The King Ceremony, in order to stabilize the Celestial Empire, was mainly about bestowing kings and deterrence.
The young kings of the four Ancient God Temple's chief inheritances had arrived. They each received the Immortal Slaying Sword and guarded Xuanyuan Hongchen's surroundings. Everything was under their control and anyone who wanted to approach had to get their permission.
The four Primordial Kings and Tang Jiayao might not have the highest status, but they had the most authority!
The nobles in the palace all left to prepare. Yan Ao took away all the detailed maps of the Immortal Immortal World. Under Ling Yang's lead, he took over all the armies north of the imperial capital and began setting up the empire's defenses.
Only Ye Qinghan remained in the imperial capital's Imperial Palace.
The four Primordial Kings and Tang Jiayao stood beside Xuanyuan Hongchen, not daring to slack off.
Xuanyuan Hongchen was extremely grateful, he bowed and said, "I haven't had the chance to thank Heaven Suppressing Marquis for your support. Let me salute you."
Ye Qinghan hurriedly helped Xuanyuan Hongchen up and bowed in return. "Your Majesty, you are no longer the North Vanquishing Prince, but the Monarch. Please don't treat your subjects with such respect. I strongly recommended you, not only because of the North Vanquishing Prince, but also because you are my ideal Monarch.
Xuanyuan Hongchen's face flushed red, he nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Heaven Suppressing Marquis. I dare not forget."
Hu …
Ye Qinghan let out a breath of turbid air, he looked at the four Primordial Kings and Tang Jiayao, the Flame Concubine, bowed and said, "Four Primordial Kings, the King's safety is in your hands. Flame Concubine, please let bygones be bygones and forgive me for my ignorance and rudeness."
Tang Jiayao's mouth twitched and she groaned. However, she was now the Flame Concubine and she had promised Concubine Yu that she would not embarrass her. As the Mother of the Celestial Empire, it was not good for her to go against the Celestial Empire's pillar.
"Don't worry, I will not use the Celestial Empire's power to take revenge on you and that stupid bird. However, when the world is at peace, I will definitely go to the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture to teach you all a lesson." Tang Jiayao angrily snorted.
Ye Qinghan smiled embarrassedly while Xuanyuan Hongchen smiled bitterly. It seemed like the Flame Concubine was still angry!
The four Immemorial Monarchs bowed and respectfully said: "Don't worry, Heaven Suppressing Marquis. As long as we don't die, the king won't be harmed at all."
Ye Qinghan nodded his head in satisfaction. The four Primordial Kings were definitely worthy of their reputation. The Ancient God bloodline in their bodies was not inferior to Tang Jiayao's. They had already undergone atavism and their combat power was far stronger than the current him. With their protection, even if a Golden Immortal big shot attacked, they would be able to hold on for a period of time. It was enough to buy enough time for Ping Yang, a big shot in the third realm.
Ye Qinghan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will not be accompanying you any longer. I have to return to the Heaven Suppressing Palace for closed-door training. If you need me, you can send someone to inform me and I will return immediately."
Xuanyuan Hong took a deep breath. She knew that Ye Qinghan needed to go into seclusion. If he could break through to the Undying Immortal World, he would have no worries about the Immortal Kingdom.
"Don't worry, I don't need a single Absolute Saint King for now and the other marquises won't do anything rash. Go into seclusion and when I need you, I will send a Golden Immortal big shot to pick you up." Xuanyuan Hong immediately nodded and said, "I will give you my dragon carriage from before. Also, I will give you three peak Mystic Immortal level Immemorial Birds and six high Mystic Immortal level Immemorial Birds. They are all speed-type immemorial birds. Now that they are outside the Monarch Palace, their speed will save you a lot of time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now. "Ye Qinghan carried the Heaven Suppressing Saber on his back and bowed before leaving.
The dragon carriage was right outside the Monarch Palace. The nine powerful immortal birds were majestic but they were all tamed. Their divine feathers shone brightly and were quite beautiful.
Ye Qinghan boarded the dragon carriage alone and lightly activated the Spirit Control Lock. The birds flew into the sky and disappeared in the north in the blink of an eye.
…
In the Monarch Palace, Tang Jiayao had a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, Fire Concubine is definitely not taking revenge on Heaven Suppressing Marquis but I really suspect that there is a problem with his identity. He might be a descendant of the Yan Clan." Tang Jiayao said in a deep voice.
The four Immemorial Kings looked at Tang Jiayao in surprise and bowed, "Fire Concubine, do you have proof?"
