The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

[The monumental task of devouring the world has been accomplished. Although it is a mortal realm, it still contains considerable dimensional energy. After transformation by the Boundless Heavens, you have gained 10086 dimensional points!]

[Dimensional Points: 10998]

[Your rank has been promoted, the Boundless Heaven has received replenishment from the material world and has undergone initial sublimation, and your dimensional point collection efficiency has increased by 2.1 to 3.0 times.]

[The Boundless Heaven possesses a tangible form; you can utilize its power in the material world for a brief burst of power.]

[Warning: The duration of the burst of power from the Boundless Heaven is determined by your physical strength. Prolonged bursts will strain your physical body, causing severe backlash!]

[WARNING: Using the power of the Boundless Heaven in the material world will result in energy interaction, which may expose the Boundless Heaven to certain beings, potentially causing unpredictable consequences. Please use with caution!]

[Your rank has been promoted. In the future, when interfering with other worlds, you can forcibly descend and attempt to violently devour them after the Heavenly Demon interference level reaches 95%.]

. . . . . .

Ji Chen sat upright on the throne, waiting for the guards to bring the Jia family and other three major families, including the main characters of Dream of the Red Chamber, to the palace. During this process, he checked the log records on the panel to prevent any omissions.

"With improved efficiency in collecting dimensional points, we can now experiment more freely with new things."

Before, I only had about 100 points a day, which was terrible. I had to be very careful with my time if I wanted to practice martial arts.

His consciousness lingered briefly at the power of the Boundless Heaven, but ultimately passed over it.

Given his personality, unless he is forced into a desperate situation, he will probably keep this ability forever hidden away.

"Your Majesty, the person has arrived outside the Meridian Gate."

The young eunuch took small, quick steps and stepped forward to report.

Meanwhile, Xue Baochai received the news and stopped the group of people outside the Meridian Gate.

She has now been granted the title of Imperial Concubine and enjoys great favor, so no one dares to stop her.

When the group met, they first wept bitterly. Then, the remaining members of the three major families realized that things were different now, and they paid their respects with trepidation.

Although the members of the three major families were not mistreated after the seizure, they lived in constant fear. If they hadn't learned about Xue Baochai's relationship with them, many of them would have been unable to withstand the pressure and committed suicide.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy and save your second brother."

"I don't know what illness Master Bao has contracted. Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has suddenly become senile."

Before they could even exchange a few words, this group of people started pleading for the dull, lifeless man in front of them.

Upon seeing this, Xue Baochai recognized Jia Baoyu as the man who had been highly praised by her elders before her family was destroyed.

Before the incident, she might have had some thoughts about Da Bao Lian, but after serving Ji Chen and learning martial arts, she gained a lot of knowledge and experience, and those thoughts naturally disappeared.

Furthermore, he felt disgusted by Da Bao's extremely poor mental fortitude, which led him to become so mentally unstable as soon as his family fell into ruin.

Having emerged from the despair of her entire clan being slaughtered and left with only her widowed mother, her resolve was far stronger than that of her relatives before her.

She remained calm and pretended not to hear anything, offering words of comfort while taking the opportunity to observe these people.

After Ji Chen ascended the throne, he held a banquet to honor his officials. Many of the concubines' families were granted the titles of Assistant Clan or Junior Clan, which gradually increased their influence in the harem and threatened her position.

While I came here to visit and care for these relatives, I also had the intention of seeking support.

However, no one expected that these tribesmen would be so incompetent. The men were all in a state of panic and were mediocre and incompetent, while the women of the tribe still retained some composure.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of disappointment.

Staying by Ji Chen's side, there are very few rules to follow; as long as you please him, there are almost no restrictions.

Under these circumstances, she couldn't help but question Ji Chen's previous promise.

Xue Baochai surveyed the crowd and noticed that although the women looked pale, their natural beauty and graceful demeanor were still undeniable.

Her thoughts shifted slightly, and a new plan suddenly formed in her mind.

She first went to Li Wan, who was in a somewhat unwell state, and whispered a few words to her.

Li Wan's expression changed, then suddenly flushed red, and she murmured:

"If Lan'er is alright, then you can make all the arrangements, sister-in-law."

