463: Chapter 463 Imperial Observatory, Turmoil in Central China

"Lord of the Dazheng Dynasty, Hun Tiandi, we meet again."

Suddenly, that figure standing against the wind stood tall and proud. The familiar voice that rang out was quite a surprise to Hun Tiandi, who had just escaped danger.

"You... are Senior Mud Bodhisattva?" Hun Tiandi asked in surprise.

Hahaha.

A black-robed figure appeared before Hun Tiandi, letting out a sigh of admiration: "You truly are a person of great fortune, and your subordinates are also the cream of the crop among men."

"Every profession has its specialty. This junior was fortunate enough to recruit these talents. Finding Mud Bodhisattva was not difficult; besides, you did not hide your identity, so it was natural to find you."

Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"You won," Mud Bodhisattva smiled slightly and sighed.

"I wonder if Senior's conditions from back then still stand?" Hun Tiandi asked solemnly.

"Naturally. Once I, Mud Bodhisattva, have spoken, I never go back on my word. It seems my Mud Bodhisattva lineage has an indissoluble bond with your Dazheng Dynasty."

"I am willing to accept defeat. I am not someone who cannot afford to lose; I will assist you from now on."

Mud Bodhisattva said with emotion.

Phew!

Hun Tiandi took a deep breath and spoke: "Then many thanks. From this moment on, the Dazheng Dynasty will add a new department, the Imperial Board of Astronomy, and you shall be the Director of the Imperial Board of Astronomy."

"I do not wish to expose myself too much," Mud Bodhisattva said with some hesitation.

"No matter. You do not need to attend court. You are still yourself; you only need to treat the Dazheng Dynasty as your own home." Hun Tiandi's gaze was deep as he looked at Mud Bodhisattva.

"Long live, long live, long live the Emperor," Mud Bodhisattva said in a stiff tone.

Having gained the assistance of Mud Bodhisattva, Hun Tiandi felt extremely gratified. With Mud Bodhisattva, a Feng Shui Master, the Dazheng Dynasty finally had the capital to march into the Central Plains.

In these years, Hun Tiandi had painstakingly studied "Forging the Heavenly Court" and the resources left by the Dragon Emperor, and his horizons had already expanded to the Major Thousand Worlds.

The strength of a Fortune Dynasty depends not only on power but also on its foundation.

A Feng Shui Master is a kind of foundation, one that can elevate a Fortune Dynasty by several levels.

The Dazheng Dynasty was able to subdue this Feng Shui Master; according to research data, Feng Shui Masters are divided into Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost.

There are five lineages of Feng Shui, and Mud Bodhisattva stands independent of these five lineages.

He marveled in his heart; being able to recruit Mud Bodhisattva upon coming to the Central Plains this time was definitely worth it.

Immediately, Hun Tiandi began to heal. The Dou Qi in his body had long been exhausted; if not for his special constitution, it would have been difficult to endure.

He swallowed Spirit Wine and pills, and as his cultivation technique operated to refine them, pure Dou Qi once again flowed through his meridians, and the feeling of weakness in his body vanished.

Mud Bodhisattva stood to the side, acting as his protector.

An hour later, Hun Tiandi had fully recovered. Feeling the surging power within his body, he realized that indeed, there is great terror between life and death.

His strength had improved somewhat; he was not far from becoming a Two-star Dou Huang.

Opening his eyes, two streaks of blood-red light swirled within. Hun Tiandi stood up and moved toward the outside, with Mud Bodhisattva following behind him.

Having escaped from the Pill World, the whereabouts of Mei Niang and Heavenly Crocodile were unknown.

Additionally, Qing Yue and Liu Ling had also been separated. Most importantly, Hao Meili had been possessed by Demon Lord Qiandu, and her life or death was unknown.

With Hun Tiandi's current strength, he could not stop it either; he could only find everyone's tracks first.

Seven days later, Hun Tiandi and Mud Bodhisattva arrived at a massive city.

Both were wrapped in black robes. At the city gate, they saw the portraits of the three: Hun Tiandi, Mei Niang, and Heavenly Crocodile.

"The Pill Tower Killing Order... it seems these three have really infuriated the Dan Ta Three Giants..."

"This youth is truly bold. It seems he disrupted this year's Pill Gathering, causing the top Alchemists on the continent to give up their eligibility."

"This person's name is truly resounding, Hun Tiandi?"

"What? Could it be that forbidden ancient race? Weren't they already wiped out?"

"Sigh, it should just be a coincidence of the same name. If it were really that person, how could he be pursued by the Pill Tower? That would be a peak expert of the continent."

