Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan-Chapter 1131 - 1034: Onlooker_2
Chapter 1131: Chapter 1034: Onlooker_2
This slash cleaved them directly in two.
"What sorcery is this? How can mere mortals command such terrifying power?" The cultivator who faced the slash but was fortunate enough to survive seemed to still be immersed in the horror of that blade qi.
Li Zhirui, mingling in the crowd, was enlightened; it looked like Daqian Dynasty was developing really well, evident from the training of the army and their vigor and spirits.
Without a large supply of grain and meat, and frequent training, these soldiers couldn’t possibly have performed so well.
It’s just unclear whether this military unit is the trump card of the Daqian Dynasty, or the more common type of soldiers.
If it’s the latter, then it means the power of the dynasty is far more terrifying than Li Zhirui imagined.
And the other onlooking cultivators, their expressions were full of surprise and greed.
If a mere mortal can wield such great power, what if it fell into their hands? Would they not have the potential to fight beyond their level?
Many cultivators who originally just came to see the fun changed their minds at this moment.
"Hand over the Methods!"
"Right! Just hand over the Methods and we will retreat immediately."
They understood that the soldiers were important too, but to cultivators, the Methods were fundamental; with the Methods in hand, why worry about not finding mortals?
"Want it? Come and take it yourself!" Wang Heihu bared his teeth in a grin and launched another attack on the crowd.
The black tiger above the army’s heads emitted strands of black qi, twining them around the spirit blade and fiercely slashing towards the cultivators.
Wherever the blade qi went, vegetation quickly withered, a very peculiar and eerie method indeed.
This time, no cultivator dared to underestimate them, as the previous one who had done so was now just a pile of minced flesh.
All cultivators exerted their full defensive capabilities, and although the blade qi was formidable, it quickly dissipated in front of a multitude of cultivators.
"Hahahaha, mere mortals, even if you have some opportunities, that’s all there is to it!"
"Quickly hand over the Methods, or you will be slain and your Dao will vanish, don’t blame us for not giving you a chance to live."
A few cultivators shouted loudly, clearly not taking this mortal army seriously.
At a distance, safely away from the battle, Li Zhirui shook his head and thought: ’They have no idea of the terror of the Human Dao Empire, not knowing how many cultivators will die here after this battle.’
Buzzing—
Suddenly, a rumbling sound of marching came from afar, and the ground trembled slightly.
Not long after, an army of more than ten thousand men appeared before everyone!
Moreover, compared to the previous force, this newly-arrived army clearly seemed much stronger and was very likely elite.
"General Liu, you’ve finally arrived! If you were any later, I’m afraid I couldn’t hold on any longer."
"Hahahahaha, who doesn’t know the prowess of General Wang? Shouldn’t it be that if I didn’t arrive sooner, you would have resolved this by yourself?"
The two generals chatted with each other as if no one else were present, utterly ignoring the cultivators not far away.
"Commoners, how dare you disregard us?"
"Courting death!"
Accompanying the cultivators’ anger, a mass of Divine Powers were launched at the two generals.
But soon, they witnessed an incredible phenomenon: the power of their Divine Powers was getting weakened progressively!
’Human Dao magic network!’
Among all the cultivators present, only Li Zhirui knew what was happening.
’Didn’t expect that Daqian Dynasty had expanded the Human Dao magic network to the newly governed frontier regions already.’
With the emergence of the Human Dao magic network, Li Zhirui knew that the cultivators were bound to lose this grand battle!
Even though he was quite distant, he could still feel a strong suppression from the Human Dao magic network, much greater than what Li Zhirui had felt decades ago in the imperial palace.
After calculating in his heart, considering the Human Dao magic network in the frontier regions was this strong, then how terrifying must it be in the imperial capital and the palace?
Perhaps even the Great Ability Immortals from the Immortal Realm would be affected!
And given his current level of cultivation, let alone sneaking into the imperial capital, he feared even the bustling big cities would suppress him, leaving unknown how much of his strength would remain.
