"Ding! Host reminder, given the current cultivation situation of the emerging heroes, any hero who has not reached the True Immortal realm can use an ordinary Immortal Treasure once a month!"
"The Great Han has just entered the Immortal Realm, and its foundation is unstable. The citizens of the Great Han will need some time to adapt to the Immortal Realm. Therefore, taxes are waived for thirty years!"
Yang Hao declared, his words final.
"The Emperor is wise!" The civil and military officials rejoiced.
"Li Si!"
Yang Hao looked at the Prime Minister who had been diligently working since the founding of the Great Han.
"This subject is here!" Li Si cupped his hands and stepped forward.
"Li Si has assisted me in governing the six ministries, expanding the territory for the Great Han, and consolidating the national destiny. He has made great contributions!"
"Li Si, receive the imperial decree!" Yang Hao looked at the Prime Minister.
Li Si immediately knelt on both knees, his face filled with emotion.
"I hereby confer upon Li Si the title of First-Class Marquis of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty and the position of Right Prime Minister of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, ranking him above all officials and in charge of all political affairs!"
"This subject, Li Si, bows his head to thank His Majesty for his divine grace!" After standing up, he positioned himself to Yang Hao's right.
"Xiao He, receive the imperial decree!" Yang Hao looked beyond the officials at Xiao He, who was not wearing the court attire of the Great Han.
Xiao He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and knelt on both knees. At this moment, all the emerging heroes trembled in their hearts; Xiao He, one of the three outstanding figures of the early Han Dynasty, had also emerged.
"I hereby confer upon Xiao He the title of Left Prime Minister of the Great Han, to assist Li Si in handling the political affairs of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
"This subject, Xiao He, bows his head to thank His Majesty for his divine grace!" Xiao He bowed, his eyes shaking.
"Zhou Yu, receive the imperial decree!" After conferring the title upon Xiao He, Yang Hao looked at the handsome Grand Governor.
"I hereby confer upon Zhou Yu the title of Commander of the Yinglong Legion, and he shall immediately establish the navy of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, and be awarded the banner of the Yinglong Legion!!"
Yang Hao extended his hand and pointed. Before Wei Zhongxian, a banner covered in yellow divine radiance appeared. The banner depicted an Yinglong with a single horn and two wings, a scaly body and back ridges, and a large head.
"This subject, Zhou Yu, bows his head to thank His Majesty for his divine grace!" Zhou Yu rose, took the Yinglong Legion banner, and walked to the ranks of the military generals, standing solemnly.
"The Great Han has unified three thousand Dao States and ascended to the Immortal Realm as a whole. It has been promoted to the Great Han Immortal Dynasty. The civil and military officials have made indelible contributions. The generals of the Ten Great Legions shall be rewarded with one ordinary Immortal Treasure, and the civil officials shall each receive one hundred pills. Regardless of their rank, they may freely choose from the Pill Hall!"
"The system shall be used once to upgrade the weapons of all emerging heroes!"
Yang Hao then commanded.
"Ding! Host reminder, one opportunity to upgrade the weapons of all emerging heroes has been successfully deducted!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the weapons of all emerging heroes have been upgraded to ordinary Immortal Treasures!"
"This subject, and all others, bow their heads to thank His Majesty for his divine grace!"
The officials bowed in gratitude.
"From this day forward, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, and Zhang Dingbian shall be assigned to the Yinglong Legion!"
...
After a series of appointments and conferrals, Mao Xiang, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, entered the Xuanzheng Hall with a bow.
"Your Majesty, on the northern border of our Great Han, there is a being who claims to be from the Three Thousand Dao States, who has ascended through tribulation and wishes to see Your Majesty!"
"Hmm?"
For a moment, the officials in the hall looked at Mao Xiang. Ascended through tribulation, could it be Ye Xuan? No, no, no! They immediately shook their heads. Ye Xuan was originally a being of the Immortal Realm, how could he ascend through tribulation? Who could it be? Besides Ye Xuan, there were twelve beings in the Three Thousand Dao States who ascended to the Immortal Realm. However, due to the passage of time, the records of them were long lost. The inheritances left by these twelve were all submerged in the river of history. After all, when a new emperor ascended to the throne, the legacies of the previous dynasty's overlords would not be preserved once a new generation of powerful figures emerged.
