Mo Rongbai continued: "I believe that if the Saintess hadn't ascended with unparalleled talent a fortnight ago, no one would still know that the Heaven-breaking Stele is such a powerful artifact. Moreover, it seems that whoever possesses the Celestial Stele will possess the world, so why would the Saint Emperor miss this opportunity?"
"Exactly!" Xiao Jiu said lightly: "The reason the Saint Emperor didn't trouble Ye Qingcheng a fortnight ago is because he knows that if the Saintess doesn't hand over the Celestial Stele Technique, then the Heaven-breaking Stele is just a stone, without any place for eternal martial!"
"Are you saying that he is letting us stay here to try to extract the Celestial Stele Technique?" Di Tian interjected.
Xiao Jiu retorted sarcastically: "What a noble status you have, would you still talk to us ordinary people like this?"
Xiao Jiu had no fondness for Di Tian, as Di Tian had rebuked Xiao Jiu several tis, questioning what status Xiao Jiu had to talk to him in such a manner? In response, Xiao Jiu was rely returning the favor.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's expression beca quite unpleasant, yet he was speechless, seemingly as Xiao Jiu said.
"Enough! Don't talk anymore!" At this mont, Di Yun spoke softly: "Regarding this matter, I have already sent a letter to Father, and I believe he will arrive soon. Once Father arrives, our lives will be secured!"
Swish, swish, swish~
Upon hearing this, the gazes of Broken Blade, Ye Qingcheng, and others fell on Di Yun, revealing a hint of eccentricity. Clearly, none of them knew how Di Yun managed to send the letter out, but Di Yun did not explain.
Then, he looked at Ye Qingcheng and continued: "Since the Saintess is the Saintess of the Haotian Sect in the Celestial Capital, and the Haotian Sect is under the jurisdiction of my Father, should the Saintess hand over the Celestial Stele Technique?"
Tsk, tsk~
Xiao Jiu interjected: "It seems the Prince Di Yun has ulterior motives!"
"I am stating the facts!" Di Yun showed a hint of displeasure towards Xiao Jiu, while Xiao Jiu said: "I see you're also greedy for the Heaven-breaking Stele, but unfortunately, that's sothing the Saintess obtained by ascending with unparalleled talent. It's not sothing that can be handed over just because you want it to be!"
"You have no qualification to speak to
like this!" Di Yun snorted coldly.
"Another arrogant one!" Xiao Jiu smiled wryly: "Even if the Saintess hands over the Celestial Stele Technique, I'm afraid she won't give it to you, will she, Eldest Prince!"
These words were clearly Xiao Jiu deliberately sowing discord.
"That's right!" As expected, Di Tian snorted coldly: "In the Celestial Capital, I am Father's legitimate line and the future heir to the imperial throne. You seem to lack the qualification to possess the Celestial Stele Technique!"
"A bunch of shaless people!" Ye Qingcheng spoke coldly and then turned away from the scene, entering her chamber for closed-door cultivation. The Heaven-breaking Stele was obtained by her destined mandate; how could it be so easily handed over?
Does this an that Ye Qingcheng has to obey the Celestial Emperor's orders because she cultivates in the Haotian Sect? To her, Ye Qingcheng, it's fundantally impossible, especially as she exchanged her life for the Celestial Stele, how could it be so easily given away?
...
Next morning.
On this day, outside the court hall of the Holy Capital, the steps were crowded with people. Countless strong individuals ca to congratulate the enfeoffnt ceremony, everyone knowing that after today, Saint Potian would beco the Crown Prince of the Holy Capital.
The Crown Prince is the heir to the imperial throne, and as long as Saint Potian ascends to Emperor Level one day, the vast Holy Capital will beco his world. Moreover, Saint Potian has great ambition, and once he ascends the throne, he will not be content to rule only one land.
Currently, representatives from the Demon Sect, the Great Ming Immortal Sect, Jiuxian Immortal Sect, as well as Haotian Sect and Holy Celestial Sect have all gathered in the Imperial Palace Hall; clearly, only those first-class forces have the qualification to attend the ceremony in the Imperial Palace Hall.
Not only that, but now the entire royal palace is guarded by hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, magnificently intimidating, oozing Evil Qi.
This day, the Holy Capital is destined to be a sensation nationwide, with many extraordinary individuals stepping into the royal palace to extend their congratulations, each taking step by step into the palace, these all being mbers of the royal family.
Just then, there was an additional seat next to the throne in front of the Imperial Palace Hall. This seat, it goes without saying, is the Crown Prince's seat.
"Saint Potian has arrived!" soone exclaid.
Swish, swish, swish~
Everyone within the hall turned their gaze, seeing a young man in a yellow brocade robe, on which a dragon was vividly embroidered. Moreover, this young man appeared even more heroic with the robe's embellishnt.
This person was a leading figure among the younger generation at the Peak in the Holy Capital, Saint Potian.
After today, Saint Potian will beco the Crown Prince of the Holy Capital, the future ruler, the most powerful person in the Holy Capital.
However, representatives from the Demon Sect, Haotian Sect, Great Ming Immortal Sect, Jiuxian Immortal Sect eyed smugly, each with their own thoughts, knowing they had been under surveillance these days.
Everyone knew the reason behind the surveillance; it was rely because the Holy Capital didn't want information about the Heaven-breaking Stele to leak out, and, of course, no one knew what the results would be.
Soon, the gazes of these individuals fell on Ye Qingcheng, as she possessed the Heaven-breaking Stele, and even Saint Potian noticed but rely smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.
Before long, under the sacredly powerful ancient imperial palace, various forces made way, and soon a figure strode into the hall. The person wore a dragon robe, with eyes containing a hint of commanding aura, and even his steps exuded a terrible imperial majesty.
Clearly, this person was the hero who controlled the Holy Capital, the Saint Emperor.
Following that, under everyone's gaze, the Saint Emperor ca to the front of the dragon throne and sat down slowly, his eyes sweeping over the hall's crowd, remaining authoritative.
After the Saint Emperor sat down, the hall's ministers, along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the palace, kneeled uniformly on one knee, performing the saluting ceremony, their voices quaking the heavens and earth: "Attend to the Saint Emperor!"
After the voices fell, various forces also clasped their fists in respect, considering the opposite as one of the five Great Emperors of the Immortal Realm, the Saint Emperor, whose imperial majesty was unyielding.
However, Ye Qingcheng still stood there straight.
To Ye Qingcheng, she saw no need to bow, and did not understand the mundane rituals of the Immortal Realm, as she hailed from Huaxia of modern Earth.
On Earth, such courtesies had been abolished for a century, let alone her own cold arrogance, maintaining her pride even in the Immortal Realm.
Hm?
The Saint Emperor's gaze landed on Ye Qingcheng, frowning slightly, sowhat surprised, but ultimately did not dwell on it.
Then, the Saint Emperor spoke calmly: "It is an honor for the Empire to have you all traverse over billions of miles!"
"Saint Emperor, you're too kind!" Luoyun Sect of the Great Ming Immortal Sect smiled: "Now we are one family, essential courtesies naturally remain!"
