Capital.

Peaceful Mind Studio.

At this moment, the steamed bun shop across the street is not open for business, not because Old Zhang is slacking off, but because the Capital is currently under lockdown. How could he find any extra flour or raw meat to make steamed buns?

Of course, due to Liang Sheng’s advice beforehand, Old Zhang had hoarded a few supplies. Although he couldn’t do business, he had at least ensured his family’s food and clothing needs were met.

Old Zhang didn’t tell anyone about this. Given the current situation, revealing it would only bring trouble, as people’s intentions were hard to predict.

In these turbulent times, everyone needed to just mind their own business and survive, which was already quite a feat.

This was the case in the Dayan Capital, let alone other places. Emperor Kaiping’s body had returned to the Capital, but since the urgent matter at hand was to quell the rebellion, Ye Kai naturally wouldn’t be distracted by it.

Emperor Kaiping probably never imagined that the situation at his death would be so desolate, with a hasty burial and no grand show befitting a deceased emperor.

Under such circumstances, Ye Kai didn’t pretend to mourn and instead directly ascended the throne, with the new reign name of “Jianyuan.”

Ye Kai originally thought that his diligent governance would help stabilize the foundation of the Dayan Kingdom, but he never expected that in the short span of twenty years, the Dayan Dynasty had spiraled downward so irreversibly. Even with his great talents and strategies, he had no capable people under him and could only lament his powerlessness.

In the spring of the first year of Jianyuan, the southwestern part of Dayan completely fell out of the dynasty’s control, and the insurgent Lifeless Sect swept into Jiangnan.

In the autumn of Jianyuan’s first year, the whole of Jiangnan fell, the south united, and the Lifeless Sect’s rebels established a country, named the Great Ming.

In the spring of Jianyuan’s second year, the central plains were lost, and the decline of the Dayan Dynasty was inevitable. Local garrison troops in various places either deserted or surrendered on the spot.

The Lifeless Sect attracted ordinary people with the concept of a homeland without birth and death, refraining from massacring the cities they conquered. They even redistributed land, and it was precisely because of this that their momentum became irresistible, engulfing the entire Dayan Kingdom.

Whenever the Lifeless Sect rebels arrived at a place, local people eagerly welcomed them, causing the remaining territory of the Dayan Kingdom to be only in the north.

Capital

“Damn!”

Atop the Golden Hall, Emperor Jianyuan Ye Kai angrily threw the memorial on the ground, his face full of rage, as if he wanted to eat someone.

“A hundred thousand strong army. Even if it were a hundred thousand pigs, they would have to be slaughtered for days and nights. How on earth does that idiot Wu Chun wage war?”

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan Ye Kai vented his anger, causing the entire Golden Hall to be silent. Just then, another piece of bad news arrived from outside the hall.

“Report! Urgent news from 800 li away. The insurgent Lifeless Sect’s army has crossed the Yanhe River, and the entire Dayan Beijun has fallen into enemy hands.”

The next moment, Emperor Jianyuan slumped down in his seat.

Dayan was finished!

Once the rebels crossed the Yanhe River, they would be able to attack the Dayan Capital directly, leaving the Capital without any barriers to protect it. The various officials in the hall had different expressions, and seeing this, Emperor Jianyuan couldn’t help but laugh bitterly in his heart.

It seemed that Dayan was utterly beyond saving. Since people’s hearts had already been lost, there was no point in talking about a revival. If that was the case…

Thinking of this, Emperor Jianyuan didn’t wait for the eunuch to announce the end of the court session, instead directly exiting the Golden Hall. It was time for him to talk to that person.

After all, he was right. This world was beyond saving. Even though the dynasty’s name would no longer be Dayan after that, the world would still bear the Ye surname.

Moreover, according to what that person had said, if someone from their lineage was lucky enough to be chosen when they arrived thirteen years later, there would be no need to worry about this worldly power and influence.

Emperor Jianyuan’s sudden departure left the Golden Hall silent. However, after a brief moment of surprise, the officials orderly left the hall.

It was time for them to think about their families. This world, whoever it belonged to, couldn’t do without their powerful families…

Imperial Palace.

Grand Temple.

“You’ve come?”

Ye Kai had just entered the Grand Temple, and the old sect master of the Lifeless Sect had not even opened his eyes. Ye Kai silently looked at him, nodding slightly.

“I agree to your conditions, but how should 1 proceed?”

Seeing Ye Kai’s performance, the old sect master was not surprised at all, “There is no need to worry, when the capital is broken, you can leave. Have you thought of a name for your sect?”

“White Lotus Sect.”

“Good.”

In the second year of the Jianyuan era in summer, the Lifeless Sect attacked the Dayan capital, causing no harm to the civilians. That night, the nine provinces of Dayan were shaken, the fate of the Dayan Dynasty was shattered, and its allotted time had come to an end.

