Cheng Ziang had grown accustomed to wandering through Kyushu, or perhaps it was better to say he had grown numb to it.
The Dongsheng Empire was a pieced-together empire, comparable, in its dysfunction, to the so-called Holy Roman Empire, which was neither holy nor Roman.
Yet, regardless, the Dongsheng Empire at the very least had an effective central cabinet system, and it was making a concerted effort. As for its fate, it was still too early to tell.
Deep down, Cheng Ziang harbored a notion: since cultivators posed such endless trouble, why not take decisive action—eliminate all cultivators in Kyushu and the entire Eastern Continent.
Cultivation required both time and resources. If an entire generation of cultivators were exterminated, it would be near impossible to replenish their ranks quickly. Then, relying on powerful military suppression, the empire could ensure that no excessively strong cultivators emerged within its borders.
