The four children had suddenly broken through to Rank One Martial Master. This was simply too frightening.
However, the expressions of the residents standing outside the square did not change. Only envy and gratification appeared in their eyes.
Jun Changxiao and Li Qingyang, who were mixed in the crowd, had their heads lowered. Otherwise, their shocked expressions would be extremely out of place with the crowd.
How could they not be shocked?
How could they not be shocked?
Or was it that things that could make a child's cultivation soar were so common that it was no longer strange?
"Strange!"
Jun Changxiao broke down. "This is too strange!"
"Father, mother!"
The pain of the four children dissipated. They struggled to stand up and said excitedly, "The Great Emperor passed on his power to me. The Great Emperor passed on his power to me!"
Jun Changxiao, who had been in a violent mood, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes. It could be said that he instantly turned into Teacher Gou Sheng. He said, "It was clearly a soul attack. Why are these children not affected at all?"
"Strange, very strange!" The System said.
Although the two of them liked to bicker, once they got serious, they would instantly turn into Di Renjie and Yuan Fang.
Jun Changxiao said, "The law of equivalent exchange in steel refinement states that in order to obtain something, you have to exchange for it with an equivalent price. I absolutely cannot believe that there is a way to increase one's cultivation for no reason in this world. There must be a secret behind this!"
"Host, you have the System. What do you think?"
"I have the System, but in exchange, I have a ticking time bomb. I have to fight for the sect for the rest of my life. I can't live the life I want, and I am destined to lose my love life. This is equivalent exchange!"
The System was silent.
This guy's words were somewhat reasonable.
However, you relied on your own strength to be single. What did relationships matter?
This pot! I won't take it!
"Although the children of the Li and Zhang families did not break through to Peak Martial Master in one go, it is still very precious." The wizard in front of the hall stood up and said, "Leave them in the Inheritance Hall first. Wait for the people from the Emperor Palace to come and collect them."
"Yes!"
The children's parents were very excited.
Their children were chosen by the Great Emperor and passed on his power to them. This meant that they would definitely become outstanding in the future. This was definitely a matter that would bring glory to their ancestors!
After the ceremony, the four children were led into the Training Hall by the wizard. The passersby quickly dispersed, but they were still discussing in low voices.
Jun Changxiao retracted his spiritual sense and thought to himself, "Although the four children have broken through to Martial Master, the aura they emitted quickly turned from strong to dull, giving off a sense of emptiness."
"It seems."
"Just like the pirates I met on the sea, they relied on some kind of method to raise their strength. It's hard for them to compare with martial artists who raised their strength on the ground."
The System said, "If the Host knows this method and can create thousands of Half-Saints in a short time to fight against thousands of Wu Huang, who will win?"
"A thousand Half-Saints, of course."
Although the Half-Sage pirates they encountered earlier were not as strong as the real deal, they were still strong enough to suppress Wu Huang in a fight.
The system said, "That's why Emperor Zhenwei has grasped the ability to rapidly increase his cultivation base. He doesn't expect his target to fight with someone of the same cultivation base. Suppressing the opponent with a higher cultivation base will work just as well!"
Jun Changxiao fell into silence.
If the System was right and Emperor Zhenwei could raise the cultivation base of the children without any scruples, wouldn't he be able to create a super terrifying army of high-level cultivators over time?
"This is just raising children. If that guy has the ability to raise adults or powerhouses whose cultivation bases are not weak to begin with, it will be even more terrifying!"
Back at the inn, Jun Changxiao half lay on the bed and frowned. "This Emperor Zhenwei is not simple. Could he be possessed by the Soul Race?"
As far as he knew, the Soul Race lived by absorbing other people's energy and cultivation bases. How could they do the opposite and raise the cultivation base of others?
"Master Fan said that the East Sea Fishery State is brewing a great plan that concerns the survival of the Nine States. Could it be related to the Zhenwei Empire and Emperor Zhenwei?" Jun Changxiao pondered.
