Chapter 134: Wrap-up!
Edited by: Mochiusagi
While the Nanzhao Kingdom was in turmoil, Su Qin had already returned to the Imperial Palace.
Su Qin naturally didn’t know the effects of his actions.
Even if Su Qin knew, he would not think too much of it. The Nanzhao Kingdom was located in the Southwest. It is a small country. There was not even a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster in the whole country. Even if it had lost the restrictions of the Holy Moon Church, what can they do?
As Su Qin returned to the Imperial Palace, he returned to his usual life.
Su Qin was only gone for most of the day, so no one in the Imperial Palace would connect him and the Nanzhao Kingdom incident. After all, in this short period of time, one would need to travel several tens of thousands of li, then destroy the Holy Moon Church and come back again.
At night.
Su Qin was sitting cross-legged. Everything about the [Moon Forging Divine Sense] was flowing in his mind.
[Moon Forging Divine Sense] is a Divine Sense Secret Technique, which can stabilize Su Qin’s Divine Sense to a great extent.
“Okay.”
“Let’s get started.”
Su Qin closed his eyes. His Divine Sense began to brew within his body, continuously dispersing and reorganizing in the manner of the [Moon Forging Divine Sense].
If it was someone else, even if one was an Arhat/Legend, it will take him a lot of time to understand the [Moon Forging Divine Sense], not to mention even get started.
After all, the [Moon Forging Divine Sense] involves the forging of Divine Sense. If you do not understand what you’re doing, who would dare to mess with their Divine Sense and experiment?
But Su Qin is different, after the System instilled the Technique into him, his mastery has reached the level of the Founder of the Technique. Hence, although it was his first time Cultivating it, he was familiar with it.
[Weng~]!
Under Su Qin’s control, his Divine Sense suddenly dispersed and turned into extremely small thoughts, then these thoughts were recombined to construct a more stable Divine Sense.
Under normal circumstances, the Divine Sense of an Arhat/Legend is in a state of disorganization; but with the [Moon Forging Divine Sense], it recombines the disorganized Divine Sense, which will exceed the original Divine Sense.
It is like charcoal and diamond, which are composed of the same material, but because of the different structural combination, two completely different forms are created.
The same goes for Divine Sense.
It’s just that Divine Sense is more complex than minerals. A little carelessness may damage the fundamentals of one’s Divine Sense and cause injury to the host.
Even Su Qin, if he hadn’t obtained the [Moon Forging Divine Sense], he would not dare to disperse and reorganize his Divine Sense like this.
With the continuous reorganization of his Divine Sense, Su Qin felt his mind becoming clearer and his thoughts becoming more agile.
“Almost there.”
“According to the [Moon Forging Divine Sense], I should be done now.”
Su Qin slowly opened his eyes and after testing his Divine Sense carefully, he was awed by the result.
“Although the amount of my Divine Sense is much less now, its quality is far better than before.”
Su Qin was happy.
“Moreover, the stability of my Divine Sense has greatly improved my Cultivation speed.”
Su Qin slightly nodded.
Just like a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, if one wants to go further, one would need to transform in three aspects: Body, Internal Strength and Divine Sense.
An Arhat/Legend also pays attention to their Body, True Essence, and Divine Sense.
Whether it is an Arhat/Legend at the 1st Heavenly Layer Arhat, or an Arhat/Legend who has reached the limit of Cultivation, the Body, True Essence, and Divine Sense are still the three fundamental foundations of oneself.
A powerful Body can produce more Divine Sense. Similarly, a powerful Divine Sense can strengthen the Body and speed up Cultivation.
Su Qin was experiencing a similar state of that at this moment.
“My next step should be diligently Cultivating, and then strive to reach the Great Arhat Realm as soon as possible.”
Su Qin settled down and thought silently in his heart.
The Great Arhat Realm is the realm after Arhat Realm and is equivalent to an Earth Immortal. They are essentially the same level, just with different names.
In fact, the nature of the power controlled by both is the same, similar to that of an Arhat and a Legend.
Su Qin then immersed himself in Cultivation.
Except for Signing In every day, he almost ignored everything and just Cultivated.
Emperor Li Sheng would also occasionally bring the twins to Su Qin and chat with him, allowing Li Yuan and Li Wan to get close to Su Qin.
Compared with other Imperial Family heirs, Emperor Li Sheng was much more open in letting his twins get closer to Su Qin.
Emperor Li Sheng had been on the throne for so many years, and he had become accustomed to the treacherous changes in people’s hearts, but he had never seen any scheming in Su Qin.
And it was only in front of Su Qin that Emperor Li Sheng felt that he was not the Emperor, but a poor scholar who had nothing.
Since the last time Su Qin reminded Emperor Li Sheng regarding the cutting ties with the Kings, Emperor Li Sheng had never brought it up anymore.
Emperor Li Sheng knew that it was Su Qin’s forbearing to him.
Forbearance is not cowardice, nor is it submissive, it is for the future of the Tang Empire.
Emperor Li Sheng knew that the most effective way to cut off the Kings was not by immediate force, but rather a slow acting poison, like implementing a Law. A Law that allows the Kings to divide their territories equally among their children.
As a result, the domains of the Kings would get smaller and smaller by each generation. Although the overall situation remains the same, the territories would fall into the hands of different people. Their strength would be scattered and their force would be weakened. All of this can be achieved without shedding blood.
However, this Law is based on the premise that the Kings are obedient.
In other words, the Kings would follow the Law.
The only problem that the Empire is facing now, is that the Kings simply ignore the Imperial power, not to mention the Law, even if it’s a will issued by Emperor Li Sheng himself. It would be treated as nothing.
Furthermore, the Kings were not fools. Every King has countless counselors, and he can definitely guess the intention behind the Law.
Time passed and three years went by in an instant.
During the past three years, the Tang Empire was still restricted by the local vassals, but on the whole it showed a trend of prosperity.
Emperor Li Sheng made a bold move, developing commerce, increased taxation, and the treasury had sufficient money.
Apart from this, under the coaxing and pestering of Imperial Princess Li Wan, Emperor Li Sheng finally agreed to let her practice Martial Arts.
Emperor Li Sheng did not want to see Li Wan step into the path of Martial Arts. In Emperor Li Sheng’s view, her life would become plain as she would need to train everyday for a long long time.
As the Imperial Princess, Li Wan doesn’t have to suffer this.
…
On a certain day.
In the Right Spring Square.
Su Qin sat cross-legged, his aura was slowly but steadily increasing.
Suddenly, Su Qin’s aura disappeared abruptly, and the increase in speed also slowed down before calming down completely.
Su Qin then slowly opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face.
“Finally completed!”
Su Qin thought, his face full of joy.
