Chapter 369

~7 min read 1,261 words

Furina suddenly gave a bitter laugh and said in a faint voice:

"The Son of Heaven Conferred God Art... Can someone like me also become a king?"

But the moment this thought was born, the golden jade talisman in her mind shook violently.

The golden jade talisman gave Furina unprecedented confidence.

Furina held her head high and puffed out her chest; her small frame radiated a majesty that felt taller than heaven and earth.

"Without a doubt! I am the King of Fontaine!"

"Only I am worthy of being the King of Fontaine!"

"My will is Fontaine's heavenly intent; my heart is Fontaine's heavenly heart!"

It was a domineering and arrogant declaration, the kind that should have made Clorinde frown and advise Furina to keep a low profile.

Yet at this moment, Clorinde agreed with it completely.

From this moment on, Fontaine was Furina's word alone; whatever she said became the standard for the heaven and earth of Fontaine.

Never mind the people of Fontaine, even the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of Fontaine had to obey.

"A true king..."

Clorinde's gaze toward Furina grew increasingly fanatical.

From today on, Fontaine would march forward with its head held high under Furina's will.

The golden jade talisman in her mind seemed extremely satisfied with Furina's attitude; it trembled slightly, and a piece of information emerged.

"The Son of Heaven Conferred God Art, Part One: The King's Decree Cannot Be Defied!"

"The King's command, the world obeys."

"Once the King's decree is issued, heaven calls and earth responds."

Furina calmed her mind to observe this information and was immediately shocked.

To put it simply...

Her words became law.

Furina could use her royal will to command heaven and earth; wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, all things in the world would follow.

This was an extremely domineering technique, one that didn't seem like it should belong on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

In layman's terms, whatever Furina said had to be so.

If she said the sun in Fontaine rose in the west and set in the east, the sun would have to rise in the west and set in the east.

Of course, the extent to which this technique could be utilized depended entirely on Furina's own cultivation and the strength of her royal destiny.

With her current strength, she couldn't yet influence such powerful trends of heaven and earth.

But calling the wind and summoning the rain, or summoning thunder and lightning, could already be done with ease.

It was merely a matter of intensity and range.

But there was no denying that this was an outrageously strong technique with an unfathomable upper limit.

And this was only the first chapter of the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art.

Furina couldn't even imagine how strong she would be once she truly mastered the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art.

But...

She had no idea how to cultivate the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art either.

According to the feedback from the golden jade talisman in her mind:

As a king, how one cultivates must be developed by oneself; the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art would not trigger automatically.

This was the pride a king should have.

Furina took a deep breath, her heart filled with fighting spirit.

"It's just a matter of figuring it out myself! I've already been recognized by the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art! I am the unquestionable King!"

"I can definitely figure out the cultivation method for the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art on my own!"

Furina pumped herself up and floated gracefully to the ground.

That intense royal aura made everyone around her involuntarily take a few steps back.

Furina, having realized what happened, hurriedly restrained the royal aura on her body.

Although the Son of Heaven Conferred God Art was strong, and the ambition of a king was terrifying enough...

It depended on where one was.

In Teyvat, or even in the world of cultivation, it was an unquestionable royal path.

But here at Shushan, a holy land of cultivation where experts were everywhere, the foundation was infinite, and there had even been Taiyi-level experts.

The royal path was just one of many decent paths.

It couldn't be called invincible under heaven.

To put it plainly, it's like the Heavenly Court of the Upper Realm; the Jade Emperor is the pinnacle of the King's Dao, perhaps even the Emperor's Dao.

But no matter how powerful he is, or how he commands the heavens and earth, he wouldn't dare provoke those powerhouses of other Great Daos.

Such as the Three Pure Ones, the Three Buddhas, the Great Goddess Nuwa, the Great God Fuxi, the Great Emperor Houtu, and so on...

At most, the true form of the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Grand Emperor, is merely on par with them.

However, as of now, Furina can already be considered one of the few among the many inner sect disciples who has truly walked her own Great Dao.

There is an essential difference between her and others who have not walked their own Great Dao.

To put it simply and bluntly.

Furina has a boundless future!

220. Hu Tao: So what if I'm a ghost cultivator? Does a ghost cultivator eat your family's rice?

"Fu... Your Majesty?"

Looking at Furina, whose aura seemed no different from before but in reality fully manifested the will of the King's Dao.

Clorinde didn't know how to address her for a moment.

Fortunately, although Furina had embarked on the King's Dao, she hadn't changed her original heart overall.

She immediately patted Clorinde with a smile.

"No need to be nervous, Clorinde, just address me as you did before."

Clorinde stared blankly at Furina.

Such a simple sentence, one that might not have evoked any feeling if heard before.

Now that it was spoken from Furina's lips, Clorinde only felt a sense of a King's magnanimity being shown.

She nodded immediately and said earnestly:

"Yes! Lady Furina!"

The others relaxed after a while and accepted the subtle change in Furina's current aura.

Hu Tao walked over quickly and said excitedly:

"Furina, you were so cool just now! So domineering! What exactly did you get?"

"And why did that thing disappear into your body? Aren't jade talismans supposed to be recycled?"

Furina thought for a moment, shook her head, and said:

"This cultivation technique of mine seems a bit strange. It says that this technique will only choose one person as its master; in other words, as long as I don't die, this technique will not appear again."

Alhaitham nodded thoughtfully, trying his best to avoid the gaze of Furina, whose King's Dao will was blooming.

"In other words, it is unique, right?"

"That's about the gist of it."

Furina nodded helplessly and said softly:

"This technique isn't right; I need to find the Sect Master to take a look."

Mentioning finding Jiang Yan, Furina felt a little secret joy in her heart.

This time, she had finally found a suitable reason to see Jiang Yan.

"What a pity, such a powerful technique, I was thinking of coming to look for it next week."

Tartaglia shook his head helplessly, while Hu Tao rolled her eyes at the side.

"Come on, didn't you hear what Furina just said? This is a King's Dao technique; only those with the aptitude to be a king are qualified to learn it."

"Are you planning to seize power in Snezhnaya?"

Tartaglia hurriedly raised his hands.

"I didn't say that, I was just thinking about it."
