"Ding! The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny have reached the full third level requirement. Twenty million faith points can be used to upgrade the Destiny level, which will completely repair the damage to the Tanyue Yuan Qi from ten thousand years ago."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest. The realm cultivation lock has been unsealed!"
"System, use faith points to upgrade to the Divine Mansion realm!"
Yang Hao stood on the sacrificial altar, gazing at the vast expanse above the nine heavens. The Destiny Dragon weaved through the clouds. Although the Great Han had been promoted to a dynasty, the Tanyue's Yuan Li was still thin. Despite two previous upgrades of the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, it had not been fully repaired.
"Ding! Successfully deducted four million faith points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully raising their realm cultivation to the Divine Mansion realm!"
Boom!
Yang Hao, standing on the sacrificial altar, instantly erupted with power. His cultivation, at the first layer of the Divine Mansion, swept through the entire royal palace, exuding grandeur and potent Yuan Li!
"Roar!!"
Nine dragon roars resounded from within Yang Hao, shaking the surroundings!!
"That!"
Liu Hong shot to his feet. The cultivation of the Han King, which had been at the Guiyuan realm in everyone's eyes, had suddenly leaped to the Divine Mansion, a full major realm in the blink of an eye. He was truly astounded.
Boom!
Boom!
Following closely, Bao Zheng, who had been guarding the sacrificial altar, suddenly emitted a golden light!
Boom!
Boom!
The ancient heroes on both sides of the sacrificial altar also radiated golden light, their cultivation instantly advancing by two minor realms.
"Ding! Shi Wansui has been promoted to the ninth layer of the Divine Mansion, Yu Chigong to the seventh layer of the Divine Mansion, Wang Baobao to the sixth layer of the Divine Mansion... Zhou Yuji to the third layer of Guiyuan, Liao Hua to the third layer of Guiyuan!!"
For a time, the square of the Xuanzheng Hall in the royal palace was illuminated by several golden lights. The cultivation of all the summoned ancient heroes had broken through.
Dozens of golden lights flashed in the void!!
"Use five million faith points to upgrade the Barracks level!"
Yang Hao observed the expressions of Liu Hong, Bi Xi, and others on the viewing platform. From their initial shock to their heartfelt submission to the Great Han, it was, in the end, Liu Hong's willingness to achieve a peaceful unification of Tanyue through a martial competition, greatly influenced by the Human King Mang.
He still harbored ambitions of conquering the world. At this moment, that ambition was shattered by the scene he had just witnessed.
"Ding! Successfully deducted five million faith points!"
"Ding! The Barracks have been upgraded to level two. All Great Han soldiers who have already entered the Barracks can re-enter the Barracks!"
"Upgrade the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted twenty million faith points!"
"Ding! The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny have been upgraded to level three!"
Buzz!!
The nine ancient and majestic bronze cauldrons on the sacrificial altar rumbled and vibrated in the void. Nine streams of bronze divine light spread across Chang'an City, as brilliant as divine might and as solid as divine mountains!!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
...
After nine earth-shattering roars, the luminous phantom of the nine cauldrons completely appeared in the void above the royal palace, spanning the immeasurable expanse of the royal palace sky!
Waves of light and sound continuously circled this land!!
The nine colossal bronze phantoms covered the entire Tanyue Island!
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Earth-shattering dragon roars reverberated. The two-thousand-zhang Destiny Five-Clawed Golden Dragon weaved through the skies of Tanyue, greedily devouring the first wave of backlash from the Yuan Qi emanating from the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny.
After absorbing twenty million faith points, the Nine Cauldrons were successfully upgraded by one level, reaching level three. The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny emitted rumbling sounds, and waves of powerful Yuan Qi scattered outwards from the cauldrons, covering the entire Tanyue Island.
The Nine Cauldrons were like deities descending, radiating a faint halo. The mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars, and all living things depicted on them once again glowed with golden light, emitting powerful Yuan Qi that scattered in all directions!
At this moment, Yang Hao looked out, his gaze reaching the very ends of Tanyue. Wherever he wished to see within Tanyue, everything was as clear as if it were before his eyes!
"Ding! The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny have been upgraded to level three. Within the territory of the Great Han, the host can mobilize the Great Han's destiny to unleash a full-force strike, crossing two major realms!"
A blue map of Tanyue appeared in Yang Hao's mind, emitting a faint blue light. Nine dragon veins coiled across Tanyue, converging towards the Great Han's Chang'an City.
Suddenly!!
"Rumble!!"
At the edge of Tanyue Island, thunder suddenly exploded. The entire coastline began to churn. The demonic beasts in the sea frantically swam towards the deep sea, causing monstrous waves.
The entire Tanyue trembled at this moment. The coastline began to extend towards the deep sea. Layers of dense golden gas enveloped fresh soil, revealing themselves above the sea level.
At this moment, Tanyue in Yang Hao's mind extended outwards in all directions at an extremely rapid pace, encroaching upon the deep sea.
"Rumble!!"
Waves crashed, stirring the winds and clouds. Layers of dense golden gas, enveloping fresh soil, surged forth from the deep blue seawater!
Mountains, plains, basins, deserts... continuously appeared in the deep sea, connecting with Tanyue Island.
Abundant Yuan Qi was massively produced and supplied by the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, nourishing the newly formed land!
"Boom!!"
Warriors on the coast of Tanyue looked at the shocking scene with disbelief. The original coastline disappeared, and layers of land emerged. In the blink of an eye, the coastal land became inland.
The three islands overseas were also completely connected to Tanyue!
"Boom!!"
With a series of deafening booms, the entire Tanyue trembled once more. The Destiny Dragon patrolled the newly grown landmass.
"Boom boom!!"
"Boom boom!!"
"Boom boom!!"
In Yang Hao's mind, Tanyue had expanded twelvefold in the blink of an eye, comparable in size to the imperial dynasties on the Eastern Desolation Continent!
"Buzz~~"
A golden phantom, thousands of zhang tall, with a crown atop its head, was Yang Hao's phantom, looking down upon the entire Tanyue. The thousand-zhang Destiny Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiled around the phantom.
"Citizens of the Great Han, the Great Han has been promoted to a dynasty. The Yuan Li has reached its peak from ten thousand years ago, even far surpassing it. The abundant Yuan Li is continuously nurturing Tanyue, causing celestial anomalies. The landmass of Tanyue has expanded twelvefold compared to before. Citizens, do not panic!"
"What?"
"Tanyue has gotten bigger!!"
"Twelvefold!! In my decades of life, I haven't even walked the entire northern part of the original Tanyue. Twelvefold, what would that be like!!"
...
...
"Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui!"
Yang Hao looked at the two below the platform: "From this day forward, all citizens of the Great Han may freely develop the new land under the control of the Great Han. You are also to quickly cooperate with Yuwen Kai in the new land to reasonably construct cities and fortresses!"
"By order! The entire Tanyue shall be redivided into thirteen prefectures!"
"The original Tanyue shall be designated as Sili. To the north of Sili is Bingzhou, to the south is Jingzhou, to the southwest is Yizhou, to the southeast are Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Xuzhou. To the northeast are Jizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou. To the northwest are Liangzhou and Yongzhou!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Bao Zheng, quickly hold imperial examinations and select officials to take up posts in the regions!"
ps: I've been considering this for a few days. If I use famous ancient army names to name legions, it feels a bit narrow.
I'm considering naming them after ancient fierce beasts, such as the Qiongqi Legion.
What do you think? Do you have any good suggestions.
