Chapter 708 - 697: Huaikong
The common people live in peace and contentment, with clothes to wear and food to eat.
This is what Wuming has always dreamed of.
And now, with the unification of the world,
This goal is being pushed forward at an extremely fast pace.
Wuming naturally wants to immerse himself in it, contributing his share of effort.
After all, at the end of the day, he is also a part of this world.
"Luckily, it is Your Majesty who unified this world! If it were someone else, the results would be unimaginable."
Wuming sighed.
"Indeed."
The Dragon King, Phoenix Dance, and Ghost Tiger all agreed in unison:
"Your Majesty’s divine power is boundless, capable of suppressing the entire world with his own strength! Although there are numerous heroes in the court and all over the world, in the face of Your Majesty, they can only submit obediently! These heroes are highly talented, and under their influence, governance, and management, the changes in the world are advancing rapidly towards an unknown direction!"
"Exactly. If it were someone else, these heroes would definitely be unwilling and rebellious. At that time, wars breaking out all over the world would not be surprising."
Wuming looked towards the depths of the Imperial Palace:
"Now that Your Majesty has grown stronger again, I believe the court will be more stable, and there will be greater cohesion and centripetal force!"
Wuming admired greatly:
"I never imagined that the trajectory of the Jiuzhou World would develop to this point today."
...
It wasn’t just Wuming.
Almost all the officials still in Luoyang were shocked and amazed:
"Your Majesty has already become absurdly powerful. Can he really grow even stronger?!"
"Huaimie."
In the General’s Mansion of Nie Feng, Nie Feng said to a tall and imposing man:
"Your Majesty’s talent is rare throughout the ages. He becomes stronger every moment, which is quite normal."
"I just find it somewhat unbelievable."
Huaimie looked shocked:
"To have already reached such heights as Your Majesty, and still be able to grow stronger. It’s simply unimaginable!"
"Indeed."
Beside Huaimie stood a man and a woman.
The man was heroic, and the woman was charming.
The two were none other than Huaikong and Bai Ling of Iron Heart Island.
At this moment, Huaikong and Bai Ling couldn’t help but praise in unison:
"I personally witnessed Tie Kuangtu wearing the Celestial Tribulation Armor, yet against Your Majesty, he was still no match, being stabbed to death with a single casual sword from Your Majesty. The feeling it gave me was overwhelmingly shocking. It’s unbelievable that such a strong figure as Your Majesty exists in the world!"
"Tie Kuangtu believed that with the Celestial Tribulation Armor, he would be invincible. But that was naive."
Nie Feng shook his head, glanced at the direction of the Imperial Palace, and said:
"Powerhouses like Emperor Shitian are scared into fleeing everywhere when facing Your Majesty, still nowhere to be found. I really don’t know who gave Tie Kuangtu the courage to dare to face Your Majesty head-on."
"But it’s a good thing he did."
Huaimie said angrily:
"This person is ruthless. If I hadn’t bribed some aliens to interfere, he would have killed my master long ago! And the day Your Majesty descended on Iron Heart Island was exactly when Tie Kuangtu was about to kill my master. It can only be said that Your Majesty came at the perfect time. Had he been a moment later, we would have been separated by life and death from my master Yin and Yang."
"Thank Your Majesty."
Huaikong and Bai Ling both bowed towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.
...
...
Ding Ling surveyed the whole world.
On the way, he accidentally arrived at Iron Heart Island, and seeing there were people on it, prepared to take the island effortlessly.
He hadn’t expected there to be people like Tie Kuangtu on the island.
And perhaps due to the island’s isolation overseas, there were only two or three players on it.
These two or three people were even bought off by Huaimie.
This meant that Tie Kuangtu was essentially kept in the dark regarding the players and Ding Ling.
Thus, when Ding Ling arrived at the island, Tie Kuangtu even clamored to effortlessly kill Ding Ling, only to be easily slaughtered by Ding Ling with a single seemingly light sword, and he died in utter disbelief, filled with shock and fear.
After Ding Ling killed Tie Kuangtu,
He subsequently met Huaimie, Huaikong, Bai Ling, and the imprisoned Iron God.
The various incidents during this period need not be elaborated in detail.
After staying for a day, Ding Ling left with Nie Feng and others who arrived on the island.
Iron Heart Island thereby officially announced its integration into the Great Ming Dynasty.
After they joined the Great Ming Dynasty,
They naturally contributed their due efforts in gathering Secret Manuals and Great Medicine for Ding Ling.
To show his loyalty, Iron God even offered the internal and external skills of the Sky-breaking Yuan Hand, as well as the Railway Celestial Mirror!
The Railway Celestial Mirror is a shattering-level forging technique.
After Ding Ling mastered this technique at full level,
He could create Divine Weapons of a level not inferior to, or even surpassing, those like Celestial Sin, Celestial Tribulation Armor, or Greed Wolf Sword!
It is precisely because of this technique,
Combined with other full-level forging and casting skills from different worlds!
Ding Ling then forged several immensely powerful ’Fire Qilin Swords’ and ’Fire Qilin Sabers’ at Luoyang Royal Foundry using Fire Qilin’s scales, meteorite iron left behind by Emperor Shitian, and other secret iron!
The Fire Qilin Sabers and Swords Ding Ling forged had no possibility of demonic influence, only because he utilized the Demon Scripture to thoroughly devour all the demonic power within them.
What remained was only a touch of pure divinity as well as the special attribute power inherent in the Fire Qilin scales.
The few Fire Qilin Swords and Sabers were awarded by Ding Ling to meritorious officials like Divine Calculator, Great Divine Official, Duann Lang, Lü Bu, Guan Yu, Nie Feng, etc.
There were only nine of these swords and sabers.
Those who obtained the Fire Qilin Sabers and Swords, without exception, were the top representatives in the court, so for a long period afterward, the Fire Qilin Sabers and Swords symbolized power!
And as for Little Zhao?
Ding Ling specially melted some top-tier secret treasures, combined with more Fire Qilin scales, to forge the tenth Fire Qilin Sword for Little Zhao! The power of this sword far exceeded that of the other swords and sabers!
For this sword, Ding Ling even endowed it with a bit of the ’Spirit of Sword Mountain’, a spirit originating from the Sword Mountain region of the Sword Realm! Ding Ling deliberately broke in to obtain it.
And Little Zhao’s sword spirit was already at the Great Perfection Level, so controlling such a Spirit Sword was naturally effortless.
Moreover, because the court officials daily advised Ding Ling to choose an empress, take concubines, and fill the harem,
Ding Ling also felt that this world needed to have someone truly of his own left behind.
Seeing Little Zhao’s wholehearted devotion to him, Ding Ling chose Little Zhao as the empress to oversee the backyard of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, commanding the entire palace’s guard team.
At this moment, Little Zhao looked at Ding Ling with a gentle, water-like affection, saying:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on achieving Great Success in Divine Skill."
Ding Ling slightly smiled, saying:
"How is the task I assigned going?"
"The whole world belongs to our Great Ming Dynasty. With the search by aliens and other interested parties, our Great Ming Dynasty’s great army has already located Divine Dragon Island. Once Your Majesty sets off, we can slay the dragon."
"Hmm."
Ding Ling stood up tall:
"Let’s go now."
During this period, he had already read two batches of books.
[Martial Arts Melting Furnace progress: 43%]
Previously it was 31%.
Increased by no less than 12 points.
The number of Secret Manuals evidently played a significant role.
Of course.
There was also no lack of some high-quality Martial Arts Secret Manuals among these books.
