According to the customary practice in the Immortal Realm, whenever the sovereignty of a Great Domain changes hands, the na of the Great Domain can be replaced with the na of the new ruler’s power.
Therefore, Taiping Dao renaming the Changqing Domain was actually quite normal and did not exceed the expectations of outsiders.
Because this is sothing every Overlord Immortal Sect does.
If there’s sothing surprising, it’s that Lu Yuan was in such a hurry; he had just defeated the Qing Immortal Sect and had not even firmly secured his position before he started changing the domain’s na the next year.
In the original expectations of the masses, Taiping Dao was supposed to maintain the current state for a while and wait until a Great True Person erged from their ranks, firmly securing their position as the overlord.
And then, they would announce to the world that the hegemony of the Changqing Domain had been replaced, which would make their claim legitimate.
To outsiders, Lu Yuan’s hasty actions appeared sowhat arrogant.
Your Taiping Dao has indeed achieved victory, but it’s just that you’ve defeated the Qing Immortal Sect.
The incumbent leader of Qing Immortal Sect, Yang Jihua, is still alive, constantly thinking about restoration from outside!
Within this Donghua Continent, it’s unknown how many people resent the parvenu-like Taiping Dao and the Radiant Immortal Dynasty, always thinking about secretly tripping them up.
In short, until Taiping Dao produces a Heavenly Immortal, their hegemony in the Changqing Domain cannot be considered stable and could be subverted at any ti.
Taiping Dao is now happily celebrating, but if a few hundred years pass and Yang Jihua returns, or other strong enemies invade, whether Taiping Dao can withstand them remains uncertain.
At this ti, with the enterprise not yet solid, they’re rashly boasting their achievents and changing the Great Domain’s na, which only a complete victor could claim—what is this if not arrogance and self-conceit?
Overall, many Immortal Sects that received invitations from Taiping Dao felt like putting a crown on a monkey, elevating an unworthy one to fa.
So who disliked the rise of Taiping Dao were secretly plotting, looking forward to the day they would see Taiping Dao knocked into the dust and beco a laughingstock.
Even Immortal Sects like Dongyang Mountain, which favored Taiping Dao, like Li Ruoqing and Wang Shizhou, felt anxious when they received the invitation.
Concerned that their friends were blinded by the current victory and had made an ill-suited move.
Even within the Nine Provinces, those who had just allied with Taiping Dao such as Radiant Immortal Dynasty, Heavenly River Sect’s Huang Yuanxiu, and Yuchan Tao’s Gu Huaiyuan sent letters asking Lu Yuan if he was being a bit too hasty and expressed their concerns.
Regarding Taiping Dao’s domain na changing action, this ti, from external enemies to internal allies, nobody really saw it favorably.
Facing such massive opposition and still pushing for this change, the pressure on Lu Yuan as the person involved was naturally imaginable.
However, contrary to what outsiders speculated, Lu Yuan’s persistence in changing the domain na was not out of a desire for glory or being blinded by smooth progress; he had his compelling reasons.
Letting the legitimate part govern the distinction of high and low, only then can everyone submit internally and outsiders willingly follow.
This ans that only when legitimacy is established can one clearly differentiate the noble from the base, get subordinates to serve for the sake of rank, and attract outsiders to join.
Though Taiping Dao now unified Changqing Domain, they only exercised control over it in practice and not in na.
Such a rule, as long as it still bears the na of Changqing Domain, remains day by day the role of a rebellious usurper, illegitimate and unsmooth in speech.
Now Taiping Dao is like a minister controlling the power of a nation, possessing all the rights of an emperor, lacking only the title of Heavenly Son.
Without striving for the throne, one remains a servant, not a lord.
Not being the lord ans a continuous risk of being depowered and risks associated with being attacked for rebellion.
Those following him can never settle in wealth and cannot work peacefully.
And the solution to these problems is only one, to abolish the Heavenly Son, pass on the mandate, and establish a New Dynasty.
In the Immortal Realm, this ans changing the domain na after eliminating the previous overlord and starting a new era for the Great Domain.
Of course, Lu Yuan, in overthrowing Qing Immortal Sect with military power, practiced an imperial thod and established his base all by his own strength, never submitting to or relying on Qing Immortal Sect’s power.
Thus, his actions were not regarded as those of a rebellious usurper, nor did he need to worry about being attacked for rebellion.
But continuously bearing the na of Changqing Domain, even though he founded the nation, using the previous dynasty’s na still seed improper, like a monkey adorned in silk.
If it were just this, it might still be bearable.
A little reputation lost, as long as the substantial benefits are secured, losing face is tolerable.
But what made Lu Yuan intolerable was that the vast Changqing Domain he had hard-fought for, the land of thirty-nine nations, because of a re issue of naming, caused a direct loss of twenty percent of the Qi Luck provided to him.
Yes, a full twenty percent.
Lu Yuan’s cultivation nowadays mainly relied on two resources: Qi Number and Qi Luck.
Among these, Qi Number is the fixed output of the mountains and rivers’ geography, constantly provided as long as Divine Spirits helped sort out the Earth Vein, which didn’t worry Lu Yuan.
But Qi Luck was different.
The output of Qi Luck depends on the size of the territory occupied, which determines how much Qi Luck is provided.
