Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

The first thing was to formulate strict court laws. The martial arts world was not a lawless place. Even warriors had to abide by the laws of the Great Zhou. Those who violated the laws would be visited by masters from the Tianxia Association and Wushuang City.

The second thing is to recuperate, check the land, rent the land to landless people in the name of the country, and promise tax exemption for three years to accumulate people's strength.

The third thing is to build Xuantian Taoist Palace with major cities as the center to spread the name of Emperor Xuantian. In the past year, the incense of Emperor Xuantian can even be compared with that of the Three Pure Ones.

The first two things were state affairs, necessary for governing the country. As for the third thing, it was purely Xiongba's way of trying to please Song Xuan in the hope of gaining continued favor from heaven.

As for the effect...

Xiongba secretly glanced at Lord Jianzun, who was drinking tea with a calm expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Sword Master did not refute it, it means he did the right thing.

Governing the country with one hand and flattering the Sword Master with the other, it seems that these two moves are right!

Silently, he gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Xiongba, ah Xiongba, you are truly a born overlord. You have once again been favored by heaven. Your future will soar to the sky and your prospects are limitless!

Chapter 568: This clone of mine will leave sooner or later!

After taking a sip of tea, Song Xuan put down the teacup and said with a faint smile: "Xiongba, you have great ambitions and aspirations, and you have your own ideas on governing the world. There is no need for me to give you too much advice.

I just want to say one thing: I don't expect you to do much for the people of this Great Zhou, but one thing is for sure: you have to let them live like human beings, not like ants that can be trampled to death at any time!

Xiong Ba was a little apprehensive. "My Lord's decree, Xiong Ba will remember it in my heart. I will never slack off in the slightest!"

"Don't be nervous!" Song Xuan waved his hand. "I don't mean to accuse you. I know what you've done this year. You've done a great job as regent.

Merit must be rewarded, crime must be punished, this is my principle, you have done well, naturally there should be a reward, tell me, what do you want?"

Xiong Ba quickly shook his head, "My Lord has already elevated me to this supreme position, how dare I ask for anything more?"

Song Xuan smiled noncommittally and said, "I don't mean to test you. Since you don't dare to say it, then I will just watch and give it to you."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Regent Palace and said, "Your status and position are already high enough, but your strength is still too weak. High power but weak strength is the way to death!"

Xiongba's body softened, his back covered in cold sweat. What exactly did Sword Master mean today?

Before he could think of anything, he saw Song Xuan raise his hand and wave it, and ten blood-red fruits emitting a burning breath floated in the air. The fragrant smell was mixed with a hint of blood, which made Xiongba's throat move instinctively.

"This is Blood Bodhi. I guess you've heard of it, right?"

"I've heard of it!" Xiong Ba's eyes lit up with joy. "This legendary healing elixir, as long as the person is still alive, one pill will heal them instantly. It can heal wounds and increase strength for those who are not injured. It's the magical elixir that everyone in the martial arts world dreams of!"

Song Xuan said, "I've estimated that ten Blood Bodhis should be able to raise your cultivation to the limit. With this level of power, it should be enough to protect yourself, except for those old monsters with the blood of divine beasts."

"Thank you for the medicine, my Lord. Xiongba swears that I will obey you for the rest of my life and do whatever you command!"

"I'll remember this!"

Song Xuan stood up and prepared to leave. Next, it was time for him and Xiao Sanxiao to slay the dragon in the North Sea as agreed upon!

But when he reached the door of the hall, he seemed to have a feeling, and was touched by something. If he did not bring Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun with him on this dragon-slaying trip, there would be many twists and turns and some unpredictable things would happen.

But if these two people are brought along, then two extra portions of Dragon Essence will probably have to be distributed. After getting the Dragon Essence, the two people's strength will increase dramatically, and they will definitely come to seek revenge on Xiongba.

Song Xuan was too lazy to interfere in the feud between Xiongba and Fengyun, but now that the Great Zhou was just established, stability was needed. Xiongba must not die before a suitable successor was appointed!

Turning his head, he looked at Xiong Ba, who was bowing slightly, "How is your relationship with Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun now?"

"My Lord, these two are my disciples. They used to be my right-hand men, and now they are important officials who maintain the stability of the Great Zhou martial arts world. They are indispensable."

Song Xuan glanced at him and said, "Tell the truth!"

Xiong Ba chuckled, "When I was young, I had a grudge against their fathers. It would be fine if Nie Feng and the other two didn't know about it, but if they did, I guess they would come to seek revenge on me sooner or later.

I rely on them, but I am also wary of them, and I dare not let my guard down at any time!"

