Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

Chapter 1855 The Coronation

1855 The Coronation

Long Huan’s coronation was broadcast as well, shown to the world 3 days after the Azure Dragon’s funeral as he took the crown on his head and became the Emperor of the Eastern Continent.

The world celebrated along with him, fiery creations of dragons flying around the sky. People danced and feasts were given out in many locations.

Long Huan stood tall and proud as the Emperor.

As the Emperor, Long Huan immediately made 2 new decrees.

Firstly, he made Long Hanjue the Crown Prince and heir to the Empire and gave him the Ebony Sword as proof of it.

That caused people to be very surprised as Crown Princes were usually those who were direct descendants of the Emperor. It was very, very rare that the Emperor’s brother was the next in line for the throne.

It almost suggested that Emperor knew he could not have any children and that was why he had done that. Those rumors were certainly going to start without a doubt.

Secondly, he revoked all requirements his father had placed on the Kings and Queens of the other kingdoms.

Most people were not aware of what these requirements even were, but those who knew were not surprised by it.

The requirement in the first place was placed so that Kings and Queens would not have any family to pass down their throne to, and thus be reluctant to create any sort of coup.

Of course, now that it was revealed to everyone that even the coup from the past was a sham created by the Dragon Emperor to get rid of the existing 5 kings, it was certain that the requirement would be gotten rid of.

Once the two decrees were made, Long Huan stood tall once more, promising the people that he would be a fair and wise Emperor.

“It would’ve been so much better had you been there,” Helen said to Hannah, who sat with the entire family in the VIP section of the audience.

“I wanted to, but because Mother insists that we are not officially married yet, I cannot yet appear as the Empress,” Hannah said. “We will have to have a marriage ceremony.”

Liz sighed to the side. “I have one daughter. I’m not going to miss out on her marriage. Aren’t you happy at least that I am allowing you to marry him?”

“Allowing?” Hannah asked. “There was a chance you weren’t going to allow him?”

“Of course,” Liz said. “He’s so old.”

Hannah laughed a little, causing Liz to laugh a little as well.

“I still can’t believe that you are going to be an Empress now. At first, when that prophecy told me I would have something to do with the crown in the future, I thought it was fulfilled when Alex became a king. But now, it might be because you are going to be an Empress.”

Alex felt his heart skip a beat when he heard that. ‘Right, Aunt Liz did tell me something about her future having a crown,’ he thought.

“How many of your prophecies have come true, Aunt Liz?” Alex asked.

“Mine? Hmm… I don’t know,” she said. “Truth is, I don’t remember most of what I heard from those wells. I had yet to enter the Saint Realm when I first went to the wells, so most of my memory from that time is gone.”

“Also, the last 3 wells simply didn’t work on me, so I have nothing to take from there at all,” Liz said. “It was weird, but I assumed it had something to do with my body. Since they are both time-related, you know.”

Alex nodded softly.

“What are you talking about?” Helen asked.

“The Nine Wells of Time. It’s a well in the Northern continent that can tell you your future. If you go to it—”

“No one will go to it,” Alex said, quickly shaking his head for the others. “It’s a place that tells you the future, but not all future are good. Sometimes, it tells you a bad one, and you don’t want that sort of mental burden.”

“Surely it’s not that bad,” Liz said. “So many people from the continent use it. They don’t show any problem at all.”

“They…” Alex frowned. That was correct. There were hundreds of people that visited the well every day, so there should be chaos in the Northern Continent either about how amazing the wells were, or how horrible they made life.

And yet, he never heard a single person back there talk about it. He had lived in that continent for 5 years before he even decided to check it.

‘That’s weird,’ Alex thought. Why was there nothing from them? Why were the people not constantly doing things based on their prophecies?

Something was wrong.

“So, should we go get our prophecies or not?” Helen asked. “Is it still bad?”

“I don’t know,” Alex said. “I might have to go to the Northern Continent some point in the future and check if I find anything.”

The coronation ended but the celebration did not. People celebrated for 3 days non-stop, with parties happening all around the continent.

A new emperor had risen, so it took a while for everything to go back to being calm again. At the end of the 3 days, it was time for Alex and the rest to return.

“Come right away when you want to, or send someone to get me,” Liz said to Hannah. “I will come right away.”

“I will, mom. You don’t have to worry. I’m an adult now,” Hannah said.

“You’ll never be adult enough for me,” Liz said. “Alright, prepare for your wedding however you want to and then call me. I will come immediately.”

“It might take some time, but we’ll be sure to let you know well in advance,” Long Huan said.

“It feels wrong to leave you here, but taking you away feels even more wrong. Take care of yourself, Hannah. And don’t push yourself to become an Immortal. You have plenty of time,” Helen said.

“I won’t, Aunt Helen,” Hannah said.

“We’ll see you next during your wedding then,” Graham said. “Take care of yourselves.”

“I’ll come visit you often, Aunt Hannah,” Ronron said. “I promise you won’t be very lonely.”

“I will wait for you all,” Hannah said with a big smile.

Alex walked next to Hannah and Long Huan and brought out a few pills for them. “There are some healing pills, some antidotes, and some cultivation pills. Most of these should be used by Brother Huan, but you should use these Dao pills sister.”

Hannah took the pills. “Is this what you were talking about?” she asked.

“Yes, I will have to make more, but these are the ones I have for now,” Alex said. “Don’t take them whenever you want. Take them when you feel like you are close to learning a Dao but can’t quite get it. This puts you in a state of mind where it is easier to look into the mysteries of the Dao.”

“Thank you, Alex,” Hannah said. “I will make the most out of this.”

Alex nodded. “See you both later then,” he said and walked toward the ship. After a final wave and goodbye, the group flew south to return to the Southern Continent.
