Chapter 277

In the royal capital of Qi Country, is the emperor’s study room.

Emperor Qi has indeed started to practice martial arts, but the progress is slow. After all, he is getting old, and even with the nourishment of precious medicine, he still feels the difficulty of martial arts.

Especially when he first started to strengthen his bones, the unbearable itching and pain would be unbearable for those who did not have strong willpower.

Martial Arts is not something that everyone can cultivate.

However, after encountering many setbacks recently, Emperor Qi’s willpower has significantly strengthened, allowing him to endure until now.

He has already started to strengthen his bones.

This is a rather slow pace.

Among the princes, it turns out that the eldest prince has the most unyielding will and is most suitable for practicing martial arts. He easily overcame the pain of strengthening bones.

The Third Prince fares much worse, as he can’t bear the discomfort for long whenever he strengthens his bones. As such, his progress is slow.

Now, the eldest prince’s bones have been tempered to the strength of metal, and he has perfected this phase. He has started the organ strengthening stage.

The eldest prince has been spanked several times after all, his pain tolerance has been trained to a high level, surpassing other pampered princes.

In the study, Guo Rongshan has arrived, carrying a box in his hand.

“Brother Guo, what brings you here so late?”

Emperor Qi asked curiously.

Guo Rongshan opened the box that was on the table, inside were three jade bottles.

“Your Majesty, these are pills necessary for cultivation. They are for bone strengthening, organ strengthening, and blood regeneration.”

The Emperor Qi looked at him questioningly. He naturally knew about the Guo family’ s possession of medicinal pills, but they were personal items given by Xu Yan. No one dared to covet them.

Today, they offered to give him medicinal pills?

“Brother Guo, should you have any matter to discuss, you may decide. I won’t have any objections.”

Emperor Qi carefully said.

Guo Rongshan, with a calm expression, slowly spoke. “I am supposed to be a highly moral person, so I feel a tremendous amount of pressure at all times to do real and helpful things for the border people, to strengthen our border region…”

Emperor Qi has become stern.

What Guo Rongshan was referring to was not Qi Country, but the border region!

It means that his vision was not confined to Qi Counry alone, but encompasses the entire border region!

Guo Rongshan continued, “The term ‘Border Region’ is merely a term used by the people of the Inner Domain. The land where we live is barren and primitive, thus it has been referred to as the border region. But can we just settle for this forever?

“My son-in-law, Xu Junhe, has already entered the Inner Domain to develop. From henceforth, can we just settle for remaining in the border region?

“We, the people of the border region, must unite so that we can secure a foothold in the inner domain. Our martial arts from the border region comes from the compassion of our ancestors.

“We must hold the conviction to occupy a place in the inner domain, and pass on the martial arts techniques of our ancestors.

“So, to unite our border people, I propose that Qi Country and Wu Country merge into one, and we no longer call ourselves the border region, but instead Dahua, a resplendent, great nation.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qi of Qi Country abruptly stood up, his face greatly changing as he exclaimed in shock, “Brother Guo, are you trying to exterminate Qi Country?”

“Why is Your Majesty so insistent on keeping Qi as a country? It is but a small country in the border region. Dahua is the right path. Only by entering the Inner Domain and establishing a foothold can one achieve eternal greatness.

“The name of Qi may be gone, but You will always remain a sovereign.”

Guo Rongshan looked calmly at the Emperor Qi.

In the study room, all was silent. Emperor Qi’s expression changed, as though he was contemplating something.

After quite a while, he took a deep breath and said, “Would the Emperor of Wu agree to this?”

“He will agree,” Guo Rongshan replied calmly.

“In this vast land of Dahua, if there’s no Qi or Wu, then who will rule?” the Emperor Qi asked solemnly.

“When Dahua is first established, there will be two emperors ruling the kingdom. The Northern Emperor is you, and the Southern Emperor is the Emperor of Wu. I propose the establishment of the Dahua Inner Council to mediate between the North and the South. I am willing to serve as the first Great Elder of the Inner Council.”

Guo Rongshan took out a proposal and put it on the table, inviting Emperor Qi to take a look.

Emperor Qi was thoughtful. Guo Rongshan was not going to rebel, yet he wanted to become the Great Elder of the Inner Council. Dahua would have two emperors, both from the North and the South, with him mediating in the center, which clearly placed him above the two emperors.

The Emperor of Wu was younger than him and was ambitious. Would he agree to this?

While reading the proposal, Emperor Qi was contemplating whether to secretly contact the Emperor of Wu.

After closing the proposal, there was a long silence from Emperor Qi.

“Dahua will unite our people, the name ‘border region’ has not yet spread widely. We should seize this opportunity to propagate the name Dahua. We are all people of Dahua, Dahua represents the origin of the world. Therefore, we are the rightful heirs!”

