Eternal Calendar Year 49, December 28th.
The morning bell rang in the Imperial Palace.
A cloud ladder descended from the sky, connecting to the Imperial Palace.
"The court meeting has begun. All officials, please present yourselves."
A sharp voice pierced the sky in front of the Skyward Palace. This meant that the last court meeting of Da Yi in the 49th year of the Eternal Calendar, which was also the last court meeting of the Great Yi Dynasty in the Imperial Dynasty, had officially begun.
This time, the number of officials attending was not small. Not only the officials in the Imperial Capital, but also the City Lords of various Immortal Cities in Da Yi. They came from all directions. The end of the year was the time to report on their duties. At the same time, it was also the time to participate in the annual immortal dishes. This was a grand event that no City Lord was willing to miss.
Every year, the last court meeting was always the most lively.
And today, it was even more so. After the announcement that Da Yi was about to be promoted, all the City Lords were excited. This time, they were not only going to participate in the immortal dishes, but they were also going to take this opportunity to learn about the final promotion.
Therefore, a large number of officials could be seen on the cloud ladder, like a long dragon stepping into the Skyward Palace.
The space inside the Skyward Palace was huge, and there was a cave inside. No matter how many people went in, it could still accommodate them. It would not feel crowded at all.
"Greetings, Emperor!!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!!"
The officials presented themselves and paid their respects to the person above.
"My beloved officials, please rise."
Yi Tianxing sat on the Dragon Throne, and beside him was Cai Yan. Looking at the tens of thousands of officials in the palace, he could not help but feel heroic. He nodded and reached out to help them up.
Cai Yan's eyes also flashed with a smile.
These were the foundation of Da Yi. The more people there were, the more powerful Da Yi was. Here, most of them were Immortal City Lords, in charge of a region. It could be said that every one of them was a true talent.
"Dear ministers, this is the last court meeting of the year. At the same time, it will also be the last court meeting of the Great Yi Dynasty in the Emperor Dynasty. There are some things that must be said." Yi Tianxing was the first to speak, "After the Lantern Festival next year, I, Da Yi, will announce to the world that I will ascend to the Saint Court realm. I wonder what my beloved ministers think? "
As he spoke, his gaze naturally swept across the faces of the officials in the hall.
"Emperor, it is a great thing for me, Da Yi, to be able to ascend to the Holy Heavenly Court Realm. However, I, Da Yi, am the first person to ascend to the Holy Heavenly Court Realm. In the past, when I ascended to the Holy Heavenly Court Realm, there were all sorts of calamities. If it wasn't natural disasters, then it would be man-made disasters. It was better to prepare early. Regardless of whether it will happen or not, there is no harm in being prepared. "Xun Yu took a step forward and said.
There were many people who failed at the last moment when they were about to succeed. There were countless examples like this, so they naturally had to be vigilant. Anything could happen during Da Yi's ascension. Any kind of calamity wouldn't be surprising. He was the forerunner of the Emperor Dynasty.
The scene of the Demon Eye appearing in the void was still vivid in everyone's mind. They naturally understood that Da Yi had been targeted by some powerful figures. There were even hidden forces that were eyeing him covetously from the outside. As long as there was the slightest flaw, they wouldn't mind hitting him when he was down.
"That's right. I think that during the ascension, all the armies should be on the highest alert. Prepare to go out to battle at any time. Also, all the regular armies should be at their posts. The Great Wall Guards should all be in position. The Six Doors and the Palace of Natural Disaster should all be on guard, just in case."
Zhuge Liang also said.
"Mm, very good. Places that need to be guarded must be guarded. This time, when I spread the news of the ascension, I originally had the intention of letting all the monsters hiding in the dark jump out. Instead of spending time and effort to find them, why not let them jump out themselves. How can I, Da Yi, ascend without any sacrifices? "
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
As long as he was willing, he could completely cover up the news of his ascension. Only when he ascended would people know about it. If that was the case, it would indeed reduce a lot of danger, and the hidden enemies wouldn't be able to prepare in time. However, that wasn't what he wanted. Ascending to the Saint Palace was just his goal. If he could kill some enemies that were courting death during this process, it wouldn't be a bad thing. It would clear the path for his future expansion.
He wanted to see how many forces outside of Da Yi would jump out.
If they wanted to target Da Yi, the day of his ascension would be their best chance. Otherwise, if they missed it, they wouldn't be able to find such a good opportunity again.
The officials in the palace were also secretly shocked. They could clearly feel the confidence coming from Yi Tianxing. They also knew that there was no way to turn this matter around. In other words, he would definitely encounter obstructions during his ascension.
