After he spoke, an intense fluctuation appeared in the space. Ripples of the Great Dao swept forth, and an imposing figure walked over, standing at the peak of the Sacred Palace.
The person who came was a man with a valiant appearance. He wore a crown on his head and a golden python gown. He gave off a very dignified atmosphere, as if he was a person of great power. He gave off a mighty might without being angry.
It was the Wind King.
He had once received Shen Changge in the Feng Clan's Heavenly King Residence.
At that moment, he was the same as before. He had a dignified expression, and his eyes were as vast and deep as the starry sky. One would not dare to look straight at them, and would have to lower their heads before the might he emitted.
"I pay my respects to the Wind King!" Shen Changge clasped his fist and bowed slightly, appearing rather respectful.
His current strength had already surpassed the Wind King's. However, the Wind King was still a senior, and had once treated him extremely well, taking care of him.
The Feng Clan was also very friendly to him.
Shen Changge was naturally not a heartless person. He had always remembered the friendship he had with the Feng Heavenly Clan.
That was why he bowed so respectfully.
Otherwise, who in the world would be worthy of him bowing to?
"Young friend, you're being too courteous!" The Wind King revealed a smile upon seeing that. He raised his hands, indicating to Shen Changge that there was no need to be overly courteous. Then, his expression turned serious, and he looked respectfully at the peerless beauty before him. He actually knelt on one knee, and respectfully bowed, "Subordinate Feng Xiaotian pays his respects to the Holy Ruler!"
Luo Yunxi acted as if she did not hear him at all. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her dress swayed. Her back was still facing Feng Xiaotian, and she did not turn around.
At that moment, Feng Xiaotian revealed a bitter smile and a self-mocking expression. He said, "This subordinate has sinned. Back then, I was deceived by Ye Chengfeng, and thought that the Holy Ruler had encountered danger. Because of that, I went to the Sacred Palace to save you. Never would I have thought that it was actually Ye Chengfeng's scheme. This subordinate is ashamed that I was unable to see through the scheme and save the Holy Ruler."
Feng Xiaotian knelt on the peak of the Sacred Palace. His eyes were filled with regret, and a self-mocking expression appeared on his face.
He had let the Holy Ruler down!
He felt guilty towards his own heart.
At this moment, it was as if he was confessing his sins. In reality, it was just as he said. He was completely deceived by the events of that year and knew nothing about it. He didn't expect that the rescue of the Emperor would turn into a conspiracy by Ye Chengfeng.
During these past few years, he'd often feel guilty late at night, and he was unable to overcome the barrier in his heart. He'd always been tormented by regret, and he was far from being as dignified and carefree as he was in the eyes of others.
The world only knew of his boundless glory, but they never knew of his suffering.
He was unable to speak of his suffering and felt ashamed of himself!
"Since you feel so guilty, why didn't you expose Ye Chengfeng's scheme and continue to serve him?" Luo Yunxi still didn't turn around and spat out those cold words.
"There are tens of millions of people in the Feng Clan. I once thought of exposing Ye Chengfeng's crimes and leading the Feng Clan's cultivators to fight against him. However, I could not find the courage to do so. The chances of victory are slim. In the end, I'm afraid that the Feng Clan will suffer a tragic death." Feng Xiaotian replied respectfully. From beginning to end, the members of the Feng Clan had always been his weakness, holding him back.
The Feng Clan had his family and his clansmen. They were all his blood relatives. How could he abandon them?
It was like a cage that firmly trapped him in the center. He couldn't move, and the pressure was so great that he could barely breathe.
His sword had once revealed its sharpness due to familial love, but in the end, its sharpness was also restrained due to familial love. It was no longer as powerful as it used to be.
"I know my sins are grave. Since young friend Shen Changhe came to the Holy City, I guessed that he was the Holy Ruler's successor. Therefore, I took care of him to make up for my past sins." Feng Xiaotian remained kneeling. When he faced Luo Yunxi, his expression was respectful and pious, as if he was waiting for the Holy Ruler to speak.
Just like that, the space fell into a deathly silence. The three of them were speechless for a long time.
Feng Xiaotian also remained kneeling behind Luo Yunxi. He didn't get up.
After a long time.
"Sigh …" Luo Yunxi sighed. She turned around and looked at the valiant man kneeling before her. She sighed and said, "There is no need to mention the past again. Since the main culprit, Ye Chengfeng, has already paid the price, let the past be gone with the wind.
"From today onwards, you are still one of the Ten Heavenly Kings. The Feng Heavenly Clan is still a famous Heavenly Clan in the Holy Dynasty."
After Luo Yunxi's cold and dignified voice sounded, shock appeared on Feng Xiaotian's face. Then, it gradually turned into joy. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, Holy Ruler!"
