Chapter 343 (2/2)

James laughed and turned to look at Fang Xingjian as if he was looking at a treasure.

Fang Xingjian was truly a treasure. For Fang Xingjian to be invited to participate in the Martial Techniques Grading Plan… In James’ eyes, he was already considered the Regional Academy’s star, an extremely precious treasure.

“Xingjian, go ahead. To be honest, the results achieved by the Rebirth Sword Technique have far surpassed that of our imaginations, and it’s something which you achieved by yourself. With such results, we should give you the support that you need.”

Fang Xingjian said,”There’s a chance for me to spar with the Sword Saint. Of course, it won’t be now, but when I’ve gotten a little stronger, I hope to use him to train my sword arts.”

James nodded.”I’ve not shown any killing intent when I spar with you. It’ll be different with Sasa. He hates you to the core. If you were to spar with him, it’s true that you’ll be able to improve your sword arts. However, it must be when I’m around.”

With that, Fang Xingjian once again returned to the days where he would just cultivate his sword arts and temper his attributes. However, compared to the peace he was enjoying, the outside world was extremely noisy.

…

At the center of the Empire, there was an extensive and impressive palace. It was unknown what materials the massive palace was constructed with, but under the sunlight, it was as if it had been sprayed with a layer of golden paint.

Patrolling Imperial Guards wearing golden armor were guarding the palace. There were various pavilions, buildings, and carved railings all over. The palace was the epitome of luxury and enjoyment.

These buildings on the ground, however, were just the accommodations for the palace maids and soldiers.

In the air, there were over a hundred palaces floating in the clouds. They were all made from various precious metals, and the roofs were covered with precious stones which shone colorfully. The wealth here was immeasurable.

From afar, the scene looked as if one was seeing the heavenly world, the celestial realm.

These were infrastructure which even the modern Earth would not be able to create. It was because the powers of Divine level experts had been used to create such a miraculous architecture.

At the center of the palaces in the sky, there was one palace which was the most brilliant and majestic-looking, one that was extremely great in size. In the palace, the Second Prince was kneeling, saying,”… Your Majesty, this is what that had happened.”

The Second Prince was elegant-looking while dressed in a golden robe. However, he was unable to hide the refreshing and outstanding aura he exuded.

Before him, there was a tall silhouette which was encompassed by layers of golden light, making it hard for others to see his appearance clearly.

The person did not reply to the Second Prince, and the latter did not dare to urge for an answer. He merely stayed in the kneeling position, waiting for the actions of the other party.

“The First Prince has arrived!”

Just then, many calls came from outside the palace. Then the First Prince was wearing a golden robe and armor, revealing extreme dignity and dominance… Before he had gotten close, his laughter had already arrived.”Second Brother, it’s no wonder you hadn’t taken any action despite there being such an upheaval in the Great Western Region. So, you’ve actually been complaining to our father about me.”

The Second Prince threw the First Prince a cold glance and said,”Eldest Brother, the Rebirth Sword Technique shouldn’t be forbidden.”

“Shouldn’t be forbidden? The Rebirth Sword Technique is the best Nurturing sword technique we currently know of and yet you wish to promote it. Could it be that you want everyone in the world, including those aristocratic vermins, to cultivate the same set of sword technique as us?

“Are you afraid that they won’t be able to catch up to the royalty with their powers? And so, you want them to be of a threat to the royal family?

“Do you know that once this sword technique is disseminated out, how much ambition would be born from it? The world would henceforth become chaotic.”

The Second Prince shook his head and said,”Everyone’s abilities will be boosted, and the gap will still remain. Only when the people have become stronger and achieved higher standards of living will our country then gain greater prosperity, wealth, and power.

“We should increase the strength of every individual citizen and not treat them as we do to bandits and robbers. We shouldn’t be be wary of them and suppress them.”
