Jun Wu Xiao was preparing to go to the palace. Since he wasn’t accompanied by Gu Zhou Jian this ti, he moved swiftly and reached the palace within seconds.
When the guards saw him coming at this ti, they were startled. At that speed, they couldn’t even see his shadow. They felt that the identity of the person in front of them was not simple. One soldier said:
"Senior, is there sothing you need?"
"Indeed, there is. I want to et the current emperor. Do you know where he is right now?" Jun Wu Xiao replied.
There was a rule that the guards had to follow: if a very powerful cultivator arrived, they shouldn’t be obstructed and could et whoever they wanted.
This rule wasn’t unreasonable because cultivators generally had very calm temperants. Moreover, they were almost all incredibly friendly and indifferent to worldly affairs. Normally, unless it involved the safety of humanity or their family, they wouldn’t leave their place of cultivation.
"Just go straight in that direction. His Majesty is in that area right now. I can’t be certain of his exact location, but he’s definitely in that area." the guard said.
"Thank you." Jun Wu Xiao nodded, thanked the guard, and then left.
Finding the emperor wasn’t really difficult. In any era, the emperor’s attire was always distinctive. Therefore, seeing soone dressed unusually and looking noble, there was a 99% chance it was the emperor. If mistaken, they could simply look for soone else matching the sa criteria.
After all, this wasn’t a chaotic ti where the emperor needed to conceal his identity. Thus, his attire was naturally very prominent.
The emperor while working, suddenly noticed soone entering without a word. With his years of experience as an emperor, he knew this behavior was characteristic of high-level cultivators.
It wasn’t that they disrespected the emperor, but in their eyes, many formalities were truly unnecessary. Another reason is because they haven’t been in contact with society for so long that they forget these rituals.
Besides, the reason a high-level cultivator would visit the emperor was extrely rare, perhaps not even once in a decade. So maybe this ti there was an important matter that was why that person ca to see him.
The emperor looked at the bag Jun Wu Xiao was holding and thought:
"Hmm? Books? Could it be that there’s sothing wrong with the content of those books? Although it’s not very clear, the issue likely lies within those books."
"Greetings, Senior. Is it that there’s a problem with those books?" the emperor asked.
Jun Wu Xiao, hearing this, imdiately confird that the emperor had excellent observational skills. He nodded and said:
"Exactly, I ca here because of these books. I know these books are ant for entertainnt, and their content is fictional. However, we cannot allow these erroneous concepts about cultivation and life to exist. Moreover, the personalities of the characters in these stories are problematic. They all possess traits that are detrintal to the developnt of human civilization.
Achieving the unification of humanity as it is today was not an easy task. The previous generations tirelessly worked to bring humanity together. What you need to do now is to ensure that, from the bottom of people’s hearts, humans truly live for humanity. But why do these disgraceful things exist?
Don’t tell that these are just for entertainnt and don’t encourage people to follow them. Damn it, this is fundantally a seed of corruption planted in the minds of the readers.
The readers may not gain the powers depicted in the stories, but they can certainly adopt the characters’ ideologies. A small instability in one place can spread everywhere, like the dangerous power of the butterfly effect.
Literature exists to bring value to people, to help society progress. It must also convey humanistic values and the spirit of unity and advancent. Allowing a pile of idiotic trash to exist in this world is a self-destructive act. How do you think this should be resolved?"
Jun Wu Xiao spoke continuously for a while, causing the emperor to feel a slight headache. The current policy on literature and art was indeed very liberal, allowing anything as long as it didn’t violate traditional customs.
However, this could indeed be considered an issue. Previously, they had only seen it as a minor problem and didn’t pay much attention, viewing stories rely as tools for entertainnt without any particular importance.
After thinking for a while, the emperor said:
"Now, the death penalty is no longer part of the law. After all, a swift release doesn’t deserve to be called a punishnt. Being in that box is much more terrifying. So, let’s do it this way.
Any author who dares to write works with immoral elents, against human solidarity, propagandizing wrong things, and creating characters with views that deviate from social standards, shall be sentenced to ten years in prison. There is no possibility of a reduced sentence. Do you think this solution is acceptable?"
Beyond satisfaction, Jun Wu Xiao had no other words to describe this situation. Quick and decisive, he appreciated the emperor’s working style. He smiled and said:
"Good, that’s all I needed to address. But it would be best to act swiftly because those foolish individuals really irritate . They are completely unworthy of being human with such thoughts in their heads. It’s best I never see such things again. If I see it one more ti, I will execute everyone who produces such foolish works."
Although he spoke in a very friendly tone, the emperor was not stupid. He understood that Jun Wu Xiao ant: "It’s best to handle this quickly. Don’t consider this a small matter but take it slowly."
Jun Wu Xiao didn’t necessarily distrust the emperor, but he acted this way to expedite the process. After all, as long as a spark still burns, one day it could set the entire forest on fire, making it extrely difficult to extinguish, and worst of all, the forest could be completely burned down.
"Remove everything like this for . Anyone who opposes is imprisoned them. If they dare to resist further, inform , and I’ll co and kill a bunch of beings born human but unworthy to be human." He said, leaving the bag containing the works he deed foolish for the emperor to review, then departed.
The emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed:
"Tsk, if I had known this would happen, I would have banned such works outright. Though this is a small matter, he’s not wrong. As long as a spark still burns, one day it could create a wildfire that burns down the entire forest."
