With Ulpian's assistance, Fang Xingjian spent three days scanning through the entire northern continent with his high-dimensional sensory abilities. Although it was just a rough scan, as long as it was an existence at the Divine level or above, he would be able to see through all of them.
He then flipped through the history of the Holy See of Truth and asked the Saints and bishops. However, there was still not much information regarding Fang Yueru.
'My mother has indeed come to the Church in the past and even met the Pope once.
'And my appearance is also very similar to the Pope. '
It was a pity that this was the most information he had. What relationship did Fang Yueru have with the previous Pope, where did that mysterious man in black come from, and why did he bestow Fang Xingjian with his talent and draw out his lifespan were still unsolved mysteries.
Fang Xingjian then thought of how the man in black had taken away Fang Yueru's corpse and asked him to come to the Church to look for him. However, there were no traces of him now.
There were also the remaining eight sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword.
Now that Fang Xingjian thought about it, all these secrets seemed to be related to the previous Pope. It was a pity that the other party had already gone missing. Otherwise, as long as he could find the previous Pope, many of the secrets would naturally be solved.
However, Fang Xingjian was not discouraged despite not being able to solve these secrets. He returned to the Empire's Imperial Capital and imparted some of his martial arts to his subordinates. He then returned to Earth and went to the Fang Clan's manor, leaving behind the various technological and cultivation knowledge he had obtained.
With these legacies, even if Fang Xingjian were to die in battle in the future, the influences under him would not be in too bad of a state.
After doing all these, Fang Xingjian arrived at the Western Sea's coast.
According to what the Prince had said, a portion of the Western Land's sea domain and Miracle World's sea domain would overlap in the next few days.
...
Elsewhere, in the direction of the faraway Western Land.
Over 100 ironclad battleships sailed on the seas. Each battleship's surface was encompassed by countless runes, revealing various auras of flames, lightning, and coldness.
At the bow and below the deck, countless steel cannons were ready to be fired. Many ammunitions that flashed with a golden-purple glow were piled up together, revealing an extremely dangerous aura.
It was a terrifying fleet that was extremely powerful and had perfectly combined supernatural power and technology.
On the flagship of the fleet, a square-faced, black-haired, and black-eyed commander dressed in a black and red military uniform stood proudly. He looked at the fleet of warships of various sizes standing on the sea with their banners blotting out the sky with a proud look on his face.
Right now, in the Western Continent, or the land that they called the Central Continent, the world was unified, and the dynasty was flourishing. The dynasty known as the Great Yan Dynasty was at the pinnacle of power.
The fleet in front of them was the Great Yan Dynasty's Eastern Punitive Expedition. They were here to explore the other side of the ocean, to explore the continent where countless blonde, white-skinned barbarians lived.
Commander Lin Guodong looked at the fleet under his command and tapped his knuckles on the desk in front of him, secretly judging the current situation of the world.
The current Great Yan Dynasty was ruled by the Emperor, and he himself was the strongest Divine expert under the heaven. He had an army of eight hundred thousand soldiers under his command, and more than fifty thousand Grandmaster experts.
Just like Miracle World, the Western Land was filled with ether particles, and cultivation could also be done through jobs and Stats Window.
It was just that the descriptions of the various realms were slightly different, and the emphasis and trends of the martial techniques were also different.
The Divine level experts in the Western Land were still referred to as Divine level experts. However, Conferred Knight level experts were referred to as Grandmasters, while Knight level experts were referred to as Xiantians.
Right now, the Great Yan Dynasty's Emperor had conquered the four seas, wiped out the barbarians, and controlled the entire Western Land in his hands. He was also referred to as the Divine Emperor by the people of the four seas.
However, Lin Guodong understood that although the Great Yan Dynasty seemed to be celebrating peace and prosperity, hidden beneath the prosperity were piles of bones and the blood and tears of countless commoners.
In a situation where there were no external wars, the entire world belonged to the country's people. Therefore, the people in power would only be able to exploit their own people.
Therefore, the reason why Lin Guodong was leading the Eastern Punitive Expedition to explore the barbarian continent on the other side of the ocean was so that he could excavate the riches of the other continent. He wanted to make a fortune from the war and also divert the conflicts within the country.
At the thought of the riches of the other continent, endless desires and greed appeared in Lin Guodong's mind.
He once again flipped through the relevant intelligence reports regarding Miracle World and read their contents.
'Based on the information brought back by the spies a few years ago, this Miracle World is far behind the Central Continent in terms of martial arts, politics, economy, military prowess, and things.
'They're just a bunch of barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. When the time comes, I'll have to let them have a good taste of what it means to be a great country.'
Lin Guodong stroked his chin and thought, 'But although they're barbarians, there's no lack of Divine level experts among the natives. I'll have to deal with them carefully.'
Just as Lin Guodong was repeatedly studying the intelligence reports regarding Miracle World …
On another ship in the fleet, two sailors were resting on the deck.
One of them had thick brows and big eyes, appearing to be simple and honest. "Hehe, Senior Martial Brother, you're really good. You're able to summon clouds and rain with a flip of your hand. This time around, the eastern punitive expedition fleet has been completely wiped out, and the imperial court will definitely be in an uproar. That Divine Emperor of ours will definitely have a great drop in his prestige."
The other young man, who had a feminine appearance and a thin body, said calmly, "Don't underestimate that person. If it wasn't because of his secular background and if he were to cultivate in the higher realm like us, his achievements would probably not be what they are today. "Even now, he has to rely on the combined efforts of the other sects to slowly crush the entire Great Yan."
It turned out that this eastern punitive expedition was secretly influenced by the sects in the higher realm. They wanted the entire army to be wiped out and shake the imperial court.
Other than that, there were also other higher realm sects in the Central Continent that had made arrangements to affect the Divine Emperor's rule.
This had always been the style of the Western Land's higher realm. It was to avoid direct battles and damage to the land. Everything was done in the dark.
The higher realm's immortal sects relied on their profound martial arts prowess. Many times, the dynasties in the lower realm would not even be able to discover the masterminds behind the scenes. They would then be led to disintegration or decline.
This was also because the higher realm's immortal sects were unwilling to see a dynasty that was too prosperous and unified.
It would be fine if such a dynasty were to last for a few years or a few decades. However, if it were to exceed a few decades or a hundred years, the countless resources from the lower realm would gradually become a threat to the higher realm. Even if the threat was insignificant, it was still something that many immortal sects were unwilling to see.
Moreover, in the process of disintegrating the dynasty, they would be able to earn a tremendous amount of benefits.
The junior martial brother with thick brows and big eyes said, "Hehe, there's no need for us to kill all of them when we head to Miracle World this time around. We just need to make sure that they don't return. This eastern punitive expedition is made up of the imperial court's elites, and there's no lack of Divine level experts among them. With their assistance and our martial arts, it'll be enough for us to flatten the Western Land. "When the time comes, we can also try heading to the outer realm and strive for tier seven of the Divine level there."
The feminine senior martial brother smiled. "Although the barbarians in the Western Land don't know the path to longevity, the Knights' martial arts also have their merits. Don't underestimate them too much."
