Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1591 - 410: The Martial Emperor’s Divine Revelation

Jiuzhou, ever since the Martial Emperor purged the demonic specters and shattered the longstanding record, ascending to the heavens in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of the masses, ushered in a brand-new era.

Or perhaps, a new epoch.

As the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi revived, the national power of Da Xia also continued to thrive. Under the assistance of the Tower Supervisor of Qintian Monitor, the Commander of Jing Tian Department, and the Lord of Mingjing Department, Emperor Ji Yuan managed the entire realm with great order, bringing about an era of peace and tranquility.

With the onset of the new epoch, everything developed in the most splendid direction; the people lived in peace and worked happily, and the whole world prospered.

And as the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi continued to regenerate, within Jiuzhou, the strength of martial artists was also constantly strengthening. Generation after generation of talented individuals emerged. In just under twenty years, numerous practitioners of the Divine Intent Realm successively appeared.

The entire martial world was also greeted with an unprecedented fervor and an incredibly rich atmosphere of martial valor.

However, warriors who defy the law with martial prowess do so for just cause, and a martial artist’s single bout of rage can cause blood to spill within five steps, which was not merely an empty saying.

Although Da Xia’s national power rose day by day, there were increasingly numerous tragedies caused by conflicts between martial artists, and these even significantly affected the common people.

Therefore, originally tasked with countering demonic specters, Qintian Monitor, upon the orders of Emperor Ji Yuan, once again began focusing on oversight of martial world forces and their purgation.

With the presence of the heavenly martial Daoist immortals, like the Commander Wei Cang, the might of Jing Tian Department can be described as exceedingly formidable, unrivaled by any force in the martial world.

But because of this, as the strength of Jiuzhou steadily increased, the disputes between Da Xia and the martial world also grew more severe.

Emperor Ji Yuan unified the realm, admired by countless in Jiuzhou as the Imperial Sovereign. However, martial artists are fundamentally of a rather volatile nature and naturally dissatisfied with the court’s restrictions upon them.

Over time, entanglements deepened, and contradictions became even more severe.

Thus, as of now, the largest conflict in Jiuzhou is the opposition between the court and the martial world.

"Have you heard? Recently, Jing Tian Department clashed with Mysterious Robe League. Several experts above the level of innate grandmasters from both sides took action. The fight was intense; the earth shook, rivers of blood were shed, and at least a hundred masters perished!"

In a tavern within Da Xia’s Tiandu, many martial artists were fervently discussing the recent confrontation between the court and the martial world.

"It is said that even Martial Emperor Pavilion and Diancang Pavilion had thoughts of intervening. Now, the three great forces of the martial world have assembled to mount resistance against the court!"

"Not just that, it’s rumored that the Pavilion Chief of Martial Emperor Pavilion and the Pavilion Master of Diancang Pavilion themselves took action and went to Jiangzhou’s largest force, Longhu Mountain’s Tianshi Sect, seeking an audience with the elder Tianshi, wishing for him to come out of seclusion to become the martial alliance leader, to preside over the affairs of the martial community."

"So, what happened in the end? Did the elder Tianshi come out of seclusion?"

This piece of news caused a stir among the crowd in the tavern. The Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, what kind of person was he? He had witnessed the rise of the Martial Emperor himself twenty years ago—a figure of incredibly high status!

In fact, now anyone associated with the Martial Emperor of those days either held a high office within the court or commanded great fame in the martial world.

Take, for instance, the current Deputy Commander of Jing Tian Department, Chen Yu, who was not yet fifty but already possessed the formidable strength of the Divine Intent Realm. Just one more step forward, and he would attain martial Daoist immortality, joining the ranks of heavenly beings, with extraordinary might.

Then there’s the current Canghai Sect Sect Master, Zhang Zining, who along with Deputy Sect Master Yu Qiushi was once called the ’Canghai Twins’ and made a significant name for themselves in the martial world. Today, he has led the Canghai Sect to become the foremost of the eight sects and is honored by all as the Wave-Breaking Sword.

It is said that in his youth, he became acquainted with the Martial Emperor through a low-grade divine weapon and hence, became half a disciple of the Martial Emperor.

And speaking of his younger sister, Zhang Yining, she is now the supreme elder of Yao Platform Sect, second only to the Sect Master LiuLuo, with her martial cultivation also being incredibly distinguished.

"Just look at today’s martial world and the court, and you will realize how extraordinary the Martial Emperor was," a martial artist reflected.

No matter the time, even after all these years, the world still cannot omit a name in their discussions—the Martial Emperor—Gu Chen!

Although he had left Jiuzhou for many years, his name continued to be remembered by people everywhere.

Even the statue of the Martial Emperor, which Emperor Ji Yuan had spared no effort in creating, still stands to this very day, with countless individuals paying their respects daily.

But little do these people know, the Martial Emperor Gu Chen, whom they speak of with such reverence, is presently sitting in a corner of the tavern, quietly listening to these interesting stories.

Yes, to Gu Chen today, the little squabbles of Jiuzhou’s martial artists can only be considered amusing anecdotes.

"I haven’t seen it for a while, and Tiandu has become even more prosperous," Gu Chen muttered while sitting by the window on the second floor of the tavern, lightly sipping on the famous brew of the place, then turning his gaze out the window.

Compared to the Tiandu of his time, it had grown many times more prosperous. The streets were bustling with people, carriages flowed ceaselessly, and even the scope of the imperial city had expanded considerably.

"Emperor Ji Yuan, Tower Supervisor, Commander Wei, Lord Luo." Gu Chen’s gaze penetrated all barriers, seeing Emperor Ji Yuan in the palace reviewing memorials, and the half-dozing Tower Supervisor atop the Star Gazing platform of Bagua Building.

As well as Jing Tian Department’s Commander Wei Cang and Lord Luo of the Mingjing Department.
