The nine dragons carved from ten-colored hades aimed towards the heavenly abode, baring their claws and fangs with might as if they could break out of the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square and soar towards the high heavens, becoming a real dragon flying in the sky.
Zhong Shan gently retrieved the Kong Ling Gem and called for the Kilns of Heaven and Earth.
He took a short glance of the Kong Ling Gem and swiftly cut his hand, allowing fresh blood to pour into the Kong Ling Gem. Shortly after, the Kong Ling Gem was refined completely. He did not remold it into anything, remaining only as a ball of sphere.
Zhong Shan then coalesced the Heavenly anime Dragon Jade Square and Kong Ling Gem together.
The Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade entered the Kong Ling Gem and created a false mirage that made the nine dragons to come alive in a blink of an eye. Other than its tails, everything else detached from the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square and swam about in circles.
The Kong Ling Gem began to change its spherical shape and the nine dragons roared with supreme might as it continuously slammed against the Kong Ling Gem, attempting to break it.
But however, the frantic struggles of the nine dragons were for naught for the Kong Ling Gem did not show evident signs of breaking.
Ang~~
Ang~~
The nine dragons bellowed, struggling relentlessly within. The nine dragons attempts to burst out from within the Kilns of Heaven and Earth and soar towards the high heavens were futile.
Zhong Shan's lips crossed into a light a smile as he looked at the nine dragons bellowing.
According to the "Establishing a Heavenly Imperial Court" scripture, the most perfect of the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square was one that after entering the Kilns of Heaven and Earth, it would burst forth with supreme might and intelligence, fighting over for the rights of the Kong Ling Gem.
If one did not have the necessary resources and treasures to subdue the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade, there was the high possibility of it breaking free from the Kong Ling Gem and leaving the owner with absolutely nothing.
For Zhong Shan, he had long prepared for it. If the treasure in his hand was unable to subdue it, then what sort of treasure in the world would be capable of subduing the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade?
With a flick of his hands, Zhong Shan retrieved an object. The object was a red sphere about the size of a dragon's eyes and the very same red sphere that brought him from earth to this world. He did not know of the treasure in his hands, but he did not care. He did not need to know what it was. Zhong Shan only needed to know that it was valuable, unique, and an absolute treasure worthy of use.
Zhong Shan gently sent the red sphere treasure in his hands into the Kong Ling Gem.
The moment the red sphere entered the Kong Ling Gem, the nine dragons was shocked. It was if they were mere rats meeting a mouse or a gang of hoodlums seeing a proper, poise gentleman.
The nine dragons quickly rushed towards the red sphere, forgetting about their initial intentions to break out of the Kilns of Heaven and Earth.
The nine dragons fought over the red sphere, each of them opened their mouths as if they were trying to swallow the sphere whole without any regards for their lives.
At the moment where the nine dragons were about to take a bite of the red sphere, it let out a weak red glow, and the red glow seemingly had some immense suppression force as the nine dragons came to a pause and were locked in place, but the posture of the nine dragons, however, still appeared to be fighting over the red sphere.
Watching this scene, Zhong Shan could faintly tell how miraculous the red sphere was, but he still couldn't identify it.
Controlling the Kong Ling Gem and the Kiln of the Heaven and Earth, he quickly refined the large Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square.
Slowly, the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square started to change its shape and turned into a large jade, with the shape of a full moon.
With the Jade Moon at the top, the nine dragons coiled around the red sphere placed at the center and at the bottom was a large square stamp.
In addition, under Zhong Shan's control, the base of the stamp gradually exposed eight large characters in reverse.
"Receiving the Mandates of the Heavens and Immortality."
With a single glance, the eight characters appeared extremely arrogant and had a tyrannical feeling to it.
"Receiving the Mandates of the Heavens and Immortality!
If the stamp was pressed down, there will be these characters imprinted.
The Emperor Jade Seal. Nine dragons scaling the heavens
"Heavenly Jade Square Seal" Zhong Shan named it.
From the point on, the big seal with the nine dragons twisted about at the top, each trying to swallow the mysterious pearl and the characters "Receiving the Mandatesof the Heavens and Immortality" engraved below was the only seal that Zhong Shan will use.
Heavenly Jade Emperor.
He will become the symbol of a nation, as soon as the seal was produced, the four directions trembled as the seal absorbed all the luck within the country, absorbing the heaven and earth, suppressing a country, suppressing a dynasty, suppressing all beneath the heavens.
Gently, he placed the Heavenly Jade Square Seal down on the table, retrieving yet another Kong Ling Gem.
Following the same step initial steps, he then grabbed hold of the Nine Colored Dragon Silkworm and the nine colored silk placing them into the Kong Ling Gem.
In Zhong Shan's eyes, the value of the Nine Colored Dragon Silkworm was much higher than the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square he did not expect to find it so early, but thanks to his luck, he came across it and with it, he would be like a tiger with wings.
