I Have A Qi Fortune Altar
Chapter 1707 - 816: Origin Heavenly Pearl! The Curtain Falls! (Part 2)
Wei Wuque regained his composure, looked at the head on the ground, and immediately knelt toward Lu Chengfeng, who, as deserved, accepted the salute. Observing the corpse on the ground, he said in a deep voice:
"Wei Jinfeng... was indeed a remarkable figure."
"Your arrival this time was extremely crucial; had you arrived even a quarter of an hour later..." Moluo shook his head. He had only received the burning Sound Transmission Talisman from Lu Chengfeng en route.
In fact, he did not know exactly when he would arrive and could only persist until then.
"I came a bit late..."
After finishing the clash with the Buddha, he hurried in the direction of Sword Sect Pass, crossing several provinces in one night, covering thousands of miles at night. The speed was not slow at all.
After all, an Earth Immortal still could not achieve the level of moving a thought and reaching in an instant.
"I don’t know how things are going over at King Yan’s place."
Moluo’s gaze slightly narrowed. He had been waiting for news from Chen Yuan all along, but unfortunately, he hadn’t received any message from the Heavenly Book until now.
"That kid’s strength is not weaker than yours. Handling a mid-stage Human Immortal from Japan shouldn’t be a problem." Lu Chengfeng shook his head, not concerned.
This was a simple classification: condensing one Rule Flower is considered entering the Six Realms, early-stage Human Immortal; condensing two would be mid-stage Human Immortal.
Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is the pinnacle for a Human Immortal.
"But what if there is more than one Immortal?"
Moluo lifted his head and said softly.
...
"Mount Saint of Japan, Thousand-Fathom Mountain, ascended step by step to the heavens. Eternal Lava refines the mysterious, Origin Heavenly Pearl condenses Heaven and Earth, one Divine Pearl transforms into God, Heaven and Earth Rules become reality. Primordial Spirit transforms into Immortal God Saint, inside and outside unified, Martial God achieved!"
Martial God!
Martial God!
Martial God!
When Chen Yuan sensed this thought permeating his mind, a flame seemed to ignite in his eyes. Indeed, as he had expected, this opportunity was related to the Martial God.
Mount Saint of Japan, Eternal Lava, Origin Heavenly Pearl!
He had no idea what Mount Saint of Japan was, but he had heard Moluo mention the Origin Heavenly Pearl before. Each one was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, a supreme treasure that drove even the Immortals mad.
It can help one comprehend the rules of Heaven and Earth; the emergence of each would incite frenzy among the Immortals, yet for hundreds of years now, there hasn’t been any trace of them.
After all, nobody knows where this item condenses, and nobody can calculate it.
It can only be encountered through one’s fortune....
"Hoo...."
Chen Yuan exhaled a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart. Now is not the time to think about so many things. The most crucial thing is to immediately inquire about the current situation in Beiliang from Moluo.
After all, compared to that, the pressure on Beiliang is the greatest.
....
After ending the communication with Moluo, Chen Yuan’s expression was somewhat somber. Although this time they had held Sword Sect Pass and killed many Japan Martial Artists,
Lu Chengfeng who rushed over had also killed a Barbarian God, yet he wasn’t happy at all because... King of Beiliang, Wei Jinfeng, died in battle....
Over a hundred thousand Beiliang Army soldiers fell, with countless wounded.
The loss is considerable.
This battle can be said to have utterly defeated the warlords entrenched in Liangzhou, headed by the Wei Family, with heavy casualties. If they were enemies, naturally it would be a reason to rejoice.
But they were not enemies; Wei Jinfeng had already allied with him, and he had promised the Wei Family to eternally guard Liangzhou, to hold the frontier for him, moreover, he truly admired Wei Jinfeng as a person.
Amidst the internal turmoil in the Central Plains, or the chaos of wars, everyone basically sought to have a piece of the pie, except Wei Jinfeng never acted, even though it cannot be said he lacked ambition.
Only when the Northern Barbarians pressed the border, his choice was different.
Judging by intention rather than trace, using traces to argue none are saints, that is enough!
In the conversation with Moluo, Chen Yuan also informed him that Wei Wuque would be appointed as the new King of Beiliang, and the Beiliang Army henceforth would be under his command.
Besides, the Yan Army would allocate substantial resources and elite forces to reinforce the Beiliang Army.
The late King Liang, Wei Jinfeng, would be posthumously titled King of the North, equal in rank with the king, buried with royal honors, a monument erected, and a temple worship established, all other matters to be decided by Wei Wuque.
