Chapter 176: World Martial Academy, Change in the Ocean

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes with anticipation.

Lin Haotian was his worshiper, so he could accurately sense him and visit him in his dreams. Moreover, Lin Haotian did not seem to be a simple character. If he could cross the ocean and arrive at Great Jing, it would prove that he had great luck and that he was indeed a protagonist.

Consider it an investment.

If Great Jing wanted to unify the ocean and become a Sacred Dynasty in the future, it would require a large number of geniuses.

Although coming to Great Jing from the Ancient God Continent meant getting away from the calamity of demons, the journey coming there would still be bumpy, just like the Journey to the West. Jiang Changsheng checked his incense points.

[Current incense points: 7,892,021]

After six years, the incense points had increased by another 7 million. That was pretty fast.

Through his perception, Jiang Changsheng discovered that his worshippers had blossomed on the Dragon Vein Continent. Other than his almost mythical achievements, the Dao Ancestor Sect was also flourishing.

The Dao Ancestor Sect was founded by the prince of Great Qi, Qi Yuan. Originally, Jiang Changsheng only asked him to spread his influence in Great Jing, but this fellow ran outside.

The Dao Ancestor Sect was filled with Jiang Changsheng’s believers. There were more than a thousand disciples, which was an impressive scale among mortal sects.

Qi Yuan found a way to bring peace to the world. That was to make all the dynasties in the world surrender to Great Jing. Unifying the continent would be the foundation of peace.

Other than the Dragon Vein Continent, Jiang Changsheng noticed that there were more and more believers of his in Tianhai.

He roughly calculated that the total number of worshippers had exceeded eighty million. All of a sudden, he did not understand the specific method of calculating incense points. Even though the survival system was formed according to the settings of the game he created in his previous life, it was essentially created by some mysterious power. He only knew what functions it had.

Perhaps a few incense points were created by one person or a few people together. It was mainly the accumulation of incense or the accumulation of power of faith.

More than eighty million people had burned incense for him, and there were probably billions of people who revered and admired him. His reputation had also reached the point where everyone on the continent knew him.

In any case, the rapid increase in incense points was a good thing. It could allow Jiang Changsheng to cultivate more steadily.

“It should be peaceful for a period of time, but not for long.”

Jiang Changsheng thought silently.

Even though the Limitless Sea Alliance suffered a crushing defeat, it did not sever the karma between them. In other words, the Limitless Sea Alliance still left behind a calamity for them.

But he was not worried, instead he looked forward to stronger people coming.

Due to the collapse of the luck of the Donghai Dynasty, natural disasters and plagues continued to occur, affecting the conquering process of Great Jing.

There were even many vassals that rose up and split the land of the Donghai Dynasty. However, in the face of the flood of iron armor of Great Jing, it was all paper.

The 16th year of the Shuntian Era!

Jiang Jian conquered the capital of the Donghai Dynasty and told the world that Donghai belonged to Great Jing!

The remaining dukes surrendered one after another, and Great Jing’s territory expanded.

August.

The Emperor announced to the people that the territory was now divided into 149 provinces. From then on, Great Jing became the largest dynasty on the continent, and Emperor Shuntian’s might reached its peak.

Jing Taizong led the land left behind by Emperor Jing Wen to double in size. Jing Renzong led Great Jing left behind by Jing Taizong to expand again. As for Emperor Shuntian, he surpassed Jing Renzong and expanded the land several times larger than during Jing Taizong’s reign!

In order to consolidate the empire, Emperor Shuntian did not continue with the war. Instead, he was bold and decisive in managing internal affairs. A large number of White-robed Guards escorted craftsmen to the Donghai Dynasty to prepare to build teleportation arrays. Song Li also began to build ports wantonly, allowing each coastal province to have at least two ports. At the same time, he organized fleets to explore the ocean.

In the imperial study.

Emperor Shuntian summoned the prime ministers of the three main provinces, including Chen Li.

“I am prepared to set up another level above the province. What do you think?”

Emperor Shuntian asked casually. Some objected and some supported his words.

The continent was huge, and it was time to expand its ranks. However, doing so meant that they would have to hold an additional official position.

Furthermore, it would suppress the vassals and provincial capitals of the land.

They had to consider carefully how to manage these new ranks.

Chen Li suggested, “Your Majesty, this matter is indeed imperative, but why don’t we put it aside for the time being? After all, you are still young and have to continue expanding your territory.”

Emperor Shuntian felt that it made sense and put it aside for the time being.

One of the officials said, “Your Majesty, as our territory expands, we will begin to come into contact with non-dynasties. To the west is a land of barbarians since ancient times. There are continuous high mountains, and it is said that there are many ancient clans that live in seclusion there. Moreover, their martial arts are not weak. The central region is a place where the demon tide is chaotic. Right now, the demons are showing signs of unification. I heard that Baize’s son has become a demon king with monstrous demonic might. The demon beasts he has gathered have reached a level that cannot be underestimated. I believe that Great Jing’s next target is not other dynasties, but this demon king.”

Emperor Shuntian smiled and said, “This demon king is only in the Universe realm. There’s nothing to worry about.”

Only in the Universe realm?

The officials were silent. Even though they wanted to complain, they were powerless to refute.

Emperor Shuntian said, “I will send someone to negotiate with that demon king later. If it is willing to submit to Great Jing, then there is no need to fight it. If it is unwilling, then it will die. Right now, I am very interested in Tianhai.”

Tianhai?

The officials looked at each other.

Emperor Shuntian said, “I am prepared to occupy the islands along the way to

Tianhai first to prepare for the future.”

