Nantianmen, the entrance.
Rich immortal spirit energy swarmed towards Cheng Long. The killing spell that was running all the time was like a perpetual motion machine, constantly absorbing energy for Cheng Long and using it for his own benefit.
Feeling the 'riot' of the immortal spirit around her, the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with surprise. She stared blankly for a while, then reached out and patted Cheng Long on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "Mr. Cheng, although the spiritual energy in heaven is more than ten times that of the human world, which makes you very excited, now is not a good time to practice. The Jade Emperor is still waiting for us in the Lingxiao Palace!"
"My lady, I'm sorry, I can't help myself."
Cheng Long smiled awkwardly and adjusted the speed of the Killing Technique to the lowest. The swarming fairy spirit instantly returned to calm.
But if you look closely, you can still see wisps of immortal energy constantly flowing into his body.
Cheng Long's body was like a sponge that had finally received a rain after a long drought, greedily absorbing nutrients.
"Master Cheng, it's rare to find someone as diligent in cultivation as you are!"
"Where, where..."
Cheng Long heard the sarcasm in the Queen Mother's words, but he didn't care. In the Marvel world before, he only met ordinary characters. Odin and Ancient One were not much stronger than him, so he didn't feel much pressure.
But when he came to the world of Precious Lotus Lantern, any well-known immortal had a cultivation level that was far superior to his, so the pressure was extremely great.
Under the guidance of Queen Mother, Cheng Long had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.
"Yaoji~~"
The moment Cheng Long stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, he saw the pure and gloomy-looking Princess Yao Ji.
In the past, Yao Ji always had a faint smile on her face. The family of five loved each other and lived in harmony. Whenever he saw the smile on Yao Ji's face, he felt a little reluctant to be a thief and steal Yang Tianyou's girl.
Now that Yao Ji has become a widow, it should be a good time to take action.
However, he had already accepted Yao Ji's daughter Yang Chan, so it was inconvenient for him to stay with his mother-in-law.
Good luck fooling people!
Yao Ji, who seemed to have lost her soul, saw Cheng Long being brought into the Lingxiao Palace by the Queen Mother. She excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, asking, "Master Cheng, where are Jiao'er and the others now? Are they safe?"
"They are safe in Wuzhuang Temple. I have also sent Brother Yang's body to Wanshou Mountain for burial."
"As long as the children are okay, as long as they are okay..."
Upon learning that the three children were in Wuzhuang Temple, Yao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
What Cheng Long said next made her even happier...
"Sister-in-law, I have good news for you. Jiao'er has become the seventh disciple of Zhenyuan Immortal."
"Really?"
A glimmer of light bloomed in Yao Ji's dim eyes.
Although Zhen Yuanzi is not a saint, he is a well-known person with great supernatural powers second only to saints. Among the quasi-saints of the older generation, the strength of Zhen Yuanzi is the most unfathomable.
Even her brother and sister-in-law did not dare to offend them easily.
The fact that Jiao'er can become Zhen Yuanzi's disciple means that the children's safety is guaranteed.
"Sister-in-law, I would never lie to anyone else but you!" Cheng Long's way of addressing Yao Ji was actually a bit inappropriate. Considering his relationship with Yang Tianyou, it was fine to call Yao Ji sister-in-law.
But the problem is that he is now Yang Chan's fiancé, and calling Yao Ji sister-in-law seems to be trying to please the Jade Emperor.
The person the Jade Emperor hates the most now is Yang Tianyou. Even though Yang Tianyou is already dead, he wants to dig out his corpse and whip it.
If the Queen Mother had not been there to warn the Jade Emperor to keep calm, Cheng Long would have been targeted by the Jade Emperor as well.
As soon as this guy came in, he started chatting enthusiastically with Yao Ji, as if he didn't take the Lord of the Three Realms seriously.
It’s so arrogant!
"Along, thank you for taking the children to Wuzhuang Temple. It relieves me of my worries."
Yao Ji unknowingly changed the way she addressed Cheng Long. It might be because Cheng Long helped her three children, and she subconsciously regarded him as a support, so the way she addressed him became a little ambiguous.
When the Jade Emperor saw this scene, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes. Since his troublesome sister was easily aroused by lust, why not marry her to Master Cheng?
Although the heavenly rules stipulate that immortals should not be tempted by mortal desires, there has always been a tradition in ancient times that "no punishment shall be imposed on scholars and officials." The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother gave birth to seven fairies, and Cheng Long, who is about to become the emperor, naturally has his privileges.
What's more, by marrying his sister to Cheng Long, he could avoid punishment.
As a brother, it is inconvenient for him to openly favor his sister and disregard the laws of heaven, but if he betroths his sister to Cheng Long, he can easily shut up Youyou.
All the gods and Buddhas in the world would only think that the Jade Emperor betrothed his sister to Cheng Long in order to win him over.
There is no alliance more reliable than a brother-in-law!
……
after a while.
