But after Aurelia appeared, they instantly abandoned such unrealistic ambitions.
With Aurelia present, let alone juniors like them, even if their own monarchs came, they would still have to willingly play a supporting role.
In front of Aurelia, even if Alex truly gave the Heavenly Jade Purple Emperor Incense to them, they absolutely would not dare accept it.
The Heavenly Flame Empress’s noble and haughty nature was known to everyone in the world.
If anyone dared to step on her proud head in her own territory, it would be equivalent to directly declaring war on the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. Even the two of them did not dare provoke Aurelia’s majesty.
Aurelia’s arrival made the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony incredibly simple and smooth.
As the most distinguished guest, she offered the first stick of guest incense. Aelin Feather and Kaia Star willingly took a backseat, together offering the second and third sticks.
After them came the various first-rate families, first-rate sects, second-rate families, and second-rate sects, offering incense in sequence according to standard procedure.
After the incense offering concluded, the basic scheduled procedures of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony were completely finished. Cedric had long since ordered the chefs to prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain the guests in a grand gathering.
At the banquet, Alex, as the Hale family Saint Lord, had to visit each table in sequence to offer a toast as a gesture of gratitude.
Meanwhile, some families and sects looking to build connections could also use this opportunity to network and build bridges.
Aelin and Kaia were originally harboring thoughts, preparing to proactively toast Alex.
As a result, before Alex could even reach their table, Aurelia arrived in front of them a step ahead and smiled faintly.
"For the Fourth Prince of the White Feather Dynasty and the Eldest Princess of the Purple Star Dynasty to come to my Heavenly Flame Dynasty, why did you not give a greeting beforehand?"
"You two distinguished guests are the most honored guests of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. If I had known earlier, I could have sent dedicated personnel to welcome you."
"Or is it that, in the hearts of you two, my weight is below that of Saint Lord Alex?"
Facing Aurelia’s benevolent, kind-eyed, and smiling questioning, Aelin and Kaia were both so frightened they broke out in cold sweat.
They could not help but gulp down saliva, forcing out an ugly smile.
"Your Majesty the Empress, we were merely following our respective Imperial Fathers’ orders to come and support Saint Lord Alex. After showing our support, we intend to leave, which is why we did not wish to disturb Your Majesty."
"Leaving so soon? How can that do!" Aurelia waved her hand and smiled.
"It is rare for you two to make a trip to my Heavenly Flame Dynasty. If I do not host you well, would that not be disrespectful to your two monarchs?"
"After the ceremony concludes today, you two absolutely must return to the Heavenly Flame Capital with me. I will send people to take you to properly admire the scenery. Have a good time playing for ten days to half a month. It will not be too late to return then."
Hearing these words, the hearts of Aelin and Kaia instantly sank.
They knew clearly that their intentions of poaching from the Hale family’s foundation had been completely seen through by Aurelia.
This time, Aurelia would not actually do anything to them, but this was equivalent to a warning.
If they dared to try this a second time, they would not be taken back to play for ten days to half a month.
Instead, they would be permanently imprisoned in the Heavenly Flame Capital forever.
This vigorous and grand Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony finally came to a close. Everyone in the Hale family, from top to bottom, was exhausted and mentally drained, especially Cedric.
Alex explicitly gave him a half-month vacation, telling him to set aside all affairs in the clan and not worry about a single thing.
Every day, he was just to fish, bask in the sun, have a little wine, and properly relax.
After all, for the ceremony to be held smoothly, Cedric’s hard work was of great merit, playing the most crucial role. He had to be allowed to slightly relax his body and mind so that he could continue to be better exploited in the future.
Even an old ox plowing a field has to be given a rest before being put back to work.
And during this half-month period, Alex stayed within the Holy Land, focusing on two things.
The first was refining the power within the blood and flesh of the Demonic Flood Dragon. The second was cultivating the Immovable Lord Technique.
As a true inheritance of the Buddhist Dao, cultivating the Immovable Lord Technique was not strenuous at all for Alex, who possessed the Heavenly Buddha Saint Body.
In a short span of half a month, he had basically cultivated it to great completion. He could instantly enter the Immovable Lord state to defend against all external attacks.
Coupled with the protective divine dragon of the Dragon Blood Dark Yellow Saint Body, the current Alex possessed absolute defense.
Even if dozens of Supreme Realm mighty figures besieged him simultaneously, he could just take a nap amidst their furious bombardment and still might not suffer the slightest injury.
As for the Demonic Flood Dragon offered by Brook, although refining it required a bit of effort, after half a month of hard work, he finally managed to chew through this hard bone. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The dragon horns, dragon blood, dragon scales, and dragon tendons were all refined into spiritual energy and absorbed.
After completely absorbing the entire Demonic Flood Dragon, Alex relied on the power of the Dragon Blood Dark Yellow Saint Body and successfully awakened a Dragon Race divine ability.
Dragon Blood Sealing Curse.
The blood of the purebred Dragon Race was a rare premium item in the world.
If consumed, it could heal injuries and restore vitality. But if used on an enemy, it could seal and suppress the enemy’s power and movements.
Back then, the Bright Candle Ghost King’s strongest ghost artifact, the Heavenly Candle Dragon-Sealing Seal, was fundamentally based on the sealing power of dragon blood.
This Dragon Blood Sealing Curse might not play a decisive role in determining victory or defeat in combat. However, when used to deal with certain enemies he didn’t want to kill, or couldn’t kill, it would yield unexpected and miraculous effects!
