Origin Lust Sword System

Chapter 160 The Imperial Council

?

At this moment, the Origin Lust Sword Palace was the most magnificent structure within the entire dimension after the dimension temple.

On the western wing of the palace, a lavish and spacious hall was named the Imperial Council Chamber, and currently, there was a long rectangular white jade table. Fifteen men were sitting around it while they stared at the contents of golden scrolls before they looked at the empty throne at the head of the table in a daze.

These fifteens were all the Imperial Councilman chosen by Cyrus on the day of the imperial city's opening. Today, they were all summoned by Cyrus to this place when they were still amidst their cultivation.

Yet they had no choice but to come here post hastily as long as they didn't want to displease the ruler and lose their status on their very first day.

However, out of everyone's expectations, Cyrus appeared only when everyone arrived and then gave them only one order before he vanished without giving them a chance to greet him.

'Your orders as the Councilman are in those Imperial Decrees. If you messed up, be prepared to suffer the consequences!'

These were the only words Cyrus uttered before he vanished, leaving those guys in a daze and apprehensive. But they quickly accepted the fact that this was not some mortal dynasty but a Dynasty ruled by an absolute being, and his words were the last words without debates.

They were only here to implore those words, not for counseling, and the sooner they accepted that fact, the less they would have to suffer.

Nevertheless, not even one of them regretted being chosen as a councilman, not after cultivating the Qi. They now fully believed every word Cyrus said about their magic system being flawed and the Qi cultivation system being superior and complete.

Furthermore, all of these men had wives or mistresses, and they all tried that dual cultivation with them, and they were all shocked to find that they made progress three times faster than they did when cultivating solo.

This finding left almost every couple speechless as well as ecstatic, and those who have seldom touched each other now didn't want to leave for a second.

Furthermore, as everyone dual cultivated, the old people found that their bodies were rejuvenated slowly, and this is what made everyone truly motivated to cultivate, more than ever, the promise of a long lifespan!

That's why just remaining closer to Cyrus and doing his bidding might grant them some extra rewards, so they were willing to do anything for him to earn that.

Now the chance was here, and even if they had to put a hold on their pleasurable cultivation, they were willing to do it.

However, when they read those scrolls, they were all flabbergasted seeing those instructions, especially the very first line.I think you should take a look at

"What did the Lord mean by, 'I'm going to pioneer the new world with Temple Members to expand the dimension so he won't be available for some time?'" A skinny middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a bald head questioned in a daze; he was Trey Dylan.

In reply, Wilder spoke with a frown, "Do you think we are qualified to understand the Lord's thoughts? Since his Lordship explained in clear words that he's going to pioneer a new world, then it exactly means he's going into some other world to expand the dimension just like he did with ours."

"Although I imagined that there are more worlds out there since all those dimension creatures can't be conjured out of nowhere, now that theory is confirmed, I'm still in disbelief." A rowdy man sighed in amazement; he was Soren.

"You guys seemed to miss something here." Cayson spoke at this moment with a solemn expression, "The dimension expansion means more lifeforms which also means more competition, and if this expansion also occurred in our own old world at the same time, then I don't need to tell you what this would mean."

Everyone's expression turned solemn as they didn't even fully grasp the basics of the cultivation yet, and if more people entered, the competition would turn fiercer.

"Heh, as expected of a former city lord, always thinking the worst possible scenario first. But I want to remind you and everyone else that the Lordship has given his words that we will be the first natives and already have superior status to the newcomers.

"Furthermore, do you all really think the Lordship would give free rewards without them contributing to the dimension? Don't be naïve and focus on the tasks that are assigned to us. It is not our place to have an opinion on this matter. What if the Lordship is listening, and this is nothing but a test?" It was a tan-skinned middle-aged man with a burly build, and his wily eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at both Wilder and Cayson.

He was Abner Jakob, the head of the Jakob family, who was only a little bit inferior to the Albert Family and also their biggest rival.

The Albert Family has always kept a suppression on the Jakob family, and Wilder even helped them with his status. However, now that suppression was gone, Abner wasn't going to be afraid of anyone, and now the fight was fair, and so does the rewards.

When everyone heard Abner's words, their expression turned pale as they almost forgot where they were, and Cyrus could really see everything happening in the dimension. Their current positions were granted to them exactly because Cyrus had seen their leadership qualities.

Even an old sly fox like Cayson had forgotten about this, and his expression turned extremely nasty as he gave Abner a hard look, but he knew it was his fault for speaking out of habit.

"I was indeed excessive, and I have no place to say in this matter. Thank you, Councilman Abner, for pointing it out." Cayson impassively stated.

Abner was very pleased seeing his old rival's ugly expression, "Anything for the greater good of the dimension. Besides, his Lordship has clearly stated that in his absence, the Origin Protector would oversee us and only interfere when necessary!"
