Founding a Luck Dynasty
A few days later, the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven began, and Shen Ge, led by Han Yu, arrived at a high platform.
"Brother Shen, you can stay here and observe the ceremony. I have to go with you to the festival and can't leave."
Shen Ge waved her hand and said, "Alright, go ahead, don't worry about me."
"Brother Shen, I wasn't worried about you at all. You're an immortal, why would I need to worry about you?" Han Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, then turned and left.
Today, Han Yu wore a bright red official robe, which made her look quite dignified, but the robe also added a unique charm to her.
Soon, a woman in a red robe slowly walked onto the high platform, surrounded by a group of ministers. The bright red robe was embroidered with a lifelike phoenix, as if it were spreading its wings and taking flight.
Suddenly, the woman looked in Shen Ge's direction and smiled slightly. That smile was so charming that it seemed to melt one's bones.
"This is Su Du? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also charming. Add to that the aura of an emperor, and she's arguably the most outstanding woman in the mortal realm." Shen Ge nodded inwardly.
Su Du walked up to the circular platform in the center, her expression solemn, even with a hint of tension.
"Since I ascended the throne, I have pacified the four corners of the land and brought peace to the world; I have promoted commerce and agriculture to establish a solid foundation; I have revised laws and established codes to restrain the evil in people's hearts. These are unparalleled achievements."
?
Is it really appropriate to be so blunt? Although you did a great job, is it really appropriate to praise yourself like this?
This was the first time Shen Ge had encountered someone boasting so much in such a grand setting. Although it was true, shouldn't they have been more humble and tactful? It would have been better to have someone else read it than to do it themselves.
After recounting all her achievements, a maid standing to the side presented her with an item.
It was a carving of Fire Phoenix, and the base below looked somewhat like an imperial seal.
Su Du held up the Fire Phoenix Jade Seal with both hands and solemnly declared, "With this jade seal as my foundation, I humbly request Heaven's permission to establish my Phoenix Divine Dynasty!"
In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the once sunny sky, and an inexplicable sense of awe and power swept down from heaven and earth.
Shen Ge's expression suddenly changed. "What's going on? Even offering sacrifices to Heaven can result in a tribulation of lightning? Is it really because of the excessive sins of killing?"
But the civil and military officials and guards participating in the worship below all looked at Su Du's phoenix jade seal with fanaticism, showing no fear of the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky.
"Boom!"
A bolt of azure lightning, as thick as a water bucket, struck down, its target Su Du at the center of the altar.
Shen Ge shrank back, hesitating whether to block the lightning bolt, when a phoenix flew out of the Phoenix Jade Seal and went straight to meet the lightning tribulation. With a flap of its wings, rolling flames shattered the lightning bolt.
"What is this? Is it really a phoenix? Impossible, I can't sense any life in this phoenix body, it must be an illusion."
"But this phantom was able to break through the lightning tribulation, could it be a totem beast?"
Shen Ge made many guesses in a short time, but in the end he still couldn't figure out why such a totem beast would appear. The most likely explanation was that this country was advancing to a divine dynasty and they were Luck Kingdom Method!
But he had searched through most of the ancient texts of the Spirit Moon Sect and found no trace of the Fortune Dynasty Method. Doesn't that mean it doesn't exist?
At the Spirit Moon Sect, the closest to the Phoenix Kingdom, Ziyang and Mo Qingyu looked up at the north almost simultaneously. However, Mo Qingyu only glanced at it before looking away, while Ziyang murmured softly, "I didn't expect that this legendary Fortune Dynasty Method actually exists. Expanding territory to gather national fortune, and then using that national fortune to nourish one's own cultivation... It seems that the Southern Barbarian Lands are about to undergo a complete transformation."
Should we destroy them or not?
At this moment, a divine thought entered Ziyang's mind, "Ziyang, don't interfere. Let them develop. We can provide protection if necessary. This might be my hope for breaking through to the Spirit Severing!"
Ziyang's expression changed slightly, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple will humbly obey Master's decree."
In the Purple Qi Sect located in the north, Zi Nü, who was in seclusion cultivating, suddenly opened her eyes, and a burst of purple qi shot out.
"This tribulation lightning, is it Luck Dynasty? But aren't the Fortune Dynasty Method only found in those great domains? How could such a thing exist in this desolate place?"
"However, this might be a good thing. If we want to go to the Heavenly Desolation Domain, we might ultimately have to rely on this dynasty."
The lightning tribulations in the palace grew stronger with each strike, but the Fire Phoenix was like a true divine beast, impervious to all magic. Under the power of its blazing flames, all the lightning tribulations dissipated into lightning.
Shen Ge looked at the Fire Phoenix in the sky, which resembled Orthodox God, and his expression became slightly solemn. This illusory form already possessed the power of Golden Core cultivator upon its first appearance. The overall national strength of the Phoenix Dynasty was quite formidable.
By now, he had basically understood that this was the Fortune Dynasty Method, and he never expected that Su Du and Han Yu would have such good fortune.
As the final lightning bolt struck, the Fire Phoenix let out a sharp cry, circled above the civil and military officials for a while, and then began to fly around Su Du before finally diving back into the Phoenix Jade Seal.
At this moment, Su Du's aura began to rise rapidly, eventually stabilizing at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Han Yu, standing behind her, as a peerless king, although not as strong as Su Du, had already reached the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, which could be described as a meteoric rise.
As for the civil and military officials, they had basically all Qi Refining Fifth Layer or sixth level of Qi Refining. They weren't very strong, but they were at least much stronger than when they were ordinary people.
However, Shen Ge wasn't entirely clear about the benefits or side effects of this Fortune Dynasty Method, and he didn't know whether this power was real or illusory.
Perhaps this power can only be used within the country it belongs to; maybe, after the country falls, it will fall back to the mortal realm.
However, if one thinks like that, then the Fortune Dynasty Method immortality is just so-so. After all, cultivating immortality is about bringing all great power into oneself, which is many times stronger than the false power brought by the blessing of national fortune. No wonder there is no record of this method in ancient books; it may have been eliminated long ago.
To be fair, this is an alternative method of becoming an immortal for mortals without Spirit Root, but whether they can actually become immortals in the end is uncertain.
Han Yu closed her eyes and felt the surging power within her body. In that instant, she felt she could kill a bull with a single punch.
However, Han Yu quickly turned her attention to her body. Looking at her disappearing white hair, the joy in her eyes was self-evident.
She had waited for this day for far too long. Now, she was practically an immortal, and the gap between her and Brother Shen had disappeared. She finally had the courage to take that step!
Turning her head to glance at Shen Ge on the high platform, Han Yu's eyes held an unyielding smile.
However, a possessiveness lurked behind that smile.
"Thank you for Heaven's favor. I will certainly be diligent and self-disciplined, and cherish my people."
