In ancient mythological tales, which of the concubines of those Ancient Saint Kings did not achieve great accomplishments alongside their kings?
For example, the legitimate wife of King Xia Yu, Madam Tushan, also ascended to the Celestial Palace following King Xia Yu, and achieved considerable success.
Most of the other concubines of Ancient Saint Kings left virtuous names in myth, revered as ancestors.
...
Half a year later, the grand marriage was held as scheduled.
The scale of this wedding was no less than the previous grand wedding of the Crown Prince.
The Ji family from the Southern Divine Continent prepared an even grander spectacle.
The bridal escort was even more magnificent than that of the Si Family.
The dowry extended for dozens of miles, including numerous precious celestial and earth spiritual objects, celestial and earth spirit beasts, and brought eight colossal Divine Beasts, including True Dragon, Qilin, Yellow Bird, Bifang, White Tiger, Profound Turtle, Chongming, and Cyan Simurgh.
This grand spectacle made Haojing City exceptionally lively for a time.
It was indeed an Immortal Family wedding.
Besides there were many affiliated powerful figures from Immortal Sect Dao Lineages also sent as dowry, serving as support for the Ji family in the Great Xia Imperial Court.
This was to prevent their daughter from being humiliated by her in-laws.
Such customs are ancient.
However, commoners usually send maids, or servants, or accountants, midwives, craftsmen, martial artists, etc.
Only the Ji family could provide living Divine Beasts, Primordial Spirit Masters, not to mention True Immortals, as part of the dowry.
This also shows how much the Ji family values Ji Xueqiong.
...
In Fengzhi Palace
Qi Yuhua listened to the commotion at the front, her eyes showed some ripples, but she didn’t mind it.
It’s not that she’s not jealous, but she knows the years she can accompany Zhang Jian are limited.
She has accompanied Zhang Jian for nearly a full cycle of sixty years.
For ordinary couples, they might only have two lone graves left a long time ago.
Yet she still stands in Fengzhi Palace, surrounded by her children; what more could she not be grateful for?
Recently, Zhang Jian discussed with her that after a few years, he would ice seal her longevity, allowing her to enter early slumber, waiting for the day of the family’s ascension to come.
"Mother!"
At this time, Zhang Zhao stood behind her.
Not far away was Zhang Xian, whose face bore some resemblance to Zhang Zhao.
Qi Yuhua turned to look, smiled, and said: "Quite lively, you both should go have a look, no need to worry about Mother!"
Zhang Zhao’s gaze turned towards Zhang Xian, who waved at him.
"Crown Prince elder brother, you should go, it’s bustling outside, you two being absent would just fuel court gossip!"
After giving Qi Yuhua another glance, Zhang Zhao proceeded to leave Fengzhi Palace.
Once Zhang Zhao left, Zhang Xian laughingly said.
"Mother, I want to eat crispy pork!"
Qi Yuhua affectionately looked at him and said.
"Alright, Mother will prepare it immediately!"
The two female officials beside them smiled subtly at this scene.
No one but Prince Xing could make Empress Qi smile this way.
...
On the other side, within the West Palace.
Bai Liying also noticed this scene, her charming eyes masked with a hint of dark melancholy.
From afar, Zhang Yi sat cross-legged, eyes closed, with torrents of qi and blood surging around him, a layer of cyan-black dragon scales appearing on his body.
Zhang Yi likewise showed little interest in the lively affairs outside, instead using the opportunity to swallow a White Jade Spirit Fruit, directly refining it in the West Palace to further purify his bloodline.
Seeing this, Bai Liying secretly shook her head, then stepped out of the palace.
After Bai Liying left, Zhang Yi opened his eyes, glanced, and secretly shook his head.
He didn’t know how to handle this matter.
...
An Emperor and two Princess Consorts, the wedding ceremony jointly conducted, for a time the amorous fortune of the Great Xia Emperor became the talk of the court.
The beauty of the Ji and Yun women needs no further elaboration.
Noble officials and Princess Consorts who had seen them in Cyan Rock still marveled greatly whenever they spoke of them.
Not long after Ji entered the court, she was granted the title of Imperial Noble Consort, standing on equal status with the Vice Empress.
Residing in the Jixian Palace.
Madam Yun as the Noble Consort, resided in Lan Garden.
The entrance of these two women into the Great Xia Imperial Court undoubtedly brought considerable impact on the Great Xia Dynasty and the many civil and military officials under its rule.
Zhang Jian also kept his promise, releasing a part of the Yun family’s mighty figures, although they remain confined within specific circumstances, awaiting a great amnesty.
