After an incense stick has burned.
Li Jing slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise in his heart.
His cultivation level officially reached the demigod realm, reaching the peak of the ninth level of the demigod realm.
During his three-month seclusion, he refined a large number of divine crystals and pills, and his cultivation level reached the peak of the seventh level of the Celestial Realm.
Now, thanks to the power of luck, his cultivation level has skyrocketed to the peak of the ninth level of the demigod realm.
Moreover, he has only absorbed a portion of the power of creation. A large amount of the power of creation is still hidden in his body. As long as he slowly absorbs the remaining power of creation, he will at least be able to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Void God Realm, and may even be able to cross the Void God Realm and reach the True God Realm!
In reality, the main reason is that the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Scripture that Li Jing cultivates is too powerful. If it were an ordinary immortal-grade martial art, or even a saint-grade martial art, his cultivation level would probably have already skyrocketed to the peak of the ninth level of the Void God Realm.
Because the Heavenly Emperor's Holy Scripture is so powerful, the amount of spiritual energy required for each minor realm is more than ten times that of a Saint-grade martial art!
This resulted in Li Jing's cultivation level being only at the peak of the ninth level of the demigod realm.
Even at the peak of the ninth level of the demigod realm, he could still easily crush a god realm cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of the illusory god realm!
It wasn't even a peak ninth level of the demigod realm crushing a peak ninth level of the illusory god realm; it was enough to fight against a god realm cultivator above the seventh level of the true god realm!
This is Li Jing's current strength.
After assessing his own strength and gaining sufficient confidence, Li Jing looked at the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty.
The Grand Secretary Yan Changqing's cultivation level has reached the sixth level of the Demigod Realm, the Minister of Personnel Zhong Shenxiu's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of the Demigod Realm, the Minister of Rites Tantai Qiuwu's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of the Demigod Realm, the Minister of Revenue Mu Yunfei's cultivation level has reached the fourth level of the Demigod Realm, the Minister of War Dongfang Ming's cultivation level has reached the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, the Minister of Works Tie Ao's cultivation level has reached the fourth level of the Demigod Realm, the Minister of Justice Di Yi Wanxi's cultivation level has reached the sixth level of the Demigod Realm, and the Right Vice Minister of Personnel Ying Qingyue's cultivation level has reached the seventh level of the Demigod Realm, the cultivation level of the Demigod Realm.
The Imperial Guard General Beigong Wudi's cultivation level has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Demigod Realm.
Guo Jingfei, commander of the Tian Shu Legion, has reached the Lesser Completion of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm; Chu Batian, commander of the Tian Xuan Legion, has reached the Greater Completion of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm; Zhou Li, commander of the Tian Quan Legion, has reached the Lesser Completion of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm; Gongsun Wangshu, commander of the Yu Heng Legion, has reached the Greater Completion of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm; Huangfu Yunhai, commander of the Kai Yang Legion, has reached the Lesser Completion of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm; and Zhao Lingjun, commander of the Yao Guang Legion, has reached the Peak of the Fifth Level of the Demigod Realm.
Bai Yujing, the commander of the Dongming Legion, has reached the fourth level of the demigod realm, while Luo Shenxiao, the commander of the Yinyuan Legion, has also reached the fourth level of the demigod realm.
The Grand Astrologer of the Celestial Patrol, Nangong Qingyue, has reached the fifth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved mastery. The Palace Master of the Imperial Palace, Nangong Yijian, has reached the sixth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved peak cultivation. The Director of the Imperial Observatory, Lü Chunyang, has reached the sixth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved peak cultivation. The Director of the Imperial Pharmacy, Gu Qingshan, has reached the fifth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved mastery. The Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud, Hu Qizheng, has reached the fourth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved minor mastery. The Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, Yu Changqing, has reached the fourth level of the Demigod Realm and achieved minor mastery. The Prefect of the Capital, Gu Zhiyun, has reached the ninth level of the Celestial Realm and achieved peak cultivation. The Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, Yu Shixiong, has reached the ninth level of the Celestial Realm and achieved peak cultivation.
This is the cultivation level of the most important ministers in the current Primordial Dynasty.
The reason they were all able to reach this level was because when a large number of cultivators at the Cave Heaven Realm level emerged among the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty, Li Jing had already supplemented his subsequent martial arts with a part that could be cultivated to the True God Realm.
Li Jing hasn't revealed the parts above the True God Realm yet. He'll only reveal the later parts once all the civil and military officials of the Primordial Dynasty have reached the Void God Realm, which is above the Demigod Realm.
The only ones who were slightly lacking were the Minister of War Dongfang Ming, the Prefect of the Capital Gu Zhiyun, and the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies Yu Shixiong, none of whom had even reached the demigod realm.
Li Jing would pay attention to Gu Zhiyun, the Prefect of Jingzhao, naturally because in the Taichu Dynasty, the Prefect of Jingzhao was one of the Nine Ministers.
The best one is naturally Ying Qingyue, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who came from behind and reached the seventh level of the demigod realm.
Besides Zhao Lingjun, the three others—Lu Chunyang, the Director of the Imperial Observatory; Beigong Wudi, the Grand General of the Imperial Guard; and Zhao Lingjun, the Commander of the Yaoguang Legion—were also extremely extraordinary.
Besides the important officials of the Taichu Dynasty, such as the Six Ministries Vice Ministers and Physicians, most of them had also reached the Celestial Realm or even the first level of the Demigod Realm.
Then, Li Jing turned his attention to the royal family of the Taichu Dynasty.
The Taichu Dynasty evolved from the mortal Yan Kingdom to its present state, and since the Yan Kingdom has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is impossible for it not to have a royal family.
However, the status of the royal family in the Yan state was always very low. Members of the royal family were not allowed to hold power, serve as officials in the court, or enter the army.
Even during the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, none of them tried to win over the imperial family, nor did any of them pay any attention to it.
Members of the imperial clan were not even qualified to be enfeoffed as kings; the highest they could be enfeoffed as dukes, and even then, their titles would be constantly stripped away, as they were not hereditary dukes.
Moreover, it was a title without a fief.
The noble titles in the Yan state never granted fiefdoms; the nobility only enjoyed the support of the Yan state.
"That's interesting."
Li Jing glanced at the imperial clan, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"
Grand Secretary Yan Changqing, along with all the civil and military officials, expressed their utmost respect and gratitude to Li Jing.
