Chapter 248.1 - I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

This was a national celebration, and Lin Beifan declared a three-day holiday for everyone to celebrate together.

Therefore, on the day of the grand ceremony, common people from around the capital city all rushed over to witness this big national event.

Other countries and various powers also sent representatives.

As a result, the capital city was packed to the brim, bustling with people shoulder to shoulder.

“There are so many people here!”

“Of course! Today is the day Great Xia establishes the Empire, a grand event that happens once in a century. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of it?”

“That’s true! I remember that three years ago, Great Xia was just a small kingdom! Two years ago, Great Xia was a great kingdom! One year ago, Great Xia was a dynasty! And now, it’s becoming an Empire! Great Xia is truly changing every year!”

“The country is changing, and so are we! I remember I was a beggar without a house, money, or a wife three years ago! Two years ago, I had a stable job and a house! One year ago, through someone’s introduction, I married a modest and diligent wife! Now, I have a child! Hahaha…”

“Yes, these three years have been like a dream! Things I never dared to hope for have now come true! Being born in such a rising and prospering country is such a blessing! I hope Great Xia will prosper forever!”

“Me too! May Great Xia last forever, may Great Xia prosper forever!”

Mo Yuyan was also there.

Originally, she had only planned to go down the mountain to purchase some supplies before returning to continue her martial arts training.

However, upon hearing that Great Xia was about to establish an Empire, she traveled a great distance to be there.

Historical records indicated that an Empire only rose once every hundred years, so she didn’t want to miss this once-in-a-century celebration.

Walking on the bustling streets, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “There are so many people!”

She had attended other grand events before, but none as lively as this one.

Looking around, the city was overflowing with people everywhere.

The place would have probably descended into chaos if it hadn’t been for the imperial soldiers maintaining order.

“Of course, there are a lot of people here!”

Someone turned around and said to her with a smile, “Great Xia is establishing an Empire, a once-in-a-century event. Everyone wants to come and witness it with their own eyes! After all, how many centuries does one get in a lifetime?”

“That’s true!” Mo Yuyan laughed.

Wasn’t that the reason she had come?

The same went for everyone else!

Looking at the grand scene, Mo Yuyan sighed, “That Emperor of Great Xia is truly a remarkable man. At such a young age, he established an Empire in three years, receiving congratulations from all directions. He will surely have a glorious page in the history of Emperors!”

As she walked and observed the sea of people on the streets, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander.

With so many people here, she wondered if she would encounter someone from the Taoist Sect?

Hmph! Even if she did, so what?

If she couldn’t defeat them, couldn’t she still outrun them?

She couldn’t believe that the Taoist Sect would dare to cause trouble here!

Unconsciously, she drifted with the crowd until she arrived at the square in front of the imperial palace.

It was said that the square could accommodate a million people, but now it was already packed to the brim, impossible to squeeze into.

She tiptoed slightly, yet she still couldn’t get a clear view.

She thought about using her movement skills, but the entire city was under a martial ban. If you dared to use martial arts, it would be seen as a provocation against Great Xia, and you would be dealt with accordingly.

Although she was quite skilled, she didn’t want to invite unnecessary trouble.

Just then, she noticed a small door on the left side of the imperial palace, through which many people were entering.

She walked over thoughtfully but was stopped by someone.

The person was an Innate, who looked at her warily and said, “This way is off-limits!”

“I just saw many people going in!” Mo Yuyan said.

“This is a passage for honored guests! If you have an invitation or possess the strength of an Innate, you can enter the imperial palace and watch the ceremony up close,” the Innate replied.

Mo Yuyan thought for a moment, then released her powerful aura and asked, “Is this sufficient?”

The Innate’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

He hadn’t expected that this young woman would possess the peak strength of Imperial Qi, so overwhelming that it almost left him gasping for breath.

Thus, his voice become slightly more respectful: “Yes, you may enter. Please go ahead.”

“Thank you!” Mo Yuyan nodded.

She had just taken a few steps inside when she turned back and asked, “Aren’t you worried about letting people in so carelessly? With so many masters inside and numerous grievances, aren’t you afraid they’ll cause chaos?”

The Innate replied proudly, “Huh, no need to worry. Once you’re inside, you’ll understand. It won’t be chaotic.”

With that in mind, Mo Yuyan proceeded inside.

In less than the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, she arrived at a spacious hall.

There were quite a few people here, most of them Innate masters, amounting to over 300.

There were also quite a few Grandmaster experts, more than 20.

The last time such a grand occasion occurred was when the tomb of Heavenly Khan emerged out of nowhere.

However, at this moment, whether Innates or Grandmasters, all were behaving themselves.

This was because three of Great Xia’s Grandmasters were present.

Moreover, to everyone’s surprise, each of the Great Xia Grandmasters held a divine weapon in their hands.

A Grandmaster wielding a divine weapon could easily rank among the top ten Grandmasters.

If they joined forces, these three Great Xia Grandmasters could easily handle five or six other Grandmasters.

In addition, hanging above the hall’s ceiling was the Xuanxiao sword, the Defender of the State divine sword of Great Xia.

It was actually casually in the air, drifting around as if it had a mind of its own.

Mo Yuyan felt a deadly threat emanating from this divine sword, even more intense than what she sensed from the Grandmasters here.

Mo Yuyan finally understood why everyone here was so well-behaved.

Three Grandmasters, no, four if she counted the extraordinary divine weapon; that’s too extravagant!

With this combination, they could take on seven or eight Grandmasters without a problem!

Who in the world could muster such a force?

“Great Xia is stronger than I imagined!” Mo Yuyan sighed.

Just then, a familiar and angry voice rang out, “Demoness, you dare to show your face?”

Mo Yuyan turned her head and immediately smiled.

It turned out to be someone from the Taoist sect, and the one making noise was the very Taoist Master Yuming who had previously pursued her.

“How narrow the road of fate is. If you, a stinky Taoist, can come, why can’t I?” Mo Yuyan provocatively said, her hand already gripping the Love Pledge Sword given to her by Lin Beifan, ready to strike at any moment.

“You demoness!” The old Taoist was very angry, quickly approaching Mo Yuyan in just a few strides, a big fight about to erupt.

“Stop! The grand opening ceremony is about to begin, and both of you are honored guests. Please refrain from causing trouble!” Sword Elder, Peerless Spear Immortal, and Han Daosheng hurried over and stood between the two to prevent the conflict.

Then, the Xuanxiao Divine Sword flew over with a whoosh, pointing its tip at the old Taoist Master.

The old Taoist’s heart trembled with alarm, sensing that any rash movement might result in being decapitated!

At this moment, Song Yufei also ran over, persuading, “Master Uncle, let’s leave her for today!”

The old Taoist Master found a way to back down, softening his tone, “Fine! For the sake of Great Xia, I will not quarrel with you today! We will settle our grievances another day!”

Mo Yuyan snorted coldly, but inside she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was not afraid of the Taoist Sect Grandmaster, this was, after all, Great Xia’s territory. If a conflict arose, it would not be good for her either.
