At this moment, the Central Continent, the entire world, and all sorts of past and future appeared extremely clearly in Fang Xingjian’s eyes. The entire world’s history was also developing at an accelerated rate.
After Tang Xian and Huang Shan received the legacies, they immediately started to train in seclusion. The two of them comprehended the martial arts together, improving in leaps and bounds with the help of their cultivation at tier six of the Divine level. Once they discovered the Nine-Tiered Heavens, they immediately attained a breakthrough to tier seven of the Divine level.
However, after heading to different parallel worlds and going through different experiences and ways of cultivations, they started to have different understandings toward Fang Xingjian’s martial techniques and began deviating from each other.
This deviation became increasingly great as their cultivation improved. In the end, whenever they could not come to a conclusion in their discussions, they would end up fighting to prove who was the stronger of the two.
However, as top-notch tier seven Divine level experts, both of them were proud individuals. Furthermore, after discovering that the door between the higher and lower realms had disappeared, they started to have the thoughts that there were no one else in the world but them who could take on the responsibility of handling the world. Therefore, they were even more unwilling to lower their heads and admit their wrongs.
This led to multiple fights between the two of them, and the friction between them kept worsening. Finally, after one huge battle, the two of them went their separate ways.
Then while Tang Xian and Huang Shan were training in seclusion and striving for tier seven of the Divine level, Zhao Hao and Concubine Shu were also improving at a tremendous rate.
This was especially so for Zhao Hao. To begin with, he was a rare martial art talent that was hard to find even in a thousand years, and he was even able to create the Son of Heaven’s Dragon Punch—a great fist technique that could condense Dragon Qi. His martial art talent was not to be underestimated.
After obtaining Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies, he was like a tiger that was given wings or a fish in the water. He let go of all matters concerning the imperial court and fully focused on training in seclusion. Following his fight against Concubine Shu this time around, he understood how important strength was and recognized how his strength was insufficient.
Moreover, the world had started to seethe, and the disciples of the various immortal sects in the higher realm—who had been sent to the Central Continent—started to create trouble, snatching resources and wealth. Without sufficient strength, it was impossible to suppress the disciples from these sects.
A high-ranking official was killed, the herdsmen in the north rebelled, the tribal leaders in the south revolted, and the number of bandits increased. After receiving support from the Immortal sects’ disciples and extorting their resources continuously, many reputable clans started to watch the chaos take place without interfering. Even with all these things happening, Zhao Hao still did not come out from his seclusion.
After three whole months of chaos raging through the world and countless disciples from the immortal sects discovering that the entrance between the two realms had disappeared, things quickly took a change for the worse. They became increasingly less reserved.
There would occasionally be disciples from the immortal sects killing the imperial court’s officials, declaring themselves to be rulers of a terrain, or massacring wealthy and powerful clans. There was even an incident when the Great Solar Sect’s disciples killed a region’s superintendent, plundered the Depository Office, and took away half a year’s worth of the entire western region’s tributes.
The entire world seethed, and the people were terror-stricken. However, Zhao Hao continued to stay in his secret chamber and train in seclusion.
It had been a very, very long time since Zhao Hao had focused on his cultivation like this. Given his aptitude, even if he usually had to manage the balance with subordinates and take charge of the world, his cultivation still improved at a tremendous rate despite only placing aside a small part of his energy into cultivation.
Now that he was fully focused on cultivating, the effects were even more apparent.
Furthermore, Fang Xingjian’s legacies were too complete and systematic that they served as perfect guidance s to cultivators on how they should gradually strive their way up from tier one to tier seven of the Divine level. This was an even greater help to Zhao Hao.
