115: Three continents, with the Great Wall built along the coast.

"You mean the Xuanling Realm's Breakthrough and the continent's unification?"

After capturing some Yun Kingdom Deities and transforming them into Netherworld Monarchs, Xia Xuan was not entirely ignorant of this world's situation.

"Your Majesty is brilliant."

Shangguan Yue was slightly surprised, then explained in detail:

"Besides the Five Domains continent, this world also has three super continents, each no smaller than the Five Domains. With the Xuanling Realm's Breakthrough, these three continents will eventually merge with the Five Domains."

"South of the South Sea, there exists a Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, where the Yao Race gathers, with strong intentions of invasion... The Yao Race's demigods might have infiltrated the Southern Border a long time ago."

"North of the North Sea is this world's former main continent—the Xuanling Continent."

"The Xuanling Continent is controlled by the Human Race, with three Imperial Dynasties standing, constantly at war with each other. The war only ceased recently due to the anomaly of the continental merger."

"West of the West Sea is a primordial continent undeveloped by any forces. Over ninety percent of it is primeval forest, where Vicious Beasts and demonic plants reign."

This information was very important to the Great Xia, which had just completed its unification.

"Are you saying... that the continental merger will center on the Five Domains, with other continents approaching it?" Xia Xuan pondered and asked.

Shangguan Yue nodded gently: "Ever since the Divine Dynasty's Luck descended, Tianzhou has replaced the Xuanling Continent, becoming the core of this world."

"Where did the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty go after its entire nation performed Ascension?"

"And why are you telling me this information?"

Xia Xuan's questions were continuous.

Shangguan Yue shook her head with a bitter smile: "Even I cannot know the destination of the cross-realm teleportation array... Given Her Majesty the Empress's temperament, she should have gone to a Major Thousand Worlds to restart her path of hegemony."

"As for why I'm telling you this, Your Majesty, rest assured, it is not a conspiracy or a scheme. It is merely that Shangguan does not wish to see the Xuanling Realm destroyed, and also hopes to have Your Majesty as an aid when the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty ascends to an Immortal Dynasty in the future."

Without waiting for Xia Xuan to ask further, Shangguan Yue continued:

"The Xuanling Continent is falling from the Sea of the Universe, its landing point being the Boundless Barrens... If Your Majesty can grasp the complete World Origin and unify the Xuanling Realm before it completely falls, there is still a small chance to reverse the fall and make the Xuanling Realm drift back into the Sea of the Universe."

"If it falls into the Boundless Barrens... Your Majesty's path to hegemony will become incredibly arduous."

"The Boundless Barrens... is where ancient gods lie dormant, and myriad races contend for supremacy. The Human Race is the least favored among them. Even a super Imperial Dynasty that unifies a Major Thousand Worlds would find it difficult to gain a foothold if it fell into the Barrens, and might even face the risk of annihilation..."

"Your Majesty, I have told you everything I needed to. We shall meet again."

Xia Xuan looked at Shangguan Yue and chuckled: "You're saying so much now, but when I deal with the Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty and the Great Yan Divine Dynasty in the future, I won't show any mercy."

"If Your Majesty can reach that step, everything Shangguan said today will have been worth it."

Shangguan Yue smiled calmly, and her ink Clone dispersed with the wind.

"Yuan Tiangang, what do you think? How much of what she said is true, and how much is false?"

Xia Xuan already had an answer in his heart, but he still asked Yuan Tiangang, who had listened to everything silently.

"I performed a divination in my heart, and what Shangguan Yue said is not false," Yuan Tiangang answered earnestly.

Xia Xuan nodded.

Since they would have to face the impact of the three Imperial Dynasties of the Xuanling Continent and the Ten Thousand Demon Continent in the future, the Great Xia could start preparing now.

The harvesting of tyrant points could not be neglected.

