Sixty years of Tianming.
Han Hegemon Emperor Xiang Yu abdicated as the Retired Emperor and passed the throne to Xiang Qi.
After the founding of a country, there had to be a ruler who ruled for a long time in order to consolidate his power and restore stability.
Perfected Lord He Yi saw this and reluctantly became the emperor for sixty years. As a result, he broke through to the Spirit Ascension realm 50 years later than Nine Spirit Dragon Mother!
After Xiang Qi succeeded the throne, he continued to follow Perfected Lord He Yi's policy of reducing taxes and expanding production.
At the same time, he punished the local tyrants severely and established the authority of Yan Han.
He ruled for 43 years and the world was under great rule. Unfortunately, he passed away in the autumn of Tianming's 103rd year of Tianming. He was known as Emperor Xing of Han!
The history books of later generations called this period of prosperity the Hegemon Era. It was the greatest compliment to Emperor Xing of Han.
After Emperor Xing of Han died, his son Xiang Ming succeeded the throne. His reign was mediocre and he passed away 20 years later. His title was Ming.
From then on, Perfected Lord He Yi realized a cruel truth.
When that existence defined the three realms, the laws of the world seemed to have changed.
Becoming the ruler of the nine states, the emperor, the son of heaven … the dragon luck was a huge hindrance to cultivation!
This caused both Emperor Xing of Han and Emperor Ming of Han to be unable to reach Foundation Establishment and Core Formation even though they had access to cultivation techniques and countless resources. They could only die like ordinary people.
Even Perfected Lord He Yi himself was delayed by more than 50 years!
Luckily, he was not greedy for power and retreated in the face of danger. Now that he saw the flaws, it was nothing.
With him and Nine Spirit Dragon Mother keeping an eye on things in the dark, it was enough to ensure that there would be mediocre emperors in the future. However, there would definitely be no muddle-headed ones.
If they dared to appear, they would be dragged to the ancestral temple and beaten to death!
…
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a young man with a mahogany staff and a crane feather cloak strolled into Yan Han's capital, Chang Luo!
"Kid!"
The man stopped a white-haired old man and asked with a smile, "I've always been cultivating in the mountains. I wonder what year it is?"
"Kid, can't you see that my beard has turned white?"
The old man said angrily, "You really don't know your manners …"
A woodcutter carrying firewood passed by and said with a smile, "Is this little brother joking? Now, it's the 136th year of Heaven's Mandate … "
"With the protection of the Overlord, the mighty man will not fall even after a thousand years …"
The young man in a crane cloak was naturally Liu Ji, and an emotional expression appeared on his face. "This is obviously even more glorious than the Empire of 400 years ago …."
"Young man, you're joking again. Before Yan Han, it was the Immortal Qin of five hundred years. Before Immortal Qin, it was the Zhou Dynasty, and before the Zhou Dynasty, it was the Shang Dynasty. Tell me, which one is the four hundred year dynasty?"
The old man was still panting with rage.
"Haha, I'm old enough to be your grandfather."
Liu Ji smiled, not caring at all. He took a step forward, and as if the ground had shrunk to an inch, only his back could be seen.
This made the old man and the woodcutter dumbfounded. "So he's a cultivator!"
The people of Yan Han knew about the existence of the Immortal Dao.
Moreover, the Dao of Five Pecks of Rice and the Dao of Peace were also the leaders of the Dao sects in the world. Because of this, there were many other Dao branches, as well as even more Jianghu practitioners and unorthodox sects.
Although the Imperial Court was strict in this area, the people still pursued the Immortal Dao.
When the old man saw this, he was afraid that Liu Ji was a demon and that he would be implicated in the lawsuit. He did not say anything else and quickly left.
Liu Ji walked past two streets, and after confirming that he had shaken off some surveillance, he continued to walk around, looking for the excitement.
"The carriage is here! The carriage is here! "
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. He saw a huge building that looked like a modern train station.
Black wooden rails were laid side by side on the ground. Amid a series of whistles, eight tall horses pulled carriages and galloped over at a speed of about thirty yards per hour.
"This …"
Liu Ji was dumbfounded.
"Haha, country bumpkin, you've never been to Chang Luo before, right? This is the 'Galloping Path' of the Yan Han! "
A young scholar wearing a square headscarf laughed and said, "This' Galloping Path 'can only be found in Guanzhong. It can carry a thousand people and a hundred thousand stones of goods at once, and still run like it's flying …"
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Liu Ji scanned with his divine sense and knew that the wooden rails of the 'Galloping Path' were made of a type of iron wood. It was hard and lighter than the rails.
The horses pulling the carriages probably had the bloodline of demon beasts. They probably ate meat and drank alcohol every day. Otherwise, they would not be able to pull such a heavy load and still run like they were flying.
"It's probably because Chang Luo has too many people, and the freight is too heavy, so they were forced to come out … Who would have thought that with such a huge gap and stimulation, they did not invent the steam locomotive, but used Daoist techniques to solve the problem …"
Liu Ji sighed to himself.
In the extraordinary world of Yan Han, Daoist techniques were the number one productive force.
Be it iron wood or demon beasts, they were obviously not things that could be tamed and obtained by mortals.
This would inevitably lead to the solidification of the social class. The status of immortal cultivators would become higher and higher, and they would control more economic lifelines.
Liu Ji could not help but feel lost, and he was more and more confused about the future of this world.
This time when he left the mountain, he had also cultivated to the peak of God Refinement. He had a lot of insights about breaking through the realm, and he had also experienced the mortal world.
Although the Demon Refining Gourd had accumulated enough spiritual opportunity to break through to the next level, the cultivation of the state of mind and the Daoist heart still needed to be personally polished.
"So it's an old friend!"
Just when Liu Ji finished watching the bustling scene at the station and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.
He looked back and saw a man and a woman in a restaurant not far away, raising their glasses to each other. The man was domineering, and the woman was gorgeous and dignified.
A few servants in fresh clothes with long knives on their waists strode over and bowed respectfully, "My master invites you!"
His tone was very respectful, and his posture was very good.
"It really is an old friend!"
Liu Ji laughed and went up to the restaurant. He realized that the place had already been booked, so he bowed first, "Greetings, Tyrant, Madam Yu Ji!"
Although the person in front of him was the first emperor of Yan Han, he still preferred to call him Tyrant.
Moreover, these two people had also reached the peak of God Refinement. Their foundations were extremely solid, and Liu Ji was slightly moved.
"Life is short, and a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Most of my old friends have withered, and it is a pleasure to meet you today!"
Perfected Lord He Yi toasted Liu Ji and smiled.
No matter what grudges they had in the past, a hundred years had passed, and the mortals had changed for five to six generations. If their old subordinates did not embark on the path of cultivation, they would have turned into a cup of soil. Today, they were more relieved than wary.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?" Progenitor Jiu Ling asked.
"I have cultivated hard for a hundred years, and I have reached the time to break through to God Refinement. I came to the mortal world to train my heart …" Liu Ji answered honestly, "At the same time, I am also looking for fellow Daoists to discuss Dao techniques …"
During the ten years of chaos, he cultivated from a mortal to Nascent Soul.
However, after God Refinement, it was more difficult to break through. Moreover, cultivating hard was not the right path for transmigrators, and the speed of cultivation was more than ten times slower.
