Everything Has an End, Everything Has a Beginning (XI)...

In an instant, his mind cleared, and Qingye stood up. He no longer wanted to discuss doctrines with the king, and laughed as he left.

He raised his hand to summon the flying boat and said to his companions, "Let's go home!"

Although the companions from Aoki Village didn't know what had happened, they boarded the ship immediately after Aono explained.

Seeing this, not only them, but also the palace servants asked to board the ship.

Su'e had reserved a VIP seat long ago, and the other palace maids were not to be outdone.

The royal palace must be considered a very good place, the most prosperous place in the world.

Even though ordinary palace servants had to work hard day and night to serve nobles and strictly follow etiquette, they were still able to live comfortably.

But they always fondly remember the days when they used to go boating and fishing in their hometown, picking mulberry leaves and singing.

When the opportunity presented itself, they barely hesitated, throwing down what they were holding and scrambling to get onto the boat.

People at this time were not so obedient and were less likely to be threatened with the death penalty.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that the ruler at this time did not yet have the ability to easily threaten a person's entire family.

Not only is the liberation of the oppressed a matter of considering productivity, but also the need for severe laws and punishments.

Even the most sophisticated methods of governing the people require the support of productive forces; the first step is to punish the entire clan, which the population cannot withstand at that point.

Therefore, they completely fail to understand that they always put ideological change after productivity, and that they always want to improve productivity first before considering what people who want to change the system want to do.

The system understands the 1/9 principle: when productivity is low, even if it's 1/9, the absolute difference is not large.

When productivity expands to tens of billions, wouldn't the absolute difference be even more incredible? Productivity doesn't discriminate; both the good and the bad increase together.

Why should someone who doesn't produce any results worry about productivity?

Fortunately, although human productivity was relatively primitive at this time, the mind still remained flexible.

When these palace maids first entered the palace, the king led a large army and captured them one by one from their homes. They had no choice; they were outnumbered and outmatched. It wasn't that they were particularly righteous or that they wanted to enter the palace to enjoy a life of luxury.

If we couldn't resist before, so be it; but now that we have a chance to run, we'll run immediately.

The king of Chu was happily seeking immortality, but he never expected this to happen. Enraged, he ordered his guards to fire arrows from behind and prevent anyone from leaving!

But how could ordinary arrows harm immortals? Qingye deliberately let the bluebird circle over the capital, bringing more people onto the ship.

After this round trip, nearly three hundred people were picked up. The palace maids who boarded the ship were extremely shocked to see the spaceship set sail from the sea of ​​clouds. They had never seen such a magnificent sight in their lives!

The palace servants included not only common women recruited from various regions, but also concubines who had accompanied princesses and noblewomen from other countries on their marriages.

Locals still want to go home, but people from other countries don't want to go back at all.

For those who want to go home, Aono can ask about accommodations and then take them directly on his spaceship to drop them off.

As the enormous spaceship landed, the locals were all shocked, prostrating themselves in awe and exclaiming that it was a divine being.

Everyone says that returning home in glory is the ultimate honor, but nothing is more impressive than this. The palace maid who disembarked was so happy she almost lost her teeth, thanking Lord Qingxian for bringing her back!

She was so polite, and Qingye was very generous, handing her a talisman and wishing her a good life here in the future.

The woman returned home, found her family, and knelt down with them in worship, her excitement overflowing.

Aono bid farewell to the woman who stayed in the village, and the spaceship took off, heading towards its next destination.

After seeing off those who wished to return home, Aono and the others also went home, enjoying the long-awaited happiness of reuniting with their families. This was also the reason why the palace maid wanted to go home.

No one springs from a rock. Many people have elderly mothers in their eighties and young children to care for. After losing themselves, their families lose a strong laborer, leaving the elderly and weak to fend for themselves.

Even when they are away from home, they worry about their families. This is a natural emotion that cannot be severed. The palace maids want to go home to reunite with their families, and the children of Qingmu Village also want to go home to reunite with their families.

Those who remained in the village never imagined that these youngsters would go out and do such a big thing. They were filled with lingering fear. The elderly in the village still had a natural fear of the king.

However, no one can enter the village now, and they are not from the Chu Kingdom. The Chu Kingdom's king's prestige cannot reach here. We only need to settle the newcomers.

The village accountants planned out the approximate amount of grain the newcomers would need to consume, the amount of grain needed to cultivate new fields, and the amount of grain they would need to use in the first year, after which the newcomers would be able to support themselves.

A comfortable population size is essential; too many or too few are not ideal. Aoki Village actually has a relatively small population, so it welcomes newcomers.

The villagers had already learned how to set up farmland formations and could do it themselves, but after looking around, they couldn't see the sage and were still puzzled: where was the sage?

When asked by the villagers, Qingye, who had been organizing the new couples to settle down, paused for a moment and said, "My master is in another place. I will go there in a few days."

The villagers were very surprised, especially Ji Tao: "You're leaving again?"

Aono has been away from home for many years and has missed her hometown for a long time, but she will still leave.

After spending a warm time with his family, Qingye set sail again, found Ye Xiqing, and said with bright eyes, "Master, I want to establish a country, I want to spread my teachings throughout the world, is that alright?"

Ye Xiqing closed the book. By the time Qingye and the others left, Ye Xiqing had already taken good care of the new village.

Hearing Qingye ask this, Ye Xiqing looked up and said, "Of course."

In fact, she had wanted to do this for a long time.

However, by the time it reached the first person, it had become too tired to pass on the message.

...

Three hundred palace servants fled from the Crown Prince's palace. The Crown Prince was furious and wanted to ask a deity to bring people to subdue the demoness, but his royal advisor dared not make a move.

