"…"
Wang Hou was a little speechless.
It's understandable that you've plucked all the fruits from the Bomb Fruit Tree. After all, it's grown from a powerful Vegetation Spirit, so it still has some value. But … you've moved Hawaii away. What are you trying to do?
Jiang He smiled awkwardly when he saw Wang Hou's bewildered look. "You might not know this, Minister Wang, but Xibei is a loess plateau and rarely has the chance to see the ocean. I heard from the internet that Hawaii is a tourist attraction, and it seems to be true now that I've seen it for myself. That is why I've moved several islands and bays, and I'll slowly admire them in a grotto-heaven I control."
Even as he spoke, Jiang He picked another island that was more unique. With a flick of his finger, a sword radiance flashed on his fingertip, cutting out the island along with the seawater and space around it, and put it away with a wave of his hand.
Wang Hou scowled even more.
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face as he thought to himself, 'It's definitely a good idea to cut off the space around the island's beach and bay. Once my farm levels up, I could start building a bay in my farm, and I could sunbathe on the beach whenever I want.'
That night, Jiang He and Wang Hou returned to Jingdu City.
Once they did, Wang Hou promptly called for a meeting to discuss the matter with the Golden Ape King of Skull Island.
He had also invited the elites of various sects who were stationed at Jingdu City.
At the moment, the various sects that were spreading their teachings in the Hua Nation had all set up offices in Jingdu City and bought a building, with each sect having a Sufferance-tier as well as several Convergence-tier, Yuan Spirit, and True Child cultivators stationed there.
During the meeting, Wang Hou suggested that the various immortal sects should dispatch their elites to purge the various Ferals and daemons. There was no need to kill them, and they just had to chase them out into the open.
The Sufferance-tier cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect then said, "Those daemonic cultivators and untitled cultivators definitely have to be purged. Back then, when the Dao of the homeworld was still and Spirit Qi dried up, the elites of the various immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemonic cultivators had all journeyed to the distant celestial battlefield. While some of the untitled cultivators and solitary daemonic cultivators had gone to the celestial battlefield, most of them remained on the homeworld."
"Due to the depletion of spiritual energy and the stillness of the Dao, these itinerant cultivators and solitary daemon cultivators had chosen to seal their own Dao and slumber somewhere. Now that the Dao of the homeworld has awakened, these slumbering champions would definitely sense it and awaken from their slumber."
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect had the deepest partnership with the Hua Nation, and both the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist and Jin Sidao were close to Jiang He and Wang Hou. That was why the Sufferance-tier cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect expressed his full support once Wang Hou suggested it, saying seriously, "Unlike us sect disciples, these untitled cultivators and solitary daemon cultivators have always been free and undisciplined, doing as they please. If we don't purge them as soon as possible, they might become a threat."
He paused for a moment before he continued, "Moreover, among these sleeping itinerant cultivators and solitary demon cultivators, there might be Immortals among them."
The Sufferance-tier cultivators of the other sects all expressed their stance as well, although their stance was rather vague.
Wang Hou did not mind and smiled, not mentioning the matter again. "By the way, there's something I forgot to mention. When Mister Jiang ventured into the Sky Demon Galaxy alone, I had begged the Golden Immortals of the other sects to help, but only Brother Ten Thousand Swords did. I did say then that from now on, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would be the only sect in the Hua Nation that could preach on a large scale."
The Sufferance-tier cultivator of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect could not help being delighted at those words, whereas the faces of the Sufferance-tier cultivators of the other sects changed drastically.
"Minister Wang …"
The Sufferance-tier cultivator of the Jiuhua Sect quickly spoke up, but before he could finish, Wang Hou turned to him and smiled. "By the way, I don't blame you for not having any Golden Immortals in the Jiuhua Sect. I could give you two base cities and allow you to preach within them."
