Back then, An Junxi had obtained a rare spine and forged it into a Sub-Divine Weapon, the True Dragon Lightning Whip.
That spine was no more than ten meters long, but it was already extremely rare and could be made into a Sub-Divine Weapon.
The True Dragon's spine before Xiao Chen was two hundred meters long. How horrifying would its value be?
As the saying went, dragons lurked in the depths. This saying was true. Probably only the Northern Sea Alliance could find such a long True Dragon's spine in the world.
The large metal box quickly closed. Xiao Chen felt somewhat startled. This gift was too heavy, so heavy that he did not dare to accept it.
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to worry. You saved my clan's Young Master's life in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland, so you deserve this gift. Furthermore, my clan's Young Master values his friends the most. Since Young Master Xiao is conferred the Blue Dragon King, you should be worthy of this King of Dragons' spine. "
The black-clad old man spoke leisurely. From his tone, it was clear that he had a good impression of Xiao Chen. Clearly, Xiao Chen's earlier slap had helped this old man vent his frustrations.
Not far away, Xiao Hou Jue's eyes popped out. He thought to himself, Trash, a pile of trash.
This trash was not a gift that Xiao Chen had received. Instead, it was something that he had received himself. Compared to Xiao Chen, it could not even be considered trash.
Now, Xiao Chen seemed to understand what a friend was.
The White Emperor City's Holy Lord stood at the peak of the Tianwu Domain. He relied on his reputation to get the Hundred Sects of the Tianwu Domain to congratulate him. These people were not related to Xiao Chen at all. They only came because of the Holy Lord. How could they really give him a congratulatory gift on the level of a Charming Treasure?
However, although Xiao Chen's friends were few in number, they were all friendships that he had obtained with his life on the line.
In the future, if these friends were in trouble, Xiao Chen would definitely help them, not hesitating to go through water or tread on fire.
Of the many people who came to congratulate him, one was a casual acquaintance who congratulated him for face. The other was a friend who had gone through life and death with him.
Even if Xiao Chen's friends only gave him a pile of junk, it would still be ten thousand times better than his pile of flashy but impractical things.
The people of the Northern Sea Alliance withdrew. The Young Master of the Muddy Sky Gate, one of the three peak sects of the Primal Chaos Domain, Qi Wuxue, sent someone to deliver his congratulatory gift.
Xiahou Jue was no stranger to the Muddy Sky Sect. Its strength was almost the same as the current White Emperor City, but it lacked some resources.
These were the people sent by the three overlords of the Primal Chaos Domain. Xiao Hou Jue did not dare to underestimate them.
But now, even if an ordinary person came, Xiahou Jue would not dare to do anything excessive.
His face was trembling, and he didn't dare to look at the gifts that the others had given to Xiao Chen. The more he looked at them, the sadder he felt.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what he had accepted was a pile of trash, and that he was just finding trouble in his heart.
What Qi Wuxue asked someone to deliver was the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. Back in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland, the few major factions had worked together to fight over it. In the end, the Muddy Sky Gate ended up winning it.
This was another valuable treasure. When everyone saw it, their eyes turned bloodshot with fervent expressions.
Following that, the Corpse Race White Bone Sovereign's descendant, the Dragonman, delivered his congratulatory gift. However, this Dragonman's gift was rather special. It was a note.
This note recorded the traces of the Despair Throne, which the Dragonman had found in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. This was useful and practical information to Xiao Chen.
"Congratulations. This lady does not have much to give, so I will give you a Soul Gathering Pearl." The Ghost Race's Qing Cheng stepped forward and delivered her congratulatory gift.
Although Qing Cheng spoke casually, it still caused a significant commotion.
What was the use of a Soul Gathering Pearl? When a person died, their three spiritual souls and seven physical souls would immediately scatter. A Soul Gathering Pearl could ensure that the soul would not scatter for seven days.
If one's physical body did not deteriorate within seven days, it could create a heaven-defying miracle of resurrection.
