Paradise of Demonic Gods

Hearing that, Ru Zi laughed arrogantly, “With Shen`er around, our Three Mountains Four Peaks will be able to continue for generations to come. Moreover, I already have one leg in my coffin, so it doesn’t matter whether I die a few years earlier or later.”

Qian Huang nodded and then looked at Xiao Shen. “Shen`er you’re a heaven-blessed cultivator to begin with, so now that you’ve comprehended the means of shattering space, you’ll definitely be able to integrate it with our Three Mountains Four Peaks’ Great Dao’s Testimony perfectly. You’ll be the main force in this battle.

“It’s really a pity. If you can wait until your realm has increased a little more before using the Great Dao’s Testimony, your strength will be even stronger after attaining the breakthrough. It’s a pity that we don’t have any more time.”

As he said this, all sorts of schemes flashed in his mind, “In order to perfectly unleash the powers of the Great Dao’s Testimony, we’ll need at least one year to work with it. Only then will we be able to unleash our strongest battle prowess.”

A cold gleam flashed in Xiao Shen’s eyes. “We can join forces with the various sects in the world. It’s likely that none of them want to have the imperial court riding over them.

“There are still three princes in the south, Liang Bo in the east, as well as the other feudal vassals. It’s likely that none of them would be willing to just sit still and await their doom.”

Therefore, in the days to follow, the Three Mountains Four Peaks went all out. Countless pieces of vague information spread between the various major influences across the world.

The Three Mountains Four Peaks had been in Middle-earth for many years and had a strong foundation. The reach of their influence far surpassed what anyone else could imagine. Under their influence, the influence in the world changed.

On one side, an alliance that viewed the imperial court and the Divine Capital as their greatest rival was formed.

On the other side, Fang Xingjian looked in the direction Xiao Shen had disappeared in and fell silent. He was slowly sensing that the world was treating him very differently.

After he suppressed a stretch of blood sea that extended out to a range of several hundred lis and changed the entire terrain of the Serene Mountain’s mountain range, he immediately sensed that everything around him, as well as the entire world, seemed to start bearing a faint hostility toward him.

This feeling was like he was within viscous glue, and as he made each and every move, there was intense resistance coming from the entire world.

Fang Xingjian’s Sudden Inspiration gave him the feeling that if he were to display such intense powers once again, the world’s repulsion toward him would grow even stronger. He could even be expelled from this world.

When he wanted to make a move on that fleeing cultivator—Xiao Shen—earlier, this feeling rose tremendously by countless times.

‘This world is part of that man’s body after all. This means that this world’s will is that man’s will. And my entry here is like the foreign matter and viruses outside the body.

‘Is that why if my activity is too great, the world will expel me instinctively?

‘Of course, it’s also possible that this is due to me defeating a heaven-blessed cultivator…’

Fang Xingjian looked at the sphere in his hand where he had sealed Blood Sea into. ‘…Heaven-blessed cultivators that represent this world.

‘Was that person who escaped earlier also a heaven-blessed cultivator? Is that why the hostility will grow even stronger when I want to make a move on him? After he escaped, I was unable to sense his existence. Is the world trying to protect him?

‘Then the relationship between heaven-blessed cultivators and the world’s will…’

Fang Xingjian could clearly sense that as he made a move to suppress Blood Sea, this world seemed to bear intense hostility toward him. It was as if the atmosphere, land, mountains, rain, and even the sun wanted to kill him constantly. That omnipresent hostility could instantly turn any ordinary person into a lunatic.

However, regardless of what the real reason was, Fang Xingjian was not planning on unleashing too much power within a short period of time. Even Fang Xingjian found it unpredictable on what the results would be if he were really expelled from this world. If he ended up being unable to even return to Miracle World, it would be troublesome.

He lowered his head and looked at Zhao Yinglan, saying, “The Heavenly Strategies Bureau will be doing their work from the Divine Capital in the future. Gather up everyone within half a month and bring them to the Divine Capital.”

“Your subject shall abide by your orders.” Zhao Yinglan knelt down and received the order. There seemed to be sparks burning in her eyes. She was already determined to get these matters attended to properly, increasing her and the Sacred Sect’s value in Fang Xingjian’s heart.

However, Fang Xingjian had already returned to the palace in Divine Capital through Spatial Translocation with a flash. He then started studying the profoundness on Blood Sea, unable to hold himself back.

There were still far too many things he needed to understand about the heaven-blessed cultivators, the Great Dao Realm, the Great Dao’s Testimony, and this world’s will.

The blood-colored fog in the translucent sphere moved slightly together with the scarlet eyes. Blood Sea’s voice rang out from inside.

“Fang Xuan, what on earth do you want to do?”

His tone was filled with anxiety and fury. He had reached the Great Dao Realm, yet he had been suppressed by this person on the spot and sealed into this sphere. The feeling was like falling into a mire from the clouds. Given his pride, how could he possibly be able to tolerate this?

Fang Xingjian flicked the glass sphere gently with his finger, saying, “Nothing much. I just want to study you.”

“You’ll regret this!” Blood Sea said, enraged.

Fang Xingjian shook his head and clenched his hand lightly. The shape of Blood Sea, who was in the glass sphere, changed immediately. It was as if there were Tiangang Qis and Disha Qis extending out from inside him.

‘Blood Sea might be a really good energy source.’

While he was studying Blood Sea, the eyes of Fang Xingjian’s other clone gleamed slightly in another study in the palace. ‘I’ll use 30% of my powers to fully focus on studying the secrets behind Blood Sea, the heaven-blessed cultivators, and the Great Dao Realm. The remaining 70% can be used to cultivate the Royal Heavenly Great Art and develop the imperial court’s powers. After all, I still can’t act carelessly…’

On one hand, developing the imperial court’s powers would help in cultivating the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique and the Lives’ Wisdom Seal, thereby increasing his powers. On the other hand, since he was not able to make a move recklessly, his subordinates’ powers would be very important.

Fang Xingjian left it to his clone to study Blood Sea and the profoundness of the Great Dao’s Testimony while he placed his attention onto the imperial court’s development.

With a slight thought, the complete image of the two regions and a large part of the Beiyuan Region was presented in his consciousness.

With the Crown Princess’ ongoing expedition, most parts of the Beiyuan Region had already returned to Fang Xingjian’s grasp.

‘The Royal Heavenly Great Art’s profoundness is no weaker than the Great Dao’s Testimony’s. I will accumulate great benefits by progressing with both of them concurrently. It will be of great help to improve my sword arts as well.

‘This means that the development of the imperial court can’t be at a standstill. Not only will it be of help to my cultivation, but it can also reduce the number of times the Crown Princess and myself will need to make a move.’

Fang Xingjian understood that since he would be restrained, the Crown Princess would probably also be restrained by this world if she were to act too much.

He had no idea that the Crown Princess had already defeated a heaven-blessed cultivator. If Xiao Shen had not shattered the space and escaped, the Crown Princess would probably have been the first to experience this world’s hostility.

‘If that’s the case, I can’t just raise the standards of living. I’ll need to hasten the increment of the imperial court’s powers…’

Fang Xingjian immediately contemplated on the means to increase the imperial court’s strength. With his rich experience and knowledge, he immediately thought of four to five methods to strengthen the military force and cultivators.
