93: Chapter 93: Great Separation from All Living Things, Everyone Enters Heaven
After a life-and-death battle, Tianshui City began to rebuild, and all the Mortals and low-Rank Cultivators in the city cheered with joy!
The Eight Great Dynasties attacked simultaneously, and it was initially believed that the Great Li Dynasty would cease to exist and they would not escape a tragic fate. Unexpectedly, their Great Li Dynasty actually won.
Behind all of this was the legendary figure, Jiang Xuan. It was he who turned the tide, single-handedly annihilating tens of millions of troops. Those kings and emperors, who were high and mighty and incredibly powerful in their eyes, were no match for Jiang Xuan!
As news of the Battle of Tianshui City spread, the entire Great Li Dynasty began to boil with excitement!
All the suppression and unease of the past month were swept away, replaced by endless ecstasy.
The common people began to hold various joyful activities to celebrate this victory. They started erecting statues of Jiang Xuan, almost every village and town had one.
Stories about Jiang Xuan began to circulate among Mortals and Cultivators, and whenever a new one appeared, it would be snatched up immediately.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan was not only the legend of the Great Li Dynasty but also its savior, the deity in the hearts of all its people!
In Qinglin City, within a wealthy mansion, a slightly plump middle-aged man said to several servants, "Go, move that statue of the God of Wealth for me."
Before long, the offering table was empty. The middle-aged man carefully held the statue from a nearby table in his hands. Upon closer inspection, it was identical to Jiang Xuan.
With a devout expression, the middle-aged man had spent a fortune to commission this statue of Jiang Xuan. He respectfully placed the statue down, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and murmured, "Lord Jiang Xuan, bless my Yun Family with abundant wealth and keep evil spirits away!"
The servants behind him also secretly bowed a few times; this was far more effective than any other god.
In a small village, a five or six-year-old child wielded a wooden sword, constantly practicing. Sweat dripped from his body, and a hint of determination was on his tender face.
Beside him, a middle-aged woman looked at the child with loving eyes. "His father, he's been practicing all morning and hasn't rested. He might hurt himself."
The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with gratification. He then glanced at his wife. "A doting mother spoils her child, what do you know? How can one Cultivate without enduring hardship? Da Niu wants to be like Lord Jiang Xuan in the future, that's a Heaven-Defying ideal."
"When Da Niu gets a little older, I'll send him to a martial Dao Family in the city to Cultivate."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's eyes showed worry. She returned to the house and bowed to Jiang Xuan's statue. "Lord, please bless my son with peace and safety."
...Such scenes occurred in almost every corner of the Great Li Dynasty, truly becoming a household name.
In Tianshui City, at the City Lord's main hall, Jiang Xuan sat in the main seat. Below him were the high-ranking officials of the entire Great Li Dynasty. Several people looked at Jiang Xuan, their eyes filled with a mix of complexity and awe.
Jiang Xuan looked at the crowd. "Everyone, the Eight Great Dynasties have been completely annihilated, and their kings are dead. This is a time when they are without a leader."
"It's time to incorporate them into the Great Li Dynasty's territory!"
At these words, the excitement in everyone's eyes was undeniable. The territories of eight Dynasties—it would be false to say they weren't tempted.
Chu Potian, however, frowned slightly. "Jiang Xuan, it might not be easy to annex the Eight Great Dynasties in a short period. Don't forget, there are still many Sects within those Dynasties. With the strength of our Great Li Dynasty, it's a bit difficult."
Jiang Xuan smiled and looked at Chu Potian. He had exchanged a healing holy medicine in the System Mall, which completely eliminated the side effects of consuming the Bloodthirsty Pill.
"Don't worry about that. I will raise your strength by one Rank in a short period, without any hidden dangers."
Chu Potian was greatly shocked. Raising strength in a short period, without any hidden dangers—could it be the same Rank as the Medicinal Pill that cured him?
The remaining few also trembled, all looking at Jiang Xuan, their eyes filled with doubt, not understanding what method Jiang Xuan would use to enhance their strength.
Jiang Xuan smiled mysteriously, then waved his hand. Dozens of white jade tokens appeared in the air. Then, Spiritual Qi surged, moving the tokens before everyone's eyes.
"Everyone, try activating the tokens with Spiritual Qi."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, several people took the tokens without hesitation, releasing Spiritual Qi from their hands. In an instant, dozens of light beams appeared, and everyone instantly vanished from their original spots.
Within the Celestial Realm, dozens of figures appeared. They observed their surroundings, then suddenly exclaimed, "Hiss! Such dense Spiritual Qi, what is this place?"
As soon as they entered, everyone was shocked by the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the air.
The most astonished was Chu Potian. He had been to a Holy Land, and the Spiritual Qi there was far less dense!
At this moment, Jiang Xuan appeared among the crowd. "Everyone, for the next month, you will Cultivate here. The time here is different from the outside world; ten days inside is one day outside."
At these words, everyone was greatly surprised. They had never seen such Heaven-Defying methods. Changing time? This… was Jiang Xuan a Reincarnation of an immortal? Their gazes towards Jiang Xuan became even more respectful and mysterious!
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he took out dozens of Medicinal Pills, giving one golden Medicinal Pill to Chu Potian and distributing the rest to the various prefecture lords and Yang Lin, among others.
"These are King-Breaking Pills and Emperor-Breaking Pills, which can allow a King at Perfection and an Emperor at Perfection to unconditionally Breakthrough to the next Realm."
"What!"
Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, everyone exclaimed, their hands holding the Medicinal Pills trembling, almost dropping them.
"Are such precious Medicinal Pills really for us?"
Yang Lin's white beard trembled with his face as he looked at the Medicinal Pill in his hand in disbelief.
"Of course," Jiang Xuan said with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Xuan's reply, everyone shed tears of joy. They never expected to be able to enter the King Realm in their lifetime. Most of them were already quite old, with not much Lifespan left. Based on their talent, their current Dharma Aspect was already their peak.
Jiang Xuan was giving them a chance at Rebirth; this was a Heaven-Defying kindness!
Dozens of people hurriedly bowed to Jiang Xuan in gratitude. "Thank you, Lord Jiang Xuan!"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, gently lifting the crowd with Spiritual Qi. "You will Breakthrough here. In a month, the Eight Great Dynasties will be yours."
After speaking, he left the Celestial Realm.
The crowd watched Jiang Xuan leave, then their expressions became excited, and they eagerly began to Cultivate on the spot.
At night, in a quiet part of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Yuntian, father and son, sat in the courtyard.
"Xuaner, you said there was something important. What is it, exactly?"
Jiang Xuan did not answer. Instead, he released the Emperor Bone from his body. The surrounding fire elements instantly became restless, and the light emitted by the Emperor Bone illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.
"This is..."
Seeing the Emperor Bone in Jiang Xuan's chest, Jiang Yuntian stood frozen, his eyes lost in some memory. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but his hand stopped halfway, trembling uncontrollably, unable to move forward.
Seeing Jiang Yuntian's reaction, Jiang Xuan thought, "Father indeed knows the origin of the Emperor Bone."
He asked, "Father, wasn't this bone of mine identified as a Spiritual Bone back then? What exactly happened?"
After a long while, Jiang Yuntian recovered and sighed. "Alas, Qing'er, perhaps this is fate!"
