"This is the Original Spirit Realm!"

Sitting cross-legged, a transluct and vague miniature figure flew out from atop his head, curiously observing his own body.

"The release of the Original Spirit is the Original Spirit itself!"

The most promint feature of the breakthrough to the Original Spirit Realm is the ability for the spirit to leave the physical body and roam miles away.

Ev if the physical body is shattered, one won\'t immediately die. However, the physical body is the foundation, and if it is shattered and no suitable body is found, death will sue.

The Original Spirit Realm is divided into t stages.

Each stage will make one\'s Original Spirit more consolidated. Upon reaching the tth stage, it ev becomes substantial, and upon comprehding the profound meanings of Divine Abilities, one\'s mana becomes incredibly powerful.

"Excellt, as expected of a pill produced by the system."

Chu Yuan knew that ev within the royal family, there is no such heav-defying pill.

His soul once again looked a and saw countless brok faces. Wh he looked at Jiang Ying\'s corpse, the face of a confused man appeared. It was Jiang Ying\'s Original Spirit and it hadn\'t yet completely dissipated.

Not only him, but those who hadn\'t reached the Original Spirit Realm all had shattered spiritual remnants floating above their bodies.

"The Great Devouring Technique!"

Upon Chu Yuan\'s thought.

A vortex formed a him, spanning several feet, exerting a strong suction a him. The shattered faces rushed into his body one after another, and in the d, ev Jiang Ying\'s Original Spirit was drawn in.

His realm finally solidified in the first stage of the Original Spirit Realm.

Normally, just after breaking through, it would take at least a month to stabilize his realm, but now it only took a few breaths.

"The Great Devouring Technique can absorb all sources, the biggest use of this technique among the 3000 great Dao is not to fight the emy, but to cultivate!"

Chu Yuan returned to his body, his eyes flashed, and he realized, "The soul is also a source, and it is a very pure source. If I can devour a large number of sources, wouldn\'t my realm be able to advance rapidly? The four countries of the Great Pottial Confederation are eyeing Dawu covetously. Once war begins, wouldn\'t there be countless souls for me to devour, for me to absorb?"

For Chu Yuan, the forthcoming war was an opportunity for him to rapidly consume souls.

The Great Devouring Technique seemed to exist naturally for war.

"Upgrade my realm." Chu Yuan said.

"After the Original Spirit Realm, every level up requires a thousand Destiny Points. Do you confirm?" the system asked.

"Confirm."

Chu Yuan decided without hesitation.

Once Destiny Points run out, they can be replished by making choices and completing evts. However, the upgrade in his realm was tangible.

"Original Spirit Stage Two!"

With the consumption of a thousand Destiny Points, Chu Yuan\'s realm has brok through to the second stage of the Original Spirit Realm.

"Ev those in the second stage of the Divine Realm are not my match." Chu Yuan proudly stated.

"It\'s time to go back."

The rebels within Southern Mountain had be dealt with by Chu Yuan, and staying longer wouldn\'t trigger any choices. Returning to the Royal Palace could trigger new evts. The thing he was in most need of right now was Destiny Points. If possible, he\'d like to level up to the Divine Realm directly.

Wielding the Sword of the Human Emperor, if his realm reaches the Divine Realm, ev those who peek into the Divine Realm would be reduced to ashes.

"Hahahaha!"

Chu Yuan\'s laughter echoed through the somber Southern Mountain.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial st from the six departmts."

Just after returning to the Royal Palace, Chu Yuan tered the Imperial Study. Eunuch Wei prested him with a heap of reports piled into a small mountain atop the desk.

"This report is from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It concerns the aftermath of the Original Spirit soldiers." Eunuch Wei explained, "Although each one of these soldiers has be giv ample compsation, there are some who seek to take advantage of them, using various methods to confiscate it, especially those who are old or weak."

"Eunuch Wei, on my behalf, issue a decree stating that the Divine Soldiers are under my direct command. All of their befits, including their properties, should they be exchanged, need to be recorded with me. Otherwise, they will all be nullified."

Chu Yuan declared, "The Divine Army is the foundation of Dawu. We cannot allow those who remain alive to lose heart."

"Your servant understands." Eunuch Wei nodded. "Your Majesty, please examine these reports."