The unions of the East Continent Zhang Family, Ji Family, and Yun Family did not affect the larger trends in the East Suspended Divine Land.
Three months later, the Tongshan Dao Lineage and Great Xia Dynasty jointly announced that the Great Xia Dynasty would begin formally taking over the vast territories under the rule of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
The Si Family of Ancient Yizhou was the first to respond to the Tongshan Dao Lineage’s announcement, declaring that the Great Yu Dynasty would recognize the Great Xia Dynasty as the sovereign state.
They announced that the many subsidiary forces under their command, covering five hundred continents, would also follow the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty and respect the Great Xia Dynasty as their sovereign state.
A stone thrown raises a thousand waves!
This was only the beginning, as numerous great states, Dao Lineages, Immortal Sects, and secular dynasties under the Tongshan Dao Lineage successively announced their incorporation into the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, complying with the commands of the Great Xia Dynasty, recognizing the Eastern Xia Dynasty’s rule.
As this announcement emerged, many divine entities sensed the near-tangible Dragon Qi and Emperor’s Qi over Haojing City, manifesting a surreal Emperor Dao star.
The brilliance of the Emperor’s Qi gradually reached the zenith, permeating throughout the East Suspended Divine Continent.
Under the glow of the Emperor Star, countless Dragon Qi Prohibitions unfurled as various major powers, as well as secular dynasties, acknowledged the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, submitting willingly, and the power of Dragon Qi permeated these continents.
Within the Dragon Qi Prohibition lay the power of Zhang Jian’s Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Within Haojing City, in the Hanyuan Hall, atop the imperial throne.
A magnificent emperor was enveloped in an exceptionally intense purple-yellow Divine Light.
At this moment, with a mere thought, Zhang Jian’s Primordial Spirit seemed to merge with the East Suspended Divine Continent beneath his feet, the majestic powers of the Divine Land gradually coming under his control.
Zhang Jian’s eyes glanced in a direction in the void.
In that direction, he sensed a grand divine dao will, which firmly controlled a portion of the Authority of the Earth, roughly occupying one-third of the East Suspended Divine Continent.
"Sheji Divine Dao?"
Zhang Jian’s gaze perceived this scene, rendering subtle fluctuations in his eyes.
The Sheji Divine Dao is a divine dao orthodoxy acknowledged by the Celestial Court of the Celestial Realm. The other party never held hostility against him; even when he showcased part of his Sheji Emperor’s Authority, they refrained from acting.
What exactly the other party was thinking, he didn’t know!
But since the other party showed courtesy towards him, he would not act maliciously.
At this moment, the surging Authority of the Divine Land was merging into the Innate Emperor’s Authority, allowing Zhang Jian to intuitively perceive the advancement of his own Sheji Emperor’s Authority.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers had merged with the Earth Qi of the East Suspended Divine Land, birthing countless new Heaven and Earth Runes.
The "Heart of the Dimension" further melted away.
It’s evolving towards Tier Four Immortal Technique.
The power is tremendously soaring!
In the midst of this transformation, Zhang Jian sensed distinctly that a vast portion of the East Suspended Divine Continent was gradually becoming his Divine Realm Divine Department.
This was also what several Ancient Immortals of the Tongshan Dao Lineage sought.
With Zhang Jian as the Innate Emperor overseeing the entire East Suspended Divine Continent, any nascent Tribulation Qi could possibly be detected by Zhang Jian early on and thus eradicated in the bud.
Amid the Emperor’s Qi, even with Zhang Jian’s Dao Heart, a thread of joy couldn’t help but seep through.
Though some regions have yet to be enveloped by the Nine Tripods Barrier, this is merely a matter of time.
Apart from the growth of Dragon Qi and Emperor’s Qi of the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhang Jian’s concern was the matter of continued ancestor worship.
Now that the East Suspended Divine Continent is completely unified, seizing this moment to enter the Ancestral Hall for a windfall would surely reap enormous feedback.
...
Within Haojing City, as the purple-yellow Emperor Star took shape, manifesting in the world.
In the Imperial City, many cultivators also sensed this grand transformation.
"Truly an incomparably massive force!"
In Jixian Palace, Ji Xueqiong, with her hair styled in a noblewoman’s manner, felt the changes in the world, her jade-like face showing some change.
At this moment, a voice also emerged from a Dao Map in the depths of her Primordial Spirit.
"It’s precisely this power!"
Ji Xueqiong’s eyes shifted slightly.
Her master had previously mentioned that within Haojing City, there exists a power complementing her Lifebound Immortal Treasure, and now it seems this power resides with the Great Xia Emperor.
This makes things much simpler!
