Luo Qianshan had already seen Ye Chen's determination, so he no longer objected to Ye Chen's decision. However, he still couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
Even though he was the leader of the younger generation in the Ministry of War, he didn't expect that Ye Chen would come to the North Sea Island to train himself just for a military title.
If it were any other warrior with 100 million military credits, they would have already exchanged it for all kinds of cultivation resources to avoid wasting it.
However, Ye Chen used such a huge amount of military credits to exchange for such an illusory military title.
Of course, with a military title, one could enjoy many conveniences in the Wu Huang Dynasty.
For example, one could directly exempt a city or even a small commandery from all taxes.
Or a warrior with a military title could mobilize the masters of the Ministry of War to protect himself.
However, these privileges were of no help to the warrior's own strength.
For martial artists like Luo Qianshan, who had great ambitions, they simply didn't care about military achievements and titles.
In Luo Qianshan's opinion, Ye Chen should be like him, full of ambition for the road of cultivation, instead of focusing on the illusory military title.
Ye Chen didn't bother to explain these questions, nor did he want to.
It was really inconvenient to talk about the matter between him and Murong Xue. Ye Chen still couldn't confirm Murong Xue's identity, but he was sure that Murong Xue must be a highly respected figure in the Wu Huang Dynasty.
Therefore, even if it was for Murong Xue, Ye Chen couldn't spread the news about him and Murong Xue.
The news that Ye Chen exchanged for a military title soon shook the whole camp of the Ministry of War.
After all, it was the first time that a warrior like Ye Chen directly exchanged for a military title since the emergence of military titles. Naturally, many warriors gathered around to watch. Even the big generals were very curious about Ye Chen.
Although they were surprised, the Ministry of War was still very efficient. The news that Ye Chen exchanged for a military title was quickly reported by the Ministry of War to the imperial court.
In less than three days, the imperial court gave a reply.
This reply allowed Ye Chen to exchange for the title of Heavenly King.
In fact, the Wu Huang dynasty was not worried about people exchanging too many military titles.
In any case, no matter how many of these empty titles were exchanged, the impact on the Wu Huang dynasty would be very limited.
Moreover, this move could also consume a large amount of the martial artists' military merits and save a lot of resources for the Imperial Court. Of course, the Wu Huang dynasty would not refuse people who wanted to exchange for the title of Heavenly King.
…
Half a month later, Ye Chen, Luo Qianshan, and the others stood together in the headquarters of the Ministry of War.
Behind him, there was a large-scale teleportation formation.
Next, Ye Chen would take the Teleportation Origin Formation to leave the North Sea Star Island and return to the Imperial City of the Wu Huang dynasty.
The title of nobility in the Wu Huang dynasty, even if it was a military title, was not something that could be conferred by the Ministry of War. Only the royal family of the Wu Huang dynasty had the authority to confer the title of Heavenly King.
Ye Chen did not know many people on the North Sea Star Island, but the remaining few people were on good terms with Ye Chen.
For example, Yang Jing and Bassuid, Luo Qianshan, Man Shitou, and the others were all here at this moment to send Ye Chen off.
"Ye Chen, you go back to the Imperial City first. I think we will be there soon. We will meet again at the Imperial City." Luo Qianshan looked serious as he reminded Ye Chen.
Since Ye Chen had decided to exchange for the title of Heavenly King, Luo Qianshan had already guessed that Ye Chen must be doing something big.
Therefore, he looked so serious at this moment.
"Don't worry, everyone. We will meet again at the Imperial City." Ye Chen smiled and waved at Luo Qianshan and the others. Then, he stepped into the teleportation formation.
He had only been on the North Sea Star Island for less than a year, and now he had to rush back. This kind of life experience was indeed lamentable.
After a wave of spatial fluctuations, the scenery in front of Ye Chen changed rapidly.
This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation would cause a certain amount of damage to the cultivator's body and soul. If the cultivator was not strong enough, they might even lose their lives during this kind of teleportation.
