321: Chapter 321 Formal Takeover of the Great Xia Kingdom
Time once again reached the early hours of the morning.
With a thought from Chen Hu, the System interface appeared.
Last night at this time, the number of underlings was 854 million, but tonight, the number had reached 1.087 billion.
The growth rate had clearly dropped by quite a bit.
But that was normal.
After all, there were still many underdeveloped areas in the entire country, and perhaps they didn't even know that Great Yong had become Great Qian.
Suddenly, Chen Hu felt a stir in his heart.
He immediately pulled up the System Mall.
With the addition of 1.087 billion underling points, the total number of underling points reached 1.74 billion.
He entered in the search box: A technique or item that can make one's voice heard across the world.
He clicked search.
Quite a few techniques and items appeared on the page.
Chen Hu browsed through all these techniques and items.
Among them was one called Amplification Technique; when cultivated to Perfection, it could allow one's voice to spread across a radius of ten thousand miles.
There was also a type of Talisman called a Sound Transmission Talisman.
One could record their voice into the Talisman, and upon releasing it, the sound could spread across a radius of three thousand miles.
There was also a technique called Heavenly Thunder Sound Transmission, which had a deterrent effect; when cultivated to Perfection, the voice could spread across a radius of five thousand miles.
In the end, Chen Hu chose to use the Amplification Technique.
Although it could only cover a radius of ten thousand miles.
It didn't matter, he could just go to a few more places to shout.
He clicked to purchase.
10,000 underling points were deducted.
Not bad, it was that cheap.
After all, the Amplification Technique was not an attack technique, nor was it a Spell, so naturally, it wasn't valuable.
Subsequently, Chen Hu took out an enlightenment card and locked it onto the Amplification Technique.
The next moment, Chen Hu was pulled into the Cultivation world, and under his Master's guidance, he cultivated the Amplification Technique.
Only ten days passed.
He was kicked out of the Cultivation world.
Because the Amplification Technique was a rankless technique, even someone at the Qi Refining stage could easily learn it.
With his Comprehension Ability, ten days were more than enough to Cultivate it to Perfection.
He looked at his underling points again.
He was still over 200 million short of reaching 2 billion.
In other words, tomorrow he would have enough underling points to reach a Breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Realm.
Subsequently, Chen Hu took out a good luck card and activated it.
He obtained five times good luck.
Then, he opened all his material and item cards in one go.
He then activated a connection card and obtained a D-Rank connection.
He gave up on it directly.
He activated a Lifespan card and obtained 8 years of Lifespan.
He activated an identity card and obtained the identity of an ordinary person. After Chen Hu converted and browsed the other person's memories, he switched back to his own identity.
He activated an intelligence card.
Today's intelligence: Long Yuqing had already sent news back to the Seven Emotions Sword Sect that the Heavenly Demon Sect had discovered a Small World. The Seven Emotions Sword Sect attached great importance to this and was preparing to unite with other Righteous Path Schools to cause trouble for the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Seeing this news, Chen Hu's eyes lit up.
If the Heavenly Demon Sect was busy dealing with the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, wouldn't they have no time to find the coordinates of this world?
This gave him some buffer time.
After opening the cards.
Chen Hu went to the Empress's sleeping quarters.
Although Xiahou Jing had become the Empress, she still Cultivated very diligently.
After being baptized by Chen Hu, her Aptitude had been greatly improved.
Therefore, her progress was very fast.
Her cultivation had already reached Late Stage Marrow Refining.
"Your Majesty, you've come!"
Learning of Chen Hu's arrival, Xiahou Jing immediately greeted him, hugged Chen Hu's arm, and said: "Are you hungry? Should I arrange for someone to bring some food?"
"That works, just have someone bring some wine and dishes, and we can have a drink."
Chen Hu laughed.
Before long, a palace maid brought side dishes for drinking.
Chen Hu also took out a bottle of spirit wine and began drinking with Xiahou Jing.
After chatting for a while.
Xiahou Jing said somewhat hesitantly: "My older brother came to the palace to see me today."
Chen Hu said thoughtfully: "Did he have something he wanted to ask of you?"
Chen Hu had also seen the former Crown Prince; he looked completely like a doddering old man.
