Chapter 37: Revealing Celestial Power – A Calculated Ascension to the Throne
In the face of increasing political manoeuvring and impending chaos, Xia Tian finally decided to unleash his celestial might. The time for subtlety had passed. It was now a matter of consolidating power, ensuring no rival dared to challenge his authority as he ascended the throne of Great Xia.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
As his advisors debated strategies to counter First Prince Xia Qian and Ninth Prince Xia Wuyi, Xia Tian remained contemplative. His heart leaned toward direct action, utilising his Celestial Immortal power to sweep aside all opposition.
“Why waste time on schemes when I can crush all resistance in an instant?” Xia Tian thought. His concerns, however, centred on the attention this move might draw from other celestial beings or hidden threats within the empire.

Interrupting the bickering of his advisors, Xia Tian spoke decisively. “No further discussions are needed. I have made my choice.”
As the words left his lips, a faint golden aura began to emanate from him. In an instant, the atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically. The advisors, who had moments ago been absorbed in their debate, were now struck with an overwhelming sense of awe and terror.
Xia Tian’s aura expanded, filling the room with a pressure so intense it seemed the very fabric of space trembled under its weight. His Celestial Immortal essence, honed to perfection, radiated with the density and gravitas of a star, bending the environment around him.
Several of the advisors fell to their knees, their foreheads nearly touching the ground as they struggled to breathe. The sheer presence of Xia Tian’s power created an illusion of standing beneath an unmovable, ancient mountain.
“Your Highness…” one advisor stammered, barely able to form coherent words. “You… are a divine being?”

Xia Tian’s show of strength was deliberate but measured. Even this controlled display carried the weight of a celestial body. Were he to fully unleash his power, the surrounding area would collapse under the force, creating a gravitational singularity akin to a black hole.
As a Celestial Immortal, Xia Tian’s physical body and essence possessed an unparalleled density. His mere presence could distort space-time, a phenomenon observable only in beings who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
The shock quickly turned to awe. It dawned on the advisors that Xia Tian was not merely a prince. He was a celestial being whose power transcended mortal understanding. For the advisors, this revelation transformed Xia Tian from a contender for the throne into an unstoppable force of nature.
“This is the beginning of a new era for Great Xia,” one advisor murmured. “With His Highness on the throne, our empire will rise to heights unseen in history.”
While his advisors knelt in awe, Xia Tian contemplated his next move. He understood that revealing his power was a double-edged sword. It would secure his position in the empire but might also attract the attention of celestial forces beyond the Jiuzhou World.
Still, the benefits outweighed the risks:
Securing Absolute Authority: By demonstrating his unmatched power, Xia Tian eliminated any doubt among his followers and struck fear into his rivals.
Establishing Legitimacy: His celestial nature aligned perfectly with the traditional belief that rulers were chosen by the heavens.
Accelerating His Plans: With his rivals subdued and his position secure, Xia Tian could focus on his ultimate goal—consolidating power across the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao.
