183: Chapter 182 Awakening the Princess

Great Xia Royal Palace.

"Revered Master, the Sect Leader of the Qingcang Sword Sect requests an audience outside the hall," Chu Meng spoke respectfully within the royal hall.

"Sect Leader Song and I are old acquaintances; there's no need for such mundane formalities. Come in and let's talk."

Following Ye Xiu's words.

A middle-aged Daoist slowly entered the hall. His body was thick with the aura of the Great Dao, clearly indicating he had completely mastered a certain Dao and entered the Dao Lord Realm.

"Not bad... Sect Leader Song has already reached such a Realm. Congratulations."

"Haha... Ever since the last change in heaven and earth, for some reason, the people of our Great Xia have become much more attuned to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." Sect Leader Song laughed, making no secret of his experience in becoming a Dao Lord.

It seems Xingyue gave Great Xia quite a bit of special treatment when she unified the world back then.

Unfortunately, my old friend is no longer here.

Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

He then asked, "Sect Leader Song, for what matter have you come today?"

"By order of my Revered Master, I have come to deliver an invitation to the King of Great Xia."

"Oh?"

Ye Xiu took the invitation.

He opened it.

A hint of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.

A scheme for Luck?

Master Zhang was actually involved in this Fengshan ceremony matter as well.

He closed the invitation.

Ye Xiu nodded to Sect Leader Song below and said, "Sect Leader, go back and tell the Immortal Master that I will naturally attend when the time comes. Please tell Master Zhang not to worry."

"In that case, this humble Daoist will not disturb King Xia any longer."

Sect Leader Song cupped his hands slightly, and after exiting the royal hall, he slowly vanished from within the Great Xia Royal Palace.

In the royal hall.

Ye Xiu looked at the wangquan sword in his hand, a few thoughts rising in his mind.

Master Zhang, Laozi, Zhang Daoling, and Xie Ziran—what kind of plan did these four Daoist Ancestral Masters have with Ji Xingyue?

That was the question.

Three days later.

Qingcang Daoist Sect...

On the simple and unadorned mountain peak, it was the same as usual—no noisy clamor, only the unified chanting of Daoist scriptures.

Inside Taiyi Hall.

Four Daoists sat discussing the Dao.

Suddenly.

A young man wearing royal robes slowly materialized in Taiyi Hall.

Seeing the newcomer, the four immediately stopped their discussion.

Then.

As the host, Master Zhang immediately smiled and said, "The King of Great Xia's strength is indeed unfathomable."

"The Immortal Master jokes. Greetings to you, Seniors."

Ye Xiu laughed heartily and cupped his hands slightly.

The four people before him could be considered the four Ancestral Masters of Daoism. The strongest was Laozi, whose world had already begun to merge with his Physical Body; within ten thousand years, he would surely reach the Supreme Realm.

"A single day apart feels like three autumns. As for King Xia's strength, we truly cannot even hope to catch up." Laozi stroked his beard, his eyes showing not much surprise, as if everything was within his expectations.

"This humble Daoist is Zhang Daoling, and this is Layman Xie."

The middle-aged Daoist spoke and introduced them.

Ye Xiu looked at them, his estimation of the Daoist Sect rising significantly.

Three Immortals and one half-step Supreme.

Only a few hundred years had passed in this dharma-ending age; such strength was truly unimaginably powerful.

"We invited King Xia here today to discuss the previous scheme with the Princess Consort."

Master Zhang was the first to speak after inviting everyone to sit.

"What did the Princess Consort promise before?" Ye Xiu held his teacup, and after taking a light sip, he looked at the four of them.

"All Luck shall belong to the King of Xia, but the King of Xia must protect Great Xia so that it lasts for ten thousand generations."

"The four Seniors truly have the common people in your hearts."

"Daoism originally stems from this era, and the rise and fall of the Daoist gates are also linked to this era. If the world prospers, the Daoist gates prosper, which is also the prosperity of the Great Dao."

Zhang Daoling explained.

Ye Xiu set down his teacup. "The Luck Fengshan, taking control of the Luck of this era, is not easy. Did you have a plan before?"

As his voice fell.

Laozi spoke up: "The previous discussion with the Princess Consort was indeed for the Luck of the era, but this Main World has already been unified by the Princess Consort. Perhaps the Luck of the entire world can be used by King Xia."

"The entire world? Including all eras within the endless flow of time?"

Ye Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

If that were truly the case, the wangquan sword would grow to a terrifying level.

Perhaps it could even compete with the book of life and death he controlled.

"Naturally, it includes all eras."

"The Luck of the Imperial Court will likely not be easy to seize."

"This was naturally impossible to achieve before, but hasn't the Princess Consort now become the Star Emperor? As long as King Xia can awaken the Princess Consort's consciousness within the Star Emperor's body, this matter of Luck will not be difficult."

Laozi stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"Awakening the Princess Consort's consciousness will likely not be easy."

Ye Xiu's brow furrowed.

Xing Mu's current strength was too great. Even if the Three Souls into One had failed, the 'Three Bodies into One' had succeeded.

She had gathered her past self and future self into the present.

It was likely hard to find an opponent even among those in the Honored Seats. For him to want to awaken Ji Xingyue's consciousness from such a powerful being would likely be difficult.

"That is for King Xia to consider. The four of us can only assist King Xia during the ceremony."

"I will do my best in this matter, but I cannot guarantee success."

"King Xia will succeed. This Main World's attachment to Great Xia has already explained many things. King Xia only needs to appear before the Star Emperor more often, and you will naturally be able to awaken the Princess Consort."

After Laozi's words fell.

Master Zhang followed up: "Scheming for the Luck of Heaven and Earth requires more than just the Imperial Court; it also requires a Luck Sacred Beast. However, King Xia need not worry about this; the Daoist gates will handle it for you."

Afterward.

The five of them began to discuss the details.
