Moreover, now he could barely support himself in the secular world, and due to the presence of the Upper Green Sect in the market, the exchanges with the Immortal Cultivation Market had been temporarily suspended.
Anyway, it was just a hundred years, and he could wait.
Emperor Wu’s 50th year, Emperor Wu abdicated, and Xuanzong ascended the throne.
In the Imperial Palace Temple, Xuanzong, under Emperor Wu’s introduction, met Liang Sheng, the “Ancestor of the Zhou Family,” for the first time.
It was only then that Xuanzong realized why Great Zhou could dominate the four seas and remain undefeated. After all, with such an ancestor, Great Zhou was as stable as Mount Tai.
However, Xuanzong didn’t become arrogant and forget his roots due to this. Liang Sheng couldn’t help but sigh again, wondering why the descendants of the Zhou Family had such excellent bloodlines.
Like Emperor Wu before him, Xuanzong also received a gift—a bottle of Barrier Breaking Pills and an additional semi-magical longsword.
The Barrier Breaking Pills were actually a low-grade version of Qi Refining Pills, which Liang Sheng could easily make several of at this moment.
As for the Semi-Magical Longsword, it was different from the small sword previously crafted by the Grand Ancestor of Dayan; it did not consume the user’s life but could be activated with internal energy.
Of course, its power was only slightly stronger than innate, without being too terrifying. It was equivalent to the first time Liang Sheng broke through the innate limit and could kill an innate being.
In the twentieth year of Xuanzong’s reign, Emperor Wu passed away. The princes and grandsons of the descendants of the King of Anyang and Prince Wei went to the capital to send Emperor Wu to heaven.
Afterward, the princes and grandsons of the kings of Anyang and Wei’s descendants all returned to the capital. Xuanzong’s legitimate brothers, the Kings of Chu and Wu, were granted fiefs in the territories of the former Western Spring Country and East Sun Country.
This move attracted the attention of most of the world to the capital. They thought that Xuanzong’s big move might cause turmoil in the imperial family, but never expected that it would eventually be handed over peacefully, which made the surrounding small countries even more fearful.
With the unity of the Great Zhou royal family, how could there be a chance for the small countries to rise? From then on, the small countries paid tribute to the Great Zhou more frequently.
What they didn’t understand was that with Liang Sheng present and the Great Zhou imperial family’s bloodline of attracting fortune and avoiding evil, how could the Great Zhou imperial family cause chaos?
In Xuanzong’s 23rd year, Xuanzong suddenly issued a decree to appoint Innate Grandmaster Zhou Bin as Grand General and to conquer the rebellious country of the Later Tang.
This decree had no prior signs. Later, secular rumors said that Xuanzong only wanted to avoid any taboo due to the hierarchy of respect and disrespect and waited three years after the funeral of Emperor Wu to fulfill his ambition.
After all, expanding territory is the greatest temptation for a king.
In fact, Xuanzong didn’t start conquering other countries until so late, first because of the hierarchy of respect and disrespect, and second because of Liang Sheng’s advice.
Liang Sheng didn’t want to make too much of a stir during the time when the Upper Green Sect was stationed in the market, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
But the Great Zhou couldn’t be without progress. After all, they needed to show the Hua Tian Sect the usefulness of the Great Zhou royal family within a hundred years.
That’s why Liang Sheng had this plan now, and the countries Xuanzong was conquering were carefully selected by Liang Sheng personally because there were more Qi Refining Spiritual Grasses.
Liang Sheng hadn’t been idle for the past few decades, sending many people to explore the surrounding countries and had already chosen the order of countries to attack.
By the thirtieth year of Xuanzong’s reign, the Later Tang was destroyed, and the exposed fangs of the Great Zhou made the surrounding small countries even more terrified.
During this time, there were people who wanted to assassinate, but the innate powers of the Great Zhou royal family made it impossible for them to start.
In the fiftieth year of Xuanzong’s rule, Xuanzong abdicated, and Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne.
During Emperor Gaozong’s reign, the development trajectory was almost identical to Xuanzong’s, with the same respect and avoidance of seniority, waiting for three years after Emperor Xuanzong’s death to mourn.
It was only then that Gaozong began to expand and annex territory, reclaiming the land and bringing the bloodlines of King Chu and King Wu back to the capital, with Gaozong’s legitimate brothers being granted fiefs in the two countries.
Like Xuanzong, Gaozong also appointed an innate grandmaster as the Grand General to conquer other countries, and the war was still extremely smooth, with Great Zhou’s territory expanding once again.
Afterward, Great Zhou developed steadily, assimilating the subjects and common people of these conquered countries, and it wasn’t until the fortieth year of Gaozong’s reign that Liang Sheng finally made a new move.
The hundred years of the Upper Green Sect’s occupation of the market was finally over!
