Ch 24: Ten Years
【In the fiftieth year, you finally finished improving the Luck Technique and entered the second realm. You can now draw the dynasty’s luck into yourself and construct a defense.
However, you vaguely sensed that this technique still had room for improvement!
You began in-depth research!】
【In the one hundred and seventieth year, you deduced it to an extremely profound realm.
You realized that if the third realm were completed by you, and you truly advanced to that stage, you could, under certain conditions, gather the dynasty’s power and unleash a fatal blow!
However, unleashing this fatal blow seemed to require paying an extremely high price…】
A large amount of information surfaced in Chu Mo’s mind. His heart surged. Without thinking, he knew that this third realm of the Luck Technique must not have been mastered by the Demon Emperor.
Otherwise…
To be honest, if the Demon Emperor could really gather the dynasty’s power to unleash a blow, Chu Mo would be in real trouble.
After all, the Demon Dynasty, which he hadn’t completely overthrown, still had its national strength at its peak… The power of that blow would be unimaginable.
Perhaps it would truly be comparable to a Heaven-Human!
However, Chu Mo was only startled for a moment, because he quickly realized that this profound mystery was deduced by him at the cost of his lifespan… In other words, this realm didn’t even exist on the walls at the moment… By analogy, it was impossible for the Demon Emperor to learn it, because this realm didn’t exist when he learned this secret technique…
【In the three hundred and eightieth year, you finally successfully perfected all the mysteries of this realm and successfully advanced.
But your heart was filled with regret. Although you could use this technique to receive the dynasty’s power without limit, it heavily depended on your basic strength!
If your body was too weak, accepting too much power would cause you to explode and die!
Under normal circumstances, with the blessing of national luck, you could exert three times the power.
Of course, if you encountered a fatal danger, you could do your best to unleash a terrifying blow, but the limit was ten times!
Exceeding ten times would definitely result in your death.
Of course, if you were really not afraid of death, you could absorb the power of the entire dynasty into yourself in an instant… And unleash an attack that could truly destroy everything!
At the same time, your Qi Observation Art also improved to the point where you could see through the cultivation of someone one major realm higher than yourself from a distance!】
Chu Mo’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, an unexpected surprise.
He took a slight breath, and then, along with the gathering of luck, the aura on his body gradually increased. Soon, it increased threefold!
He was still a Half-Step Heaven-Human, but he felt that at this moment… Facing a true Heaven-Human, perhaps he wasn’t without a chance to fight!
“…What is that?!” The Demon Emperor was startled at this moment. Having been with Chu Mo for so long, his understanding of Chu Mo wasn’t shallow.
In addition, he also mastered the Qi Observation Art… Although he couldn’t see through the exact situation of someone stronger than himself… However, under the circumstances where Chu Mo didn’t hide anything, he could still sense Chu Mo’s cultivation soaring in a short period of time…
From his interactions during this period, he knew that Chu Mo hadn’t truly stepped into the Heaven-Human realm, but this… Could it be that he had taken that step?!!
The Demon Emperor was covered in cold sweat, and despair and fear surfaced in his heart.
No… Why?! In this world… Why could you break through!!
Wait, could it be because he saw those around him… No way!
These things are problematic, and you can break through just by looking at them? The Demon Emperor had the urge to smash a brick on his own foot. His body trembled slightly due to anger and fear, and he couldn’t wait to travel back five days and slap himself twice for making this decision.
“Then thank you for your help! I’ll treat you to a big meal afterward.” Chu Mo looked at the Demon Emperor with a smile. The Demon Emperor’s body shook, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He was angered to the point of vomiting blood… Truly killing a demon also requires destroying his heart!
Taking several deep breaths, the Demon Emperor barely squeezed out a smile, “You’re welcome… As your loyal tiger, it is my duty to serve you… Please continue forward! What truly hides ahead is the reason why my Demon Qing lineage can dominate the world…”
Then…
As they walked, the Demon Emperor found the rope around his neck suddenly tightening, and he couldn’t move forward.
◈◈◈
“Without thinking, I know there must still be small surprises! I’ll come back in ten years. I’ll go back now… And properly organize the world!” Chu Mo said with a smile.
With the Demon Emperor’s attitude, perhaps there was a power hidden ahead that could resist or even kill a Heaven-Human… Since he had guessed this, Chu Mo naturally had no intention of courting death.
First, organize the world for ten years, and let the world truly be at peace… If the merits are sufficient, the lower limit of the Heroic Spirit’s quality will be guaranteed…
At that time, he would come back to see what was going on!
Even if he died… As long as he could truly step into the Heaven-Human realm before death! For Chu Mo, that would be a huge profit!
However…
“How can this be… You, you, you, no, no, no! It can’t be… You have to go in!” The Demon Emperor broke down, roaring to move forward, but no matter how his tiger claws carved deep marks on the rocky ground, he couldn’t take another step forward…
He could only watch with a face full of despair as he got further and further away from that door…
◈◈◈
Ten days later.
Chu Mo returned to Kyoto and officially began the reforms…
In the first year, he started universal education and promoted literacy for all. He contacted the British Empire through trading companies and tried his best to introduce the most advanced and mainstream technologies of the time.
Because the Industrial Revolution had just begun, it wasn’t difficult to introduce them! Especially since the Divine Province didn’t hesitate to spend silver and was willing to bring in foreign experts…
In the second year, Chu Mo publicly released the Basic Cultivation Method that he had specially created for the world.
This set of cultivation methods, though named “basic,” could be called a top-notch technique of the modern era, incorporating the mysteries of many Innate Grandmaster methods into one… The upper limit could reach the Grandmaster peak! The world was shocked.
Because this was the only known method that could achieve Grandmaster through hard cultivation!
It was precisely because of this that this method was praised by many Grandmasters in the world as—the leader of all martial arts! Unrivaled in the universe!
In the fifth year, universal education began to show initial results.
In the eighth year, industrialization was initially completed.
In the tenth year, the sixteenth Innate expert who had switched to the Basic Cultivation Method broke through with a bang, achieving another Grandmaster of the Divine Province! The number of Grandmasters loyal to the Divine Province government had exceeded twenty…
This was extremely unbelievable. The Demon Court had spent a hundred years to cultivate only fifteen Grandmaster experts loyal to the imperial court. But the Divine Province had exceeded twenty, and it only took ten years.
At the same time, according to incomplete statistics, the number of cultivators in the Divine Province had tripled. This was still because the Divine Province was in the initial stage of industrialization… With the continuous improvement of productivity and the continuous increase in resources per capita, the number of cultivators would usher in a surge in the foreseeable future.
The Divine Province had entered a period of extreme prosperity that had never been reached since the Demon Court!
However…
At this moment, Chu Mo happily stepped down from his position, stating that Ji Xiaolan would temporarily act as the Lord of the World… But because he was the first successor, he would be subjected to extremely strict assessments, and if he was slightly careless, he would be impeached and removed from office!
After arranging everything he could think of, Chu Mo, ignoring the high-level officials’ pleas for him to stay, once again embarked on the journey to Changbai Mountain.
