Chapter 752: Premium Country

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The discovery of Cai Die gave Lin Jin a shortcut. A shortcut to shorten Xiao Huo’s evolution period, and a shortcut that would bring him up above the clouds.

As Cai Die played an important role in all this, Lin Jin wouldn’t allow any accidents.

Hence, he had to ‘control’ her completely.

Using spells didn’t guarantee anything while intimidation was just as flawed. Lin Jin desired her willing cooperation.

A few days later, Lin Jin sought out Cai Die once more and brought only her into the Unending Nature Landscape.

Cai Die had never seen anything like this so she was shocked for a moment while she was there. Lin Jin had informed Shu Xiaolou in advance so she simply transported them to the hundredth layer.

When she saw the Nine-Heaven Realm, Cai Die wore an indescribable expression. However, due to her familiarity with the actual immortal palace, she soon realized that this palace was a fake.

“The immortal palace may be fake, but the immortal empress, Xuan Xuanzi, is real,” Lin Jin said meaningfully. Then, Shu Xiaolou sent them to the deepest location of the core layer where they could see an immortal mountain in the distance. Further ahead, they saw the shadow of a woman sitting upright inside the mountain.

It was Xuan Xuanzi’s shadow.

Xuan Xuanzi was the immortal empress’ Taoist name. Lin Jin said nothing. He wanted to see Cai Die’s reaction.

If she used to live in the immortal empress’ rear garden, she should know the immortal empress very well. She might even recognize the immortal empress just from looking at her shadow.

If Cai Die couldn’t recognize the shadow, what she previously said might be false. If it was the other way around, her words would be much more believable.

And, she didn’t disappoint.

Cai Die immediately recognized Xuan Xuanzi’s shadow and she quickly knelt down fearfully.

However, the shadow didn’t sense her presence as this was just a simulation made by Shu Xiaolou. They weren’t looking at the real shadow of Xuan Xuanzi.

They thought this method would be safe in case unsuspecting trouble occurred.

Then, the image before them blurred and they returned to the real world.

“That, was a painting realm, and this painting was personally drawn by Xuan Xuanzi. I, Lin Jin, am the new owner of this Unending Nature Landscape, so in other words, I can be considered as Xuan Xuanzi’s successor. Hence, traveling to the immortal empress’ garden to retrieve the Golden Tian Luo Pill is only the right thing to do,” Lin Jin said seriously.

Cai Die already feared Lin Jin’s powers and strength, to begin with. After witnessing all this, her suspicion and dissatisfaction for him disappeared without a trace.

The immortal empress was her benefactor as she had enlightened her and the immortal empress’ garden belonged to the immortal empress. Since Lin Jin was now the immortal empress’ successor, it made sense that he could take things away from the garden.

Also, Cai Die only believed Lin Jin because he said the words ‘Xuan Xuanzi’.

Back in the day, not many people knew of the immortal empress’ Taoist name. Perhaps only a handful of people did. Cai Die only learned of her name when she saw the immortal empress writing calligraphy in the garden and then signing it with ‘Xuan Xuanzi’.

It had been a coincidence.

So she had no more doubts and questions now.

Lin Jin had achieved his goal.

Although it was sort of despicable, for the sake of the mission’s success, Lin Jin had no other choice. Also, he would like to think that he had a good relationship with Xuan Xuanzi since the latter had saved him before.

So Lin Jin had a reason for bluffing about this relationship.

Things with Cai Die were settled now and all they had to do was wait until the day of the Nine-Heaven Realm trip.

As the days went by, Lin Jin went to the Jade Dragon Lair since he could achieve what he had promised He Qian, and that was to find suitable and potential dragons who could be promoted up to Rank 5.

This way, He Qian could use these Rank 5 beasts to win people over and the country would also have a batch of Rank 5 guardian beasts to call their own. With this, they now fulfilled a basic requirement for premium country status.

The other requirement was to gain the approval of at least three other premium countries. The more the better.

This requirement was actually easier said than done. But when He Qian sent out invitations to premium countries of all continents, almost all the invited premium countries gave speedy responses, informing that they were willing to travel to Jade Dragon for the ceremony.

Their ‘willing participation’ said enough.

Because only if they supported and agreed with the idea would they attend the ceremony. Otherwise, they would have ignored the invitation.

The unusually smooth development of it all pleased He Qian. Jade Dragon Kingdom was advancing into premium country status with each passing day.

Finally, the official day of Jade Dragon Kingdom’s status advancement came.

He Qian woke up early in the morning to make various preparations. In fact, he hadn’t been sleeping at all. After all, no intermediate country’s monarch could possibly sleep well before a big day like this one.

“Premium country! Finally, I’ve led Jade Dragon Kingdom back into the ranks of premium countries. Dear ancestors, I have not failed in regaining our family’s glory.” He Qian was so excited that tears even glistened in his eyes.

He mumbled to himself at times, then paced back and forth in deep thought. One could imagine just how He Qian felt right now.

The entire Jade Dragon City was cheerfully decorated with their city gates wide open. Every street and alley had been washed and cleaned without a speck of dirt in sight.

“Prince Feng Ziqian of Heavenly Spiral Kingdom has arrived!” a messenger reported.

He Qian immediately straightened up, tidied his robes, and sat upright in his throne before saying, “Invite Heavenly Spiral’s prince inside.”

After saying that, he watched as his Minister of Rites invited a few people inside. The man walking in the lead was none other than Heavenly Spiral Kingdom’s Prince Feng Ziqian. He looked excited. Upon seeing He Qian, he hastened forward and saluted.

“Emperor of Jade Dragon, Feng Ziqian has come forth on orders of Heavenly Spiral Kingdom’s emperor to congratulate Jade Dragon Kingdom for entering the ranks of a premium country,” Feng Ziqian said humbly.

He was treating He Qian as the monarch of a premium country in advance.

“Wonderful. Welcome, Ziqian, to Jade Dragon,” He Qian answered happily, feeling thrilled.

Right after that, the messenger spoke again. “Princess Ruo Li of Thousand Island Country has brought gifts of congratulations.”

Another premium country!

He Qian knew of Princess Ruo Li’s marriage arrangement with Prince Feng Ziqian so he was sure that Jade Dragon Kingdom would have the support of both their countries.

His theory was proven correct upon her appearance. He Qian treated the Thousand Island Country’s princess with just as much respect, and had people serve them, showing them great hospitality.

Subsequently, many guests came after that, but instead of representatives of premium countries, they were mostly from intermediate and small countries.

The statuses of these people clearly couldn’t compare to those from premium countries but He Qian still greeted them cheerfully..
