Volume 3 - Chapter 138: Postnatal Dao Embryo, Loose Cultivator’s Challenge – Part 3

After Li Hao left, Sword Cliff fell silent. The Sword Lord let out a soft sigh.

He knew that after this departure, their next meeting would be a long time away.

The Supreme Heavenly Battle of Geniuses was no easy feat. Li Hao needed to focus entirely on preparing. If he managed to secure first place in the future, he would ascend to sainthood. Whether he could still maintain his ...

Chapter 292: Spain's Bright Future

Carlos IV stared intently at Joseph, his voice trembling with excitement: "Are you saying this casually, or...?"

Joseph replied with a serious expression, "Her Majesty the Queen sent me to Madrid."

Carlos immediately became even more animated, his chest heaving as he vigorously patted Joseph on both shoulders. "France will always be Spain's closest brother!"

Joseph proceeded to outline the bright future of France and Spain jo...

Chapter 291: England’s Fatal Weakness

In Spain, the Count of Florida Blanca held an important position not only as the Secretary of State but also as the chief executor of Carlos III’s reform plans.

As the last capable monarch of Spain, Carlos III had vigorously implemented enlightened absolutism, promoting the spread of Enlightenment ideas, encouraging industrial and commercial development, and pursuing economic liberalization. He also dealt heavy blows to the power ...

Chapter 283: Another "Western Front"

Tigani could hardly believe what Charles was saying. He thought Charles was joking, but Charles was serious.

A landing operation required the Marines.

However, at this time, the concept of the "Marine Corps" didn’t exist. Even the British Navy, which had been using warships to seize colonies worldwide, didn't have a Marine Corps.

The British Navy had the "Royal Naval Division," and the 29th Division, whic...

Chapter 282: What About the Colonel?

The sun had risen high in the sky when Camille sat by the stove, knitting a sweater.

Perhaps due to her restless mood, she kept making mistakes, mis-stitching and repeatedly getting it wrong when she tried to undo the mistakes. Before long, the sweater had become a knot, and she decided to toss it aside and sit in her chair, staring blankly at the flickering flames.

Camille had not been able to eat or sleep peacefully lately.

Chapter 534: The Five Peak Saints of the New Continent

Charlot's first experience on the battlefield was returning to the Behemoth Principality to fight against the South Seraph restorationists. Most of his subsequent battles also revolved around South Seraph. It was unexpected and poignant that the final confrontation would also take place there.

Facing a vast New Continent fleet of thousands of ships, Charlot used the Radiant Holy Kingdom and Emilia Mecklenburg as the core of his strategy. He connected all his ships into a massive floatin...

Chapter 533: The New Leader of the New Continent Council

Charlot Mecklenburg had previously battled the Flame Evil God Anururu, though back then, his role had been more of an observer than a true participant. Seeing these Flame Evil Gods again brought a peculiar sense of familiarity.

During the expedition to the Aggras Sea, Charlot had distributed magical alchemical warships to his Saint-rank subordinates. However, upon returning to the Old Continent, many Saints chose not to follow the fleet due to their lack of expertise in naval combat or ...

“Respected Sword Lord, Qingying’s Dao Embryo has been destroyed. I wonder if you could help rebuild it?” Li Hao asked, his eyes filled with hope.

The Sword Lord shook his head slightly and said, “The Dao Embryo is an innate creation. Even for people like us, it cannot be rebuilt. Unless you can find a Dao Heaven Vine to nourish and transform the Dao, but that item is extremely...

Volume 3 - Chapter 138: Postnatal Dao Embryo, Loose Cultivator’s Challenge - Part 1

When the Sword Lord appeared, all the disciples present were stunned.

The Sword Lord was extremely enigmatic, residing in the Sword Tower year-round. Most disciples, when visiting the Sword Tower to select techniques, had no opportunity to meet him. They had only heard his name, but very few had ever seen his face.

At this moment, the Sword Lord’s voice rang out, clear and calm, ...

Chapter 290: The Crown Prince’s Diplomacy

Joseph immediately broke into a brilliant smile. “Mother, I’d like to personally visit Vienna. Since my uncle fell ill, I haven’t had the chance to properly visit him.

“Oh, I’ll do everything in my power to help my uncle resolve the Brabant issue and return to him the peace he deserves.

“At the same time, there are many matters I can discuss with him.”

Queen Marie nodded with deep relief. “That’s wo...

Chapter 289: What Does Sentiment Mean Between Nations?

