Chapter 0732 – The Immortal Sect Is Shaken

Every proclamation of imperial conferral sent ripples through the hearts of the people, sparking fervent discussion.

They were thrilled.

This was not just any recognition—it was a Dynastic Conferral, akin to being enshrined among the gods. Once granted, the recipient would be vested with a Heavenly Position (Tiandi Yèwèi), a supreme honor. Furthermore, it brought vast improvements in cultivation and fortune, as Destiny Feedback would strengthen the individual. Remarkably, this feedback could even temper one's natural aptitude, making them more formidable.

"By decree: Zhao Ziyan is appointed Imperial Princess of the Great Yi Dynasty, to partake in its fortune. Rank: First Grade."

"By decree: Zhao Haifeng is granted the title of Carefree King, to partake in the fortune of the Great Yi Dynasty. Rank: Supreme Grade. Invested with a Heavenly Position."

"By decree: Huang Yu is granted the title of Carefree Queen Consort, to partake in the fortune of the Great Yi Dynasty. Rank: First Grade. Invested with a Heavenly Position."

Yi Tianxing had not forgotten his family.

Zhao Ziyan was his sister. Zhao Haifeng and Huang Yu, though not his biological parents, could not bear the Heavenly Position of a Retired Emperor—not to mention, such a title did not exist in a Destiny Dynasty.

Zhao Ziyan, the biological daughter of his adoptive parents, had grown up with him as if they were real siblings. Their bond ran deep, so her title as Imperial Princess was only natural. As for his adoptive parents, they could not be named Retired Emperor or Empress. Instead, he conferred the title of Carefree King and Queen, wishing them a life free from worldly burdens.

These conferments were all made by Yi Tianxing himself.

On matters concerning Yi Tianxing's family—matters akin to royal household affairs—figures like Huang Chengyan refrained from commenting.He was the sovereign of the Destiny Dynasty. No one could object to him honoring his adoptive family and sister.

Besides, Zhao Ziyan and her parents had never appeared in Xuanhuang City. Whether they were even alive remained a mystery.

"By decree: Cai Yong is appointed Minister of Rites. He shall enter the Hall of Heavenly Virtue and serve as Principal of the Eternal Academy. Rank: First Grade."

Yi Tianxing continued issuing edicts.Looking at Cai Yong, he said solemnly:

"There is no suitable candidate for the Ministry of Rites at present, so I must ask Father-in-law to temporarily assume the role. Once a replacement is found, we shall make adjustments. I apologize for the inconvenience."

He knew Cai Yong preferred to avoid politics. But within the current state of Great Yi, capable talent was scarce. Thus, even his father-in-law had to be pressed into service.

"If that is the case, I will oversee the Ministry for now," Cai Yong replied, his eyes softening as he glanced at Cai Yan's belly.

He had long seen Yi Tianxing's devotion to his daughter. Now, as she was being crowned queen, there was no doubt of their deep affection.

"By decree: Zhang Yue is appointed Chief of the Six Doors and Acting Minister of Justice. Rank: First Grade."

The Ministry of Justice required someone proficient in law and skilled in solving cases. Zhang Yue, originally a modest talent and a mere constable, had risen solely due to his early loyalty to Yi Tianxing. Even leading the Six Doors stretched his ability; handling the Ministry of Justice was beyond his scope. But with no better candidate, a stopgap had to be made.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yue exclaimed, his joy tinged with unease. He was all too aware of his limitations—such rapid ascension felt surreal.

"By decree: Xue Jin is appointed Head of the Myriad Treasures Hall and Minister of Revenue. Rank: First Grade."

The Ministry of Revenue had already split functions; Xue Jin was best suited to handle finance and taxation. Jia Yucun already helmed the Celestial Register Hall, so the task fell to Xue Jin—for now.

If the arrangement didn't work out, it could always be reshuffled later.

"By decree: Jiang Ni is appointed Director of the Astronomical Observatory, responsible for geomancy, celestial phenomena, and monitoring national destiny and feng shui. Rank: First Grade."

One edict after another was proclaimed.

