Chapter 338: Dynasty's Fate
Among the three candidates for the throne, only Jun Yunshang only brought Lin Fengmian.
Because Huang Lao was recuperating from his injuries, others could not help her much.
The most important thing is that she is either here for the throne or just wants to go through the motions.
"Little sister, Mr. Ye, you are finally here." Jun Chengzhu took the initiative to greet the two of them.
"Mr. Ye, long time no see." Jun Fengya also said with a smile.
Lin Fengmian gave a cool hum and said: "You two came so early. It seems that you are bound to win the throne."
"This is natural. If nothing unexpected happens, this throne will definitely be mine!" Jun Chengye said from the passage.
Jun Fengya snorted coldly and said, "Brother, you are too confident. My father doesn't even know what the questions in the exam are, so how can you be sure of victory?"
What she said was not wrong. The test before the Lingtian Holy Emperor's palace was not necessarily about military force, it could also be about governing the country, or even something else.
Nothing is known yet until the moment of unraveling the mystery.
Jun Chengye said from the passage: "No matter whether it's literary, Taoist or military, I'm far better than you, Jiumei, what can you use to compete with me?"
Hearing this, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but be speechless. He was different from others.
Although he didn't know the test questions, he knew the results.
No matter who owns the throne, it is definitely not Jun Chengye's.
No matter how talented and ambitious he is, unless history changes, the Junyan Dynasty is destined not to be his.
There's no way Jun Chengye could castrate himself and later become Queen Fengyao, right?
At this moment, Zhao Ban hurriedly came to the palace gate and said respectfully: "Your Majesty announces that the three highnesses and their entourage are waiting to see you."
"Your Highnesses, as well as King Zhennan, Chief Ding, Young Master Ye, and Venerable Fan, please come with me."
Everyone did not dare to neglect, and followed him into the Holy Palace and walked towards the Yanhuang Palace.
Several people entered the huge square in front of the palace from the main entrance, where there were hundreds of civil and military officials standing in rows on the left and right sides.
All civil and military officials in the court looked at Jun Fengya and others. They bowed and saluted as they passed by, neatly and solemnly.
The three of them, Jun Chengye, walked according to the order of elder and younger. Jun Chengye walked at the front, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with extraordinary momentum. At a glance, he was like a dragon or a phoenix among others.
Jun Fengya followed closely behind, her expression calm, but with a sense of strategizing. She was so cool that no one dared to look down upon her.
It was the first time for Jun Yunshang to walk on this road and receive salutes from officials. She couldn't help but stare at Jun Fengya in front of her, imitating her example.
She was a little nervous, her little face tightened, and she looked intently, looking generous and willing to sacrifice herself.
She didn't look like she was going to be conferred, but like she was going to be punished.
Lin Fengmian was a little nervous at first, but now he couldn't help but laugh when he saw her following suit.
"Girl, relax, you are all in the same boat."
Jun Yunshang groaned. She didn't know where to put her hands for a moment, with a silly look on her face.
It took her a while to react, and said angrily: "Master Ye, don't tease me, I'm very nervous."
Lin Fengmian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then smiled and said: "You don't want to be the emperor, why are you so nervous?"
Jun Yunshang suddenly became enlightened and said with a sigh: "It seems so, hehe, then it's okay."
Being disturbed by her, Lin Fengmian became less nervous and walked calmly, not forgetting to appreciate the scenery on both sides.
Arriving in front of the Yanhuang Palace, Lin Fengmian suddenly discovered a huge and majestic dragon-shaped cloud entrenched above it.
This cloud-like golden dragon circled the Yanhuang Palace, constantly swimming in the clouds and mist, revealing a scale and a half of its claws from time to time.
Lin Fengmian noticed this abnormality just outside the palace gate, and thought it was some special means of manifesting the saint.
But what he saw before him made him suspicious.
"What is this? Do they really raise a dragon?"
Luo Xue explained: "This is the Dragon of Luck of the Junyan Dynasty. The cultivation methods of the monks in the dynasty are somewhat different from ordinary monks. They can absorb the power of all living beings."
"Take the Junyan Dynasty as an example. This is the fate of this dynasty, the recognition of the dynasty by the people in the world, and the blessings of the people."
"This is a bit like folk incense. We also call it the power of all living beings' wishes. As long as you join the dynasty, you can enjoy this luck bonus."
"With the help of this luck, the monks of the Imperial Dynasty will have more advantages than ordinary monks, and it will be easier for them to interact with nature and make breakthroughs."
"The will of all living beings can not only increase personal luck, but can also offset the resentment of killing and the like. It is quite useful."
Lin Fengmian asked in confusion: "If it is so wonderful, then why don't other monks follow suit? Do you think it is difficult to build a country?"
Luo Xue smiled and said: "The difficulty of ruling a country is one thing, but the point is that luck is a double-edged sword."
"If the people are in dire straits, this dragon of luck will bite back its master. If the dynasty is destroyed, the resentment of the country will also be added to it."
Lin Fengmian suddenly realized that nothing is perfect.
Water can carry a boat but also capsize it.
Luo Xue reminded: "This luck golden dragon can be mobilized by the lord of the dynasty. It can not only communicate the power of heaven and earth, but also borrow power from the people."
Lin Fengmian looked strange and said: "With the help of this golden dragon of luck, Jun Lingtian can communicate with the entire Junyan and borrow power from all the citizens?"
Luo Xue hummed and said, "Yes, so in the palace, the leader of the dynasty is very difficult to deal with."
She also didn't expect the Luck Golden Dragon to be so huge, which showed how powerful Jun Yan was at this moment.
Likewise, the dangers of the trip skyrocketed.
Lin Fengmian looked at the Luck Golden Dragon thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
Following the call from the Yanhuang Palace, Lin Fengmian and others stepped into the extremely spacious Yanhuang Palace.
I saw hundreds of people standing in an orderly manner in the solemn and sacred Yanhuang Hall, all important officials of the Junyan Dynasty.
At the top, Holy Emperor Lingtian sits on the black throne, calm and powerful, giving people great pressure.
This throne uses swords as the back and armrests, and various long swords are stuck in it like a peacock, exuding a powerful aura.
These swords are said to be the swords of enemies defeated by the Holy Emperor Lingtian, and they are symbols of his glory and achievements.
"My son, I have met my father!" Jun Chengye and the others bowed and saluted.
"I pay my respects to the Holy Emperor." Ding Fuxia and others also saluted each other.
Lin Fengmian just bowed his hand in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, attracting the attention of many courtiers.
However, Jun Lingtian didn't pay attention, and said in a calm and majestic tone: "Everyone, get up."
He looked at the people below and said in a deep voice: "I believe you know why I asked you to come here today."
"I will make a long story short. The three of you stand out from among my many descendants. You all have your own unique features."
"My emperor is about to reach the end of his life, and I would like to select one of you to inherit the throne and inherit the country."
Jun Chengye and Jun Fengya below could not help but show excited expressions on their faces, but who knew that Jun Lingtian's conversation would change at this moment.
"But! Before that, I have to ensure one thing!"
Jun Lingtian looked at it playfully and said with a smile: "Then this country still belongs to me, otherwise it would be a waste of others' generosity."
