Chapter 122

An hour passed quickly.

In the sky.

A loud and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

"The ceremony for the investiture of the Crown Prince shall begin!"

The sound came from afar and then receded into the distance, resounding throughout the land and reaching the ears of everyone present. It then spread with the gentle breeze to even more distant and expansive areas.

Everyone stood up.

They knew this moment had arrived.

This ceremony is very important.

It determined Xiao Minghuang's future status within the Great Xia Dynasty.

This also determined the future of the Great Xia.

Where will this vast nation go under the leadership of this young woman...?

"From this day forward, my ninth daughter, Princess Ziwei Xiao Minghuang, is officially established as the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. May this be proclaimed throughout the land!"

The sound contained a vast and majestic majesty, like celestial music filling the ears, spreading for thousands of miles, and resounding throughout every inch of the Great Emperor Xia.

As the sound faded...

Countless people who heard this voice felt a sense of solemnity and reverence.

"That voice... is it His Majesty?"

"As the ruler of the Great Xia, His Majesty influences the National Destiny. By broadcasting the news of the appointment of the crown Crown Prince throughout the land, the future of our Great Xia is destined to be infinitely bright!"

"I've heard that Princess Ziwei possesses the Five Elements Spiritual Root and is exceptionally talented, surpassing even the most outstanding talents in any sect. If the princess becomes the Crown Prince, the Great Xia Dynasty will surely prosper!"

This moment.

Within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whether they were peddlers, laborers, scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants, the elderly, children, men, women, or children of all ages, they all stopped what they were doing, looked up into the distance, and bowed deeply in the direction of the capital.

May Heaven bless the Great Xia, may its flame burn eternally, and may it endure for ten thousand generations!

"May the princess live a long and prosperous life, Changqing!"

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang's prestige reached its peak.

Not only the officials and ministers present, but also the hundreds of millions of people within the Great Xia territory, all praised Xiao Minghuang's name.

The sound was deafening.

Countless people knelt on the ground in worship.

"I seem to see a Jin Sheng about to begin."

Xia Hanbing stood outside the surging crowd, her eyes slightly moist.

Once upon a time, he stood at the pinnacle of fame, but now, with white hair and a weathered face, his youth is gone.

"A new era has begun..."

The entire venue was shrouded in a hazy light, with rich, colorful clouds spreading like layers of mist. Bright red sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the earth, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty, like a fairyland.

Flowers fell one by one between heaven and earth, and golden lotuses bloomed in profusion, their colors dazzling and petals falling in a colorful display.

The appointment of the Crown Prince has a profound impact on the fate of the Great Xia National Destiny. It is the common wish of hundreds of millions of people, who are celebrating the Crown Prince's impending coronation.

This also signifies that the Mandate of Heaven of Great Xia has officially recognized Xiao Minghuang.

From this day forward, the National Destiny the Great Xia Dynasty rests entirely on her shoulders.

At the same time.

A loud dragon roar suddenly rang out over the capital city.

"Aww~~!"

A golden dragon of destiny soared with its head held high, like a long golden river, flowing mightily forward and rushing into Xiao Minghuang's body.

Golden Dragon of Destiny into his body, Xiao Minghuang immediately felt a wondrous feeling brewing within him, as if some mysterious thing was forming inside him, or as if a shackle had been broken.

At the same time.

The Mountain River Seal, which had been lying quietly in her storage bag, seemed to be summoned, and began to operate on its own, flying into the air and hovering above her head.

Golden light flashed on the small seal, and the mountains, rivers, plants, flowers, birds, fish, insects, beasts, and all kinds of life engraved there seemed to come alive, reflecting one by one in front of Xiao Minghuang.

In a short while, the images disappeared, turning into beams of golden light that hovered above her head and eventually condensed into a golden crown that landed on her head.

"Golden Crown of Destiny!"

Upon seeing the golden crown, Emperor Xia finally couldn't help but blurt out.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked puzzled.

The Emperor Xia wore a hint of envy on his face. Back then, when he was appointed to the throne in a time of crisis, not only was there no blessing from the National Destiny, but not even the slightest sign of good fortune appeared.

"This is the Golden Crown of Destiny, a legendary item that only those with great fortune can condense. Once you wear the Golden Crown of Destiny, you will be blessed with Blessed with Natural Advantages opportunities!"

"Treasures that ordinary cultivators struggle to obtain may be encountered by those with great fortune during their ordinary travels."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped in shock.

As is widely known.

Fortune is fickle; it rises and falls at times.

When the time is right, one can ride the wind and soar straight to the heavens.

When fortune turns against you, you sink into the mud and turn into dust.

However, this Golden Crown of Destiny can suppress fortune, keeping it in a state of constant prosperity. Everything you do will go smoothly, and it can also slowly accumulate fortune, making your own fortune more and more prosperous!

Those who can gather the Golden Crown of Destiny are all unparalleled geniuses, born to hold the reins of the eight directions and overlook the six realms, favored children of heaven and earth!

"The Golden Crown of Destiny, it's truly miraculous..."

Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered.

Previously, she was unaware of the existence of the Golden Crown of Destiny, but after Emperor Xia's explanation, she gained some understanding of it.

"From now on, my luck should improve greatly, and even without the system, I should be able to encounter many opportunities."

Xiao Minghuang pondered to herself that, through the system, she had robbed many others of their opportunities.

