243: Immortal Dynasty

# state-stabilizing seal Breaks Through to Nascent Soul! #

A new trending topic appeared.

And this time, compared to the previous trending topics, the players' confusion deepened.

What does 'state-stabilizing seal breaks through to Nascent Soul' mean?

"What's going on? Isn't the Empress supposed to break through this season?"

"Who is this state-stabilizing seal?"

"A Magic Treasure? Are you kidding me?"

"Magic Treasures can break through too?"

All the players were utterly bewildered, their minds buzzing, completely unaware of what had transpired.

The state-stabilizing seal, a fourth-grade Magic Treasure, an ancestral heirloom of Great Jiang.

Then... it killed the Empress and used her infant to achieve a Breakthrough?

What kind of joke is this?

For a moment, many Blade Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, or other Cultivators who relied on the power of their implements were all dumbfounded.

They also began to worry if their own implements would develop sentience and then betray their masters.

This fear only subsided when This Time Bu Ge released a video.

This Time Bu Ge's video didn't say much, only one thing:

[Develop sentience? Do Spiritual Artifacts and Magical Artifacts even qualify?]

The video was very simple, directly telling everyone that to develop sentience, at the very least, it had to be a Magic Treasure.

And the state-stabilizing seal was an even more powerful fourth-grade Magic Treasure, passed down for thousands of years, which was why it gained sentience.

Players, with their trash equipment, were actually worried about developing sentience and betraying their masters?

It was somewhat humorous.

So, very quickly, this unnecessary worry disappeared.

In its place was curiosity about the origin of the state-stabilizing seal.

Of course, because information in this regard was too scarce, only knowing that the state-stabilizing seal was an ancestral Magic Treasure of Great Jiang, nothing else was known.

Therefore, players shifted their attention to the most important major event at hand:

The establishment of the Immortal Dynasty.

Nascent Soul powerhouses can traverse the void, easily moving thousands of miles.

Their Spiritual Sense coverage is also extremely vast, and combined with void traversal, they can almost entirely encompass their dominion within their sight.

Because of this, there is a huge difference between a force with a Nascent Soul Cultivator and a Golden Core force; it can almost be called a qualitative change, which is why an Imperial Dynasty can transform into an Immortal Dynasty.

Similarly, the territory of an Immortal Dynasty will inevitably be much larger than that of an Imperial Dynasty.

After the state-stabilizing seal's Breakthrough, it directly issued orders to the other three kingdoms, demanding their annexation into Great Jiang.

This was not all; it also sent a message to the Great Desert, demanding that all Loose Cultivators and various forces in the Great Desert merge into Great Jiang, extending Great Jiang's territory to the Great Desert.

Even the North-South Mountains, an area with countless Demonic Beasts and Yao Beasts, the state-stabilizing seal still sent a message, demanding their annexation.

Such arrogance, yet no Golden Core Cultivator dared to openly resist.

The reason was that the state-stabilizing seal had acted first, directly suppressing and killing the Buddhist Cultivator Vajra.

Players were shaken by this, feeling uneasy about the impending Immortal Dynasty, unsure of what would happen next.

"Alas, during the Great Love Sect era, weren't we players so awesome? We could run rampant in Great Jiang, but now?"

"I'm afraid it will be even worse than before. Before, there were several Sects balancing each other out, but now there will only be one Immortal Dynasty."

"With a Nascent Soul Cultivator in charge, how can we players break the situation?"

"I think the Xuanhuan World game is going to collapse."

All the players discussed animatedly, all feeling a bit sad.

It wasn't until the three-day deadline arrived and the state-stabilizing seal met with a group of Golden Core Cultivators that the players regained their spirits.

Because among these Golden Core Cultivators, there were actually seventeen player Golden Core Cultivators!

Including Ye Chun, the Mage, Wang Long, and others, all were present.

It was quite interesting; after Wang Long's Breakthrough, he had secretly hidden near Heshui Prefecture, preparing to ambush Ye Chun.

This was also an important reason for him to break the Infinite Illusion; he absolutely had to kill Ye Chun to prove he was stronger than him.

However, before he could stake out Ye Chun, the state-stabilizing seal directly sent messages in all directions, demanding that the Golden Core Immortal Masters gather.

If Wang Long were alone, it wouldn't matter, but he had the Thunder Team behind him, and it was highly likely he would have to make a living under the Immortal Dynasty in the future.

Having no choice, Wang Long had to go to the gathering.

Most of the other player Golden Core Cultivators were similar; for their future status and treatment in the Immortal Dynasty, they all went to the Imperial City.

Some even started live streams, immediately attracting tens of millions of viewers, and as time went on, the popularity continued to rise.

After all, only Golden Core Cultivators could enter the main hall; other players had no way to live stream.

Therefore, after seeing others rake in traffic, other Golden Core Cultivators also began live streaming.

Thus, players could finally see the scenes of the Immortal Palace from various "camera angles."

The Immortal Palace was directly created by the state-stabilizing seal with a wave of its hand, yet it had everything an Immortal Palace should have: palaces, coiling Dragon pillars, immortal pools, pavilions, suspended bridges, etc., everything.

Coupled with the hazy mist, being inside felt like touring an immortal realm.

The state-stabilizing seal sat high on the Dragon throne in the main hall, while the other Golden Core Cultivators stood in the mist, divided into different queues according to their factions.

In front of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Golden Core Cultivators were like greenhorn recruits, not daring to act presumptuously.

"The Immortal Dynasty has just been established, there are many urgent matters to attend to, many rules to set. It shouldn't waste time on trivial matters, but..."

The state-stabilizing seal raised its gaze and looked at one of the queues: "Someone actually dared not to come."

As its voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

That queue, which was being stared at, had only three individuals; to be precise, they were not humans, but Yao.

They were a Tiger Yao, a Wolf Yao, and an Elephant Yao. Although they had transformed into human form, they had deliberately maintained some of their Yao Race features, such as the Tiger's sharp claws, the Wolf's tail, and the Elephant's long trunk.

"Immortal Master, our Yao Race is inherently disunited..."

The Tiger Yao was terrified: "Our clans will definitely follow the Immortal Master's lead."

The state-stabilizing seal was noncommittal, merely stating blandly:

"All of you may prepare yourselves when you return. One month from now, I will rely on all of you to conquer the North-South Mountains."

Upon hearing this, all the Golden Core Cultivators present inwardly felt a sense of dread, but not one dared to speak out in refutation.

And the players watching the live stream were even more excited:

"Holy crap, does this mean they're opening a new map?"

Everyone realized that with the establishment of the Immortal Dynasty, a campaign of conquest would immediately be launched.

Which meant... a new map was about to open!

Sure enough, just as players were discussing animatedly, constantly talking about the North-South Mountains.

The Xuanhuan World official website, as well as the Ancient Style Game Competition Organizing Committee, simultaneously released new promotional videos.

[Xuanhuan World: Season Two]

[One Month Later]

[Grand Opening!]

In the video, an aerial view unfolded, showing vast mountains stretching endlessly, with myriad creatures living and thriving within them.

Suddenly, immortal boats appeared, and countless Cultivators advanced into the mountains.

Grand arrays flashed with light, and runes emerged endlessly.

At the same time, countless Demonic Beasts and Yao Beasts gathered together, led by the Yao Race, clashing with these Cultivators.
