The great battle with the Devil's Hall ended, and the countries finally returned to temporary peace.

When the Lieyang Empire gave back the new princes' orders, Chu Chennan directly established the country and founded the Chu State, and the capital was in the original Huoyun King Capital, renamed Fengyun City.

This time, at the founding ceremony, hundreds of surrounding vassal states all sent envoys, and they all presented valuable congratulatory gifts to show friendship.

The countries are so attentive, but also to curry favor with Chu Chennan, hoping that his next expansion will not be too ruthless.

However, they were obviously disappointed, because Chu Chennan didn't give anyone face at all.

Not long after the end of the founding ceremony, the Great Chu army waved its troops in all directions and began a huge war of expansion.

In the war with the Powerful Ghost Palace, the countries have already suffered heavy losses, and there is not much national strength left, how can they stop the Great Chu Army now?

As a result, the expansion of the Great Chu Army was very smooth, and only a few months later, the territory of the Chu State was directly expanded tenfold.

Such a huge territorial area is actually almost equivalent to an ordinary high-class vassal state, and in the Canglan realm, it is second only to the overlord Canglan State.

For such a thing, Lin Yuan, the lord of Canglan Country, was naturally furious.

It is rumored that in the palace, Lin Yuan didn't know how many teacups he had broken these days, and he also threatened to send troops to exterminate the Chu State.

But this kind of talk, he is just talking.

After all, in the battle with the Powerful Ghost Palace, Chu Chennan's strength was already in front of him, and even the Canglan State was not absolutely sure that it would be able to completely exterminate the Chu State.

So even if Lin Yuan was angry, he could only hold back and be helpless.

......

Chu State, Fengyun City.

In the palace, Chu Chennan opened the place of spiritual rest and walked in.

At this time, Yuwen Piaoxu, Shao Qingyuan, and Linglong had just finished their cultivation, and when they saw him come in, they all stood up.

"Young Master, are you here?"

Linglong's face was full of joy, and she jumped over and wrapped her arms around Chu Chennan.

"Well, how is it, has your cultivation been going well these days?"

Chu Chennan asked with a smile.

"Of course it's smooth, everyone has now reached the realm of the Destiny Palace, but it's still not as powerful as Madame and Sister Qingyuan, Sister Qingyuan has now reached the ninth level of the Bitter Sea Realm, and Madame has even broken through to the Soul Refining Realm. ”

Linglong said obediently.

Chu Chennan nodded secretly, not surprised by this.

After all, this spiritual resting place is the most suitable for cultivating the "Five Elements Spiritual Cultivation Technique", and it is not unusual for Linglong to improve quickly.

As for Shao Qingyuan and Yuwen Piaoxu, they both have the Honghuang Gong method he taught, and it is also normal for their strength to improve by leaps and bounds.

"Nan'er, I heard that you have been cultivating all this time, and you have rarely managed state affairs?"

Yuwen Piaoxu inserted his waist and said: "It's not for my mother to say you, you are also the king of a country, how can you ignore the government and leave everything to the minister, in case someone plots against you, aren't you wasting all your efforts?"

Yuwen Piaoxu didn't know the real relationship between those ministers in the court and Chu Chennan, so he said this.

In fact, all the key positions in the imperial court, Chu Chennan handed over to those, and the famous Chinese generals who were summoned, so there was no need to worry about someone plotting rebellion.

What's more, to be honest, a small vassal state, he doesn't pay much attention to it, what he really cares about is his own cultivation and strength.

After all, this world is different from the earth, and being the king of a country here, no matter how great your achievements are, you will still be trapped in the mortal world, but it is different to become a strong person.

Chu Chennan's goal is to become a real powerhouse, to ascend to the divine realm in the future, and to see the wider world.

"Don't worry, mother, I know what is going on in the court, and there will be no problems, but you should go out for a walk, don't stay in the place of spiritual rest. ”

Chu Chennan said with a smile: "In the way of cultivation, blindly retreating is absolutely not okay, you should go out to experience and practice, and temper your state of mind in order to have higher achievements, especially you, Qingyuan." ”

He looked at Chu Chennan: "My mother's cultivation is the "Nine Xuan War God Strategy", this kind of exercise focuses on battlefield experience, my mother has led soldiers to fight over the years, to be honest, the state of mind is actually enough, but you are different." ”

"You practice the "Great Compassion and Freedom of the World", this kind of exercise focuses on experiencing the world, punishing evil and doing good, although you have rich experience since childhood, and you know the warmth and coldness of the world, but after all, it is a little deviated, so next, you have to go out and walk more, and do more good deeds. ”

"Okay, I understand, I must do more good deeds in the future!"

Shao Qingyuan nodded seriously.

"Nan'er, talk to Qingyuan gently, don't be so hard, otherwise my mother won't let you go!"

Yuwen Piaoxu snorted and said.

Am I hard-spoken?

Chu Chennan was speechless, is this really his mother, why did he turn his elbow out?

"Okay, don't talk about those useless ones, hurry up and let us out, my mother wants to go with Qingyuan and Linglong, take a good look at this Fengyun City, and see how you govern this?"

Yuwen Piaoxu grabbed Shao Qingyuan and Linglong, and left directly from the exit.

In the distance, I can still hear her muttering: "You two too, don't be too polite to this kid in the future, men must not get used to it, otherwise it will be themselves who will suffer, by the way, I am going to discuss with those ministers and choose a concubine for this kid, what do you two think?"

Choosing a concubine?

Chu Chennan's face was weird, no wonder Yuwen Piaoxu turned his elbow outward, it turned out that he had made up his mind to let the two daughters be his daughters-in-law?

He shook his head and walked out as well.

After returning to the dormitory, he cultivated again, preparing to let his cultivation break through to the Bitter Sea Realm Sevenfold in one fell swoop.

The sixfold cultivation in the first six layers of the Bitter Sea Realm is the tempering of the physical body, including the first-fold washing of the scriptures and the marrow, and the four-fold Golden Dragon Transformation Bridge, which leads to the bitter sea and the Zhenming Spring.

And from the sevenfold onwards, the goal of cultivation will shift from the physical body to the mind.

The specific method is to gradually trigger the three thoughts of greed, hatred, and ignorance, that is, the three negative root natures of human beings, and overcome them one by one.

For example, once greed is stimulated, the martial artist's cultivation will break through to the sevenfold, and at this time, the heart will be full of greed, and even form inner demons.

At this time, the cultivation is not stable, and it will go mad at any time, and the cultivation will be completely wasted, and the life may be lost at the worst.

Therefore, martial artists must try their best to suppress and overcome greed, so that they can truly stabilize their cultivation and then lay the foundation for breaking through to the next level.

And so on, to stimulate hatred to break through the eightfold, and to stimulate obsession to break through the ninefold.

And when the cultivation reaches the ninefold level of the Bitter Sea Realm, the martial artist needs to gradually integrate the four extreme chakras into the physical body, and once successful, he can step into the Bitter Sea Soul Cultivation Realm, which is often referred to as the king of martial arts.

As the name suggests, the bitter sea nourishes the soul, which is to use the bitter sea to nourish the soul.

It is precisely because he has begun to contact the soul power that when the martial arts king fights, he can use some secret techniques.

However, at this time, the secret art must correspond to its own attributes, such as the fire attribute physique, you can only use the fire attribute secret art, and the water attribute physique corresponds to the water attribute secret art.

If you use it incorrectly, you may be attacked and it is very dangerous.
