New Chu, a country northeast of Yu Nation.
Almost 5,000 years ago, there was a powerful dynasty in the Eastern Continent called the Chu Nation.
The New Chu Nation was the nation established by its descendants.
It had been 300 years since its establishment.
Although established a hundred years later than the Yu Nation, New Chu’s prosperity was not inferior to that of the Yu Nation. In fact, it was even better in some aspects.
Unlike the Yu Nation, where the royal family had long lost their authority, New Chu’s imperial family, the Xiang Family, had always held great power.
They were domineering internally and were like hungry wolves to outsiders. From time to time, they would take a bite out of the surrounding countries.
The Yu Nation was the nation that New Chu wanted to annex the most.
The frictions at the borders had never stopped. Small-scale wars broke out from time to time.
Fortunately, after entering the modern era, the way of war had changed. The number of people who died had decreased when they used guns and cannons to attack from afar compared to ancient times.
However, no matter how much the number dropped, people still died. Every year, tens of thousands of people die at the border.
Almost every battle was started by New Chu.

Because of this, everyone in the Yu Nation, from the cabinet to the commoners, was filled with hatred for the nation.
Even in the New Chu Nation, there were many people who were full of complaints about the imperial family.
These matters were almost public, and many could be found online.
Su Jingxing had learned about the situation in New Chu from the Internet.
However, before this, he had never thought that the New Chu Nation would impose such harsh sanctions on the Yu Nation.
Cut off the birth of a new Martial Sage!
Without a Martial Sage holding the fort, a nation would automatically disintegrate without any attacks.
The Xiang Family of New Chu was too ruthless.
…
“The Xiang Family assassinated the potential successors in the Yu Nation. Didn’t the Yu Nation retaliate?”
After a moment of silence, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul asked, “According to what I know, the people of New Chu are not living comfortably under the Xiang Family’s dominant rule.”
Especially compared to the Yu Nation, although the new Chu people did not have to worry about food and shelter, they had many restrictions on their freedom.
“Of course we retaliated.”
Xia Cangxuan replied, “Just as you said, this is not the ancient times. The Xiang Family has always been domineering. The complaints from their people are getting louder and louder. We have also managed to rope them in to create trouble, and find their potential people to assassinate.”
“In the past hundred years, a new Martial Sage hasn’t emerged in New Chu either.
“However, the current Martial Sage of the New Chu is much younger than me. He has only lived for less than 200 years. The other party still has more than 160 years left to guard the New Chu Void World.
“As for me, if you still won’t appear, I will be completely annihilated in at most half a year.
Xia Cangxuan smiled bitterly. “In my current state, I can only appear once, and the appearance can only last for half an hour at most. Before that, in order to extend my existence, I sacrificed and refined my Essence Soul, divine weapon, and the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal to hold out for more than a hundred years.
“But, overall, it’s still good. At the very end…”
“Wait,” interrupted Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul. “You said you also sacrificed the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal?”
The Kingdom Defending Jade Seal! Xia Cangxuan had actually sacrificed and refined it!
In that case, how would the new Martial Sage quickly hold the fort over the Void World?
Take for example, Su Jingxing. It was easy to kill ostrich and puffer fish monsters, but when he encountered the Hidden Thunder Dragon Beard Beast, he almost died in its abdomen.
And it was all thanks to the Nine Souls Ring that he escaped!
“I had no choice.”
Xia Cangxuan sighed. “After my lifespan ended, my physical body could no longer move, and my Essence Soul began to be restricted. In the face of the Void Beasts’ attacks and the invasion of the Xiang Family b*stard, I had no choice but to refine the jade seal.
“But don’t worry, I’ve already prepared most of the materials for the new jade seal over the past hundred years.”
Without waiting for Su Jingxing to speak, Xia Cangxuan quickly went on, “To forge the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, one needs innate Primordial Energy, 10,000-year-old Polar Ice Soul, Seven-Colored Heavenly Crystal, and Soul Return Stone.
“I’ve found both the innate Primordial Energy and the 10,000-year-old Polar Ice Soul, and they are hidden in two secret places. I found the location of the Seven-Colored Heaven Crystal, but I haven’t retrieved it yet. There’s only one clue for the Soul Return Stone.
“So…”
“Cough! I know, I’m really sorry, but I had no choice.”
Xia Cangxuan sighed. “I’ll dissipate soon. If possible, I hope you can continue to guard the Yu Nation on my behalf. Over the past 400 years, I’ve also collected many good things. For example, I still have a Divine Weapon Seed hidden somewhere.
“Above spirit weapons are divine weapons. The Souls Ring you have can also be called a divine weapon, but its lethality is limited. If you want to use a Divine Weapon Seed, it’s best to find a real weapon. Mm, a weapon with spirit weapons attributes.
“Other than that, there are three more Sage Origin Fruits that can help you reach the third class of the Void Soul realm.
“Third class of the Void Soul realm?” Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul repeated in puzzlement.
“Yes, third class of the Void Soul realm.”
Xia Cangxuan smiled. “The Essence Soul can become a Primordial Spirit after going through the transformations through the Void Soul, Soul Fixation, and Soul Formation. The breakthrough of these three small realms is not easy.
“In order to make it easier to calculate and be clear which level one is at, these three minor realms were subdivided into nine classes back in the ancient times.
“When the Essence Soul has just been born, first class of the Void Soul realm.
“Take your Essence Soul state for example. It’s about to enter the second class.
“The consumption of the Sage Origin Fruit can speed up the transformation of the Essence Soul. Three Sage Origin Fruits are enough for you to reach the third class.
“By the way, the Saint Origin Fruits are nurtured using the national faith through the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Xia Cangxuan added with a grin.
Old wily fox!
Su Jingxing cursed inwardly.
Xia Cangxuan’s words were filled with temptation.
Want more Sage Origin Fruits?
If you do, you’ll have to force a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal first.
Compared to the divine weapons used by Essence Souls, the Sage Origin Fruits were undoubtedly more useful.
This was the first time Su Jingxing had heard of such a fruit, but he was immediately tempted.
Yue Dongliu’s memories did not show how one could strengthen the Essence Soul and move from Void Soul to Soul Fixation.
Other than the time when he killed the ostrich creature and absorbed the strange energy from its corpse, Su Jingxing had only tried to do so by increasing his soul power bit by bit.
Now, he just had to consume the Sage Origin Fruit!
Xia Cangxuan was afraid that Su Jingxing wouldn’t want to guard the Void World, so he used this little trick. Su Jingxing admitted that he was willing to take the bait.
In any case, he still had to protect the Yu Nation for 10 years. It was no big deal to take this opportunity to forge a new Kingdom Defending Jade Seal.
Xia Cangxuan thought he had tricked Su Jingxing.
Little did he know that Su Jingxing had also tricked him!
…
“I agree.”
Facing Xia Changxuan’s smile, Su Jingxing also smiled and said, “Since Senior has said so, I promise to try to reconstruct the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal, but I can’t guarantee that I will succeed. Senior has also said that there is only one clue to the Soul Returning Stone among the four treasures. It’s still unknown whether I can find it.”
“It’s okay.”
Xia Cangxuan was a little excited. “Just do your best. Forging the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal is filled with difficulties to begin with. It’s good that you’re willing to agree.”
With that, he no longer hesitated and told Su Jingxing the location of the Divine Weapon Seed, the Sage Origin Fruit, and the forging method of the jade seal.
He also shared the clues regarding the Soul Return Stone.
Finally, he said in a low voice, “If the Xia Family in the capital offends you, you don’t have to hold back. You can teach them a lesson, suppress them, or exterminate them!”
Hmm???
