Chapter 111: Yunxiao Takes Xiaolongnü as a Disciple, Tang San the Son of Luck

"I am a loyal subject of Daxia, and I am willing to serve His Majesty."

"I am a loyal subject of Daxia, please, Immortal, bestow your grace upon me!"

The officials who had not been blessed were no fools; they, too, had realized what was happening.

This was a blessing that only loyal subjects of Daxia could receive.

Those of them who had not been blessed were all people harboring ulterior motives, wanting to overthrow the rule of Daxia.

In an instant, the officials present who had not been blessed spoke up one after another.

For a Thousand-year Lifespan and a Thousand-year Cultivation, what need was there for face?

At this moment, these officials could not help but regret: why had they harbored ulterior motives? Why had they been dissatisfied with the Empress?

Regardless of who sat upon the throne?

Were they not still subjects? Were they not still officials?

Why risk their lives for the Zhao Song?

Regret!

Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now!

Oh Empress, Empress, if you had said earlier that your backer was an immortal, would we have had any small schemes?

Regardless of what these officials were thinking?

Now they had already missed the opportunity, the opportunity to obtain a Thousand-year Lifespan and a Thousand-year Cultivation.

And across the entire world, those rebel armies were all dumbfounded at this moment.

Damn it, the other side has received the enlightenment and protection of an immortal; how is this still fightable?

Imperial power is bestowed by the divine, receiving the mandate from Heaven.

Having received the recognition of an immortal, does this not prove that the Daxia Empress is the True Phoenix Heavenly Maiden?

In reality, the entire nation of Daxia was currently filled with this atmosphere.

"Receiving the mandate from Heaven, may you be long-lived and prosperous."

"Imperial power is bestowed by the divine; Her Majesty is truly the True Mandate Heavenly Maiden."

Throughout the entire territory of Daxia, it was all like this.

Originally, many people still had doubts about a woman being the emperor.

But now that the Daxia Empress had received the acknowledgment of an immortal, what need was there for any doubt?

Even those who had been rebelling began to waver.

In this feudal era, imperial power bestowed by the divine was more persuasive than anything else.

Xiaolongnü and all the blessed Daxia officials bowed respectfully.

"We thank Yunxiao Niangniang, we thank the Heavenly Emperor."

"We thank Yunxiao Niangniang, we thank the Heavenly Emperor."

Xiaolongnü had long anticipated the blessing from the Heavenly Court, but experiencing this scene in person was still incredibly thrilling.

Yunxiao Niangniang nodded; she looked at Xiaolongnü and said indifferently, "Xiaolongnü, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Yunxiao Niangniang had discovered that Xiaolongnü's constitution and her innate pure heart were extremely well-suited for practicing the techniques of her lineage.

Originally, Yunxiao Niangniang had thought this World was merely a weak one; she never expected to encounter Xiaolongnü.

Sensing a predestined affinity in the dark, Yunxiao Niangniang did not hesitate and prepared to take Xiaolongnü as her disciple.

Of course, it also depended on whether Xiaolongnü was willing; although Yunxiao Niangniang felt the predestined affinity, she had always believed in letting things take their natural course.

Naturally, Xiaolongnü would not give up this opportunity.

Xiaolongnü was suddenly struck by this surprise; one must know that the Sanxiao Niangniang were by no means weaklings in the entire Honghuang.

Aside from the Heavenly Dao Sages, the Sanxiao Niangniang belonged to the group of top-tier Great Divine Ability holders in the Honghuang Continent.

Especially Yunxiao Niangniang, who was the eldest among the Sanxiao Niangniang and possessed the greatest ability.

This was a pie falling from the sky.

Xiaolongnü did not react for a moment.

She never belittled herself, but what virtue or ability did she have to be valued by such a Great Power and taken as a disciple?

Yunxiao Niangniang's indifferent voice sounded again.

"If you are unwilling, then consider it as if I never said anything."

As one of the Sanxiao, Yunxiao Niangniang's personality was incomparably detached.

During the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, if it were not for avenging her brother Zhao Gongming.

Given her personality, she likely would not have descended the mountain.

Xiaolongnü hurriedly bowed and said, "Xiaolongnü pays respects to Master."

To not seize this opportunity now would be to be a fool.

After becoming the disciple of Yunxiao Niangniang, it meant that Xiaolongnü had a Great Power as her backer.

Yunxiao Niangniang nodded, and a faint smile finally appeared on her elegant face.

"Good, since you are my disciple, you must cultivate diligently."

Yunxiao Niangniang tapped the center of Xiaolongnü's brow, bestowing her inheritance upon Xiaolongnü.