That day, the extraordinary phenomenon was witnessed by everyone in the capital. Ordinary people didn't know what it meant, but cultivators knew it was a symbol of entering the immortal realm.

Once you enter the immortal sect, you are already worlds apart from ordinary cultivators, not to mention the wealth and talent that person displayed, which clearly indicates that he did not come from an ordinary sect.

Rather than attacking her, it's better to advise the king to be more tolerant and realistic. The king flew into a rage: "So we're just going to let it go like this?"

Imperial Advisor: ...

What else can we do if we don't count?

It's only three hundred people; we can find more. But if we anger the immortals, the consequences will likely be far more severe.

The king of Chu was furious, but there was nothing he could do, as immortals were beings on a higher level than him.

However, he wanted to swallow his anger, but Qingye didn't seem to have any intention of backing down. Upon returning, she immediately established the Qingmu Kingdom, determined to dominate the world!

There has never been a precedent of immortals establishing a kingdom in the mortal realm. Even if immortals have some shortcomings, they are only a little indifferent and would not compete with mortals for land, as that would be too unrefined.

But Qingye wasn't a proper immortal, so she didn't care about style or anything like that. She just knew that she didn't like the conventional wisdom.

How can something that's obviously wrong be described in such a grand and dignified way? If you know the right path is there, why not do it?

She doesn't care about any nonsense about what immortals shouldn't do. If she wants to do something and she has the ability to do it, why shouldn't she do it?

She will set things right and bring true truth to the world.

A new world begins with her!

In the world of cultivation, the productivity difference between immortals and mortals leads to national wars. What does that resemble?

Scald the ant nest with boiling water.

Leaving aside whether mortal armies would have the strength to resist immortals given the absolute power difference, mortal armies simply wouldn't resist.

An army is made up of people, not machines; it is afraid of dying.

The reason they bravely charged forward was because retreating would mean execution; the reason they would rather die than surrender was because surrendering would mean being killed.

At any time, everyone cherishes their life. It's one thing to fight one's own kind, but to fight gods is insane.

Wherever the Green Wood Army went, all the cities surrendered without a fight. In just a few days, they reached the capital of the Chu Kingdom, leaving the Chu Kingdom's king dumbfounded.

Aono laughed and kicked him aside, taking his place in the king's seat.

Your virtuous rule cannot compare to mine; I will implement my own virtuous policies.

I'm going to do something groundbreaking: let everyone cultivate immortality!

Regardless of whether Qingye adheres to the path of benevolence or tyranny, when she proposed that everyone should cultivate immortality, no one would oppose her. Those who oppose her are no longer considered human.

Throughout history, the highest praise for emperors has been that of benevolent rulers. But she is different; she is the supreme holy ruler!

In the newly rising Aoki Kingdom, Aono promoted the laws and knowledge of Aoki Village, which spread rapidly like a virus.

At first, the cultivation sects didn't take her matter to heart, even though cultivators ruling over the mortal world was quite unrefined.

But playing around on a whim is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as it doesn't go too far and harm living beings.

Cultivators possess absolute power, and naturally have absolute freedom; rules cannot truly constrain them.

But when Qingye decided to have everyone cultivate immortality, things got a little out of hand.

As before, no one paid attention when she was conquering cities and territories in the mortal realm, but after she ordered everyone to cultivate immortality, the celestial forces that wanted to hold her accountable came instantly.

Qingye narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the group of immortals in the sky. This was the day she had been waiting for. All along, her opponents had never been in the mortal realm.

The first to be held accountable was the Jiexian Sect. The Jiexian Sect had an outer disciple serving as the national teacher in the Chu Kingdom, so naturally they had countless connections with the Chu Kingdom.

Qingye looked at the Jiexian Sect members who were about to spout nonsense as usual, picked his ear and said: "Isn't your goal to deal with me? Why are you making up so many excuses? If you want to fight, then fight. You can't beat me, so you expect me to listen to you!"

The people of the Jiexian Sect also had tempers. Upon hearing this, they were furious, and one of their inner disciples immediately accepted the challenge.

This was Aono's first time fighting a real immortal, but she felt no fear, only excitement. She also wanted to see the power of an immortal!

The people of the Jiexian Sect didn't take her seriously at first. No matter how high her aptitude was, she was just a newly entered immortal, so how much skill could she possibly have?

However, when the storm of sword light enveloped them, the newcomer realized something was wrong. In just a few exchanges, Qingye slashed his sword and severed the arm holding the sword.

The other disciples were shocked to see this and rushed to help. Qingye fought against the disciples of the Immortal Sect alone and did not lose any advantage. On the contrary, he was aroused to be ferocious.

The elder leading the group was very surprised. Seeing this, he knew that his disciples might not be able to defeat the enemy, so he immediately used his magic weapon to try to end the farce in one fell swoop.

However, just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly became unable to move. Before he could react, he was struck in the chest with an unimaginable force. The Jiexian Sect elder's true energy instantly dissipated, and he coughed up blood and fell to the ground.

The disciples of the Jiexian Sect, who were fighting Qingye, were shocked to see this and immediately stopped fighting to help the elder up.

The elder stared ahead in horror. To become an elder, one's cultivation level must be quite high. Who could have severely injured him without even seeing his face?

After casually delivering this strike, the person in the shadows still didn't appear; only a leisurely voice could be heard—

"We must not bully the weak or oppress the small; this is the rule of righteous war that I set."

"Of course you are free to disobey; I will not require anyone to comply."

"But the moment you break the rules, I will break the rules too."
