Chapter 1849 - Withdrawal
The Royal Skyblaze Prefecture. The Outer Palace.
At the foot of Golden Dragon Mountain, on an unusually vast platform, more and more cultivators from various sects gathered under the guidance of the Heavenly Palace"s disciples.
When a person pa.s.sed ten thousand, he would be like a mountain or a sea.
The Crimson Radiance Heaven was filled with hundreds of Domain Realms, and when tens of thousands of cultivators gathered together, it looked like a huge crowd was gathering.
If it was any other occasion, with so many cultivators gathered together, it would be very noisy. However, the entire platform was silent.
Everyone"s eyes were looking around with different thoughts in their minds.
There were hundreds of people on the stage, and all of them were young disciples who were around one hundred years old. Among them, there were several tens of Sky Marquis, and the rest were all high-ranked Heavenly Generals. From the aura, it could be seen that many of them were already on the verge of breaking through.
Perhaps it wouldn"t be long before the number of marquis in this group of young disciples doubled.
Originally, there were many people who were still thinking about it, but Tang Huan and the other few Heavenly Kings of the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Palace wouldn"t be able to stay in the Scarlet Radiance Heaven forever. Perhaps in a few hundred years, they would be able to leave for the next thirty-six days and head for the Nine Heavens.
In this way, they only needed to wait several hundred years under the obscene might of the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Palace.
But looking at the situation now, even if Tang Huan and the others left, there should still be a new Heavenly King appearing in the Emperor Dragon"s Hall. Not to mention several hundred years, even several thousand years from now, the Royal Dragon Heavenly Palace would still dominate the world. In the entire Crimson Radiance Sect, there wouldn"t be any sect that could surpa.s.s the Royal Dragon Heavenly Palace.
Many sect heads looked like they had lost their parents as they inwardly sighed.
However, their little bit of emotion was completely unable to disturb the hundreds of young Disciples s on the platform as well as the tens of thousands of Heavenly Palace cultivators surrounding the platform.
Those who were able to come here were all powerful sects of different realms. The masters of these sects were all high-grade Heavenly Lords. Most of those who came with them, other than a small portion of the disciples, were the Marquis of Heaven … However, at this moment, all of these experts were extremely respectful and cautious. They did not dare to be the slightest bit rash.
This scene caused all the Heavenly Abode cultivators to feel incomparably proud and arrogant.
Once upon a time, although the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Mansion was a large sect with a long history, in the Flowing Flower Domain alone, there were only Heaven"s Qian Yuan Sect and Limitless Temple that could compete with it. Hundreds of Domain Realms were on par with the strength of the Emperor Dragon Celestial Palace and could be found everywhere.
In fact, more than ten years ago, the Emperor Dragon Sky Manor had been forced to protect themselves in an extremely miserable manner. They had all relied on a wave of conviction that allowed them to remain and share the sect"s troubles.
However, not too long after, the situation had undergone a tremendous change.
The appearance of Tang Huan caused the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Palace, which was almost reduced to dust, to not only reopen the sect, but also leap into the air and directly stand at the peak of the Crimson Radiance Sect, trampling all the sects that had surrounded and attacked the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Palace beneath their feet. Now, the Emperor"s Heavenly Palace had gathered close to ten thousand of the Crimson Radiance Sect"s disciples to host this Great a.s.sembly of Ten Thousand Sects. Even though there weren"t many people, it was enough to gather the strongest group of cultivators in the Crimson Radiance Sect.
No one dared to disobey the order!
It was such a grand occasion!
As the crowd of cultivators raised their eyebrows and gave vent to their pride, they all felt as if they were in a dream. All of this had happened way too quickly.
"The Lord Prefect has arrived!"
A loud shout like a great bell suddenly shook the world.
Immediately after, over a hundred figures floated over from the top of the Golden Dragon Mountain. Their speed was fast like lightning, and the old man with bright hair and frosty eyebrows was shockingly Nie Cangsheng.
In the blink of an eye, Nie Cangsheng and the others were already on the platform.
Rays of aura that caused the souls of everyone to tremble faintly emanated out from the group of people behind Nie Cangsheng. Every single aura seemed to have merged into one with the world around them. They were majestic and grand, as lofty as a mountain or as vast as the ocean, causing one to involuntarily feel an irresistible sense of powerlessness within one"s heart.
"Heavenly King!"
On the platform, all the cultivators of the various sects were greatly shocked.
The Heavenly Kings did not bother concealing their auras, allowing the crowd to easily judge the actual number of the Heavenly Kings.
Seven people followed Nie Cangsheng.
Amongst them, quite a few cultivators were able to recognize them at a glance. They were the G.o.dly King Chongze of the Mt. Xumi and the lower Heavenly King of the Supreme Sword Sect, San-Xiangyang. They had long heard that they had already pledged their allegiance to Tang Huan, and from the looks of it, the rumors were indeed true.
Other than Chong Ze and Sang Xiangyang, there were two men, three women, and five Heavenly Kings.
It was easy to guess the ident.i.ty of those three women. One of them was obviously the Nine-Colored Immortal Sect"s Sect Leader, Xiao Zihan. Although she was a Medial Heavenly King, her strength was shocking. Over ten years ago during the battle in Yuhuang City, she had fought alone against the five Heavenly Kings of the Crimson Radiance Sect.
The other person was naturally the lowly Heavenly Palace"s disciple, Xiao Niandie, who had advanced to a lower heavenly king in the Tais.h.i.+ Immortal Region.
As for the third female Sky King, she was actually a cute and cute little girl. Her pair of bright eyes seemed to contain a magical power. This woman seemed to be called Jiu Ling, with an unknown origin. According to the cultivators that came back from the Primal Beginning Immortal Domain, she seemed to have always called Tang Huan "Big Brother"?
On the other hand, the two male Sky Kings were much easier to judge. One of them was the one who had been in charge of the Jade Imperial City Lord"s mansion for a long time, and the other was the one who had stirred up the sky and overturned the earth, Tang Huan!
As if it was a conditioned reflex, everyone"s eyes quickly fell on the man in black who was closest to Nie Cangsheng.
Although the majority of the cultivators on the platform had never seen Tang Huan before, the moment they saw the black clothed man, everyone matched up against him and Tang Huan.
At this moment, everyone had a strong premonition at the bottom of their hearts. In this Great a.s.sembly of Ten Thousand Sects, even though Nie Cangsheng was standing at the very front, the true main character should be Tang Huan.
"Many thanks to everyone for your presence."
After standing still, Nie Cangsheng cupped his hands with a smile on his face towards the tens of thousands of cultivators, "This time, I"ve invited all of you to this Great Sect a.s.sembly because of two things. The first is that the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Mansion is going to hold the inauguration ceremony for the new Palace Master, and it just so happens that all of you can act as witnesses."
"The new Palace Chief … The enthronement ceremony? "
Suddenly hearing Nie Cangsheng"s words, whether it was the tens of thousands of cultivators from the various sects on the stage or the tens of thousands of cultivators from the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Mansion below the stage, they were all stunned for a moment.
Martial House Master Nie Cangsheng was actually going to abdicate?
Before this, they had never heard the slightest bit of news.
