Hua Kai rewarded the 200 people who participated in the battle with more than 200 million points. Before everyone could celebrate, the newly refined Golden Wind Qi-replenishing Elixir was sold for 60 million points. Half price was 30 million points, and seven elixirs were 210 million points.
Many people had their points borrowed before they even received them. For the sake of an eighth-grade elixir, everyone used all the means at their disposal to accumulate the final 30 million points and apply for a Golden Wind Qi-replenishing Elixir.
Of the seven Golden Wind Qi-replenishing Elixirs, one was taken by King Lu, one was taken by Xue Pan, one was taken by the Yan Clan, one was taken by the Feng Clan, one was taken by Hua Xuan, and the remaining two were taken by Hua Yue and Huang Guangwen. These seven people represented seven different factions in Hua Xia.
Hua Kai did this for the sake of the unity of the aristocratic families in the country. In order to obtain points from others, one had to have a powerful faction and connections.
After purchasing the elixir and entering the Golden Elixir Realm, they would have to repay the kindness of the aristocratic families who helped them. This would also allow everyone to better understand what responsibility, sacrifice, and responsibility were.
If the human race wanted to enter an unprecedented golden age, there had to be a group of people at the front, just like the people of Hua Xia who risked their lives to kill the great demon.
After the great demon from the golden bull died, Hua Kai explored the Taurus Valley.
He discovered that this place was formed by a special natural matrix. The matrix did not have any offensive or defensive abilities. It could only allow spiritual plants to grow quickly. The more spiritual energy the spiritual plants had, the faster they grew. It was clearly another blessed land.
In half a month, Hua Chengmin sent more than 20,000 yellow bulls to Eastern Deity Island using the Demon-suppressing Lamp. He stayed on Eastern Deity Island and was responsible for taming the yellow bulls.
These yellow bulls were huge. If they could be turned into spiritual beasts, it would be of great significance to the entire Eastern Deity Island.
Hua Kai ordered people to search Taurus Valley while he had people turn the corpses into dried spirit cows. He saw that the valley was beautiful, and the weather was much warmer than outside. It was already mid-October, and South Peace City had already entered winter, but the weather was still very mild. Hua Kai wanted to build a city in Taurus Valley. When the time came, it would become an important city in China.
The Taurus Valley had an area of 240 square kilometers, or 360,000 mu, enough to support a few million people. It was possible to build a city with a population of over 300,000 people, and with South Peace City to the east and west, they could control the entire Eastern Ridge Mountain Range.
After dealing with the Taurus Great Demon, it was almost winter this year. After cleaning up the Taurus Valley, everyone began to return to the city for the winter. Hua Kai could finally take a break.
The Eastern Ridge Mountain Range, which was about one million square kilometers, was no longer very dangerous. Hua Kai had cleared out the demonic beasts inside countless times over the past five years. All the demonic beasts had been cleared out by them. There were only a few low-level demonic beasts and a small number of mid-level demonic beasts left. Hua Kai did not plan to participate. He would let the Hua Xia Military Council deal with them slowly.
Although Hua Kai had been clearing out the demonic beasts in the Nanyue Mountain Range for the past five years, his writing had not fallen behind. "Pangu's Creation of the Heavens and Earth" had allowed him to depict 2,207 gods and demons. Pangu himself had reached the great circle of the Golden Elixir Realm in the virtual space. The entire Chaotic World was in the process of being perfected.
This first part was the shortest part of the Five Great Trials that Hua Kai wanted to write. However, it was also the most important and the most complicated.
He planned to complete this work within three years. By then, it would at least be another sacred text. Moreover, he felt that his hope of breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm was in the depiction of the new world.
Everyone's path of cultivation was different. They focused on different things, and their methods of advancement were also different.
During the winter, Hua Kai quietly wrote. As long as the Military Council did not ask him to take action, he would no longer care about the wild beasts attacking the city.
In the past few years, the number of wild beasts in the Nanyue Mountain Range had sharply decreased. Hua Kai would not do everything by himself. He had to train more people to rely on him.
He needed to train more people to participate in the battle against the wild beasts. He was not afraid of more casualties among the human race.
Ying Capital, Chu Palace.
Chu King sat on the throne. There were only a few ministers below him. In the past few years, most of the Chu families had pledged allegiance to the Hua Xia Kingdom. Chu had reached an agreement with the Hua Xia Kingdom that the Chu family would be responsible for the Ying Capital region. The Hua Xia Kingdom would not interfere.
The Hua Xia Empire agreed and managed the other regions of the Chu Country very well. The price of food in the various regions fell greatly, and all kinds of goods made the entire Chu Country become incomparably prosperous. The commoners were very satisfied with their current lives, and they all praised the Emperor for saving them.
According to the statistics of the Hua Xia Government Council, in the past five years, all the Chu regions except Ying Capital had a birth rate of more than 12%. Adding in the people from other provinces of the Hua Xia Kingdom, the population of Chu had returned to three million. However, the population of Ying Capital had decreased by more than half.
Chu's largest city had begun to decline. Many shops had closed long ago. King Chu had never directly communicated with Hua Kai. The Hua family had excluded the Chu family from the Hua Xia Kingdom. This had caused the Chu family to become weaker and weaker in the past few years. The once second most powerful country in the Central Plains had no chance of turning the tables.
