Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Under Ulpian’s support, Fang Xingjian spent three days scanning through the entire northern continent with his high-dimensional sensory abilities. Although he only scanned it briefly, he saw through all existences that were at the Divine level or higher.

He then flipped through the Church of Universal Truth’s history and enquired the Saints and bishops, but the information concerning Fang Yueru was still unclear.

‘My mother did come to the Church in the past. She even met with the Pope from that time.

‘And my appearance is very similar with the Pope’s as well.’

It was a pity that these were all the relevant records . What relationship did Fang Xingjian have with the previous Pope, where did that mysterious and unfathomable black-clothed man came from, and why did he give Fang Xingjian talent and take his lifespan...? All these were still unsolved mysteries.

Fang Xingjian then recalled how the black-clothed man had taken away Fang Yueru’s corpse back then. The man had told Fang Xingjian to look for him at the Church, yet there was no traces of him to be found.

There was also the matter concerning the remaining eight sections of the White Emperor Zenith Sword.

Thinking about it now, it seemed that all of the secrets were related to the previous Pope. It was a pity that the other party had already disappeared. Otherwise, if he could find the previous Pope, many secrets would be resolved.

However, Fang Xingjian was not dejected over the fact that the mysteries were unsolved. He returned to the Empire’s Imperial Capital and imparted some martial techniques to his subordinates. Then he returned to the Fang Clan’s residence on earth, leaving behind the various technological and cultivation knowledge he had obtained.

With these legacies, even if Fang Xingjian were to die in battle in the future, the influences under him would at least not suffer too much.

After doing all these, Fang Xingjian arrived at the shores of the Western Sea.

According to the Crown Princess, in the next few days, a portion of the Western Land’s sea domain would overlap with a portion of Miracle World’s sea domain.

...

Elsewhere, in the direction of the distant Western Land...

Over 100 armored battlecruisers cruised on the seas. Each of them was covered by countless runes on their surfaces, revealing various auras of flames, lightning, and ice.

Under the ships’ bows and decks, there were numerous huge metal cannons ready to be fired. Many ammunitions that were flashing in a golden-violet glow were piled together, revealing an extremely dangerous aura.

This was a terrifying fleet of battlecruisers with an extremely powerful battle prowess, perfectly combining extraordinary powers and technology.

On the fleet’s flagship, the commanding officer—who was donned in black and red military uniform and had a rectangular face, balck hair, and black eyes—stood arrogantly. He looked at the great number of battlecruisers on the sea, with their war flags seeming to cover up the sky. He appeared very proud.

Right now, the Western Land—or rather, the land that they called the Central Continent—was unified. The dynasty was thriving, and the power the Great Yan controlled was at the peak.

This fleet was the eastern expedition team sent out by the Great Yan Dynasty to explore the other end of the seas, where countless barbarians with blonde hair and fair skin were.

The commanding officer, Lin Guodong, looked at the fleet that was under his command. His fingers knocked onto the office desk in front of him as he secretly assessed the world’s situation at the moment.

Right now, the Emperor who ruled over the Great Yan was the strongest Divine level expert in the world. He had a 800,000-man army and over 50,000 Grandmaster-level experts.

The Western Land and Miracle World were both filled with ether particles, and cultivation involved jobs and Stats Window.

It was just that both places had different descriptions for the varying realms, and they also had different emphasis for the martial techniques and trends.

The Divine level experts in the Western Land were referred to in the same manner, but Conferred Knight-level experts were referred to as Grandmasters while Knight-level experts were referred to Xiantians.

The current Great Yan’s Emperor had conquered the four seas and wiped out the barbarians, taking all of the Western Land’s territories under his rule. He was also referred to as the Divine Emperor by his people.

However, Lin Guodong knew that although the Great Yan appeared to be thriving in happiness and prosperity, hidden under all that were piles of bones and the blood and tears of countless citizens.

When there were no external wars, the entire world were the country’s citizens. This meant that the only people whom those in power could exploit were naturally the citizens from their own country.

Therefore, the reason why Lin Guodong led an army to the east for an expedition of the land of the barbarians on the other side of the sea was so that they could uncover the wealth there. They would go to war to fight for the wealth and thereby mitigate the internal conflicts within the country.

At the thought of the land on the other side of the world and the wealth there, endless amount of desires and greed rose up in Lin Guodong’s mind.

He once again flipped through the reports concerning Miracle World, reading its contents.

‘Based on the information brought back by the scouts a few years ago, the martial arts, politics, economy, military prowess, and ideologies in Miracle World are far behind that of Central Continent’s.

‘They are just a bunch of savages and barbarians. We’ll let them have a great sense of what a country with great superiority is like.’

Lin Guodong stroked his chin and thought, ‘However, although they are barbarians, there is no lack of Divine level experts amongst them. We’ll need to deal with them carefully.’

Just as Lin Guodong was repeatedly studying Miracle World’s information...

Two navy soldiers were resting on the deck of another ship in the fleet.

One of them had thick brows and big eyes, looking like a simple and honest man. “Hehe, Senior Martial Brother really is a person of great means. The entire imperial court will definitely be taken by storm when the eastern expedition fleet is completely wiped out. Our Divine Emperor’s reputation will plunge greatly as well.

The other young man who appeared more gentle and skinny said calmly, “Don’t underestimate that person. If it isn’t because of his humble origins, his achievements today would definitely be worth a lot more if he were to be cultivating in the higher realm like us.

“Even now, we’re also relying on joining forces with many other sects to be able to gradually bring down the Great Yan.”

This eastern expedition had been secretly influenced by the sects in the higher realm. Their plan was for the entire expedition force to be wiped out, creating a storm in the imperial court.

Other than that, they also made other arrangements in Central Continent in order to affect the Divine Emperor’s rule.

This was how things had always been like in Western Land’s higher realm. They always avoided direct battles and the destruction of the world. Instead, they would always secretly take action to achieve their goals.

The higher realm’s immortal sects had extremely strong martial prowess, and the dynasties in the lower realm would generally be unable to notice that these people were taking action in the background. All of them would be slowly led toward becoming divided or entering a decline.

This was because the higher realm’s immortal sects were unwilling to see a unified dynasty that was thriving too greatly.

It was fine for a dynasty to continue on like this for a couple of years or decades. However, if they were to exceed several decades or 100 years, they would gradually pose a threat to the higher realm after gathering the countless resources in the lower realm, . Even if this threat was insignificant, it was still something that many immortal sects were unwilling to see.

Moreover, they would also be able to reap a tremendous amount of benefits in the process of breaking up the dynasties.

The junior martial brother with thick brows and big eyes said, “Hehe, in our trip to Miracle World this time around, we don’t have to kill them all. We just need to make sure that they don’t return. The members of this eastern expedition force are all elites from the imperial court. There is no lack of Divine level experts amongst them. With their reinforcements in addition to our martial arts, it will be sufficient for us to flatten Miracle World.

“When that time comes... After gathering all the wealth there, we can also attempt heading to the outer regions and strive to reach tier seven of the Divine level.”

The gentle-looking senior martial brother smiled. “Although the barbarians in Miracle aren’t aware of the method for achieving longevity, there are some merits to their Knight-based martial arts. Don’t underestimate them too much.”
