Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills Chapter 219 – The Empress Ascends the Throne 2

Chapter 219: Chapter 1: The Empress Ascends the Throne 2

In the beginning, it was with the backing of Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu that the other party agreed to the terms of becoming Emperor.

Now that Monks Cang Long and Fu Hu have achieved their goals, they have left him.

Clearly, Little Lingyin Temple valued Yu Qinghan, not him.

Had he, himself, been played by the people of the Immortal Sect?

“I hope that next time, something like this won’t happen again.” Yu Qinghan cast a deep, warning glance at Pei Ming.

Then she turned and left.

Pei Ming watched her retreating figure, and his face couldn’t help but darken. “Your Highness, the princess’s tone is so aggressive, it seems she is already unhappy with you.” A subordinate said cautiously.

“Do I need you to tell me that?”

“But there’s no other way. The throne must be held by my good niece. We can only think of other ways later.”

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, at Xiaohan.

The heavy snow that had fallen for several days finally stopped, leaving the entire Xia’s Imperial City covered in a silver blanket.

Under the eaves of every household in the capital city, there was a long row of ice spikes as thick as one’s forearm, sharp as fangs, and transparent as crystal.

With the New Year approaching, many families were busily preparing their New Year’s supplies.

No matter how you looked at it, it had been almost four years since the founding of the Xia Country, which was just a dozen days or so ago.

In fact, during the reign of the First Emperor, the Xia Country had already been established for three to four years, but at that time, the territory was not as vast as it is now.

Yan Country and Xia Country were still in a stalemate for several years.

Eventually, Xia Country emerged victorious and took over the throne.

But now, for some reason, the tables had turned.

The once invincible Xia Country had, in just four years since its founding, lost two Emperors in succession.

It could be said that the Divine Continent was in turmoil, and the common people were terrified.

However, the people in the city heard that the Xia Country was about to welcome its third Emperor.

Today was the day of the Ascension Ceremony.

In the Imperial Palace, the halls were magnificent, closely spaced, with high attics piled up, reaching the sky, and supported by golden pillars with winding dragons, looking extremely imposing. The palace grounds cover hundreds of miles around.

The soaring red walls seemed like an insurmountable chasm, preventing the world from peering into the secrets of the Imperial Palace.

Five hundred years ago, Xia’s Capital had already been the capital of Yan Country, with a history of five hundred years.

Five hundred years ago, Ancestor Yan Zu conquered the east and the west, first eliminating the demons, then exterminating the evil way, and finally establishing the first-ranked position in the Immortal Sect… In the end, he swept across the four seas and unified the world.

The reason why Yan Zu chose this place at the beginning was that this was a place of shining stars, with the sky relying on Ziwei, the earth connecting to the Spiritual Mountains, and excellent fengshui.

The so-called “Ziwei” represents the lord of the stars, the Emperor, and the meaning of sitting and holding the world.

The land here is close to the Spiritual Mountains, so there are very few demons rampaging, and the water in the Imperial City is taken from the Spiritual Mountains, with clear blue water flowing slowly through the mountains and then into Xia’s Capital.

The center of the Imperial Palace is the Yangxin Palace, which is where the Emperor’s everyday life takes place.

At this moment, in front of the bronze mirror stood a woman.

The rising sun was gradually brightening, hanging in the sky above the capital city, making the mirror shine.

Yu Qinghan shed her clothes, revealing her snow-white back and long legs, appearing tall and slender overall.

She stretched out her jade-white fingers and touched the scar under her collarbone, lost in thought.

Eight palace maids were waiting on her, putting on her newly made clothes.

A wide red phoenix-patterned imperial robe with intricate gold patterns, its length covering her bare feet.

As Xia Country was affiliated with the fire element, the main color of the imperial robe was red.

Yu Qinghan finally put on the imperial robe, but she looked at herself in the mirror with no expression.

Afterward, the maids took out various cosmetics such as eyebrow ink, floral clips, rouge boxes, and face powder, preparing to dress her up.

To attend the Ascension Ceremony later.

Grinding the eyebrow ink for her eyebrows to accentuate Yu Qinghan’s willow leaf eyebrows and slanted eyes, while applying rouge to her lips made them as vivid as fire.

Her black long hair was coiled up on top of her head, held in place by a jade hairpin with a phoenix spreading its wings, and adorned with a heavy Imperial Crown, making her look more dignified.

Soon, her makeup was completed.

Yu Qinghan looked noble and cold, like a towering iceberg.

Her phoenix eyes contained an air of majesty, like the aloof and inviolable Emperor.

After spending a long time, the maids who had finished their work bowed down and said: “Princess, it’s time for the coronation.”

“I know.”

Yu Qinghan spoke in a faint voice, pleasant to the ears but with a hint of coldness and hoarseness.

