TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1167: Chapter 469 Shenwu Era Chapter 1167: Chapter 469 Shenwu Era Time flies, in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

Great Chu, Guangling Prefecture, Jiangdu.

In a tea house within the city, a group of weary peddlers and porters crowded around a small stall, drinking the coarse bitter tea, all looking towards the man at the center.

Clad in a patched blue-cloth garment and sporting a goat beard on his chin, the Storyteller took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then slapped down on the table, “Yesterday, I left off mentioning how, in the forty-fourth year of Shenwu, the Emperor led his host of Primordial Divine Generals and Daoist Immortals to launch the fourth Northern Expedition to subjugate the Heroes of Yuzhou.

Indeed, the Emperor truly lived up to his name of Shenwu.

Facing him, the Heroes of Yuzhou crumbled like petals in the wind, and within merely three to four months, they were chased out of Yuzhou.

They didn’t even last half a year before they were completely obliterated by the might of Great Chu’s celestial army.

And that Pretender Emperor of Xu, thinking he had reached safety upon his escape back to Liang State,

But the Emperor’s stratagems were divine and foresighted.

He had already anticipated the opponent’s thinking, so after capturing more than a million Xu soldiers at Beigu City, he immediately went in tireless pursuit to the north.

As an Immortal walking the earth, the Emperor naturally possessed Immortal Techniques.

During his pursuit, he cast a cloaking spell on the entire army, obscuring the forms of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Even under the broad daylight, ordinary people could not make out the army’s presence.

Thus, the Emperor led his celestial troops right on the heels of the Pretender Emperor of Xu, catching them completely unawares as they descended upon Five Goat City.

The Pretender Emperor of Xu had unwittingly led the way, presenting his capital city on a silver platter.

There’s also an interesting tale about this.

It’s said that after leading the celestial troops of Great Chu into the city, the Pretender Emperor of Xu didn’t realize the Emperor himself was following right behind.

So he went to his harem, and in frightened desperation, sought to favor his beloved Concubine Zhen, hoping for some relief from the terror in his heart.

But amid their passionate embrace, the troops of Great Chu stormed the palace and burst into his bedchamber.

Frightened out of his wits by this, the Pretender Emperor of Xu died right atop Concubine Zhen, succumbing to sheer fright.

Tsk tsk, to die atop warm fragrant jade, his end was rather nicer than that of other pretenders from various countries,”

At this point, the Storyteller exclaimed with a tsk tsk.

The rough men nearby caught on and burst into laughter, enlivening the atmosphere at once.

They exchanged banter, each adding a sentence, beginning to imagine the scene for themselves.

Everyone thought they were correct, narrating with such certainty as if they had witnessed it firsthand, nearly coming to blows over the dispute.

Noticing the atmosphere turning sour, the owner of the tea stall quickly signaled the Storyteller he had hired, gesturing for him to defuse the situation.

After all, if his stall was wrecked, he would have to pay dearly.

Faced with the demands of his financier, the Storyteller dared not neglect them and, as the argument showed no signs of subsiding, he slapped the table again, saying, “Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm yourselves.

The Concubine Zhen of the Pretender Emperor of Xu is but one beauty from Liang State.

In the vast world, there lie the Nine Provinces; and beyond the Nine Provinces, there are the Ten Domains.

Though the lands of the Ten Domains no longer exist,

The people of those domains have already moved to the lands of Great Chu.

With the combined peoples of the Nine Provinces and the Ten Domains here, what beauty cannot be found?

Hold off, and listen to how, after the Emperor unified the world, he went about subduing the various nations and tribes, bringing all under the sway of the Nine Provinces.

And in the process, he discovered the beauties from all the states and domains, which were taken by the Divine Generals of Great Chu and presented to the Emperor.”

Indeed, compared to squabbling, it’s the story that’s more enticing.

Watching the Storyteller continue with the tales of Great Chu’s unification of the realm, the crowd immediately ceased their disputes and quieted down to listen.

Seeing that the crowd was no longer noisy, the Storyteller let out a sigh of relief, then slapped the table and said, “But let’s talk of the Emperor who, after conquering Xu, returned to Great Liang in triumph.

For the next half a year or so, he remained in Great Liang, attending to the critical state affairs, governing the world.

How astute and heroic was the Emperor?

Under his rule, although it had not been even a year, the people of the recently conquered territories of Yuzhou had already settled down to peaceful lives, free from the turmoils of war.

The land of Central State had returned to Chu.

The earth was serene, and a peaceful and prosperous age had begun to unfold.

Yet, who would have thought, at such a time, the Island Barbarians and Forest Barbarians of the south still knew not peace.

Instead of living quietly, they invaded Great Chu’s Yangzhou day after day, plundering and killing the frontier people.

By the summer of the forty-fifth year of Shenwu, such behavior had reached its peak.

The regions south of the four prefectures of Jian’an County, South Sea Prefecture, Qianzhong County, and Xichuan Prefecture, including the prefectures themselves, were occupied by those barbarians.

The edge of the barbarian blade even appeared within Dongting Prefecture.

Dongting Prefecture, as everyone knows,

was the former center of the Imperial Capital, the location of the old capital Baling.

Just like our Jiangdu, if Jiangdu had barbarians nearby, wouldn’t the impact be significant?

So, upon hearing the news, the Emperor flew into a towering rage, immediately mobilizing generals, dispatching an army of three hundred thousand, with sixty Divine Generals and True Persons.

He appointed True Person Huang Xuan as the supreme commander, heading south to subdue the Forest and Island Barbarians…”

This Storyteller, having first outlined the cause of the conflict, then added his own interpretation based on the news he had heard,

began to vividly and animatedly describe to the crowd the various exploits of True Person Huang Xuan leading the army against the southern barbarians.

These exploits inevitably included the vicious tactics of the barbarians from the south, their witchcraft, and poison arts,

and how True Person Huang Xuan cast Immortal Techniques, the army’s Divine Generals ingeniously overcame the enemy, and the soldiers of Great Chu showed their indomitable courage.
