All People: I Slay Gods with Martial Arts

114: Chapter 113 Rebuilding the Imperial CourtIn the silence, Ye Xiu suddenly recalled the Donghuang’s final words.

”Is my future filled with bloodshed? Why not be a little bolder?”

It seemed highly likely that he would have to embark on the path of proving his Dao through slaughter.

”Is the General unwilling to help?”

A trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Ji Xingyue’s eyes, and her slender fingers gripping the teacup trembled slightly and unconsciously.

Ye Xiu did not notice this subtle change.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded and asked, ”When do we set off?”

”In a month.”

”Very well.”

”Thank you, General.”

Ji Xingyue rose and bowed again before disappearing from the small house.

Ye Xiu said nothing in response.

He walked out of the house.

Before his eyes was the scene of his little disciple absorbing Spiritual Qi and Cultivating.

”The aura is unstable, the Foundation is too shallow.”

He shook his head inwardly. After watching for a while longer, he rose into the air and vanished into the horizon.

...

...

Outside the Kunlun World, across a vast territory of hundreds of millions of miles, gathered the vast majority of the Human Race from the various heavens.

These tribes, once oppressed by the myriad races of the heavens, had been rescued by the Imperial Court established by Xing Mu after the connection to the Main World.

They built new kingdoms outside the Kunlun World.

The number of these humans was incalculable.

The cities they had built alone numbered in the tens of thousands.

And a majestic, massive city located outside the Kunlun World was the only Imperial City among the Human Race: the Star Imperial City.

In addition, on the periphery of the Kunlun World, there were thirteen Human Realms belonging to the Human Race, distributed around the Kunlun World.

Today was the day of Xing Mu’s coronation as the Star Emperor.

She sat high upon the Imperial throne, a Human Emperor’s robe covering her entire body, and the terrifying pressure of the Imperial Dao shook the heavens and the earth.

Below, millions of Advanced soldiers of the Human Race knelt, their eyes filled with a fiery, fanatical worship, as if believers witnessing a True God.

Their faith transformed into Luck, gradually forming a golden glow that illuminated the entire Imperial City.

At this moment.

The thirteen Human Realms and tens of thousands of grand cities also possessed soaring Luck that covered the heavens and the earth.

Connecting with the Luck of the Imperial City, it formed a golden glow that blanketed the world.

The auras of the seven Human Race Heavenly Venerables surged violently.

They stood below the Imperial throne, each reciting ancient coronation vows.

”Year 1 of the Xingyuan Calendar. The Human Race, with its ten thousand cities and thirteen Realms, establishes the Star Imperial Palace and rebuilds the Imperial Court.”

”Since the Ancient Era, the Human Race has governed the heavens... suppressing the strange, slaying decayed taboos, and saving the heavens from fire and water.”

”However, the rebels of the heavens launched an insurrection during our Imperial Court’s time of crisis, causing our Human Race to suffer immeasurable hardship.”

”Now that the Star Emperor has ascended to the throne, all who bow and submit, and slay the rebels, shall have their past transgressions forgiven, and be spared the crime of clan extermination.”

”Reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworlds, the Imperial Court is re-established, and the rules are rewritten.”

”The Star Emperor holds the Heavenly Dao, and all under heaven shall honor her.”

As the final words fell, the world trembled slightly.

Rules were being re-established one by one.

The aura of the Dao was gradually perfecting itself; because of Xing Mu’s rebuilding of the Imperial Court, this world seemed to be ushering in another tide.

A long time later.

Xing Mu slowly stood up from the Imperial throne.

Her cold voice was extremely indifferent: ”I have established the Star Imperial Palace in this world and hold the Heavenly Dao of the Great World. From this moment on, the order of the Ancient Imperial Court is over, the era of the Human Emperor is over, and the prosperous age of the Star Emperor begins.”

Her words permeated through the Kunlun World and rang throughout the myriad worlds of the heavens.

Ancient beings awakened from their slumber, traversing the endless void, looking at the golden glow in the Main World, all remaining silent.

From the end of the Ancient Era to the Age of Dharma Decline, only a few Heavenly Venerables had succeeded in opening the Dao and becoming Immortals.

