Chapter 1038: Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
A scripture with several million words quickly flowed through Fang Xingjian’s mind.
Right now, not only did Fang Xingjian possess a brain that was comparable to a supercomputer but he had also grasped the excessive calculative abilities of the people in two regions using the Lives’ Wisdom Seal.
With such tremendous calculative capabilities, he was able to instantly read through the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique.
After reading this great technique that belonged to the Ascendant Heavenly Sect, Fang Xingjian was full of praise for the profoundness it contained.
The Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique was not an ordinary cultivating technique or martial art technique. It was actually the compilation of the essence of the Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s cultivation thoughts. It was countless experts’ comprehension of martial arts and of the world.
The people’s heart makes up the heavens’ heart, and the people’s will makes up the heavens’ will. These were the principle thoughts behind the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique.
The contents were segregated into three parts—the heavens, earth, and people—and described their effect on the world. It talked about the universe beyond the heavens, the earth under one’s feet, as well as how all living creatures changed the world, the timelines, as well as future trends.
The world’s history was an acc.u.mulation of countless changes and trends.
People who could grasp more resources would be able to change more of the future.
It was only with the combination of the heavens, earth, and people that it would be possible to change the timelines’ trends and change the entire future from there.
The heavens referred to the universe’s circulation, the earth was the changes to the planet under one’s feet, and people referred to the intents and thoughts belonging to everyone in the world.
The Ascendant Heavenly Sect’s most important goal was to unify all three parts, becoming the only dominator over the entire timeline and using their own will to change the past, present, and future.
Of course, the concept for this ultimate art was very high, and even the creator had not reached that level.
Despite this, it was still very amazing. The many theories and techniques it held—as well as the ability to use it over the universe’s changes, the planet, and the people’s wills—were all things that Fang Xingjian had never seen before.
Therefore, there was no fixed way to cultivate this martial technique. Everyone would be able to obtain different cultivating techniques after seeing the content.
‘The first thing to do is to grasp the people’s will.’ Fang Xingjian slowly derived the cultivating method for the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique.
Based on the records from the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique, the most convenient position to grasp the people’s will was the Emperor.
The thoughts, goals, and criteria for doing things that everyone in the world did would be gathered together, forming the direction for the entire society’s development.
However, during this process, it was clear that everyone’s thoughts were not of equal value.
The greater one’s status was, the greater the authority they wielded, and the more resources they had, the greater an influence their thoughts had toward society’s development.
It was like how an ordinary farmer could only decide the matters concerning the farming of his own land, while a simple command from the Emperor would be able to shake the entire world and even take many people’s lives.
Those who possessed more resources would be able to grasp the thoughts and destinies of a greater the number of people.
As a character who was at the peak of authority, the Emperor could ama.s.s the intents and destinies of countless people. This power that was without any shape or form could almost not be sensed at all, yet it was able to affect all living creatures. It was referred to as the Dragon Qi.
The Dragon Qi was without any trace and was hard to detect even for Divine level experts. However, it was omnipresent, and even ordinary people would be able to sense it.
For example, a command, an imperial decree, or a glance from the Emperor could change the world’s trends. It could cause strong experts to take their own lives or get an army of over 10,000 men to withdraw. Everyone could sense the pressure from it and would be influenced by it unknowingly.
It was like the trends in Middle-earth at the moment. The reason why the many influences did not dare to rebel was partly because of the imperial court’s strength and partly because the imperial court was on the side of reason, having the Emperor on their side.
Otherwise, the feudal va.s.sals would have besieged the Divine Capital.
Therefore, although the Dragon Qi was without any trace, it truly existed. It was the a.s.sembly of authority, status, the people’s will, and the heavens’ will. However, most Emperors were unable to make use of this power and could only make use of it indirectly through different methods including authority, armies, politics, and language.
The Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique required one to refine the Dragon Qi and strengthen their own physique. The person must grasp the people’s wills and then refine them into a part of their own martial will.
Thereafter, with each strike they threw out, they would be able to ama.s.s the intents of all lives in the world and even the power from the world’s circulation.
However, at the beginning, if one wished to gather Dragon Qi, they would still need to do so via ordinary means—by winning over the people’s hearts.
This was not difficult for Fang Xingjian. In order to win over the hearts of the people, he just needed to let everyone’s living standards improve. For Fang Xingjian who came from the modern society and grasped absolute martial prowess, this was far too simple.
‘There are results from the Demon Sect. I’ll still need to continue.
‘However, the imperial court needs to be managed. I still need to gather Dragon Qi and cultivate the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique as well. I’m unable to render a.s.sistance to the other side.’
Therefore, Fang Xingjian sent the Crown Princess to take over the Beiyuan Region that had previously been lost, while he finally placed actual efforts in managing the country.
From this day onward, countless high-ranking officials in the Divine Capital discovered that the land under their feet was undergoing all sorts of unbelievable changes.
Due to martial arts development, there was no lack of production forces in Middle-earth.
After all, a Xiantian Realm expert was comparable to a first transition Knight, a Disha Realm expert was comparable to a second transition Knight, and a Tiangang Realm expert possessed the strength of at least a tier one Divine level expert.
Moreover, due to the circulatory system of the Tiangang and Disha Qis, the difficulty of cultivating essential Qis was a lot easier than that of the Knight cultivation system. This allowed the number of extraordinary humans to be over ten, or even 100 times, more than in Miracle World.
Therefore, the scale of the cities, the buildings’ qualities, and the resistance toward natural disasters in this world far surpa.s.sed the standards a feudal dynasty should have.
However, it was also because their production forces came from martial arts that the martial arts cultivators were more concerned in raising their cultivation level and wealth instead of using their martial prowess to support production. Those were things that commoners did.
Nevertheless, Fang Xingjian could use his absolute powers to change this.
Therefore, armies became production teams, and several ten thousand experts at the Xiantian Realm and over 100 experts at the Disha Realm became glorious laborers. Each of them was like a human excavator, proceeding with construction work for the society under Fang Xingjian’s command.
Moreover, Fang Xingjian himself was like a monster equipped with Earth’s knowledge and production capabilities.
Very soon, many roads appeared within the Jing Region and the Serene Region. Every day, several thousand cars were being transported out of the palace.
Yet, this was just the beginning. Fang Xingjian’s time in this world was limited, so he chose a more extreme method. He released his Virtual Image.
Without any shape or trace, no one noticed that the high-dimensional Sword Realm had encompa.s.sed the Jing Region and the Serene Region.
Splitting mountains, paving paths through seas, creating rivers and fixing roads… Everything was accomplished within a single thought from Fang Xingjian.
Waves of invisible powers descended like the mighty forces of the world. Mountains and rocks were disintegrated, river paths were changed, the terrain became flat by themselves, and layers of building materials were transmitted over out of nowhere. It was as if a huge invisible hand had covered the land.
Everything happened so naturally that it was as if even the world was circulating around Fang Xingjian’s will.
