Great Zhou, Emperor Jing’s thirtieth year.
Emperor Gaozong stayed alone in the imperial mausoleum, and passed away peacefully in his sleep. In accordance with his last wish, Emperor Jing buried him directly in the mausoleum without holding a large funeral, so as not to burden the people and waste resources.
After that, Emperor Jing observed three years of mourning, not resorting to weapons or war, which made neighboring small countries breathe a sigh of relief, with some even feeling fortunate that Gaozong died well.
This was not surprising given the attitude of those small countries; this was mainly because Emperor Jing of Great Zhou was a ruthless person, even more so than previous rulers of the dynasty.
During the thirty years since Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he extinguished three small countries, including the Later Song. Jing was actually prepared to move on to the fourth country, but had to reluctantly give up halfway due to the death of Emperor Gaozong.
When he reached fifty years old, Emperor Jing completed the conquest of four nations and withdrew from his position. Just like his ancestors before him, he passed the throne to the crown prince.
At this time, the new emperor ascended the throne and took the title of Emperor Danzong.
Fifteen years after Emperor Danzong, Great Zhou swallowed another country, making its national strength unprecedented. Not only neighboring small countries but also nations faraway started sending emissaries to the Great Zhou dynasty to pay tribute.
At this point, Great Zhou’s power was overwhelming!
Xigu Pass, a small town at the foot of the mountain.
Not many people lived in the small town. As evening approached, women began to call their children home for dinner. The hardworking men only had hearty smiles, pouring a glass of water and wine to relieve a day’s fatigue.
Although Great Zhou’s national strength was thriving, they still needed to work, but they had enough food and clothing. Even during the New Year, they could afford some fabric to make new clothes for their wives and children.
This was already a prosperous era.
At this moment, in the forests of Xigu Pass, Liang Sheng was almost one with the forest, hiding outside of the thick fog-shrouded mountain cave, undetectable by anyone.
Since Liang Sheng severed his identity as the Zhou family’s “ancestor” by now, sixty-four years had passed. Throughout these years, the Hua Tian Sect had never sent anyone, and Liang Sheng gradually relaxed, but he did not completely let down his guard.
However, with so many years gone by and an ample supply of Qi Refining Pills and spirit stones, Liang Sheng’s cultivation had no bottlenecks under the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, and his cultivation level had once again improved. Even the distance to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Level was finally within reach…
