Chapter 500: Chapter 213: It’s Lively Today! (Seeking Subscription)

The sun hung high in the sky, and the spring light was radiant.

After last night’s fierce fight between Chen Yi and "Black Impermanence" Liao Ai, the Duke Jingye Mansion was abuzz with discussions.

Many people were seated in the main hall of the inner courtyard.

However, those who arrived earlier were mostly noble family sons without official positions, sitting in twos and threes in the outer circle, discussing current affairs.

In the inner circle, besides Wang Yang, the top disciple of Kyoto Academy and first on the Earth Ranking, there were only three titled nobles.

They wanted to befriend Wang Yang, but after gauging his mood, they reconsidered and continued their quiet conversations.

While marveling at last night’s astounding feats of the Divine Power Realm practitioners moving mountains and filling seas, they mostly discussed the "Sword Cultivation Sacred Land" outside the mansion and the Chen Family’s "One Family, Three Marquises."

"The appearance of three marquises from the Chen Family is an unprecedented honor, seldom seen through the ages."

"Duke Wuan, Chen Taiping, succeeded the marquisate thirty years ago and is in his prime. He has now been entrusted with significant duties by the Holy Emperor, training soldiers in Beizhi Prefecture and assisting in the defense of Beixiong Pass."

"The eldest son, Chen Yuan, due to his connection with his birth mother, Zhou Wanyi, succeeded the Duke Jingye title, continuing the Zhou Family’s bloodline."

"The second son, Chen Yi, is even more remarkable, born with omens and displaying precociousness at the Grasp Ceremony. After joining the Grand Void Sect, he became one of the foremost geniuses in the world."

"Currently, that ’Sword Cultivation Sacred Land’ outside the mansion was also established by the Heroic Marquis. In the future, sword cultivators who train there will perhaps consider themselves students and bow to him?"

"Perhaps because of this, the court established checkpoints there to collect fees, turning the mentor-disciple relationship into a transaction."

"Mr. Liu has a point. This way, those sword cultivators won’t have a sense of gratitude towards Chen Yi or the Chen Family as they are not learning as disciples."

"One must admit, the current Holy Emperor is far-seeing!"

Far-seeing?

Wang Yang secretly sneered; if he were far-seeing, he shouldn’t have granted that land deed to Chen Yi.

With that contract, even if the Chen Family doesn’t engage in commerce, they can gain enough rare resources by collecting manorial rents.

Moreover, since many sword cultivators come from humble origins, the Chen Family can select the best to join them through that ’Sword Cultivation Sacred Land.’

In the long run, as long as Chen Yi doesn’t fall midway, the Chen Family is unlikely to decline.

Wang Yang pondered deeply, thinking:

"This Chen Family is an inherited Military Marquis Family, and now because of Chen Yi’s ’sacred land,’ they have grown stronger..."

"A century later, the Chen Family, Chen Yi, and others will become an unmanageable nuisance for the Da Wei Dynasty."

Wang Yang had read the "Wei Dynasty Chronicles," knowing that history had seen such singular dominance more than once.

While those families often met tragic ends, each instance brought considerable harm to the court and martial world, affecting decades.

Not a good thing.

"Oh? Speaking of which, aside from the ’Black Impermanence’ event yesterday, another major event occurred in our Wei Dynasty."

"Are you referring to the sealing of Wuliang Mountain in He Xi Prefecture? If you didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten."

"Gentlemen, is there any investigation into why Wuliang Mountain is sealed for a century?"

"I don’t know. With the events in Kyoto Prefecture yesterday, who had the mind to focus on He Xi Prefecture?"

I know!

Hearing the discussions around him, Wang Yang became increasingly displeased with the power and influence of the Chen Family and Chen Yi.

Last night, after hearing about this, he, Xie Dongan, and Jiang Ye returned to the Kyoto Academy from Qu Pond, and naturally learned the reason for the "sealing of Wuliang Mountain" from the Great Master.

——All because Chen Yi, alone with his sword, ascended Wuliang Mountain!

At first, Wang Yang couldn’t understand.

Wuliang Mountain, with a thousand-year heritage, was guarded by many Divine Power Realm practitioners, including Lou Yuchun, Lou Yushan, and the old ancestor Daoist Gushan.

How could they be suppressed by a newcomer sword cultivator like Chen Yi to the point of sealing the mountain for a hundred years?

But after hearing the Great Master’s detailed explanation, he realized that aside from Chen Yi’s challenge, Wuliang Mountain’s sealing largely stemmed from their own problems.

Wang Yang remembered the Great Master’s subsequent teaching: "It’s easy to conquer a mountain, but hard to defend it."

"A hundred or a thousand years of heritage, the key issue isn’t the cultivation techniques, but the change of original intentions."

"Not just Wuliang Mountain, Kyoto Academy, the court, even other noble families and sects face similar challenges."

"This is the fundamental reason for their decline, not talent or character of descendants."

Wang Yang deeply agreed, just as he had thought earlier.

The Chen Family, strengthened by the "Sword Cultivation Sacred Land" and protected by the Sword Immortal Chen Yi, would eventually impact the entire Da Wei Dynasty.

Just then, a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing rushed in from outside, and as soon as he found a seat, he said to those around him:

"Something’s happened! A major event!"

The noble family sons who had arrived earlier looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Xun, what has gotten you so anxious?"

"Yeah, didn’t you say earlier you were coming with the Wu Family and Zheng Family? How come you’re here alone now? Where are they?"

The newcomer looked at them seriously and said, "I’m talking about those two families."

"I just went to the Wu Family to find Zheng Ming, and can you guess what I saw?"

"Brother Xun, stop beating around the bush. What happened, what about those two families?"

The one called Brother Xun did not delay further, his tone serious as he softly said:

"Today, the young sons of those two families, the ones at Kyoto Academy, offended someone they shouldn’t have!"

"Are you talking about Wu Yong of the Wu Family and Zheng Xincai of the Zheng Family? Who did they offend?"
