[PS: Update complete.]
King Jing was channeling his energy while holding the black badge. He ignored everything around him and did not look up at the giant light door.
The light ball suddenly appeared above his head and entered through his Baihui acupuncture point.
His body shone brightly. His beard and purple robe fluttered as he slowly floated up and hovered ten meters in the air as if he was in a strong wind.
The people looked at him curiously, then at the smaller Leng Wufeng who was standing in front of the light door.
Leng Wufeng seemed to be looking down before he descended along the golden light pillar and returned to the top of King Jing's head in an instant.
The golden light pillar disappeared.
As the giant light door in the sky slowly disappeared, a graceful voice was faintly heard. The people were mesmerized by it and could not pull themselves away.
When Chu Li heard the graceful voice, he vaguely felt that it was similar to the Tian Luo Sect's Musical Assassination Technique.
It seemed like the Tian Luo Sect had a powerful background as well. It was probably a heart technique passed down from the Outland. He had to study it carefully and not underestimate it.
Leng Wufeng slowly opened his eyes and gave a fist salute to the twelve High Dukes to thank them.
He was in high spirits as if he was bathed in a layer of light that was warm and clear. He did not look like an ordinary person but a deity. The chancellors around him felt an inexplicable sense of respect.
Xiao Tieying and the other twelve High Dukes returned the gesture. Their faces were pale and they looked weak as if they had just gone through a great battle. The light from the High Duke Badge had depleted their inner energy, so they needed to recuperate.
The light on King Jing's body slowly receded and dimmed. Finally, it vanished into his body and he gently landed on the ground.
Chu Li could feel the surging force from King Jing's body. Although it was not as strong as Leng Wufeng's, it was already shocking. His cultivation level had skyrocketed and he was even stronger than Chu Li!
Chu Li initially thought that even if he could not defeat an Enlightened Master, he could easily defeat a Grandmaster. However, after witnessing King Jing's cultivation level, he knew that he had to work harder.
King Jing slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with cold electricity. When their eyes met, Chu Li felt like his eyes were being burned and he dared not look him in the eye.
Xiao Qi exclaimed softly, "What a powerful cultivation level!"
Chu Li nodded.
Seeing is believing. The Outland was indeed the Outland. The power of a single light ball was truly powerful. This one move was equivalent to hundreds of years of cultivation by others. How could such a method not be respected, feared, and envied?
Leng Wufeng said in a deep voice, "From today onward, King Jing will be conferred the title of Crown Prince by the Outland! … You've worked hard, please go ahead. "
Chu Li kept staring at the Crowning Heaven Altar.
When the 12 High Duke Medallions were activated, the runes on the medallions seemed to be flowing with a faint aura. It seemed like there was something special about them, but they did not affect the medallions. It seemed like without them, the medallions could still unleash enough power to open the gate to Beyond Heaven and send Leng Wufeng up.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
These symbols seemed to have appeared when the High Duke's Order was activated. The strangeness was the most obvious when the Divine Gate was opened. Once the Divine Gate was closed, the strangeness disappeared.
Could it be that these symbols were related to the Realm Beyond Heaven?
With a flash of light, Leng Wufeng and King Jing disappeared from the altar.
Xiao Qi said, "Second Eldest Sister, let Big Brother rest in the Imperial Residence."
"Okay." Xiao Shi nodded.
The people around the Crowning Heaven Altar remained quiet. No one spoke loudly because they were all shocked by the scene earlier. Chu Li shook his head. This scene was more effective than any words, it made people respect and loyal.
When the 12 heir High Dukes left the altar, the Imperial House's internal guards quickly went forward and surrounded them. They were afraid that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so they escorted them away.
Xiao Qi fluttered over and called out, "Big Brother!"
Xiao Tieying looked over and smiled. He quickly waved at her. "Little Younger Sister!"
Xiao Qi waved at him and said, "Don't rush back. Come to the Imperial Residence to rest."
"… Alright." Xiao Tieying hesitated for a while before he nodded. He smiled at the four Imperial House's internal guards beside him. "There's no need to trouble you, Sirs. I have the Imperial Residence's protectors here, it's fine."
The four elders with white eyebrows and beards shook their heads.
"Heir Xiao, we've been ordered to send you back to the High Duke's Public House. We can't leave, "one of the elders said," We don't dare to stop you from going anywhere, but we'll have to follow closely. "
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you then." Xiao Tieying smiled.
Xiao Tieying walked in front of Xiao Qi and looked at her. "Little Younger Sister, you look good."
Xiao Qi smiled. "Big Brother, why didn't you greet us before you came?"
"I didn't have time." Xiao Tieying shook his head. "We came here in secret, no one knows. We only left a letter for your sister-in-law."
Xiao Qi said, "Let's go, Second Eldest Sister is waiting over there."
The two of them and the four Imperial House's internal guards came to Chu Li.
Chu Li smiled and fist saluted, calling him Big Brother.
Xiao Tieying was elated.
Although the siblings often met up, Chu Li would often bring Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi back to the High Duke's Public House and stay for a night or two before returning to the Imperial Residence when no one was paying attention.
However, he was exceptionally happy to be able to meet them in Fairy's Capital.
On the way back, Chu Li and Xiao Tieying walked side by side. The protectors around them spread out and kept a distance between them.
"Big Brother, the High Duke's Public House has the right to deny the succession of the throne. If King Jing doesn't ascend the throne in the future, will the High Duke's Public House really object?" Chu Li pondered.
"Under normal circumstances, it won't. Isn't it the same for every Emperor? There's no difference to the High Duke's Public House, so why should we object? Unless the High Duke's Public House has an obligation to object to the Emperor's Public House, if not, this right will not be used. "
Chu Li said, "Then can the High Duke's Public House appoint the Emperor?"
"… You guessed it?" Xiao Tieying looked at him in surprise.
Chu Li said, "I have a vague feeling."
He felt that after the light from the twelve High Duke's Orders entered the Emperor's Token, it did not become stronger. It was still them, and then opened the door to the Outland.
He thought that even without the Emperor's Token, the twelve High Duke's Tokens could still open the door to the Outland. In that case, they might be able to reach Heaven and decide the successor to the throne.
Xiao Tieying looked around and said in a low voice, "This is a big secret of the High Duke's Public House. It can't be leaked."
Chu Li said, "To be able to abolish the throne, it really can't be leaked."
This would damage the Imperial Family's prestige, and it would be a taboo for the High Duke's Public House.
He pondered again and said, "This kind of throne isn't easy, right?"
"When the Imperial Family is weak, it's time for the High Duke's Public House to stand up. When the Imperial Family is strong, the High Duke's Public House will hide outside. The throne must be of the Leng Family's bloodline. If others can't do it, there will be some other price to pay, "Xiao Tieying said slowly.
Chu Li nodded. "Once the Crown Prince is confirmed, the Emperor's throne will be as stable as a rock. Can there be any accidents?"
"Of course," Xiao Tieying said, "If the Crown Prince is unpopular and arrogant, he will have no chance to be the Emperor."
Chu Li nodded. "That's good."
Xiao Tieying looked at Chu Li. "Chu Li, why are you so concerned about the Emperor's throne? Has King Ping not given up yet?"
He knew that Chu Li and King Ping were close.
Chu Li smiled and did not refute.
