Chapter 481: Lackeys
The Immortal Fu Envoy of the New Heng Dynasty is a very interesting group. When Wang Luo was flipping through the information, he paid attention to it with interest.
First of all, the so-called Immortal Fu Envoy is also known as the Dao of the world in the New Heng Dynasty. They are under the direct management of the national teacher, and at the same time receive the blessings of the immortal officials, so they can touch the immortal power through the mere mortal body, and have supernatural abilities that are completely different from the new Heng Immortal Dao.
The dying man in the lake before, before he died, decided that Wang Luo was the immortal envoy, and entrusted the treasure jade in his mouth to him, because Wang Luo had both a Qing Yuan Infant of the Immortal League and a red baby turned into a desolate poison. Although the realm of power is not so extraordinary, but the one who can be the head of the two worlds of immortals and desolation is only the immortal envoy in the eyes of the new Heng Dynasty.
Of course, the value of the Immortal Fu Envoy is not only the excellence of individual strength, but also the key is that these Dao Species, who are the leaders of two families, can often play a vital role in the evolution of the Immortal Dao of the dynasty. A few geniuses have a flash of inspiration, which is better than a hundred years of cultivation of mortals, and similar cases are never uncommon in cultivation, and the immortal envoys can often become the best among them, and promote the cultivation progress of the entire dynasty with their own strength......
But in essence, the so-called blessing of the immortal official is just a cruel human experiment. Every once in a while, the current dynasty master will select a group of "Dao Seeds" with outstanding talents and bones from the country, and hand them over to the Heavenly Court Immortal Officials for training. The immortal officials would inflict all kinds of desolate poison on these Dao species, causing most of them to die on the spot. And the few who are lucky enough to survive become the best objects to observe. The immortal officials will deduce and optimize the New Heng Immortal Dao according to the distortion of these people. After that, the methods of deduction of these immortal officials can naturally be extended to the entire territory of Xinheng.
Yes, Xinheng's immortal Dao development does not rely on the so-called epiphany of the world's Dao species - in most cases, the aura in the minds of the immortal envoys blooms, but when the time is ripe, the memories sealed by the immortal officials are released.
Throughout the hundreds of years of history of the dynasty, the immortal Dao innovation that has affected the whole territory several times and made the national strength skyrocket, is essentially the top-down promotion of the immortal officials and national teachers.
But how easy is it to break the Great Law? The rules designed by Lu Zhiyao during the Battle of the Wasteland were almost flawless. Even if it is as strong as the immortals of the Heavenly Court, when facing the Great Law, it is often like throwing an axe at the sky.
Either party strife and civil strife, or civil rebellion, or tyrant and bad government lead to the overall collapse...... In short, every once in a while, there will be a vicious battle that will plague the whole territory, and every fierce battle will make Mingzhou lose some of the vitality that he has finally recovered. In the early years, when Heavenly Court was not strict in restricting the communication of immortals, there were even bad precedents in which the immortal officials personally went down to stand for a certain party, which eventually almost led to the outbreak of the immortal war.
Yes, if you want to set things right and re-establish a "mortal" civilization, Heavenly Court must abandon the desolate dynasty that has been cultivated for a hundred years and overturn everything from scratch.
In the end, the second plan was approved by the Lord of Heaven.
With such a unique advantage, the Mingzhou civilization in the Heavenly Court's planning, even if the territory is small and the population is not as large as that of the Immortal League, it is very likely to develop faster and better, and in the end, before the people of the Immortal League know it, they will take away the orthodoxy of the mortal world, causing the Great Law to collapse naturally.
This pattern of stability and continuation for hundreds of years has naturally created the Heavenly Court, as well as the people and things related to the Heavenly Court, which have a lofty position in the New Heng Dynasty.
However, this hundred years can be called the darkest century in Mingzhou. It is true that there is no possibility of civil strife in the Dynasty of Immortal Officials, and even with the help of the immortals, capable people and righteous people in the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The country soon became a thriving country, and the wounds caused by the centuries of civil strife were quickly healed...... If this momentum continues, it seems that it is no longer delusional to compete with the Immortal Alliance.
As a result, on the land of Mingzhou, an unprecedented catastrophe broke out. After the catastrophe, Mingzhou was devastated, ten rooms and nine empty, and the surviving people multiplied for several generations, and they have not been able to fade their fear of heaven. And Heavenly Court's thousand-year plan fell to the bottom for a while.
Of course, this is not because the Heavenly Court Immortal Officials have the heart to actively enter the WTO and help sentient beings, it is purely a helpless move. Rather, it is because a prosperous mortal civilization is of vital importance to Heavenly Court.
