103: Chapter 103 Using Connections

The extraterrestrial war launched by the Tianxuan Dynasty soon came to an end.

Aside from a few minor setbacks in the Qingmu World,

the other three worlds...

...were officially taken over by the Imperial army as smoothly as expected.

Subsequently,

Wang Chen methodically fused the four worlds with the Xuantian Continent.

From then on,

the area of the Xuantian Continent increased six to sevenfold compared to the beginning!

Furthermore, due to the Cultivation Technique Wang Chen practiced,

the entire Imperial Dynasty...

...saw the cultivation speed of all Martial Artists increase by at least tenfold!

But that wasn't the most important part.

Previously,

most people had limited Aptitude; ordinary Martial Artists mostly lingered in the Body Tempering Realm, and those who could break through to the Houtian Realm were considered geniuses.

But what about now?

With the expansion of the world, the Origin power of the entire world had also increased many times over.

This indirectly led to a significant improvement in people's Aptitude.

Now,

as long as one wasn't exceptionally dull, they could basically Cultivate to the Houtian Realm; with a bit of effort, even breaking through to the Innate Realm was not impossible.

As for Wang Chen,

at the moment the four worlds integrated into the Xuantian Continent, he broke through directly to the Sixth Heaven of the Cave Heaven Realm.

Although he had only opened one cave heaven, Wang Chen was still very satisfied.

After all, he had only annexed four Small Worlds, and every bit of progress in the Cave Heaven Realm required a massive amount of Power of Imperial Fortune.

If annexing a few Small Worlds could truly raise one's cultivation level by several stages,

wouldn't he become invincible before even unifying the entire Borderlands of the Star Domain?

Obviously, that was impossible.

Besides,

with his current strength, he was already invincible within The Borderlands of the Star Domain!

At the very moment the four worlds fused,

the old man and the youth who were originally in the Jiuyuan World were completely dumbfounded.

Especially...

...the elder named Mo Wentian.

As a powerhouse of the Cave Heaven Realm, the changes in the world could not escape his eyes.

It was precisely because of this...

...that his heart was filled with even greater shock and horror!

In his perception, the original Jiuyuan World had been forcibly fused and annexed by someone using great magical power.

Such a situation...

...was something he had heard of for the first time!

One must know...

...even the legendary figures of the Domain Realm would find it difficult to perfectly fuse two completely different worlds in a short period.

Forcing two worlds together might not be difficult—a powerhouse of the Unity Realm could do it!

However,

to make the pieced-together worlds not reject each other and instead become a more powerful new world after fusing,

was not something that could be achieved through ordinary means.

At the very least,

in his knowledge, he had never heard of anyone who could accomplish this!

"Young Master! Why don't we join the Tianxuan Dynasty? Only then will we have a chance to avenge our Family..."

"Grandpa Mo! Can the Tianxuan Dynasty really help us?"

Mo Shaocong asked with some uncertainty.

He had originally thought the Tianxuan Dynasty was a major power from the Center of the Star Domain.

But...

...after hearing Mo Wentian say that the Tianxuan Dynasty was merely a power from The Borderlands of the Star Domain, he felt unsure.

A mere borderland power—no matter how strong it was, how strong could it really be?

"Young Master! You must never look down on this dynasty in The Borderlands of the Star Domain; its strength is definitely beyond your imagination!"

"Besides, Young Master, do we have any other choice?"

"With just the two of us, how long would it take to avenge our Family?"

Mo Shaocong fell silent.

Mo Wentian's words, every single one of them, struck the deepest pain and helplessness in his heart.

He was aware of his own Aptitude; it was uncertain whether he could even break through to the Cave Heaven Realm in the future.

And what about Mo Wentian?

Although he was already in the Cave Heaven Realm, his potential was basically exhausted; unless he encountered a major Opportunity in this life, it would be difficult for him to make another Breakthrough.

With just the two of them,

the hope of reaching a level where they could contend with or even destroy their enemies was slim, perhaps even indefinitely remote.

And time...

...was the one thing they could least afford to waste.

After a long silence,

Mo Shaocong slowly raised his head, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes fading, replaced by a desperate resolve.

"I understand, Grandpa Mo. We... will join the Tianxuan Dynasty!"

"Good!"

Mo Wentian nodded heavily, a gratified look flashing in his eyes.

"Since the Young Master has decided, then we shall go directly to the Imperial City of the Tianxuan Dynasty!"

Having reached an agreement, the two of them did not linger.

After determining the direction, they transformed into two streaks of light and sped toward the center of the current Xuantian Continent, the Imperial Capital of the Tianxuan Dynasty.

Along the way,

they also made inquiries.

To gain a foothold in the Tianxuan Dynasty and receive enough resources and attention, joining its most core and powerful departments was undoubtedly the best choice.

Soon,

they learned of the most prominent institutions within the Dynasty.

First was the Divine Martial Guard, led by Ge Nie and personally commanded by His Majesty.

Second was the Embroidered Uniform Guard, headed by Ji Gang, which monitored all officials and overawed the world.

Third was the massive regular army commanded by General Chu Batian.

These three departments...

...were the strongest institutions in the current Tianxuan Dynasty; anyone who joined any of them would have limitless future achievements!

As members of a great Family from the Center of the Star Domain, their standards were naturally very high.

If they were to join,

they would certainly join the strongest and most formidable department.

"The Divine Martial Guard!"

A flash of longing appeared in Mo Shaocong's eyes.

"As the direct subordinates of His Majesty, if we can join, we will surely be able to reach the core of the Dynasty quickly and obtain the most resources!"

"Indeed! The Young Master is quite right!"

Mo Wentian also nodded in agreement.

"Although the Divine Martial Guard has a very high threshold, requiring at least the Celestial Realm and a strict assessment, your current cultivation is still shallow, Young Master..."

At this point,

Mo Wentian's tone paused slightly, but then a confident light flashed in his eyes.

"However, rules are fixed while people are flexible. Though I am past my prime, my cultivation in the Cave Heaven Realm is right here."

"As an existence in the Cave Heaven Realm requesting to bring an exceptionally talented junior into the Divine Martial Guard... surely the Tianxuan Dynasty will give me this much Face?"

"At worst, we'll join first, and with me looking after you, your growth speed will surely become much faster."

Once they had planned it out, they felt more confident.

The two accelerated their pace, heading directly toward the Imperial City that symbolized supreme power.

What they did not know...

...was that the rules of the Divine Martial Guard were far more strict than they imagined, and their idea of 'pulling strings' was destined to fail.
