Chen Qing stopped right before the city gate, for he needed to wait until the ceremony ahead was concluded.
Listening to the unfamiliar music and drums from the front, Chen Qing frowned and asked, "What music is playing now?"
Su Yi smiled and said, "Now it’s the part of the Song of Praise."
"Enthronement is a grand event, we need to offer sacrifices to the Miao God and invite its gaze."
"First is the Divine Music to invite the Miao God’s attention, then the Creation Music to celebrate the founding of Nanli by the Miao God, the Song of Praise, and then the Nine Profound Heavenly Girl Music in praise of the Nine Profound True Monarch."
"In praise of the Evil Crossing True Monarch is the True Essence Universal Joy, in praise of the Haoran True Monarch is the Haoran Song of Righteous Qi, and in praise of the Demon Suppressing True Monarch is the Dutian Soul Suppressing Song."
"Furthermore, there is the Jiuli Song, Breaking Formation Song..."
Su Yi rattled off thirteen song titles before stopping.
"There are also the Eternal Northern Lights Song, the Soul Burning Song, the All Gods Dusk Song of the Jiguang Sect..."
"From the Sword Travel Palace, the Qinglian Sword Song, Eight Desolate Sword Scripture, Reincarnation Song, Three Thousand Void Sounds, and Spring Wind Peach Blossom..."
"From Buddhism, the Diamond Sutra, Bodhi Scripture, Immaculate Scripture, Dustless Force, Instant Enlightenment Scripture..."
"From the Demon Clan, the Group Demon Dance, Holy Blessing Ceremony..."
"Even the Dragon Palace specially requested to join in, playing the Dragon Rising from the Abyss..."
"These performances show that even though Lord Wen comes uninvited to their domains, he is afforded royal treatment and prestige."
"The Da Yan, the Heavenly Master Mansion, and the Immortal Court didn’t offer any music."
"Amidst these, there are also interludes for sacrifices to the Miao God, tributes to the Four True Monarchs, and the ceremonies for the Jiguang, offerings to the King Sword, and requesting the Infinite Buddha Light from the Buddha..."
"Finally, it is the tune played by Lord Wen in Wangbei City as the Divine Sound resonates as royal music. At that time, it is when His Majesty will ascend the royal platform to receive his enthronement."
Hearing this lengthy ceremony and sacrifice, Chen Qing felt his scalp tingle, "Then, at this pace, how long until I have to go on stage?"
Su Yi awkwardly smiled, "Three days later, I suppose."
Chen Qing pointed to the disciples of the Great Sect under the nine-layer royal platform, as well as the cultivators of Nanli, "They have to stay here for three days?"
Su Yi replied, "They also need to participate in some of the sacrifices..."
Chen Qing coughed, "Alright, it seems I thought it too simple."
Su Yi said, "My lord, enthronement is a grand affair, after being crowned, we need to change the way we address you. Moreover, after the coronation, you can hear the sacrifices at the Prince Wen Temple in Nanli."
"Remember, my lord, when you ascend the royal platform, refer to yourself as ’lonely.’"
Chen Qing nodded, "Hmm, got it."
He truly did not expect that claiming the throne would be such a hassle.
Fortunately, nothing should go wrong today.
If he indeed saw blood on his coronation ceremony, he would undoubtedly annihilate the entire clan of the one causing trouble!
Listening to the endless music ahead and continuous sacrifices, Chen Qing waited quietly for three days.
On this day at noon, he finally heard the familiar Fuxi Divine Sky Sound.
Although renamed, which he disliked, he could not act rashly at his coronation ceremony.
In the magnificent music, Chen Qing arrived before the royal platform, walking up the long Steps of Coronation formed by the Dragon Cavalry.
With each pair of Dragon Cavalry he passed, they swung their long spears, crossing them behind Chen Qing with a thunderous clash, shouting, "Our King, live for a thousand autumns!"
Passing a hundred Dragon Cavalry, Chen Qing finally arrived at the nine-layer royal platform, stepping onto the stairs made of gold, and turning back, his presence was caught in the eyes of many.
The people from Nanli, Sword Travel Palace, Demon Clan, and Dragon Palace only showed excitement and admiration.
The other cultivators, amidst the solemn sacrifices, were also reverent.
He saw the joy in Yu Qingshuang’s eyes, silent blessings from Zi Tao and Lv Kuang, Ji Ru’s eager anticipation.
The exhilaration in Hu Yao’s eyes, a rare smile from Xu Yaofeng, who never smiled in public.
Every general led by Xuan Mang appeared joyful.
In the gaze of everyone, Chen Qing turned back to look at Wu Zhao, standing at the top of the royal platform.
Wu Zhao declared, "The Royal Decree is of great importance, the Miao God decreed, Chen Qing need not kneel!"
Chen Qing strode up the platform, and during his ascent to the nine-layer royal platform, Wu Zhao brought out the divine edict refined by King Wu’s penmanship, and began to recite:
"Here lies Chen Qing of Nanli, titled Taiyi in Jiguang...
Born with literary talent, gifted with eloquence, divinely endowed with intelligence, possessing a virtuous and benevolent nature, always holding grand ambitions...
By Xuan Bird’s promise, traversing ten thousand miles alone, unwavering in loyalty, a promise worth a thousand gold..."
"Later, when the tyrant Yan Shiyin wreaked havoc across the Three Kingdoms, Qing rose from insignificance, revered the Miao God, preached Taiping, wielded the Dragon Sparrow to lead the martial campaign, fighting nine battles in the field to quell the chaos...
Bearing Cultural Fortune, authored one hundred and twenty-eight volumes of Gu Book, disseminated it to the world, and initiated the wondrous path of cultivation, making great contributions..."
"Subsequently, when the Da Yan Jing King with the Demon Clan’s Phoenix King, Dragon Palace Prince, Wind King wrought havoc on the Death Realm, intending to sever the connection between the Death Realm and the mortal world, seeking dominion over the Death Realm..."
"With divine oracle, Qing annihilated the Phoenix King at the Death Sea, vanquished Jing King at the far north, executed the Wind King, eradicated the Prince, pacified the Death Realm, opened Taiping, restarted the path of cultivation for humanity, making great contributions..."
"The cultural inheritance and martial virtues of Qing brought great merit to the world, the Miao God issued divine oracle, commending his achievements and bestowing kingship..."
"Country named Wen, enduring for three thousand six hundred years..."
"Instruct the Nine Kingdoms to construct the Prince Wen Palace, station nine palaces, manage the Nanli Academy..."
"Preside over all Mystic Gate Realm and below cultivators in Nanli...
"Ruling the Death Realm, establishing millennia of merit for the world, smoothing the path of cultivation..."
"Establish the Prince Wen Temple, enjoy incense offerings, listen to the world sound, everlasting..."
Chen Qing looked up, for the Death Realm never knew daylight, only gloom.
But at this enthronement ceremony, the Jiguang Sect followers displayed the Light Butterfly, granting the Death Realm three days of light!
