Immortal V3C19: Conferring ranks and titles.

Translated by: RedLotus.

“From now on, Zhong Tian and Zhong Zheng will be the crown Princes of Great Zheng King Dynasty.” Zhong Shan said seriously.

“Yes, Imperial Father.” Zhong Tian and Zhong Zheng immediately obeyed the order and said.

At the same time, on the Investiture of the Gods, from left to right, on the top row, next to the King character, slowly the characters Crown Prince suddenly appeared, then under the Crown Prince characters, the two characters Zhong Tian, appeared next to it, also another Crown Prince characters appeared, followed by the two characters Zhong Zheng.

 
Two Crown Princes, the country that Zhong Shan wanted to build, was naturally different from other countries. The Crown Prince was no longer a heir apparent to the throne, but must obtain the approval of Zhong Shan. The two of them have obtained the approval previously, so both of them were conferred as Crown Princes. Only Zhong Tian name was in the front.

“From now on, Lin Xiao will be the commander of Great Zheng King Dynasty, 1st Legion.”

“From now on, Yinglan will be the commander of Great Zheng King Dynasty, 2nd Legion.”

 
Great Zheng King Dynasty, as long as the Great Zheng country did not step into the Sovereign Dynasty level, it is just a King Dynasty.

Then, on the Investiture of the Gods, the characters 1st Legion, 2nd Legion, Lin Xiao, Yinglan slowly appeared. They looked extremely dignified.

“From now on, Wei Taizhong will be Great Zheng King Dynasty manager.”

……

Zhong Shan issued a series of announcements, arranging the courtiers again, receiving the Mandate of Heaven.

After all the arrangements were made, Zhong Shan slowly put away the Investiture of the Gods. Waiting to build Imperial Heavenly Observatory, in the future, to consecrate ‘Investiture of the Gods’ as a divine book.

“Long live your majesty!”

After assigning everything, hundred officials and one million troops have once again done obeisance.

“Ok, let’s enter the imperial court.” Zhong Shan solemnly said.

Then, slowly moved down from the high platform.

Under the support of hundred officials, once again headed back to Xuan City, the center of Xuan City, near Zhong Mansion, a huge palace was constructed.

The Palace name was Longevity Palace.

“From now on, the Longevity Palace is the place where Zhong Shan’s meetings are going to be held.

In the Longevity Palace, a Nine Dragons Throne, Zhong Shan was moving slowly towards the Nine Dragons Throne step by step. Taking a deep breath and looking at it for a while, then he sat down gently. On both sides of the main hall, hundred civil and military officials were standing in two rows.

 
“Long live your majesty!” hundred officials, respectfully, were doing obeisance, even the Crown Prince, at this moment, was also respectfully doing obeisance.

“Stand up.” Zhong Shan said.

“Thanks your majesty, long live.” Hundred officials said together.

Since the scene of the celestial phenomenon and true dragon just now, all the officials have been admiring him completely.

“Lin Xiao.” Zhong Shan called out.

“Feudal official in.” Lin Xiao immediately moved forward and said.

“The Great Song Country invaded our territory, quickly lead the 1st Legion soldiers to trample down the invaders.” Zhong Shan solemnly said.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Lin Xiao said.

“Yinglan” Zhong Shan called out.

“Feudal official in.” Yinglan moved forward immediately.

“ The Great Kun collapsed, the country is not peaceful, lead the 2nd Legion soldiers to destroy the rebelling forces and thieves and suppress the four families.” Zhong Shan solemnly said.

“As you command.” Yinglan immediately complied.

Subsequently, Zhong Shan issued some orders to appease the people’s livelihood, survey the under the heavens land, and count the population. Meanwhile, Xuan City will be re-established to be the capital. Xuan City will be changed to be Xuan Capital, and Xuan Capital will be expanded. The people in the city will be relocated to the new expanded areas of the city, and all losses will be borne by Great Zheng King Dynasty. This was going on according to the new planning of the capital of Great Zheng King Dynasty.

Great Zheng has been just established, so there were a lot of things to be done. However, with Zhong Shan co-ordination, he certainly can quickly clear off everything about the original Great Kun Country.

