Thinking this, Tang San actually harbors some resentment toward Hu Liena; if there were no Hu Liena, and it were only him and Du Gu Yan, he could face Du Gu Yan with his full strength; even without being able to use soul bone skills, possessing the Haotian True Body would give him a better chance.

Interpretation: "Given the current strength of his Blue Silver Emperor, even a pure attack-type Soul Master of the same rank would need a long time to break free from these three layers of powerful control; yet against Du Gu Yan's deadly poison, it is completely corroded in just a few seconds, proving they are not on the same level."

Du Gu Yan's serpent tail swayed, its speed undiminished, paying no heed to the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and Haotian Hammer attacking her; when the two weapons came within three meters of her body, she violently swung her right arm, and the Titan Poison Whip directly shattered the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, while the Haotian Hammer was flung away.

Interpretation: "Only saw Du Gu Yan's serpent tail swaying, speed undiminished, paying no heed to the incoming Blue Silver Overlord Spear and Haotian Hammer aimed at her; when the two weapons came within three meters of her body, she violently swung her right arm, and the Titan Poison Whip directly shattered the Blue Silver Overlord Spear into pieces, while the Haotian Hammer was flung away."

During his flight, Tang San retracted his Haotian Hammer martial soul and switched to the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul; although this martial soul consumes a huge amount of soul power, he is after all a Soul Saint, and although he can currently only use sixty-three level soul power, his foundation remains that of a Soul Saint, so this martial soul is not completely unusable.

Interpretation: "During the flight, Tang San retracted the Haotian Hammer martial soul and switched to the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul; although this martial soul consumes a huge amount of soul power, he is after all a Soul Saint, and although he can currently only use sixty-three level soul power, his foundation remains that of a Soul Saint, so this martial soul is not directly unusable."

Interpretation: "And he was not aimlessly fleeing; earlier, after discovering these strange beasts, he had already split up with Hu Liena to act separately."

Thus: And he was not aimlessly fleeing; earlier, after discovering these strange beasts, he had already split up with Hu Liena to act separately.

He had Hu Liena look for an opportunity to create a disturbance to gather those strange beasts together; as a control-system soul master, Hu Liena's main ability is enchantment, which fortunately also works on these strange beasts.

Interpretation: "He had Hu Liena look for an opportunity to create a disturbance to gather those strange beasts together; and as Hu Liena is a Control-type Soul Master, her main ability is charm, which fortunately also works on these strange beasts."

Thus: He had Hu Liena look for an opportunity to create a disturbance to gather those strange beasts together; and as Hu Liena is a Control-type Soul Master, her main ability is charm, which fortunately also works on these strange beasts.

…………

Interpretation: The ellipsis. We need to translate as is: "........" maybe keep as "........". The line contains only dots. We'll output the same number of dots? The line is "…………". That's four dots? Actually it's four Chinese ellipsis? It shows four dots? We'll just output the same: "…………". But we need to keep as a line. So translation: "…………". We'll keep as is.

Bright Capital

Gu Xuan and Bi Bi Dong returned to the palace, with Gu Xuan taking her on a walk around the palace's various gardens and lakes, speaking some heartfelt words.

That's the last line.

Interpretation: "Gu Xuan and Bi Bi Dong returned to the imperial palace; Gu Xuan took her for a walk around the various gardens and lakes inside the palace, saying some heartfelt words."

Thus: Gu Xuan and Bi Bi Dong returned to the imperial palace; Gu Xuan took her for a walk around the various gardens and lakes inside the palace, saying some heartfelt words.

After all, I no longer intend to kill Bi Bi Dong, seeing that, if I can change her mindset a bit, perhaps in the future this woman could also undergo some change, who knows.

"You should temporarily not undergo the divine trial; the Asura God's examination content is somewhat overly lethal, and the empire has just stabilized—I don't want you to cause trouble." Gu Xuan held a handful of fish bait, threw it into the fish pond, and said lightly.

"Do I have a choice?" Bi Bi Dong looked at the goldfish scrambling for food in the fish pond, her expression turning somewhat indignant: "Do you want to treat me like these goldfish? Lock me up and let you play with me?"

