Chapter 314: Ten Thousand Sects Come to Celebrate, a 10-Mile Long Dragon!
Three days passed in a flash.
In these three days, almost half of the forces in the East Profound Domain were mobilized, either by flying shuttle or flying artifact, heading to Yanzhou from all directions.
The entire land of Yanzhou was unprecedentedly bustling.
Within Ziwei Mountain.
From the mountain gate, it was decorated with lanterns and streamers, stretching all the way upward.
And at the peak of the main mountain of the Ninth Peak, a gigantic altar rose into the clouds, exuding an ancient, timeless aura, as if it had existed for billions of years.
Various ancient carvings were etched on it, including the sun, moon, and stars, an ancient fierce beast, the Ziwei Totem, and the Divine Immortals, awe-inspiring!
In front of the mountain gate.
Various flying artifacts landed slowly, so many that they formed a continuous line of ten miles, packed tightly together!
"Gasp! That's the ancestor of the Taichu Sacred Lands. He personally came with gifts!"
"And the Patriarch of the Huyan Family, bringing all the strong members of their clan!"
"Wait! Am I mistaken... that seems to be the long-hidden Northern Sword God Yu Changfu, he came too!"
"Long River Sword Sect, Celestial Yang Divine Mansion, Profound Celestial Sect, Primordial Capital Sacred Lands, Qinghui Sacred Lands... oh heavens! Too many, too many!"
"This is incredible! In the whole East Profound Domain, there are countless sects, surely at least half came this time?"
"This change of the Ziwei Chen Family's leader is such a grand occasion!"
The loose cultivators who specially came to join the excitement couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
Those valuable flying dharma treasures dazzled their eyes.
The heads of various major powers, usually as elusive as dragons, and even the ancestral elders, stepped down from their flying dharma treasures in succession, leaving everyone dazzled!
It's not their first time witnessing a power of Ziwei Chen Family's level changing its leader. Although some also announce it to the world, at most, only a few close sects would come to congratulate.
When else have there been ten miles of congratulatory scenes like this?
"Huyan Family, presents a pair of Ten Thousand Year Coral Crystal, congratulating Ziwei!"
"Taichu Sacred Lands, presents a hundred jin of Celestial Dragon Chen Sand, congratulating Ziwei!"
"Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, presents a Spirit Stone Vein, ten heavenly materials and earthly treasures, a hundred jin of nine-threaded cold star iron, a pair of Qilin Ancient Jade, Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence...! Congratulating Ziwei!!!"
As the elder responsible for recording the gifts sang out a long note,
Chen Tianchen, in charge of the reception, smiled and invited the guests into Ziwei Mountain one by one.
"Celestial Wave Sacred Lands is so generous! Just one Spirit Stone Vein is worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones, right?"
The eyes of the loose cultivators shifted to Qin Tianzhong, the Saint Master of the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands who had specially dressed up today, looking radiant, leaving them dumbfounded.
Celestial Wave Sacred Lands isn't just here to give gifts, they're practically giving away their entire treasury!
"Saint Master Qin, this gift is too heavy, this is absolutely unthinkable."
Chen Tianchen quickly stepped forward, respectfully cupping his hands toward Qin Tianzhong.
"Why so formal with me?"
Qin Tianzhong waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't forget, Zhixing is not only the new master of the Ziwei Chen Family but also the Divine Son of my Celestial Wave Sacred Lands! How could this old man not give some gifts to his own Divine Son?"
"This..." Chen Tianchen couldn't help but smile at these words, "Senior is right, then I'll thank you on behalf of Zhixing."
"Someone, lead Senior Qin and the friends from Celestial Wave Sacred Lands to the first seat!"
Time passed slowly. The people who came with gifts were endless.
"Senior Lu, why have you come?"
Chen Tianchen's eyes lit up as he looked at the middle-aged man in linen clothes beside him, quickly walking up to greet him.
This person was none other than Lu Yuan, a Nirvana Great Power who once intended to betroth Chen Zhixing to Chen Daoyan!
"Six years, just a snap of fingers."
"I never imagined such great changes would occur in these short six years."
Lu Yuan looked up at Ziwei's Nine Peaks and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Who would have thought that the Third Young Master, who was decadent on the outside and rotten inside, could reverse the situation and stand atop the hundred floors, becoming a top Great Power of the current era in just six years?
Behind him, the once proud and sharp Lu Ying, who publicly rejected the Chen Family in the hall, now had her hair coiled at the back, her belly protruding, evidently pregnant.
Her youthful arrogance had disappeared, replaced by the maturity and weariness left by time.
Beside her stood an unremarkable man, cautiously instructing Lu Ying to be careful.
This was her Dao partner.
Not some heavenly pride or noble family's scion.
Lu Ying, who once yearned to marry a heavenly pride, ultimately chose simplicity, opting for compromise.
"Please, this way,"
Chen Tianchen gestured with a smile, indicating for them to enter.
The group nodded and entered Ziwei Mountain.
Time passed slowly until that ten-mile-long procession finally ended.
Boom—!
Suddenly.
In the sky, the endless void twisted!
Streams of Flying Immortal Light sliced through the sky like a meteor shower.
"What is that...?"
Countless loose cultivators standing outside the mountain gate simultaneously raised their heads, looking skyward.
Rumble~~!
Three Immortal Gates condensed slowly in the sky!
The next moment.
Three figures simultaneously stepped out from the Immortal Gates.
"Celestial Saint Palace comes to observe the ceremony, presenting a pair of Ten Thousand Year Ice Coral, congratulating the Ziwei Chen Family, congratulating Chen Zhixing!"
"Immortal Ascension Sect comes to observe the ceremony, presenting a hundred jin of Phoenix True Feathers, a pure-blooded barbaric relic species, congratulating the Ziwei Chen Family, congratulating Chen Zhixing!"
"Daluo Taoist Lands comes to observe the ceremony, presenting ten heavenly materials and earthly treasures, congratulating the Ziwei Chen Family, congratulating Chen Zhixing!!"
As the three figures spoke simultaneously, their voices thundered like rolling thunder, shaking the entire Ziwei Nine Peaks.
In an instant.
The entire Ziwei Chen Family's mountain gate exploded with excitement!
The Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, standing atop the clouds, looking down upon all beings.
When did they ever send people to the Lower Realm to offer congratulations?
In no time, major clans from all over Yanzhou and even the East Profound Domain gathered here. Ziwei Mountain Gate, crowded with noble families and Great Powers like rain, truly fulfilled the saying:
'Ziwei is covered in glory!'
...
...
Meanwhile.
The Third Peak.
Chen Zhixing stood in front of a copper mirror, looking at himself in the mirror.
Behind him.
Biluo gently draped an imperial robe embroidered with black Ziwei flowers over Chen Zhixing, then fastened the gilded jade belt around his waist.
Finally, Biluo stood on tiptoe to place a twelve-tasseled crown on Chen Zhixing.
"All done."
Biluo clapped her hands, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes.
The young master of her house, truly handsome.
Chen Zhixing nodded, then took a deep breath and looked out toward the great hall.
The entire Ziwei Nine Peaks were already packed, completely full.
Countless people eagerly awaiting the start of the ascension ceremony!
Without any hesitation.
Chen Zhixing strode out of the great hall.
