Breaking through the illusion of the mortal world

Chapter 165 Immortal Ranking

These words, though seemingly reassuring, actually openly revealed the surveillance and control.

Luo Tianming slightly raised his gaze, sweeping it over the few leaders of the various factions in the hall who remained silent and had not yet expressed their allegiance:

"Today's alliance is based on voluntary participation. The Holy Land will not force those who do not wish to join the Immortal Dynasty."

Those leaders who had prepared themselves for suppression were taken aback, clearly not expecting Luo Tianming to be so lenient.

Luo Tianming saw this and sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm:

"However, once the fortune of the Central Continent Cauldron is complete and the laws of the Immortal Dynasty are established, those who are not under the protection of the Immortal Dynasty will not be protected by its laws."

"If any calamities or conflicts arise in the future, the Immortal Dynasty will not intervene. Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

A few words spoken lightly can be more chilling than a direct threat.

Not joining means cutting yourself off from the torrent of destiny. When the immortal dynasty is fully established, you will be like a lone boat adrift on a raging sea, destined to capsize in an instant.

After the two matters were announced, there was not a single word of doubt in the hall.

Luo Tianming waved his hand, and servants outside the hall quickly entered carrying scrolls of jade books, distributing them to representatives of various forces.

"This is the 'Heavenly Spirit Immortal Court Law' that was drafted long ago by the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land, and it was compiled by the three elders of the Scripture Pavilion over three years."

Luo Tianming's voice was slightly deep, "From sect leaders and family heads to ordinary disciples and rogue cultivators, all the rules are contained within."

"Take this back and be sure to inform the entire clan to strictly abide by it."

The crowd received the jade book, and upon scanning it with their divine senses, they were immediately awestruck by the complete set of laws and regulations contained within.

Clearly, Luo Tianming's plan to establish a nation was not something that had been going on for just a day or two.

After giving his instructions, Luo Tianming spoke calmly:

"This meeting concludes here. All of you shall return to your lodgings and await the arrival of the Holy Land's envoys."

"Three months from now, I will hold another grand ceremony to formally offer sacrifices to the cauldron, and proclaim to the Central Plains that the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty will reign supreme over the world."

"We will obey the Holy Lord's decree!"

The hall was filled with a cacophony of voices, creating a magnificent atmosphere.

The leaders of the various factions rose, bowed, and took their leave. They hurried away from Qionghua Palace, each with their own plans in mind.

In an instant, most of the people in the hall dispersed, leaving only the trusted elders of the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land and the group from the Lihen Heavenly Palace in the corner.

Ning Hanchuan stood up, looked at Shuangye, the Palace Master of Juechen Palace beside him, and said in a low voice, "Palace Master, we should also take our leave."

Shuangye nodded slightly, her face remaining calm: "Yes, return to the Juechen Palace branch and await instructions from the Heavenly Palace."

The young master of Lihentian Palace, who had been lazily leaning back, finally straightened up slowly.

Clad in flowing red robes, her face, as beautiful as jade, gazed intently at the Central Continent Cauldron floating outside the hall, a cryptic smile playing on her lips.

He did not say goodbye to Luo Tianming, nor did he leave a single word.

With a flicker, the red-clad youth disappeared into the corner of the hall, followed closely by Ning Hanchuan and Shuangye.

Luo Tianming stood in the main seat, taking in everything, but remained silent.

The Lihentian Palace has a history of ten thousand years and its foundation is unfathomable. As long as they do not hinder the establishment of a dynasty, everything else can be put aside for the time being.

Moreover, the Heavenly Palace has enormous ambitions and is very likely planning to establish its own dynasty in other states as well.

Once the hall was completely quiet, a white-haired elder quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Holy Lord, everything has proceeded according to plan."

"There are seventeen forces that refuse to submit, most of which are quite powerful and troublesome."

"Especially the Fuyou Holy Land, the Nangong family, and the Lingque Cave Heaven did not participate, which means they must be determined to align themselves with the Dayan Immortal Dynasty."

"Among them, the power of the Fuyou Holy Land is comparable to ours, making them extremely difficult to deal with."

