Logging into the Game World Early and Starting with a Royal Marriage to the Empress - Chapter 11

Xia Chen’s pupils constricted as he witnessed the strange transformation. For the past two months, he had been trying to awaken the jade seal, but it had shown no response whatsoever. Today, however, faint rays of light began to emanate from it. Xia Chen quickened his pace, crossing the vast marquisate and entering his own courtyard and room, where he closed the door behind him.

He felt a searing heat in the palm of his hand, as if something were about to grow out of his flesh and blood.

Xia Chen could distinctly sense a connection between himself and the jade seal, as if they were symbiotic, sharing the same root and origin.

The seal was filled with wisps of chaotic energy, and in a daze, Xia Chen seemed to see the interweaving of the Dao and Li, with order-shrouding divine chains shooting out.

Mysterious runes emerged on the surface of the jade seal, and Xia Chen saw countless beings prostrating themselves on the ground, with divine fire burning. At the center of a vast territory spanning hundreds of millions of miles, a towering altar was constructed from five-colored chaotic stones.

It was a mysterious and ancient ritual!

Xia Chen heard the sound of the ritual, as if it were piercing through the myriad heavens.

“Is it calling out to me?”

Xia Chen felt dizzy and disoriented, with a deafening roar causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

At that moment, the originally illusory jade seal began to slowly materialize, as if it were about to manifest in the world, seemingly descending from some unknown place into this realm.

Xia Chen involuntarily walked towards the jade seal, which was suspended in the room and emitting faint purple energy. In the next instant, he vanished from the room, sucked into the jade seal.

Outside the room, everything was calm.

The Marquis of Zhen Dong’s mansion, reputed to be filled with countless strong individuals, had not a single person aware of what had happened.

Xia Chen quickly composed himself and looked around, realizing he had arrived in an unfamiliar world.

Everything in this world was frozen, in a state of deathly silence.

Only the area near where Xia Chen stood had a hint of vitality, being a normal place.

Xia Chen found himself standing on a tall, five-colored altar, which also held some items.

Ancient fierce beasts, larger than mountains, with fresh blood still dripping, seemed to have been hunted not long ago. There was also a piece of chaotic jade marrow emitting chaotic energy, and the divine gold of the Vermilion Phoenix.

“Is that… a phoenix egg?”

Xia Chen examined the items and realized that although he had never seen them before, the information about these items suddenly emerged in his mind.

He saw an egg suspended in the void in the distance, full of vitality, as if it were undergoing a rebirth.

His heart trembled.

He also saw another egg not far from the pure-blooded phoenix egg, seemingly complementing each other.

“Dragon egg!”

Xia Chen could hardly remain calm.

Phoenixes and true dragons had long been extinct. Pure-blooded phoenixes and pure-blooded true dragons, as the most top-tier divine beasts in the world, would cause great turmoil whenever their traces were found.

In the era of spiritual energy revival, some people had quickly risen after obtaining a few drops of phoenix marrow and dragon blood.

But now, there was a phoenix egg and a dragon egg here, both seemingly still alive, which was astonishing.

“Using ancient fierce beasts, rare true materials, and even pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes as tributes, who is this ritual for? The heavens? No, it’s not!”

Xia Chen’s heart was in turmoil. Who could possibly receive such tributes?

He subconsciously thought it was a ritual for the heavens, but he immediately dismissed the idea as he looked around, because he was standing above the heavens, seated on the ninth level of the sky!

This was a vast palace complex, made of stars and spanning hundreds of millions of miles, as if suppressing the myriad heavens.

At this moment, Xia Chen seemed to have become the deity of this place, with the entire world within his field of vision, and he learned some information about this place.

He had obtained some kind of permission.

Xia Chen wanted to approach those tributes, but as soon as he got close, it seemed as if an invisible membrane blocked him. Xia Chen tried every possible way, but eventually gave up, as it seemed that all permissions had not been fully opened to him.

“Is it that I haven’t gained the recognition of this place, or is there some other reason, perhaps the unlocking conditions are not met?”

Xia Chen muttered to himself, speculating, but soon stopped worrying about it and continued to observe this mysterious world.

“Is this the Heavenly Court, an extremely powerful, heavenly dynasty that governs the myriad heavens, but seems to have fallen for some reason, with everything frozen?”

Xia Chen saw the distant frozen heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the names on the palaces.

The Lingxiao Hall, the Ministry of War, the Medicine Hall, the Hanlin Academy, the Hundred Schools of Thought Academy, the Demon-Slaying Platform, the God-Sealing Platform, the Merit Building, the Mortal-Transforming Pool…

There were all kinds of departments, filled with people emitting terrifying energy, but these palaces were all frozen.

Their lives seemed to have dimmed, but each of them had a crystal stone that emitted a special aura and was filled with the rules of the Dao being nurtured inside.

As Xia Chen was peeping, a dragon roar sounded in his ear. Xia Chen’s pupils violently contracted. He saw a golden divine dragon, spanning an unknown number of territories, rushing out from the Zixiao Hall.

The divine dragon’s head was visible, but its tail was not. However, this divine dragon seemed to be in extremely poor condition at the moment, extremely weak, with dimmed golden light, as if it were about to completely dissipate from this world.

“Fortune Dragon!”

Xia Chen suddenly realized the origin of this divine dragon.

The Fortune Dragon had a very spiritual look in its eyes. Seeing Xia Chen’s figure appear, there was a strong look of joy in its eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in the sky above Xia Chen’s head. Before Xia Chen could react, it directly plunged into Xia Chen’s forehead and merged with Xia Chen.

Xia Chen felt his body about to explode.

A huge amount of energy was injected into his body, shattering all his meridians in an instant.

But soon, this energy carried a huge amount of vitality. Xia Chen’s body, which was about to be extinguished bit by bit, quickly regenerated.

Destruction and vitality cycled repeatedly. They intertwined, opposing each other yet unified. Xia Chen’s body seemed to become a container, and now, it maintained a kind of alternative balance.

At the same time, Xia Chen’s eyes seemed to be severely stimulated. His originally faint double pupils began to fully show. His black and gold eyes seemed to have mutated.

In his bright eye sockets, two pupils appeared, one yin and one yang, as if the sun and the moon were blended.

Purple gold energy spread, and the Fortune Gold Dragon flashed by, as if it were merging with his eyes. Double pupils, an ancient anomaly, an exclusive anomaly of ancient sages and emperors.

It is said that people with double pupils all have the fate of the supreme. As long as they do not die young, they all become the rulers of the myriad heavens. And now, the double pupils in Xia Chen’s body began to awaken…

This process lasted for an unknown period of time. When Xia Chen woke up, he found that his body was forged like a diamond, and he began to become somewhat different from the inside out.

“That golden dragon is the fortune power of this broken heavenly court condensed, but now it has entered my body?”

Xia Chen’s expression was serious. The fortune dynasty can condense the fortune of the world, enfeoff officials, and officials can use the dynasty’s fortune to cultivate.

This is also the fundamental reason for the later [Immortal Dynasty War].

The world is in turmoil, and the struggle is for the fortune power.

Only the ruler of the dynasty can bear the fortune gold dragon of the country, but now, it seems that he has absorbed the fortune gold dragon?
