Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

After obtaining a new secret realm, the Li family became extremely busy. A large number of clansmen entered the secret realm and, under the guidance of the spiritual plant husband, opened up a large number of spiritual fields and planted suitable spiritual objects.

At the same time, some members of the tribe were responsible for clearing out the remaining monsters in the secret realm to prevent the spiritual fields from being destroyed.

In total, tens of thousands of tribesmen worked hard for several years to complete the development of the entire secret realm.

In order to take good care of those high-level spiritual creatures, the family arranged a large number of spiritual plant husbands to be stationed in the secret realm.

Everything is ready, and all we have to do now is wait for the spiritual creature to mature.

Li Zhirui didn't care about these things. After he brought his tribesmen back to Wanxian Mountain, he entered the cave again to practice in seclusion.

He had just made a breakthrough not long ago and had not encountered any bottleneck yet, so naturally he would not think about going out to gain experience. Instead, he would rather concentrate on practicing in order to make a breakthrough as soon as possible.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop!

Emperor Qiankang, who upgraded the Daqian Dynasty to an empire, did not directly kill his brothers and aristocratic families who wanted to overthrow his rule. Instead, he sent them away in a very friendly manner and gave them the complete method of a humane empire.

Qiankang was by no means a soft-hearted person. He did this just to let them help share the pressure of the monks after they established the dynasty.

Although at that time, the Daqian Dynasty had reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the nearby immortal forces.

However, something like an agreement depends on whether both parties need it. If either party does not need it, it is just a piece of waste paper.

The purpose of Qiankang doing this was to prepare for a rainy day.

Although the humanitarian legal network constructed by the dynasty can greatly suppress the strength of cultivators, the immortal way that has been passed down for countless years has no idea how many cards it has and how deep its foundation is.

Moreover, the Daqian Dynasty is the only one left. Once it turns against the Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal Dynasty can concentrate all its forces against it.

By then, the situation of the Daqian Dynasty would be extremely dangerous, and there was even the possibility of its destruction.

Most of the "mortals" who left the Daqian territory from all directions found a place to establish a dynasty.

The reason why they can travel in the dangerous Dongzhou, and some can even walk tens of thousands of miles, and remain safe and sound, is because they are no longer mortals, but beings with extraordinary powers!
Reading classics, enlightening one's mind and seeing one's nature, and generating a bit of righteous energy are called Confucian practitioners; tempering one's body, fighting on the battlefield, and arranging troops can be called military practitioners.

In addition, there are the Legalist monks who are clear about the canonical laws and whose words are as effective as edicts; the Mohist monks who study the nature of things to gain knowledge and are proficient in mechanical equipment, and so on.

Although their method of cultivation requires reliance on the good fortune of humanity to advance, they are no longer mortals who can only wait for death in fear when facing monsters.

anyway!

Those royal families and noble families who left the Daqian Dynasty were not stupid. They knew the purpose of Qiankang's doing this, so they all chose to go to places as far away as possible.

Among them was a prominent family that came to Shajiao Prefecture, only two thousand miles south of Wanzhu Prefecture.

This is a state area where the strength of cultivators is relatively weak. The reason is that there were a large number of dragons that were causing trouble here. As a result, they were too arrogant and were killed by the combined forces of several Wanzhuzhou.

It was a fierce and brutal battle, with heavy casualties on both sides. At the same time, the area, which was originally rich in spiritual energy, had its mountains and rivers shattered, its spiritual veins destroyed, causing a drastic drop in spiritual energy and making it so that no powerful immortal forces were willing to settle here.

But after thousands of years, Shajiaozhou welcomed the Liu family of the Daqian Dynasty!

Relying on their extraordinary powers, a large number of Liu family members killed all the monsters in the area and were admired by the vast majority of local mortals.

So, within a few years, the Liu family naturally established the Liu Dafeng Dynasty, with the current clan leader Liu Chiyang as king, honoring clan leaders of all generations, and establishing the capital in Fengyang City.

Because the Liu family was an aristocratic family that had existed since the beginning of the Daqian Dynasty and had served as officials for generations and accumulated a wealth of experience, their governance skills were superb, the people within the Dafeng territory lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the human fortunes naturally flourished.

Those extraordinary people who had left the dynasty and were unable to make further progress began to break through with the blessing of luck and became even stronger.

But soon, there wasn’t enough human luck to go around!

To be more precise, the internal development of the Dafeng Dynasty had reached its limit.

