Chapter 2423 - 2113: Ji Yunmeng Ascends the Throne

As the Minister of Rites finished chanting the sacrificial rites, the sky instantly became overcast with a massive black vortex cloud.

The next moment, purple lightning surged within the cloud, as if a Thunder Dragon was roaring inside.

Witnessing this scene, the ministers turned pale with fright, thinking that this was the wrath of the heavens.

For Ji Yunmeng was the first Empress in the history of Dazhou, and there had never been a precedent for an Empress ascending to the throne before.

But even if they believed in their hearts that Ji Yunmeng had angered the heavens, the ministers present dared not speak, for above their heads was not only the skies but also the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng stood on the altar, silent.

She looked up at the sky. For some reason, she seemed to see an invisible gas flowing toward her body, slowly increasing her strength.

Ji Yunmeng couldn’t help but wonder if this was the Qi Fortune of Dazhou?

She had a premonition that if all the Qi Fortune of Dazhou converged onto her, she could soon break through to the Heavenly Realm.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunmeng felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.

Once she broke through to the Heavenly Realm, she would break free from the control of Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor and, from then on, Dazhou would be hers to command.

From now on, Lu Chen would never be able to treat her like before.

Amidst the ministers’ overwhelming fear, suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted from Ji Yunmeng’s body.

Feeling the horrifying pressure emanating from Ji Yunmeng, everyone present was stunned.

Heavenly Realm? Could this be the Heavenly Realm?

Oh my God! Ji Yunmeng actually became a Heavenly Realm Strong Person.

The next moment, a colorful spiritual evil emanated from behind Ji Yunmeng, filling the entire sky.

Ji Yunmeng’s body flew into the air, reaching the center of the black vortex.

Numerous lightning bolts struck Ji Yunmeng, yet she was unscathed, appearing as if she was undergoing Tribulation Crossing.

At this moment, the faces of spies from various forces turned extremely ugly.

The emergence of a Heavenly Realm in Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor already left them helpless.

Now, a new Heavenly Realm is born, and this Heavenly Realm is the new emperor of Dazhou.

If the Ancient Ruins were to open, what business would it be of these Outer Domain Forces?

Seeing Ji Yunmeng break through to the Heavenly Realm, Lu Chen thought to himself, could this be the reason he gained the Heavenly Realm Guardian once more?

One Qu He could indeed not handle Ji Yunmeng; though both were Heavenly Realm, Ji Yunmeng was, after all, an Ancestor of the Strange, and her spiritual evil far exceeded Qu He’s.

In a real fight, Qu He was likely no match for Ji Yunmeng.

However, if Peng Zhao was added, Ji Yunmeng would have little chance of winning.

What Ji Yunmeng will do next remains to be seen.

If Ji Yunmeng continues to listen to him, then he has no concerns.

If Ji Yunmeng seeks independence, then she must be properly disciplined.

As Ji Yunmeng’s aura grew stronger, she suddenly raised her hand towards the sky, and in the next moment, a spiritual evil burst from her hand, forming a multicolored beam of light, shooting straight to the center of the overcast clouds.

Boom...

When the spiritual evil hit the center of the clouds, the clouds were instantly shattered and quickly dispersed, the sky returned to clarity, the whole sky was serene and sunny, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Ji Yunmeng’s body slowly descended onto the altar, the ministers awoke as if from a dream, and knelt in unison.

"Long live Your Majesty!!!"

The voices of the ministers echoed between heaven and earth, while Ji Yunmeng’s face remained cold as she looked at Lu Chen standing in front of the ministers.

Seeing the look in Ji Yunmeng’s eyes, Lu Chen instantly understood that this woman truly believed in her own power.

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng’s mind recalled the events that happened during her time at Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor.

In order to reach this position, she had once abandoned her dignity to become Lu Chen’s plaything, subjected to all sorts of manipulation by him.

This was a great humiliation!

