To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Thinking about how, rather than waiting for others to attack in the future, it would be better to strike now.

Thus, after resolving the war in Yong State, Lu Yuan dispatched two armies consecutively, to subjugate Xu State and Tang Kingdom.

At this time, having gathered the strength of almost half the world, the number of Inborn Grandmasters in Chu State had surpassed two hundred.

Even after deducting those left to defend the homeland, each of the two northern countries could spare around sixty or seventy people.

With such strength, the two countries naturally couldn’t resist.

They both fell within less than half a year.

After the last two countries of the north were destroyed, the remaining barbarian forces in the north, faced with the military might of Great Chu, were terrified and came forward to surrender.

Even the pirates far out in the East Sea, upon learning that the entire Nine Provinces had been unified, came ashore to submit and no longer dared to harass.

The entire Nine Provinces were thus unified, with only one country and one power in the world, and that was Chu State.

“Ultimately, the emperor swept across the Kyushu Ten Domain, unifying the world under one rule, without any more chaos caused by wars, allowing all people to enjoy peaceful times.

Even the four extreme calamities were mitigated as people continuously migrated, with populations from various states flocking to Central State, making this place increasingly populous and prosperous.

This year, as living in the four extremes became increasingly intolerable, with people struggling to survive, only Central State remained a happy land.

Therefore, the emperor formally divided Central State into thirty-three provinces and established six capitals beyond these provinces.

Apart from the Central Capital, Liang, the other five capitals served as frontier defenses for Central State, to settle the affairs of the world.

In light of decades of suffering from wars, the entire world’s troops were gathered to construct six great Magical Artifacts, which were placed in the six capitals for worship to secure the world’s Qi Luck and bless peace for ten thousand years.

Starting from this year, everyone says that the emperor has pacified the world, united the Kyushu Ten Domain, saved millions from peril, and inaugurated an era of great peace that will last for ten thousand years.

Such achievements surpassed those of the Three Emperors of antiquity; Great Chu’s reign shines with unprecedented splendor.

The Group of Ministers jointly submitted a petition, and the people of the world collectively pleaded, to bestow the emperor with a noble title, calling him Shenwu the Great Emperor.

This Great Chu was also revered as the Immortal Dynasty.

The old calendrical system left by the Three Emperors was inadequate to mark events amidst the ruins of the four extremes and the turmoils of the Nine Provinces.

Thus, after the unification of Central State, the emperor ordered his wise men to revise the calendar and determine a new era.

Only this year did it finally take shape; the Grand Historian presented the calendrical system, and the emperor named it Shenwu.

This is the Shenwu Era; starting from this year, it is also called the Shenwu period, and a new age began…”

At this point, the Storyteller slapped the table, drawing a closing note to this legendary tale.

Those nearby, captivated and intoxicated, were all immersed in the grand and majestic tales of Shenwu the Great Emperor and the ministers of the Immortal Dynasty unifying the world.

As the Storyteller described vividly, everyone was so engrossed they couldn’t help themselves.

So much so that when the Storyteller finished the story, they were hardly aware of it.

It wasn’t until the teahouse owner personally came forward and gently reminded them that they finally snapped back to reality.

Looking around, the Storyteller had disappeared without a trace.

And by this time, the slanting sun had already brought dusk.

They had listened to that story for an entire afternoon.

Those who then came back to their senses started to panic, hastily gathering their things, preparing to get busy with their businesses before the night markets began.

The stories of kings and generals were indeed fascinating and attractive.

But to these ordinary folks, there was still a sense of distance, unable to truly understand and empathize.

But there was one point in which the Storyteller was indeed correct.

Nowadays, it was indeed an era of prosperity under the Immortal Dynasty, a time of peace.

No wars or banditry, light Corvee Labor by the government, everyone had some land and home, storing plenty of grain and silver tales.

Those villagers from outside the city were currently bringing the vegetables or trinkets they had produced into Jiangdu to sell.

If times were not good, how could they be so comfortable?

If it were ten years ago or even just five, when there were still wars in the world, they dared not even imagine living like this.

Unification is wonderful, indeed.

It’s only with unification, with only one emperor in the world, that they could live well.

If only Shenwu the Great Emperor, who is an Old Man above, a true Immortal, could be emperor forever.

Having heard the entire story of the founding of the Immortal Dynasty, people nurtured a simple hope for the sagely and magnificent emperor, who couldn’t possibly be any better.

The crowd in the teahouse quickly dispersed.

But the teahouse didn’t close just yet; the owner tidied up the tables, and soon new customers arrived.

With peace throughout the land and populations growing due to migration, the world had become filled with life.

Particularly in Jiangdu.

As one of the six capitals, its prosperity was unlike anything else, with no curfews to speak of.

If daytime was bustling, then at night, with everyone coming out, business was even more booming.

Tonight, the teahouse owner was going to make even more money!

While these Jiangdu commoners began to hustle for their living…

…

Inside the newly built royal palace in Jiangdu, Lu Yuan looked at the Magical Artifact staff laying in the vast hall before him and nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad, not bad.

The Heavenly Destiny Staff I fashioned from the essence of the southern troops I gathered has finally taken shape.”

Lu Yuan touched the staff that took him three months to forge and felt an immense joy in his heart.

Ever since the world unified, with soaring Qi Luck, his cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book skyrocketed countless times.

Last year, he had already absorbed the last trace of Spiritual Energy Between Heaven and Earth, pushing his cultivation to the limit where it could no longer advance even a tiny bit.

Thus, he achieved a Breakthrough to the Five Qi Towards Origin realm.

As he had predicted, the remaining Spiritual Energy in the world indeed could not sustain his cultivation to become a True Person and condense the Human Dao Fruit.

Therefore, when his cultivation could no longer progress, Lu Yuan turned to other means to enhance his strength.

His Mana Cultivation could no longer be elevated.

But there were other ways to strengthen his power, such as Magical Artifacts.

For this reason, the three Magical Artifacts from the Taiping Dao Book that initially made Lu Yuan so envious were now on his agenda.
