The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 132

Tatsuo’s entourage arrived at the Port of the Raising Dragon Kingdom with a few Hours to spare before sunset. After the defeat of the Berserker Megalodon, the rest of the Journey was calm as Ah Yin assimilated with the beast, as it was not the normal process of acquiring a spirit ring she as a Spirit Beast did not go through a slight genetic mutation but an entire species change transpired.

She was a Blue Spirit Empress which is the apex of all plants as such to Plant spirits and Plant Spirit Beast she was a supreme existence that they could not defy. However, she and the Berserker Megalodon who was under the threat of death became one entity. The Berserker Megalodon’s soul dissipated in the process causing no change in personality due to Tatsuo’s intervention leaving behind its characteristics and pushing her spirit power over rank 81 Spirit Douluo.

Her new species became Silver Berserker Empress while still maintaining her rich vital energy which is the primary characteristic of the Blue Silver empress along with the golden line embedded within the blade of grass. She also gained the ability to control water and the innate ability berserk.

Back to Tatsuo, he met with Xie Lie the King of the Raising Dragon Kingdom. As it has been a few months since they last met you could already see the changes Tatsuo’s presence has brought to the world which was stuck in the Ancient Chinese Era as many Nobles and wealthy merchants replaced their carriages with automobiles powered by a biofuel made with Hemp which is easily grown and environmentally safe while economically cheap.

Within the Palace of the Raising Dragon Kingdom, Tatsuo and Nel were having a discussion with little Lie.

“How is restructuring your economy and country going?” -Tatsuo

“Very well so far! At first, there was some aversion to the strange metal boxes called automobiles however as time passed and my subordinates began to travel in these horseless carriages. Word of their convenience and comfortable ride spread far and wide throughout my Kingdom. Now the demand is outweighing the supply you provided however this is has caused a steady flow of income due to the wealthy patrons that can afford to buy and maintain them. Production of the Biofuel, construction of better roadways, new hygiene standards, have all made my country much better than the surrounding ones in the empire!”

Tatsuo smiled and nodded his head because of course, he knew this would happen, when someone from the olden times is introduced to the technology of the future at first they would fear the unknown. Yet, as they gained more knowledge of the events they would be unable to go back to their old ways of doing things.

“Very good, the Trade monopoly you have in Star Luo will continue and your son is doing extremely well as he already acquired his first spirit ring and is moving steadily along the path of cultivation. In ten years or so he will surpass you and join the realms of the Spirit Saints!”

Saying this Tatsuo stood up and made his leave as they still have to travel to the center of the continent where the Tournament will take place in a few days time.

Outside the Palace, his convoy of off-road vehicles was already prepared for his departure. The Flag of the Night Empire was present on the doors of his the Jeep style vehicles as he entered the center one the group headed toward the battle arena.

As the dirt roads of the Douluo continent slowed the driving speed down slightly it took a little more than a day to arrive at the Sword Mountain where they disembarked and made their way to the designated hotel.

Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention not only due to the strange horseless carriages they arrived in but the overall power of the group as well. They let their spirit energy leak out of their bodies causing any and all with bad intentions to run away in fright. They entered their rooms and Tatsuo allowed the children to do some exploring during the free time they have between now and the tournament while Dugu Bo went to cultivate trying to achieve Rank 97 as quickly as possible.

Tang Hao and Ah Yin remained in their room to get some “Private Time” while Tatsuo and Nel did the same.

Time flew by uneventfully until the day of the Tournament arrived.

The Arena was housed in a venue similar to the Roman Colosseum as thousands of spectators queued to enter. A separate line was prepared for the participating teams which the High Seas Douluo, the Sure-Shot Douluo, and the World Break Douluo stood on along with Ah Yin and the students as Tatsuo, Nel, Dugu Bo, and Tang Hao went to a separate entrance for heads of state guided by Ning Fengzhi who most likely told the Emperor of the Heaven Duo Empire about his trade with the Night Empire.

‘As expected Xie Lie got my foot in the door while Ning Fengzhi got me a seat at the table.’

Tatsuo smiled while he followed Ning closely engaging in small conversation.

“Congratulations Clan Leader Ning on reaching Rank 82 Spirit Douluo! It would seem my herbs were quite useful to you and your clan!”

“Haha Sir Zen Dragon God is too polite or should I say, Your Majesty? Yes, Your Majesty is more appropriate as the walls have ears. Your Majesty Tatsuo has done a great deed for the now Nine Treasure Gile Pragonda Clan as Uncles Chen and Bone have reached Level 97! This further bolsters the strength of both the Clan and the Empire however or messily power is nothing to Your Majesty. Your Majesty Neliel is quite beautiful! Not even the sun can outshine your radiant glow!”

“Clan Leader Ning sure has a way with words, Thank you for your kind gesture.”

Nel had a way with words that displayed her elegance and position as the Empress as she was the mate of a Dragon. She would reply to kindness with kindness and ill intent with the apocalypse. They continued with small talk as they made their way to the VIP Box where the Emperors of the two great nations and the Supreme Pontiff were seated.

Tatsuo whispered a few words to Tang Hao before they made their way toward the seats.

In the VIP Box, there was five large Throne like seats aligned to overlook the arena below the leftmost 2 seats were empty as the Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong took the center seat to her Right was the Emperor of Heaven Duo, Xue Ye, and to his Right was the Empire of Star Luo Dai Wushin.

Before we proceed we cannot forget to talk about Tatsuo and Nel’s outfits as they made rich people look like nothing more than beggars. They wore matching his and hers Haori’s made out of Golden silk. Embroidered into the cloth where a Dragon and Phoenix fighting over the Moon in the Night Sky. Tatsuo wore an English Style Crown made out of Gold with A large Diamond in the center depicting the moon with many small diamonds around it depicting the stars in the sky. While Nel wore a similar more feminine version, they walked side by side with Ning in front of them and Dugu Bo and Tang Hao at their flanks one step behind them.

Bibi Dong, Xue Ye, and Dai Wushin all look at the incoming party with interest as they were all curious about the new power that appeared out of nowhere and forced its way into the spotlight.

Bibi Dong noticed Tang Hao behind the Night Emperor and scowled.

“Your Majesty Tatsuo we have heard a lot about you from Ning Fengzhi, it’s a pleasure to meet you in person.” -Xue Ye

“Yes, I agree with His Majesty Xue Ye. Your Trade with the Raising Dragon Kingdom in my empire has caused unexpected gains.” – Dai Wushin

The Two Emperors smiled and exchanged pleasant words as Tatsuo took his seat closest to Bibi Dong with Nel to his left and Dugu Bo and Tang Hao standing behind them.

“Indeed it is nice to meet you both, but it would seem that the head of the Spirit Hall believes She is Above your two mighty empires and mine as well because despite our candid conversation she has yet to introduce herself.”

Tatsuo said this as he smiled to the Emperors and fixed his position to view the arena below.

“That man i-” -Bibi Dong

“One should introduce themselves to His Majesty before speaking to him or else your words will fall upon deaf ears”

Tang Hao said this as he stared into the Eyes of the Supreme Pontiff.
