In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

Ha ha.

Do these people dare not come?

Those who made excuses not to come are probably already preparing to be reincarnated, right?

......

At this moment, the Emperor of Dongyang, standing below the stage, pointed at Princess Dongyang on the stage, his face filled with pride!

"See that? That's my daughter!"

The Emperor of Dongyang spoke with an air of pride!

With a daughter like this, what more could one ask for!

He gave his daughter to Lu Yuan before, which was definitely the best decision he ever made in his life!

Otherwise, if it were sent over at this time...

Given Lu Yuan's current status, he would absolutely look down on them!

There are so many beautiful women.

Why would they choose to come from a small power like your Dongyang Empire?

At this moment, the Emperor of Dongyang turned to look at Jiang Shicheng beside him with a face full of excitement, and said excitedly:

"Brother Jiang, aren't you happy? Hehe, I'm almost dying of joy!"

"I never imagined that we could actually establish a connection with the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Shicheng's face was full of complicated emotions!

He never expected that a mere heir of the Prince of Zhenbei could rise to such a high position!

"Alas, life is unpredictable! But luckily, he took a liking to Qian Ning back then!"

At this moment, Jiang Shicheng felt a sense of relief!

Thinking back to how strongly he opposed it at the time, he felt a little scared!

But luckily!

He was spineless and succumbed to Lu Yuan's "coercion" at the time!

This could be considered a blessing in disguise!

As for Yao Xi'er's father, Yao Qianming...

Sigh, I wonder where he is, struggling to refine elixirs!

no way!

It was Yao Qianming's fault for being so tactless back then!

Lu Yuan sparing his life is already a great kindness!

......

And at this time.

The surrounding elders were astonished to hear that the Eastern Yang Emperor and Jiang Shicheng had this connection with Lu Yuan.

Immediately, they all swarmed around him with fawning expressions!

"Hehe, my friend, it's truly a blessing for your daughter to become a concubine of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

"By the way, my daughter is also exceptionally talented and beautiful, and very sensible!"

"Could you perhaps ask your daughter to introduce you to someone...?"

The compliments from these bigwigs were very pleasing to the two of them!

but.

They all knew that the harem was not a place they could interfere in!

Therefore, they flatly refused all of these people's requests!

"Heh! Sorry! We can't help you with that!"

"Hehe, don't be in such a hurry! I have some good stuff here..."

At this moment, the ancestors smiled mysteriously.

He took out a bunch of treasures from his spatial ring and stuffed them into the hands of the two of them!

Upon seeing the treasure handed over, the two of them widened their eyes with shining eyes!

I go!

These old folks are really willing to spend a fortune!

They even used their most prized possessions, which were beyond their reach, to bribe them!

The two of them couldn't contain themselves any longer and quietly put the things away!

"Ahem... I'll take the gifts for now, and I'll ask around for you later!"

"As for whether it will work out, we can't guarantee that!"

cough cough.

They accepted the gifts.

But whether they asked about it at the time, who knows?

"No problem! No problem! As long as you can ask around for us!"

Meanwhile, the group was talking.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao He also took on the role of the master of ceremonies and began to speak on stage.

In fact, this ceremony, though called the Ascension Ceremony, was also a formal declaration of the sovereignty of the Great Han Empire to the Nine Continents!

From this day forward!

There are no more holy lands or sects on the Nine Provinces Continent!

The only thing that exists, and the only thing that exists, is the Great Han Empire!

Under heaven, all land belongs to the Han!

Throughout the land, there is no one who is not a subject of the Han!

In this regard.

Those originally transcendent emperors could only helplessly smile bitterly!

However, they had already undergone modifications and received preventative measures beforehand!

therefore!

Even when that moment truly arrived, they weren't greatly affected!

I accepted it all with equanimity!

after all.

Submitting to such a powerful empire is not a disgrace.

in contrast.

This is still a great honor for them!

.......

at this time.

After Xiao He's impassioned speech, coupled with a carrot-and-stick approach,

Finally, we've arrived at the most crucial part of the entire ceremony!

That is ascension!

At this moment, everyone perked up!

"It's finally about to begin..."

Everyone was filled with excitement as they watched Lu Yuan rise from his dragon mount!

To know.

For thousands of years, no one in the entire Nine Continents has been able to ascend to the Upper Realm!

Of course, even if they existed, none of them had ever seen them!

And now.

They were able to witness the legendary ascension, something truly eye-opening.

How could everyone not be excited?

in fact.

A large part of the reason they came here was to witness this ascension!

This is for some of the great emperor cultivators nowadays.

However, it has great reference value!

When it's their turn to ascend, they'll be prepared!

"I heard that this time it's not just the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who will ascend to heaven! But his subordinates and concubines will also ascend to the Upper Realm together!"

"So many people ascending together—even ten thousand years ago, that would have been a rare sight!"

One of the elderly men couldn't help but sigh.

Although the old man was a Great Emperor, he exuded a faint aura of death.

It looks like a living fossil that has lived for countless years!

"Yes! Other families only have one person ascend to immortality, which is something only top-tier forces can achieve!"

"But when they arrived at the Great Han, more than a dozen of them ascended to immortality in one go!"

"This big man... he's really a monster!"

Another formidable figure couldn't help but marvel.
