Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"this……"

……

The sky remained clear, a gentle breeze blew, and nothing happened.

However, all the people in Lieyang City were startled and inexplicably jolted, instinctively looking in the same direction.

They didn't know what was happening, but they felt that in that instant, something seemed to be converging towards the palace, as if it were the center of heaven and earth, where something was being conceived.

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

A series of bell tolls seemed to echo in their hearts, and an invisible thread connected the wills of countless people, bringing them together. This united will seemed to materialize, reaching the highest level of sublimity and nobility, towering above the heavens, overlooking and protecting all of them.

This feeling is wonderful.

Everyone is one, as if the entire nation of Great Xia has been embodied within it.

Of course, this only lasted for a moment, and everything returned to calm in the next instant.

Most people didn't react much to this; they were just surprised or at most.

In the quiet room of the post station, Xiao Zheng held the Azure Sky Pearl in his hands, closing his eyes and concentrating.

A gentle breeze suddenly brushed my face!

He was jolted, his eyes widened, and he abruptly looked up in the direction of the palace, his eyes filled with disbelief: "This... is absolutely impossible!"

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators are as if they have an extra pair of eyes; they are more perceptive and can see scenery that ordinary people cannot.

His figure flashed and he darted into the courtyard, staring blankly at the sky, speechless with shock: "This...this..."

The capital city was originally a place where the national fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty and the spirit of heaven and earth converged. Surrounded by purple aura, the national fortune was vast, and it seemed to have the illusory form of a celestial capital. The spiritual energy gathered like a canopy, swallowing and exhaling the great power of heaven and earth.

This bustling, vibrant place is even more mysterious, vast, and sublime than the most exquisite grotto-heavens and blessed lands.

Unfortunately, the Zhongling Treasure Land has a certain suppression effect on cultivators, making it difficult to cultivate.

Xiao Zheng had already expressed his feelings about this when he arrived.

At this moment, a brilliant will soared into the sky. As if commanded by something, the spirits of this world surged toward the palace, converging into a massive vortex. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, and all people... everything was responding to him.

It seems that something indescribable is being born.

He wanted to use magic to fly over and find out what was going on, but the great will pressed down on him, and the power of this world controlled him, forbidding him from using any magic.

This feeling was even stronger than when he first stumbled upon his incredible luck; it was as if the entire world was rejecting him.

Under the oppressive force of this immense power, laws and regulations are prohibited.

This powerful cultivator, capable of cleaving mountains, felt incredibly small and helpless, like an ordinary mortal.

"Sect Master...Sect Master!"

He held the Azure Pearl in his hands, trembling with awe as he called out to it.

However, the newly repaired pearl now appears broken, its magical connection completely severed, preventing the sect leader's will from being transmitted.

The sky was clear and bright, but he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of doom!

In the blink of an eye, it felt as if thousands of years had passed.

Even after everything had come to a standstill, he remained dazed, gazing blankly at the palace, softly murmuring, "The Emperor..."

So magnificent, so grand.

This Great Xia is indeed extraordinary.

That emperor must have some treasure.

We must find a way to investigate him and uncover his secrets!

If this treasure is to be brought into the sect...

In a sense, Xiao Zheng guessed correctly this time.

"Xiao Zheng, what is it?"

Only then did Xiao Zheng regain his senses and hurriedly report, "Sect Master, just now..."

At the same time,

Gong Qiao, Qi Xiu, Liu Bingxuan, Ning Boxing, Cui Che... these civil and military officials of the Great Xia Dynasty also unconsciously raised their heads to look at the palace.

They were subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty, assisting the emperor in governing the land.

At this moment, it seemed as if something was branded onto them, as if something within them had been drawn away and gathered into the great power of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Their senses are stronger and clearer than those of the general public.

They felt the will of the Great Xia, the will of the people, the will of heaven and earth... This was a completely different feeling from Xiao Zheng and the others, as if they had returned to their mother's embrace, gentle and beautiful.

They were accepted by this world and protected by the Great Xia.

……

It seems... a big commotion has been set up.

Inside the Tongtian Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Xie Cangrong stared blankly at the jade seal in his hand, also somewhat dazed.

It was the same fake jade seal, with the same inscription and the same green jade.

However, the imperial seal of this second is no longer the same as the imperial seal of the previous second.

It has been given new meaning.

The name "Imperial Seal" originally signifies the inheritance of the faith of all people. Xie Cangrong's acceptance of it meant that he was guiding that faith to be bestowed upon this object.

Really? Fake? It doesn't matter anymore.

Xie Cangrong said it was the genuine Imperial Seal, so it was the genuine Imperial Seal!

"National weapon... national weapon..."

Xie Cangrong whispered.

This palm-sized seal rests in the palm of one's hand, gathering countless wills, the hopes of everyone, and the power of the Great Xia Kingdom... It may seem small, but in reality it carries the weight of mountains and rivers, and no one but Xie Cangrong can lift it.

Xie Cangrong quietly examined the jade seal, his fingertips brushing against the jade disc. Holding this object in his hand, he found more possibilities to exert the power of the nation's destiny.

……

Xie Cangrong did not stay in Tongtian Pavilion for long before leaving and returning to Linzhao Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, what just happened?"

The first person to arrive at Zhaolin Pavilion was Ning Boxing.

This scoundrel had no scruples; he plopped down at the table and immediately asked Xie Cangrong a question.

Xie Cangrong countered, "Do you have any unusual feeling?"

"Forehead……"

Ning Boxing scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "It feels quite mysterious, as if our Great Xia has suddenly gained a backbone. Well... I can't say that. Great Xia was already stable, but now it feels even more real... It feels like I belong to Great Xia, have become a part of it, and am protected by something invisible..."

The brute's words were incoherent and he didn't even know what he was saying.

"Is that so..."

Xie Cangrong listened patiently without commenting.

Xie Cangrong did not answer the previous question, and Ning Boxing did not ask again, as if he had forgotten about it. He then asked, "Your Majesty summoned me here, is there any purpose for you?"

Xie Cangrong said directly, "The cultivators are leaving. Liu Bingxuan will be the Xia Envoy and will return to Taihua with them."

"Leaving already? Is Lord Liu going with you too?"

Ning Boxing frowned upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, was this your decision?"

"It was Liu Bingxuan's strong request, and I granted it."

"Is that so..."

Since both of them agreed, Ning Boxing didn't say anything more.

The strengths and weaknesses that he could see, Xie Cangrong and Liu Bingxuan could also see.
