In the world of "Covering the Sky": An Analysis of the Ancient Sacred Body at the Start

"You don't need to make things difficult for yourself. Just tell Lin Wan'er what I just said and let her make her own decision. As long as she doesn't regret it later, it's fine."

Seeing Fan Xian in a dilemma, Yu Yi gave him a suggestion. He had already said what needed to be said, and he would definitely not hold back if the Eldest Princess caused trouble in the future.

"Brother Yu, you really have a way with things. I'll go find Wan'er later and discuss it with her..."

"You're just worried sick. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. After I ascend the throne, I plan to have you take over the Overwatch Council and the Underwear Bureau. Get ready!"

"After you take over the Overwatch Council, your main task will be to gather intelligence on Northern Qi and Eastern Yi. I aim to destroy Northern Qi and Eastern Yi and unify the world within six months!"

With only three years left until the arrival of the Three Generations Bronze Coffin, Yu Yi needs to collect enough source energy to replicate the Ancient Sacred Body before the Three Generations Bronze Coffin arrives.

His time was very tight. If he couldn't collect enough source energy in the Joy of Life world, he would have to travel to other worlds and couldn't stay in this world for long.

"Let me take over the Control Yuan? That's not a good idea, is it? Won't Director Chen have any objections?"

"Don't worry, Chen Pingping won't have any objections. He'd be more than happy if you took over the Control Yuan."

Chen Pingping was a big fan of Ye Qingmei, and his affection for Fan Xian extended to her. He originally planned to hand over the Supervisory Council to Fan Xian, and he went to great lengths to achieve this.

If the Supervisory Council were handed over to someone else, Chen Pingping would definitely object, but if it were handed over to Fan Xian, he would agree 100% and would even cooperate fully.

"Besides gathering intelligence, we also need to get started on spreading the faith and collecting incense offerings as soon as possible..."

The fate of the Qing Kingdom is limited, not inexhaustible, but the incense offerings are different. As long as there are people who believe in him, incense will be continuously produced.

"Brother Yu, working for you is too hard! I have to make money for you, gather intelligence, and spread the faith. Even oxen and horses need rest."

"You think earning a thousand catties of rice a year is so easy? I'm definitely going to earn it back double!"

"By the way, how's your cultivation of the Forget-Dust Scripture going? Around when will you be able to open the Sea of ​​Bitterness?"

"Still sensing the Wheel of Life, I have no clue whatsoever. This Heaven-Covering Technique is too difficult to cultivate."

The first step in cultivating the Heaven-Covering Technique is to sense the Wheel of Life. This stage varies from person to person; some people only need a few days, while others need several years.

"Hurry up and cultivate! Before I leave, you must open the Sea of ​​Bitterness and possess the strength to rival, or even suppress, a Grandmaster!"

Once the Bitter Sea is opened, one can forge divine runes and refine one's natal weapon. A cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm who possesses a weapon can absolutely rival, or even suppress, a Grandmaster.

Only when Fan Xian breaks through the sea of ​​suffering and possesses the power to suppress the world can Yu Yi leave with peace of mind.

"I will try my best!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian immediately felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. Brother Yu had entrusted the entire Qing Kingdom to him, and he could not betray Brother Yu's trust.

……

Three days later, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled. The palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and civil and military officials, dressed in court attire, waited quietly outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests early in the morning.

In a solemn yet festive atmosphere, Yu Yi, dressed in imperial robes and surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, arrived at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

"Please, Your Highness, move to another location..."

The emperor's carriage was different from others; it was pulled by nine horses, the highest standard. Yu Yi rode in the carriage, slowly heading towards the outskirts of the capital.

Upon arriving outside Kyoto, a shrine comes into view. The shrine has nine tiers, each with nine steps, and is about 27 meters high.

Officials of all ranks stood below the altar, along with 50,000 armored soldiers, arrayed around it, each wielding swords and spears, exuding a murderous aura.

Outside the altar were hundreds of thousands of people from Kyoto who had come to witness the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

Surrounded by civil and military officials, Yu Yi slowly ascended the altar, lit incense and candles, and worshipped heaven and earth.

Holding the eulogy, Lin Ruofu stood on the lower step, looking down at the viewpoint, and read the eulogy aloud.

"On the first day of the fourth month of the twenty-sixth year of the Qingli reign (1767), Emperor Ru dares to proclaim this to Heaven and Earth..."

After Lin Ruofu finished reading the sacrificial text proclaiming to Heaven and Earth, and Yu Yi finished worshipping Heaven and Earth, two ritual officials ascended the altar, each carrying a tray in their hands.

One tray held the imperial seal, the national seal of the Qing Kingdom, and the other tray held the twelve-tasseled Pingtian crown, also known as the crown.

The crown (冕) refers to a hat, and the tassels (旒) refer to the beads on the front and back of the hat. Generally, high-ranking officials could only use five tassels, kings and marquises could use seven tassels, and only emperors could use twelve tassels.

"Please accept the seal, Your Majesty, and we will crown you..."

The master of ceremonies placed the twelve-tasseled flat crown on Yu Yi's head. Another master of ceremonies stepped forward with the imperial seal in his hands. Yu Yi took the imperial seal and raised it high.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

At this moment, all the civil and military officials on the altar, as well as the soldiers and common people below, knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"

Yu Yi stood there deep in thought. At the moment he ascended the throne and became the ruler of the Qing Kingdom, he clearly felt a tremendous national destiny descend upon him.

"Unfortunately, it can only absorb a third of the nation's fortune at most. If the nation's fortune declines too much, the entire Qing Kingdom will fall into turmoil, with constant natural and man-made disasters..."

However, the nation's fortunes can be restored, but it will take a long time. The upper limit of the nation's fortunes can also be increased by expanding its territory, promoting the economy, improving people's livelihoods, and so on.

Yu Yi couldn't wait to activate the Yin-Yang Mirror, which absorbed one-third of the Qing Kingdom's national fortune. Then he communicated with the Yin-Yang Mirror and made it display its attribute panel.

[Owner: Yu Yi]

[Realm: Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm - Spring of Life]

[Constitution: Ordinary]

[Cultivation Technique: The Sutra of Forgetting Dust (Fragment)]

[Source energy: 158734]

"They actually converted 150,000 units of source energy? If they absorbed all of the Qing Kingdom's national fortune, wouldn't they be able to convert at least 450,000 units of source energy?"

"After destroying the Qi Kingdom and Dongyi City, and devouring the Qi Kingdom's national fortune, we'll have enough resources to replicate the million units of energy needed for the Ancient Sacred Body..."

There are only two ways to devour a nation's destiny: either become its ruler or destroy it.

Yu Yi was torn: should he try to kill all the fish at once and get rich quick, or take a slow and steady approach?

"It's too early to consider these things now. Let's wait until we've destroyed the State of Qi and the city of Dongyi, and then see how effective it is in spreading our faith and collecting incense offerings..."

Yu Yi silently sensed it and found that the national fortune of Qing Kingdom was recovering very slowly, and it would take at least two or three years to recover to the state before it was swallowed up.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Yu Yi was lost in thought and didn't know what he was thinking, Lin Ruofu could only bite the bullet and whisper a reminder.

"Rise!"

Yu Yi came to his senses and saw that the civil and military officials and the common people were still kneeling, so he quickly told everyone to rise.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