At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Xiao Chen. It was like they were looking at a human-shaped treasure trove. If anyone managed to rob Xiao Chen, they would obtain boundless wealth.
"Young Master Xiao, a stranger asked me to pass this painting to you during the King conferral ceremony. Congratulations on being conferred King."
A Fiend Race cultivator that Xiao Chen did not recognize stepped forward and handed him a painting.
Xiao Chen unfurled the painting, feeling somewhat confused. The painting was only black and white. It depicted the scene behind the Bridge of Helplessness in the Nine Layers of Purgatory.
Behind the headless Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, an azure-clad man was looking at the fragments of the six paths of reincarnation. Xiao Chen could only see his back, not his appearance.
Aside from this, there was nothing special about it. It was just a very simple painting.
With so many people, Xiao Chen found it strange. However, he did not show it on his face. He carefully put away the painting and said to the person who came, "Many thanks. This painting is very important to me. An old friend of mine gave it to me."
The person who came smiled and said, "Young Master Xiao is too polite. It was just a slight effort on my part."
Not many people came to give congratulatory gifts to Xiao Chen. Compared to Xiao Hou Jue's many sects, it was much more deserted.
However, at this point, everyone knew that the main character of the King conferral ceremony had already changed from Xiao Hou Jue to Xiao Chen.
Or rather, the main character had never changed. This was Xiao Chen's King conferral ceremony.
Just when everyone thought that the shock was over, a congratulatory gift from the Chaotic Demonic Sea shocked everyone again, flabbergasting them.
The newly crowned Empress of the Chaotic Demonic Sea's Merfolk Race sent a congratulatory gift for Xiao Chen's King conferral — the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure Neptune's Crown. This was a bona fide Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. Furthermore, it was a Secret Treasure that Neptune used back then.
As Xiao Chen received Neptune's Crown, he knew that Yao Yan already had the Thorn Sovereign Circlet and that this Neptune's Crown was unnecessary.
However, this was an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure that Neptune used in the past. Yet, Yao Yan gave it away just like that.
It looked like Xiao Chen felt guilty about what happened in the Neptune Palace.
The segment of congratulatory gifts finally came to an end. Compared to the two, Xiao Hou Jue was utterly embarrassed, like a joke.
In the distant honored guest stands, the Phoenix's Passion Palace's Nuan Muyun and the Divine Martial Gate's Feng Wuji both revealed expressions of lingering fear.
Back then, the Three Holy Masters intended to send out one person to suppress Xiao Chen. Because the two did not have much ambition, they did not care about it, so they gave it to Xiao Hou Jue.
If they had not rejected it back then, the one standing on the platform would have been them. When they thought about what happened to Xiao Hou Jue today, they all trembled in fear.
Nuan Muyun sighed softly, "Xiao Hou Jue is a little too obsessed with these external things. He places too much importance on these external things. If his heart is a little more relaxed, with his talent, his strength can go a step further. "
Feng Wuji shook his head and said, "He has always been the strongest person of the human race's younger generation. When he met with Xiao Chen, who appeared out of nowhere, his mentality became unstable. Actually, this is understandable. Today's matter might not only be bad for him."
Nuan Muyun looked around and said calmly, "This Xiao Chen is indeed strong. However, he has made too many enemies, and his sharpness is too strong. There might be variables in his King conferral."
"What variables?"
Nuan Muyun pointed in a direction and said, "Look over there. That pale-faced youth in black is the Dongyue Ghost Emperor's personal disciple, Xie Zixuan. From the moment Xiao Chen arrived, the killing Qi in his eyes never disappeared.
"Look over there. That is the Corpse God Palace's Heaven Punishing Corpse God's disciple, Xing Jue. He is the strongest person of the Corpse Race's younger generation. When Xiao Chen made his move earlier, I also noticed the killing Qi in his eyes.
"There is also Di Wuque. Even now, I still cannot see through him. I wonder what he is planning.