Fortunately, all of this was now in the past; from today onwards, Lu Chen would not be able to lord over her.

Of course, even though she had strong feelings about Lu Chen, it didn’t mean she intended to kill him.

Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor had another Heavenly Realm, and if she acted against Lu Chen, that Heavenly Realm would certainly risk everything against her, rendering her unstable as an emperor.

After coming to her senses, Ji Yunmeng said to all the ministers present, "Rise, my beloved ministers, I have ascended the throne, and the Qi Fortune of Dazhou has gathered upon me. From this moment on, I hope that you will serve the Imperial Court wholeheartedly and put aside unrealistic thoughts."

Saying this, Ji Yunmeng glanced at Lu Chen again, as if the words were meant for him.

Lu Chen let out a chuckle, deserving the name as the Ancestor of the Strange. As soon as she surpassed his strength, she immediately thought of turning against him.

No, he must hastily break through to the Heavenly Realm; otherwise, he would not be able to subdue Ji Yunmeng.

Even though they already had two Heavenly Realm Strong Persons, the strength of others ultimately belonged to others, and he wanted to suppress Ji Yunmeng on the bed, his strength must surpass hers.

After the enthronement ceremony ended, Ji Yunmeng officially took over all the affairs of Dazhou.

And Lu Chen returned to Pei Shuhua’s chamber, continuing his pairing with Pei Shuhua.

In the chamber, Lu Chen lay on the soft human bed, immersing himself in the tender feeling, as if the happenings outside had nothing to do with him.

Pei Shuhua felt it was a humiliation, but as time passed, she gradually accepted reality, thinking that even being humiliated was better than being dead.

At this moment, Pei Shuhua spoke up, "Our Empress has broken through to the Heavenly Realm. Dazhou has slipped from your control. Doesn’t Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor worry at all?"

Originally, Ji Yunmeng was a Puppet Emperor supported by Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor, but now Ji Yunmeng had risen to greatness.

Even if Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor had a Heavenly Realm Strong Person, they could no longer restrict Ji Yunmeng.

Dazhou was now completely under Ji Yunmeng’s control.

Even among the Heavenly Realm, there are disparities.

The Heavenly Realm Strong Person of Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor is far inferior to Ji Yunmeng.

It must be known that Ji Yunmeng was blessed with the Qi Fortune of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and she also had Dragon Qi.

The Heavenly Realm Strong Person of Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor is no match for Ji Yunmeng.

Under such circumstances, Lu Chen still dared to frequent the Imperial Palace, oppressing her, the Empress Dowager.

Although Ji Yunmeng gained everything with the support of Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor, throughout history, there have been countless instances of emperors killing their ministers.

Ministers like Lu Chen, who flaunted their favor, often met ill fates.

The most crucial point is that Lu Chen committed a grave taboo, indulging in debauchery within the harem, something no emperor could tolerate.

Even though Ji Yunmeng was an Empress, if this were to spread and she did nothing, what dignity would she, as an emperor, have?

Upon hearing Pei Shuhua’s words, Lu Chen quickly finished his business and then said with a faint smile, "Why worry? Could she really want to murder her husband?"

Seeing Lu Chen’s lack of concern, Pei Shuhua said, "Your Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor’s Heavenly Realm is no match for her. If you remain so reckless, you might not even know how you die."

To be honest, Pei Shuhua was truly afraid that Lu Chen would die so soon.

Although she detested Lu Chen, she had already been involved with him.

If Lu Chen died like that and she gained nothing, wouldn’t she suffer a great loss?

Most importantly, now that Ji Yunmeng became a Heavenly Realm Strong Person, she might seize ancient inheritances. Without other Heavenly Realm individuals to restrain Ji Yunmeng, those ancient inheritances would have nothing to do with these Outer Domain Forces.

At this time, the support of Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor was more crucial.

Lu Chen calmly said, "Prince Zhen Nan’s Manor’s heritage is even deeper than you imagine, so you need not worry."
