Chapter 158: Setting Up Too Many flag (1)
Translator: 549690339
As Zhu Wuan walked slowly, waves of breakthrough stones swarmed over, and the number was quite considerable.
Before this, Zhu Wuwan had already opened the fourth chakra meridian from his lower dantian and connected it to his middle dantian. The only thing he lacked was the infusion of true qi.
At this moment, with the arrival of wave after wave of breakthrough stones, Zhu Wuwan silently circulated the Jade Book of Dao Beginning in his body, absorbing the strange power that surged over and turning it into pure Dao Beginning True Qi.
As the first wisp of Dao Beginning True Qi flowed into the Heaven Devouring Immortal Meridian, it also meant that Zhu Wuwan’s strength had entered a new stage.
The fourth level of the Aura Refining realm!
Mid Refinement Stage!
It was a huge transition from the third to the fourth qi layer. It was as fast as the breakthrough of the previous two levels. When Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu was still in power, Zhu Libo was targeted by him and was prepared to become the 19th crown prince because his sister failed to break through the bottleneck of the middle qi layer and was no longer feared by Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu.
From this, one could see the difficulty of breaking through from the third qi layer to the fourth qi layer. Among dozens of third qi layer cultivators, not even one might be able to break through. The success rate was not even one tenth.
However, this rather difficult bottleneck was easily broken through by Zhu Wuwan without any resistance, stepping into a brand new stage.
“Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the fourth level of the Qi Refinement realm for the first time in his life. You have received ten breakthrough stones ?” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
After reaching the fourth level of the Aura Refining realm, Zhu Wuwan obtained another ten Breakthrough Stones. The strange power of the five Breakthrough Stones was forcefully injected into his body, allowing Zhu Wuwan’s strength to stabilize and advance a small step.
At this moment, although Zhu Wanhao had just stepped into the fourth qi layer, his overall strength was not inferior to a sixth qi layer cultivator. He could even faintly compete with a seventh qi layer cultivator.
With the strength of the fourth qi layer, he could cross several realms and compete with a late qi layer immortal cultivator. Such terrifying combat strength, even in the immortal cultivation world, could be called a monster.
The dignitaries and envoys who were kneeling all over the ground could not imagine that Zhu Wuyang’s strength had undergone another huge transformation in just a few dozen breaths and had broken through a difficult barrier.
Thunderous shouts continued to ring out from all directions. Layers of martial artists kneeled at Zhu Wuan’s feet, covering the sky and covering the earth, prostrating themselves in worship towards this supreme being of the Nine Zhao Nation.
After two months of transmigration and two months of bitter cultivation, Zhu Wuyang finally broke through the layers of difficulties and ascended to the top of the Nine Zhao Nation’s secular world.
Why did he feel that the sentence above was a little strange? Zhu Wuwan felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it. Although she had suffered a lot, compared to Zhu Jun who pretended to be in a vegetative state, Zhu Wensi who was with pigs, and those princes and princesses who tried their best to pretend to be stupid, what Zhu Wuwan had experienced did not seem to be much.
However, he had gone through so many life and death situations during this period. It was really tough.
Zhu Wanhao smiled and ascended the throne of the Nine Zhao Nation, becoming the new emperor of the Nine Zhao Nation.
Upon seeing this scene, countless people cheered and knelt in front of Zhu Wuyang, sincerely worshipping him.
Such a peerless emperor was indeed worthy of them following. Compared to Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, the young Zhu Wuyang was clearly more wise and mighty.
But soon, these dignitaries did not think so.
A new official took office with great enthusiasm. On the second day after he ascended the throne, Zhu Wuyang began to make drastic changes.
” Congratulations to the host for defeating Liu Xianluo, the prime minister of Jiuzhao Country for the first time in your life. You have obtained a Breakthrough Stone…”
” Congratulations to the host for appointing a seven-year-old child, Kong Jie, as the prime minister of the Nine Zhao Kingdom for the first time in his life. You have received two Breakthrough Stones…”
The first thing Zhu Wuan did was to remove all the important officials and dignitaries from their positions and replace them with some more controversial people. These people included but were not limited to children, teenage girls, old men and women around 100 years old, beggars on the streets, courtesans in brothels…
All sorts of strange appointments left the people in the court dumbfounded. They wanted to object, but facing the most powerful person in the Nine Zhao Nation, Zhu Wuyang, most people still chose to remain silent.
Of course, there were also some censors who were not afraid of power who continued to speak, but there were not many of them. Zhu Wuyang ignored them and continued to do as he pleased.
With this move, Zhu Wuyang earned dozens of breakthrough stones in a short period of time. He was getting closer and closer to the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. At this speed, it would not take long for Zhu Wuyang to break through to the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
At the same time as he casually appointed officials, Zhu Wuyang also sent troops to attack the surrounding countries, especially those countries that had enmity with the Nine Zhao Country.
Even though these countries had sent envoys to celebrate his ascension, this action was nothing compared to the hatred between the two countries.
Faced with the domineering new Emperor Zhu Wuyan, these countries were helpless. They all gave up some territory. No one dared to clash with the Nine Zhao Country head-on.
They might be able to defeat the army sent by the Jiu Zhao Kingdom, but if the new Emperor Zhu Wuyan personally made a move, no country would be able to resist.
Since that was the case, they might as well give up a portion of the land to Zhu Wuyang. This way, they could avoid a huge war and at the same time, ask Zhu Wuyang for help so that he would not continue to attack their dynasty.
“Congratulations to the host for expanding your territory for the first time in your life. You have obtained three Breakthrough Stones…”
“Congratulations to the host for expanding your territory for the second time in your life. You have obtained two Breakthrough Stones…”
In a short period of time, from the aspect of expanding territory, Zhu Wuyang had obtained dozens of breakthrough stones. With the help of these breakthrough stones, Zhu Wuyang was already close to the peak of the fourth qi layer and was about to break through the bottleneck of the fifth qi layer.
Even Zhu Wuyang was a little surprised by such a speed. She did not expect that she could earn so many breakthrough stones by fooling around in the secular world. This far exceeded normal cultivation.
It seemed that Zhu Wanhao’s decision to stay in Jiuzhao Country for a period of time was very correct. In that case, it was time to properly operate the business.
He would try to earn as many Breakthrough Stones as he could from the Nine Zhao Country, then head to the Hundred Poisons Sect in Ten Thousand Insect Valley, and at the same time, accumulate more Free Breakthrough Stones.
According to Zhu Wanzi, he would be able to enjoy life after entering the Hundred Poisons Sect. However, if one did not think far ahead, there would be immediate worries. What if he encountered some setbacks after entering the Hundred Poisons Sect?
Therefore, before that, it was better to increase his strength as much as possible. That way, he would have more capital. That way, even if he really encountered a problem, Zhu Wuyang would have a greater chance of survival.
Moreover, for some reason, Zhu Wanzi had set up the flag so many times, repeatedly promising that as long as Zhu Wuyang displayed his strength after entering the Hundred Poisons Sect, he would receive astonishing nurturing. However, Zhu Wuyang always had an ominous feeling.
After all, on Earth, people like Zhu Wanzi who often set up the same flag would usually end up very miserable!
