35: Chapter 35 The Realm of the Human Emperor, the Dynasty Advances!

Zhaoyang Hall was filled with silence.

Because of a single sentence from Li Xuan.

Su Wanli lay prone on the ground.

His body was trembling violently.

His head struck the floor repeatedly, making thumping sounds.

There was no longer any semblance of a chamber of commerce president left in him.

Su Muxue stood there dumbfounded, her face deathly pale.

She looked at that man.

The man who could decide the fate of the world with a single word.

The humiliation in her heart gradually dissipated.

A sense of awe arose spontaneously.

"Rise."

Li Xuan's voice was calm, yet no one dared to disobey.

He waved his hand.

A gentle force lifted Su Wanli up.

"Tonight, I will hold the grand wedding for the two of you."

The imperial edict from Retired Emperor Li Zhan caused the entire Great Xia Imperial Palace to erupt in chaos.

The palace, which had been silent for a long time, came alive.

The Retired Emperor was taking a concubine.

And the one he was marrying was the only daughter of the wealthy Tianbao Chamber of Commerce president.

The palace maids and eunuchs were running about frantically.

Everyone's face was filled with joy.

Red silk and lanterns were hung everywhere.

The entire Imperial Capital of Great Xia was swept into a grand yet hasty wedding celebration.

Night.

The lanterns were lit.

Zhaoyang Hall was a sea of red.

The windows were covered with bright red 'double happiness' characters.

Su Muxue, dressed in a phoenix crown and ceremonial robes, sat quietly on the edge of the bed.

The intricate wedding dress and dazzling jewelry.

Made her sickly face appear even more fragile, evoking pity.

Her heart was in turmoil.

From the moment she was dragged by her father to kneel.

Her life was no longer her own to decide.

Was this a new beginning, or a more magnificent cage?

She did not know.

"Creak."

The hall door was pushed open.

Li Xuan walked in.

He was not wearing wedding attire, but was still in his white casual robes.

Yet as soon as he entered, even the festive red filling the room paled in comparison to him.

He stood there.

He was the center of it all.

Their eyes met.

Su Muxue lowered her eyes, her heart pounding.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Li Xuan walked up to her and spoke calmly.

Su Muxue did not speak, clutching the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

"From now on, you are the woman of Li Xuan."

Li Xuan did not mind her silence and continued.

"In this world, no one can hurt you again, and no one can bully you again."

"This includes your illness."

After speaking, he sat cross-legged in front of Su Muxue and extended a hand.

"Come."

Su Muxue hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she placed her small, ice-cold hand tremblingly into Li Xuan's large palm.

Upon contact.

Li Xuan raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens.

This is not a hand.

It is simply a block of ice.

The chaotic Magic Treasure Qi was running rampant in her body, nearly devouring all her vitality.

If it were anyone else.

Forget about curing her; even touching her would cause them to be burst apart by the Magic Treasure Qi on the spot.

"Bear with it, it might get a little hot."

Li Xuan reminded her calmly.

The next second.

The Great Sun Furnace Scripture within his body began to circulate.

Hum!

A small sun rose within Zhaoyang Hall.

Pure golden Qi and blood flowed down Li Xuan's arm, turning into a golden torrent that surged into Su Muxue's body.

"Ugh!"

Su Muxue let out a muffled groan.

It felt as if her whole body had been thrown into a volcano.

That scorching, domineering force was rampaging through her riddled Meridians.

Pain.

Intense pain.

This intense pain far exceeded any suffering she had endured in her life.

But, right in the midst of this intense pain.

Her incomplete Ten Thousand Treasures Glazed Body was like a starving beast that had caught the scent of blood.

It instinctively began to devour frantically.

The cold Magic Treasure Qi entrenched in her internal organs was like snow meeting the sun in the face of this golden Qi and blood.

It was rapidly evaporated and melted.

No.

It was being refined.

The domineering aspect of the Great Sun Furnace Scripture was its ability to refine all things.

The chaotic Magic Treasure Qi that had once made her wish for death was now being forcibly purified and packaged by Li Xuan's golden Qi and blood.

Then, it was poured back into the Origin of her Physique.

Miraculous phenomena appeared within Zhaoyang Hall.

Phantoms of countless rare treasures appeared and disappeared around the two of them.

Divine metals, immortal jades, holy medicines, and imperial weapons.

Legendary items transformed into light and shadow, dancing around them.

Finally, they all submerged into the center of Su Muxue's eyebrows.

Her incomplete Physique Origin was being rapidly completed.

Her pale face also began to glow with a healthy flush.

Vitality was returning.

I do not know how much time passed.

When the last wisp of Magic Treasure Qi was refined.

