1249: Chapter 368 Imperial’s Tao_3 1249: Chapter 368 Imperial’s Tao_3 Su He smiled, and she was no longer a young child, his little girl had truly grown up.
The entire kingdom was managed in an orderly fashion.
East Mountain was where Ya Ya built the altar to declare to the heavens and earth that she would be king—not to pray, but simply to inform the heavens and earth!
When Ya Ya strode on the Imperial’s Tao, her territory aligned with the heavens; when she ascended to the throne one day, the heavens would heed her command!
At this moment, the altar on East Mountain was meticulously arranged, guarded by sentinels and imbued with a solemn military array.
Inside Changfeng City, the lanterns were festooned as if it were New Year’s.
The citizens celebrated with popping hats, these citizens who have been under Ya Ya’s reign since birth, embraced and supported by her.
The Cut the Scholar’s Clan, freed slaves and prisoners have treated the citizens as family for decades.
The citizens watched as the City Lord strengthened them step by step, and watched Changfeng City flourish day by day.
Even though Ya Ya’s appearance remained a child’s, decades had accustom them—Isn’t it natural for immortals to revert to youth?
How can an immortal be judged by mortal appearance?
Even now, the streets and alleys of the city were plastered with notices, informing everyone of the City Lord’s ascension as king and the imminent arrival of a calamity.
Yet, no one was concerned, no one paid attention—not due to foolishness, nor blind confidence.
They had made thorough preparations.
The rivers in the city were fortified, dredging and channel expanding proceeded… Old houses had long been demolished, peaceful jars brimming with water lined the streets, ready fire hoses at each corner.
The government offices had made ample preparations for various potential disasters.
Not just Changfeng City.
At this moment, under Changfeng City’s jurisdiction, the eighty-two cities across three states were all the same!
Su He surveyed around, taking in this entire territory at a glance.
From officials and armies to ordinary citizens, even the women and children in mountain villages were well-prepared.
The realm Ya Ya forged was not just a domain of mortals.
Immortals and mortals coexisted, with cultivators frequently around, passing messages and issuing decrees was not difficult.
At this moment, Changfeng City’s flags fluttered in the wind, no longer just the flags of the City Lord bearing the “Su” character and the Dragon Turtle emblem.
Among the various flags, a new dark-colored banner appeared.
“Zhou”
The little girl has decided to name the kingdom Zhou!
Su He was somewhat emotional, yet he did not meddle, as he had never been involved in the affairs of Ya Ya’s kingdom, and naturally had no right to comment.
Moreover, Changfeng City was now enveloped in celebration clouds, resplendent with both literary and martial brilliance, proving the kingdom was filled with capable people.
The choice of kingdom’s name must have been meticulously vetted to select the best.
What would he, an unlearned man who had read only a few books, have to contribute?
Not only the people, but it seemed the very land itself radiated with joyous aura.
It seemed even the animals knew, the lord of this land was about to claim kingship.
Except for the heavens and earth.
The sun overhead was brilliant, yet it offered no warmth; even the wind that blew brought no refreshing sensation.
An oppressive feeling began to rise between heaven and earth.
It was still faint, yet rapidly condensing.
After setting Ya Ya off, Su He circled back to Thai Zu.
“Elder Ancestor, with Ya Ya claiming kingship, will there be a great calamity?”
What an assembly had gathered at East Mountain at this moment!
The whole Dragon Turtle clan, Worship Granny, Senior Qing Cang, Qilin Water Monarch, Guiwang Mountain…
This was to be expected.
Ji Feixue, Tao Master, Thai Zu, and Su He who could armor up with Pangolin.
The mere presence of Immortal Sovereign Combat Power was enough to overturn heaven and earth.
Without a tremendous calamity, how could such forces gather?
How could Thai Zu and Tao Master truly come early just for mere desires of the flesh, as they claimed?
Tao Master remained silent.
Thai Zu laughed heartily, “Are you ready to risk your life for your daughter?”
“Hmm?” Su He looked up.
Thai Zu burst into laughter, his aged eyes becoming profound.
“Turtle Kid, everyone knows that in Mystery Huang, Imperial’s Tao should not be tread upon.
Do you know why?”
Su He fell silent for a moment, then said, “Genesis Land, where the Taoist path is supreme, and the human path retreats?”
That’s what Su He had always believed.
Imperial’s Tao is a branch of the human path.
“Correct!
And also not correct!” Thai Zu smiled slightly, “Do you know who was the last one to walk the Imperial’s Tao in this realm?”
“Savage King?” Su He said.
The Savage King, a Greater Power of the Barbarian Clan from Ancient Times, ascended from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, united the Barbarian Clan, suppressed other clans, and nearly unified the entire Mystery Yellow Big World.
His path was certainly the Imperial Tao, but he only claimed kingship and never emperorship, falling just before he could proclaim himself emperor.
Claiming kingship is simple, even a single city or army could do so, but claiming emperorship—without unifying the entire Mystery Yellow Big World, how could one claim to be emperor!
Thai Zu nodded, “It was him!”
“If not for the Savage King, with the fall of Heavenly Court, how could Mystery Yellow have survived?
It was the Savage King who led the Seventy-Two Barbarian Armies to Suppress All Heavens, subjugate Ten Thousand Realms, and unify Mystery Yellow, thus continuing the legacy of Mystery Yellow.”
“The achievements of the Savage King in Mystery Yellow are unparalleled!” Tao Master said softly, his voice slightly heavy.
He greatly admired the Savage King, not born from Guiwang Mountain]],nor did his practice disconnect from the Taoist Ancestor, however, with just an ax, he Subpressed All Heavens and carried on the fate of Mystery Yellow.
Calling him ‘Savage’ was not a slant but a respect towards the Barbarian Clan, and the indomitable spirit of the Savage King.
“The Savage King almost unified Mystery Yellow and changed his title to Great Emperor.
Alas, in that final battle, his efforts fell short by a whisker.” Tao Master spoke, looking up at the sky.
Thai Zu smiled indifferently, “Do you know, young fellow, who was the one before that who walked the Imperial Tao in Mystery Yellow Heaven and Earth?”
“My father-in-law?” Su He questioned.
Thai Zu laughed heartily, shouldn’t you call him senior brother?
Why did the first thing that came to mind was father-in-law?
Thai Zu nodded as he laughed, “Tian Emperor walked Imperial’s Tao, unified Mystery Yellow, established Heavenly Court, suppressed Nine Nether.
Imperial’s Tao reaches its peak, why didn’t heaven and earth oppose?”
Su He frowned, suddenly startled, turning his head to look around.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Savage King, Tian Emperor, Imperial’s Tao this clearly involved the secrets of All Heavens.
If they spoke so recklessly, wouldn’t the surrounding crowd bear the consequences?
Looking around, he realized that the people around had once again disappeared, leaving only the three Immortal Sovereigns and him.