These Immortals among the powerful races of the heavens were basically beings who had survived the wars of the Ancient Era.

Their gazes pierced through the endless void.

Looking at the Empress on the Imperial throne, their hearts were shaken and filled with trembling.

It was her, Venerable Mu!

A Supreme Realm powerhouse comparable to the Human Emperor.

An ancient titan whose reputation surpassed that of the Blade Master and the Great Heavenly Venerable.

During the Ancient Era, many of them had gone to pay their respects to this Supreme Realm powerhouse.

Unexpectedly, after countless years, this being who was rumored to have perished had actually revived.

Just as these Immortals were worrying, the world shook.

The River of Time tore through the barrier of the world and appeared within the Main World.

”Granted.”

With the falling of this majestic voice, the River of Time disappeared once again.

Then the heavens and earth shook.

The Luck filling the sky condensed into a golden seal, which slowly flew into Xing Mu’s hands.

This was the Luck of the Imperial Court, sent out by the Human Emperor from the River of Time.

The coronation ceremony concluded.

The Imperial Court officially entered the era of the Star Emperor.

”Rebuilding the Imperial Court, congratulations.”

High in the firmament, Ye Xiu had witnessed everything.

When the River of Time opened, the aura of the Human Emperor might have been difficult to perceive when his Realm was low.

But after proving the Dao and becoming an Immortal, that aura, as terrifying as an abyss, was extremely shocking; even across the River of Time, Ye Xiu felt a sense of suffocation.

He felt a faint sense of worry.

With the Imperial Court rebuilt, the Heavenly Dao in the darkness of this Main World seemed to be controlled by Xing Mu.

Yet that woman, Ji Xingyue, was thinking of destroying the Heavenly Dao and plotting to annex the Main World.

As a member of the Age of Dharma Decline, he naturally did not wish to see a conflict erupt with the Ancient Imperial Court.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

After Ye Xiu’s voice fell, Xing Mu in the Imperial City did not respond immediately, but only after she had finished handling the succession ceremony did she send out a voice: ”Since you have come, come down and sit.”

Ye Xiu was not polite either; with a step, he vanished from the firmament.

Star Imperial Palace.

Inner Hall.

In the cold, quiet hall, only Xing Mu was present.

She sat on a chair crafted from Divine Stone, quietly sipping tea.

After Ye Xiu entered the inner hall, he was not polite either, pouring himself a cup. Smelling the rich fragrance, he could not help but sigh softly: ”Good tea.”

”If it is good tea, then drink more.”

”Hehe... actually, I came to see you this time to ask about some things.”

”Speak.”

”Where did the Blade Master suppress the source of the strange, and where was it sealed?”

”The Ancient Land of Samsara.”

”The Ancient Land of Samsara? What kind of place is that?”

”A place that evolved after the death of a Supreme Realm powerhouse from the Taichu Era.”

”Is there a Fengdu Ghost City there?”

”Why are you asking so much?”

Xing Mu set down her teacup, a trace of impatience in her eyes.

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why this neurotic woman had suddenly become impatient.

He pondered for a few seconds before saying, ”I intend to go beneath the Ghost City.”

”You had best not go; that Evil Intent is far more terrifying than you imagine.”

”Evil Intent? The source of the strange... but I have a reason to go.”

”Then I can only wish you success.”

In Xing Mu’s cold voice, there was a sense of utter detachment.

Ye Xiu looked at the aloof Empress before him and shook his head slightly; the tsundere, cute girl from a hundred years ago would perhaps never appear again.

He sighed softly.

He did not say much more.

Since the other party was unwilling to talk, he could not be bothered to continue the conversation.

He rose and took a step, instantly crossing countless miles to return to Xingluo Mountain.

Just as he stepped onto the mountaintop, Xing Mu’s cold voice reached his ears.

”The Evil Intent was suppressed by the Heavenly Blade; Sword Lord Li Si once left a trace of Saber Intent within its body. If it is an absolute last resort, find a way to draw out that Saber Intent.”

”Remember, stay in the Reincarnation for at most one month, otherwise there is a possibility of being subjected to Possession.”

”Within Fengdu City, it is absolutely safe.”
