Chapter 185
After receiving the order from Shadow Demon, King Samo was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. Duke Weiguo finally remembered him!
Unlike those powerful sect masters who were still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was in the imperial capital, and no one knew better than him the amazing changes that had taken place in the imperial capital in such a short period of time.
He was so anxious to see Lv Bu and others break through their previous realms one by one and kill people after being promoted to the semi-saint level.
If it were in the past, a top-level Tianren realm master like him would undoubtedly be a pillar-level existence no matter which force he was placed in, and he had to be coaxed carefully.
But in the current imperial capital, he could not rank at all. Only when he reached the semi-saint level could he be truly reused.
Especially watching Lv Bu and others pacify the four directions and destroy one force after another, the remaining merits were getting less and less, and he couldn't even sleep at night.
After all, without merit, where would the opportunity to stand out come from?
Fortunately, Jiang Hao finally did not forget him and gave him the task of solving the eight major sects. Although his contribution was not as great as that of destroying the Eastern Wilderness Monster Clan and the Western Region Buddhist Kingdom, Dharma King Samo was not picky now.
Instead, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by others, he immediately selected a group of Heavenly Realm powerhouses, and then rushed out of the imperial capital with murderous intent.
As for where these Heavenly Realm powerhouses came from?
Before Ji Yuanwu and others were destroyed, hundreds of Heavenly Realm powerhouses who accompanied them were captured. They were not members of the Ji clan, and Jiang Hao did not kill them all. Instead, he selected some of them, imposed restrictions on them, and placed them in various departments of the New Dynasty as thugs.
The strength of the eight major sects may not be weak, but how can they stop Dharma King Samo, who is eager to make meritorious deeds, and these Heavenly Realm powerhouses who also want to make meritorious deeds in exchange for a chance to survive?
Not to mention that there was a shadow demon in the semi-saint realm secretly following them. It seemed to be everywhere, so that the eight major sects did not have a single fish that escaped the net, because no matter where they hid in the secret passages and secret rooms, they would be easily caught and nowhere to hide.
In just one month, the eight major sects that had been kings and hegemons in the Central Plains for many years were solved one after another like withering with dry wood and rotten wood.
There were also a large number of noble families, gangs, bandits and even local officials who served as wings and helpers for the eight major sects, and they were also destroyed by King Samo and others.
King Samo himself was not from the Central Plains, and those thugs in the heavenly realm were not from the Qianyuan world. Once they started fighting, they didn't know what it meant to show mercy, and there was no mercy at all.
In this way, after a month, they killed a lot of people and blood flowed like a river.
Without these termites, the entire Central Plains was clear, and countless people applauded.
At the same time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each led a cavalry and swept across the northern grasslands. Any grassland tribe of a certain size became their target. They either surrendered or perished. There was no third way.
As for the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan, Zhang Jiao and his two companions made very smooth progress because they had the guide of the Demon Clan High Priest.
The three brothers started out by preaching, and they were also very good at educating foreigners. In a short period of time, they attracted a group of believers. In the long run, it was not impossible to completely bring the Eastern Wilderness under their rule.
In the middle, Lu Bu went there and successfully found the fortune treasure of the Demon God Empire. It was a sacrificial tripod placed in the ancestral temple of the Demon Clan. Every year, countless powerful demons would come here to worship, and naturally gathered the fortune of the Demon Clan.
When Lu Bu carried the sacrificial tripod back to the imperial capital, Jiang Hao not only gained more than 20 drops of fortune power again, but his Human Emperor Sword was also successfully promoted to a Saint Dao Soldier.
Moreover, because of the gathering of luck, as a treasure of luck, the power of this sword of the emperor is much stronger than that of ordinary saints.
On the side of the Western Buddhist Kingdom, Dong Zhuo and the other two were not merciful people, so they would not show mercy. They also killed people and forcibly dismembered the Western Buddhist Kingdom.
