“The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King sure knows how to create trouble. He’s actually made so many enemies.” Jian Chen shook his head speechlessly before turning to Bai Yurou. “Bai Yurou, you have so grievances with the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King. Now that he’s serving , what are your thoughts?”
Bai Yurou’s gaze beca slightly mixed in response. She bowed slightly. “The difference in strength between and the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King is overly large. I’ve yet to consider the matter of revenge.”
Jian Chen said in thought, “However, as long as I’m around, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King won’t be able to harm you. But I will be leaving so day. Once I’m gone, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King probably won’t spare you without holding him back. As a result, you need to focus on increasing your strength during this period.”
“Your grievances with Ceremonial Bell can only be resolved through your own efforts!”
“I’m already filled with gratitude over how senior protected the White Emperor’s faction. I would never ask for anything more than that!” Bai Yurou imdiately cupped her fist.
“Yeah.” Jian Chen nodded and said in thought, “But you don’t have to worry too much. When the ti cos, you can just join Jade Heaven. With your talent, that’s obviously nothing difficult.”
Afterwards, Jian Chen discussed so details with Jian Feng and Li Jiangshan. Only several hours later did he leave the Sword Emperor’s estate with Xia Jianming and Bai Yurou, returning to the Xia rchant Union’s courtyard.
At the sa ti, Jian Feng handed over all of the tax revenue Sword Emperor city had gathered over the past few years, becoming the first emperor to pay his dues out of the nine emperors.
The tax revenue of an imperial city obviously included the governnt inco from all of the towns and villages. It was an extrely trendous sum.
After Sword Emperor city, the eight other imperial cities handed over their tax revenue and various other sources of inco and wealth very soon, such that Jian Chen gathered a trendous amount of wealth in a short amount of ti.
This could be described as an astronomical sum in the Wood Spirits World, enough to leave countless people green with envy. However, it was nothing to Jian Chen, as he had seen his fair share of things before.
Compared to the Tian Yuan clan, the tax revenue of the Peace region was insignificant.
However, it happened to serve a great purpose for him right now.
Afterwards, Jian Chen handed all of the revenue to Xia Jianming so that he could manage it. He simply tossed all of his affairs to the people around him.
Three days later, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King who patrolled the Peace region returned to Jian Chen’s side and handed over several dozen Space Rings. He said politely, “Sir, there are six imperial cities that have tried to conceal so of their revenue. I’ve chased it all down now. Please check through them!”
Jian Chen scanned through them with the senses of his soul. There was another great sum in the several dozen Space Rings.
“Are you sure this is tax revenue they tried to hide and that you didn’t forcefully take it from others?” Jian Chen furrowed his brows. There was a sizable amount of wealth in the Space Rings, equivalent to a third of everything the nine imperial cities had handed over earlier.
“I would never!” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s expression changed as he imdiately swore, “Please do not worry, sir. I followed your instructions strictly. I definitely did not overstep any boundaries. I would never overstep any boundaries!”
“Alright.” Only then did Jian Chen’s expression soften. “Severely punish everyone who concealed their tax revenue. Let this be a warning to the entire Peace region. However, do not harm any of their lives.”
“Yes, sir!” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King took his leave.
“Master, now that you’re a ruler, you should have a divine palace of your own. Only that would match your esteed status. It doesn’t seem particularly appropriate for you to remain in Sword Emperor city.” Xia Jianming ntioned this proactively after the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King had left.
“Yeah, fair enough. I’ll leave this to you.” Jian Chen agreed after a mont of hesitation.
Afterwards, Xia Jianming personally tended to this matter, gathering several tens of thousand cultivators across the Peace region to construct a glorious divine palace in the centre of the Peace region.
The divine palace was nad the Divine Palace of Peace. It was the residence specially prepared for the Peace Ruler.
With the completion of the divine palace, Jian Chen formally moved in as the lord of the Peace region, while Bai Yurou and Xia Jianming moved in with him.
Even the clansn from the White Emperor clan all moved into the Divine Palace of Peace under Jian Chen’s suggestion.
anwhile, Jian Chen beca known as the Peace Ruler!
