Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate
Chapter 775 - 712 Congratulations, Regent

The Invincible Dharma King, Li Weiliang, learned of Lin Hao being appointed as the Regent of Great Song slightly later, about eight hours after the fact.

At that moment, she was discussing the state of the Beicheng District battle with her subordinates. Upon hearing the news, she was briefly stunned, then let out a bitter smile, thinking that the Great Song Duke was indeed justified in his refusal to join the Light God Sect as the 'King Ming.'

Li Weiliang pondered that if he hadn't inherited the 'Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire,' it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the Emperor of Great Song.

Moreover, that man has already reached the Seventh Realm! Such rapid cultivation speed.

'Holy Fire Tribulation Thunder' and 'Radiant Holy Altar' in his hands would undoubtedly enhance his divine might.

Li Weiliang, despite priding herself on her magnanimity, couldn't help but furrow her brows deeply when thinking about Lin Hao's terrifying talent and the three Divine Artifacts he possessed.

The future 'King Ming' will definitely reclaim his authority step by step. Can she achieve her goal before 'King Ming' becomes the true King Ming?

Present at the meeting were Divine Sword Dharma King Shi Jue, Heavenly Blade Dharma King Wu Wushuang, Skull Mechanic Heavenly Monarch Li Guchan, Hundred Wings Saber King Situ Leng, along with more than twenty Red Priests and Red Robed Master Priests.

—Their cultivation levels ranged from the Eighth to Ninth Realm, all possessing immense combat prowess, the sort forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Li Weiliang had been battling against Cheng Country in Beicheng District for nearly half a year, steadily growing her reputation and military power. A faction centered around her had already formed.

When they heard that Song Taizu had rescued the 'Undying Dragon Monster,' and Lin Hao was appointed as the Regent of Great Song, they were only slightly surprised, and soon began mocking and gloating cynically.

In the face of Great Song's formidable enemies, Song Taizu personally sabotaged his dynasty by appointing a mere Seventh Realm greenhorn as Regent. The coming days for Great Song seemed bleak. That figure in East Abyss was likely already in utter confusion, unable to sleep or eat peacefully, hence the decision to commission such a young and inexperienced individual.

After they had discussed the matter for some time, the conversation shifted to internal affairs within the sect. They worried about 'King Ming's' steadily growing influence among the grassroots followers of the sect.

The new 'King Ming' hadn't done anything significant since his ascension. He merely sat at the altar during routine ceremonies and occasionally lectured on intermediate and foundational martial arts cultivation in the sect. Yet, he gained tremendous support from the sect's Priests, which was then disseminated further to the grassroots followers through these same Priests. Now, his influence within the sect far surpassed that of the Invincible Dharma King, who had been risking her life for the sect for nearly half a year in direct confrontation with Cheng Country, leaving many of them resentful.

Recently, 'King Ming' seemed to have gained the support of Judge Divine Envoy Zhuang Fatian. The reason was his unwavering assistance, over the past three months, in Zhuang Fatian's efforts to purge corruption and excess power within the sect. Whenever the Judgement Holy Hall made a request, as long as there was concrete evidence, 'King Ming' approved without exception.

It was said that even when confronted and pressured by Deputy Sect Leader Wanyan Layman, this figure didn't yield in the slightest.

Later, Judge Divine Envoy Zhuang Fatian personally told a few trusted subordinates: "Since ascending the throne, King Ming's actions have been both righteous and impartial, every decision governed by fairness and justice. Truly, he is a blessing to our Divine Sect."

The issue, however, was that the Judgement Holy Hall's ability to take down several Red Priests ultimately depended on the threat posed by the Invincible Dharma King, leaving Wanyan Layman unwilling to break ties with the Divine Sect Headquarters, nor take any action against King Ming. As a result, all the benefits and reputation ended up accruing to King Ming.

They then discussed 'King Ming's' underground farm project.

The Light God Sect Headquarters housed nearly a million people, a large population with many mouths to feed. Thus, the project to build an underground farm at the Headquarters spread rapidly and widely within the sect, becoming a hot topic.

However, the exact location of the underground farm beneath Headquarters was kept secret, known only to a scant handful of individuals within the sect.

The Headquarters' underground farm, situated 9,000 miles deep below the surface, was built from a modified 'Stellar-Class' colonial battleship gifted by the Heavenly Demon. Entry and exit relied on pre-configured docking points accessible via small Quantum Migration Devices. As long as the sect's internal location remained unexposed, not even divine consciousness could pierce the layers of earth to pinpoint their exact whereabouts.

Regarding the underground farm, Li Weiliang was also very concerned.

'King Ming' had sent several Flying Books about this matter, consulting her regarding the plan.

He even proposed looking to Heavenly Demon for funding through 'loans' to construct more improved 'Stellar-Class' colonial battleships, aiming to expand the scale of the farm to its absolute maximum, and hoped for her full support as Regent Deputy Sect Leader.

"Guchan, you've seen their farm at Headquarters, right? What's your opinion? Can this project be successful?"

Skull Mechanic Heavenly Monarch Li Guchan had returned to Beicheng District just a day prior; he had been at Headquarters earlier, modifying and enhancing 'King Ming's' 'Hidden Dragon' Battle Armor.

His brows furrowed, and his gaunt face showed a serious expression: "I think it can succeed! Actually, the first batch of Spiritual Medicine planted in the five layers of the underground farm at Headquarters has already reached maturity and will soon be harvested. King Ming chose 'Lighting Blood' and 'Longevity King Grass' as the crops—they are of excellent quality. Shancai Divine Envoy estimates that this harvest alone could sell for 3 million taels of Magic Silver."

'Lighting Blood' and 'Longevity King Grass' are both intermediate-grade medicinal herbs with high demand. They grow quickly and, with ample lighting and exposure to high concentrations of Ether Element Power, their growth rate is especially fast.

Li Guchan's words instantly caused an uproar among those present.

Even the Invincible Dharma King, Li Weiliang, couldn't help but focus her gaze sharply. Three million taels of Magic Silver—that amounts to three billion federal coins, enough to buy a second-hand Guardian Battleship.

The underground farm spanning five layers within Headquarters is so small in area. Yet, in less than four months of planting, it can generate such immense profits?