Inside the grand hall, joy lit up every face—especially those who had followed Yi Tianxing from humble beginnings. They were all given honor and title.

"By decree!"

At last, when the final conferral had been made, Yi Tianxing grasped the Xuanhuang Imperial Seal and pressed it onto the Deification List (Fengshen Bang).

In that instant, the list erupted with brilliant nine-colored light. Divine rays shot out, piercing into each person in the hall. At the same time, a sliver of their true soul was drawn into the Deification List.

"This... this is the Heavenly Position! I can feel myself now spiritually linked to the Great Yi Dynasty. We are inseparably bound!"

"The Myriad Immortals Hall—I can sense myself seated within! My place in the heavenly court is real!"

"Destiny Feedback! A powerful force is surging into me. This is incredible—my bottleneck is gone. I'm breaking through!"

"Astounding. The lingering injuries in my body are healing under this feedback. It's miraculous."

With the infusion of destiny, each newly appointed official felt an overwhelming surge of energy and comprehension. One by one, they fell into meditation, circulating their cultivation techniques to absorb and refine the energy.

The Heavenly Position of Queen provided a 27x boost from destiny feedback.

The Carefree King likewise received a 27x increase.

First Grade received 18x.

Second Grade, 16x.

Third Grade, 14x.

Fourth Grade, 12x.

Fifth Grade, 10x.

Sixth Grade, 8x.

Seventh Grade, 6x.

Eighth Grade, 4x.

Ninth Grade, 2x.

This kind of enhancement was constant and permanent, as long as the Heavenly Position remained intact.

Meanwhile, atop Qionghua Mountain in the Kunlun Range.

Zhao Ziyan, training alongside her fellow disciples, suddenly trembled. She felt an invisible might descend from the void, pouring power into her. Her cultivation speed had increased eighteenfold.

It felt like the shackles of heaven and earth had been lifted—Dao Rhythms surrounded her, and cultivation had become as natural as sailing with the wind.

"By decree: Zhao Ziyan is appointed Imperial Princess of the Great Yi Dynasty, Rank: First Grade."

These words echoed in her mind.

"That's my brother's voice… The Great Yi Dynasty was really founded by my brother!"

Joy surged in Zhao Ziyan's heart. But it was quickly overwhelmed by the immense Destiny Feedback. She immersed herself in the transformation, forging a stronger self.

"What's happening? Look at Junior Sister Zhao—her body is radiating divine light, and she's surrounded by some kind of mighty power!"

"It's impossible to get close. This power is overwhelming… but she feels more noble, as if her very presence commands respect."

The surrounding disciples watched in stunned awe.

"Everyone back away! Don't approach!" ordered a young man in a purple sword robe.

Then—shua!—a flash of light, and several middle-aged cultivators appeared in the sky.Alongside them came a woman clad in a pale green palace gown, her aura serene and transcendent—like a celestial goddess.

"Greetings, Sect Master!" the disciples bowed.

"No need for formalities," the Sect Master of Qionghua Immortal Sect nodded lightly, then turned her gaze toward Zhao Ziyan, her eyes flashing with insight.

"A Heavenly Position, and Destiny Feedback. She's been conferred by a Destiny Dynasty—and a high-ranking position at that. So… Zhao Ziyan's background is far from ordinary."

From her vast experience, the sect master could see clearly: Zhao Ziyan was undergoing a divine transformation, signifying a profound bond with the Great Yi Dynasty.

"To think one of our so-called Heaven's Favored was actually closely tied to the lord of a Destiny Dynasty. That's going to complicate things," one elder muttered.

Zhao Ziyan was no longer just a gifted disciple—she was now a Princess of the Great Yi Dynasty. Even the sect couldn't treat her as it had before.

"Hmph, so what? It's not as if our Qionghua Immortal Sect has mistreated her. Many in the outside world would kill for a place here. She's lucky to have entered."

Another elder dismissed the concerns.

"Regardless of her origins, now that she bears a Heavenly Position, her cultivation will advance rapidly. She's still a disciple of our sect—and even if she's a royal, we of Qionghua will welcome her all the same," the goddess-like woman said calmly.
