Today is Ye Chen's coronation ceremony, with heroes from all ten realms attending.
Lingyun is the face of Baihua Palace, handling all major and minor affairs, and she would never harm anyone unless absolutely necessary.
However, Lingyun not only struck out but also severely injured someone, indicating a major incident!
"Someone publicly slandered Lingyun, claiming she had an affair with him, and even called her a slut. Lingyun retaliated and crippled him!" Qi Li explained.
"Where is that person?" Ye Chen asked.
"What do you plan to do?" Qi Li asked.
"I'm going to kill him!" Ye Chen declared.
...
Lingyun was his woman. Could Ye Chen refrain from killing someone who slandered her?
"Ye Chen, we need to go. The ceremony is about to begin, and you are the main protagonist; you must meet the heroes!" Qi Li reminded.
"Wait a moment." Ye Chen said. "I need to ask you something!"
"Huh?" Qi Li was surprised. "What is it?"
"Am I handsome?" Ye Chen asked, flicking his long sleeves.
...
Ye Chen's good looks were off the charts, and at this moment, dressed in a nine-dragon robe, he radiated authority and dignity, making him undeniably handsome.
However, Qi Li did not want to answer this question because it was too ridiculous!
"Ye Chen, let's go, stop this nonsense!" Qi Li urged.
"Qi Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I really have something to ask!" Ye Chen said, stepping forward and grabbing Qi Li's hand.
"What is it?" Qi Li asked patiently.
"Am I handsome?" Ye Chen asked.
"Handsome!" Qi Li reluctantly admitted the truth.
"I'm so handsome, don't you feel anything?" Ye Chen smiled.
"Everyone is waiting for you!" Qi Li said, feeling helpless.
"I have one more question!" Ye Chen said seriously.
"No need to ask!" Qi Li said. "Ye Chen, you really are very handsome, the most handsome in the world, is that enough for you?"
"That's not what I wanted to ask!" Ye Chen said.
"What exactly do you want?" Qi Li exclaimed in frustration.
The coronation ceremony was about to begin, and everyone was waiting. But if the main character, Ye Chen, did not appear, it would seem like Baihua Palace was being neglectful, arousing everyone's discontent.
"Did anyone from Southern Barbarian Palace and Holy Flame Palace come?" Ye Chen asked.
"Yes!" Qi Li answered.
"Who came?" Ye Chen asked.
"Southern Barbarian Palace is led by Lingtian, and Holy Flame Palace by Lingxi. Both are invincible masters!" Qi Li said. "However, these two have grudges against each other, fighting wherever they go, and have become arch-rivals by now!"
"Lingtian? Lingxi? They really came!" Ye Chen was stunned.
Ye Chen came to Canglan Realm originally to find his parents and harshly criticize them.
However, for various reasons, Ye Chen had been lying low, delaying his quest until now.
But Ye Chen had been in this realm for a long time, and Ye Father and Ye Mother had been searching for him all along!
Although they hadn't met, they were still concerned about each other!
At this moment, in this highly anticipated event, they had come to find him!
"Did they come by coincidence, or have they already sensed it?" Ye Chen muttered.
Ye Chen had been suppressing his bloodline, preventing them from tracing the cause and effect to find him.
However, Ye Lingtian and Lingxi were not weak, and both were highly intelligent, possibly finding clues to his whereabouts. Besides, Ye Chen had met Holy Flame Ancestor and Ye Tianshi, and if Ye Father and Ye Mother had met Saints, they could easily track his movements.
"Since returning from the Voidland, I always wanted to find you, but never had the time," Ye Chen said. "But now that you've come looking for me, I am at a loss!"
"How should I face you?"
Ye Lingtian and Lingxi were vastly different; their union was a mistake from the start.
Since their union was a mistake, Ye Chen's birth was an error!
They did not care for Ye Chen, and he did not depend on them. Their relationship was only by blood, with no emotional connection, almost like strangers.
If they truly recognize each other, how would they face each other?
"Ye Chen, what's wrong with you?" Qi Li asked.
After Ye Chen asked her a question, he fell into a daze, which made Qi Li very curious. She had never seen Ye Chen like this before.
"It's nothing, I was just frightened by the tens of thousands of people out there!" Ye Chen snapped out of it and forced a smile.
"What's the matter with tens of thousands of people?" Qi Li said. "Don't you aim to become the emperor of the nine heavens, ruling over the myriad worlds? If you truly reach that point, tens of thousands are but a drop in the ocean!"
"Haha, you're quite good at comforting people!" Ye Chen laughed.
Qi Li was like an elder sister, always caring for him, which made Ye Chen's heart warm and gave him a sense of happiness.
"Alright, stop delaying, let's go out quickly. Everyone is waiting for you!" Qi Li said.
"Wait a moment, I have one more thing!" Ye Chen said.
