Free Web NovelChapter 1319: Chapter 11: Coming to the Human World Should be "Ruyi"_2
Jiang Wang was taken aback for a moment before he realized what was happening, anger burning in his liver.
Detestable Zhongxuan Pang!
It was a reward from Qi Court, so why be so petty? Even a storage box must be taken back. When he was first granted the title of Qingyang Lord, he had clearly been played by that fat man!
On both sides of the high platform, several people let out soft chuckles.
It was clear that nobody had expected this hero of Great Qi to be so "naively honest," thinking that there were only prime stones when he heard a thousand were given, even considering returning the storage box!
At first, some frowned, thinking he was so stingy as to want to check the reward in front of the Son of Heaven!
Jiang Wang forced himself to remain calm, not letting his embarrassment become too obvious. As if nothing happened, he put away the Qi Court’s imperial storage box and casually turned his gaze to Qiu Ji.
Qiu Ji was still smiling warmly, showing no intention of mockery. He was the last one holding a jade tray, shuffling his steps.
Suddenly, from above the cinnabar steps, Jiang Wuyou’s voice was heard.
"The heroes of the various countries compete, and the victorious is the fine man of Great Qi!"
She stood up tall from behind her desk, revealing a spirited and resolute smile: "I shall personally adorn Jiang Wang with this robe!"
On the phoenix seat, the Queen glanced at the Emperor from the corner of her eye, still unable to discern any expression. She did not speak either.
Crown Prince Jiang Wuhua wore a wentun expression, as if he had heard nothing.
Jiang Wuji returned the red fruit he had been about to eat to the tray.
It is worth mentioning that compared to the previous grandmaster ceremony,
Jiang Wuqi’s seating hadn’t changed; he was still seated next to his siblings, still looking like one of the four most likely contenders for the dragon throne.
But unlike last time, he could no longer sit on an embroidered stool right in front of Emperor Qi.
At the moment, he was sitting in a fox fur cloak, his face paler than usual. Even though he was smiling, it seemed laborious.
Jiang Wuyou’s strong and graceful legs seemed to step on many people’s hearts as she walked.
Step by step, she descended the cinnabar steps, walked up to Qiu Ji, took the stack of Immortal Robes in her hand, supporting it with her left hand, and then walked past without looking back.
From beginning to end, Qiu Ji kept his head slightly bowed, showing great deference.
And Jiang Wuyou held the Ruyi Immortal Clothes in one hand, walking in front of Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang, looking at her eyes, always felt like she was hinting at something.
But Jiang Wuyou did not engage in any pleasantries, she just smiled at him and then said, "In Ancient Times, the Nine Great Immortal Palaces dominated the world. This Ruyi Immortal Robe comes from them."
Jiang Wang’s heart trembled.
Another item related to the Nine Great Immortal Palaces!
If you speak of the Emperor Qi’s reward thoughtfulness, this reward truly showed it!
His Azure Cloud Immortal Technique had been revealed to the world at Guanhe Platform. There were many strong competitors among the nations, and it would not be few who recognized something left over from the Immortal Palaces.
For Qi Court, the fact that Jiang Wang possessed part of the Immortal Palace heritage had long been no secret.
Which is why there was this Ruyi Immortal Clothes!
It was not only a matter of formal favor but also a reward that hit the mark, that was practical and useful.
Selected from the treasury of Great Qi Country, especially bestowed upon Jiang Wang.
Emperor Qi either rewards not at all, or when he does, it’s with such benevolence that people are utterly devoted.
Jiang Wang revealed no emotion on his face. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Meanwhile, Jiang Wuyou unfolded the Ruyi Immortal Clothes with a shake, its brilliance spilling through the air, lingering even as she stepped forward, leaving an afterglow that dazzled the eyes.
Jiang Wuyou walked behind Jiang Wang; at this distance, she could even better sense the unique aura emanating from him.
She felt like she could hear his heartbeat which was composed and confident, like a song. A song of the young man’s journey thus far.
In her capacity as the Emperor’s daughter, she had undoubtedly made a very successful investment. How successful it was could be measured by how much the Ninth Prince resented it.
As the Emperor’s daughter, "vision" was also a very important talent, adding much to her appeal.
But setting aside that status, she truly saw a different kind of characteristic in Jiang Wang from other people. Although still very young, and his strength unable to compare with the real powerhouses as of yet, there was a very reliable sensation about him.
It was as if there was nothing he couldn’t do.
If one day, they could interact purely as friends, that would certainly bring about a different set of feelings.
