Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

572 Immortal Moon Lakeside, Re-Investiture (3)

A voice sounded from behind the Qinghe Dao Sect Gate.

A Daoist in a green-gray Daoist robe walked over and held a jade-white horsetail whisk in his hand. He sized up Han Muye and said coldly.

On the other side, Shao Datian looked excited as Cuicui pulled him back.

“Is the Immortal Moon Lake under your jurisdiction? Are you the one who set the rules of the market?” Han Muye turned to look around, his gaze landing on the vast hall.

!!

“Of course. This is determined by the laws of the dynasty. All the sects have the right to govern the areas around their bases.” The Daoist sneered and said, “We can’t possibly let the soldiers of the Defense Division guard our bases, right?”

It was precisely because the dynasty could not guard the various sects that they released the jurisdiction of various places.

After all, no one knew what happened at the bases.

This way, the dynasty could take a back seat. They did not care about the previous conflicts between the sects.

If the sects affected the local rule or did something outrageous, they would arrange for the Mystic Sun Guards to intervene.

It saved them a lot of trouble.

“The soldiers can’t guard the sects’ bases, and there aren’t that many soldiers.” Han Muye turned to look at Bao Mingcheng.

Bao Mingcheng nodded with a helpless expression.

The Imperial City was still alright, but the entire Central Continent was filled with countless lands that were out of their jurisdiction.

Many prefectures and counties were places where the commoners lived. The other places were set aside for the cultivation sects to do whatever they wanted.

What else could they do?

The eight counties in Dongnan were infiltrated by the Daoist sects because of this.

“In that case, recruit more soldiers and form a government office,” Han Muye said calmly.

Hearing his words, the Qinghe Daoist was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.

“Even the Minister Wen’s Office can’t easily increase the number of government offices and recruit soldiers, right?

“If you really want to open such a government office, how many people do you need? Tens of millions or hundreds of millions?

“I’m afraid the Heavenly Mystic Dynasty can’t afford it.”

After all, he had lived in the Imperial City for a long time. This Daoist really knew a little about the laws of the dynasty and the general situation of the Imperial Court.

He was right. They could not recruit more soldiers just because they wanted to.

That would require countless spiritual rocks and countless slightly trained soldiers.

The Heavenly Mystic World could not afford to raise so many soldiers.

Han Muye stood there in silence.

Opposite him, the Daoist looked at him coldly.

This was the Imperial City, the cultivation holy land of the Heavenly Mystic World.

Not everyone could behave atrociously here.

It was not a place where the young couple could reside for long.

It was not easy to stay in the Imperial City.

However, as long as this young couple submitted and followed the control of the Qinghe Dao Sect, today’s matter would be settled.

After all, the person in front of him was more or less capable. There was also that alchemist from the Defense Division and the alchemy mill who came to plead for leniency.

Just as he was about to speak, Han Muye suddenly slowly raised his hand.

An indescribable aura was rising from Han Muye.

Everyone around him was bound. They couldn’t even move their eyes.

At this moment, spiritual light and golden Great Spirit qi intertwined in the entire Imperial City, forming a long dragon that was 10,000 miles long.

Experts flew up and looked at the surrounding void.

Which Almighty has made a move and triggered the response of the dragon of providence? they wondered.

Han Muye ignored the dragon phantom and simply raised his hand to write a line of golden words in the void.

“Edict.

“Recruit the soldiers stationed within a 10-mile radius of the Immortal Moon Lake. Anyone who is loyal to the Heaven Mystic Realm and has a pure heart can come.”

The golden words trembled and spread in all directions before turning into nothingness.

Golden spiritual light flashed, and illusory figures appeared in the limestone square.

“I’m Feng Zisheng, a Confucian High Scholar of Runan County. I was a generous person and educated the people. I did not advance in his cultivation for 30 years and fell into the Immortal Moon Lake. I left my remnant soul here. I am willing to receive your order.”

“I’m Su Kang. I was a son of the Imperial City who joined the army 350 years ago. I fought outside the borders for 70 years and died in battle. My remains were buried by the Immortal Moon Lake. My remnant soul did not go away. I’m willing to receive your order.”

“I’m He Jinkun, a disciple of the Imperial City’s Five Treasures Dao Sect. My cultivation level was at the sixth level of the Spirit Awakening Realm. I was plotted against during a battle with the Qinghe Dao Sect. My remnant soul did not go away. I’m willing to receive your order.”

…

Voices sounded one after another with a hint of coldness.

“That’s Great Granduncle!” Someone outside the limestone square exclaimed in a low voice.

“Granduncle was a personal guard of the Imperial City. He died in battle back then. I didn’t expect him to have a remnant soul left.”

“Is Sun Minshen the Lord Sun who killed 13 demon beasts to protect the people and was buried by the Immortal Moon Lake?”

Some of these remnant souls were not old, and some people still remembered them.

Some people had heard stories of the Immortal Moon Lakeside.

When they saw these figures, discussions and sighs sounded all around.

“I’ll kowtow to Lord Sun.” Someone bowed.

“Great Granduncle, our Zhou family is full of good men,” someone shouted and knelt down.

Faint incense power gathered.

Achieving the Dao through incense!

Han Muye raised his hand and waved. The incense aura turned into golden light that enveloped the remnant souls he had chosen.

“By decree, three new Water Deity Official Residences have been established by the Immortal Moon Lake. The three Water Deities of the lake are in charge of the living beings there.

“Sun Minsheng, Feng Zisheng, and He Qing are the Water Deities of the Immortal Moon Lake.

“The Moon Viewing Mountain by the lake has two new Mountain Deity Official Residences. Xiong Naiming and Wang Taozi are Mountain Deities.

“Mountain Deities and Water Deities, receive the decree of the heavens and earth. Organize your residence, recruit soldiers, protect your Divine Realm, protect the Divine Spirits in the realm, and enjoy the blessings of the heavens and earth and the incense offerings of the people.”

Golden divine patterns descended, and the remnant souls were enveloped by golden divine light.

Their originally broken and thin bodies turned into deities in either imperial robes or golden armor.

“We honor your decree.”

All the deities bowed, and golden light enveloped the Immortal Moon Lake.

The soaring divine light attracted the attention of the Imperial City.

“It’s in the direction of the Immortal Moon Lake. What’s the matter…”

However, in the next moment, the halo of divine light was drowned by the magnificent golden light.

“The Alchemy Division’s Qin Suyang sent the newly formed alchemy technique to the library.

“The Pill Formation Technique of the Pill Destiny Pavilion is now added to the archives. Replicate 10,000 copies and spread them throughout the Heavenly Mystic Realm.”

It was a pill refinement technique that was spread throughout the world!

Did the dragon of providence appear because of this alchemy technique, or because of what happened by the Immortal Moon Lake?

Before all the experts could figure it out, the world shook again!

“When the wind rises, the clouds will soar. I have unified the world and returned to my hometown. How can I get valiant warriors to guard all corners of the country!”

A crisp sound rang out, and a storm brewed between heaven and earth!
