1233 Immortal Monarch's Dominion
Xi Meili returned to Yuan's room a couple of minutes after she left.
"Yuan, my mother will be waiting for you in the courtyard," she notified him.
"Alright. Thank you."
He proceeded to make his way to the courtyard. Of course, having nothing better to do, Xi Meili and the others followed him.
Once they arrived at the courtyard, they could see Xi Mingze casually standing on the sparring stage.
"Welcome, Yuan. I hope you had a good rest." Xi Mingze greeted him with a charming smile on her beautiful face as he made his way onto the stage.
"I did. Thank you for taking the time to train me even though you're in the middle of something major."
"Don't even mention it. We are pretty much finished with the biggest issues and our investigations. In our current state, we need to take things slowly, since we have two more cities to deal with." Xi Mingze said.
"Anyways, let's talk about your Dragon's Authority, shall we?"
Yuan nodded.
"As my husband had already mentioned, Dragon's Authority is a superior version of Dragon's Gaze, allowing you to command the dragon race as long as they have a weaker bloodline than you. With that being said, you're a human without a dragon's bloodline, so I am not exactly sure how things will work out for you, as I have never heard of such a thing before. Though, since it worked before, I don't think there'll be any problems for you."
"And since you clearly haven't mastered the technique, I am going to help you. It's quite simple, really. You will use Dragon's Authority on me until you have complete control over it. Normally it would require millennials to master such a technique, but knowing your heaven-defying talents, I have confidence that you'll be able to master it within months if not weeks."

He shook his head.
"Good. Then you may begin whenever you are ready." Xi Mingze proceeded to mentally prepare herself for his Dragon's Authority.
Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes to recall how he felt when he first used Dragon's Authority by accident. When he reopened his eyes a few moments later, they gleamed with a profound golden hue, radiating an overwhelming and authoritative aura.
The ambiance in the vicinity underwent an abrupt transformation, as if a divine presence had descended upon the surroundings.
Xi Mingze's body trembled in awe when she met Yuan's profound gaze. Despite having mentally prepared herself, she still found it difficult to withstand its pressure and allure.
'This will be good training for me, as well…' She thought to herself.
As Yuan continued to use Dragon's Authority on Xi Mingze, he could feel his mastery over it quickly improve.
Xi Mingze had anticipated that her training with Yuan would span several weeks if not months. However, by the day's end, Yuan had already achieved a complete mastery of Dragon's Authority.
Ding!
<You have learned Immortal Monarch's Dominion>
[Immortal Monarch's Dominion]
[Rank: Supreme]
[Mastery Level: 1]
[Description: A divine technique wielded by the Immortal Monarch, enabling him to exert dominion over any creature upon which his gaze falls.]
"Huh?" Yuan was taken aback as the notification displayed a technique name different from what he had anticipated.
"Immortal Monarch's Dominion? What happened to Dragon's Authority?" Yuan mumbled in a dumbfounded voice.
"What's the matter?" Xi Mingze asked him when she noticed his weird expression.
"Uh... It's somewhat difficult to put into words, but it appears I haven't been training in Dragon's Authority," Yuan admitted with a perplexed tone.
"What do you mean?" Xi Mingze tilted her head in a puzzled manner.
"I understand the concept of Dragon's Authority, which commands dragons, but do you know of a technique surpassing it? One that exerts dominion over all creatures in the world?" Yuan inquired with curiosity.
"A technique superior to Dragon's Authority? Commanding all creatures in the world?" Xi Mingze was speechless.
Yuan nodded, "I believe my 'Dragon's Authority' is actually something different, and it allows me to command beasts beyond dragons."
Xi Mingze began pondering with a serious expression on her face.
"I recall reading a particular scroll in the family library long ago that recounted the tale of a man from ancient times possessing such an ability—
the capability to command all the creatures of the world. However, its accuracy is dubious at best."
Xi Mingze looked at Yuan with a nervous face as she inquired, "Are you suggesting that your 'Dragon's Authority' possesses such a remarkable capability? Do you comprehend the weight of the assertion you're making?"
"I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm serious."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I'm not accusing you of falsehood," Xi Mingze suddenly added, "but if I am to persuade myself that such an ability truly exists, I must witness it firsthand with my own eyes."
Yuan smiled, "I understand completely, and I don't blame you."
He proceeded to turn his head to look at Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying, who were sitting not far away from the stage.
"Feng Feng, Yingying, do you mind coming on the stage for a quick experiment?"
"It would be my honor to assist you, Young Master!" Feng Yuxiang exclaimed enthusiastically as she stepped forward toward the stage.
"I also don't mind." Lan Yingying said as she followed behind Feng Yuxiang.
"Hm? What's happening?" Xi Meili was intrigued by the sudden turn of events and also made her way to the stage, wondering what they were going to do.
Once they were on the stage, Yuan asked them, "I am going to use Dragon's Authority on you two to see if it works on creatures beyond dragons. Do you mind?"
"You can do anything you want to me, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang responded in a teasing tone.
Lan Yingying calmly nodded in silence, agreeing with her.
"What makes you think it'll work on creatures beyond dragons?" Xi Meili asked out of curiosity.
"Just a hunch." He smiled mysteriously.
After giving Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying a moment to prepare themselves, Yuan looked at Feng Yuxiang and asked her, "I will start with you. Are you ready?"
She nodded with a serious expression.
"I am ready."
