394: Cultivation level improved, reaching the fourth level of the Golden Body Realm.

The Imperial City became even livelier.

Merchants grew in number, most of them from other Imperial Dynasties.

Along with them came envoys from the twenty dynasties!

What did this signify?

All the people of Great Qi knew it was entirely due to the Western Frontier battle, where the Great Qi Dynasty achieved a great victory!

The twenty dynasties were utterly defeated!

Tens of millions of troops suffered heavy casualties, with less than one in ten returning!

This was the price of war!

In the past, envoys from the dynasties surrounding Great Qi were few, and those who came were arrogant, but now, the foreign envoys appearing in the Imperial City all had to behave themselves!

As for why these envoys came?

Naturally, they feared that Great Qi would now leverage its great victory in the Western Frontier to conquer the twenty dynasties!

They all came to seek peace!

The Great Qi army had not withdrawn; only a portion of the generals had returned to the capital to report.

The Eight Directions Dragon Suppressing Division, Three Departments Experts, and Cultivators from the Jianghu were still stationed in the Western Frontier...

Li Tongshen had returned; he had been in the Western Frontier for nearly two months.

This time, facing demon and ghost Cultivator experts, he had gained great renown. If he hadn't received news from Shen Tianxing, he probably would have stayed in the Western Frontier for a longer period.

"Mister Li!"

"Mister Li, are you going to see Your Majesty?"

"Congratulations, Mister Li! Your Majesty will surely reward you handsomely this time!"

As soon as he entered the Imperial City, Li Tongshen met many ministers who had come to greet him.

These ministers were ordered by Yan Yuzhu to welcome the victorious heroes.

Among those who returned with Li Tongshen were the great generals and old officials like Xuanyuan Longcheng.

Li Tongshen's strength was already top-tier in Great Qi, and his achievements were outstanding, so these ministers held him in great respect.

"You are too kind, sirs!"

Li Tongshen bowed in return as he entered the Imperial City.

At this moment, he was already eager to leave; seeing the Empress was not important, what was important was that he wanted to see Shen Tianxing!

"Lord Situ, Marshal, Lord Xie, Young Master has returned, I shall take my leave first!"

After greeting Xuanyuan Longcheng, Situ Kuanglei, and Xie Tianjian, Li Tongshen left directly.

"Heh! Is this kid that impatient? Minister of Justice Shen has truly trained him well!"

Situ Kuanglei and the others all knew the relationship between Li Tongshen and Shen Tianxing, and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile.

Shen Tianxing's current prestige in Great Qi was unmatched!

Without him, Great Qi might have been annihilated this time!

Even powerful figures like Situ Kuanglei in the court now looked up to him.

Marshal Xuanyuan Longcheng, holding his horsewhip, stroked his beard and said, "How can we fathom Minister of Justice Shen's abilities? How fortunate for Great Qi to have a Minister of Justice Shen! This kid Li Tongshen has truly met a wise lord!"

"Let's go, first to pay respects to Your Majesty, then us old fellows will go visit Lord Shen."

In terms of official rank, the minister of justice was once on par with them.

But now, it was completely different!

The great achievement Shen Tianxing had achieved in the Western Frontier was unprecedented!

Even the former powerful figures would now treat him with utmost respect.

The victorious generals continued into the Imperial City, heading towards the imperial palace.

They all had to meet the Empress; with the Imperial Dynasty's great victory, merits would be rewarded!

This was their moment to enjoy glory!

...Shen Tianxing stayed in the old Shen family residence for half a month.

During this time, apart from entering the imperial palace on the first day to heal Yan Yuzhu, he never left the Shen residence again.

Liu Xianyun, Shi Linglong, Xing Yao, and the other women also stayed at the Shen residence.

Fortunately, it was a three-courtyard complex with enough rooms, otherwise, it might not have been enough.

Shen Tianxing Cultivated every day, and when not Cultivating, he gathered with the women.

During this half-month, Yan Yuzhu visited twice.

Many ministers from the court also wanted to visit, but Yan Yuzhu blocked them all.

Shen Tianxing was now a different man; he was no longer a minor character in the Prison Suppressing Division, not someone anyone could just meet.

Yan Yuzhu also did not allow these people to disturb him.

Shen Residence, main house.

Shen Tianxing sat cross-legged, true essence surging around him, his Qi like a soaring Dragon, floating around his body.

Mysterious Dao Patterns encircled him, appearing and disappearing.

His aura flickered, sometimes seeming as if it would vanish at any moment, other times surging powerfully like ocean waves!

Within the main house, centered around him, dense cracks continuously appeared. Under the powerful true essence vibrations, space itself seemed to be tearing apart.

"Hoo..."

Suddenly, the aura in the room changed from strong to weak, slowly retracting into his body.

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Shen Tianxing slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

"Golden Body Realm Fourth Layer! Another step forward!"

From entering the Golden Body Realm to the Golden Body Realm Fourth Layer, Shen Tianxing spent over two months.

This seemingly short period of just over two months was not much, but it was achieved by Shen Tianxing expending an unknown amount of experience points!

His nine incarnations had been causing trouble in the Inner Sea, with continuous battles everywhere, and even several Half-Step Golden Body Realm experts from the Four Great Domains had died!

With them constantly collecting experience points, Shen Tianxing was able to continuously Breakthrough and improve.

In the Western Frontier battle, the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators and Half-Step Golden Body Realm experts personally killed by Shen Tianxing were already numerous!

But even that didn't allow him to Breakthrough a Realm.

It wasn't until today, half a month after returning to the Imperial City, with the arduous efforts of his nine incarnations, that he finally Breakthrough his cultivation again.

"Now, if I return to the Inner Sea, there aren't many who can stop me, right?"

Shen Tianxing was very satisfied with his current cultivation.

In the Inner Sea, apart from One Sect and Three Halls, there were almost no Golden Body Realm Cultivators left, unless the Immortal Great Sects behind the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves of the Four Great Domains sent out powerful experts!

Now, he truly had the strength to directly confront the various sects in the Inner Sea!

Don't forget, he also had nine incarnations, each possessing the strength of the Golden Body Realm Fourth Layer. Their strength continuously grew stronger as Shen Tianxing became stronger.

There were no shackles!

Ending his cultivation, Shen Tianxing got off the bed, opened the door, and walked out.

"Hmm? That kid is back?"

As soon as Shen Tianxing stepped out of the main door, he felt a familiar aura rapidly approaching the residence.

The owner of this aura was none other than Li Tongshen!

"He's back at just the right time!"

A smile appeared on Shen Tianxing's face.

Yaochi had been waiting here for nearly half a month, waiting for Li Tongshen to return.

As a member of the great clan that Yaochi belonged to, who had been living outside, now that Yaochi had come, she certainly wouldn't let him continue to wander outside.

Moreover, under Shen Tianxing's guidance, Li Tongshen had re-Cultivated the One Qi Incarnation Technique, and now he had successfully Cultivated five Incarnations, with his strength quickly approaching the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

He was only nineteen years old; in Yaochi's clan, he might not compare to Shen Tianxing, but he was still a rare Genius!

He would definitely be taken back and carefully nurtured.

For Li Tongshen, this was an immense stroke of luck, one he didn't even know about.

But for Shen Tianxing, the benefit was even greater!

He could obtain many messages through Li Tongshen that he couldn't get here.

For example, the Nine Great Forbidden Seas that Yaochi spoke of!
