It seemed like he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to. Didn't he take the things on the island? Strictly speaking, he was responsible for the battles outside the floating island.
Speaking of which, Mo Tiankong didn't want to be in the limelight. What good would it do to be remembered by others?
However, he was always inadvertently dragged into it. What could he do if he was mentally tired?
Today, with the influence of the grocery store, Mo Tiankong's every move as the store manager was watched by everyone.
If he was low-key and mysterious from the start, others wouldn't be able to see through him. But now, forget about it.
If he really hid behind the scenes, those Saints wouldn't be at ease. After all, Mo Tiankong was also a Saint.
And a Saint who had a weapon that could instantly kill a low level Saint.
Adding on the various mystical items in the grocery store, one could imagine.
After chatting with Shi Yuanbai for a while, Mo Tiankong also took his leave.
"Brother Shi, you just broke through. I won't delay you any longer. You should stabilize your cultivation first."
"Next time you come to the barracks, I'll definitely treat you well."
Shi Yuanbai also needed to stabilize his cultivation, so he didn't keep Mo Tiankong any longer.
"Whoosh"
Mo Tiankong tore space and left.
Shi Yuanbai looked at the spatial fluctuation and watched Mo Tiankong leave.
"Martial Emperors can dominate a region, but they still haven't reached the peak of the continent."
After muttering, Shi Yuanbai also didn't stay for long and entered the side hall's cultivation room.
He needed to have a goal, but he just broke through and needed to spend a lot of time stabilizing his cultivation.
Seclusion was certain. It wasn't like he was in the Martial Disciple realm. He just needed to stabilize his cultivation a little. Once he reached the Martial Emperor realm, he would definitely need a longer time to polish his strength.
His control over his strength would definitely drop a lot after breaking through. Right now, his strength wasn't even comparable to an ordinary rank one Martial Emperor.
After polishing his strength, it would be different. Once he completely grasped his strength, his strength would increase a bit.
If he just broke through now, if there were many peak Martial Saints surrounding him, there would be a chance to kill him.
However, after he completely stabilized his cultivation, it would be very difficult to surround and kill a Martial Emperor.
For example, if he just broke through and his cultivation wasn't stable, he might only be able to use 50% or 60% of his Martial Emperor realm strength.
Even if he was twice as strong as a peak Martial Saint, there was still a chance for him to be killed.
Once he completely stabilized his cultivation, it would be equivalent to having two times the strength of a higher level. Then, it would form an absolute crushing effect, and encirclement would be a joke.
After all, it wouldn't take much time to kill one with a punch. By then, the number of people would be meaningless.
Of course, if one had a special physique, or if one had the physique of a Saint as a Venerable like Mo Tiankong, it was also possible to defeat a Saint.
However, there were very few martial artists who could cultivate both the physical body and the martial way.
Mo Tiankong's physical body was now ahead of his martial arts.
His physique was almost at the peak of Wu Sheng's level. There was not much difference. He had taken two Physique Pills.
On the contrary, his martial arts cultivation had fallen behind. Now that he had the Jade Bones, he wondered if his physical body would continue to evolve after he broke through to the Martial God Realm.
There should also be a transformation. At that time, it was unknown how strong his physical body would become.
With the Jade Bones, he could already withstand space travel. If he evolved once at the Martial God Realm, would he be able to break through the Tianxuan Continent and roam the universe?
Mo Tiankong really wasn't clear about this point. He couldn't make a judgment.
Back to the topic, Shi Yuanbai had thought about it before choosing to advance at this time.
Although the Miracle City was built by the royal family, to be honest, Yan Xiu played a bigger role in this.
Yan Xiu wanted to be on good terms with Mo Tiankong, so he did his best to facilitate this matter.
Otherwise, such a big matter like building a city wouldn't have been decided so quickly.
At that time, Yan Xiu had personally delivered the materials.
As one of the more important sons of the Martial Emperor, Yan Xiu's words carried more weight.
The royal family didn't need to make things difficult for Mo Tiankong. Especially with the groceries, Yan Xiu's role was to speed up this process.
Building a city might not take too long, but the cost of materials wasn't low.
If they could really build a city casually, the Aquamarine Empire wouldn't only have 30 cities.
And this city, strictly speaking, was a move to be on good terms with the grocery store and Mo Tiankong.
After all, at that time when the lottery was opened, there were already a few streets full of people.
So when planning for the Miracle City, it wasn't just the Zhang family's intention to give a large space to the grocery store, perhaps it was also the royal family's intention.
From the Zhang family's attitude towards Mo Tiankong, it could be said that they were definitely supporting him.
