The Gama Empire is the Gama Empire of the Gama Royal Family. The Yunlan Sect may be powerful, but it can only be considered the number one civilian power within the empire.
The royal family has a system for governing its territory and cultivating talent. For example, after Zhang Yuan joined the military, the merit system was able to continuously bring strong people to the empire. There are six Battle Kings guarding the three major fortresses in the south alone.
However, the royal family also needs to cultivate an heir. With Jia Xingtian, a peak Douhuang, in the family, and the previous two emperors falling one after another due to the fall of the Chuyun Empire, Yaoye and Yaoyue received even more resources for their upbringing.
Although Nalan Yanran was a direct disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master, sects and the royal family are ultimately different, so even Nalan Yanran could not use too many resources.
Otherwise, Yun Yun wouldn't have personally gone to the Monster Mountain Range to "borrow" materials from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, nor would she have agreed to help the Pill King Gu He steal the Strange Fire from the Snake-Man Tribe to repay a favor in order to make him refine pills.
In comparison, Nalan Yanran is an eighteen-year-old two-star Great Dou Master and a twenty-one-year-old peak Dou Wang (Life and Death Gate), which is much stronger than Yao Ye, a twenty-two-year-old one-star Dou Ling.
The geniuses in the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy received far fewer resources and treatment than Yao Ye, but their talents were all stronger than hers.
"weak!?"
Yao Ye felt insulted.
She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "You forced me to do it."
As she spoke, she swung her spear with increasing speed, her fighting spirit surging.
The strongest fighting technique of the Gama Empire's royal family is the low-level Earth-rank spear technique, which is suitable for both battlefield combat and hand-to-hand fighting. However, to master it, one needs to have a deep understanding of spear techniques and a cultivation level of at least a Grand Master.
Her grandfather and father were both poisoned on the battlefield against the Izumo Empire and eventually died. Many soldiers of the Gama Empire were also poisoned to death. Therefore, the two countries are sworn enemies and national enemies.
She has been practicing with a gun since she was a child. Although she has not yet learned any Earth-rank combat skills, she has mastered a mid-level Profound-rank gun technique called the Raging Tide Gun Technique.
"You have every reason to be proud of your defeat by this fighting technique."
Yao Ye fully displayed his strength.
Gunfire erupted, stacking together to form a frenzied wolf, instantly covering several meters.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Yuan held his sword in one hand and said calmly, "It's time for the game to end."
Princess Yaoye, you were the one who used your fighting technique first!
Zhang Yuan raised his longsword, and his aura changed, with all the surging lightning in his body converging on the sword.
Facing the shadow of the spear and the waves of fire, he neither dodged nor avoided, but poured all his fighting spirit into the strange fire longsword, and then thrust it straight forward.
This is a low-level Xuan-rank combat skill, Thunder Strike, which he has mastered perfectly and even innovated upon.
Different flames are part of it, and battle qi and lightning can naturally be added to it as well.
This sword strike was brilliant and swift, without any variation, and it seemed to have no follow-up moves.
Zhang Yuan poured ninety percent of his battle qi into this sword strike, creating its incredible speed. This was no ordinary sword strike; it was the wrath of the Thunder God, a lightning-fast attack.
"boom!"
A flash of lightning tore a slit through the sea of spears, allowing Zhang Yuan to pass by and arrive in front of Yao Ye.
The lightning dissipated, and the strange fire sword was pressed against Yao Ye's neck, carrying a power that could devour a person.
"Your Highness, you have lost."
boom!
Behind Zhang Yuan, lightning suddenly appeared, engulfing the sea of spears.
The one-star Dou Ling was utterly defeated by Zhang Yuan in a head-on battle.
Yao Ye looked blank and speechless, seemingly unable to accept this reality.
Qin Jingyan's eyes widened with excitement, and he shouted, "Brother Yuan is awesome!"
He was so happy.
Zhang Yuan was defeated in a head-on battle even by a one-star Dou Ling, so it's only natural that he would defeat him, a peak Da Dou Shi.
It's not that he's bad, it's that Zhang Yuan is too freakish.
Qin Zhendong: "."
"Your Highness," Zhang Yuan said with a smile as the flames in his hand gradually dissipated, "do you think 30,000 military merits are worth it?"
Yao Ye withdrew his spear, his expression complex, and said, "Of course I am worthy. I hope Commander Zhang will give me more guidance in the future."
Without waiting for Zhang Yuan's reply, she turned and left, clearly wanting to find a place to calm down.
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything more. After she left, he asked Qin Zhendong, "Commander, is there anything else?"
"That's all, you can go back now." Qin Zhendong waved his hand.
Princess Yaoye was so angry that she left. He needs to think about how to explain this to Jia Xingtian.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Zhang Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned around, and left.
He arrived at the entrance of the commander's mansion without any obstacles and found that Meng Xu had already returned and was guarding his silver-horned black rhinoceros.
Meng Xu was not alone; he was surrounded by three "acquaintances": Meng Xing from the Qingyun Meng family, whom he had met at Shuanglong Pass; Qing Yanjing from Wanshuge; and Qin Hai from the Qingyun Escort Agency.
"My lord."
Meng Xu had been keeping an eye on the gate of the Commander's Mansion. He spotted Zhang Yuan immediately and led the three of them forward.
"I have met Commandant Zhang."
Meng Xing, Qing Yanjing, and Qin Hai greeted each other with clasped hands.
Meng Xing's eyes were filled with unease, clearly indicating that he already knew Zhang Yuan's identity.
