The Great Seminary

Chapter 412 Great Kindness
The True Dragon Kingdom has only been established for ten years, and even though it has begun to popularize so-called "extraordinary ability education" throughout the country due to the characteristics of the "Civilized Path" pioneered by Zhang Gui, it has already achieved remarkable success.

However, cultivation is child's play. Even if one is exceptionally talented, a genius one in a million, one can only become a Class C cultivator in a few years.

The "Regeneration Army" is the foundation upon which the nation exists, develops, and even contends for hegemony in the "Random Tooth Islands," a barbaric overseas land.

Although it is possible to ascend to the heavens in one step, as long as one cultivates and masters extraordinary power.

But there is always a limit to forcing growth; even if one becomes the "leader of ten thousand men," that is, the pinnacle of Class C.

There is absolutely no possibility of automatically and consciously crossing this 'great natural barrier'.

In fact, it would be extremely difficult for Zhang Gui to break through this limit simply by using external force, even if he were to ascend to the 'Heaven' position in the future.

Otherwise, Chi You, the warlord of that time, would not have been defeated by the Yellow Emperor.

But that's just idle talk. To get back to the main point, although the True Dragon Kingdom was 'thriving' from the moment it rose to power, its foundation was ultimately shallow due to the limited time it had.

On the contrary, the Yingri state lasted for millions of years.

Even if they've fallen to the point of being 'a billion jade fragments shattered,' their top-tier combat strength is still considerable; that's what makes them so powerful...

Under the moonlight, the wind howled.

A large hall in Guiyang Palace seemed to shake slightly as if it had been blown away, and then suddenly the whole thing 'exploded'.

It revealed itself to be a massive, red-skinned, one-horned demon, as large as a mountain.

He laughed loudly, "Killing him is your justification, not killing him is also your principle."
You have a reason not to eat, and you have a reason to eat; all the world's truths are in the mouth of someone like you.

The 'small' one speaks with authority, while the 'big' one speaks with absolute authority.

We demons and monsters deserve to die, and if we want to live, we must be at your beck and call.

Damn it, damn it all…”

Seemingly descending into madness, he suddenly raised his fist and slammed it down on Zhang Gui on the ground.

But an immeasurable, invisible force was hindering its movement, causing it to become slow and distorted.

At the same time, Zhang Gui himself vanished without a trace, but his shadow remained, evolving into a hundred-foot-tall demon god image shrouded in black mist.

Hundreds of arms sprouted from the swirling mist around his body, rising from his left and right sides with each breath.

Holding many severed heads, they all stared at the demon before them, roaring in unison.

"The demons before us are invaders who have invaded the True Dragon Kingdom and plotted to kill the emperor."

As the highest judicial officer of the nation, I now sentence him to death in accordance with the law!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Gui's hundreds of millions of "virtual and real" assets began to burn violently.

Without warning, a huge wound split open on the former demon's neck, and the joints of his limbs slowly tore open, from which foul-smelling black blood flowed out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the demon statue opposite stepped forward, its arms growing from its sides releasing the head it was holding, letting it dissipate into nothingness.

His palm plunged hard into the wound that had split open on the front ghost.

Countless streams of extremely hot black steam shot out from its pores and rushed into the demon's body.

Then, from within the black mist enveloping the demon god's image, thousands upon thousands of roots covered with layers of mycelium sprouted and 'burrowed' into the demon's wound.

Instantaneous steam impact, root 'suction', black fungus fission... it seems an incredible feat of killing a 'Celestial' demon with Class B extraordinary power is about to be accomplished!

In fact, the 'sole divine authority' that Zhang Gui possesses, purely from the perspective of 'quality', belongs to the pinnacle of 'divine abilities' unique to Xihe Continent.

As long as the stored quantity of 'virtual and real' is sufficient, one can unleash divine power without restraint, suppressing and crushing the former demons without needing any other means.

Unfortunately, since the era of the Great War between Earth Demons began, his ability to use 'illusion and reality' has become insufficient.

And so they watched as the ghost was about to die, about to die, but it never died.

After enduring for a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter, his voice like the hooting of an owl.

