To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck-Chapter 419 - 219: The Dream of the King

Chapter 419: Chapter 219: The Dream of the King

Translator: 549690339

On the 7th year of Hongdao, the 11th month, and the 13th day, the city of Changsha held the provincial examination. This time, a thousand new Juren candidates and more than a hundred previous candidates participated in the examination, which eventually decided the top 100 Jinshi.

Three days later, these Jinshi candidates participated in the palace examination and the top three leaders were selected.

At this point, after the three rounds of the county, provincial, and palace examinations, more than a thousand new Jinshi candidates were successively granted official positions, filling the vacancies in local and central government.

After this examination and appointment, Lu Yuan’s Changsha government became recognized as the legitimate regime by local scholars, firmly establishing its foundation.

In terms of cultivation, it was just that when he practiced Taiping Dao Book, his gathered Qi Luck skyrocketed again.

In just a few days, it kept rising, adding nearly 20% more than before.

This abundant Qi Luck made Lu Yuan’s cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book much faster than before.

In just half a month, he had achieved minor success in his cultivation.

Inside the royal palace’s main hall.

Lu Yuan sat alone on a high seat, with his knees placed on the couch and both hands forming hand seals, closing his eyes and cultivating.

Silently around his body, a mysterious and pure Qi descended, transforming into colorful lights that drifted and lingered around him.

In this dreamlike state, Lu Yuan followed the breathing method of refining Qi in the Taiping Dao Book. With each inhalation and exhalation, he gathered the colorful lights, absorbing them into his nose and mouth.

After swallowing and breathing a few times, when the descending pure Qi was completely refined, the aura around him dispersed, and Lu Yuan’s body contained a bit more cultivation strength.

Still maintaining a calm breath, after refining his cultivation strength, Lu Yuan adjusted his breath a few times before slowly opening his eyes. A hint of joy appeared on his face as he secretly pondered:

“In recent days, as the country’s political affairs have been sorted out and the people have gathered, the country’s prosperity has increased and my cultivation has become increasingly smoother. In just half a month, my cultivation gains have been stronger than in the previous two or three months.

I heard that during the time of the ancient Three Emperors, they ruled with benevolence, the people of all races were referred to as wise, and millions of people submitted. Their military prowess was also unmatched, and the barbarians in the Nine Provinces and Ten Domains feared them.

As a result, the Three Emperors had a peaceful rule in both Heaven and Earth. Numerous Immortals paid homage, gods respected them, and the seas and people acknowledged their rule. Their power was invincible.

I previously thought that the historical records and ancient Immortal’s stories were exaggerated.

But now, after personally cultivating the Qi Luck Dao, I realized that the rumors might not be false, and the Three Emperors might indeed have ruled over the Immortals with their influence reaching the realm of the underworld, becoming the emperors of the Three Realms.”

At this point, Lu Yuan ruled only one province, controlling a territory of a thousand miles and a population of barely two million people.

However, even so, when he practiced Taiping Dao Book and benefitted from Qi Luck, his cultivation progress was very fast.

The ancient Three Emperors ruled over the Nine Provinces and controlled vast land and billions of people.

The prestige and Qi Luck they amassed were millions of times greater than Lu Yuan’s.

With such Qi Luck, their cultivation progress must have been terrifying, as one could imagine.

“However, although the Three Emperors were awe-inspiring and dominating, various records and legends all indicate that their lifespans were not long, with none of them living more than a thousand years.

In the ancient times, when immortals were abundant and many of them lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the Three Emperors’ lifespans were considered short.

After all, once a cultivator achieves the Five Qi Towards Primordial, they can have a lifespan of 800 years.

Once they condense the flower on the top of their head, they can become True Persons, join the ranks of the Immortals, and live freely for three thousand years.

Even though the Three Emperors had such power to subdue Immortals, in terms of lifespan, they were nothing more than Five Qi Towards Primordial cultivators who had not yet become Immortals.”

Could it be that the reason for their short lifespans was due to cultivating Fortune Dao, which resulted in lifespans being affected and hampered, causing them to leave the world prematurely?”

As Lu Yuan thought about the biggest drawback of cultivating Qi Luck Dao, his brows furrowed.

With the deepening of his cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book, his understanding of Qi Luck Dao had become increasingly profound in recent days.

Although his cultivation time was still short, Lu Yuan gradually realized that the so-called drawback of the Taiping Dao Book might not be due to incomplete techniques, but because the Qi Luck Dao was inherently flawed and difficult to achieve longevity. freewebnoveℓ.com

After all, cultivating this Dao was so much faster than other ordinary Qi cultivators. It would be impossible for Heaven to favor someone so much.

If benefits are provided on one side, disasters and prices will naturally come with the other side in order to maintain the balance of Heaven and Earth.

Obviously, the price to be paid for cultivating Qi Luck Dao is the cultivator’s lifespan.

That’s why those who practiced the Taiping Dao Book previously had great power and strength at the beginning, but after reaching their peak, they could not survive for more than two months. That was the price they paid.

“Moreover, unlike those who practiced the Taiping Dao Book before, I am now the ruler of a province, and I have gone through the steps of establishing the system, ascending the throne, and conducting the imperial examinations.

Through this process, the Qi Luck and popular support I have gathered far surpasses those Grass Head Kings supported by the Dan Ding Path before.

The more Qi Luck I have gathered, the stronger the backlash will be.

Even though I have only been cultivating the Taiping Dao Book for twenty days, my lost lifespan during this short period, under the backlash of the Qi Luck from the people, is estimated to be no less than two years. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Almost every ten days or so, I lose about a year of my lifespan.

At this rate, even if I am an Inborn Grandmaster, after cultivating the Taiping Dao Book, my maximum lifespan will be merely about three more years.”
