Chapter 75 Yang Kang with Special Effects
Chapter 75 Yang Kang with Special Effects
In the summer of the second year of the Qianwu era, the Southern Song Dynasty was declared extinct.
Although some remnants of resistance still lingered, they were no longer a threat. After Zhang Rou destroyed the Song Dynasty, he only needed to lead a small force to sweep away the remaining forces, and the world was effectively unified.
If we start counting from the loss of Yanyun, the world has not been unified for nearly three hundred years since the end of the Tang Dynasty. If we only consider the separation of the Central Plains, it has been a hundred years.
Emperor Daqian started his campaign against the Meng people in Shandong and unified the country in just two years. No one could deny that he was indeed ordained by Heaven.
So when the news of victory arrived from the south, and the emperor appeared in court radiating glory, the officials, though surprised, all felt that everything was perfectly reasonable.
Their emperor was no ordinary man, so it seemed only natural that he would perform some miracles.
Since entering the Innate Realm, Yang Kang has always been surrounded by an aura that is difficult to control. It's fine during the day, but at night he looks like a light bulb.
He and Empress Yang Miaozhen studied it for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what it was.
At the Innate Realm, life is endless. Yang Kang's already vigorous vitality became even more abundant, and his total amount of true energy increased more than tenfold. Moreover, his recovery speed was even more terrifying. At this moment, he could unleash all his true energy in an instant, and it would be fully replenished in just three breaths. He was truly invincible in terms of mana.
Its original terrifying strength of 20,000 jin increased by 2.5 times, reaching a terrifying 50,000 jin, comparable to an Eight Treasures Chicken.
Regarding the manifestations of the Innate Realm, most of them are based on the deductions of Yang Kang and other contemporary martial arts masters, but no one can explain why Yang Kang suddenly became a light bulb after entering the Innate Realm.
No one can explain why, in his midnight dreams, Yang Kang saw, through the eyes of Wanyan Chenheshang, a scene of the northern army sweeping across the grasslands.
Through Zhang Rou's eyes during his expedition to the southwest, one can see the kneeling and submission of the Dali ruler and his ministers.
It was as if he could see every corner his soldiers conquered.
But when his physical body opened its eyes, he returned to his physical body, as if it had all been a dream.
He vaguely guessed that it was related to the fortune brought about by the struggle for supremacy, as the system had mentioned, but he couldn't grasp the essence of it.
Completely baffled, they finally decided to mobilize the wisdom of the masses.
As Guo Jing led his army back to Yanjing.
Including Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, Master Yideng, the Southern Emperor, Hong Qigong, the Northern Beggar, and Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, all received Yang Kang's invitation. All the great martial arts masters in the world gathered in Yanjing.
Yang Kang established the Shenwu Academy next to the Imperial Academy in the capital, dedicated to bringing together martial arts masters from all over the world to study martial arts and explore the application of innate abilities.
In early August, Guo Jing, Wanyan Chenheshang, and Zhang Rou each led their armies back to the capital. Yang Kang held the grandest ceremony for bestowing titles of kings since the founding of the dynasty in Yanjing.
Wanyan Yi was enfeoffed as the Prince of Chen, one of only two princes in the Great Qian Dynasty with the title of "Prince". As a young man, he followed Yang Kang in battle and was the first to make contributions to the founding of the dynasty. He led the western expedition to destroy the Mongols and pacify Karakorum, clearing away the last threat to the north for the Great Qian Dynasty.
The title was derived from his nickname, Monk Chen. Wanyan was given the title by the Jin dynasty, while Chen was his own.
Yelü Chucai was enfeoffed as the King of Wei and served as the founding prime minister. He was responsible for the three major national policies of destroying the Jin, the Mongol, and the Song dynasties. His influence was behind every decree of the Great Qian Dynasty.
It was rare in previous dynasties for a civil official to be granted the title of king, but Yelü Chucai was no ordinary civil official. He was a Khitan, a descendant of the Liao royal family. The fact that he was granted the title of king despite being of a different ethnicity is the best proof that the Great Qian Dynasty did not distinguish between races and only selected people based on their talents.
Zhang Rou, enfeoffed as the Prince of Jiankang, led a detachment of 50,000 troops across the Yangtze River to capture Jiankang, severing the east-west connection between the Southern Song Dynasty. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, he led his army to sweep through the southwest, pacifying the last unstable factor in the country.
This player went all-in at the start, betting against all the gamblers who had joined Yang Kang, and won an unprecedented reward.
Guo Jing was then enfeoffed as the Prince of Xiangyang, the commander-in-chief of the campaign against the Song Dynasty, and led an army of 200,000 south to conquer Xiangyang, thus restoring the last piece of the empire to its former glory.
