Chapter 321: The Great Tang Nation 1
In the meantime, several changes were also currently happening all around the Ancestral Armament World; the Western Continent, the Central Continent, and lastly, the most backward water among them, the Eastern Continent.
Every sect and clan that were 8-tier and above were preparing for the upcoming World Martial Meet. Various sects and clans among them also boosted up in power in these two or three short years, as numerous martial geniuses kept popping up recently just like overgrowing of mushrooms. This also meant one more important thing: more wars.
The shifting of powers among various clans, sects, and nations also kept going on and on, unlike anything that had ever happened before. Many powerhouses of yesteryears also became the candle in the wind that had already been dimmed and would be soon forgotten by everyone still living.
Everywhere it was chaos and wars. Among the three continents, the wars hit the Eastern continent the most, as various higher-tier powerhouses appeared one by one. But there was a region on the easternmost side of the Eastern continent that remained the most tranquil and serene in the whole map of the Ancestral Armament World. It was the Great Tang Nation. So almost all the refugees from all over those places severely hit by the wars moved toward the Great Tang Nation with high hope.
Unlike other places, the Tang Nation warmly welcomed all the refugees to their territories. And gradually, the numbers kept increasing day by day. But still, under the wise administration and rock-solid strategies of Prime minister Li Lin, the Tang Nation didn't find anything hard to accept those incoming refugees, as food and medicinal needs were never the issues.
Instead, under his wise decision, those refugees were all given the right to become citizens of the Great Tang Nation. And he recruited various jobs for them, ranging from the military to the peasant. So the economy and the army of the nation were instead kept increasing sharply with respect to the amount of the immigration of the refugees.
The Tang Palace, which was the home of the Tang clan, lay inside the capital city, the Canon City. Today's Cannon city was livelier and more prosperous than some few years ago. It would leave even Joey astounded seeing the recent development of such a rich nation from the previous potato nation.
Currently, a hunched-back old lady was walking toward the innermost court of the Tang Palace. She had a walking stick in her hand and a strange-looking hairpin with the shape of a phoenix that bounded her silver locks. She stopped just before the door of a simple-looking house. "Greeting Patriarch Tang, I'm here to pay a visit." the old woman said politely while bowing slightly.
"Senior Ju, don't be so courteous. Please, enter." the old Tang responded from inside the room.
Granny Ju walked into the room and cupped her hands toward Old Tang, who was currently sitting on a cultivation mat. He made a hand gesture toward a nearby cultivating mat and said, "Have a seat."
Granny Ju sat over a nearby cultivation mat and looked at the old man.
"Senior Ju, what brings you here?" Old Tang asked without beating on the bush.
"Sire, we receive news of young master Tang Xuangzong from our spies in the Central Continent. And I'm here to pass the report to you. " Granny Ju replied.
Old Tang almost sprung up from his seat with excitement and asked, "Oh, the news of the 5th prince. Then it must be something good, right? Alright, please continue."
"Yeah, everything is good." Granny Ju responded with an elated smile and further continued, reporting the news, "Actually, this news had already become not exclusive anymore. Almost everyone in the Central Continent had already learned about the good name of our 5th prince and almost everyone there loved his good deeds. He had become a hero to them. "
"What did he do to get that much attention from others?" Old Tang asked, curiosity was all over his face.
"Young master must have done those things out of his simple whim, I wonder. " Granny Ju continued, "A few years ago, he single-handedly exterminated a notorious Tier-9 sect called Ten Thousand Poison Sect. No, from another source I learned 5th prince wiped out the whole territory of the Sect removing from the map of the forbidden ground, the Hundred Valleys of Poison."
"Single-handedly wiped out a tier-9 sect!" Old Tang burst into laughter and said, "Aha ha ha… As expected of the 5th prince, I'm not surprised at all." But his current expression was not exactly like what he said.
"Senior Ju, with my current strength. Can I wipe out a tier-9 sect as the 5th prince did? " He asked.
Granny Ju kept pondering for a while and was about to open her mouth. But the overly excited old Tang breezed in. "Please be honest. I don't care whether my grandson has already overpowered my strength at all," he spoke in his mile-a-minute voice.
"Alright, then I will be honest with you. From our intel, we learned that the strongest man of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, Yuwen Tai, was in the lvl 7 of the Divine Realm at the time Joey fought him. With the current strength of Patriarch, I can judge that you can kill more than 50 of Yuwen Tai with your just using only one simplest skill of yours. So it will be an easy-peasy for a patriarch to wipe out a sect with 50 times as strong as that tier-9 sect."
"Oh, I'm that much strong now!" Old Tang exclaimed with her explanation.
"Yes, don't be surprised. From the spar a year ago with you and me, I can absolutely say that even those family heads of the Six Super Clan that are currently self-proclaimed as the powerhouses of this world would suffer a humiliating defeat in your hand.. This is in addition to you still not releasing all the strength-suppressing seals that Senior One-legged Zhang hailed on you. " Granny Ju smiled and began praising him heartily, "Congratulation, Patriarch Tang, you are now the strongest man in this world!"
