Almost simultaneously, Record and sensing erged together.
Tao Qian quickly ca to know what these "Special Abilities" were.
It was precisely the unusual features—such as the long ears, double teeth, Big Belly, Dragon Face, double pupils, and so on—that had erged during his Cultivation Tribulation and had, under the washing of the tribulation energy, rged into Tao Qian's treasure body after his Transcend Mortality, endowing him with several special abilities all at once.
For instance, with those long ears, even without Tao Qian casting any spells, rely by listening attentively, he could hear the faintest sounds from miles away, or even hundreds of miles away.
Then there were the double teeth, which would cause Tao Qian's tongue and teeth to exude a natural,
Qingjing fragrance, aning that even without utilizing any Decree Demon or invoking the True Word Secret Decree, he could make many Mortals involuntarily obey his commands, though it was more difficult with Cultivators, unless he paid a hefty price.
The effects of Big Belly, Dragon Face, double pupils, and so on were similar.
That is to say, Tao Qian at this mont,
Even if he did not use any mana, rely relying on his body's Special Abilities, could easily pass as an Immortal in the Mortal World.
And if he were to add mana on top of that, his Power would increase dramatically.
"Sharp-Hearing Ear, Thousand-Mile Eye, Inner World... Sounds quite similar to those Immortals and strange persons in the mythological legends."
"Indeed, sowhat akin to the Buddhist 'Thirty-two Forms,' or the Innate Divine Power like the one possessed by Brother Yang Jie, only mine erged from the washing of the postnatal tribulation energy."
"Nevertheless, it's an unexpected blessing."
"Now that I'm at the Perfect Transcend Mortality, and the richness of my mana could compare with the ordinary Cultivators of the Cavernous Mystery Realm, coupled with these Special Divine Skills and my Spirit Treasure Subli Body, even without the use of Buddha Bird Relics, Holy Embryo Bag, Nine Toad Bead, and other Exotic Treasures, I can engage in battle with those Independent Cultivators of Cave Profound, and perhaps even triumph over them."
"If I were to also rely on external objects, tsk tsk, I dare not imagine."
"The Third thod Cultivation Tribulation is terrifying as such."
"No wonder Uncle Qin Jiao, in the end, beca addicted and refused to return to the Sect for further Cultivation."
"I, however, am different, a coward through and through. After wandering for so long, I should return to Ascending Immortal Island to recuperate for so ti."
"It's ti for 'the wind sweeping across worldly society and the darkening of the rustic village; the surrounding mountains roaring like ocean waves, the fire from the brook's firewood softly warming the barbarian felt mats, where I and Kitten won't leave the door.'"
Muttering to himself, Tao Qian unconsciously quoted soone else's poetry.
He rather obscurely expressed his desire to return to the Penglai Sea for a period of happy and leisurely life, indulging in cat stroking.
Talk is cheap, and he was about to act.
However, Tao Qian quickly realized he could not.
This Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Light that had saved his life and also suspended him in the sky clearly had its own intentions.
Tao Qian wanted to move, but it remained still.
Even after he sensed sothing was wrong and repeatedly called out to the Heavenly Venerate, or tried to communicate with the Divine Light through spellcasting, all his struggles were in vain.
The Divine Light simply enveloped him, keeping him suspended in the sky.
Imdiately, Tao Qian's expression changed.
"Why is this happening? The price for using this Innate Spiritual Treasure Divine Light?"
"What kind of strange price is this? Making a Heavenly Lantern? How long must I stay lit?"
Initially panicking for a mont, Tao Qian soon noticed a clue.
It was still the Human Dao Fortune!
He had already accepted a considerable amount of Fortune, transforming it into treasure dicine, which helped him easily break through the Transcend Mortality barrier.
Normally, it should have stopped by now.
Like in Southern Yue, it was just a surge akin to a wild tide, and then it ceased.
Yet as Tao Qian hung in the sky, every so ti, more Fortune would gather towards him.
He struggled to no avail, and by the ti dawn arrived, another surge of trendous Fortune ca rushing in. As Tao Qian accepted it, he also saw the information within the Fortune and understood the reason in an instant.
"The events that transpired in Demon City and Yang Sui had been explosively spread throughout the world. Especially when Heavenly Destiny Emperor Zhu Yong announced his abdication and the abolishnt of the imperial title, revealing the Alchemist Organization's acts of prostrating themselves to the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty to leech off after the Emperor's death, it completely plunged the tens of billions of people in the seventy-two provinces into extre fury."
"At that mont, in Xiangxi and Ancient Qin provinces, the populace's awareness grew. In the past few hours, they organized rebel armies, overthrew the governnt offices of both provinces, and Zhang Jiudeng and Cai Yuanshen, the two Great Governors conferred by the court, fled. The forr even turned to cooperate with the rebel army."
