In summer, the temperature was very high, and the sun was very poisonous. It was the favorite season for martial artists who cultivated fire Xuan Qi. They could absorb the power of the sun to enhance their strength. Other martial artists did not like this season, it was too hot and stuffy, which was not conducive to their cultivation. Regardless of summer or winter, the people in the city had to sell their goods on the streets to earn their hard-earned living expenses.
Da Xia Kingdom had experienced many battles and was much more depressed than before. It was unknown whether it could be restored to its original prosperous appearance.
The current Empress was so young, could she hold up the flag?
After Tang Xiaohan opened the Saint's edict, she issued a few more edicts consecutively. She reduced taxes on all fronts, released a batch of prisoners, improved the irrigation system, and won the hearts of the people. Other than that, Tang Xiaohan also distributed silver taels to the people in the royal city who had been affected by the battle and whose houses had been destroyed, helping them rebuild their homes. These people were all deeply grateful to the Empress, and they all praised her benevolence, righteousness, and virtue. Her position could be considered stable.
Tang Xiaohan used Qiao San Ye as the Prime Minister. Qiao San Ye also recommended a group of proud disciples to fill many important positions in the court. Minister Song's people were all dismissed, and even the officials who were close to Minister Song were beheaded to prevent Da Xia Kingdom from falling into chaos again.
Qiao San Ye was an old minister of three generations, and his ability was unquestionable. His disciples were all real literary heroes, and could bring peace to the country.
As for the generals, Wu Sanhao, who had a different surname, was left in Da Xia Kingdom, and ordered to live in Da Xia Kingdom to prevent them from rebelling again. Cao Jianda was arranged to take over the position of Marshal Wu Sanhao and go to the northwest to stabilize the border. Fen Tianxiong was called back to become the Defender of the City, and Su Yanshuai took over his position. Su Yanshuai's battle strength had been further improved, and he was younger than Fen Tianxiong. He was more energetic, so it was not a problem to let him guard the border.
There was also Yang Wu, who had a different surname, contributed a batch of King Pills to the court. There were Earth King Pills, Profound Congealing Pills, and other extraordinary pills, which gave birth to a new batch of experts to strengthen Da Xia Kingdom's strength.
This series of changes fully demonstrated the Empress's extraordinary ruling methods. She placed people she trusted in important positions, not only allowed Da Xia Kingdom to transition smoothly, but also allowed it to soar again.
Tang Xiaohan didn't slack off on her cultivation because of political affairs. She entered the forbidden grounds of the imperial family and obtained the imperial edict. From there, she obtained the inheritance left behind by the saints of her clan. The speed of her improvement increased by leaps and bounds, and she soon approached the pinnacle of the Human General Realm. After taking a break from political affairs for a few days, she broke through the Earth Sea Realm in one fell swoop and became the youngest queen in Great Xia.
After she broke through to the Earth Sea Realm, she no longer put the imperial family members under house arrest and gave them a lot of comfort. They knew that they could no longer shake the position of the Empress, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They all accepted the arrangement of the Empress. As a group of people who were raised in captivity, it was much more comfortable than being imprisoned in the Cold Palace.
..
Prince Yang's Mansion.
Recently, Yang Wu had been very low-key. After the battle with the people of Purple Cloud Palace and Mount Emei, he had been in seclusion since he came back.
Although his combat power in the Mortal World was very strong, he knew it was far from enough. Meng Bingxue said that the people sent by Purple Cloud Palace and Mount Emei were only the peripheral forces of the Transcendent World. The real experts were much stronger than he imagined. He had to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could face more challenges.
In this half a month, Yang Wu had been cultivating crazily. In addition to absorbing Xuan Qi and accumulating strength, he had also been cultivating the two Heavenly Skills, Dragon Flame Fist and Meteor Sword.
The 'Dragon Flame Fist' was a fist technique that he had obtained from the ghost in the urinal. It was a Heavenly Skill, and when cultivated to the Perfect Stage, it would allow him to unleash a total of forty-nine transformations, accompanied by the appearance of a dragon.
Meteor Sword was a sword skill that Yang Wu obtained from He Zhen's Qian Kun Ring. He found that this sword skill was similar to the Nameless Sword Style. Even if they were not the same combat skill, they might have the same origin.
Before this, when Yang Wu was fighting with the Heavenly Fish Realm, he found that he had too few combat skills that he could rely on. Besides the Yang Family's Spear Art, Barbaric Fist, Dragon Turtle Sea Turning Skill, and Nameless Sword Style, there were no other combat skills that could display his true strength. That was why he worked so hard to cultivate combat skills.
Dragon Flame Fist could only display its power by using firepower. He had Blue Enchantress, and with this fist skill, he could display a strong enough power.
However, Blue Enchantress was the talent of his heart. Its strength was determined by the strength of his heart. Therefore, if he wanted to display the true power of Dragon Flame Fist, he had to continue to strengthen the strength of his heart.
Meteor Sword had a total of four swords. The first sword was Chasing Stars and Moon. The second sword was Stars Like Rain. The third sword was Rainbow Starlight. The fourth sword was Meteor Fall.