In and out of the palace in the capital, fighting continued incessantly. The Five Armies Commander’s Mansion, the Divine Machinist Camp, and the Imperial Army were engaged in a life-or-death struggle inside the palace. The Lifeless Sect rebels were fearless and relentlessly pushed forward.

However, Ye Chen, who led the elite forces of the Lifeless Sect, did not pursue at full speed because he needed to give Thirteenth Uncle time to tie up loose ends.

Before the Grand Temple, the old sect master of the Lifeless Sect took out the Nine Provinces Tripod in front of Ye Kai and explained a few things. Ye Kai finally understood everything.

“From now on, this will be the secret of your White Lotus Sect. If the Great Ming Dynasty ever encounters a day like this, you must do as the Lifeless Sect did today and let the world continue to be surnamed Ye.

Today, the Dayan’s fate has run out. The last wisp of the King’s aura within the Nine Provinces Tripod needs to be extracted by your last king.”

After Ye Kai extracted the last wisp of the King’s aura from the Nine Provinces Tripod according to the old sect master’s description, there seemed to be a wailing between heaven and earth. Everyone’s heart trembled for a moment, and then there was no more sensation, as if it was just an illusion.

Outside the royal palace, Ye Chen’s spirit was lifted, and everything was ready. He raised his arm and shouted, “Kill your way into the palace, and today, the Great Ming will become the rightful heir to the world.”

“Kill!”

Inside the Grand Temple, the old sect master saw that things were going smoothly and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. After that, his lineage would become the legitimate lineage of the dynasty and establish the Great Ming.

But at this moment, Qin Gang outside the door shouted loudly. The old sect master’s heart tightened, and before he could react, a white-haired man appeared in front of them, reaching out for the Nine Provinces Tripod with both hands.

This man was none other than Liang Sheng, who had changed his appearance. He had been waiting for this opportunity for two years since he returned from Mount Kunwu.

As a result of his hard work and patience, he finally caught the moment when the old dynasty of the Nine Provinces Tripod was dead, and the new king had not yet risen, so seizing the tripod would not be contaminated by cause and effect.

At this time, the old sect master also realized what was happening and tried to stop Liang Sheng. However, Liang Sheng merely slapped him back effortlessly. The old sect master was struck by the blow, and as if he had been hit by lightning, he could not speak a word, leaving only an angry glare in his eyes before he died.

He didn’t even have time to tell Ye Kai all the secrets of the Ye Family, including the matter of the Nine Provinces Tripod, and he died with unresolved grievances.

Seeing this, Ye Kai was filled with grief and horror. The old sect master was an Innate Master, but he had been killed so easily. Who could the other party be?

Thinking of this, Ye Kai hurriedly retreated. Just then, Qin Gang, who had been keeping guard outside the Grand Temple, rushed in with a small sword in his hand. However, by this time, Liang Sheng had already lifted the Nine Provinces Tripod, preparing to leave.

Seeing this, Qin Gang, in his haste, spat a mouthful of essence blood onto his small sword, and a horrifying aura enveloped the entire Grand Temple.

But this time, Liang Sheng did not dodge the attack. According to the records of Mount Kunwu, this was nothing more than a half artifact that absorbed the essence blood and consumed the lifespan of its owner, thereby doubling its power. Prince Ping’an and Xuan Kong had died by this sword.

But Liang Sheng, who had broken through the twelfth level of the Golden Dragon Technique, was still in the Innate Realm. He faced the sword without panicking and blocked it with one move.

How is this possible!?

Upon seeing this, Ye Kai and Qin Gang could not help but be at a loss. However, Liang Sheng did not linger after blocking this sword and directly attacked with full force. Qin Gang, as an Innate Master, could not even react and fell immediately.

Below the path of cultivation, I am invincible!

Liang Sheng then reached out with his left hand to seize the small sword, and holding the Nine Provinces Tripod, he quickly left the palace. The two sides fighting outside had not yet comprehended what was happening when Liang Sheng completely disappeared into the night.

Only Ye Kai was left in the Grand Temple, staring blankly at the two corpses on the ground, shivering all over. These were two Innate Grandmasters, who had died so easily. Who was the other party?

The mysterious white-haired old man had the power of a god, Ye Kai and Ye Chen dared not delve too deeply and could only wait for the arrival of someone from the other side thirteen years later to inquire.

Afterward, the Dayan Dynasty perished, and the Great Ming was established. However, in the shadows, the White Lotus Sect was born in response to the circumstances, dependent on each other.

As for the lost Nine Provinces Tripod, it became an unsolved mystery, and the Great Ming Dynasty could only recast the Mountain River Tripod to suppress the mountains and rivers!
