Cui Heng brought Pei Qingshu to Luling City.
This large city had already changed a lot from when they first came 30 years ago. It was no longer as chaotic and “free” as before. It could barely be considered a peaceful place to live and work.
Cui Heng looked at the people coming and going on the streets in an orderly manner and smiled. “Qingshu, do you still remember what you said about the people here more than 30 years ago?”
“I remember.” Pei Qingshu nodded and looked around. “30 years ago, I said that the people here are more beast-like than human. They’re just a group of high-level monkeys.
In the past, other than the aristocratic families, there were no rules in Luling City. There was too much freedom and the people became beastly. However, after 30 years of governance by Brother Li, it’s much better now.”
30 years ago, Li Quan had retired from the position of the head of the Li Family in Luling City and was replaced by Li Cheng.
Li Cheng changed the previous attitude of the aristocratic families not caring about the people in the city and began to govern the city properly. He opened schools, taught martial arts, and taught the people so that they could see hope for advancement.
This was why Luling City looked like this now.
“But this is still a city after all,” Cui Heng said meaningfully. “The ordinary people on Chongyang Planet still don’t see any hope. As long as they’re not the descendants of large families, there’s a high chance that they’ll sink forever.”
“Master, you mean…” Pei Qingshu understood Cui Heng’s meaning after thinking for a moment. “You want to open up and educate the people on the entire Chongyang Star and pass them martial techniques?”
“That’s right.” Cui Heng nodded and said, “I’ll impart the Martial Dao True Body cultivation technique you cultivate to give all ordinary people hope. At the same time, I’ll reveal the truth of the Immortal True Essence cultivation technique.”
Pei Qingshu’s Martial Dao True Body technique had a special characteristic.
That was that the requirements for one’s aptitude were not high, and they did not need to rely on a lot of resources.
The only thing he needed was for them to be willing to fight without restraint and be bold enough to fight.
As long as they cultivated to the Qi Sensing realm, they would have a physical recovery ability that far exceeded that of martial artists of the same level.
Even if they were beaten half to death, they could recover most of their strength and increase their strength greatly.
This was undoubtedly the most suitable martial technique for ordinary people to cultivate. Even the poorest families could cultivate it.
“Master, are you asking me to be the ancestor of the Martial Dao True Body?” Pei Qingshu said excitedly.
As a martial artist who had walked a new path, he naturally wanted to pass down his legacy. However, he could not do this before obtaining Cui Heng’s permission.
After all, the reason why this path could be completed was mainly because of Cui Heng’s help.
“Of course.” Cui Heng smiled and said, “You walked out of the beginning of this path yourself. If I don’t let you teach the technique, who else will? As long as you’re willing, just do it.”
“Yes, Master!” Pei Qingshu cupped his hands in excitement, but then he had some concerns. “Master, the Martial Dao True Body Technique places great importance on battle. The core of cultivation is battle.
“If this cultivation method spreads, will it cause the entire Chongyang Star to fall into an endless battle and make the lives of the people inferior to the present?”
“That’s indeed a problem.” Cui Heng nodded and smiled. “Do you have any solutions?”
This was a question that he had deliberately left out. The goal was to let Pei Qingshu think for himself and quickly enter the role of a leader governing the world.
“I have some thoughts,” Pei Qingshu said in a low voice. “Master, the Martial Dao True Body technique does need to be cultivated by fighting constantly, but not all battles will affect the people’s livelihood.
From the scope of Chongyang Star, only chaotic and casual battles will affect the people’s livelihood. Orderly battle will not affect it.
In order to let these aggressive martial artists carry out orderly battles, the first thing is to formulate the relevant laws of a martial arts competition and implement them through a powerful administrative government.
This way, as long as the administrative government is powerful enough, the martial artists will not dare to violate the rules. They can only fight according to the venues stipulated by the law and not overly disturb the people’s livelihood.”
“What if it’s a Heaven Immortal or even a Mystic Deity martial artist who violated the rules?” Cui Heng asked with a smile. “It’s impossible for the power of the government to increase indefinitely.”
“Master, please guide me,” Pei Qingshu said respectfully.
“Actually, your train of thought is right.” Cui Heng first confirmed Pei Qingshu’s thoughts and nodded. “Establish an administrative government. Through powerful restrictions, martial artists will not dare to disturb the people’s livelihood.”
Then, he changed the topic and said, “However, it’s obviously impossible to restrict all the martial artists on Chongyang with just the power of the administrative government.
“Therefore, I will help you do this restriction well. However, what you have to build is not only the country’s laws, but also the relevant laws and principles that restrict martial artists from fighting casually.
For example, directly creating rules on the level of nomological laws. As long as it’s within a certain range of the city, martial artists can’t use too much power.
In that case, to ordinary people, the city is an absolute safety zone. As long as they stay in the city, they don’t have to worry about dying in the aftermath of a battle between powerful martial artists.
