Under Qin Yutong’s service, he bathed, changed his clothes, and burned incense before Zhang Ruochen put pen to paper and started writing the Crown Prince’s Edict.
Inside Zhang Ruochen’s body, he was running the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture while putting down his pen.
Each stroke written on it contained a unique and powerful Holy Dao power, causing the air around him to tremble slightly.
It was both a Crown Prince’s Edict and a holy decree that condensed the holy power of Zhang Ruochen’s body.
The content of the Imperial Edict was brief and concise, on the one hand, it elaborated on Zhang Ruochen’s identity as the Crown Prince of Sacred Brightness, and on the other hand, it called upon the group of ministers and old ministries of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire of that year to make a sacrifice to Heaven and Earth on the first seven days of the next month at the Peakless Mountain.
“Whew…”
After the imperial edict was written, the piece of silk brocade on the table emitted a dazzling holy aura, illuminating the inner sanctum of the Phoenix Dance Palace.
Sacred Ming City was the capital city of the Sacred Ming Central Empire, and every generation of Ming Emperors, every year, would make sacrifices to heaven and earth and the gods here.
The ancestor of the Zhang Family was a deity known as the “Immovable King of Brightness”.
In addition to that, more than one Great Sage had been born in the history of the Zhang Family.
Sacred Brightness City had been baptised by the power of sacrifice, and with the modification of the rules of heaven and earth by the Immovable King of Brightness and the Great Saints of the past generations, this piece of heaven and earth had long since been transformed, containing the power of the national fortune and the power of the qi fortune.
Even now, that power, still hasn’t dissipated.
The imperial edict written by Zhang Ruochen was written with the power of the Holy Dao of the Nine Heavenly Bright Emperor Scripture, so naturally, it would resonate with the National Fortune and Qi of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, creating an extraordinary vision.
“Boom.”
Above the Crown Prince’s Edict, an aura of the Imperial Dao was dispersed, and then, it flew up from the top of the table, broke through the roof, and flew all the way to the top of the clouds.
The silk brocade burst into pieces.
One by one, the Holy Dao characters, neatly arranged, were printed in the dome of the sky, radiating a brilliant golden light.
In a split second, the entire Sacred Brightness City was reflected in gold, and almost all the cultivators were startled and rushed above the streets to look into the sky.
An imperial edict was like a sky full of stars.
Deep within the mansion of the Cai Family of the Medieval Family, a vast holy might emanated from a bull-shaped spirit mountain, followed by a wisp of holy qi escaping out.
Just a mere wisp of holy qi was like a great river that wrapped around the spirit mountain.
An incomparably old old man, crawled out from the ground of the Spirit Mountain, stood at the centre of the great river of holy qi, looked at the dome of the sky, and said in a trembling voice, “Crown Prince’s imperial decree, surprisingly it’s the Crown Prince’s imperial decree, wasn’t the …… Crown Prince assassinated and killed eight hundred years ago?”
Seeing the old ancestor emerge from the gate, the Cai Clan’s Holy Lord and all the saints of the Cai Clan, rushed to the bottom of the Ox-shaped Spirit Mountain, bowing and saluting from above.
“Old Ancestor, the Sacred Brightness Central Empire has already been extinguished, and even if the Imperial Crown Prince were to return again, it would be impossible to restore the country.”The Cai Family’s Holy Lord said.
“Shut up, how can the Crown Prince be something you can comment on?”
The Cai Family’s old ancestor roared, and a sound wave surged out as if it were dozens of heavy punches hitting the Cai Family’s Holy Lord.
The Cai Family Sacred Lord spat blood from his mouth and fell to his knees.
The Cai Family’s old ancestor had once been a Pavilion Elder of the Sacred Ming Central Empire, with a high position of power, he naturally had extremely deep feelings for the Sacred Ming Central Empire.
However, after the disappearance of Emperor Ming, the dynasty and the field were in turmoil, with constant killing and fighting, the Cai Family’s old ancestor felt disillusioned and took the initiative to withdraw from the imperial court, and since then, he has been living in seclusion and cultivating in seclusion.
