Paradise of Demonic Gods

The Jing Region, where the Divine Capital was situated, was being controlled by the imperial court, but it was only in name. Due to the imperial court’s lack of control, the Jing Region had always been coming up with all sorts of excuses and merely paying lip service to most of the orders from the Divine Capital.

However, after the Crown Princess’ arrival, this situation changed quickly. She relied on her powerful strength, her ability to move at akin to light speed, and the greatness of Spatial Translocation.

The Crown Princess led a 10,000-man army of Imperial Guards, using Spatial Translocation to launch assaults. Within three days, she swept through the entire Jing Region.

There was no one who could fend off her attacks. This was especially because she possessed the tier six Divine level Spatial Translocation ability. It allowed her to lead a 10,000-man army, instantly appearing in any city or county within Jing Region.

Within three days, not only had all resisting forces become demilitarized but the imperial court had also sent a tremendous number of members to take over the entire Jing Region. This was also the Divine Capital’s advantage. Even at the final days of the dynasty, there was still a large number of talents in the middle and lower tiers who were gathered here.

After all, the learning atmosphere of the education system, martial arts area, and cultural area in the Divine Capital had always been the best in the world.

If this were the dynasty’s most prosperous era, then this large number of mediocre talents would never be able to stand out if they continued staying in the Divine Capital.

However, right now, there was a requirement for a tremendous number of people to do the work at the middle and lower levels which had been made vacant.

Therefore, although it might seem a little troublesome for other influences to quickly assimilate an entire region, this was an easy feat for the imperial court.

With all the ringleaders executed and the military forces of the resisting groups dispersed, reformed, and reorganized, the many officials and aristocratic members at the lower levels who had been unable to stand out quickly pounced toward those vacant positions, howling with greed in their eyes.

…

In the palace, Fang Xingjian—who had performed the Lives’ Wisdom Seal—could clearly sense that things were different.

As the Crown Princess continued to expand his territories, The areas outside the Divine Capital, that were supposedly pitch-black, started to light up in patches. In the blink of an eye, the territories under his control spanned over the entire Divine Capital.

The entire Jing Region’s territory appeared in his mind. There were densely-packed colorful glows flashing above it.

During this period of time, the Crown Princess had conquered and taken down many territories. Then Fang Xingjian connected the consciousness of the citizens from these territories into his own consciousness.

By this moment, the entire Jing Region had become an extremely massive cloud computing cluster. Right now, even the amount of calculating resources that he could utilize had become extremely massive. The pace at which he derived his high-dimensional sword arts had quickened.

As the scroll that was used to seal up the Crown Princess floated before Fang Xingjian, it kept on changing in size and shape with the changes to his thought.

‘It can’t get into contact with any other dimensions, regardless if it’s at the high-dimensional or low-dimensional levels. In an actual battle, it doesn’t have too many advantages. At the end of fights, it will usually be a competition between the power of martial wills.

‘Only by grasping the method of changing between dimensions and opening up the other dimensions that are cringed up in space will it then have real advantages.

‘However, it is too slow to derive this by myself like this even with the Lives’ Wisdom Seal.’

Recently, after relying on the excessive calculative abilities of the people across the entire Jing Region to derive high-dimensional sword arts, Fang Xingjian was even more certain about this idea. This was especially because he experienced it himself, unlike how Ulpian had been to an extremely high level in the past.

Fang Xingjian then thought of the Tiangang Qis and Disha Qis in this world, as well as the Great Dao Realm.

‘Maybe the profoundness of this world is a turning point for my sword arts to attain another breakthrough.

‘I mustn’t give up on the Royal Heavenly Great Art either.’

Just then, Fang Xingjian’s brows raised slightly, and his eyes seemed to penetrate through the 1,000-li stretch of space. He looked in the direction of the Divine Martial Pass. The Crown Princess had made a move.

“Ha, she really is impatient.”

