At the hour of You (5-7 PM), in the Imperial Palace.
The Hall of Literary Glory.
Inside the main hall, the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty were already seated.
One person, one table, one stool.
The eleven emperors of mortal dynasties, including Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao, were already sitting upright, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Li Jing of the Taichu Dynasty.
Not only did Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao and his eleven attend the banquet, but generals from their respective dynasties were also fortunate enough to participate.
Shen Tu Lie was among them.
Regardless of the eleven members of the Zhao Kingdom's Emperor Ying Hao, or generals like Shen Tu Lie, they were all filled with shock. From the moment they entered the Taichu Dynasty's palace, they felt the power of the Taichu Dynasty.
The Imperial Guards, with guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, were just like the Imperial Guards they had seen at the Sifang Pavilion. Every one of them exuded a murderous aura and a powerful presence, with the weakest being at the Qi Opening Realm level.
Upon entering the Hall of Literary Glory, they were deeply shocked to see the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty, including Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao. Each of them seemed to be above the Qi Opening Realm, making them incredibly formidable.
Even a random fifth-rank civil official from the Taichu Dynasty seemed unfathomable to them, like a god.
What does this tell us?
This shows that even a random civil official in the Taichu Dynasty was a true master!
This also demonstrates just how extraordinary the power of destiny of the Primordial Dynasty truly was.
At this moment, what Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao and others thought about was becoming subjects of the Taichu Dynasty, even if they could only become idle marquises without any real power like Marquis Gongsun Yan of Wei, they would be happy to accept it!
In reality, the weakest emperor of every mortal dynasty was at least at the Lesser Completion of the Awakening Realm, and most of them were even able to reach the Peak of the Awakening Realm.
After all, they are the rulers of a country, and with the help of cultivation resources such as pills and elixirs, they can easily raise their cultivation level to the Opening Acupoint Realm.
Beyond the Enlightenment Realm, one cannot simply rely on cultivation resources to reach it; one needs a certain amount of martial arts talent and martial arts skills at the Golden Core Realm level.
Martial arts at the Golden Core level are usually controlled by sects. Even if they want to cultivate to the Golden Core level, they don't have such martial arts to practice.
This is one of the reasons why the mortal dynasty has always been suppressed by the sects and can only be exploited by them.
Mortal dynasties simply cannot cultivate martial artists above the Qi Opening Realm!
"His Majesty has arrived..."
Zhao Li's shrill voice came from outside the Huagai Hall.
Upon hearing Zhao Li's words, all the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty in the Huagai Hall stood up.
Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao and the others exchanged glances, nodded, and stood up.
Li Jing strode in from outside the Huagai Hall.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects! May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and live as long as the heavens!"
The Grand Secretary Yan Changqing led all the civil and military officials to kneel down and respectfully called out.
Li Jing walked through the central aisle to the high platform at the front and sat down, saying calmly, "My lords, you may rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After all the civil and military officials expressed their gratitude, they stood up and sat down again.
"Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao, Emperor Zhong Yao of Qi, Emperor Qi Changming of Cheng, Emperor of Zheng..."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao and others knelt before Li Jing and spoke in a firm and powerful voice.
"Please rise, everyone."
Li Jing stood up and gestured to Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao and the others, saying, "You are all emperors of your respective countries, there is no need for you to be so polite to me."
"Your Majesty, we wish to submit our allegiance and become subjects of the Primordial Dynasty."
"Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Ying Hao of Zhao spoke with a solemn expression, then took out a letter of surrender from his sleeve and raised it with both hands.
"Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhong Yao of Qi and others said in unison.
They all took out their respective dial gauges in unison.
This surrender document contains detailed information on their respective countries' civil and military officials, military data, population figures, and so on.
"Granted!"
"Since you have voluntarily submitted to me, then you, like the Marquis of Wei, can become marquises of my Taichu Dynasty, and take the name of your respective country as your title."
Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a low but powerful voice.
"Your Majesty, we pay our respects."
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Ying Hao and the others spoke with conviction.
When they uttered this sentence, they felt a connection between themselves and the Investiture of the Gods of the Primordial Dynasty.
Without hesitation, they entered the Investiture of the Gods. Those who entered the Investiture of the Gods who had not yet reached the peak of the Enlightenment Realm all broke through to the peak of the Enlightenment Realm.
Those who had already reached the peak of the Enlightenment Realm felt that as long as they switched to cultivating more advanced martial arts, they would be able to reach the Golden Core Realm.
"Aww..."
A dragon's roar resounded from the Investiture of the Gods in the Primordial Dynasty.
The civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty immediately sensed the change in the fortune dragon in the Investiture of the Gods.
The size of the Qi-Dragon seemed to grow as if it were facing the wind, instantly breaking through 300 meters in length, and only stopped growing rapidly when it reached 699 meters in length.
This is the change brought about by the submission of eleven mortal dynasties to the Primordial Dynasty, which affected the Primordial Dynasty's destiny dragon.
The power of destiny in the Primordial Dynasty has greatly increased!
Meanwhile, the breakthroughs in cultivation levels and the increased strength of the civil and military officials of the Taichu Dynasty during this period, as well as the enhancement of the army's strength, have all contributed to the growth of the Taichu Dynasty's Fortune Dragon, causing it to grow to a length of over two hundred meters.
But now, it has increased directly from more than 200 meters to 699 meters in length.
This was before the Primordial Dynasty had truly taken over these eleven mortal dynasties, and before it had completely transformed the territories and people of these eleven mortal dynasties into the people of the Primordial Dynasty.
As these tasks are completed, the dragon of destiny of the Primordial Dynasty will continue to grow.
The most direct feeling among the civil and military officials of the Primordial Dynasty regarding the changes in the Qi Dragon was that their own Qi power had increased, which greatly enhanced their cultivation and improved their comprehension.
"My lords, you may dispense with the formalities."
Li Jing said with a smile on his face.
At this point, the remaining twelve mortal dynasties under the Xuantian Sect all belonged to the Taichu Dynasty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Hao and the others expressed their gratitude with excited expressions.
They truly understood the difference between the Primordial Dynasty and the Mortal Dynasty.
The mere presence of this power of fortune was enough to make them relinquish their status as rulers of a nation.
After all, even as the ruler of a country, they are merely martial artists at the Qi Opening Realm, with a lifespan limit, at most living to the age of one hundred and fifty.
However, once one reaches the Golden Core Realm, even a Golden Core Realm martial artist has a lifespan of five hundred years.
The Primordial Spirit Realm even grants a lifespan of a thousand years!
How can the throne of an emperor be compared to immortality?
If one could live forever, who would want to be emperor!