Luo Tianming slowly turned around and looked at the Zhongzhou Cauldron outside the hall that suppressed heaven and earth, his ambition no longer concealed.

He smiled faintly, his tone icy, "They are nothing to fear. I am keeping them alive to establish my authority, not to deal with them immediately."

The elder's heart skipped a beat: "What does the Holy Lord mean?"

"Once the laws of the Immortal Dynasty are officially implemented, the Immortal Ranking is completed, and the fortune is fully condensed," Luo Tianming said coldly, "then we will eliminate all seventeen of these families and distribute them to other forces."

"At that time, we should kill one to warn a hundred, let them fight for their own interests. As long as the Immortal Dynasty can bring them benefits, they will naturally be convinced."

"Once the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty is firmly established, we will immediately attack Lingque Cave Heaven and the Nangong Family, severing their ties with Qingzhou."

He raised his hand, and a golden list appeared in his palm, echoing the Central Continent Cauldron in the sky.

Luo Tianming looked at the Central Continent Cauldron, "The one that can truly suppress the Central Continent and control its destiny is the Immortal Ranking."

The elder beside him said intently, "Holy Lord, the Immortal Ranking is being refined..."

"It's already underway," Luo Tianming said softly. "I've been using the Central Continent Cauldron to refine the Immortal Ranking day and night, and it will be completed in two months."

"Those who submit to the Celestial Dynasty can be included in the Celestial Ranking and enjoy the blessing of fortune."

His tone was authoritative: "From now on, those who disobey will be removed from the Immortal List and stripped of their fortune. Those who obey will have their names recorded on the Immortal List and be blessed with good fortune."

"By then..."

Luo Tianming looked up at the entire Central Plains, as if he could already see the scene of all people kneeling in worship and all sects submitting.

"In Zhongzhou, only my Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty will remain."

"What the Daoist academy can do, I can certainly do as well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Central Continent Cauldron in the sky shone brightly, and countless streams of dark yellow energy descended, completely merging with the protective array of the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land, transforming into a vast net of fortune that enveloped the entire Heavenly Spirit Holy Land.

"Later, contact Wanbaoge as soon as possible to continue purchasing a large number of warships and various magical artifacts. At the same time, contact the Yang family to take control of the teleportation arrays in major cities," Luo Tianming ordered.

"I will obey the Holy Lord's command!" The elder beside him accepted the order and silently withdrew.

The spiritual veins of the distant mountains began to tremble slightly, and countless streams of spiritual energy converged towards the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land.

As the Central Continent Cauldron was fully activated, the scattered fortune of the Central Continent began to slowly gather.

Listening to the Waves Garden, a sacred place of soaring winds.

Xia Linxian and Li Jingyun were both shocked to receive the message from Anxiang Tower, learning that the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land actually possessed the Central Continent Cauldron and intended to establish a Celestial Dynasty to oppose the Great Yan.

The two men had furrowed brows and looked worried.

"When did the Central Plains Cauldron arrive at the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land? We haven't heard a thing!"

"I originally thought that even if they formed an alliance, they would be nothing more than a disorganized mess, and we could defeat them one by one when the Immortal Dynasty's army arrived," Xia Linxian said dejectedly.

Li Jingyun frowned deeply: "We must not allow them to successfully establish the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Dynasty. If they also manage to gather the myriad spiritual fortunes of an immortal dynasty, then the expansion of the Great Evolution Immortal Dynasty will be extremely difficult!"

"I will immediately send a message to the Imperial Preceptor, and I will make sure their Immortal Dynasty is destroyed!" Xia Linxian said.

"The teleportation array of the Fuyou Holy Land will be completed in seven days. At that time, we will spare no expense to send a large army here!" Xia Linxian continued urgently.

"As soon as the Immortal Dynasty's army arrives, they will surely be brought to an abrupt end! I will immediately go to the Yang family and bribe all the teleportation arrays in their Central Continent to serve only the Dao Academy, cutting off the Heavenly Spirit Holy Land's ties with other forces!" Li Jingyun said.

"Alright, Junior Brother Li, be careful." Xia Linxian patted him on the shoulder.

Li Jingyun acted swiftly and decisively, leaving immediately after speaking.