"Announce him!"
"As you command!"
Mao Xiang rose, retreated from the Xuanzheng Hall, opened the grain storage path, and within a breath, appeared beside Wan Aijian.
"What kind of Immortal Treasure-level teleportation array is this?"
"No, no, no! The Great Han Immortal Dynasty has just entered the Immortal Realm, how could it have Immortal Treasures? What kind of teleportation array is this, that can travel between the border and the heart of the Immortal Dynasty in a few breaths!" Wan Aijian was moved. Not long after Mao Xiang left, he reappeared.
"His Majesty has decreed that you may enter the Immortal Dynasty!" Mao Xiang said respectfully, then stepped aside and gestured towards the grain storage path, saying, "Please!"
"Gulp!" Wan Aijian's shock was beyond measure. The combined might of the Heavenly Treasure Sect, the Nine Dragon Sect, and the Boundless Star Palace, with over a dozen True Immortals of the eighth layer felled by the Great Han one by one. Had the beings of the Three Thousand Dao States become this formidable?
As he entered the grain storage path, he saw beautiful mountains and rivers, just like the outside world. However, before he could fully take it in, he found himself standing before the Xuanzheng Hall.
Instantly, dozens of True Immortal auras surged towards him, some of them incredibly powerful. Was this still the Three Thousand Dao States he knew?
The Great Han Immortal Dynasty, having just entered the Immortal Realm, already possessed dozens of True Immortals, and had slain over a dozen outer sect elders of the Three Sects. The terrifying aura caused his legs to tremble slightly.
After Wei Zhongxian made the announcement, Wan Aijian followed Wei Zhongxian into the Xuanzheng Hall. Immediately, his attention was drawn to Meng Tian. The outer sect elder of the Nine Dragon Sect, Bai Bo, died at his hands. The sword qi that emanated from him was vividly etched in his memory.
With one sword, Bai Bo was struck out of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's territory, and with another sword, he traversed ten thousand miles to obliterate Bai Bo!
Terrifying!
If this person were in the Boundless Star Palace, he would be qualified to serve as an inner sect elder!
"Wan Aijian, a being from the Three Thousand Dao States, pays his respects to the Emperor of the Great Han!" Wan Aijian bowed slightly and said.
"Wan Aijian?"
Yang Hao nodded slightly. There were no records of a person named Wan Aijian in the Three Thousand Dao States from the late ancient period.
The records that remained of the Three Thousand Dao States only went back three thousand years before the Immortal Lord descended.
The eras in the Three Thousand Dao States were not divided by precise time periods. Instead, a new era began when a being dominated the plane, regardless of the duration. This continued until another powerful force replaced it, marking the beginning of a new era.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if my Wan Aijian sect has any legacy remaining?" Wan Aijian's expression was heavy. He was the twelfth person to become an immortal in the Three Thousand Dao States. When he saw Ye Xuan, millions of years had passed in the Immortal Realm, and in the Three Thousand Dao States, several eras, or even more, must have rushed by.
Given the immense passage of time, were there any embers of the legacy and sect he had left behind?
Yang Hao remained silent, calmly observing Wan Aijian. At this moment, Wan Aijian shook his head and gave a bitter smile. His legacy would not have survived in the new era. Such a long time had passed; it was indeed laughable to expect his Wan Aijian sect to still have a bloodline legacy remaining when he saw beings ascending from the plane.
"Your Majesty, Wan Aijian congratulates Your Majesty on unifying the Three Thousand Dao States and ascending to the Immortal Realm as a whole. This earth-shattering feat will undoubtedly greatly benefit the myriad beings of this plane!" After calming his emotions, Wan Aijian bowed to the golden radiance-shrouded Yang Hao.
