Volume 1, Chapter 31: Parting at Green Mountain Temple

The excited crowd slowly dispersed, discussing the arrangements for the coronation ceremony, while Xiao Ruxun began summoning his former Ming officials to deliberate on the reign title and the protocols for the enthronement.

He maintained impeccable etiquette, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times. Several Joseon officials behind him followed suit, kowtowing to Li Yi and chanting, "Long live, ten thousand years."

In other words, every celestial body at or above the stellar level possesses self-awareness. Furthermore, it cannot be said that many non-stellar bodies lack self-awareness entirely; it is merely a matter of whether it is hidden or overt, strong or weak.

Noticing the disbelief and confusion on Shen Wanqian’s face from the corner of her eye, Leng Yue pondered for a moment before offering a further explanation.

Mo Yuan pushed the door open to find no one inside. Looking down, he saw a man with disheveled hair and a stubbly beard sitting half-slumped on the floor. Mo Yuan leaned over to observe him, noting the man’s rapid breathing and his cyan-purple complexion.

At this very moment, the guards at the gate were filled with immense excitement as they watched a monk in robes approaching slowly from ahead.

After paying a heavy price, a master craftsman of the Ji clan fulfilled her long-cherished wish. With the spirit weapon in hand, the next step was to cultivate a Law entirely opposite to her innate elemental attribute. Since her talent was fire, the only choice was ice.

A purebred—no one has ever captured one yet. Once brought back to the Main God Space, it would undoubtedly yield a massive reward and significant prestige.

Wherever they passed along the way, any place where demons gathered fell so silent that not even the chirping of insects could be heard.

This is the Japanese theater of war. As the former Order God of Japan, Amaterasu is far more familiar with the maps of this region than Leng Mo.

When Xia Qing heard Catherine call his name from above, his eyes clearly betrayed a hint of excitement, while Ye Qingcheng also wore a smile.

Upon hearing Xu Fan identify himself as part of the Jinyun Group, Murong Feng understood the situation. The Jinyun Group never turned down a profitable venture; it seemed his luck was decent, at least he wouldn't have to suffer a loss.

I saw the expressions on the faces of Xia Qing, Ye Qingcheng, Huang Nan, and Gongsun Junjie; they were clearly in the mindset of watching a show.

It had been in the Great Wilderness for some time, and in that short period, it had become a major hegemon. Many wild beasts feared it deeply and dared not approach its territory easily.

When the blacksmith heard that I had completed the task, a glint appeared in his eyes. I recognized that look—it was the expression of greed.

With two corpses lying there, Qiao Rui still couldn't control his eyes, scanning the beauty who had descended from the heavens several times over.

"Dong Ze, you step back!" Wang Kui said, not wanting Dong Ze to take risks. Against someone like Lin Ci, Dong Ze was far from being a match.

But when Ouyang Linrui actually introduced her, Qin Youning’s previous impressions were completely overturned.

By this time, even the most novice among them sensed that something was amiss, and the looks they directed at Zhao Ningning turned rather peculiar.

On the soil of the Demon Realm, only mournful winds remained, as if wailing on behalf of those who could not shed a tear.

On this day, while washing his face by the river, Yang Tianlang was startled by the reflection of a disheveled man with a scraggly beard, only then did he carefully examine his current self.

"Ah, that's fine. It's just that those divine doctors in the past always had strange temperaments, and I’m used to being overly polite when I see one. Just a habit. Hahaha..." Ouyang Lie said with a laugh.

A thread of Chen Yuanbao’s thoughts drifted with Yang Tianlang to the capital, Chang'an, imagining the life Yang Tianlang was living in this prosperous city.

Hearing this, not only Shui Ruoying but also the silent Lu Qingshuang, Wu Feiyan, and Wu Feixu had eyes full of anticipation as they gazed at Xue Bingling.

Daoyuan and Hu Lie exchanged a glance, both helplessly smiling to themselves: this fellow Lei Luo is clearly trying to play the pig to eat the tiger; it looks like this Young Master Muyuan is in for some trouble.

After the shock and skepticism, the many martial practitioners in the square shook their heads one after another, unwilling to believe that Yun Mu’s physique could be stronger than Lin Juntian’s.

Lin Xiyao used her divine power to slowly traverse the Empress Dowager’s body. The black mist that had been hiding on the spine had moved into the Empress Dowager’s head, controlling her thoughts and behaviors.

This path of immortality still holds much to explore, expand, and utilize; in many cases, different paths lead to the same destination.

His concerns should be whether officials are corrupt, forming cliques, or plotting anything untoward.

"It's nothing." Zhao Tian Nian pulled back her foot, slipped it into the embroidered shoe soaked through with snowflakes, and turned back toward the residence.

With a single strike, the manifestation behind Wang Chongyang shattered with a boom. Wang Chongyang himself coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body collapsing forward uncontrollably.

"Because Brother Han’s internal energy is intricately linked to the Ice Man; when the Ice Man was destroyed, the backlash of energy caused him great harm!" Yuan Tiansheng explained calmly. From the moment Han Shantong launched his attack, the surrounding temperature had plummeted to a level unbearable for ordinary people. Fortunately, Yuan Tiansheng had condensed a barrier of energy to shield the others from the cold.

Wang Yueyao knew she had caused a great disaster, but she couldn't clearly explain the ins and outs of the matter. She also knew this situation had placed Wang Chongyang in a dilemma.

"My lady, your husband is very happy!" Jiu Wu could not help but laugh after putting Tian Qin down, his eyes filled with joy and contentment.

"This is the main reason why the Emperor sent the urgent report." Mu Yichen had just seen that there were two letters inside the report; after reading them, he tucked the letter back in.

Because the conditions at Jiagu are truly capable of producing results. Unlike many domestic companies built on sand—collapsing the moment the tide rises or falls—Jiagu’s enterprise is built on solid capital and technical accumulation, destined to shine ever brighter as time passes.

"What happened?" Seeing the unconscious Wang Chongyang, Qin Fuhan’s heart tightened instantly.
