Chapter 310 The Whole Country Surrenders!

That evening, Xiao Wuji, Zhu Xingyue, and their daughter entered the newly decorated bridal chamber.

For the next month, the entire palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, just like the emperor's wedding.

It wasn't until a month later that Xiao Wuji finally broke free from this gentle embrace. It has to be said that the palace intrigues in the harem were truly amazing; every day was a new experience.

And the royal family was indeed the most ruthless, even the emperor's women were no exception. Of the fifty-odd concubines, not a single one remained a chaste and virtuous woman on the verge of death. Even the two Soul Douluo concubines, along with the Crown Princess Zhu Zhuyun, joined in ecstatic joy after hearing only a few words about the benefits, completely disregarding their own status.

After he bestowed purple tattoos upon Empress Zhu's two daughters, he directly handed them over to the two Zhu sisters, instructing them to practice the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Zhu Zhuyun was paired with Zhu Xingyue's eldest daughter, named Dai Xuan. Zhu Zhuqing was paired with her youngest daughter, named Dai Lin.

Zhu Xingyue also found herself a suitable match, supposedly Dai Quan's younger sister, a princess who had been married off for a long time. Unfortunately, this princess had no daughter, which Xiao Wuji regretted for a long time.

Several days later, Xiao Wuji left the embrace of all the heartless people and resolutely walked out of the palace to visit the homes of the ministers, where he was also warmly received.

Younger men would have their wives or concubines accompany the guests, while older men would have their daughters or daughters-in-law. If it were a middle-aged man like Dai Quan, it would be even better, with both generations enjoying themselves together.

As a result, the original surrender plan was delayed again and again. It has to be said that these ministers were truly loyal. Even though they were already under their control, they still did not forget to help their country buy time.

Another month or so passed, and when Xiao Wuji walked out of the Zhu family mansion, he finally gave Dai Quan the order to surrender.

Meanwhile, Ah Yin, far away in the Heavenly Dou Empire, also learned of this news through the Blue Silver Grass that was found all over the world, and told Emperor Qinghe.

Upon learning of this, Xue Qinghe collapsed helplessly onto the dragon throne. She had thought that Xiao Wuji would be delayed for several years because of this matter, since even if she mobilized the armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall, it would take at least a year and a half to take down the Star Luo Empire.

The thought of Xiao Wuji embarking on the path to godhood, while she was still burdened by heavy and tedious state affairs, further compressed her daily cultivation time.

If the Star Luo Empire were to submit to her again, her affairs of state would become even more numerous, leaving her with even less time for cultivation.

For a moment, Qian Renxue felt a mix of emotions. On one hand, she wanted to run back to inherit the divine position, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to give up the great achievements she had just made. At the same time, she felt extremely envious and jealous of Xiao Wuji's free and unrestrained life.

……

On the day Xiao Wuji issued the order, all the cities within the Star Luo Empire immediately announced their decision to surrender unconditionally.

The sudden surrender caught the people of the Star Luo Empire off guard, and many even "spontaneously" gathered to protest, only to be met with a united suppression from all the powerful figures.

From the issuance of the order to the purge of the internal forces, it took less than three days. If this were in a world like my previous life, where there were no supernatural powers, even with more powerful airplanes and cannons, it would have been impossible to achieve such a rapid pace.

Although the upper echelons of the Star Luo Empire surrendered as a whole, how to hand over such a vast territory, what to do with those sects and forces, and how to manage the land of the Star Luo Empire were all troublesome matters.

Of course, the most troublesome issue is the Spirit Hall's attitude. Although Qian Renxue orchestrated the marriage, it ultimately belongs to the Hall of Worship, and Bibi Dong is unwilling to relinquish her current position as Pope. She hasn't yet destroyed the Qian family, nor has she destroyed the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, it not only frequently obstructed the unification of the world, but also vehemently rejected the idea of ​​incorporating the Spirit Hall into the rule of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Eager to inherit the divine position, Xue Qinghe took the opportunity to return to the Hall of Worship. Several worshippers joined forces to depose Bibi Dong from the position of Pope, and the world was finally unified.

Xiao Wuji's long-cherished wish of "spreading martial arts" was finally able to be promoted.

He first established the highest institution of learning, the Divine Martial Academy, at the original border between the two countries, directly opposite the Spirit Hall and near the Star Dou Great Forest.

Then, with Xue Qinghe's help, he had his maids take over the advanced soul master academy in the empire, and had the maids teach martial arts to the best students there.

However, this meant there weren't enough maids, even though he had made a fortune in the Star Luo Empire.

Hundreds of maids may seem like a lot, but when spread across the entire world, it's still a bit of a stretch.

Therefore, while ordering the families and forces he had subdued in the original Star Luo Empire to provide high-quality maids, Xiao Wuji also spread the word that he would select maids from all over the world, regardless of their background, only based on their appearance and talent.

Moreover, as long as you are selected, you can learn a powerful martial art. In addition, the 1,000 people with the strongest talents can also receive a ten-thousand-year soul bone for free. Xiao Wuji put all the ten-thousand-year soul bones on his body into Tiandou City, and they were openly hung in the sky above Xiao Mansion, guarded by A Yin.

In no time, female soul masters from all over the world who considered themselves somewhat beautiful flocked to the Divine Martial Academy, all vying for a spot.

As for spreading the Mysterious Heaven Skill throughout the world, he did not rely on the Spirit Hall's manpower. That would have meant the Spirit Hall would further siphon off what little faith they already possessed.

Xiao Wuji entrusted the task of selecting maids to the "King of Understanding," Zhu Xingyue, while the task of teaching martial arts to the new maids was given to maids like Dugu Yan, whose memories he had altered.

Their cultivation level wasn't very high, but in the memory illusion, they had been learning martial arts from him since childhood, so their martial arts experience was extremely rich, which was more than enough to guide the new maids into the field!
He himself then went into seclusion with Xiao Wu. Among his many maids, Xiao Wu had the longest memory, and the things he had been deducing recently all required a lot of time to perfect.

The selection of the new maid lasted for a full six months, and the excitement remained undiminished, because the soul bones hanging above the Xiao mansion had not yet been claimed by all.

During this time, more than once people tried to steal the Soul Bone, but without exception, all of them turned into withered bones in the tomb. Trying to steal something under Ah Yin's nose is less likely to work; it would be better to let Gu Rong do it, since his spatial abilities are quite powerful.

New maids undergo a year of training after joining the sect, followed by about two years of cultivation. During this period, they are not allowed to absorb soul rings. Even without soul bones, and even if most of the collected moonlight and yang essence are taken by higher-ranking maids, three years is enough time for their soul rings to increase in age by about ten thousand years!

Moreover, the specific classification of these people will depend on Xiao Wuji's personal determination of their levels, which will then determine what kind of soul bones and soul rings they can absorb.