"No matter who it is, come at me. I, Da Yi, am never afraid of any challenge."
Qi Jiguang said resolutely.
Very quickly, the various arrangements for the promotion were decided in the morning assembly. The things that needed to be prepared were also planned out immediately.
Following that, the various tasks of the year were summarized. The assessment of the various Celestial City Lords was also completed. Those with outstanding contributions were rewarded. As for those with slightly weaker contributions, they were pointed out in court and discussed ways to solve their problems. Many problems were easily solved by the wisdom of the courtiers. For many City Lords, this was undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
Fortunately, all the immortal cities were already on the right track, and there was nothing particularly bad.
After all, with Da Yi's current resources and various foundations, it could allow any immortal city to grow rapidly. It would be difficult for it not to flourish. As long as one found the right direction, one could find the true foundation of one's immortal city. You can develop quickly. Therefore, a qualified city lord naturally had to find the specialties of his immortal city. That was the only way to get rich quickly and grow stronger.
The court meeting lasted from the morning to the afternoon before it finally came to an end.
.....
After the court meeting, Da Yi began to prepare for the immortal dishes on New Year's Eve. As the most important event of Da Yi, the immortal dishes could not be sloppy. Outside Da Yi territory, a strange change was happening.
Outside Da Yi, there were the Caribbean Sea Region, the Bohai Sea Region, the Demon Sea Region, and the Dead Sea Region. The four major regions surrounded the Immensity Sea Region.
At this moment, in a mysterious area in the Caribbean Sea Region, one could see that there was a huge land in this area. This land seemed to be the most perfect shelter. However, the strange thing was that this island looked very barren. There were rocks everywhere, and it looked like there was no sign of human habitation. There was not even a bird, let alone a human. The surrounding silence was frightening.
Outside of the island, there was a huge layer of fog. This fog was different from the normal fog of the Caribbean Sea. It was thicker, and contained a completely different power. Divine sense could not penetrate it, and once it entered, one would not even be able to tell the direction.
No matter how one looked at it, this was a barren island. It was not worth paying attention to. Even if someone barged in, they would turn around and leave without hesitation.
However, if someone really came in and looked carefully, they would find something different.
They could see that the sea around the island was strange and dazzling. There were lifelike images. There were ships, people, aliens, buildings, and all sorts of other scenes. However, these images were all inverted. They were all reflected on the surface of the sea. This situation was even stranger than a mirage. Ordinary people would be scared to death if they saw this.
At this moment, there seemed to be another space under the island. If someone went in, they would find that there was a different scene under the island. There were many mountains, rivers, grass, and trees.
This island was called Mirage Dragon Island. According to legend, it was formed after a Mirage Dragon died. There were two sides to it. Normally, one could only see a barren scene. However, on the opposite side, there was a flourishing scene full of vitality. This strange situation did not make sense at all, but it still existed.
This island was actually the base of the Pirate Alliance.
The Pirate Alliance was established on it.
On the opposite side, one could see that there were many ports built outside the island, and there were a large number of pirate ships docked at the ports. There were countless pirate ships of all sizes, and the number of pirate flags hanging on them was too many to count. Numerous pirates entered and left the various harbors, making lively shouts from the ships.
Some of them were fighting, while others were gambling. Some carried prostitutes into their cabins, doing their best to release the energy that they had accumulated in their bodies.
They drank wine and ate meat.
It was a lively scene everywhere.
On the island, if one looked closely, this island looked like a huge warship. Of course, it was only similar in shape. In the center was a huge palace. That was the palace where the Pirate Emperor lived.
At this moment, a large number of pirate captains were gathered in the palace. Among them were the ten legendary Pirate Kings. They were having an intense discussion about something in the palace.
Smack!
"In my opinion, we should go and rob the Blue Moon Empire this time. That's a big fat piece of meat. Now that we have so many pirates gathered together, there are hundreds of millions of them. No matter how strong the Blue Moon Empire is, we'll still bite off a piece of meat."
A rough-looking man with a pitch-black braid on his chin spoke decisively with a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
"Blackbeard is right. The Blue Moon Empire is a fortune. As long as we can rob it, we'll all be able to eat our fill. If word gets out, it'll be able to intimidate those disobedient guys around us. "
A Pirate King wearing an iron mask said loudly.
Obviously, he had been thinking about the Blue Moon Empire for a long time.
"I think we should go find the Immortal Spring. That's a legendary treasure. As long as we find the Immortal Spring, everyone will be able to live forever and become even more powerful. It's an endless source of wealth that can provide us with countless benefits."
A captain who looked somewhat unreliable said.
