Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

In fact, Xia Zhaoyan himself did not expect that the two major forces he had established for the purpose of laying out his plans would bring him unexpected joy in the end.

This is something he only realized belatedly after learning about the dynasty.

The divine lord and the immortal lord are not merely rulers of power.

Once a dynasty is established, these will be two positions whose causal relationships will affect all the heavens and myriad realms.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng were standing behind Xia Zhaoyan at this moment.

Their gazes were also drawn to the portal.

Two figures emerged from inside, without any powerful aura or overwhelming presence.

In an instant, a glint flashed in the eyes of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng.

Their faces immediately returned to calm.

Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng were somewhat surprised that these two were born.

"Juexin pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

"Po Jun greets Your Majesty!"

Having read the original novel, Xia Zhaoyan knew these two people, and to be honest, he didn't like them by nature.

However, since the system allowed them to be born, it means that it at least recognizes their qualifications.

Now, having firmly held the throne for decades, Xia Zhaoyan has long since shed the influence of his past life, after all, he is a true native.

The two knelt on one knee, their expressions extremely respectful.

The ruthlessness and ferocity of his past life were long gone from his pupils, replaced only by the composure that comes with life and death.

After all, all the figures selected by the system from the heavens were people who had already died in their original worlds.

Even powerful figures from the original world like Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun could not escape death in the end.

Name: Juexin.

Realm: Early stage of Dragon Transformation.

Combat strength: Late stage of Dragon Transformation Realm.

...

Name: Po Jun.

Realm: Early stage of Dragon Transformation.

Combat strength: Late stage of Dragon Transformation Realm.

Both of them are powerful cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm, and both have the potential to reach the Immortal Realm.

"Please rise, my two esteemed subjects."

At this moment, Nie Feng smiled and nodded at the two of them as a greeting.

Bu Jingyun merely lifted his eyelids slightly and glanced at the two of them expressionlessly.

Neither of them felt awkward; having survived a brush with death, they had long since become indifferent to everything.

In this life, they do not live for themselves, but only for the emperor before them.

Therefore, the two expressed no concern about Feng and Yun's dislike of them.

"Juexin, from this day forward you are the Emperor of the Underworld."

"Po Jun, from this moment on you are the Martial Emperor of Bai Yujing."

The two bowed deeply in gratitude.

They were aware of their reputation in their past lives, and being included in the two core forces under His Majesty in this life was already quite good.

When the two returned to Xia Zhaoyan's back, the spatial gate in the main hall distorted.

The next moment, four figures emerged from within.

The leader did not reveal any imposing aura or presence.

However, an unparalleled sword intent rose in everyone's hearts.

The one behind him with a cold expression was no less skilled in swordsmanship.

Especially Bu Jingyun, whose eyes immediately lit up.

As fellow sword cultivators, he instantly sensed that the two of them were no less knowledgeable about swords than he was!

"Yan Shisan greets Your Majesty!"

"Ximen Chuixue greets Your Majesty."

"Gong Jiu greets Your Majesty!"

"Yaoyue pays her respects to Your Majesty!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the last female voice.

Even having seen countless beauties, Xia Zhaoyan had to admit that Yaoyue was indeed no less stunning than the women in his harem.

Compared to the stone Guanyin, who is from the same world, the person before us is dressed in white, exuding a noble beauty.

That stone Guanyin was absolutely stunning; her beauty carried a strong sense of aggression and oppression!

If we're really talking about who's more beautiful, it's clear that in Xia Zhaoyan's opinion, Shi Guanyin is slightly better.

However, both are stunning beauties, and it's impossible to determine a winner based on their overall appearance.

Almost simultaneously, Bu Jingyun and his three companions, along with three others, all lowered their heads slightly.

He didn't even glance at Yaoyue!

There isn't a single fool among the people here. With such an unparalleled beauty appearing in the world, His Majesty would never allow her to join any of his various factions.

They guessed correctly. As an emperor and a man, how could Xia Zhaoyan let go of such a peerless beauty and powerful woman?

"Please rise, everyone!"

Name: Yan Shisan.

Realm: Early stage of Human Immortal Realm.

Combat strength: Mid-stage Human Immortal.

Yan Shisan is a top-tier swordsman.

With the blessing of the system's mythology, he became a powerful being in the Human Immortal Realm in this life.

Xia Zhaoyan was not surprised by his level of strength.

Name: Ximen Chuixue.

Realm: Perfected Dragon Transformation Realm.

Combat strength: Invincible at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Ximen Chuixue's strength did not meet Xia Zhaoyan's requirements.

In his view, Ximen Chuixue was no weaker than Yan Shisan, and in fact, if we were to talk about his peak, he was even slightly better than Yan Shisan.

However, this was arranged by the system, and he had no control over it.

"Ximen Chuixue, can you sense the presence of the Heavenly Tribulation now?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ximen Chuixue. Even Yan Shisan felt immense pressure from this man's swordsmanship.

"Your Majesty, I sensed the impending calamity as soon as I stepped out."

It is evident that Ximen Chuixue's cultivation level has reached its limit at the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Even if other outstanding individuals reach the pinnacle of a certain realm after being born, they still have to wait several years before they can undergo tribulation.

As for Ximen Chuixue, he could undergo tribulation at any time.

"Very well, let's find an opportunity to undergo tribulation after this matter is over!"

...

"I obey your decree!"

Ximen Chuixue remained calm, showing no sign of taking the Heavenly Tribulation seriously.

There is only one possibility for such a person: they are extremely confident, confident in their own abilities!

Gong Jiu is at the mid-stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and his combat strength is at the peak of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Of the fifty men under his command, ten were at the Celestial Realm, and the rest were at the Dharma Aspect Realm!

Finally, Xia Zhaoyan looked at Yaoyue.

Xia Zhaoyan was certainly familiar with this person; he was a figure who commanded respect throughout the Central Plains martial arts world.

Inviting the Moon, a mid-stage Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator.

His combat power is unmatched at the Dragon Transformation Realm!

At this moment, Yaoyue remained calm and composed, her expression aloof yet possessing a cold and beautiful charm, like a fairy untouched by worldly affairs.

"Zhang San Niang, beautiful beyond compare, invites the moonlight from the deep palace"—that was a saying that circulated in the martial arts world of the original world.

She is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world!

"Yaoyue, would you be willing to become my imperial concubine?"

None of the people here expected His Majesty to be so direct.

Although they had already guessed that this person would become one of His Majesty's imperial consorts.

However, this directness was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Yaoyue blushed at this moment.

Even the most capable woman can't withstand such questioning.

He's got all the straight-man traits.

However, Xia Zhaoyan had something to say: "I am already an emperor and overlord, with many powerful people under my command. Why would I be so bored as to have a romance?"

It doesn't matter if they disagree; they can just go and take charge of one of their own forces.

She took a deep breath, the blush on her face still lingering.

"I am willing!"

As a woman, she knew perfectly well the benefits of becoming an imperial concubine; it was entirely advantageous with no drawbacks.

"good!"

A hint of joy appeared in Xia Zhaoyan's eyes.

A moment later, a beautiful figure walked in with servants.

The people there immediately bowed in respect.

"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"

...

"Rise, everyone!" Chu Ling'er now exudes an air of nobility and possesses the aura of an empress.

Xia Zhaoyan stepped forward and reached out to take her small hand.

"Ling'er, this is my new imperial concubine!"