Song Xuan laughed and said, "If they gain Dragon Essence and their strength increases dramatically, do you think you, after eating the Blood Bodhi, will be able to handle it?"

Xiong Ba was shocked and didn't bother to think about the reason. He immediately said with a sad face, "Master, although the Blood Bodhi is a holy medicine, it can't be compared with the dragon essence of the divine dragon, right?

"Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi only inherited the bloodline of the Dragon Turtle, and their strength is so great that it can be said to be omnipotent. What about those who have swallowed the Dragon Essence?"

"Understood!"

Song Xuan waved his sleeves, and a scroll appeared in front of Xiongba.

"For some reason, these two people will have an opportunity soon, and they will most likely obtain Dragon Essence."

“This scroll contains one, or rather ten, peerless martial arts, called the Ten Strongest Martial Arts. You can practice them on your own when you have time.

If you succeed in your cultivation, even beings like Emperor Shitian will not be your match. Combined with the power increased by the Blood Bodhi, even Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who have obtained the Dragon Essence, may not be able to defeat you! "

Xiong Ba was overjoyed when he heard this, "My Lord, I will repay your grace of bestowing the Dharma with my life!"

Song Xuan glanced at him and said, "I gave you the technique so that you can protect yourself, not so that you can abuse your power.

You are not a good person, nor a purely evil person. You are a heroic figure, and both your mind and means are top-notch in the world.

"During this year, I guess you've guessed a little bit about my identity, right?"

Xiong Ba held the scroll in his arms and said respectfully, "I have made some guesses. Judging from the master's talent, he is a first-class immortal god, not like an ordinary person."

Song Xuan smiled and nodded, "Your guess is correct, I came from the outer space, and what you see now is just one of my clones, which will return to the outer space sooner or later.

In this world, I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime. Let me remind you that Feng Yun and his wife have special destinies. Unless you are sure that you can get out of this world, try not to confront each other directly.

Win them over if you can, resolve grudges if you can, and you have to decide the right balance between the two!

That’s all I have to say. You can do whatever you want.”

After saying this, Song Xuan took off into the air. Before leaving, he gave one last instruction, "Xiongba, guard this Great Zhou for me!"

Xiong Ba knelt on the ground and said, "Master, between you and me, master and servant, will there be a day when we can meet again in the future?"

Song Xuan pointed to the Xuantian Dao Palace in the city and smiled, "If one day, the name of Emperor Xuantian spreads throughout the world, and everyone recites my name, perhaps it will attract the gaze of my true self!"

Xiong Ba understood what he meant. His master's true body in outer space must be a being with boundless magical powers. If he could get the attention of his true body, he might really have a chance to transcend this world!

At this moment, he once again found his life purpose.

Once upon a time, his goal was to unify the world and possess supreme power in this world, but now, he wants to transcend this world and achieve immortality!

"Xiongba understands. Old slave, I respectfully send the emperor off!"

In the past, he would never have been able to utter the words "old slave" when calling himself that, but now, he spoke them with great proficiency.

Looking at the entire world, besides myself, who else has the qualifications to call himself an old slave in front of a Taoist immortal god-level being?

Song Xuan laughed out loud. Xiongba was an interesting guy.

After watching Song Xuan's figure disappear into the sky, Xiongba lay on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up.

Holding the Blood Bodhi in one hand and the scroll recording the top ten martial artists in the other, Xiongba turned around and looked at the dog-headed military advisor Wen Chouchou, who was stiff and dared not move.

"You saw everything just now, didn't you?"

Wen Chouchou's face was covered in cold sweat. "Boss, I won't say anything nonsense. Don't kill me!"

"Why would I kill you?"

Xiongba laughed, feeling very happy. "Emperor Xuantian personally promised me, Xiongba, to protect the Great Zhou. You were a witness to it, so why should I kill you?

Now, give me some advice. Given the grudges between the previous generations, how can we resolve the grudges with Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun? "

Wen Chouchou was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Regent, do you mind having two more promising sons-in-law?"

Xiong Ba was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, "Youruo, plus my adopted daughter Kong Ci, it's just right.

There is hatred in gratitude, and love in hatred. Gratitude, hatred, and love are inseparable and difficult to sort out. I am afraid that my two good disciples will be very entangled in the future, right? "

Chapter 569: I have a great fortune to bestow upon you!

North Sea.

The sky is as blue as a gem, with white clouds floating in it like cotton candy. The sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle and look like a dream.

The fresh sea breeze blows on your face, bringing the scent of the sea, making you feel relaxed and happy.

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were standing on the beach, looking at each other in bewilderment.

When the two were exchanging martial arts in Luoyang City, they suddenly felt a flash before their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived in this unfamiliar environment.

