To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 639: Chapter 292: True Person Guardian of the Nation_3

The only one who could be compared, would be their own unfathomable king, who might be able to suppress this True Person Huang.

Otherwise, why would the other party eagerly come to serve Great Chu?

Doesn’t that just prove their king’s strength and excellence?

Just as the people in the hall were pale-faced and shaky from the imposing aura, Huang Xuan, who had achieved the desired deterrent effect, finally withdrew his aura and didn’t continue to force them.

Otherwise, if someone couldn’t bear it and collapsed or fainted on the spot, it would be somewhat unsightly.

It was also at this time that Lu Yuan spoke: “I will soon lead the troops to battle, and True Person Huang Xuan will replace me, governing Qianzhong County and overseeing military and political affairs as the leader of the county.

Gu Weijun and Liu City, you two will be the governor and captain of Qianzhong County, respectively as the heads of civil and military affairs. From now on, you must wholeheartedly assist True Person Huang Xuan and protect my newly-developed territory.”

Among the ministers below, Gu Weijun and Liu City, who still had pale faces, looked at each other, stepped out together, and took their orders from Lu Yuan: “We obey. In the future, we will definitely devote our full efforts to assist True Person Huang Xuan and govern Qianzhong County well.”

After that, the two looked at Huang Xuan and bowed together: “We pay our respects to True Person Huang Xuan, and look forward to your guidance and care in the future.”

“Mmm.”

Emotionless Huang Xuan just coldly replied, which served as a response.

Seeing this, everyone present pondered and it seemed that this newly-appointed Guardian True Person was not so easy to deal with.

However, after experiencing what just happened earlier, they were aware that the person in front of them was a powerful True Person with genuine immortal abilities.

Moreover, they had heard the king mention earlier that True Person Huang Xuan had been cultivating in the deep mountains and had little contact with people, so it was understandable that he had a solitary nature.

Most importantly,

A True Person comparable to the second realm of Innate, such a figure, even if he were a cruel and murderous demon head, everyone would have to worship him like an ancestor.

For those who have made it to their current positions, everyone knew what a second realm Innate expert meant for Chu State.

Such a figure was almost equivalent to a national treasure, capable of ensuring a country’s Qi Luck for a long time, and its prosperity would never decline.

Especially this True Person Huang, who seemed to be not very old. Although cultivators can rejuvenate their appearance, the essence of their life force cannot be concealed.

True Person Huang gave everyone the feeling of being young, like a teenager’s vigor, and not like someone who had lived for hundreds of years.

It can be said that with the help of such a person, Great Chu had a guarantee for the next hundred years and would not have to worry about its downfall.

A Grandmaster of the second realm of Innate could protect a country from destruction, even when facing a dominant empire.

After all, a Grandmaster of the first realm of Innate could still be killed by others. But for those in the second realm, it would be extremely difficult to kill such a person even if ten first realm Grandmasters were gathered.

And as long as such a person doesn’t die, who would dare to destroy the country he protects?

With True Person Huang, as long as he doesn’t die, Great Chu will be safe.

Not just one guarantee, it should actually be two guarantees.

Some smart people looked at their own king who was sitting at the head of the table with a solemn and calm expression.

Being able to suppress the True Person before them, combined with their own king’s reputation as a Military God for his ability to command troops, this was undoubtedly an even more terrifying person than True Person Huang Xuan.

And now, Great Chu has two such figures.

With this thought, the loyalty, trust, and pride of the ministers in the hall toward Great Chu deepened even further.

Great Chu was thriving day by day, with more and more powerful people emerging within the country.

Grand General breaking through Innate realm two years ago, and True Person Huang Xuan this year, unwittingly, their Chu State now had four Innate level combatants.

No, some people who knew more couldn’t help but recall the envoy from Xichuan who had come to serve a few days ago.

It seemed that Xichuan was also preparing to submit to Chu State and was planning to offer land and allegiance.

If he could annex Xichuan, the Sage King of the other side would also be an Inborn Grandmaster.

In that case, Chu State would have as many as five Inborn Grandmaster level figures.

This number already exceeded that of Ning Country to the east.

The once-dominant state was now inferior to Chu State in terms of strength at the Innate level.

Just think about the widely spread rumors in recent years.

Chu State would replace Ning Country as the lord of Yangzhou.

Previously, the ministers didn’t take it seriously and even sneered at it.

But at this moment, as they looked down at the land of Qianzhong County below their feet and at True Person Huang Xuan in front of them, they couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

Perhaps, maybe, possibly, this might not be an illusion, but something genuinely achievable.

The pounding heartbeats appeared in many people, as they had to admit that they were tempted.

Being a minister of a hegemonic state was far more glorious than being a minister of a major country.

Expectation arose in the hearts of the ministers.

Not just them, even Lu Yuan at this moment was expectant.

However, what he expected was not what the ministers were thinking. Turning Chu State into a hegemonic state was a matter of course for him. All he needed to do was to spend a few decades managing it step by step, and everything would fall into place.

There wouldn’t be any accidents.

What Lu Yuan was looking forward to now was the sudden surge of Qi Luck before his eyes and the upcoming larger-scale wave of Qi Luck.

Chu State had gained a True Person at the second level of Innate to protect the nation, which was a matter of increasing national strength. It was already known that this would cause a surge in the Qi Luck he could gather.

At this point, announcing it to the ministers was simply to harvest this wave of Qi Luck.

The only surprise for Lu Yuan was: ‘This increase in Qi Luck is actually 30% more than expected. Is it because the True Person announced this time is on par with the second advancement of Innate, so there is such an increase?’

Having thought so in his heart, he looked at the ministers and spoke to the official from the Ministry of Rites standing over there, “The Ministry of Rites should also make preparations these days to organize the investiture ceremony of the True Person who protects the nation.

Send messengers to the other countries, inviting them to come and witness the ceremony together.

My Great Chu has gained another True Person to protect the nation, and this great joy should be celebrated by all.”

After saying this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but ponder.

With the announcement that Chu State had Huang Xuan as a True Person comparable to the second realm of Innate, it should be possible to properly deter the neighboring countries, suppressing their burgeoning ambitions.

So that these guys wouldn’t lose their patience and try to take advantage of Chu State’s inability to spare any forces, coming over to loot.

Well, besides that, announcing this news would also help harvest another wave of Qi Luck.

A few months ago, when he broke through the realm and condensed his Qi, Lu Yuan consumed the Qi Luck he had accumulated over several years.

Now, the Qi Luck in his body only consisted of two or three months’ worth of storage, which was so thin that it could barely support his cultivation.

Now that there was another big spender of Qi Luck like Huang Xuan, he had to take the opportunity to earn more Qi Luck. Otherwise, he would face shortages when trying to communicate with the Heavenly Pillars to draw in spiritual energy in the future.

As for Lu Yuan, who now relies on his magical power as his biggest trump card, this situation was naturally unacceptable, and it must be changed and remedied.

‘Well, I hope I can harvest more Qi Luck this time.’

He sighed, and then looked at Huang Xuan with full expectation.

In the coming months, whether the days would be affluent or impoverished would depend entirely on this True Person who protects the nation.

Don’t disappoint me.
