Chapter 395: True God Tenth Level, Come to Join_1
Having to bid them farewell in the presence of the Celestial Gods and from the Origin Spirit Clan filled Li Xian with irritation.
He hadn't felt such a sense of frustration since breaking through to the level of the Celestial Gods.
But he also knew that even if he struck first, the Celestial Gods of the Origin Spirit Clan would not counterattack; they may even hinder him as battling here would inevitably lead to the destruction of their clan.
"Li Xian, what should we do next?"
The expression on the face of the Yuanhai Celestial God was rather unpleasant.
"I've already said, the Great Emperor will return. What we need to do before that is to rebuild the Everlasting Empire. The Holy Sky Empire will undoubtedly try to stop us. We will have to face them in a battle and clear away some insubordinate forces. The Empire would send reinforcements from within the Forever Forbidden Zone."
Li Xian remained extremely calm at this point.
"How should we handle Dawu?" Yuanhai Celestial God asked.
"Hmph! I am responsible for the power of this territory, and I will preside over here. Dawu will be eliminated too. Think of it; they dared to marry a clan chief from the Yao clan as a consort, thus not keeping my Everlasting Empire in their sights. This will only spell trouble in the future."
The orders Li Xian received were to center on the Origin Spirit Realm and remove all forces that defy the Empire around it.
"The Origin Spirit Clan will heed the Empire's commands!"
Yuanhai Celestial God deeply understood that the Eternal Big World will stir chaos again. Even they, the Origin Spirit Clan, might be eradicated.
"Right now, the main forces of the Empire are dealing with the Holy Sky Dynasty, and there's not much strength left to support this place. We will have to bear more responsibilities here."
...
At this time.
Leaving the Origin Spirit Clan, Chu Yuan secretly went to Ten Cities first.
The Ancestor of Ten Cities had been waiting for him, respectfully handing over the resources collected recently to Chu Yuan.
The resources they collected were abundant, which made Chu Yuan very satisfied.
"You have done well, I am pleased. I speculate that the Origin Spirit Clan will soon be rallying the strong to join their army within the Origin Spirit Realm - things will not remain peaceful."
Chu Yuan said.
"Your Majesty, what should we do then?"
The Ancestor of the Ten Cities was also nervous.
They now belonged to Dawu, especially as moles within the Origin Spirit Realm. They tread on thin ice, where a little mishap in being discovered could mean catastrophic destruction for them.
"You continue to stay in the Origin Spirit Realm, collecting resources and gathering intelligence for me. My orders will be passed on via Kongmidao K'un. As long as you serve me faithfully, I will not treat you unjustly."
Chu Yuan took out ten bottles of Divine Elixirs.
"Imperial Divine Elixirs!"
Upon getting a whiff of the elixir's fragrance, the Ancestor of the Ten Cities' face drastically changed. He immediately knelt down and said,"I will follow all of your commands, Your Majesty!"
While controlling their spirits, it was also necessary to give them appropriate benefits; otherwise, who would work so hard for you?
"How far are you from becoming a Celestial God?"
Chu Yuan looked at Ning Xiuchen, knowing that Dawu severely needed a powerful deterrent at the Celestial God level.
"Returning from the True God level to the Celestial God level is a significant hurdle, but I'm returning, not breaking through; all I need are a large amount of Imperial Divine Elixirs that can restore my spirit. In a few months, I will surely return to the strength of a Celestial God, ready to fight for Your Majesty!"
Ning Xiuchen knew better than anyone that he couldn't leave Chu Yuan.
"Good, thereafter dedicate all your efforts to healing. I have the elixirs here."
Chu Yuan gave orders regarding the tasks for the Ancestor of the Ten Cities, then returned to Dawu's Imperial City.
Dawu's Imperial City was thriving.
As the reputation of Dawu grew, many people were drawn to it. Sometimes, even True Gods would pledge allegiance, recognizing that Dawu was in a period of rapid development. Even though it might face powerful enemies, it was also the best time to join.
Pitching in during prosperity can never compare with offering help during adversity.
His three academies were also developing quite well now.

Each of the six domains were equipped with powerful mentors.