"From today onwards, Feng Xiaotian and the Feng Clan will serve the Holy Ruler with our lives. We will not go back on our words. If we go back on our words, this subordinate will die and the clan will be exterminated!"
Feng Xiaotian swore his loyalty in a sonorous voice. His words of loyalty were as sincere as an oath.
If he went back on his words, he would die and the clan would be exterminated!
The price was extremely heavy.
From this, it could be seen that after repenting, Feng Xiaotian was wholeheartedly loyal to Luo Yunxi. It was enough to show his sincerity.
"Rise!"
Luo Yunxi nodded lightly. Then, she extended her slender and fair hand from her long sleeves. She raised it in the air and an invisible mighty power spread out, lifting Feng Xiaotian up.
"Thank you, Holy Ruler!" Sure enough, after feeling the mighty power Luo Yunxi released with a raise of her hand, Feng Xiaotian revealed a joyful smile. He asked, "Holy Ruler's injuries have all healed?"
"We'll talk about this later." Luo Yunxi did not reply. Instead, she calmly spoke. Her phoenix eyes looked down at the ruined Holy City with an indifferent expression. No one could guess what she was thinking.
From start to finish, Shen Changge did not say a word. It was as if he was playing the role of a spectator.
At the same time, admiration rose in his heart. He was amazed by Feng Xiaotian's smooth and slick approach and praised Luo Yunxi's methods. Using both kindness and authority, she had unknowingly put aside the enmity of the past and once again accepted Feng Xiaotian's loyalty. It was a display of the magnanimity of a peerless ruler.
She gently raised the air, revealing her unparalleled strength. It formed a subtle deterrence towards Feng Xiaotian.
The tactics of a ruler could be said to have been used to the point of perfection.
"Congratulations, Wind King. From today onwards, we will both serve the Holy Ruler. We can be considered as ministers of the same palace." Shen Changge looked at Feng Xiaotian and chuckled. Then, he asked in surprise, "Wind King, you said that Ye Chengfeng is a selfish person. Why do you say that?"
Regarding this, he was rather puzzled and puzzled.
A cold light flashed in the Wind King's eyes. He sneered, "Ye Chengfeng's life goal is to step into the Immortal Realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm. For this, he can do anything. Why would someone like him care about the lives of the common people?"
"He did this because I saw his stupidity. He made a wedding dress for others and could not step into the Immortal Realm. He would rather die than live in dishonor. Since he could not reach the Immortal Realm, he did not want the beings of the Immortal Path from the outer realms to descend so easily."
Feng Xiaotian's mocking voice echoed in the Sacred Palace. Shen Changge and Luo Yunxi were silent after hearing this.
What Feng Xiaotian said was not impossible.
Ye Chengfeng, no matter what he did in the past, had passed away in the end. Before he died, he released his last light and contributed his strength to the common people. It could be said to be an act of benevolence.
Shen Changge wasn't willing to comment on his merits and demerits.
…
The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth ended with the Sacred King sacrificing himself. He did not hesitate to use the Sacred Dynasty's fortune and used a sealing divine art to block the crack in heaven and earth, preventing the Immortal Path from descending.
However, the world knew very well that this was not the end, but the beginning. The Immortal Path would eventually descend.
Between heaven and earth, billions of people trembled in fear. They were worried that the Immortal Path would descend at any time, causing heaven and earth to collapse and the mountains and rivers to lose their color.
However, at this moment.
The Sacred Dynasty was in chaos.
The previous Sacred King of the Sacred Dynasty, who had disappeared long ago, returned and ruled the Sacred City. Her subordinates were as many as clouds, and the Creation Realm cultivators were all famous peerless figures.
When the Sacred King fell, she came with great force, intending to once again ascend the altar and step onto the supreme position of the Sacred King in this world.
When she descended, the experts under her also took action, waving their blades at the forces loyal to Ye Chengfeng. There were earth-shattering killings everywhere in the Sacred City. It was extremely tragic. Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses were piled up like mountains.
The Evil Palace and other evil forces were slaughtered by the experts under the Sacred King. From then on, their names were erased from the world and no longer existed.
Not only that.
Even the Heavenly Clans that had existed for a long time within the Sacred Dynasty were affected. There was an earth-shattering change, and it could be said that it was a great change of blood. Other than the Feng Heavenly Clan that was the first to submit to the Sacred King, the other Nine Heavenly Clans were all condemned and arrested. Their Heavenly King positions that had been passed down for generations were also taken away. All Creation Realm cultivators were killed without exception.
The Nine Heavenly Clan was unwilling to be captured, so they fought back with all their might. The Creation Realm cultivators of the Nine Heavenly Clans formed an alliance and attacked the Sacred Palace. In the end, they were all covered in blood, and no one returned.
It was said that the Creation Realm cultivators of the Nine Heavenly Clans were all killed. They died outside the Sacred Palace.
They did not even see the Sacred King's face.