When a combined, Mahayana-level practitioner deduces the exercises and tests the techniques on the spot, the effect he exerts is often difficult for many low-level cultivators to make up for with the number - a few low-grade immortal officials can deduce the immortal path of the entire New Heng Dynasty, and the key is also this.
But as a result, just as the first centennial plan began to settle, a result was presented that shocked and even despaired everyone.
The civilization that was forcibly supported by the immortals has been forcibly strengthened, but it has lost its "mortal" attributes, and it cannot arouse the interest of the great law of the immortal alliance at all. The immortals have been busy for a hundred years, and their impact on the Great Law is not as good as the years when Mingzhou was full of wars and civil strife!
As a result, the immortals had to face a difficult choice: what to do after that?
One plan is to continue to promote development according to the existing line, whether it represents the mortal world or the heavenly court, in short, it is not a bad thing to have a strong national strength. If you can really build a civilization that is stronger than the Immortal Alliance, why not?
And the power that this lackey shared was quickly confirmed.
However, it is very feasible to use Mingzhou to replace Li Taozhuang, and to replace Taozhuang, the great law of the Immortal League. Even, but judging from the paper deduction, this matter is simply inevitable!
It is true that during the years of the Heavenly Dao Famine, the mortal civilization in Mingzhou suffered a heavy blow, and almost only the dying fire remained...... But at that time, the sky was full of smoke, there was almost no real meaning of the happy land, in the early years of the establishment of the Immortal League, even the territory was fragmented, and often had to face the surging offensive of the famine, had to spend a lot of energy to deal with the border defense, in comparison, a territory was complete at the beginning, and there was the blessing of heaven and no foreign enemies of Mingzhou, but there was a certain strategic advantage.
As a result, a truly stable power structure was born.
At least in Wang Luo's opinion, Heavenly Court's support for mortal civilization in Mingzhou is probably more to compete for the right to define mortals. Left and right of the heavens, which side can better represent mortal beings? The way of heaven is ethereal and ruthless, why lock the Xianmeng family? If you want to talk about mortals, the left side of the sky also has mortals, even in a place full of desolation, immortals can still open up a pure paradise for mortals, and nurture vigorous vitality...... So, if the mortal civilization on the left side of the sky can develop more prosperous than the right side of the sky, why does the Heavenly Dao continue to love the side of the Immortal Alliance?
What's more, no one can be sure that this mode of micro-manipulation by the immortals themselves will still be efficient in the next hundred or hundreds of years. In fact, when the first hundred-year settlement period came, in the face of that ironic result, many immortal officials were quite relieved, and even secretly happy-dignified heavenly court immortals, but they had to work for mortals, why?
Even if you are constrained by the fairy law, you can't resist, but you have the intention to do things and you don't have the intention to deal with it, and the difference in efficiency is also clear at a glance.
In addition, in the Battle of the Wasteland, Heavenly Court won the right to define above the level of the Transformation God. This not only means that Mingzhou can continuously breed strong people above the god and even the immortals. It also means that they also have incomparable advantages in the theory of immortal paths.
At this time, Wang Luo played such a lackey who consolidated power for the national teacher.
The New Heng Dynasty was carefully supported by the immortals of the Heavenly Court under such historical conditions. This time, the immortals carefully iterated the way of playing, and chose the most simple and effective copycat method: to put it simply, they no longer tried to start anew and create a mortal civilization that was superior to the Immortal League. Instead, he is on par with the Immortal League everywhere. What the Immortal League does, the new Heng Dynasty learns to do, even if some things are limited to all aspects of the conditions and cannot be fully referenced, then if you can refer to one more point, you will refer to one more point, and you will never be original unless you have to...... At the same time, the immortals were firmly restrained, strictly maintaining a distance from mortal civilizations, and only completing basic communication and guidance through national teachers. And provide a little help if necessary.
As for the actual effect of this set of plays, it is unknown for the time being - those Heavenly Court Immortal Officials who surrendered and surrendered have forgotten the results of the assessment of the most recent return to Heavenly Court. In fact, most of their cognition of the previous dynasty comes from the historical records of the Xinheng Dynasty - but in any case, before the Xinheng, there was no regime that lasted for hundreds of years and was still stable on the land of Mingzhou. And every few decades, Heavenly Court will also send new immortal officials to the New Heng Dynasty to take turns and work silently in secret.
