Chapter 276 – Just gone for half a year, and the world has changed?


“Burp!!”

“I’ve only eaten a few pieces, but I feel like I can’t eat anymore.”

“No way, it’s too delicious, but I’ve only had five or six pieces of dragon meat, and I feel full.”

Jasper Zuo, Qian Cheng, and the others felt their bodies heating up, filled with essence and power. It seemed they were on the verge of breaking through in their cultivation.

Jasper Zuo, Gavin Wang, and others were scholars. Although they practiced martial arts, their cultivation levels weren’t very high.

The dragon meat from the demon saint realm contained abundant essence, enough for them to break through their current cultivation levels.

“After eating the dragon meat, I feel like I’ve become a few years younger,” Gavin Wang said in shock.

“My lords, don’t eat too much. Use your cultivation methods to refine it first,” Oliver Sheng advised.

Oliver was worried that these scholars might explode from the powerful essence of the dragon meat.

This was dragon meat from the demon saint realm, not ordinary beast meat.

“What a vast amount of essence,” Wang Zhan and Cameron Guo felt the powerful essence filling their bodies.

Their eyes lit up. This dragon meat was a great tonic, even more potent than pills.

They quickly used the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique to refine the essence and enhance their cultivation.

Oliver Sheng’s personal guards and the generals present all practiced the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique. At this moment, they were devouring the dragon meat, constantly refining the essence to improve their cultivation.

Only Oliver Sheng and Hazel Han were unaffected.

Hazel Han, a Great Grandmaster at Great Perfection, had condensed three Dao Flowers, and her cultivation was climbing towards the Martial Saint realm.

As for Oliver Sheng, his strength was so formidable that he could eat an entire dragon by himself without any issue.

“Try this, it’s dragon blood, perfect for hot pot,” Oliver Sheng said, placing the prepared dragon blood into the pot and serving a piece to Hazel Han.

Seeing this, Gavin Wang, Qian Cheng, Wang Zhan, and the others pretended not to notice.

One was the Shengwu King, the other the Empress. Even if there was something between them, who would dare gossip?

“Hmm, very tender, delicious,” Hazel Han, now a foodie, kept eating voraciously.

This dragon meat was a great tonic, providing her with powerful essence to quickly accumulate and break through to the Martial Saint realm.

Gavin Wang, Jasper Zuo, and the others couldn’t refine it anymore after eating too much and dared not eat further.

Wang Zhan and Cameron Guo were eating and refining the dragon meat essence with all their might.

They wanted to become stronger, and now was a great opportunity not to be missed.

Dragon meat, after all, wasn’t something you could eat just anytime.

In the end, most of the dragon meat was eaten by Hazel Han.

“I can’t eat anymore, I can’t eat anymore,” Hazel Han’s flawless face was now flushed red.

Her body was now filled with an immense amount of essence.

The remaining dragon meat was all eaten by Oliver Sheng alone.

Still feeling unsatisfied, Oliver Sheng brought out a giant crab demon and a lobster demon, shelled them, and cooked a large crab and lobster to finally feel full.

In the days that followed, it was a seafood feast every day.

Oliver Sheng brought out a lot of demon beast blood and meat for his personal guards and the Wei Wu Troops to eat, aiding his subordinates in their cultivation.

Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, Harrison Zhou, and others were stationed outside and missed this seafood feast.

A month later, Wang Zhan and Cameron Guo’s cultivation had advanced to the mid-Grandmaster level.

The personal guards and Wei Wu Troops also improved by one level.

Shouyang began large-scale construction, with seventy to eighty thousand slaves building the Capital City day and night.

Oliver Sheng’s campaign against the demons in the East Sea spread across the Central Plains.

Countless people, though aware of Oliver Sheng’s power, were still incredibly shocked.

Slaying over a dozen demon saints, two dragon clan demon emperors, and clearing a thousand miles of demon clans in the East Sea.

This act made countless common people along the East Sea coast grateful for Oliver Sheng’s achievements, setting up longevity tablets for him at home.

