Breakthrough.
What she desired were strokes of luck and moments of profound comprehension.
Comprehension held the key to a breakthrough; without it, one would remain tethered to their current cultivation level.
The Paragon Martial G.o.d who had previously caused trouble in the Shenyou Dynasty faced a similar situation. Despite reaching the level of Paragon Martial G.o.d long ago, he had never achieved the necessary comprehension.
The path to breaking through was undoubtedly formidable.
In the Imperial Study Room of the Baizhou Land Palace, the King of Baizhou Land summoned several high-ranking military ministers.
Upon witnessing Xu Xunnan’s formidable cultivation level and comprehending Jinwei Land’s new policy, the King of Baizhou Land was initially taken aback. This astonishment soon gave way to a profound sense of impending danger.
If he didn’t act swiftly, Baizhou Land would confront a major crisis within three short years.
Hence, a critical decision had to be made without delay.
“I’m sure you’ve all been informed about Jinwei Land,” the King of Baizhou Land addressed the kneeling ministers with solemnity.
The members of the Grand Council exchanged glances, somewhat uncertain of whether the King’s demeanor was due to anger or some other reason.
“Your Majesty, we are perplexed by Jinwei Land’s recent actions. Not only have they sent women to humiliate us, but they’ve also issued peculiar decrees. We are unsure if the Emperor of Jinwei Land is acting irrationally. With careful planning, we can certainly contend with them. There’s no need for alarm,” one of the ministers ventured to speak.
The others quickly agreed. “Yes.”
The King of Baizhou Land gazed at the a.s.sembled ministers, disappointment etched on his face. What had started as frustration had now transformed into anger.
These Grand Council ministers were typically highly regarded by him. They were responsible
for managing all political affairs within Baizhou Land. Yet, he had not antic.i.p.ated that their perspectives would be so limited, lacking a broader vision.
How could he lead the country with advisers like these?
The King of Baizhou Land felt an intense surge of emotions, and most of them were marked by displeasure.
“Who gave you permission to voice such opinions?” The King of Baizhou Land’s tone was stern. “Our national strength in Baizhou Land is inferior to that of Jinwei Land. Have you considered the implications of the peculiar decree issued by Jinwei Land? Have you witnessed the power of those women? How many of our Baizhou Land’s guards have been unable to subdue them? If a single woman possesses such strength, what sort of threat will Jinwei Land pose to Baizhou Land when thousands of women embark on cultivation?”
“As Jinwei Land progressively bolsters its strength, what should our response be, if you even have one?”
“You, as Grand Council ministers, appear entirely oblivious to the looming peril. What are you thinking? You resemble charlatans from the market!” The King of Baizhou Land castigated them harshly, his dissatisfaction with them evident.
The Grand Council ministers were taken aback by the reprimand.
It took them a while to react.
In their anxiety, they knelt down and implored, “Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
“Women are useless and ill-fated. Allowing them to cultivate? It will bring calamity upon us!”
These Grand Council ministers cried out in distress.
The King of Baizhou Land scoffed, “Very well, in that case, when Jinwei Land eventually subjugates us, you can go to the battlefield single-handedly, as a pair.”
“This…” The Grand Council Minister looked troubled. He was a minister of literature. Not to mention being used by two people, even if he was used by one person, he would be at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
