Chapter 501: Chapter 501
Across the Middle Region, East Border, West Border, South Territory, and North Territory, trillions of Martial Artists pushed their movement techniques to the absolute limit, rushing towards regions teeming with abundant Fortune. They all feared arriving late and finding no space left. The boons of Fortune from Heaven and Earth were sure to be greatest in areas where Fortune was most concentrated, promising ever-increasing benefits. This singular opportunity stood to change their entire lives! No one wished to miss such a chance. The Martial Artists of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court were no exception.
Surveying the more than six hundred Tao Domains within the East Border, the East Ancient Domain, as the region surrounding the Imperial Capital, was exceptionally rich in Fortune. Unquestionably, the area with the most concentrated Fortune was the Imperial Capital City itself. Countless Martial Artists surged into the East Ancient Domain from every direction, like a massive school of fish migrating across a river, all hoping to enter the Imperial Capital City. Those who couldn’t secure entry occupied the mountains and rivers outside the city, carving out cultivation abodes or even commandeering official roads, throwing the East Ancient Domain into a state of disarray.
Ultimately, the imperial court had to intervene directly. They established dozens of cultivation grounds within the East Ancient Domain, capable of accommodating billions for their practice. Furthermore, to maximize the benefits from the bestowed Fortune, Qin Wudao decreed that one million elite soldiers be selected from the various major legions to cultivate within the Imperial Capital City. Once the court’s needs were met, exceptionally talented civilians and promising young powerhouses were also permitted entry into the Imperial Capital City. As for Qin Wudao and his courtiers, they entered the fragments of the Immortal Realm to pursue their cultivation.
"I decree: the Great Wall shall be sealed!"
"I decree: all major ports shall close their spatial passageways, and the Tao Domains in the East Border shall be locked down!"
"I decree: during this period of Heaven and Earth’s bestowal of Fortune, no subject of the Great Qin Dynasty shall cause disturbances. Violators will be executed without mercy!"
Once all arrangements were complete, Qin Wudao, empowered by Fortune, issued his stern commands. His resonant voice, like a clap of thunder, echoed across the skies of the East Border.
"Your servant obeys!" At Looking-West City, Liu Zhiyan, clad in green official robes and bearing a solemn expression, bowed respectfully before personally closing the spatial passageway that connected to the Middle Region. Since joining the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court, he had diligently studied the arts of governance under Guo Jia. Following the establishment of Confucianism, Liu Zhiyan integrated his vast learning with Confucian principles, distinguishing himself as one of the thirty-six Confucian scholars and emerging as a prominent figure among the younger generation. Three months prior, Qin Wudao had appointed him City Lord of Looking-West City.
"The command is received!" Along the Great Wall, Qin Flags fluttered as countless border guards knelt on one knee, sealing the ancient bulwark.
"The Kylin Tao Domain acknowledges the command!"
"The Grand Illumination Tao Domain acknowledges the command!"
"The Yellow Sky Tao Domain acknowledges the command..."
The Protectors of over six hundred Tao Domains hovered in the air. Each was at the peak of the Nine-Turns Saint King Realm, dressed in black court attire, and wielding an official seal. The Power of Fortune pulsed around them as they activated their respective Tao Domain Formations. Winds surged and clouds gathered, spiritual light illuminating the Heavenly Universe! One after another, intricate Formations materialized, blanketing the major Tao Domains, ensuring an absolutely safe cultivation environment for the Qin Martial Artists while this boon from Heaven and Earth unfolded.
「The Saint’s Court of Taiyi!」
Within a lavish palace, Sima Yi, robed in purple, sat upon the Taishi Chair. He exuded an innate authority, commanding respect without any display of anger.
Once this great boon of Fortune from Heaven and Earth has ended, we can implement the plan! Sima Yi gazed towards the royal palace, a cold glint in his eyes and a chilling smile on his lips. Over the years, through a combination of overt and covert maneuvers with Zhang Jiao, he had gained control over a significant portion of the Saint’s Court of Taiyi’s power, ready to raise the banner of rebellion and seize control at any moment.
Meanwhile, within the Dream Fantasy Sect, a subsidiary power of the Saint’s Court of Taiyi, Zhang Jiao, attired in Taoist robes with an ancient tome balanced on his head, was diligently cultivating the Dao of Peace. The distinct aura of the Great Emperor Realm emanated from him.
