American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan was awakened by the overwhelming scent of rouge.

The smell was too strong, somewhat like cheap perfume mixed with fake alcohol.

Frowning, Qi Shan opened his eyes and found himself completely naked, lying on an enormous soft couch, surrounded by women on all sides.

However, this situation was far from a beautiful display of feminine forms or a scene of Bacchanalian indulgence.

Instead, Qi Shan was reminded of a pig farm because the women beside him were simply too fat.

Even the thinnest among them must have weighed at least 300 pounds, and looking at himself, he was indeed still in his youthful prime.

Qi Shan was speechless. What was going on? How much of a blow had he suffered to degrade himself like this?

Fragments of memory slowly coalesced, and Qi Shan gradually pieced them together, slowly understanding what had happened to his predecessor.

The Qi Shan of this world was a king among those reborn. He had been directly reincarnated into the womb of the queen, making him the crown prince from birth.

He should have lived a life of luxury and controlled the fate of the world, but fate, as always, loved to play tricks on people.

By Qi Shan's father's generation, the Great Qi Empire had been strong and prosperous for thousands of years. Various malpractices had accumulated continuously, finally erupting in Qi Shan's father's generation, and when they did, they spread like a volcanic eruption.

A once-powerful dynasty had rapidly declined within a mere decade or so and was now like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The old emperor couldn't withstand such a massive blow, and with one breath, he went straight to the underworld to report.

The Empress Dowager was heartbroken, and her mind was now somewhat damaged. She spent most of her time in a daze. Qi Shan was forced to take the throne, not only having to deal with the cunning civil and military officials but also having to deal with his ambitious younger brother and some uncles with ulterior motives.

In a word, this was the beginning of a perfect imperial novel.

Unfortunately, the situation wasn't that simple. This world openly possessed the power of immortal cultivation.

That's right, the country wasn't the most powerful force; the immortal cultivation sects were.

The Great Qi Kingdom, where Qi Shan was located, was vast, several times larger than the Central Plains. The dynasty had lasted for thousands of years, with prosperity and few wars.

Its national strength was undeniable, but even so, the Great Qi Empire was among the least influential within the sphere of influence of the immortal cultivation sects.

For example, the Immortal Crane Sect, to which the Great Qi Empire belonged, had at least ten powerful empires under its command, and the smallest of them was at least 100 times larger than the Great Qi Empire.

After learning this information, Qi Shan's mouth began to twitch. This world was so huge?

Was this a joke?

Qi Shan slowly got up. The two fat women suddenly woke up with a start. Just as they were about to speak, their bodies suddenly froze, and then their eyes rolled back, and they lost consciousness again.

He ignored the fat women who had been directly killed by his evil thoughts and instead focused on sorting out his power, muttering softly.

"My Nen ability can be used normally, and item exchange seems to be fine too. This world doesn't seem to suppress my power. Could it be that the power ceiling of this world is very high?"

Walking out of the huge room, he found himself in a lavishly decorated banquet hall. The banquet hall was extremely empty. The places where fresh fruits and vegetables were originally placed on the tables were now empty, with only some wine left.

In the very center was a golden throne. As Qi Shan walked, he condensed the dragon robe from his memory.

Sitting on the throne, the fragments of memory surged even faster.

The empire, from top to bottom, was content with pleasure, emphasizing literature over martial arts. Everyone was busy with meaningless scholarly pursuits, not caring at all that the empire was heading towards decline step by step.

The large and small countries under the Immortal Crane Sect hardly bordered each other.

All the intermediate areas were treacherous places unsuitable for human habitation. However, in these desolate places, there were a surprising number of barbarians who were struggling to survive.

Judging from their physical characteristics, the barbarians were different from humans. Although they were both humanoid creatures, the barbarians had a shorter growth cycle and were significantly larger.

It took humans at least fifteen or sixteen years from birth to adulthood, while barbarians only needed five or six years to transform from an infant into a strong warrior.

