Chapter 50, On the Eve of the Coronation [Please Read On!] [Bonus Chapter]
After Jiang Yifei finished speaking, he added, "In addition, the innate Dao embryo is now the Holy Son of Yaochi."
"Yaochi broke ancient traditions for him..."
"This person's current status is not worth us turning against Yaochi for the sake of a few followers and Yichen's face."
"You!" Jiang Yichen was so angry that his face turned pale.
The Jiang family patriarch, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. His voice wasn't loud, but every word carried weight: "That's enough."
The hall fell silent instantly.
The Holy Master of the Jiang Family glanced at Jiang Yichen, then looked at Jiang Yifei, nodded, and said, "Yifei is right."
"The Jiang family has no shortage of enemies, but they also have no shortage of brains."
"The Holy Son of Yaochi is not someone we can easily mess with."
The red-faced old man wanted to say something, but was silenced by a single glance from the Holy Lord.
Jiang Yifei lowered his eyes and said nothing more.
……
The Ji family.
Ji Haoyue had just finished cultivating from the strange phenomenon, and the moonlight around her had not yet completely dissipated when a single sentence from a clan elder ignited a fighting spirit in her eyes.
"The Holy Son of Yaochi?"
"A primordial Dao embryo?"
He stood silently in the moonlight for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Interesting... When?"
"One month later."
"I plan to attend the ceremony in person."
The Ji family elder was taken aback.
"A primordial Dao embryo is worth seeing."
After saying that, Ji Haoyue added, "I also want to see how strong this Holy Son of Yaochi is..."
……
demon clan
After the Peacock King finished delivering the message, Yan Ruyu sat silently by the stone table for a long time.
Qin Yao couldn't help but speak first, "Your Highness, that Yaochi Holy Son with the innate Dao embryo..."
"Could this be Su Ye, whom we met in the Yan Kingdom?"
Yan Ruyu did not answer, but gently touched the rim of the teacup with her fingertips.
Innate Dao Embryo, Holy Son of Yaochi...
She suddenly smiled, with a hint of something indescribable.
The Peacock King glanced at her and said, "Doesn't Your Highness intend to go and take a look?"
"go."
Yan Ruyu put down her teacup and said softly, "Since they have invited our demon race, I, as the princess of the demon race, should be present."
……
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.
Yaochi Sacred Land.
The Queen Mother of the West sat on a high throne, with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and Yao Jin standing on her left and right respectively.
When Su Ye walked in from outside the hall, he could feel thirteen pairs of eyes on him at the same time.
They were all core elders of Yaochi.
The Queen Mother of the West didn't beat around the bush and said softly, "I will crown you in three days."
"Your identity will no longer be a secret."
"Now the entire Big Dipper knows that the Holy Son of Yaochi is a male innate Dao embryo."
She paused, her tone becoming more serious.
"You know what's going on, whether it's open attacks or covert maneuvers, right?"
Su Ye nodded.
The Queen Mother of the West began to proclaim the authority of her holy son.
The complete text of the *Xihuang Jing* can be studied and understood at any time.
Each month, there are 30,000 catties of raw materials, three bottles of Strengthening Pills, and two medicinal herbs that are 500 years old.
You may apply to borrow any of the cultivation sites in Yaochi.
Elder Yao Jin is the daily protector of the path.
The Holy Son of Yaochi is hereby granted a token, which allows him to mobilize a portion of the outer sect's forces.
Finally, a token made entirely of celestial green flew out from her sleeve and landed in Su Ye's hand.
The token felt slightly cool to the touch; it was made of divine jade from the heavens and contained an imprint of celestial light.
Su Ye accepted the token and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Holy Lord."
The Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi: "You will be in charge of the grand ceremony."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi rose and bowed, saying, "This disciple obeys."
As soon as Su Ye stepped out of the Immortal Pool Palace, a figure resembling a young Taoist boy darted out from behind a pillar and grabbed his leg.
"Big brother!"
Jiang Tingting tilted her head back, her eyes shining like two black grapes.
She was dressed in a white Taoist robe, her hair was styled into two small buns, and she looked much rounder than when she was in the small town.
"You came here?"
Su Ye gently rubbed her little head.
"The Holy Maiden sent me!"
Jiang Tingting said matter-of-factly, "She said my big brother is going to be the Holy Son, and she wanted me to see what the Holy Son looks like!"
Su Ye chuckled and said, "So, did you see it clearly?"
Jiang Tingting tilted her head and sized him up for a while, then nodded seriously and said, "I see clearly now, he's still my big brother, he hasn't changed!"
"From now on, Tingting will call the big brother 'Holy Son Brother'!"
Jiang Tingting suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "These past few days, the Holy Maiden has been leading everyone in setting up the altar, and many people have been secretly asking about it."
"Oh?"
Su Ye became interested and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"Ask if Senior Brother Holy Son is easy to talk to, whether he's fierce, and if he finds them noisy."
Jiang Tingting continued, "Some people are even speculating whether you're exceptionally skilled, saying that your cultivation of the Innate Dao Embryo is faster than everyone else's."
Su Ye didn't reply, but simply patted her head and chuckled, "So what did Tingting say?"
Jiang Tingting puffed out her chest and said proudly, "I say, Holy Son Brother is the best! The best in the world!"
During the three days of preparation, everyone at Yaochi was in a flurry of activity.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi personally supervised the setup of the altar.
The altar is set up on the Nine Heavens Jade Platform by the Immortal Pool. The nine steps correspond to the nine heavens, and each step is inlaid with array patterns, echoing the Emperor's Weapon Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda.
She stood at the highest point of the altar, and commands flew from her mouth.
The spirit banner is moved three inches to the left, the nodes of the magic array are checked again, and the guest seating is arranged according to power without error.
"Senior Sister Saintess is talking a lot today."
A young female disciple covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.
"Nonsense, the coronation of the Holy Son is a momentous event in the history of Yaochi. Senior Sister is very nervous."
The female disciples whispered among themselves as they worked, their eyes occasionally glancing toward the bamboo grove courtyard.
A few of the bolder ones simply took a detour past the entrance to the courtyard, pretending to pass by, and peeked inside.
Yao Jin was in charge of security and inspected the sacred site's protective array three times from beginning to end.
The oppressive aura of the Immortal Tears Green Gold Pagoda enveloped the entire sacred land, and any unauthorized divine sense probing would be directly crushed back by the aura of the imperial weapon.
Su Ye has not left the house for the past three days, sitting cross-legged in the bamboo hut to consolidate his fifth-level Dao Palace realm.
The five Dao Palace deities circulated the five elements within his body, and his aura became even more solid than when he first broke through.
The eve of the coronation.
A female disciple brought over the dress for tomorrow.
The holy son's robe was white with gold patterns, the cuffs were embroidered with Taoist patterns of the Jade Pool, and a jade-colored brocade belt was tied around his waist.
As Su Ye took the clothes, the female disciple blushed and said before leaving, "See you tomorrow, Holy Son Senior Brother."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi made one last visit.
"Many foreign guests will be attending the ceremony tomorrow."
"Yaoguang and the Jiang family are both among those invited."
She paused, a hint of ambiguous amusement in her voice: "If anyone tries to cause trouble during the ceremony..."
"Master said there's no need to endure it."
Su Ye met her gaze and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Holy Maiden."
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled slightly, her eyes crinkling, and said, "You should call me Senior Sister now."
Su Ye ignored him.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was not annoyed, she chuckled and turned to leave.
Su Ye withdrew her gaze.
Tomorrow, under the watchful eyes of the entire Big Dipper, he will officially ascend to the position of the Holy Son of Yaochi.
