The First Cultivator - Changing Existence - Chapter 727

Chapter 727: Magical – 727 Chapter 727: Magical – 727 “Not long after, the Faceless Empire changed.

From a state of slow decline, it began to grow explosively.

Sword Master Shang made his appearance as a once in history genius of the sword, the economy flourished, then the Emperor of the Faceless Empire, for the first time in generations, made a public appearance.

From then on, the Faceless Empire changed.

Being called the Faceless Empire no longer makes any sense, but it would be a bit much to change the name.” The Imperial Scholar finished, taking a drink of water.

Skymender was completely bewildered.

He had never expected that the Emperor could have such a history.

It was truly legendary beyond measure.  Although some of the story could not be 100% confirmed, such as the Earl of Wu and the Emperor being the same person, it all made sense.

What truly made it a believable story was the fact that the Imperial Family had changed over night.  “Skymender.

I tell you this for two reasons.

One, simply so that you understand who it is you are working with.

Two, so that you can understand why I am so confident that we will win this war.

The Emperor grew from a commoner to the Emperor of one of the two strongest Empires in the world.

It would be hard to believe that we could lose.”  With all of this information shared, Skymender and the Imperial Scholar ate a meal on the top floor of the restaurant he had once owned.

The Fatty did not allow them to pay, and they left without staying for too long.

Both of them returned to the Imperial Palace, where they began to work.

There was a lot to do to manage an Empire, and as the new Imperial Scholar, Skymender had been slacking a bit.

Luckily, with the help of the past Imperial Scholar, he managed to work at twice the speed.  Despite that, the work was never truly done.

Within an entire Empire, there was always something to do.

Skymender also spent a fair amount of time in the throne room, where he would watch and occasionally take place in matters brought before the Emperor.

Some involved groups, while some involved individuals.

He saw people rewarded and punished, and he himself had spoken about the rules of the Empire more than once, affecting life and death decisions of commoners more than once.

He felt like he was like the Imperial Scholar when he had first met him.

Time passed as the Empire experienced temporary peace.

Before he knew it, Skymender turned 21 years old.

Although it wasn’t much of a milestone, he was now firmly rooted in adulthood.

He stood tall, around six foot five inches.

His body was thin, much like a scholars, yet packed with more power than someone thrice his size.

He was blind, but he could see more than most.

The only thing to miss was looking at the sky.

He could still read, but it was quite difficult in most instances.

Thinking about reading made him think about Skymerge.

From what he understood, his disappearance was a complete mystery.

No matter how much investigation occurred, there were no tracks of him.

It reached the point of being beyond abnormal, and reaching the point of being magical.

Thinking of the magical also made him think of the girl that he had met long ago, someone that the crown prince of the Ergen Kingdom had introduced to him.

She had been a potential Sword Master, and she told him the story of a man she saw, who cut apart the sky and uttered his name, Skymender.

He still failed to fully understand everything that had happened around him over his years of life, but he had long put pieces together, and the possibility caused him to not dare even think any further.  There was also what the crown prince had told him long ago.

The Sky doesn’t move, but the world still rotates.

He hadn’t understood it before, but he had an inkling of what it meant now.

After hearing the Imperial Scholars story, he realized that the entire Ergen Kingdom was not what it was like before the Emperor.

The crown prince most likely knew more than the majority of people, perhaps even more than the Imperial Scholar, about the truth of the Emperor.

His words were most likely related to the Emperor, and more specifically, his plan to take over the world.

Surprisingly, even to this day, he didn’t fully understand what it meant or why he had said it to him.

Regardless, he knew he would find out at some point.

Thinking back to the potential Sword Master that the crown prince had shown him, he remembered that she had insisted on following him for a while.

She had been gone for a long time, as Skymender didn’t want her following him around.

As for whether or not she was still paying any attention to him, he did not know.

She was inconsequential to him, unless she became a Sword Master of course.

Most interestingly was the old man she had spoken about, who had destroyed the sky and mended it again.  It was impossible for him to tell whether or not this was true, but that fact that she was clearly convinced meant that either it was true, or she had been poisoned by some very hallucinogenic plant.

If it was a plant, then he could make some sort of poison out of it, and if what she had said had been true, then he could perhaps find something unimaginable.

Regardless, he wanted to go to that mountain and investigate.

It had indeed been a long time, but Skymender wrote a letter to the one known as potential Sword Master Daisy.  It was requesting her to write a letter back, describing how exactly she reached the mountain and where she had seen the old man.

Skymender continued to attend to his affairs as he waited for a response.

Around a week later, he received one.
