Chapter 029- Feng Hengkong

"So, What do you think of what I just said right now?" Ling Yun asked Ling wan.

Ling Wan contemplated it for a bit and said, "This idea is very wonderful. But I think we can add one more hall here. It would be exclusive for the elders. We can simply call it 'Elders Hall'."

"Then do as you say." Ling Yun and Ling Wan then discussed the establishments in details. After an hour or so, the discussion finally finished and Ling Wan left from the office.

.....

Frozen Cloud Asgard-

Main Hall-

After Ling Yun left from there, one of the seven fairies there looked at Gong Yuxian and questioned, "Grand Palce mistress, Why did you agree to join 'Imperial Cultivation Center'. You could have chosen the first option or even the last option. We aren't afraid of death."

Gong Yuxian sighed and replied, "You guys might not know but our ancestor left us with a prophecy. She said that after thousand year, our sect will be struck with a calamity. If we manage to safely pass through it, we will be able to flourish for the next ten thousands years."

"We are living in the thousandth year period. So, the calamity in the prophecy should be referring to the rise of Ling Yun. If I didn't choose the second option, we would most likely be destroyed right now."

"Now even though we will be losing the sect in name but all of us will still be alive. If Ling Yun does treat us well, it would not be a problem for us to prosper for next ten thousands years."

"I know some of you are still not satisfied with my decision and I am deeply sorry for that." Gong Yuxian bowed as she apologized from the bottom of her heart.

.....

One year passed by slowly. In this time period, Ling Yun managed to firmly implement his rule in the whole empire.

His new castle was finished building last month and he already moved there along with his family and close subordinates. This castle is named 'Immortal Palace' by Ling Yun.

As for the old castle, it has already been turned into a part of 'Imperial Cultivation Center'. The name of the castle has also been changed into 'Elders Hall'.

Surrounding it, there can be seen four other castles that has been constructed recently. They are the other four halls of the 'Imperial Cultivation Center'.

A months ago, the cultivation Center already started operating and it has also started to accept new disciples as well.

.....

Ling Yun has turned 17 this year. Since, the empire is fully under his control now, he decided to marry this year before starting any expedition toward other kingdoms.

He has already announced it to the public and date has been decided to 1 month from now on. He will be marrying not one but 3 wives at the same time.

The wives are Cang Yue, Feng Huang and Chu Yuechen. The marriage ceremony will last for 3 days. First day, he will marry Feng Huang. Then the 2nd day, he will marry Chu Yuechen and the last day, he will be marrying Cang Yue.

As for the Xia Qingyue that is on his marriage list as well, She will have to wait for a few years until she turns 16.

Talking about Xia Qingyue, she has been managing her works really well. In the past months, she has been able to capture many spies hidden inside the empire.

Even though there are still some spies left, they have now became trapped and couldn't send a single message out. Every time they tried, they were quickly found and killed by her.

Besides her success as a chief of 'Shadow', she hasn't neglected her other duties either.

11 months ago, she came to Ling Yun and learned all the knowledge that he has regarding business. After thorough study of the market in the profound sky continent, she created a merchant guild called 'Peerless Merchant Guild'.

She already knew the power of the 'Black moon Merchant Guild.' Since they have been in the market for way longer that her, she didn't foolishly try to challenge them head on.

Instead, she decided to start Peerless Merchant Guild's journey with the products that are only available in Nirvik Empire. After some research, she found out that, things like formation, high quality armors and weapons are scarce and very pricey for a large number of cultivators.

But in Nirvik Empire, those can be created easily with the help of blacksmiths and formation masters that Ling Yun trained. Even if she increase the original price by 10 times, it would still be considered cheap in the eyes of others.

So, after creating the branches of the merchant guild in all of the major cities in this continent, she started to trade various attack and defence formations along with high quality weapons and armors. As for the price, she increased it by 10-20 times.

Even then, the products became really popular in the whole continent in no time. There were some fools that tried to attack the merchant guild after hearing it's success but it was quickly solved Xia Qingyue.

With the amount of income generated by this merchant guild per day, it would only take few years to rival the sacred ground in wealth.

.....

Divine Phoenix Empire-

Throne Room-

Emperor Feng Hengkong also known as DIvinie Phoenix sect leader is now sitting in his throne while listening to his subordinate's report.

After he listened to the full report, his face became slightly gloomy. He looked at his subordinate and said angrily, "It has been almost a year and you are saying you still can't give me any information of the Nirvik Empire or that bitch."

Almost a year ago, the change of the ruler in Blue Wind Empire reached his ears but he didn't paid it that much attention. After all, the Blue wind empire is like an ant in his eyes.

But that changed when he found out that a newly created merchant guild that originated from that empire and started to sell some rare and expensive things in quite a cheap price.

When he first found out this, he sent out some of his tyrant profound realm elders to take control of this merchant guild.

The elders didn't disappoint him either as they managed to take control some of the branches very quickly. But suddenly a women with the strength of sovereign profound realm appeared in front them and directly killed them.

Not only that, she directly entered the Divine Phoenix Imperial Palace and threatened him not to eye the Peerless Merchant Guild.

Feng Hengkong only possesses the power of 10th level of Tyrant Profound Realm. Even though the women that attacked him is stronger than him now, he swore to take revenge after reaching Sovereign Profound Realm.

That's why, he asked his subordinates to collect as much as information they could get of this women and the newly created 'Nirvik Empire'.

But the thing that angered him the most is that these useless subordinates didn't even manage to give him a single intelligence about that women or the 'Nirvik Empire'.

"I will give you one more month. If you can't give any information, then there is no need to keep your useless self alive. Now dissapper from my sight before I kill you right now." Feng Hengkong roared while barely resisting himself from killing the subordinate present in front of him.

[AN: Someone left a 1 star review saying that he/she didn't like the fact I am modernizing the empire.

I want to hear all of you guys opinion? Should I modernize it or not?

of course, I would never modernize the political or other sectors that are useless and would bring more problem for mc.

I only plans to modernize the military and communication sector for now. So what are your thoughts on this?]
