Chapter 93: The Rise of the Mongol Empire
Great Song Supreme Grandmaster, Number One Expert Peng Feng, went to pursue the Phoenix.
After that, he was nowhere to be found.
Peng Feng’s coma was actually in a state of suspended animation, similar to the Phoenix’s rebirth from the ashes.
He even managed to deceive the Heavenly Dao, causing Peng Feng’s name to disappear from the Heaven List.
This news, when it spread, was shocking to all the Eastern nations.
Over the years.
How many people had Great Song Supreme Grandmaster Peng Feng defeated?
Yeli Tongtian and Li Ganshun of the Western Xia Dynasty.
Yelü Yanxi and Liao Shangren of the Liao Dynasty.
Wanyan Wugumai and Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Dynasty.
The strength of these people, which one wasn’t ridiculously strong?
Especially Wanyan Aguda, who was at the Heavenly Human Realm Fifth Level.
They were all defeated by Peng Feng.
In the hearts of the Eastern nations, Peng Feng was invincible! He was a War God!
But!
Such a person, actually disappeared while pursuing the Phoenix.
The Divine Beast Phoenix, it was truly too terrifying.
It was not something that human power could contend with at all.
Under such circumstances.
None of the nations dared to provoke that Phoenix.
And Peng Lang went crazy searching for his father at the shore of the South Sea where the incident happened, digging three feet into the ground, wanting to find his father Peng Feng.
This year was too much of a blow for Peng Lang.
First, his mother passed away.
Then, his father disappeared while pursuing the Phoenix.
If he hadn’t already started a family and had a wife and children, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have been able to withstand this blow.
After Peng Lang’s rampage, he still couldn’t find his father, and in the end, he could only return in disappointment.
And this matter, the entire nation mourned.
As long as there were people of a certain age, they all remembered how Peng Feng had twice saved the Song Dynasty from the clutches of the Liao and Jin Dynasties in the past.
The entire nation wore mourning clothes for three days.
Countless elderly people cried bitterly.
In the year 1170 AD.
The entire Great Song’s number one general, Yue Fei, at the age of over sixty, stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm.
In the year 1190 AD.
Peng Lang, over sixty years old, stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm.
With two Heavenly Human Realm experts in charge, no one in the Eastern nations could contend with them.
◈◈◈
Time.
Unknowingly, it had already reached 1225 AD.
At this time.
In the grasslands, a master named Temujin appeared.
This person seemed to have gathered the fortune of the grasslands for thousands of years, and his talent in martial arts was so high that he was considered unmatched in the thousands of years of grassland history.
Many overlords had appeared on these grasslands.
For example, Modu Chanyu of the Xiongnu tribe during the early Han Dynasty.
Liu Yuan, Shi Le, Shi Hu, and others during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Yelü Abaoji, the founding emperor of the Liao Dynasty.
Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
And Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, who founded the Manchu Tartars in later generations.
All of them could be called overlords of their time.
All of these people were in the Heavenly Human Realm.
But…
The talent of these people was far inferior to Temujin.
Temujin was a figure standing at the peak of the grasslands for thousands of years.
This person’s martial arts practice was such that he could learn it just by looking at it once.
In his teens, he had already reached the Diamond Realm.
When he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, he reached the Land Immortal Realm.
In his thirties, he had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a secret treasure of the ancient Witch Clan, and then he reached the Heavenly Human Realm, and after that, he went straight for the Loose Immortal Realm.
◈◈◈
Moreover, when he was over sixty years old, he reached the Loose Immortal Realm! Becoming the fifth strongest person in the world to become a Loose Immortal.
The previous four were Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, and Peng Feng.
Of course, Peng Feng did not publicize his attainment of the Loose Immortal Realm, so no one knew, and Temujin thought that he was the fourth person to become a Loose Immortal in all of history.
It could be said that Temujin’s trajectory of improving his strength was very similar to Peng Feng’s.
Moreover, he used the secret treasure brought by the Witch Clan to help his subordinates and sons improve their strength.
And this time was perhaps the peak period of the grasslands’ fortune for thousands of years, and among his subordinates and sons, there were also many people with explosive talent.
