My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

“Time is also Spirit Stones now, and the loss of adding and subtracting this is quite large,” Shi Zhan said.

“Yes, Department Head,” the Golden Core Stage young man behind Shi Zhan bowed and said.

“Fei Xing, I remember you graduated top of your class in the academy, the top disciple of that generation, right?” Shi Zhan asked, as he had once been the head of that academy.

“Yes, thanks to the cultivation of the dynasty, I have never dared to slack off during my time at the academy,” Qian Feixing said.

“After the next return of the Nine Phoenix Vessel, you will be its Deputy Vessel Officer.”

“Your talent would be somewhat wasted by remaining by my side; it should be put to use in more important places,” Shi Zhan said with a smile.

At present, all-important positions in the entire Nine Phoenix Dynasty are held by Puppets; Feng Changning wants to reform this, and Shi Zhan is the vanguard of this reform.

“Ah, a Deputy Vessel Officer! Department head, I feel that this step is quite big,” Qian Feixing said somewhat hesitantly.

As the only Star Vessel of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, its importance was very clear to Qian Feixing.

“I know what you’re worried about. Each Puppet on board is no different from an ordinary person; they are all loyal to the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.”

“Once you become the Deputy Vessel Officer, you will also be respected on the Nine Phoenix Vessel, and Puppets are easier to get along with than ordinary people,” Shi Zhan persuaded.

“Don’t be afraid that you can’t do it well, just be afraid that you won’t try,” Shi Zhan turned around and patted Qian Feixing on the shoulder, then left this place.

His Communication Talisman had just vibrated a moment ago; it was Feng Changning summoning him.

In the imperial city of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, Feng Changning sat on the Dragon Throne in a magnificent Great Hall.

“Master, no need for such formalities,” Feng Changning said, motioning to a palace girl to bring a chair over for Shi Zhan to sit on.

“Your Majesty, what is your purpose in calling for me?” Shi Zhan asked.

“Just now, the National division came over to discuss with me, saying that according to the current progress, in 10 years, we can accumulate enough Spiritual Mines for the first Star Vessel in the Nine Phoenix Dynasty.”

“Under the personal refining of the National division, within 50 years, our Nine Phoenix Dynasty will possess a Star Vessel refined by ourselves.” Feng Changning spoke slowly, her gaze on Shi Zhan somewhat profound.

Shi Zhan looked into Feng Changning’s eyes and instantly understood the meaning.

“I understand your meaning, Your Highness. Within 50 years, we can cultivate a group of excellent new Star Vessel crew members,” Shi Zhan said.

“Then I will trouble Master with this. Although those Puppets are also citizens of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty, they lack certain things after all.”

” Entrusting them with everything still poses some hidden risks,” Feng Changning said subtly, with only one underlying point.

She wasn’t 100% confident about the Puppets.

“I understand Your Majesty’s meaning, leave this matter to me,” Shi Zhan said.

At this moment, Feng Changning, sitting on the Dragon Throne, suddenly realized that the person who once regarded her as everything now seemed to treat her differently.

Feng Changning looked at Shi Zhan’s expression and suddenly felt that at this moment, Shi Zhan truly regarded her as a little sister he had watched over since childhood.

“Master, thank you for your hard work,” Feng Changning nodded and said.

“Your Majesty, I have something to say,” Shi Zhan glanced at the palace maids and guards beside Feng Changning.

“You all leave, I have some intimate words to share with my Master,” Feng Changning waved and said.

In a moment, the entire Great Hall was left with only Shi Zhan and Feng Changning, surrounded by a Soundproofing Array enveloping the entire palace.

“What does Master want to say to me?” Feng Changning looked at Shi Zhan, and she was very happy about the changes in her once-closest person.

Deep in her heart, there was also a sense of relief.

“I want to know the National division’s attitude towards the Great Master,” Shi Zhan said with a serious expression.

After encountering Feng Changning, the actions of the National division made Shi Zhan realize that he was a person who would do anything for his goal.

And Xu Fan carried half of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s Merit and Destiny; anyone who became the National division would see Xu Fan as a thorn in their side.

“The National division’s attitude towards the Great Master…” Feng Changning paused here.

“It should be that he wants to get rid of him!”

Both parties were not children, so Feng Changning decided to tell the truth.

“I also want to know about Your Majesty’s thoughts,” Shi Zhan asked again.

“The Great Master has shown me great favor and has also helped me a lot during my difficult times.”

“The Nine Phoenix Dynasty is what it is today, and more than 80% of the credit goes to the Great Master,” Feng Changning said slowly.

“As for the Great Master who enjoys half of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s Merit and Destiny, what does Your Majesty want to do about it?”

Shi Zhan looked at Feng Changning and asked, to be honest, the current strength of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty had largely surpassed the former Hidden Spirit Sect.

Back then, he had regarded that Sea Boat as a huge object of celestial workmanship, but now the Nine Phoenix Dynasty already had six Sea Boat Fleets.

Even the unheard-of Star Vessel, which had the mighty power to mine in the Vast Void Domain, the Nine Phoenix Dynasty had one, and there were countless Puppets with Nascent Soul Stage Combat Power.

With such strength, it had long surpassed the former Hidden Arrival Gate.

Under such circumstances, Shi Zhan couldn’t help but suspect that Feng Changning already had the idea of wiping out the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“I know what Master is thinking, rest assured, I will not be so despicable.”

“What the Great Master has given me, I will return it a thousand-fold, even ten-thousand-fold.”

“As for the Great Master enjoying that half of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty’s Merit and Destiny!”

“I will wait until the Great Master Ascends, and then take it back.”

“I have the Divine Abilities of inheriting the Qi Fortune of a dynasty, which can be bound to This World, allowing all cultivators of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty to stay here permanently.”

“For our dynasty, waiting for ten-thousand years is still something I am willing to do,” Feng Changning said domineeringly.

“What about the National division’s side?” Hearing Feng Changning’s words, Shi Zhan put his heart at ease and asked about another concern.

“The Nine Phoenix Dynasty can’t do without the National division now, both in the present and the future,” Feng Changning’s tone was somewhat somber.

“Actually, I have discussed this matter with the National division, but judging by his reaction…”

Feng Changning sighed.

“I will talk to the National division when I have time, I spent some time in the Hidden Spirit Sect.”

“The Great Master’s impression on me is like that of a brilliant Star River, no matter how high I stand, I can only look up to it in the mortal world.”

“Although our dynasty’s strength is now stronger than the former Hidden Spirit Sect, I feel that the National division can’t defeat the Great Master.”

“If conflicts arise between the two sides, it will be all harm and no benefit,” Shi Zhan said.

“I understand what Master said, I will talk to the National division again later,” Feng Changning said.

“That would be best, if there’s a chance, I’d like to go back to the Hidden Spirit Sect to see how our hometown small world is doing,” Shi Zhan whispered.

Hearing Shi Zhan’s words, Feng Changning immediately said, “If I don’t want to go, I can let the Nine Phoenix Vessel take you there.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Great Master, and I have many things I want to consult.”

“Then I’ll wait until the next departure of the Nine Phoenix Vessel.”

Shi Zhan’s eyes lit up.
