Chapter 1826: Chapter 867: Honors Bestowed! The Curtain Falls!
Chen Yuan felt indifferent towards the so-called Five Elements, and things like Fire or Water Virtue had never concerned him.
He simply liked the color black, so naturally, the entire Yan Army also preferred black. The Black Dragon Banner now stood proudly across the Central Plains and many foreign lands.
His dragon robe was therefore naturally black as well.
With black as the base, and a nine-clawed Golden Dragon coiled on it, this was the style of Chen Yuan’s dragon robe. Standing behind him, Su Ziyue fastened a golden belt around him, and finally placed the Nine Sulfur Crown on his head, symbolizing the Emperor.
A gentle breeze stirred, jingling the sulfur beads. At this moment, Chen Yuan naturally exuded an immense aura of authority, an aura belonging to an Emperor.
Su Ziyue watched, her eyes shining brightly.
This kind of majestic and domineering man was her husband. Recalling their first meeting in Ping’an County, neither she nor Chen Yuan could have envisioned today.
Chen Yuan turned to look, seeing Su Ziyue also adorned with a phoenix crown and a magnificent ceremonial robe sweeping the ground. Her hair was elegantly styled, exuding an overwhelming aura of grandeur.
The two of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
Outside the Stargazing Tower, nine Golden Dragon Exotic Beasts appeared in the heavens and earth, with a chariot standing in the midst of creation.
Nine dragons pulling a chariot!
"The hour has come, then... let us go."
Chen Yuan raised his hand, Su Ziyue smiled gently, placing her hand in his, nodding. Together, they stepped forward and sat upon the chariot.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Nine Dragon Roars echoed through the heavens and earth, golden light illuminated creation, transforming into a beam of radiance surging towards Purple Gold Mountain.
...
...
Below Purple Gold Mountain, a hundred thousand people gathered, including soldiers maintaining order, Jianghu martial artists here to witness the ceremony, and even more commoners from around the Central State.
Though it wasn’t completely silent, no one dared to cause a disturbance at this sacred moment, for the current Chen Yuan was incomparable to the past Jingtai.
Jingtai held himself in high esteem, believing everything was under his control, but in truth, the court was plagued by internal and external troubles, with constant rebellions, forcibly striving for the title of Human Emperor only to evoke dissatisfaction from all.
But Chen Yuan was different. His achievements over the years were clearly evident to everyone, showcasing his efforts to the world.
Ending the era of chaos, unifying the Central Plains, rebuilding the dynasty, defeating the Wa invaders to the east, guarding against the Southern Border in the west, conquering the Grassland in the north, subduing Spirit Mountain in the west, in one astonishing battle after another.
He has already elevated Chen Yuan’s prestige to its peak.
Even the Grand Ancestor of Chu of old pales in comparison.
Him becoming Emperor is a long-awaited event for all the people, eager for Chen Yuan to ascend to the highest position and bring an unprecedented prosperous age to the Central Plains.
Now, the prosperous age has begun, but everyone is aware that it is far from its zenith.
Lu Chengfeng, Ye Xiangnan, the old Heavenly Master, Moluo.....
Jiang He, Chu Changfeng, Yang Huatian, Li Su Qing, Ling Xu, Tianxu, Zhao Danqing....
Wei Wuque, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Yantong, Xiao Jing, Bai Changqing, Wei Wuya, Zuo Chengzong....
Much of Chen Yuan’s former acquaintances have now become his subordinates, dressed in official robes, looking forward with excitement in their eyes.
This day,
This day they had long awaited, has finally arrived.
Some were Chen Yuan’s mentors, some were his guides, some were his former friends, and some were once his rivals, but now they all share one identity.
They are citizens of the Great Yan Dynasty.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The earth-shaking Nine Dragon Roars echoed through the heavens and earth, emerging from the Capital, causing everyone’s attention to focus, realizing the time had come.
Lu Chengfeng, clad in white, waved his hand, and in an instant, the azure sky trembled, and golden rainbows fell upon the Human World, manifesting in tangible form, not just an illusion.
This transformed the land within hundreds of miles into an Immortal Domain.
Martial artists could distinctly feel the changes around them, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy becoming incredibly abundant, along with some inexplicable force seeping into their bodies.
Those afflicted with illness felt their ailments vanish. Those with stifled spirits felt their chests expand, and those trapped in their realms seemed to sense their bottlenecks loosening.
Moluo clasped his hands, chanting "Amitabha."
In an instant, golden light gathered into a divine Buddha gazing upon the heavens and earth, with sutra chants resonating through the void, bringing peace and tranquility to all emotions.
Jiang He, with a mere thought, summoned Sword Qi from nothingness, forming a long river of Sword Qi converging into a dragon, as if welcoming Chen Yuan’s arrival.
Ling Xu Daoist....
Tianxu Daoist....
Countless mighty experts displayed their Divine Skills, transforming the place into an Immortal Realm in the blink of an eye, with Divine Beasts appearing in creation, and rainbow light transforming into celestial rain.
"Woo~"
"Woo~"
"Woo~"
Eight hundred warriors blew into their instruments in unison, with mighty thunderous sounds echoing throughout.
When the Nine Dragon chariot reached Purple Gold Mountain, the heavens and earth fell silent in an instant. Chen Yuan basked in the adulation of the masses, taking Su Ziyue’s hand and stepping step by step into the void.
Upon the heavens and earth, steps formed as they ascended.
With each step forward, the thunderous sounds of the skies would declare Chen Yuan’s past achievements.
’On the first day of May in the ninth year of Jingtai, he defeated the seventy thousand-strong Northern Barbarian army at Liangzhou City, saving millions of Liangzhou’s common people.’
