Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 70: Announcement for Seeking Heirs with a High Price

Recently, there has been a large temperature difference between day and night during the seasonal transition, and I have caught the flu, so I haven't been feeling well.

Starting from Chapter 60, I haven't been very satisfied with the plot I wrote, and the feedback from readers has been average.

I have decided to abandon all the previous drafts and rewrite a new plot.

Therefore, I, the author, dare to take a break. Today, I will release a new chapter and start reviewing the plot from the first chapter.

I will polish the outline and details.

I estimate that by mid-May, the word count of this book will reach over 200,000.

And then it will be published.

After it is published, I will do my best to release more chapters. As long as I can keep writing, I will write to the end!

...

In addition.

Many readers have expressed that I, the author, am too casual, using three question marks or three exclamation marks.

I, the author, just want to say.

This is not being casual. Three question marks or three exclamation marks are used to express strong emotions.

Light novels are all about emotions, right?

If the emotional plot is not slightly exaggerated, and there are no ups and downs from beginning to end, what kind of interest can it bring?

Moreover.

Most of my chapters are over 2,200 words, some even over 2,300 words. The more casual the chapter, the more words it spills over.

For example, Chapter 70 has 2,700 words.

In a way, this ensures that there is enough substantial content, and the inclusion of emotional words does not reduce the effective plot.

Furthermore, the current free chapters don't require any money. When it is published, I, the author, will try to be more concise in my wording.

Although I, the author, may not have much integrity, I would not intentionally increase the word count to deceive for money.

Nowadays, most books are published with around 160,000 to 170,000 words. I, the author, plan to reach 200,000 words before considering publication.

Let everyone enjoy the free chapters first, and don't worry about whether it's casual or not.

After all, the more casual, the more refreshing it is~

...

Also.

There is a question about the merit system in this book.

Many readers have expressed that it is too easy for the protagonist to gain merit points.

Here, I, the author, will explain.

First of all, it is not easy for the protagonist to gain merit points.

Let's count the instances when the protagonist gained merit points.

1. Killing the tiger demon and the fierce ghost, his cultivation increased but did not break through to a higher realm.

2. The protagonist repaired the seal of the underworld, and his cultivation broke through from the Fifth Layer of Foundation Building to the Seventh Layer of Foundation Building. At the same time, his aptitude and luck increased.

3. The protagonist helped the disaster victims, saving the lives of tens of thousands of refugees and giving them the courage to rebuild their lives.

His cultivation reached the peak of the Eighth Layer of Foundation Building and broke through to the First Layer of Core Formation.

Did you notice?

Every time the protagonist breaks through due to merit, he has done something significant and influential, and then he receives the merit bestowed by the heavens.

How many ordinary cultivators can encounter a rupture in the seal of the underworld?

How many have the ability to repair it?

As for helping the disaster victims, I, the author, have also explained: there were previous relief efforts by sects and wealthy individuals, but the common people were not under control!

The protagonist used bran to help the disaster victims and came up with a way to replace labor with work, so the effect was particularly significant.

Otherwise.

Even if you don't mention a thousand spiritual stones, even if it's three to five thousand spiritual stones, there wouldn't be that much merit.

Normal sects have money and spiritual stones, and they will obtain cultivation resources from other channels or find other ways to gain merit.

After all.

There are countless paths to choose from. For ordinary Foundation Building Stage cultivators, who would be willing to spend several thousand spiritual stones to help the disaster victims and gain merit?

Not to mention that it's not certain whether merit can be obtained, and with so many spiritual stones, can't they be used for cultivation?

...

As for other cultivation forces, why don't they monopolize merit?

How can they monopolize it?

When wild beasts in the mountains absorb the essence of the sun and moon, there is a chance for them to cultivate into monsters that kill and eat people. By killing them, one can obtain merit.

You can't expect disciples to capture the monsters and only let the "privileged" people in the sect kill them!

Even in ancient and modern worlds, ordinary soldiers have the opportunity to earn military merits!

As for intentionally cultivating Monsters and demonic cultivators, and then killing them.

In a certain sense, this approach does have feasibility, but it shouldn't be taken too far.

Let me give you an example.

When the author was writing about the protagonist repairing the seal of the Netherworld, he described the protagonist muttering to himself - finding a demonic cultivator to destroy the seal and then repairing it himself.

The result?

He almost got struck by lightning. What does this indicate?

It shows that the rules of the heavens are very strict. If you intentionally cultivate Monsters and demonic cultivators to harm others, the karmic thread will be connected. Do you still expect to gain merits?

Consider yourself lucky if you're not sharing the karmic burden.

Of course.

Referring to history and the real world, the rules of the heavens in this Immortal Cultivation World are not completely foolproof.

For example.

If certain high-ranking members of righteous Immortal Gates have malicious intentions, during the process of slaying demons and monsters, they intentionally leave some alive, killing one hundred people and sparing twenty.

These twenty people "escaped" by their own abilities, not because I saved them, right?

I won't take the blame!

Then, they allow these twenty people to recruit soldiers and grow stronger, and when they become rampant again, they come to exterminate them and reap the rewards.

It's like ancient princes and generals who nurtured bandits to become powerful, intentionally forcing the common people to turn to banditry, and when the time is right, they wipe them all out.

But they would never personally appear, publicly disassociating themselves from those bandits.

Even those bandits themselves might not think they have any connection to them.

But when the time is ripe.

A wave of extermination.

The treasures stolen by the bandits become theirs, the bandits' heads can be used to claim military merits, and they can even gain the support of the common people.

It's the same in this world.

Immortal Gates also have bad people, but the setting of the Three Purities Immortal Gate belongs to the righteous path.

It is truly the righteous path.

Just like the Shu Mountain sect in "Chinese Paladin 3," their duty is to protect the world and its people.

Therefore.

Within the jurisdiction of the Three Purities Immortal Gate, such dirty things rarely happen, but it doesn't mean that other Immortal Gates don't have them.

Heaven and earth, all things in the world, have yin and yang, have righteousness and evil.

Nothing is absolute.

The author believes that a fascinating story world background should be diverse.

After all.

Even in the real world, there are many staunch idealists, aren't there?

Looking back a hundred years.

Weren't the leaders of that era all passionate heroes?

In the subsequent chapters, the author will further supplement the setting regarding this aspect, so that everyone doesn't feel that the setting is not rigorous enough.

Wow.

I originally had a cold and wanted to take a break, but ended up writing a 2,300-word leave request.

Adding the 2,700 words from Chapter 70, rounding it up, it's equivalent to updating with 5,000 words.

Phew.

It really exhausted the author.

In any case.

The author will try to fill in the setting of this book. The author will read and consider all the comments, messages, opinions, and suggestions from everyone.

If they are indeed reasonable, the author will adopt and modify them.

...

Finally.

Thank you to all the brothers and sisters who have been supporting this book. Really, thank you very much!

Here, the author will perform a set of Sword Lineage ultimate skills for everyone!

[90-degree bow!!!]

[One bow!]

[Another bow!]

[Three bows!]

[Wishing everyone good health and abundant wealth!]
