Autumn, Southern Capital.
Within the great void, endless stretches of divine light from incense offerings flickered. The qi of golden blessing surged like a mighty river, dividing above from below, defining rank and station, all flowing toward a core shrouded in layer upon layer of golden light.
This domain was the heart of Great Li's Divine Dao, a realm unto itself that enshrined divine positions and governed the nation's lands.
The source of Great Li's Divine Dao was a Fortune Dharma Treasure, the [Divine Rite Dao Seal], which came from the Ancient Heavenly Court. It could distribute divine registers, bestowing them upon cultivators and connecting them to Li Fire. It had also gained the mysteries of Heavenly Inquiry's power to invest mountains and waters, establishing the Five Sacred Peaks.
Now, however, a man sat in meditation within this divine realm. His face was like cold jade, with curved brows and thin lips, and he wore a black Lotus-Pattern Daoist Robe.
Boundless, wondrous light of Fortune surrounded him. Treasure Lotuses bloomed, auspicious clouds unfurled and curled, and the qi of incense offerings gathered from an entire nation continuously nourished his manifestations.
Imperial Preceptor of Great Li, the Great True Person of fortune qi, Huji.
Or rather, the current master of the Qi Clan, Qi Changsheng.
He had served as Imperial Preceptor of Great Li for many years, enjoying inexhaustible cultivation resources. The inheritances of both fortune qi lineages—the Qi Zhao's [Fortune Treasure Palace] and the Ye Qi's [Heaven-Bestowed Dao]—had all fallen into his hands.
"Yuan E..."
The Imperial Preceptor of Great Li abruptly opened his eyes and looked toward the Heavenly Poison Secret Realm standing nearby.
At that moment, the secret realm sealed itself off, isolated from the outside world. Even the qi of Divine Dao incense offerings could not enter.
