Chapter 268: The Imperial Court's New Policies

s local demon-suppressing divisions, they are a notch below in strength.If the imperial court really wanted to hold them accountable, even as military governors, they would not be able to escape punis..."Ancestral line!"

Looking at the boundless mountain range before him, Ji Quan's face was filled with awe.

Even if he were a God King, before his ancestral lineage, he would still be considered a junior.

Any lineage, can be considered the root of heaven and earth. If a lineage is broken, heaven and earth will eventually come to an end.

"Having once heard that our ancestral line was broken, it now seems to be restored as good as new!"

“This matter is very common for Shen Zhen to handle.”

Ji Tianlu smiled faintly.

He is now following Dongfang Zhao to the Xi Zhou region, and he has been sent to accompany this divine king who has taken refuge in the imperial court to find a place to establish his sect.

Facing a legendary god king, Ji Tianlu also felt some pressure in his heart.

But under pressure, he was even more impressed by Shen Changqing.

Such a powerful person.

The other party can bring it into the imperial palace.

Such methods are truly impressive.

"As expected!"

Ji Quan seemed to have expected this all along, after all, repairing the ancestral lineage is not something anyone can do.

"I wonder, General Ji, do you have any knowledge of General Shen Since I emerged from the Zhongxuan Realm, I haven't heard much about his deeds. I am quite curious."

Decades ago, demons wreaked havoc. Shen Zhen, who started as a small demon slayer from the Demon Suppression Division, has grown to become renowned. He eradicated demons throughout the land, destroyed the demonic clans from outside realms, established order in the world, and repaired the ancestral lineage, thus allowing the human race to thrive in its current form.

Perhaps King Jishen couldn't imagine that decades ago, someone like me was already at the peak of the human race.

When it comes to Shen Changqing, Qi Tianlu's face is full of admiration.

Please note that "

" is already English. I've removed the extra text within the tags since it wasn't there originally.

“It can be said that without Shen Zhen's guard, there would be no human race today. Therefore, when the imperial court was established, the Qi of the human race was divided in half, and he was enfeoffed as the Emperor of Humans.”

These things.

...it's a well-known secret among humans.

So saying it out loud doesn't cause any problems.

Even if one doesn't say anything themselves, the other party can find out clearly just by asking around a little.

"Aha!"

Ji Quan took a deep breath, his face filled with uncontainable shock.

He thought that Shen Changqing had been a powerful figure hundreds of years ago, but now he truly understood that the other party had only cultivated for decades.

The outside world is in turmoil, with humans and demons wreaking havoc.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This news, Ji Quan still had some hearsay.

Although the Yimijiu temple was destroyed long ago and he has been living in seclusion somewhere, amassing his strength in secret, he is still very attentive to news from the outside world.

Especially the matter of external demons invading, is widely circulated in Zhongxuan Realm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Even if he wanted to pretend he didn't know, there was no way he could.

Although Ji Tianlu beside him doesn't follow Shintoism, from his aura, Ji Quan can roughly sense the other party's strength.

Enter the Sacred Place!

Even the gods cannot reach it.

Within the Zhongxuan Realm, while entering Sainthood isn't considered a low-level cultivator, it's only barely enough to be classified as mid-to-lower level.

Such people are practically everywhere.

It's hard to imagine.

Tens of years ago, mankind, relying on such strength, actually resisted the invasion of demons.

What's even more unimaginable is...

In the circumstances where the ancestral lineage was broken and transmission ceased to exist, someone managed to blaze a new trail, starting from scratch and achieving this step.

"The Phoenix reborn from flames, the human race of the Imperial Court has endured a great tribulation and is now flourishing with vigor, far surpassing anything in the Zhongxuan Realm."

Ji Quan nodded in approval.

In the Zhongxuan realm, life had become too comfortable for far too long. They were mostly engaged in internal struggles, and although there were rumors about countless celestial races, they had never actually experienced such events. This meant that there was little to no real pressure.

The outside world is different.

The people here have experienced demonic invasions and the brink of extinction. After this thawing, they are naturally not comparable to those in the Zhongxuan Realm.

Although the strength of human beings in the outside world is still generally weak, as long as you give them some time, strong people will inevitably emerge.

Of course.

The most important point is.

The outside world has powerful beings like Shen Changqing.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even if the other party is exceptionally talented, arguably unparalleled throughout history, they might not have achieved such greatness if they had grown up in Zhongxuan Realm.

Such mighty figures appear when the time, place and people are all in harmony. None of these three factors can be lacking.

Behind him, Wen Tianchou remained silent, listening to the conversation between the two.

The more one learns about Shen Changqing, the more they respect this formidable figure from the outside world.

This is it!

Ji Quan suddenly stopped his steps and pointed at the mountain peak in front of him.

The ancestral veins stretch for millions of miles, and it is the place where the spiritual energy of the world is most abundant. Therefore, he truly chose this place as the foundation for his great undertaking.

But the ancestral lineage spanning millions of miles, although imbued with abundant spiritual energy, still exhibits certain distinctions.

The place I have chosen myself now is the main one. The density of ancestral spiritual energy here is considered top-notch.

Immortal Dao School

Ji Quan has already seen it.

To achieve immortality, spiritual energy is especially crucial.

