Bai Xiaochun did not say anything. He sat there on his throne staring at the Grand Heavenmaster, a faint smile on his face that contained a hint of approval.
Bai Xiaochun did not always have this skill. He had learned it from Saint-Emperor. In fact, Bai Xiaochun was a very fast learner, something that had given him many benefits in his life. Whenever he meets someone who stands out from him in some way, he will emulate their personality or behavioural side.
Of course, he would not sit idly there if he were to deal with the Giant Ghost King, or anyone else close to him. But this was the Grand Heavenmaster, an ambitious and ruthless political teacher. Although he had come to offer help on his own initiative, Bai Xiaochun knew that a strong cultivation base alone would not be enough to keep him in check.
And thus, he subconsciously imitated Saint-Emperor, smiling warmly and encouragingly.
When the Grand Heavenmaster saw that, he also smiled. It was a sincere smile, supported by an emotional. Previously, he had committed to his plan, but now he was completely convinced that this was the right thing to do. Just like the Giant Ghost King, he really felt that Bai Xiaochun had grown up.
However, as soon as the thought entered his head, he realized that it was inappropriate. Although he and Bai Xiaochun would not have a formal political relationship, there was still a need to maintain decency. If he had always thought of Bai Xiaochun as a grown-up child, then one day it could have caused a great disaster.
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the only thing they held was a deep and sincere respect. Clasping his hands, he bowed to Bai Xiaochun, and then continued speaking.
“Heavenly, the way to solve the first problem, the key to building a strong foundation, is actually very simple. Whether it's to win the hearts of the people, or achieve a political position, I can help you do it very easily." From the way the Grand Heavenmaster spoke, and from the intelligent gleam in his eyes, it seemed like he was completely certain he could do as he said.
“The simplest method is to invoke your authority as an angel to issue a decree stating that every government official is in the second perpetual domain, from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Demigod Realm, and from, they will get their salary doubled. And the fee will be paid by the capital!
“If Aged Spirit refuses to agree, then it will arouse public anger. If he agrees, then your reputation will improve. He would have trouble deciding what to do. After all, the money is not actually yours, Celestial, you will just send it. ”
When Bai Xiaochun heard this, his eyes shone. It was clearly a cruel move. He could use other people's money to win people's hearts, and give his opponent an unsolved dilemma. It seemed that the plan was as vicious as his smear campaign.
“It has been said, Heavenly, I feel that setting up a foundation here actually has little value. With the Heavenly Aged Spirit so close, no matter what kind of advantage you obtain, the Aged Spirit can always find a way to bypass the law and attack you directly.
“Thank God, your cultivation base gives you protection against small plots and schemes. And that is also one of your greatest strengths.
“Therefore, I'd like to ask you to consider carefully what you want to do. Our real goal is not just to build a foundation here. We want to leverage your position to make plans for the future. We want to secure something truly beneficial, for example .. the northern part of this immortal territory, which now no longer belongs to the Saint-Emperor Dynasty …. " At this point, he looked at Bai Xiaochun meaningfully.
Bai Xiaochun thought of the vague words that the Grand Heavenmaster had just spoken, but after a while, still did not understand completely. However, he earned the point that their true destination should be .. north!
"Get more than just titular power" he said.
The Grand Heavenmaster smiled and bowed to Bai Xiaochun again.
“Before going into more details, allow me to solve the second problem I mentioned earlier. Due to the interference of the two imperial dynasties, there was only one way to prevent the people of Heavenspan from assimilating. And that is to achieve ... independence!
"That's all we need. We do not even need to ask for the same division of the Eternal Land with another dynasty. We just need a place for the Heavenspan people to gather.
“However, if you show just a little hint of having that goal, Heavenly, it will bring about a definite disaster! Sadly, every day that passes where we do not have our independence, the weaker our position!
“So, to go back to talking about the first problem, if you can solve it, Celestial, then we will make great progress. At that point, we can easily do something to build our independence!
“Furthermore, in order to avoid Saint-Emperor's suspicions, I believe that we must fight, not for political independence, but rather!
“In terms of the third problem I mentioned, in the world we live in, respect is given to the strong. If one day you can be an archaean, then all of our problems will be much easier to solve. Therefore, I want to wait for that day to really make our move. Once you are an archaean, then you will have the power you need to succeed! " With that, the Grand Heavenmaster took a few steps back, clasped his hands, and bowed.
"Heavenly, if you agree to my plan, then please appoint me as the vice teacher in Plumflower Prefecture! Of all the eleven prefectures controlled by the Saint-Emperor Dynasty, Plumflower Prefecture was closest to the north, and also the prefecture was best suited to act as a buffer between the two existing dynasties!
“It was like a bridge, a prefecture from which troops could easily march north if necessary! I've done a thorough analysis of the gods under the prefectural command there, and I'm sure how to work with them. In three months ... the prefecture would only belong to the Saint-Emperor Dynasty. We'll be the ones who really control it! ” Grand Heavenmaster looked completely and very confident in his plan.
A strange expression could be seen on Bai Xiaochun's face. Although most of what the Grand Heavenmaster said was reasonable, the latter part seemed to be the most credible. After all, when it came to taking control and manipulating the puppet ruler, then if the Grand Heavenmaster was called the second best in the Eternal Immortal Domains, there would be no one occupying the first place.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Xiaochun nodded and said, "Let's do it!"
As he did so, the Grand Heavenmaster smiled and rose from his bow. Furthermore, Bai Xiaochun summoned his authority as a celestial to make the necessary arrangements for the Grand Heavenmaster. Previously, it wouldn't have been easy, but right now, the gods in the capital were afraid of Bai Xiaochun, and all were afraid of offending him. Therefore, all his demands were quickly met.
Surprisingly, the Celestial Age Spirits did not interfere as well. Apparently, he was waiting for the right moment to do his own fatal blow.
A few days later, the Grand Heavenmaster obtained his official appointment, and left the capital to Plumflower Prefecture. Before leaving, he offered Bai Xiaochun some advice based on speculation about what the Celestial Age Spirit would do.
Bai Xiaochun considered the suggestion, and after the Grand Heavenmaster left, decided that he could not sit still. Clenching his hands, he said, “I can't let that Heavenly Age Spirit sit around waiting to make a move. I need to force him to come to a compromise! "
After making a decision, he took action. The first thing he did was follow up with the evil plan that the Grand Heavenmaster had made.
He was a celestial, so even though he didn't really have his own direct subordinates, it wasn't a difficult thing to have news of something spreading. Before long, everyone in the second immortal domain spoke of the same rumors.
"Did you hear? King Heavenspan suggested that all cultivators in the second immortal region have his salary doubled !! ”
"Paradise! That meant spending in the second immortal domain would skyrocket! There is no way a Heavenly Aged Spirit would approve of that, right !? ”
"If this happens, I will definitely give my gratitude to King Heavenspan personally !!"
Talk spreads so fast that it feels like a hurricane. Some people tried to suppress it, but it turned out to be impossible.
Anyone who tries to quell the rumor becomes a suspect …. After all, it was a matter that would benefit everyone involved!
The gods in the capital were quite worried. But this was an even more cruel move than the matter with Marquis Zi Lin, and therefore none of them dared to do anything.
When the Celestial Spirit Aged heard the news, his anger burned, and he almost exploded into rage. Just as the Grand Heavenmaster had predicted, the Aged Spirit would come out at the bottom whether he agreed to the matter or not!
"Damn it Bai Xiaochun !!"
When it came time for the next official government meeting in the capital, Bai Xiaochun calmly proposed the matter publicly!