 
“Retreat from the Imperial Court.” Wei Taizhong called out.

“Long live your majesty!”

The courtier retreated.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shan also slowly returned from Longevity Palace to Zhong Mansion.

The country has been established, Zhong Shan also summoned Zhong Tian again in the evening.

“Imperial Father.” Zhong Tian respectfully said.

“Well, you can return to the your sect and follow your master to the Great Divine State Land, you don’t need to worry about anything here. Remember, no matter what happen in the future, you are the Crown Prince of Great Zheng King Dynasty.” Zhong Shan said seriously.

“Yes, Imperial Father.” Zhong Tian immediately complied.

“Good, this is five hundred spirit stones, keep them for the time being, you have to use them in cultivation.” Zhong Shan said.

Then, he took out the spirit stones and put them on the table.

“Thanks Imperial Father.” Zhong Tian immediately nodded and complied.

“Ok, go.” Zhong Shan said.

“Yes.” Zhong Tian immediately nodded.

In Leaning Orchid Hall, Zhong Shan said softly: “An Huang, come out.”

“Yes, Master.” An Huang gently walked out from a dark place.

 
Looking at An Huang, Zhong Shan said: “Today at the Imperial Court, I set up an Imperial Guard Division, it has two divisions, one of which is called Bright Guard to monitor the under the heavens, and the other is your Dark Night Hall. From today on, Dark Night Hall will be the Imperial Guard division and will be called Shadow Guard, and you are the Shadow Guard Total Commander Envoy. ”

“Yes.” An Huang immediately complied.

“Well, mobilize some Shadow Guard and secretly protect Yinglan.” Zhong Shan said.

“Yes.” An Huang immediately complied.

Kai Yang Sect, Kai Yang Peak, Kai Yang Palace.

Tian Xingzi was sitting on the main seat, sitting on both sides were Xuan Xinzi and Gu Shuangzi. Below, sitting on the seats to the right side, Tian Ling’er whose young face was red from excitement, and the incomparably serious Nie Qingqing. Nie Qingqing was frowning slightly, as if she was not willing to come here. If it was not for Ling’er, Nie Qingqing was more likely to walk away.

Inside the main hall, there was another person, Zhong Shan, who was wearing very clean white clothes.

Zhong Shan adjusted his clothes and was paying his respect to Tian Xingzi. According to Kai Yang Sect rules, he did obeisance three times and kowtowed four times.

“Zhong Shan, pays his respect to Teacher.” Zhong Shan finally said with an incomparably solemn expression. He gently picked up a cup of tea from the side and handed it to Tian Xingzi.

Today, it was Zhong Shan’s apprenticeship ceremony. Zhong Shan is a proud person. He even opened the Great Zheng King Dynasty and became the lord of the country. But what about it? Cultivation still needs someone to guide. In Kai Yang Sect, if there was a Golden Core Stage expert to guide, Zhong Shan would be grateful. But Tian Xingzi was a Nascent Soul Stage, so he was naturally extremely satisfied.

 
Bei Qingsi was at Golden Core Stage, but Zhong Shan knew that his relationship with her could only be said to be common, or a little unusual. If he wanted her to do her best to guide, it was basically impossible. Now he have Sect Master guidance, Zhong Shan already was extremely satisfied.

After drinking the tea of the apprenticeship ceremony, Tian Xingzi smiled slightly: “According to Kai Yang Sect Rules, you are still in the Xiantian Stage, so you are still a third generation disciple, today, I will accept you as an honorary disciple, once you reach the Golden Core Stage, you will become a formal disciple.”

“Yes, Teacher.” Zhong Shan immediately complied.

Inside the main hall, everyone else was a witness.

“These two are jade symbols, I think that you have seen Ling’er use it, as a teacher, I give them to you as a gift.” Tian Xingzi took out two jade symbols and handed them to Zhong Shan.

“Thanks teacher.” Zhong Shan immediately nodded excitedly and immediately took them. One was the Ice Phoenix Jade Talisman, and the other was the Fire Phoenix Jade Talisman.

