786 Forced To Leave The Cloud World (1/2)
”Looking at its aura, the strength of this Yin Dragon when it was alive was probably not only God Realm! Who knows, it might have even been a Saint Realm Dragon…”
A middle-aged man's voice suddenly sounded from beside him. The voice was clear and marked by a questioning tone.
Zong Shou turned around and noticed that it was Kong Rui. Just a few days had passed since he had eaten Kong Yao dry so he felt slightly awkward when he met this Imperial Astronomer.
”So, Country Father in Law is back!”
Although Zong Shou didn't greet him because of his identity as the Ruler, his expression was still really respectful.
He actually recognized and agreed with Kong Rui's words. He was really curious about the identity of this Yin Dragon.
Although there were many Saint Realm people who died during the Cloud Desolate Era, if one restricted it just to the Dragon Race, there were just 3-5 of them. There were even fewer who came from the same era as the Xiang King.
Out of the many God Beast Races, the Dragon Race was the strongest. They also had a complete legacy along with the human race.
All Saint Realm Experts who died during that time were recorded. However, Zong Shou had read through all the books and was still unable to find out the name of this dragon.
”I am curious about it too, I don't know which Saint Realm True Dragon this is that fell in the Cloud Dream Swamp. I remember that when Qin was established, they massacred many beasts. When the Xiang King fell, the Dragon Race started to back out of the Cloud World…”
However, although he was curious about this matter, there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it.
He cared most about the important matter. He turned and asked, ”Since you are here, is that seal completed?”
”Yes!”
Kong Rui nodded his head and passed a fist-sized Golden Seal to Zong Shou.
Zong Shou had a solemn expression as he held the Golden Seal in his hand. It looked really normal, but when he held it in his hand, it weighed a billion kilograms.
However, to him it was still as light as a feather. It wasn't because his body had the strength to lift 36 Sumeru Mountains, but that this seal sensed the King Energy. Only when it was in the hands of the Ruler of the country was it weightless.
Beneath the seal were the huge words: Gantian Mountain Ruler will be prosperous forever!”
”This seal was made from Sumeru Stone in the west of Donglin, forged in strong fire and combined with nine types of metals to copy the past Dynasty Seals. It was crafted, merging all their essences! It is able to carry the luck and fate of the country for many years. In roughly 10 years, it could become a Country Protecting Treasure! It might be far from the Ruler's Avici Throne, but it will be enough to beat Great Shang…”
Kong Rui explained. Even with how careful and respectful he was, he couldn't help but have a gleeful expression on his face.
The Kong Family had spread for 10,000 years and taken charge of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar and the position of Imperial Astronomer.
The seals of the various Emperors were pretty much all made by the Kong Family. They also had many sets of secret techniques as well as crafting formations accumulated over the years.
In these dozens of generations, Kong Rui was one of the most outstanding people to come out of the Kong Family.
Actually, this seal lacked spiritual ingredients. The nine types of Earth Grade metal were accumulated from all around. There was just a small speck of each of them.
They were also accumulated by Kongqi Sect during these thousands of years.
However, Kong Rui was able to use a Spiritual Formation to use these insignificant amounts of metal into a seal.
This was why it wasn't an exaggeration when he spoke these words.
”When I crafted this seal, I left much room for improvement. As long as we find suitable ingredients, we can merge them and they won't hurt the foundations.”
Zong Shou didn't pay much attention to him, activating his Emperor Wind Technique to inject in threads of King Path Energy.
Then, a red flame appeared above the seal.
However, at this moment, he knew that the seal was slowly becoming heavier due to the changes to the ground beneath him.
The ground five feet around him was actually sinking down.
”Gantian Mountain follows the fire virtue which is why the fire formation is the main one!”
Kong Rui said this before asking solemnly, ”Ruler, are you prepared to use Great Gan as the Country Title?”
”It is simple and saves energy!”
Zong Shou smiled. Although Gantian Mountain had established a country, they never had a Country Title.
All along, outsiders had been calling them 'Gantian Mountain'.
In the past, they were really small and could disregard that. However, be it the generals that Kong Yao led or officials like Renbo and Zhang Huai, they all eyed the fatty meat of Great Yue in the South Wind Cloud Continent.
Spanning two continents and one island, ten states of land. Even in the Central Cloud Continent, it would be considered a large country.
A Country Title needed to be a little proper such that others wouldn't laugh at them.
Zong Shou was too lazy to think of one, directly using the Gan word from Gantian Mountain. Renbo and the few cabinet elders as well as the Meeting Hall all didn't object.
”Is there anything inappropriate?”
If it couldn't work, it wasn't that he couldn't change it. He didn't fear the Heavens and didn't believe in destiny. However, there had been too many mysterious things happening recently. Kong Rui predicted so many things in advance, resulting in his reputation among the Gantian Mountain subjects to become like a sun in the sky.
If he said that the name was inauspicious, then he had to believe it.
”Why? The name is really good!”
Kong Rui smiled and then bowed slightly, ”The meaning of Gan is Heaven, is to be the leader. I will congratulate the Ruler in advance for ruling over many Cloud Worlds!”
Zong Shou gave Kong Rui a weird look and then he shook his head.
He casually tossed the seal in his hand back into the Chongzheng Hall of the Hanyan Palace.