This is in stark contrast to Shintoism.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

At the beginning, Shinto had certain requirements for spiritual energy, but later on, it became optional.

Ke Xian said, "It's different."

Before, the requirements for spiritual energy were high. However, now, the requirements for spiritual energy are even higher.

If the chosen location lacks spiritual energy, how can we make the Imperial Palace stronger

After all, after obtaining the Immortal Dao techniques, he already understood that the Divine Dao was destined to be eliminated, and only the Immortal Dao would endure.

Even himself, had thoughts of cultivating immortality.

Don't look, he has already cultivated the Tao of Gods to the peak of the third realm of God King, only one step away from entering the fourth realm of God King.

Ke Jiquan knew very well.

Even if one enters the fourth realm of the God King, they will inevitably stop there.

The reason is very simple.

Faith!

To support the existence of a Rule God is already a need for an extremely powerful belief. If it wants to support the survival of a God Lord, the amount of belief needed can only be described as enormous.

The fact that there has never been a God Master in Xuanjie's history is enough to prove this point.

Don't talk about talent issues.

Over countless years in the Xuanjie, how many peerless geniuses have emerged.

Even if one compares them to the peerless prodigies who could rival even the Immortal Gods, there are records in various factions that mention more than one such individual.

However.

All those so-called peerless geniuses, none of them were able to break through to the Divine Lord realm, they all got stuck at the fourth level of the Divine King realm until their lifespan ran out.

Even the Immortal Slaughtering God, when faced with someone who has remained at the Divine King realm for tens of thousands of years without making a breakthrough...

So in Ji Quan's view, the human race's Shinto path could only stop at the Divine King realm. Wanting to go further had no possibility.

Unless.

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The beliefs of an entire race are all concentrated in one person.

But this would certainly not be agreed to by other forces.

To put it bluntly, this is a vicious cycle with no relief in sight. The only way out is to abandon Shinto and embark on the ancient immortal path.

“Shen Zhenzhun’s meaning is that wherever Ji Shenwang chooses, can be used as the foundation for Yimingong. Since Ji Shenwang has chosen this place, then within a radius of ten thousand miles, it will belong to Yimingong.”

But now that my royal court has just been established, the resources I can utilize are limited. I can only allocate a territory to the Divine King. The remaining resources for constructing the sect's infrastructure will have to rely on the Divine King himself.

>

Ji Tianlu nodded in agreement.

“No problem.”

Ji Quan smiled slightly.

He had not really thought that the Imperial Court would fully support the construction of the Move-God Temple, and being able to provide a location with abundant spiritual energy as its foundation would be quite good.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Immediately.

Ji Tianlu took out a blank scroll, which was sealed with the Bai Di's seal.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

He recorded the corresponding region on it, then marked it with the three large characters "Shi Jinggong," and handed it over to Ji Quan.

This is a deed to land. To be truly legal within the imperial court, one must possess this deed. Should anyone occupy mountains and establish sects without it, the consequences will be severe.

Normally, the party occupying a region has to pay taxes every year. However, considering that King Jishen is a powerful member of our human race, Bai Di decided to exempt Yimeng Shenju from all taxes for the next hundred years.

But a hundred years later, the Yi Shen Temple must pay ten divine crystals or ten spirit stones annually as taxes. As long as the Yi Shen Temple does not interrupt the payment, this place will always belong to the Yi Shen Temple, and the Imperial Court will not arbitrarily reclaim it.

But if the Yimiao Shrine hasn't paid its taxes for three consecutive years, then the imperial court has the right to take back this land. I wonder if King Jishi knows this"

Ji Tianlu stated all the rules clearly and comprehensively to the other party.

Under heaven, all is within the Emperor's domain.

Paying taxes on the land was a suggestion made by a minister after the establishment of the imperial court. The purpose was to expand the imperial treasury, thereby cultivating more powerful individuals.

These years.

The Imperial Court established the Martial Academy, cultivating cultivators with almost no regard for cost. Resources were being consumed at a severe rate. If it weren't for Shen Changqing temporarily providing some resources to supplement them, the Imperial Court would have been completely drained.

But this isn't a sustainable solution.

It is difficult for the imperial court to sustain its expenses solely relying on taxes paid by the common people.

Therefore.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only then did people turn their attention to the various factions across the land.

Today, all the forces in the world, whether they are ancient sects or newly established ones, must abide by the rules of the imperial court. There is no room for personal feelings.

> On the other side.

>

Ji Quan was stunned after hearing what Ji Tianlu said, but he quickly understood.

"Such actions from the Imperial Court have truly opened my old eyes!"

This appears to be an HTML tag that is meant to indicate the end of a paragraph. In English, it would simply be:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He smiled wryly.

In the Zhongxuan realm, each faction ruled independently. Naturally, there was no concept of factions having to pay taxes. At most, when various powers built cities to shelter the populace, they would charge a certain fee, but few would target these factions directly.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.

After all, the other factions are not pushovers.

Even if the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces had the power to do so, it would be very easy to provoke a backlash from all factions.

But the imperial court was different.

The imperial court's might rules over the world, representing true dominion.

Technically speaking, all parties are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court, so the issue is not as complicated.

Received the deed.

Ji Quan said: "Please trouble you to express my thanks to the White Emperor and General Shen!"

“I will pass along the message. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