However, this kind of teleportation was nothing to Ye Chen.
He reappeared in the manor that had been set up with the ultra-long-distance teleportation formation. At this moment, there was no one in the manor except for a few palace guards who were waiting at the side.
"Hey, he is here. I am very curious about the person who exchanged for the title of Heavenly King. I want to see who is so generous." A few palace guards chatted casually.
The news that Ye Chen had exchanged for the title of Heavenly King had not only caused a sensation on the North Sea Star Island, but it had also caused a sensation in the Imperial City.
It should be known that the Wu Huang Dynasty had not had a new Heavenly King for tens of thousands of years. Now that one had finally appeared, it was actually a Heavenly King who had obtained the title of Heavenly King. Although it was disappointing, most martialists were still very curious about Ye Chen.
"It's actually you."
When Ye Chen appeared in the teleportation formation, the palace guards were shocked when they saw Ye Chen's appearance clearly.
Many people still remembered the scene when Ye Chen had fought with the Royal Guard above the Imperial City.
Ye Chen had left a very deep impression on these royal guards.
However, this impression was not because of Ye Chen's strength, but because of Ye Chen's audacity.
"You are Ye Chen, right? I didn't expect that Taishō's personal disciple would actually choose to obtain the title of Heavenly King." A few of the royal guards shook their heads.
They knew very well that Ye Chen had left the Imperial City less than a year ago.
It was impossible for him to obtain 100 million military credits in such a short time just by fighting at the border.
Therefore, it was highly likely that the one hundred million points he had was because the Great Sage Heavenly King had given him too many treasures, which he had used to exchange for them.
If that was the case, then Ye Chen's actions were even more despicable.
The royal guards pursed their lips and did not act impolitely. They only said coldly, "Ye Gongzi, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel are already waiting for you. Let's hurry over."
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded.
He could feel that these guards were estranged from him.
Back then, when Yang Xuanji had come to the Imperial City of the Central Region from the Eastern Region, the imperial court had even sent a Heavenly King to the border of the Central Region to personally welcome Yang Xuanji. Now, Ye Chen had also become a Heavenly King, but the treatment he received was worlds apart from that of Yang Xuanji.
Fortunately, Ye Chen was already mentally prepared for this, so he did not feel uncomfortable.
The imperial court of the Wu Huang Dynasty had been perfected bit by bit over the past 100,000 years.
However, its main structure had been created by Gu Junlin back then.
The most important part of the imperial court was the Six Ministries.
Among the Six Ministries, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites were the most powerful.
Among them, the Ministry of War controlled all the experts of the Wu Huang Dynasty.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Rites controlled the sacrificial ceremonies of the entire Wu Huang Dynasty and the important task of education.
The sacrificial ceremonies of the Hidden Dragon World were not to be underestimated. The sacrificial ceremonies of the Hidden Dragon World were to worship the heavens. With the help of sacrifices, one could obtain terrifying power.
Therefore, most of the officials of the Ministry of Rites were absolute experts.
Apart from these two Ministries, the other four Ministries were much inferior.
Among the four Ministries, the Ministry of Appointments was the one with the least presence.
In theory, the Ministry of Appointments controlled the management of all the officials of the entire Wu Huang Dynasty. Even the Heavenly Kings were under the control of the Ministry of Appointments.
However, in reality, not to mention the Heavenly Kings, even the most powerful martial artists rarely listened to the orders of the Ministry of Appointments.
For many officials of the Wu Huang Dynasty, a word from the Imperial Family was more important than an appointment from the Ministry of Appointments.
Ye Chen had obtained a military title this time, so in theory, he should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Appointments. Therefore, these Imperial Family guards brought him directly to the Ministry of Appointments this time.
Just like the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Appointments was also located at the edge of the imperial palace.
Ye Chen followed the Imperial Family guards into the Ministry of Appointments. There were already several officials waiting in the main hall of the Ministry of Appointments.
