Chapter 451
"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"
The three Immortal Lords of Taiwei were extremely excited and bowed deeply. "May our King live forever, for a thousand autumns!"
"The three of you will remain to guard the Ziwei Star Domain. Alright, go!"
"Yes, sir."
The three Immortal Lords of Taiwei departed in delight.
Just as everyone thought the Celestial King had finished bestowing titles and was preparing to disperse,
All I could hear was...
A vast and majestic voice resounded once more in the sky.
"Ye Ruoshui, I hereby appoint you as the Lord of the Middle Heaven Immortal Realm Territory, and give you control over the Ziwei Main Realm and the surrounding seventy-two worlds, large and small!"
"Lin Wanqiu, I hereby appoint you as the master of the Eastern Pole Immortal Realm Territory, and authorize you to govern the seventy-two major and minor worlds of the East!"
"Xu Xiuer, I hereby appoint you as the ruler of the North Sea Immortal Realm Territory..."
"Luo Qianhua, I hereby appoint you as the ruler of the Southern Wilderness Immortal Realm Territory..."
"Sheng Bailan, I hereby appoint you as the ruler of the Western Lands Immortal Realm Territory..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Five beams of light shot into the sky from the origin of the realm, like comets streaking across the heavens, and landed on the heads of Ye Ruoshui and the other five women, transforming into five seals that shone with brilliant light and suppressed the heavens and earth.
This is none other than the seal formed from the Heavenly Dao Source of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom, containing the purest Heavenly Dao Source, and capable of drawing upon the Heavenly Dao Source of the Immortal Kingdom!
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Ye Ruoshui and the other four women bowed in gratitude.
"No need for such formalities."
Xiao Minghuang smiled slightly, then raised her hand, and an invisible, gentle force appeared, lifting them up.
"These five seals can help you govern the five Heaven Realm Territory within the Immortal Kingdom. Possessing a seal is equivalent to having the essence of the Heavenly Dao Source bestowed upon you, and you can even unleash a portion of the power of an Immortal King. The five seals combined can mobilize almost the entire Heavenly Dao Source power of the Immortal Kingdom!!"
The words were finished.
The five seals shone brightly at the same time, and one of them disappeared into Ye Ruoshui's brow.
Ye Ruoshui's body stiffened, and she felt a sharp pain in her mind. A golden seal floated in her small world, continuously releasing the power of the Heavenly Dao Source, pushing her cultivation to its peak!
The remaining four seals also entered the bodies of Lin Wanqiu, Xu Xiuer, Luo Qianhua, and Sheng Bailan.
The five women trembled, their eyes blazing with dazzling light. The surrounding mist rapidly dissipated, and their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
Driven by the power of the Heavenly Dao Source, the five women's strength was terrifyingly enhanced, and they all reached the Thousand Tribulation Immortal Lord realm!
Within them, Immortal Light swirled and celestial clouds billowed, making them resemble five deities.
Especially Ye Ruoshui and Luo Qianhua, whose auras were earth-shattering and exceptionally powerful, their vastness of the Great Dao was almost comparable to that of an Immortal King!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ye Ruoshui and the other five women had misty eyes, tears welling in their eyes, and their faces were filled with excitement.
"This is what you deserve."
Xiao Minghuang smiled gently.
One celestial decree after another descended, leaving many immortals in awe, with many showing expressions of envy.
"Hiss!!!"
"What?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, is this dividing the Ziwei Star Domain into five parts and assigning them to five trusted confidants for management?"
"Who are these five people? Why did the Celestial King grant them such a large territory!?"
"It is said that these five are all Dao Companion of Immortal Kings..."
Many immortals murmured amongst themselves.
This moment.
They suddenly realized what was happening!
Yes.
The Immortal King entrusted the management of the Immortal Kingdom to the Immortal Queen. Although they felt some jealousy, they also knew that this was only natural.
I just feel a little regretful.
However, some people's minds started to stir again, and their thoughts began to wander.
The Celestial King's Consort?
If I could become one of them...
With the official establishment of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom, the turmoil within the Ziwei Main Realm gradually subsided, and all living beings returned to their respective lives.
But outside the Ziwei Main Realm, in the many large and small worlds that had just been merged into the Ziwei Star Domain, countless cultivators were filled with excitement and had their own plans.
"Have you heard? The Ziwei Main Realm is like the legendary Heavenly Realm, overflowing with rare and precious materials. The Spiritual Qi in the void is so dense that it condenses into water mist. Just living there, you can constantly improve your cultivation level without even needing to cultivate!"
"What does it matter to me whether it's true or not? I can't go anyway!"
"No, I have a way. I can get you in first, and then you can help me guide others in. Once we've helped a lot of people, we'll start charging. We'll split the profits in spirit stones 50/50, how about that?"
"... Is something this good really going to happen to me? Don't be ridiculous!"
"Don't take my kindness for granted. We've known each other for so many years, and I only thought of asking you to make money together... Forget it, I guess I misjudged you! Don't contact me again!"
"... Wait, fellow Daoist, please wait. Tell me your plan in detail."
"Ah, that's right! If we brothers work together, we can achieve great things!"
