Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 858 - 853: Ascension to the Grand World

"Minister Yu Qian, paying respects to Your Majesty!"

In just a few steps, Yu Qian arrived before Qin Wudao, respectfully saluting.

"It’s actually him!"

In the crowd, Wang Yangming gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar Yu Qian, slightly lost in thought.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian occupies an important segment. If it weren’t for him stepping forward in times of national crisis, advocating ’State over Sovereign’, the weighty Ming history would be significantly lighter.

"Beloved minister, please rise!"

Qin Wudao gestured with both hands, smiling as he spoke.

Name: Yu Qian!

Cultivation Level: Early Luo Tianxian Stage!

Cultivation Technique: "Righteous Qi Technique"!

Divine Skills: Steadfast Defense, Loyalty and Righteousness, Radiance of Sun and Moon, Unsoiled by Wealth or Fame...

Profile: Minister of the Ming Dynasty, national hero, eventually rose to Junior Guardian, organized the defense of the capital, reformed military systems, known as the ’Prime Minister who Saves the Times’, tragically wronged and died, and his entire family exterminated!

"Everyone, return to court for deliberations!"

After Yu Qian stood up, Qin Wudao loudly ordered.

Today was undoubtedly bountiful; besides Bai Qi achieving a breakthrough to Great Luo Golden Immortal, we have also gained a capable minister for governance during these turbulent times.

Half an hour later, the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty gathered in the court, each face filled with smiles, yet a deep-seated anticipation glowed in their eyes.

They already knew of Bai Qi’s breakthrough. Does this mean that the Qin Dynasty is about to ascend to the Great Thousand World?

The Great Thousand World, the pinnacle of the myriad realms!

Positioned at the second layer of the pyramid.

Possessing a better cultivation environment, more resources, and faster cultivation speeds.

Additionally, the geographical advantage and influence of the Qin Heavenly Court could be greatly enhanced, enabling cooperation with human forces to guard against the myriad clans of the heavens, reducing the fear of awakening to find enemies at the gates!

And so forth.

In summary, ascending to the Great Thousand World offers many advantages.

Of course, benefits come with drawbacks. After ascending to the Great Thousand World, they will face the myriad clans of the heavens directly.

By then, the myriad clans of the heavens can deal with the Qin Heavenly Court without reservations.

And if they do not ascend?

The two sides would remain in different dimensions, with the myriad clans of the heavens restrained by the will of the heavens, unable to dispatch peak battle power against the Qin Dynasty.

Regardless of Qin Wudao or the officials, their opinions were surprisingly unanimous; all supported ascending to the Great Thousand World.

In the cultivation world, as with walking upstream, one must advance or be swept back.

No opportunity for development should be missed.

"Beloved ministers, after the Nine Provinces Realm ascends to the Great Thousand World, who should remain to guard the territories of the Middle Thousand World?"

Qin Wudao sat high on the imperial throne, his face indistinct and gaze majestic, overlooking the ministers as he loudly inquired.

A Daluo Golden Immortal can only take one world along in ascension.

As of now, the Qin Dynasty’s territory is vast, spanning over twenty starfields and thousands of light-years. Such a vast domain cannot be abandoned.

After the Nine Provinces Realm ascends, someone must stay behind to guard these territories.

The nation’s land must not be lost.

"This..."

Upon hearing of the need to stay, the ministers glanced at each other, not immediately responding.

The Great Thousand World is a place all martial artists dream of.

Who would want to stay behind!

Moreover, remaining in the Middle Thousand World means being severed from the core of power, put harshly, like exile.

On the imperial throne, Qin Wudao waited for a while, but no one stepped forward. His gaze shifted to the civil officials, his expression slightly dimmed, feeling somewhat displeased.

"We can wait no longer!"

Zhuge Liang surveyed the surroundings; seeing no one speak, he moved to the center of the hall, saluting as he declared, "Your Majesty, this minister is willing to stay!"

