Chapter 82: Daxia Sword Immortal!
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
A night passed by.
Early in the morning, Yi Tianba brought Su Yang into the imperial palace, waiting in a side hall for summons.
In the main hall, Xia Xuan sat on the dragon throne, scanning the people below.
After going through the usual proceedings, Xia Xuan quickly began discussing the topic of the day.
What was discussed earlier was not as important as what was about to be discussed.
“Do the esteemed ministers know that the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect that ravaged Lingshan Province has been dealt with?” Xia Xuan spoke, but there was silence below, fortunately some knew the situation.
“Your Majesty, I’m aware. A Sword Immortal intervened, wiping out many demonic cultivators, restoring peace to Ling Mountain Province,” Su Fu answered from below.
“Correct, it was indeed a Sword Immortal who intervened. This Sword
Immortal is a member of the Martial Suppression Division in Tianfeng
Prefecture, and is a prodigy of our Daxia, serving as an inspector in Tianfeng Prefecture. It’s a pity to waste such talent. Seizing this opportunity, I shall reward him!”
“Summon Su Yang into the hall!”
As Xia Xuan finished speaking, most of the officials present were in a daze. They didn’t understand what had happened.
Some of the clever ones, however, thought about Xia Xuan’s recent change in mood.
Perhaps… the reason for the Emperor’s recent happiness was related to this.
Sword Immortal… that must be a cultivator in the Celestial Realm.
Daxia producing a cultivator in the Celestial Realm was greatly relieving for the current situation, and it was indeed worth celebrating.
However, who broke through to the Celestial Realm in Ling Mountain Province?
The civil and military officials pondered, considering suitable candidates.
They thought and thought, but they couldn’t come up with anyone who could achieve that breakthrough at this time.
But when Su Yang walked into the hall, everyone was stunned.
Who is this?
Leaving aside never having seen him before.
But saying this young junior was a Celestial Realm Sword Immortal was another matter.
Judging by his appearance, he was at most in his early twenties.
The civil and military officials looked towards the back, but there was no one there.
This…
“I, Su Yang, pay my respects to Your Majesty.” Su Yang didn’t kneel or bow; he just gave a slight bow.
Without mentioning his status, his strength alone was enough.
Above Grandmaster level, one didn’t need to kneel when meeting the Emperor. “No need for formalities. I am aware of your actions in Tianfeng Prefecture.”
“By eliminating the turmoil caused by the Evil Blood Cultivation Sect, you saved countless lives from turmoil and danger. This deserves reward.”
“Knowing that you’ve already reached the level of Sword Immortal, I shall bestow upon you the title of ‘Daxia Sword Immortal’!”
“Furthermore, I shall appoint you as the ‘Heavenly Supervisor,’ overseeing the Martial Suppression Division and the Inspection Department, enabling you to oversee the entire realm. When encountering corrupt officials, the greedy and heartless, you can execute them on the spot!”
“I’ll also grant you ten Daxia Treasure Tokens, a million merits in Daxia, a mansion in the capital city, and one hundred thousand gold ingots.”
“Do you find this satisfactory, Sword Immortal Su?” Xia Xuan concluded in one breath.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Su Yang was naturally satisfied with this.
The official position alone would be a great help to him; being the Heavenly Supervisor meant overseeing the realm.
As for the other rewards, Su Yang remained calm.
He was quite composed about this. However, the civil and military officials in the hall were anything but composed.
A mansion and gold didn’t mean much to them.
But the Daxia Treasure Tokens and a million merits were extraordinary.
Daxia Treasury Tokens could be used to enter the Daxia Treasury and choose an item.
Now, there were ten of them.
Daxia merits, even a point of it, could match a hundred points in the Martial Suppression Division and, most importantly, could be used to exchange for items in the Daxia Treasury, far surpassing the division’s treasury. All those in the Celestial Realm would be enticed by these rewards.
Though everyone was uneasy, no one dared to speak up.
Because they didn’t understand Su Yang, they knew nothing about his background, not even a hint of his background.
If he was an enemy, they would have stepped forward and advised the Emperor against this.
Where did he come from?
The morning court continued, but everyone’s attention had shifted away from it.
Su Yang had returned to the side hall.
At this moment, the world in his eyes had undergone a tremendous change.
Through the interface, he could see a layer of haze shrouding the sky.
At the same time, countless tasks appeared on his interface.
It was quite overwhelming, so Su Yang mentally filtered out most, focusing on the main parts and merging where possible to form a larger task.

This was Su Yang’s latest interface.
The level of tasks was determined by the desires of the common people.
It was clear that the most important task for the people was justice.
It had reached level 100.
Wanting to make the world fairer, treating the commoners better, was the ultimate goal.
Su Yang had thought about how to solve these issues, how to manage them.
The most crucial aspect was having a group of powerful subordinates to handle things, to suppress any unfairness.
These subordinates must be powerful enough to not be tempted by the average things that people could offer.
This way, their greed wouldn’t be triggered.
But it couldn’t be a constant use of power. Too much pressure could lead to problems.
There needed to be guidance, so that cultivators would fight for resources, for opportunities.
To resolve internal conflicts, it was necessary to direct them outward.
So… Su Yang wanted to explore whether there were other worlds apart from Daxia.
Since the Heavenly Immortal Sect came from outside, there must be other worlds.
If he could find other worlds without human inhabitants and establish connections with them,
He could solve most of the problems of resource competition within Daxia.
With more resources, people wouldn’t need to fight over them, and cultivators wouldn’t exploit the commoners as much.
Thus, the commoners could break free from being puppets of others.
As for the conflicts and battles between cultivators,
Those Su Yang couldn’t manage, nor would he try.
What he could do was make the lives of commoners better, stop them from being treated like ants by cultivators, and prevent their oppression.
Most of the oppression among commoners was due to the pursuit of land, wealth, and the desire for a better life.
However, when everyone had these things, oppression would decrease.
Combined with a powerful Martial Suppression Division, these issues would diminish further.
But those were secondary matters.
Order must be guarded by a powerful martial institution.
Principles were the framework of order; strength was its cornerstone.
As the morning court continued, Su Yang remained present.
A eunuch accompanying him informed him that the Emperor would meet with him later.
Subsequently, Su Yang entered the inner palace and had an in-depth discussion with Xia Xuan.
After thorough exchange, Su Yang was very satisfied with Xia Xuan.
Xia Xuan was a qualified Emperor; he just lacked martial strength.
They discussed many matters.
The general outcome was that Su Yang obtained a list of corrupt officials, treacherous figures, and powerful aristocratic families that were meant to be dealt with. These people relied on their strength to oppress the common people and exploited them without mercy.
Some even conspired with demonic cultivators, without any scruples, solely to gain more benefits for themselves.
For those listed, Su Yang had the authority to execute them; Xia Xuan would handle the aftermath.
He only needed to inform Xia Xuan of whom he intended to eliminate before taking action.
Simultaneously, Su Yang also received a Heavenly Token, allowing him to communicate with Xia Xuan anywhere in Daxia..
