Chapter 164 Central Plains Immortal Dynasty
Chapter 164 Central Plains Immortal Dynasty
"The establishment of the Immortal Dynasty is not intended to absorb your forces."
"You may retain your own sects, lands, and people, as long as you nominally honor the Celestial Dynasty and obey its commands during wartime."
"In return, you will enjoy the protection of the Celestial Dynasty's fortune, and your cultivation speed will be accelerated!"
Moreover, Luo Tianming emphasized, "The fortune of the Immortal Dynasty can also protect your sect and enhance the talents of your disciples."
"These are benefits you could never obtain by working alone!"
Upon hearing about these benefits, many people's expressions changed.
The increased speed of cultivation is a fatal temptation for any cultivator.
One sect leader hesitated and said, "What the Holy Lord says is tempting, but how do we know if the Celestial Dynasty's fortune is truly so miraculous?"
Luo Tianming smiled slightly: "I can let you personally experience the power of destiny."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed, and a faint blue light flew out from the cauldron and landed on the sect leader.
Instantly, the sect leader felt a warm current flow into his body, and his previously stagnant cultivation began to loosen. The bottleneck that he had not broken through for many years even showed a slight crack!
"This...this is real!" the man exclaimed excitedly. "My cultivation level...is really improving!"
Upon seeing this, the people inside the hall immediately stirred. Facts speak louder than words; having witnessed the miraculous effects of destiny firsthand, many had begun to waver.
Luo Tianming pressed his advantage, saying, "Gentlemen, this is only before the entire Central Plains' fortune has been gathered. Once we successfully establish the Immortal Dynasty, the effect will be ten times greater!"
"By then, our Central Continent will be teeming with powerful figures. What will we have to fear from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty?"
Just then, a sudden voice rang out: "Sect Leader Luo, you've said so much, have you considered the opinions of our Juechen Palace?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shuangye slowly getting up.
Luo Tianming's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Palace Master Shuangye, may I ask what insightful opinion Palace Juechen has?"
Shuangye said calmly, "My Juechen Palace belongs to the Lihentian Palace. We are here only to assist the Dao Protection Alliance in fighting against the Dao Academy."
"As for the establishment of the Central Continent Immortal Dynasty, we will neither participate nor oppose it."
Luo Tianming breathed a sigh of relief. The influence of the Lihentian Palace spread throughout the Nine Provinces, and each of its branch halls was a first-class power in the world. He did not want to offend them at this time.
"In that case, let the young masters of Juechen Palace and Lihentian Palace be our witnesses," Luo Tianming said.
The young master of the Lihentian Palace, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke, his voice lazy and arrogant: "Lord Luo, your plan is interesting, but are you sure you have the ability to defend the Central State Cauldron?"
Luo Tianming frowned and said, "Young Palace Master, what makes you say that?"
The young palace master sneered: "Have you forgotten what happened to the Divine Continent Heavenly Pivot Holy Land thousands of years ago? Even a powerful place like the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land couldn't protect the Divine Continent Cauldron and suffered annihilation."
Luo Tianming's hands flew, and the Central Continent Cauldron suddenly flew out of the hall, gradually growing to a size of a thousand feet.
The cauldron emanated countless streams of profound yellow energy, resonating with the protective array of the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land. A powerful pressure that swept across the heavens and earth suddenly descended, Dao patterns flowed in the sky, and strange phenomena of heaven and earth appeared.
Everyone in the hall felt this vast power of heaven and earth, and even the young master of the Lihentian Palace changed his expression.
This Luo Tianming's cultivation has actually reached such a level.
"Does the young palace master think I can protect the Central State Cauldron?" Luo Tianming asked in return.
The young master of the Palace of Parting Sorrows laughed and said, "I was overthinking it."
Luo Tianming's move directly made most of the wavering forces decide their course of action. Such terrifying pressure from heaven and earth was even greater than the power of heaven and earth during the tribulation!
