Chapter 915: Chapter 49: Purple Gold Ancient Coin, Hongyun Coin, Heavenly Fortune Arrives! (13,000 Words Monthly Ticket Request)
A year has passed, Zhao Xing has hardly paid attention to worldly affairs, even deliberately forgetting the actions of his clones to avoid affecting his cultivation.
Now that his cultivation is complete, he closes his eyes again, and those deliberately forgotten memories swiftly emerge.
"In October of the 35th year of the Jingxin Calendar, the migration plan has involved over a hundred million people."
"In December of the 35th year of the Jingxin Calendar, Prime Minister Liu Si was executed, the power of the Chenwei Shenluo significantly weakened, and the fortune of the Black Dragon declined, even a large number of Yin Gods no longer obeyed Prince Liang."
"The refuge plan has also extended to the lands of twelve prefectures, affecting more than a billion people."
A billion commoners may seem like a lot, but when dispersed among twelve prefectures, it’s not really that many.
"At this scale, growth has slowed down." Zhao Xing thought silently.
"Firstly, there is a shortage of manpower and resources, making further expansion impossible."
"Secondly, the government and other families are also engaged in this effort; it’s not only us doing this."
"Thirdly, Prince Liang tore off all pretenses by February of the 36th year of the Jingxin Calendar."
"He enumerated ten crimes of Emperor Jing: harming siblings, slaughtering ministers, defying ancestral laws, mistreating citizens, disrespecting heroic spirits, valuing flatterers, waging unjust wars, breaking his word, indulging in beauty... practically condemning Emperor Jing as a tyrant."
"In March, Prince Liang vigorously hunted civil and military officials, capturing a total of 3,552 people according to the list on the Heavenly Fate Golden List."
"On March 25th, Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion proclaimed a vow; he categorized the unwilling officials as traitors aiding evil, and over three thousand were beheaded, blood-sacrificed to the Black Dragon Flag!"
"He commands five major legions: Black Dragon, Divine Oracles, Tiancang, Ming King, and Haotian."
"Among them, the three major legions are originally elite forces of Great Zhou, while Ming King and Haotian are augmented by factions from the Southern Barbarian Royal Court, Japan’s Desolate Clan, Eastern Sea Water Clan, and sect demons, alongside the princes from the Nineteen States supporting him, claiming to have a million High Grade Realm soldiers!"
"In early April, Prince Liang brazenly deployed three major legions, attempting to advance through five major passages of the Military Realm to strike Pinghai State!"
"Intelligence reports say Prince Liang’s route of march is Lvliang State - Dao Yuan Continent - Yuanpin State - Guangling State - then Tianyong State."
"At this time, Li Boqian has also emerged."
Zhao Xing set aside the intelligence report, closing his eyes.
"This is Prince Liang’s last bout of madness."
"He has no choice but to go all-in, bringing in factions from the Southern Barbarian Royal Court and the Outer Sect into Pinghai State, causing widespread havoc and absorbing Great Zhou’s fortune."
"He has completely abandoned the identity of the Ji family’s offspring, aiming to utterly split the realm and revert the Nineteen States back to the Age of Ten Thousand Kingdoms."
"Yet he won’t even survive six months after leaving Pinghai State, and the remaining rebel kings and foreign forces will be completely annihilated by the 37th year of the Jingxin Calendar."
"My plan should progress to the third stage."
Zhao Xing opened his eyes, a glint of excitement flashing red in his pupils.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"At this stage, the more you kill, the more rewards!"
"Many princes are waiting for me to plunder their homes!"
"In the hands of those princes, there must be spiritual energy items!"
"And the Outer Sects, Southern Barbarian Royal Court, they’re a chunk of meat; even if I only bite off a small piece, it’s enough for me to revel in."
"Go!"
Zhao Xing deployed all clones swiftly flying out of the Star Palace.
Over a thousand top-level Dharma Bodies were completely released.
In the blink of an eye, the Star Platform emptied.
Zhao Xing’s true self was completely emptied, thoughts falling into silence.
At this moment, his soul power is the weakest!
If all clones are annihilated, Zhao Xing would only have a one-star Life Soul, and repairing it would be quite troublesome.
But compared to the benefits, it was completely worth it!
As long as the true self does not die, recovery is just a matter of time.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo~"
The clones traveled underground, flew to the sky, and teleported.
The true self reached the treasure vault of the Star Palace, opening the warehouse dedicated to storing Primordial Soul Liquid.
"King Heavenly Destiny’s stock of Primordial Soul Liquid has been completely emptied by me."
"But he probably won’t mind, right?"
"At worst, I’ll scour some from the Yin Realm and return them to him later."
Zhao Xing murmured.
"Wham~"
He dragged all the boxes containing the Primordial Soul Liquid to another pool’s side.
"Buzz, buzz~"
All the Primordial Soul Liquid poured into the pool.
"A total of ninety-seven thousand units of Primordial Soul Liquid."
"With these soul liquids as a supplement, I can disregard the death of clones."
"Once they’re lost, I can supplement through the Primordial Soul Pool immediately, then create another."
Plunk~
Zhao Xing jumped down.
...
Datong Prefecture, Xier County.
In the warm May, all around Xier County, weeds grew rampant, the autumn winds chill, a desolate scene.
"Rustle, rustle~"
Zhao Xing emerged from a willow tree, gazing far towards the direction of Xier County.
"Xier County..."
Zhao Xing stroked his right hand.
His right arm bone was made from two segments of seventh-rank Geng Metal Divine Wood.
Inside stored Yang An’s Azure Dragon Sword Energy.
Once the top-level Dharma Body was completed, he tasked the Advanced Dharma Body to transfer the Sword Qi to the top-level.
The Soul-devouring Dharma Body naturally possessed the Guardian Grassman’s effect.
Through the nurturing of Geng Metal Divine Wood, the two strands of Azure Dragon Sword Qi grew increasingly mighty.
"The only remaining two strands of Azure Dragon Sword Energy in the world." Zhao Xing touched his right arm, "Marquis, today I use it to avenge you, settling the cause and effect for you."
The first thing Zhao Xing did after leaving seclusion was avenging Yang An! It was also the wish of Long Xiao and Chen Shijie.
After Prince Liang’s rebellion, the details of Yang An’s death were uncovered.
Yang An rushed to Yin You Mountain at the time, having received a distress letter from Military Marquis Luo Zhen.