This inheritance contained her insights and cultivation techniques.

After imparting these things to Xiaolongnü, Yunxiao Niangniang prepared to leave.

Although Yunxiao Niangniang had felt a sudden inspiration and sensed the arrival of a predestined affinity.

But Yunxiao Niangniang knew that at this time, it was impossible for her to take Xiaolongnü with her to cultivate.

Firstly, Xiaolongnü was currently the Daxia Empress and had a country that needed to be managed.

Second, Xiaolongnü possesses her own karmic fate; it is impossible for Yunxiao Niangniang to escort Xiaolongnü at every step.

Taking Xiaolongnü as a disciple was merely due to a karmic fate in the dark.

Yunxiao Niangniang handed down her cultivation heritage to Xiaolongnü and left her a few means for self-preservation.

As for how far Xiaolongnü can go in the future, and whether she can reach her side and reach the Honghuang World, that depends on Xiaolongnü herself.

Although Yunxiao Niangniang felt a sudden impulse and sensed a karmic fate in the dark, leading her to take Xiaolongnü as a disciple.

Yet, whether this master-disciple bond can truly be formed still depends on Xiaolongnü herself.

This current step is a test for Xiaolongnü.

If Xiaolongnü can pass this test, only then will she truly become the disciple of Yunxiao Niangniang.

After all, this is the first time Yunxiao Niangniang has taken a disciple, and it is in another world.

Yunxiao Niangniang still held some expectations; she exhorted Xiaolongnü, saying, "You must cultivate diligently; there will be a time for us to meet again."

"I shall respectfully follow Master's teachings."

Xiaolongnü bowed respectfully and swore in her heart that she would cultivate well, so as not to fail Master's expectations.

Yunxiao Niangniang exhorted Xiaolongnü a few more words and then left.

The people present were even more shocked; the Empress had actually been taken as a disciple by an immortal?

The Empress truly has good fortune.

At a time like this, why even speak of rebelling against the Empress?

The Empress has been acknowledged by an immortal and, furthermore, has been taken as a disciple by an immortal.

Damn it, shouldn't one hurry to pledge loyalty to the Empress and die for her?

Rebellion?

To rebel is to make an enemy of an immortal?

Because after the appearance of Yunxiao Niangniang of the Heavenly Court, everyone felt that the Empress had been acknowledged by an immortal.

The divine right of kings, born sacred.

Who would still be an enemy of the Empress?

"Your Majesty, I wish to expose the Minister of Justice for harboring evil intentions; he is colluding with officials and wants to rebel."

An official stood out directly and reported the Minister of Justice.

Now that the Empress of Daxia has received the blessing of an immortal, rebellion has absolutely no future.

Moreover, everyone saw that pledging loyalty to the Empress could earn one a Thousand-year Cultivation and a Thousand-year Lifespan; with such blessings, no one could sit still.

Under such temptation, who would dare to rebel?

Although they did not receive the immortal's blessing just now, nor did they gain cultivation or lifespan.

But since the Empress can contact an immortal and has herself become the disciple of an immortal.

Who is to say there won't be a chance to receive blessings in the future?

As long as one pledges loyalty to the Empress now and works for her.

Then there is still a glimmer of hope, isn't there?

So why rebel?

It has no future.

The previous Zhao Song dynasty was corrupt beyond measure, and its destruction was self-inflicted.

The current Empress carries out the mandate of heaven and is the true master of heaven's mandate.

The officials present spoke up one after another, beginning to denounce one another.

Xiaolongnü did not hesitate at all, waving her hand to have these rebellious subjects seized.

October 1st, 1240 AD, the Empress of Daxia performed sacrifices to the heavens, and an immortal descended, bestowing blessings.

The immortal took the Empress as a disciple; from then on, the divine right of kings was established.

1241 AD, the Empress of Daxia changed the reign title to Shenfeng; this year was the first year of Shenfeng.

In the first year of Shenfeng, after the Empress received the immortal's blessing, large numbers of rebel armies collapsed without being attacked, and morale disintegrated.

Before the Daxia imperial court even took action, the wave of rebellion that had gathered across the world already showed signs of extinguishing.

Of course, there were still some die-hard elements who were unwilling to give up and still held high the banner of rebellion.

They thought that as long as they overthrew the Empress's rule, they might also have an immortal descend when they sacrificed to the heavens at that time.

This was entirely their own self-consoling thought.

In the second month of the first year of Shenfeng, the Daxia imperial court did not take action at all; the remaining die-hard elements were suppressed by the citizens of Daxia themselves.