"Will you ever finish? What else do you need?" Qi Li was truly speechless, Ye Chen was a troublemaker with many trivial issues!
"It's a massive crowd out there, I'm a bit scared, can you calm my nerves?" Ye Chen pulled Qi Li over.
...
The Baihua Palace was bustling, the Twelve Golden Needles were welcoming guests, settling cultivators who came to watch the ceremony.
Saint Jue Qing was seated high above the nine heavens, surrounded by over a dozen figures, all exuding the power of the Holy Path and coexisting with her.
"The Baihua Palace is merely enfeoffing a Saint Heir, unexpectedly disturbing you all. My apologies for any lack of hospitality!" Saint Jue Qing said.
Today, the Baihua Palace was absolutely the center of attention, not only attracting tens of thousands of cultivators to observe the ceremony but also bringing in over a dozen Saints.
A mere enfeoffment of a Saint Heir attracted a group of Saints, which greatly surprised Jue Qing, even making her feel somewhat flattered.
"Haha, we came uninvited, as long as you don't chase us away, there's no need for hospitality!" A Saint laughed.
The speaker was a majestic man exuding an ancient aura, resembling a Dragon Tiger God, intimidating to behold.
This person was the Dragon Tiger Sage, the foremost Sage of the Yutian Sect, an exceptionally powerful Sage King!
"Dragon Tiger Sage, aren't you in retreat, striving to become a Great Saint? Why did you descend to Baihua Palace to witness the enfeoffment ceremony?" Saint Jue Qing asked.
"Striving to become a Great Saint is no easy task," Dragon Tiger Sage laughed. "I merely wander under the guise of cultivation. However, the arrival of Tianyi Sage truly surprised me!"
"Dragon Tiger, why drag me into your conversation with Jue Qing?" a female Saint frowned.
"Tianyi, you have faded from the mortal realm, retreating into the Holy Land for deep cultivation all these years. Have you already become a Great Saint?"
Dragon Tiger Sage looked at Tianyi Sage, his greatest adversary, the absolute ruler of the Primordial Holy Land.
"Are you so afraid of me surpassing you?" Tianyi Sage sneered.
"My Dragon Tiger Path is nearing perfection; surpassing me won't be easy!" Dragon Tiger Sage said.
"Ha, your Dragon Tiger Path?" Saintess Tianyi said indifferently. "Though I haven't achieved Great Saint status, I can still defeat you!"
Tianyi Sage was also a Human King, even older than Dragon Tiger Sage. However, Tianyi and Dragon Tiger held deep animosity, always fighting when they met, seemingly unending.
"Enough!" A Saint spoke up, making the two stop. "We are here at Baihua Palace to witness the ceremony, not to fight. Both of you, curb your actions!"
...
The speaking Saint was extremely old, with white hair, eyebrows, and beard, appearing ancient and frail.
However, after he spoke, both Dragon Tiger Sage and Tianyi Sage settled down.
There were thirteen Saints present, none were Great Saints, but three were Sage Kings! Dragon Tiger was a Human King, Tianyi was a Human King, and this old Saint was one too!
However, the old Saint's seniority surpassed everyone, his strength also outmatched all, he was Saint Chen Yun, a peerless existence who conversed with Great Saints and joked with Saints!
"Senior Chen Yun, did you come to Baihua Palace also to watch the ceremony?" Saint Jue Qing regarded him as an elder.
Saint Chen Yun's seniority was immensely ancient, his cultivation was invincible. However, he was a tragic figure, as his beloved perished, his cultivation never advanced, halted at the Human King Realm.
If not for being trapped by love, Saint Chen Yun would have surely achieved Great Saint status, likely no weaker than Dragon Esteem!
Yet, Chen Yun was merely a free-spirited wanderer, never establishing any force or joining any power. Why did he come?
"I don't know why, I simply follow my heart, move according to circumstances, and felt like coming here!" Saint Chen Yun smiled.
"I see!" Saint Jue Qing nodded.
"Saint Jue Qing, today is the enfeoffment ceremony for the Saint Heir, why hasn't the protagonist appeared?" A Saint approached, it was Sage Dao Yi.
"He must face champions from across the realms, now he's adjusting his state!" Saint Jue Qing said. "Why? Did your cultivation advance, and you want to challenge him?"
Sage Dao Yi wanted to pressure Ye Chen, but ended up beaten till he begged for mercy, kneeling and calling Ye Chen grandfather, seeking forgiveness.
This matter had been hushed, but Saint Jue Qing witnessed it, leaving a profound memory.
"Without the Dragon God set and Dragon Esteem's deterrent, how could Ye Chen be my match?" Sage Dao Yi sneered. "Moreover, this time, gathering geniuses, some ancient prodigies may emerge. Dealing with Ye Chen, a mere youngster, doesn't require my intervention!"
