313 The Glorious Era

Lingyun Calendar, 3650th year.

With the blessings of the four Kings and the ardent expectations of countless people, the 16th Prince of Lingyun Kingdom was born into the world. On this day, an auspicious sign descended from the sky and shone for thousands of miles. It became a day that was worth remembering.

It was also on this day that a sage-like and mysterious old Daoist priest, holding a horsetail whisk in his hand and stepping on auspicious clouds under his feet, arrived at the Lingyun palace as it was a natural thing to do.

“Amitabha.”

It was unknown what the old Daoist priest said, but it actually shocked the Lingyun Emperor enough for him to personally appear and receive the priest.

Not long after, the Lingyun Emperor issued an imperial edict to make the 16th Prince the Crown Prince and appoint the old Daoist priest as the new State Preceptor. At the same time, he also held the position of the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor.

Apart from that, a series of other decrees were issued.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the entire kingdom was shocked!

It was no exaggeration to say that this was a major event that shook the entire Lingyun Kingdom!

Therefore, it did not take long for a group of ministers to remonstrate and jointly submit a petition requesting the Lingyun Emperor to retract his order.

The Third Prince even bluntly said given the old Daoist priest’s origins were unknown, if the priest was appointed as the State Preceptor and the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, he was worried that in the near future, Lingyun Kingdom would be in danger of losing its good fortune!

The concept of fortune was not completely illusory.

If the country was strong, the country’s fortune would be good.

If the country’s strength declined, its fortune would also decline.

Currently, Lingyun Kingdom was at a time of unprecedented peak prosperity. If they took the right path, they might be able to surpass the peak, surpass the Profound Origin World, and walk towards the wider universe.

However, if they took the wrong path…

After the peak was reached, it might decline!

The cycle of the Heavenly Dao was eternal.

Therefore, even though people knew that the First Prince was mediocre and did not perform outstandingly in all aspects, they noted that the 16th prince had only just been born when the emperor reappointed the crown prince. He even found a Daoist priest of unknown origin and made him the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, and even gave him the position of the State Preceptor…

This was simply planting the seeds of a huge disaster!

“The Third Prince is right. Even though we don’t know what method the demonic priest used, Your Majesty is an almighty emperor. I believe you will definitely be able to sense the abnormality!”

More old ministers who supported the Lingyun Emperor came forward to persuade him.

No one expected the usually wise and mighty Lingyun Emperor to be exceptionally stubborn about this matter. No matter how everyone persuaded him, he did not have any intention of changing his mind.

In his shock and anger, the Third Prince threw away his court uniform and left the royal court furiously in public. He even announced to everyone that he would never take another step into the imperial capital unless the emperor changed his mind!

“My loyal ministers, I’m afraid you’ve been blinded by a thief!”

“Your Majesty, you are the one who is being blindfolded!”

Even though the emperor personally ran after the Third Prince out of the palace hall, the Third Prince still had no intention of backing down. He even publicly declared that everything he did and the efforts he made throughout most of his life was for the prosperity of Lingyun Kingdom.

“I follow my intentions. If there’s any falsehood, I, Lu Hua, will definitely be punished by the heavens and die a horrible death!”

On this particular day.

The Third Prince had just returned to his residence from the palace and before he could pack his things and leave, a storm suddenly brewed in the sky. Terrifying lightning bolts tore through the nine heavens and struck the Third Prince who had just returned!

That night, the Third Prince’s cultivation level dissipated and he died.

“My dear ministers, I feel so sorry for the loss of a loyal subject in Lingyun Kingdom…”

There were many witnesses when the Third Prince made his oath. In order to calm the storm down, the emperor specially ordered that this matter be handled in a low profile manner and that the Third Prince Lu Hua be buried in peace.

At this point, the storm finally came to an end.

Although there were all kinds of rumors circulating that it was the new State Preceptor who was jealous of the virtuous and had set up a plot to kill the Third Prince, due to insufficient evidence, it was only a rumor on the streets and most people did not believe it.

After that, the emperor’s imperial edict was passed and announced to every corner of Lingyun Kingdom without any hindrance.

At the same time, the 16th Prince, who had received the blessings of countless people, finally grew up under the watchful eyes of everyone. He was born smart and could run around at the age of one month old, often causing chaos in the palace.

However, what worried the emperor was that the 16th Prince, who was doted on by everyone, actually had no interest in cultivation at all. Furthermore, he only listened to his Grand Tutor and even dared to ignore his father the emperor.

“Forget it. The State Preceptor is an extraordinary person of his generation. Since he said that there’s no problem, there should be no problem.”

Very quickly, the emperor turned his attention elsewhere.

Due to the series of decrees that were implemented previously, not only did Lingyun Kingdom, which had already developed to an unprecedented stage, show no signs of decline, but it even took a step further and showed faint signs of being on par with the Xuantian Sect, the Starmoon Demon Sect, and others!

It was also for this reason that some of the ministers who were originally on the same side as the Third Prince, and opposed the rise of the new State Preceptor, had now given up.

On the day that the 16th Prince turned two years old, he strolled to the royal pond in the imperial garden out of boredom.

“Your Highness, I want to eat fried chicken tonight!”

A carp suddenly jumped out of the water, spoke human language and spat water all over the 16th Prince.

The young 16th Prince turned pale with fright and scrambled back. He quickly informed the emperor about this matter. After knowing about this, the emperor summoned the State Preceptor and the two of them spent the entire night chatting in the imperial study.

Not long after, someone realized that the carps in the royal pond had been unknowingly replaced. A few supervisors related to this matter had also disappeared overnight.

However, this was only a small interlude.

When the 16th Prince was three years old, the three major academies in the imperial capital merged into one. The emperor personally selected a management team to clear up the mistakes in various ancient books.

The entire process lasted for an entire year.

In the second year after that, the number of new students entering the new academy had already exceeded the number of students from the previous three academies combined!

In the fifth year, the State Preceptor represented the country of Lingyun Kingdom on a diplomatic mission to the Xuantian Sect. After 33 days, the State Preceptor returned with an agreement. The misunderstanding between the two factions was finally resolved and they now formed an initial alliance.

In the sixth year, the State Preceptor went on a diplomatic mission to the Starmoon Demon Sect in an attempt to form a friendly alliance, but he was plotted against by the demonic sect and unfortunately died from their evil doings. The emperor was furious and mobilized his army overnight to make a personal expedition. Through the Mysterious Heavenly Gate, he had an intense collision with the Starmoon Demon Sect!

In response, the Starmoon Demon Sect also retaliated. There were even Deity Realm experts who appeared on the battlefield with the intention of killing the Lingyun Emperor.

...

In the eighth year, the Lingyun Emperor accidentally fell into an ambush. In one battle, all his troops were defeated and the emperor himself almost died.

However, it was also on this day that the Lingyun Emperor suddenly revealed his Deity Realm cultivation and launched a powerful counterattack, killing the demon deity from the demonic sect on the spot!

This year, the world was shocked!

In the 3658th year of the Lingyun Calendar, Lingyun Kingdom of the Profound Origin World had finally made the leap into becoming one of the Divine Kingdoms!