Tang Jiayao shook her head and said seriously, "It was too sudden, I didn't have time to sense it."
However, Xuanyuan Hong shook his head and said, "The hatred between the Yan Clan and the Immemorial Races should be dispersed. From today onwards, no matter if Heaven Suppressing Marquis is a descendant of the Yan Clan or not, don't mention it again. He is recognized by the Immortal Emperor and was personally conferred the title of Heaven Suppressing Marquis to replace Di Suppressing the Heavens. There is no way that the Immortal Emperor doesn't know if Heaven Suppressing Marquis is from the Yan Clan or not.
"Your Majesty, this is no small matter …" Tang Jiayao reminded in a deep voice.
Xuanyuan Hong interrupted Tang Jiayao and asked, "Fire Concubine, did he have any killing intent towards you?"
Tang Jiayao shook her head, indicating that she didn't.
Sigh …
Xuanyuan Hong sighed and said, "Before the Immortal Emperor left, he told me that Heaven Suppressing Marquis can be trusted and there is no need to investigate his identity. He will also treat you with sincerity. So, I don't care about Heaven Suppressing Marquis' identity and you all should stop investigating his identity. Understood?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The four Immemorial Kings and Fire Concubine bowed and replied.
"Remember one more thing. Before the Immortal Emperor returns, Heaven Suppressing Marquis is gone and the Celestial Empire will collapse. It's not that I think too highly of him but that his Crazed Manor Army is too strong. How many people acknowledged Heaven Suppressing Marquis through a live broadcast? If we give up on him, there will be many who will fight for him! If we go against Heaven Suppressing Marquis, how many soldiers do you think we need to take down Heaven Suppressing Manor's Crazed Manor Army? "Xuanyuan Hong looked at the five Immemorial Kings and asked.
As expected of the monarch's soul, Xuanyuan Hong Chen was able to see much further than the others!
"I once said that I would never do something like putting the bow away after the birds have flown. I owe him a debt of gratitude for recognizing my worth. Since he acknowledged me, I will not take the initiative to betray him. This is definitely not a woman's kindness," Xuanyuan Hongchen continued.
The four Immemorial Kings and Fire Concubine immediately understood and they never mentioned this again.
…
Screech!
The nine flying beasts pulled the dragon carriage and flew away, heading straight for the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture.
The journey that would have taken them decades was now completed in just six months with the help of the dragon carriage.
Upon entering the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, Ye Qinghan began to rearrange the personnel.
Lou Aotian was no longer the leader of the outer sect army and replaced Yan Ao as the commander of the three armies.
The Insane Sect's older generation, some from the Eternal World, Xiahou He, Zhan Clan's Son of War and the others were all gathered in the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture City.
"Search for Chess Supreme Saint, tell him that I need someone and the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture's army is lacking a strategist." Ye Qinghan ordered and informed Yan Ao. The entire Celestial Nation was immediately mobilized.
In less than three months, Chess Supreme Saint received the news and was extremely excited. He took the initiative to head to the north camp and was quickly brought to Yan Ao's side.
Yan Ao then asked Ling Yang to send him to the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture.
Chess Supreme Saint was most proficient in the Dao of Chess, he was definitely not inferior to Yan Ao in terms of formations. He also liked to play with formations and politics. Ye Qinghan knew how to use people and was willing to let bygones be bygones. How could he not be happy?
At this moment, Chess Venerable Saint's cultivation level was not very high. He was only at the Beginner Stage of the Immortal Heaven Immortal Realm and was far behind Ye Qinghan. However, Ye Qinghan wanted to use his brain, not his cultivation level.
Ye Qinghan led the Insane Sect's older generation to personally welcome Ling Yang and Chess Supreme.
Chess Supreme Saint did not expect Ye Qinghan to think so highly of him. He was extremely grateful and bowed to express his apologies.
Ye Qinghan looked at Chess Supreme Saint and smiled, "Chess Saint, you know me the best in this world and I know you the best too. So, I would like to appoint you to help me build a five million strong private army. You will be in charge of it. Are you willing to accept this position?"
Chess Supreme Saint laughed and looked at Ye Qinghan, "Hahaha, I didn't think that the brats I had my eyes on back then would become a First Grade Marquis in the Celestial Nation's north and the Heaven Suppressing Marquis in Di Zhen Tian's place. I am very happy. Since you think highly of me, I will not disappoint you. As long as you let a few experts from the Insane Sect's inner sect assist me, I will make the army as strong as the Insane Sect's outer sect in thirty years."
Ye Qinghan smiled and said calmly, "Who do you want? I guarantee it. "