In just a few months, a wave of people flocked to the Ziwei Main Realm across many worlds, large and small. Countless cultivators who were unhappy with their lives in their own worlds regarded entering the Main Realm as their hope and were willing to pay any price to squeeze into it.
Even if it means abandoning one's family and career, and disregarding the sects established over many years and the Lineage with long-standing traditions, one must still go to the most glorious Ziwei Immortal King's Main Realm!
However.
These people miscalculated.
They left their original worlds, but were blocked outside the Ziwei Great World.
At each Realm Gate of the Ziwei Great World, there are Supreme Beings and Earth Immortals guarding them, prohibiting all outsiders from entering.
"To enter the Ziwei Main Realm, one must reach the Supreme Realm or above, or possess a certificate issued by any immortal in the Ziwei Star Domain."
"Otherwise, entry into the main realm will not be permitted under any circumstances."
Realm Gate, a terrestrial immortal responsible for guarding this place spoke indifferently.
This Earth Immortal was clad in black armor, with ferocious bone spurs wrapped around his arms. A blood-red longsword lay across his body, radiating a chilling killing intent. He was clearly an Earth Immortal-level divine general.
"Well... generally speaking, a King Realm cultivation level is sufficient for traveling between realms, right?"
A monk found it unbelievable.
"Those who meet the requirements, come and register; those who don't, go back to where you came from."
The guardian immortal said calmly.
How could such a thing happen?
"Does that mean we, who have endured great hardship in our cultivation, are unworthy of the qualifications to possess the main realm?"
"That's too domineering! Too domineering!!"
Countless cultivators were furious and shouted, trying to force the guardian immortal to back down, but to no avail.
The guardian immortal remained calm and collected, completely ignoring them.
Most of these cultivators were at the King or Saint realms, not even Supreme, let alone Earth Immortal. Therefore, they didn't dare to argue with the Earth Immortal guarding the area, and they retreated dejectedly one by one.
But some people did not give up and tried to bribe the guardian deity.
However, the guardian immortal remained unmoved by the temptation, refusing all offers with an air of arrogance in his words.
"What kind of country bumpkin are you? You've come to the main world to beg for food, huh? Get lost!"
"Hmph, you ignorant fool, do you think the Main Realm is a place for you to stay?"
"You don't understand any rules, yet you want to embarrass yourself in the main world?"
The guardian immortal mocked and ridiculed them mercilessly, making these cultivators feel ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die.
But they dared not speak out against their anger and slunk away.
"A bunch of country bumpkins, thinking they can enter the Ziwei Main Realm? They're dreaming!"
The guardian immortal snorted coldly, watched the group of cultivators leave the Realm Gate, and closed his eyes again.
But at this time...
Suddenly, a light flashed from his waist, and a tiny ray of light shot out, hanging in front of him, transforming into a scroll that unfurled.
On the scroll, a line of gold-embossed characters was prominently displayed, exuding Immortal Qi and extraordinary aura.
"The arrogant and rude Earth Immortal Liucan is no longer serving as the guardian general of the Eastern Realm Gate. His successor will arrive soon!"
Upon seeing this line of words, Earth Immortal Liucan was immediately shocked, his face turning ashen.
The Purple Star World.
The Ziwei Imperial Court.
Ziwei Immortal Palace.
Majestic and magnificent, splendid and grand, the entire hall seems to be inlaid with millions of dazzling purple diamonds.
In a secluded courtyard, a young girl in a light pink gauze dress was leisurely lying down, basking in the sun.
Her appearance was exquisite, with delicate features and long, lustrous black hair that spread out like ink, making her fair skin appear even more flawless, as if carved from mutton fat jade.
She squinted her eyes lazily and comfortably, looking sleepy and extremely dazed.
"Your Highness, you seem to be getting increasingly sleepy lately..."
The young girl... or rather, the young girl who was several thousand years younger, was none other than Xiao Minghuang.
Beside her, Ye Ruoshui dealt with the arrogant and unruly Earth Immortal Liucan, then asked softly.
"Sigh, I don't know what happened..."
Xiao Minghuang sighed softly.
When she became a Celestial King, the power that constantly absorbed Immortal Qi disappeared. However, as time passed, this power reappeared, and its suction force was even stronger than before, completely overshadowing the natural growth of her cultivation.
Even the feedback from the expansion of the Heavenly Dao Source of the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom could only barely offset the effects of this absorption power.
That's terrifying!
After all, the Ziwei Immortal Kingdom is an Immortal King's Kingdom, nourished by the Heavenly Dao Source. How could it be less powerful than the strange suction force within her body?
Xiao Minghuang felt that her speed of absorbing Immortal Qi was increasing, but at the same time, the strange suction force was also constantly getting stronger.
Moreover, she had no one to consult with.
After all, she is no longer the minor cultivator she once was, but the ruler of a celestial kingdom. The only person more knowledgeable than her is the Heavenly Venerable.
But she couldn't possibly ask the Celestial Venerable.
As for Ye Ruoshui and her sisters, they couldn't be mentioned at all, and they couldn't be allowed to find out either.
This matter was too bizarre, and Xiao Minghuang feared that the hidden dangers might affect them.
It was during this period of increasing strange absorption that Xiao Minghuang felt fatigued. This feeling grew heavier day by day, making it almost impossible for her to hold on.
