28 Differences Like Night and Day (1/2)

Chapter 1540: Differences Like Night and Day

Yi Yun and Zhu Ningxie's conflict attracted the attention of many. Yi Yun was just too famous. Ignoring the fact that he had declared himself to be the husband of the new empress who was out of his league, he was now trampling on several Sinkhole powerhouses. It was as though he was punching Sacred Horizon Divine Lord and kicking Eclipse Arhat.

”So West River Divine Lord will be coming to the coronation as well. I happen to have things to settle with him. It looks like I'll be settling them today,” said Yi Yun leisurely as he shot a glance at Zhu Ningxie.

Yi Yun's words left Zhu Ningxie completely dumbfounded.

Zhu Ningxie turned agape as he looked at Yi Yun like he was a mad man. He was going to settle a score with his master, West River Divine Lord? This fellow must be nuts!

Zhu Ningxie was originally mocking Yi Yun, but now, he couldn't even be bothered. With him reaching such a level of bragging, people were now looking at Yi Yun with pity.

”Yi Yun, let's leave!”

Fairy Yourou quickly pulled Yi Yun away. She felt her face burn when she saw the number of people gathering around them increase. Even Fairy Yourou's few maidservants yearned to kneel down to ask Yi Yun to stop bragging. It made their Nethersky Divine World appear to be as much an oddity as Yi Yun.

”Miss, Young Master Yi is probably already mentally unstable. Let's leave first.” A maidservant sent Fairy Yourou a voice transmission. Fairy Yourou was also very embarrassed. What was up with Yi Yun today?

At that moment, a series of otherworldly music began to play. Everyone was taken aback as they looked in the direction of the music. They saw a divine ship appear in the sea. It couldn't be considered too big, but its body was filled with a lustrous glow. It appeared to slowly cruise over from an ancient void.

”It's the White Lunar Divine Empire's spirit ship!”

Everyone watched as the spirit ship lifted off from the surface of the sea and flew into the air before entering the White Jade Phoenix Palace and vanishing.

Following that, the numinous light that the White Jade Phoenix Palace emitted increased in intensity. People could feel themselves being bathed in the numinous light even dozens of kilometers away, making them feel refreshed in both body and mind.

”It's the new empress! The new empress has probably entered the White Jade Phoenix Palace while on that ship!”

With the new empress's arrival, it also signaled the unfolding of the coronation's curtains!

At that moment, all the warriors began to offer their well wishes.

The White Lunar Divine Empire's new empress's coronation naturally required them to send gifts. These gifts were also considered diplomatic gifts. Every major faction prepared their gift with painstakingly detail. It would be embarrassing if the items they gave were too shabby.

”Yi Yun, didn't you say that the new empress of the White Lunar Divine Empire is your Dao partner? You must have prepared some impressive gifts, right? How about it? Do you plan to give Her Majesty the Netherworld tree's fruit or the nebulous Primordial Chaos essence?”

Mu Yun suddenly jested when the handing over of gifts began.

What he said instantly attracted the attention of many people. Yi Yun had been bragging previously, with a skin as thick as a city wall's. No matter how they mocked him, Yi Yun appeared impenetrably thickheaded. It made them feel like rushing forward to beat him up; but now, they finally had a chance to see him make a fool of himself.

”That's right, since it's your Dao partner's coronation, you must have prepared some important gifts. I wonder what you brought?”

Zhu Ningxie looked at Yi Yun with a teasing look. The Netherworld tree's fruit or the nebulous Primordial Chaos essence were Yi Yun's cornerstone treasures. He refused to believe that Yi Yun would be willing to hand either of them over.

”What I gift for my wife's coronation depends on my sincerity. It has nothing to do with you,” scoffed Yi Yun. He couldn't be bothered to deal with them.

”Even at this stage, when your face has been riddled like a bee's honeycomb, you insist on your facade. How pitiful.”

As Mu Yun spoke, he handed over his congratulatory gift.

”First Beginnings Immortal Gate's congratulatory gift: One block of Blood-Patterned Black Jade! One piece of Soul Nurturing Wood!”

The master of ceremonies in charge of announcing the gifts was an elder dressed in azure-colored clothes. Although he was only a master of ceremonies, he enjoyed a very high standing. He was the White Lunar Divine Empire's best appraiser. Although his cultivation level was at the half-step Divine Lord realm, he had unparalleled eye when it came to appraising items. There were few rare treasures in the world that he hadn't seen.

Upon hearing the azure-clothed elder's words, everyone was secretly amazed. The gifts Mu Yun had given were at least worth a hundred Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli.

However, although these treasures were valuable, they were items that could be bought on the market. This was in line with the tradition of gifts given by major factions. It looked decent, but it was also not a core cultivation resource, making it most suitable. After all, no faction would wish to provide invaluable resources for other factions to nurture their members with.

”Amitabha. My Mahayana Monastery has always been poor. This Penniless Monk will gift a Nine Treasured Lotus on behalf of his master.”

Konglun also handed over his gift. Although he claimed to be poor, the Nine Treasure Lotus was similarly worth about a hundred Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli.

Following that, it was Zhu Ningxie. He gifted a sword forged from an ancient divine metal. It's worth was similar to the gifts of the other two major factions. Clearly, the three factions had agreed on this in private.

”It's your turn.”

Zhu Ningxie gave Yi Yun a glance as the corners of his mouth curled up. He refused to believe that Yi Yun would produce the Netherworld tree's fruit.

”Yi Yun, did you not prepare some rare item? I forgot to remind you that the coronation requires congratulatory gifts. I have some treasured items here which are worth a hundred or two hundred Godly Monarch Immortal Annuli. Why don't you…” Fairy Yourou sent Yi Yun a voice transmission.

”There's no need.”
