Chapter 290: Resolving Doubts for the Multitude

"All generals, after you leave the court, go to your respective armies and transmit the cultivation techniques to your respective troops, ensuring that every soldier cultivates the technique." Liu Bian said to the group of military generals with a solemn expression.

"We obey the decree! We will definitely transmit the technique into the hands of every soldier!" The generals shouted in unison.

"Does anyone have any other points of confusion? You may speak now." Seeing that things were mostly arranged, Liu Bian asked the crowd.

"Your Majesty, how is the strength of the Martial Dao divided? Is there a distinction between strong and weak techniques?" Cao Cao, who was below the main hall, hurriedly spoke up and asked Liu Bian with confusion.

"Since I have already transmitted the cultivation methods to you, it is time to tell you about cultivation. Minister Cao is right. In the cultivation world, Martial Dao realms can be divided into the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm. I will not speak to you about the Immortal Realm; that is still very far from you. I will now tell you about the division of the Martial Dao Mortal Realm.

Martial Dao cultivation, in the Mortal Realm, can be roughly divided from low to high into: Postnatal Realm, Innate Realm, Martial Ancestor Realm, Martial King Realm, Martial Emperor Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, Martial Saint Realm, Martial God Realm, and Martial Emperor Realm.

Ru Dao cultivation is also divided into the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm. The Mortal Realm can be divided from low to high into: Tongsheng, Scholar, Juwen, Jinshi, Hanlin, Grand Scholar, Great Ru, Half-Saint, Sub-Saint, and Ru Saint. The first nine realms correspond to the nine realms of the Martial Dao, while the final Ru Saint is equal to the Immortal Realm of the Martial Dao. Each realm has nine layers; one must reach the ninth layer of the current realm before one can cultivate to break through to the next lower realm." After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked calmly at the crowd below, who were stunned into silence, just watching them quietly as they fell into a daze, letting them digest the shock brought by these results.

"Hoo, so the Martial Dao actually has so many realm divisions. It seems that before, we were truly 'a leaf obscuring the eyes.' Only now do I know who I am!" After the crowd below recovered, everyone could not help but exclaim.

"Then I wonder, what realm is Your Majesty's current cultivation at?" Suddenly, Yuan Shao, standing below the main hall, asked in a low voice.

"Shao'er, do not be presumptuous! His Majesty's cultivation is heaven-defying; how could it be something we can know? Hurry up and apologize to His Majesty!" Hearing Yuan Shao's question, Yuan Kui, standing in front, hurriedly scolded Yuan Shao. After speaking, he looked at Liu Bian cautiously.

"Old Minister Yuan, you need not be nervous. This is not something that cannot be known. My current cultivation has just broken through to the Postnatal Seventh Heaven realm." Liu Bian gave Yuan Kui a look that said it was fine and said slightly.

"What? Your Majesty has such powerful strength, yet you are only at the Postnatal Seventh Heaven? Then how powerful must the subsequent realms be? This is truly something to look forward to!" Hearing this, the ministers were instantly unsettled. They only felt that all the shocks of their entire lives combined did not equal today's.

Based on the divine might Liu Bian displayed five days ago, they felt that Liu Bian's strength should be above the Martial Ancestor realm. As a result, the Postnatal Seventh Heaven realm was actually that powerful. Thinking of the technique they had just obtained, everyone could not help but look forward to it.

Liu Bian ignored the crowd's shock and continued on his own: "As for technique grades, they can be divided from low to high into: Mortal Grade, Yellow Grade, Mystic Grade, Heaven Grade, etc. Each level is further divided into four grades: Lower Quality, Middle Quality, Upper Quality, and Supreme Quality."

"Then I wonder, what grade is the technique Your Majesty transmitted to us?" Hearing this, Cao Cao asked Liu Bian with a face full of curiosity.

"The technique I transmitted to you is currently Yellow Grade Upper Quality. However, once I have unified the world, I will have a way to raise the technique grade. The technique you are cultivating is one that can grow. Such a technique is something one can encounter but not seek." Liu Bian explained to the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I, Xun Yu, still have a doubt. I wonder if Your Majesty could resolve it for me?" Below the main hall, in the civil official ranks, a young man slightly further back stepped out, looking at Liu Bian with anticipation, and asked while bowing.

Liu Bian looked closely and felt overjoyed in his heart: "Xun Yu! He is actually here too!"

In historical records, Xun Yu was one of the important strategists under Cao Cao, possessing extraordinary intelligence and receiving high praise. However, according to historical records, after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, Xun Yu felt deeply dissatisfied with his brutal actions and resolutely resigned from his post to return home. As for exactly when he left the court, historical records did not explicitly mention it. But now it seemed that Xun Yu had not yet resigned and left, which caused a trace of surprise to surge in Liu Bian's heart.

"Xun Yu, oh Xun Yu, I will definitely cherish your talent well and will never let you die with regrets like in history." Liu Bian secretly made up his mind.

Facing Xun Yu's question, Liu Bian revealed a gentle smile on his face: "What does the minister wish to ask me? Feel free to speak."

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard Your Majesty say many times that many problems can only be resolved after the world is unified—the cultivation problem for the ministers over thirty, and the current technique improvement problem—all relate to what Your Majesty said about world unification. This humble minister is confused and implores Your Majesty to resolve this for me." Xun Yu asked what he was thinking with a face full of confusion.

"Hehe, Minister Xun asks well. I think you are all very curious about how this matter could relate to such a major event as world unification. Then I will tell you everything at once today!" Liu Bian looked at the crowd below, all of whom had confused expressions, smiled slightly, and said calmly.

"This matter is not something that cannot be spoken of. Speaking of this, I have to mention a force: the Dynasty. As long as I establish a Dynasty, then many problems will be resolved easily." Liu Bian said slowly to the crowd below with a solemn face.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what kind of force is this Dynasty?" Xun Yu hurriedly asked.

"From ancient times to the present, the countries established on our continent have only been mortal kingdoms. The one that lasted the longest was only a few hundred years, and the average life expectancy was only a few decades.

However, a Dynasty is different. If someone can gather the fortune of all living beings in the world and establish a Fortune Dynasty, then all the subjects of the entire Dynasty will receive the blessing of fortune. The country will be peaceful and the people will be secure, the weather will be favorable, and those blessed by fortune can strengthen their bodies, be free from all diseases, and their cultivation speed will be greatly improved. The concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy in the country will increase, the cultivation talent of newborn children will become better, and there will be a greater probability of being born with special constitutions, etc.

The Lord of the Dynasty and the ministers in the court will possess more fortune, and their cultivation speed will be faster. When facing strong enemies, they can use a portion of the Dynasty's fortune to bless themselves and increase their cultivation realm to face the enemy. In short, the growth of a Dynasty has no upper limit. A Dynasty is an Immortal God Kingdom. By then, all you ministers will have the possibility of becoming Immortals and Ancestors, and achieving longevity!" Liu Bian introduced the mysteries of the Dynasty to the crowd below in one breath.

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he watched the crowd below quietly, who were listening in stunned silence, their faces full of shock.

A full quarter-hour later, it was the military generals who were the first to recover: "Hoo..." Hearing the many gasps, everyone woke up and took a cold breath; it was truly too shocking.

"If you all have nothing else, then withdraw from court first. Now, you have quite a few things to do, so hurry up. Don't forget to cultivate when you go back!" Liu Bian exhorted the crowd, then waved his hand, signaling the end of the court session.

"Withdraw from court!" Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng shouted loudly. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
