Chapter 1971 - 1506: Democratic Voting Rights!
Taking advantage of the time when the Azure Dragon and Yin Zhong were recovering from their injuries, Jiang Dali swiftly traveled to the Holy Dynasty using "Near and Far". After a brief chat with Wan Wan and the other two ladies touring the Holy Dynasty, he retrieved the Dragon Vein from the Demon Dragon, and returned it to Emperor Huang’s Tomb within Lingyun Cave, restoring it to the Emperor Huang’s Remains.
As the Dragon Vein returned, the previously scattered Yellow Emperor’s Luck within the entire imperial mausoleum began to converge again, as if the Qi Fortune field on the verge of collapse had found its core and backbone.
A feeling similar to the oppression before a thunderstorm was immediately brewing again. Even the collapsing Ying Long’s body and the dispersing Ancient Dragon Soul emitted faint light within the regrouping Qi Fortune, forming thin mist that moved gently and enchantingly, like living creatures.
Jiang Dali took the opportunity to use the power of will to search the ruins for all fragments of Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
With the return of the Dragon Vein, Yellow Emperor’s Luck began to reunite, and Xuanyuan Divine Sword, which had been shattered into hundreds of fragments, started to become active again. It was easily found and, under Jiang Dali’s guidance of will, gathered together into the shape of a broken sword.
Strands of intangible yet perceivable Yellow Emperor’s Luck lingered between each fragment of the Divine Sword, causing the whole sword to radiate brilliance, with gaps being drawn by the currents of Luck as if they were meant to self-heal.
This sight was beyond the expectations of both Jiang Dali and Yin Zhong.
"As expected of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, it seems this sword is already connected with the Yellow Emperor’s Qi. As long as Yellow Emperor’s Luck persists, this sword won’t be damaged. It seems that soon, it will heal itself and perhaps become even stronger. This is truly a Qi Fortune Divine Weapon!"
Yin Zhong remarked with emotion, feeling the Netherworld Treasure Sword within him showing awe and resistance towards the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, as if encountering an emperor in court, no matter how great an official’s authority, they must lower their head and kneel before the Emperor.
"I originally planned to gather all the swordsmith masters of Divine Iron City, and also invite Lord Yin to commence a grand sword casting to reforge the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. But now, it seems it’s unnecessary."
Jiang Dali said with a smile, manipulating his will to guide the Xuanyuan Divine Sword to fly to the ground in front of Emperor Huang’s remains.
Yin Zhong, having lived for over six hundred years, was not only a member of the Tong Family but also a renowned owner of the Imperial Sword Manor. He even transformed into a swordsmith master after a long period of amnesia in the past, possessing extremely high swordsmith standards, considered a rare and versatile expert.
"Master Jiang holds me in such high regard. In the future, as long as there’s any invitation for sword casting at Divine Iron City, I’ll use these old bones where they are most needed."
Yin Zhong cheerfully responded politely.
He hadn’t been involved in sword casting for many years, and no one in the Martial World could persuade him to forge swords, but he was willing to give face for Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali nodded slightly, just then, a prompt appeared on his panel.
"You returned the Dragon Vein, regrouping the near-disintegrating Yellow Emperor’s Luck, giving Xuanyuan Divine Sword hope for restoration. You have triggered the quest ’Yellow Emperor’s Temple to Transmit Spirit’.
Quest content: The Yellow Emperor, son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan. If vassals were disobedient, he would campaign against them, never settled in peace. With auspicious soil virtues, he was titled Yellow Emperor. Yellow Emperor, leader of the Ancient Tribal Alliance, head of the Five Emperors. Worshipped as the ’First Ancestor of Civilization’.
People in later generations often call themselves descendants of Yanhuang, with Dragon Blood of the Yellow Emperor flowing in their veins. However, the world has changed for long, and the ancient Qi line has severed. Many people have forgotten the beauty of the Yellow Emperor’s virtue of kindness. Now, you are invited to rebuild the Dragon Body of the Yellow Emperor and construct Yellow Emperor Temples for people to admire and reflect upon, promoting the spirit and virtues of Zhonghua Yanhuang.
Quest Requirement: [Temple]: Build Yellow Emperor Temples in more than three vassal states where they don’t yet exist, rebuild Yellow Emperor’s Dragon Body for people to admire and reflect upon. Current completion: (0/3)
Quest Reward: Blessing of Yellow Emperor’s Luck!
Note: Rebuilding the Ancient Emperor Temple might be considered rebellious for some vassal states, if handled carelessly, could lead to a major crime and implicate nine clans, stay cautious!
Accept?
"Returning the Dragon Vein triggered this kind of Fortune quest... It must have been triggered after meeting certain conditions, such as strength, and... the trace of Yellow Emperor’s aura I possess. Ordinary players wouldn’t be able to accept it even if they had the Dragon Vein."
Jiang Dali contemplated the quest content and chose to accept it.
An ancient Yellow Emperor’s Luck offering itself should not be refused.
To others, even those with Returning to Truth Realm strength, this quest might be extremely difficult.
After all, throughout history, the biggest taboo is worshiping the previous dynasties’ emperors. Although the Yellow Emperor is different from any national emperor, being the ancestor of all people during ancient times, revered as the first emperor for five thousand years, even more noble than Qin Shi Huang, the self-proclaimed eternal emperor.
But for countries like Yuan Country and Mongolia, stemming from nomadic origins, they still don’t have the practice of worshiping Yellow Emperor. They only worship the Eternal Heaven, and Divine Martial Country doesn’t have this concept.
However, Jiang Dali thought, with his current energy and influence in the vassal states, this wouldn’t be a problem. The task wouldn’t even require his direct involvement; he could delegate it to Wen Chouchou and others for proper handling.
After settling the Dragon Vein, Jiang Dali personally took action with Yin Zhong to restore the almost ruined Emperor Huang’s Mausoleum.
After busy work, a day had passed.
Once the injuries of the Azure Dragon and Yin Zhong stabilized completely, Jiang Dali immediately bid farewell to Yin Zhong, set off, and escorted the Azure Dragon to the Beast Taming House in the Holy Dynasty.