"Mr. Cheng, are you willing to join the Lord Heaven and help me govern the Three Realms?"
The Jade Emperor's magnetic voice suddenly rang in his ears. Cheng Long, who was chatting enthusiastically with Yao Ji, suddenly remembered that he still had some important things to do, so he stepped forward and replied, "Junior is willing."
"In that case, I will confer upon you the title of Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Purple Star of the Central Sky, in charge of the laws of nature, the movement of the stars, and the climate of the four seasons..."
The Jade Emperor held the Nine-Dragon Jade Seal in his hand and spoke loudly to confer titles on gods. Although the voice was not very loud, all the gods in the three realms could hear it clearly.
Almost at the same time, a brilliant purple beam of light burst out from the Purple Star Emperor, swooping down from the top of the stars and pouring onto Cheng Long.
Ziwei Star recognizes its master!
The magnificent vision instantly attracted the attention of all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were shocked by the scene before them.
The purple beam of light that penetrated the sky and earth was magnificent and filled with the mighty power of heaven. Under the infusion of this majestic Ziwei Emperor Qi, the aura emitted by Cheng Long continued to rise.
The late stage of true immortality!
The great perfection of true immortality!
Early Golden Immortal, Middle Golden Immortal...
It did not stop until it reached the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
In just a stick of incense, Cheng Long's cultivation level was raised from the True Immortal Realm to the Taiyi Realm, saving him countless years of hard training.
And this is just the beginning.
The recognition of Ziwei Star as its master meant that Cheng Long became the master of a special star, just like Di Jun and Tai Yi in the ancient times. Both Ziwei Star and Sun Star were invaluable imperial stars.
The gods who reside in Ziwei Star or Sun Star all have the destiny of an emperor.
The Jade Emperor merely conferred the title of Ziwei Emperor on Cheng Long, and the Ziwei Emperor Star took the initiative to recognize him as its master. This shows how much people with immense merits are favored by heaven and earth.
Once Cheng Long officially moves into Ziwei Star, his cultivation realm will definitely enter the fast lane. I believe it won’t be long before he can cultivate the five energies in his chest and the three flowers on his head, and officially enter the realm of Daluo.
The duty of the Emperor of Purple Star is to control the principles of heaven and earth and to lead the star gods and mountain and river gods of the three realms. He is the king of all phenomena and can call the wind and rain, control the five thunders, and command ghosts and gods.
Because he controls all the stars, he is also called the Star Lord.
As soon as Cheng Long arrived in Heaven, he took the throne. Many gods in the Lingxiao Palace were envious. Some were jealous, some were amazed, but no one thought that he was unworthy of the position.
If a person who possesses the Golden Wheel of Merit, a person who has just been conferred and recognized as the master by the Emperor Star, is not worthy of this position, who else is qualified? Anyway, the dozens of gods and immortals in the audience have never thought about it...
"Along, congratulations on becoming the Emperor of Ziwei." Yao Ji congratulated from the bottom of her heart.
"Thank you~~" Cheng Long had a faint smile on his face. A few days ago, he was still sighing that Marshal Tianpeng was a wonderful person. He felt that the other party was a good person but not suitable to meet. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became Tianpeng's immediate superior today.
Tianpeng, the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, also known as Marshal Tianpeng, commands 100,000 naval forces in Tianhe.
The other three are Marshals Tianyou, Heisha and Zhenwu, each one more famous than the other.
In addition to the Four Saints of the North Pole, the Ziwei Emperor also has the eleven great star gods of Shangqing, the seven elements of the Northern Dipper, the three stars of the Three Terraces, the six officials of the Southern Dipper, the three true gods of the Central Dipper, the two messengers of Qingyang and Tuoluo, the twelve natal star gods, the twenty-eight constellations, the thirty-six celestial beings, the seventy-two earthly demons, the immortals and spiritual officials in the Dipper, the star gods of the Zhoutian Stars, the Tiangang Great Sage, the Kuigang Star God, and so on.
Absolutely high authority.
However, General Zhenwu, one of the Four Saints of the North Pole under the command of Emperor Ziwei, would later be elevated to Emperor Zhenwu for a series of reasons, almost forming his own lineage.
"Emperor Ziwei, on this joyous day, I would like to strengthen our relationship and betroth my younger sister Yao Ji to you. What do you think?" Just when Cheng Long and Yao Ji were overjoyed, the Jade Emperor's words made them both embarrassed.
Yao Ji's fair and tender cheeks suddenly turned red and hot.
Cheng Long was even more guilty, he trembled all over, and suddenly looked up at the Jade Emperor, afraid that his little thoughts would be discovered by the Jade Emperor.
He did think about becoming a thief, but after Yao Ji and Yang Tianyou betrothed Yang Chan to him, he never thought about hooking up with Yao Ji again, but instead regarded her as an "elder" with whom he could chat.
Who could have thought that the Jade Emperor would suddenly do this.
