The next day.
Immortal Emperor Su Chen ascended the throne in the Lingxiao Palace and his majestic voice spread throughout the entire Immortal Cultivation World. The Immortal Path to Heaven that had been broken in the past was reborn overnight and appeared in every corner of the Vast Thousand Domains. The Star Path was reopened and the path to the Immortal World was no longer full of difficulties and obstacles.
Countless cultivators, whether they wanted to witness the ascension of the new Immortal Emperor or wanted to get some Immortal Fate in the Immortal World and seek the Dao, all rushed to the Immortal World.
There were still two hours before the Immortal Emperor ascended the throne.
At this time, Su Chen had just woken up on a large bed in the Jade Lake Immortal Palace.
Looking at his beautiful wife beside him, Su Chen could not help but smile brightly.
Last night, he had brought his wives to the Immortal World and stayed in the Jade Lake Immortal Palace. As for the ascension, he had left it all to Nangong Yaoguang. She was quite authoritative in the Immortal World. Although letting an outsider like Su Chen inherit the throne would definitely not be approved by the majority of Immortal experts, Nangong Yaoguang must have a way to deal with it.
As the Immortal King of a generation, the adoptive mother of the Flame Emperor, and the current ruler of the Immortal World in name, Nangong Yaoguang had reached the peak in both strength and means. As long as she was loyal to Su Chen, Su Chen did not need to worry about the rest.
He just needed to wait for the ascension to the throne with peace of mind.
"I've been the Emperor of the mortal world before. Now that I'm going to be the Emperor of the Immortal World, it's quite interesting."
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from nowhere.
Time seemed to have stopped.
Su Chen did not even need to look to know who had come.
"Candle Dragon, don't you think I've done a good job?" Su Chen said with a smile.
The Candle Dragon pushed the door open and entered.
She frowned.
This brat could actually ignore her time laws. No wonder that woman, Nangong Yaoguang, listened to Su Chen so obediently. She was probably already intimidated by Su Chen's strength.
"Origin level Time Law … It seems that you have obtained a lot of opportunities in the Heavenly Truth Pagoda. I really should congratulate you."
The Candle Jiuyin smiled as he walked to the bed and sat down. Looking at the mess on the bed, he could not help but say, "You should take it easy too. Even if you have an indestructible body, you'll be hollowed out in the long run."
Su Chen chuckled and said, "Those who have no desires are immortals, but I, Su Chen, want to become the Immortal Emperor. Since I want to rule the Three Realms, how can I have no desires?"
"Forget it, I don't want to interfere with your private life, but what's going on with Nangong Yaoguang?
How did you manage to tame that woman to such an extent? "
"Of course, I'll use my powerful charisma."
"But you have to understand that this woman's background is not simple. She has a close relationship with the Land of Primordial Demons. If you keep her by your side, I'm afraid that something will happen." The Candle Jiuyin said with a serious expression.
Su Chen shrugged and said, "So what? Whether it's the Land of Primordial Demons or the Land of Stars, to me, they are all existences that I can't afford to offend. Since I can't afford to offend them, I might as well not offend any of them. Isn't it good to be a neutral party?"
After hearing Su Chen's words, the Candle Jiuyin fell silent for a long time.
"I can understand your thoughts, but some things are not as simple as you think. In the Chaos, there is no such thing as harmonious coexistence. If you want to stick to both sides, the final result may disappoint you."
Perhaps he could sense the sincerity in the Candle Dragon's tone, Su Chen's attitude was no longer frivolous. He said seriously, "I'm not that noble. I, Su Chen, have done everything for myself from the beginning to the end. I want my family and myself to live a better life. Therefore, I can't make a choice easily because any choice is risky. However, as long as I don't choose, I still have the right to choose."
"You … are far smarter than I thought."
Su Chen laughed self-deprecatingly. "This is only the wisdom of the weak. If I were strong enough, I wouldn't even need to consider so much."
"Do you want to take a look at the Land of Stars?" The Candle Jiuyin suddenly asked.
He finally took the bait.
Su Chen smiled and said, "That's up to you."
"After you completely control the Immortal World, I will pick a day to take you to the Land of Stars."
With that, the Candle Jiuyin disappeared.
Time returned to normal. The madams woke up from their beds and started to dress up.
After all, today was the big day for Su Chen to ascend to the throne. After Su Chen ascended to the throne, they would become the Immortal World's imperial concubines. Naturally, they had to be more grand.
It was much more convenient for Su Chen. He didn't even need to prepare clothes. Wearing his Flowing Light Phantom, he was the most eye-catching person wherever he went.
There was still an hour before the coronation began.
Nangong Yaoguang came to Su Chen and brought a seven or eight-year-old little boy with her.
This little boy looked ordinary, but he had a unique spiritual aura around him. In his eyes, a strange fire was dancing.
"Is he the reincarnation of the Flame Emperor?"
Nangong Yaoguang nodded. "Actually, when the Flame Emperor was reincarnated, I found his whereabouts immediately. Unfortunately, the Flame Emperor's true spirit was severely injured and couldn't awaken his memories of his past life. Thus, I personally sealed him and hid him in a place where no one knows."
"Speaking of which, I'm quite curious. Who was the one who beat the Flame Emperor so badly that he had no choice but to reincarnate?" Su Chen asked.
Nangong Yaoguang seemed to have thought of something. Fear flashed across her eyes, and she only calmed down after a while.
"It was an emissary from the Ashes who tried to persuade the Flame Emperor to submit to the Ashes. The Flame Emperor refused and fought a bloody battle with the emissary. Since then, I have used my contract with the Primordial Demon Land to request Lady Vivian to seal the Immortal Realm completely so that the Ashes' power can no longer infiltrate the Immortal Realm."
So that was the case. He didn't expect the person who sealed the Immortal World back then to be Vivian.
"What's the contract between you and Vivian?" Su Chen asked again.
Nangong Yaoguang said, "To be honest, Yaoguang isn't actually from the Primordial Universe. My ancestor is a benefactor of the Land of Primordial Demons. He was sent to the Primordial Universe a long time ago to hide his identity and observe the situation. He also gathered useful information and passed it to the higher-ups. Lord Vivian is my higher-ups."
Good fellow, so she's an enemy family.
However, according to what she said, Vivian was the real villain behind the scenes. He didn't know how many years she had been monitoring the Primordial Universe. Her understanding of the Primordial Universe probably surpassed his own.
The next time he saw Vivian, he must teach her a lesson.
"Lord, I have a request. I hope you can allow the Flame Emperor's reincarnation to continue staying in the Immortal World." Nangong Yaoguang looked at Su Chen apprehensively.
"Hmm … Logically speaking, it shouldn't be done. However, the Flame Emperor was willing to pay such a heavy price to reject the messenger of the Ashes. I respect him as a man, so it's not a big problem to make an exception."
The Twelve Ancestral Sorcerer Plan … Interesting.
