Chapter 256: Chapter 134: Daqi Celestial Dynasty (Part 2)
Amidst the billowing dust and smoke, a pair of eyes flared like scorching suns. A beast a thousand feet tall, shaped like a Flood Dragon yet with the form of a steed and covered in Scale Armor, stepped into the Imperial City.
The gates of the sprawling, hundred-li Imperial City stood a hundred feet tall, yet they were insignificant before this Flood Dragon-horse. Even the Imperial City itself seemed to grovel before it, not daring to make the slightest stir.
This colossal Flood Dragon-horse was already a terrifying Great Demon comparable to the Core Formation Realm.
Atop the colossal Flood Dragon-horse’s head sat a White-clothed Sword Immortal, cross-legged. His eyes were covered by a white cloth, and his long, black-and-white hair fluttered in the wind.
A furious gale blasted against the four Cloud Summit Pavilions, forcing the Four Great Masters out at once.
"Heh heh! Fellow Daoist Sword, you’ve arrived right on time."
The Mechanical Elder stroked his beard and smiled.
"The Great Li Sword Sect already has you, Fellow Daoist Sword. You came from the Small Human World and in less than fifteen years of cultivation, you’ve already secured a mid-tier spot among the Ten Masters. With your limitless future potential, surely you won’t be competing with our Sects—which are suffering a talent gap—for this Nine-Life Celestial Pride, will you?"
The charming, beautiful woman from the Demon Profound Sect covered her mouth, giggling.
"Is this the Evil Flood Dragon that devoured all the creatures of an entire nation? It is truly formidable."
The Daoist from the Sun and Moon Daoist Sect cradled his Treasure Pearl as he observed the steed.
Only Red Fire Master of the Profound Celestial Sect remained silent, his expression grim. He stared coldly at this Little Sword Master from the Great Li Sword Sect.
The Profound Celestial Sect had always been number one in the Eastern Domain, far surpassing the other Four Great Sects. In this generation, however, there were faint signs that the Great Li Sword Sect was about to overtake them.
Before, there was the equally brilliant and talented Confucian Sword Immortal, who was capable of suppressing this Little Sword Master.
Unfortunately, the Confucian Sword Immortal was dead.
After emerging from the Small Human World and joining the Great Li Sword Sect, this Little Sword Master formed his True Core in a mere fifteen years. With his Innate Divine Technique, Heavenly Slash and Sword Pulling, he fought his way into the ranks of the Ten Masters while only in the Core Formation Realm—a terrifying accomplishment.
"Little Sword Master."
"Tsk."
"That name is just awful."
"The matter of destiny is profound and mysterious. Aren’t you afraid of affecting your own fortune, Fellow Daoist, and truly becoming a *little* Sword Master?"
Red Fire Master sneered.
In response, the Little Sword Master shook his head.
"Let it be awful, then."
"I once met a man of peerless talent. Ever since I witnessed his sword, even after fifteen years, I know that my own aptitude in the Sword Dao is shallow. Thus, I only dare to call myself the Little Sword Master."
Hearing this, the expressions of the Four Great Masters changed slightly.
Evidently, even they, as Masters, were not permitted to speak freely of the person the Little Sword Master mentioned, for fear that the Extreme Dao Heaven would sense it and break the seal of the Severed Communication.
Around fifteen years ago, that Extreme Realm True Dragon had been a Nightmare for the leaders of the Five Great Sects, haunting even their dreams.
"Heh heh, but thankfully, the heavens have not forsaken our Eastern Domain’s Immortal Dao. We, too, have produced a Nine-Life Celestial Pride. I imagine that even that Extreme Realm True Dragon might not be his match..."
Red Fire Master stroked his beard with a smile, looking particularly smug.
He had seized the initiative.
He had roped in Emperor Tianqi!
With the Profound Celestial Sect’s reputation as the number one sect in the Eastern Domain, wasn’t this Nine-Life Celestial Pride practically in the bag? He would surely join the Profound Celestial Sect.
At that moment, Su Chen, inside the Book Collection Martial Pavilion, was still unaware that he was the cause of the great commotion outside.
’It’s almost ready!’
BOOM!
Under the ripening effect of the Longevity Blood, another brand-new Hundred-Year Spirit Medicine was born.
Then, without stopping, he found a Medicine Cauldron and prepared to concoct the terrifying Great Medicine rumored to be able to corrode a Golden Core.
Before long, the Medicine Cauldron shattered. It couldn’t withstand the properties of the Poison Dao Spirit Medicines and instantly broke into pieces.
’Tricky.’
’Just this one last step.’
’I’ve got it.’
Su Chen pulled out the Burial Coffin again and sealed the Spirit Medicines inside one by one. After forty-nine days, he would be able to obtain the legendary Great Medicine.
Only then did Su Chen have a moment to turn his attention outside the Book Collection Martial Pavilion. He saw the five Masters on the Cloud Peaks.
He also saw the Imperial City, decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
And a red-carpeted street stretching from the Imperial Palace to beyond the Imperial City. In the distance, a magnificent procession of carriages, stretching for a hundred li, was arriving at the Imperial Capital from Youx Province.
Just then, listening to the discussions coming from the Imperial Palace, Su Chen finally learned what was happening.
Today was the great wedding of Emperor Tianqi, also known as Snow. He was marrying the daughter of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Jin.
"Tributor Chu, you’re finally out!"
At the Book Collection Martial Pavilion, a Chief Eunuch scrambled forward to greet him, tears of excitement streaming down his face.
"You’ve worried me to death!"
"It is Your Majesty’s grand wedding, and he specifically requested your presence by his side! You’re finally out! I have been waiting here for half a day."
"His Majesty is still at the Palace Gate, waiting for you."
Hearing this, Su Chen’s eyes flickered.
He subconsciously looked up at the Daqi dragon’s fortune above. At this moment, the fortune was churning, showing faint signs of transforming into a dragon and soaring through the Nine Heavens.
Even though Su Chen didn’t understand the so-called path of a Dynasty’s fortune, he could see clearly that something major was likely to happen today.
’Is he finally going to walk this path?’ Su Chen wondered.
Perhaps after today, Daqi would change its status and become a Dynasty.
And then, the Five Great Sects would frantically gather all their strength to strangle this successor to the Great Xuan Celestial Dynasty in the cradle.
’So, what is Snow’s source of confidence?’
"Void," Su Chen murmured, "your son is even more ambitious than you were."
The young Jie, high-spirited and daring, wanted to step onto the path of Royal Race cultivation, to stand on a mountain peak and gaze down upon the world.
The later Void, burdened by Zhuo, only wanted to fulfill the promise made a thousand years ago to return home together.
His son, however, wants to turn the world of this Eastern Domain upside down!
