Chapter 613: Chapter 613: The Heavenly Court of Lingxiao

The announcement of the Heavenly Palace Plan caused an uproar among the court. Although Lu Jianping had overseen the construction of Sky Wolf Island, not everyone was aware of the specifics. Even the craftsmen Lu Jianping had gathered were not told the purpose of their work.

When Zhong Shan mentioned it in court today, everyone was stunned.

"Where is Lu Jianping?" Zhong Shan sat on the dragon throne and called out solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I am here!" Lu Jianping stepped forward.

"At noon ten days from now, the island will officially take flight!" Zhong Shan ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Jianping responded immediately.

"In these ten days, make sure all the people are prepared. I do not want any disturbances during this critical period!" Zhong Shan said again.

"We obey!" The ministers, suppressing their astonishment, responded promptly.

The noon ten days later was an auspicious time selected by Mud Bodhisattva.

Ten days later, Zhong Shan led his civil and military officials to stand before the Hall of Longevity.

Today, the island would officially take flight.

Mud Bodhisattva, Liu Wushuang, Bao\'er, Ling\'er, Bei Qingsi, Zhao Suoxiang, and other close confidants of Zhong Shan were all present, waiting for this monumental event.

Lu Jianping approached Zhong Shan.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. We are just waiting for your command!" Lu Jianping reported.

Zhong Shan looked at Mud Bodhisattva, who nodded, indicating that the auspicious time had arrived.

"Begin!" Zhong Shan commanded.

"Yes!" Lu Jianping responded immediately. With a wave of his hand, one hundred and eight beams of light shot out from a high platform in the distance, radiating in all directions around Sky Wolf Island.

These beams of light were part of a special communication device that only giant cities could establish. When Zhong Shan first joined the Da Luo Heavenly Dynasty and was sent on a mission to the Da Yu Empire, he had stolen the Wan City Treasure Mirror, and the Deer King had used similar beams to communicate with the surrounding cities.

The beams, like massive columns of light, quickly spread to all corners of Sky Wolf Island.

After each beam had flashed six times, it seemed as though messages had been received.

Suddenly, one hundred and eight columns of light appeared around Sky Wolf Island, piercing through the sky and reaching the heavens, boundless and infinite.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded by the sight. One hundred and eight columns of light?

Countless small towns on Sky Wolf Island received messages from the Great Zong Dynasty, instructing everyone to stay calm during this period. But seeing such a grand spectacle, it was hard not to be amazed.

"What is that?"

"It must be something the Emperor is doing. Didn\'t he tell us not to act rashly a few days ago?"

"These columns of light reach the heavens. Does the Emperor really possess such power?"

"The Emperor is like a god!"

The citizens, initially shocked, gradually began to worship Zhong Shan.

How powerful was Zhong Shan? How mighty was the Great Zong Dynasty? How fortunate it was to be a part of the Great Zong Dynasty?

The one hundred and eight powerful beams of light were not only seen by the countless citizens of Sky Wolf Island but also by numerous flood dragons in the surrounding seas. They ceased their wandering and stared wide-eyed at the edge of Sky Wolf Island. What was happening?

Columns of light? Columns of light that reach the heavens and earth?

"Quick, inform the Supreme Leader, something is happening!" ordered a horned dragon to its subordinate.

"Yes!" The subordinate immediately responded and swiftly departed.

While the dragon clan was still frowning in puzzlement, a massive explosion erupted.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Sky Wolf Island shook violently, like a colossal earthquake, engulfing the entire island. Zhong Shan had previously measured the size of Sky Wolf Island and found it comparable to Earth in his youth. One can imagine the impact of an island the size of Earth suddenly shaking.

With this massive tremor, the surrounding sea suddenly surged with towering waves in all directions. Some dragons were swept away without any resistance!

What\'s happening? The horned dragon leader\'s eyes widened in shock.

"Rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Sky Wolf Island continued to quake, and powerful waves battered the shores, annihilating countless lives, forcing the dragons to retreat repeatedly.

At the site where Zhong Shan had severed the Earth Vein, an immense amount of Yin energy surged outward, instantly freezing the sea within an eight-thousand-mile radius of Sky Wolf Island.

What\'s happening? The horned dragon leader\'s mind was in turmoil.

"Quick, inform the Supreme Leader, there\'s a major incident on Sky Wolf Island!" the horned dragon leader roared at another subordinate.

"Yes!" The subordinate, trembling, quickly departed.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, fog arose around the edges of Sky Wolf Island.

Countless clouds and mist enveloped the island, and in an instant, it seemed as though Sky Wolf Island was shrouded in a veil. A massive influx of spiritual energy converged upon the island, making it seem as though the island itself was cultivating, absorbing the spiritual energy.

