Free Web NovelChapter 1823: Chapter 866: The Founding Ceremony
"Senior, will you return for the inauguration ceremony of the empire?" Within Zhen Nan Pass, Chu Changfeng faced Moluo, with a sense of inquiry and consultation in his eyes.
With Emperor Sima Ke’s abdication and the regency after Chen Yuan’s three refusals to take the throne, the news of establishing the state as Yan spread to the Southern Border in a very short time, even without relying on the Heavenly Book.
This is thanks to the terrifying intelligence capabilities of the current court.
After breaking into the capital, Chen Yuan consolidated the court’s power with the power of the Jianghu. Now the person behind the Ascending Immortal Tower is controlled by the court because Ye Xiangnan is also a person of the court.
In preparation for the event, it took only a few days to spread the news from every corner of the land.
Not only in the Central Plains, but also in Japan, the Western Regions, and the Northern Barbarians. The set date is the second year of Jianye, July 16, which is still a month away from now.
This period is for preparing for the enthronement.
After all, the inauguration ceremony itself is a grand occasion comparable to the ceremony of being revered as the Human Emperor. As the emperor who pacified the world and expanded territories, Chen Yuan naturally wants an unprecedented grand spectacle.
"Chen Yuan sent a message for us to return and witness this moment," Moluo said softly as he calmly gazed at the distant Southern Border.
"Then... what about Zhen Nan Pass? If the demon tribe attacks at this time, wouldn’t it be defenseless?" Chu Changfeng frowned slightly, although he also wanted to return, he was still worried about this point.
If the demon tribe broke through Zhen Nan Pass during the inauguration ceremony, it would undoubtedly be a great shame.
"They... wouldn’t dare to come."
Moluo shook his head. Nowadays, the situation is reversed. The strength of the Central Plains has far surpassed that of the Southern Border. They have received reliable information that the hundreds of tribes in the Southern Border are migrating further southward.
"It’s not about being afraid but about being prepared for anything unexpected...."
"Heh heh, if they truly dare to come, that... would actually be a good thing." Moluo chuckled softly, seemingly well-prepared.
"Could it be...." Chu Changfeng’s eyes lit up.
"Indeed, this poor monk has already set up a Void Shifting Array here in advance. Even if separated by tens of thousands of miles, through this array, the Regent King can arrive in an instant."
The matter of the Transmission Array is a secret.
Only a few people, including Chen Yuan, Moluo, and Su Ziyue, know about it. Back when Chen Yuan traveled to Japan, he had instructed Moluo to oversee this grand array.
By gathering resources from the Spirit Mountain’s treasury, the Northern Barbarians’ treasury, and the vast resources of the Central Plains, they found enough Void Stones to support a transmission array spanning tens of thousands of miles.
If those demon gods dared to seize this opportunity to attack, it would be the best chance to capture them all at once. In fact, Chen Yuan and Moluo even wish they would come sooner.
In this way....
They could save a lot of time instead of having to search for traces of the demon tribe in the future.
"That is good then."
Seeing Moluo’s confidence, Chu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as a member of the Daoist Divine Palace’s Daoists, he had been guarding this place for nearly two years.
He was eager to see the other Daoists and definitely did not want to miss the moment when Chen Yuan becomes emperor.
This is surely the grandest occasion in nearly a thousand years.
Missing it would be a regret for a lifetime.
"Heh heh... go prepare, in a few days, we should leave too." Moluo slightly nodded, his gaze somewhat dazed. Up to this day, he had completed his goal.
He had destroyed Spirit Mountain, rebuilt Spirit Mountain, reestablished the Buddhist Order, turned demons into Buddhas, and broke through the Earth Immortal realm that had troubled him for a long time.
And Chen Yuan is about to complete his goal, to ascend as emperor!
Compared to other Daoists of the Taoist Divine Palace, Moluo undoubtedly spent a very long time with Chen Yuan, guarding him since his Core Realm days.
It was only after he broke through to the Yang God realm that he stopped.
And he could sense Chen Yuan’s ambition, his longing for immortality, his longing for power, a personality extremely strong in character, and now... he is close to achieving it!
...
The conversation between Moluo and Chu Changfeng was not unique. When Chen Yuan wanted to claim the throne and establish the state of Yan, it resonated throughout the Central Plains, even throughout the world.
The ordinary people, of course, did not have the means to travel to the capital to witness the ceremony, but local officials received instructions from above to celebrate universally seven days before the inauguration.
Everyone would receive some benefits.
And so it is for those in the Immortal Sects and Jianghu forces; the newcomers in Jianghu, already viewing Chen Yuan as a legend, naturally wished to go to the capital to participate in this grand event.
If one were to look down from the sky, one would see many figures converging from all directions towards Central State.
Top forces, Jianghu families, and several Immortal Sects, all preparing gifts for the new emperor.
After all, this is not just any ordinary new emperor’s ascension but the founding of Great Yan. From now on, the Great Jin Dynasty will become part of the past, and Great Yan will be the future.
Hundreds of monks from Spirit Mountain in the Western Regions have traveled over mountains and rivers, and the old and new royal families of the thirty-six countries will also go to pay tribute.
The grassland barbarians, divided into several parts, the Japanese delegation under the strict orders of the Heavenly Demon Hall, are all on their way to Central State.
Everywhere, one can hear people and martial artists discussing this matter.
Everywhere, one can also hear storytellers recounting the already-mythical tales of Chen Yuan.
At this moment, deep in the Southern Border.
The demon tribe... also learned of this news.
Though intimidated by Chen Yuan and the might of the Central Plains, the demon tribe’s army began to retreat, migrating further southward, but it’s not like there were no sources of information from the Central Plains.