He saw Tian Ling’er use them before. Their power could threaten an early stage of Golden Core Expert. However, in the hands of Zhong Shan, their power will definitely not be only of this level of might.

“Well, since the apprenticeship ceremony has finished, I am leaving. Ling’er, let’s go.” Nie Qingqing got up immediately and didn’t give Tian Xingzi a face.

“No, maternal aunt, you leave first!” Tian Ling’er shook her head immediately and said.

Since the Thunder Scorpion egg incident, Tian Ling’er also knew, in her heart, what she wanted, so how could she leave?

Frowning and looked at Zhong Shan.

“Snort.” Nie Qingqing snorted and turned around and walked out of Kai Yang Palace.

In the main hall, regarding Nie Qingqing, Gu Shuangzi was coldly looking at her, apparently she did not welcome her. Xuan Xinzi was expressionless, no one could figure out his thoughts. Tian Ling’er, she did not seem to see anything, her mind was fixed on Zhong Shan. As for Tian Xingzi, he sighed slightly and felt a little guilty about Nie Qingqing.

“Senior Brother has a good insight, you know how to pick up talents. Less than two years ago, when Zhong Shan previously came to Kai Yang Sect with the Jade slip, no one expected that his cultivation would be so fast. Xiantian Stage Fifth Layer, among the new disciples, those who reached the Xiantian Stage Fifth Layer, aren’t many.” Xuan Xinzi suddenly said.

“This has nothing to do with me. It is the result of Zhong Shan’s own efforts. Without strong willpower, it is impossible to have this achievement.” Tian Xingzi said openly said.

“Disciple depends on luck.” Zhong Shan said immediately.

Everyone looked at Zhong Shan and they all nodded with satisfaction.

“We have to go back.” Gu Shuangzi got up at this time and said.

“Yes.” Tian Xingzi nodded.

“Goodbye.”, “Goodbye.”

Xuan Xinzi and Gu Shuangzi turned around to leave.

Tian Xingzi also nodded and went out to see off two people.

Returning to the main hall, there were only three people inside, Tian Xingzi, Zhong Shan and Tian Ling’er.

“Zhong Shan, I have inspected your body previously, Xiantian Stage Fifth Layer Peak, just a little bit and you can condense Spiritual Essence, so continue your cultivation. When you condense your Spiritual Essence, I will, according to your physique, give you the order in which the sidereal revolution acupoints are opened.” Tian Xingzi said.

“Yes.” Zhong Shan complied.

“Ling’er.” Tian Xingzi immediately called out once again.

“What is it?” Tian Ling’er looked at Tian Xingzi with some doubts.

“Going out this time, your biggest achievement is to reach the Xiantian Stage Tenth Layer, so after half a month, you will start to close up to breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.” Tian Xingzi said solemnly.

“Ah? So fast?” Tian Ling’er called out with a reluctant expression.

Zhong Shan on the side was very depressed. With this fast cultivation speed and still feeling it was quit awkward?

Tian Xingzi listened to this, and suddenly felt that there was a block in his chest, a very dumbfounded feeling filled the whole mind.

“Why? Is it not good to breakthrough to Golden Core?” Tian Xingzi asked.

“Once I close up to breakthrough to Golden Core, it will take at least a year. It’s boring to be in a small hut for a year.” Tian Ling’er said immediately. While she was talking, she was glancing at Zhong Shan from time to time.

“You have to face it sooner or later, and half a month later, the Spiritual Tide will arrive in this secret room, which is the best to help you breakthrough.” Tian Xingzi said solemnly.

“Alright.” Tian Ling’er nodded immediately.

“Teacher, does the sect have information about heavenly material and earthly treasure, panacea, unusual animals and so on materials ” Zhong Shan asked.

“Do you want to see them?” Tian Xingzi looked at Zhong Shan and said with a smile.

“Yes, the disciple wants to study them first, just in case of future encounters, it would be a pity to miss them.” Zhong Shan said.

“Ok, Ling’er, bring Zhong Shan to the Rare Treasure Pavilion.” Tian Xingzi said.