The discussions rising and falling at the city gate all reached Hun Tiandi's ears.

"Pill Tower Killing Order? Dan Ta Three Giants? Just wait for this Emperor..." Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile. After paying the entrance gold coins, the two stepped into the city.

To find everyone's traces, he still needed the informants of the Darong Chamber of Commerce.

The two found a restaurant and ordered some food and drink; the key was that restaurants were a source of information.

This turmoil in the Central Plains was intensifying, drawing the attention of various parties.

The Lei Clan.

Atop a mountain peak that pierced the clouds, muffled thunder rolled. A blue-robed figure sat cross-legged in a sea of lightning. She was beautiful enough to make the moon hide and flowers blush. The originally violent lightning became docile upon approaching her.

It slowly merged into her body, and her aura was gradually surging.

This woman was Lei Xuanji, who had returned to the Lei Clan. After parting with Hun Tiandi due to urgent matters, she had returned to the clan for secluded cultivation.

A figure hurried over from a distance. It was a servant girl with the air of a girl from a modest family, holding a portrait scroll in her hand.

She was waiting anxiously, because the person in this portrait was exactly the one the young lady had arranged to find before her seclusion.

She hadn't expected this person to be so formidable as to actually provoke a Central Plains giant like the Pill Tower. His end would likely not be very good.

Buzz!

Lei Xuanji, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils seemed like a world of lightning, filled with destruction.

"Miss, you've come out of seclusion! There is news of the person you were looking for..." the servant girl said quickly.

Lei Xuanji reached out and grabbed, and the portrait flew up and landed in her hand.

"Yun Tian? Hun Tiandi? You liar..." Lei Xuanji said through gritted teeth.

Sound Valley.

Fairy Tianyin sat cross-legged in a pavilion, staring blankly at the portrait released by the Pill Tower.

"Yin'er, this kid is truly bold to make the Pill Tower issue a killing order."

A beautiful woman beside her lamented.

"Mother, no matter who he provokes, he is still my, Tian Yin's, husband," Fairy Tianyin said firmly.

The beautiful woman shook her head helplessly.

Starfall Pavilion.

Inside the main hall, Ghost Demon held the portrait, his eyes filled with killing intent as he spoke: "He actually didn't die. How did Elder Huang handle things?"

"Pass down the order. Find this person for me and kill him."

"Yes, Young Master," the guard beside him said coldly, turning to leave the hall.

Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.

"Just who are you?" Pavilion Master Tang Ying looked at the portrait and fell into deep thought. "Are you Yun Tian? Or Hun Tiandi?"

In his heart, he had high hopes for Yun Tian, not hesitating to pass down the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's foundational technique to cultivate him as a successor.

He hadn't expected that after he went into seclusion, his disciple would face pursuit from the Xiao Family and Starfall Pavilion.

Being forced to withdraw from the sect made him extremely angry.

In these years, the friction between Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and Starfall Pavilion had become increasingly intense; a great war would break out sooner or later.

At the same time, Yao Ling of the Medicine Clan, Tang Junyao of Burning Flame Valley, Venerable Qingyun of the Qingyun Sect... all received news that Hun Tiandi had infuriated the Pill Tower.

A killing order had even been issued.

For a time, turmoil reappeared in the Central Plains, with Hun Tiandi alone stirring up the winds and clouds. Many forces were just watching the spectacle.

Such as Burning Flame Valley and Starfall Pavilion...

There were also many who worried about him, such as Feng Qianyou of the Pill Tower, Fairy Tianyin of Sound Valley, and Lei Xuanji of the Lei Clan...

Hun Tiandi, who was in the eye of the storm, was not flustered at all. He didn't take the Pill Tower's pursuit to heart in the slightest.

Mud Bodhisattva, sitting opposite him, watched to see how this young monarch would escape danger.

Since parting at Sound Valley, Mud Bodhisattva had been secretly observing Hun Tiandi, until he established the Dazheng Fortune Dynasty in the Black-Corner Region, went on the journey to the East Sea Ruins, and wiped out the Mu Lan Empire.

He had led his army to the northwest, destroying the Tianshe Empire and the Izumo Empire, unifying the Northwest Continent.

The Three Saints of the Xiao Family had arrived with a host of experts to pressure the Dazheng Dynasty, only to be repelled by Hun Tiandi.

Not only did they fail to gain any advantage, but they also suffered heavy losses in troops and generals.

Hun Tiandi was young, yet he could turn his hand to make clouds and cover it to make rain. One must know that the Xiao Family's reputation on the continent was extremely resounding.