Whether lacking powerful guardians or anything else, just speak up.
The death of Wei Jinfeng filled him with regret, but since people have passed, what needs consideration is the future, granting Wei Wuque rewards is firstly to honor his merits this time, to reassure him, demonstrating Chen Yuan is not one to kill donkeys after mills are done being used.
Secondly, to show others what kind of character King Yan, Chen Yuan, has.
Lu Chengfeng was already on the road returning to Martial Emperor City, while Moluo would stay in Liangzhou for some time, to guard against a possible Northern Barbarian resurgence, and also assist Wei Wuque in capturing and pursuing the fleeing Northern Barbarian soldiers.
To kill them all cleanly is naturally inadvisable, not out of mercy, but due to a need for a large number of slaves, to rebuild the fortresses, repair the roads, until.... they are all worked to death.
This is a better torment than killing them.
Yagyu Toshi and Muto Shenjing were both obliterated into nothingness, leaving nothing behind, so after ending the call with Moluo, Chen Yuan left the turbulent void.
Returning to the sea area where they previously met.
And by the time he returned, the battle here had also ended.
All Martial Artists brought by Yagyu Toshi fell on the spot or were left with prohibitions, enslaved for life.
At the moment Chen Yuan appeared, both Ye Xiangnan and Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief. Although Chen Yuan had shown great power before, the adversary was ultimately an Immortal, and there was no way to ensure there weren’t other Immortals lying in ambush, posing significant danger.
Now returning, it basically announced the end of that battle.
"The army has begun to counterattack and is in stalemate, please give your orders, King Yan."
Ye Xiangnan bowed with clasped fists in a salute.
"Issue my Royal Decree, any Japan Martial Artist daring to resist shall be executed; those who surrender, spare their lives, but turn them into slaves, never to be forgiven.
Build Jingguan, let everyone witness."
"Yes, as you command!"
Ye Xiangnan quickly left with the people.
"This doesn’t seem like your style."
Jiang He raised an eyebrow.
But Chen Yuan laughed and said:
"Killing can’t completely wipe them out, and excessive killing incurs karma, hindering cultivation, but forgiving them is impossible; to annihilate Japan, we must address the root."
"How will you do it?"
"Destroy their nation, obliterate their faith, collapse their spirit, abolish their Martial Arts, annihilate their history, preach from the top down that Japanese people are an inferior race, born guilty.
They must die for the Central Plains, only then can they be reborn in the Central Divine Continent. Establish new beliefs, create deities, make them... forever unable to rise again.
Slaves... cannot be too many."
"Sounds a bit familiar?"
Jiang He pondered slightly.
"What Buddhism has been spreading in the Western Regions is exactly this, turning the entire Western Regions into fertilizer, supporting the number one Immortal Sect in the world, Japan is also a piece of fertilizer."
"This strategy is indeed harsher than killing them."
"It’s not only Japan, but also the Northern Barbarians and the Southern Border. Once my kingdom pacifies each of them, these places shall be turned into lands of slavery to nourish the Central Plains.
To become the true central hub of Heaven and Earth, Boundary Domain Shen Zhou."
"Aren’t you afraid they will retaliate in the future?"
"Reprimand them from the root, cutting off the path above Core Realm, even if they want to retaliate, how much strength could they gather, oh... and.... select some from their own people to govern them.
These people will be harsher against their own...."
Chen Yuan faintly smiled; this was an idea he had prepared long ago, and now, it could finally be gradually implemented.
"I heard you promised the Heavenly Demon Hall to eternally guard Japan?"
"Demon Dao will always be Demon Dao, despite their loyalty and chivalry, the sins they commit are still too great. With frequent blood sacrifices, artifact refining, and cultivation, placing them in Japan would be most fitting, wouldn’t it?"
"Got it."
Jiang He’s expression was serious as he nodded.
Feng Jiuge felt a chill arise in his heart, realizing that Chen Yuan was even more ruthless than imagined, seeking the extinction of the Japanese race, ensuring they can never rise again.
"Let’s go, this battle can be considered concluded, my kingdom.... has other matters to deal with." Chen Yuan exhaled a long breath, looking toward the eastern horizon.
The path of the Martial God had finally been fully opened....

Regarding comments about suppressing battle power.
Here’s the explanation: The Six Realms are divided into Third Layer Heaven. Entering the Martial God realm and directly being on par with Earth Immortal is considered suppressing battle power? This is already extremely powerful. If entering the Martial God realm directly meant invincibility, Chu’s Grand Ancestor wouldn’t have died a millennium ago....
