Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

When Wu Qing and Lin Ye arrived, both of them were covered in cold sweat. Just as they were about to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, a blurry figure flashed between them.

The moment they realized it was Lin Ye, a familiar voice rang in their ears: "Let's spar with me."

Before Lin Ye became emperor, the three of them often sparred in their spare time. But now that Lin Ye is the ruler of the world, and considering that the two of them almost committed treason just now, they have been hesitant to make a move.

In that instant of hesitation, Lin Ye had already struck out with his palm into the gap between the two.

The two hastily moved aside, staring at the large pit in the middle. They exchanged a glance and reached a consensus from each other's eyes—

Your Majesty's martial arts cultivation has improved!

Wu Qingsheng was a big, burly man, and the excited expression on his face at this moment even looked a bit comical.

Since he began leading troops into battle, Zhao Fei has always remained calm and composed, no matter how unequal the odds of the battles. As a result, despite being born a dwarf, he has still managed to reach his current position. However, the fact that Lin Ye broke through to the Innate Martial Arts realm brought tears to his eyes.

Although both were military generals, their martial arts backgrounds meant that their pursuit of martial arts was no different from that of ordinary warriors.

They had thought that reaching the Innate Realm was the end of their martial arts journey, but they never expected that their Emperor would open up another path.

How could they not be excited?

"If you don't make a move now, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Ye's voice rang out again.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's words completely dispelled any remaining concerns in their hearts, and their eyes lit up with eagerness.

"Your humble servant is offended."

The next moment, the two channeled all their emotions into the power in their hands and launched an attack on Lin Ye.

Wu Qing first threw a punch at Lin Ye from a distance. The force of his punch seemed to carry the weight of a thunderbolt, and it arrived in front of Lin Ye with an unstoppable force.

The wind from the punch ruffled his robes, but Lin Ye remained motionless.

By subtly adjusting his internal energy, the force of his punch immediately lost its arrogant momentum, becoming weak and powerless, and then dissipating into the air.

Zhao Fei couldn't help but cheer in his heart, and took the opportunity to leap down from the sky, waving his palm at Lin Ye's back.

Lin Ye did not turn around; only his slightly backward gaze indicated that he had already anticipated the sneak attack from behind.

Just as Zhao Fei's palm was about a fraction of a second away from Lin Ye, Lin Ye suddenly disappeared from his sight.

"puff--"

Only after Zhao Fei received the blow did he realize that Lin Ye had already circled around behind him.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, you're such a loser. His Majesty is right behind you and you're still standing there like an idiot." Wu Qing walked up to Zhao Fei and patted him on the shoulder, speaking in a gruff voice.

Zhao Fei: "Didn't you say that you finally mastered the Thunder Fist after three years of hard training? I think it's nothing special when you put it in front of His Majesty."

After speaking, the two exchanged a smile and bowed to Lin Ye, who was walking over, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on reaching the pinnacle of martial arts."

Lin Ye waved his hand slightly, indicating that the two should dispense with formalities.

"Take this technique, study it, and then pass it on to the army."

The cultivation technique Lin Ye presented was not the "Hun Yuan Gong" he obtained from Zhou Ru, but rather the "He Yuan Gong," which he had improved upon.

The biggest difference between this technique and the "Hun Yuan Gong" is that it incorporates the cultivation methods of this world, taking the best from each and making it easier to comprehend.

Since the cultivators who wanted to take his life were not immortals in this illusionary realm, he could make many more preparations.

He intends to use this technique to build another strong team for his "Slaying Immortals" plan.

Both men were visibly moved upon hearing this and replied in unison, "Your Majesty, we thank you."

"Your Majesty, now that martial arts have been elevated to a higher level by Your Majesty, it is fitting that Your Majesty bestows a name upon it to announce to the world." Zhao Fei looked at the martial arts manual in his hand and found it difficult to maintain his usual calm expression.

Lin Ye didn't care about this, but since he had created a new realm, it wouldn't be appropriate for it not to have a name.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Ye slowly said, "Let's call it the Harmony Realm."

"The Dao Integration Realm? Excellent, excellent! I, Old Wu, will definitely become the second person to reach the Dao Integration Realm."

Zhao Fei's face now showed a competitive spirit, and he snorted coldly, "You? You're lucky to be third."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qing scratched his messy hair and it took him a while to realize what Zhao Fei meant. He then shouted in a rough voice, "Old Zhao, aren't you implying that you're second?"

"Very well, Your Majesty, this old minister humbly requests that Your Majesty bear witness, if any of us were to become the second..."

As he spoke, Wu Qing's thick eyebrows twitched for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of "betting money" he should put down for this "bet".

Lin Ye chuckled, readily resolving his dilemma. "I intend to create a Divine Martial Army composed entirely of martial arts masters, to serve as my personal guard. Whoever among you first reaches the Dao Integration Realm will become the leader of this Divine Martial Army. What do you say?"

Both of them were delighted upon hearing this.

As martial artists, no one would be unmoved by such an army.

"I thank you Lord for your kindness."

......

At night, the moonlight poured down, falling on Lin Ye, who was practicing the "Breath Concealment Technique".

At this moment, his every breath seemed to be hidden in the moonlight, making it impossible for anyone to detect his presence.

Just as Lin Ye thought, with the Hunyuan Gong as a precedent, the Lianxi Jue was not difficult to cultivate, and was even as easy as a fish in water.

It was completed in just three hours.

Lin Ye has spent the last few days practicing martial arts, aside from handling government affairs. Now that he has succeeded, he is ready to relax and enjoy the flowers and the moon in the Imperial Garden.

It is now early spring, and once you enter the Imperial Garden, you are greeted by a breathtaking display of spring colors.

A hundred flowers bloom in competition, their beauty dazzling as far as the eye can see.

However, even amidst a riot of colors, nothing compares to a single, unique hue.

Beside the bright peach branches stood a woman.

The woman wore three peach blossom hairpins in her hair, and her jet-black hair fell straight down along the hairpins. A few strands brushed against her cheeks in the breeze, but they did not affect her stunning beauty in the slightest.

On the contrary, it added a touch of human warmth to her face, which was as pure and aloof as snow, as ethereal as a fairy, and as beautiful as a painting.

At this moment, the woman gently raised her hand, her glass-like eyes darted around, and her hand followed her gaze, finally landing on a peach branch in full bloom.

In an instant, the peach branch fell into the woman's hands.

Even the flowers become mere embellishments at this moment.

The eunuch standing nearby was very perceptive and introduced Lin Ye in a soft, high-pitched voice: "Your Majesty, this is Li Wanwan, a candidate for imperial concubine in the Chuxiu Palace."

Then, speaking carefully, he added, "I don't know why you're so unruly as to run into the Imperial Garden and pick flowers. Should I...?"

Rules are rules, but beautiful women can always gain some favor within the bounds of harmless rules.

Lin Ye waved his hand, and the eunuch, having received the order, lowered his head and followed behind Lin Ye without saying another word.

As if hearing footsteps, Li Wanwan turned around and her gaze met Lin Ye's directly.

Lin Ye didn't speak, but watched the woman's reaction with great interest.

Unhurried, with a seemingly appraising gaze, she slowly knelt down and said, "This commoner, Li Wanwan, greets Your Majesty."

Why are you here?