The other Sufferance-tier cultivators of the other sects all spoke up, but Wang Hou waved them off and flatly said, "Alright, there's no need to say anything else. Jin Sidao's ascension banquet is tomorrow, and I'm sure the leaders of the other sects would attend. I'll personally discuss this matter with them."
"Minister Wang!"
The Sufferance-tier cultivator of the Taixu Sect tried to fight for it, but Wang Hou slapped him with his palm from the distance in the next split second.
Pow!
The cultivator's physical body was directly blown up, leaving only his Yuan Spirit, which smashed through the window glass in panic and fled outside.
Wang Hou grabbed at the air and drew the Yuan Spirit to him, saying flatly, "A mere Sufferance-tier cultivator dares to make a fuss in front of me? I'm giving you face by sitting down and discussing business with you, and yet you dare try to climb all over me?"
Nonchalantly throwing the Yuan Spirit aside, there was a fierce look in his eyes as he coldly said, "Back when the Sky Demons built the Stargate and their legion descended, I begged the Taixu Sect for an entire day and night, but no one from the Taixu Sect came to help."
"Now that the situation on Earth is great, I've allowed the Taixu Sect to preach for two months and recruit over two hundred disciples. I've already shown my mercy, and it's the same for the other sects."
"Alright, meeting adjourned."
Wang Hou promptly left in a flash.
On the other hand, Jiang He, who was listening in at a corner, smiled and said, "Everyone, take your time. I'll be leaving first."
He went outside to find Wang Hou scowling, and said, "Don't worry, Minister Wang. I'll put those immortal sects and demonic sects down if they dare to say no."
"That's not what I'm worried about."
Naturally, there was nothing Wang Hou would hide from Jiang He. After musing to himself for seconds, he solemnly said, "Actually, I have my own selfish motives in not allowing the other sects to continue spreading their teachings … after two months of observation, I realized that the citizens are clearly more interested in cultivating immortal arts than martial arts, with some martial artists with good potential even switching to immortal arts."
"That's understandable."
Jiang He smiled. "After all, in the public's perception, cultivators are more suave and handsome, and it makes sense that they would be able to kill their foes from thousands of miles away with Royal Sword Flight and soar through the nine heavens. Even I became hot-headed at the time and switched to immortal arts. Otherwise, would you, Wang Hou, have anything to do with founding the path of martial arts if I kept cultivating?"
Jiang He was not lying.
Founding the path of martial arts …
That was simple.
All he had to do was write and create a martial arts scripture that could progress step by step and reach Dao.
"Hmmm?"
At that, Jiang He's gaze suddenly twitched and he exclaimed in delight, "Minister Wang, I think I have a general idea on how to spread martial arts so that Void-tier martial artists would have a chance to reach Paragon in martial arts, or even cultivate a Martial Yuan Spirit and reach your current level."
"How?"
Wang Hou's gaze twitched.
He had cultivated martial arts, and had reached a level no one had ever reached before.
Now that the Martial Arts on Earth were prosperous, he naturally wanted to promote and carry forward the Martial Arts. However, the early stage of Martial Arts was still fine. The Three Changes of Divine Sense, Entering Void, and Insightful Void had been verified by countless Martial Arts predecessors. However, the Omnipotent Realm of Martial Arts after Insightful Void was not something that anyone could achieve.
The difference in ability between that tier was too great, which was precisely why it was much more difficult to ascend, not to mention Wang Hou's current level.
He was blessed by Fortune Qi, cultivated in the Star Map for a hundred years, and drank the Old Tea of Enlightenment like plain water for a month. He was in a state of enlightenment almost every second, and that was how he achieved what he had today.
If he wanted to promote martial arts and give martial artists the hope of stepping into the "Omnipotent" realm, as well as his current realm, he had to break down and simplify these realms.
It was a monumental task that he could not accomplish alone. Wang Hou was delighted at first when Jiang He suggested it, but soon smiled begrudgingly and shook his head. "You walk the path of immortal arts and cultivate the Golden Immortal Dao …"
"I've trained in martial arts!"
