Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Various influences from all over the world started taking action after Fang Xingjian released the news. Aside from Claudia, there were also other Divine level experts who snooped into the palace at night, hoping to find out the secrets of the Divine Sun Emperor’s treasures.
However, even though Claudia’s clone was killed by Fang Xingjian, she managed to hide from his Sudden Inspiration senses with the help of her Divine Country.
Other Divine level experts, who had yet to reached tier five of the Divine level, not only had to suffer a fate of having their clones killed, but their actual bodies were also unable to escape.
However, there were still people who relied on secret arts that concealed their bodies and auras, hoping to infiltrate into the palace.
Within a mere ten days, a total of three Divine level experts were either captured or killed. One of them attempted to turn into countless pieces and integrate into normal people’s consciousness, but they were picked out and crushed by Fang Xingjian’s sword attack.
Another person concealed his cultivation and turned into a flying bird, nesting in the palace. He was seized by Fang Xingjian and slashed into a mist of blood by a single sword attack.
The last person even turned into a plant, slowly growing his way from underground. However, he was uprooted by Fang Xingjian, had his cultivation crippled, and was now made to teach in the Royal Academy.
By taking down three Divine level experts in succession, Fang Xingjian once again displayed his abilities to rule in addition to deterring other Divine level experts from laying a hand on the Imperial Capital’s palace. His Sword Overlord reputation took the land by storm once again.
In the days that followed, Fang Xingjian studied martial arts together with Ulpian and the Immortality Saint while concurrently helping his subordinates in their Divine level cultivation. He also did a purge of the court, especially in the East Military Execution Order that was under Tyrant.
…
In the blink of an eye, almost three months had passed.
Today was the day that Fang Xingjian had called for the Divine Treasures Meeting. Right now, both the inside and outside of the Imperial Capital were filled with people. Countless experts from various places in the world had gathered here.
The respective city gates and passess were assigned with Conferred Knights as well as guards from the East Military Execution Order. There was also a long queue outside the city gate.
Maria was in the queue as well. She looked at the Imperial Capital’s city walls, and a hint of yearning flashed on her face.
At this moment, there was a hubbub amongst the queue, with everyone discussing about the Divine Treasures Meeting.
“Most of the Divine level experts in the land have probably all come.”
“Look! That’s the Zhenyi 1 Sect’s Old Man Ruyi 2 from the north. It’s said that he attained a breakthrough to tier three of the Divine level two months ago! To think that he also came to take part in the Divine Treasures Meeting this time around…”
“And that person over there is the patriarch of the Dragon King Cult from the northern barbaric tribe, the World Salutation Dragon King. He was a Divine level expert amongst the northern barbaric tribe to begin with and has become even stronger now.”
Maria looked at the many experts in the crowd and a hint of solemnity gradually lit up in her eyes.
Three months ago, she had met Fang Xingjian in the forbidden grounds located in the Eastern Sand Region. After being saved by him, Fang Xingjian imparted her with the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique and told her to look for him in the Imperial Capital if she managed to reached the maximum level for this technique within three months’ time.
She had initially thought that it would be impossible for her to reach the maximum level for the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique within three months given her aptitude. However, her understanding and aptitude toward martial arts seemed to improve in leaps and bounds during these three months. One month ago, she had even reached stepped into the second transition.
Her understanding of the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique also advanced at a tremendous pace. She really managed to reached the maximum level for this technique within three months.
Naturally, she came to the Imperial Capital, wanting to look for Fang Xingjian. However, she had also coincidentally encountered the Divine Treasures Meeting that was a rare occurrence even in a hundred years.
This was also the first time that Maria had met so many experts. She had never realized there were so many second transition Knights and Divine level experts in the world.
‘The world’s metamorphosis has caused the number of experts to keep on increasing. The number of Divine level experts, which was a rare sight previously, has also become more than before,’ Maria thought. Looking at the scene before her, Maria sighed and continued thinking, ‘Right now, Conferred Knights are probably just ant-like existences in the Imperial Capital. Even the Divine level experts merely have some abilities to protect themselves. Only those tier four or even tier five Divine level experts would be able to see through things with their wills.’
