Chapter 258: Chapter 135: The Terrifying Great Medicine

"How audacious!"

"Zhuge Mo, you dare collude with the Evil Demon Emperor!"

"You disrupt the peace of the Eastern Domain and the very foundation of the Immortal Sects and Demon Sects! You deserve to die!"

Five Masters stepped out from Cloud Peak and attacked in a fury, heading straight for Zhuge Mo. They wanted to test the mettle of this so-called Golden Core Great Cultivator and see if he was truly as invincible as the legends claimed.

A terrifying battle erupted over the Imperial City.

Strangely, however, though their clashes were filled with colliding Divine Techniques, it was as if the fight was taking place in another world. Not a single blade of grass or tree in the Imperial City was affected.

Evidently, this too was a technique of the Celestial Dynasty.

National Destiny was gathering.

Destiny was churning.

At that moment, Snow stepped out of the Palace Gate and walked toward the grand wedding procession and the carriage that had come all the way from Youx Province.

"Congratulations on your wedding, Your Majesty!"

All the civil and military officials, their faces filled with terror, were forced out at knifepoint by the Royal Race guards to offer their congratulations to Emperor Tianqi.

"You may all rise, my beloved ministers!"

Snow smiled as he escorted the carriage into the Imperial Palace.

At that moment, the Imperial Palace erupted with activity.

Lanterns were hung and festive banners were raised.

The scene was one of joyous celebration.

It was all because His Majesty was to wed the daughter of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Jin, and make her his Empress.

And so, a bizarre scene unfolded.

High above on Cloud Peak, five True Core Masters and one Golden Core Master clashed in a life-or-death struggle, unleashing terrifying Divine Techniques that could move mountains and overturn seas.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial City below, a joyous wedding was underway as the New Emperor took his bride.

The sight left even Su Chen dumbfounded.

Soon enough, however, he understood why Snow had done it.

’This woman from the Zhuge Family possesses a natural Phoenix Destiny. Can it really bolster the Celestial Dynasty’s draconic fortune?’

This was the real reason Snow, as Emperor Tianqi, had traveled a thousand miles to Youx Province to seek her hand in marriage. He had never done it for the sake of some Elder Zhuge.

A long time passed.

The sky gradually darkened.

BOOM!

A terrifying pillar of golden light, resembling a Golden Dragon, shot ten thousand feet into the air. It was dazzlingly brilliant, and the Dynasty’s destiny converged upon it.

That night, Emperor Tianqi stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

A ten-thousand-foot pillar of light!

This was the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, a phenomenon unique to a dynasty of destiny! It was still nothing compared to Su Chen’s even more terrifying hundred-thousand-foot pillar of light.

Also on that night, a True Core Master fell.

"Hahaha!"

"Golden Core? What do you know of the Golden Core!"

"Swallow a Golden Core and roam the Human World with absolute freedom! You so-called True Core Masters don’t know a damn thing about the true terror of the Golden Core!"

A great laugh boomed.

Emperor Tianqi had achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

With this, Zhuge Mo was also wreathed in National Destiny. At that moment, his Golden Core flared within him, blazing like a golden sun. His combat power instantly surged by more than threefold.

The previously even-matched battle was instantly overturned.

"No!"

Red Fire Master let out a scream.

In the next instant, his Solar Fire Divine Technique was devoured by the golden sun. A mangled, charred corpse plummeted from the sky.

The Profound Celestial Sect had lost another True Core Master!

"Flee!"

"Is the Golden Core Realm really this terrifying?"

"Among us Ten Masters, several are in the True Core Late Stage! Five of us joined forces, yet we can’t even defeat a single cultivator in the Golden Core Minor Realm!"

Up on Cloud Peak, the four remaining Masters lost all will to fight and fled in disarray.

Only Zhuge Mo remained, standing tall in the air, roaring at the heavens.

"The Daqi Celestial Dynasty is established!"

"From now on,"

"we shall dispel the clouds and see the sun! The Celestial Dynasty has returned to its rightful place and will once again rule over the Immortal Sects and Demon Sects! Those who defy us shall have their entire sects and clans annihilated!"

That night, the news spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain, shaking it to its core: the Celestial Dynasty had returned, a Golden Core cultivator had appeared, and in a challenge to the Five Great Sects, one of five Masters had been slain while the other four fled.

’A Celestial Dynasty?’

’With Daqi leading the charge, perhaps our own Dynasties can also gather destiny and become Celestial Dynasties...’

Across a thousand mortal kingdoms, the ambitions of emperors were ignited.

"Rebellion!"

"So everyone is rebelling, is that it."

The Five Great Sects were furious. They dispatched the Heavenly Patrol Guards to slaughter the rebellious kingdoms, but even so, the tide had already turned against them.

The Eastern Domain fell into chaos!

The more they killed, the more rebellions arose!

Even reclusive Immortal Dao Independent Cultivators began to emerge from seclusion, adding fuel to the fire and joining the chaotic fray.

「Third Year of Tianqi」

The Five Great Sects officially designated the Daqi Celestial Dynasty as an Evil Demon Country, with a wanted level even higher than that for the fugitives of Extreme Dao Heaven.

In the Daqi Celestial Dynasty, by contrast, everything was falling into place.

Zhuge Mo became the National Master, enjoying the blessings of the Celestial Dynasty’s National Destiny. He was now deeply bound to it; they would rise and fall together.

Emperor Tianqi also purged the ranks of the civil and military officials time and time again.

The Imperial Palace, and indeed the entire Imperial City, was now filled with numerous Immortal Dao Auras. By leveraging the Dynasty’s destiny, one could cultivate regardless of their Spiritual Root. Countless cultivators flocked to pledge allegiance, giving Snow his first contingent of Immortal Dao followers.

Next, all he needed was time.

He had to forge a powerful Nascent Soul of his own before the five Nascent Soul Great Cultivators returned from Beyond the Heavens.

Only then could his Daqi Celestial Dynasty establish a firm foothold.

’Difficult!’

’Forging a Nascent Soul is easier said than done.’

Back in the Book Collection Martial Pavilion, Su Chen was the same as ever.

However, he was now on the verge of the Foundation Establishment Post Realm.

Although he hadn’t agreed to Snow’s offer to become the Imperial Tutor, that didn’t stop him from stealing the Daqi Celestial Dynasty’s national destiny.

Normally, the national destiny of a Celestial Dynasty could only be distributed via enfeoffment by its Sovereign of Destiny—the Emperor.

But Su Chen was different.

Even Before Foundation Establishment, he had been able to pilfer national destiny. Now, though Daqi had become a Celestial Dynasty, its destiny remained just as unguarded before him.

Su Chen even felt that he could exercise the rights of the Celestial Dynasty’s Sovereign himself—bestowing titles and distributing the destiny of the Daqi Celestial Dynasty.

"Open the coffin!"

On this day, Su Chen opened the coffin.

Inside the Burial Coffin, after forty-nine days, that terrifying Great Medicine had finally taken shape. It was a mass of black mist that would sometimes condense into a Black Pill, exuding an ominous aura.