"Both provinces declared today, at the hour of 7am to 9am, their complete secession from court governance, no longer recognizing the Zhu Dynasty, let alone the national title of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty. Rejecting the imperial system, they temporarily adopted a 'collective governance by the wise' model."
"The civilians from the two provinces have exceeded the number of one hundred million, all of whom are jubilant and inspired."
...
Along with this news ca the faces of common folk and the scenes akin to celebrations in every city within the two provinces.
It was these scenes that gave rise to another trendous wave of fortune, which then divided into nurous portions, flowing toward different individuals.
Tao Qian naturally received the largest share.
Receiving this great gift, Tao Qian faintly understood why the Divine Light remained hung in the sky above, not allowing him to leave the territories of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty.
"The gains from my third tribulation haven't ended yet."
"No, it could even be said that they have just begun."
"My thod of transcending the tribulation was sowhat crude, inspired by my previous life, I see it as normal developnt."
"But in this world, it might indeed be the first of its kind in two thousand years, utterly unique, even if the Alchemist Organization will do everything in its power to stop it, to mitigate its impact."
"Regrettably, it's probably too late now."
"Xiangxi, Ancient Qin, two provinces, perhaps, are they just a beginning?"
Tao Qian muttered this, sensing a premonition.
And this premonition soon began to turn into reality at an alarming rate.
The territories of the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty were much larger than in his previous life, but one should also know that this world was not free of demons.
In this world, the transcendent was everywhere.
Accordingly, the ans of communication were also much faster than in his previous life.
About six hours later, Tao Qian, hanging in the sky, received another trendous wave of fortune, still attached with that Record-like ssage.
"Inside Sanjin Province, there is a secret society called the Great Unity Society, ford by a group of young cultivator heroes, each with impressive backgrounds, belonging to different sects of Daoist and Buddhist, demon, and heredox paths within Jin Province. The leader's surna is Yan, hailing from the Buddhist Temple 'Hanging Temple'; he is disillusioned and audacious in his ambitions."
"Following the spread of Yang Sui's uprising, he rallied the other heroes of the Great Unity Society, launching a surprise attack on the Governor Mansion in the provincial capital, using a Buddhist Array, the Demon Extinguishing Vajra Array, to kill the Governor surnad Lu, sent by the court to keep order, on the spot."
"After seizing the Governor Mansion, the Great Unity Society rallied a million civilians within the province, seeking aid from various major sects. With the irrefutable will of all people, the sects had no choice but to respond... With this, the Great Unity Society completely took control of Sanjin Province."
"Following Xiangxi and Ancient Qin provinces, Jin Province also announced its independence to the nation, no longer recognizing the imperial title and governnt."
"The province's governance will adopt the Great Unity Society model, drawing upon the ancient sages' idea of 'great unity under heaven'."
When this news spread across the world, the fervor added another fla.
However, Tao Qian, after sharing the fortune with that group of cultivator heroes of the Great Unity Society, discerned sothing else.
But for the mont, Tao Qian couldn't tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"From the fortune, one may glimpse that the court originally had very successful control over Sanjin Province, one of the few large provinces not ravaged by rebel armies. Major sects like Hanging Temple, Five Blessings Sect, Taihao Sect, Red Crown Mountain, and others were unable to ddle in secular affairs. This was not due to a lack of power, but rather a kind of tacit agreent, a sort of invisible covenant."
"Yet the cultivator heroes from the Great Unity Society, born within these sects, used public opinion and a roundabout strategy to break this covenant."
"If Jin Province can do it, couldn't other provinces also follow suit?"
Shortly after this thought arose in Tao Qian, it once again beca a reality.
Three hours!
Just three hours later, Tao Qian once more received a trendous wave of fortune.
"After learning the true nature of the Yang Sui Uprising, the Great Governor of Yundian Province, Lu Qianjun, announced to the nation again, declaring the complete independence of Yundian."
"Not only refusing the governnt's jurisdiction, declining to recognize the imperial governnt, but also explicitly stating that no mbers of the Zhu Royal Family and any other forr imperial families are welco to enter Yundian."
"Lu Qianjun acted personally, executing a strategist nad 'Emperor Bai Guang', one of the Alchemist Organization's Saint Heirs, who attempted to bewitch Lu Qianjun into restoring the imperial governnt and reviving the title of Longevity Heavenly Dynasty."
"To prevent retaliation from alchemists against himself and the people of Yundian, Lu Qianjun ventured deep into the mountains to invite the reclusive sect the 'Illusion God Sect'. Despite belonging to heterodox paths, this sect's foundation dates back very early, and its ancestor even reached the Realm of Tribulation Immortal, practicing both Daoism and Buddhism."
"Lu Qianjun announced that from this day forward within Yundian Province, the Cultivation World would belong to cultivators, and the Mortal World to the secular; anyone who crosses these boundaries will be executed without rcy."
