Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Before returning to the valley, Jun Wuxie went to the City Lord's Mansion to see Ning Wang and Anning.

"There shouldn't be too many things that need handling recently. If Ning Wang has time, he can summon the higher-ups of Qingyun, my senior brothers and sisters, as well as some of the original civil and military officials from the border city, to discuss the formulation of future laws. At that time, the results of the discussion will be listed in detail and organized for me to review."

"Lord Divine, are we formulating new laws so soon?"

Ning Wang was somewhat surprised, feeling that this matter was not urgent. It wouldn't be needed in the short term. Unless the matters of those top sects in Hanzhou were completely resolved, control over the Great Qian would be unrealistic, and unifying Qingzhou would be even more difficult. Before that, there would naturally be no need for new laws.

Jun Wuxie didn't speak, only glanced at him.

Ning Wang hurriedly explained, "I just feel that there's no rush now, after all, there's still a long time before we rule. Moreover, even if the new laws are released, it won't be easy to implement them. I'm afraid it will encounter a lot of resistance, after all, the new laws will inevitably touch the interests of many people."

"I didn't expect you, Ning Wang, to say such a thing. From what I know, weren't your previous governance methods very iron-blooded? What's wrong? As a ruler, should I give up because of the resistance of those whose interests are touched, and give way to them?"

"Lord Divine, Father is not saying that…"

Anning, who was holding the wheelchair, hurriedly explained.

"This…" Ning Wang opened his mouth, then sighed and said, "Even as a ruler, some things cannot be done arbitrarily, completely according to one's own ideas. After all, what is governed is a huge social group, and this social group is made up of too many small groups, which is too complex. For the sake of social stability, sometimes, one has to compromise."

Jun Wuxie smiled faintly and said, "A mortal society, the progress of civilization requires the cooperation of many people, requires continuous innovation, requires continuous new ideas to lead the era, and requires solving many practical problems. It is very complex. The reason they are complex is because the human groups that make up society are too weak, birth, old age, sickness, and death, hunger and disaster, happen every day."

"In your eyes, your so-called society is also a society composed of mostly mortals. But you must know that in the future, the dynasty under my rule will not be the same as what you think in your heart. In an era of universal cultivation, with sufficient sacred spiritual food, the dynasty's citizens will be physically strong, live long lives, have no fear of death from illness, and even not have to worry about aging. Such a society can reduce many temptations and desires, it will be particularly stable and more able to withstand shocks."

"So, what is your so-called resistance? Whoever dares to resist the law will be executed in public. If anyone is not convinced, they can be allowed to give up their nationality and leave Qingzhou. What we have to do is to change the entire environment, not to accommodate and take care of the interests of certain small groups."

Ning Wang fell silent after hearing this.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'm just afraid that large-scale executions will lead to personnel shortages in many important functional departments, causing functional paralysis, or even chaos."

"Ning Wang, you have too many concerns, looking before and after. It seems that you are no different from other monarchs, your vision is too narrow after all."

Ning Wang showed an embarrassed expression upon hearing this.

According to his previous experience in governance, he felt that what he said was correct. These are all things that need to be considered, otherwise, society will fall into chaos, which will bring adverse effects to the dynasty. If someone takes the opportunity to do bad things, the situation will be very bad.

"Lord Divine, didn't you say that you would let me take the throne in the future? Therefore, even when you are not in Qingzhou, I, not Father, will be the decision-maker for the dynasty's affairs. I don't have Father's concerns and will strictly adhere to Lord Divine's will and act steadfastly!"

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. He took two steps forward and gently stroked Anning's hair, saying, "So, you are the future Empress of the dynasty. I originally wanted to take you to cultivate these days, but now it seems that you will have to take the lead in formulating the laws. Your father's thinking has not yet been changed temporarily. Remember, the law is an order and regulation that maintains social fairness and justice. Each article must be as detailed as possible, and no loopholes should be left for people to take advantage of. For those who receive stipends, the law must severely punish them. Those who know the law and violate it have a strong subjective intention, and their nature is extremely bad, so the crime should be increased by one degree."

"The punishment of the law must be cruel in order to suppress evil and purify the universe, and maintain the stability of the dynasty's society. In the future, I will construct a rune network within the dynasty. At that time, when every heinous person is punished by the law, the dynasty's citizens can watch it in real-time, increasing the deterrent force!"