As soon as the two Dragon Silkworm were thrown into the Kilns of Heaven and Earth, they started to struggle about frantically just like the nine dragons on the Heavenly Nine Dragon Jade Square previously, thrashing about with all their might and the force released by them was greater than that of the nine dragons.
Zhong Shan continued to use his blood and Qi as fuel for the Kilns of the Heaven and Earth.
The two Dragon Silkworm thrashed about for quite a moment, and finally became somewhat furious, they started to shed their outer layer of skin, and slowly revealed two-foot-long silver dragons, compared to the previous nine dragons, they looked more intelligent and conscious and the dragons took a side each and start charging towards it.
What Zhong Shan to do now was to continue to keep the two dragons separated, he absolutely cannot allow them to ram in the same direction.
Finally, after an hour has passed, the two dragons came to a stop, no, there were dead. Absolutely dead, and if they were still alive, it would be like a human in the state of a coma, not moving at all.
Zhong Shan's face was somewhat pale, but the huge blood loss was all worth it as the two-foot-long dragons started to turn into threads slowly, and at this moment, it actually exposes all the claws of the dragons with all the claws grabbing on to a piece of cloth.
All of the original silk transformed into a brocade, a nine meters long brocade with nine colors on it and was embroidered with clouds.
Looking at it, it was as if there was nine colored clouds and mists revolving around the brocade.
Imperial Edict!
The bodies of the two small dragons became the axle, and the nine cloud brocade appeared to be the main part of the Imperial Edict.
Imperial Edict? The Nine Colored Dragon Silkworm will transform into something like an Imperial Edict?
However, at the back of the Imperial Edict did not really have the two characters " Imperial Edict".
Instead, there were four nine colored fantasy-like characters slowly emerging out.
"Investiture of the Gods"
According to the “Establishing A Heavenly Imperial Court Scripture”, the Investiture of the Gods was to be used to punish or rewards those beneath the heavens, confer official titles and was the source for the Emperor to transmit the will of the heavens.
This Investiture of the Gods will become the first decree for those beneath the heavens, linking nations together. Communicating with the heavens above and checking on the people below.
On behalf of the Investiture of the Gods, punishing and rewarding heaven and earth.
Of course, this was the final goal of Zhong Shan and currently, he was far from it.
In the future, every Imperial Edict would be to go through this Investiture of the gods.
After completing the Heavenly Jade Square Seal and the Investiture of the Gods, Zhong Shan took a short break and then proceed to keep those two nations-establishing tools. He stood up and made his way out of the underground secret room walking up to his private room and made his way outside.
It was still dark, Zhong Shan walked toward the entrance of the courtyard and Zhong Tian was still patiently guarding outside.
"Let's go, follow me to Yi Lan Hall."
"Yes," Zhong Tian nodded.
The two of them returned to Yi Lan Hall as they waited patiently.
As the first morning light leaked out, Ying Lan ran over quickly with an excited expression.
"Granduncle" Ying Lan ran into the hall, snatched a teacup and started to gulp down the water in big mouthfuls.
"How is it?" Zhong Shan asked.
"There were some still rebels, but all of them were suppressed by the army I brought along with me. Also, other than those put to death, we have incorporated a total of seventy thousand soldiers and in regards to those outside the city, I'll capture them relatively soon. At that time, granduncle can deal with them however you like.
Ying Lan replied enthusiastically.
"Good, Ying Lan, you performed well." Zhong Shan was never stingy with his praises.
As expected, under Zhong Shan's praise, Ying Lan's expression quickly changed into happiness.
"Then you better train those troops, in the future, they will be your soldiers." Zhong Shan laughed.
"Ok" Ying Lan nodded.
"Train them well, Great Kun does not only consist of this small area, after some time, I hope you will be able to bring your army about to quell the rebels and defend against the invasion from the five countries." Zhong Shan smiled.
"En" Ying Lan nodded.
At this moment, Zhong Zheng and Wei Tai Zhong are making their way into the hall slowly.
"Foster Father, the people have been appeased, everything is progressing in order." Zhong Zheng said with excitement.
"Good." Zhong Shan nodded in satisfaction.
"Zheng Er, I mentioned to you before, as long as the Su Family is exterminated, a few of the nearby cities will support me, I want you to quickly send people over to take over them in order and also let Ying Lan send some troops over to protect them, if there are any rebels within the city, leave them alone for the time being, I want you to gain control of what you can." Zhong Shan said.
"Yes," Zhong Zheng quickly replied.
"Your Majesty, When will you officially announced to all under the heavens about you becoming an Emperor and starting your own country?" Wei Tai Zhong suddenly said.
As Wei Tai Zhong said, the crowd looked towards Zhong Shan.
"En, after two months, on the 7th of July, on the top of an altar, we will offer sacrifice and establish our country." Zhong Shan replied seriously.
