Chapter 1896: Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Seven:
For a thousand years, martial arts have flourished. Yet, why do the Sacred Land Sects still value the ancient system of the Saint Child’s travels? Because some realities can only be seen by the young.
It was as if when An Yuanxi first returned to the Divine Court and reported his assessment of the Unparalleled Academy to the Temple of Light, it only raised concerns within his own department.
But in the eyes of Qionghua Star Lord, this concern seemed more like the main family propping up a disappointed junior, though done with impeccable etiquette, fundamentally it wasn’t truly valued.
In An Yushu’s view, once his kingly form was healed, how could a mere Red Cloud Wild King pose any obstacle to his patrol of the king?
Yet, in less than a year, the rise of Red Cloud Mountain couldn’t be stopped.
The scale of Unparalleled’s September enrollment was comparable to the major festivals of Xiehe, and even in terms of spread, it far exceeded them.
More troubling was that even the Xu Clan, which traditionally only managed Yuanzhou, had begun openly supporting Unparalleled Academy.
This was a very dangerous signal, suggesting that the Sacred Land, which had been amassing strength for millennia, was finally reaching out to the Outer Continent.
This was no longer an affair that the king’s patrol could handle alone, so An Jingtian directly tossed the problem back to the Divine Court.
For the first time, the name Unparalleled Academy appeared in the Divine Court’s discussions, and tracing the rise of Red Cloud Mountain in recent years always led back to one individual.
But to this day, this new king remains nameless in the archives of the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol.
The presiding God King of Light and the Taiyin Pillar God raised their concerns with Qionghua Star Lord, believing that the new Great Commander overseeing the king’s patrol neither performed his duties well nor upheld the responsibility of overseeing the world.
For several years, the Han Family’s traces could not be found, and even the origins of this Red Cloud New King remain unclear, highlighting a serious neglect of duty.
An Yushu was also displeased. Initially, he took on the king’s patrol to seize power for the Divine Court and to seek his own foundation for sanctification.
But who would have thought misfortune would follow; first losing a Dharma Body in Longzhou, then injuring his kingly form in Jianchuan and losing the Void Divine Hall.
Now another Red Cloud New King emerges, making his ten years as Great Commander more difficult than the century faced by that of the Cao Family.
Now, faced with blame from the Divine Court, he was even more aggravated. When he angrily returned to Qiong Hua Star Palace, An Jingtian had been waiting for a long time.
"After searching through all the records of the king’s patrol, there has been no discovery of any master who entered the path through comprehending the realm of nature, so we can rule out the possibility that the Red Cloud New King belongs to one of the great families."
"In recent days, emissaries were sent to the Undying World and the Domain of Ten Thousand Immortals, but both the Hundred Herbs Immortal King and Huanglong Immortal Monarch were avoiding meeting, so there was no way to obtain information through direct confrontation with their king-holders."
An Yushu’s frown deepened, his fingers seemed to press into the throne: "How can I believe that there could be a force not leaving any trace in the world; is he truly something that dropped from the sky?"
"Based on the current intelligence from the king’s patrol, this new king seems to have indeed appeared out of thin air."
An Jingtian reluctantly said: "The only remaining clue is the first to have had contact with the Red Cloud New King, the King of Luyang, but Cao Lie..."
Thinking of the dozens of inquiries sent to Luyang City that disappeared without a trace, An Jingtian felt even more powerless: "Now that he has aligned with the Seven Sects of Dragon Valley, although Luyang City nominally still belongs to the king’s patrol, in fact, the place has been fully controlled by Cao Lie, and even if he knows the situation of the other side, he will certainly not share it with us."
"You overestimate Cao Lie," An Yushu said coldly: "He’s the kind of guy who considers only himself human and everyone else animals. With enough profit, there is nothing he wouldn’t sell."
"Let the department search for and capture a hundred resentful and extreme Fierce Realm practitioners, and Cao Lie will certainly agree to a trade."
From below, the true peak is hard to see, just as, in the eyes of mortals, kings are beings of unyielding will and far-sighted vision, difficult to persuade from their own path.
But only upon reaching that level do they know their lack of desire or few desires are built upon some kind of extreme desire.
Much like a common man finding something most important in life and wishing he could pour all his time and energy into it.
If you think such people are hard to sway, it only shows you haven’t found the right direction.
Cao Lie’s experiments that others cannot understand are clear to An Yushu at a glance.
"Therefore, let me handle this personally,"
An Jingtian observed the confident demeanor of his lord and spoke in a deep voice.
...
What should a vibrant city look like?
It should probably be like Lingjiang Central Region.
Even in the snowy depths of winter, one can feel a fiery passion.
Even as the year end approaches, the orders for craftsmen show no sign of decreasing.
Clients place orders, seal the contract at the town hall, and this transaction is then protected by Unparalleled City’s certification and the Code.
With the protection of the Code, even the noble families find it hard to oppress and exploit the craftsmen who have no martial power to rely on.
Wealth is no longer just drawn from the bottom upward but circulates downward from the top instead, leading more people to seek their fortunes in Lingjiang Central Region.
Because here, it seems there’s endless work to do; more importantly, there’s a code that can protect ordinary people.
People who were once trapped in mountain cities by floods now descend because they hear rumors that by adhering to the Unparalleled Code, they can live in Unparalleled City.
And once people visit Lingjiang Central Region, they refuse to leave because this brightly lit city presents new things every day, there’s a need for manpower everywhere, and come dinnertime, the aroma of meat can drift through the street from door cracks.
If this is not the best place on earth, then pop one’s eyes out to use them as cannonballs.
Every time an elder says this, the officials at the town hall feel a bit guilty because they know there’s an even better place than Lingjiang Central Region, right before their eyes—Red Cloud Unparalleled City.
Of course, calling it the Academy City might be more fitting now.
After the September opening ceremony, Red Cloud Mountain closed and began internal reformation, with the first part being several fortified towns.
The fiery martial artists and the youthful maidens have no romantic stories, at most a physical transaction.
But everywhere there’s buying, there’s selling, especially in fortified towns.
What Gong Liang once failed to accomplish, the fortified towns did with ease, which made the council members furious.
The evening time reserved for academy disciples is meant for their cultivation, not for them to wander around brothels.
Moreover, the ungrateful wolves inside these towns, after sealing the city, were not chased out mainly because considering they, the elderly and weak, had no place to flourish, and secondly, hoping they could find jobs within the inner city. But who would have thought...
"Expel all involved women from the city, and for all involved academy disciples, report them to the office of academic affairs, at the very least, they must be given detention!"
