Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 611: Chapter 293: The Plight of the Royal Yan Family?_2

“And how can the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty establish a foothold here?”

“A tripartite balance of power?”

Upon saying this, Yan Buming, who had been sitting silently in the main seat, couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, then continued, “If we can establish a tripartite balance, that would indeed be wonderful, but if the Luo Family of Qingshi City and White Brahma Temple use the same tactics they employed against my Great Flame Dynasty and begin to swallow up the Imperial Feng Family of your Da Feng Dynasty bit by bit, what will the Imperial Feng Family of your Da Feng Dynasty do then?”

“Without the existence of my Great Flame Dynasty, you won’t even have a potential ally.”

…

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Great Flame Dynasty.

...

Within the great hall. @@novelbin@@

The mutterings of Yan Buming incessantly echoed in the ears of the mysterious black-clothed cultivator.

As for these words from Yan Buming,

the black-clothed cultivator simply bowed his head in silence, saying nothing.

After all, when dealing with someone of such a highly esteemed status like Yan Buming,

all he needed to abide by was to speak less and observe more.

…

As time elapsed.

After a while passed,

the slightly dimly lit great hall eventually quieted down.

Yan Buming, the reigning Emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty and steerer of the Royal Yan Family, who sat silently in the main seat,

gradually regained his composure.

With a calm expression, he looked at the black-clothed cultivator who was bowing his head in silence before him.

After thinking for a while,

he waved his hand and said in a low voice,

“You may withdraw for now, the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty’s territories is probably not a possibility anymore.”

“Next, try to communicate as much as possible with the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty. ”

“I believe the opportunity to break our deadlock will most likely lie with the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.”

Having said this,

Yan Buming fell silent once again.

It wasn’t until the black-clothed cultivator vanished from his sight that he sighed slowly, somewhat helplessly.

On his face, there surfaced a deep shade of helplessness.

At this moment, Yan Buming was silently contemplating within his heart.

Why had his Great Flame Dynasty, the Royal Yan Family,

falleн to such a state?

Why had it come to the point where they were nearly universally seen as enemies?

The Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty had chosen to stand by and watch.

All the smaller familial influences that had once attached themselves to his Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty went their separate ways as soon as his Royal Yan Family faced difficulties.

The Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty’s territories also kept an indifferent stance towards his Royal Yan Family.

Even the White Brahma Temple, known as one of the three major forces of the Demonic Path within the world of Buddhism,

had already launched a full-scale attack on his Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty.

When did his Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty fall to this extent?

Atop the main seat within the great hall,

Yan Buming involuntarily narrowed his eyes slightly.

After much thought, an answer gradually emerged in his heart.

Qingshi City Luo Family!!!

That’s right, it was the Luo Family of Qingshi City.

Ever since his side of the Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty came into contact with the Luo Family of Qingshi City, they had gradually been on the decline.

At present,

his Royal Yan Family of the Great Flame Dynasty was caught in a crisis where the dynasty could collapse and the family could fall at any moment.

“My son…”

With these thoughts,

for some reason, Yan Buming, the current Emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty,

began to envision a somewhat familiar yet somewhat blurred figure in front of him.

In fact, a long time ago,

Yan Buming had already considered abdicating in favor of someone wiser.

Back then, before his son Yan Zhi was discovered by the people of the Five Elements Immortal Sect and taken in by them,

he had already started to groom his son Yan Zhi as the next emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty.

Most likely, in a few more years,

when Yan Zhi grew more mature and stable, he would pass on the position of the current Emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty as well as the current Family Head of the Royal Yan Family to his son Yan Zhi.

And Yan Buming himself would go into seclusion to cultivate and train for a while.

Of course, even without cultivating.

He could still thoroughly enjoy life.

Having been the emperor for many years, he had to deal with the trivial matters of both the dynasty and the Luo Family every day.

Long ago, Yan Buming had already grown somewhat weary of it all.

However, due to some accidents.

His son, Yan Zhi, had joined the legendary Five Elements Immortal Sect.

And moreover, he had successfully become a disciple of a Supreme Elder within the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Thus, with no other choice,

Yan Buming could only continue to be the emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty.

Continue to be the Immortal Family Head of the Royal Yan Family.

Continue to be the helmsman.

If everything had gone smoothly, that would have been fine.

But now, the situation of the Royal Yan Family within the Great Flame Dynasty was gradually getting worse as time passed.

This made Yan Buming inevitably ponder silently in his heart.

If, back then, his son Yan Zhi had not joined the Five Elements Immortal Sect,

and had successfully taken over Yan Buming’s position, becoming the new emperor of the Great Flame Dynasty, the new helmsman of the Royal Yan Family…

Would the situation be any different from what it is now?

…

Sitting alone, in silent contemplation upon the principal seat.

Yan Buming thought for a long time.

In the end, he could only let out a helpless, bitter laugh and shake his head.

Things had already come to this.

Since these events had already happened,

pondering those ‘what-ifs’ was pointless.

Rather than silently contemplating here, wondering how things would have been if his son Yan Zhi had not entered the Five Elements Immortal Sect, but instead had succeeded in taking over his position,

it would be better to think about how,

given the current state of the Great Flame Dynasty, he could extricate the Great Flame Dynasty and the Royal Yan Family from their current predicament.

“The Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty presents an opportunity, but one can’t rely solely on the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.”

“The Ancestor has said that he will take action against the monks in the White Brahma Temple.”

“But the deaths of some Blood Refinement Realm monks from the White Brahma Temple seem to have little effect on the outcome of this war.”

“To carve out a path of survival for my Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family from such dire straits.”

“The difficulty involved…”

Yan Buming took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

The challenges involved in extricating the Great Flame Dynasty from its current predicament were naturally obvious.

…

Qingshi City, Luo Family Ancestral Land.

In a small courtyard that was always suffused with an aura of antiquity and mystery,

here sat Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family,

silently beneath a stone pavilion.

On the stone table was a cup of tea still emanating wafts of steam.

In his hands, he held an ancient piece of animal hide, intently gazing at the content inscribed upon it.

Yes, this piece of animal hide,

was the one that contained the methods for constructing a Tortoise Shell Hovering Boat.

This object had been acquired from that old Carefree Monk.

However, due to his previously low level of cultivation,

and the information engraved on this ancient piece of animal hide being too obscure and complex,

Luo Changfeng had always kept this ancient hide in his storage ring,

without really studying it thoroughly.

But now, things were different.

His cultivation level had now reached the Late Stage of Mortal Transcendence.

His realm in Artifact Refining had also reached a whole new level.

Moreover, with the advancement in cultivation,

his horizons had naturally broadened as well.

This expansion was not just limited to the territories near the Da Feng Dynasty,

resulting in Luo Changfeng’s increasingly strong yearning for those mystical modes of transportation found within the fantasy world.