"The backers of these three are the strongest experts of the Kunlun Realm. They are the most ambitious. How could they just watch as Xiao Chen is conferred King?
"As for the descendants of the other Sovereign Martial Emperors, there is no telling if he can successfully obtain the Blue Dragon King's insignia."
Feng Wuji looked in the direction Nuan Muyun pointed. When he heard what she said, surprise appeared on his face. Clearly, he had not expected Xiao Chen to have so many strong enemies.
The Dongyue Ghost Emperor, Emperor Forsaken, and Xingtian were all experts who were as famous as the Thunder King. Before Di Wuque and the other two came, they might have received instructions from them.
Next was the conferment of the King's insignia. With this insignia, Xiao Chen would gain the Bushin Palace's recognition.
Xiao Chen's conferment of the Blue Dragon King would be thoroughly acknowledged.
Xiao Hou Jue should be able to obtain this insignia very easily. However, if Xiao Chen wanted to obtain it, it would be somewhat difficult.
Before obtaining the insignia, the Bushin Palace allowed cultivators of the same generation to challenge the conferment of King. Under normal circumstances, on account of the Bushin Palace, they would stop at a certain point and exchange pointers.
However, right now, the Bushin Palace, which was under the control of the Three Holy Masters, clearly did not support Xiao Chen, nearly shedding all pretense of cordiality.
Xiao Chen could no longer rely on the big tree that was the Bushin Palace. He could only rely on himself now.
A pretty maidservant stepped forward, carrying a tray with the White Tiger King's insignia on it. It flickered with a silver light, giving off a treasured light. This was an extremely high-quality Secret Treasure in itself.
After the oath of loyalty was completed, the pretty maidservant picked up the White Tiger King's insignia and prepared to pin it on Xiao Hou Jue's chest.
Once it was pinned on, Xiao Hou Jue would be able to openly call himself the White Tiger King from now on.
"Chi!"
When the insignia was completely imprinted on Xiao Chen's chest, it turned into a white tiger and merged with his clothes. His White Tiger Battle Armor also underwent some changes, seeming to be filled with more spirituality.
As expected, he was successfully conferred King, and no one came to challenge him.
Standing at the side, Xiao Hou Jue glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Please, according to the Bushin Palace's rules, once you fail to be conferred King, all the congratulatory gifts will have to be returned. I look forward to your exciting expression at that time."
This kind of person would always wait to see you make a fool of yourself. As long as you stumbled slightly, they would hit you while you were down and mock you with all their might.
The maidservant brought the Blue Dragon King's insignia. The insignia was green in color and had the image of a dragon engraved on it. It gave off a faint green light, misty and dreamy.
Under the guidance of the black-clad old man, Xiao Chen completed the oath of loyalty ceremony. After the old man recited some cumbersome words, he said, "Time has passed. The Blue Dragon King's insignia has been covered in dust for tens of thousands of years. Now, I bestow it to you. I hope you cherish it and take care of it."
"Humph! How noble is the title of Blue Dragon King? To think that the Bushin Palace would so casually bestow it on a nobody. I, Ren Kongjue, will not accept this."
A cold shout rang out, and a tall and sturdy figure landed heavily on the platform. It was the Kuafu Clan's Ren Kongjue.
"Bang!"
When Ren Kongjue landed, it was like a mountain crashing down, creating a loud sound. Dust flew up, and a shock wave split mountains. The compressed space rippled like water as it surged out.
It's here, Xiao Chen thought to himself as calm as still water, "It's here."
The one that should come finally came. I will settle all the grudges of the past in this King conferral ceremony.
Anyone who obstructs me from being conferred King will be defeated by me. No one will be able to escape my defeat.
Who was Ren Kongjue? He was an outstanding talent of the ancient Kuafu Clan. He had appeared in recent years. The moment he appeared, he shone brightly in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake, daring to compete with Di Wuque.
The sand and dust that Ren Kongjue kicked up could split mountains. One could easily imagine how strong he was.
