Chapter 769: Five Emperors Fist

"Hoo—"

"I never expected that by borrowing the aid of the Main Realm this time, I would be able to raise my cultivation to the Martial Venerable Third Heaven realm in one go."

"However, now that my cultivation has reached the Martial Venerable realm, I can finally begin to use the power of space."

"Some simple spatial techniques can now be used with ease!"

"Moreover, with my cultivation breaking through to the Martial Venerable realm, the 'Supreme Emperor Art' has unlocked another martial technique!"

After sighing with emotion, Liu Bian moved his body and returned to the Imperial Study.

This improvement was enormous for him.

In his estimations, it would have been quite good if he could have raised his cultivation to the Martial Venerable realm.

He had not expected that this improvement would far exceed his expectations.

Immediately, Liu Bian began to examine the newly unlocked martial technique.

Five Emperors Fist: A growth-type martial technique; its power increases with the practitioner's strength. When cultivated to the Great Completion realm, one can shatter the heavens and earth with a punch and suppress all heavens.

The Five Emperors Fist is divided into nine forms: Green Emperor Longevity Fist, Black Emperor Vast Sea Fist, Yellow Emperor Mountain-Shaking Fist, Gold Emperor War-Ending Fist, Flame Emperor Heaven-Burning Fist, Five Emperors World-Governing Fist, Five Emperors Patrol Fist, Five Emperors Territory-Opening Fist, and Five Emperors Dragon-Ruling Fist.

Each form possesses the immense power to suppress all heavens and sweep away everything.

Each time a form of this fist technique is executed, it can condense the corresponding phantom of one of the Five Emperors.

Especially the final four forms, which can even condense the phantoms of the Five Emperors to defend against enemies.

"Excellent! With the Five Emperors Fist, I have gained yet another offensive method."

Upon seeing the introduction to the Five Emperors Fist, even with Liu Bian's temperament, he could not help but feel excited.

With this Five Emperors Fist, Liu Bian's attack methods had increased by one more.

Immediately, the high-spirited Liu Bian called Li Liangcheng, who was outside the Imperial Study, inside.

"This Servant greets Your Majesty!"

As the Eunuch Chief Steward, Li Liangcheng now also possessed the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Sixth Heaven.

"Summon all officials of the Fourth Rank and above to come to the Dilin Hall to discuss matters!"

After speaking to Li Liangcheng, Liu Bian headed toward the Dilin Hall first.

Outside the Imperial Study, upon seeing Liu Bian appear, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed closely behind him.

Nowadays, Xu Chu had also been transferred by Liu Bian into the Huben Army to serve as a Deputy General.

Although Dian Wei and Xu Chu had been guarding Liu Bian and the safety of the Imperial Palace all along,

their cultivation had not lagged behind at all; both of them now possessed the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Seventh Heaven.

Half an hour later, all officials gathered in the Dilin Hall.

"We greet Your Majesty, wishing Your Majesty boundless longevity!"

Having broken through to the Martial Venerable realm, Liu Bian exerted even greater pressure on the officials.

Although Liu Bian had already restrained all of his aura,

the invisible Imperial Aura he emitted still made the officials dare not look him directly in the eye.

"Rise, my subjects!"

Liu Bian raised his hand in a gesture, his imposing voice echoing in the Dilin Hall.

"We thank Your Majesty!"

After the officials rose, Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng shouted loudly:

"If you have matters to report, speak; if not, the court is dismissed!"

As Li Liangcheng's voice fell, Minister of War Cao Cao stepped out and said respectfully to Liu Bian:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has a memorial to present!"

Hearing this, Liu Bian scanned Cao Cao and said with an imposing voice:

"Proceed!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all army corps have finished tallying their battle merits, the Ministry of War has verified them, and the Inner Cabinet has discussed the rewards. I request Your Majesty to review them!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, Li Liangcheng took the memorial Cao Cao held high and respectfully handed it to Liu Bian.

After receiving the memorial, Liu Bian gave it a quick scan, and seeing there was nothing that needed changing, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Good, you have handled this matter well. Proceed as planned!"

"Also, collect the souls of all the soldiers from the various army corps who died in this battle."

"The pension funds for them must be distributed in full. If anyone dares to reach their hands into this, I will execute their nine clans!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, everyone felt a chill wash over them.

Cao Cao heard this and responded loudly to Liu Bian: "This subject obeys the edict. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the Ministry of War will follow this matter closely and will absolutely not let Your Majesty down!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he turned his gaze toward Xun Yu.

"Wenruo, now that the eight great worlds have just merged into the Main Realm, these cities are currently all under the responsibility of the various garrison corps."

"I give you three months. Your Ministry of Personnel must select suitable officials to go to these cities to take up their posts."

Minister of Personnel Xun Yu heard this, immediately stepped out, and responded respectfully to Liu Bian:

"This subject obeys the edict!"

Nowadays, the Great Han had the support of various academies behind it, and with such a massive population, the thing it lacked the least was talent.

Therefore, Xun Yu could still manage to select people within three months.

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze toward Hall Master of the Hall of Worship, Zhang Sanfeng.

"Hall Master Zhang, the teleportation arrays in the newly added cities for your Hall of Worship must not be neglected either."

"Teleportation arrays are of the utmost importance. During this period, your Hall of Worship will have to work hard to deploy them into every city as quickly as possible."

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Zhang Sanfeng's expression shook, and he responded with a solemn face:

"This subject obeys the edict. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subject and the Tribute of the Hall of Worship will definitely deploy the teleportation arrays to every city as quickly as possible."

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and said to the officials:

"The rest of you, follow the arrangements of the Inner Cabinet and the Six Ministers. All matters concerning the newly added cities must be consistent with the other parts of our Great Han Empire."

"The lives of the people of the eight worlds must also be the same as ours in the Great Han. Dragon-Tooth Rice, Spirit Rice, and all other daily necessities must be provided to them."

"The local academies must also keep up. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, come find me."

The officials heard this and all responded respectfully to Liu Bian:

"We obey the edict!"

One must know that after the eight great worlds merged into the Great Han Main Realm this time, the newly added population was in the tens of billions.

Such a massive population increased the population of the Great Han Empire by nearly two times.

Just the number of officials needed was massive, not to mention that they also needed to arrange for large armies to garrison them.

Just the army needed was over a hundred million.

However, fortunately, the thing the Great Han Empire lacked the least was warriors.

As long as the Ministry of War issued the recruitment documents, this army of over a hundred million could be formed in less than a month.

And currently, with the various army corps garrisoning them, it would not cause any impact on the Great Han.

"After everything is arranged, the Inner Cabinet will re-divide the newly added regions of these eight great worlds into states and prefectures."

"Nowadays, the eleven states of our Great Han Main Realm are no longer enough to use."

"This time, add eight new states to the newly added places. As for the prefectures and commanderies under them, the Inner Cabinet will discuss and decide together." ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