Later, in order to save the lives of hundreds of millions of clansmen, the Cai Family’s old ancestor had no choice but to surrender to the Chi-Qing Central Empire, however, did not accept any gifts from the Chi-Qing Central Empire.
Not only the Cai Family, but the entire Sacred Brightness City, all of them exploded in a flurry.
“Eight hundred years ago, the Imperial Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, Zhang Ruochen, is surprisingly still alive, and has even issued an imperial edict to recall his former vassals and old ministries.”
“Zhang Ruochen? This name is …… surprisingly exactly the same as that time passer, it can’t be that coincidental right?”
“On the seventh day of the month next month, go to the Peakless Mountain to offer sacrifices to the heavens, to the gods, and to the spirits of the dead. Why don’t you sacrifice in Sacred Brightness City and go to the Demon Sect’s main altar?”
“Eight hundred years ago, the Peakless Mountain was also within the boundaries of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire, so why can’t we go there to offer sacrifices?”
“Isn’t the seventh day of the month next month the wedding of the Devil Cult’s little saintess and Qiu Yu …… Geez, this Shengming Imperial Prince must be Zhang Ruochen.”
……
…………
Even the stupidest cultivators understood at this moment that the Sacred Brightness Crown Prince and the Timeless Transmitter were clearly the same person.
This piece of news spread out at the fastest possible speed, and soon spread throughout the First Central Empire.
All of the major powers of the Human Race were shaken when they heard about this.
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden had long guessed that Zhang Ruochen had this identity, however, when she received the news, her heart still rippled tremendously.
After a long time, the Sacred Book Talented Maiden calmed the emotions in her heart and muttered to herself, ”Zhang Ruochen, what exactly are you trying to do? For the sake of a woman, how could you really want to turn all of the First Central Empire upside down?”
In the Wan Family’s mansion, Wan Zhaoyi and Canglan Martial Saint received the news at the same time, and both of them glanced at each other, both of them being able to see the shock in each other’s eyes.
Wan Zhaoyi’s eyes rolled for a moment, and then, a smile appeared, “I finally understand somewhat now that the Empress and Zhang Ruochen have a grudge. So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is ……”
The Canglan Martial Saint sighed and said, “A year ago, I was in front of the Empress and asked for Zhang Ruochen’s hand in marriage, now that I think about it, it was really laughable at that time. The feud between the two of them, how could it be resolved by pleading for mercy?”
In the Eastern Domain, the Murong Family’s Supreme Elder Ancestor, walked out from an ancestral mansion and looked in the direction of the Central Domain with Murong Yue.
In Murong Yue’s eyes, a look of delight appeared as she said, “Elder Ancestor, His Highness has finally announced his identity, shouldn’t we also make a move?”
The Murong Family’s Supreme Old Ancestor, named Murong Ye Feng, the first genius of the Murong Family eight hundred years ago, i.e. Zhang Ruochen’s only friend in his previous life and Zhang Ruochen’s scholar, often listened to lectures together with Zhang Ruochen, Kong Lanyou, and Chi Yao.
Because Murong Ye Feng was the youngest, Zhang Ruochen, Kong Lanyou and Chi Yao all called him “Little Ye”.
Although Murong Ye Feng had lived for eight hundred years, he didn’t look old, and appeared to be in his thirties. A smile of remembrance and bitterness appeared in his pair of vicissitudes of life, “Your Highness, since you chose to become the Sacred Brightness Crown Prince again, then Murong Ye Feng will continue to follow you around in the future.”
In the Tiantai Prefecture, one of the nine states in the Central Region, the two forces, the Shangguan Family and the Blood God Sect, were also experiencing huge tremors.
Those Saint realm figures of the Blood God Sect obviously knew that Zhang Ruochen was their Sect Master as well. How could they not be surprised after such a big event?
On that very day, the two Saint Elders immediately convened a General Assembly of Elders and began to discuss a plan.
Because of a Crown Prince’s Edict, the Shangguan Family was also thrust into the limelight.