After the Creation Realm cultivators of the Nine Heavenly Clans died, the Sacred Dynasty did not return to its former peace. Instead, it became even more chaotic. There were rebellions and killings everywhere, and all of them were shouting the slogan of overthrowing the Sacred King.
They were external clansmen of the Nine Heavenly Clans. They were all below the Creation Realm, and were not completely exterminated. After they escaped from the Sacred City, they used the influence of the Heavenly Clans to openly rebel, causing the world to fall into chaos. Countless innocent lives were lost, and the world was in turmoil.
In the end, all of the rebellions were quelled, and all of the voices of rebellion disappeared.
With that, the Sacred Dynasty entered a period of relative peace.
Within the Sacred Dynasty, new Heavenly Clans were born. They were all experts under the Sacred King. In the past, in the Eastern Heavenly Sacred Divine Assembly, there were the Ten Great Sacred Gods. The top nine Sacred Gods were all bestowed with the title of Heavenly King. Their clans and forces moved over, becoming the new Heavenly Clans of the Sacred Dynasty.
In addition to the Feng Heavenly Clan, there were still the Ten Great Heavenly Clans.
With that, the Sacred Dynasty's authority underwent a great change. The overlord powers were reshuffled. Some of the old overlord powers were destroyed, while some of the new overlord powers rose, becoming the supreme Heavenly Clans of the Sacred Dynasty.
One thing worthy of mentioning was that the Feng Heavenly Clan was like a boulder, unmoving. They were not affected in the slightest.
It was said that due to the change of Heavenly Clans, the Wind King was placed in an important position, and his authority rapidly expanded. The Feng Heavenly Clan also ushered in the most glorious era in history, becoming known as the Number One Heavenly Clan!
The Sacred Clan was still the Sacred Clan of the past. It was a clan passed down from the founder of the Sacred Dynasty, the First Sacred King. Even when Ye Chengfeng was still in power, he still did not dare to go too far. Other than a few experts who were killed for groundless crimes, the rest of the Sacred Clan were safe and sound.
As for Ye Chengfeng himself, he did not produce any descendants. He only left behind a single son, the previous Holy Son. In the end, he was exiled to the Wildlands, and was never allowed to step foot into the Holy City.
The Sacred Dynasty once again ushered in Luo Yunxi's era!
The original Tenth Holy God of the Holy Divine Assembly, Shen Changge, was conferred the title of Sacred Dynasty's Imperial Teacher. His authority and status were great, surpassing the Ten Heavenly Kings. He was passed down as a legend in the Holy City.
It was said that the Imperial Teacher not only had unparalleled talent and terrifying strength, he was also a rarely seen handsome man. He was distinguished and elegant, and legends of him were still circulating in the Eastern Sky.
After quelling all the rebellions, Shen Changge left Luo Yunxi's field of vision.
He had been signing in, cultivating, and increasing his strength. He did not have the slightest bit of slack.
As for the position of Imperial Teacher, it was only later when Feng Lingtian came to visit and accidentally revealed it.
On this day.
Shen Changge received an invitation from Luo Yunxi, inviting him to the Sacred Palace, saying that there was something important to discuss.
In the end, Shen Changge ended his cultivation and went to the Sacred Palace.
… …
Sacred City.
Above the sea of clouds, the enormous buildings of the Sacred Palace stretched endlessly. Numerous palaces and pavilions towered above the firmament, like the palaces of the heavens. As the clouds churned, they were rendered all the more majestic and sacred. They were as majestic and grand as the Heavenly Palace, making one feel a sense of solemnity and respect from the bottom of their hearts.
The Sacred Palace was grand and majestic, solemn and sacred. It was as if it stood at the end of the Nine Heavens. It was located at the highest point of the Sacred Palace. From there, one could overlook the entire Sacred City. One could also see the millions of miles of mountains and rivers outside the Sacred City. Looking at the thousands of lights and picturesque mountains and rivers, the scenery was naturally fresh and pleasant. It made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
At this moment, in the Sacred Palace.
Inside the palace, Luo Yunxi sat on the throne. Today, she wore a golden phoenix brocade dress. It was luxurious and noble, but also extremely majestic. She was like a peerless empress descending to the mortal world.
"What have you been busy with recently?" Luo Yunxi's phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light. She glanced at Shen Changge, who was wearing a snow-white robe.
"I've been busy cultivating." Shen Changge chuckled. He didn't become reserved and respectful because of the change in Luo Yunxi's status. He was still as casual as before.
He raised his head and looked at the roof of the palace, looking as lonely as snow. He let out a long sigh and said, "Although I am already invincible under this starry sky, there are still enemies beyond the heavens. They are constantly spurring me on, making me unable to relax."
Under the starry sky, invincible.
Luo Yunxi felt that Shen Changge was really floating. He was about to float to the heavens.