If it were in the past, the two would have drawn their weapons and prepared to fight, but at this moment, they had no intention of taking action at all.

There was no other reason, it was just because the man standing not far away with his hands behind his back gazing at the sea was none other than the founder of the Great Zhou Empire, the current Emperor Xuantian!

A living immortal god-level being!

"senior....."

Nie Feng hesitated for a moment, thinking that his relationship with the Emperor was probably okay, so he took two steps forward and asked tentatively, "Senior, you brought us here because..."

"I have a great fortune to bestow upon you!"

Song Xuan looked at Nie Feng meaningfully. These two guys had a similar status to Song Qian in the Great Zhou. Of course, they might not be as well treated as Song Qian, but at least they were considered the destined children of this world.

Logically speaking, with the strength of him and Xiao Sanxiao, it would not be a problem for the two of them to join forces to slay the dragon. After all, even Emperor Shitian dared to slay a dragon after gathering the seven divine weapons. There was no reason why Song Xuan couldn't do it.

But some things cannot be judged by common sense. His martial arts soul had already deduced the conclusion. He could slay the dragon, but Feng Yun and the others must get their due. This was the bottom line of the will of heaven and earth!

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun looked at each other in surprise and doubt.

What kind of being is Emperor Xuantian? What kind of blessing will he bestow? Could he be offering an elixir?

"Looking at the younger generation in the martial arts world, the two of you are the ones I'm most optimistic about."

Song Xuan pointed to the sea and said in a deep voice: "Today's fortune is right there!"

Nie Feng stared at the sea, "Senior, is there a treasure in this sea?"

"There's no treasure in the sea, but there are dragons!"

Song Xuan laughed heartily and said, "I think you are all familiar with the Seventeen Horrors List that I created earlier. The sixteenth most terrifying creature is the North Sea Dragon!"

Bu Jingyun, who had been silent the whole time, subconsciously moved his throat and asked in surprise, "Senior, are you going to slay the dragon?"

"It's not me who wants to slay the dragon, it's us who slay the dragon together!"

Nie Feng chuckled, "Senior, you're joking. Although Senior Brother Yun and I have improved our strength considerably this year, we still know our own limitations. This North Sea Dragon is ranked sixteenth in terror, and its terrifying power is definitely beyond the reach of Senior Brother Yun and me."

Song Xuan shook his head slightly, "I have my own helpers, you can just help me.

The main reason I brought you two here this time is to let you observe it up close. If you can gain some insights, it will be considered a blessing!"

Nie Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and Bu Jingyun also showed joy in his eyes.

For them, being able to witness Emperor Xuantian's heroic feat of slaying the dragon will definitely bring unimaginable benefits to their future martial arts path.

If one could comprehend even a fraction of the Great Emperor's martial arts abilities, it would be easy for him to deal with Xiongba in the future.

hum~

At this moment, a ripple appeared in the void, and instantly an old man with white hair and a kind face walked out of the ripple.

"Fellow Daoist Xuantian, am I not too late?"

"It's just the right time!"

Song Xuan looked at him and smiled three times, then said, "Your complexion looks rosy and you seem to be in a good mood. Does it seem like your relationship with your two sons has improved?"

Xiao Sanxiao bowed and said, "I really have to thank you for this matter. If you hadn't absorbed their dragon turtle bloodline, my two troublesome sons might not have been able to see through life and death and achieve enlightenment!"

"In that case, when we slay the dragon later, fellow Daoist, you must put in more effort and don't be lazy or play dirty!"

Song Xuan laughed heartily. He didn't care at all how Xiao Sanxiao counseled his two rebellious sons. As long as the old man came, it would be fine.

Xiao Sanxiao also smiled, his eyes observing Song Xuan obscurely, "Daoyou are stronger than a year ago. Before, I could vaguely sense your strength, but now I can't see through it at all.

Simplify the complex, return to the basics. If I didn't know how powerful you are, I would have mistaken you for an ordinary person who has never practiced martial arts when we walked on the street."

As he spoke, he looked at Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun with some curiosity.

"These two young friends... I'm not underestimating them. They are at the top of the younger generation, but isn't it a bit inappropriate for them to participate in slaying the dragon?"

Song Xuan smiled without saying anything, just looked at him quietly.

Xiao Sanxiao was confused, but after confirming that Song Xuan brought the two of them here seriously, he did not dare to be careless and activated the Senluo Wanxiang technique to begin to spy on God's will.

Soon, his face changed. He didn't think anything of it before, but the more he comprehended the secrets of heaven, the more he felt that the two young men in front of him were unusual.

He couldn't describe the feeling, but he knew in his heart that if these two people were not present today, it would be difficult to succeed in slaying the dragon!
