Chapter 398: One Man Becomes the Immortal (1)
“The Wen Immortal Clan is one of the top 20 clans in our Nine Dragon Mountain, second only to the super clans with ancient giants. They actually chose to side with Zhu Wanhao at the first moment. What potential does Zhu Wanhao have to make the Wen Immortal Clan bet all their treasures on Zhu Wanhao?”
“To be honest, if Zhu Wuyan hadn’t used the Art of Gathering Force to temper his cultivation foundation and risked advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, he definitely wouldn’t have been qualified to become the successor Crown Prince. Although Zhu Wanhao’s combat strength was not bad, his foundation was still problematic. He even spent so much energy and time on alchemy. If that was the case, how could he compete for the position of the legacy competition in a few decades? Zhu Wuyan’s potential isn’t great, and his future is a little dim. I’m afraid the Wen clan is betting on the wrong treasure this time.”
“There’s no need to think about this legacy competition. The Wen Immortal Clan’s goal should be the next legacy competition. They’re going to be Zhu Wuhao’s nanny for more than a thousand years. The Wen Immortal Clan is interesting enough. In more than a thousand years, they should be able to make Zhu Wuhao give up alchemy and focus on cultivation to increase her cultivation and combat strength.”
“No matter what, even a colossus like the Wen Immortal Clan has spared no effort to support Zhu Wuyan. It can be seen that Zhu Wuyan still has something to recommend him. Our clan is facing so many problems now, so we can use this opportunity to rely on Zhu Wuyan to reduce the conflicts in the clan. In the future, if Zhu Wuyang can really rise up, not only will our family be able to turn the situation around, but we can also take another step forward.”
..
Following the Wen clan’s surrender, many Nine Dragon Mountain experts and forces who had heard the news were in an uproar. Immediately, many of them were tempted. In the next few days, they rushed to Zhu Wanhao’s temporary Crown Prince’s palace in the Dragon Flame Stone Hall and joined Zhu Wanhao’s army.
After many rounds of selection, Zhu Wuyang had also temporarily confirmed the leader of the six departments.
As the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhu Wuyang naturally had to choose the person he trusted the most to take over. After careful consideration, Zhu Wuyang temporarily let Hesheng take over.
However, He Sheng was only an Aurous Core Stage cultivator. With his strength, he could not shoulder the position of the head of the six departments at all. Therefore, Zhu Wuwan specially arranged for two great cultivators at the late stage of Soul Formation and above to be the left and right assistant ministers of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs to assist He Sheng.
Of course, under such circumstances, He Sheng could easily be manipulated by two Soul Formation Final Stage cultivators. This would depend on whether he could withstand it.
If he could seize the power of the Ministry of Personnel in the competition between two Soul Formation Final Stage cultivators, then this position would naturally belong to He Sheng.
He Sheng could also rely on his position as the head of the six tribes to obtain a large amount of resources and wealth. He would be able to improve his strength at the fastest speed possible and lead the He family to new glory.
To He Sheng, the position of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs was both a huge challenge and an unprecedented opportunity.
It would depend on whether He Sheng could grasp it!
The Ministry of Revenue, which ranked second in the six ministries, was handed over to Wen Kui. They had been together for a long time, and Wen Kui was the first to bring the Wen family to Zhu Wuyan. Even if it was to buy a horse bone with a thousand gold, Zhu Wuyan would only arrange a good position for Wen Kui.
Moreover, Wen Kui was extremely capable. He had been able to hold a fraction of the authority in Dragon Flame Grotto for so many years. He was also one of the most powerful inner elders under the Dragon Flame Palace Lord. All these years, he had managed the area that belonged to him in Dragon Flame Grotto in an orderly manner.
Wen Kui was only a late-stage Soul Formation cultivator and was only half a step away from the Great Circle of Soul Formation. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to successfully break through to the Great Circle of Soul Formation within a hundred years.
With strength, ability, and rich experience and skills, Zhu Wuyang was naturally willing to hand the Ministry of Revenue over to Wen Kuizhi.
Moreover, the largest source of income for the newly established Ministry of Revenue was the tax revenue of half of Dragon Flame Grotto. This was a place that Wen Kui was only familiar with. He was also very willing to take on the position of Minister of Revenue.
