Hearing Fang Yuan’s introduction, Fang Xingjian’s eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly calculated the effects of reaching the 33rd level at the very end of the 33 Paradises. It was a conversion at 8.5 billion times, capable of converting one meter into 8.5 million kilometers or shrinking one meter into a nanometer.
‘This martial technique’s prowess is really…’
Fang Xingjian had to admit that if he did not know about this beforehand, he might end up being put in a disfavorable situation if he were not careful.
In all, the Electromagnetic Drive, Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend, and 33 Paradises each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
‘The Crimson Blood Mystic Light Fiend is able to grow almost limitlessly. As long as the amount of power stored is strong enough, its prowess can increase almost endlessly.
‘Although the 33 Paradises technique has its limitations, even light-speed movements will be meaningless when the conversion rate is at 8.5 billion times. After cultivating this, one might even be able to possess an effect that is similar to superluminal speed.’ Fang Xingjian compared the advantages and disadvantages of the three martial techniques. ‘As for the Electromagnetic Drive, it has many similarities with my Thunder-Inducing Technique. However, it feels as if it hasn’t been brought to its greatest limits and isn’t complete.’
Clearly, these three people were not as righteous as they claimed to be. All of them held reservations over their own martial techniques and had not revealed everything.
Fang Xingjian had no plans to stop the exchange between the trio either. He allowed them to complete the exchange of martial techniques through his illusory arts. He was very curious about what changes there would be after these heaven-blessed cultivators exchanged their martial techniques.
Therefore, in the time that followed, this Fang Xingjian’s clone stopped at the Flying Immortal Mountain and observed the situation of the heaven-blessed cultivators. He would occasionally perform illusory arts, testing the heaven-blessed cultivators’ various abilities and their growth like he was conducting experiments.
Other than this clone, his other forces did not stop either. He had sent people to save Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian, but Xiao Shen was no longer concerned about them. All of his attention was focused on the two sets of armors. However, he kept on being obstructed by the means that Fang Xingjian had left behind. Gradually, Xiao Shen was even showing signs of being driven into insanity.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the several ten pieces of strange gemstones in his hand. There were words written on each of them respectively, including the Potentate Engine, S2 Engine 1 , antimatter cannon, shrinking cannon, black hole bomb, Furnace of the Universe’s Life and Death, Black Heavens Yellow Earth Pagoda…
He had no idea what these names meant, but they sounded amazing. The prints inscribed on them seemed to contain all sorts of the world’s profoundness, making Xiao Shen devote all of his energies onto them.
Simultaneously, the Crown Princess continued to lead the imperial court’s 100,000-man army down south, wiping out the various feudal vassals. After the battle at Lihe City, quite a number of leaders and strong experts from the feudal vassals’ forces died in battle. The imperial court’s army no longer experienced any decent resistance in their expedition.
If it was not because they needed to take over, recover, and reform these places, in addition to the fact that the Crown Princess could not do these things personally, she would probably have recovered the entire Middle-earth by now.
Despite this, in these few months, nine out of 12 regions in Middle-earth had been recovered. Wherever the army passed by, Fang Xingjian would create cement paths, install water and electricity, causing the lives of both the poor and rich to go a world-upheaving change. Their standard of living, hygiene level, and work efficiency rose in an upward trend, raising the happiness level of the citizens tremendously.
As the battles and reformations went on, the reputations of the imperial court and Fang Xuan reached an unparalleled height. The titles ‘Saintly Emperor’ and ‘Lord of Resurgence’ resonated across the land.
The pressure the three Princes in the south felt became increasingly greater. Every day, there would be a tremendous number of army deserters, and there were many important subjects that kept on persuading them to surrender.
In the palace, Prince Ding looked at the reports in his hands with a grim countenance. He threw the report onto the floor and said with a cold voice, “Who wrote this?”
An aged subject with white hair stood out and said, “Your Highness, the Emperor’s reputation is soaring, and he has great military prowess. Thus, he is unstoppable. Raging prosperity is about to come, and the time has come for us to serve the imperial court.”
Prince Ding smiled coldly and said, “Great. Who else feels the same?”
“Your Highness, things are different now. The imperial court is of one heart, and the Emperor has the support from the people…”
“Your Highness, His Majesty has suppressed the lands with great power, and the people are all devoted to him. He has earned great prestige. These weren’t things he obtained with his authority, but it’s heaven’s will for him to have them…”
“Your Highness, the current Emperor excels in both literacy and martial arts. It’s the will of both the heavens and of the people for him to assume the throne and rule over the lands from the Divine Capital.”
Seeing his many subjects stepping out to advise him to surrender, the cold smile on Prince Ding’s face became increasingly intense. At the thought of how these people had incited him to rebel a couple months back, the killing intent in his heart became very strong.
‘Excellent, excellent. All of you are looking down on me? You feel that the young and ignorant Fang Xuan will definitely win this?
‘ I’ll 2 let you know that all of you are wrong! The entire world is wrong!
‘I’m the one destined for the throne!’
With the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ support, Prince Ding still chose to hang on and not surrender. He even secretly wore dragon robes, an Emperor’s crown, and addressed himself like how an Emperor would. In his subjects’ opinions, he was not far from his death.
While Fang Xingjian’s strength kept on surging as more lands were reclaimed and a large amount of land and population once again returned to the imperial court’s rule, his various resources and Dragon Qi continued to surge incessantly.
The first thing was the armies under him. Just the number of members of the Sharp Swords army had already surpassed 10,000.
A total of 30 Disha Realm experts were equipped with the lower specification version of the Universe Knight System.
The Demon Sect’s Zhao Yinglan, Fu Daoxian, and an Elder at the Disha Realm were equipped with the higher specification version of the Universe Knight System. As for the other five Tiangang Realm experts who had come to seek refuge, Fang Xingjian did not trust them and thus did not give them any equipment.
With these, the imperial court’s military force was already at the very top. After witnessing these super high technological weapons, all the ambitious people across the world could only suppress their ambitions. Other than the three Princes in the south who were still trying to hang on with great difficulty, no one else dared to openly go up against the imperial court.
However, more and more people turned their gazes onto the super weapons that the imperial court had developed. Countless people threw in a lot of money, wanting to obtain secrets concerning these weapons.
Even the warriors from the Sharp Swords troop would receive a lot of monetary and beauty temptations daily.
However, with the exception of Fang Xingjian, the other people in this world would only know how to use these weapons at most. Therefore, it was meaningless regardless of how they tried to get the information from.
Aside from the military forces, the Dragon Qi in Fang Xingjian’s body also grew at an abnormally rapid rate as more and more land and people were recovered. In addition to the modern society modifications he implemented, he won over the people’s hearts and his cultivation of the Royal Heavenly Great Art improved by leaps and bounds.
Fang Xingjian also had takeaways from studying Blood Sea, heaven-blessed cultivators, and the Great Dao’s Testimony.
In the underground arsenal in the city’s outskirts…
Right now, in the underground arsenal, the occupied space and land area had surpassed the size of the Divine Capital it was next to. The number of densely-packed robotic cuttlefish was even more horrifying. It had surpassed 50 million in number.
Even if they had been specially used for production and manufacturing, they would also be sufficient to help one conquer and unify the world if they were brought out to be used for battles.
