Lin Fei's ambition left the three people below speechless.
Yuan Daotong felt that the golden dragon aura above Lin Fei's head was so dazzling that it hurt his eyes. He took a deep breath and dared not use the secret techniques of divination to observe Lin Fei's dragon aura anymore.
Yuan Daotong was the first to stand up, bowed and said, "Since Your Highness has such ambition, I am also willing to follow Your Highness to achieve an unprecedented and unparalleled legacy."
The most important aspect of divination is understanding and accepting fate, seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Yuan Daotong had never seen anyone with such luck as Lin Fei; he was truly a chosen one. He recalled his father's dying words, that perhaps the turning point the Yuan family had hoped for for generations would fall upon him. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pledged his loyalty.
After Yuan Daotong, Chancellor Wang You and Grand Eunuch Wang stood up and said in unison, "Your Highness, we are also willing to serve you and help you build an unparalleled imperial legacy!"
……
The new emperor's ascension ceremony was held simultaneously with Lin Fei's breakthrough to the Dharma Aspect stage, and its influence was absolutely profound.
When Liu Buhui ascended to the heavens and broke through to the Dharma Aspect stage, he still invited all the young masters in the world. As the new ruler of the Southern Tang Kingdom, Lin Fei naturally could not be weak in terms of prestige.
Not only righteous sects, but also the eight heretical sects—Lin Fei invited them all. He wanted to achieve the Dharma Aspect Realm in front of everyone in the world, to show the world that the Southern Tang Dynasty would flourish even more under his leadership.
……
Inside the Jade Emperor Sect, at the Lingxiao Temple.
Master Yongcheng, seated at the head of the sect, addressed the assembled abbots and elders below: "What are your thoughts on this invitation from the Southern Tang Kingdom?"
Master Yuanzhen of Xingzhi Temple snorted coldly and said, "He's just a disgraced disciple of the sect. Why should the sect leader bother with him? If we send someone, wouldn't we be slapping the face of our Jade Emperor Sect in front of so many fellow cultivators in the world?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the abbot of Zhenwu Temple said indifferently, "Our Jade Emperor Sect is, after all, within the territory of Southern Tang. Although they can't interfere with us, it wouldn't be right for us to accept the invitation and then ignore it, would it?"
The other abbots also nodded in agreement, indicating that the majority agreed to send someone.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Master Yongcheng said, "I never imagined that this kid would transform into the King of Southern Tang in such a short time. His master's teachings were certainly worthwhile, and Yuanyi and Yuanwu risked their lives to protect him as they descended the mountain. Here's what I'll do: I'll send someone into the Demon-Subduing Pagoda to inform Yuanyi and Yuanwu of this news. As for who to send..."
After pondering for a moment, Master Yongcheng slowly said, "He is, after all, a disgraced disciple of the Jade Emperor Sect. It would be inappropriate for the abbot and elders to go. Mingtong, that kid, does have some connection with him, so let him go down the mountain!"
……
Inside the Mahavira Hall of Leiyin Huasheng Temple.
The abbot, the monk who saves the soul, put down the invitation in his hand and sighed deeply, saying, "The one who stole our Buddhist divine skill now holds power over a country. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find the Vajra Indestructible Technique again."
Xuan Ye, the head monk of the Prajna Hall below, said, "Back then, when I went to the Jade Emperor Sect, I misjudged the situation and failed to retrieve the divine skill. This time, I am willing to go to the Jade Emperor Sect in person and will definitely bring the divine skill back to our temple."
“Amitabha, he is just a junior at the Acupoint Realm. If the heads of the various academies personally intervene, wouldn’t it make the heroes of the world laugh at our Leiyin Temple for bullying the weak?” Xuan Kong, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, chanted a Buddhist prayer. “Moreover, he is the new emperor of Southern Tang. If we use our power to suppress others, I’m afraid the three great families of Southern Tang will hold a grudge against our Leiyin Temple in the future. This is not a good thing for our temple.”
As everyone was discussing this, a sleepy-eyed, disheveled monk suddenly walked in: "You are all abbots of your respective monasteries, yet you're nagging and arguing over a mere junior, unable to make up your minds for so long. You're disgracing the Buddha! Why go through all this trouble? I'll go there myself. If he doesn't return the divine power, I'll drag him to the temple to clean the latrines!"
Those present were at least the head monks of various monasteries of Leiyin Temple. This monk spoke arrogantly, yet no one reprimanded him, suggesting that he was of extraordinary status.
“Xuanli, this is a pure Buddhist temple. Do not utter such foul language!” The monk Du Nan snorted lightly, then said, “Since you are willing to make the trip yourself, that is the best thing. Remember, be courteous first, then resort to force. If he is willing to return the divine power to this temple, do not make things difficult for him.”
……
Inside the Northern Han imperial palace, Xiang Boyue had just received the news and walked out of the palace laughing heartily. For him, it was naturally the best thing that his brother could succeed to the throne.
As the representative of the Xiang family, one of the twelve great families of the Northern Han Dynasty, he will also travel to the Southern Tang Dynasty to participate in Lin Fei's enthronement ceremony.
Meanwhile, a young palace maid quickly ran to a side hall in the palace.
This side hall was not someone else's residence; it was the very residence of Princess Pingyang, who almost made Lin Fei her husband.
"Princess, Princess, good news!" The palace maid clearly had a close relationship with Princess Pingyang, and she called out as soon as she arrived outside the palace.
Princess Pingyang was inside the palace. Since Lin Fei left, she had almost never smiled.
"What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?" Princess Pingyang asked, frowning.
"I just heard the news that the Prince Consort is going to succeed as the King of Southern Tang!" the palace maid breathlessly replied. "His Majesty just summoned the people of the twelve noble families and asked them to send representatives to Southern Tang together!"
"What?!" Upon hearing this news, Princess Pingyang immediately stood up, her eyes unusually bright: "He's going to succeed as the ruler of Southern Tang? Is this news absolutely true?"
"Yes, Princess. Before I came, I ran into General Xiang. He was in a great mood and we chatted for a bit." The maid hurriedly said, "Princess, should we go to His Majesty and ask him to allow you to go to Southern Tang as well? Ever since the Prince Consort left, you have been frowning all the time. I have seen it and I am very worried."
"No, I won't go to Father Emperor!" Princess Pingyang's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and then she revealed a long-lost smile: "I'll go to Xiang Boyue. Isn't he that guy's sworn brother? If he doesn't take me with him, I'll pester him relentlessly!"
……
The news of Lin Fei's succession to the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty was spread to all major forces in the world, from the four sects of Taoism and the three temples of Buddhism to the eight heretical sects.
The news of the new emperor's ascension to the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty spread like wildfire. Even before the formal enthronement ceremony began, it had already become the most talked-about event in the land.