With Wen Kui only controlling wealth and resources, Zhu Wuyang believed that his Wuyang Peak did not have to worry about financial problems, as long as Zhu Wuyang did not buy a large number of precious spirit pills, heavenly treasures, and so on.
The importance of the Ministry of War was needless to say. No matter which dynasty it was, those who held military power were the most unyielding. Even in this fantasy world where personal power was beyond imagination, military power was equally important.
If tens of thousands of low-level cultivators joined forces to set up an array formation, it was definitely very likely that they would be able to pull down high-level cultivators.
However, because the development of the Bureau of Military Personnel could not be separated from the support of the Bureau of Revenue, everyone knew that the Bureau of Military Personnel was a big spender of gold, so the Bureau of Revenue was ranked ahead of the Bureau of Military Personnel.
Zhu Wanhao personally took charge of the Bureau of Military Personnel and specially promoted two late-stage Soul Formation cultivators and above to become the left and right assistant ministers of the Bureau of Military Personnel. They were both skilled in combat and killing. One of them was a perfected Soul Formation cultivator, and the other was about to break through.
Although the Ministry of Justice was ranked at the bottom, no department would ignore its existence. During special times, the position of the Ministry of Justice surpassed that of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhu Wuan was quite relieved to have Wen Yuannian, the Vice Hall Master of Nine Dragon Mountain’s Punishment Hall, become the Minister of Justice. Therefore, the left and right assistant ministers he arranged for him were all Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, and their strength was far inferior to Wen Yuannian.
The position of Minister of Works was handed over to a Soul Formation Great Circle cultivator who had just joined. His name was Wang Yuliang, and his family wasn’t much weaker than the Wen family. Moreover, he was extremely skilled in the art of weapon refinement.
This was the natural leader of the Ministry of Works, so after some investigation, Zhu Wuyan decisively gave the position of Minister of Works to Wang Yuliang.
The position of Minister of Rites had been handed over to Peng Yingzhi by Zhu Wuan. After all, half of the duties of the Ministry of Rites were to serve Zhu Wuan personally. Peng Yingzhi had taken such good care of Zhu Wuan, so who else could the position be given to other than her?
Zhu Wuan had promoted two Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivators to work with Peng Yingzhi. With the resources and wealth of the Ministry of Rites, she believed that Peng Yingzhi’s strength would soon increase at a terrifying speed. It was possible for her to advance to the Soul Formation Stage.
Since then, the positions of the six ministers and the left and right assistant ministers had been decided, which meant that everything on the safe peak was on the right track. Next, they only needed to fill in the branches and leaves in this framework.
Wuyang Peak was the name of Zhu Wuyang’s faction. It was named after Zhu Wuyang. At the same time, this name was also the name of Wuyang Peak’s headquarters and the name of Wuyang Tower.
It was simple and easy to remember. It was catchy and had a beautiful meaning.
The symbol of Wuyang Peak was the picture of a beautiful flower and a full moon. It was filled with flowers and family reunion. It did not have the bloodlust and killing that the demonic path forces usually had. Instead, it became a clear stream of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.
This was also related to Zhu Wuyan’s personality. Although she was ambitious, Zhu Wuyan never liked killing and fighting. After all, killing meant danger, and danger meant death.
Zhu Wuyang wasn’t a brainless idiot who insisted on doing such a suicidal thing.
To put it bluntly, even in the entire cultivation world, fighting and killing were not the main colors. Everyone had lived for so many years and it was not easy to cultivate to this point. How could they easily fight and kill?
If that was the case, there would have been no one in the cultivation world long ago. How could it have developed to this stage?
Even the fights and battles between the three super forces in Southern Wasteland were mostly small-scale battles. It had been many years since a large-scale battle had been set off.
The life of an immortal cultivator was also a life, and it was even more precious. How could it be easily consumed in fighting and killing?
Unless they had no other choice, Immortal Cultivators rarely had life-and-death battles. Was it not good to live?
As for the stories in many novels and movies that described how a sect would be wiped out at any time, many of them were just fantasies. The real cultivation world would not be like that.
In the midst of his busy schedule, a month passed very quickly. The first batch of profits had also been successfully transferred to his account. It was a total of more than two billion low-grade Spirit Stones, bringing Zhu Wuyang a generous amount of Breakthrough Stones.
In addition to the Breakthrough Stones he had earned previously, the total number of Breakthrough Stones Zhu Wuyang had at that moment had reached an unprecedented level.
