129: Chapter 128 Zhang Zhenren's Questioning

The King's Coronation Ceremony went very smoothly.

Ye Xiu could feel that since his formal coronation, the world seemed to have become extremely friendly toward him.

Spiritual Qi and the Great Dao were very close to him, as if he had obtained an Innate Dao Body.

This was something that had never happened before.

Aside from that.

After the last coronation, the entire blade of the wangquan sword seemed to have been consecrated, connecting it to the Luck of Great Xia.

The power of Luck faintly emanating from it was not much.

But compared to the previous purple qi, it was much more Advanced.

Upon the Sun.

Ye Xiu had the wangquan sword planted in front of him.

A steady stream of Luck surged out from it.

That terrifying Dao of the Radiant Sun grew increasingly bright under the enhancement of Luck.

As time passed.

The Ancient glyphs of the Heavenly Emperor Sutra in his Sea of Consciousness transformed into golden flames once more under the enhancement of Luck.

"As expected, this Luck stuff is very useful, but it's a pity there's so little of it."

Feeling the Luck converted by the wangquan sword.

The supply simply could not keep up with the demand.

Ye Xiu felt some regret; if there were enough Luck, it wouldn't actually be hard for him to transform into an Immortal Body and become a Supreme Realm powerhouse.

Unfortunately, the Luck coming from the wangquan sword was too little. Although his cultivation was progressing, relying on this bit of Luck to manifest an Immortal Body was likely a pipe dream.

But there was no other way for now.

Only after the Fengshan ceremony would he be able to seize all the Luck of the era.

And thereby rapidly increase his cultivation.

This was also the only method he and Ji Xingyue could think of.

After all, no one could say for sure when the great war would break out. The faster he entered the ranks of the Supreme Realm, the more beneficial it would be for Great Xia.

While Ye Xiu was cultivating.

The entirety of Great Xia was exceptionally lively.

One month after the coronation of the King of Great Xia, an official announcement was issued.

[The King of Great Xia and Yunzhong City Councilor Ji Xingyue have seen their camaraderie in battle transform into love. Ultimately, this couple will be united, and a Consort Ceremony will be held in one year.]

Regarding this news.

Ordinary people just watched for the excitement and had no say in the matter.

However, among the Noble Families, the Daoist Sects, and the military, some were delighted while others were worried.

In the military, many old leaders were dissatisfied. After all, as a Yunzhong City Councilor with the Noble Families and Daoist Sects behind her, if Ji Xingyue became the Queen Consort...

Then Great Xia would become a place where Ji Xingyue's word was law.

Facing the discordant voices from within.

Sikong Tianwen's approach was extremely forceful; all those who voiced doubts were removed from important positions and given early retirement.

After all, in his heart.

Ji Xingyue was indeed the most suitable candidate to be the Queen Consort.

Choosing Ye Xiu to be the King of Great Xia was only so that he could Cultivate better and achieve a higher Realm, thereby ensuring that Great Xia could better survive the War of the Heavens.

As for power.

Ye Xiu had no time to handle the affairs of Great Xia.

But if Ji Xingyue became the Queen Consort, she could naturally manage all the affairs of Great Xia for him.

It was a win-win situation.

Sikong Tianwen would not allow discordant voices to ring out within Great Xia.

Even if his drastic actions invited dissatisfaction and questioning, in the Face of the grand trend, everything had to make way.

In the Military Supreme Command Room.

The Yanjing Councilor spoke with some concern: "Sikong, I feel that letting someone from the Noble Families become the Queen Consort is somewhat inappropriate."

"After a woman marries, no matter how great her previous ambitions were, most of the time, she will still revolve around her husband and children. There is no need to discuss this further; I agree to it."

"But the King of Great Xia does not involve himself in military or political affairs. If the Noble Families take the opportunity to seize control of the Cabinet, I fear it will lead to a shift in the power of Great Xia."