Qing Yanjing's eyes were filled with curiosity, and her pupils sparkled beautifully.
Qin Hai was filled with gratitude, after all, Zhang Yuan had helped him before.
"Ok?"
Just as Zhang Yuan was about to respond, he sensed a sudden tremor in the Thunder God visualization diagram within his divine sense.
Immediately, he felt his consciousness appear out of thin air somewhere, begin to rise, and begin to transcend.
"what's the situation!?"
Chapter 47 Seven Purple Moons! The Heavenly Ranking
Zhang Yuan discovered that he had lost his connection with his body, his consciousness had completely transcended, and his soul power had become independent.
However, he felt no fear, because the drumbeats coming from the Thunder God Visualization Diagram stabilized his mind and gave his soul a special power. He only needed one step to reach the Spirit Realm, which was a prerequisite for alchemists to refine eighth-grade pills, something that most Dou Zun could not possess.
On the visualization diagram, there appeared lightning beyond his comprehension, blasting a path in the void with great direction, carrying his consciousness to sublimate, and in an instant, he traversed tens of thousands of feet, hundreds of thousands of feet, and millions of feet.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Yuan felt as if he had transformed into lightning, witnessing countless magnificent sights but unable to remember them all. Finally, he arrived before a towering stone pagoda that seemed to stretch endlessly, yet exuded an incredibly ancient aura.
With Zhang Yuan's current level of cultivation, he couldn't discern the depth of this tower at all. He only felt that it was vast, ancient, and possessed supreme majesty. However, the Thunder God Visualization Diagram conveyed a message to him: the two characters "Floating Pagoda".
A pagoda? A pagoda?
Could it be the ancestral pagoda of the ancient Futu clan in this vast world?
It wasn't that Zhang Yuan had a vivid imagination; it was just that he had met a woman named Qing Yanjing before the "accident" happened.
In the vast world, there are five ancient clans that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. The Futu Ancient Clan is one of them. It has three major lineages, one of which is the Qing lineage. Qing Yanjing is a genius that the clan rarely sees once in ten thousand years.
The Futu Ancient Clan possesses a supreme sacred artifact of the Saint-grade level, which is extremely powerful and can suppress even Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns when fully activated. It is also the source of cultivation for the Futu Ancient Clan members.
The combination of an ancient pagoda called "Futu" and the woman Qing Yanjing makes it hard for Zhang Yuan not to connect them.
But before he could think further, the drums sounded again, and he found that his consciousness passed through the ancient tower without any hindrance, and he arrived at a boundless space filled with a mysterious aura.
The most striking feature of this space is the seven bright moons hanging in the sky, all purple, beautiful yet not gaudy, noble and aloof, ancient and supreme, connected to each other, containing a certain mystery.
Zhang Yuan was so captivated by the seven bright moons that he was completely engrossed in them and failed to notice the mysterious aura gathering and solidifying around him, with a tiny wisp of it seeping into the depths of his consciousness.
"Boom!"
The drumbeats sounded again, like thunder, instantly restoring Zhang Yuan's consciousness to its original clarity.
Immediately afterwards, he felt as if time was reversing, his consciousness retreating outside the ancient tower and beginning to sink.
Just then, as if possessed, he looked into the distance and saw an endless expanse of divine light, which transformed into a mysterious light curtain that was difficult to describe. The surging spiritual light contained incredible power, making it impossible for anyone to have any desire to probe it.
Zhang Yuan felt a movement in the Thunder God Visualization Diagram deep within his sea of consciousness, which allowed him to see a simple, ancient, and indescribable character "Ye" somewhere in this boundless light screen.
leaf?
Zhang Yuan had read The Great Ruler, and after his soul power was enhanced, he was able to recall all the details.
Could this light screen be the legendary manifestation of the will of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Sky Ranking that can only be activated by a powerful being above the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme after sensing the will of the world?
He remembered that only one person had left their surname on the Sky Ranking so far, and that was the Immortal Emperor, whose surname was Ye.
"So this is the Heavenly Ranking?"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but want to take another look.
This is something only beings above the Saintly Heavenly Supreme level can attempt to invoke the manifestation of the world's will.
Perhaps seeing it ahead of time with the help of the Thor visualization diagram will make the world's will look at it with more respect?
Maybe they'll be given the aura of a chosen one.
Unfortunately, when he tried to look again, he found that the scene before him had returned to normal.
As far as the eye could see, there were Meng Xing, Qing Yanjing, and Qin Hai, their gazes filled with different emotions.
If he hadn't felt his own soul power swell and that he was just one step away from the Spirit Realm, he would have thought everything just now was an illusion.
"Gentlemen, we meet again."
Zhang Yuan responded with a smile, and no one could tell that he had just experienced something strange.
But in his heart, he was already thinking about how to get to know Qing Yanjing.
The Thunder God Visualization Diagram showed no unusual activity in the morning or evening, but it suddenly became abnormal when he was in close contact with Qing Yanjing. There must be a special reason for this.
Just then, Meng Xu spoke up: "Sir, since you know them, why don't we find a quiet place to sit together?"
Qin Hai and Meng Xing both showed expectant expressions, clearly hoping that Zhang Yuan would agree.
Qing Yanjing wore a veil, so her facial expression was not clear, but her eyes were very calm.
Zhang Yuan silently applauded Meng Xu's assistance in his heart, and pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "I've been in seclusion for several days, and I have to go on military duties again tomorrow. I haven't had a proper meal yet. Are there any good places to eat in Qingyun Town?"
