MTLNOVEL Chapter 161_2
If the people of the Immortal Sect knew that Meng Yu had hooked up with a Golden Core expert just like that, they would surely be envious to the point of ascending on the spot.
Then, once again, he transmigrated, and once again, he returned, but this time, he first went to the Great Wu Minor World. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Great Wu, ah no, it has been renamed to The Great Tang Dynasty now.
This was the nation's title set by Meng Yu, and the capital was renamed to Eternal Peace.
In the past, dynastic changes often resulted in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but those that changed hands quickly tended to be inherently deficient.
However, The Great Tang didn't have this problem.
The current Emperor, Meng Yu, started from scratch and became the emperor in five years, and no one among the various heroes questioned it, for he was the true myth of the Martial World.
Apart from killing countless enemies daily, after entering the Capital, Meng Yu leveled a mountain and set up an arena on top of it, where all the experts in the world could challenge him, as long as the number did not exceed one hundred.
It wasn't that more couldn't come up, but if a hundred people gathered couldn't defeat King Meng Tian, what use would even more people have?
Meng Yu defeated all the invincible opponents on the arena, and no one could withstand even one of his moves, including the Battle Arrays from several Martial Holy Lands, which were like dogs and chickens before him.
It was an absolute suppression of power, and what frightened people the most was that he didn't even kill anyone, at most causing fractures or serious injuries.
Countless people started groveling at King Meng Tian's feet, and the major families quickly examined themselves, behaved properly, and sent envoys to serve King Meng Tian, sending noble daughters to the palace.
After becoming the Emperor, King Meng Tian conferred Liu Qingshuang, previously the Miss Liu who had been saved in the Mountain Stronghold, as the Empress, and what made everyone turn green with envy was that the Western Palace Mistress was Liu Qingshuang's younger sister, the thirteen-year-old girl from that year. After five years, she had become a matured beauty of stunning grace and fragrance. Yet, she only loved heroes, particularly the Fiery Young Master who saved her during her most critical moment.
In The Great Tang, Meng Yu got married and then had children. He once told Bai Qianqian that in these dangerous times, it was appropriate for the royal family to have many blessings through many children, and once Meng Yu achieved Foundation Establishment, he would leave this Minor World. After the Spiritual Qi Tide receded, this Minor World would still be a First-Grade world.
The cooperative efforts of the Liu Qingshuang sisters were very beneficial for stabilizing the world, and Bai Qianqian, with ulterior motives, encouraged Meng Yu, saying she wouldn't blame him.
Indeed, Meng Yu knew that although she didn't want to give herself away, she very much wanted Meng Yu to have children so that he would have a family to worry about and would stop taking risks.
Wishful thinking.
...
In the fourth month of the second year of The Great Tang Dynasty, the weather was favorable, and the scholars were overbearing.
"Fellow villagers, it is now The Great Tang, a new emperor has ascended to the throne, a general amnesty has been declared, and taxes have been waived for three years. This is a great act of benevolence, don't you think it benefits everyone?"
The speaker was a seventh-ranked official, Song Kangcheng, who had fled to Qingfeng Gate and became a minor clerk because he could read. But as Qingfeng Gate swept across the land, he rose through the ranks and became the magistrate of a county in the Shu region.
Emperor Tang Meng Yu (although without a posthumous title, he would definitely be called Emperor Tang in the future) had taken over the land too easily, causing the local elites to remain unchecked. Many people were unbowed, always feeling that it had been this way for three hundred years, and now, even with a new emperor, they still needed to govern the land with us.
For example, when Emperor Tang Meng Yu ordered a three-year tax exemption for the whole realm, those below still collected taxes in the name of the Imperial Court, growing even fatter. The people who pasted notices and propagated the message were either co-opted or beaten up. Today, the magistrate gathered the people to speak, and some were sarcastic towards him.
As Song Kangcheng suppressed his rage over and over again, he heard a voice above his head.
"The Emperor is touring, local officials greet His Majesty."
He hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, and then he saw an enormous Flying Dragon Boat— in the Western Wastes, as long as you had Black Iron Gold and Ash Immortal Silver, you could buy a First-Grade Flying Boat of any size. Then, this Flying Boat, decorated with Dragon Rune patterns, became Meng Yu's personal carriage.
The overbearing scholars, along with Song Kangcheng, all boarded the Dragon Boat and saw elite warriors, beautiful maids, stunning concubines, and officials from other regions.