Having successfully dealt with one person, Xue Baochai repeated the process, targeting each person's weaknesses, and subsequently dealt with several others whom she felt she could control.

Wang Xifeng noticed that while she was outwardly comforting everyone, she was actually whispering to many of her sisters. Although those sisters looked somewhat unwell, Wang Xifeng sensed a change in their attitudes.

She was waiting for Xue Baochai to come and see what her sister Baochai, who used to fawn over her, had to say, but Xue Baochai just smiled at her and then set off for the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wang Xifeng had already made up her mind after a series of thoughts, and went to sound out the people who had received the whispers.

. . . . . .

The Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Xue Baochai arrived, Ji Chen was not surprised and simply asked her to sit to the side.

After absorbing this realm, he explored Xue Baochai's special characteristics more than once. However, although he discovered some anomalies, perhaps due to incomplete elements, he was always separated from the Realm of Illusion by a hazy veil and could not see it clearly.

To prevent any omissions, Xue Baochai was someone he also needed to investigate, and her initiative in coming over saved him the trouble of doing so later.

"Your Majesty, my Cloud Dragon Manual has recently made a breakthrough. I hope Your Majesty will grant me your favor and guidance."

After Xue Baochai sat down, her eyes darted around and she looked at Ji Chen.

"Um?"

Ji Chen was somewhat surprised. With a country under his control and tributes coming from all directions, and with his support, he was not surprised that Xue Baochai's qi and blood had changed dramatically in just a few months.

However, once martial arts cultivation reaches the stage of Qi and blood transformation, further improvement requires not only innate talent and physical attributes but also a deep understanding of martial arts principles.

"Demonstrate it for me."

Ji Chen, who was known for his lack of discipline and disregard for so-called royal etiquette, allowed Xue Baochai to practice martial arts in the main hall where he often handled government affairs.

The "Yunlong Jing" inherited by Xue Baochai is the latest version that has undergone countless revisions and improvements by him, and has also incorporated some Taoist principles to explain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

Although this method has not yet reached the ultimate level that can be derived from the martial arts foundation of this world, it is undoubtedly a supreme skill that combines ease of entry with boundless potential, making it worthy of continuous pursuit. Its profound foundation is unparalleled in the world.

Even if in the future, under the influence of the martial spirit of the world, the major sects will produce a constant stream of geniuses, full of vitality and innovation, and it will still take decades to surpass this version.

However, Xue Baochai mastered the profound and mysterious Cloud Dragon Scripture, and her moves were full of inspiration.

She stood in the hall, her figure graceful and poised. Her movements were fluid and unhindered, brimming with spiritual energy.

His palms flew like dragons reaching for their claws, and his footwork was as swift as drifting clouds. Although it was just a basic stance, it subtly carried the power of wind and thunder.

Especially the "Dragon Swings Its Tail" move, where her waist twists lightly and her right leg sweeps out with a soft yet firm force, her energy contained but not released, yet a hidden force bursts forth when she finishes the move, and the air seems to hum.

After performing the entire set of exercises, she maintained her even breathing, her eyes clear and calm as she awaited Ji Chen's evaluation.

Ji Chen first praised him, then pointed out his shortcomings.

Seeing that Xue Baochai was neither arrogant nor impatient, and that she humbly accepted his opinions, he couldn't help but think even more highly of her.

Regardless of whether there was any acting involved, this attitude alone, coupled with the talent he displayed, was enough to make him take it seriously.

To develop a mature and enduring martial arts technique, it's not enough to just look at the achievements of the founder; you also need to consider the development efforts of successors.

What is a prominent field of study?

A prominent field of study is one that can serve the general public while also gaining a foothold and influence in high-level circles.

The Yunlong Jing has a low barrier to entry and a good purpose, so it is clearly qualified to become a prominent school of thought.

However, if it is to become a truly prominent field of study, helping him to promote the Great Blood Martial Arts in the main world and create a continuous stream of benefits for him, it will need a succession of outstanding talents to fill the gaps.

Therefore, Ji Chen intends to use this imperial examination to select talented individuals who meet his requirements.

But that's the future; right now, Xue Baochai is clearly such a talented individual.

"You stay here tonight, and I'll give you some in-depth guidance."

Ji Chen decided to reward him handsomely.