"Old Li, do not underestimate the King of Great Xia, and do not underestimate the girl Xingyue." Sikong Tianwen shook his head slightly and did not chat further on this topic, continuing to look at the intelligence in his hand.

Sigh...

The Yanjing Councilor sighed and walked out of the command room.

At the same time.

On the back mountain of the Qingcang Daoist Sect.

A stunningly beautiful Daoist nun looked at the information in her hand, remaining speechless for a long time.

She was Liu Qingyan.

Since achieving the Saint Realm, she had already become a Sect Elder.

She looked at the official announcement, her heart filled with complex and inexplicable emotions.

She still remembered the day several years ago when Master Zhang asked her if she was willing to become the Consort of Great Xia.

At that time, she felt as if she were in a dream.

Yes.

Perhaps only that transcendent, immortal-like woman could be worthy of General Ye.

Amidst her bitterness, she heard her Grandmaster's voice transmission: "Qingyan, your obsession has not faded. Forcing a breakthrough into the Saint Realm will likely cause your Heart Demon to reappear. This old Daoist still has some Face."

The moment the words fell.

A gentle force appeared, causing her to instantly disappear from the back mountain.

The Sun, the Endless Fire Domain.

Ye Xiu, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke with a hint of confusion: "Immortal Master, have you come for something?"

"Haha... Little friend's strength is becoming more and more unfathomable."

With the condensation of a Bagua diagram, an old man and a young woman appeared before Ye Xiu.

"The Immortal Master jokes. This Junior's increase in strength is too difficult. To progress further, I'm afraid it will consume endless ages."

Ye Xiu stopped his cultivation and spoke with a light smile.

He didn't care that Master Zhang didn't call him the King of Great Xia; that title was a bit distant, and he didn't really like it anyway.

"This old Daoist has come this time hoping that little friend will give me some Face."

Master Zhang lightly stroked his long beard and spoke again: "Last time, Sikong sought out this old Daoist regarding the selection of little friend's consort and proposed the idea of marrying our Sect's Elder Liu. This old Daoist agreed. Why has such a change occurred today?"

Ye Xiu was stunned.

He looked at the silent Liu Qingyan.

That damned Sikong Tianwen, did he just directly propose without even asking?

And he went directly to Master Zhang to propose.

Now it was just great; the candidate had been changed, and that old man just patted his butt and ignored it, leaving the mess for him to deal with.

He showed an awkward smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I actually didn't know about this matter."

"Little friend, this is not a matter of an apology. This old Daoist hopes little friend can give Qingyan a status. What do you think?" Master Zhang's tone held not a hint of a joke.

"The Immortal Master jokes. Feelings are something that require mutual recognition."

"But the marriage was proposed by your side, and this old Daoist also agreed. To break the agreement now would be inappropriate, wouldn't it?"

"Senior, this matter was indeed a lack of consideration on Speaker Sikong's part. How about this: let me talk to Young Miss Liu alone first?"

Ye Xiu gave a light sigh.

If the person in front of him weren't Master Zhang, he wouldn't bother to respond.

As the King of Great Xia, only Master Zhang would dare come to the Sun to question him.

"This old Daoist doesn't want to get too involved in the affairs of you young people."

Master Zhang's tone softened considerably, and as his words fell, his figure quickly vanished.

In the area.

Only Ye Xiu and Liu Qingyan remained.

"Old classmate, long time no see," Ye Xiu greeted awkwardly.

"General Ye, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Haha... This matter was a lack of consideration by Senior Sikong. I was actually completely unaware of it."

"I know. With the General's character, you certainly wouldn't have actively proposed this."

"Thanks for understanding."

Ye Xiu looked at Liu Qingyan, who had black qi appearing between her brows, and sighed in his heart. No wonder Master Zhang had come to question him; it turned out this matter had caused his grand-disciple to develop a Heart Demon.

It was indeed a bit too much.
