Chapter 836: The Resistance of Life-Simulating Chess Pieces

Chapter 836 Life Simulation - Chess Piece's Resistance

The unknown Seventh Prince actually controls the authority of the King's Capital Array Hub. If this news spreads, the other princes will probably be shocked.

But Pei Xuanjing is curious about how the Ninth Prince knew about such a secret matter, and the other party is so sure, without hiding a trace, and directly comes to him to ask for help.

Why is he so confident?

Anyone's existence must have value, whether for oneself or for others, only with enough value can one obtain a sufficient matching status.

Pei Xuanjing actually agrees with this sentence. Whether it is strong strength or direct or indirect influence on others, unless there is no need to live alone, it is necessary to show a certain value.

Pei Xuanjing's identity in this world is the Seventh Prince of the Dahong Dynasty. He has no martial arts talent and no strong supporters. He can live so peacefully in Taixuan Temple without being disturbed. It is precisely because of his value, his talent above Taoism, and the qualification to take over the King's Capital Array Hub in the future.

Over the years, Pei Xuanjing did not do anything and did not make any contributions. However, in addition to the food, clothing and daily expenses of the prince himself, the emperor continuously rewarded him with cultivation resources. The reason was that Pei Xuanjing's talent for Taoism was valuable to the emperor.

After he was crowned, Pei Xuanjing naturally revealed some of his talent for Taoism and cultivation realm. Perhaps it was because the Taoism in this world had declined for too long, or perhaps it was Pei Xuanjing's nature as a true immortal. Even if Pei Xuanjing thought that he had only revealed a negligible part of his Taoism ability, it was far better than the current master of the formation hub of the Dahong King's capital.

This situation shocked the old emperor of the Dahong Dynasty, because the power of the same formation hub after Pei Xuanjing took over was several times stronger than that of the original master.

This is why the emperor was unwilling to let Pei Xuanjing, who was supposed to return to his fiefdom after his coronation, leave the capital. If Pei Xuanjing was there, after activating the formation hub of the capital, even the strongest person in the twelfth floor could not break the formation within a few months.

And these few months were enough for all the strong men of the Dahong Dynasty to come to the king from anywhere, so the existence of Pei Xuanjing was equivalent to adding a trump card to the old emperor, making him invincible.

Although Pei Xuanjing refused the emperor on the grounds that he was still young and did not want to take over the formation hub so early, he still obtained part of the royal hub authority and could intervene and take over the royal formation hub at any time when necessary.

"With the emperor's mind, if I expressed my eagerness to take over the formation hub at that time, I am afraid that the emperor would immediately turn from excitement to worry, right?" Pei Xuanjing's mouth showed a mocking thought.

Emperors are lonely and they will not completely trust anyone. They only trust themselves. Anyone else is just a tool for them to check and balance and maintain their own rule.

Pei Xuanjing did show extraordinary talent in Taoism, and he could activate the formation hub to double its power, which is a good thing for the entire Dahong Dynasty and the emperor.

But this is also a double-edged sword. This means that if Pei Xuanjing really takes charge of the formation hub, he will be invincible in this royal capital. An invincible existence is not only a protection for the supreme emperor, but also a great threat.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing's refusal at the beginning was the most appropriate result, which was recognized by both parties. If Pei Xuanjing was really a young man who did not know how to advance or retreat, and he decisively agreed when the emperor asked him to take over the formation hub, then not only would he not have any chance to take charge of the formation hub, but he would become the biggest threat to the emperor. At the least, he would be directly repatriated to the fiefdom and not allowed to return to the royal capital, and at the worst, he would disappear directly.

Never overestimate the moral bottom line of an emperor. Maintaining his own rule is the first priority for any emperor, especially the old emperor who is unwilling to give up his power.

Pei Xuanjing's choice is a happy one. He has some authority to protect himself when necessary, but he does not have all the authority, so he will not become a threat to himself. This is the most satisfactory result for the emperor.

"Haha, how can a mortal who has never really come into contact with a true immortal imagine the greatness of a true immortal?" Pei Xuanjing's face showed a faint smile. In his palm, there was a seal rotating and floating. This was the seal that could call the hub of the king's capital formation.

The Taoist practice in this world has been declining for too long, so that the strong people in this world have forgotten how mysterious the magical powers of Taoism are. At least they cannot imagine it with their current cognition.

The way of formation, although it is not a mainstream practice system in the practice world of the Ming Dynasty, most cultivators will learn one or two formations. Whether it is used to gather the essence of heaven and earth, protect themselves during practice, etc., it has some effects.

Although Pei Xuanjing had not come into contact with many formations and could not be considered a master of formations, or even proficient in formations, but at least with his realm of True Immortal, most formations would not have any secrets in his eyes. He could clearly see through the essence of the formation and find the core of it.

The formation of this royal capital is indeed a long-standing one. Even with Pei Xuanjing's current realm, he cannot replicate and fully understand it. However, it does not mean that Pei Xuanjing cannot refine a seal to gain control of this formation after obtaining the authority of this part of the formation hub.

Therefore, in this short period of time, Pei Xuanjing constantly eroded and analyzed the essence of this formation hub with his own realm vision. Although he could not integrate it, it was easy to refine a seal to control this formation hub.

"Is this ninth prince the one you cultivated to check and balance the other two sons?" Pei Xuanjing smiled inexplicably and sighed: "It seems that the other party is not willing to be just a check and balance, and has his own ideas."

For the rise of the ninth prince, it is not just Pei Xuanjing. Everyone can see that it was recommended by the old emperor to check and balance the second and third princes, so as to prevent his princes from having too much power and threatening his position.

There is no doubt that the emperor had revealed Pei Xuanjing's authority to be in charge of the formation's hub, but the other party's plan seemed to have some flaws. At least now it seemed that the ninth prince was unwilling to simply serve as the old emperor's pawn and a check and balance.
