Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 517 Establishing a Dynasty and Reigning Supreme, Shining Brightly Like the Sun and Moon

Jiangdong, Tianwu City.

As dawn broke, at the transition between day and night, a wondrous sight appeared: the sky was divided in two, one half bathed in the setting moonlight, the other in the rising sun.

After more than a month of turmoil, Tianwu City has now returned to stability.

As for the Jiangdong Unrestricted Fighting Tournament that took place more than a month ago, it has long been forgotten, and officials of all ranks have filled the dungeons of the Imperial City Guard.

However, the Dao Court had no shortage of people. In fact, it was this fighting tournament that caused too many officials to die suddenly or be demoted, which solved the Dao Court's serious problem of redundant officials. A large number of scholars who had passed the imperial examinations took office happily and quickly swore their loyalty to Lü Yang.

Now everyone has come to terms with reality.

The time for a change of dynasty has come.

The Imperial City Guard mobilized its entire force to conduct a massive search for remnants of the old dynasty, even targeting the usually neutral Imperial Observatory, which was dedicated to predicting the fate of the nation.

It is said that Xiao Shan, the current commander of the Imperial City Guard, led a group to the Imperial Observatory with a portrait of Lü Yang, asking the Director of the Imperial Observatory if this person could become emperor. As a result, the Director of the Imperial Observatory was also a tough guy. Faced with the encirclement of the Imperial City Guard, he directly said that Lü Yang's appearance was not good.

He even said that becoming emperor was out of the question.

Needless to say, Xiao Shan immediately turned hostile, ordering the Imperial City Guard cultivators to seize the man and send him to the dungeon for severe torture.

Within three days, the Imperial Observatory changed its tune.

Having learned from the mistakes of the Imperial Observatory, and with everyone already aware that Lü Yang had spent the night on the emperor's bed, the officials of the Daoist court were now convinced of his authority.

After all, if he dared to do even the Empress, what else wouldn't he dare to do?

Even officials loyal to Emperor Jiayou could only choose to protect themselves at this moment, displaying a portrait of Lü Yang at home and chanting words of loyalty every day.

'I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my heart has always been with you.'

'However, the villains are now too powerful, and we have no choice but to submit to them, hoping that His Majesty will return one day to restore order and re-establish the dynasty.'

While silently apologizing to Emperor Jiayou, they began preparing for Lü Yang's coronation ceremony.

Tianwu Hall, Kunning Palace.

After finishing his training once again, Lü Yang stood with his hands behind his back, letting Empress Xiao help him change into formal attire, and finally draped a black cloak over his shoulders.

At this moment, Empress Xiao's eyes held a complex expression:

“After today, I will truly rebel with you. When Emperor Jiayou returns, we will both be guilty of treason and will likely die a horrible death.”

The reason she chose Lü Yang ultimately stemmed from the wisp of energy he had revealed to her that day. She had no doubt that it was the energy of a perfected [Seven Luminaries Heaven], a complete external path fruition! It was precisely for that fruition that she decided to help Lü Yang without hesitation.

She had the courage to pursue gold.

However, now that things have come to this point, Empress Xiao inevitably felt a bit apprehensive, after all, this was no ordinary request for gold.

This is proof of "Heavenly Fire".

Even if we filled the entire Jiangdong region, it wouldn't be enough. At most, we only have a 20% chance of winning the gold, and due to incomplete understanding, that 20% chance would be further reduced by 3%.

"Are you confident?"

Empress Xiao murmured softly, explaining that it was this fear that had driven her to work so hard to help Lü Yang cultivate, and that her legs were still weak.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang shook his head and chuckled, saying, "It all depends on human effort."

As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened his robes and strode out of the Kunning Hall. He then walked outwards to the Tianwu Hall and stood at the very top of the Danchi (a platform for erecting ceremonial tablets).

His gaze was lowered, looking down.

What came into view was a huge crowd of people. All the officials of Tianwu City had arrived, and not only that, the entire Jiangdong region was also affected.

Officials of all ranks in the prefectures, counties, and cities all saw Lü Yang standing before the Tianwu Hall through their official positions, and they all bowed in reverence. Their actions inspired the people under their rule, and the trillions of people in Jiangdong acted in unison at that moment, creating a thunderous roar:

"Boom!" This roar was transmitted to Lü Yang through the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Law], making him feel as if a towering mountain was pressing down on him.

