Chapter 983: Chapter 983

However, this Silver Lake is considered a resource, just particularly difficult to exploit.

Let's first set up a project for Yang to see how to make use of the Silver Lake resource.

"Yang, there's something about the Silver Lake resource. Could you spare some time to think about how to utilize it?"

Yang slightly curled his lips, which was considered an agreement.

Of course, he understood what Yu Ziqing was thinking, no wonder the old Zhang from Dadui and the others were so loyal to this Emperor Dui who visited once in ten years, and no one dared to mention the decision made years ago, a decision out of necessity to some extent.

Before he came back, Zhang invited him to taste a new brew and casually mentioned it.

He said once Dadui returned, there would be a marriage arrangement for this Emperor Dui.

Although he only mentioned it briefly and did not elaborate, it was because Dadui had not yet returned, and nothing was settled; bringing it up now was too early and of no use.

After all, cultivators live long lives. With Yu Ziqing's age and potential, he could conservatively live for a few more thousand years.

But Zhang's attitude represented that of the seven members of the cabinet and those below.

Saying some things directly could seem like flattery and sycophancy.

Yet, according to Dadui's traditions and customs, the recognition level of the courtiers for a new emperor is linked to the matter of choosing a consort for the new emperor.

Establishing a Crown Prince appeared too blunt, while establishing a consort was much more subtle.

After all, children born of the consort might not necessarily ascend the throne in the future.

Not only the Three Divine Dynasties but also Dadui was ; the larger environment determined that they could not insist on appointing the eldest but only the worthy. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍

Among the emperors of the Three Divine Dynasties and Dadui, those who officially succeeded as the eldest son were pitifully few.

Dali even appointed a woman as Crown Prince without much upheaval.

If it weren't for this long-standing environment, Yu Ziqing wouldn't have so easily taken control of the Dadui's Jade Seal.

If placed in Yu Ziqing's past life, this would not be called succession but regime change.

Zhang feared that Yu Ziqing, visiting only once in ten years, had too little personal interaction and shallow emotions, did not dare to hastily press him for marriage.

It was under Yang's subtle urging that laid the groundwork first.

Yang, not being naive, understood these intricacies.

In Yang's heart, Yu Ziqing was first their Jinlan person, then the Emperor Dui.

Similarly, Yang knew he was first a Jinlan Mountain person before having studied at Langya Institute.

He harbored deep resentment against some at Langya Institute, but he still had intimate friends there, his place of study and research for half his life, and his teachers were standard Langya Institute Dao cultivators.

If not for this relationship, with Yu Ziqing trying to incite upheaval, best to keep it stormy, he wouldn't have intervened to quickly restrain it.

He quite supported Cheng Jing's philosophy, skinning to cleanse toxic, the temporary pain is better than letting the poison linger for ages.

He did not support outright eliminating someone just because they had some poisonous sore, thinking the poison would disappear.

So, after Zhang mentioned it to him, Yang had some other thoughts.

See among those old friends and confidants at Langya Institute, if there's a family with a female cultivator of nimble wit, extraordinary talent, and good character for Yu Ziqing to marry.

However, once this idea emerged, he felt a bit helpless.

He simply couldn't remember anyone.

Indulged in Dao cultivation, immersed in knowledge, unable to extricate himself, he had few private friendships in Langya Institute and knew even less.

Except for the Dean, he couldn't even call out the names of many beneath the Dean.

Upon this thought, he decided to let it be, go with the flow.

Having transformed into the third form, there wasn't much of a security issue now, and he could take time to visit the Daqian Ancient Land.

Quietly visit a few old friends, confirm they're doing well.

These years, he dared not contact externally, only getting a few pieces of information from Yu Ziqing about Langya Institute.

Actually, he could guess roughly; his intimate friends likely not yet over his demise abroad, bones lost.

Especially Chu Ye, probably had tracked down something already.

Otherwise, wouldn't have so decisively gone into seclusion, decided to enter Dao.

At their realm, wanting to enter Dao was easily possible.

They were people of great aspirations back then, pursuing to establish a Dao upon entering Dao.

Contrary to external rumors that they were merely after post-Dao-entry maximizing potential to ensure smooth ascension to Ninth Tier.

For Dao cultivators, Dao cultivation was the focus; the benefits, strength, and realm gained after entering Dao were mere bonuses.

Some Dao cultivators entered Dao just to have sufficient realm, for easier research.

But now, the ambitions of those days, he couldn't fulfill; entering Dao was on a new path.

While Chu Ye evidently still had a chance to continue accumulating, yet gave it up, choosing to enter Dao.

Yang thought of this, calmed his mind, shook his head subtly, and his thoughts again turned into the fierce beast's appearance.

Though at his current realm and strength, appearance made no difference to his mind, having not transformed into human form for too long, suddenly doing so affected his emotions.

In the past, he didn't have so many miscellaneous thoughts.

While walking halfway, Yu Ziqing was startled by Yang's action.

"Is there a problem?"

Yu Ziqing hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked.

"Do you now prefer this alien species form?"

"Scram." Yang couldn't help but curse.

Seeing Yu Ziqing breathe a sigh of relief, Yang then said.

"Transforming into human form, suddenly there're many miscellaneous thoughts, unconsciously recalling the past.

Though not directly influenced by the appearance, it significantly affects regardless.