This certainly led to a rapid increase in her strength, but every action has its consequences.

Having obtained the result, one must also bear the consequences of the cause.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Everything she has gained will come at a price.

This is the natural order, and even systems should be no exception.

In a short while.

The colorful clouds in the sky dissipated.

The mist that had been billowing in all directions vanished, and a light drizzle fell from the sky, as if welcoming a new life.

A rainbow bridge appeared on the horizon, hanging high and stretching for dozens of miles, like a bridge to heaven, connecting the human world with the heavens.

Beneath the Rainbow Bridge.

Xiao Minghuang's head Golden Crown of Destiny fortune, shimmering with golden light. Her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, her skin was as white as snow, her face exquisitely beautiful, her temperament extraordinary, noble and magnificent, elegant and refined, like a goddess from heaven, looking down upon all living beings, looking down upon the passing years, high above, untouched by worldly dust, sacred and inviolable, her beauty so otherworldly that no one could feel even the slightest thought of profanity.

The girl in the sky was like a great sun, illuminating the boundless and vast territory. Everyone felt nothing but awe and dared not look directly at her.

"May the princess live on for a hundred generations, Changqing!"

"May the princess live on for a hundred generations, Changqing!"

"May the princess live on for a hundred generations, Changqing!"

The sounds of praise were endless.

All the subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty present knelt down on the ground.

Even many foreign cultivators lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the radiance that resembled the Sun Star.

After receiving the blessing of the Great Xia Dynasty's National Destiny, Xiao Minghuang was like a god within the Great Xia Kingdom.

After the Mandate of Heaven shifted, even the Emperor Xia felt a sense of awe towards Xiao Minghuang, who was now under the Mandate of Heaven.

"The National Destiny's destiny has been bestowed upon him, and he has ascended to the throne—this is an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of the nation, foreshadowing the great prosperity of our Great Xia!"

Emperor Xia lowered his head, his face full of excitement.

He did not value his own offspring until Crown Prince had been officially chosen.

But once Crown Prince truly capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the Great Xia dynasty emerges, he will certainly go all out and devote everything to nurturing him.

At this moment, if Xiao Minghuang's cultivation level weren't insufficient to subdue the various sects of the kingdoms, he might have abdicated the throne to his daughter on the spot.

At this moment, Xia Hanbing walked over shakily and said with emotion:

"This girl is truly remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia's face showed a look of guilt:

"It's all thanks to your discerning eye that you recognized his talent back then; otherwise, such a prodigy capable of reviving and continuing a dying lineage would have been trapped and died in the cold palace!"

"Oh?"

Xia Hanbing looked puzzled and subconsciously spoke:

"Didn't you tell me back then that Little Nine..."

The conversation ended abruptly there.

A complex mix of emotions, whether intense, complicated, or shock, appeared on Xia Hanbing's face, ultimately culminating in a sigh.

"Old Ancestor, what's wrong with Little Nine?"

The Emperor Xia asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's all just luck!"

Xia Hanbing's expression calmed down, and she immediately said:

"How many more times can the Dragon Transformation Pool in the palace be used?"

"At least three times, sometimes as many as five times."

Emperor Xia seemed to have thought of something, a look of doubt appearing on his face, and asked:

"Old Ancestor, do you mean we should let Little Nine Dragon Transformation Pool now?"

The Dragon Transformation Pool is the inheritance site of the Great Xia. Only the monarch and the Crown Prince can enter, and they can only enter once in their lifetime. It contains many opportunities, which can not only rapidly improve one's cultivation, but also hide some ancient inheritances left by the Great Xia from countless years ago.

Before the Great Xia Dynasty migrated south, there was an exceptionally talented ancestor who brought out an Earth-tier Cultivation Method from the Dragon Transformation Pool. Based on this technique, he created a Heaven-tier Cultivation Method, which made the Great Xia famous for a time.

For this reason, the Great Xia usually wait until they have reached the peak of their cultivation and can no longer make any further progress before entering the realm to seek opportunities; otherwise, they would be wasting this precious opportunity.

"Indeed, Little Nine's talent and comprehension are unparalleled, and her future is unpredictable. Rather than waiting until the distant future, it's better to Dragon Transformation Pool now and help her quickly improve her cultivation."

At this point, Xia Hanbing's expression turned serious.

"I have a feeling that things are getting increasingly turbulent in the Southern Border. The infiltration of evil cultivators seems to be becoming more and more blatant. Little Nine must grow up quickly; she is the hope of our Great Xia!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Xia remained silent.

In the Southern Border, the strength of the Great Xia is second to none, except for the Three Great Sects.

But compared to true immortal inheritance, it is merely a larger ant.

Just as the evil cultivator who possessed the body of King Wu'an said, once the Outer Dao focus their attention on the Southern Border, not only will the Great Xia be powerless to resist, but even the Three Great Sects will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Only the powerful clans and holy lands of the Eastern Pole can contend with these Outer Dao.

If the Great Xia Dynasty is to be passed down for generations, there must be a supreme being who can truly suppress the destiny and protect it.

Now, Xiao Minghuang clearly has the potential to become that kind of powerful person.

At least, neither Emperor Xia nor Xia Hanbing could foresee Xiao Minghuang's future.

Or rather, no one who has come into contact with her now can foresee her future.