This is the weight of 'Jiangdong'.

The vast Jiangdong region, encompassing two capitals and thirteen provinces, rests on his shoulders. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would immediately be crushed by this burden.

However, Lü Yang was different.

Despite the invisible pressure on his body, the [Bingling Jiaoguang Daoji] within him not only did not waver, but became even stronger, like a fish in water!
[Heavenly Fire] loves power!
The heavier the burden, the more favor the Heavenly Fire bestows upon him. Therefore, Lü Yang not only did not feel any discomfort, but his whole body was filled with power.

The next second, he turned his gaze to the Crown Prince of Longxing, who looked as if he had lost his parents, and Xiao Shan and other loyal ministers of the Yixin Society. The former held a large seal in his hands, symbolizing the current power of the Tianwu Dao Court, while the latter spread out a dragon robe.

"It's getting cold, please put on another layer of clothing."

Seeing this, Lü Yang shook his head and made a gesture of refusal: "My dear ministers, you have really put me in a difficult position. How can I possibly shoulder such a great responsibility?"

After these words were spoken, no one spoke.

Instead, they all turned their gazes to Crown Prince Longxing, who nearly ground his teeth to powder, but in the end, he cowardly lowered his head.

"I, the Lord, believe that the reign of Emperor Wu has lasted for over four hundred years, and his destiny has come to an end. His reign is over, the will of Heaven has shifted, and the hopes of the people have been dashed. Now that the great mandate has come to a close, the divine regalia should be returned to the virtuous. The mandate of Heaven cannot be delayed for long, and the hopes of the people cannot be ignored for long. I humbly request my fellow Daoists to perform the ceremony of receiving the abdication, to fulfill the will of the gods and men, and to comfort the wishes of the people, both inside and outside the court."

This set of arguments was taught to him by the Imperial City Guard through the punishment of being flogged in court.

Lu Yang looked calmly at Crown Prince Longxing, but the latter dared not look him in the eye and could only bow his head, raising the imperial seal above his head.

".good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang decisively accepted the seal. The next second, his voice resounded throughout Jiangdong via the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws]:

"Now, I, inheriting the legacy of emperors, propose to reform the calendar, change the colors of clothing, differentiate the imperial emblems, standardize the laws and weights and measures, follow the fire element, and comply with the will of the people. I hereby establish this dynasty to usher in a new era of great rule."

The heavenly voice was loud and clear, and at first everyone took it for granted, but soon some people realized that something was wrong.

Because Lü Yang's voice was not only heard in Jiangdong, but spread outwards, across the Heilongjiang River, all the way to Jiangbei, and even overseas!
"what happened?"

"The Dao Laws of the Immortal Kingdom are expanding!"

"Jiangbei and overseas are impossible. Jiangbei is the territory of the Demonic Sect. Cause and effect are intertwined, and the destiny is fixed. How could the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws] have spread there?"

"And overseas, demon cultivators have always been unruly and do not submit to the king's rule. How could they possibly submit?"

At this moment, not only the Daoist cultivators, but also the cultivators from overseas and Jiangbei were completely bewildered, but the ever-spreading and expanding [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] did not lie.

During this process, Lü Yang's vision seemed to traverse thousands of mountains and rivers, and he saw maps of Jiangdong, Jiangbei, and even overseas appear before his eyes, which combined with his innate divine power [Chongli Imperial Edict Mountain and Sea Map], making his aura even more extraordinary at this moment.

At the same time, everyone also saw the source of this strange change.

On the steps of the palace, two figures appeared one after the other. One was Tian Qiu, who had come from overseas, and the other was Chong Guang, whose expression was resolute.

One of them represented overseas, and the other represented Jiangbei.

"See Your Majesty."

Although it was just a verbal statement, the image of obedience was clear and unambiguous. Coupled with the expansion of the "Immortal Kingdom's Laws," the fact was beyond doubt.

Only at this moment did Lü Yang slightly part his lips and utter his last words:

"When the sun and moon shine together in the sky, it is called radiant brightness."

"Boom!"

The next second, everyone in Tianwu City looked up at the same time to see the sun and moon in the same sky and witness the bright and shining stars in the sky.

Jiangdong, Jiangbei, overseas.

Of the five major regions, I have already secured three. If I were to seek gold now, I would have a 60% chance of success!
