Chapter 534 - 86: Peace Reigns, But it is Not a Golden Age
Jiang Fugui returned the spirit stones, holding his great-grandson as he walked home, surrounded by the bustling market where immortals and mortals intermingled.
A young boy, half-grown, cried and tugged at his clothing, asking, "Great Ancestor, are we really finished?"
"Yes, we are done for."
Jiang Fugui nodded without hesitation.
"Millions of spirit stones, dozens of sects under the Pill Alliance, and the myriad factions involved in cultivating spiritual medicine, transporting, and procuring—all have become a chaotic mess."
He couldn’t help but sigh, his somewhat chubby face showing hints of weariness.
"It all started with our Jiang family. I had warned them repeatedly, but as soon as I was gone, everything fell apart."
Jiang Fugui had always known that the Daoist Sect was extremely poor at managing finances; after all, such a governing machine had never existed before.
Being the first to take the plunge, maintaining martial rule alone was already extremely difficult for the Daoist Sect; how could they possibly plan everything out like Daqian?
Moreover, even if the sects obeyed commands, the human regions in the Cultivation World were a thousand times larger than Daqian, with endless conflicts.
