I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

In the chilly winter months, life in Kyoto Prefecture seemed somewhat better than in previous years.

Apart from the snow a few days ago that turned Changle and Yongnian counties into a world wrapped in silver, the Imperial City both inside and out remained grand and imposing.

For Emperor Wei, seated high above all, the greatest times are when the State Prefectures are free of natural calamities and man-made disasters, and the frontiers are without warfare.

Especially so, if the Demon Court within the Ten Thousand Mountains outside Beixiong Pass does not descend to seize the Pass, then the fortunes of the Great Wei Dynasty can only soar day by day.

Even the daily court assembly had fewer distressing issues, sparing Emperor Wei any nuisance.

"Petitions, present them," Liu Gao stood outside the steps of the Dragon Throne and bellowed: "No issues, court dismissed!"

"This official has a petition."

The civil servant at the top of the hierarchy, Left Minister Xie Jing, took several steps to the side and, with a solemn expression and hands clasped, said:

"Recently, a demon caused chaos in Jiangnan Prefecture, and it was the doing of the Bai Shen Sect along with a group of Evil Demons and heretics."

"This official petitions the Holy Emperor, to immediately purge the Jianghu Sects to rectify what is seen and heard!"

Emperor Wei, lofty and superior, clad in a Purple Gold Dragon Robe, his head adorned with the apex crown, glanced at the silently quiet ministers on both sides and could not help but laugh.

The Bai Shen Sect is the Bai Shen Sect; the Jianghu Sects are the Jianghu Sects.

Xie Jing played a clever word game in his speech, and it made Emperor Wei eager to see the reactions of the others.

"Everyone, what are your thoughts on what Prime Minister Xie has said?"

As soon as these words fell, a large number of civil servants stepped out, echoing Xie Jing's memorial, requesting the court to dispatch troops to restore order to the Jianghu Sects, to uphold the Great Wei's majesty.

However, a few Marquises and Dukes voiced opposition, with Marquis Du Qing of Prince Zhenbei and Duke Gongye Jiahong of King of the Southern Garrison being the most vehement in their rhetoric.

"Jianghu Sects should not be confused with Evil Demons, this official disagrees with the Prime Minister's words!"

Du Qing snorted: "You should know that in past years, when there was war outside Beixiong Pass, the Sect Disciples have aided greatly; how can we target all Sects just for the Bai Shen Sect's actions?"

"Moreover, nowadays all State officials' descendants are apprenticed in the Sects; if the Sects..."

Speaking thus far, Du Qing paused, his gaze turning to the civil servant faction and suddenly a realization struck him, and swiftly changing the direction of his words:

"If we include the Academy Holy Lands, the Buddhist temples, the Southern Barbarian Sect, and others among the Sects, I have no objections."

Ah, no wonder the civil servants are so keen on suppressing the Sect Holy Lands, turns out their descendants are all at the Academies.

Especially since the founding of the Xingwu Academy, in recent years, the progeny of nobles, just like the first batch.

The descendants of the civil servant faction directly apprentice themselves to a few major Academy Holy Lands. The Marquises and nobles choose the Sect Holy Lands instead.

Simply put, Left Minister Xie Jing's intention to rectify the Jianghu Sects is to suppress the military faction.

His heart is punishable!

Beside him, Duke Gongye Jiahong of King of the Southern Garrison had also come to understand this and immediately stepped forward.

"This official seconds the motion."

A group of Marquises and Dukes also followed suit.

As soon as the civil servants said they would rectify the Sects, the military would assert that the Academies should also be considered as Sect Holy Lands.

Within a mere thirty minutes, the entire hall turned noisy like the stalls of the East and West Markets.

Indeed, it was quite the spectacle for Emperor Wei who sat at the top.

However, seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he glanced at Mr. Liu, who promptly stepped forward and declared: "Silence!"

Only then did Emperor Wei smile and said: "Having a dispute is good, it indicates that this issue requires further observation."

"However, what Prince Zhenbei said just now resonates with my thoughts. The Jianghu Sects have good and bad; indeed, they should not be lumped together."

Without waiting for the civil servants in the hall to offer admonishment, Emperor Wei continued: "As for whether the Academy Holy Lands are Sects, it's quite simple."

"I've heard that recently, on the 'Heavenly Pride List' that's widely circulated in the Martial World, there are a few who hail from the Academies."

"In this case, I consider these Academy Holy Lands should also be classified under the Sect category."

"Prime Minister Xie, what do you think?"

The official-clothed Xie Jing fell silent for a moment, then clasped his hands and retreated back among the civil servants without mentioning the rectification of the Sects.

The rest of the civil servants exchanged glances and also fell silent.

Since the Holy Emperor had spoken, if they continued to press on rectifying the Jianghu Sects, the Academies would not be spared.

At that moment, they feared becoming the target of scorn and condemnation from the scholars.

Emperor Wei, seeing this, smiled even more brightly.

"Now that we've reached this point, I have some good news to share with you all."

Saying so, he motioned to Liu Gao to circulate the "Heavenly Pride List" that had arrived earlier to the ministers in the hall.

But it was only the silver-tinted cover of that particular volume—Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List.

Du Qing stepped forward to receive and perusing it calmly, he opened the first page, his expression unexpectedly one of shock.

He stared intently at the golden characters on the first page, muttering:

"Little Sword Immortal, Chen Yi."

"A gentleman from Kyoto Prefecture, whose father is Duke Wuan, Chen Taiping."

"Inheritor of the Grand Void Sect from Sword Edge Mountain, disciple of Li Qingzhou, practicing the Nine Revolutions Profound Gang Technique."

"In the thirty-eighth year of the Yonghe era, during the winter month."

"Chen Yi, in Jiangnan Prefecture, single-handedly battled the 'Mad Old Man' Feng Shan, with merely the cultivation level of the Seventh Grade Origin Transformation Realm, relying on the mastery of the Great Sword Skill and the perfected realm of Slaughter Sword Intent, triumphed in battle."

"In this fight, Chen Yi also cleaved down the Sect Leader of the Bai Shen Sect, Wen Renhong, and a Blood Scale Demon of the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm."

Until the very end, Du Qing saw an additional comment.

"With a single sword drawn, known throughout the world—Little Sword Immortal, Chen Yi!"

Not only that, but following the remarks, there was also a portrait of Chen Yi drawn by a famous artist.

The youth held a sword with one hand, his Sword Intent soaring to the skies, his expression cold and stern, behind him lay the carcass of the Blood Scale Demon.

"This... the son of Taiping..."

Du Qing remained silent for a moment until Mr. Liu reminded him; he then hurriedly flipped through the next few pages and passed the book to the King of the Southern Garrison beside him.

However, his heart was troubled for quite a while, and a tinge of regret also surfaced.

"The Prince himself was also muddled; why didn't I send a letter to Taiping earlier, allowing that Lin Hansong to take the lead."