The mont the Divine Palace of Peace was constructed, the nine imperial cities all sent so of their Godkings to the Divine Palace of Peace to form a special division of royal guards belonging to the ruler, protecting the prestige and dignity of the Divine Palace of Peace.
On this day, a group of over a hundred Godkings led by two Primordial realm experts flew out of the Divine Palace of Peace in a glorious fashion. They surrounded a luxurious carriage, rushing into the air mightily and making their way towards the Jade Centre Domain.
“It is the royal guards from the Divine Palace of Peace. T-the ruler is setting out. The Peace Ruler has set out.”
“Quick, move aside. This is the ruler’s carriage.”
“When the Peace Ruler passes by, land on the ground imdiately. Don’t fly in the air.”
“Greetings, Peace Ruler.”
The Peace Ruler setting out imdiately led to quite a disturbance. Wherever the carriage passed by, the cultivators in the air all landed on the ground and bowed politely towards the carriage.
“The Peace Ruler? Why does this title sound strange?” Jian Chen could not help but rub his nose awkwardly and smile wryly when he heard how the Wood Spirits referred to him.
He was the only one in the carriage. Xia Jianming and Bai Yurou stood beside the carriage like guards.
“Though, travelling like this sure is troubleso. It’s much slower.” Jian Chen shook his head helplessly. According to what he originally suggested, he could go wherever he wanted with the Laws of Space. It was convenient and fast.
However, Xia Jianming felt like he was supposed to do sothing special, as the Peace Ruler was formally visiting the Jade Heaven Domain, which was why he arranged all this.
The carriage glided through the air and reached the border between the Peace region and the Jade Heaven Domain very soon. 4887
“Greetings, Peace Ruler!”
Respectful voices imdiately rang out from below. Experts from the Peace region were stationed here to maintain the pass, collecting fees from all the cultivators that entered the Peace region.
Now, the Peace region had beco a place of transit between the three domains. If people from the three domains wanted to move between them, they had to pass through the Peace region. Just the fees that they collected daily led to a trendous amount of inco.
Of course, they had only begun collecting fees like this after Jian Chen beca the lord of the Peace region. No one had been bold enough to do sothing like that during the age of the nine imperial cities.
The carriage passed through and directly entered the territory of the Jade Heaven Domain before venturing deeper and arriving at the Divine Palace of Jade Centre very soon.
The Jade Heaven Ruler personally received them, welcoming Jian Chen to the Divine Palace of Jade Centre with the greatest courtesy possible by extending a rainbow bridge condensed from energy.
“Jade Heaven, I’ll cut right to the chase. I’ve co to visit because I want your help with sothing.” Jian Chen sat in a wheelchair and allowed Bai Yurou to push him along in the Divine Palace of Jade Centre.
The Jade Heaven Ruler wore a green dress. She was slender and had extraordinary charms. “Please speak freely, Peace Ruler. I’ll definitely help you if it’s within my ability.”
“I require Lifesoul Flowers, so I hope you can gather all the Lifesoul Flowers in the Jade Heaven Domain for ,” said Jian Chen. Even though he had obtained a large number of Lifesoul Flowers from the Jade Centre Domain and Grand Heaven Domain in exchange for holding off the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King in the past, they were not all the Lifesoul Flowers from the two domains.
“All of them?” The Jade Heaven Ruler narrowed her eyes slightly.
“That’s right!”
“Alright, no problem. I will give you all the Lifesoul Flowers in my Jade Centre Domain.” The Jade Heaven Ruler agreed in an extrely straightforward manner. She did not ask for the reason, directly agreeing to his request.
“Besides that, I require so inner cores of sacred beasts too, hopefully at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Pri,” Jian Chen continued.
“We happened to have hunted a large number of sacred beasts out at sea a while ago. My Jade Centre Domain has so of the inner cores you require, so you can take all of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Pri inner cores,” the Jade Heaven Ruler said without hesitation.
Jian Chen was left rather surprised by how easily the Jade Heaven Ruler had agreed to all of his requests. This ti, he had brought a large number of resources with him because he was prepared to exchange for them.
But he had never thought that the Jade Heaven Ruler would not even have any interest in discussing the price with him, giving them for free without even batting an eye. It would even be everything she possessed too, without any hesitation.
