Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System

"Lady Frostleaf is actually dead!"

"This is a major figure at the seventh level of the Void Deity; even in the Xuanzun Imperial Dynasty, such a person could be crowned king. Yet, she died so easily at the hands of the Martial Emperor. Just how terrifying is the power of this Martial Emperor?"

"Should we still go forth?"

"Go forth my ass, we have to save our own lives. Didn't you see, even Lady Frostleaf died. This Martial Emperor is a fearsome figure, killing without blinking an eye. If we don't leave now, once he is angered, we will be killed without mercy."

"Let's move, the Imperial Divine Vein is indeed remarkable, but not something we can covet."

....

Seeing Lady Frostleaf die without a fight, at the hands of Chu Yuan, everyone was alarmed and terrified.

Facing this incredibly ruthless deity, they already lost their courage to fight and scattered away.

The powerhouses from Western Mountain Palace and Xuan Fire Palace looked at each other, shaking their heads.

If they wanted to snatch the Imperial Divine Vein from the hands of the Martial Emperor, all sects of the West Mysterious Realm would have to unite.

But even that would come at a great cost that would not be worth it for only an Imperial Divine Vein.

Everyone dispersed.

Luo Yun's mood couldn't recover for a long time.

Although Lady Frostleaf was a bit weaker than her, the difference wasn't big. If the Martial Emperor could kill Lady Frostleaf, he could kill her too.

She was glad that the relations between both sects were good.

There was an indescribable relationship between Luo Yueying and the Martial Emperor.

As long as Luo Yueying was willing, she wouldn't cause trouble.

Upon acquiring the Emperor's Essence, Luo Yueying would soon break through to the tenth level of the Void Deity.

She took a deep breath and solemnly said, "We wouldn't have been able to keep the Imperial Divine Vein or get the Emperor's Essence without the Martial Emperor. I'm ashamed that my Moon Shadow Sect only provided information. The Martial Emperor was the one who guarded us all."

"Both sects worked together. There's no need for thank you." Chu Yuan replied. "Now we should start mining the vein."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone entered the mining area.

Even the sky nursery deity, Qu Kun, was asked by Chu Yuan to help.

The vein was immense and took an entire month to mine out all the Imperial Divine Stones.

"We mined in total 256 billion Imperial Divine Stones and countless King-grade Divine Stones from this operation, which will be equally divided between us."

After the entire vein was mined out, Chu Yuan counted it all and said to Luo Yueying.

"Over 200 billion Imperial Divine Stones!"

Luo Yun's face revealed happiness; even though it was only half, there were still 128 billion stones, enough for her Moon Shadow Sect to use for several thousand years.

How many Void Deity powerhouses could be cultivated in these several thousand years?

"Now that all the Divine Stones have been mined, let's return to the East Mysterious Realm."

At present, this secret place has returned to normal, becoming ordinary land. Following Chu Yuan's command, more than two hundred Sky Warships sailed toward the East Mysterious Realm, in a magnificent array.

All the way along, Chu Yuan sensed many powerhouses secretly watching, but no one dared to attack because the sight of two hundred Sky Warships was too intimidating.

After escorting the people from the Moon Shadow Sect back, Chu Yuan returned to Great Military City.

"Your Majesty, cultivating Divine Drugs with Divine Stones will produce a higher medicinal effect and greatly shorten their maturation time."

Upon returning to the city, he went to see the girl who grew Divine Drugs, Yao Ling.

"Excellent, I'll allocate 1 billion stones to you for growing Divine Drugs. If you need anything else, let me know."

Chu Yuan looked at Yao Ling.

"Your Majesty, you worked hard during your journey to the Western Mysterious Realm. Allow me to serve you."

Yao Ling began massaging Chu Yuan's shoulders.

"I'll stay here tonight."

Chu Yuan knew he needed both tension and relaxation in practice. He enjoyed Yao Ling's service.

This felt very good.

The next day, Chu Yuan issued a holy decree. This time, everyone who contributed to mining gets to receive an Imperial Divine Stone.

Moreover, the elixirs will be doubled for everyone for the next year.

