TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 978: Chapter 406 Zheng Presents Soil Chapter 978: Chapter 406 Zheng Presents Soil The next day, inside the Wei Palace, Qinyang Hall.

“Diplomat Huang Yun pays his respects to the Wei Emperor.”

In the main hall, Huang Yun was ushered in and, after introductions, he paid respects to the Wei Emperor Wei Yong seated at the head of the hall.

“The envoy may dispense with formalities.”

Wei Yong examined the formidable-looking Huang Yun below him, unable to resist giving him a few extra curious looks.

The reputation of the True People of the Qing and Huang factions in the higher levels of the Chu State had been well-established, and everyone knew that they had a profound connection with Emperor Chu Luyuan, and it was highly likely they were his avatars.

This not-so-secret secret naturally caught a little wind and reached other states in the Nine Provinces.

However, compared to those high-level individuals in the Chu State who had deep interactions with these two factions and could deeply appreciate their relationship with the Chu Emperor, other countries in the Nine Provinces were skeptical upon hearing the news, and some even scoffed at it.

Avatars?

Sophisticated Dao Law?

Do they not see the world we live in?

All those Immortal Sects of the Nine Provinces were forced by this spiritless environment to band together and ascend in retreat.

Those thick-skinned, high-blooded Divine Blood Variants with millennias’ worth of inheritance have been starved to death in this spiritual energy desert.

Under these circumstances, you say Emperor Chu Luyuan is a powerful Cultivator, and the people of the Nine Provinces believe it.

Because this has been personally verified by Cultivators and True People from the Dan Ding Path and Feishuang Tao.

They all say Emperor Chu Luyuan is a Cultivation prodigy, profound in Cultivation, second to none compared to the Dao master of an Immortal Sect.

But if you say that Emperor Chu Luyuan continued to cultivate in this spiritual energy wasteland and even made breakthroughs in Cultivation, creating eight powerful avatars, that’s pushing it too far.

You think I’m some bumpkin from Yangzhou?

Indeed, in the eyes of the old imperial aristocratic families of the Nine Provinces, no matter how powerful the Chu State currently is, it’s considered countrified.

No need to look further than the origins of the Emperor and his ministers to understand why.

Mountain hunters, poor scholars, medicine vendors, rural landlords, rough characters from Jianghu, lowly peddlers, village farmers…

A careful count reveals hardly any of noble birth or even rich families with a hundred years of history.

To those from other empires in the Nine Provinces, a dynasty founded by people of such origins is seen as the very definition of Different Species.

Which among them is not a country with a passage of a thousand years, the sovereigns not from generations of high ministers and nobles stretching back tens of thousands of years?

Perhaps among their ancestors, there were even Immortals!

How could these nobles, facing the rise of upstarts from the mud, possibly regard the Chu State as one of their own?

Thus, when rumors about the True People from the Qing and Huang factions emerged from the Chu State, they were almost treated as a joke by the higher-ups of other countries.

With their own lineage and fundamental strength, they simply did not believe the idea of Cultivation in the Age of Dharma Decline, considering it a lie concocted by Emperor Chu Luyuan to enhance his prestige and to fabricate legitimacy for his claim to the throne.

After all, to become Emperor, if you don’t bestow a few halos of the Heavenly Mandate and divine right upon yourself, why would people revere and follow you?

And claiming to practice Cultivation when others cannot is a good way to highlight the unique and destined nature of Emperor Chu Luyuan, is it not?

Moreover, such propaganda could also imply that Emperor Chu Luyuan’s strength is formidable.

Just think, the last Cultivator of the Age of Dharma Decline; simply hearing this would command immediate respect and seem quite impressive.

Who would dare to disrespect the Chu Emperor, the living Cultivator in this world?

Musing over these things, Wei Yong felt a twinge of envy in his heart.

The last Cultivator of the Dharma Decline, eight great avatars, numerous halos to enhance one’s prestige—what a formidable propaganda tool!

If he possessed these, he wouldn’t have to worry about his insufficient imperial authority or the precarious state of his throne.

How envious!

With these thoughts, as Wei Yong looked at the rough and burly figure and features of Huang Yun, he became all the more convinced that the other was not an avatar of the Chu Emperor.

Over the years, relations between Chu and Wei had been excellent, with envoys sent each year to exchange courtesies and maintain contact.

Those Wei Envoys who had visited Baling reported back to Wei Yong, describing the appearance of Emperor Chu Luyuan.

All envoys claimed that the Chu Emperor had a majestic countenance, brimming with vigor, his visage youthful, an extraordinary man unmatched across the world.

Based on the envoys’ descriptions, Wei Yong even had a portrait of Emperor Chu Luyuan painted and hung in the palace, which he had often observed.

And Huang Yun before him bore no resemblance to the Chu Emperor in looks or demeanor.

How could someone so unrelated possibly be an avatar of the Chu Emperor?

‘Indeed, this supposed protector True Person Huang Yun is but an Inborn Grandmaster covertly nurtured by the Chu State, kept hidden until needed, at which point one could claim him to be an avatar of the Chu Emperor, deceiving the people of the world,’ Wei Yong thought, setting aside such distractions.

Looking at the rudely featured face of Huang Yun, Wei Yong laughed and said, “The envoy’s purpose here is known to Us.

Just yesterday, We discussed it with the court ministers, and We’ve unanimously decided to accede to the Chu State’s request.

Next spring, Great Wei shall deploy a million troops, launching from the southern steppes to sweep across the barbarian lands, and meet up with the Chu forces in Yong West.”

Upon hearing this, Huang Yun’s face burst into joy, “Your Majesty is righteous and keeps his word.

As an envoy, I shall convey my emperor’s gratitude for Your Majesty’s kindness, with the wish that Great Chu and Great Wei remain friendly for generations, endless for ten thousand years.”

Wei Yong gave a hearty laugh, “The envoy speaks well.

May Great Wei and Great Chu enjoy eternal friendship, with dynasties everlasting.

Today, We shall host a banquet in the palace to honor the envoy from Great Chu; We hope the envoy will grace it with his presence.”