Guo Rongshan spoke up, “Your Majesty, this is the inevitable course of events!”

Emperor Qi exhaled, knowing he could not resist. The unstoppable force was already set in motion with the emergence of Martial Arts.

Guo Rongshan and perhaps Xu Junhe have probably been pushing this forward behind the scenes.

In fact, Emperor Qi suspected that the establishment of Dahua was probably engineered by Xu Junhe!

“Now that Dahua has been initially established, how will the Emperor of Dahua be determined after the two emperors of the North and South? Will it continue to be divided between the North and South?”

Emperor Qi asked in a deep voice.

“The second generation emperor of Dahua will be chosen from the royal families of the original Qi Country and Wu Country. Whoever gains the support of the majority of the Dahua populace and more backing from the cabinet, will become the Emperor of Dahua!”

Guo Rongshan calmly declared.

Emperor Qi fell silent. If it came to this, the Emperor of Dahua, though nominally the ruler of Dahua, would be constrained by the cabinet and could not truly dominate everything.

This was a type of balance.

Looking at the calm expression on Guo Rongshan, Emperor Qi gritted his teeth and said, “Brother Guo, remember that we are sworn brothers, so please look out for the royal family of my Qi Country.”

“Your Majesty, rest assured, I am inclined towards you.”

Guo Rongshan nodded.

“As long as the Emperor of Wu does not object, I naturally will not object!”

Emperor Qi said solemnly.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, the Emperor of Wu won’t object.”

Guo Rongshan smiled.

A few days later, news swept through the borderland.

The Emperor of Wu announced the abolishment of the name of Wu Country, merging with Qi Country to establish Dahua!

The next day, Emperor Qi also announced the abolishment of the name of Qi Country, merging with Wu Country to establish Dahua.

Simultaneously, the Dahua Cabinet was established, with Guo Rongshan as the Head Elder.

At the same time, several important ministers from Wu Country joined the cabinet and became members of it.

The force of the Qi Country was renamed Dahua Might and was under the rule of the cabinet, responsible for safeguarding Dahua.

The former Wu Country’s Tiaxuan Guard was renamed Tiaxuan Force, also belonged to the Dahua Cabinet, and was considered on par with Dahua Might in terms of responsibility.

Next, the Dahua Cabinet issued new laws. All martial artists in Dahua were required to respect the Great Dahua’s Martial Arts Saint, the Great Dahua’s Martial Ancestor, and uphold the glory of Great Dahua’s Martial Arts.

The Martial Arts cultivation techniques were widely disseminated in Dahua.

Dahua, divided into North and South emperors, Emperor Qi remained in Qi Country and the Emperor of Wu remained in Wu Country. They did not interfere with each other, with only the Dahua Cabinet handling the affairs of both countries.

A new era has arrived in the borderland!

Everyone is leaning towards martial arts. Everyone is grateful for the blessings of the Martial Ancestor’s teachings and is striving for the rise of Dahua!

Gradually, it was said throughout Dahua, “the Inner Domain, is not just for the people of the Inner Domain. We, the people of Dahua, should also have a place in it!”

“Dahua, the land of the origin of heaven and earth, we the people of Dahua, are also the rightful lineages!”

In Tie Shan County, Li Xuan had just come out of Tianbao Pavilion, feeling that Tianbao Pavilion really knew how to do business, like a major inland capital.

Just returning to the Chang Qing Pavilion and sitting down in a chair.

A golden light emerged and said: “Investing your written Martial Arts, widely spread in Dahua, you’re being revered as the Great Dahua’s Martial Ancestor, you acquire The Ancestor’s Heart+The Ancestor’s Aspect.”

Li Xuan was immediately surprised and looked at the borderlands. Such radical changes happened just after he had left?

Dahua?

Has the borderland finally unified?

“The Ancestor’s Heart?”

Li Xuan was greatly stirred, he vaguely understood why there was a response from the Golden Finger.

The borderland, due to the Martial Arts he spread, had entered a new era, and Martial Arts had become something everyone was looking forward to, revering him as the Great Dahua’s Martial Ancestor.

The Ancestor’s Heart, has the ability to absorb Martial Arts methods into the practitioner, increasing their ability to create new Martial Arts methods.

The higher the realm, the stronger the power of The Ancestor’s Heart could be displayed.

And The Ancestor’s Aspect is that anyone who practices the Martial Arts he created would inevitably worship and admire him deep down, and revere him!

“It’s playing out big. Now I’ve really become a Martial Ancestor!”

Li Xuan was a little shocked. The establishment of Dahua felt like something Xu Junhe would do.