The throne she had fought for but never obtained three years ago was now handed to her on a silver platter.

Yet she couldn’t bring herself to be happy about it.

Along the way.

The palace maids dragged the long imperial robe until they reached the entrance of the Tianyou Temple.

Tianyou Temple is the sacrificial site of the Xia Country, extremely vast, occupying an area of nearly a thousand kilometers, and all that could be seen were neatly arranged, symmetrical palace buildings.

Even with its vastness, at the moment of the Ascension Ceremony, it was crowded with people.

The Xia Country put together the ceremonies of succession, ascension, and worshiping Heaven and Earth.

With her exquisite and solemn face, Yu Qinghan stood on the high platform of Tianyou Temple, overlooking the crowd.

Everyone had already arrived, waiting for the official of the Ministry of Rites to recite the prepared documents.

“Since the founding of the Xia Country by the First Emperor, there have been eight desolate lands, the emperors and their virtuous subjects…””But now there are barbarians and wolves…”

After the lengthy ceremony, the officials finally announced:

“The new Emperor’s enthronement, general amnesty for the world, and the beginning of the Long Prosperity era. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, deafening cheers erupted from below.

“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!” The ministers prostrated themselves in reverence.

The Xia Empire welcomed its true ruler.

At the end of the ceremony.

“Chirp!”

A clear and melodious phoenix cry sounded.

Yu Qinghan seemed to sense something, and she raised her pretty face.

Above the capital city, the incessant flames gathered together, forming a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Nine flame lotuses bloomed, revealing the divine bird’s face.

Nine-tailed feathers, three-crowned phoenix head.

The movement of the national fortune spectacle was huge, causing astonishment among the officials at the scene.

This was an ancient phoenix. It’s said that in ancient times, it was the supreme existence in mythology, and they were ranked as well.

Red phoenix, yellow parrot, green luan, purple crow, white swan; all five are phoenixes, with the red one being the most respected, the king of phoenixes.

This was the new national fortune of the Xia, the Nine Feathered Red Phoenix.

The red phoenix raised its head and let out a long cry, spreading its wings and flying.

A warm power enveloped the entire Capital City of the Xia, causing the common people to look up at the sky and continuously cast sidelong glances.

“An auspicious sign! It’s an auspicious sign!”

“Heaven bless Xia! Heaven bless Xia!”

“With this divine bird, it means that our Xia will soon usher in a golden age!”

Many old ministers of the Xia, upon seeing this scene, the vicissitudes on their faces were replaced by tears of excitement.

Whether it was the young newcomers or the old officials who had served three emperors, everyone looked at the phoenix in the sky with full of hope.

Nowadays, as soon as the Empress is enthroned, the national fortune is greatly established, and the red dragon’s transformation into a phoenix is undoubtedly an astonishing omen!

“Splash!”

After the red phoenix soared, it transformed into a river of fire and headed towards Yu Qinghan.

All the flames of the fire river entered her body.

Not long after, the sky returned to its tranquility.

A flame-like pattern appeared on her forehead.

Yu Qinghan felt the strong power pouring into her body, and she was also extremely puzzled.

Her cultivation had actually increased significantly.

It had directly broken through the middle stage and reached the Late Initiation Stage, and it was expected to break through again soon.

The perfect Immortal Spiritual Root allowed her to cultivate at a rapid pace.

There was no bottleneck to speak of at all.

As long as she had enough time, she had confidence that cultivating to the

Metamorphosis Stage would not be a problem, and she could even go higher.

Yu Qinghan soon regained her composure and, looking at the ministers below with a solemn expression, issued her first imperial edict.

“Spread My decree: recruit soldiers, reduce taxes, recuperate our people, repair our weapons, and fight the Northern Wolf again next year.”

“Secondly, promote Jinzhou to Jinzhou Prefecture and return it to the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Court.”

“Thirdly, within the four seas, it is necessary to find a man who will be of great use to me. His appearance will be drawn by the imperial college soon.”

Upon hearing the decree, the ministers looked at each other in confusion.

She had just ascended the throne, and three decrees were issued one after another.

The first one was understandable, but what about the other two?

“Did you hear that?”

Yu Qinghan’s majestic voice filled with unquestionable authority rang out. The ministers shuddered in their hearts and hurriedly bowed and said:

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After laying down the decree, Yu Qinghan returned to the palace to rest.

On the way, she looked at the resplendent palace but couldn’t muster any interest.

“Ugh…”

Suddenly, Yu Qinghan felt nauseous, but she couldn’t manage to vomit.

“What’s going on?”

She frowned and couldn’t help but wonder in secret.

She hurriedly examined her body.

Her meridians, Qi Sea, and mind were clearly fine.

So where was the problem?

Suddenly, she froze in place.

As if she had realized something.