He clearly understood the consequences of staying behind.

But as the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, the foremost among officials, if others can retreat, he cannot. He must take the lead.

"Your Majesty, this minister is also willing to stay!"

Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yangming, Gui Guzi, and other civil officials, feeling pricked by a thorn in their back, hurriedly stepped forward to declare.

What a joke.

How could the Prime Minister possibly remain behind?

If they continued acting indifferent, they would certainly incur the King’s displeasure. At that moment, they would be in danger.

Let it be asked, when a minister displeases the sovereign, can there be a good outcome?

"Beloved ministers, your willingness to forsake personal interests and choose to stay brings me comfort!"

Qin Wudao’s face softened, not overly angered.

After all, who wouldn’t want to go to the Great Thousand World?

The officials lowered their heads, faces filled with shame.

"However, I already have someone in mind; you may all withdraw!"

Qin Wudao waved his hand and said, "Someone, summon Yu Qian to offer advice!"

Amongst the court, those capable ministers managing over twenty starfields were truly meritorious, so leaving them in the Middle Thousand World was indeed unreasonable.

The best solution was to find a competent official but lacking significant achievements.

Yu Qian is the best choice!

Zhuge Liang, Dong Zhongshu, and others exchanged complex glances and retreated to their places.

Two minutes later, Yu Qian climbed the ninety-nine steps, entered the court, and stood at the center of the power-symbolizing hall, respectfully saluting.

"Beloved minister Yu, as the Nine Provinces Realm soon ascends, I intend for you to stay, assuming the role of Governor of the Middle Thousand World. You will manage more than twenty starfields and hold supreme military and political authority. What do you think?"

Qin Wudao inquired.

The ministers were slightly stunned; to hold supreme military and political authority is a grand power indeed!

"This minister is willing!"

Yu Qian, also inwardly shocked, had not expected to manage over twenty starfields despite having no apparent merit and possessing the highest military and political power.

For him, this is akin to a fish leaping over the dragon gate!

"Decree, appoint Yu Qian as Governor, second rank, in charge of military and political authority!"

Qin Wudao ordered immediately.

Second rank.

This also inspired envy among many court officials.

"This minister accepts the decree!"

Yu Qian respectfully saluted.

As he spoke, a dense fortune descended from the heavens, falling upon him, making his aura more long-lasting and powerful.

"Proceed, prepare for the ascent, everyone!"

"Court dismissed!"

With that, Qin Wudao stood up, turned, and departed.

"Let’s go too!"

Li Yuanba stretched lazily, walking away, shaking his head.

Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, and Xiang Yu, along with other generals, also left without any intent to involve themselves in political affairs.

Only Wang Jian remained, not because he didn’t want to leave, but couldn’t—after all, he held the role of Minister of War.

"Alas! We’ve disappointed His Majesty this time!" Xiao He sighed worriedly.

"If His Majesty had directly ordered, I would have stayed without complaint. But when His Majesty allowed us to choose, I hesitated; it really shouldn’t have happened!" an official lamented.

"Let it go, let’s take it as a warning to us!"

"Let’s leave it at that and properly arrange for the ascent!"

Zhuge Liang steered the conversation back on track.

Everyone nodded, each offering their suggestions and discussions.

...

The next day.

Bai Qi stood in the starry sky, heroic with flowing black hair, the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal fully released, surging towards the star dome, drawing out the guiding light.

At the end of the star dome, golden light spread across the sky, forming a massive vortex.

The vortex was enormous, nearly covering the Fifth Heaven.

A towering celestial gate stood firm, exuding radiant celestial light, dragons and phoenixes soaring, myriad beasts galloping, Immortals presenting homage, gods and demons roaring, creating countless phenomena that startled innumerable mighty beings.

They simultaneously raised their heads, gazing towards the direction of the Qin Heavenly Court, filled with envy, jealousy, and murderous intent...