Because, the Shangguan Family’s old ancestor, “Que Saint King”, was the Crown Prince of the Sacred Brightness Central Empire.
The so-called Crown Prince Master was the Crown Prince’s teacher.
When the Crown Prince cloths the “Crown Prince’s Edict”, how should the Crown Prince’s teacher deal with himself?
Western Region, Brahma Heavenly Dao.
After receiving the news, Da Sikong and Er Sikong were incomparably excited and scrambled towards the inside of an ancient temple.
While running, Da Sikong said, “Master, Master Uncle is making a big deal out of it this time, it’s almost as if he wants to step on the Demon Sect in one fell swoop, we have to go and join in the fun.”
The second Sikong said, “The Devil Cult has many experts, and the Fire Nation is even more profound, the Senior Uncle is fighting a tough battle. Master Indra, we can’t just stand by and watch.”
Master Indra was like a clay statue, sitting on top of a futon, his body motionless.
Da Sikong’s body had an aura of thievery, and with his two bare bladders, he said with a reddish glow, “Master Ancestor was the one who was killed by the Empress, and he has an undying grudge against us. Master Teacher, why don’t we follow Master Uncle and rebel together?”
“Shut up, the Empress has become a god, who dares to rebel?”Master Indra chided.
Da Sikong muttered and said, “The Empress has already left the Kunlun Realm, saying that she may or may not have gone to the God Realm, and won’t come back at all.”
Having reached Indra’s realm, he was very clear about how terrifying the power of a deity was, even if Empress Chi Yao had already left the Kunlun Realm. However, the divine power she left behind in the Kunlun Realm could still crush all living beings.
The Second Sikong was a bit more stable and said, “Senior Uncle has always been careful in his actions, knowing that the Empress has become a god, yet he still dares to announce her identity, it can only mean one thing, that he has left behind a backhanded plan that can keep everyone safe.”
Da Sikong exclaimed, saying, “Could it be that the Qian Kun Realm has already been born out? In the Qiankun Realm, there is the Heaven Receiving Divine Wood, the cultivation environment is far from the Kunlun Realm. As long as we enter the Qian Kun Realm to cultivate, we won’t need to hide in the future.”
Dashekong and Ershekong, who had gone with Zhang Ruochen to seize the Spirit of the World in the Green Dragon Market Realm, had heard Zhang Ruochen mention that the purpose of seizing the Spirit of the World was to allow the Touhou World to evolve into the Qiankun Realm.
Outside the domain, in a superior Market Realm, Old Ancestor Dead Zen received Zhang Ruochen’s Transmission Light Talisman.
Old Ancestor Deadly Zen let out a laugh, “This favour from Zhang Ruochen is really not easy to return.”
The Heart Art Buddhist Master stood below, received the summoning light talisman, read the contents on it, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, “The Demon Sect and the Fire Nation are both first-rate powers, second only to the imperial court in terms of strength. It’s better for Master to stay out of it.”?
“If we don’t return Zhang Ruochen’s favour, Master’s Sacred Heart will be flawed and will never be able to cross that final step.”The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor was somewhat helpless.
In fact, even if Zhang Ruochen didn’t take the initiative to send a message to Old Ancestor Deadly Zen, Old Ancestor Deadly Zen was still prepared to go to him and return his favour.
The Heart Art Buddhist Master said, “But, Master has already made an oath that he will never set foot in the Kunlun Realm again.”
“If the real body can’t enter the Kunlun Realm, you can use a bilocation. If the bilocation carries the Divine Corpse, Zhang Ruochen should be satisfied with the Divine Corpse’s combat power. It’s also good to end this matter of the heart earlier, so that we can cross over to the gate of the true Great Dao sooner.”
The Deadly Zen Old Ancestor laughed once more, put down the Transmission Light Talisman, and the Buddha light on his body flickered for a moment, and then, from within his body, a doppelganger stepped out.
Although it was a bilocation, however, it gave off a feeling of flesh and blood, incomparably holy, and scattered Buddhist light all over his body, there was no difference between it and the real body.
