No one expected that the Great Qian Empire would actually take action against a local power like the He Family.
That day.
On the execution platform, He Liwu kept muttering to himself.
"My father is the head of the He Family! My father is the head of the He Family! You can't kill me..."
However, he didn't notice that the head of the He Family was right next to him.
His already aged face was almost completely bloodless, and he looked dejected and lost. Countless people below the platform threw things at him, but they didn't throw eggs or rotten vegetables.
That's too extravagant.
They just took cow dung, horse manure, and other filthy things.
Some people even filled wooden buckets to the brim in the latrine, then ran to the platform and poured the contents onto the head of the He Family's head.
"What are you doing? Who let you go on stage?"
A man from the Ministry of Justice immediately shouted, "Disturbing public order! Take him away, issue a warning, and have him write a 300-word self-criticism!"
What, you can't write?
"Then recite 'I will never disturb the peace again' one hundred times, right here, loudly."
The offender looked embarrassed and could only read it aloud, but it elicited a burst of laughter from below.
Many people have indeed discovered that the officials of the Great Qian Empire seem to be truly different.
This kind of thing doesn't only happen in Yunliu City. Due to the change of power, many people haven't had time to adapt, and there are still many people who break the law and commit crimes.
Every day, blood flowed like a river on the Execution Platform.
However, after a while, people realized that the Great Qian Empire seemed to be truly different, and such incidents began to gradually decrease.
The expansion of the Great Qian Empire continued, and it soon expanded to ten cities. If Li Shishan had not been concerned about the instability of the empire due to rapid expansion, it certainly would have expanded much faster than this.
Five years.
The territory of the Great Qian Empire doubled again, and Li Shishan became the strongest cultivator below the Saint level in the Dao Entry Realm.
Over the years, the Ministry of Justice has been continuously improving the laws. Despite the fact that everyone in this peaceful and prosperous empire has not experienced a decline in the number of cultivators due to a lack of awareness of crisis, or that their strength is inferior to those who have been tempered by bloodshed.
Instead.
In this environment, the empire's overall strength did not decline but increased, and it became increasingly prosperous. Heavenly Prodigy were constantly being discovered and emerged within the empire, and the originally fierce competition for resources between sects became extremely strange.
According to the Great Qian Law, anyone who injures or kills someone without cause will be imprisoned. Several Elder of sects have been arrested for instigating such incidents, and even a sect leader has been arrested.
However, Arena Platform matches are not under their jurisdiction.
Later, whenever they encountered rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the wild, they would immediately set up Arena Platform and begin a competition, with the last one standing being the winner.
Of course, rules cannot be applied to every place, and there are many who slip through the net, such as the followers of the Demonic Cult. Although they have been targeted severely, they still exist in the Great Qian Empire, and these Demonic Cult have also committed many murders.
But ordinary people at least got a chance to survive.
No cultivator dared to attack them casually, especially in the cities under the jurisdiction of the Great Qian Empire, where it was relatively rare for someone to kill an ordinary person.
The Ministry of Revenue listed taxes at the top of the list, with taxes levied on every industry, and tax evasion was still punished, even in brothels.
The strict rules of the Great Qian Empire directly weakened the original criminal forces by 80%.
But darkness will always be there; it can never be completely eradicated. The Imperial Family the Great Qian Empire can only serve as a lamp, illuminating the empire's territory.
Inspired by the Great Qian Empire, several powerful Righteous Path sects followed suit and began to study how to train Disciple.
They used to be raised in a semi-free-range manner.
Now they've started researching how to improve their Disciple's combat abilities and other aspects, just like Su Chen's Nine-Year Compulsory Education, and the results are excellent.
This led to the emergence of many dark horse Disciple within their sect.
The strength of the entire Great Qian Empire is growing at an astonishing rate.
Su Chen calmly observed all of this from the Imperial Palace of the Nine Stars Empire. The Li Family seemed to have returned to normalcy, and if things continued this way, it wouldn't be long before they could completely unify the entire Xuanhuang Realm.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed.
While in seclusion, Li Shishan suddenly sensed a strange movement in the heavens and earth. The Imperial Seal, which he had placed beside him as an ornament, suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, as if something was trying to emerge from it.
What's this!
A rich power of the Heavenly Dao condensed within the Imperial Seal, eventually outlining a series of Rule that were yet to be finalized.
Li Shishan's face immediately showed shock. He quickly stood up and knelt down facing the sky:
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
He knew from that familiar aura that it was his Ancestor making a move.
He sensed a rich Rule Power within the Imperial Seal. This Rule Power was bound to their Great Qian Empire; the stronger the empire, the stronger its Rule; the weaker the empire, the weaker its Rule.
At the same time.
These Rule correspond to the Dharma Form of the Great Qian Empire. In other words, as time goes by, the Rule that are not yet finalized in the Imperial Seal will gradually become the laws of their Great Qian Empire.
Later on, as long as you are within the Great Qian Empire, any violation of the law will be punished according to the Rule.
They directly eliminated the last remaining survivors.
Actually, Su Chen didn't plan to do this at first, but after seeing that the Great Qian Empire was living in peace and contentment without its strength weakening, he realized that in both the Cultivation World and the mortal world, it seemed that only a peaceful and prosperous country could become stronger.
The Law of the Jungle is merely a helpless measure, a forced adaptation to this world.
But that doesn't mean it's a good thing.
For example, in the current Great Qian Empire, there has emerged a group of people who specialize in studying combat experience, the differences between each realm, and how to maximize their strength.
Previously, no one had studied this because life was constantly in a state of insecurity.
Everyone is focused on improving their skills; there's no time for such trivial matters.
But now that there is no danger, many schools of thought have naturally emerged.
In comparison, the difference lies in whether a genius becomes even stronger or a mediocre talent becomes even more capable.
Certainly.
Class distinctions and disparities still exist; for example, the resources and Cultivation Method of major sects still far exceed those of ordinary forces.
This is unavoidable.
Wherever there are people, there are social classes and hierarchical distinctions.
After doing all this, Su Chen was completely at ease with the Great Qian Empire. With Rule in place, the Future Great Qian Empire wouldn't descend into chaos no matter how badly things got.
"However... things have been a bit unusual lately."
Su Chen looked into the distance. Recently, he had sensed that the aura of Immortal Venerable Venerables was frequently erupting from the Demon Domain, as if it were about to stir up trouble.
Could it be that they're about to attack Central Continent?