"Headache."
Lying on the pillow, he rubbed his temples.
The System said, "Whether or not Emperor Zhenwei is possessed by the Soul Race or has a great plan, the most urgent thing is …"
Jun Changxiao spoke first, "Find Master Fan!"
"That's right."
"Sigh."
Jun Changxiao said helplessly, "I thought this trip to the East Sea Fishery State was nothing more than a sightseeing trip, but it seems to be more complicated than I thought."
At first, he didn't take it seriously.
After entering the Zhenwei Empire's territory and witnessing the strength of this country, he began to think seriously.
"Damn the Soul Race!"
Jun Changxiao complained, "Because of your unpredictable existence, I always fill in the blanks when I encounter something suspicious. I even become very sensitive and vigilant."
The System said, "The host and the disciple inherited the ancient Martial Emperor's physique and shoulder the mission of saving the world. It should be an equivalent exchange."
…
The next day.
Jun Changxiao and the disguised disciple set off and then entered several cities of different sizes one after another. Every time, they saw wizards holding training ceremonies in the square.
After Ye Xingchen and He Wudi saw it, they said in disbelief, "Just being shrouded in the light for a while can greatly raise the cultivation base. It's unbelievable!"
What they saw was nothing more than children breaking through from no cultivation base to the Martial Master level. Although they were surprised, it was still within the acceptable range.
Three days later, they came to a city closest to Zhenwei City and witnessed a hundred Wuzong martial artists breaking through to the Martial King level under the red light. They were so shocked that their hearts trembled!
The corner of Jun Changxiao's mouth twitched violently.
Although the Sect of All Times also had a way for disciples to break through to the Martial King level, it required various medicinal materials to refine pills. These people broke through with the red light. How did they do it?
If the statue was not strictly guarded and there were various formations, Gou Sheng would have smashed it to see what secrets were hidden in the eyeballs!
"Hmm?"
Just as Jun Changxiao was feeling depressed, he suddenly found that the group of martial artists who broke through to the Martial King level had a flash of red light in their eyes, and their expressions were also dull for a short time.
"Could it be that the so-called Great Emperor's training can improve one's cultivation base, but the price is to be dominated by some kind of power?"
…
Outside the city.
Jun Changxiao walked out with his disciples.
A beautiful woman held a pendant in her hand and half-knelt on the mound. Tears fell like rain as she cried, "Brother Feng, you said you would marry me. Why didn't you come back after going to the Emperor Palace …"
Emperor Palace.
Only those who were taught by the Great Emperor were eligible to enter.
Along the way, Jun Changxiao learned from the residents that whether it was children or teenagers, they were proud to enter the Emperor Palace and be loyal to the Great Emperor Zhenwei. They were even extremely fanatical about it.
"Patriarch."
Li Qingyang said, "If we follow this official road, we will reach Zhenwei City in about two hours."
Jun Changxiao glanced at the crying girl and waved his hand, "Let's go."
…
Two hours later.
Jun Changxiao took four disciples and stopped in front of the city gate of Zhenwei City.
In terms of scale, this city was inferior to the Great Emperor's Imperial City.
There were very few wars in the Nine Provinces of the Starfall Continent. Even if there were, no one dared to attack the Imperial City. Therefore, after thousands of years of development, the prosperity of the Great Emperor's Imperial City was incomparable to that of any other province.
Of course.
In terms of momentum, Zhenwei City was even better than the Great Emperor's Imperial City.
Jun Changxiao and his disciples had just stopped at the gate of the city when they sensed the aura emanating from the city. It was as if they were about to go to war!
"Let's go in."
The general guarding the gate allowed them to pass after strictly checking their identity.
Jun Changxiao led Li Qingyang and the others into the city full of war aura. The first thing that caught their eyes was the huge statue at the end of their field of vision that was bigger than any other city!
"Great Emperor Zhenwei."
"I, Jun Changxiao, am here!"
