351: My Ordinary Father

"It's actually a Rare-grade beast! Xiaoyi, use your beast taming card, quickly!"

Reminded by Wu Xiwei, Wen Xinyi finally remembered to use her beast taming card.

However, she threw several beast taming cards at the Magic Flame Baby in succession, but they were all easily dodged by the opponent or the Seal was broken as it escaped.

This was a sign that the beast was unwilling to submit.

With a "hula" sound, flames surged from the horns on the Magic Flame Baby's head, and fire-attribute fluctuations emanated; it was about to use a beast skill.

In the next moment, the useless "Eye Demon" suddenly appeared out of nowhere, standing on Wen Xinyi's shoulder, and let out several gala-gala cries.

Upon hearing these cries, the Magic Flame Baby was first stunned, then quickly quieted down, no longer resisting the beast taming card. It was directly drawn inside, submissively yielding.

If translated, that piece of beast language would be: "Listen up, you little brat. I'm giving you face here. If you don't behave, I'll send you flying right now!"

The Magic Flame Baby's expression was full of fear. Daring not to be naughty anymore, it could only become obedient.

"This... why did it suddenly submit?"

Wen Xinyi picked up the beast taming card in disbelief and tried to establish a Soul link. Unexpectedly, the link was completed in an instant.

Finally, Wen Xinyi had a normal beast!

After finishing his look at the current situation of his Fellow Countryman Wen Xinyi, Li Jinian turned to the next... Hanwu Great World, Yunting Continent.

East Yunting, Mingwu Sect.

"Something's wrong, something's very wrong."

"In these past few years, things have been far too strange."

Inside the Sect's top-tier luxury seclusion room, Zhao Zhen fell into a state of questioning his life.

During these years, he felt things were quite miraculous.

Originally, Zhao Zhen was just a very inconspicuous, minor Outer Sect Disciple within the Mingwu Sect.

Outer Sect Disciples like him were as numerous as ox hairs in the Sect.

However, within these few years, first, the overall strength of the Mingwu Sect expanded, far surpassing what it once was.

Its sphere of influence grew, and the Sect's scale expanded.

As of now, it already possessed tens of thousands of Disciples, and its ruling territory was more than ten times larger than before.

Then, as time passed, strange things gradually started happening around Zhao Zhen.

For example:

When he went to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to pick a technique, the guarding Elder was exceptionally enthusiastic, specifically opening all floors for him to choose any technique he desired.

When he went to the Alchemy Hall to collect his monthly Medicinal Pills, he unexpectedly ran into the Alchemy Hall Elder and was bestowed with nearly ten years' worth of Cultivation pills at once.

While strolling through the Sect, stunning beauties would constantly come forward to show concern and cast flirtatious glances.

Those Disciples who used to come looking for trouble from time to time had all changed their faces; they would bow and scrape whenever they saw him.

Even when he prepared to go out for some tempering, countless Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers with startling strength would rush over wanting to team up, forcibly turning the tempering into a picnic.

If he encountered a powerful enemy outside the Sect, many "unknown stranger Cultivators" would take the initiative to rescue him.

One time was even more ridiculous: just the day after he mentioned wanting to find a certain Heaven And Earth Treasure, he would "just happen" to encounter it, and it would even be in an ownerless state.

Even the many Elders who were once as elusive as divine dragons would, for some unknown reason, always find ways to "accidentally meet him" and provide him with massive amounts of help.

Except for his status still being an Outer Sect Disciple, everyone in the entire Mingwu Sect, from top to bottom, was inexplicably filled with goodwill toward him.

No matter where he went, he was the focus of all focuses.

Buying a Magical Artifact? Discount!

Learning a Cultivation Technique? The Elder would teach him personally!

Running low on Cultivation resources? He'd just pick up a spatial ring from the ground!

It could be said that Zhao Zhen's days in the Mingwu Sect now felt like a dream every day.

Smooth, it was simply too smooth.

The entire Mingwu Sect seemed to have changed completely, making him feel both familiar and strange.

That feeling... was as if some young master from a top-tier power had come to experience life.

However, Zhao Zhen knew he shouldn't be any kind of young master.

This series of events made him somewhat aware that things were not right.

Nevertheless, Zhao Zhen was ultimately an ordinary person; no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out why.

After a brief thought, he chose to set aside his confusion.

His main priority now was how to work hard to become stronger, wanting to raise his cultivation to protect his family.

In this world, the Realms are divided into: Mortal Transformation Realm, Tongxuan Realm, Lingyao Realm, Life Wheel Realm, Formless Realm, Absolute Beginning Realm... After so many years, Zhao Zhen had also become a Cultivator at the third level of the Tongxuan Realm.

