Chapter 1190: Chapter 1181: Emperor Yun Abdicates
After leaving the Pill Sect, Mo Wangchen rushed all the way to the Yun Country.
During the journey, he did not make any stops.
Until early the next morning, when the bright sun rose, he finally arrived in Yunge City.
Returning to a familiar place, Mo Wangchen felt a surge of emotions.
Once, he was merely a disciple of Yun Chu Academy.
At that time, the Yun Country Royal Family could easily obliterate him, and even uproot the Mo Family.
Now, upon his return, things have changed, and many matters are no longer what they used to be.
Compared to nine hundred years ago, Yunge City at this moment is flourishing in unimaginable ways.
After Yun Yi ascended, he led Yun Country to eventually dominate the entire Ten Directions Domain.
As early as nine hundred years ago, Yun Country was already the largest imperial dynasty in the Ten Directions Domain, and its strength has developed to the point where it rivals top forces in Tiannan now.
To Mo Wangchen’s surprise, when he arrived in Yunge City, he heard some news.
Yun Yi is about to abdicate and pass the throne to his son Yun Wenjing!
Today is the succession ceremony, where all the strong figures from the major factions of Yun Country gather at the palace for the event.
Now Mo Xue is the Alliance Hierarch of the Alchemist Alliance, and naturally, she was invited as well.
Though Yun Country is strong nowadays, inviting Mo Xue is no easy task.
It’s important to know that Mo Xue is now an Alchemy Dao Master renown throughout Tiannan; even Outer Heavenly Gang have many strong figures seeking pills upon hearing of it.
If not for Yun Yi visiting the Mo Family to apologize nine hundred years ago, with sincerity, and inviting Mo Cheng to take charge at Yun Chu Academy, they might not have been able to invite Mo Xue today.
"The Emperor Yun is abdicating, the palace gates are open wide, cultivators may enter. It is said that Crown Prince Yun Wenjing reached the Emperor Realm three hundred years ago, and declared he would not inherit the throne until he reached the Void Immortal Realm; now he finally ascends, he must have entered the Void Immortal Realm."
"To think, Tiannan in nine hundred years ago, the Saint Venerable was already supreme, Emperor Realm existed only in legends. Unexpectedly, nine hundred years later, heaven and earth have changed, and now the scene is as it is."
"Back then, the Immortals were unseen even in dreams, but now Tiannan sees them everywhere. Crown Prince Yun Wenjing is barely over four hundred years old and has entered the Void Immortal Realm, truly extraordinary talent. Even looking across Beiming’s same generation, few can compare."
"That’s true, but the Void Immortal Realm is merely a threshold. His future path is long, not mentioning elder masters. Even nine hundred years ago, for all the Saints in Tiannan’s four domains to surpass these figures, it would not be easy for Yun Wenjing."
"Nine hundred years ago, heaven and earth did not change, yet so many outstanding individuals rose to compete for supremacy. Now, each one has become a leader in their region. Remembering that era, it truly is nostalgic."
"Heaven and earth have changed, becoming immortal is no longer a legend. Though Tiannan still has its disputes, compared to nine hundred years ago, it’s evidently less intense."
In the palace, early in the morning, many cultivators arrived here, and Mo Wangchen mingled among the crowd, not attracting attention.
He sat alone at a seat, savoring fine wine, waiting for the so-called ceremony to unfold, and overhearing the discussions around him.
"Today is truly lively, Yun Country hasn’t seen such a grand occasion for hundreds of years, has it?"
A middle-aged man said, "The Emperor Yun retires, the Crown Prince ascends, the news shook the Ten Directions Domain half a month ago, resembling a scene of thousands of saints gathering, it can’t help but be lively. But on my way here, I heard some news, unsure of its truth..."
"Do you mean the return of the Divine King Body?" An old Taoist joined in.
"The Divine King Body left this world nine hundred years ago, traveling to the outer regions, and hasn’t been heard from since. This time, indeed many have heard of his return, but most is just hearsay; no one has truly seen him."
"Speaking of the Divine King Body, he was indeed unmatched in style nine hundred years ago, and there seemed to be some grudges between Yun Country and the Mo Family..."
Soon, the crowd’s topics all began to revolve around Mo Wangchen.
This immediately made the concealed Mo Wangchen smile wryly on the inside.
Quickly, the ceremony proceeded as scheduled.
Amid the whispers, Emperor Yun, Empress Yun, and Crown Prince Yun Wenjing made their appearance.
Compared to nine hundred years ago, their appearances haven’t significantly changed, the only notable part is they’ve become more mature and steady.
On Yun Yi, Mo Wangchen faintly sensed an aura of kingly arrogance.
This is not something he deliberately shows but comes naturally from years of ruling over the imperial dynasties of the Ten Directions Domain.
As early as nine hundred years ago, Jun Muqing’s severed arm had been restored.
Even without Mo Wangchen’s assistance, with the change of heaven and earth, all can become immortal, relying on Jun Muqing’s talent would naturally be possible.
Once entering the Immortal Realm, unless destroyed by Great Dao Divine Power, bones and flesh regenerate; this is the miraculous aspect of immortals.
Quickly, it was time for the gift-giving segment; with the new emperor taking the throne, many forces bestowed favors.
The gifts presented were increasingly eye-catching, making many small cultivators here out of curiosity envy and covet.
"Swift!"
Suddenly, from the distance in the sky, came a sound of breaking wind, arriving instantly.
A young man appeared in splendid attire, with a stern face, carrying an air of authority without anger.
"Greetings, Master!"
Crown Prince Yun Wenjing quickly stood up, greeting him respectfully with cupped hands.
"Mo Cheng?"
In the crowd, Mo Wangchen was startled for a moment, recognizing the person immediately, it was Mo Cheng, now the Mansion Master of Yun Chu Academy.
Unexpectedly, Mo Cheng, besides being Mansion Master, was also the Crown Prince’s master?
Upon close discerning, Mo Wangchen saw that Mo Cheng’s cultivation was just a bit above the Crown Prince, in the Void Immortal Realm Late Stage.
He instantly understood, this was likely the Yun Country Royal Family’s way to smooth out any awkwardness, by having the Crown Prince apprentice under Mo Cheng.
"Brother Mo, please be seated!"
After the Crown Prince, Yun Yi also stood up personally, smiling, and then led Mo Cheng to the seat next to his own.
Mo Cheng greeted the others, nodded, and sat down, looking at the Crown Prince, "You will inherit, and in recent years, your cultivation has advanced rapidly. You will soon surpass your master, and in the future, you should learn more from your father, to govern while in position, to fulfill responsibilities from the throne which anyone can sit upon, but not everyone can manage."
"Disciple has learned!" Yun Wenjing replied respectfully.
