Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 210 - 200: Being Ennobled as the Marquis of Dragon Sword, I Am Truly Not a People’s Entrepreneur
Ten days later.
The name "Tyrant Emperor" Tang Tianyi resonated throughout the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, causing countless sects to find him a thorny and troublesome opponent.
The great war had ended.
The final outcome was Bo Qing being recruited by the Daxuan Dynasty and taken away.
However, the repercussions of this event were like a massive meteor cast into the sea, stirring up myriad waves and triggering successive tsunamis.
True Transmission-level figures from various sects, upon hearing of Bo Qing’s journey to sainthood, flocked to the front lines. They too wished to burn fiercely in battle, to sublimate themselves, and thereby break through the Saint Achievement Immortal Transcending Tribulation to become the next Martial Saint.
For example, "Little Wolf Saint" Long Zhandu of Phoenix Creek Sect and "Skyless Hand" Zhao Wutian of Qinglu Taoist Temple had already mobilized.
Because of Bo Qing’s experience, the intensity of the frontline battles was suddenly pushed to its peak, tragically spectacular, composing one heroic and moving tale after another.
...
...
The royal palace was resplendent and magnificent, a stunningly beautiful edifice.
Outside the palace, a pure white Cloud Boat, drawn by four Green Phoenix Birds, moved slowly along the grand avenue, leaving this area and heading towards the newly constructed Marquis Mansion.
Inside the Cloud Boat, Hong Yuan and Phoenix Princess Tang Xi sat facing each other across a tea table. The nearby maidservants kept their heads bowed low, daring not to eavesdrop.
"What plans does the Marquis of Dragon Sword have for the future?" Tang Xi asked with a charming smile, her beautiful eyes full of expression.
Marquis of Dragon Sword... Hong Yuan’s mind drifted for a moment.
He had never imagined that he would be ennobled as a marquis by the Daxuan Emperor.
Nor had he expected to be drawn into the conflict between the Daxuan Dynasty and the various major sects, becoming a ’Killing Sword’ for the Daxuan Dynasty to wield against them.
In future wars, would I have to stage an interminable battle between an Incarnation of Sword Tao and an Incarnation of Power Tao?
At this thought, the corners of Hong Yuan’s mouth lifted slightly.
Better to live idly than die heroically. I might as well slack off.
Hong Yuan sipped his tea. "I have long heard of the fame of the Five Great Academy. I plan to visit the Eastern Wilderness Academy during my secluded cultivation, perhaps I’ll find some opportunities there."
"Hm?!" Tang Xi’s phoenix-like eyebrows arched slightly, her surprise evident.
The Eastern Wilderness Academy was one of Dragon Sun Martial Emperor’s Tao Heritages. It contained multiple Creations and even possessed secret methods and treasures that could aid Martial Saints in transcending tribulations and seeking refuge—all of which were indescribably wonderful.
However, entry into the Eastern Wilderness Academy required comprehending the spirit of Human Tao and gaining the approval of Book Mountain within the Heaven Earth Secret Realm.
Phoenix Princess Tang Xi thought helplessly, Bo Qing, oh Bo Qing, have you forgotten you were once known as the ’Blood Demon Sword’?
Though these were her thoughts, Tang Xi masterfully controlled her expression, betraying nothing.
Hong Yuan said no more.
Sometimes, worldly prejudices truly could confine people’s perspectives.
He had no intention of correcting them; a swordsman should let his sword do the talking.
HUMMM... The Heavenly River Sword vibrated, emitting a resonant hum, seemingly in full agreement with Hong Yuan’s philosophy.
A quarter of an hour later, Hong Yuan successfully arrived at the Marquis Mansion.
With the assistance of Phoenix Princess Tang Xi, he took control of the Marquis Mansion.
After bidding Tang Xi farewell, Hong Yuan headed to the training room within the mansion.
Tang Xi watched Hong Yuan’s unhesitatingly departing figure, a contemplative look flashing in her eyes:
Indifferent to fine food and wine, not even to beautiful women or delightful music. Bo Qing, Imperial Grandfather said you were like a cold sword, and it seems he was quite right.
...
The training room was constructed entirely of white metal and had an unusual design; each area was engraved with the image of a different bird of prey.
Looking at the images of the Green Wind Roc, Golden Arrow Gryphon, and Green Phoenix Bird, Hong Yuan waved his hand grandly. Sword wind stirred, and in an instant, the training room’s appearance changed, becoming simple and unadorned.
Afterward, Hong Yuan took out a Taoist Mat and placed it in a corner of the training room.
He then shrank his Blessed Land into a single point, concealing it beneath the Taoist Mat.
His form flickered, and Hong Yuan entered the Blessed Land.
If anyone wished to attack his Blessed Land, they would first need to locate that single point.
Hong Yuan’s Blessed Land was exceedingly vast. Even though a portion of its territory had collapsed due to danger, it still spanned over ten million mu, undeniably a top-tier Blessed Land.
