On the open ground,
Pei Jinye stretched out his hand, with golden and black light intertwined.
The flying sword in front of him trembled incessantly.
“Clack!”
The flying sword fell.
“Another failure!”
Pei Jinye pondered thoughtfully.
“To operate the “Taiyi Star Mastery Technique”, it lies in the ‘Mastery’ character, to add this line of thought into the “Supreme Unlimited Demon Scripture”… Since the sword itself doesn’t possess life, it can’t be inhabited directly like Chang Youlong did back then.”
“What I have to do is to endow the sword with life.”
“To endow…”
“How to endow it?”
Pei Jinye continuously experimented with the emerging methods.
If it had not been for his LV7 level intellect, he probably wouldn’t have been able to bear such extensive mental exertion.
“Nourish with Vitality.”
“I already possess Telekinesis… and this also involves knowledge of Artifact Refining.”
Pei Jinye sunk into deep contemplation.
He watched the longsword on the ground slowly absorb blood.
“It’s slow, but it also means my approach is correct.”
“If the “Supreme Unlimited Demon Scripture” confirms my conjecture, then my combat power could rise again.”
“However, the increase in combat power is secondary…”
“It’s this mindset of controlling all things that’s most important… If in the future I refine the entire galaxy or even the river of time and space, wouldn’t I become immortal and invulnerable? Who then could harm me!”
Pei Jinye retracted his gaze and extended his hand, summoning the flying sword back into his grasp.
“Excellent, excellent, excellent!”
“The future looks promising for this old ancestor!”
…
Just as he was preparing to continue his closed-door cultivation, an urgent request for an audience came from Kunad’s side.
“What’s the matter?”
Pei Jinye looked over with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Kunad felt a knot tighten in his heart and quickly said, “Your Majesty, it’s not that I intentionally wished to disturb you, but the Empire is truly bullying us, claiming that we’ve recently been too close with Summer Country…”
“Our closeness to them is none of their damn business. Do you really need to consult me about such trivial matters!” Pei Jinye rebuked.
Kunad promptly knelt down, with a mournful expression, “Your Majesty, since you were not showing up, the Empire sent three First level enforcers to take me mid-journey. Fortunately, they feared you and didn’t dare to do much to me, but between the lines… they implied they hope for more cooperation with us.”
“Cooperate on what?” Pei Jinye asked indifferently.
He wasn’t the least bit surprised by the annoying nature of the Empire’s approach. However, they had been silent for nearly half a year.
Had they finally grown impatient?
“They want us to void our agricultural and trade cooperation with Summer Country, offering to find us new partners.”
Pei Jinye looked over, “They’re going to help us find partners? What sort of nonsense is that? Tell them not to bother, just give us one trillion a year, and that will do.”
“…”
Kunad chuckled dryly.
Pei Jinye looked at him, “You realize how outrageous that demand is, don’t you?”
Kunad knew full well the intent of his king and promptly replied, agreeing, “When the Empire came to me initially, I immediately rejected them. What does it mean to follow their arrangements? Who do they think they are? We have a Grandmaster, after all. They are nothing but wealthier – so what! They don’t even have a single Grandmaster, a bunch of rubbish! I scolded them fiercely then and there!”
Pei Jinye glanced at him.
This guy.
“Tell them, if they have any ideas, come to the Royal Palace and talk to me in person. Also, get in touch with Summer Country and Mao Country. What about the money from Kou Country? Spend it on equipment, don’t penny-pinch.”
Kunad immediately grinned sheepishly, quickly adding, “Your Majesty, Kou Country still owes us fifteen billion and said they need to wait.”
“Wait? Wait for what? Tell them I want to see the money today. If I don’t see it, then it won’t just be a matter of fifteen billion anymore!” Pei Jinye said coldly.
Now that his cultivation technique had reached great success,
he feared not the firepower of this world.
Even if the other side detonated a nuclear bomb, it wouldn’t matter.
He could simply flee.
Moreover–
Pei Jinye increasingly felt that with the Power of the Stars bolstering him, his physical body might really withstand a nuclear blast, it was merely that he lacked a reference.
“How dare they, with their insignificant land!”
Kunad acted accordingly.
Kou Country continued to delay.
The message reached Kou Country in the morning, and Pei Jinye flew over in the afternoon.
It just so happened that Kou Country was experiencing a torrential downpour.
That day, in full view of the entire world, Pei Jinye demonstrated what was known as The Punishment of Thunder from Heaven.
…
…
Whether Kou Country knelt or not was unknown, but the smaller countries near Tanwood Country were the first to capitulate.
More than a dozen countries scrambled to telephone Tanwood Country, vying to cling to its coattails.
Kunad paid them no mind.
He was only concerned for the king in a faraway land.
“Keep a constant watch on the Empire, Summer Country, and other nations’ movements; the moment they attack the king, immediately launch an attack on their residences.”
Kunad had a rare moment of cleverness.
This directive, subtly conveys a clear message to the world outside: Tanwood Country stands united, ready for a decisive battle to the death.
That evening.
The heads of the foreign offices of the Empire and the Summer Country both arrived at the same time. Whether it was a pie-in-the-sky offer of persuasion or not, Kunad had just one thing to say, “If the King dies, then we all die together.”
