Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 322 Sakura Chinese Server Soft

A gentle breeze, seemingly rising from nowhere, caressed the earth and dispersed the mist from the distant mountains.

On the shimmering lake surface.

Guan Shaoqing stood motionless with his eyes closed, appearing from afar as if he had merged with the entire world and lake, making him almost imperceptible. A gentle breeze lifted the hem of his robe, giving him an otherworldly and ethereal air.

If nearly half an hour has passed.

Suddenly.

"Om-"

A sacred and boundless aura, as if it were purifying the entire world, erupted from Guan Shaoqing's body.

[Ding! Upgrade complete. The Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra has been upgraded to the ninth rank.]

In Guan Shaoqing's mind.

The message notification from the Book of Creation also sounded.

However, the sacred and mighty aura emanating from Guan Shaoqing at this moment was the purifying power of the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra.

I used the 10,000 merit points I accumulated while fighting demons in the Sakura Kingdom during this period.

At this moment, Guan Shaoqing also raised the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra to the ninth grade of mastery.

Thus, Guan Shaoqing's two Maoshan martial arts, Lightning Thunder Fist and Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra, were finally cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Ninth Grade Earthly Rank, and he also completely reached the Martial Saint level.

"call--"

A breakthrough has been achieved.

Guan Shaoqing slowly opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief as his mount appeared, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

The Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra has finally been upgraded to the ninth rank of mastery.

Guan Shaoqing's strength has undoubtedly improved once again in all aspects.

The main thing is.

Now that both the Lightning Thunder Fist and the Heaven and Earth Purifying Mantra have been upgraded to the ninth grade of mastery, and their power has reached the level of Martial Saint, he can officially begin preparing to break through to the Martial Saint realm.

Regarding the realm of Martial Saint.

Over the years, Guan Shaoqing has made some progress through continuous deduction of the Ming Dynasty's "Shenwu Dian".

After the current Sakura national affairs are over and he returns to Singapore, he will be able to fully unleash his potential and make his final leap.

As for this trip to the land of cherry blossoms...

"It's almost time to end."

He has been in the Sakura Kingdom for more than half a month now. Guan Shaoqing has almost wiped out the entire cultivation world of the Sakura Kingdom. He also took this opportunity to upgrade the Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Mantra to the ninth grade of the Great Perfection Realm, and even obtained the spiritual weapon, the Heavenly Cloud Sword.

It was a very fruitful experience.

Moreover, after this battle, he believed that neither Japan nor any other country in the world would dare to provoke him easily in the short term.

The purpose of deterrence has been achieved.

Under such circumstances.

Guan Shaoqing should probably stop while he's ahead.

Otherwise, if we continue to pressure them and push Japan to the brink of a desperate fight, that would be counterproductive.

After all, although Guan Shaoqing himself is not afraid of bloodshed, he still has powerful countries under his command. Now that the Republic of Xingzhou has just been established, it is a time when it needs stable development, and it is not advisable to push the Sakura Country to the brink.

In conflicts between nations, it is often necessary to know when to stop while things are going well, rather than pushing people to the brink.

Just like in later generations, nuclear powers could easily resolve the effects of non-nuclear weapons with just a few nuclear strikes, but why didn't they readily deploy nuclear weapons? Because the deterrent value of these weapons is often greater than their deployment value. Otherwise, if they were to deploy them and push people to the brink, their own country might face turmoil in the face of the enemy's relentless retaliation.

Guan Shaoqing's current existence can be seen as a human nuclear bomb of this era. His limited actions can serve as a strong deterrent, but if he recklessly pushes the enemy to the brink, such as by wreaking havoc in Japan, while he might enjoy the slaughter and even completely destroy Japan, his own territories would likely suffer as well. With daily terrorist attacks, how could he possibly develop? However, although he had achieved his objective in Japan, he was prepared to withdraw.

However, if the Sakura Kingdom doesn't take the initiative to back down and offer Guan Shaoqing a sufficiently satisfactory condition, then he certainly won't back down on his own.

After all, he now holds the initiative, and if he wants to back down, Japan would have to ask him for help.

So in the days that followed.

Guan Shaoqing maintained his stance of not giving up until the Sakura Kingdom yielded, and continued his sweeping campaign within the country.

At this time, the Sakura Kingdom's swordsman, Yagyu Osamu, was defeated and killed.

The atmosphere throughout the entire country of cherry blossoms finally changed.

Originally, the entire nation of Sakura was overwhelmingly indignant towards Guan Shaoqing, wishing he could be eliminated as soon as possible.

But with the defeat and death of Yagyu Osamu, a feeling of panic finally spread uncontrollably throughout the land of cherry blossoms.

In particular, the powerful figures in the cultivation world of Japan were hiding and dared not show their faces, living in constant fear that Guan Shaoqing might suddenly come looking for them.

Under these circumstances, influential figures in the Japanese cultivation world began to unite and put pressure on the Japanese government.

In this situation.

The Japanese government finally succumbed to the pressure.

into the night.

Under the night sky in the land of cherry blossoms.

"My name is Toyotomi Hideaki. I greet Your Excellency, Young Marshal."

Toyotomi Hideaki slowly walked out and bowed to Guan Shaoqing from afar.

"Are you the Imperial Advisor of the Sakura Kingdom?"

Guan Shaoqing also looked at Toyotomi Hide and spoke. Although he had never heard of Toyotomi Hide's name and was meeting him for the first time, he could not guess his identity from his cultivation level at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"Exactly."

Upon hearing this, Toyotomi Hideyoshi bowed and replied.

"Then you've come here to fight me, to defend the dignity of your Sakura Kingdom."

Guan Shaoqing continued with a smile.

"Young Marshal, you jest. Your cultivation is unparalleled. Even the Sword Saint could not last three moves against you. My strength is only on par with the Sword Saint. How could I possibly be a match for you? I have enough self-awareness to do so. I will not humiliate you further."

"I am here on behalf of the Emperor to apologize to the Young Marshal and establish friendly relations. In the past, the matters concerning Guangdong and Singapore were indeed wrong of my Sakura Kingdom and offended the Young Marshal. However, these matters were all done by some officials of my Sakura Kingdom who acted on their own initiative. My Sakura Kingdom is willing to hand over these officials and hopes to gain the Young Marshal's forgiveness and leniency."

Toyotomi Hidemichi.

"The officials below acted on their own initiative. Does the Grand Preceptor think I, the young marshal, am easy to fool?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but sneer.

"If you want to negotiate, then show your sincerity."

"Then I wonder what kind of sincerity the young marshal needs."

"I can agree to what you said above. You will hand over some officials. In addition, I want your Sakura Country to publicly apologize to my Xingzhou Republic. Furthermore, your Sakura Country must compensate for the losses caused to my Xingzhou and Guangdong by your previous actions."

"We can agree to the previous conditions, but we need to know how much compensation the young marshal wants."

"This young marshal doesn't ask for much. Just compensate my Singapore with 1 billion taels of silver."

One billion!

Why the hell don't you just rob someone?!
No, this is outright robbery!
