Chapter 899: Chapter 471 Imperial Historiography (7k2)_2

The Grandmaster Imperial Supervisor followed behind Chen Mu, respectfully saying at this moment: “Indeed, among the four armies, only the Vermilion Bird army is not based on the Vermilion Bird Demon Blood, but rather on the Heavenly Demon Luan Bird. When the Great Ancestor Emperor swept across the realm, he scoured the Ninety-Nine States, yet failed to find the Heavenly Demon Vermilion Bird, thus lacking this particular essence, and had to reluctantly settle with the Heavenly Demon Luan Bird to complete the Vermilion Bird army.”

“However, the Vermilion Bird army moves swiftly and possesses special Spirit Weapons that allow large numbers of army soldiers to employ the Sky Flying Technique, though their strength is weaker among the four armies, their uniqueness remains.”

As an Imperial Supervisor of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court, with martial arts cultivated to the Grandmaster level, it is natural to be aware of many secrets of the Imperial Court.

Chen Mu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The difficulty in finding the Vermilion Bird is understandable; using the Demon Blood of the Heavenly Demon Luan Bird as the foundation means the troops are collectively weaker than others, but with the use of certain special Spirit Weapons, allowing some soldiers to use Flying Escape, descending like divine weapons, indeed compensates for some shortcomings, aligning closely with his understanding of the Vermilion Bird army.

The Luan Bird Heavenly Demon is only of the Ninth Rank, its Demon Blood value not high enough, requiring more quantity, which is why it is not surprising that it wasn’t placed in the Ji Family Mansion Treasury, so Chen Mu simply put it out of mind.

If it were the Demon Blood of the Vermilion Bird, it would be indeed greatly beneficial to him; but if it’s merely the Demon Blood of a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, it essentially holds little use for him now. It can be said that the Martial Blood flowing within him is of a quality far superior to a Ninth Rank Heavenly Demon, even more refined and pure than the Demon Blood of a Tenth Rank Heavenly Demon!

Swish.

Chen Mu once again threw out the Qiankun Bottle.

A moment later, the last pool of Azure Dragon Demon Blood was completely collected by him.

The three great Blood Pools of Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, storing Demon Blood, can cultivate millions of army soldiers for several generations, but now he has taken this foundation and essence, and soon they may exist in name only.

At this thought.

Looking at the empty Blood Pools, Chen Mu couldn’t help but feel a sense of lament.

A millennium-old dynasty will decay, a century-old family will return to dust, a battle-hardened army sweeping the realm will one day vanish from the world, leaving only a historical note; all things are transient under the Heavenly Dao Cycle.

What does it mean to be immortal?

How to transcend earthly limits?

Only through the endlessly refined Immortal Body, Heart Unity of martial arts will, and a Soul Heart tempered through a Hundred Tribulations can one reach the path to the Immortal Divine Realm!

“It must be sooner.”

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

Though still very young, his qi-blood is so vigorous, he might live a thousand years youthful, far surpassing any martial artist in longevity, comparable to a peerless Heavenly Demon; yet a vague thought persists within him.

Be quick.

Be faster.

He does not know why he has this indistinct feeling; it merely seems like an uncertain presentiment.

Martial artists undergo countless trials, emerging from life and death, often their intuition is founded; thus far, Chen Mu can faintly perceive the origin of this premonition, as if it’s a sense of urgency given by the world.

Why?

Is it because such a being like him, with potential to ascend to the God Realm, poses a threat to this world, causing its will to press him subtly?

Or perhaps due to his pact with Xunmu?

Chen Mu couldn’t quite discern; this nebulous feeling is akin to seeing flowers in fog, somewhat unclear. But he always acts according to his heart, planning to continue striving onwards until he truly reaches the God Realm, breaking the shackles of the world, instead of stopping to enjoy recklessly.

Otherwise, he could overthrow the Da Xuan Dynasty, change Qiankun, hold supreme earthly power, indulge in excess, with thousands in the harem, lush wine pools, and nightly revelries.

Leaving the Azure Dragon Secret Vault.

After careful examination to ensure nothing was overlooked, Chen Mu finally stepped out of the West Vault.

On a White Jade plaza amidst ruins, Chen Mu casually gestured toward a distant direction.

Swish!

Immediately, an Imperial Supervisor dressed in court robes swiftly approached, bowing respectfully to Chen Mu.

After Chen Mu flattened the Imperial City, few Imperial Supervisors from the Da Xuan Court escaped; most remain in the court. It was not because they couldn’t escape, but because they chose not to.

Although Chen Mu suppressed the Capital City, his intention remains unclear; regardless if he wishes to become Emperor, change Qiankun, or support others in reaching the highest position, the presence of Imperial Supervisors is still required, making little difference to them, just a change of master.

As Imperial Supervisors, they are trained from youth to follow orders.

“How is the situation in the front hall?”

Chen Mu asked this arriving Imperial Supervisor.

The Imperial Supervisor kneeled on one knee and quickly responded: “Reporting, your excellency, all officials of the court have gathered, representatives from the Ten Great Sects of Central Prefecture have arrived too, though other forces from Jingji Road have yet to assemble fully, some are still arriving.”

“Hmm.”

Chen Mu nodded, then asked: “Where does the Da Xuan Dynasty Court keep records of forbidden places?”

Since those from the court have not arrived, there’s no rush to go; in fact, he has little interest in governing Central Prefecture, Jingji Road or even the world. He is also not skilled in such matters; although he has led territories, he adheres to using strategies that deploy those skilled in governance to manage them.
