Toast to the bright moon

Traversing the Nine Provinces in the Immortal Cultivation World, Lu Yuan possessed the Dao Fruit of longevity, an eternal lifespan. If he were careful, he could anticipate the Immortal Method.
This was indeed a beautiful thing.
However, he was born during the Age of Dharma Decline, with spiritual energy depleted and the Immortal Method difficult. The great path was elusive.
Even worse, the Immortal Cultivation World of the Nine Provinces was on the verge of collapse, and the four poles were about to fall, marking the end of an era.
If that was the case, why shouldn't a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states across the mountains?
To survive in the Age of Dharma Decline, Lu Yuan cultivated the ancient Way of Control Pneuma, established an Immortal Dynasty, and gathered Qi Luck. He brought order to the Nine Provinces and peace to the four seas.
Gathering strength from across the world, he ascended to immortality step by step.
In ancient times, there were three Human Emperors: Hua Guang, Xia Xi, and Hao Tian.
Who is the Human Emperor now?
It is Emperor Chu Luyuan.

To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

The twenty-eighth year of Longqing's reign.


It was a dreadful year for the people of Da Yue.


In January, Jinghai Country, a tributary state of Da Yue, accused the prefect of Da Yue's border prefecture of humiliating their ruler, seeking unlimited tribute, and arbitrarily killing its citizens. Jinghai declared that it was severing its ties with Da Yue, refusing to pay tribute, and breaking away as a vassal state.


In the same month, Jinghai mobilised an army of 100,000 troops and invaded Yulin County of Da Yue.


In February, the news reached the capital, causing Emperor Longqing to be furious. He ordered the formation of a southern expedition army of 200,000 troops to launch a punitive campaign against Jinghai Country.


At the same time, he issued a decree to levy a 'Pacify the Bandits' tax on all prefectures and counties to fund the southern expedition force.
