Chapter 995: Ice Immortal Pearl (1/2)

After Xia Houjue put on the White Tiger King Armor, he looked very mighty. A sect immediately came forward to present a gift.

This sect offered a Peak Spirit Vein. The wealth of a Rank 9 sect was indeed extraordinary.

As Xia Houjue received the gifts, he smiled faintly and looked playfully at Xiao Chen.

“The Thousand Mystery Sect congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up fifty tons of Black Patterned Gold.”

“The Clear Water Sect congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up fifty tons of one-thousand-year-old Profound Iron.”

“The Blood Saber Pavilion congratulates Young Master Xia Houjue on being conferred King. We hereby offer up a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.”

Given the connections of the White Emperor City’s Holy Master, all the Rank 9 sects of the Tianwu Domain, aside from the Supreme Sky Sect, offered gifts. The scene looked very majestic.

This procession continued for an hour before the number of people from the Tianwu Domain offering gifts dwindled down.

Delighted, Xia Houjue smiled. He purposely waved at Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Xiao, there are too many gifts, my hands are rather tired from accepting them. If Brother Xiao does not receive any gifts, you can come over later and pick a few.”

The black-clad old man smiled and said, “This is the difference between a Holy Land and an ordinary sect. Some people are so bold, even daring to be conferred King together with Young Master Xia.”

Xiao Chen frowned, not understanding what there was to be pleased about. He only cared about the t.i.tle of Azure Dragon King. Aside from this, the rest was pointless.

As for congratulations and gifts, he really did not care about them. All he cared about now was his t.i.tle.

Xia Houjue was the White Tiger King. Would Xiao Chen be the White Robed King or the Azure Dragon King?

If it was the former, then there was no need for Xiao Chen to remain at this King conferral ceremony. He would beat up Xia Houjue and vent out all his frustrations before leaving.

If it was the Azure Dragon King, he could endure his frustration for now and vent it later.

The announcement of Xia Houjue’s t.i.tle was already finished. Next up was receiving his insignia and pledging loyalty to the Martial G.o.d Palace. After these, he would truly be the Martial G.o.d Palace’s White Tiger King.

Xia Houjue would be able to declare his own King t.i.tle outside. Within the Martial G.o.d Palace’s territory, he would receive special treatment.

However, Xiao Chen’s King t.i.tle had to be announced, and he needed to receive congratulations and gifts first before Xia Houjue could receive his insignia.

The black-clad old man took out the Martial G.o.d Palace’s announcement reluctantly. “Xiao Chen, one million military merits, conferred the Azure Dragon King by the Thunder Sovereign himself.”

Compared to Xia Houjue’s lengthy announcement, the black-clad old man’s announcement of Xiao Chen’s King t.i.tle was much simpler, his tone clearly unwilling and half-hearted.

However, these meager words, especially the last few “by the Thunder Sovereign himself” caused everyone present to suck in a deep breath of air.

Xiao Chen’s t.i.tle was actually personally conferred by the Thunder Sovereign, the strongest expert of the human race, a legend from the same period as the Azure Emperor. To everyone, this was not a minor matter.

When Xia Houjue saw everyone’s reactions, he felt displeased. He thought to himself, Just wait. Let’s see how many gifts you receive.

Let’s see how pleased you will be when you receive a pile of rubbish.

“The Supreme Sky Sect’s Shui Lingling congratulates Xiao Chen on being conferred King!”

When the black-clad old man finished reading the announcement, Shui Lingling flew over holding a wooden box. She walked over to Xiao Chen after she landed and smiled. “Junior Brother, congratulations on being conferred King. This is my gift.”

Xiao Chen received the wooden box and was not in a rush to open it. He raised his head and said, “Thank you, Senior Sister.”

“Are you not going to open it to take a look?” Shui Lingling blinked.

Standing at the side, Xia Houjue mocked, “It is just trash. How could he have the nerve to open it?”

Xiao Chen frowned. He was already extremely frustrated with the Three Holy Lands, especially the City Master of the White Emperor City.

It was not an exaggeration to say that his path to being conferred Kings.h.i.+p was filled with death.

Fortunately, the Thunder Sovereign stood up for him and helped him obtain the Azure Dragon King t.i.tle, so Xiao Chen did not want to cause trouble now.

When Xiao Chen gently opened the wooden box, cold Qi surged out. The sky instantly filled with dancing snowflakes.

A pure and transparent cold pearl in the box slowly flew out, and snow immediately started drifting through the entire Tianwu Plaza.

Someone stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake. Then, his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, “That is the long-lost Ice Immortal Pearl. Legend says that it is a treasure of the Immortal Epoch. After refining it, one can immediately comprehend a Great Perfection will of ice.”

“That thing actually exists. It is a treasure that can allow one to comprehend one more will.”

Exclamations resounded everywhere. Everyone revealed an envious gaze as they stared at the wooden box in Xiao Chen’s hand.

Just this one Ice Immortal Pearl already surpa.s.sed all the gifts that Xia Houjue received.

Xia Houjue’s face darkened slightly. He had not expected Shui Lingling to give such a precious gift.

Furthermore, he called it trash earlier. This was slapping his own face; he dearly wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.

Xiao Chen put away the Ice Immortal Pearl and smiled at Xia Houjue. “Brother Xia, you are really worldly-wise. I wonder, how many of such trash do you have?”

Xiao Chen’s purposeful emphasis on the word “trash” caused Xia Houjue’s expression to turn even darker, but Xia Houjue could not find any words to rebut.

“Don’t be too pleased yet. I will stand here and watch. See if anyone else from the Tianwu Domain will come to offer you congratulations and gifts.”

Xia Houjue was about to expire from frustration. After quite a while, he finally managed to squeeze out these words. He really could not think of any other retort.
