Chapter 1267 - March into the Wilderness
This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome
Chapter 1267: March into the Wilderness
Because of these choices provided by Lu Xuan, these Innate Saints and Legendary Geniuses began to choose the Heavenly Court, except for those born in the Emperor Clan or in a family affiliated to the Emperor Clan.
This was the general trend, and even Emperor Clan was powerless to reverse it.
Not to mention, Lu Xuan was even backing them up.
After completing the initial integration of the Heavenly Court, Lu Xuan gave another order.
“March into the wilderness Decree!”
Lu Xuan issued another decree, wanting to expand the Heavenly Court’s territory entirely.
The Heaven Realm was vast and boundless. Even the three thousand prefectures, which occupied a vast area, were only part of the Heaven Realm.
There is still a large portion of the remaining area that was not within the scope of the three thousand prefectures.
Among these areas, there were many criminals, wanted criminals, ancient reclusive cultivators, and others who were living outside of the Heavenly Court.
Lu Xuan issued a decree requiring all itinerant cultivators outside the 3,000 prefectures to register in the Heavenly Court. They were not allowed to exist outside of the Heavenly Court system.
As for the Sky Devil Path Magnates who were hiding inside, wanted criminals of the Heavenly Court and others; they were all within the scope of being eliminated.
This decree caused a thousand ripples because Lu Xuan was the first Imperial Emperor to act against the wilderness area. Before this, all the Imperial Emperors did not really care about this.
The Heavenly Court initially had 3,000 prefectures, but now, these 3,000 prefectures were just fake count. The actual amount was far more than 3,000 prefectures. Every once in a while, new territories would be added to these 3,000 prefectures.
However, that was natural expansion. As the population of the Heaven Realm increased, it slowly moved to the border area and gradually turned the border into the inland area. The 3,000 prefectures under the Heaven Court’s control also continued to grow.
However, large-scale reclamation was something that had never happened before, not to mention that everyone knew just how many ferocious beasts were hiding in the wilderness.
Many people who committed murder in the 3,000 prefectures were all hiding in the wilderness. There was no order at all.
And there were too many ferocious beasts hidden within. Ordinary Immortal Kings didn’t dare to make such a suggestion because they had no way to deal with those ferocious beasts in the wildness.
But when it came to Lu Xuan’s generation, things were completely different. After his previous life experience, Lu Xuan finally understood that these wildernesses were like land mines. When the war between the Heaven Realm and other Realms heated up, they would suddenly explode.
This wasn’t just a possibility. It was something that had happened in his previous life.
In this life, it was Lu Xuan’s turn to be in charge. Naturally, he wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen.
Under the decree of the Heavenly Court, countless Sects, families, and experts were in excitement.
This was because under the March into the wilderness Decree, if it was a mountain that they had taken down, it would belong to them. The wilderness had yet to be developed on a large scale, and there were countless treasures in it.
Moreover, they could use the heads of the wanted criminals hidden in it to exchange for points and resources of the Heavenly Court.
In addition, the Heavenly Court had sent many Immortal Kings to lead the troops personally into the wilderness. Just by following behind the Heavenly Court’s army, they could even eat to their heart’s content.
For a moment, all the Royal Clans and the Great Golden Immortal Sects were marching into the wilderness. Under the full force of the Heavenly Court, the parties in the wilderness could not resist at all.
Many secluded sects came out of their mountains and handed over their surrender forms, defecting to the Heavenly Court.
The difference was that they could be carefree and aloof from worldly affairs, but if they defected to the Heaven Court, they would have to pay taxes to the Heavenly Court. Thus, their initial interests would naturally be significantly weakened.
After the various armies marched into the wilderness, the mysterious veil of the wilderness was finally revealed. Only then did the people in the Heaven Realm know that another world existed in the nature that they thought.
This was because, in the wilderness, many forces were complicated. There were all kinds of secret bases and small countries that hid in their own systems.
Many magnates also occupied a part of the wilderness and developed a very prosperous civilization. Even many forbidden lands became blessed lands under their exploration.
Bit by bit, they extended into the depths of the wilderness.
But now, the fruits of so many years of exploration and construction were being plucked by the Heavenly Court.
Unless one joined the Heavenly Court in time, they would face the consequences of being attacked by the Heavenly Court.
Although these powers were developing very rapidly and even had Immortal King Magnate among them, that was all about it.
They were nothing compared to the Heavenly Court, which controlled more than half of the Heaven Realm’s strength.
Moreover, under the stimulation of the latest law of the Heavenly Court, all the significant forces in the Heaven Realm went crazy in the reclamation, entering the wilderness world.
They directly defeated the wilderness world. Either defected to the Heavenly Court and became a part of the 3,000 provinces of the Heaven Realm.
Or they could only move to further depths of the wilderness world.
That was the actual forbidden land where miasma was rampant. It was impossible to live there without countless lives being the pioneer.
For a moment, the entire wilderness was filled with wails.
“The Heavenly Court is not giving us a way out. Let’s fight it out with them!”
Some Immortal Kings hiding in the depths of the wilderness were roaring.
These Immortal King Magnates could hold a very high position in the Heavenly Court. It was needless to say that they were mighty and unrestrained. They could even wield incredible power.
They were unwilling to join the Heavenly Court because other than a few itinerant cultivators who pursued freedom, most of them had offended the Heavenly Court and committed numerous bloody crimes. It could be said that they were all supreme devils.
“How can we compete with them? Have you forgotten that there’s still that damned Lu Xuan in the Heavenly Court? Everything that happened today was caused by Lu Xuan!” An Immortal King immediately said in denied.
Because they were Immortal Kings, they understood the Imperial Emperor’s terror better than people of other Realms. If he really wanted you to die at midnight, even King of Hell didn’t dare to let you live beyond 3 am.
Therefore, even if they could only survive the attack of an Immortal King, they could still boast about it for the rest of their lives.
And Lu Xuan was a supreme fierce man who had killed several renowned Imperial Emperors consecutively before completing his cultivation path. A monster within a monster. How could they fight against such an existence?
“Go and invite the Great Ancestor. Only by inviting the Great Ancestor can we resist Lu Xuan and make the Heavenly Court retreat, so that they won’t be so aggressive!”
In the depths of the wilderness, an Immortal King suggested. The other Immortal Kings agreed very quickly.
They really didn’t have much time left!
Heavenly Court, Imperial Palace Lu.
Lu Xuan was preparing to enter closed-door cultivation and raise his cultivation base to the peak stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. Above the Heavenly Court, a figure suddenly appeared and headed straight for the Imperial Palace Lu.
“Emperor Lu’s palace is inviolable!”
Immediately, the elites of the Heavenly Court blocked that figure.