After all, this is just a state with an area of ​​no more than a thousand miles. Before Liu came, ordinary people lived in dire straits, so the population was naturally not too large.

"Everyone, my Liu family has been here for decades and has been accumulating strength. Now is the time to expand our territory and establish merits for the Liu family and Dafeng!" Liu Chiyang, who already has a head full of white hair, said with full energy.

Although he cannot practice cultivation as an emperor, his body is still very healthy due to the nourishment of humanitarian luck and the dragon energy of the dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to die of old age.

"Dark Dragon Guards, you are responsible for collecting information from all parties nearby. Do you have any directions for development?"

Liu Chiyang looked at the minister wearing the mask with black dragon pattern.

"Your Majesty, the immortal forces in the two thousand miles north of the dynasty are not too strong. The dynasty can take it slowly, but if we continue to go north, we will come to Wanzhuzhou, which has a large number of combined forces. And in the east, there is also a combined family."

At the beginning of the Dafeng Dynasty, Li Zhirui was still in seclusion trying to achieve Mahayana, but he had not made any breakthroughs.

However, even if Li Zhirui has achieved Mahayana, they may still choose this direction, because to the east and south of Shajiaozhou, although there are some small states with weaker strength, they are vassal forces of Dongyuan Sect!
Not to mention the Dafeng Dynasty, even if the Daqian Dynasty was here, they would not dare to take action.

As for the west, Liu came from this direction and had some understanding of the local immortal forces. They knew that they were not the ones they could afford to provoke now.

Instead, we should wait until we have swallowed up the two thousand miles of territory and accumulated development for a few decades, then we can give it a try.

After hearing the Dark Dragon Guard's detailed introduction, none of the ministers present, or the descendants of the Liu family, objected, because this was related to whether they could make further progress and even more so to whether they could become gods after their death.

Those methods of cultivation that rely on the good fortune of humanity have a very fatal flaw, which is that they cannot lead to immortality!

Although as long as the human luck is prosperous, the speed of cultivation is faster than the quick method of the magic way, and even it can be directly conferred, allowing a powerless mortal to instantly become a powerful Confucian cultivator.

Of course, the latter method of conferring titles is for commoners who pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking minister, and exert power through official seals and official positions. Once the official seals are lost and the official positions are taken away, they will become ordinary people again.

But no matter how powerful the force is, it will not increase lifespan.

However, one can be granted the title of God through destiny, which can lead to immortality, but the disadvantage is also great, that is, one's life and property are all tied to the dynasty! There is no way to break free! After the Dafeng Dynasty determined the direction of development, it began to dispatch troops and formed a large army to conquer the local immortal forces.

At first, no one took them seriously, thinking that they were just a group of ignorant and whimsical mortals. But when the Dafeng Dynasty continued to encroach on the land and had pushed the border line to their doorstep, those monks suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Unfortunately, it was already too late when I realized it now!
Those forces, whose highest level of cultivation was only at the level of Lianxu, were no match for the Dafeng Dynasty and were beaten miserably.

Fortunately, the rulers of the Dafeng Dynasty were more cautious and did not directly wipe them out. They simply brought the land under their rule to avoid being discovered by Wanzhuzhou in the north.

After all, the Dafeng Dynasty at that time was no match for the large number of combined forces.

In order to grow stronger as quickly as possible, the Dafeng army only rested for a few months before launching a new round of conquests, and this time, their direction was to the west!

In this process, the Dafeng Dynasty had its wins and losses, but as the land became larger and the population grew, the destiny of humanity became more prosperous, and the network of humanitarian law began to spread throughout the dynasty. The scattered combined and refining forces to the west of Shajiaozhou were no longer a match.

Therefore, in the following decades, the Dafeng Dynasty continued to expand its territory.

Until now, when the third king Liu Bairui ascended the throne, he finally brought the more than 4,000 miles of territory under his rule.

As the third-generation king, Liu Bairui is naturally ambitious and extremely proud. He wants to create achievements that his predecessors did not have; he wants to be remembered through the ages and become a great figure like Qiankang who promoted the advancement of the dynasty!
So in the third year of Liu Bairui's accession to the throne, he launched a war against Wanzhuzhou.

After decades of development and accumulation, the strength of the Dafeng Dynasty has far exceeded that of the combined forces. Although there is considerable pressure to invade Wanzhuzhou, no one chooses to give up.

-

Now let’s talk about now!

"How can a mortal dynasty defeat a combined force?"