Strictly speaking, this city was used to be on good terms with the grocery store and Mo Tiankong. The goal was also to let the grocery store stay in the Aquamarine Empire, to be close to the water!
Just like in ancient China, they gave the land to Mo Tiankong.
There was a reason why they conferred Old Man Zhang as the City Lord. One was because the Zhang family had a good relationship with Mo Tiankong. Another reason was that they were afraid that the City Lord who came out of nowhere would make Mo Tiankong feel disgusted.
After all, it wasn't as comfortable as having someone they were familiar with. And if an idiot came and made Mo Tiankong unhappy, then all of this would be useless.
Fortunately, the Zhang and Ye families were given the position of City Lord, responsible for managing the city.
This point, Shi Yuanbai also understood after coming here for a few months.
Which city in the empire wasn't actually under the control of the empire.
But they gave up all of Miracle City's affairs, not even interfering with the internal affairs.
Shi Yuanbai also saw this point and chose to come to Miracle City to be a small general.
This should be a place where Yan Qing would not interfere too much.
The second point was that as Mo Tiankong became stronger and stronger, even the royal family couldn't do anything.
Who would have thought that Mo Tiankong's strength wouldn't follow the norm. Who could raise their strength by several levels in a month or even a few months?
The royal family didn't even think about this speed of cultivation, although they didn't want to do anything to Mo Tiankong in the beginning.
After all, they guessed that there was a powerful force or expert behind the store.
Now the Aquamarine Empire could only treat Mo Tiankong like a lord.
In any case, Mo Tiankong and the general store still stayed in the empire and didn't leave.
With Mo Tiankong's shadow, perhaps the Aquamarine Empire's royal family wouldn't do anything to him.
Thinking of this, plus the outbreak of the Holy War, Shi Yuanbai was stimulated. He didn't lack talent, so why couldn't he step onto a bigger stage?
Even if the royal family didn't want him, then he would fight his way out, at least he wouldn't hide on this remote coastline.
If everything went smoothly, then what was the point of cultivating martial arts. Martial arts, martial arts, martial arts.
His state of mind finally transformed, breaking the shackles that Yan Qing gave him, so he broke through.
And when he broke through, no one from the royal family came forward, allowing him to break through. It was clear that the royal family didn't want to interfere too much with Miracle City's affairs.
No matter what, there was a Martial Saint Realm expert in Miracle City who could fight a Martial Saint.
Now facing Mo Tiankong, the Aquamarine royal family had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
To be honest, Mo Tiankong himself didn't think of this.
After all, Mo Tiankong's mentality had always been very good, and after seeing a lot of Wu Sheng's experts, Mo Tiankong didn't realize the influence he brought.
When you reached a certain level, even if you sneezed, the warriors below would think for a long time.
Mo Tiankong didn't realize this, because all this time, Mo Tiankong didn't think too highly of himself.
Even if he was selling things in the store, he would help when he was busy and didn't put on any airs.
Now that there were so many shop assistants, he could steal half a day of leisure.
He didn't go to the cashier not because he was arrogant, but because he was really lazy.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye, and a message in the afternoon came to Mo Tiankong's eyes.
He had nothing to do, so he swiped his phone and the news came.
He didn't necessarily need ears to receive the news.
The content was an imperial edict, written by Yan Qing himself.
Opening the video, Mo Tiankong watched it.
The one who sent the edict wasn't an ordinary warrior, but the Martial Emperor Yan Yu. Speaking of which, this guy was beaten up by Auspicious before.
In the video, Yan Yu stood in the air, and opposite him was Shi Yuanbai.
"Shi Yuanbai, accept the edict."
Yan Yu didn't have much of an expression on his face as he said coldly.
Shi Yuanbai raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
Yan Yu didn't care, Yan Qing had said it before.
The edict in his hand shook, and then flew into the air.
The edict became bigger in the air, and Mo Tiankong looked at it. Good stuff.
Although it was only a Heaven Grade weapon, its flexibility far surpassed that of other weapons of the same grade.
Of course, it was inevitable that its effect was single.
After the edict grew to a certain extent, the words on the edict floated out and condensed in the air.
This was relatively simple, and it could even open automatically.
This edict was like a container, and it would open automatically with a little external force.
Another point was that he didn't feel the pressure of the words in the video, but Shi Yuanbai definitely felt pressure when facing it.
The Great Dao behind Shi Yuanbai shook and manifested.
'Is this … testing Shi Yuanbai?'
An imperial edict from a country's Emperor should be intimidating, but forcing out the Great Dao was different.
Looking at Yan Yu's indifferent face, he guessed that the royal family was a little dissatisfied.