…
…
The Punishment of Thunder from Heaven could not be concealed at all.
Kou Country inevitably lowered its head, and even the Empire had recently become more compliant.
The might of the Thunder God displayed by Pei Jinye affirmed Tanwood Country as the true center of the Martial Arts World.
The outside world began to inquire more and more into Pei Jinye’s strength.
…
A top martial artist from Kou Country could hardly believe it, “How did he do it?”
“It’s beyond our comprehension…”
An Empire martial artist said, “Could human beings really control the Power of Heaven and Earth? If so, does it mean that humans can achieve immortality…”
A researcher from an Empire lab said, “I really want to study the flesh and blood of that person from Tanwood Country; perhaps we can analyze something… It’s not impossible.”
A martial artist from the Summer Country said, “A Grandmaster is already so formidable? I always feel… that person from Tanwood Country hasn’t told the whole truth… Can someone be this strong above the First level?”
“Maybe this person has already surpassed the Grandmaster… he just hasn’t said so.”
“What exactly did Master Tianzang leave behind in his relic that we don’t know?”
…
…
Meanwhile.
A torrential downpour enveloped all of Kou Country.
Because the King of Tanwood Country descended in person, they suffered heavy losses in Kou Country.
At this moment, in the Prime Minister’s Office of Kou Country.
“Have you made contact?”
“Not yet… We haven’t been able to find him since he showed himself once ten years ago.”
“We must find him!”
The old man with the goatee spoke in a deep voice.
The people in front of him looked at each other, and one spoke in a low voice, “Little Pigeon Lord, why must we find him? Although I heard he was once a powerful figure, so many years have passed… How could he be a match for that demon head from Tanwood Country?”
“That’s why you don’t understand,” the goatee old man scolded.
Everyone bowed their heads, yet their curiosity was hard to hide.
The goatee old man slowly stroked his white beard, his voice filled with unhidden respect, “He is the Technique God. It’s because of him that our Kou Country could establish a foothold in the Martial Arts World… Now, only he might possibly withstand the ferocity of that demon from Tanwood Country!”
The people’s expressions varied.
They looked at each other.
“So many years have passed, won’t his strength have declined?”
The goatee old man said indifferently, “You will never understand the strength of the Technique God. It’s an ability that transcends human imagination. We must find him, we have to.”
At that moment, a tall, thin man in the crowd pondered, “I suddenly remember, there was a time I overheard someone say that while he was playing in the Empire’s Terror Valley, he seemed to have encountered someone like the Technique God. I thought it was a joke at the time…”
“The Empire… Terror Valley…”
The goatee old man’s eyes flickered as he immediately dialed a number, “Arrange for people to go to the Empire’s Terror Valley. Be extremely careful not to alert other forces and try your best to invite him back.”
The call ended.
The goatee old man spoke in a somber tone.
“Cancel all actions against Pitan until the Technique God is found.”
“Understood.”
…
…
The King, acting alone, transformed into a Heaven God to confront a powerful country, and even made the enemy bow down, an act that invisibly exhilarated all of Tanwood Country.
Seeing Pei Jinye appear in the Royal Palace, everyone could hardly hide the admiration on their faces.
The concern that previously arose from offending Kou Country had now been swept away.
Not far away, something resembling a rolling ball of meat came running at high speed.
“King!!!”
Kunad’s booming voice was instantly recognizable, and the onlookers’ gazes subconsciously shifted away.
“Roll over here and speak properly,” Pei Jinye said irritably.
Kunad instantly swallowed the mournful words he was about to say and approached with a smile, “King, when you personally went to Kou Country, I was anxiously worried for a long time… Luckily, your strength is unparalleled, deterring those petty thieves. Otherwise, I would’ve truly led the troops to attack Kou Country.”
After finishing, he switched sharply to fervently admiring Pei Jinye’s feats against Kou Country.
Then he presented a report.
“The new yield has already begun to be tallied, and with the maturity of labor and machinery, it’s estimated to be 2.5% higher than last time. However, we are confident that the next batch’s yield will increase again.”
“Well done.”
Pei Jinye rarely expressed his praise.
Kunad couldn’t hide his elation.
Seeing him obviously anxious to say more, Pei Jinye saw through his petty thoughts and said, “Come with me to the back mountain.”
Kunad’s expression brightened at the words.
Going to the back mountain meant the King was willing to teach him a thing or two.
But Kunad had no idea that Pei Jinye’s demands would become more stringent, and soon his cries of pain echoed around the back mountain.
…
…
After Kunad left being supported by others, Pei Jinye withdrew his gaze, “This guy!”

Nevertheless, he understood that at Kunad’s stage, with power and influence as well as a large family, one naturally lacked the sharpness and ambition to progress.
To reach even greater heights was truly hard.
“Cultivating an elite that is loyal only to me takes a considerable amount of time… Well, the Federation’s robot system can be installed. Though upgrading the software infrastructure of this world is a bit of a hassle, it will save effort in the long run.”
Defense measures are actually secondary.
What Pei Jinye cared about more was the spiritual practice resources brought by the plantations.
