Rumors spread throughout the land every day. Taking the li (a unit of distance) as a unit, the land measured by the constellation Xin Su is more than ten thousand li. According to the annual statistics of the Xin Su Ministry of Revenue, the population of Xin Su has exceeded seven hundred million, which can be described as a magnificent sight.
"Husband, this is an updated news report from the Minsheng Daily."
Mu Qingluo presented a jade slip to Dao Chengyi, and then used a stick to feed him a piece of tea cake, showing their deep affection.
"Is there anything I should be careful about inside?"
Minsheng Daily was established half a year ago and is the result of the reformists in Beijing. It uses an unknown Gu worm to establish a humanitarian network that can transmit information in batches across distances. Then, it cooperates with Caifenglou to create a platform to collect, organize and display regional events, focusing on the local area and including major events from other regions.
However, it has not become widespread and is currently only circulating among regional powers. The Caifeng Tower and the government each charge their own fees. A group of pedantic people do not understand the necessity of progress.
"The recent major event was in Dayi County, Yuqing Prefecture, where Qi Hai Wuliang fought against the Potian Sword Sect and the Five Phases Dao Palace's sword-making master, Yin Kuihou. The battle caused the collapse of hundreds of miles of mountains. In the end, the three of them went into the mountains together, and then the three forces announced an alliance."
"Then an unnamed swordsman came from Jiezhou. He was dressed in a green robe and followed by Beishan Hu, who ranked tenth and twenty-third on the Tai Shi Ranking, and Wugu Lunhui Mo. Wherever he went, that area became... a sea of filth and rampant plague."
"In Pengzhou, the three forces of Wangyou Peak, Shanhaihui, and Huangquan Temple are vying for something called Wuxiang Chan, which is said to be able to make people transform into formless beings and be free from all constraints."
At the same time, a disease called amnesia is spreading, causing those afflicted to forget parts of their memories. The divination efforts of the Zhitian Sect have yielded no results.
"Of course, what my husband is most interested in is the last one, the Yuan Gu Notes."
This world is nothing but a land of conflict, and the essence of all this fighting is utterly boring. As for grand and righteous matters such as intrigue and power struggles, monster attacks, rebellions in the North Plains that have been quelled only to be followed by raids, and the emergence of demons in the Western Desert, Dao Chengyi simply took them into his mind as inspiration for certain events.
Let's also see what kind of trouble those little seeds he released have caused. Old Rat Seven, who specializes in taking unorthodox methods, is still as amazing as ever, and Wei Shitong is starting to stir up trouble as well.
When the last article, written by Miao Renhan, a renowned Gu worm researcher from Tianhan in Louzhou, was finally read, the tranquility of the past three years was finally partially revealed.
"Gathered from the essence of heaven and earth, it is inherently mysterious, like the sound of the Great Dao, beyond the comprehension of ordinary principles. How great is the Qian Yuan! Martial arts may be about to enter a new era..."
After the first Yuanquan was born, starting with Qingmang, Gu worms could spontaneously emerge. As the Blood Wings scattered, Dao Chengyi condensed his Soul-Slaying Avatar, and many Fourth and Third Transformations appeared.
Finally, someone in the southern border region noticed that this Gu Dao Gu worm was different from previous Gu worms. It was distinct from flesh and blood and contained the mysteries of all things.
As the immortal echoes reverberate, and the path of Gu officially comes into contact with the path of the dead gods, beginning to erode and occupy it, the number of Gu worms will only increase.
Similarly, Dao Chengyi will become increasingly invincible. As the ancestor of Gu Dao, his vital energy will only have an output limit. As long as this body and soul can withstand it, it can be described as inexhaustible.
The inexhaustible primordial energy means that the Gu Cauldron can produce more and more Gu worms and Gu insects, and through these Gu insects, it can control all things in the world, life and death, destiny, and even creation and destruction.
The future is so promising... but I fear that the gods are fishing for his life.
“These Gu worms are common in the Qingmang region. If the news of the Jade Cicada with Many Children is leaked, I'm afraid that Magistrate Qin will guess that it's on Woniu Mountain.”
Mu Qingluo is intelligent. Over the years, she has managed the Mu family business group in an orderly manner, uniting the backyard. In addition, she has cooperated with Dao Chengyi to manage the Mu family's iron and steel business. Even the people from the Mighty Bull Demon Sect cannot interfere with her in the slightest.
Therefore, when she saw this news, she was worried that the magistrate from the Qin family of Jiangning in Langzhou might take drastic action.
"So what if I know? I can surpass others by thirty, forty, or even a hundred years of martial arts training in just one year. Now, after three years of refining Gu, even if I create something out of nothing, I am still the ancestor of a Dao."
“My wife, please rest assured. At this moment, the only person I can rival is Marquis Wu. I acknowledge that the county magistrate is the right one. If I don’t, who among the people of Qingmang and the families of this city will listen to him?”
Dao Chengyi held Mu Qingluo's hand to comfort her, his words still as confident and cheerful as ever, just as they were in the past during the martial arts battle.
“It is good that my husband is so confident, but it is always good to have fewer enemies. Once the flesh and blood of that half-step Martial King is taken away, our Qingmang lineage can finally let loose.”
Mu Qingluo naturally believed in her husband, whether it was because of the miraculous Gu worms, or because the Mu family had hundreds of martial artists and more than two thousand warriors, and other forces that were comparable to local strongholds.
Even if they were to confront the Mighty Bull Demon Sect, which commands two prefectures, they could still stand head-on. If they waited a few more years, the Mu family of Louzhou would be able to rise to prominence and enter the court's business.
Mu Qingluo had already thought it through. She would have a child after Dao Muqing grew a little older. When Dao Muqing entered the court as an official, her child would manage the Mu family on behalf of her and Dao Chengyi, regardless of gender.
"My wife doesn't trust me anymore. What is Louzhou? Once the situation is right, I'm confident I can take over the entire Xinsu."
"What dynasty in this world can enjoy the mandate of heaven forever? Even the era of demons and gods did not see it. If Emperor Zhao could ascend to the throne, why can't I? At that time, you will be the most honored woman in the world, second only to the emperor and above all others."