"Yes, but in the future, the dynasty's territory will be vast, with tens of thousands of cities and many citizens. The number of institutions in each department is astonishing, and we may not be able to supervise them well. Therefore, I suggest secretly forming a supervisory department to secretly supervise each city, collect information, and report it back to the imperial city."

"I have secretly established a Heaven's Pride Guard, responsible for supervision and execution. There is currently a shortage of people, so I will leave this matter to you. Strictly select personnel, and you can select them here in the border city. When the personnel are determined, let me know."

"Yes, Anning understands."

Anning bowed to him gracefully.

"Take this."

Jun Wuxie took some Origin of Chaos Thunder and told Anning that in addition to refining it herself, she could also give some to Ning Wang to refine.

Anning's expression was excited, and her eyes were full of gratitude. The Origin of Chaos Thunder was a peerless treasure!

"Note that the refining must be slow, otherwise, you will hurt yourself. This energy is quite overbearing."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he left, leaving Anning and Ning Wang staring blankly at his gradually receding figure until he completely disappeared from sight. Only then did Ning Wang recover, looking at the crystal bottle in Anning's hand in disbelief. Inside, the Chaos Thunder light flickered, and fragments of the origin floated.

"It's actually the legendary Origin of Chaos Thunder…"

He wouldn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.

Not to mention him, how many people in the world would dare to think about it?

Jun Wuxie actually took out this kind of thing and bestowed it on their father and daughter. It was too shocking, as if they were in a dream, feeling extremely unreal.

…

Jun Wuxie extracted a lot of Origin of Chaos Thunder from the Chaos Thunder Mountain and distributed it to the higher-ups of Qingyun and his master.

Returning to the valley, he gave some Origin of Chaos Thunder to his senior brothers and sisters, and the Bloodmane Lion-Dog Beast King and the Ancient Demon Centipede King also got a share.

Xu Yan'ning was, of course, not to be left out.

Receiving such precious resources, everyone was extremely excited and went into seclusion one after another.

Xu Yan'ning was also like this. When Jun Wuxie wasn't paying attention, she secretly kissed him on the cheek, turned around with a red face, and ran away.

"This girl."

Jun Wuxie touched his kissed cheek, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and smiled at Jing Ya in front of him.

Xu Yan'ning, this woman, actually secretly kissed him in front of Aunt Jing.

"Have you been running around non-stop these days, are you tired?"

Jing Ya didn't care, and didn't make fun of him. She just took his arm and walked towards the jade stone table under the tree.

"Not tired, I'm as energetic as a dragon now."

Jun Wuxie's eyes flashed with excitement. After waiting for Jing Ya to sit down next to him, he grabbed her hand and said, "Aunt Jing, look at what this is?"

He opened Jing Ya's slender, white and tender palm and placed a ball of light in her hand.

Inside this ball of light, there were hundreds of drops of original essence blood floating, as well as hundreds of different ancient blood origin fragments, and they were all very powerful ancient blood. The aura of those origin fragments was very strong.

"So many powerful ancient blood origins?"

Jing Ya was once the Heavenly Dao, so her vision was extraordinary. She could tell at a glance that the quality of these original essence blood was very high, and most of them were ancient god bloodlines.

Although only a very small number of ancient god bloodlines can be considered pure, and the rest are relatively mottled, it is still an absolutely shocking thing.

Jun Wuxie had told her about his experiences in the ancient tomb when he first came back.

At that time, she knew that he had suppressed many cultivators from another world.

But he didn't say the specific number at the time, Jing Ya thought it was only dozens of people, but she didn't expect it to be hundreds!

These original essence bloods were obviously from those geniuses from another world.

"Otherwise, how could I have the confidence to say that I can repair the damage to your body?"

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he extracted a drop of original essence blood from his body and dripped it into it.

Jing Ya wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"What are you doing? Aunt Jing has already refined your original essence blood, so there's no need for it now. You're wasting it like this, you just know how to make Aunt Jing feel sorry for you…"

Jing Ya looked at him angrily, her elegant and beautiful eyes filled with moisture.

"The past is the past, now is now, it's different. The former me is different from the current me. My physique and bloodline have changed. In the ancient tomb, my bloodline and physique have evolved, so this drop of original essence blood will not be wasted, it will be useful to you, Aunt Jing."

After he finished speaking, he found that Jing Ya was just staring at him without saying a word, the moisture in her eyes gradually condensed into tears, and then overflowed from her eyes, slowly seeping out from the corners of her eyes, about to slide down.

"Aunt Jing, don't cry, what's wrong? It's just a drop of essence blood, my physical body is strong."