“Yes.” Tian Ling’er immediately said excitedly.

“Teacher, the disciple asks to be excused.” Zhong Shan said politely.

Then, led by Tian Ling’er, quickly crossed several mountains to reach the Rare Treasure Pavilion.

Standing on the mountain, Tian Xingzi looked at the two of them down the mountain, watching Tian Ling’er excited attitude, and looking at Zhong Shan, his eyes flashed and showed a gentle smile.

The Rare Treasure Pavilion was a large hall but located in a remote mountain valley. The mountain valley had a beautiful landscaped with a bamboo forest, a small lake that looked very quiet and very deserted.

However, just before the arrival of Zhong Shan and Tian Ling’er, in the mountain valley, there were two old men making noise.

Despite of the long distance, Zhong Shan recognized one of them at a glance.

Mountain Protector, when Zhong Shan arrived Kai Yang Sect for the first time, it was this old man who was guarding the sect entrance. The old man who seemed to be on the verge of death, made Zhong Shan feel how unfathomable this old man was.

Mountain Protector, at this moment, was playing chess with another old man, perhaps they were in dispute, no one wanted to let the other on to make a move.

“Grandpa Shan, Grandpa Zong, have you forgetting who begun a moment ago?” Tian Ling’er cheerfully ran to the two old men and smiled. Her eyes were full of teasing, but the teasing of this innocent and lively, like a porcelain doll, Tian Ling’er, couldn’t provoke anyone’s anger.

Mountain Protector immediately said: “Your Grandpa Zong is shameless, really, he can’t play chess.”

“You are the shameless one, obviously you have just fallen, and you are going to fall once more, your head is confused.” The other old man immediately argued back.

“Obviously you can’t play chess. Ling’er is still here, don’t embarrass yourself.” Mountain Protector said bluntly.

On the side, Tian Ling’er was smiling and looked at the two old men who were fighting in front of her.

“Disciple Zhong Shan, has seen two seniors.” Zhong Shan solemnly said.

The two people, together, looked at Zhong Shan.

“Are you that person who previously brought back the jade slip?” Mountain Protector looked at Zhong Shan and thought for a while then said.

“It is the disciple.” Zhong Shan said right away.

“Don‘t say disciple, disciple again. I’m just a Mountain Protector. He’s just protecting the Rare Treasure Pavilion.” Mountain Protector shook his head and said.

“Grandpa Shan, Grandpa Zong, Zhong Shan has been just accepted as an honorary disciple of my father. Oh, he let me take Zhong Shan to the Rare Treasure Pavilion to read.” Tian Ling’er said immediately.

“Oh.” The two old men, unconsciously, looked at Zhong Shan and had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

“Ok, I won’t bother you again, you continue to play chess. I will go to Rare Treasure Pavilion with Zhong Shan. Oh, yes, I think this time, it’s Grandpa Shan’s turn.” Tian Ling’er said somewhat naughtily. Then she took Zhong Shan and ran to the Rare Treasure Pavilion.

The last sentence of Tian Ling’er seemed to be like giving an Immortal Pill for Mountain Protector, so he immediately forgot Zhong Shan and Tian Ling’er.

“Hahaha, look, Ling’er has seen it. should I begin, the child’s words are the most true?” Mountain Protector became excited immediately.

“Ling’er was not here before, but is Ling’er still a child? She is a big girl now, also it’s not a bad thing, it should be my turn to begin.” The other old man called out immediately.

……

While the two was arguing, Zhong Shan and Tian Ling’er already went to the Rare Treasure Pavilion.

“Ling’er, who are these two?” Zhong Shan asked Tian Ling’er.

“You mean Grandpa Zong and Grandpa Shan? I don’t know. Anyway, the first time, I saw them, was when I was just a child. Grandpa Shan is called Mountain Protector, Grandpa Zong is called Sect Protector, and they don’t care about others. They only talk to me, am I fierce?” Tian Ling’er said proudly.

“Fierce.” Zhong Shan nodded.

Mountain Protector? Sect Protector?