Many things, if not seen, might never be imagined, and being able to observe the vast lands from a thousand meters high in the sky was a rare scene, not to mention the spiritual shock it brought.
Emperor Tang Meng Yu wore a pale-yellow Dragon Robe and smiled as he chatted with everyone, inquiring about the Southeast's state of affairs.
He was so amiable and approachable, but those arrogant scholars were struck dumb.
From the Southeast to the Capital, a journey of thousands of miles, but how many days would it take if one had such a Flying Boat?
King Meng Tian, renowned as unmatched under the heavens, why has he suddenly come here?
Right, the stunningly beautiful maid who welcomed everyone aboard just now, she's the famous Female Swordsman from the Southeast, the Jade Sword Fairy, who defeated countless heroes and now stood by respectfully. How did she become one of King Meng Tian's maids?
No need to mention, on the Flying Dragon Boat, there were many famous people whom most had only heard of.
The landscape was picturesque, yet it lay beneath the feet of Emperor Tang!
Emperor Tang Meng Yu chatted with everyone, and then the Flying Dragon Boat began to slowly descend.
Up ahead was the Azure Wave River, one of the three great water systems of the world, akin to the Yangtze River in the Azure Star. There lay a splendid and grand temple.
Those below who saw the Flying Dragon Boat pointed and marveled in astonishment, and at this time, a grand voice spread from the boat.
"By the mandate of Heaven, the emperor decrees, today there is..."
From three hundred meters above the ground, Meng Yu took a leap downward.
He drew his sword, and in the magnificent and majestic temple, all the statues turned to dust.
The onlookers around, each filled with fear, watched Meng Yu, and even some thought to pick up weapons in resistance, but then they heard Meng Yu's voice.
"The so-called Water God is nothing but stubborn stone and timber. Your worship of it is but a waste of money and labor. Today I, your emperor, will rid you of this thing. From now on, you shall worship the true deity, Taiyi."
Taiyi, the god of the sun, was the objective of this mountain and temple demolishing—to prepare for Meng Yu's Foundation Establishment. Soon, someone will come here, lay down an Array Plate, and rearrange everything anew.
In the distance was the vast and boundless great river, where several black rocks, as large as small mountains, stood tall, parting the raging waves like the fangs of a wild beast.
For thousands of years, countless sailors met their doom here.
So, what has the Water God of Great Wu done for these people?
Simply watch as the great rocks continued to wreak havoc?
Meng Yu walked on the waves and stood upon the heart of the river on a rock that resembled a gigantic turtle. Then, with a single strike of his sword,
The calamity that plagued the people for thousands of years, the turtle-like Demon Turtle Reef, which caused countless deaths, was reduced to nothing. Then, landing on another rock, he struck again with his sword!
The people on the shore, who had been distressed by the destruction of the Water God Temple, now let out a cheer that shook heaven and earth.
A sword can slay a person, but it can also save a person!
Then, the emperor asked Song Kangcheng if there were any villains in the area.
Yes, it's him, and him, and him, and him, and him!
Having followed Meng Yu for several years, Song Kangcheng knew that this man would kill without batting an eye, and he was also not afraid to confront issues head-on.
"Then execute them," he said.
The few men pointed out by Song Kangcheng were seized, their pressure points sealed, and Song Kangcheng led them away to be beheaded in front of the Government Office to establish authority.
As for the question of whether anyone dared to break into the jail, or to challenge the county magistrate?
A sword can save a person, but it can also slay a person!
The Flying Boat continued on its way.
Three days later, hovering above a dense forest, Meng Yu dropped straight down from the sky, listening to the wind's whisper, and then slaughtered a group of Demon Gate experts to near extinction.
Any force that didn't surrender to the New Dynasty before reaching the Capital was on a path to death!
Any arrogant prodigy, witch, or Holy Maiden had to submit under the banner of The Great Tang Dynasty first!
Going forward, as the journey continued, the beastmen on the frontier would face their most terrifying nightmare. With a single sword stroke capable of breaking through an army, sweeping all who opposed aside, a wide expanse of land was cleansed in the cleanest of cuts!
In the first year of The Great Tang Dynasty, Meng Yu ascended to the throne. In the second year, riding the Flying Boat, he inspected the Nine Provinces, suppressed all dissent, shattered rocks, vanquished demons, exterminated beastmen, and pacified the regions, his illustrious name spreading far and wide.
