Hearing Han Xu Yang’s words.

Yun Yi, in his astonishment, instinctively shielded Han Xu Yang directly...

He truly did not expect that this young man, who seemed so handsome and gentle, could have such formidable battle achievements.

Especially considering he allowed this person to be so close to Your Majesty.

For a moment, the heart that had been barren for many years began to beat violently.

His entire body was tense, and for the first time, he felt a rare touch of nervousness...

"Alright, Yun Qing, there’s no need to be overly concerned. Xu Qing is like a nephew to me, I trust him completely."

Han Xu Yang waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Han Xu Yang say this, Yun Yi knew that Your Majesty would not joke with his own life, so he nodded and retreated.

However, his heart instantly tightened even more, as he gazed at Xu Lingjun in shock, exclaiming, "So, Commander in Chief Xu... that Technique Uther spoke of, which could aid a Creation Realm Grandmaster in breaking free, is truly in your hands?!"

Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "I have indeed created a new path different from the current Martial Tao, and by relying on this path, I have attained power not inferior to the Creation Realm in the Guiyuan Realm. In fact, my Qisha Legion currently has around forty-seven people who have successfully broken through from the Profound Realm to the Guiyuan Realm, whereas originally, their journey’s end was the Profound Realm!"

He continued, "I have named this system Cultivation!"

Yun Yi exclaimed in shock, "Is it... the miraculous way of directly absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body and using it for oneself?!"

Clearly, he had seen Xu Lingjun’s Dragon Gate Examination paper back then.

Xu Lingjun nodded.

Yun Yi further asked, "Is this Cultivation Technique truly so miraculous that it can enable a Creation Realm Grandmaster to... break through constraints?!"

"That I am not sure about."

Xu Lingjun replied, "Uther concluded that this Cultivation Technique could help him break free after our encounter, but since I’m not in the Creation Realm, I cannot be certain."

"Commander in Chief..."

Yun Yi finally understood why his nephew Yun Che unhesitatingly entrusted him with the duty of protecting Your Majesty, then joined the Qisha Legion...

That brat said he admired Commander in Chief Xu’s personal charisma, and was willing to serve under him as a humble soldier.

That little rascal was setting him up here.

No wonder when asked for the real reason, he refused to tell... if he indeed had, then perhaps the one staying behind to protect Your Majesty would still be him, and he would have joined the Qisha Legion instead.

Yun Yi couldn’t help but breathe rapidly and said, "Commander in Chief, may I ask if the entire Qisha Legion has already cultivated this Cultivation Technique?"

Xu Lingjun nodded and said, "Some have not yet cultivated because their strength has not reached the Profound Realm... Currently, they are striving to cultivate the Cultivation Technique."

Can one cultivate it in the Profound Realm?

Are those in the Qisha Legion too fortunate?

Yun Yi concernedly asked, "Commander in Chief, may I ask when the Qisha Legion will recruit new soldiers? Is there an age limit... I’m already one hundred and thirty-two years old, so I shouldn’t be considered too old..."

"Enough, Yun Qing, why not have your entire Yun Clan join the Qisha Legion."

Han Xu Yang rolled his eyes and said, "Seeing Xu Qing once costs me a capable assistant, hence I’m really hesitant to summon him again."

Xu Lingjun also smiled and said, "Mr. Yun, don’t worry, this Cultivation Technique isn’t as precious as you think. In fact, I plan to make it widely available so that everyone in the Great Xia Empire can read and cultivate, if Mr. Yun is interested in the Cultivation Technique, I would be willing to discuss it with you, and see if this Cultivation Technique can indeed assist the Creation Grandmaster."

Yun Yi rejoiced, "Thank you, Commander in Chief Xu!"

Han Xu Yang knocked on the table and said, "Elder Yun, have you finished speaking? If so, may I discuss official matters with Xu Qing..."

"Ah... hahaha, see, I’ve been too eager."

Yun Yi chuckled a few times, stepping back two paces...

Still staring intently at Xu Lingjun, yet unwilling to retire behind the scenes.

Han Xu Yang noticed the usually indifferent Yun Yi looking like a child forbidden by parents to eat candy, couldn’t help but laugh, sighing, "Alright, let’s make this quick."

He asked, "Xu Qing, what do you think about this situation?!"

Xu Lingjun replied seriously, "The Baoxue Empire must not be allowed to remain!"

He stated, "Just like you said before, Your Majesty, although Anduin is as cunning as a fox, he possessed the bottom line of a king. Everything he did was to make the Baoxue Empire stronger. The so-called sacrifices were for greater gains, so his moves were predictable. However, now he’s dead, and King Laine is nothing more than a puppet. Currently, the true ruler of the Baoxue Empire is Uther, who has gone mad in his quest for my Cultivation Technique!"

"On this point, I can testify!"

Yun Yi sighed, "Reaching the Creation Realm solidifies one’s strength completely, Your Majesty, you cannot understand that feeling... decades of arduous cultivation, finally breaking through the most challenging barrier of life, only to find no path forward, and the more diligently one practiced before, the emptier one feels after the breakthrough because cultivation has already been engraved in our bones, yet we have to forcibly change it."