These rebels still thought that they could rely on their strength to overthrow the rule of Daxia.

But they could not even withstand the ordinary citizens of Daxia.

The citizens of Daxia now revere the Empress of Daxia and truly admire the Empress of Daxia.

They do not allow any rebellious subjects to threaten the rule of Daxia.

These Daxia citizens took action and directly quelled all the rebellions.

This grand and mighty wave of rebellion ended in such a way.

In the third month of the second year of Shenfeng, Xiaolongnü officially began her journey of governing Daxia.

She promoted education, established schools, and taught modern knowledge.

She encouraged agriculture and sericulture, and promoted high-yield crops such as Corn and sweet potatoes.

In the third year of Shenfeng, Martial Arts Daxia and Earth Daxia established diplomatic relations.

Diyu Daxia began comprehensive aid to Wuxia Daxia.

Diyu Daxia helped Wuxia Daxia launch a technological revolution.

The Wuxia Daxia teaches the Earth Daxia martial arts.

The Daxia nation on Earth, although said to be a nation of transcendents.

However, in terms of martial arts, it has not mastered much.

Yet, Daxia's martial arts on Earth are not entirely useless to transcendents.

For transcendents, martial arts also have some reference value.

It was also in this year that in the Wuxia World, Xiaolongnü led Daxia to completely bring the entire world under her rule.

In the third year of Shenfeng, under the joint promotion of the Martial Arts Daxia and the Earth Daxia, a cultivation revolution was launched.

Under the cooperation of both sides, they created more rapid cultivation methods, and more powerful martial techniques and divine abilities.

The collision of Daoist methods and divine abilities, the combination of Ancient Martial Arts and sorcery.

The masses burst forth with the light of wisdom, walking out one unique path after another.

The arrival of the Heavenly Court only gave them a Seed, and now this Seed has officially strengthened and grown into a towering tree.

In the fifth year of Shenfeng, the Daxia Empress changed the era name to Shengwu, starting the Rule of Shengwu.

This year, Daxia officially established cultivation academies across the world, spreading martial arts to the world.

At the same time, it continuously utilized technology from Blue Star to increase productivity, because only by increasing productivity could it support the needs of cultivation.

Heavens Chat Group.

Daxia Empress Xiaolongnü: "I, Xiaolongnü, Daxia Empress."

Great Qin Ancestral Dragon Ying Zheng: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Great Worthy Teacher Zhang Jiao: "Has Xiaolongnü also joined the Heavenly Court?"

Mount Hua Mountain God Yue Buqun: "I wonder what the Heavenly Court Blessing is?"

The members in the group spoke up one after another, very interested in the blessing Xiaolongnü had received.

Daxia Empress Xiaolongnü: "Yunxiao Niangniang of the Heavenly Court has taken me as her disciple."

Xiaolongnü's one sentence completely left everyone unable to sit still, especially those who had already joined the Heavenly Court.

Now they could be considered to know what kind of powerful existence the Heavenly Court truly is.

Being taken as a disciple by any random immortal of the Heavenly Court is already a stroke of heavenly fortune.

Xiaolongnü was not only taken as a disciple by a Heavenly Court immortal, but this immortal is also a Great Divine Ability within the Heavenly Court.

Even within the Heavenly Court, she is among the top tier.

Could the members in the group not be envious?

Diligently Working Su Xiaoxiao: "Jealousy makes me twisted."

Spirit Hall Young Master Qian Renxue: "Envious, just very envious."

The members in the group expressed that they were very envious and very jealous of Xiaolongnü.

But this kind of opportunity is not something one can get just by being envious or jealous.

After all, for Xiaolongnü to be valued by Yunxiao Niangniang of the Heavenly Court, it means that Xiaolongnü must have something special.

Douluo Continent.

On Qian Renxue's dignified and elegant face, a trace of unprecedented envy appeared.

With the deepening of her understanding of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, she naturally knew very clearly what kind of existence the Honghuang Heavenly Court is.

The Douluo World, although said to be a fantasy world, is slightly stronger than some mortal worlds and Wuxia worlds in the group.

But compared to a true fantasy world, it is far behind.

Whether it is the Zhetian Shijie, the Perfect World, or the Eternal Life Great World, none of them can be compared to the Douluo Continent.

Let alone the Great Primordial World.

The so-called gods of the Douluo Continent are likely just ordinary cultivators, or even ants, in other worlds.

It was precisely because she realized this problem that Qian Renxue used the Heavens Mall to switch her cultivation method.

What Qian Renxue is currently practicing is the Covering the Sky Method.

