Chapter 444 Feng Wutong meets with Jiang Pingle to request help.
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty the Empress. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
After learning the results of the investigation, Feng Wutong pondered for a while before meeting with Jiang Pingle.
"Princess Feng, please excuse the formalities and have a seat!"
Jiang Pingle no longer gives people the same lively and naive feeling as before.
She now gives off a dignified and elegant feeling, and the aura she exudes is extremely intimidating.
It makes people afraid to look directly at him.
"Thank you, Queen."
Only then did Feng Wutong dare to get up and sit down in her seat some distance away.
In fact, at the beginning, Feng Wutong didn't care much about Empress Jiang Pingle.
After all, Jiang Pingle's background was far weaker than hers.
However, after entering the palace, she was reprimanded several times by Jiang Pingle according to the rules, and finally dared not act arrogantly in front of Jiang Pingle.
She still remembers the sight of the twenty-odd laws surrounding Jiang Pingle.
She was startled; she hadn't expected that Empress Jiang Pingle had comprehended so many principles.
However, what she didn't know was that Jiang Pingle often practiced dual cultivation with Qin Wu, and Qin Wu would often personally impart his understanding of the laws to her, as well as provide her with a vast amount of cultivation resources.
He also received a large amount of merit, which allowed Jiang Pingle to surpass him in cultivation.
This time, Jiang Pingle once again gained a large amount of Great Dao merit, which further propelled his cultivation to the Immortal Emperor realm.
This allowed Jiang Pingle to comprehend the laws of space.
What brings you here?
Jiang Pingle's voice rang out without any emotion.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask for your guidance on how to obtain the Great Dao Merit like the Eighth Royal Family. To be honest, the current situation of our Phoenix Clan is not as glorious as the rumors suggest. Our fortune is constantly dwindling, albeit at a very slow pace. However, if this continues, our Phoenix Clan will not be able to withstand it. We urgently need the Great Dao Merit to stabilize the situation. If possible, I would be grateful for Your Majesty's guidance."
Feng Wutong made no attempt to hide anything.
This was a decision she made after careful consideration.
She knew very well that if they continued to hide it, their Phoenix Clan didn't know when they would be able to obtain the method of luck and domain fusion.
If this goes on for too long, the Phoenix Clan's fortune will be lost more and more, which will be completely detrimental to the Phoenix Clan's development.
It would be better to just bring up the issue of the Phoenix Clan directly.
After hearing Feng Wutong's words, Jiang Pingle put down the teacup he had just picked up and looked at Feng Wutong.
This was a secret of the Phoenix Clan, and she never expected that Feng Wutong would reveal it so directly.
She had also heard Qin Wu say that the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan had allied with them for other purposes, but she never expected it to be related to fate.
But why come to her instead of His Majesty for something so important?
Actually, it wasn't that Feng Wutong didn't want to go find Qin Wu, but rather that Qin Wu was in seclusion and she couldn't see him at all.
They had no choice but to settle for second best and come to see Empress Jiang Pingle.
I hope to get her help. Even if Jiang Pingle doesn't know, as long as she is willing to help, even if Empress Jiang Pingle can't solve the problem, she can still help her inform Emperor Shenwu of this news.
When the time comes, their problem will be easily solved as long as Qin Wu is willing.
"This matter is not something I can decide. You should go and find His Majesty! Besides, only His Majesty can resolve this matter."
Jiang Pingle didn't respond; she was well aware of Feng Wutong's ulterior motives.
Of course, it wasn't that she really couldn't solve it; she had already learned about the Great Dao Merit from Qin Wu.
However, she would absolutely not do something so important without Qin Wu's approval.
After all, the merits of the Great Way are extremely rare, and the more people who share them, the less good it is for them.
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty. His Majesty is currently in seclusion, and I am unable to see him. If Your Majesty is willing to help, I will follow Your Majesty's lead from now on. When Your Majesty goes out, I will be your mount and at your beck and call."
Upon hearing Jiang Pingle's refusal, Feng Wutong knelt down again.
There's no other way; the Phoenix Clan's fortune is dwindling faster and faster. If the situation remains unstable, they won't be able to hold out for more than a few eras.
Moreover, not long ago, several members of the Phoenix Clan sent word that they needed to go into slumber to suppress their destiny.
From now on, anyone who breaks through to the peak of the Demon Emperor realm must enter the forbidden area to slumber and suppress their destiny.
It is clear that the Phoenix Clan is now in a critical situation; otherwise, Emperor Yun would not have sacrificed himself to suppress the fortune and slow down its loss.
Moreover, it is still impossible to completely suppress the loss of fortune.
If it's a short period of time, it's fine, but if it's a long period of time, their true strength will remain hidden for an extended period.
Someone will always notice something is wrong.
The major divine beast races of the demon race have been keeping a close eye on the dragon and phoenix races.
Once they discover this, they will absolutely not let go of the opportunity to seize the Phoenix Domain from the Phoenix Clan.
After all, the Phoenix Clan is not invincible.
The Peng Clan, Xuanwu Clan, Baihu Clan, and Yuanhou Clan—none of these divine beast clans are not constantly trying to seize the Phoenix Domain from them.
Once the Phoenix Clan falls, they will show absolutely no mercy.
This applies not only to these mythical beast races, but also to the demon race, the Buddhist realm, and the immortal lineage.
No power would not want to possess a superior domain that belongs exclusively to its own race.
Jiang Pingle never expected that the dignified patriarch of the Phoenix Clan would do such a thing for the sake of his clan.
He was actually willing to be her mount, which completely abandoned the proud dignity of a divine beast.
She couldn't help but wonder if the Phoenix Clan's situation had really deteriorated to such an extent.
If the Phoenix Clan is like this, is the Dragon Clan also like this?
Even so, she was still not prepared to agree. Although she also wanted a phoenix mount, it concerned His Majesty's interests, and she would never make a decision on her own.
"I reiterate, I cannot make this decision. You can wait until His Majesty emerges from seclusion before making a request to him."
Jiang Pingle refused outright.
Feng Wutong never expected that even after all she had done, the Empress would still refuse.
But then I thought about it again, and realized that for such a major matter, perhaps only His Majesty could make the decision in the entire dynasty.
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I have already sent word that I will be going into seclusion with His Majesty. We can discuss anything after His Majesty comes out of seclusion. You can pay your respects to the Consort in the future."
"Go back!"
Jiang Pingle interrupted Feng Wutong, who was about to speak.
"Yes, I will retire."
Seeing Jiang Pingle's resolute decision, Feng Wutong had no choice but to give up and take her leave.
After Feng Wutong withdrew, Jiang Pingle summoned Yu Ge and Yu Wu and instructed them to secretly investigate the Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan. She then entered the spatial turbulence and arrived at the Divine Martial Palace, where she began her seclusion with Qin Wu.
This time, it was Qin Wu who notified her to go into seclusion together.
Qin Wu wanted to use the merit he gained from this Great Dao to see if he could help Jiang Pingle comprehend the laws that matched the Emperor's laws.
This was also a feeling that Qin Wu had in the dark, a feeling that there was a law that matched the laws of the Emperor.
If Jiang Pingle can comprehend this, it may greatly benefit his future cultivation.
This will also greatly increase Jiang Pingle's strength.