With such a huge region, he could easily cultivate Variant Seed Ferocious Beasts, nurture Spirit Plants near Energy Springs, or even raise a group of Fox Cultivators or Ox Demons to help him refine Instruments and establish factory production lines.
Gazing at the Blessed Land’s specialty, the Azure Sword River, Hong Yuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
The land is vast, yet resources are scarce. With this, my fortunes are set to soar. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
A joyful smile appeared on Hong Yuan’s face. It seems I need to become a philanthropic entrepreneur and generously bestow blessings upon this world.
This time, in seeking revenge for his Senior Brother Mo Jiuyou, the rewards from the Blessed Land alone made Hong Yuan immensely happy.
Especially when he observed the illusory images of a great sun and a bright moon coalescing above, the arch of his eyebrows rose even higher.
Hong Yuan thought, The Blessed Land shall be named ’Heavenly River’.
For a Blessed Land to possess celestial phenomena was already a rare occurrence.
If there were distinctions between day and night, it proved that this world already possessed profound depth. At the very least, its Temporal Tao laws were relatively complete.
Generally, Blessed Lands capable of exhibiting celestial phenomena were considered first-rate.
Hong Yuan’s Heavenly River Blessed Land was just beginning to manifest such celestial phenomena.
Moreover, the distinction between day and night was often a characteristic of Cave Heavens.
Blessed Lands are small worlds. Above them are even more complete small worlds known as Cave Heavens.
Although the Heavenly River Blessed Land did not yet possess the characteristics of a Cave Heaven, it was not far from achieving them.
Hong Yuan felt as if he could see a vibrant scene of all things flourishing and competing in growth, everything brimming with vitality, right before his eyes.
After inventorying the Blessed Land, it’s time to take stock of the Tao Marks I possess.
Hong Yuan closed his eyes, observing the Heavenly River Sword Body, which had advanced to a Saintly physique.
Within the Heavenly River Sword Body, Sword Tao Marks, each imbued with qualities such as sharpness, fieriness, or coldness, were mostly concentrated in his hands.
The more he counted, the more satisfied Hong Yuan became, even letting out a soft groan of contentment.
"Two hundred marks..."
"Three hundred marks..."
"Five hundred marks..."
After counting the final Sword Tao Mark, Hong Yuan shivered slightly, an immense sense of comfort washing over him.
There were a total of six hundred sixty-three Tao Marks.
Experiencing an earthly calamity in a Blessed Land or Cave Heaven typically grants a Martial Saint three hundred Tao Marks. A Heaven Tribulation, on the other hand, grants nine hundred Tao Marks.
Yet, Hong Yuan’s Heavenly River Blessed Land already bore six hundred sixty-three Tao Marks without him having experienced any tribulations.
This was equivalent to his Heavenly River Blessed Land having passively overcome two calamities without him needing to endure great hardship, granting him a significant advantage over ordinary Martial Saints.
Delightful!
No need to count the Divine Powers. The most precious thing is the Heavenly River Sword advancing to a Holy Artifact; now that’s the real big opportunity! Hong Yuan thought, smiling as he looked at the Heavenly River Sword.
The Heavenly River Sword hovered in the air, darting around Hong Yuan like a tireless little butterfly.
A sixth-order Instrument is a Holy Artifact. Its kind was unique.
At any given time, within the vastness of heaven and earth, there would only be one such unique item.
Holy Artifacts are even rarer than Martial Saints; many sixth-order Martial Saints do not even possess one.
If he hadn’t utilized the Holy Artifact, the Heavenly River Sword, Hong Yuan wouldn’t have been able to so easily execute the Earth-rank Divine Power, "Ancient Sword Dragon Transformation." It was by relying on it that he managed to stall for a considerable amount of time, ultimately securing aid from the Daxuan Royal Family.
It’s time to go to Treasured Yellow Heaven. If only my Ice Armor Python Avatar also possessed a Demon Realm, how great that would be. Looking at the empty Heavenly River Blessed Land, Hong Yuan felt a stirring in his heart.
With a flick of his hand, the Communicating Sky Bug appeared.
One Green Grapes Immortal Nuance was expended as Hong Yuan connected to Treasured Yellow Heaven.
Treasured Yellow Heaven was built on the foundation of the Cave Heaven of Monarch Duobao, a Quasi-Emperor. It functioned much like a real-time trading platform.
Ferocious Beasts, Demon Cultivators, Spirit Plants, and even Holy Artifact formulas were all available for trade.
Activating the Communicating Sky Bug allowed one to link up to Treasured Yellow Heaven for trading.
"Sword Leaf Butterfly, Sting Sea Shark, Exhaling Essence Tree..."
Hong Yuan purchased various Ferocious Beasts and all kinds of Spirit Plants using the one hundred Immortal Nuance Stones gifted by Tang Xi. He then placed them in different regions of the Heavenly River Blessed Land.
The Heavenly River Blessed Land gradually gained a hint of liveliness.
I should visit Treasured Yellow Heaven from time to time and see if any Fox Cultivators are for sale.