However, Fang Xingjian was not worried. There were many layers of mysteries and profoundness in this world, but amongst those in the ordinary secular world, even Tiangang Realm experts would only be equivalent to those who at the pinnacle of tier five of the Divine level. Their understanding of the world was incomparable to an expert like the Crown Princess.

…

Concurrently, outside the Divine Martial Pass, 1,000 cavalries dressed in black clothes and black armor stood proudly 1,000 meters away from the city walls.

Their backs were very straight, and their chests were lifted up. Even when faced against Prince Xin’s army that was on top of the Divine Martial Pass’ city walls, the cavalries still seemed confident and brave.

This was all because of the woman who was standing at the very front row amongst them.

Over the past few days, they had personally witnessed how powerful the Crown Princess was. Regardless of whether it was her remarkable Spatial Translocation ability or her majestic prowess that seemed to be able to shift mountains and overturn seas, they were all taken by great astonishment.

Following such a leader made even going to war something very enjoyable. They only needed to clean up the mess at the very end and then wait to be given credit for the achievements.

The Crown Princess’ beauty and her transcendent disposition had also caused countless members of the Imperial Guards to be head over heels for her as they concealed their love for her in their hearts.

After all, in the eyes of the many soldiers, she was a goddess that was not to be tainted, be it in terms of martial arts or appearance. Even some Disha Realm experts did not have the courage to woo her and could only silently hold their love for her in their hearts, worshipping her like a goddess.

Right now, Fang Wangshu who was right next to the Crown Princess, was looking at her with an increasingly complicated gaze.

In his gaze, there were hints of terror toward this woman, yet also waves of insuppressible love and possessiveness.

Thinking of embracing a female expert like this in his arms and doting on her made his heart palpitating intensely uncontrollably.

However, upon recalling her unbelievable martial arts, these thoughts dissipated abruptly. In his opinion, the Crown Princess’ martial arts were definitely at the very peak in the Tiangang Realm. He even suspected that she was already getting close to the legendary Great Dao Realm.

As Fang Wangshu looked at this goddess-like character, it was the first time he felt ashamed and inferior.

However, as he looked at the Divine Martial Pass, he still summoned his courage and said to the Crown Princess, “Mis Ma, please let me go persuade the general guarding over the Divine Martial Pass to surrender. Otherwise, if a huge battle were to break out, it would plunge the lives of the people into misery and suffering. The people who would die or get injured are all soldiers of our royal family.”

The Crown Princess threw a cold glance toward Fang Wangshu and said, “Alright, I’ll give you the time it takes for one incense to burn. After that, if you guys still don’t surrender, I’ll make a move personally.”

The Crown Princess’ intentions had been to bring Fang Wangshu and let him act as a guide all this while.

Although she had not really built a large harem like she had boasted about wanting to do, she eventually still cultivated the Royal Heavenly Great Art and took over a large number of countries, gaining a great amount of ruling experience.

Fang Wangshu exhaled softly as he rode on a white horse, rushing toward the Divine Martial Pass.

…

On the Divine Martial Pass’ city walls, Ye Ran wore a silver armor and held onto a long pole arm ¹ . He looked at the soldiers in the distance with a proud look on his face.

“Hmph, they dare come with just 1,000 soldiers?”

Ye Ran had reason to be proud. As Prince Xin’s foster son, he had always been the most outstanding amongst the people around him.

Therefore, he had received the guidance of countless renowned martial art cultivators from a young age, enjoying the best medicinal cuisine and going through the most high-end training.

This had allowed him to reach the pinnacle of the Disha Realm at his young age, having cleared a total of 72 acupuncture points. None of Prince Xin’s sons were a match for him.

The Raging Flames of War he cultivated was also a great world-renowned technique.

Moreover, there was now an army of 50,000 men stationed in the Divine Martial Pass. They were some of the greatest elites under Prince Xin, of which there over 100 Disha Realm experts.
