Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 73: Qi Dragon and Fortune Phoenix

While the other two were taking care of the information gathering, Mu Yan wanted to first try out his new abilities.

He willed in his heart and summoned the dragon spirit.

The instant it appeared, Mu Yan could see it had changed a lot from before.

Its texture was smooth yet scales could now be seen properly. The newly grown claws were strong and robust with a glint of sharpness...

But the most important part were its eyes –

A golden light flew through them as they looked at Mu Yan with a look of familiarity.

"Come here," Mu Yan said, reaching his hand out.

The large dragon approached and suddenly shrunk until it landed on his hand.

"So you truly gained intelligence. From your lack of speech and thought, this intelligence is probably at the level of a one-year-old baby.

But the step from zero to one is more difficult than anything else.

To think the awakening had such a bonus reward...

In the future, I will have to show my gratitude to Great Eunuch Hu Ming. This gift is too great!"

Even if he continued to advance normally, there wouldn’t be any guarantee their intelligence would awaken!

They were actually just manifested forms of his spirit.

Them gaining spirit was like him gaining two more brains!!!

He was truly excited but calmed down and gestured the dragon to return to its state.

Then he said, "Take out the dragon seal."

When he summoned the dragon this time, he hadn’t seen the seal in its claw, but he had a guess where it was.

Just then, the dragon opened its maw and a dragon seal flew out, hovering in the air for a bit before flying towards Mu Yan.

Mu Yan inspected it right away.

This seal was his spiritual inspiration!

The only reason the dragon could carry it was because, as said, it was an extension of him. If not for this, such a young inspiration would be harmed upon being taken out.

Now it seemed stable, this could only be attributed to the dragon spirit’s care.

As Mu Yan inspected, he generally got an idea what it could be used for.

"The dragon seal represents royal authority.

Based on the wielder, one may influence a specific authority in their legitimately recognized royal territory.

The wielder, in this case, is my Qi Dragon.

Qi is the hidden movement of everything, fate, heaven and earth, karma, etc.

This means my dragon holds authority over these things?!"

Suddenly, Mu Yan was shocked!

Although the Royal Path indeed had a way to influence these, such a matter wasn’t something he could do so early!

The influence range might only be in the local area, but this signified something else –

Indirect influence from any other place was lower than the direct influence through his!

These indirect influences were other territories, powers in his territory, or even... the emperor!

Of course as said, these were merely indirect influences.

Mu Yan was far from being able to override those people’s direct influences.

But he still smiled "With this, I could carve out a small power for myself. No matter what place I’ll be assigned to, I will be able to take control of one area.

At least in this way, I could slowly change things in the favour of my prince.

Not to mention the other power of the seal, which is to stamp edicts!"

An edict is a royal decree. The power of any edict depends on their legitimacy. Being stamped with the Imperial Dragon Seal would direct the Qi of the world to fulfil this edict!

"No wonder they came in a pair!" he said, summoning the phoenix.

As guessed, the phoenix also had intelligence. It looked at him cutely, he couldn’t stop himself from patting it a few times.

When he looked over, he saw that the dragon had approached him at some time.

"Haha, you two, well, I treat everyone equally. Let me pat you too!" at this moment, the usual cold façade of Mu Yan was nowhere to be seen.

He had a hard outer shell but a warm heart, unfortunately, not many get to pass the shell.

Mu Yan played a bit with the shrunk dragon and phoenix before asking the phoenix for the edict.

One of its tail feathers shined for a moment before an edict left it and flew towards Mu Yan.

Taking the edict, Mu Yan instantly gained a burst of knowledge and understood what it was used for.

The Immortal Phoenix Edict had main jurisdiction over immortals, which means, cultivators.

Writing a command on this edict, one may forbid a group of immortals from doing something, or command them to do something. When targeting only a single immortal, it can force them into complying. In that case, the powers of the two will be tested –

What was matched was of course the fortune of each person, not their strength.

This is why, with the edict, Mu Yan could technically command cultivators above his rank!

Of course, with each rank above, one gains more fortune while also becoming more unrestrained by the laws of fortune.

He guessed that the limit to his commands was one stage above him. Any further, even a minor stage, would cause the edict to backlash.

In addition, like the dragon seal, the edict had another feature.

It could bless people with fortune – not the wielder’s fortune, but the general free flowing fortune in the world.

Naturally it could also take such fortune away from cultivators.

The previous effect can be enhanced by the dragon seal, while the latter effect can enhance the Qi Authority of the dragon seal.

"This pair of spiritual inspirations is truly made for each other.

One strengthens imperial authority, the other controls blessings.

Together, they are two extremely important factors for ruling.

With these, regardless of the region I’ll be assigned to, I will have the ability to slowly grow my power."

What is fearsome isn’t how long it takes to gather power, but rather having no way to gain power.

After inspecting them, Mu Yan stood up and went to the training ground.

While these two things were rather new, his previous fighting style would merely be enhanced and not overridden.
