Capítulo 1501: Chapter 94: 500 Years of Heavenly Realm Fate (2/2)
The Qi chanism between the two exploded instantly, and in the fleeting clash invisible to others, the old man’s right hand finally stopped in front of Chu Tianxing’s pupils.
At the sa ti, countless ripples appeared within an inch of the major acupoints around Chu Tianxing, as if sumr rain falling on a lotus pond; three lotuses of pure white Qi gathered atop Chu Tianxing’s head, and a jade stamp resembling a Jade Seal rotated slowly amidst the three flowers, casting down layers of invisible Qi chanism barriers.
Even with the old man’s prowess, he still couldn’t break through the final barrier.
The Qi chanism from the nurous exchanges had created many abnormal phenona in the sky, and the cold Sword Qi unleashed by the middle-aged swordsman ford a downpour enveloping the entire Heaven Capital City. The raindrops began with a gentle patter and gradually turned into a torrential rain.
The onlookers hurriedly fled from the rain, leaving the bluestone streets enveloped in a chilling aura.
The Emperor surrounded by officials in court attire erged from the imperial hall, his eyes raised skyward, seemingly scrutinizing sothing. After a mont passed, he calmly said:
“Co down, Li Lian.”
The nearly decrepit old man coughed, turned to bow to the Emperor, and said:
“As you command.”
As the old man turned, he waved his sleeve, sweeping the grand force over Heaven and Earth.
The torrential rain engulfing Heaven Capital City was instantly whisked away by Vigorous Qi without harming any of the populace.
The Celestial rode the auspicious clouds across a thousand miles.
In that mont, all the auspicious clouds dispersed, leaving a clear, cloudless day for thousands of miles centered around Heaven Capital City, with only the patch of auspicious clouds above remaining due to Chu Tianxing’s presence, stabilized yet pitiful compared to the vast aura from afar.
Li Lian, now seemingly in poor health, unable to sustain such exertion, coughed violently several tis, then pointing to the military general held by Chu Tianxing, he softly said:
“I wonder if I might trouble the esteed guest to release this disciple of mine?”
“His nature is sowhat honest and straightforward, always jumping to conclusions; seeing such a grand formation, he mistook the esteed guest for an invading bandit. I certainly intend to reprimand him well later.”
Chu Tianxing chuckled lightly, casually saying:
“This flaw isn’t trivial indeed. The old sir must manage him well.”
He then flicked his hand, tossing the military general to the ground, lifted by a gentle Qi chanism from Li Lian. The old eunuch slightly bowed, coughed as he landed, knelt and saluted the Emperor, pleading forgiveness for his rash actions. The Emperor nodded slightly, dismissing him for the ti being, then looked at the nurous Celestials on the ground.
Faced with such a situation, the Emperor still appeared equanimous, showing no trace of anger.
He even permitted these figures to proceed to the Tai Chi Palace halls for an audience with the officials, which Chu Tianxing smilingly accepted. The civil and military ministers looked upon the distinguished, white-haired old man with apprehension and lingering hostility.
They were acutely aware of the so-called Celestials that erged amid the Northern Frontier and Western Regions conflicts.
Therefore, when Chu Tianxing stood so casually in a place representing the central authority of Great Qin, each person felt a sense of humiliation and unease throughout their being. The Emperor continued to sit atop the dragon throne, his eyes unreadable as they landed on Chu Tianxing, speaking calmly:
“Why has Mr. Chu co here?”
“If I recall correctly, you and I are still in opposition at this ti.”
Chu Tianxing smiled calmly, saying: “I am here for a transaction with the earthly Emperor.”
“A transaction?”
“Indeed, a transaction.”
“We wish not to war with the Central Plains; the culture and resources of the Western Regions and Northern Frontier can hardly compare to the great Central Plains. We can act for the Emperor, securing victories from within and without for the Western Regions and Northern Frontier. Then, His Majesty can expand the territories, incorporating the vast expanse into the Qin State.”
“At that ti, Your Majesty as Emperor will forever be rembered through the ages.”
