Chapter 1090 - 1038-1039 Life Simulation - Dual Cultivation of Tao and Martial Arts_2
Taoist Skill, such supreme techniques of slaughter and those Divine Weapons are the things that determine the power level of a True Immortal Leader.
The so-called "The Dao can be taught, but techniques must not be passed on lightly" is precisely this.
Powerhouses who tread the same Dao path evolve their mastery of Laws into controlling Taoist Skills, as supreme techniques of slaughter, using these to determine their rankings and strengths.
In Da Xing City, although the stories about Shen Xiao True Monarch continued to spread, at this moment, nobody dared to visit him rashly or seek an audience.
Pei Xuanjing’s rising fame not only did not hinder the struggle for succession among the princes of the Da Ye Dynasty, but it further intensified this aspect of the power struggle.
These princes, with the support of various Religious Sects, continually vied for power, engaging in both open and covert conflicts, while simultaneously, some Sects of the Da Ye Dynasty began to grow restless.
With fires burning at the borders and turmoil within, a continuous string of natural and man-made disasters occurred.
In just a few short years of Xuanjing’s seclusion, the entire Da Ye Dynasty went from a flourishing scene to instantaneously looking like a collapsing edifice.
Within the vast territory of the Da Ye Dynasty, besides these princes, some influential officials also rose up, seizing the opportunity. Although they had not entirely raised their banners in rebellion, with the backing of some Sects and noble families, they started ignoring the imperial court’s commands, forming states within a state.
Therefore, the Emperor made a decisive call to have these princes personally lead troops, each commanding a region, to suppress the various rebellions, attempting to reclaim control of each prefecture and to eliminate those vassals with hearts of disloyalty.
Although the old Emperor was well aware that each of his princes was ambitious, if they stayed in Da Xing City he could restrict them, but allowing these princes to leave the Royal Capital was like setting dragons free into the sea, tigers returning to the mountains; their power would grow stronger and the competition more intense.
On one hand there was unceasing internal strife, with the imminent threat of war breaking out and rebels emerging continuously; on the other hand, the departure of many princes from the Royal Capital would inevitably lead to an increase in their power, reaching an unmanageable extent.