We can also set up the main roads along the way like this. We can limit the beasts around the roads from stepping onto the roads to prevent the people from being on tenterhooks while traveling. At the same time, we can strengthen the country’s rule over the local areas.”
“…” Pei Qingshu’s eyes were already wide open. He looked at Cui Heng in shock and said, “Master, you mean to directly set the nomological laws to restrict martial artists from fighting?”
Could this still be done?
This was the nomological laws that concerned whether a planet could operate normally. It could also be directly set?
“Of course.” Cui Heng nodded and said with a smile, “Actually, I still have some other thoughts, but it won’t be too late to talk about them after you build this framework.”
The Law and Order spell could be used to do many things. There were many interesting ways to play with it. It could be used to try and see if it could change the current situation of this world.
“Thank you, Master!” Pei Qingshu bowed respectfully. “With Master setting the rules, I can do whatever I want. I definitely won’t disappoint Master!”
“Go on then.” Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled.
….
Pei Qingshu acted decisively.
Not long after his conversation with Cui Heng ended, he took action.
Half a month later, after Pei Qingshu made some basic preparations, he directly announced that he would step down as the Sect Master of the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect.
At the same time, he announced that he wanted to establish a country that included all the towns and villages on Chongyang Star.
At the same time, Luling City, the Nine Deaths Heavenly Sect, the Plague Imperial Palace, and the Netherworld Sacred Sect announced their support for King Linjiang and willingly submitted to him, obeying his orders.
For a moment, the world was shocked. The entire Five Views Realm’s attention was focused on Chongyang Star.
From time to time, Sages would come over to investigate the situation or pay their respects to Pei Qingshu.
Now that there were more than 500 Sages in the Five Views Realm, it meant that at least dozens of Sages would come to Chongyang Star every day, greatly distracting Pei Qingshu.
He had not expected this situation.
In the end, he could only give the order to temporarily close the external passage to Chongyang Star. Whoever wanted to come to Chongyang Star had to first send the visitation card to King Linjiang Mansion and obtain approval before they could enter Chongyang Star.
This action naturally caused many Sages to be dissatisfied, but no one openly offended Pei Qingshu.
They could only secretly say that Pei Qingshu’s move would definitely fail.
After all, Pei Qingshu had an unbelievably powerful figure backing him. To be able to take out hundreds of Myriad Techniques Return to One Pill, offending such a person was simply courting death.
Due to the power that Pei Qingshu had accumulated previously, coupled with the Li family and the other two Immortal sects, the process of unifying Chongyang Star was extremely smooth.
It only took a year.
This was because the territory was too big. Otherwise, it would have been completed long ago.
After completing the unification, Pei Qingshu officially became the Emperor.
The country’s name was Wu, and it was established in Luling Capital.
Pei Qingshu became the Founding Emperor of the Wu Dynasty. At the same time, he began to divide the various administrative regions and set up an official system.
At this point, the entire process did not attract much attention from the ordinary people. To the people, this was just changing the person who ruled them from an aristocratic family to an official sent by the Imperial Court.
They had yet to sense the difference.
However, as the first decree of the Wu Dynasty was issued, all the commoners could not sit still anymore.
“…Enlighten education and teach martial arts. Anyone who is at least seven years old, regardless of gender, wealth, or status, can register at the local office to learn martial arts…”
This sudden decree stunned all the ordinary people on Chongyang Star.
Especially after learning that the martial techniques taught by the government actually pointed a path to the realms of Limitless Golden Immortal, countless Heaven Immortals and Mystic Deities were alarmed.
Since ancient times, martial arts had been controlled by large aristocratic families and sects. Ordinary people would be considered lucky if they could learn some mediocre martial arts. They did not even dare to think about becoming an Immortal or a Sage.
Now, the government was actually going to teach such a divine technique?!
It was simply unbelievable!
However, another piece of extremely explosive news quickly appeared, causing all the Immortal World martial artists on Chongyang Star to fall into shock.
The martial techniques taught by the government could allow one to become a Golden Immortal without the Immortal True Essence.
And it was even stronger than the orthodox path!
They even openly declared that the cultivation method with the Immortal True Essence as the core was wrong.
Moreover, news of this quickly spread outside Chongyang Star. The Five Views Realm, as well as the realms and starry skies that frequently interacted with the Five Views Realm, also learned about it.
This was definitely an earth-shattering matter.
This was equivalent to subverting the cultivation method in the myriad worlds.
This meant that all the Golden Immortals and Sages had cultivated wrongly!
Countless Golden Immortals, Limitless Golden Immortals, and Sages came when they heard the news, but they were all blocked outside Chongyang Star, unable to enter.
Inside Chongyang Star, there were all kinds of opinions on how to deal with this problem.
The newly established Wu Dynasty immediately became a storm.
Cui Heng, who had personally created all of this, sat on the clouds. His eyes were slightly closed as he sat cross-legged and looked into his Purple Mansion, paying attention to the changes in his Nascent Soul.