His eldest son, Chishut, second son, Chagatai, third son, Ogedai, and fourth son, Tore.
And his four major generals—Borshu, Muqali, Chilaowen, and Bo’orchu.
All eight of these people were promoted to the Heavenly Human Realm.
That is to say, at this time, the Mongol Empire possessed a half-step Loose Immortal Realm expert, and eight Heavenly Human Realm experts, and its strength was unimaginable.
This kind of strength could be said to have reached the pinnacle of all the grassland peoples in history.
The peak period of the former Liao Dynasty was only two Heavenly Human Realm experts.
The peak period of the Jin Dynasty was also only two Heavenly Human Realm experts.
The peak period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations was only a few Heavenly Human Realm experts.
Compared to the peak period of this Mongol Empire, it was simply weak to the point of being a joke.
When the Mongol Empire was established, the Heavenly Dao Ranking List appeared, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Even the previous Eastern hegemon, the Song Dynasty, seemed like a weak chicken in the face of the Mongol Empire.
And after the Mongol Empire was established.
Temujin announced: “This Khan wants to pursue the path of immortality, and the path of conquering the world, I will leave it to you.”
“Eldest son Chishut, you go and establish the Golden Horde, attack Europe, and occupy the fertile land of Russia. Later, you can even unify the whole of Europe.”
“Second son Chagatai, you go and establish the Chagatai Khanate, and unify Central Asia. There are also many countries in Central Asia.”
“Third son Ogedai, you go and establish the Ogedai Khanate, and unify West Asia and Africa.”
“Fourth son Tore, you go and create the Great Yuan Khanate, and unify the Song Dynasty and these territories in Southeast Asia.”
“Go and kill the men of these countries, all those taller than the wheel, kill them.
Go and rape their wives and daughters, all those who can hold a basin on their heads, you can rape them.
The greatest joy in life lies in chasing and killing your enemies everywhere, invading their lands, plundering their wealth, and then listening to the cries of their wives and children.”
Hearing Temujin say this.
His four sons couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
Normally speaking, the Mongol Empire would only have one heir, one Great Khan.
And the four brothers were all in the Heavenly Human Realm, and they would probably fight each other to the death.
But with Temujin saying this, he directly divided the Mongol Empire into four, attacking four different places, and when the time came, they would all be Great Khans, wouldn’t that be wonderful.
After giving his instructions.
Temujin went into seclusion to pursue the path of immortality.
And his four sons immediately divided into four major Khanates.
Some attacked Europe.
Some attacked Central Asia.
Some attacked West Asia and Africa.
Some attacked the Song Dynasty and Southeast Asia.
Temujin’s four sons were all extremely cruel and tyrannical.
As long as anyone dared to resist them, they would massacre the city, leaving no one alive, old or young.
Along the way, they destroyed countless cities, slaughtered countless people, and also let the people of Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, and Africa know how barbaric the opponents the Song Dynasty had been facing all along were.
Soon, they established a powerful empire that spanned three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Historically known as the Great Mongol Empire!!!
Of course!
The division of the Great Mongol Empire into four major Khanates, attacking different directions on the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, also reduced the pressure on the Song Dynasty a lot.
After all, the Song Dynasty only needed to face the Great Yuan Khanate, one of the four major Khanates.
(Volume Three, the Song Dynasty vs. the Mongol Empire arc, has begun.
The Mongol Empire was indeed the pinnacle of grassland power, much stronger than the Liao, Jin, and Manchu Qing Dynasties, so it was set as the strongest.
Even if I don’t like Temujin, I have to admit that Temujin was very strong, so I set his cultivation level as the Loose Immortal Realm.
Like Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, and Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin, they are all in the Loose Immortal Realm.
Nurhaci and Huang Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Volume Five are just ordinary Heavenly Human Realm experts. They are not as strong as Temujin.
Also, historically, the Mongol Empire was split into the Yuan Dynasty and the four major Khanates, a total of five Khanates. However, the fifth Khanate was founded by one of Temujin’s grandsons, so now the Yuan Dynasty will also be counted together, as one of the four major Khanates.)