But the problem with this plan is that if it is only to overwhelm the Immortal Alliance in terms of strength, then there is no need for Heavenly Court to support mortal civilizations at all...... Throwing a large number of precious immortal officials into the mortal world to waste their years is not a costly luxury? Although the rank of those immortal officials is not high, if they can endure penance and penance for hundreds of years, their strength will definitely be greatly improved, and the improvement will be much higher than the progress of mortal civilization. However, it was precisely because Heavenly Court was unable to defeat the opponent by brute force that there was trouble in the future, so a country with pure strength and strength was of no value to Heavenly Court at all.
——
Because the power of one person to centralize power is extremely limited. The position of the national teacher is like a castle in the air many times, and on the surface, his power is almost above that of the emperor, but in most cases, this power only has a deterrent effect - once the abuse of power leads to the collapse of the government, the punishment of the immortal official is almost instantaneous! And the power that only has deterrent power is at most feared by people, but it is difficult to be recognized by people. Therefore, from a very early age, Xinheng's national teacher has been deliberately decentralizing...... Cultivating Immortal Fu Envoys, and then widely dispersed them throughout the territory of Xinheng, quickly spreading their influence that was infinitely powerful but limited to the small imperial court, to the entire territory, and then reversed from the entire territory back to the imperial court.
This question constitutes the theoretical cornerstone of Heavenly Court's thousand-year-old plan. The more prosperous the New Heng Dynasty is, the more difficult it is for the Great Law of the Immortal Alliance to be proud of to be exerted. And without the protection of the Great Law, the many killing moves that the Immortal Alliance relied on to resist the Heavenly Court became a tree without roots.
This strategic idea is of course very good, and even genius, but in practice, for a thousand years, Heavenly Court can be described as difficult.
The second option is much more crude: since the old one is no longer viable, simply delete it and start over.
In fact, this is also a situation deliberately created by successive national teachers.
Heavenly Court established a huge testing ground in Mingzhou, with the ostensible intention of analyzing the powerful secret of the Immortal Alliance from the reproduction of mortal civilizations, and targeting it—at least that's what the seven Immortal Officials who surrendered to Cheng explained. But there is a high probability that this is not the case, perhaps it is because the immortal officials have lost important memories related to Heavenly Court after surrendering and submitting to obedience, or maybe these low-grade immortal officials have never been qualified to know the true intentions of Heavenly Court......
Because even with so many advantageous conditions, the mortal civilization in Mingzhou still can't develop the Immortal Alliance—let alone compete with the Immortal Alliance, they can't even exist stably for a long time independently. In the first three hundred years, the civilizations that Heavenly Court had painstakingly managed fell one after another. The frequent change of dynasties is like a transit locust in a scroll. No matter how hard the immortal officials tried to select capable people and wise men from the mortal civilizations, they taught them earnestly, and even occasionally used some confusing immortal methods...... But it has always failed to stabilize the country.
Whether it is the Heavenly Venerable Drawing Bow or the Great Enchantment of the Eight Directions, the Great Law is needed as the underlying support. Otherwise, the former will lose the Illusory Realm, a place of refuge and recuperation, and eventually gradually enter decay. The latter will simply have no cornerstone of existence.
Later, more than a hundred years later, the high-grade golden immortals of the heavenly court learned from the pain and decided to no longer trust mortals, but used the unprecedented power of the immortals to strengthen the grassroots governance, and they mobilized a large number of low-grade immortal officials to sink to the grassroots level, settled in the mortal court, and manipulated the government like ordinary officials. These immortal officials may have their own plans in private, and they are also full of contradictions with each other. But bound by the laws of immortals, at least on the issue of the great plan of the heavenly court, no one dares to make a mistake easily, because of private affairs. In this way, when the chaos can be set right, the mortal civilization of Mingzhou can quickly return to the right track......
Although the national teacher Zhang Jincheng does not take care of any daily affairs, he has the right to dictate any state affairs - if he insists on going his own way, he can even do things that are abolished. And the Daoists of the world who directly belong to the national teachers also have extremely high privileges in the New Heng Dynasty. Although they can't communicate directly with the immortal officials, they can communicate directly with the national teachers, and the national teachers often have extreme trust in the immortal envoys. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, the authority of the Immortal Fu Envoy in the country is almost absolute.
Beyond the mountains on the southwest shore of Mad Lake lies a small town at the foot of the mountain.
The population of the city is only a few thousand, and it is like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle every day. Even the lord of the city has no bureaucratic pretenses, laughing and scolding with the peddlers and pawns in the market all day long...... However, now, this casual city lord was dressed up and knelt tremblingly in front of Wang Luo, with cold sweat behind him.
"See, I've seen the Immortal Fu Envoy, the lower official, the lower official Xiahou Ying, I would like to listen to the Lord's send!"
