Supreme Soaring Immortal
Chapter 69 Spirit Pattern Compet.i.tion
She gently shook her head and sighed. At this time she simply did not have the strength to cross the Daqin Empire into the Frost Empire. Suddenly her heart moved and she remembered the spirit pattern compet.i.tion.
Every ten years, the Martial Arts continent will have a spiritual compet.i.tion. First within the Daqin Empire, then respectively in the Frost empire and the various kingdoms and branches within the Wuzong Temple. Then the Daqin Empire, the Frost Empire and the Wuzong Temple will have a three-way compet.i.tion. If the Wuzong Temple wins the championship, the Daqin Empire and the Frost Empire will give Wuzong Temple each year 10% of their taxes. If the Daqin Empire wins the championship, Wuzong Temple will give the Daqin Empire an equivalent of 10% of the tax training resources each year. The Frost empire did not have to pay 10% of their tax revenue to the Temple of Wuzong, but it would lose a city and if the Frost Empire won then it would gain a city. The three parties alternate as hosts.
The spirit compet.i.tion cannot allow those Spiritual Grand Scholar level people to partic.i.p.ate, so there is a requirement for age, must be 30 or under and a spirit master.
Qin Shuang silently calculated, from the next spiritual pattern compet.i.tion is just four years away. The compet.i.tion between the kingdoms within the Daqin Empire is three years later, and the major compet.i.tion of the spirit masters of each kingdom is one year ahead. That is to say, its less than two years away. In the kingdom, there must first be a compet.i.tion between the cities and towns. There are only three places for each city. The capital of w.a.n.gdu is no exception. One year ahead, the compet.i.tion in each city is now less than eight months away.
“It looks like I’m going to take part in the Spirit Pattern Compet.i.tion.”
Because now, the location of the next spiritual pattern compet.i.tion will be in the Frost Empire, which is her only chance to go to the Frost Empire.
Then Qin Shuang cannot help but reveal a bitter smile. She did not understand the spiritual pattern world. She also didn’t know whether her level would allow her to fight all the way to the Daqin Empire, and eventually become the Spirit Master representative for the Daqin Empire.
Fortunately, there are still four years left, and it is a first-cla.s.s compet.i.tion, so Qin Shuang has time to learn the Spirit Art. She also carefully recalled her previous life, although she was not a spirit-master in her previous life, but the results of such a large spirit-pattern compet.i.tion she still knows. It’s just that she can only recall the results of the tenth spirit compet.i.tion at best, and not the results after her rebirth.
But the results of this tenth major spirit compet.i.tion make Qin Shuang smile bitterly. In the tenth major compet.i.tion Wuzong Temple actually won seven sessions. That is to say, the Daqin Empire and the Frost empire have handed over taxes for 70 years. Its no wonder Wuzong Temple is so powerful, so many resources are added every year, how can they not be powerful?
And the remaining three are won by the Frost empire. That is, the Daqin Empire has ceded 3 cities to the Frost empire. In fact, even the former Qin Shuang is not very concerned for who wins between the empires. When the first two empires went to war, the former Liu Meiruo was not willing to fight on the battlefield with the Daqin empire, but at that time she was not yet a Martial G.o.d, naturally she was conscripted by the Frost empire.
Liu Meiruo is not of aristocratic origin. Her father is only a civilian. Liu Meiruo was able to practice to the Martial G.o.d realm, can be regarded as her father’s success in teaching her. Later on she joined an adventurer group, all the way taking risks to obtain training resources, and then she happened to get a relatively advanced cultivation method, step by step she cultivated to the Martial G.o.d realm. It was only because the cultivation method she had received was not advanced enough to ignite the fire of the soul, so when her repair entered the Martial G.o.d realm, it stagnated.
The so-called protectors of the country, are carnivores.
Protecting the empire is to protect the interests of the aristocrats. To allow those n.o.bles to have more resources for cultivation, and to occupy the high-level cultivation methods, which are matters that the n.o.bility attach great importance to. And the people are really not concerned about this matter. They simply think only to survive everyday. No matter who becomes the emperor of the empire, as long as they survive, they can accept. This is the difference between the country and the world.
The state is what the aristocracy maintains, and the world is what the people maintain for their survival. Therefore, when the commoners cannot survive, that is the moment when the whole worlds survival is at stake, not the conquest between the state and the country.
Liu Meiruo is also the same, she is only concerned about her own progress in martial arts. When her repair broke through into the realm of Martial Emperor, she was not accepted into the Frost empire, but joined Wuzong Temple.
This is the rule set by Wuzong Temple. All those who break into the realm of Martial Emperor must join Wuzong Temple, but Wuzong Temple does not restrict each Martial Emperor. All you need to do is simply withdraw from your position in the empire or kingdom, and then you’ll be able to live your life.
You can go anywhere, but you are not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the fight between empires.
Throughout the Martial Arts continent there are only two men who are above Martial Emperor who did not have to join Wuzong Temple. The emperor of the Daqin Empire and the Frost Empire, but the remaining martial arts men must give up their posts and join Wuzong Temple once they break through to the Martial Emperor.
Of course, there have been Martial Emperors and above in history who have refused to join Wuzong Temple. But without exception all have been surrounded and killed by Wuzong Temple. So the original Liu Meiruo also had to join Wuzong Temple.
There has been one of the most vigorous wars in history, caused by a small kingdom under the Daqin Empire, called the Azure Dragon Kingdom.
Just a small kingdom, why would they give rise to such a vigorous, and legendary reputation in history?
It’s all because of a single man, named Shen Canglang.
He is the king of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!
Shen Canglang can be said to be the most outstanding figure in history. He is different from all of the n.o.bles. When he was a prince, he not only revealed great cultivation talent, but he was different, even different from his father, brothers and sisters. This difference comes from his att.i.tude towards the common people. He is not the kind of n.o.ble that oppresses the people but treats them in an equal manner.
This is inseparable from his origin, Shen Canglang is just a prince, his mother died early. He was forgotten by his father, and humiliated by his brothers and sisters. Shen Canglang secretly left the kingdom in a fit of anger, he traveled far and wide. In his years, he saw the vileness and brutality of n.o.bles, but also saw the tragic suffering of the people, and gradually his views on the world changed.
And with his superb talent, even if he’s hiding himself traveling the world, it can’t hide his brilliance. When he returned to Azure Dragon Kingdom with his ideals, his repair had already reached the peak of Martial King. So he inherited the throne without any suspense, and thus he began to implement his ideals.
