Chu Kuangren had taken over as the Black Heaven Sect Leader.
The crowd congratulated him.
At that moment, a golden chariot that was radiating rays of light arrived from afar. It exuded an extraordinary Daoist Rhyme.
Around the carriage were armored imperial guards. Every single one of them exuded the aura of someone who had been through hundreds of battles.
The crowd looked over and was shocked.
"Six godly horses pulling the chariot? Only the royal family of the Royal Azure Dynasty can enjoy such treatment. Which noble of the dynasty is this?"
"If Gu Changge is here, who else could it be?"
Gu Changge was surprised as well.
However, he recognized the chariot and knew who it was.
The chariot's curtain was lifted, and a beautiful lady in a gorgeous phoenix robe walked out. It was Princess Linglong.
"It's her."
"It's normal for her to attend Chu Kuangren's Inauguration Ceremony. After all, he's her fiancé." The crowd discussed.
Princess Linglong got off the chariot and smiled at Chu Kuangren. "Fiancé, I'm late. Please forgive me."
"You're welcome, Princess."
"Heh, your attire today … is quite nice."
Princess Linglong sized Chu Kuangren up with a glimmer in her eyes. She could not help but compliment him.
"You flatter me, Princess."
Since when was he not nice?
"Today, I'm here with a decree from my father."
Princess Linglong took out an imperial decree and an Honorable Aura emanated from it. The people of the Royal Azure Dynasty immediately knelt.
Chu Kuangren stood still and looked at Princess Linglong with a smile. "Your Highness, I don't have to kneel, do I?"
"Of course."
In the past, he did not have to kneel before the Royal Azure Dynasty King. Now that he was the Black Heaven Sect Leader, his status was on par with the Royal Azure Dynasty, so he did not have to kneel.
"By the will of the Heavens, Fiancé Chu Kuangren is a man of virtue and talent. I'm impressed and hereby confer you the title of King Equal!"
Princess Linglong opened the imperial decree and read it.
The crowd was shocked when they heard that.
The people of the Royal Azure Dynasty, especially, were dumbfounded.
King Equal!
That was a title that was on par with the ruler of a country!
Since ancient times, only two or three people had received that title. Now, it was given to Chu Kuangren!
"Prince Consort, accept the decree."
Princess Linglong stepped forward and handed the Imperial Edict to Chu Kuangren.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Kuangren accepted the imperial edict without hesitation.
"You are still calling me King," Princess Linglong said with some resentment.
"Then, please thank our father for me."
Chu Kuangren said as he rubbed his nose.
Upon hearing this, Princess Linglong beamed with joy. Even the blooming of a hundred flowers could not compare to the smile on her face.
Many male cultivators couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.
"This Chu Kuangren is a winner in life."
"This is too infuriating."
"What cultivators seek is wealth, companions, techniques, and land. He alone has them all, and everything is of the highest quality. How can I not be angry?"
At this moment, a woman walked out from the crowd.
This person was dressed in white and had a tranquil smile on his face, making people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. When everyone looked over, they were all surprised.
She was the Holy Maiden of the School of White Lotus.
"Other than attending the ceremony, the School of White Lotus has come to the Black Heaven Sect this time to inform the Bachelor Sage of something else," the White Lotus Maiden Sage said with a faint smile.
"What is it?"
The White Lotus Maiden Sage took out a white ancient edict that was engraved with white lotus patterns. A mysterious Daoist Rhyme emanated from the ancient edict.
"According to the Leader's decree, from today onwards, the Bachelor Sage will officially be promoted to the Supreme Elder of the School of White Lotus. His treatment will be the same as the Leader's."
"Bachelor Sage, no, Supreme Elder, please accept this edict."
Everyone was completely dumbfounded at this.
Was it not enough that they had a Ruler Equal, now they had a Supreme Elder as well?!
F * ck, what the hell was going on?!
Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised as well, but after some thought, he accepted the edict. "Please thank the Leader for me."
"You're too kind, Elder." The White Lotus Maiden Sage smiled.
When the people from the other orthodoxies saw this, they could already guess what was going on.
"If Chu Kuangren is still the School of White Lotus' Bachelor Sage and the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty after taking over the Black Heaven Sect's Sect Leader's position, it would undoubtedly lower the Black Heaven Sect's status to the other two orthodoxies."
"That's right. That's why the Royal Azure Dynasty and the School of White Lotus would elevate Chu Kuangren's status in their orthodoxies to maintain their alliance with the Black Heaven Sect and deepen their relationship with Chu Kuangren."
"Oh, I see."
Many people pondered for a while before they figured out the reason behind the two orthodoxies' actions.
Chu Kuangren was now the Black Heaven Sect's Sect Leader. How would the higher-ups of the Black Heaven Sect be happy to have a Sect Leader like him become a Bachelor Sage or the Fiancé of another orthodoxies?
Did that not mean that they would have to lower their heads to them?
That was why the two orthodoxies made Chu Kuangren a Ruler Equal and a Supreme Elder. That position was not any lower than the Dynasty Lord or the Sect Leader.
Although they understood the reason behind it, they still found it hard to believe.
Within a day, he had become a Sect Leader, a Ruler Equal, and a Supreme Elder. It was truly shocking.
"Today is not only the Black Heaven Sect's Inauguration Ceremony, but it's also the day that the three sage orthodoxies will publicly form an alliance in front of the many forces."
"That's right. With Chu Kuangren around, the three sage orthodoxies will definitely be closely linked. They will rise or fall together."
"Chu Kuangren is amazing."
The crowd was amazed.
At that moment, outside the Black Heaven Sect's mountain entrance, a majestic Sword-based Daoist Rhyme erupted and swept in all directions.
Everyone felt the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme and looked towards the Black Heaven Sect's mountain entrance.
They saw a middle-aged man in a green robe standing with his hands behind his back. That Sword-based Daoist Rhyme was coming from him.
"I'm Murong Feng. I'm here to challenge the Hundred Swords Spectrum's number one, Chu Kuangren! Chu Kuangren, please show yourself! "
The middle-aged man's thunderous roar echoed throughout the Black Heaven Sect.
Everyone who came to watch the ceremony was surprised.
In the crowd, Daoist Murong Xuan's face turned pale.
"It's him, the Hundred Swords Spectrum's number two, Murong Feng from the Black Warrior Domain."
"One Mountain, One Sect, and Two Families. This man is the Murong clan's number one swordsman below the Sages, Murong Feng!"
"I heard that even the Murong clan's current Clan Head is no match for him. If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't want to be the Clan Head, he would've been the Clan Head a long time ago."
"I can't believe he's here to challenge Chu Kuangren on such a special day. Tsk, if Chu Kuangren is defeated by this man, his reputation as a Sect Leader will be greatly diminished."
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren, waiting to see what he would do.
"Honorable Teacher, did we send an invitation to the Murong clan?" Chu Kuangren asked Honorable Xuan Qi.
Honorable Xuan Qi shook his head and said, "The Murong clan is in the Black Warrior Domain. It's so far away, I can't be bothered to send them off."
Besides, the relationship between the One Mountain, One Sect, and Two Families was not harmonious. Sending them to watch the ceremony would only make things difficult for them.
"Since there's no such thing, I'll send him away now."
Chu Kuangren smiled.
Then, his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot. Not many people in the crowd could catch his movement.
"He's so fast!"
While everyone was still in shock, Chu Kuangren had already arrived at the mountain entrance, facing the Hundred Swords Spectrum's number two.
As soon as they met, their Sword-based Daoist Rhymes collided.
