Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 164: Phoenix Fortune

Golen light rose to the sky of the county.

Fortune, gathered by the imperial edict, fell right into Mu Yan’s body!

All the loose fortune of the county, and everyone who received the edict gave a part of their fortune too.

Streams of golden entered his body, and suddenly, a phoenix, initially icy-blue, transformed into a golden phoenix as it rose higher and higher.

It grew incredibly large –

From the second stage, it rose to the third stage in just a few moments.

The golden light became slower, but somehow, the phoenix’s growth didn’t slow down at all!

It seemed like another source was added out of nowhere.

*Ding*

*Ding*

*Ding*

When the phoenix rose to the peak of the third stage, from the depths of the county, three *dings* could be heard.

Instantly, the carp that had become slightly pale, started to dissipate.

Its golden light flew to the phoenix!

*Ding*

A fourth ding rang, and the phoenix, mighty and majestic, rose to the fourth stage!

With the disappearance of the carp, the fortune of all forces gathered on the phoenix.

Four majestic feathers gathered on its crown, each pointing to one of the four groups present.

Nine more feathers formed on its tail, pointing to the remaining forces.

The phoenix rose to the centre of the cave-town, its wings covering the whole opening.

Golden light fell on all the citizen of the county, bathing them in warm light.

Past injuries suddenly recovered, weak bones and eyesight became better and cultivators at a bottleneck suddenly felt it loosen –

It was a great atmosphere of blessings, the true ability of Phoenix Fortune!

Slowly, the golden light dwindled and the phoenix in the air became illusory.

In Mu Yan’s vision, from the centre of the phoenix, a small icy-blue phoenix came out and flew towards him, entering his body again.

The golden phoenix covering the town became rather listless, seemingly losing its intelligence.

But the icy phoenix fully entered Mu Yan’s dantian, it the golden phoenix somehow regained its intelligence.

’Controlling from afar? Truly a wondrous fortune.’ He knew that dragon fortune couldn’t be like this – it had to be present to push its dominance, once it left, the fortune would become loose.

He also looked into his own dantian and saw his Ink Dragon rise several times.

Hidden in his body, it seemed like there was no improvement, but with the rise in authority, the dragon, too, rose.

He looked around at the forces that slowly regained their focus, all looking at him with some admiration.

After all, such a scene was more than rare!

There had never been a case in this county where a royal descendant took control right away, and so thoroughly, controlling the fortune fully!

His voice was calm yet carried an irrefutable majesty, "You may rise.

In a week’s time, all forces shall gather to discuss the county’s affairs.

In a months’ time, we will arrange the celebration."

"We will attend!" one of the third-stage forces said right away.

With one person’s call, others soon followed too.

Mu Yan simply nodded and walked down the path.

When he stood in front of the two offices, he waved his hand –

In the centre, a small portal opened!

He stepped into it right away, followed by Yuanhan and Yuanyun.

The direct entrance into the Royal Office was open to him the moment he took over the county.

...

Once inside the office, Mu Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Haaaaaah, I didn’t think I could take over and control the county’s fortune right away!

The burden is heavy, too heavy!"

When he gained the fortune, his cultivation seemed to be blessed by immense power.

Without suppression, it would have already broken through to the mid stage or even late stage!

In a month or more, he would directly break through to the peak and advancing to the third stage would only be a step away!

But his was a trap.

He pursues the Royal Path, which uses fortune to establish itself.

Once refined, the fortune becomes Royal Fortune that can be used extremely well.

It not refined, then his foundation would be broken and he would be like a wild beast – with only the power of the cultivation stage but nothing else that came with it.

Naturally he couldn’t accept it.

’At least ten, at most a hundred years. That’s how long I will need to refine it.

And the defining factor for how long I need depends on these two...’ he looked over to his children.

As a Royal Eunuch, his authority was legitimised through them.

Once they’re strong and their fortune gathers, flowing back to him, he can use the clash of fortunes to refine his own fortune and slowly make it true Royal Fortune.

"Father, is everything alright?" Yuanhan asked when she saw her father collapse on the chair.

Yuanyun already went to a small desk on the side, filling a teapot with water and herbs, about to heat it up.

"Haha, I am just shocked at the huge surge of power in just a moment!

I can feel it – the breakthrough is imminent. If I don’t force it to halt, I would already have risen several minor stages.

You two," he said but paused for a moment to drink the poured tea.

"I want both of you to enter the garrison and magistrate’s office respectively and get to know the process from the bottom up.

Today your face was shown to the whole county, so I want to use my imperial authority to veil you.

Are you willing to take this path?"

"Yes father, we are willing and ready!"

The two children had known about this and directly agreed.

Mu Yan smiled at their diligence, "You two are my true pride.

Growing up independently in offices will allow you to see the inner machinations of the offices and gain a better understanding of people.

If you enter from a high position right away, then no matter what you do, people will only flatter you and never be honest.

True leadership requires knowing each and every of your followers."

Mu Yan started teaching them right away.