It could also be a show of strength, or something else. Otherwise, why would they send a Martial Emperor to deliver the edict?
Moreover, Yan Qing had left power in the edict to force out the Great Dao of a Martial Emperor. An ordinary Martial Emperor would probably be crushed to death.
If Shi Yuanbai hadn't broken through, he might have been killed by mistake.
The golden words condensed in the air, and Mo Tiankong glanced at them.
The general meaning was the same as an appointment letter. After all, it was an edict, which meant that the royal family wanted to subdue and not suppress it.
However, this edict was a little ambiguous.
The general content of the edict was to confer Shi Yuanbai the title of King Zhen Hai, a king of the opposite sex.
This was very rare. The Tianxuan Continent was different from ancient Huaxia.
Generally, there was no king title. After all, there was a Martial King Realm in martial arts, and many powerhouses were called kings.
As for the king title conferred by the royal family of the Aquamarine Empire, it was naturally not something a Martial King Realm martial artist could compare to.
Normally, this kind of title would not be used unless it was one of the founding fathers of a country or a martial artist with great merits. Only then would an exception be made.
These king titles were considered to be slightly inferior to the Emperor's title in the empire, and were very honorable.
It was basically equivalent to being below one person and above a trillion people.
Because Shi Yuanbai had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm, he was the third Martial Emperor powerhouse in the Aquamarine Empire, so Yan Qing also made an exception to give him the king title.
However, this was originally a means of conciliation by the royal family, but this king title was a little special.
King Zhen Hai. Shi Yuanbai hadn't been in Miracle City for long, and he had only been in charge of the garrison for a few months, so he didn't have any merits.
The main reason was that the powerful sea beasts hadn't attacked the coastline during this time.
For ordinary low-level sea beasts, the garrison soldiers were enough to deal with them.
Basically, they didn't step out of the gate, so they should be in seclusion.
Otherwise, although it was easy to re-cultivate, it would take time and resources.
If he really suppressed the sea beasts every day, he probably wouldn't be able to break through his cultivation.
It wasn't a big deal to pardon King Zhen Hai, but the key was that there were additional conditions.
The fief would only be Miracle City and Faraway City.
Even Yan Yu, who was a Martial Emperor, was conferred the title of King Dong Hai after being exposed.
That's right. Since Yan Yu was exposed, the royal family naturally put it on the table.
The appearance of a second Martial Emperor powerhouse in the empire was a sign of the country's strength. Since it was exposed, everyone was well aware of it, so there was no need to hide it.
Therefore, the King of Dong Hai was also conferred the title of King Dong Hai. In name, there were also three cities: Dong Hai City, Yueshui City, and Kang 'an City.
Two of the cities were important cities along the coastline, and the other was a border city near the Northern Xuan Region.
It was impossible for the royal family to seal off the central cities. After all, the benefits were great. The central cities were safe from the invasion of sea beasts, and there was no danger of a realm change. Naturally, they would be more prosperous.
After being conferred the title of King, the cities in the territory were still ruled by the City Lords, but in name, there was an additional superior. Moreover, the cities were taxed, and the three cities were owned by the King.
This was a real benefit. Yan Yu was still living in the imperial capital, but the taxes were still paid to Yan Yu on time.
The taxes of the three cities, even if it was only three cities, easily surpassed the earning power of the Zhang family and the other families.
There was no problem supporting a large family. However, Yan Yu was also a member of the royal family, so it was equivalent to not having any.
However, the royal family still provided cultivation resources and so on. It was equivalent to putting one's left hand into one's right pocket.
In terms of taxes, Miracle City was a sky-high figure. The main point was that King Zhen Hai was supposed to guard the coastline for the empire, and his family was under the care of the royal family.
This sentence was interesting. What did it mean by under the care of the royal family? It was clearly using the Shi family to keep Shi Yuanbai in check.
It was obvious that Shi Yuanbai was supposed to guard the coastline for the empire, stay in Miracle City, and not jump around if there was nothing.
Moreover, the imperial edict mentioned this point. Mo Tiankong could understand it at a glance, and so could the others.
A high official's salary and a hidden threat. It was really well played. It was a bribe.
Moreover, he was not afraid that Shi Yuanbai would not cooperate. This was the royal family giving him a way out. To be honest, Yan Qing was not afraid of Shi Yuanbai who had just broken through.
Even Yan Yu was able to suppress Shi Yuanbai who had just broken through. After reaching the Martial Emperor Realm, it was impossible to quickly increase one's cultivation.
Therefore, he did not have much of an expression when he came to pass the imperial edict.