After practicing the Covering the Sky Method, Qian Renxue felt the weakness of the Douluo Continent even more.

While improving her strength, Qian Renxue continued to lay out plans for the entire continent.

And during this period, because of the strength Qian Renxue displayed, she had already taken over the position of Pope from Bibi Dong, becoming the new Pope of Spirit Hall.

In the Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall branch halls began to issue weekly newspapers to promote the ideology of Spirit Hall and launch a public opinion offensive.

Especially in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

The two great empires had always been trying to resist the influence of Spirit Hall, and there was actually much smearing against Spirit Hall.

But now Qian Renxue has reshaped the influence of Spirit Hall, and the commoners of the Douluo Continent have also realized that the existence of Spirit Hall gives all commoners a chance to awaken their Spirits.

Spirit Hall has given all commoners the possibility to defy the heavens and change their fate, and become strong.

The newspapers published by Spirit Hall pointed out that the goal of Spirit Hall is to find a path for all commoners, that the commoners of the whole world should unite and move toward Great Harmony.

In the newspaper, a writer with the pen name "Awakener" wrote an article.

If there were no Spirit Hall, then only those nobles would have the opportunity to awaken their Spirits and embark on the path of cultivation.

From then on, commoners would always be commoners, and nobles would always be nobles.

Bloodline nobles and imperial royal families are the two great mountains pressing down on all commoners; only by uniting can these two mountains be overthrown.

The article encouraged everyone at the end: our enemy is powerful, the road toward a Great Harmony society is tortuous, but the future is bright; sooner or later, we will be able to step into a Great Harmony society.

Of course, for many commoners, they do not even have the ability to read text.

But the Spirit Hall branch halls in various places had ways; they made these commoners understand these principles through local preaching.

In order to better maintain the propaganda and public opinion offensive, Qian Renxue set up an instructor in every Spirit Hall branch hall.

The instructor is specifically responsible for promoting the policies of Spirit Hall.

Spirit Hall also dispatched a large number of Spirit Masters to go deep among the masses, to help these masses, to do things for these masses, and to launch mass-based movements.

It is precisely because of this series of measures by Spirit Hall that the commoners of Douluo Continent have finally realized what the existence of Spirit Hall truly means to them.

And exactly how important Spirit Hall is to them.

In the past, Spirit Hall did not pay much attention to propaganda; instead, the two great empires used various means to strike at the authority of Spirit Hall.

The reputation of Spirit Hall was therefore not good in the eyes of some people, appearing instead as an overbearing image.

But now, Spirit Hall has completely changed this image.

And Qian Renxue has now also used various means to bring the Heaven Dou Empire under her control.

Of the two great empires on the continent, one has already been controlled by her.

In the original plot, due to the interference of the Son of Luck Tang San, the operation to control the Heaven Dou Empire ultimately failed.

But now, relying on the methods of Qian Renxue, she easily brought the Heaven Dou Empire under her control.

It was at this very moment that Qian Renxue finally encountered the Son of Luck of Douluo Continent, Tang San.

Relying on his Qi Luck, Tang San brought his band of brothers and still fought his way to the front of Qian Renxue.

Tang San had originally wanted to sabotage Qian Renxue's plan to control the Heaven Dou Empire, but who would have known he was one step too late.

As the Son of Luck of this World, Tang San vaguely felt that things did not seem to be this way.

However, even if he was a step late, Tang San still had a chance; as long as he defeated Qian Renxue, he could still drive Qian Renxue away and thwart the conspiracy of Spirit Hall.

"Qian Renxue, the wolfish ambition of Spirit Hall is destined to not have a good ending."

Tang San rebuked Qian Renxue angrily, "If you abandon darkness for light now, it is still not too late; otherwise, when you are burdened with eternal infamy, it will be too late for regrets."

Tang San started off by standing on the moral high ground, pointing fingers at Qian Renxue.

The key is that Tang San truly felt he was not wrong.

In his previous life, he stole the heavy treasures of the Tang Sect and still felt aggrieved.

Now that he has transmigrated to Douluo Continent, he even more naturally assumes that he is the Son of Heaven's Mandate.

And in reality, for this period of time, Tang San has been invincible and turned every danger into a breeze, which made him even more certain of his belief that he is the Son of Heaven's Mandate.

And what is Spirit Hall, which stands on the opposite side of the Son of Heaven's Mandate?

Isn't that just the great villain?

Such a great villain will sooner or later be defeated by a Son of Heaven's Mandate like him.

These great villains will also sooner or later become his stepping stones.

Therefore, Tang San did not feel there was anything wrong with his words.
