147: Chapter 147 Voluntary Surrender and the Map of Mountains and Rivers

"Fellow Daoist, this is the specialty Soul-Concentrating Tea of our Tianji Sect. It can strengthen a Cultivator's spirit and enhance a Cultivator's Divine Sense!"

Sect Master Zhao Weiyi took a tea set, a canister of tea leaves, and a bottle of clear spring water from his spatial ring. While introducing the Soul-Concentrating Tea to Yang Juncheng, he began to brew it.

Soon, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi had brewed two cups of hot tea. He placed one in front of Yang Juncheng, then picked up the other and took a gentle sip first.

Seeing this, Yang Juncheng hesitated slightly before picking up the teacup and taking a gentle sip. A fragrant aroma emanated from the cup, and a faint warm current flowed into Yang Juncheng's mind, causing his spirit to perk up slightly and his Divine Sense to strengthen by a sliver.

"Good tea!"

Feeling the change in his Sea of Consciousness, Yang Juncheng set down his teacup and praised it with a smile.

"Since you like it, Fellow Daoist, I will gift this canister of Soul-Concentrating Tea to you!"

Hearing Yang Juncheng's praise, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi smiled slightly and pushed the canister of tea leaves on the tea table toward Yang Juncheng.

Seeing this, Yang Juncheng did not stand on ceremony. He directly stored the tea leaves into his spatial ring and said, "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

"Fellow Daoist, if I am not mistaken, you must be the Emperor of the Blue Star Empire, Yang Juncheng!"

Sect Master Zhao Weiyi straightened his posture, cast a soundproof barrier around them, and looked at Yang Juncheng with a solemn expression.

"That's right! I am the Emperor of the Blue Star Empire, Yang Juncheng. What is your business with me?"

Yang Juncheng responded without hesitation.

When Sect Master Zhao Weiyi invited Yang Juncheng to drink tea, Yang Juncheng already knew his identity had been exposed. Therefore, he was not at all surprised that Sect Master Zhao Weiyi could name him.

"I wish to lead the Tianji Sect to surrender to Your Majesty and serve you. I request Your Majesty's permission!"

Sect Master Zhao Weiyi said with a solemn expression.

"Our Blue Star Empire is willing to accept any Sect that yearns for peace!"

"Your Tianji Sect has a good reputation and is not a demonic Sect that commits all sorts of evil. You may join our Blue Star Empire and become a part of it!"

Yang Juncheng said in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, our Tianji Sect possesses three Grand Elders at the Law Realm, six Deputy Sect Masters at the Dharma Aspect Realm, thirty-six Elders at the Wanshou Realm, three thousand six hundred and seventy-two Disciples at the Primordial Spirit Realm, thirty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-three Disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm, and hundreds of thousands of Disciples at the Golden Core Realm and below."

"In addition, our Tianji Sect also possesses a grotto-heaven world, several hundred million square kilometers of land, one billion eighty million subjects, as well as massive amounts of wealth and resources!"

"After our Tianji Sect surrenders to Your Majesty, it can significantly increase Your Majesty's strength and influence, allowing Your Majesty to not fear any Ancient Sects!"

"Therefore, I hope that after our Tianji Sect surrenders to Your Majesty, it can become the State Religion of the Blue Star Empire and share in the glory and disgrace of the Blue Star Empire!"

Hearing Yang Juncheng's words, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi was somewhat dissatisfied. He raised his voice and began to emphatically introduce the strength of the Tianji Sect.

"Sect Master Zhao, although the strength of the Tianji Sect is not bad, it does not have the qualifications to become the State Religion of our Blue Star Empire!"

"Our Blue Star Empire welcomes any Sect that yearns for peace to join us!"

"But our Blue Star Empire does not accept any unreasonable conditions from any Sect!"

"If your Tianji Sect wants to use becoming our Blue Star Empire's State Religion as a condition to join our Blue Star Empire, I can only say I am sorry!"

Yang Juncheng refused without hesitation.

It would not be long before the Blue Star Empire became a Qi Luck Dynasty.

