Chapter 1037 - Exchange (2/2)

A pffft sound rang out. The Crown Princess ignored Prince Xin’s reaction. She was not interested to see him begging for mercy, to resist, or to curse either. Instead, she just tapped out a finger and caused his head to explode.

She then looked toward the 250,000-man army in the city that had started to seethe.

The corners of the Crown Princess’ lips curled up into a savage smile. At the next moment, she was like a missile, heading for the center of the crowd.

Boom!

News of the final battle in Qing City had spread through the world like a tornado.

After this battle, the Crown Princess’ reputation became like the soaring sun. Everyone knew that the imperial court had this unrivaled female general on their side.

With the Jing Region and Serene Region taken over and with there being no leader in the Beiyuan Region, the imperial court seemed like it was about to take over three regions. It appeared that the Great Jin Dynasty would soon step up to reach a new peak. Furthermore, with the Crown Princess’ existence, the Great Jin Dynasty had now taken a tremendous leap to become the strongest influence in the world.

No one had expected that the Great Jin Dynasty—which had been extremely weak previously—would now show signs of becoming prosperous once again.

Unknowingly, all the influences in the world stopped their actions.

Although the three regions in the south were respectively controlled by Prince Ding, Prince An, and Prince Yi respectively, they had stopped their raring activities. They kept sending envoys toward each other, showing faint signs of joining forces.

The many feudal vassals in the six central regions who were previously fighting each other had ceased all of their activities unconsciously. All of them turned their gazes in the direction of the Divine Capital.

Rebellion troops rose in numbers in the Min Region, which was situated along the shores. During the period of time when the imperial court was subduing the Serene Region, the Min Region was completely unified by the world’s greatest traitor—Liang Bo. He claimed to have a 500,000-man army under his command, and they called themselves the Red Turbans. They faced the myriad of feudal vassals in Middle-earth.

Although Liang Bo claimed to have a 500,000-man army, his subordinates were a lot weaker than the elites under Prince Xin who had been engaged in war on the plains throughout the year. Liang Bo’s subordinates were of varying standards, and there were even many soldiers who had yet to even reach the Xiantian Realm. They merely entered the battlefield with a blade.

However, be it the three Princes in the south, the many feudal vassals in the central, or the rebellion leader in Min Region, none of them dare to make a move recklessly. They merely lay low to accumulate strength.

When some people saw that the Great Jin Dynasty was rising once again, they waited for the call for enlistment, wanting to join to serve the imperial court.

However, there were also people who knew that they had committed capital offenses and thus wanted to form groups to attack and completely crush the imperial court which was under the Fang Clan’s rule.

Nevertheless, regardless who they were, no one was interested in being the one who made the first move since the righteous cause was still on the imperial court’s side. The imperial court was still very strong, and many people were lying low quietly, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

…

In the Imperial Capital, Fang Xingjian rubbed his forehead, looked at the Crown Princess, and asked, “Has it ended?”

“The Serene Region has been subdued completely. Next, I plan on attacking the Beiyuan Region and taking back Prince Xin’s old base.” The Crown Princess leaned back into a wooden armchair and lifted her legs that were wrapped in tight training pants high up, propping them on the tea table at the side.

After she shared her following plans, she looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “Alright, it’s the agreed time again. Let’s exchange our martial arts.”

Fang Xingjian nodded and shot out a stream of sword intent. It suddenly appeared at the Crown Princess’ forehead, coming and leaving without any trace. Despite the Crown Princess’ realm, she was still unable to detect how it had come to her.

“Instant Sword?” The Crown Princess absorbed the information contained within this sword intent, and a hint of astonishment gleamed in her eyes. “To think that there’s such a sword technique in the world…? This sword technique’s grasp over time and space has reached the limits of tier six of the Divine level.”

“Coming and leaving without a trace…” The Crown Princess threw a glance toward Fang Xingjian and a rare hint of admiration revealed on her face. “Your sword arts are really amazing.”

A hint of pride appeared in the Crown Princess’ eyes. She hesitated a little and said eventually, “But I won’t take advantage of you either.”

The Crown Princess spewed out a stream of golden light and sent it into Fang Xingjian’s consciousness. It contained countless golden scriptures that were densely-packed together. There were several million words.

Fang Xingjian instantly scanned through it and understood what it was.

“Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique? This is the Royal Heavenly Great Art’s main structure?”

His eyes narrowed slightly. He had not expected that she would give him such a good thing.

If it could be said that the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint was a technique in the Royal Heavenly Great Art that strengthened one’s foundation and defended one against enemies, then this Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique was a core theory in the Royal Heavenly Great Art. It was one of the most essential parts.

“That’s right,” the Crown Princess said proudly. “This Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique is a supreme technique in our Ascendant Heavenly Sect. It is the Royal Heavenly Great Art’s foundation. It’s in return for your Instant Sword. You’re definitely not on the losing end.”

It was true that he was not on the losing end. At this moment, Fang Xingjian understood that he had not made the wrong decision.

During this period of time that they had spent together, Fang Xingjian started to understand some of the Crown Princess’ character. She was as proud as he thought she would be. This was why he had given her the Instant Sword directly.

The Crown Princess had also reacted the way he had predicted her to. She was unwilling to take advantage of him and shared the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique, which was a technique of great essence.