For the merit of conquering a country, and being the emperor's sworn brother, it was only natural to bestow upon him the title of king. However, no one knew why the emperor specifically chose to make him the King of Xiangyang.
Four kings stood side by side, half civil and half military.
The number of non-royal princes under the Great Qian Dynasty was limited to four, and no more were granted.
Below the four, there were also numerous rewards and honors, making it arguably the grandest cake-sharing ceremony since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Yang Kang's generosity surprised everyone.
Even Guo Jing never imagined that he would be granted the title of king in Mongolia, and even more so in the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Genghis Khan could bestow upon you the title of King of Song, how could I be more stingy than him?"
Yang Kang smiled and looked at Guo Jing, then raised his cup to the assembled officials.
. . . . . .
After the grand celebration ceremony
Inside the main hall, numerous martial arts masters gathered together.
As Yang Kang, adorned with special effects, remained silent, his voice barely rippled through the minds of the crowd.
Huang Yaoshi and the others were all horrified. Even the proud Eastern Heretic almost knelt down.
"Innate? This is the legendary innate?"
"How is this possible? To achieve such a feat at the Innate Realm... could it be... the work of an immortal?"
Huang Yaoshi said in shock.
All the martial arts masters were completely bewildered. Each of them had participated in the deduction of the Innate Realm, but none of them had anticipated such a miraculous change in the Innate Realm.
But none of them had reached the Innate Realm, and they couldn't guarantee that it really was true.
Yang Kang then gave a detailed account of the images and perceptions he experienced when he broke through to the Innate Realm, including his speculations about destiny.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
"Now that the world is unified, the emperor possesses the most supreme and noble destiny and fortune among men."
"It is already incredible that the mysterious and profound luck can transform a person's martial arts skills."
"But it must be said that His Majesty was able to see a thousand miles away through the eyes of the Great Qian army."
"We are truly baffled."
Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, said with a chill running down his spine.
The emperor's words were like myths to them.
"I've heard that the last thirteen levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism involve the cultivation of spiritual mystic arts."
"Tibetan Living Buddhas are said to be reincarnated. It is said that the reincarnated Living Buddhas can glimpse their past lives from time to time, as if they have truly seen through the cycle of reincarnation."
"Perhaps they have something there to answer our questions."
The well-informed Northern Beggar couldn't help but speak up.
"The last thirteen levels of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill are located here."
Yang Kang nodded immediately, and the palace servants respectfully handed over the complete printed copy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to everyone, which also included the seventh level of the Great Shift of the Universe, to Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, and others for study.
The more Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Zhou Botong, and others read it, the more their brows furrowed.
However, regarding the cultivation of the spiritual realm in the Innate Realm, all of this was ambiguous and contradictory to the grandmasters, leaving them unsure of where to begin.
"The innate way cannot be comprehended in a short time."
Everyone sighed in despair.
"I have established the Divine Martial Academy to specialize in the development of martial arts theories throughout the land."
"Any martial artist in the world may enter the academy for training, regardless of their background."
"The art of martial arts is also taught to all students in the official schools of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"With the power of the entire nation at my disposal, I refuse to believe that we cannot usher in a golden age of martial arts."
Yang Kang addressed the crowd.
At this time, there was already a Quanzhen Taoist team in his palace that specialized in studying martial arts theory.
After the fall of the Jin dynasty, most of the elderly men, including Master Lingzhi, who had followed Wanyan Honglie since the time of Prince Zhao, were now living in retirement in the Daqian dynasty.
Master Lingzhi, along with Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu, and others, were responsible for finding various martial arts manuals for Yang Kang. Liang Ziweng became the chief snake medicine master of the Spirit Snake Bureau, specializing in researching how to cultivate better Pusiqu snakes.
For Yang Kang, the game of chess in the world had reached a dead end, and there were almost no difficult problems worth his personal attention anymore.
In the days to come, he will focus his energy on another, more meaningful direction.
That is, martial arts!
But while the ideal is lofty, the reality is harsh. Countless martial arts masters have studied it for half their lives, yet Yang Kang has never been able to turn off this special effect on himself.
He could only accept reality for the time being, after all, as the emperor, he had many things to do in his daily life and could not spend all day in the Divine Martial Academy practicing martial arts with several grandmasters.
In September, on the grasslands, Yang Kang, accompanied by Hua Zheng and protected by Guo Jing, Wanyan Chenheshang, and others, headed north to Mongolia to convene the Khuriltai Conference.
He prepared for his final achievement in his quest to conquer the world and ascend the throne as the Khan of Mongolia.
