Chapter 886 - 886 The Conferment
886 The Conferment
There was no possibility of going back on his words. When a Fengshui Master was observing Heaven and Earth energy, he would be paid attention to heaven and earth. When he received the Heaven and Earth Rank of the Dawn Dynasty, he would be connected to the Qi dynamics.
At that time, it would not be simple to split up and leave. Once he agreed, it would be a matter of life.
This way, it would be almost impossible for him to escape in the future.
Fengshui Master was very important to the Luck Dynasty. The connection between the Qi dynamics of the two parties would be close. If they were separated, the Fengshui Master would also suffer the backlash of luck and cultivation.
However, he did not agree immediately. He looked at the bronze whip and thought about his future development. He finally made up his mind.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang He cupped his hands and bowed at Li Xiang. “Jiang He greets the King!”
This was the ceremony between a ruler and his subjects.
This salute also represented Jiang He’s official entry into the Dawn Dynasty and becoming a member of the Dawn.
“Alright, rise! The joining of Fellow Jiang has given us a new lease on life.”
Li Xiang smiled. With a wave of his hand, he handed the iron whip to Jiang He.
“How long does it take to refine a Mountain-chasing Whip?” Li Xiang asked.
“This is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, a natural tool embryo. Once it is fused with the restriction, it can become a true Mountain-chasing Whip. It will take about three days, and then it will be refined continuously afterward. Even if only a restriction is created, it will be enough to drive the Earth’s veins and move the towns and villages to their designated locations.”
Jiang He could not help but feel a tinge of excitement as he gripped the iron whip. The Mountain-chasing Whip was one of the best natal treasures of a Fengshui Master, so there was no reason for him not to be excited.
“That’s good. There’s no need to worry about the geomancy. We can complete the topographic map of the Dawn in the shortest time possible. This has something to do with the foundation of our Dawn.”
This foundation was the Star Web. After fusing with the Mage’s Eye and the Illusionary Spirit Pearl, the Star Web began to evolve again. Once it was complete, the Star Web would cover all the regions of the Dawn Dynasty, including a portion of the regions outside the national borders. At that time, the entire human civilization would undergo an unbelievable change.
“In that case, I believe that with the Divine Cities as the foundation, the villages and towns will all be upgraded to Divine Cities. Then the Castellans will be the highest authority in the region. However, the position of the Castellan in the Nine-rank Official System still needs the King to personally decide.”
Huang Chengyan brought the topic back to the question of the position of the Nine-rank Official System.
This problem could not be ignored. After all, it was a high-ranking official position in charge of a region. A Divine City suppressed a region and was in charge of the livelihood of millions of people. The importance of the position was no small matter.
It was not good for the grade to be too high, nor was it good to be too low.
Therefore, no one was suitable to decide except Li Xiang.
“The Divine Cities can suppress a region, so the Castellans are extremely important. Moreover, the original Castellans were the first to rely on us and lost the opportunity to become the ruler of the Luck Dynasty. Naturally, they should be compensated. The position of the Castellans is set at the third-rank, but the position has to be changed every ten years. In any Divine City, the term of office cannot exceed ten years. After ten years, they have to transfer to another Divine City to be the Castellan.”
Li Xiang said after thinking carefully for a while, making the final decision on the grade of the Castellan’s position.
He had wanted to set it at the second-rank, but there were too many Castellans in the Dawn. If all of them were the second-rank, it would consume too much of the dynasty’s luck. This was before the expansion. If it continued to expand in the future, luck would not be enough.
Even if the Dawn Dynasty had strong national luck, it could not afford such consumption. Therefore, he was more cautious about this matter and decided on the third-rank.
After all, the consumption of the nation’s luck was still within the limits for the third-rank.
Heaven and Earth Rank did not come for free. It needed the support of luck. There would be countless Divine Cities in the future. If all the Castellans were the second-rank, it would put a lot of pressure on the entire Dawn Dynasty.
Moreover, the third-rank was already very high. The blessing of the Heaven and Earth Rank was quite shocking.
“Third-rank is very suitable. It’s neither high nor low. It matches the status of the Castellan.” Li Jing nodded in agreement.
“Agree!” Zhou Qing nodded.
Following that, everyone once again made various plans and discussions about the Nine-rank Official System and gradually perfected the entire dynasty system.
“King, since we have had the official system, we have to forge the official seal. The official seal is also something that cannot be ignored. It’s a status, a Heaven and Earth Rank!” Cai Yong thought of something and immediately reminded Li Xiang.
The official seal was an extremely important item and proof in any dynasty. It was something that was absolutely indispensable.
The establishment of the Luck Dynasty was indeed a little rushed. The things that had to be prepared had not been forged. They had to think about it and perfect it at the last minute besides checking for gaps.
“Yes. The official seal represents the Heaven and Earth Rank and also status. However, with the Investiture of the Gods, even if the official seal was temporarily missing, it would not affect the subsequent apotheosis. We’ll forge it later. I’ll leave this matter to Sky Workshop.” Li Xiang nodded. This was indeed an oversight.
After another round of discussion, they finally decided on the Nine-ranks and Six Ministries System of the Dawn Dynasty.
After confirming it, Li Xiang waved his hand, and a nine-colored ranking list appeared on the dragon table in front of him. The ranking list emitted unique Qi dynamics that was connected to the luck of the entire Dawn Dynasty.
This was the Investiture of the Gods.
“Conferment: Yang Mi is the queen of the Dawn Dynasty, receiving Heaven and Earth Rank.”
“Conferment: Ning Xiaoyue, Zhou Yutong, Chen Shu, and Tong Qingya as imperial concubines, receiving Heaven and Earth Rank.”
As Li Xiang spoke, several lines of text appeared on the Investiture of the Gods, right next to Li Xiang’s name.
Queen: Yang Mi
Imperial Concubines: Ning Xiaoyue, Zhou Yutong, Chen Shu, Tong Qingya
Then, Li Xiang picked up the Imperial Jade Seal and stamped it on it. The Investiture of the Gods flashed, and an invisible force appeared out of thin air and fused into Yang Mi and the others’ bodies.
Howl…
Suddenly, a clear phoenix cry emerged from her body. Her body was covered in multicolored light, and she naturally emitted a noble aura.
Whereas Ning Xiaoyue’s body blossomed with a bright moon phantom. One could tell that she had an extraordinary background.
A clear cry also came from Zhou Yutong’s body, and the phantom of a Luan bird appeared behind her.
Chen Shu and Tong Qingya’s visions were of two beautiful flowers, a peony and a rose respectively. They complemented each other and were extremely beautiful.
The position of the queen could be said to be of a high level, second only to Li Xiang. She had received the Heaven and Earth Rank, the wishes of all living beings gathered, and the feed back of luck. The status of the four imperial concubines seemed to be one level lower than the queen, but the luck they enjoyed was only slightly inferior. The difference was not big.
This kind of luck could only be obtained when a Luck Dynasty was just established or when it was promoted in the future. It was extremely precious.
Yang Mi had received Li Xiang’s reminder when the feed back of luck had started. Without hesitation, she began to circulate her cultivation technique. With this opportunity, she comprehended the laws and her cultivation realm increased rapidly. This was like riding a rocket, increasing at an unbelievable speed compared to usual.