Hearing Bi Bi Dong's flower, Gu Xuan frowned: "Mother-in-law, your wording is incorrect; you are an elder, you cannot casually use this term."

Upon hearing this, Bi Bi Dong's indignant expression eased considerably; she also knew she had used the wrong words in a moment of agitation, but the meaning was the same.

"The reason I tell you not to rush is also due to some considerations, but speaking too clearly about certain matters is not good for either you or me." Gu Xuan said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Bi Bi Dong also stopped speaking; although she did not know Gu Xuan's exact purpose, she knew she was already under his control, and unless she could break free, any words would be empty talk—she could only be forced to obey his orders.

Gu Xuan looked up at the sky, then rose and left the fish pond, leaving Bi Bi Dong sitting alone there in silence.

After Gu Xuan left, he went to the Sun Moon Hall; this is the main hall for court assemblies, and also his usual workplace.

Walking to the dragon throne and sitting down, Gu Xuan waved his hand; a guard stepped forward: "Your Majesty."

"Summon the head of the Zodiac Hall; I have a task for her." Gu Xuan said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard answered and was about to leave, but then called him back: "Right, also summon the Nine Treasure King."

The Nine Treasure King is the title of Ning Fengzhi, and also the only foreign-surname king of the Sun Moon Empire; this is Gu Xuan granting Ning Fengzhi the privilege, and moreover the Nine Treasure King is not hereditary, belonging solely to Ning Fengzhi.

If Ning Fengzhi were gone, that title would no longer be usable.

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Sect is a state-protected sect, the Sun Moon Empire has unified military authority, and all power now lies in Gu Xuan's hands; while institutions still follow those of the former Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire, they are also undergoing reform.

During Gu Xuan's reign, he cannot relinquish power; moreover, the newly founded state needs an emperor with an iron-fisted grip to consolidate this legacy.

The guard departed with the order, and Gu Xuan, feeling something, lifted his head and gazed toward the direction of the City of Slaughter.

"Yanzi……"

Du Gu Yan has been undergoing the Asura God's trial for two years, and still there is no news at all; I don't know how she is faring.

Soon after, Ning Fengzhi arrived.

After dismissing everyone in the hall, Gu Xuan sat on the dragon throne, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and said: "Uncle, in half a year I will tour the continent, again teaching the Soul Spirit Method in every province and county, to stir the passion of Soul Masters and the populace."

"Leave the details to you."

Ning Fengzhi nodded upon hearing this; the current Soul Spirit Method is only fully understood by those great clans and noble descendants, while most commoner Soul Masters merely have a rough grasp; to thoroughly consolidate, Gu Xuan will tour the continent, and this time he intends to make a strong appearance.

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements." Ning Fengzhi replied with a nod.

Afterwards, Gu Xuan asked with a smile: "Uncle, you've been working hard these days; after my tour ends I'll give you a vacation so you can properly keep company with your aunts, and I'm eagerly awaiting the birth of my three younger siblings."

Hearing Gu Xuan's teasing, Ning Fengzhi this time not only did not blush, but became solemn: "Your Majesty, do you still have the nerve to tease me? The state has been established, yet you have no heirs; officials each morning when attending court make this their first concern—if you don't strive harder…"

Before Ning Fengzhi could finish speaking, Gu Xuan helplessly waved his hand: "Uncle, Lingling and Zhu Qing have gone with Rong Rong to Sea God Island, and Yanzi and Sister Xue'er are not here either; I can't handle this alone."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded and then said: "Your Majesty, for the prosperity of the imperial household, the harem currently has only seven consorts; it's time to add a few more."

"It just so happens that in half a year, when Your Majesty tours to spread the teachings, you could simply issue an edict to select consorts across the continent—how about that?"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Xuan first nodded, then shook his head.

Actually, having already become the continent's one-and-only emperor through the ages, a harem of three thousand beauties is exactly what Gu Xuan has dreamed of, but he intends to become a god in the future.

Having a few wives in the future shouldn't be a problem either; even if some fail to succeed, relying on the authority of a first-rank god could still bring them into the divine realm together.

If he now seeks too many wives, and feelings deepen later, then they cannot be taken away.

Since the goal is to become a god, Gu Xuan will not choose to bear so many burdens.

ps: Typos will be corrected later.