The State Religion of a Qi Luck Dynasty is extremely important and relates to the glory and disgrace of a Qi Luck Dynasty. Yang Juncheng would absolutely not hand over the position of State Religion to an unfamiliar Sect casually.

"Your Majesty, this is the treasure of Luck treasured by our Tianji Sect, the Map of Mountains and Rivers!"

"The Map of Mountains and Rivers is a top-tier treasure of Luck. It can incorporate the Luck of all cities within a Qi Luck Dynasty and unify them!"

"The more cities and the larger the territory a Qi Luck Dynasty has, the stronger the power of Luck in the Map of Mountains and Rivers becomes, and the greater its might!"

"When the cities and territory of a Qi Luck Dynasty reach a certain level, the Map of Mountains and Rivers can easily suppress and kill True Immortal Realm experts!"

"Most importantly, the Map of Mountains and Rivers has no upper limit and can grow together with the Qi Luck Dynasty!"

"When a Qi Luck Dynasty controls a Major Thousand Worlds, the Map of Mountains and Rivers can even break through the world barrier of the Major Thousand Worlds and lead the entire Dynasty to Ascension to the Immortal Realm!"

"Your Majesty, as long as you confer the title of State Religion of the Blue Star Empire upon our Tianji Sect, our Tianji Sect can offer this treasure of Luck, the Map of Mountains and Rivers, to you!"

Seeing that Yang Juncheng had rejected his proposal, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi moved his mind, and an ancient scroll appeared in front of him. He said this with a solemn expression.

"Although the Map of Mountains and Rivers is precious, it is impossible for me to directly confer the title of State Religion of our Blue Star Empire upon your Tianji Sect!"

"However, if your Tianji Sect offers the Map of Mountains and Rivers to me, I can allow your Tianji Sect to preach freely within the Blue Star Empire and bestow a Spirit Mountain upon your Tianji Sect to serve as your Sect's base!"

"At the same time, I can give your Tianji Sect a chance to become the State Religion of our Blue Star Empire!"

"That is, as long as your Tianji Sect gains the recognition of over sixty percent of the Blue Star Empire's citizens, I will confer the title of State Religion of our Blue Star Empire upon your Tianji Sect, and you shall share in the glory and disgrace of the Blue Star Empire!"

Yang Juncheng looked at the Map of Mountains and Rivers in front of Sect Master Zhao Weiyi, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. He pondered for a moment before speaking softly.

"Your Majesty, our Tianji Sect is willing to offer the Map of Mountains and Rivers to you!"

Hearing Yang Juncheng's words and seeing the firm expression in Yang Juncheng's eyes, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi knew that Yang Juncheng would not back down. He spoke respectfully and pushed the Map of Mountains and Rivers toward Yang Juncheng.

Yang Juncheng took the Map of Mountains and Rivers. With a thought, streams of pure magic power surged from his body and poured into the Map of Mountains and Rivers, easily refining it and obtaining some special inheritance of Luck secret techniques.

After Yang Juncheng stored the Map of Mountains and Rivers into his Sea of Consciousness, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi took a Jade Slip from his spatial ring and handed it to Yang Juncheng, saying: "Your Majesty, this is the roster and the topographical map of mountains and rivers of our Tianji Sect. Please review it!"

Hearing Sect Master Zhao Weiyi's words, Yang Juncheng knew that he was sincerely surrendering to him. He nodded gently, took the Jade Slip, released his Divine Sense to quickly scan it, and then stored it into his spatial ring before saying: "Sect Master Zhao Weiyi, why does your Tianji Sect want to surrender to me?"

"Your Majesty, our Tianji Sect is skilled at calculating the heavenly secrets!"

"According to our Tianji Sect's calculations, Your Majesty is the Child of Luck for Blue Star, and also the master of Blue Star. In the future, you can even help Blue Star ascend to a Major Thousand Worlds. The future is boundless!"

"At this time, if our Tianji Sect surrenders to Your Majesty, we can obtain the favor of Blue Star's Luck and exist for a long time, instead of being eliminated by history and turning into the dust of history!"

As soon as Yang Juncheng finished speaking, the Tianji Sect Master, Sect Master Zhao Weiyi, responded respectfully.