Being resource-rich has its perks. Chu Yuan had obtained a good number of Divine Drugs from the secret realm, and many King-grade God Pills were crafted. One could say that Dawu presently lacks neither God Pills but rather top-tier powerhouses.

But there's a limit to his generosity.

Chu Yuan isn't willing to supply these people indiscriminately.

After obtaining a large number of Imperial Divine Stones, Chu Yuan constructed a cultivation site named Holy Mountain. Here, the Imperial Divine Stones were ground into mist that could be easily inhaled even by those at the basic training level.

Such behavior is extravagant, as Imperial Divine Stones are typically reserved for cultivation by those at the projected deity stage.

But Chu Yuan's establishment of the Holy Mountain, with a military merit system, benefited the entire army. As long as one had sufficient military merits, anyone could enter and inhale the aura of the Imperial Divine Stones.

With the dual assistance of elixirs and Imperial Divine Stones, the soldiers of Dawu were bound to make rapid progress in their cultivation.

"Long live the Emperor!"

"The Emperor is Eternal!"

Everyone roared out these phrases, even children who still mumbled their words cried out in adoration, pledging their faith.

Even more so...

When the people of other prefectures heard of the enviable benefits enjoyed by the subjects of Dawu, they all started to anticipate the day Dawu would expand its territory to their lands, allowing them to share these same benefits.

Keep in mind, the subjects of Dawu feast on spiritual grain and ambrosia tea; everyone receives a fixed supply of elixir each month.

Within Dawu's territory, weakness and illness are nowhere to be seen, nor is degradation of the weak.

Everyone seeks martial arts, everyone awaits the arrival of the Martial Emperor.

Although they reside in different prefectures, their hearts have arrived here.

The Martial Emperor of Dawu, wise and valiant, has truly changed countless beings and is revered as a Holy Emperor.

An Emperor who is benevolent to his subjects and disciplines the bullies.

"Recent state affairs have become increasingly heavy."

As a ruler, Chu Yuan doesn't need to inquire about every specific matter. Still, he needs to keep a firm grip on the overall direction.

Particularly recently, the changes in the citizenry's sentiment within the Eastern Mysterious Territory have aroused the attentiveness of the Xuanxing Clan and the Eastern Mysterious Imperial Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you must be tired from dealing with so many state affairs."

Yao Ling'er brought a pot of freshly-brewed ambrosia tea to Chu Yuan.

She stood behind Chu Yuan, watching the man in front of her reviewing state affairs, a smile also emerging on her face.

She extended her hand and gently massaged his back.

To be continued…

When the ancestors were still alive, they performed a similar role— helping Qingmu Changsheng, the Great Emperor, strategize, concoct pills, and manage various affairs.

But in the man before her, Yao Ling'er sensed a supreme aura more terrifying than an emperor's.

"It's still alright." Read new adventures at empire

Chu Yuan took a sip of the ambrosia tea.

He looked at Yao Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, your cultivation has reached the third level of the symbolic deity stage. I will personally concoct God Pills suitable for your Yao Tribe. The Southern Mysterious Territory will soon be restores. I will let you take it back in person."

"I believe in Your Majesty's promise," she replied.

She is now Chu Yuan's spiritual consort.

"I, as a ruler, don't speak without basis. I not only aim to control the entirety of the Eastern Mysterious Territory and the Southern Mysterious Territory, but I also aim to control the Five Mysterious Domains. I must firmly grasp this place to use it as Dawu's base for medicinal herbs to provide countless Divine Drugs."

Chu Yuan said this to Yao Ling'er, who was massaging his back behind him.

"The Southern Mysterious Territory, following modification by the ancestors and Qingmu Changsheng, the Great Emperor, is indeed the most suitable place for planting Divine Drugs." Yao Ling'er said, "Those people in the Southern Mysterious Territory have not developed even one-tenth of its potential. Only my tribe has this knowledge."

"Your Majesty, urgent military news has arrived, there was a big problem!"

Suddenly, a piece of urgent military news was delivered into Chu Yuan's hands.
