I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 489 - : 489. Two minds with but a single thought.

Chapter 489: 489. Two minds with but a single thought.

Tens of thousands of people from the Jingjin area came to greet them, eager to catch a glimpse of the Fairy Boat, creating a bustling scene reminiscent of roaring seas and mountains of cheering.

Not only did high-ranking officials like Zhang Wenda attend, but even Left Minister also made an appearance.

Lu Yao hurriedly stepped forward and said, “How could we impose on you to come out and welcome us personally?”

“Well done! You’ve united Divine Land with such a minimal cost.”

An infrequent smile appeared on Left Minister’s solemn face. He had expected a significant fight, a chaos prevailing for a year or even longer.

Yet, with the momentum of a thunderbolt, Lu Yao quickly took control of the situation, establishing his rule without even the need for a proper civil war, far exceeding expectations.

...

Lu Yao humbly said, “It’s all thanks to everyone’s joint efforts. Now we need to properly govern the nation, with hopes of a revival.”

The smile on Left Minister’s face grew even brighter, his whole demeanor relaxing substantially, evidently full of confidence in the young man before him.

At this moment, Zhang Wenda, who had been waiting for a while, found the right moment to interject:

“Great Lord, regarding the name of the New Dynasty and the establishment of a national bank, we’ve already come up with some preliminary…”

“Hold on, Grand Scholar Zhang,” Lu Yao interrupted with a smile. “Matters of the state should be reported to His Majesty.”

A twitch appeared at the corner of Zhang Wenda’s eye. He had thought this one would act as an “emperor in retirement”, with that woman merely a puppet, but it seemed not to be the case.

Little did he know, Lu Yao simply found it troublesome; he now had to squeeze time even for his sex life, let alone play the game of power.

Zhang Wenda gave a bow and excused himself, then turned to confer with Li Pei.

During the half-month that Lu Yao and his family were away, a group of scholars argued and finally settled on a name for the New Dynasty.

After deliberating the past and considering the present, it made most sense to base the name on His Majesty’s earliest fief.

Li Pei’s family domain was in Jizhou Yixian, thus the New Dynasty was named “Yi”, forming the Great Yi Empire.

To this, Li Pei had no objections.

After that, Zhang Wenda presented a report on “establishing a national bank, official system reform,” and a series of other matters.

His points were well-organized and coherent, causing Li Pei to nod in agreement repeatedly.

This man was not only a Great Grandmaster of Martial Arts but also a Grand Scholar, truly accomplished in both civil and military affairs, a rare talent indeed.

Having witnessed Lu Yao’s methods one after another, he wisely quelled all his ulterior motives, deciding to work hard in the New Dynasty and strive for a lasting legacy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the New Dynasty established and the political transition underway, Li Pei found himself immersed in endless tasks, once again plunging into a state of intense and laborious work.

Lu Yao likewise had no shortage of matters to tend to.

First up were the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

The three little creatures were immensely useful, serving not only as extremely fast modes of transportation but also possessing terrifying combat power.

Moreover, they were very human-animated, making optimal decisions in battle without the need for commands, a true comfort to their owners.

They had now become the darlings of everyone at home, who would unfailingly use their precious True Qi daily to assist their cultivation.

At this moment, Lu Yao conducted Inner Vision on the Spiritual Sparrowhawks and felt a mix of happiness and worry.

What pleased him was that through continuous battle, the Spiritual Sparrowhawks had received ample training, their Demon Cores growing stronger, ensuring a smooth road ahead for their development;

What worried him was that external help would be insignificant from this point on.

The bodies of the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks had reached their limits, the next realm being “Transformative Form”.

This step did not require resources; even the most robust Monster Beast body was of no use, relying on the unseen, intangible “Spiritual”.

Such a profoundly mysterious concept was the most challenging to grasp, with an average of only one out of every ten thousand Monster Beasts and Spirit Pets able to Transform, highlighting the difficulty.

Fortunately, thanks to resources from Wudang and the Joyful Sect, he had access to ancient scriptures and could refer to the experiences of predecessors.

In addressing this hurdle, countless sages agreed on one approach—letting Spirit Pets interact more with human society to open their “Spirit Wisdom”!

Humans are the spirit of all living things, and human society is full of oddities and wonders.

Even humans themselves benefit in their soul’s growth from society’s harsh baptism, not to mention Spirit Pets.

In ancient times, wild Monster Beasts would deliberately interact with humans during their transformation, attempting to think like humans, all in order to develop their “Spirit Wisdom”.

Once “Spirit Wisdom” was awakened, the difficulty of “Transformative Form” would drastically reduce.

Lu Yao scratched the necks of the three little creatures and said with a smile, “Looks like I’ll have to take you back to Blue Star for visits more often~”

The three Spiritual Sparrowhawks tilted their heads to look at their master and, astonishingly, nodded in unison.

