The colorful peonies bloomed in an instant, and the entire imperial capital was filled with the fragrance of flowers at this moment.
Looking down from the sky, as long as there was land in the city, peonies would bloom. There were many kinds of peonies, and there were even many rare treasures.
At the same time, the mark of a peony flower appeared on the chests of many cultivators in the city and even outside the city. When they looked at the alchemist in the sky, they showed a respectful and devout expression, as if they had seen a real immortal. They almost knelt on the ground.
An inexplicable aura spread throughout the entire imperial capital with the blooming of these peonies. It then spread in all directions, covering a larger area than the Nine-Emperor Cauldron Formation.
"This is …"
At the moment when the peonies bloomed, the faces of the Tribulation Realm cultivators, who had been calmly watching the show, finally changed.
They were not afraid of the Nine-Emperor Cauldron Formation, but the moment the peonies bloomed, the aura that spread out made them feel danger.
At this moment, the surrounding world seemed to have changed. Everything around them was different, as if the sky and earth had changed, giving them a very strange illusion.
They were not unfamiliar with this feeling, because this was what Hayashikawa had let them experience before!
Back in the ninja world, Hayashikawa changed the laws of the ninja world, making all the Tribulation Realm cultivators lose their ability to control the laws, which greatly reduced their strength. And now, the Peony Alchemist was using the same method.
However, compared to Hayashikawa, the alchemist's method was much weaker.
This was because Hayashikawa's ninja world was completely independent of the cultivation world. The laws there were also completing their own growth because of the Ultimate Grass, which was very different from the cultivation world. Once Hayashikawa cut off the connection with the cultivation world, the laws in the ninja world would be completely different from the outside world, which meant that the Tribulation Realm cultivators would be forcibly suppressed to the Mahayana Realm.
However, in the imperial capital, the alchemist's method only covered a part of the laws, which weakened the control of the laws a lot. This kind of weakening did not make the Tribulation Realm cultivators completely lose control of the laws, but only limited their ability.
Even so, it was enough to shock the Tribulation Passing Stage cultivators.
"What are you doing?" Shang Yuan Venerable asked with an ashen face.
Ever since the Peony Alchemist had made her move, Lu Xuan had felt that more than half of the power of law around them had been covered. Under such circumstances, their strength had been reduced by at least twenty to thirty percent.
More importantly, this space had already been sealed!
The Peony Alchemist had used some unknown method to prevent Tribulation Transcendence cultivators from using the laws of space. This meant that even Tribulation Transcendence cultivators couldn't tear through space and leave this place.
They had underestimated the Peony Alchemist. They hadn't expected him to make such a move at this time.
"You dare to seal this space so brazenly. Do you really think that the entire World of Cultivation belongs to you?" Mu Yunshu's Sword Qi erupted. He could no longer hold it in.
When the Nakagawa Empire had used the Nine-Emperor Cauldron Formation to seal the space, the First-class Cultivation Forces had been able to remain indifferent because they had a way to break the seal. However, now that the Peony Flower had bloomed, they could no longer remain uninvolved.
"Who is this Peony Alchemist to be able to seal off part of the laws of space?" Lin An's expression turned grave.
They had thought that there was something fishy about the Peony Alchemist and had even investigated him. Unfortunately, they hadn't found any useful information. They hadn't expected that the Peony Alchemist would be able to seal off half of the power of law that the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators relied on. With such a method, this person was definitely the biggest obstacle on their path to destroying the Nakagawa Empire.
"That's a little too much!" A dark crack flitted across the sky. A black-clothed man could be vaguely seen floating there.
Although they couldn't see clearly who it was, they could guess who it was for someone to speak at this time.
It was the head of the Assassin League's Dark Council, Dark Mantle!
But this time, Dark Mantle hadn't appeared of his own accord. After the Peony Flower bloomed, the laws of space had changed and forced him out of the crack. This was absolutely impossible under normal circumstances.
"Prince Jin, I don't object to your imperial family adding a new ritual, but I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to do so now." A voice came from a white palace floating in the sky. It was filled with suppressed anger.
This was the palace of the Dayin Tower.
Because of his special status, the Dayin Tower's Tribulation Transcendence cultivators wouldn't appear in front of the public. Therefore, even when he came to the Nakagawa Empire's millennium celebration, he stayed in this special palace with no intention of coming out.
But the current situation made it clear that he couldn't sit still anymore.
"I'm just planting some flowers to liven things up. Why are you all so nervous?" The Peony Alchemist chuckled.
The spell had already been cast. Even if the people present noticed the problem, it was too late to do anything about it.
"Is it really just to liven things up? Then I'd like to liven things up too! "Shangguan Hong's expression was ugly. He suddenly unleashed his Tribulation Transcendence cultivation and was about to attack.
"Elder Shangguan, please wait. The Peony Flower is the national flower of the Nakagawa Empire. Its status is below that of the Red Spider Lily. I was the one who asked the State Preceptor to plant these flowers. After all, we need something different for this millennium celebration!" The Sage of Nakagawa, who had been worshipping their ancestors, suddenly spoke up.
"The laws here have been weakened, and you say it's just to liven things up? Then what's with the Peony Flower on those people's chests? "Mu Yunshu asked coldly.
Originally, they all thought that the Nakagawa Empire would only make their move after the ceremony. They didn't expect that they would choose to make their move in front of everyone.
Sage Nakagawa looked at the crowd. After a moment of silence, his gaze fell on the Peony Alchemist. After seeing the Peony Alchemist nod slightly, Sage Nakagawa chuckled softly. "Well, I'll have to say it sooner or later anyway. There's no harm in saying it now."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's heart skipped a beat. They knew that the highlight of the day was likely to be coming.
The smile on Sage Nakagawa's face disappeared. He stood with his hands behind his back. His entire body exuded the terrifying aura of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator.
Buzz!
The Nine-Emperor Cauldron trembled slightly. A black light swept out and instantly flew into Sage Nakagawa's palm.
At this time, the cultivation of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, supported by the luck of the Empire of Nakagawa, completely permeated the air. The majesty of an emperor filled the air, causing Sage Nakagawa's aura to reach its peak in an instant. It was as if a true immortal had descended.
