039: The Terrifying Power of the Empress Across the Nine Provinces! (Please give flowers and add to your favorites)
"The so-called International Lantern Festival is a grand event convened by Her Majesty the Empress..."
"It's held every five years, lasts for half a month, and takes place on the Double Ninth Festival..."
"You should know that the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly a superpower in the Heluo region, stretching from the Yellow River in the east to Yunzhong in the west, from the wilderness in the north to the South China Sea in the south..."
"In the Heluo region, apart from the Tang Dynasty, the rest are all small countries."
"These countries come to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire every year, and the International Lantern Festival is no exception..."
"The vast land of China stretches for thousands of miles, its territory boundless, divided into nine provinces..."
"These are respectively Heluo, Jianmu, Zhulu, Northern Wilderness, Great River Basin, Sunset Sea, Cloud Desert, Three Kingdoms Land, East Wind Sea..."
"The Empress has already announced it to the world, and the invitations have long been sent out. At that time, sects or imperial families from the other eight states should also send people to come..."
"This is an unprecedented and unparalleled golden age!"
"At that time, we can also let those foreign nations witness the prosperity and terrifying power of the Immortal Dynasty!"
"If I remember correctly, at the last International Lantern Festival, apart from the relatively distant Sunset Sea and the war-torn Northern Wilderness, the other six states all had representatives from their respective aristocratic families and sects..."
Yang Yuhuan smiled gently and spoke eloquently, telling everyone what she knew.
She also participated in the last International Lantern Festival, so she has a pretty good memory of it.
.....................
"What is Her Majesty the Empress's current cultivation level?"
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Che suddenly asked a question, seemingly quite interested.
In a fantasy world, martial arts reign supreme.
The stronger one's cultivation level, the more influence one has.
Since the Empress's prestige can reach almost the entire land of China, one can imagine how powerful her cultivation level has become.
"It should be a cultivator in the Mahayana stage or the Tribulation Transcending stage..."
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics..."
"The Empress cultivated for three hundred years, ruled the Immortal Dynasty for a hundred years, and upon ascending the throne, she already possessed the cultivation of the peak of the Integration Stage..."
"Now, a century has passed, and I have no idea how far she has gone..."
Although she felt that Jiang Che's focus was a bit strange, Yang Yuhuan didn't think much of it and answered his question directly.
"Was that the peak of the Fusion Realm a hundred years ago...?"
Jiang Che clicked his tongue in amazement, somewhat shocked.
This woman is truly terrifying!
In just three hundred years, one can reach the highest level, and now one has even cultivated to the Mahayana stage or the Tribulation Transcending stage.
This would be considered genius among geniuses in any cultivation world...
It seems that the current empress is only a few steps away from truly becoming an immortal.
Such terrifying strength is enough to allow one to dominate the entire world.
In this era where gods are no longer present, those at the Tribulation Transcending stage already stand at the pinnacle of the entire continent.
No wonder the dynasties of the other eight prefectures held the Tang Dynasty in such high esteem...
"Sister Yuhuan, the International Lantern Festival will definitely be a lot of fun, right?"
"Could the delicacies of other dynasties also be introduced to Chang'an...?"
After listening to Yang Yuhuan's story, Ali was filled with longing as well. He swallowed hard and asked expectantly.
Compared to Jiang Che, this little foodie's focus was clearly more peculiar.
Five years ago, Ali was only thirteen years old, still quite naive and clueless.
At that time, she had just started working for Yang Yuhuan, so she didn't have much of an impression of the Lantern Festival.
"This... there should be, right?"
Yang Yuhuan was taken aback. Seeing Ali's expectant look, she felt both amused and exasperated.
What a true little foodie!
While everyone else was focused on how to communicate with other geniuses from different regions, Ali was only interested in the cuisines of various countries.
"If you're interested in this..."
"When the International Lantern Festival opens, you can come with me to the palace to take a look..."
"Her Majesty the Empress will also make an appearance and personally preside over the banquet."
Seeing Jiang Che and Gongsun Li's incredibly eager expressions, Yang Yuhuan had an idea and offered her suggestion.
………………
"We can talk about this later, there's no rush..."
"Sister Yuhuan, do you know how to set up formations?"
Jiang Che immediately changed the subject and asked a question out of curiosity.
"I only have a basic understanding, I'm not an expert. Why are you asking this?"
Yang Yuhuan was puzzled and didn't quite understand why Jiang Che had suddenly steered the topic so far away.
Her greatest expertise lies in music theory, followed by alchemy. While she has some knowledge of formations, she is not an expert in them.
If she were to set up an array, she could only do the most basic kind of array.
"Didn't I go on a training trip with someone a couple of days ago...?"
"Then I realized the importance of formations and wanted to set one up within Qingyun Manor..."
"To shield Qingyun Manor from the divine sense probes of other cultivators, thus better protecting it..."
Jiang Che explained his reasons. Hearing that Yang Yuhuan didn't understand formations very well, he was a little annoyed, but he understood.
After all, when he checked Yang Yuhuan's entry panel, he didn't see any entries related to formations.
This training trip made him realize the importance of formations, and he had no interest in being spied on by outsiders.
Although those truly powerful cultivators wouldn't care about a nobody like him, he still felt somewhat uncertain, which is why he suddenly asked such a question.
With that in mind, Jiang Che subconsciously checked Yang Yuhuan's entry panel.

040: The Peony-Lord Ming Shiyin? Jiang Che's Plans (Seeking flowers and favorites)
Seeing that Yang Yuhuan's approval rating for him had reached 50 points, Jiang Che felt a slight sense of joy.
It seems that Ali's decision back then was absolutely right!
Bringing Yang Yuhuan to live in Qingyun Manor was a brilliant move!
After spending so many days together, and with Ali constantly whispering in her ear, Yang Yuhuan's approval of Jiang Che naturally grew.
Living under the same roof, Jiang Che was never in a hurry for Yang Yuhuan, adopting a strategy of slowly boiling a frog in warm water, believing that feelings would eventually develop over time.
"I see..."
"I can't help you with this either; it seems you'll have to find someone else..."
"However, I do know a master of formations, but I don't know if you need him..."
Yang Yuhuan seemed to understand something; she completely understood what Jiang Che meant.
After all, all sorts of formations and restrictions can be seen everywhere in those aristocratic families and sects.
The functions of formations are numerous. They can not only isolate other cultivators' spiritual senses from detection, but also defend against external enemies. They can even gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to accelerate the cultivation speed of cultivators.
Of course, the more powerful the formation, the more complicated it is to set up. It also requires a great deal of talent and cultivation from the person setting up the formation, and various kinds of spiritual treasures are needed as the core of the formation.
"Who?"
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and asked with interest.
Based on his observations over the past few days, Jiang Che felt that he understood Yang Yuhuan quite well.
Aside from her close friend Ali, Yang Yuhuan didn't seem to have any other close friends, did she?
Have you ever heard of the Peony Alchemist?
Yang Yuhuan parted her lips slightly and slowly asked.
"Ming Shiyin?"
Jiang Che was surprised. Of course he knew who this Peony Alchemist was. Wasn't he Ming Shiyin?
Ming Shiyin was proficient in divination and astrology. Although his cultivation level might not be the highest compared to other heroes on the King's Continent, his array formation skills were unparalleled and incredibly powerful.
"You also know this Peony Alchemist?"
This time it was Yang Yuhuan's turn to be surprised. She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Jiang Che with a face full of curiosity.
Peony Alchemist is the leader of the Yaotian Organization, but the name Ming Shiyin is not well known. She only learned about Peony Alchemist's name by chance.
