As Fang Xingjian spoke, he pressed down with a single palm. In that instant, the weather in the entire Divine Capital changed, and an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.
Pitter patter patter sounds rang out incessantly. As this overwhelming pressure came encompassing down, all the members of the Forbidden Army in the Divine Capital felt as if they were being pressed down by an invisible force. They had no choice but to drop to their knees.
The situation in front of the Grand Preceptor Manor was especially serious. Almost everyone was pressed down onto the ground, prostrating themselves like flies that had been swatted by a fly swatter. They were unable to move at all.
Only Cao Yuan, He Wanzhou, and the black-robed young man were half-kneeling on the ground, resisting the pressure that had descended from the sky. They did not drop to the ground completely.
With a soft pitter patter, Fang Xingjian and the astonished Wang landed on the ground. They slowly walked toward the three of them.
He Wanzhou looked in Fang Xingjian's direction in bewilderment. "Your Majesty …"
He Yuan's face was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? Walking in the air and suppressing an army … Fang Xuan, to think that you're a Tiangang Realm expert?" He Yuan had never imagined that the useless Emperor who had been born in the depths of the palace and grown up in the hands of women — the young lad who was still wet behind the ears in his impression — would actually have the strength of a Tiangang Realm expert.
Fang Xuan was the name of this world's Fang Xingjian. As for things like walking in the air and suppressing an army, Fang Xingjian was not interested in explaining. He merely walked up to the three of them and stood with his hands behind his back. "Cao Yuan, you mobilized the Forbidden Army, charged into the Imperial Capital, and wantonly killed the officials of the imperial court. Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Incapable ruler!"
"The empire will be destroyed in your hands!"
The black-robed young man and Cao Yuan roared and chose to resist at the same time. Destructive True Qi gushed out from their bodies, and the overload of power caused their tendons and meridians to tear and their acupoints to collapse. However, they still managed to erupt with 200% of their power.
One on the left and the other on the right. Cao Yuan turned into a black dragon that could devour the heavens and the earth, while the black-robed young man turned into a faint, almost invisible shadow that attacked Fang Xingjian.
An ear-piercing whistling sound rang out as waves of air were pushed aside, spreading out in all directions like shockwaves. At that moment, the two of them were moving at an extremely fast speed. The primary energy inside and outside of their bodies had merged into one. An aura field had completely enveloped Fang Xingjian, suppressing him completely.
At this moment, both of them were fighting with their lives on the line.
However, just as they inched closer to Fang Xingjian, the power of the sword gleams and spear shadows in their hands condensed into one, causing the space to distort and light to dissipate. Just as they were about to hit Fang Xingjian …
"Kneel."
Rumble!
It was as if heavenly punishment had descended, and thunderclouds could even be seen seething in the skies.
Everyone in the entire city was taken aback, feeling an endless sense of terror in their hearts.
Meanwhile, General Cao and the black-robed young man came to an abrupt stop in midair, as if they had been hit by an invisible force. With an explosive rumble, as if they had been struck by lightning, the two of them fell to their knees, smashing hard onto the ground. The tremors caused the street to crack, and air currents shot out in all directions. Dust and smoke were sent flying, and two large craters were formed where they were.
A hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes. They summoned their True Qi, and waves of power from the depths of the earth kept coming from under their feet, wanting to resist.
"Die."
Kacha kacha sounds rang out, and amidst a series of bone-chilling twisting and clashing sounds, Cao Yuan and the black-robed young man were twisted into two pools of twisted flesh and blood, falling to the ground.
At the sight of this scene, both Wang and Imperial Tutor He's eyes were filled with trepidation.
With a single command to kneel and a single command to die, the two Disha Realm experts, who could reign supreme in the pugilistic world, had died just like that.
With such unfathomable means and unfathomable cultivation, Fang Xingjian had now become the most terrifying character in the world to the two of them.
"The culprit is dead. Everyone from the Cao Clan is to be imprisoned and dealt with according to the laws. As for the other members of the Forbidden Army … let's not pursue this matter for now." Fang Xingjian said calmly, "The imperial court will provide financial support to the injured commoners. Remember to appease the commoners as well. Imperial Tutor He, come up with a plan and report it to me later. I'll leave the remaining matters to you."