Even so, they also had their own language and their own direction of civilization development. Although these barbarians seemed uncivilized to humans, they were still a headache in battle.

The barbarians' reproduction rate was too fast, so the population would explode at any time, and when there were too many people, there wasn't enough food to eat.

As early as thousands of years ago, when the barbarians still existed in the form of tribes, they would attack each other, consuming the population while also seizing more food.

But with the development of the times, the barbarians also learned to form alliances. They gathered all the tribes under a loose alliance, and everyone was united against the outside world.

Every time the barbarians attacked, the overwhelming scene was a headache for the human empires.

Every ten years, all countries had to pay tribute to the Immortal Crane Sect in exchange for the sect's protection.

This rule had been going on for thousands of years, so not to mention Qi Shan, even Qi Shan's father had never seen what abilities the Immortal Crane Sect actually possessed that could protect an empire.

But the rules passed down by the ancestors, Qi Shan's father didn't dare to easily break them.

So when it came to Qi Shan, he should follow suit, but the time for tribute was still early.

The power of cultivators was often only passed down by word of mouth, and almost no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.

But this concept was already deeply rooted, and fortunately, the so-called cultivators didn't live with mortals.

So not disturbing each other was a rare benefit.

Qi Shan pondered lightly.

Judging from the fact that the Great Qi Dynasty had maintained the feudal system for thousands of years, this should have been deliberately done by the Immortal Crane Sect. Otherwise, no matter how hard they tried, the progress of civilization development shouldn't have stopped.

Thousands of years were enough to evolve the ordinary feudal dynasty into a constitutional monarchy, and scientific development should also have made some progress.

After all, objective laws were always there, and people would always discover them over time, and various inventions and creations should have sprung up with the passage of time.

But Qi Shan searched his memory and didn't find this situation, which meant that it should have been deliberately done by the Immortal Crane Sect. They needed humans to be in this environment.

It's just that I don't know the purpose yet.

"It seems that I have to get in touch with the cultivation system of this world first!"

Qi Shan felt that since he had come to the world of cultivating immortals with great difficulty, he certainly couldn't miss the cultivation methods that were rumored to be miraculous.

He had been wandering around the movie world before, and later received the task of descending, so he ran to some strange worlds.

Before, it was either weirdness or so-called superpowers. The power was not universal at all. Now it is not easy to encounter a power that can be learned, of course, you have to learn it.

Slightly sensed the body, the weakness that came from the body when I just opened my eyes has now disappeared without a trace.

The energy inside is slowly consumed, and at a very fast speed, it is making up for the deficit of this body.

Being a doomsday emperor, besides eating, drinking, and having fun, there seems to be no way to pass the time. No wonder the body will be ruined like this. If I hadn't appeared, I'm afraid this body would have been ruined soon.

Overall, Qi Shan is still somewhat satisfied with this identity. The most unbearable thing for him, of course, is the aesthetic that makes people all over the body unable to look directly at!

Thinking of a group of white pigs lying on the bed, sleeping with him, Qi Shan felt a little shuddering.

After sitting for a while, after sorting out his thoughts, Qi Shan said lightly.

"Someone!"

The door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a maid in a light pink palace dress walked in slowly, her slender figure gently kneeling on the ground, and respectfully saluted.

"Give me a wash and change of clothes, I'm going out!"

"Yes!"

The maid stood up, turned her head and nodded slightly, and four maids in dark work clothes immediately ran in in small steps.

They were all holding a tray in their hands, filled with various utensils.

These girls were quick with their hands and feet, and soon served Qi Shan to dress neatly, wash up, and after sending the sachets, the maids stepped back and walked out of the banquet hall respectfully.

Qi Shan stepped out.

What caught his eye was a small garden, a typical Suzhou garden architecture, with rockeries, streams, and iconic red pavilions in the distance.

An old eunuch hurried over and saluted when he saw Qi Shan.

"Your Majesty, may you be blessed. Old Lu didn't expect that Your Majesty would wake up so early today. I was dozing off just now and didn't have time to come and serve Your Majesty. I really deserve to die!"