「Beast God Tao Domain.」
The Demon Emperor sat upon his imperial chair, his voice resonant as he commanded, "Convey my order! Awaken the First Ancestor!" Behind him, a ten-thousand-zhang phantom manifested—jackal-bodied with a dragon’s head, a divine sword in its maw. Its eyes were crimson, and its surging demonic aura was violent and bloodthirsty.
"We shall obey the Emperor’s decree!" Within the Stone Palace, more than ten high-ranking clan officials bowed in deference before riding demonic clouds towards their ancestral lands.
The exotic tribes shall rise anew! The Demon Emperor slowly rose and, with a single step, flew towards the forbidden area. A moment later, he arrived at the heart of the untamed wilderness. Here stood a colossal mountain shaped like a dragon’s head, ten thousand zhang tall, exuding a noble demonic aura that compelled submission. For thousands of miles around, an absolute, deathly silence reigned, devoid of any sign of life.
"Father Emperor, the great era has arrived! It is time for you, the magnificent one, to awaken!" The Demon Emperor walked to the base of the colossal mountain and knelt. Biting his finger, he let a drop of golden blood, within which a dragon’s shadow and a jackal’s shadow intertwined, fall upon the mountainside.
Upon absorbing the blood, the dragon-shaped mountain began to tremble violently. Countless fissures spiderwebbed across its surface as a potent demonic aura billowed forth, as if some terrifying entity was about to burst free. Boulders cascaded down, and dust plumed into the air, obscuring the Heavenly Universe.
A few minutes later, a world-shattering dragon roar thundered through the skies of the Middle Region, its force shattering millions of miles of the Changkong. An ancient and noble dragon might erupted from the crumbling mountain, its pressure suppressing the nine heavens, causing the very earth to tremble, mountains to collapse, and innumerable ancient trees to turn to ash. Countless members of the exotic tribes prostrated themselves, the instinctive bloodline pressure filling them with awe and reverence.
Once the mountain shattered, the earth’s crust for thousands of miles around began to quake violently! Streaks of azure profound light shot skyward, obscuring the sun, their brilliant radiance threatening to dye the entire world azure. Gazing down from the firmament, one would behold a dragon’s silhouette spanning thousands of miles, its aura powerful enough to move mountains and overturn seas. The awe-inspiring colossal mountain was merely the dragon’s head. The exotic creatures of the Beast God Tao Domain trembled, uncontrollably falling to their knees and kowtowing towards the forbidden land. Myriad races bowed in worship, as if welcoming the advent of the supreme Beast God!
Subsequently, ancient and terrifying auras erupted from the ancestral lands of the Fox Clan, the Ape Clan, the Tiger Clan, and other regions, each surge of power more formidable than the last.
「Western Celestial World.」
Master, once this great boon of Fortune from Heaven and Earth ends, your disciple shall avenge you! In the forbidden land of the Western Celestial World, the Wisdom Absolute Buddha pressed his palms together, his face a mask of compassion for all beings. Yet, upon closer inspection, a surging, murderous intent could be sensed hidden beneath his benevolent facade. Outside the resplendent Great Buddha Temple, three Great Buddhas, hundreds of thousands of Bodhisattvas, millions of Arhats, tens of millions of Ascetic Monks, and countless other Buddhas sat upon Buddha’s lotuses, waiting in silence.
After three years of preparation, the one hundred twenty-three legions under my command are fully formed! Once this great boon of Fortune from Heaven and Earth passes and the soldiers’ strength increases, they will be no weaker than the legions of the Qin Dynasty’s Saint’s Court. Then, it will be time for me to conquer the world! The Soul Heaven Emperor sat upon his throne, gazing at the transfiguring sky with a hint of anticipation. In the mysterious gorge, the black mist still roiled, and the number of powerhouses remained vast. However, unlike before, the sharp glint of world-ending weapons could now be seen among them.
「Other Major Powers.」
The Ninth Heaven Saint’s Court, the Saint Heaven Institute, the Demon Saint Temple, the Heretic God Sect, and other influential factions all made their own arrangements, awaiting the arrival of the great boon of Fortune from Heaven and Earth.
Suddenly, Heaven and Earth underwent a dramatic transformation! The bodies of the three thousand fortune golden dragons exploded violently. An overwhelming power of Fortune swept across the world, instantly blanketing the entire primitive continent. From the void, boundless blessings descended! Billions of purple lights rained down from the sky! Endless streams of the world’s laws descended!
"ROAR!" ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net
In the next instant, the fortune golden dragons of countless factions let out joyous roars. Like whales devouring water, they eagerly consumed the Fortune permeating Heaven and Earth, simultaneously drawing in the purple lights and the Power of Laws.