Jiang He said with a straight face, "Moreover, I could resume martial arts and continue my cultivation."
Wang Hou frowned and asked, "Wouldn't that delay your cultivation?"
"It's fine."
Jiang He replied flatly. "I'm now a full-fledged Golden Immortal and one step away from Grand Luo, and I could take that step whenever I want … so it's settled. I'll resume martial arts after I return and cultivate for a while to test what Zero Void and Paragon are. When that happens, I'll create a martial arts cultivation manual to split and simplify those tiers, and martial artists in the future just have to follow the prescribed order to cultivate to Paragon. Isn't that perfect?"
Jiang He smiled when he saw that Wang Hou was hesitant to say something, and said, "Don't worry, Minister Wang. It's not difficult for me, and you know that I'm very talented in creating cultivation manuals."
Wang Hou had a look of disbelief on his face. Then, Jiang He paused and asked, "By the way, what's your current tier, Minister Wang?"
？？？
"Well … it's only by knowing your tier that you could better create martial arts cultivation manuals."
"…"
Wang Hou's face turned green.
What the hell!
I actually believed Jiang He?
…
"Nameless?"
Up in the skies.
A blue cloud was wafting toward the northwestern direction.
Jiang He was sitting cross-legged nonchalantly on the cloud, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"Minister Wang is such a nuisance … he doesn't even know what his own tier is. Do I have to make it up myself?" Jiang He sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Whatever.
He could just find a book and copy the name of his cultivation tier.
"I'll have to spend a lot of Farm Points if I resume martial arts. It seems that I'll have to think of a way to get more immortal crystals when I get back … Moreover, I have one more planting slot left after my farm leveled up, and I could use it to create a martial arts cultivation manual before leveling it up."
The blue cloud was moving rapidly.
In just a few minutes, he had entered Lingzhou City's boundary.
Whoosh!
The blue cloud dispersed.
Jiang He descended from the skies and landed in front of his own house.
"You're back, Jiang He?"
A soft chuckle echoed beside Jiang He's ears. Jiang He did not turn around even as he descended from the skies, but his keen senses could 'see' a middle-aged man dressed in blue standing behind him, smiling at him.
His heart was pounding …
"He's already in front of my house, but I didn't notice him!"
"Could he be hiding here to ambush me?"
"There's such an elite on Earth?"
"Who the hell is he?"
The thought flashed through his mind.
Meanwhile, Jiang He invoked the Golden Radiance Sword by instinct.
Snikt!
The Golden Radiance Sword abruptly rose up, bursting with dazzling golden radiance. Behind that radiance, sword radiance shot out in all directions.
It was a brand-new Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity, composed entirely of acquired soul treasure flying swords.
Ooom!
The space around it shattered.
The might of the Sword Array instantly burst out.
The smile on the green-clothed middle-aged man's face stiffened and he promptly retreated, invoking a pagoda as he did. Precious radiance shone from the pagoda, shielding him as he cried out, "Stop, Jiang He! I'm …"
Pow!
The sword radiance that the Sword Array of Ten Realms and Infinity turned into had already struck the descending radiance.
The pagoda over the middle-aged man's head shook violently, and he coughed a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying hundreds of meters away like a kite with a broken string.
Whoosh.
The shockwave from that blow engulfed every direction. Every building in Jinyintan Village was instantly reduced to nothing, and the shattered spatial rift extended with horrific devouring force, devouring the entire village aside from the yard behind Jiang He. Moreover …
The destruction was still spreading across every direction.
Jiang He waved his hand, and a bronze bell flew out to quell the shockwave from the battle.
Inwardly …
He came to a realization.
That fellow just now, could he be …
That Grand Luo that Wang Hou spoke of???
"Ah …"
Jiang He exclaimed quietly, regret showing all over his face. "I was too reckless … I used almost my full power just now … could I have killed that Grand Luo?"