What\'s happening? The horned dragon leader had never seen such a spectacle in his lifetime, staring in absolute disbelief.

Amidst the swirling mist, Sky Wolf Island trembled and began to float slowly.

Sky Wolf Island is floating? The horned dragon leader\'s eyes nearly popped out of his head. A massive island floating? This isn\'t a small sect\'s floating island with a few chunks of earth taking flight—this is a colossal island!

What\'s this giant island doing? Floating? Am I seeing things?

The horned dragon leader rubbed his eyes furiously, looking as though he\'d seen a ghost. But right before his eyes, Sky Wolf Island continued to rise, steadily floating higher and higher. The horned dragon leader\'s eyes were nearly worn out from rubbing, yet Sky Wolf Island\'s trajectory remained unchanged.

Before the Hall of Longevity, the officials clenched their fists in excitement. From extensive intelligence, they knew that no flying city existed on the Divine Land. This was a colossal city. Witnessing their dynasty\'s overwhelming strength filled the officials with fervent excitement.

Standing at the forefront, Zhong Shan felt the earth tremble and the gradual ascent, his heart brimming with excitement.

This was his territory, his city, unparalleled by any.

One hundred and eight columns of light reaching the heavens and earth formed a pathway, ensuring that Sky Wolf Island ascended without any deviation, soaring higher and higher into the sky!

Sky Wolf Island\'s surroundings seemed to support a massive array that only affected the air currents, not the people. When Lu Jianping designed the Heavenly Palace, he had naturally accounted for everything.

In the high sky, the airflow is different from that on the ground, changing unpredictably from strong to weak. Lu Jianping\'s goal was to stabilize the high-altitude climate, making Sky Wolf Island appear as if it were shrouded in clouds and mist.

Sky Wolf Island flew higher and higher!

The flood dragons and horned dragons in the surrounding sea were already gaping, unable to articulate their thoughts.

What am I seeing? What is that thing?

Almost all the dragons displayed expressions of disbelief. This was too incredible. Such a huge Sky Wolf Island could actually fly?

Higher and higher it went. After three hours, it finally stabilized.

By then, the sky had darkened, and only a faint light was visible. Sky Wolf Island had become a mere dot.

How large was Sky Wolf Island? Comparable to Earth in size, and now it was just a dot? The dragons watching from below were utterly astonished.

In the high sky, on Sky Wolf Island, Zhong Shan and his ministers had been waiting for three hours.

"Your Majesty, Sky Wolf Island has reached its maximum altitude," Lu Jianping reported solemnly.

"Oh? Maximum?" Zhong Shan frowned.

"Your Majesty, this is just the current maximum. Sky Wolf Island is designed with numerous formations to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, optimizing the island. Over time, it can be upgraded to fly even higher!" Lu Jianping respectfully explained.

"Hmm," Zhong Shan nodded.

Although the ministers were at the island\'s center, they all knew from the island\'s earlier ascent that Sky Wolf Island was no longer in its original sea. It had truly taken flight, becoming a sky island!

"From today onward~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Zhong Shan\'s voice boomed.

The proclamation echoed through the entire Xuanjing. Everyone fell silent, waiting for Zhong Shan\'s next order.

"Sky Wolf Island is hereby renamed \'Lingxiao Heavenly Court\'! It will be the capital of the Great Zong Dynasty. Xuanjing will be renamed \'Xuan District,\' included within Lingxiao Heavenly Court!" Zhong Shan declared loudly.

The capital of the Great Zong Dynasty? Lingxiao Heavenly Court? The name Xuanjing was abolished, becoming just a part of Lingxiao Heavenly Court?

Such a vast capital? Almost everyone was in shock.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Whether officials or commoners, all bowed in reverence to Zhong Shan and the Great Zong Dynasty!

Lingxiao Heavenly Court? Everyone remembered the name, believing it would soon resonate throughout the Divine Land. The entire world would be amazed by Lingxiao Heavenly Court, and the Great Zong Dynasty would embark on a legendary path.

In that moment, the one hundred and eight columns of light gradually dispersed.

"Destination, Qingzhou!" Zhong Shan commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Jianping replied respectfully.

With another wave of Lu Jianping\'s hand, the messages were again transmitted from the distant high platform. The entire Lingxiao Heavenly Court began to move slowly, heading towards Divine Land.

After the initial buffering period, almost everyone had adapted to the flight due to inertia, feeling no movement from Lingxiao Heavenly Court. Life resumed its normalcy, but their hearts remained stirred.

"Dismiss the court~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Zhong Shan ordered.

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The excited and shocked officials left, with only a few key ministers staying behind.