Lu Yao was taken aback, “Can you understand what I’m saying?”

They nodded again…

Lu Yao was overjoyed beyond expectation, which meant that the three little creatures had extremely high talents!

“Spiritual intelligence” and “IQ” depend entirely on one’s innate abilities—the higher the starting point, the greater the achievements.

With a face full of joy, Lu Yao eagerly asked, “When can you understand human speech?”

This question was a bit complex, and the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks, tilting their heads, couldn’t understand it.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Lu Yao’s smile did not diminish, being able to do so much was already excellent, and he couldn’t ask for more.

After all, no one had taught them, and they had completely self-taught themselves to their current level.

~~~~~~~~~~

Next, Lu Yao enthusiastically began to teach the Spiritual Sparrowhawks the human language.

He was so excited that he spoke in a jumbled manner, and the sparrows also learned in a somewhat approximate way.

The personalities of the three little guys were fully revealed.

Ping An was always looking at his master with seriousness, focused even if he didn’t understand;

Ji Xiang was already bored but pretended to be serious, sneaking away when the master wasn’t looking either by scratching his belly with his beak or the roots of his wings;

As for Ru Yi, he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep…

Fortunately, the arrival of Yu Yanmei provided them with a reprieve.

This ethereally beautiful woman, upon seeing the scene, puzzledly asked, “What are you doing?”

“Teaching them to talk… After all, they haven’t taken on their Transformative Forms yet, so my teaching method isn’t correct.”

Lu Yao scratched his head, then waved to the Spiritual Sparrowhawks, “Alright, go play for now, I’ll hold formal classes once I’ve gotten some teaching materials.”

The three playful Spiritual Sparrowhawks quickly flapped their wings to flee.

Yu Yanmei watched as they flew away, with a hint of emotion, she said, “When I first met you, I thought keeping three Spirit Birds was a waste, but now it seems like an utterly correct decision.”

“It’s fate, the investment is indeed quite large, but it’s all worth it.”

After spending a long time together, Lu Yao had come to see the Spiritual Sparrowhawks as family, else he wouldn’t have invested such a great amount of emotion in them.

Yu Yanmei, carrying a faint fragrance, leaned in closer, placing her hand on Lu Yao’s chest, saying:

“Let me see how your cultivation is coming along… Hmm~ the progress is rapid, with over 500 Aperture Points refined, soon you will reach the Jin Wulou Realm.”

With his beautiful master around, Lu Yao started talking about his cultivation plans:

“After reaching the Jin Wulou Realm, I want to use the robust physique of the ‘Flesh Realm’ to nourish and enhance my Divine Soul!

By doing so, the strength of my Divine Soul would almost reach the standards of ‘Ascending.’ After undergoing ‘Lightning Hearing,’ I can cross the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“Nourishing the Divine Soul with the flesh…” Yu Yanmei, after hearing his plan, looked slightly amused, “Lu Xiaozi… it seems we’ve had the same idea.”

The nourishment of the Divine Soul by the flesh, in turn, can nurture the flesh body.

Yu Yanmei shared her own cultivation plan, “I’m going the opposite way from you, I want to first refine my spirit using ‘Fetal Breath’ to gain the ability of Inner Vision.”

Lu Yao immediately understood her plan and took up the conversation, “Combining the Flesh Realm with Inner Vision is ‘Crafting the Subtle and Mysterious.’ You’ll be able to see the most intricate parts of your body… are you planning to advance to the Golden Body Realm using this method?”

Yu Yanmei nodded, “That’s exactly it.”

Martial Path and Spirit Refinement have always complemented each other, and their plans were in perfect alignment.

Lu Yao said teasingly, “We really do have a connection with just a hint of spiritual affinity~”

Yu Yanmei’s face turned red, she didn’t respond to his teasing and instead shifted the topic:

“When you advance to the Jin Wulou Realm, don’t rely on forcefully breaking through because of your strong Spirit Refining Stage. Make sure to let me be by your side to watch over you. Remember, better safe than sorry!”

The affection of the Moon Fairy was evident in her words, Lu Yao sobered up and nodded seriously, “Don’t worry, I understand.”

With everything going smoothly on Lu Yao’s side, Yu Yanmei had no more doubts. Just as she was about to retract her hand from his chest, he firmly grasped it.

Lu Yao held her pale, jade-like delicate hand, with a mischievous tone, he said:

“I will be leaving for a few days, before I go, could I trouble Grandmaster Yu to guide me on how to cleanse the deepest Aperture Points in the body~”

Yu Yanmei turned her face away, not looking at him, but she did not pull her hand back.

Sometimes, a woman’s lack of objection is consent.

Lu Yao carried her in his arms and swiftly moved back to the room with a few leaps.

At that moment, this pure and stunningly beautiful fairy knew what was about to happen, her cheeks flushed as she closed her eyes.