Queen Marie Antoinette immediately turned to Archbishop Brienne after hearing the news. “My brother is already plagued by illness, and now such chaos has erupted in the Southern Netherlands. I believe we should assist him in handling the rebellion.”

She clasped her hands and pondered aloud: “The Dutch hold considerable influence in the Southern Netherlands, and we have long supported the Dutch Patriot Party. Now...

Chapter 281: Tiziani's Persistence

In the French National Assembly, the members were growing increasingly vocal in their criticism of Gallieni’s “campaign”:

“The Allied fleet had to halt its night-time bombardments! Do you understand what this means?”

“The positions taken by the landing forces during the day will be retaken by the enemy at night due to the lack of artillery support.”

“Our army is engaged in a seesaw battle on t...

Chapter 532: The Campaign to Reclaim the Abruzzo Region

In the third week after Charlot Mecklenburg’s return to the Mecklenburg Duchy, he bid farewell to an important figure—his teacher, Juno Arthur. Before departing, Juno Arthur left Charlot a thick journal, detailing his lifelong experiences in exploring the path to godhood.

Though Charlot had no desire to become a vampire, he was deeply grateful to his teacher. Personally leading a group aboard the Dolmabahçe, Charlot escorted Juno Arthur. They watched as the teacher’s Swan Lake di...

Chapter 531: Mecklenburg! Its Guardian Divinity, the Great Serpent of Fate

Charlot Mecklenburg’s Radiant Holy Kingdom reappeared outside Black Phoenix City. Princess Annie couldn’t help but exclaim, “I want to ascend to the Saint rank too.”

Clair Bretagne, fully aware of his cousin’s extraordinary potential, thought to himself, “Though Annie works hard, her natural talent makes it almost impossible to reach the Saint rank without at least thirty years of relentless effort. Even then, success remains uncertain…”

He glanced at Ebner Soumet,...

Volume 3 - Chapter 137: A Single Sword - Part 2

The gust of wind swept through, spreading along the divine sword and surging into the towering dharma form.

Standing at the forefront of the dharma form’s chest, the Haoyue Holy Son suddenly sensed a gentle sword intent. It carried no killing intent, no sharp edge, yet like the wind, it was elusive and indistinguishable.

Shock and fury surfaced in his eyes as he roared, using his dao domain to suppress it.

Howe...

Volume 3 - Chapter 137: A Single Sword - Part 1

In the silence, countless eyes widened, fixed on the figure holding a gleaming azure sword on the battle platform.

One astonished gaze after another gathered on the young man.

Jiang Yingyue froze in place. Lin Shanhai and the many alchemists who were familiar with Li Hao were also dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief at the scene before them.

On the high platform, Yao Zu was stunned. Her eyes showed a hint ...

Chapter 288: The True Core of the French Cabinet

East Wing of the Palace of Versailles, meeting hall.

Queen Marie Antoinette, seated at the head of the meeting table, was evidently in high spirits. On the one hand, the recent days of song and dance competitions had left her feeling relaxed. However, the most significant reason was the report from the Minister of Foreign Affairs yesterday: the British government had agreed to arrest Jeanne and extradite her back to France....

Chapter 287: The Cheerful People of France

Joseph rubbed his ears and set down the draft of the "Franco-Austrian Trade Agreement", frowning as he looked toward the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

The windows were tightly shut, yet they couldn't block out the tsunami-like cheers surging from the Versailles Palace Square.

He suddenly recalled that today marked the finals of the Star of France, and he shook his head as he stood up. It seemed he would have to move to ...

Chapter 280: The Pillar of the Nation

Around 10:30 PM the next day, Charles returned to his dormitory after finishing work, as usual. He planned to read for a while before going to bed.

In modern times, Charles didn’t particularly enjoy reading; he usually scrolled through his phone. But in this era, it seemed that books were the only form of bedtime entertainment.

As Charles felt his eyelids grow heavy and drowsiness overtook him, the sudden soun...

Chapter 279: The Pressure of Public Opinion

Returning to the headquarters, Charles was surprised to find that Gallieni was not at his desk.

"Is the general still at the Chamber of Deputies?" Charles asked Colonel Fernand.

"No, he's already back." Colonel Fernand gestured toward the lounge with a look of both anger and worry on his face. "They 'tortured' the general for over two hours. It seems that his old injury has flared up again."

Charles ...