Li Taichang's first reaction when he received the news was disbelief, because it was too unbelievable and even a vernacular novel could not write such content.

"Chief, the news is true! I have sent several secret guards to confirm the news, and they all said so." The tone of the Anbu elder was also full of disbelief, but this was the fact, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing his solemn assurance, Li Taichang's doubts were slightly reduced, and he asked, "Do you know any information about that mortal dynasty?"

The elder quickly handed him the intelligence he had recently collected, then sat in a chair and waited for the clan leader to take the initiative to ask questions.

"Are you sure all this news is true?" Li Taichang saw what the Liu family of Dafeng had done over the years in the jade slips and didn't believe it at all.

In fact, if the Dafeng Dynasty had not eliminated a combined force this time, causing the surrounding forces to be terrified, the Li family would not have noticed them.

"The Dafeng Dynasty has a very persistent desire for land. If they take over Wanzhuzhou, then Shanhaizhou, where my family is located, will definitely be their next target."

Li Taichang said in a deep voice: "And after they annex a large amount of land, their strength will be further enhanced. By then, maybe Ruizu will not be their opponent."

The information from the previous few decades was enough to prove the truth of what he said, so Li Taichang suddenly became nervous. The Dafeng Dynasty appeared suddenly, and its growth rate was also very alarming. They must not be allowed to continue to develop, otherwise the situation mentioned in the last sentence would really happen!
"Clan leader, are you planning to join the war? But if Ruizu doesn't come out, the other ancestors of the family may not be able to destroy the Dafeng Dynasty." The Anbu elders were very worried. If an accident happened, the family would definitely suffer.

“So I plan to ask Ruizu to take action and strangle it before it grows up.” Li Taichang said with a firm face.

He will never show mercy to anyone who threatens the safety of the family, even if it is just a potential threat!

Upon hearing this, the Anbu elder said nothing more. Seeing Li Taichang busying himself with his head down, he left quietly.

Not long after, Li Taichang brought two jade slips and hurried to the cave where Li Zhirui was in seclusion, and rang the bell softly.

Li Zhirui, who was absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, couldn't help but frowned and slowly stopped practicing. After about a quarter of an hour, he stood up, put away the formation, and let the person in.

"I don't know why the patriarch came here this time."

"We should never disturb Rui Zu's practice, but the crisis is approaching and the other members of the family are unable to solve it. We can only ask the ancestor to take action."

Li Zhirui waved his hand and said, "No need to do that. As a member of the family, how can I stand idly by when I encounter danger? I just don't know what it is?"

"Rui Zu, you will understand after you read it." As he said this, Li Taichang presented two jade slips with both hands.

Li Zhirui quickly browsed through it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He never expected to see the existence of the Humanitarian Dynasty near his family.

"This will indeed threaten the family." Li Zhirui nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me."

As the person in the family who knows the Humane Dynasty best and even has a complete inheritance method in his hands, Li Zhirui has many ways to deal with the dynasty and make it collapse on its own.

When Li Taichang heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. He believed that with Li Zhirui's ability, he could definitely solve the problem, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I wish Ruizu success and a speedy return."

Li Zhirui nodded, then turned into a spiritual light and left Wanxian Mountain.

He had been in seclusion for many years, and during this period of silence he was tempted to do something, which made him appear particularly positive.

Li Zhirui did not go to the battlefield to help, but sneaked into the dynasty and went to Dafeng, where a humanitarian network had been set up, to suppress his strength to around the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Li Zhirui didn't care, because his strategy did not require much strength.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Liu family through the information collected from the family, Li Zhirui realized the biggest problem with Dafeng, which was that the hierarchy was fixed!
Rather than saying that Dafeng is a country of tens of millions of mortals, it is better to say that it is a larger Liu family!

Except for clerks and the lowest-level officials, who were not descendants of the Liu family and might be commoners who passed the imperial examinations; or who might be some former wealthy people, all other official positions were held by descendants of the Liu family!
In the hall where the king held court, all the ministers were of Liu's descent. Except for the waiters, there were no officials of foreign descent.

And this is the biggest flaw and drawback of the Dafeng Dynasty.

Li Zhirui planned to use this opportunity to achieve his goal and gain a deeper understanding of how the Humane Dynasty operated. Maybe he would have a chance to use it in the future.

After all, as a large number of aristocratic and royal rebels establish dynasties, the conflict with the immortals will intensify, and sooner or later a war will break out! (End of this chapter)