This sword skill was about speed. The faster the sword was, the fiercer the sword was. Once it was cultivated to perfection, it would be able to shoot out millions of meteors. The phenomenon would be very shocking.
Yang Wu had used meditation to cultivate these two combat skills to the Great Accomplishment Realm. If he wanted to reach the Perfect Realm, he would have to go through actual combat.
During the process of meditation, Yang Wu's soulforce increased once again. The seven petals and leaves had become even more powerful, and the condensed soul was even more powerful. This was the benefit brought to him by the 《Soul Control Sutra》.
As his soul power increased, the power of his soul eye would become stronger. It was not a joke to kill with a stare.
Half a month later, Yang Wu came out of closed-door cultivation. He used the Soul-Body Fusion Technique to cultivate Dragon Flame Fist and Meteor Sword. He quickly grasped the essence of these two combat skills, and his battle power increased greatly.
After cultivating for a day, Yang Wu closed himself up again. He took out the urinal and asked Little Hei beside him, "Little Hei, are there really ghost cultivators in this world?"
"Woof, woof. When have I, the Celestial Emperor, ever lied to you? The ancestors of the Ghost Clan created the Ghost Cultivation Art with their firm remnant souls. They cultivated their perfect soul bodies and further refined their physical bodies, becoming true ghost cultivators. They have special talents and are very difficult to deal with," Blackie replied seriously.
"Then tell me, if I make the fellow in the urinal become a ghost cultivator, will it be willing?" Yang Wu asked again.
Before Yang Wu went into closed-door cultivation, Little Hei had told him about the ghost cultivators. She had also reminded the soul in the urinal to cultivate the Ghost Cultivation Technique so that the soul could become a ghost cultivator and come back from the dead. It would become a powerful helper for him.
"Is it still up to him to decide whether he wants to or not?" Little Hei asked.
"That's true, but we have to think of a way. Once it succeeds, what if it can't be controlled in the future?"
"That will depend on how far you cultivate the Soul-Mastery Heart Sutra. It is one of the nemeses of ghost cultivators. If you use it well, it won't be able to go against your will."
"Alright, then let's wake it up and ask."
… …
Yang Wu woke the ghost in the urinal. The ghost's condition was clearly much better. It said excitedly, "Did I devour another soul?"
"You've devoured He Zhen's soul. Do you know what that means?" Yang Wu asked.
"It means that my soul is large. It means that I can escape in the future. Little friend, I beg you. Let me devour more souls. If you let me out in the future, I will definitely repay you. If you want a battle technique, I have more here." The ghost said impatiently.
"Very good. It seems that it is willing to do anything in order to be resurrected." Yang Wu praised in his heart. He then said, "In your current condition, it will be very difficult for you to be resurrected. Even if your soul recovers to its peak, you might not be able to reform your body. You also won't be able to take revenge, so why struggle?"
"No, as long as my soul recovers, I will definitely find a way. There will definitely be a way. I am a saint!" The ghost could not accept Yang Wu's provocation and replied excitedly.
"That will be a long time in the future." Yang Wu further provoked the ghost.
The ghost was very sad and depressed. It asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that I can give you a chance to reform your body and help you return to your peak. Do you want to do it?" Yang Wu said.
"I don't believe you. You don't even have a heavenly skill. How can you help me reform my body?"
"If you don't believe me, then forget it. I am not begging you now. Continue to stay in the urinal."
"No, no, I believe you. I believe you!" The ghost had been suppressed for many years. It wanted to escape. It wanted to reform its body. Even if there was only a one in a million chance, it was willing to try.
"That's right. I have an immortal art here that I can teach you. However, you have to swear that after you cultivate it, you will be loyal to me. Otherwise, I will not teach it to you." Yang Wu emphasized.
"Okay, okay. I swear that I, Lei Zongjun, am willing to be loyal to you. Otherwise, I will be struck to death by five bolts of lightning." The ghost hurriedly replied.
"It doesn't sound very sincere, but I am still willing to give you a chance." Yang Wu replied and reminded the ghost, "Pay attention and accept it."
In the next moment, Yang Wu opened his soul eye and a ray of energy flew towards the ghost in the urinal.
The ghost conveniently accepted this strand of energy. After it received the Ghost Cultivation Art, it was abnormally excited. It could feel that this art might really be able to help it reform its physical body. However, in the early stages, it needed to have enough souls to devour.
If it continued to devour other souls before it obtained the Ghost Cultivation Art, the consequences would be very serious. It would cause its soul power to become extremely impure. It could even cause its soul to collapse and die because of the soul's rejection.
This Ghost Cultivation Art could purify the impure memories of all kinds of souls. It could condense the purest soul power and gradually strengthen its soul power. Finally, through other mediums, it could help it reform its body.
However, it found that this Ghost Cultivation Art was not complete. It might only be one-third of it. It anxiously asked Yang Wu, "This art is not complete?"
"Yes, it is not complete." Yang Wu replied.
"Why don't you teach it to me?"
"Your soul power is currently too weak. When you become stronger, I will teach it to you again. Don't worry."