However, King Chu still had the desire to unify the world. He had been reluctant to submit to the Hua Xia Kingdom because he had the same thoughts as Qin Zheng. This time, the Hua Xia Kingdom had killed a Great Demon in the Nanyue Mountain Range. This had caused the final resolve of the aristocratic families in Ying Capital to waver.
"Your Majesty, in the past few years, the aristocratic families that have submitted to the Hua Xia Kingdom have participated in the Hua Xia trade. Many places have built large batches of workshops.
The aristocratic families that followed the Hua Xia Kingdom to clear out the Nanyue Mountain Range have also made a lot of money. They have given the spiritual herbs and strange stones they harvested to the Hua family in exchange for large amounts of pills and high-grade weapons.
The Hua Xia Kingdom's savage beast meat has dropped to eight silver per catty. Demonic beast meat is now only three gold per catty.
However, the people of Ying Capital can't even afford ordinary meat. If we don't think of a way, all the aristocratic families will leave! "Minister Chu said to King Chu.
King Chu remained silent. His face was filled with disappointment. He had expected the Hua Xia Kingdom to kill a Great Demon, but he hadn't expected that not a single person from the Hua Xia Kingdom would die. The Hua Xia Kingdom's trump card was beyond his imagination.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of the Hua Xia Kingdom, Hua Chengmin, is twenty-four years old this year. He was born as a Foundation Establishment Emperor and is now at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm. He possesses two immortal artifacts and has been in charge of one of the Four Great Academies of the Hua Xia Kingdom for eight years. He is now one of the most important core members of the Hua Xia Kingdom. As the only dynasty in the world, if the Hua Xia Kingdom can clear out all the Demonic Beasts in the Nanyue Mountain Range, the Hua Xia Kingdom will produce a Soul Formation Realm expert and become a peerless empire. We shouldn't stop the world from being unified, nor do we have the strength to do so!" General Chu said.
"I understand what you mean. Do whatever you want to do!" King Chu said in a deep voice.
General Chu and the other officials lowered their heads and remained silent. General Chu turned and left the hall after seeing this. The Prime Minister followed suit.
Everyone left one after another when they saw this. King Chu sat on the throne without saying a word. If they left today, they would never be able to return. The Chu Dynasty was about to become history. There was no longer any way to stop this.
King Chu returned to the imperial harem in low spirits. He knew that if he did not interact with the Hua Xia Kingdom, the Chu family would be left with nothing. Now, as long as he spoke, Hua Kai would definitely give the Chu family certain privileges.
Queen Chu already knew everything that had happened during the morning court session. The entire Ying Capital was in motion today. All the aristocratic families had pledged allegiance to the Hua Xia Kingdom. Everyone in the Chu family was watching, waiting for King Chu's final decision.
"Your Majesty, you're back!
Come, have some tea! "Queen Chu poured hot tea for King Chu.
"What King? There will be no King Chu in the future!
I've truly become a loner. To think that I've worked diligently for more than two hundred years, developing the Chu Dynasty from a small country to a large country in the Central Plains. In the end, I ended up in such a state. I've always been thinking about what I've done wrong, but nothing has come to fruition.
Your Majesty, tell me. Have I succeeded or failed in my life? "King Chu was already babbling nonsense.
"Your Majesty, of course you have succeeded. It's just that the Hua Xia King was more successful.
We were already close to success in our search for a way to make humanity prosper, but in the end, someone else was more successful than us.
For the sake of humanity and our Chu family, pledging allegiance to the Hua family is the only right choice. This is because they have the means and strength to make humanity prosper. We don't, "replied Queen Chu.
"Yes, China's strength is not only in its combat strength, but also in many other aspects.
Just the fact that the Hua family was able to surpass all the other aristocratic families in terms of culture in less than fifty years after becoming an aristocratic family, to the point where it has become the most feared existence of enemy nations, Hua Kai is worthy of being called a sage.
I'll head to South Peace City now and pledge allegiance to Hua Kai. I hope that he will not make things difficult for my Chu family on account of my strength at the eighth level of the Golden Core realm, "said King Chu finally.
"I'll wait for you in the royal palace. We might not be able to live here in the future, but my heart has suddenly calmed down," said Queen Chu with a smile.
Hua Kai was condensing a Godfiend image in his virtual space. Another Godfiend image was condensed. Hua Kai still had more than half of his psyche and willpower left, so he could condense another one. However, before he could confirm the next Godfiend image, he left the meditation room and went to the imperial harem.
South Peace City was now China's most important city in the Divine East. Some people had already called it South Capital.
South Peace City now had a total population of more than 500,000. After five years of development, all the infrastructure and management systems had been perfected. As the South Eclipse Mountain Range had been purging demon beasts, savage beasts, and desolate beasts, there were all sorts of meat shops and beast bone workshops everywhere. The entire city was thriving.
"Your Majesty, King Chu is here!
He is waiting at the entrance of Weiyang Palace, "said Wuren Tuya when she saw Hua Kai.
"Heh heh!
If he doesn't come, there's no point in him coming!
Wait for me to hear what other requests King Chu has, "said Hua Kai.
Hua Kai arrived outside Weiyang Palace and saw King Chu standing outside. When he saw Hua Kai, he slowly walked over and bowed to him.
"Greetings, King Huaxia!" King Chu bowed as an equal.
Hua Kai saw that King Chu still had not completely let go. He smiled and ignored him as he walked into the palace alone.
