Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 859 - 566: Sitting Mountain Country: 200 Billion!

The twelfth year of the Great Yan Hongwu, September 7th.

After Yan Chuan finished his martial arts lecture in the Yuanzhou Territory, his abilities advanced once again. Particularly, the seamless creation of the first and second chapters of 'Ten Strong Martial Arts' allowed Yan Chuan to no longer be limited just to the unique prowess of 'Wave Riding Micro Steps' in future combat. The 'Ten Strong Martial Arts' encompasses a wide range of face-to-face fighting techniques, with the power of combining the ten strengths, the ten powers bolstered, and its might unmatched.

At the same time.

The terrifying power of the Great Yan Trading Company was unfolding. Yan Chuan exchanged the 'Green Brilliance Sword' obtained from the Iron Clothes Realm through the Great Yan Trading Company quickly, not caring about gaining or losing a few hundred Primordial Pills, aiming only to quickly sell it and procure enough 'Scattering Flower Lamps'.

Finally.

The seventh-rank divine weapon 'Green Brilliance Sword' was exchanged for 9,980 Primordial Pills, not quite reaching ten thousand, but within Yan Chuan's expectations. While the price of the Green Brilliance Sword didn't surprise him, the purchase price of the 'Scattering Flower Lamps' gave him a huge surprise. Originally priced at 800 catties of Essence Stone per lamp, after the disaster, they plummeted to 550 catties of Essence Stone, with additional discounts for bulk purchases.

The Great Yan Trading Company, with an average price of 500 catties of Essence Stones per lamp, procured 200,000 'Scattering Flower Lamps' for Yan Chuan with 9,980 Primordial Pills. Furthermore, each lamp included a gift of 100 catties of lamp oil. It was simply a tearful clearance sale, so although the price of the 'Green Brilliance Sword' did not meet Yan Chuan's expectations, the number of 'Scattering Flower Lamps' procured exceeded Yan Chuan's estimate of 'one divine weapon for 120,000 Scattering Flower Lamps', reaching a whopping 200,000.

"1 divine weapon."

"200,000 Scattering Flower Lamps!"

"Capable of covering a population of 20 million!"

"In the King City Realm of the Mountain and Sea Realm, equivalent to 200 million people watching!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Yan Chuan was thrilled.

...

[Your '72 Transformations' (first chapter) has been upgraded, Fourth Realm slightly successful→ Fifth Realm Integration.]

The next day.

September 8th.

The cultivation technique Yan Chuan practiced, '72 Transformations', advanced further, reaching the Fifth Realm. From this point, he fully mastered 'Skin and Flesh Transformation', 'Muscle and Bone Transformation', 'Cultivation Transformation', 'Qi Blood Transformation', 'Yin Yang Change', and 'Divine Soul Transformation'. After transformations, even a Sixth Rank Divine General, unless deliberately scrutinizing, would find it difficult to discern his true nature.

With this ability, Yan Chuan traversed the world more securely.

Until now——

Great progress in true skills!

Great advancement in cultivation!

Significant improvement in physique!

Only after all aspects of progress reached a certain level, and until Wang Zhengyi awoke, did Yan Chuan finally have enough confidence to head to Sitting Mountain Country to participate in the national struggle.

However, before this, Yan Chuan had to hold a martial arts lecture in one of the seven King City Realms under the control of Great Yan, the 'Huayuan Realm'. This lecture was primarily to record the 200,000 'Scattering Flower Lamps', aiming to finish recording them before traveling to Sitting Mountain Country, so that by then, the multitude of citizens in the seven King City Realms of Great Yan could hear and see Yan Chuan's martial arts lecture and provide feedback to him.

"This way, even if I'm at Sitting Mountain Country, day and night, I will still receive feedback from 20 million people."

200,000 Scattering Flower Lamps, covering a population of 20 million.

But the Scattering Flower Lamps can also be moved, so the true coverage might far exceed that.

Yan Chuan anticipated eagerly.

Time flew by, and another ten days passed. The date was now September 20th.

During this period.

Yan Chuan mainly held martial arts lectures in the Huayuan Realm, and every five days explored the Returning Ruins, reaping some benefits with Lu Yuru accompanying him.

Many treasures, which were not useful to Yan Chuan, Lu Yuru, or Wang Zhengyi, were sold by Yan Chuan through the Great Yan Trading Company, and more 'Scattering Flower Lamps' were procured, continually increasing from 200,000.

Yan Chuan's confidence grew stronger.

On September 20th, the day after the martial arts lecture in the Huayuan Realm concluded, Yan Chuan finally set off, hurrying to Sitting Mountain Country to meet Lvyu 'Golden Silk Jade Robe', the Sect Leader of the Iron Clothes Sect.

...

Before heading to Sitting Mountain Country, Yan Chuan meticulously reviewed his current multi-faceted strengths.

His cultivation had broken through to the Innate Nine Layers, reaching the peak of the Second Rank.

His physique had just reached the Innate Eighteen Layers, just at the Fifth Rank.

Basic strength had once again improved.

Moreover.

All true skills steadily rose, especially as more and more 'Scattering Flower Lamps' began to spread, Yan Chuan received more feedback daily, causing his progress to increase, advancing every day at a tremendous pace.

The 'Treasure Rock' was somewhat uneventful.

Yan Chuan could only hope for new surprises when the 'Treasure Rock' reached Level Five. For now, aside from the 'Seventh Rank·North Mansion' and 'Fifth Rank·White Horn Trumpet' being useful, other treasures were gradually falling behind, including the 'Sixth Rank·Purple Gold Shuttle'.

There's no helping it!

The rate of Yan Chuan's cultivation and strength improvement was too rapid, with spirituality unable to keep up, and the growth rate of the wonders in the 'Treasure Rock' lagging far behind Yan Chuan.

A gap had emerged.

Urgently needed to be resolved.

...

Sitting Mountain Country is located in the southern-central part of the Mo Yin Continent's South Continent. Despite being a third-rate country, it remains strong with a vast territory, boasting fourteen provinces, each with more than a dozen counties, and each county consisting of several to dozens of varying sizes of regions. Within each region would often reside several to dozens of city territories, each city territory governing dozens to hundreds of cities.

But calculating like this may not be intuitive.

However, in comparison, the regions beneath the provinces and counties of Sitting Mountain Country roughly corresponded to the Jinze Region, its city territories matching with the Hunxi Territory and Danhu Realm, and the cities beneath city territories were comparable to Golden Talisman City and Five Blessings City.

Describing it this way still doesn't make it intuitive enough.

So let's look at the number of administrative divisions of Sitting Mountain Country and its population——

Sitting Mountain Country has 14 provinces, 182 counties, 1638 regions, 18,000 city territories, nearly 400,000 large and small cities, and a population as high as 200 billion!

Enormous country!

Too vast!

200 billion people is simply unimaginable.

"Immensely vast territory."

"Enormous population."

"Breeds an extremely large and strong number of martial artists."

"Limit-breakers are as common as dogs, innates are everywhere."

"In Sitting Mountain Country or any nation, Divine Generals are not impressive, only a War God can stand out."

Yan Chuan arrived at Sitting Mountain Country and met Lvyu 'Golden Silk Jade Robe', the Sect Leader of the Iron Clothes Sect. This was a towering man, emitting a heavy, frightening aura akin to a ferocious beast. He seemed to have practiced a special body training method, presenting a formidable presence, and to consider bringing pressure on Yan Chuan at this point, it's clear this was at least a Sixth Rank Divine General.

At this moment, Lvyu was introducing Yan Chuan to the general situation of Sitting Mountain Country.