According to ancient legends, when Buddha Shakyamuni was born, he used the "Earth-Shaking Great Handprint" to suppress the demons of the lower realm.

I never imagined that a mere barbarian king who had gained power would actually try to imitate this!
"But unfortunately you are not Him, not Him, not Him..." With a roar, the demon opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on the neck of the demon god statue, tearing and even swallowing the black mist into its belly, wrestling like a wild beast.

Dark steam billowed from its seven orifices, and mycelium grew from its pores, slowly hardening into clumps, but the former demon appeared even more ferocious.

Above the nine heavens outside the Guiyang Palace.

Zhang Gui's physical body hovered high in the clouds, looking down at his Dharma form being torn to pieces, sensing that the 'real and unreal' he had stored up had been completely exhausted.

He could only drive divine authority with his own strength and the 'practical' power of faith. He sighed deeply and muttered to himself:

"The difference in 'quality' between supreme potential and demonic shikigami is ultimately no match for the difference in 'power' between Class B transcendents and ascending powerhouses."

Young dragons, though noble, are no match for seasoned and robust giant pythons.

Fortunately, the power of the 'Master of War' is not limited to one-on-one combat...

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously shifted to the boundless Regeneration Army beneath his feet, intending to deliver a devastating blow, but unexpectedly, Qian Gui suddenly froze.

Then his gaze shifted from brutal and fierce to an unusual calm, and his voice became hoarse as he said:

There is an ancient, highly secret legend that says, "His magical power reaches the heavens, and his appearance is solemn and dignified; this is what is meant by 'Dharma appearance'."

"I never imagined that the king possessed such supernatural power; it truly is a sign of the great era, where 'dragons fight in the wilderness, their blood turning black and yellow.'"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Gui pondered for a moment, then teleported to the front of the ghost and asked while suspended in mid-air:

"Is it His Majesty Emperor Naruto no Kogetsu?"

"You already know, why ask?" the former ghost laughed.
“In the entire world of Japan, besides me, who else can take away the ‘Twin Demons’ that the ‘Onmyoji’s main family, the Abe clan, relies on as its foundation?”

"Just as I expected." Zhang Gui also revealed a slight smile of satisfaction.

"The head of the Abe clan, who is neither human nor demon, and the reincarnation of a nine-tailed fox demon with a reputation that has been passed down through the ages, is ultimately not as 'wise' as a powerful human ruler who can control everything according to his own will."

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty to suddenly 'appear' at this moment, saving me so much trouble?"

"Like Abe no Seimei, he hopes that Japan will fall into the apocalypse, so he has once again devised a plan to kill you or at least kill one of Song Wenhua or Sang Gui."

This forced the true dragon to declare war on the Japanese.

But I want you to kill all the living people on Yingri Island and eradicate the society and civilization that has existed on Yingri for millions of years.

Let it, like other ancient states of the same era, vanish into history…

"Then you can completely get rid of the titles and positions of Amaterasu no Sumeru, the Human God Child, and the Master of the Void High Heaven, and become just the person 'Narukin Kakeru'."

Zhang Gui interrupted quietly:

"From this point on, the possibility of being destroyed and becoming 'bait' for the ancestral gods in the future will inevitably lead to the annihilation of both body and soul."

Compared to that, the mere million years of civilization of Yingri, the glory of its 66,700 ancestors, and the lives of its 200 million commoners, nobles, warriors, and cultivators are nothing but trifles, aren't they?

Upon hearing this, the 'former ghost' showed a look of surprise for the first time. After a moment of silence, he asked in return:

"So what if it is?"

"What would be considered utterly insane by most people would seem normal to me."

The remaining Yingri Island is just enough for me to make up a million-strong empire, which sounds more impressive.

"His Majesty must be planning to use it as bait, right?"

That's exactly what I think.

But now it seems that external things, power, reputation, and honor are not important to you.

Then you can see for yourself whether I can achieve longevity through 'another path'.

"This is a great thing to say."

Zhang Gui clapped and laughed, manipulating the Dharma image to slowly dismember the unsuspecting and unresisting former ghost's body.