"Order Sima Yi to accelerate the 'Book Burning' process. Collect all the Legacy classics of the Noble Families, Sects, and foreign races in the Western Desert, Northern Plains, Eastern Territory, and Southern Border, and store a copy in the Imperial Palace's Scripture Pavilion. Burn all others. Anyone who resists shall be killed without mercy. From now on, the Great Xia will only allow one type of script!"

"Also, order Meng Tian to dispatch three hundred thousand Qin Elite Soldiers from the Central Army Camp, and conscript Cultivators from the Five Domains to move mountains and fill seas, building a Great Wall along the Southern Border and South Sea..."

Xia Xuan's mind was filled with information from the System Mall. Building the Great Wall was only the first step; to erect a defense line capable of resisting the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, special divine artifacts also needed to be exchanged.

"Furthermore, send people to keep an eye on the Southern Border. If any Yao Race demigods are discovered, report it immediately."

"Yes."

Yuan Tiangang nodded but did not leave. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Five Domains have just been settled. The recent purge of the old aristocrats has already caused considerable unrest. Forcibly taking away the Legacy classics of the Noble Families, Sects, and foreign races... I fear it will shake people's hearts and trigger chaos."

"Chaos?"

Xia Xuan chuckled, "No need to worry. If there's chaos, suppress it. The more, the better.

The Great Xia was founded on martial might. Are the generals afraid of being drowned by the spittle of scholars?

Besides, when those people are brought to the execution platform, how many will dare to risk having their tongues pulled out to continue gossiping?"

"Your Majesty disregards his own reputation and enters the fray for the future of the Five Domains' common people. Truly a wise ruler of all ages!"

Yuan Tiangang respectfully took his leave.

As he departed, Chancellor simultaneously requested an audience.

"Your Majesty, the Talisman Path Academy has made a major Breakthrough in its research on the Thousand Mile Divine Traveling Talisman."

Besides his administrative duties, he also served in the Spirit Talisman Research Institute established by the Great Xia.

"What specific aspect of the Breakthrough?"

The Thousand Mile Divine Traveling Talisman was a top-tier Spirit Talisman created by Xia Xuan using yuanfu mountain. It could transport a large army over a thousand miles in a short period.

Its importance was self-evident.

The only drawback was that yuanfu mountain's output was not high, and Xia Xuan had to expend a great deal of mental energy to create them.

Other Talisman Masters couldn't even copy it.

"Your Majesty, please see..."

"Although the Talisman Masters of the Talisman Path Academy could not perfectly replicate the Thousand Mile Divine Traveling Talisman, they did create the Thousand Mile Swift Traveling Talisman, which has a slightly lesser effect.

When forging treasure ships and warships, equipping them with the Thousand Mile Swift Traveling Talisman can achieve a speed of several thousand miles per hour.

Moreover, it is not a one-time consumable. As long as there are enough elemental stones, it can operate continuously, even reaching speeds beyond its limit."

Chancellor took out a miniature treasure ship and handed it to Xia Xuan for inspection.

This treasure ship could both ride the wind and waves and travel through the air.

After being carved and branded with water-element Spirit Talismans, its speed in the river even surpassed its aerial speed.

"Chancellor, you've worked hard."

Xia Xuan was relieved. With the Thousand Mile Swift Traveling Talisman, the Great Xia could build large warships capable of carrying armies.

"Your subject, I only wish to serve diligently until death."

Chancellor said respectfully.

"Chancellor, please handle one more matter."

"Conscript Cultivators to open the Five Domains' Grand Canal, so that the Great Xia's warships can reach any part of the Five Domains within a single day!" Xia Xuan ordered.

"I obey Your Majesty's command." Chancellor smiled.

Opening the Grand Canal, wasn't this an affirmation of the Talisman Path Academy's achievements?

Afterward, he instructed Sima Yi and Meng Tian to be ruthless and not worry about temporary public resentment, then he washed his hands of state affairs.

He ascended the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, the Star-Picking Tower, and indulged in nightly festivities.

After the Imperial Dynasty's Breakthrough, the profits from his romantic escapades had increased tenfold.