The Dawu Academy was a good place to discover special constitutions, and with the strong growth of the Human Dao, special constitutions could be discovered almost every day.
These special constitutions had their abilities recorded and sent over to Chu Yuan, then put into training with the Divine Army.
As for Liu's Tavern,
It was also set up within Dawu's Imperial City.
Liu Qing entered the Royal Palace and became Dawu's Imperial Chef.
"Your Majesty, you're here."
After arriving in Dawu, Liu Qing was extremely satisfied with the life there. Some of her clan members cultivated spiritual trees with the Medicine Tribe, while others set up taverns throughout the six realms.
"The dishes made by the Liu family are excellent, not only to my satisfaction but also to my imperial sisters. Well done."
The Imperial City is not only a holy place for training but also a sanctuary for leisure, where people can enjoy delicious food after tiring practice.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"
With Chu Yuan's praise, Liu Qing's face beamed with joy. Those words were the ultimate honor and livelong reputation.
She noticed that Chu Yuan appeared totally different from the Chu Yuan in the Origin Spirit Realm. At this moment, he was a benevolent Holy Emperor, very tolerant of his citizens.
Time flew and now it was the 39th year of Dawu.
"Your Majesty, there are two people at the gate of the palace seeking an audience."
In the Imperial Study Room, Eunuch Wei reported to Chu Yuan, "These two men claim to be Yao Tao and Liu Lian."
"Yao Tao, Liu Lian, they have finally come."
Chu Yuan wasn't surprised, instead, he ordered, "Announce their audience."
In the Imperial Study.
Yao Tao and Liu Lian arrived at Chu Yuan's study and saw an Emperor diligently handling his imperial duties from his throne.
The two exchanged glances: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The two had desired to join Dawu while still in the Origin Spirit Clan, but they had been hesitant.
They were aware of the brief skirmish that had unfolded in the Origin Spirit Clan. When they saw Chu Yuan majestically leave from the Clan's mountain entrance, they finally decided to visit the Dawu Imperial City and see if they could remain.
Upon arriving in the Imperial City, they were astonished.
Dawu was thriving, its scale vast and the nation's vitality was incredibly immense.
Especially the citizens of Dawu, their quality astounded them.
"Rise."
Chu Yuan asked, "Have you considered joining my Dawu?"
"Upon learning that Your Majesty's artifact refining sanctuary has an open-door policy and is recruiting refining masters from all over, I've developed the intention to join. However, I would also like to see adequate temptation that would urge me to join."
Although Liu Lian spoke respectfully, there was a hint of pride in his words.
"Makes sense," Chu Yuan said. "Take him to the artifact refining sanctuary. Let him meet Ouyang Ming. Tell him it is my intention to allow him to see the sanctuary to decide if it's worth his stay."
"Your Majesty, I, Yao Tao, have a lifetime passion for alchemy. May I see the pill scripts?"
Only Yao Tao remained in the study room after Liu Lian had left. He was astounded by the immense supply of elixirs he saw once he stepped foot in Dawu, an amount he could never replicate.
"Go on, have a look."
Chu Yuan handed Yao Tao a jade bottle and a piece of paper.
"The Imperial Divine Elixer!"
This was an authentic Imperial Divine Elixer!
Yao Tao was struck dumb on the spot!
His eyes couldn't believe the existence of this flawless Divine Elixir, its heavily dense aroma, and the immaculate skill that had produced it!
He could tell it was the most perfect Imperial Divine Elixir he had ever seen in his life.
Especially the pill script, it was also something he had never come across before.
Dawu must possess an extremely talented alchemist!
"Your Majesty, If I join Dawu, can I have access to the pill scripts and divine elixirs?"
Yao Tao cautiously asked.
"Yes, you can exchange adequate contributions for them. Each month, everyone gets some basic benefits."
Chu Yuan said, "I welcome talents from all over to join Dawu."
Liu Lian soon returned far more excited than when he departed, and immediately kneeled before Chu Yuan. He professed, "Your Majesty, I, Liu Lian, am willing to serve Dawu for life. I wish to join the Casting Institution, and not just serve in the artifact refining sanctuary!"
