Chapter 20: Building the Foundation

Zhang Fulong released all his aura, and displayed his cultivation of the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining without reservation.

In an instant, a black cloud appeared above Zhang Fulong's head.

Not long after, this black cloud dropped a thunder tribulation on Zhang Fulong, which was terrifying.

Is this the tribulation?

The onlookers were trembling, it turned out that the tribulation was to be struck by lightning.

After nine thunder tribulations fell, Zhang Fulong was already dying, and his body was full of wounds. If there was another thunder tribulation, he might not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, after the nine thunder tribulations, the black cloud dispersed, and a rosy glow shone on Zhang Fulong, and the injuries on his body were visibly recovering.

Not long after, Zhang Fulong recovered as before, and burst out with a stronger aura than before.

"I successfully broke through the foundation today. Fulong Temple will absorb disciples in half a year. Anyone who is predestined can come."

Now the world knows that the foundation is built above Qi Refining.

However, what does this have to do with them? They just came here to see the demeanor of the immortal.

Then again, this trip is worthwhile, because Fulong Temple will accept disciples again.

This is a great joyous event. It was a hundred years ago since Fulong Temple last accepted disciples.

In Fulong Temple.

"I wonder if your Majesty has any important business in Fulong Temple?"

After the tribulation, Zhang Fulong saw Liu Xiu in the crowd at a glance, and knew that he was the descendant of Liu Shuo and the current emperor of Dali.

Seeing Zhang Fulong asking, Liu Xiu knelt on his knees and bowed: "Liu Xiu, the great-grandson of Liu Shuo, greets the master."

Liu Xiu greeted as the descendant of Liu Shuo, not the emperor of Dali.

Zhang Fulong accepted this bow.

Although Liu Shuo was only a nominal disciple of Zhang Fulong, he was also Zhang Fulong's only disciple. No matter what, this thought was still there.

Zhang Fulong pulled Liu Xiu up and asked, "When did your grandfather die?"

"To answer Master, my grandfather died thirty years ago at the age of ninety-nine. He died peacefully, and the only regret was that I couldn't go back to Fulong to see him for the last time."

Liu Xiu replied that he was only eight years old thirty years ago and was also an ignorant child.

Ninety-nine years old is already a very old age among humans.

But compared to Zhang Fulong, this old age is not worth mentioning, so Liu Xiu didn't say it.

Thirty years ago.

Zhang Fulong thought about it. At that time, there was no major turmoil in Dagan, and Liu Shuo was enjoying his old age.

"I already know it. If your majesty has nothing else to do, please go down the mountain."

Zhang Fulong issued an order to expel him.

"I do have some things to ask Master." Liu Xiu said, and this time he asked as the emperor.

"Your majesty, please speak."

"May I ask Master, how long will it take for the world to change?"

As an emperor and a descendant of Liu Shuo, Liu Xiu naturally knew about the good fortune of that year. He had a hunch that the world was about to change.

"Not far away, just in the next few years." Zhang Fulong said truthfully.

He was able to break through to the foundation building stage, which meant that the spiritual energy in the Tianyuan Realm was enough for a small number of people to practice, and this small group of people included the descendants of the original 365 generals.

Hearing Zhang Fulong's words, Liu Xiu frowned. He guessed that the world was about to change, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. What would happen to the new Dali Dynasty?

"Please ask the master, what should my Dali Dynasty do?" Liu Xiu asked.

The Dali Dynasty had just been established, and there were many remnants of the previous dynasty, and the number of places occupied by the Dagan royal family was quite large.

Once the world changed, many cultivators appeared among the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the world that had just settled down would inevitably be in chaos again.

"Your Majesty, do you know what kind of people can have spiritual roots?"

"Those who can have spiritual roots for cultivation are one in ten thousand, and they must be lucky."

Liu Xiu answered without thinking.

Zhang Fulong glanced at Liu Xiu again and said, "Isn't your majesty a lucky person?"

"This..."

After being enlightened by Zhang Fulong, Liu Xiu immediately understood.

Aren't lucky people people with great luck? He himself is a person with great luck, otherwise how could he sit in this position.

"Master, please explain." Liu Xiu asked again. He understood it, but he didn't understand the deep meaning and how to do it.

"Back then, Immortal Master Lin Tian said that the first batch of practitioners must have 365 descendants.

Immortal Master Lin Tian dared to make such a guarantee, which must have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao. The first batch of people with spiritual roots must have descendants of these people.

I have spied on the secrets of heaven. The number of people with spiritual roots in the first batch is the number of Jiuji. I don't know the exact number. I don't know whether it is 810 or 999.

Except 365, Your Majesty still has a lot of room for operation for the remaining number. As long as the Dali royal family gathers a lot of luck, the probability of spiritual roots will be higher.

As for how to gather luck, I don't need to explain this. Your Majesty knows how to do it."

For Liu Shuo's sake, Zhang Fulong and Liu Xiu made it clear.

"Thank you for telling me, Master."

Liu Xiu bowed. Zhang Fulong's words helped him a lot.

"There is another thing for your Majesty to understand. People with spiritual roots are not necessarily human."

Zhang Fulong reminded Liu Xiu again.

Liu Xiu was stunned.

"Master, do you mean that some animals can become spirits?"

This is not a good thing. Once an animal becomes a spirit, it will definitely cause a huge impact on humans.

"Your Majesty, please go down the mountain."

Zhang Fulong has said enough today. The future of the Dali Dynasty depends entirely on fate.

After Liu Xiu left Fulongguan and returned to the imperial capital, without informing anyone, Liu Xiu announced the establishment of a department and a guard.

One is the monitoring department, and the other is the demon-eliminating guard.

The former is to inquire about intelligence, and the latter is to exorcise demons. The two complement each other.

This made everyone confused. They didn't understand why the emperor set up these two departments, and where the demons and monsters came from in this world.

But soon the court officials reacted. The emperor went to Fulongguan and came back. Could it be that the emperor got some news in advance?

If this is true, the world will inevitably be turbulent again.

After that, Liu Xiu issued many decrees, all of which are about people's livelihood issues, and they must be implemented in every village. Those who dare to neglect them will be severely punished.

The mobilization strength of Dali this time is unprecedented, breaking the criticism that the imperial power does not go to the countryside.

This is good for the people, but it is unbearable for officials.

I usually slack off for eight hours, and I have paid holidays on holidays. I listen to music when I have nothing to do. It's so comfortable.

Now, as long as they are alive, they will work hard to death, without any rest time.

It is really difficult to be an official in Dali, this is what all the ministers think in their hearts.

It is not clear what the emperor wants to do and why he is so impatient. Once these policies are implemented normally, the subsequent monarch can keep the family business even if he is an idiot.

The emperor is completing the affairs of several generations at the moment.

The emperor is a bit harsh, but the public response is good, and the people are all grateful to this new dynasty.
