Transmigrating Through the Heavens: Starting with the Silly Pillar of the Courtyard

Chapter 350 Martial God Hall

Of course, the result was that they did not actually have a major battle. After all, if a major battle were to break out between the Martial Emperor and the Demon Emperor, it would be a full-scale war between the two races.

It seems there's an unspoken rule on the Hanyun Continent: neither side is allowed to cross the border and hunt other races.

For example, a Martial King is not allowed to hunt innate demonic beasts at will, and similarly, a Demon King will not hunt innate Grandmasters at will.

Even Grandmasters of the Innate Realm cannot arbitrarily hunt Level 1 or Level 2 wild beasts.

To put it bluntly, unless the other party intends to offend you, or you kill two of them to establish your authority, you cannot do so.

However, one should not exterminate them all, nor should one actively hunt down and kill the weak.

There were once martial kings and innate grandmasters who did this without believing in evil, which eventually provoked the demon king. The demon emperor directly launched a beast tide and destroyed many human cities.

Therefore, on the continent of Hanyun, you should worry about your own kind rather than other high-level races.

After all, no one cares if a high-level human expert kills a low-level martial artist.

Similarly, no one will care if a high-level monster kills a low-level wild beast.

The Vast Cloud Continent is such a complex yet clearly defined world.

Tens of thousands of years ago, human society was not like this.

At that time, monsters were the masters of the Hanyun Continent, and humans were nothing more than livestock kept by monsters.

Countless humans live in a dark cave from birth to death.

Their only value is to be devoured by hungry monsters and converted into energy.

Some humans unintentionally discovered martial arts techniques and skills, which gradually led to the development of cities and civilizations.

However, overall, humanity is still in danger of being slaughtered. Each time a beast tide comes, it is only by the death of countless humans that humanity can get a brief respite.

At that moment, the first Martial Emperor, Ma Yun, appeared.

It was precisely because the God of War, Ma Yun, saw the suffering of humanity that he created basic cultivation techniques, basic boxing methods, basic medicine refining, and basic weapon crafting.

Actually, the Martial God Temple didn't have a name at first. They were just servants taken in by Martial God Ma Yun in order to pass on the basic skills to more people.

Later, to express their gratitude, people respectfully referred to them as envoys sent by the Temple of Martial God.

In fact, those envoys later became kings of various human kingdoms.

They each established a Temple of Martial God in their own countries, which enshrines a statue of the Martial God, Jack Ma.

At the same time, they strictly adhered to the ironclad rule given to them by Martial God Ma Yun: they were not to keep the basic techniques secret. Instead, they were to share them with all of humanity, and every Martial God Temple must always be open to ordinary people.

Several of them chose to hide for their own selfish reasons, but in the end, they were all attacked by the others.

This ironclad rule later became a rule that everyone would abide by, unless you created your own innovative techniques or martial arts skills, in which case you could choose who to teach them.

It is precisely because of this ironclad rule that genius martial artists continue to emerge in the human society of the Hanyun Continent.

This is why humans and monsters now share the territory of the Hanyun Continent.

To put it bluntly, the city is for humans, while the wilderness is the territory of monsters.

As for the journey to and from, everyone relies on their own abilities.

Therefore, even a superpower can barely control no more than ten million square kilometers of territory.

Within the ten million square kilometers mentioned here, there are still monsters.

This is also why martial artists on the Hanyun Continent can earn ten times the monthly salary of ordinary people.

Because every martial artist experiences life and death throughout their life, and may die in the wilderness during a single mission.

Of course, as the employer of a martial artist, one must provide a portion of the compensation; otherwise, the martial artist would not be willing to risk their life for their employer.

Becoming a martial artist is both an honor and a responsibility. How one survives the life-or-death struggle and breaks through to higher levels depends on one's own destiny.

Fengcheng in the Great Xia Kingdom is a very small county town, under the jurisdiction of Liushi in Hua Province.

Fengcheng has a population of over 500,000, which is considered the size of an ordinary county town in the Great Xia Kingdom.

However, Fengcheng is the outermost border city of the Great Xia Kingdom, and to the north of Fengcheng lies the Ten Thousand Monster Mountain Range.

Many powerful martial artists choose to rest and recuperate in Fengcheng, and then go to the Monster Mountain Range to hone their martial arts skills.

Or it would be more appropriate to go to the Monster Mountain Range and make money by hunting monsters.

Whether they are monsters or humans, they all essentially improve themselves by absorbing the resources of the other.

Ferocious beasts can increase their energy cultivation and advance to the level of demon beasts by devouring martial artists.

Martial artists can also hunt ferocious beasts, use their fur to make clothes, use their bones and flesh to forge weapons, and eat their meat to improve their cultivation.

Therefore, countless life-and-death battles take place every day in the Monster Mountain Range, with the successful ones leaving with generous rewards.

Those who fail become the enemy's spoils of war.

Fengcheng is such a unique city, which is why a full 100,000 troops were stationed in the northern part of Fengcheng.

In such a small county town, there is actually a Martial King-level expert in charge.

So don't underestimate Fengcheng just because it's small; its commerce is extremely prosperous.

It wasn't just the adventurers who traveled back and forth every day who were generous with their money; the army of 100,000 also needed a lot of money for various daily necessities and some special needs.

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Everyone has their own needs, especially powerful martial artists. They are full of energy every day, and besides training and fighting, they must also love women.

However, as a soldier, one naturally cannot bring one's wife along. Only a Martial King or a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm would have maids to serve them.

Ordinary soldiers, such as corps commanders and centurions, naturally did not receive such treatment.

However, as soldiers, their monthly salary is more than ten times that of ordinary people. How can they resist the urge to find women?

Moreover, the Great Xia Kingdom does not oppose prostitutes.

Therefore, there is a special street in Fengcheng, which becomes a scene of bright lights and bustling activity every evening when the streetlights are on.

The street had over a hundred restaurants and brothels, which opened at 5 p.m. every day and didn't close until 2 a.m.

These shops sometimes even stay open all night, so there are usually no people during the day, and people only appear in the afternoon.

The women here come from diverse backgrounds; some have fallen on hard times and choose to come here to earn money and support their families.

Some women are single because their husbands have died unexpectedly, and they have no other means to support their families.

In short, the women here all have different tragic lives.

It's not necessarily true that you can only have a gambling father and a sick mother.

Liu Cuihua was just an ordinary prostitute at the Jinxi Building in Fengcheng. What made her different?

That means she had been working at Jinxilou for almost five years, and she should have earned a lot of money serving people there.

Many people stay here for two or three years, and then choose to leave with their money.

The Great Xia Kingdom does not oppose the operation of brothels, but it does not tolerate coercion. If caught, the person will be arrested, imprisoned, and fined until they are bankrupt.

Therefore, the idea of ​​forcing women into prostitution simply did not exist in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The women here are free to come and go, and the brothels never force them. There are plenty of men willing to do it, so they won't deliberately cause trouble.