“Future generations shall be able to compose poems on the distant hills of the Western Regions, to play the flute beneath Jade Pot Mountain. The realm under your rule shall extend to unprecedented dinsions, and you shall be hailed as the Great Qin’s venerable Martial Emperor, enjoying perpetual sacrifices!”
The ministers initially anticipated the Celestial ca provokingly, or to display dominance, not expecting such a scenario, they stood bewildered. Knowing the enemy’s words cannot be believed lightly, they remained alert, yet swayed by the scenes Chu Tianxing described.
The Emperor maintained a bland expression, unmoved, and replied faintly:
“Is it so favorable?”
Chu Tianxing smiled mildly, saying: “Naturally, His Majesty needs to offer so compensation.”
“Compensation? What did you an?”
“We need not gold or goods, nor ranks or titles, rely require His Majesty to build Prayer Towers in each of the seventy-two county cities, each housing three hundred sixty-five offerings; then to establish a three-hundred-foot Plucking Star Tower in Heaven Capital City, and we shall assist His Majesty.”
“Moreover, upon each Prince’s ascension, immortals shall descend to assist.”
“To cleanse their bodies with Heavenly River water, imbibe dicinal concoctions, forge pure bodies extending life.”[
“As such, they may ascend the throne.”
“Thus may the imperial business remain invincible through a hundred generations.”
After Zhou Fengyue departed, Changsun Nian, now head of the Imperial Court officials, underwent a sudden change in his expression, disregarding decorum as he stepped forth to bow before the Emperor, exclaiming:
“Your Majesty must not!”
“This action places the so-called Celestials above the ruler, placing the nation’s welfare and ancestral heritage at foreign hands, thereby tying countless civilians’ livelihoods and lives to a single thought, an extermination strategy, Your Majesty!”
“Please, let Your Majesty see wisely!”
Lin Zizai, temporarily serving as censor-in-chief, followed suit, bowing cold-eyed:
“This figure intends to disturb our governance; I dare plead with Your Majesty to order the arrest of this scoundrel!”
“I dare plead with Your Majesty to order the arrest of this scoundrel!”
One minister after another followed and bowed, leaving only Chu Tianxing standing alone in the hall smiling at the Emperor upon the dragon throne, the Emperor’s rare anger mixed with killing intent causing his brows to raise slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed Chu Tianxing’s eyes.
Within Chu Tianxing’s sleeve, the Heaven-Flipping Seal containing five hundred years of Heavenly Realm fortune rotated faintly, releasing a rolling spring thunder.
The vast Dragon Qi had been neutralized.
His eyes bore a hint of smile, observing the Emperor, using the Heart Imprint Technique. Everyone prostrate on the ground failed to notice the high and mighty monarch’s montary struggle, rage, and the mindless numbness ensued from continual pressure.
Chu Tianxing’s breath beca slightly ragged, his body rocking backwards as he steadied himself.
The nearby officials noticed his abnormality, mistakenly assuming the Celestial finally felt fear, coldly snorted raising their fury and killing intent born from humiliation. Yet at this juncture, all heard the Emperor’s calm voice from the dragon throne:
“This stratagem…”
“I, approve.”
Changsun Nian and Lin Zizai’s faces showed montary shock and bewildernt, they lifted their heads sharply, witnessing the Emperor unchanged from usual, entirely disbelieving what they heard. Laughing Tiger Li Sheng, beside the Imperial seat, felt disbelief, glancing at the Emperor found nothing peculiar.
No one spoke until the Emperor rose, delayed compared to usual, suddenly seeming to realize he announced: “Dismiss the court.”
Changsun Nian’s face darkened as he rose to chase, stopped by the guard, his face livid as he shouted:
“Your Majesty! You mustn’t, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty.”
The officials were in disarray, yet Chu Tianxing offered a slight smile.
His hands inserted into his cloud-sleeves, slightly bowing to the dazed Emperor.
“Thank you…”
He raised his eyes, a cold and indifferent mirth within.
“Your Majesty.”
