Chapter 293

After the continent was unified, the new dynasty had just been established, and as various policies were implemented, the first thing Gu Xuan had to do was eliminate the distinction between the original Tian Dou people and Star Luo people among the populace.

Among the peoples of the two nations, Gu Xuan saw brothers' elder brothers moving to the former territory of the other empire to settle anew, and sisters' elder sisters marrying into the other empire...

Although for ordinary people it doesn't matter which family rules, as long as they can be fed and clothed and free from the suffering of war, that makes a good emperor; but after all, the two great empires had stood on the continent for ten thousand years, so some ideas still need to be changed.

As policies were rolled out one after another, the people's problems were gradually resolved, and then came the implementation of the Soul Spirit Method.

After several years, the Star Dou Great Forest has already been unified under the leadership of the Titan Giant Ape.

Of course, relying solely on a Titan Giant Ape is naturally impossible; Gu Xuan also learned of the Scarlet King, the Myriad Beast King, and other fierce beasts, which led him to discover the Silver Dragon King.

Although Gu Xuan had long known that the Silver Dragon King was the true overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, he needed an opportunity to discover it, and now the Scarlet King, the Myriad Beast King, and other fierce beasts provide that opportunity.

Now that the Sun Moon Empire has been established, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, as the empire's guardian sect, has reached the peak of its power and influence.

However, to prevent the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect from seizing the empire's fruits in the future, Ning Fengzhi himself proposed weakening the sect's power, and he also supported the rise of the Spirit Hall to complement and balance the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

After all, the Spirit Hall has completed its reforms and has become a force of the Sun Moon Empire, mainly responsible for awakening martial souls for ordinary people across the continent.

Moreover, the empire established the Sun Moon Academy, widely recruiting talents from across the continent; anyone who can enter the Sun Moon Academy, whether a sect disciple or an ordinary person, receives the highest treatment……

However, in places unseen by Gu Xuan, someone still harbors restless ambitions.

The Clear Sky Sect, after retreating into seclusion, basically ceased to concern itself with worldly affairs; now that the continent is unified, even with its gates closed, the Clear Sky Sect has received the news.

Because Tang San, a member of the Clear Sky Sect, has returned, bringing back the news of the continent's unification.

Indeed, Tang San went to the Clear Sky Sect, and he also brought Bi Bi Dong, Hu Liena, and Dai Mubai with him.

His original wife, Meng Yiran, is now a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, and she also serves as his scout, conveying information from within the Sun Moon Empire to Tang San.

Originally, upon Tang San's return, the current sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, was excited, after all, Tang San is the son of Tang Hao.

But when Tang San said that Tang Hao had already died, Tang Xiao was struck as if by lightning.

Then Tang San explained his relationship with Bi Bi Dong, and because Bi Bi Dong's current strength is also a force to oppose the Sun Moon Empire, the Clear Sky Sect ultimately accepted her joining.

This is because the Sun Moon Empire now seeks to draw out even reclusive forces, have them join the empire, and accept imperial protection.

The condition is that each power's talented disciples may enter the Sun Moon Academy for free to study, with all kinds of benefits maximized—no tuition, no meals fees, etc. —all in order to cultivate talent.

As a condition, each sect must turn over thirty percent of its internal benefits to the empire daily; this applies to any power, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect are no exception.

Moreover, whether a sect or any other organization, it must have official authorization from the Sun Moon Empire; otherwise, it is null and void.

Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the Four Lower Sects, the Spirit Hall—all these martial soul forces must receive official recognition from the empire and possess a license before they can establish a sect or school.

The same will apply in the future: if anyone wishes to establish a sect, they must pass imperial review before they can found a sect or power.

This is the condition of imperial protection.

If one refuses, they will be deemed traitors and rebels, and punished as guilty of treason.

Naturally, this will cause many to be dissatisfied, but since the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect took the lead, the voices of discontent have diminished.

Moreover, the empire's benefits are genuine; over time, discussions and dissatisfaction have faded away.

But what is the Clear Sky Sect? It is a sect that has endured for generations; small powers may comply out of necessity, but the Clear Sky Sect is unwilling.

Moreover, given the current speed of the Sun Moon Empire, it won't be long before they locate the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate, so they want to resist a bit; even if they eventually have to pay, they cannot give thirty percent, because thirty percent is too much!

After all, the Clear Sky Sect currently has hardly any benefits; if the empire still takes thirty percent, wouldn't that be ruinous?

The reason they want to rebel is also because the Clear Sky Sect's strength is now far greater than it was twenty years ago.

Sect master Tang Xiao has broken through to the ninety-seventh rank, and the five elders have also broken through into the Titled Douluo realm.

Furthermore, with Bi Bi Dong, whose strength rivals that of a ninety-ninth-rank Titled Douluo, the sect's overall power has greatly increased.

Moreover, when Bi Bi Dong first came to the Clear Sky Sect to increase her trump cards, she also revealed her identity as an inheritor of the Asura God.

Now her divine trials, after this long, have reached the seventh trial; she only needs to pass the final two assessments to inherit the Asura God's position.

Although Tang Xiao and the others know they are using each other, as long as the Clear Sky Sect can help Bi Bi Dong become a god, they will have the capability to rebel.

Furthermore, not only that, but the Clear Sky Sect's old grudges and Bi Bi Dong's own grudges can also be avenged.

Therefore, they only need to delay until Bi Bi Dong becomes a god, and then everything will still have a chance to turn around.

Moreover, Tang San, as a twin martial soul possessor, under Bi Bi Dong's guidance, has also made rapid progress; his strength now approaches that of a Soul Saint.

In the view of the Clear Sky Sect, with Bi Bi Dong and Tang San—two twin martial soul possessors who are super geniuses—they may not end up subordinate to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect in the future.

But while the idea is wonderful, reality is harsh; because after the continent's unification, Gu Xuan's alliance with the spirit beast clan means Bi Bi Dong cannot even obtain a full set of spirit rings for her second martial soul.

Because the Star Dou Great Forest has already been unified, left with no choice, she can only take Tang San to the sea to hunt for spirit rings, thereby creating a trial.

And Tang San, under Bi Bi Dong's leadership, has initiated the Asura God's trials.

Although Bi Bi Dong will surely inherit the Asura God's position in the end, this also allows Tang San's strength to rise quickly.

The only downside is that Tang San's psychology is becoming increasingly perverse.

Sometimes he shows her an inexplicable expression, which Bi Bi Dong greatly dislikes.

But there's no way around it; Tang San is now her half-disciple and also a future instrument of revenge, so she can only keep bringing him along to continually improve.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena and Dai Mubai remained in the Clear Sky Sect to cultivate, also serving as hostages, after all, Tang Xiao and the others could not fully trust Bi Bi Dong.

And the Clear Sky Sect is also preparing to resist the Sun Moon Empire's unification, hoping to take advantage of the new dynasty's recent establishment and unstable court to undertake major actions.