……

At the Zhangye border, Zane Wang and a few scouts hurried back, looking at the frontier city ahead.

Zane Wang and the scouts finally showed joy on their faces.

“We’re finally back.”

“Great Wei, we’re back,” they couldn’t help but shout.

Entering the city gate, Zane Wang sighed deeply.

This trip to the Western Regions had taken more than half a year.

“Let’s eat first, then return to River West City. I’ll treat you all to three days and nights of fun at Xiaoyao Tower!” Zane Wang said.

The scouts’ eyes lit up.

After all, what kind of general leads what kind of troops!

Nowadays, the frontier city at the Zhangye border was also very prosperous.

The prosperity of the Western Regions trade route had driven a massive economy, with numerous taverns and inns in the city, bustling with people.

Zane Wang led his scouts into a tavern, ready for a big meal.

“Boss, bring us a serving of everything good to eat,” Zane Wang and his men casually found a table and sat down.

They overheard the conversation at the next table.

“Hey, have you heard? The Shengwu King cleared the demons in the East Sea, slaying countless sea demons.”

“Of course, the Shengwu King almost wiped out the East Sea demons single-handedly,” another person exaggerated.

“I heard several dragons from the East Sea were slain.”

Zane Wang and his men were stunned to hear about Oliver Sheng clearing demons in the East Sea.

Their general went to the East Sea to slay demons?

“In today’s world, the Shengwu King is the strongest,” someone said.

“Indeed, first he destroyed the Huns, then the Kunlun Daoist Sect, and then swept through Da Li and Da Chu, unifying the Central Plains. The Shengwu King alone silenced the entire world.”

Hearing this, Zane Wang was dumbfounded.

“Brother, what did you say? The Huns are gone? Da Chu and Da Li too?” Zane Wang couldn’t help but ask.

“You guys must have just returned from the Western Regions, right?” the person looked at Zane Wang and his men and couldn’t help but say.

Zane Wang nodded, “Yes, we just returned from the Western Regions.”

“That explains it!” the person said knowingly.

“Let me tell you, the Shengwu King is incredible…”

Zane Wang listened as the person recounted the events of the past six months, and he was completely stunned.

First, the Huns were wiped out, then the Kunlun Daoist Sect, followed by Da Li and Da Chu.

Now, Great Wei had unified the world, reaching its peak strength.

After a long while, Zane Wang finally came to his senses.

“No way, I just spent a little over half a year in the thirty-six Western Regions, and now you’re telling me the world has changed?”

Zane Wang felt like he had missed out on a fortune!

Whether it was destroying the Huns or Da Li and Da Chu, he hadn’t earned any military merits.

At this moment, Zane Wang regretted it so much he wanted to bash his head against tofu and die.

He blamed the beautiful women of the Western Regions for making him linger and miss out on these monumental achievements.

“Brother, what’s wrong? Why the long face?” the person saw Zane Wang suddenly looking ashen and couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing, nothing!” Zane Wang forced a smile that was worse than crying.

“Your family isn’t a high-ranking official from Da Chu or Da Li, is it?” the person looked at Zane Wang with a strange expression.

Nowadays, the world belonged to Great Wei, and apart from high-ranking families from Da Li and Da Chu, who else would react like they lost their parents upon hearing this news?

“No, I just remembered my ten-year-old dog, Big Yellow, died in labor, and I felt sad,” Zane Wang said.

The people around looked at him strangely. A dog dying in labor made you this sad?

If they didn’t know better, they’d think it was your wife who died in labor.

Zane Wang ignored the people around him, looking at the table full of delicious food, but he had no appetite.

The chance to bring glory to his ancestors and earn a title was gone, how could he not be sad?

That was a chance to be ennobled!

After a trip to the Western Regions, Zane Wang felt like the sky had fallen.

“Colonel, Colonel?”

“Are you okay?” the scouts looked at Zane Wang, full of concern.

“I’m fine, thank you!” Zane Wang said bitterly, taking a sip of wine.

The wine was bitter, and at this moment, even the air was bitter!

Bitter, so bitter!!