Chapter 530: Gifts and Extras

Charlot Mecklenburg said indifferently, “You attack my territory and try to steal my beloved. What else could we possibly have to discuss?”

Mocher hesitated before replying, “It was Avish and Monteblanc who had such thoughts of dividing your woman. Those who shared their ideas have already fled. The rest of us merely wish to settle on the Old Continent.”

Charlot smiled faintly and asked, “Settle, as in by attacking my territory?”

Mocher responded, “We are willi...

Chapter 529: The Division of the New Continent Council

“She wants to be your sister,” Princess Annie remarked.

Charlot Mecklenburg was taken aback, a headache surging instantly!

His first thought was, Count Gallanord couldn’t possibly let his daughter change her surname to Mecklenburg!

Sophia Gallanord’s delicate face flushed slightly, but she quickly refuted with firm resolve, saying, “I will not...”

Meanwhile, Emilia Mecklenburg bared her pristine white teeth in a threatening manner!

Sophia ignored the ...

Volume 3 - Chapter 136: That Sword Illuminated the Entire Sacred Mountain

When her dao embryo was shattered, Lin Qingying felt as though her internal organs had been hollowed out. The searing pain tore into the depths of her soul, yet she gritted her teeth and refused to cry out, unwilling to grant her opponent the satisfaction.

If her master were here, he would surely sense the anomaly. There was still hope for her.

Her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked toward ...

Li Hao looked at the woman sitting alone in the courtyard. Today, she wasn’t meditating on swordsmanship but instead staring blankly at the bright moon.

Carrying a plate of snacks, Li Hao walked over and sat beside her, smiling as he said, “Don’t stress too much. Have something to eat.”

Lin Qingying withdrew her gaze from the moon, turning to look at Li Hao. Her eyes lingered on hi...

Chapter 286: The Brabant Uprising

When Kampelen heard the word "Brabant," he immediately straightened in his seat and exchanged a glance with the Dutch diplomat beside him.

The latter quickly gestured for the servants to leave and shut the doors tightly.

Only then did Kampelen cautiously say, "Marquis, in truth, the Brabant rebellion has nothing to do with the Netherlands."

The British Foreign Minister nodded. "Indeed, it has no connection. Vandernoot has not ...

Chapter 285: Opening a New Curtain

It wasn’t due to cowardice, but the French Navy was genuinely no match for the British.

Years ago, in support of American independence, the French fleet forced itself into confrontations with the British in the Caribbean. The result was disastrous, leaving them battered and humiliated, losing much of their control over the Caribbean. In the end, to retain their sugar-producing colony of Saint-Domingue (later known as H...

Chapter 278: Charles' Toy

While Gallieni was struggling to handle the pressure from the MPs in the National Assembly, Charles was meeting Wells in a conference room at the Ritz Hotel.

This was Charles' first meeting with Wells.

Wells appeared troubled, and he stared expressionlessly at Charles sitting across from him. The young man before him seemed no different from an ordinary person, his face even showing traces of youth.

If it weren’t fo...

Chapter 277: The Ancestor of the Landing Ship

By mid-February, the temperature had risen, and the ice and snow began to melt.

This year's heavy snow came early and stayed late, an unusual climate pattern that brought a significant flood to Paris. The "first river of Paris," the Seine, rose dramatically, and parts of the riverbanks were submerged.

Near the Eiffel Tower, the famous "Joffre's Soldier" statue on the Alma Bridge was already submerged by ...

Chapter 528: Sixty Shares of the Joy of Fate—Truly Worth It

Annie Bretagne and Sophia Gallanord stood atop the city walls. Neither was a Saint rank, so neither could join the battle. Their emotions, however, were complex.

Sophia Gallanord felt a mix of guilt and relief. While she harbored some embarrassment, there was a faint sense of lightness in her heart.

Annie’s emotions, on the other hand, were far more conflicted. She even briefly entertained the thought of kicking Sophia Gallanord off the city wall.

Of course, she would neve...

Chapter 527: The New Weapon—Emilia

The Radiant Holy Kingdom dived beneath the ocean waves, and the Emilia Mecklenburg disappeared! With its two primary targets gone, the Evil God Aruhet Samsusu turned without hesitation toward Black Phoenix City.

Its immense form towered over the surrounding ocean, like a colossal wave about to crash into the city.

Charlot Mecklenburg's expression shifted slightly. Inside Black Phoenix City was Princess Annie. He could not tolerate anyone harming her.

Charlot glanced at the N...