Right now, Imperial Tutor He no longer had the disposition of leading the officials. Faced with Fang Xingjian, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed, saying, "Your subject obeys your orders."
When he lifted his head again, Fang Xingjian's and Wang's silhouettes were nowhere to be seen.
Therefore, over the next few days, both Imperial Tutor He and Wang gave their all to assist Fang Xingjian, not daring to have any other thoughts. The chaos in the entire Divine Capital was suppressed very soon.
The Forbidden Army and the city guards were almost unscathed. However, most of the people under Cao Yuan's command were transferred out and then all of them went missing. There seemed to be no news of them anymore.
The battle in the Divine Capital had unknowingly spread out, and many pieces of news regarding the current Emperor Fang Xuan being a Tiangang Realm expert spread out. However, those who were slightly rational would not believe that a 15 or 16-year-old young man would be able to cultivate to the Tiangang Realm. Many more people suspected if the Great Jin Dynasty's royal family was still hiding any powerful experts.
This also caused the feudal vassals to still feel wary toward the Great Jin Dynasty's royal family.
…
In the palace, many secret martial arts manuals that the royal family had kept in their collection were placed before Fang Xingjian, flipping through them rapidly.
Amongst them, there were martial arts manuals that were the most basic and most extensive.
There were also secret manuals that were unfathomable and were said to be left behind by Tiangang Realm experts.
Fang Xingjian looked at the many secret manuals before him, quickly calculating the effects of these secret manuals in his mind.
'The extraordinary powers in this world are divided into the most ordinary cultivators, followed by the Xiantian Realm, the Disha Realm, the Tiangang Realm, and the legendary Great Dao Realm.
In Middle-earth, ordinary cultivators were basically all apprentices or disciples who had just joined the sect not too long ago. Those who had practiced martial arts for over five years would be able to advance to the Xiantian Realm after clearing up the major and minor circulations as well as the conception and governing meridians in their bodies.
To Fang Xingjian, the battle prowess of the so-called Xiantian Realm was about the same as that of a first transition Knight.
If one continued to clear up the eight extraordinary meridians with essential Qi, allowing the essential Qi to flow through the entire body, they would be able to reach the Disha Realm. The elite disciples of ordinary sects and armies, including the Sect Leader and famous generals, were all experts at the Disha Realm. The lower limits and upper limits of experts at this realm were very different. They were similar to second transition Conferred Knights.
After reaching the Disha Realm, one would be able to engulf the essence of the earth and the earth's Qi, using the Disha Qi to temper the 72 acupuncture points in one's body. With each acupuncture point cleared, one's essential Qi's quality, quantity, and the toughness of one's physical body would all increase tremendously. After clearing up all the acupuncture points, one would then be able to strive for the Tiangang Realm.
People like Cao Yuan, He Wanzhou, Wang, and a few of their subordinates were all experts at the Disha Realm. It was just that the number of acupuncture points they had condensed was different. At most, they had condensed one or two acupuncture points, while the strongest, He Wanzhou, had condensed 50 acupuncture points.
In Fang Xingjian's opinion, these Disha Realm experts were already comparable to experts at tier one to five of the Divine level.
In the pugilistic world, Tiangang Realm experts were already considered top-notch experts. There were probably less than ten of them in the entire pugilistic world.
As for the Great Dao Realm, it was a legendary realm. There might not even be one in 1,000 years.
Looking at the martial arts manual before him, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Wang Yong, are there any Great Dao Realm experts in the world today?"
Wang lowered his head and said, "Ever since the Demon Sect's Great Emperor passed away 300 years ago, there hasn't been any news of Great Dao Realm experts in the pugilistic world."
Fang Xingjian nodded and asked, "What's the matter? Report it to me. "
Wang continued, "Your Majesty, most of Cao Yuan's direct subordinates in the Forbidden Army have gone missing. Based on our intelligence, they've probably been received by the Demon Sect."
"Demon Sect?" Hearing that, the corners of Fang Xingjian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a cold smile.