"He mentioned how Father became younger, and I fear he has some thoughts, but I didn't promise him anything!" Xiahou Jing said.
"It's fine. No matter what, he is still my brother-in-law. Tomorrow, I will go and extend his life for a few years!" Chen Hu said dismissively. Opening cards tonight, he happened to get another 8 years of Lifespan.
Upon reaching Nascent Soul, one possessed 5,000 years of Lifespan.
And what Chen Hu had forged was a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, which directly increased his Lifespan by 10,000 years.
So, he really didn't care about the Lifespan obtained from the System.
And breaking through to Soul Transformation would increase his Lifespan by another 10,000 years.
He was not going to condense an ordinary Primordial Spirit, so the added Lifespan would definitely be more than 10,000 years.
Therefore, he cared even less about a mere few years of Lifespan.
After eating and drinking.
Xiahou Jing personally served Chen Hu as he washed up.
With the idea of saving water, Chen Hu pulled her in to wash together.
Time flew, and it was soon early morning.
When Chen Hu arrived outside the Chaotian Hall.
A group of civil and military officials were already waiting there.
After returning from Great Xia Kingdom yesterday, Chen Hu had summoned Prime Minister Xie and the others to discuss matters and selected a group of civil and military officials to go and take over Great Xia Kingdom.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Xie took the lead in saluting.
"No need for formalities!"
Chen Hu raised his hand in a gesture of support: "You should all be clear on the matter; let's set off now!"
Chen Hu released his magic power to sweep up the group, and then took a step.
He vanished from within the Imperial Palace.
Reappearing, he had already arrived in the Imperial Palace of Great Xia Kingdom.
A sweep of his Divine Sense.
There were no ambushes in the Imperial Palace; clearly, the people of Great Xia Kingdom were not being stupid.
Come to think of it, that made sense.
Thirty-two Gang-Refining Experts had surrounded and attacked him, yet couldn't even damage his skin.
Even the stupidest person would know that relying on numbers was useless.
Furthermore, the brutal killing methods Chen Hu displayed yesterday had also left them terrified.
Not only was there no ambush on the Great Xia Kingdom side, but Xia Changchi, who had ascended the throne in a rush yesterday, had already brought the Great Xia Kingdom officials to welcome him before the main hall.
"Greetings, Supreme Emperor!"
Seeing Chen Hu appear, Xia Changchi immediately bowed down.
And the civil and military officials behind Chen Hu revealed an expression of sharing the honor.
Their own Emperor was simply too powerful.
Recapturing Great Xia Kingdom was so easy.
Wouldn't it also be easy to recapture Great Zhou Kingdom and Great Qin, thereby unifying the world?
Next was the transfer of power.
To prevent this group of civil and military officials from having no one to use.
Chen Hu purchased 500 Puppet officials from the System Mall to run errands for them.
At the same time, he summoned twenty thousand Rank 5 Black Armor Cavalry and twenty thousand Rank 5 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry from the army card, as well as five thousand Rank 6 Black Armor Cavalry and Great Snow Dragon Cavalry each.
The handover matters.
His subordinates would handle them naturally.
Chen Hu pulled Xia Changchi aside to chat.
"Changchi, do you intend to go to the Great Qian capital to live with me, or stay here?"
Xia Changchi was stunned, looking at Chen Hu in astonishment: "Your Majesty, can I still stay here?"
"Do you think you could stir up any trouble?" Chen Hu looked at Xia Changchi with a half-smile.
"That is true!"
Xia Changchi said with a bitter smile: "With Your Majesty's methods, even if I wanted to rebel, I reckon no one would dare follow me."
"It's good that you know!"
Chen Hu smiled: "Therefore, you can go wherever you want to be a carefree king; as long as you don't rebel and don't commit any major crimes, I won't bother with you!"
"Then many thanks, Your Majesty!"
Xia Changchi got up to salute again, but was pressed down by Chen Hu: "That's enough, I don't care for these empty formalities."
"Your Majesty, I think I will go to the Great Qian capital with you; being closer, I can see what other miracles Your Majesty will be able to create in the future!" Xia Changchi said, pondering.
"You will see!"
Chen Hu said meaningfully.