It was said that when Jiang Wang emerged as the champion, Zhongxuan Sheng at the Guanhe Platform was so excited he almost went mad.
Knowing that fat man as she did, she found it very rare. Zhongxuan Sheng, who was always jovial and shameless, rarely had moments where he truly let go.
From this angle, Jiang Wang’s black and shiny hair falls quietly, simply tied with a single hairband.
Of course, she could also feel that at the intersection of his spine and cervical vertebra, there was a mysterious pattern.
The will of the "Divine" within it has been worn away, leaving only some sort of original essence.
It is said that at the Guanhe Platform, it harnessed starlight, causing stars to descend suddenly, night to fall upon the sky, helping him puncture through Qin Zhizhen’s Divine Power Iron Wall.
She suddenly very much wanted to see what a magnificent scene that would be.
Of course, there are matters for the current moment.
She personally draped the unfolded Ruyi Immortal Clothes over Jiang Wang’s body.
The radiant and colorful Immortal Robe silently lost its glow, transforming into an ordinary-looking azure robe, covering Jiang Wang’s original garments.
Atop the high platform, Zhongxuan Mingguang was so envious that his teeth almost fell out.
Conferred by the Son of Heaven, endowed with the ritual of the brush, donned by a royal daughter!
Such is an unparalleled honor!
Looking again at his peerless son, outstanding in elegance and unparalleled in Tianfu, yet casually sent off.
He could not help but purse his lips.
Hmph, just a mere visitor!
When Jiang Wang donned the Ruyi Immortal Clothes, he already understood the capabilities of this garment.
The robe can change size as desired, and needless to say, wearing it is comfortable—dust avoidance is an effect nearly all treasured garments possess.
From the moment it was worn, it started to absorb his power in a way he couldn’t yet fully understand. Path Origin, vital energy... it seems to be indiscriminate about which type of power, stopping when it has absorbed enough.
At first, the process felt quite peculiar. But this absorption is very subtle and gentle, not causing any harm to the host. The rate of Path Origin absorption is far less than the rate at which Tongtian Palace naturally generates it. The rate of vital energy absorption is slower than the body’s natural regeneration.
This method of absorption feels very similar to how the Ling Kong Palace draws in Vitality from the void. It might be a common method from the Era of the Immortal Palaces.
Simultaneously, he can also actively pour in power to accelerate its absorption.
And the power absorbed by the Ruyi Immortal Clothes forms a hidden Array Pattern.
This Array Pattern has two effects: one is to store power, which can be returned to the host at any time. The other is to defend against varying degrees of damage based on the consumption of power. Its defensive limit is still unknown.
Compared to its defense, Jiang Wang is more concerned about the former.
In a certain sense, wearing this Immortal Robe equates to having twice the reserve of Path Origin or vital energy!
The so-called Ruyi Immortal Clothes, it seems, are whimsical not only in changes of size at will but also "whimsical" in this aspect.
Unfortunately, it cannot absorb Divine Power Light. Jiang Wang quietly tried it, to no reaction.
In the end, it cannot compare with Qin Zhizhen’s All Transformations...
As for the information about the Immortal Palace represented by this garment, he has gained nothing.
These thoughts merely flickered through his mind, and Jiang Wang softly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Lord Hua Ying."
"For a valiant hero of Great Qi Country, I too share in the glory, there is no need for thanks," she replied.
Jiang Wuyou distanced himself, taking a few glances at him from afar, nodding in satisfaction before walking back to the high platform with great poise, without any hesitation or delay.
Truly, her bearing was dashing and spirited.
Ministers, high-ranking nobles, and common people all watched intently.
Walking between Jiang Wang and Emperor Qi, adorned in splendid palace attire, her presence was like that of a dragon.
At the end of this "dragon’s path", Emperor Qi sat alone on the Dragon Throne, silent yet commanding an authoritative presence that subdued all directions.
And at the beginning of the "dragon’s path" stood Jiang Wang, draped in the Ruyi Immortal Clothes, composed amidst the vast square in front of The Imperial Ancestral Temple.
He is nineteen years old, and every word and smile attracts attention.
The corners of his brows and the tips of his hair are all brimming with vivacious spirit.
And so it was.
Distinguished ministers, resplendent attire. freёwebnovel.com
He stood at the very center.
On this day, the fifty-fifth year of Yuan Feng of Great Qi Country, the twenty-first of July.
It is the tail end of summer, with high autumn still afar.
There is no need for the spring breeze to feel triumphant!
