Half a day after the dust settled within Xi’an City, Li Xuan was atop Li Mountain, intently sensing the original "Book of Jinque" in his hand.
This divine treasure had two abilities, the first being ’Divine Enthronent,’ but this was not the power of Rule.
The "Book of Jinque" could enthrone sixty to eighty Flesh Gods within the activities of the First Emperor’s Seal.
The deities that provided them with Divine Power were the three emperors and five sovereigns, who rged with the ’Yuanfeng’—the sage sovereigns before the Pre-Qin human emperors.
When this item was used in conjunction with the ’Tianxingtai’ of the Heavenly Court of Xuanhuang, it had an extraordinary effect, greatly saving divine power during the investiture of deities.
In ancient tis, the God-beating Whip, Fengshentai, and Investiture of the Gods were closely linked to each other.
The second was Rule, for the "Book of Jinque" was a combination of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Human, and the God-beating Whip, possessing an exceptionally strong power of Rule: one being ’Faling,’ and the other ’Chengjie.’
Though they were two different types of Rule, in practice, they were interconnected and unified.
The way to use them was simple; any faling written in the "Book of Jinque" could be enforced with punishnt as stipulated by the judicial laws of the faling.
As for the severity of the punishnt, it was closely related to the person who wrote the faling.
For example, many of the ’heavenly faling’ currently in the "Book of Jinque" were jointly drafted by the First Emperor in agreent with the three emperors and five sovereigns.
Consequently, their punishing power, when extre, could reach the realm of ’Divine Heavenly.’
Therefore, even the few Emperor Buddhas of Divine Heavenly level harbored fear towards this item, and for ten thousand years, they dared not bring their True Spirits into the mortal realm.
There are also so ’heavenly faling’ made by Dasiming and Xiaosiming, whose corresponding punishing powers can only reach the sub-heavenly level.
This is not because Dasiming and Xiaosiming are weak, but because the source of heavenly faling can only be ’Dragon Qi’ and ’Weiquan.’
The reason Dasiming and Xiaosiming could barely manage it was relying on their status as Great Qin princesses and the authority and power of their positions as Dasiming and Xiaosiming.
But in Li Xuan’s hands, the scene was different.
Recognized by The Court of the mortal realm as ’Emperor Xuanhuang,’ Li Xuan controlled all deities within the mortal realm, allowing him to establish faling of ’Holy Heaven’ level through this item.
Of course, this was not without a cost, for Li Xuan had to continuously expend a great amount of vital essence and Divine Power to maintain the existence of these heavenly faling.
However, in Li Xuan’s view, ’Faling’ and ’Chengjie’ were extrely powerful, no less inferior to his ’Truth’ Rule.
This Book of Jinque was also an overwhelming aid that surpassed the Haotian Seal.
As for the "Qianqiu Pen," it was quite simple; its power was the Rule of ’Yinguo’ at the level of Extre Heaven, which could manipulate the Power of Yinguo through writing.
This ability seed very powerful, but the requirents for the user were great.
If the user’s power could not fix the ’consequence,’ then they could not generate the ’cause,’ and might even suffer a backlash.
As soon as Li Xuan took possession of this item and the Book of Jinque, he felt his Dragon Qi surge, and his Shi increased by threefold!
It was not only armies and wealth that could enhance a person’s Quan and Shi; a powerful divine treasure could do the sa.
Li Xuan was ecstatic. Possessing the "Haotian God Seal," "Book of Jinque," "Universe Array of the Large Circle," and "Qianqiu Pen," he now truly had the complete Heaven Emperor set and could undertake ’holding the Tianxian in his mouth.’
After experiencing and sensing all of this, Li Xuan looked up smilingly at Yuan Taiwei of the Shaosiming opposite him, who was glaring at him.
"Princess, don’t look at like that. I am doing this for the common good, out of necessity. These two items in my hands can serve their greatest purpose and protect Yuanfeng," Li Xuan said.
Feeling Yuan Taiwei’s gaze still sharp as a knife, he knew that the simple greater good would not appeal to her. So, his expression beca solemn, his tone shifting, "Rest assured, Princess. Once peace reigns in the world, and you repay your debts, I will certainly return these two divine treasures to Jinque Palace, without breaking my word."
It would still be impossible to repay, he knew. Yuan Taiwei had recently stockpiled a batch of silk worth around seventy million silver yuan.
She likely thought of hoarding to make a profit from the silk.
But she was unaware that due to a large increase in grain production in Jiangnan over the past two years, many households had turned their lower fields near the mountains into mulberry plantations, and the Shen Nong Institution had selected and bred silkworm species, leading to a substantial improvent in the length and quality of silk.
The price of silk was expected to drop significantly this year.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the wealthy rchant Hu Xueyan had been ruined by the silk business; it seed that Yuan Taiwei was about to follow in his footsteps—
In short, Yuan Taiwei’s debts were estimated to balloon to five hundred million this year.
"There is one more thing," Li Xuan said solemnly. "The First Emperor’s Seal has lacked maintenance until now. Even with my Fen Yang Prince Mansion working together with you, we could barely maintain the situation. However, in the coming years, I must focus on the Outer Taixu and will have limited ti.
Therefore, please find three to forty suitable heavenly level cultivators as soon as possible. I will enthrone them as Flesh Gods to fill the manpower shortage of Jinque Palace. Also, the Palace Masters of the Sayuan and Sixiang—these seven palaces need to be filled as soon as possible."
Yuan Taiwei couldn’t help but nod her head solemnly, "I understand, I will act on this matter promptly."
She thought that this Prince Fenyang indeed deeply grasped what was important and honored his commitnts.
Lately, Yuan Taiwei had indeed been troubled by the shortage of manpower; the more heavenly level cultivators there were active within the First Emperor’s Seal, the faster it would collapse.