Jun Wuxie felt inexplicably flustered when he saw her like this.

Although he had seen Jing Ya's tears before, he had never seen her shed tears with such an expression.

He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb, but no matter how he wiped, he couldn't dry them. Crystal tears kept overflowing from her eyes.

"Aunt Jing, don't scare me, okay?"

Jun Wuxie didn't know what to do. In his opinion, someone like Aunt Jing shouldn't lose control of her emotions like this.

Although she didn't make any crying sounds, the way she stared at him, with tears like broken pearls, made him even more flustered.

Just as he was thinking about how to comfort Jingya, she suddenly leaned forward, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying his head in her neck. With a slightly choked voice, she whispered, "Why don't you cherish your body? Since coming to the Upper Realm, how much essence blood have you lost? Now you are gathering the origin essence blood again. No matter how strong your physical body is, it will affect your health!"

Jun Wuxie listened blankly to Jingya's choked words, her voice full of warmth.

His hands, which were slightly raised and hovering in the air, slowly fell on her back, and he said, "Aunt Jing, I'm really fine, please don't be sad, okay?"

"You still say you're fine. The life essence blood you consumed when treating your senior brothers and sisters before hasn't fully recovered. You bad boy, do you think you can fool Aunt Jing?"

Jingya said, hitting him on the back.

She was just thinking about how difficult and arduous his journey had been over the years. He had to worry about so many things, face so many powerful enemies, and still had to refine the origin essence blood for her. She felt very uncomfortable and sad.

"Aunt Jing, don't cry."

Jun Wuxie felt that his hair was wet. It must be Jingya's tears flowing down her cheeks to her chin, soaking his hair.

He struggled slightly, moved his head away from her neck, bid farewell to the softness and fragrance, and his face was a little red from being suffocated.

"If Aunt Jing cries again, she'll become a little cat."

Jun Wuxie wiped the tears from her face and joked, "Why do I feel like I'm a big brother coaxing a little sister right now?"

"Nonsense."

Jingya covered Jun Wuxie's lips with her finger, and she chuckled, her pear blossom-like smile had a special charm.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but take a few more glances. This kind of Jingya was not something he could see often, and he might not even be able to see her like this in the future.

"What's wrong, is there a flower on Aunt Jing's face?"

Seeing his gaze, Jingya couldn't help but blink her eyes, revealing an elegant smile.

"There are no flowers, but Aunt Jing is more beautiful than flowers."

Jun Wuxie was telling the truth, from the bottom of his heart.

"You should save these words to coax your royal concubine."

Jingya smiled and tapped his forehead with her finger, a very faint blush appeared on her fair skin. After speaking, she got up and walked into the house.

"Aunt Jing is going to retreat to heal her injuries."

She paused at the door of the house and said this, then walked towards the inner room.

Jun Wuxie came back to his senses and said, "Aunt Jing, remember to call me when you are about to recover. I will help you quickly recover your true energy, and maybe I can take this opportunity to break through!"

The sound of closing the door and a soft 'hmm' came from the inner room.

"Aunt Jing..."

Jun Wuxie sat at the stone table under the tree in the courtyard, quietly looking at the house.

If there are no accidents, Aunt Jing's problem should be solved.

Next, what he wants to solve as soon as possible is to nourish Yue Yao's soul and reshape her body; and to find the Primordial Divine Gold to repair the third layer of the Town Boundary Pagoda; and to find the Alien Soil to nourish the Little World Tree.

But these three things are all very difficult.

Yue Yao is a divine soul, even if she only recovers a little, she needs rare treasures of extremely high grade to nourish her soul. Reshaping her body is also the same, a divine body, how easy is that?

Therefore, Jun Wuxie knew that he could only take it step by step. Only when his strength was sufficient could he come into contact with resources of that level, and he still needed to rely on chance.

The same is true for finding the Primordial Divine Gold, which is hard to come by. That kind of thing is naturally self-effacing. When it is hidden, even the Heavenly Emperor will find it difficult to sense its specific location.

Alien Soil is rare in the world and is a precious thing. High-quality Alien Soil is even more difficult to find.

Therefore, the three things he wants to accomplish most next are all extremely difficult.

"I should resolve the affairs of Qingzhou as soon as possible, establish a dynasty, and put the dynasty on the right track. Then I can leave Qingzhou, cross Hanzhou, and go to a bigger place. When I get there, there will be higher quality treasures and more opportunities..."
