In just one short morning, everything that happened at the conferment ceremony was enough to rock the entire Canglong Dynasty.
Ye Xiu, in the position of the Holy Son, was killed with one sword by everyone's so-called "waste of space"!
Ye Xiu summoned the king-level demonic beast Zi Yi Tian Peng as well as a Star Emperor powerhouse, injuring the North Ice Star Emperor. Ultimately, the North Ice Star Emperor fled!
Yue Guan, who was most likely to become the Guardian General, was thrown into prison. Then the Retired Emperor personally announced that Ye Haotian would defend his title of Guardian General!
The conferment ceremony continued until nightfall before it finally ended.
After that, the Retired Emperor specially held a night banquet.
Canglong Lake.
The largest lake within the imperial palace. Banquet tables were placed all around it, with lotus lanterns floating on the lake's surface, rippling slightly. It was amazingly picturesque.
Ye Xiu sat alone on a painted barge.
His father was being toasted by all the major nobles, but he didn't like those people in power. As for Mo Lao, he didn't let Mo Lao stay for long, since this was Canglong Imperial Palace, so there was no need.
Thus, Ye Xiu was sitting alone on the painted barge, drifting along with the waves.
Watching the ripples on the lake surface, he thought to himself: When will I be able to take my nine fairy sisters on a boat and appreciate such a beautiful scene together?
Just then, an exquisite figure descended onto the painted barge Ye Xiu was on, graceful as a heavenly fairy. Moonlight spilled down, casting a faint silvery veil over her already jade-like complexion, making her appear even more dazzling and translucent.
Ye Xiu looked up and the delight in his eyes gradually chilled as well.
The newcomer was none other than Cang Xuanyue.
Cang Xuanyue stepped lightly on the moonbeams and sat gently across from Ye Xiu.
"Brother Ye Xiu," her voice was as melodious as a hundred singing birds, soothing to listen to. It was like an electric current running through him, making his whole body tingle.
A hint of light flashed through Ye Xiu's eyes. It had been three years since their broken engagement, so this was the first time she had called him that again.
Cang Xuanyue's beautiful eyes lowered and she gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Brother Ye Xiu, it's only right that you ignore me. After all, it was Xuanyue who wronged you. For what happened three years ago, I should take the blame."
Tears shimmered in Cang Xuanyue's eyes, evoking sympathy.
She looked towards the faint ripples on the lake surface, "When we were young, we often sat together like this on painted barges, appreciating the scenic beauty of Canglong Lake..."
Memories slowly surfaced in her mind. Although Ye Xiu hadn't experienced those events himself, that beautiful time was deeply engraved in his impressions.
"Those were really wonderful memories," Ye Xiu slowly turned his head, his cold eyes fixed on Cang Xuanyue, "But three years ago, why did you have to act so cruelly?"
From childhood until now, she had never been so heartless towards him.
Ever since their broken engagement three years ago, Cang Xuanyue hadn't said a single word to him for a full three years!
"I, Cang Xuanyue..." she began tremblingly.
Just then, a golden radiance as dazzling as the sun suddenly enveloped the pitch-black night sky.
In that moment, countless people were incredibly shocked as they looked up.
Having just experienced the upheaval Ye Xiu had caused that morning, the first thought in most people's minds was that this must be another move by Ye Xiu - had he called out to another expert?
Cang Xuanyue closed her mouth, a teardrop rolling down her cheek before she lightly wiped it away. Her expression hardened back into remote iciness.
Watching Cang Xuanyue's retreating figure, Ye Xiu couldn't help but feel that three years ago, her annulment of their engagement may not have been what she truly wanted, but rather, something she was forced into against her will!
He walked to the prow of the boat. The blinding golden light forced him to raise a hand to shade his eyes.
Ye Xiu's eyes faintly trembled.
Above the night sky, a golden lotus was suspended over Canglong Lake.
A woman clothed in snowy white robes sat upon the golden lotus, ethereal as a dream. Her face was veiled, but with just her eyes revealed, their gaze alone caused all surrounding scenery to dim in comparison.
One could well imagine that beneath the veil must be a shockingly peerless beauty.
"The Immortal Lotus Sanctum has come to pay a visit to the Canglong Dynasty!" Her voice was gentle yet cold, piercing to the bone. It contained a commanding pressure that shook heaven and earth.
As her voice faded, countless people froze in place, stunned.
Even Cang Yang and the others couldn't help their eyes violently shaking as they gazed up in awe.
The Immortal Lotus Sanctum - in the Star Continent, who didn't know this existence?
As one of the Nine Great Sanctums occupying the nine Central Domains, they were the overlord of the two prefectures!
For a time, apart from shock, continuous exclamations of awe rose one after another.
"We greet the Fairy Maiden of the Immortal Lotus Sanctum!"
Cang Yang glanced at Cang Xuanyue, then shot a look at Ye Xiu on the boat. He couldn't help but sigh, such was the hand of fate.
Just then, the woman on the golden lotus slowly spoke, her voice divine, "Xuanyue, have you let go of everything now?"
Cang Xuanyue slowly raised her head, "Master, Xuanyue has let go."
"Good. Then come back with me." As she finished speaking, a swirl of golden divine light descended and brought Cang Xuanyue directly onto the golden lotus.
Watching this scene, Ye Xiu's eyes wildly shook. Xuanyue had joined the Immortal Lotus Sanctum!
Ye Xiu was caught completely off guard.
Cang Xuanyue's beautiful eyes lowered again and she exchanged one final glance with Ye Xiu, the guilt in her eyes gradually being concealed.
"Brother Ye Xiu, I'm sorry. Seeing that you've grown up now, I can rest assured..."
"Farewell."
Pain wrenched Cang Xuanyue's heart.
From this day forth, Cang Xuanyue would be the Immortal Lotus Sanctum's Saintess!
As this voice faded, the golden lotus transformed into rays of golden light tens of thousands of feet long before disappearing into the dark night.
Ye Xiu's gaze flickered. Indeed, you're still keeping things from me, aren't you?
Just now, what were you trying to tell me?

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
