Chapter 1655: Twenty Thousand Years of Wealth in the Pure Yang Swordsman's Flame Sun World Cluster
The aftershocks of this battle first spread through the upper echelons of various Immortal Sects, then gradually reached the middle levels, and eventually echoed throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
Many Immortal Sects had no intention of keeping Pure Yang Sword Child a secret.
For this sinister Sword Cultivator, it was tantamount to a public execution, bringing him many troubles.
When the news of the reappearance of Pure Yang Sword Child spread to the Flame Sun World Cluster, a place that was legally under his personal rule, it immediately triggered significant political upheaval.
Many people were ecstatic.
Many fell into panic, frantically seeking ways to change allegiance.
...
Sun Heavenly Palace.
"Young Master..."
A girl murmured.
A young girl in a white dress, standing at 1.56 meters, still wore her hair in a bun, looking as adorable as when they first met tens of thousands of years ago, unchanged in the slightest.
She dealt with various political affairs of the World Community in the Sun Heavenly Palace, striving to implement the will of Tushan Law throughout this World Community, making it aligned with the will of the Dari Swordsman, and shaping it to fit his needs, whether in systems, culture, customs, or habits.
The Dari Swordsman desires such a World Community, hence it should be thus.
Outside of Tushan Law, she also established an army, internal security forces, set up political agencies, agricultural institutions, research institutions, artifact refining institutions, and more.
Primarily, of course, was the tax institution.
The Dari Swordsman required seventy percent of the tax from the entire World Community.
This is the foundation of Tushan Law, a constitutional-level underlying law, where the Dari Swordsman originally surpassed the entire world's beings in combat power, productivity, and research capability. Such taxation is reasonable and lawful; it is his money, his Spirit Stones, and not a single one should be missing.
Anyone committing tax evasion, even embezzling a single Spirit Stone, must be seriously punished!
This is something every Tushan Political System Maid should inherently know, to remember it instinctively, never to forget.
Because it is the basic survival foundation of these Political System Maids!
And now, what is the current situation of the Flame Sun World Community?
The annual tax revenue obtained by Tushan Central Court is less than thirty percent.
The wealth accumulation speed of the Dari Swordsman has severely declined, reducing the two hundred thousand years accumulated wealth by more than fifty percent.
You must know, this is the savings of the entire World Community over two hundred thousand years!
This wealth could be considered colossal enough to create a Heavenly Man from a qualified Harmonization cultivator, giving him the opportunity of becoming a Heavenly Man.
If used to cultivate Refining Nothingness cultivators, it is more than enough for several dozen to ascend to Harmonization God Monarch.
But now, such an immense, dazzling wealth, even in the Upper Realm, is only half remaining.
Where has the missing half gone?
It has been embezzled.
By whom?
By Taiyin and Taiyang Inheritance Sword practitioners, the Shining God Monarch and the Guang Lan Divine Monarch.
Over these two hundred thousand years, due to the Dari Swordsman's brilliance not truly illuminating this World Community, only leaving behind governing legitimacy and title, without genuine execution of power.
Therefore, like numerous empires with young emperors and powerful ministers, this same scene also played out in the Flame Sun World Community.
Under a myriad of reasonable excuses, the wealth belonging to Pure Yang Sword Child was devoured, embezzled, and the brilliance of Tushan Law also failed to completely illuminate every corner of the Flame Sun World Community, leaving many places with enough leeway for stubborn factions to resist reforms from Tushan Central Court.
These stubborn factions impacted the Immortal Path productivity of the Flame Sun World Community, affecting the Pure Yang Sword Child's wealth accumulation speed.
"Oh Young Master,"
"It seems I can regain some authority now..."
Gong Caiyu murmured to herself.
In this Sun Heavenly Palace, she issued orders to convene a conference of high-level cultivators from the Flame Sun World Cluster.
She gently closed her eyes, calmly waiting.
An hour later, she promptly opened her eyes and looked towards the grand hall in front of her.
Many Harmonization God Monarchs and Refining Void True Venerables stood respectfully, all present, none were late, and no one arrived late or did not attend due to 'enemy situation', 'political affair busyness', 'cultivation breakthrough seclusion' and other extremely important, critical reasons.
In the past two hundred thousand years, this had never happened.
Many people were always busy with what they considered important matters, ignoring her orders.
Some people had good intentions and were political allies.
For instance, the Yang Tie Divine Monarch and other cultivators, who were disciples of the Yang Bone Heavenly Persons, naturally aligned with her faction, assisting her in ruling the vast Flame Sun World Community, almost impossible to betray.
However, the Yang Tie Divine Monarch and others had their own ideas.
They did not consider the opinion of a Refining Nothingness cultivator worth attention, let alone always right, thinking that absolute obedience to her orders was a mistake due to the inevitable drawbacks brought by the limited vision of a low-ranking cultivator.
For the glory of the Pure Yang Sword Child, Yang Tie Divine Monarch and others believed they should correct these mistakes.
As for whether to inform that Refining Nothingness cultivator after making corrections, it depended on their mood at the time, as low-ranking cultivators always found explaining to high-level cultivators too bothersome.
Some cultivators were arrogant and unruly.
Like Mingguang Zi, Lieyang True Venerable, and many Great Sun Sword cultivators, who lacked deep respect for a maid, sufficient in outward courtesy but slack in real execution, often only respecting the unbeatable Harmonization God Monarch, and following their understanding to execute many things.
The last type of cultivator, however, was adversarial.
They came from the Taiyin Lineage, from the hostile faction within the Sun Lineage, under the Sun Inheritance Sword practitioner Shining God Monarch and Guang Lan Divine Monarch.
Their sole loyalty to Pure Yang Sword Child was in name, while all their actions aimed to undermine the Flame Sun World foundation, pocketing it for themselves.
If the above two types of cultivators at least followed some orders from the Sun Heavenly Palace, selectively executing things beneficial to themselves, which they considered correct, the last type of cultivator completely ignored orders from the Sun Heavenly Palace, evading them with various excuses.
These cultivators never participated in any meetings of the Daoist Grand Master of the Sun Heavenly Palace, always having very important matters like life-and-death seclusion.
But today,
They all came, not a single one was missing.
Every cultivator appeared pale, trembling, cold sweat constantly on their forehead, yet they forced themselves to come, looking to curry favor with everyone, with not a trace of past arrogance.
Gong Caiyu looked towards the Yang Tie Divine Monarch and others.
These Divine Monarchs sat upright, always focused on the Daoist Grand Master, seemingly waiting for her command at any moment.
Gong Caiyu then looked towards Mingguang Zi and other Great Sun Sword Cultivators.
These Great Sun Sword Cultivators were always arrogant, claiming they dared challenge even the Dari Swordsman, at most only death.
The Great Sun Sword Cultivators believed the Sword Dao was supreme, nothing else mattered, dying gloriously in a Sword Fight was the ultimate destiny of a Sword Cultivator, they often rampantly initiated Sword Fights, ignoring the Tushan Law, and at times, even the Great Yin Yang Sword Law was disregarded, extremely arrogant.
At this moment, Mingguang Zi and others, with their heads lowered, respectfully kowtowed.