This speed could not be considered anything but fast, as he was only in his early twenties, and his talent was already quite startling.

Of course, this was also related to the large amount of Cultivation resources the Sect bestowed from time to time.

Without the stacking of so many resources, Zhao Zhen's Cultivation speed could not have been that fast.

"Now that my cultivation has reached the Tongxuan Realm, it is enough for self-preservation. It is time to set out and make a trip to the Tianli Dynasty!"

"I wonder how that Mortal father of mine is doing now."

However, just as Zhao Zhen walked out of the cultivation room.

From various corners of the cultivation room, more than ten figures with powerful auras walked out one after another. They were all unexpectedly Elders of the Mingwu Sect.

"Did the Eldest Prince just say he wants to return to the Tianli Dynasty?"

"That's right, we must quickly report this to Your Majesty."

...Meanwhile, in the Myriad Desolation Myriad Dynasties.

The Tianli Dynasty—no, it should be the Holy Roman Empire now.

Years ago, the Tianli Dynasty had already changed its name to the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire, Imperial Capital Washington.

The Roman Great Emperor, who was the Fellow Countryman Zhao Zheng, was currently sitting high upon the court, listening to the reports of countless civil and military officials below.

After many years, Fellow Countryman Zhao Zheng finally stopped hiding and officially ruled the world.

"Reporting to the Emperor! Your servant Zhang Huangyan has a petition!"

"On the eastern front, our army has won a great victory, slaying two hundred thousand enemies and reaching the capital of the Datong Dynasty. The Datong Dynasty has sent an envoy to request surrender!"

"On the northwestern front, the Wenlan Dynasty has sent an envoy to declare vassalage, willing to offer their Queen and a hundred concubines, along with three hundred carts of spiritual items!"

"On the southwestern front, our army has conquered and destroyed the Anxin Dynasty, capturing the Anxin Emperor and over ten thousand members of the imperial family."

"The Anti-Holy Roman Empire Alliance, all seventeen member states, have been completely annihilated as of now!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng's expression finally flickered slightly.

A few years ago, when the Tianli Dynasty had just experienced its restoration and changed its name to the Holy Roman Empire not long ago, it was subjected to a comprehensive blockade by fourteen surrounding countries.

It not only faced the blockade of these countries but also had to face their direct military threats.

During the most massive scale, the fourteen countries organized an army of several million and over a hundred thousand Cultivators, approaching the Holy Roman Empire from all directions.

At that time, the Holy Roman Empire's national strength was limited, and it suffered continuous defeats.

If not for the many summoned Famous Ministers who disregarded their lives and fought bloodily for several years, the Empire would likely have fallen long ago.

Seven of the Eight Colonels of the West Garden were lost. The Famous Minister Yao Chong, as well as Gao Shun, Meng Ming-shi, Li Mi, Ban Gu, Liu Rengui, and many other Famous Ministers summoned later, were all lost in this long-lasting war.

As the war progressed, three more surrounding dynasties joined the original fourteen-country Alliance, wanting a piece of the pie.

During the most dangerous time, Zhao Zheng even had to deploy the Great Western King.

And the System was also very helpful, launching emergency gift packs and thoughtfully providing new loan agreements more than ten times to help him through the difficulties.

Although the total loan amount was a bit large, a full five million top-up points with a monthly interest of 1%.

But in order to continue criticizing this sinful otherworldly Realm, Zhao Zheng still gritted his teeth and kept signing and sealing the agreements.

Summon, summon, and summon again!

Powerful military units appeared one after another, and Famous Ministers descended.

As of now, the Famous Ministers who were still alive, besides old officials like Zhang Huangyan and the Great Western King, included new officials like Jiang Wei, Feng Yi, and Yang Ye.

After several years of arduous and bloody battles, the situation turned around, and they pushed back against the Anti-Holy Roman Empire Alliance!

"Announce it! The whole country shall celebrate for five days!"

"Minister Zhang, you handle the other matters. I am tired and have decided to stop the conquests."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Half a month later, various agreements were signed, and the surrounding countries declared vassalage and paid tribute.

The Holy Roman Empire stopped its conquests and returned to a long-awaited state of peace.

A relatively massive super Dynasty stood proudly in the east of the Myriad Desolation Myriad Dynasties.

The expansion in the Myriad Desolation Myriad Dynasties paused, as the fruits of victory needed time to be digested. Therefore, Zhao Zheng needed to shift his strategic focus.

"Dear ministers, our next goal is here!"

In front of a huge map of the Yunting Continent, Zhao Zheng's gaze looked toward East Yunting, which was the East Yunting cultivation world...