"Okay, can I blame you?"

Qi Shan waved his hand indifferently, ordering the old eunuch to get up directly.

This old lady was also the personal companion of Qi Shan's father since he was a child, surnamed Li. I don't know the specific name.

The predecessor was naughty since he was a child, specializing in eating, drinking and having fun, and looked down on other eunuchs, but he treated Li Da Ban, who he had played with when he was a child, differently.

So don't look at this eunuch being old and ugly, in fact, he is still very powerful in the palace.

The old eunuch got up, and Qi Shan asked, "I remember that the late emperor once raised a few Taoists with Taoism. Where are they now?"

The old eunuch was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the emperor, who usually only cared about drinking and beauties and never paid attention to court affairs, would suddenly ask about Taoists?

But he was professional after all. After pondering for a while, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the late emperor recruited two Taoists into the palace in his early years, named Hongyu Taoist and Baiyu Taoist. They are a pair of brothers and are not young.

They had a chance encounter in their early years and obtained incomplete cultivation methods. Therefore, they spent sixty years of time and finally developed some clues. Unfortunately, they are too old and their bodies are no longer good.

The alchemy methods mastered by the two Taoist priests can only prolong life, but cannot be compared with the people of the immortal sect.

After the late emperor understood this, he was extremely disappointed, so he casually allocated some silver from his underwear and built a Shuiyu Taoist temple near the root of the imperial city, which was considered to have sent the two Taoist priests away!

If there are no accidents, they should still be there. If Your Majesty wants to see them, I will find someone to inform them!"

Qi Shan nodded: "Go, call these two Taoist priests here, I have something to ask!"

The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted, turned and left.

Qi Shan knew it was because of his title. As an emperor, of course, he had to use "I" to show his majesty, but Qi Shan didn't care about that. He just spoke according to his habits. Could he have any objection?

Leaving this Yuanzi, Qi Shan came directly to the back garden, asked people to prepare a banquet, and then took out the relevant information he had found before and read it.

After a while, the old eunuch hurriedly brought two Taoists with white hair and beards.

These two Taoists were indeed brothers, and they looked almost exactly the same.

It's just that the colors of the Taoist robes on their bodies are different. One is a bit reddish, and the other is a bit moon white, which is very consistent with their Taoist names.

The two old Taoists both have long goatees, their faces are full of red light, their skin is full and ruddy, and they are holding delicate silver-handled whisks on the left and right, looking like immortals, with excellent appearance.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Poor Dao Hongyu, Baiyu!"

The two old Taoists bowed with smiles on their faces.

Qi Shan was a little speechless. As expected, they were Taoists who only knew how to cultivate, and they had no emotional intelligence in communication.

This flattering smile almost wrote your inner thoughts on your faces.

Qi Shan sighed slightly in his heart. Even in the world of cultivating immortals, kingship has its unique charm.

"No need to be polite!"

Qi Shan waved his hand, and Li Da Ban quickly greeted the little eunuch to bring the banquet up.

The status gap was too big, so it was impossible for a few people to sit together. Qi Shan had a large table, and the two old Taoists had two small tables respectively, which were not far apart, but definitely not close.

"I am suddenly very interested in Taoism today, so I asked Li Da Ban, and he recommended the two Taoist priests, so I called them to ask. I wonder if the Taoist priests can teach me your skills?" Qi Shan spoke very directly.

The smiles of the two old Taoists froze all of a sudden.

The reason why they joined the royal family was to seek wealth. They knew their own affairs.

Don't look at the bright appearance, it's actually dung eggs with a bright surface. Only they know what's inside.

The methods inherited by the two of them were just an ancient book that they accidentally picked up in their early years. They practiced blindly because of ignorance, and by coincidence, they produced a burst of innate energy.

Although this thing can prolong life and strengthen the body, it is still a world of difference compared with cultivators.

But even so, the old Taoist priest didn't want to hand it over, after all, this was the foundation of their two people's lives!