"Hmm?"

Chu Yuan\'s brows furrowed as he randomly oped a few more: "I just resolved the Southern Mountain issue, yet again, there are so many bandits emerging in Huayin County, Wei Yang County, Ninggui County, and other sev counties. What are the county governors doing? Do they expect me to solve everything?"

"Your Majesty, there are bandits and rebels in twty-five prefectures and sev counties in Dawu. Many soldiers from these counties have be dispatched to the borders, leaving the home front undermanned and unstable, causing everywhere to be plagued by them. These bandits may not be significant in numbers, but if left unchecked, that is not a good thing either."

Eunuch Wei carefully added.

Dawu has twty-sev counties with a hundred prefectures, and now that sev of these counties have countered bandits, one can imagine how severe the situation is. If this continues, it is sure to spread.

"Eunuch Wei, do you have any idea who it is that appeared in the Southern Mountain?" Chu Yuan questioned.

"Ar\'t they just bandits, seeking to take advantage of the currt chaos in the world, to gain some befits or ev to dominate and become self-proclaimed kings, just like the former dynasty, acting like feudal lords." Eunuch Wei replied.

"If it is really like that, I would be relieved." Chu Yuan said coldly, "They are the soldiers of Wei Wu King, stationed a three thousand soldiers, and there was ev a master of the Divine Realm."

"Wei Wu King!"

Eunuch Wei\'s color drained from his face.

During the world\'s chaos under the former dynasty, wh the late Emperor was waging war all over, Wei Wu King had millions of soldiers under his command and later pledged allegiance to the late Emperor.

Although the late Emperor also intded to weak his power, if he acted against him without just cause, it could pottially cause instability within the Imperial Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the late Emperor passed away first.

"Those three thousand soldiers?"

"All were annihilated by me, including that Divine Realm master. Hav\'t you realized, I am now in the Original Spirit Realm?"

Boom! An overpowering aura from the Original Spirit Realm burst forth. Although Eunuch Wei was also in the Original Spirit Realm, he was nowhere near Chu Yuan. His legs gave out, dropping him to his knees.

"Your Majesty\'s breakthrough to the Original Spirit Realm, I\'m truly overjoyed for the good fortunes of Dawu!"

Eunuch Wei knew very well why peace was disrupted in the empire. It was due to the late Emperor\'s death. The feudal lords believed that the second emperor was not spiritually strong ough to control the overall situation; thus, each of them wanted to exploit this opportune momt for their own advantage.

He didn\'t dare to ask why Chu Yuan\'s cultivation improved so rapidly.

"Those bandits a various counties and prefectures are nothing more than a puppet show performed by the feudal lords. Each of them wants to mobilize soldiers, but they fear the court might find out. So, they have be secretly plotting, for instance, Wei Wu King ev stationed his soldiers right next to my capital city."

Chu Yuan sneered continuously. He was blessed with three years of foresight and knew the maneuvers of those feudal lords.

"But Your Majesty, if you ignore this, it will damage the prestige of the court. If this continues and people\'s hearts are lost, that\'s precisely what they want to see."

Eunuch Wei could see that many people within the court were already planning their escape routes, ev secretly pledging allegiance to powerful forces behind the sces.

"Indeed, although I have a million-strong army, some of the Forbidd Army only obey the command of the Geral. I fear they might act against my orders. The Imperial Guard, though powerful, is too few in number. They have to guard the Imperial City, and the rest - the county and prefecture soldiers - are ev weaker and hard to depd on. The Southern Mountain incidt is a perfect example."

Chu Yuan mused, "I currtly lack an invincible army that could conquer all."

"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Eunuch Wei asked.

[Option One: Let the bandits run rampant, solidify the defse of the Imperial City, and ignore the issue. As long as it doesn\'t threat your position, gain one hundred Destiny Points.]

[Option Two: Issue an imperial edict to Official Qing Yun, and have him dispatch the Forbidd Army to eliminate the bandits, gain one hundred Destiny Points.]

[Option Three: Reorganize the Divine Army, hold the power of a large force, and never worry about anything, gain one hundred Destiny Points.]

"Right, since the thirty thousand Divine Soldiers under the late Emperor have be reduced to dust, I can build a new Divine Army to bring glory back to the Divine Warriors!"
