Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1347 - 16: At Last the Dragon Emperor, Daoist Skill Perfected—My Name Is Cloud Sky Dao! (16,000)
He stayed in the Dragon Court for another five years.
He purged all the rebellious dragons from the Dragon Court Ancient Land, unifying the ten countries into one entity.
"The strong in the Dragon Court Ancient Land can first take only part of them out."
"But treasures can be cleared out a bit first."
Then he came to the Central Dragon Court, where he began to issue laws.
The laws focused on two main points.
One was to collect materials related to spiritual energy, and the other was to gather the rare and exotic species within the Dragon Court.
Three years later, Zhao Xing announced the upcoming migration of some clan members to live in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Years passed, and when Zhao Xing finally emerged from the Dragon Court Ancient Land, it was already the 95th year of Yuan Shuo.
By this time, fifty-three years had passed since the fourth entry into the Dragon Court.
...
"Boom~"
The Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate shook, beginning to expand.
The sea surface suddenly surged with waves.
Figures afar observed with tension.
"The Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate has never enlarged or shrunk before; someone must be coming out."
"Will it be Zhao Xing or the Purple Dragon God coming out?"
"It must be Zhao Xing!"
"Ah, the likelihood of the Purple Dragon God's return is slim; the Wu Yue God has delivered a divine oracle saying that the Purple Dragon God is likely dead."
"Don't speak recklessly! We still have hope!"
...
After a brief tremble, a dragon head emerged from the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate.
Then followed its dragon body, pavilion, and dragon tail.
A stately figure stood on the deck of the Dragon Ship; it was Zhao Xing.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"
The two distant groups of observers promptly made different decisions.
The strong of the Great Zhou quickly rushed over, smiling.
"Hahaha, it's Zhao Xing!"
"I knew it would be Zhao Xing!"
"King Zhao is awesome!"
"Shouldn't he be called Emperor Zhao?"
"Ahem, Brother Ye, saying such things abroad is fine, but don't say them back home."
"..."
The strong of the Outer Alliance fled while lamenting.
"It's over; the fall of the Purple Dragon God is confirmed!"
"Eight years of anticipation, and still no miracle!"
"The sky has fallen for the Purple Dragon Royal Court!"
"The God is dead; where do we go now?"
"Hurry back and escape."
The Purple Qilin King with dragon horns on his head, who once showcased prominence during the Western Extremities War, was now weeping bitterly.
As a matter of fact, when the Dragon Emperor's phantom appeared outside the Heaven and Earth Dragon Gate, the Wu Yue God had issued divine oracles regarding the Purple Dragon God's situation.
However, due to the presence of the Three Gods Fate Palace, the Wu Yue God dared not make definitive statements about the internal affairs.
Nonetheless, the Wu Yue God was held in absolute authority in everyone's heart, and since she stated the high likelihood of the Purple Dragon God's demise, it was considered almost certain.
Thus, the entire Outer Alliance left only a few strong members of the Purple Dragon Royal Court waiting here, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"No miracle occurred; the great Purple Dragon God is still dead," murmured the Purple Qilin King, eyes devoid of focus.
When the Purple Dragon God initially appeared, it was akin to the descending of a god from totem for the royal family, and the Purple Qilin King had even received guidance.
It was initially thought to be a grand resurgence, but the god died swiftly, such a blow was too great.
The Purple Qilin King could imagine the collapse that would ensue upon returning, the dissolution of the Royal Court.
He crumbled, while Ji Si's mouth cracked into a smile.
"Congratulations to King Zhao for successfully conquering the Dragon Clan."
"Congratulations to King Zhao!"
Godspeed Commander Dong Ze, Beichen King Qin Feng, Lu Ying, and even Luo Hou King all bowed to Zhao Xing in congratulation.
The weight of King Zhao who conquered the Dragon Court was entirely different now.
The significance was entirely different as well.
If Zhao Xing wished, he could now become the leader of the third superpower in the Xuanhuang Realm!
There would be no need to worry about rebellion, after all, the Dragon Clan had a bloodline theory, much easier to govern than the Human Clan, the cohesion was distinctly different.
"Please rise, esteemed lords," Zhao Xing responded with a smile, "I know you all have many questions, but let's wait until we return to court. Once the official documents are prepared and submitted to His Majesty, everyone will know."
"As it should be," Luo Hou King nodded, such matters indeed must be promptly reported to Ji Che.
....
Tianyong State, Fengjing.
In the 95th year of Yuan Shuo, Zhao Xing brought thirty-eight Great Dragon Kings to the capital.
Including Yin Xiu, Hog, Tian Ji, Zhi... all of them were of the supreme realm!
The Dragon Clan possessed a shape-shifting technique similar to the Marquis Transformation Method, and they were currently in human form.
When Zhao Xing returned, the court was instantly abuzz!
"What? King Zhao actually conquered the Dragon Court and could bring the Dragon Clan out?"
"Are they like Bai Yunwu, the Dragon King?"
"Rumor has it they're even stronger than Bai Yunwu, I saw Bai Yunwu bowing in salute to those behind King Zhao before the court assembly."
"Huh, suddenly there's thirty-eight water clans stronger than the White Dragon King?"
"It's the Dragon Clan, not the Water Clan!"
"The White Dragon King isn't pure, those brought by King Zhao are pure."
"Whoa, so the White Dragon King was a hybrid, I always thought the branch from the East Sea was purebred Dragon Clan."
"Hmph, there's a legend of Ancestor Dragon giving birth to all things, all are descendants of dragons, there's no talk of purity or impurity. You all are quite disrespectful!"
"Are you an official from the Bai Family? You're unfamiliar to me, may I know your esteemed name?"
"I do not change my name while walking or sitting, I am Long Xiao!"
"Ah, it's Marquis Shenxiao, apologies, we misspoke earlier."
"..."
The court assembly commenced, and Yin Xiu along with thirty-eight Great Dragon Kings were appointed by Ji Che as chief officials of the Proclamation Department of Great Zhou, first rank, all stationed in the East Sea, instantly adding thirty-eight official institutions.
Ji Che bestowed them with titles, and they accepted, which also signified the Dragon Clan being incorporated into the Great Zhou's Qi Fortune system.
Upon the completion of awards conferred upon Zhao Xing, Yin Xiu, and others, on the very day of the 95th year of Yuan Shuo, Ji Che invited Zhao Xing to share good news.
