Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 169 - 121: She Truly Is a Woman Blessed with Good Fortune
Chapter 169: Chapter 121: She Truly Is a Woman Blessed with Good Fortune
The so-called Tianjiao sealed within the pages of history refers to a situation where two extremely strong Heavenly Prides emerge in the same era and power structure. To avoid internal strife, one is sealed to be available for when a succession is needed in the absence of a Tianjiao.
However, this is not the most interesting aspect. The real intrigue of this sealing system lies in the fact that the victor is the one who gets sealed, leaving the slightly weaker contender to become the ruler of the current era.
Of course, such Tianjiao wouldn’t intentionally lose. Showing anything less than their full strength would disqualify them from being sealed and would mean they have no right to vie for the position of Sect Hierarch or Emperor.
Because it is the loser who takes over the power, this system greatly reduces internal conflict to some extent.
The reason for the loser’s ascension is to protect the sealed individual.
The person sealed remains in a state of slumber.
...
If the victor were to ascend and accidentally caused the death of the sealed victor due to some mishap,
After all, as the victor, a cover-up might be all that’s needed to deal with it, at most leading to some serious injury.
But with the loser ascendancy system, it’s a completely different matter. Legally speaking, the loser is allowed to take power because the victor has given up the opportunity to the loser.
If the loser were to act against the sealed victor, his legitimacy would be challenged.
With the person who yielded the seat to you dead, on what grounds can you still sit in this position?
Moreover, this greatly ensures that the sealed one’s right to assume authority after awakening is morally justifiable.
The world was originally his.
The sealed also benefit from this system—they can wait for an era that suits them.
For instance, the arrival of Chen Qing has opened a mysterious Void Gate.
After Ji Ru explained in detail the sealing system, Chen Qing immediately felt the pressure.
Not only has a Tianjiao awakened, but he is also a fierce character.
Furthermore, other sects may likely awaken their sealed ones.
However, Chen Qing has no desire to become the Master of the Mortal World.
For a being of the Ghost Face Realm to try and control the third realm is no different from seeking death.
After the gathering concluded, Chen Qing picked up a pile of battle reports sent by Jiang Miaoxian and found that the situation was not bad after reading them.
With the help of Wei Qingchen, who is at the Foundation Establishment level, in all directions, all obstacles have been dissolved.
Moreover, the Jiguang Sect itself is very powerful, and people like Jiang Yuhu are the local strongmen here.
There seems to be no major issues, and everything should be settled within two months. Chen Qing lay in bed and began to sleep with his head buried.
Unlike normal people, Chen Qing really enjoys an enclosed environment. He can’t stand any light when he sleeps, so he usually sleeps with his head covered.
Don’t ask. The answer is that he’s timid.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace of Da Yan.
In the back garden.
Li Chonghuan maintained his proud demeanor. After meeting his future wife, Princess Yi’an, he turned around and headed to another quiet palace.
Although it was late at night, martial chants could be heard outside the palace.
The place was quiet, yet vast, looking almost like a duplicate of the Imperial Palace itself, standing behind it like a mirror image.
Li Chonghuan casually made his way to the depths of the palace and in a grand hall resembling the imperial audience chamber of the Imperial Palace, there was no one present except for a shirtless man with muscles tense, wielding a Coiling Dragon Spear, vigorously practicing.
The man had a remarkably handsome face, exuding a daunting charisma.
Upon seeing Li Chonghuan enter, the man didn’t stop but continued his spear practice.
Li Chonghuan found a desk to sit at leisurely and watched Ji Dang practicing with his spear calmly.
After half an hour, Ji Dang finally put down his spear.
He casually sat down on the floor next to Li Chonghuan. “Are you the Divine Son of the Immortal Court?”
Li Chonghuan nodded slightly. “You are quite diligent, practicing with your spear as soon as you awaken.”
Ji Dang laughed casually: “I haven’t practiced for a few thousand years. It feels a bit rusty.”
Li Chonghuan said, “To be precise, it has been two thousand two hundred and fifty-one years.”
Ji Dang didn’t find it surprising that Li Chonghuan knew this. It wasn’t strange for Li Chonghuan to have access to this information.
“Did you lose at the immortal island?”
Li Chonghuan said, “I alone vanquished the Yin Yang Sect.”
Ji Dang chuckled, “Then it’s a defeat. The current Master of Mortal World and the strongest of the Qi Refining Realm from the Jiguang Sect, it’s not shameful for you to be defeated.”
“Tell me about him. After all, I was awakened because of the appearance of this lifetime adversary.”
“The reason for my awakening is to confront him.”
Li Chonghuan said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ji Dang was slightly puzzled, “Have you made some deal with him? How could you lose so completely?”
“It shouldn’t be like this. Traditionally, the successors of your Immortal Court are supposed to be slightly more powerful than ours of Da Yan.”
“After all, you select one only every seven or eight hundred years.”
“It seems that we need to rely on wit rather than force.”
Li Chonghuan left the grand hall, looked westward for ten breaths, and then departed.
After Li Chonghuan had left, Ji Dang slowly said, “Is it a monk or someone from the Demon Clan?”
After pondering for a while, he said, “Someone, send a message to the Dragon Palace. Tell them I will be visiting the Biyou Dragon Girl soon.”
“To contend with the Jiguang Sect, it’s necessary to involve the dragon clan.”
“Just thrashed by them three hundred years ago, how could I not seek revenge?”
After saying this, he turned and walked into the depths of the palace library. Upon entering, he saw a young girl in blue flipping through historical pages.
Ji Ru looked up, her gaze caught by his.
Ji Dang was not in the mood for play with the younger generation and simply asked, “Where did you put the ‘Spring and Autumn Annals’?”
