Chapter 784

“This matter is not just a court affair. The evolution of fierce beasts does not care about the rise and fall of dynasties; these fierce beasts will fairly slaughter every living human being.”

“If not handled well, humans will become food for the fierce beasts.”

“Therefore, the promotion of the Martial Dao is inevitable.”

After speaking, Ying Zheng took out a cultivation manual and said calmly:

“This was left for me by the ancestors before they departed—a Martial Dao manual deduced by immortal cultivators.”

“It is much more powerful than the Martial Dao manuals of this world; at its peak, one can break through to the level of an Earthly Immortal and reach the degree of shattering the void.”

“Li Si, Meng Tian, you are responsible for promoting this Martial Dao. At the very least, you must let the Great Jean army begin practicing this Martial Dao in full.”

At this, the entire court was in turmoil.

What Ying Zheng said earlier, although good, didn't have much to do with them.

The imperial family becoming the Vermilion Bird clan was a good thing for the imperial family, but what did that have to do with them?

But now, with fierce beasts about to flourish, the arrival of this Martial Dao created by immortal cultivators was a huge blessing.

Moreover, this was a manual that could directly cultivate to the point of shattering the void.

Currently, the strongest manuals in all of Great Jean were nothing more than those of the Yin-Yang School and the Heavenly Sect, but at their peak, they were only what was called a Martial Dao Celestial.

Counting it up, that was only equivalent to a half-step Earthly Immortal.

With this manual, not only are Earthly Immortals real, but even shattering the void can be achieved.

This was the real, tangible benefit.

Zou Yan and the others were already excited to the point of madness.

Li Si pursed his lips, his eyes full of burning heat.

It was clear that in the future, Great Jean would inevitably be a place where strength is respected; he naturally needed to cultivate as well.

This manual gave him direct hope.

It was just that...

“Your Majesty, is promoting such a high-level manual on a large scale...”

Li Si hesitated, slowed down, and added:

“Moreover, practicing the manual requires massive resources. With Great Jean’s national treasury, even if it were all emptied, I presume we could not cultivate such an army.”

599. Ying Zheng: Learning from Liyue

“What you are worried about is not a problem.”

Ying Zheng said calmly:

“Regarding this matter, I have also consulted the ancestors, and the ancestors have already provided a perfect plan.”

Hearing this, Meng Tian hurriedly asked:

“Your Majesty, what did the Immortal say?”

The corners of Ying Zheng’s mouth lifted slightly, his brow full of pride.

Looking around the court, he knew there were many people from anti-Jean forces here, but...

He was now going to tell this news to all the anti-Jean forces.

To tell them that they no longer had a way out.

“The ancestors stated directly...”

“They came representing Shushan, and are themselves high-level immortal cultivators existing above this world, possessing the great fortune of the Peng Bird clan.”

“They are existences that this world cannot compare to.”

“Great Jean, or to be precise, my imperial family members, were taken into the Vermilion Bird clan by the ancestors, and Great Jean has thus become part of the Peng Bird clan.”

“Great Jean has already been protected by the fortune of the Peng Bird clan.”

“The fortune of one of the five great spiritual clans of the immortal cultivation world is larger than that of a Middle Thousand World, let alone this small world?”

“Plus, this world was able to merge into the Shushan world range and receive feedback to begin evolution only thanks to the help of the ancestors.”

“This world has already been branded with the mark of the Peng Bird clan; the will of the Peng Bird clan is the will of this world.”

“In other words, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Jean world is the manifestation of the Peng Bird clan’s will.”

“And as a vassal dynasty of the Peng Bird clan, Great Jean...”

Pausing, Ying Zheng said loudly:

“Is truly the one to whom destiny belongs!”

“As long as the Peng Bird clan exists for a day, Great Jean will inevitably have favorable weather and a peaceful, prosperous nation!”

“Anyone who dares to defy the will of Great Jean will be cursed by the Heavenly Dao, abandoned by the world, unable to cultivate, plagued by bad luck, and will irresistibly head toward destruction!”

“It can be said that in the upcoming era of flourishing fierce beasts, these people will be the first to be destroyed.”

“Therefore...”

Ying Zheng looked with interest at some of the ministers who had already begun to tremble.

“Everyone, why are you so afraid? Could it be... that you have already felt the disgust of the Heavenly Dao?”

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of muffled thunder exploded, passing through the court and striking precisely beside some of the ministers.

At this, these people from the anti-Jean forces dared not doubt anymore and immediately knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, spare my life! Heavenly Dao, spare me! This minister deserves death! This minister was blinded by greed!”

“Your Majesty, spare my life! This minister was forced!”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This minister just took the wrong path for a moment! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!”

“Your Majesty, please give my family a way to survive!”

Li Si and the others looked in astonishment at the many colleagues kneeling on the ground; they also understood that these people were the anti-Jean forces who had infiltrated the court.

Immediately, Meng Tian and the others were furious and drew their blades.

“Beasts! His Majesty has treated you well, yet you dare to...”

Meng Tian was so angry he made a move to kill.

Ying Zheng raised his hand slightly, stopping Meng Tian.

“Let them go. I still need to use their mouths to spread this news to the many anti-Jean forces.”

“Does Minister Meng Tian not think it is more interesting to watch those anti-Jean forces wander in despair, waiting bitterly for the arrival of death?”

Meng Tian’s expression softened slightly, and he glared fiercely at the people beside him.

“Your Majesty is wise!”

Ying Zheng looked with interest at these people kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

“Go back, spread this news throughout Great Jean; perhaps you might still keep your lives.”

These ministers dared not delay, immediately kowtowing repeatedly before fleeing in a panic.

Meng Tian frowned slightly and hesitated:

“Your Majesty, do we really have to let them go? These guys don't know how many things they have done in secret that betray Great Jean.”

“Clowns, they won't live much longer.”

Ying Zheng sneered.

“If I didn't still have a use for them, just based on the fact that they infiltrated the Great Jean court as anti-Jean forces to steal national fortune...”

“Just now, the Heavenly Dao would have already sent down divine punishment to destroy all of them and their families behind them.”

“Keeping them, letting them spread this news—only knowing that death is coming but having to wait for it, that is the punishment those clowns deserve most.”

Seeing Ying Zheng say this, Meng Tian didn't say anything more and said with a smile:

“Congratulations, Your Majesty. In the future, our Great Jean court will surely work together for Great Jean, and there will be no need to worry about people with ulterior motives lurking.”

Ying Zheng just smiled and didn't say anything. After a moment, he added:

“Let’s return to the previous topic. Regarding what Minister Li Si said, the resource problem is actually not a problem.”

“When I was communicating with the ancestors earlier, the ancestors once said that within the Shushan of the upper realm, there are many high-level officials from a certain world.”

“Its name is the seven nations of Teyvat; take the Liyue of the seven nations as an example.”

“The Tianshu of Liyue joined Shushan and became a core disciple of Shushan, and Liyue was blessed because of this.”

“They used the fierce beasts brought by the recovery of spiritual energy to catalyze hundreds of master experts comparable to Ge Nie in a short period of time.”

“There are dozens of Celestial Phenomenon Grandmasters comparable to Bei Mingzi.”

“There are even several Earthly Immortal existences that surpass Zou Yan.”

“Fierce beasts are indeed a crisis, but at the same time, the flesh and blood of the fierce beasts themselves contain endless spiritual energy.”

“Martial artists who devour fierce beasts will also become stronger rapidly, so there is no need to worry about cultivation resources.”
