Yang Youji’s face turned cold, the temperature between heaven and earth plummeted. An arrow shot out, freezing the area completely. The supreme being of the Black Water Immortal Dynasty abandoned his resistance, muttering pleas for mercy. The arrow struck his chest, shattering his bones. Streams of blood, as if suppressed within him for an eternity, burst forth.
The two supreme beings of the Human Race remained silent, filled with immense fear. They watched as Yang Youji ignited his divine fire and collected the treasure cauldron.
The moment the treasure cauldron entered Yang Youji’s divine fire, it transformed into strands of golden national destiny qi, appearing in the ancestral temple of the imperial palace in Chang'an City, far to the west of the plane.
The national destiny of the Great Han Divine Dynasty began to surge!
“Let’s go.”
Yang Youji returned to Xia Xinyu and the other two.
There might be other precious items here, but with the national destiny qi secured, there was likely nothing else of value in an immortal dynasty’s territory.
After a long while…
“This Human Race is too terrifying. Perhaps only the supreme prodigies from our respective races can fight him!”
The supreme being of the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
“Let’s go, there’s nothing else to see here!”
The voice of the supreme being of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty trembled. Without even glancing at the battlefield, he fled into the distance.
…
The fifteenth day of November, in the thirty-ninth year of Great Han.
A palace hall within the imperial harem of Chang'an City.
“His Divine Majesty has decreed!”
Wei Zhongxian walked in with a smile.
“Greetings, Eunuch Wei!”
Compared to a year ago, Yun Shan’s divine power dispersion had been well contained, a feat achieved through Sun Simiao’s careful treatment and her own year of meticulous recuperation.
Over the past year, Yun Shan had come to deeply appreciate Sun Simiao’s power. Even the alchemists of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty had been unable to halt her condition.
“His Divine Majesty has decreed!”
“Yun Shi is hereby enfeoffed as a seventh-rank Imperial Attendant of Great Han, and granted residence in the Heavenly Heart Pavilion!”
“Imperial Attendant Yun, congratulations!”
Wei Zhongxian placed the imperial edict into Yun Shan’s hands with a smile, speaking softly, “Becoming a consort of His Divine Majesty is a blessing from your past life. The repair of your physical defects is merely a matter of time. If one day you serve His Divine Majesty well, perhaps he will be pleased, and your True Phoenix bloodline will awaken!”
“Thank you, Eunuch!”
Yun Shan eagerly accepted the edict. Having followed Yang Hao for over a year, especially in the last six months, she had developed a deep love for him. Initially, there were ulterior motives, but her feelings had gradually changed.
Especially within the harem, she had received the devoted care of Fan Lingyue and Ling Xuan, allowing her to relax for the first time.
More importantly, she knew that Yang Hao possessed the True Phoenix essence blood that she pursued, and that the Imperial Bloodline clan of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty had sought for countless eons!
“Very well, Imperial Attendant, this old servant has other matters to attend to and must visit Consort Ling. I shall not linger here!”
Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly and hurried out. “Oh, right, Imperial Attendant, you will not need to attend to His Majesty for the time being. The imperial palace has many rules, and someone will come shortly to instruct you!”
“Thank you, Eunuch!”
Yun Shan’s heart stirred. Ling Xuan had given birth to Princess Ziyi for Yang Hao thirty years ago; it was time for her rank to be elevated.
As Yun Shan had predicted, on that very day, Ling Xuan was promoted to the rank of Noble Consort, first rank!
A few days later, Yun Shan finally received an audience with Yang Hao. On that day, Yang Hao, during their intimacy, bestowed upon Yun Shan the True Phoenix essence blood he had obtained from the system’s blind box.
Three days later, the True Phoenix essence blood perfectly fused with Yun Shan. Her entire body erupted with boundless crimson divine power, wrapping around her like a pair of wings.
Terrifying energy flowed within her!
Yang Hao immediately ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to heavily seal off the Heavenly Heart Pavilion. The awakening of her bloodline was of utmost importance.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host. The hero Yang Youji has slain two supreme beings, gaining ninety million points of slaughter value!”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host. Remaining accumulated slaughter value is eighty-three million points.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host. The hero Yang Youji has obtained the scattered national destiny qi of an ancient immortal dynasty, equivalent to six hundred million points of destiny and merit value!”
“Ding! The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal, the Xuanyuan Sword, and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Stele have automatically extracted half of the destiny and merit value to consolidate the national destiny!”
“Ding! Reminder to the host, remaining slaughter value is eighty-three million points, remaining destiny and merit value is three hundred million points, reincarnation power is zero!”
“Hmm?”
Walking across the square of the Xuanzheng Hall, he suddenly heard the system’s prompt. Three hundred million points of destiny and merit value – this was like clearing two Thundercloud Palaces!
If not for the passage of eons, Yang Hao felt he could have obtained even more. With three hundred million points of destiny and merit value, Yang Hao directly entered his soul sea.
“System, please search for the required destiny and merit value to advance to the Quasi-Supreme realm, upgrade the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny to level six, and the Twelve Golden Figures to the second layer!”
Yang Hao temporarily abandoned the military camp. Currently, all the summoned soldiers were at the True God realm.
This was already on par with the armies of powers like the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty!
There was no need for further advancement!
Currently, the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty was sharpening its knives, preparing to march out and sweep across the entire Western Border region.
It was a better strategy to first enhance his own cultivation and the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny.
“Ding! Reminder to the host, after searching, the host will need to consume three hundred and fifty million points of destiny and merit value to reach the Quasi-Supreme realm. The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny will require five hundred million points of destiny and merit value to ascend to the sixth layer, and the Twelve Golden Figures will require ninety million points of destiny and merit value to advance to the second layer!”
Three hundred and fifty million!
Only then could he reach the Quasi-Supreme realm!
Yang Hao felt a slight regret. If he could reach the Quasi-Supreme realm, he would be able to summon heroes of the Minor Celestial Lord realm, which was a pity.
However, if a few more supreme beings could be summoned, it would be enough to deal with the current situation.
“System, convert the remaining slaughter value into reincarnation power!!”
After a quick glance, Yang Hao decided to put it aside for now and looked at the slaughter value.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining eight million three hundred thousand points of reincarnation power!”
“Ding! Reminder to the host, slaughter value has been exhausted!”
“Summon!”
“Ding! This summon consumes four hundred and thirty points of reincarnation power. The system is now summoning!”
A golden light instantly illuminated the fifth layer of the Reincarnation Profound Yellow Tower. The sounds of the Great Dao vibrated, a galaxy spread out, and brilliant divine radiance!
The moment this golden figure lit up, only three of the carved figures on the fifth layer remained gray. The heroes on the fifth layer were about to be fully summoned.
As the carved figures flickered, the long river of history flowed, stopping at the era of the late Qin and early Han dynasties.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning an unparalleled general from the long river of history, the War God of Northern Wei – Er Zhu Rong!”
Er Zhu Rong!
The War God of Northern Wei! A powerful minister of an era!
In terms of state affairs and governance, Er Zhu Rong was lacking. Although he controlled the court, he was not a qualified strategist. However, as an outstanding military strategist, Er Zhu Rong was undoubtedly deserving of the title!
