Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 265 Cultivating for a Thousand Years
Within the territory of Yuezhou, numerous moon pools appeared, just like the star sea of ​​the past, converging into liquid and emitting extremely concentrated energy.

Within Leizhou, a Thunder Pool was created, brimming with violent energy that nearly formed a forbidden zone.

However, the situation eased up later.

The air is also filled with the energy of its own element.

Today, the people of each of the three prefectures of Dayu have their own unique characteristics.

Over time, the people of Leizhou have become increasingly violent, and many of them practice physical cultivation.

The people of Yuezhou are elegant and aloof, and many beauties have emerged from there.

The people of Xingzhou are more lively, they walk with agility, and their movements are amazing.

In short, their talents have greatly increased.

As cultivation speed increases, physical strength also increases.

Meanwhile, Dayu became increasingly prosperous, and its population continued to grow.

Various new drugs are also emerging from the ground.

Most gratifyingly, it also produced minerals that were never seen in the previous Immortal Realm.

For example, the Thunderstone of Leizhou, if used for cultivation, can make one's physical body tempering faster.

If crafted into weapons or armor, it can increase the lightning attribute.

This type of ore is abundant and has now become one of the commodities exported in large quantities by Dayu.

Not only in Kyushu, but also in the vast and distant lands beyond Kyushu, people are buying them.

Merchant caravans from Dayu also sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

Every day, you can see teams heading to other places along the border.

Moonstone crystal from Yuezhou is also a highly sought-after item. Wearing it can bring peace of mind and prevent external disturbances.

There is even a chance of entering a state of sudden enlightenment.

After being refined into various ornaments by local weapon refiners, they were sold to other places at high prices.

The Celestial Stones of Xingzhou are top-grade materials for refining weapons.

It can increase the attack power of weapons.

These changes have made Dayu increasingly prosperous in recent years.

Many forces are seeking cooperation.

Among them are many powerful individuals.

Moreover, many extremely wealthy families have emerged.

As for their strength, it has naturally improved considerably.

It can be said that the Great Yu Dynasty has begun to influence many forces in the Nine Provinces.

In addition to ores, magical artifacts and elixirs are also being sold to the public.

It has grown into a behemoth.

In stark contrast to Dayu, the other states were still embroiled in constant warfare.

Even in places where the war has ended, the people are still enslaved.

They have no rights.

From the day I was born, everything before my eyes was gray, and the environment I saw was dirty, chaotic, and bloody.

In their minds, this is perhaps how life should be for humans.

Until one day, when wealthy merchants from the Great Yu Dynasty appeared on the street in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, escorted by numerous experts, they saw those once high and mighty immortal disciples showing them fawning smiles.

I just realized that humans could live like this.

Therefore, many people inquired about where the other person came from, and when they learned about the existence of Dayu, they couldn't help but feel a longing for it.

Lu Ming, however, was unaware of these things and was still cultivating.

Now he stands at the crossroads of three states, bathed in starlight, moonlight, and lightning.

This allowed his cultivation, which was already at the peak of the Great Luo realm, to continue to grow.

I don't know how much time has passed.

On this day, Lu Ming felt that his body was undergoing a qualitative change.

Holy light flickered within his body.

Behind him, a huge golden crow phantom appeared, seemingly about to materialize. He knew in his heart that he had broken through.

He reached the quasi-saint realm.

The immense power made him feel an unprecedented surge of energy within his body.

When I opened my eyes, the light reflected there was even more dazzling than the stars.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

Then, in a flash, he appeared in the palace. Everything inside was still largely unchanged, with guards still standing guard on the city walls, patrolling.

The palace maids and eunuchs were also diligently doing their jobs.

Once outside the palace, he could hear the laughter of Li Xirou and the other two women.

However, when Lu Ming went inside...

As the three women turned their gazes toward them, it became clear that their eyes had reddened.

Li Xirou was the first to speak, "Husband, you're finally back."

He choked up a little while speaking.

This was something Lu Ming hadn't expected; he had only been cultivating for a short time.

Why do all three women look like this?

"Have I been cultivating for a long time?"

Lu Ming said with a smile.

He stepped forward and embraced the three of them.

“It’s been a whole thousand years. If you don’t come back soon, Fuguang will be getting married.”

Li Xirou said with some complaint.

After all, Lu Ming's cultivation time this time was far too long.

The other person's eyebrows twitched slightly at that moment.

"Fu Guang is getting married? Whose daughter is she?"

This was something he was quite concerned about; Fu Guang was the Crown Prince of Dayu, and his wife was the Crown Princess of Dayu.

It is something that must be done with caution.

"I knew you would ask that. She is the direct granddaughter of the Xuanhuang Ancestor. It is said that she is his only granddaughter and is very precious to him. Fu Guang met her by chance during an outing. At that time, neither of them knew the other's identity."

They almost came to blows, but I never expected they'd end up together.

I heard that the Xuanhuang Ancestor is very satisfied with this marriage.

They've sent people to inquire several times, saying they want to meet you after you've cleared customs.

Yu Muyun said softly.

However, Lu Ming couldn't help but frown.

“Ancestor Xuanhuang’s strength is not a problem, but the reputation of their Xuanhuang Sect is not very good.”

"Alright, what can you do if your son likes you? Moreover, Ancestor Xuanhuang is very concerned about this matter. The territories they control outside the Nine Provinces are even directly open to our Great Yu's caravans, leaving them with many conveniences."

Moreover, they even sent people to protect them.

Besides, do you think our Dayu has such a good reputation?
When you first went into seclusion, Fu Guang, you also met a woman from the Heavenly Dao Sect. She was the granddaughter of the sect leader. This sect is considered the number one sect below the level of a saint. The sect leader is said to be a good friend of several saints and is very close to the Taiqing Saint.

After learning Fu Guang's true identity, she decisively made her granddaughter leave him. Now that she's finally found someone she likes, you shouldn't say anything more.

Yu Muyun said slowly.

Lu Ming smiled wryly, "I didn't object, I just said that. It seems we had some minor conflicts with the Xuanhuang Sect back then, but it's nothing serious."

Then, his expression darkened, and he continued, "Let's talk about the Heavenly Dao Sect."

"Alas, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master is close to the Taiqing Sect Master, so naturally he doesn't want to get involved with us. Moreover, he said that his granddaughter would never marry into the Great Yu, which made us give up on that idea!"

Fu Guang was depressed for a while because of this.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey, my son might not even marry him. Once I unify the Nine Provinces, bring peace to the world, and become the Empress of the world, even if he wants his granddaughter to marry into my Great Yu royal family, I won't be willing."

"Then it'll be the granddaughter of the Xuanhuang Ancestor. When we have time, we'll pick a date for their marriage."

"Yes, Fu Guang and that girl Fei Fei went out. They should be back in a while."

Then we can get married.

Yu Muyun said with a smile.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ming said, "You all wait here for a while, I'm going to my study."

Then, they walked outside.

He planned to go to the Imperial Study to see how many points he had now, since a thousand years was enough time for the population of the Great Yu Kingdom to grow significantly.

Another point is to take a look at the changes in Dayu now.