Although the progress was not as smooth as that of the Eastern Wilderness, they were also ready to set up counties in the Western Regions. They only needed to wait for the framework to be built, and the remaining work would be simple.
As for the Wu Clan, there was nothing to say, after all, it was a two-way trip.
From the poor and bad land of southern Xinjiang to the rich water town of Jiangnan, and with spacecraft as a means of transportation, they could not even say that they were suffering, and the Wu Clan was very satisfied.
The only one who was not satisfied was probably Miao Ya and the other two.
They were sandwiched between the two sides, feeling like neither a human nor a clown.
But they did not dare to really run away. After all, looking at the world, it seemed that Jiang Hao's territory was everywhere, and they had nowhere to escape.
He ran to Jiang Hao and begged for mercy, but was thrown out of the mansion by Jiang Hao.
HeFinally, they could only honestly surrender to the Tianlao and enjoy the Tianlao package again.
Three months later, the world was peaceful and the nine states were prosperous. Jiang Hao also officially ascended the throne and established the Great Xia, calling himself the First Emperor of Great Xia.
The main reason was that the court officials wrote to him one after another to make suggestions. The new dynasty had been established for more than three months, but there was still no official title. Even Jiang Hao himself was called the Duke of Weiguo in the past, which was really not legitimate and made everyone feel very awkward.
Jiang Hao himself didn't care. After all, his main job was to lie down and do nothing, and the others were part-time jobs. As long as there were practical benefits, any title was the same in his eyes.
However, all the civil and military officials in the court wrote to persuade him to ascend the throne. The leader was the old friend, the old master, who was now the Minister of Rites and was in charge of the etiquette of a country. He went directly to Jiang Hao's house to make suggestions, and Jiang Hao was really annoyed by him.
He could only follow the advice of the civil and military officials, hold the founding ceremony, formally offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and then announce it to the world. It took a full half month to go through the whole process.
Fortunately, all this was done by the clone, otherwise, if it was Jiang Hao himself, he would probably want to run away halfway through.
Of course, even if the new dynasty was established, Jiang Hao had no intention of sitting in the court, and still let the clone do the hard work.
The only change was that he moved from the Weiguogong Mansion to the palace.
After all, his current identity has become the Lord of Daxia. If he lives in this Weiguogong Mansion again, it would be too outrageous.
But other than that, nothing else has changed.
He should continue to lie down when he should lie down, and he should continue to be rotten when he should be rotten.
As time passed day by day, his cultivation strength also steadily improved.
Although the energy level of the Qianyuan world is low and the cultivation environment is very ordinary, to be precise, it should be very bad. The vitality of heaven and earth is not enough to supply the cultivation improvement of a strong man in the saint realm.
But Jiang Hao's cultivation does not rely on the external environment, but only on the system.
The system gives him tens of thousands of pounds of holy source every now and then, so he has never lacked cultivation resources, and even has better cultivation conditions than most people in the ancient holy world.
In addition to the harvest of various other elixirs, with the help of all these, his cultivation has always been steadily rising.
Saint level one.
Saint level two.
Saint level three.
...
Unknowingly, the one-year period is about to come.
Jiang Hao's cultivation has also steadily reached the Saint level nine.
And it has reached the peak level of the Saint level nine, and it seems that there is only one step away from breaking the bottleneck.
However, at this point, no matter how solid Jiang Hao's foundation is, even if he has the top physique of the human emperor body, he can no longer break through the Saint King realm as easily as before.
After all, no matter how powerful the talent is, there is still a limit, and it is impossible to have no bottleneck all the time.
On the other hand, even in the ancient holy world, the Saint King realm is still a big name, so it is naturally not that easy to break through.
However, looking at the more than 500,000 kilograms of Holy Source left in the system space, there are also more than a dozen bottles of Holy Realm Pills specially prepared for breakthroughs, and more than 40 drops of luck power accumulated in the Human Emperor Sword.
Jiang Hao felt that it should not be a big problem.
