Chapter 354
With two great discoveries, Lin Beifan was overjoyed and took out dragon meat to treat his beloved consorts.
The huge dragon meat was sliced into thin pieces and then slowly cooked on a charcoal stove.
Without the need for any seasoning, the meat sizzled with oil in no time and released a unique and rich aroma that filled the entire imperial palace, whetting everyone’s appetite.
This proved the saying: High-end ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods!
Lin Beifan gestured with his hand, “My beloved consorts, please enjoy!”
The consorts replied, “Your Majesty, please have the first taste!”
Following the palace etiquette, Lin Beifan didn’t hesitate, picked up a slice of dragon meat with chopsticks, and slowly chewed it.
Then the dragon meat melted in his mouth. After only a couple of bites, it dissolved, tasting both fragrant and delightful.
This is the most delicious ingredient Lin Beifan has ever tasted.
He decided that he would eat it regularly from now on.As the one and only Celestial Empire’s Emperor throughout the ages, he should eat dragon meat, drink dragon blood, and enjoy all the finest delicacies.
After all, the dragon was huge and fat, with meat piled up like mountains, and even if some was cut off, it would grow back, so eating a little more wouldn’t be a problem.
The giant dragon lying beneath him couldn’t help but sneeze.
To Lin Beifan, this dragon meat only satisfied his appetite, but for others, the effects were different.
Take Yaoyao, for instance, who, after just one bite of dragon meat, immediately had a gleam in her eye and sat down to meditate and cultivate.
In less than a moment, she exhibited the powerful state of three flowers gathering atop the head with five qi toward the yuan. Her strength greatly improved, equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation.
The other women skilled in martial arts also reaped tremendous benefits.
And even those without martial arts skills, though they saw no increase in their abilities, felt much more comfortable; it was as if every cell in their bodies had been activated, brimming with vibrant vitality.
Consort Chu couldn’t help but ask, “Your Majesty, what kind of meat is this? Why does it have such a tremendous effect after eating it? My cultivation level has improved by more than ten percent!”
The other women looked on, puzzled, their eyes filled with questions.
Lin Beifan replied with a mysterious smile, “My beloved consorts, the nature of this meat involves state secrets, so it’s inconvenient for me to disclose. However, this is indeed a treasure, comparable to a divine elixir. Consuming it can enhance one’s power, heal injuries, cure diseases, and even delay aging! Regular consumption could easily add a hundred years to one’s life!”
The women’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
They weren’t concerned with the other effects, but the words delay aging were particularly attractive to them.
After all, they were women, and who wouldn’t want to maintain their youthful appearance?
Although they had already taken the Beauty-Preserving Pill, which preserved their looks, they had yet to reach the age to know if the pill truly worked.
Now, with the addition of this divine item that could delay aging, how could they not be thrilled?
“Of course it’s true. Why would I deceive you?”
Lin Beifan laughed, “I also wish to stay with my beloved consorts forever, never to part!”
The consorts felt warmth in their hearts.
Despite holding the power of the world, their husband never neglected them and gave them plenty of love!
Marrying such a great man as His Majesty in this lifetime was worth it!
“Your Majesty, we are not immortals. How can we possibly stay together forever, never to part? Just being with Your Majesty for a lifetime is enough. We can’t be too greedy!” Consort Yue playfully chided.
“If I say it’s possible, then it certainly is!” Lin Beifan spoke with determination and confidence.
As the strength of the Great Xia Kingdom continued to grow, so would his power.
With increased strength, he could live longer.
Eventually, becoming like the legendary immortals, living forever and having a lifespan as long as the heavens was not an impossibility.
Moreover, the Empire Sandbox had not reached its limit and could continue to evolve.
Lin Beifan had already found out that there was a Divine Empire above the Celestial Empire.
On the Empire Sandbox, there is also a Heavenly Dao form.
The so-called Divine Empire meant transforming the entire world into his territory, replacing the will of heaven with his own, and the heart of heaven with his heart, becoming the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and wielding the power over the world, where his word became law, and none dared to disobey.
At that point, his life would be bound to the world.
If the world did not perish, neither would he.
Not only would he live forever, but he could also use his world as a base to wage wars with other worlds and continue to expand his territory.
If he could live forever, he also hoped that his women could accompany him in immortality.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the journey be too lonely?
Of course, before realizing this grand aspiration, it would be best to first take down the four holy beasts and clear the obstacles ahead.
“Come, come, come, my beloved consorts, let’s continue feasting on the meat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
At this point, a week had passed since Lin Beifan established the Celestial Empire, and the world seemed to have fallen into a brief period of peace.
There were no major wars between nations. It appeared that everyone was acting with an eye on Great Xia.
Or rather, they were adapting to the new situation under the era of the Celestial Empire.
However, Lin Beifan couldn’t be bothered with them.
As long as it didn’t affect his interests, he wouldn’t spare them a glance even if their countries fell and families were ruined.
His gaze was no longer limited to this world but spanned across the myriad of stars and realms.
Seeing that Great Xia made no moves, the other nations finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to food issues, conflicts between nations reignited, and domestic uprisings and friction between countries were endless. It was one after another, with no country at peace, and the whole world was in chaos like a pot of porridge.
Great Xia Celestial Empire became the sole contender for the throne of the world.
Thus, refugees from various nations came to seek asylum.
Among these refugees were many royals and nobles from different countries or influential officials bringing their gold, silver, and jewels to settle down in Great Xia.
Great Xia did not compete, yet it had already won the world!
However, despite the positive development momentum of Great Xia, Lin Beifan was still not happy.
All this was because of the trouble caused by the ‘Hand of Boundary Breaker’.
Ever since he first used the Realm-Breaking Hand to snatch a dragon from another world, Lin Beifan had fallen in love with this ability.
So every day, he was eager to do it again when it refreshed.
However, it seemed that he had used up all his luck on the first attempt. A week had passed, and he hadn’t managed to get anything good.
“My luck is too bad. I must wash my hands and dispel this bad fortune!”
That day, Lin Beifan bathed and changed his clothes, washed his hands in a golden basin, and burned incense to pray to the gods, hoping to improve his fortune.
In front of him was a jade statue dressed in imperial robes, holding a divine sword, gazing forward, and its facial features looked surprisingly nine-tenths similar to Lin Beifan himself.
Yes, he was not praying to anyone else, he was praying to himself!
“Brother Fan, please bless me, may I catch a good treasure this time!” Lin Beifan muttered to himself, then once again, with hopeful anticipation, he used the Hand of Boundary Breaker.
The fog near the Empire Sandbox dispersed, revealing a new world.
