Chapter 39: Qin Yuan Chun — Only I Am The Most Supreme!
Qin Yuan Chun — Only I am The Most Supreme!
The t.i.tle itself was filled with a domineering air!
The surrounding audience took in a gasp of cold air. Even Ye Feihong felt his heart rate increase as he held his breath, antic.i.p.ating the words that Hong Xiaobao would recite.
Hong Xiaobao calmed himself, took up his brush and swiftly finished the words. Zuo s.h.i.+xian waited for the stanza to finish and started reciting —
“Majestic mountains and rivers, vibrant and gorgeous, radiating an air of boundless peace.” After the first sentence, the True Qi around Zuo s.h.i.+xian’s body exploded and the whole of the Xuan Yang Pavilion turned into a majestic drawing of mountains and rivers.
“Like a raging horse running to the horizon, it started conquering the islands, humiliating Chijing City and trampling on the pride of the empire.” When the second sentence was recited, the True Qi of Zuo s.h.i.+xian shook again as the change of dynasties on a distant island could be seen. The fires of war at the Yunyang Commandery of the Chiyun Empire that was situated near the coast of the sea could be seen. It depicted the its invasion by the Four Great Demonic Caverns. Swiftly, the image around them changed again and showed the interior of the Chiyun Palace. It showed the scene of Ye Feihong coming to the palace to force the emperor to abdicate.
Hong Xiaobao was super excited and quickly wrote down the third and fourth lines on the paper.
“With the previous grievance unsatisfied, another cause for hatred was born. The raging desire to swing the blade was strong. The roar of three armies scared the jester, with none daring to utter any comment.” Millions of soldiers instantly appeared filled with killing intent towards the invading enemies from the demonic sects. The roars of the soldiers instantly caused the skies to change!
However, halfway through the stanza, Zuo s.h.i.+xian felt the True Qi getting slightly unpredictable and heightened his caution before taking in a deep breath and calming his heart.
The whole of the pavilion was deathly quiet.
At that moment, the two atop the tree, Qingqing and Jian Pu, also held their breaths, eagerly waiting for the next half of the stanza.
Hong Xiaobao raised his brush, furrowed his brows, and wrote on!
“Thousands of sails of the invading s.h.i.+ps could be seen from afar, striking fear into the protectors of the islands.” Zuo s.h.i.+xian recited in a loud voice after the pause. The image now showed the three armies slaughtering away at the demons, with blood flowing everywhere it could fill up a whole river.
“In the eyes of Yuanjing the founding emperor was a view filled with dark clouds and snow. Tianyun of the Eternal Harmony has also faded like smoke in front of one’s eyes.” The founding emperor of the Chiyun Empire referred to Hong Yuanjing, the favored son of the heavens. Tianyun of the Eternal Harmony referred to the second Chiyun Emperor Hong Tianyun, who managed to create a lasting era of peace and bliss. These were the stories of the ancient emperors.
With the two stanzas completed, the people at the scene let out a cold breath.
What Hong Xiaobao’s words were trying to say was the glorious times of old at the empire had already pa.s.sed and did not influence the present of the empire much.
How will he complete the poem?
“It seems that the most interesting part is about to come,” sighed Qingqing. “It seems that Hong Xiaobao is quite an ambitious one.”
“I agree. I really look forward to seeing what he has to say in the next stanzas,” nodded Jian Pu in agreement.
Hong Xiaobao took the time it required for an incense stick to burn up before finally putting his brush down. The last two stanzas were completed.
“Striving your hardest and be respected by the domain with visits from all directions covered in smiles! The blood of the nation has molded the rule of Chiyun into a form that will prosper just as much as the heavens!”
The poem was completed.
