Chapter 487: Undercurrent
Zhou Feng took Luo Qiu’s place for the rest of the day.
He began to work and rest every day.
Apart from work, he was constantly forging a doc.u.ment, one that could prove his reasonable ident.i.ty.
The longer he stayed in the Sky Kingdom, the more familiar he became with it.
How should he put it?
!!
Although the kingdom was ruled by cultivators, it was unexpectedly advanced in all aspects.
Although discrimination existed, every citizen could survive.
The Sky Kingdom had actually established a special relief department.
If one was really starving, they could receive three servings of food every day.
Moreover, the Sky Kingdom did not allow tramps and beggars to appear here.
If you did not have a job or a.s.sets, there was a high probability that you would be dragged away by the recruitment department and become a soldier of the Sky Kingdom.
That’s right!
Although the Sky Kingdom’s name sounded impressive, it was only a small country at the border of the Eastern Land.
At the same time, it was at war with two other countries, competing for various cultivation resources.
Perhaps because of this reason, the Sky Kingdom placed great importance on human resources.
Every citizen of the Sky Kingdom was a resource. It was shameful to waste them at will, and it was weakening the Sky Kingdom’s war potential.
That was why there was a minimum guarantee plan.
This was completely different from the Tri-Gu Sect.
No one could be killed at will.
Even cultivators were the same. Although cultivators had all kinds of privileges, they could not kill any civilians at will. Even if they were convicted of a serious crime, they would still need to be judged by the imperial court.
The outcome of the trial was likely to be a recruitment.
“Moreover, it seems that the Sky royal clan can create an ascending pa.s.sage?”
After a few days of investigation, Zhou Feng faintly discovered that the Sky royal clan had created an ascending pathway.
For ordinary people, as long as they were strong enough and had great potential, they could climb up through the path of the Military Ministry bit by bit.
Nurture! Invest? Once these proved their potential, they would float like flying snow.
Currently, there was a commoner in the Sky Kingdom who had succeeded, becoming one of the five great generals of the Military Ministry.
He had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. Although he was a little cold compared to the other four great generals, he was still an inspirational figure.
“This kind of ruling method… and this kind of atmosphere…”
Zhou Feng once again revealed a fake smile and rejected the person who had invited him.
The initial preparations were almost done.
As long as he wanted to, he would soon be able to join Princess Ming’s Estate with a new ident.i.ty.
After a few days of investigation, Zhou Feng also found that joining Princess Ming’s Estate might be a good choice.
Princess Ming’s Estate had just been established, so it was in the early stages of development.
As long as he revealed a little of his potential, there was a high chance that he would be heavily nurtured.
The Sun-Swallowing Roc’s bloodline was also transplanted very smoothly.
The only troublesome possibility was that once he wanted to restore his original Human Emperor bloodline, his entire body might need to be reconstructed again.
After all the preparations were done, Zhou Feng asked the AI, “Has Luo Qiu’s daily behavior simulation been completed?”
In order to prevent anyone from finding out that something had happened to Luo Qiu, he had put in a lot of effort. Not only had he used Luo Qiu’s flesh and blood to refine a special dao soldier, but he also wanted the AI to think of a way to mimic him.
What Zhou Feng needed was an AI program to let this newly refined dao soldier replace Luo Qiu.
And he would complete Luo Qiu’s tasks and work every day.
For this reason, he had been cutting off Luo Qiu’s social connections.
After that, he would find a way to let Luo Qiu die an unnatural death. Then, there would be no evidence to prove anything.
It could be said that in order to settle down safely in this unfamiliar place, Zhou Feng had made many arrangements.
“Very good!”
After receiving the AI’s feedback, he felt that everything was ready, and only the east wind was needed.
Princess Ming’s Estate…
Although it was newly built, just by standing at the entrance, one could feel an imposing aura.
There were two Purple Mansion guards standing guard outside the door.
At that moment, Zhou Feng appeared with a smile on his face.
As for why he was smiling, this was because Zhou Feng wanted to hide his original personality and habits.
In addition, he wanted to leave a deep impression on others. This time, he was prepared to take the high-profile route.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened, he would continue to smile like this.
“h.e.l.lo!”
Getting straight to the point, Zhou Feng took out a letter.
He showed the guards his intention of coming here.
Princess Ming’s Estate was constantly recruiting talented people recently. People like Zhou Feng were not rare.
Thus, the two guards just read the letter and directly brought Zhou Feng into Princess Ming’s Estate.
If there were no accidents, there would be a chance to test the bloodline and have a compet.i.tion.
Princess Ming had just come of age and was approved to build a mansion. Naturally, she had to form a team.
Everything was as Zhou Feng had expected.
He had not wasted these past few days.
Under very limited conditions, Zhou Feng investigated Princess Ming’s Estate.
Soon, he came to an empty s.p.a.ce.
There were already many people gathered here.
And just like Zhou Feng, these people were all recommended here through various channels.
“Next is the bloodline test! All you need to do is to drop a drop of blood on this rock!”
Chaner casually glanced at Zhou Feng, who had just arrived, and emphasized once more.
“As for those whose bloodline apt.i.tude isn’t high enough, there won’t be any actual combat matches soon!”
The conditions for Princess Ming’s Estate to select a group of people were very simple. One was that they had to have a good apt.i.tude, and the other was that they could fight.
No matter what, they had to at least have something eye-catching.
Only then could they enter Princess Ming’s Estate.
But unfortunately, although many people came to join Princess Ming’s Estate during this period, there were very few who had real potential.
After all, everyone was more inclined toward the imperial court than the newly established Princess Ming’s Estate.
Or rather, they were Princess Ming’s two younger brothers.
Although the fight for the throne seemed to be out of reach, it was better to fight for it as soon as possible.
In the Sky Kingdom, the position of the successor did not differentiate between men and women.
As long as one was strong and had high military capabilities, they could become the first successor to the throne.
On the surface, Princess Ming had a huge advantage. Not only was she old and talented enough, but she had also opened a mansion and formed her own team.
But the bad thing was that Princess Ming did not have the support of her mother’s side.
And the remaining two princes had the support of a powerful clan.
Princess Ming even had to rely on the royal clan for her cultivation resources. She did not have any extra resources to train her team.
Therefore, it was normal for no geniuses to come here.
Now that the compet.i.tion for the next Sky Emperor was gradually becoming clear, it was time to start betting.
After all, the current Sky Emperor couldn’t give birth to any more children.
As a Dao Enlightenment expert, it was difficult for the Sky Emperor to give birth to any children.
It was already thanks to the earth’s essence that his wife was able to give birth to two princes this time.
Therefore, the heir to the throne would be Princess Ming or one of the two princes.
In order to prevent Princess Ming from s.n.a.t.c.hing too many opportunities, the forces behind the other two princes were even secretly playing tricks and intercepting the geniuses heading to Princess Ming’s Estate.
