Chapter 482: Chapter 54: Awarding, Land Exchange, Promotion, Fortune Golden Dragon! (6K)_4

"Zhao Xing, do you have any thoughts?"

"I will defer to the General’s decision," Zhao Xing said as he clasped his hands in a bow.

One-armed Yang An revealed a smile, "Good, then this official position it is."

The responsibilities of this position are flexible and versatile, allowing for any activity; moving Zhao Xing later wouldn’t require any formal procedure, just placement wherever needed.

Chen Shijie holds the ’Commander of Army’ position of Lower Sixth Rank while Long Xiao serves as ’Feng Chang Duwei’; all three are capable of commanding armies independently.

The Military Realm arranged these official positions for them, vaguely hinting at the intention to continue using them in upcoming wars.

But Zhao Xing was indifferent, knowing that in the Jingxin Eighteenth Year the intensity of war wouldn’t increase and they still needed to focus on troop training.

Gathering more military exploits and moving up the ranks offered various ways to extricate himself when the time came.

Now, expressing loyalty to the court, speaking with great righteousness, could lay the groundwork for his future escape.

...

The official position was determined, reported to the three kings, and quickly passed the final review.

Zhao Xing went to the divine temple in Ten Suns Cave Heaven to complete the final step of his promotion—receiving the baptism of National Fate.

The familiar Tianxin Hall, the familiar assembly of hundreds of officials.

This time, entering that splendid golden palace, Zhao Xing noticed his stature had grown significantly.

Looking back, the officials of Lower Third Rank were endless, stretching beyond what the eye could see.

Looking forward, although the number of Mid Third Rank officials was still large, it no longer felt overcrowded and seemed not endless.

"Boom~"

Emperor Jing, seated on the throne, waved his hand and a dragon-shaped beam of golden light enveloped Zhao Xing.

"Fortune Golden Dragon! This time it’s going to be big!" Zhao Xing felt a chill in his heart.

The Fortune Golden Dragon first explored Zhao Xing’s cultivation level and foundational practice.

However, this time, even Zhao Xing’s Life Soul was of the sixth rank; his foundation was incredibly stable, and it couldn’t be enhanced even slightly.

Therefore, the Fortune Golden Dragon merely symbolically traveled through his Dantian and sea of consciousness before rushing into Zhao Xing’s Fate Palace.

Buzz~

The Fate Palace was barren, but at that moment, it was coated with a layer of gold by the Fortune Golden Dragon.

Invisibly, Zhao Xing’s fortune and lifespan were altered.

After a long duration, the Fortune Golden Dragon swiftly flew away.

Zhao Xing watched the departing Fortune Golden Dragon with a sense of reluctance.

But he soon thanked Emperor Jing and left the divine temple.

The moment Zhao Xing stepped out of the divine temple, he looked back.

"If I could master the Secret Technique of an Outer Sect to lock down and refine this Fortune Golden Dragon, I wonder how much benefit I would gain," he thought.

"Unfortunately, to play like this during this era would be courting death."

In the era of Emperor Jing, one couldn’t dare to steal National Fate, as Great Zhou was still thriving. To learn heretical methods from an Outer Sect to steal fortune?

Death would be immediate, soul shattered! And not just him, but his entire family would be executed!

Under Emperor Wu, there was no need to steal, because Emperor Wu, unlike Emperor Jing, was very generous already.

It would only be after Emperor Wu’s era that stealing the Great Zhou’s fortune would be viable.

By then, Mr. Zhao would surely hold a high position and could act without fear.

"This time, moving from Lower Third Rank to Mid Third Rank, my Life Soul didn’t receive any enhancement; everything was focused on fortune and lifespan," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"I wonder how that was allocated."

He actually preferred having more fortune, because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty of Ten Suns Cave Heaven would soon arrive.

With increased fortune, he would naturally gain more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty.

Then he could find even more valuable treasures.

"Let’s head back."

Zhao Xing didn’t immediately check, but after distancing himself from the divine temple, he returned to the Eighteen locust and willow courtyard before finally opening his panel to review the changes after his promotion.