""
"Damn it! How do these mortals possess so many peculiar techniques, could it be that Demon Cultivators taught them?"
"General Wang, it’s time to go all out. The Prefectural Governor is urging us."
"Hahaha, very well."
General Liu deployed the battle formation, and a Qingpeng with a body surpassing a hundred zhang in size appeared. Numerous archers within the army drew their bows tightly, aimed at a Cultivator, and shot with all their strength.
A sky full of azure arrows rained down on the Cultivators, many protective shields were pierced full of holes, some didn’t even withstand the first volley and fell directly.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Wang Heihu, leading the soldiers behind him, as if truly transformed into a huge king among beasts, baring fangs and brandishing claws, launched into a slaughter against the Cultivators.
A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield returned to calm.
The Cultivators fled in a sorry state. Once again, the Daqian dynasty achieved victory!
—
After the dynasty defeated the attack of the Cultivators, some princes saw the emperor fall into a coma and harbored thoughts of sedition, or rather, they had never abandoned their coveted aspirations for the supreme imperial throne.
Especially after witnessing the towering and majestic strength comparable to that of an Immortal, their eagerness intensified.
And now, an excellent opportunity presented itself!
Thus, one after another they recruited soldiers and bought horses, seeking to usurp the throne.
"Alas!"
But they did not know that the emperor woke up the next day, only that he was aware of their intentions and simply chose not to act for the time being.
"Azure Dragon Guard, White Tiger Guard, Vermilion Bird Guard, Black Tortoise Guard, heed my command, swiftly suppress the likes of King Han, King Chu, and others, but do not kill them. Their lives are valuable to me." The emperor ordered into the Void.
"As you command!"
On this day, the four great Divine Guards that guarded the imperial capital swiftly mobilized, capturing all the seditious princes, courtiers, and generals alive.
It took no more than three days!
And most of that time was spent traveling.
This terrifying power left those families who shared the nation’s fate shivering, suppressing even their smallest schemes deep inside their hearts, perhaps never to resurface again in their lifetimes.
The emperor sat high above, looking down at the group of wretched people below and said, "I shall not kill you."
Upon hearing this, there was great joy among them, for they knew they had survived!
They all understood that this emperor valued promises above all; once a word left his lips, he would never renege on it.
But what they didn’t know was that this was because those promises weren’t worth the emperor turning his face over.
"However, you cannot remain within the territory of the Daqian dynasty!"
Regardless of their changing expressions, the emperor spoke for himself, "I will bestow upon you the complete methods of the Human Dao dynasty and various experiences, allowing you to establish your own Human Dao kingdoms within the vast Primal Spirit Realm."
To this, some people’s eyes were shining with brilliance, some fell into deep thought, and some were filled with fear.
"You may recruit from those families, but you cannot take away the common people from the territory."
With that said, he had people deliver Storage Magical Treasures to them.
They lacked a Spiritual Root and couldn’t absorb Spiritual Energy for cultivation, but the legacy of the Human Dao dynasty had Cultivation Techniques that could allow mortals to cultivate; however, each came with its drawbacks.
For example, Confucian Cultivators, a high threshold for entry, difficult to practice. Then there were Martial Cultivators, easy to learn but hard to master, and as one grew older, their strength would decline. freeweɓnøvel.com
And these methods all had the same drawback: none could achieve Longevity!
Even if one cultivated to the highest realm, their lifespan would not exceed two jiazi.
Of course, if they become celebrated by the populace and perform great deeds beneficial to the dynasty, they could possibly be granted Divine Enthronement upon death; from this point of view, they could also be considered to have achieved Longevity.
"You want us to establish Human Dao kingdoms everywhere, is it because you want us to share the massive pressure brought by the Cultivators?" A prince suddenly spoke.
"What if it is?" The emperor’s expression remained unchanged, "If you’re unwilling, then stay on Qingfeng Mountain in the imperial capital, under house arrest for life."
But for these ambitious individuals, seeing the chance to reign supreme over all, they would never again consider living a life of mediocrity.