The Meridians inside Su Muxue had been reshaped to be crystal clear.

She opened her eyes.

Boom!

A powerful aura surged from her body into the sky.

Divine Treasury Realm.

Cave-Heaven Realm.

Array Formation Realm.

The moment her Physique was completed, her cultivation base skyrocketed, breaking through the shackles of a Mortal and soaring directly to the Peak of the Array Formation Realm.

Li Xuan also withdrew his hand.

The long-lost System notification sound rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully marrying the Daughter of Destiny, 'Su Muxue'!]

[Ding! Successfully completed her Physique Origin, fulfilling the hidden achievements 'Marriage of Commerce' and 'Miraculous Recovery'!]

[Rewards are being calculated.]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Massive cultivation base infusion! One million Luck points!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: A brand new System feature — 'Luck Altar'!]

Rumble—

Just as the System's voice fell.

A surge of energy, even more massive than when he devoured the Human Emperor's decree, gushed out from the Void Realm and poured into Li Xuan's body.

His Bottleneck at the Peak of the ninth level of the Marquis Realm shattered with a roar.

Above the Marquis Realm is the Human Emperor Realm.

Once one enters the Human Emperor Realm, one has a Lifespan of ten thousand years and shares the same fate as the nation.

Inside and outside Li Xuan's body, drastic changes were taking place.

His Divine Soul and Physical Body underwent a transformation, beginning to resonate with this world and the Luck of the entire Great Xia Divine Dynasty.

Outside Zhaoyang Hall, heavenly phenomena descended.

Above the entire Imperial Capital of Great Xia, a massive amount of Spiritual Qi surged and gathered, forming a giant vortex.

Inside the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

The long-silent Nine Dragons Heaven-Locking Grand Array was activated.

No, it was no longer nine dragons.

Nine illusory Golden Dragons of Fortune let out a dragon roar, all surging out of the array at once, merging into one in mid-air.

Roar—

A dragon roar echoed throughout the entire Wilderness Desolation.

A five-clawed divine Dragon, over ten thousand zhang long and formed entirely of pure golden Luck, coiled above the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Its dragon body covered the sky.

Its dragon might suppressed the world.

Its appearance announced that a Divine Dynasty had risen.

[Ding! Detected that the Host's cultivation has broken through to the 'Human Emperor Realm'!]

[Detected that the Great Xia's Luck strength has increased significantly, meeting the conditions for promotion!]

[Dynasty promotion — King-level Divine Dynasty!]

The System's voice fell.

The ten-thousand-zhang Golden Dragon of Fortune roared at the sky.

Golden ripples spread in all directions with the Imperial Capital as the center.

Wherever the ripples passed.

Within the Great Xia, all commoners, regardless of gender or age, felt a vast dragon might at the same time.

Farmers in the fields stopped their work and stared blankly in the direction of the Imperial Capital.

A warm current flooded their bodies, and all their fatigue vanished.

The elderly in sickbeds felt their bodies improve, even able to get out of bed and walk.

Infants waiting to be fed stopped crying and looked at the sky with wide eyes.

Cultivating Martial Artists felt the concentration of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth surge tenfold.

Many Martial Artists who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for years broke through at this moment.

"A miracle, this is a miracle!"

"Our Great Xia has a true Dragon descended to the world!"

"Heaven bless our Great Xia! Long live Your Majesty! May the Divine Dynasty last for ten thousand years!"

Sounds like mountains cheering and seas roaring came from every inch of the Great Xia's land.

These voices converged into the purest Power Of Faith, turning into specks of light, crossing ten thousand li of mountains and rivers, and surging into the body of the ten-thousand-zhang divine Dragon high in the sky.

Making its body even more solid.

Inside Zhaoyang Hall, Li Xuan opened his eyes.

He could feel that an inseparable connection had been established between himself and the entire Great Xia Divine Dynasty.

He and the Divine Dynasty could no longer be separated.

The Divine Dynasty was him.

Within the territory of Great Xia, he was invincible.

"So, this is the Human Emperor Realm."

Li Xuan smiled and whispered to himself.

With a thought, he brought up the new feature.

[Luck Altar]

[Introduction: The cornerstone of the Divine Dynasty, the furnace of all things. It can sacrifice anything of value (enemies, Magic Treasure, territory, Cultivation Technique, Luck), converting it into pure Divine Dynasty Luck, or exchange it for exclusive rewards for the Host.]

[Current sacrifice target locked: Ziyang Holy Land.]

Li Xuan looked at the System's notification, his smile deepening.

Good heavens, did the System order the next "takeout" for me in advance?

It really is becoming more and more thoughtful.