As for the Dragon Vein Continent, he felt that the situation had already been decided. The remaining Great Qi and Tianhan were definitely not Great Jing’s opponents. It was only a matter of time before they unified the continent.

His ambition had changed, even surpassing the former Emperor Taizong.

Not only did he want to unify the earth under his feet, but he also wanted to unify the ocean. He wanted to make Great Jing the next Sacred Dynasty and unite all the humans in the world!

He did not feel any pressure about the impending calamity of demons. Instead, he felt endless motivation.

If the Sacred Dynasty fell, Great Jing would have a chance!

Even though this idea was selfish, it could not help but germinate in his heart.

“We should prepare to set up a martial arts academy. This martial arts academy will be equivalent to a holy land in the martial arts world, but it belongs to the imperial court and its status is on par with the six divisions. Each province will have a prefecture, and the capital will have a general prefecture. All citizens, regardless of their birth or age, can enter various martial arts academies to collect secret books. The martial arts academy can recruit talented students on their own. The results of the martial arts academy will be determined by the number of martial arts geniuses they provide every year…’

Emperor Shuntian spoke in high spirits.

He got this idea from Jiang Changsheng. He felt that the structure of the Saint Mansion was pretty good and immediately copied it down.

The officials were shocked. They realized that Great Jing was about to change!

Everyone had their own selfish motives. Martial arts secret books were an extremely important resource, and there was no precedent for a dynasty to publicize secret books to the common people.

After all, this would affect the interests of the various sects in the martial arts world and the influential people at all levels. It was easy for the country to be in turmoil, but if it were decided by the current Emperor, it could really happen.

Not to mention anything else, if the Dao Ancestor and the Sword God did not take action, no one in the entire Great Jing would be Emperor Shuntian’s opponent!

It was no exaggeration to say that Emperor Shuntian was the third strongest person in Great Jing!

Even if the Fuyue Family rebelled, Emperor Shuntian alone could suppress them.

Chen Li looked at Emperor Shuntian and sighed. “It’s a blessing to have him in Great Jing.”

It seemed like fate had always favored Great Jing.

With the exception of the first two emperors, Taizong, Renzong, and Shuntian were all mighty emperors who did not covet pleasure.

Even with the support of the Dao Ancestor, if an incapable ruler were to appear, Great Jing would stagnate for dozens of years or even fall behind.

In the 17th year of the Shuntian Era, the construction of a martial arts academy in every province of Great Jing had begun. The founding of the martial arts academy shocked the continent. The martial arts world was cursed, but the commoners were happy. There were even vassals who objected, but they were all suppressed by the Emperor.

The Emperor had ordered that anyone who dared to obstruct the construction of the martial arts academy would be beheaded if it was verified. If it was serious, their entire family would be implicated. For a moment, the martial arts world was in a state of panic.

In the courtyard, Li Jun was reporting the reaction of this matter.

“I think His Majesty did the right thing. Even so, the trend of martial arts has been promoted again, but those ultimate techniques are still in the hands of the families and sects. It did not shake their martial arts foundation. This move only made Great Jing’s martial arts foundation stronger.”

Li Jun said with admiration.

Bai Qi rolled his eyes. Wasn’t this the structure of the Saint Mansion that the Dao Ancestor had mentioned? The little emperor was really capable.

Even though she was complaining, she still admired Emperor Shuntian’s boldness.

It was not an easy task to finalize and implement it so quickly.

Jiang Changsheng stared at Huang Tian and Hei Tian as he listened.

At the end of last year, the two of them suddenly started to speak human language and could be considered as demons. At that moment, the two cat demons were training.

The cultivation of demons still followed the rules of the martial arts world. As the meridians of demons were different from humans, there were deviations in their cultivation methods. Therefore, Jiang Changsheng improved the cultivation methods of the Respected Great Martial and allowed them to cultivate it. From the looks of it, there were no problems.

Li Jun talked about the southern ocean again. Recently, more and more martial artists had left by ship to train in Tianhai, and it was about to become a trend.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “This is also a good thing. It is a good opportunity to help Great Jing spread its roots and pave the way for us to take down Tianhai in the future.

“Take down Tianhai? The continent has yet to be unified. How can His Majesty be so ambitious?” Li Jun asked in surprise.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Who knows? Even if he doesn’t have the ambition, there will be the next emperor. Great Jing will never stop.” Li Jun understood what he meant and felt admiration for him.

Great Jing’s destiny was the Dao Ancestor!

That was the real reason why the land was flourishing!

There was no cloud for tens of thousands of miles. Islands gathered on the ocean. Two figures galloped over and stopped by the ocean. They were the Evil Lord and Jiang Luo.

The Evil Lord had aged, and so had Jiang Luo.

The master and disciple walked towards the island’s bazaar.

The Evil Lord lamented, “I’m finally out. I feel like I can see the light of day again. ”

Jiang Luo walked in front and said, “The Floating Island’s pursuit of us has stopped. It seems like something big has happened in Tianhai.”

The Evil Lord also found it strange.

The master and disciple came to an inn they had been to before, the Resting Heart Inn.

When they sat down, the waiter immediately welcomed them. He blinked and said, “Dear customers, long time no see.”

The Evil Lord smiled and said, “You have a good memory. People come and go, but you still remember us after so many years?”

The waiter smiled and said, “You are all guests, so how can I not have a good memory? What would you like to eat?

Jiang Luo causally ordered some food and wine. When the waiter came with two jars of wine, he asked, “Waiter, has something major happened in Tianhai recently?”

When the waiter heard that, he immediately became excited and said, “Not only Tianhai, but the entire ocean is about to change!”