"Emperor, do you dislike the fact that Yao Ji has given birth to a child?" Seeing that Cheng Long was slow to answer, Queen Mother Wang joked with interest.
"No, no, I'm just a little surprised."
At this time, Cheng Long should have been honest and told the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother that he was Yang Chan's fiancé, but when he saw Yao Ji's charming face, he began to hesitate.
"Your Majesty, you must not..."
Yao Ji looked at Cheng Long, who was excited, and said hurriedly: "Before I came, I had promised my daughter Yang Chan to the emperor, and the emperor agreed."
"Uh……"
The Jade Emperor was stunned. The Sky War God seemed to have mentioned this when he reported, but he was angry at the time and didn't care who to promise his niece to.
This is great, a big mistake has been made.
But he was also eager to protect his sister, and thought that by marrying his sister to Emperor Ziwei, he could avoid punishment, so he forgot everything else.
"Emperor, although Yao Ji said that she would marry her daughter to you, you are not married after all. You can still change your mind now. I think you agreed to marry Yao Ji's daughter Yang Chan in order to save people."
The Queen Mother could see at a glance what the Jade Emperor was planning. Since the man didn't want his sister to suffer, she would naturally help him.
Of course.
The main reason is that Emperor Ziwei has feelings for the Princess of Heaven.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
"..."
Feeling the scrutiny of the immortals, even though Cheng Long was thick-skinned enough, he still felt embarrassed.
"Emperor, Yao Ji secretly came down to earth, married a mortal and had children, leaving the Desire Realm unattended. The desires of the Heavenly Court are rampant, and severe punishment is needed to curb this unhealthy trend. And there is only one way I can exempt her from punishment, and that is to marry you. If you agree to marry her, I owe you a favor."
Suddenly, the Jade Emperor's pleading voice was heard in Cheng Long's sea of consciousness. The Lord of the Three Realms needed to be selfless and without a suitable excuse, the Jade Emperor had to enforce the law impartially even though he loved his sister deeply.
The consequence of Cheng Long not agreeing would be that Ji Yao would be imprisoned forever under Taoshan.
"Your Majesty, you are right. It's not too late to change your mind. I am happy to marry Yao Ji." Since Cheng Long has become an official in heaven, he has to give the Jade Emperor a way out.
Marrying Yao Ji would allow the Jade Emperor to exempt the other party from punishment and avoid irreparable scars between the brother and sister, while he himself would also be able to marry the beauty, which was a win-win situation.
As for the news getting out, Yang Chan might have a mental breakdown, so I just need to explain it clearly later.
I believe Yang Jiao, Yang Jian and Yang Chan can all understand. After all, the consequence of not agreeing is that Yao Ji will be imprisoned under Taoshan forever. Anyone with a little common sense will know that this is the only option.
"In that case, why not wait for a better day..."
To avoid any more trouble, the Jade Emperor looked directly at Yue Lao and ordered: "The Ziwei Palace has not been built yet, Yue Lao, you should arrange a celestial wedding in Yaochi quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Yue Lao retreated in response.
Until then, Yao Ji came back to her senses from the shock of Cheng Long agreeing to marry her. She suddenly stepped forward and persuaded Cheng Long: "Along, don't do this. I'm not worthy of you doing this. Tell my brother quickly that you have changed your mind again. We can't be together."
"Yaoji, I've changed my mind once, what am I going to change it to next?"
As he spoke, Cheng Long grabbed the bewildered Yao Ji and secretly persuaded her with his spiritual sense: "Sister-in-law, the Jade Emperor just secretly persuaded me that marrying you is the only way to exempt you from punishment. I don't think you want to be imprisoned under Taoshan forever, separated from Jiao'er, Jian'er, Chan'er and others, and never see them again, right?"
"But..." Yao Ji hesitated. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Her husband had just died, and now she was giving her life to Cheng Long, a man who had promised to marry her daughter.
This is ridiculous.
Even though she knew that Cheng Long nodded at that time in order to protect Chan'er, and now he had every reason to change his words, she still found it ridiculous.
"Sister-in-law, Chan'er has been smart since she was young. She can figure it out. Don't worry about it."
"No, I can't accept it."
"Do you want to be imprisoned under Taoshan Mountain forever, separated from Chan'er and the other immortals? Or do you want to wait for the children to return from their studies, challenge the Jade Emperor's authority, and split the mountain to save your mother?"
"..."
Yao Ji was speechless after being rebuked by Cheng Long.
Based on her understanding of the children, once they return from school, they will definitely try every possible means to split the mountain to save their mother and completely stand on the opposite side of their brother.
The Jade Emperor is the guardian of order in heaven, and anyone who dares to challenge his authority will be severely punished.
As long as she still thinks about her child, it is impossible for her to refuse to marry Cheng Long.
Because this is her only way of salvation.
"Sister-in-law, even if not for yourself, you should do it for the children..."
"Don't say anything, I'll just marry you."
Yao Ji blocked Cheng Long's connection with her consciousness with a complicated look. (End of this chapter)