"In that case, let's begin the vote," Luo Tianming said. "If you agree to establish the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty and honor the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land, please register before the hall."
Many people inside the hall have already expressed their opinions, and given Luo Tianming's recent display of exceptional cultivation, even more people are choosing to side with the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land.
In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, and most smaller forces are eager to find a powerful ally.
Although a few forces are still wavering, no one dares to question the reason why the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land is revered anymore.
Ultimately, through Luo Tianming's combination of persuasion and pressure, more than half of the faction representatives chose to join.
Although many people still oppose it, the overall situation is settled.
"Excellent!" Luo Tianming was overjoyed. "Thank you all for your strong support. We will then integrate Zhongzhou, establish a dynasty, and build a nation! I swear on the Zhongzhou Cauldron and the destiny of the land, I will lead Zhongzhou to glory!"
The establishment of a celestial dynasty is extremely complex. The first step is to integrate all forces, including mortal kingdoms.
Secondly, it is necessary to establish order, popularize the concept of the Celestial Dynasty, and benefit all living beings, so as to unite the will and power of all beings.
Inside Qionghua Palace, the proposal from the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty was still under discussion, but the representatives of various forces in the hall were already deeply moved.
Some people were beaming with excitement, as if they could already see the celestial dynasty bestowing its fortune upon them and their sects flourishing.
Some people had complex expressions; although they were forced to submit to the general trend, they still harbored some resentment in their hearts.
Some stood silently, observing the earth-shattering upheaval that was sweeping across the Central Plains with detached indifference.
On the main seat, Luo Tianming stood with his hands behind his back, observing the various expressions of the people in the hall, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
He knew all too well the difficulty of establishing a nation, and that it was no easy task to completely forge the scattered forces of Zhongzhou into one.
"Gentlemen."
Luo Tianming once again suppressed the commotion in the hall and swept his gaze over the crowd:
"Now that the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty has been established, the next step is to carry out integration."
"I hereby announce two important matters, and I hope that everyone will work together to ensure there are no mistakes."
The hall fell silent instantly, and everyone listened intently.
"The First Integration of the Mortal Realm"
Luo Tianming spoke calmly and authoritatively: "The mortal realm of Zhongzhou is filled with numerous kingdoms and countless people, but wars never cease, and the people yearn for stability. This is the source of our destiny."
"From this day forward, all forces that submit to my Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty, and all the mortal kingdoms under their jurisdiction, shall be subject to the unified regulation of the Immortal Dynasty."
"I will immediately dispatch disciples from the Holy Land to various countries in the mortal realm to abolish the old system, unify the laws, pacify the people, and gather the fortune of mortals."
"Without my decree, no force shall interfere in the killings of the mortal realm; any disobedience shall be considered treason."
These words sent a shiver down the spines of many powerful leaders.
The mortal realm has always been a vassal state of the sects. Luo Tianming's move, seemingly to integrate the mortal realm, is actually to slowly grasp the most fundamental source of fortune into the palm of the immortal dynasty.
But no one dared to voice their opposition.
The extraordinary phenomenon of the Central State Cauldron reaching a thousand feet in height, and Luo Tianming's display of extraordinary cultivation, have already left a deep impression on everyone's minds.
"The fusion of the second force."
Luo Tianming continued, his tone slightly softening: "After the various sects and aristocratic families have submitted, cultivation resources and spiritual veins must no longer be scattered as before."
"I will draw elders and elites from the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land and send them to various forces to assist in sorting out the spiritual veins, dividing the territory, and strengthening the defenses, so that the flow of fortune can be unimpeded and can be connected to the entire Central Continent as soon as possible."
"Rest assured, everyone," he added calmly, "The Immortal Dynasty is only concerned with consolidating its fortune and will not seize the foundations of any family. As long as you abide by the laws and regulations and behave yourselves, everything will remain the same as before."
