The coronation ceremony in the Divine Wind Empire was quite simple and concluded quickly. The Imperial Family designated Luoshui City, along with the entire mountain range containing Xialuo Mountain, as King Yun's territory.
Within King Yun's territory, he could conduct free trade, produce his own gold and silver, enact his own laws, and had the right to appoint and dismiss the territory's City Lords and officials at will. All these provisions combined effectively made Nie Yun's territory a kingdom within a kingdom!
In order to centralize power, the Empire didn't even grant territories to its princes; all land was under the control of the Royal Family. To now give Nie Yun a kingdom within a kingdom clearly demonstrated the Imperial Family's stance.
Nie Yun paid little mind to the Imperial Family's attempts to curry favor. Once the coronation ceremony ended, he left the Imperial Palace under the guidance of a minister who was at the Peak of Qi Sect.
