Chapter 762: Homage from the Masses, Clouds of Beauties
In the Profound Heaven Demon Gate, the Demon Lord laughed excitedly: "The Coalition Army of the Three Realms has been defeated!"
"The strength of the Great Emperor Lun Hui has already surpassed everyone's imagination!"
In the Grand Void Sacred Ground, the Sacred Lord was filled with relief: "It is fortunate that we chose to cooperate."
"Otherwise, our fate now would be the same as the Three Realms."
Those small and medium-sized factions that were still watching from the sidelines are now frantically expressing their loyalty to the Lun Hui Palace.
They are terrified of being held a grudge against by the Great Emperor Lun Hui, for if that happened, they would truly be doomed.
Inside the Lun Hui Palace, Sima Xue and the others watched Lin Xuan return in triumph, their eyes filled with adoration.
"The Palace Master is mighty!" they cheered in unison.
"The Coalition Army of the Three Realms was no match for the Palace Master!"
Lin Xuan smiled indifferently and put away the Myriad Phenomenon Lun Hui Dharma Ring.
"This is only the beginning."
"Next, we shall rebuild the order of Lun Hui and unify all the heavens and myriad worlds!"
The news of the Coalition Army of the Three Realms' crushing defeat swept through the entire cultivation world like a storm.
This shocking outcome forced all factions to re-evaluate the situation.
The Great Emperor Lun Hui defeated the Coalition Army of the Three Realms single-handedly; such power has exceeded the cognitive limits of everyone.
Those factions that were originally fence-sitters instantly shifted their stance.
The neutral parties that were previously watching from the sidelines are now desperate to express their loyalty immediately.
Those factions that once secretly supported the Three Realms Alliance are even more panic-stricken.
In just three short days, hundreds of large and small factions dispatched envoys to the Ten Thousand Demon Island to pay homage.
The sea area outside the Ten Thousand Demon Island was packed solid with various flying Dharma Artifacts.
Spirit boats, flying swords, Escape Lights, and teleportation arrays—every type of transportation method was present.
These envoys brought large quantities of treasures, waiting in long lines for an audience with the Great Emperor Lun Hui.
Among them were not a few factions that had once betrayed the Lun Hui Palace.
They came trembling with large amounts of treasure to plead for mercy, fearing they would be purged by the Great Emperor Lun Hui.
Xue Wuchen, the Sect Master of the Blood Shadow Sect, knelt at the very front of the line.
When the Lun Hui Palace was first established, he had secretly colluded with the Immortal Realm, hoping to get a share of the spoils.
Now that the Coalition Army of the Three Realms had been defeated, he knew his end had come.
"Great Emperor Lun Hui, spare my life!" Xue Wuchen wept bitterly.
"This subordinate was momentarily blinded by greed, but now I know my mistake!"
He brought the Blood Shadow Sect's sect-protecting treasure, the Blood Demon Bead, hoping to atone for his crimes.
Similar scenes could be seen everywhere in the line.
Those representatives of factions that once harbored ulterior motives were now all wearing expressions of extreme fear and trepidation.
Lin Xuan sat within the main hall of Lun Hui, watching the dense crowd of envoys kneeling in the square before the hall.
This scene of homage from the masses stirred an unprecedented sense of achievement in his heart.
The pinnacle of power is exactly this: a single word can decide life or death, and a single rage can shake the world.
This is precisely the ultimate experience that every man dreams of.
"Palace Master, there are simply too many envoys outside," Sima Xue said as she entered the main hall to report.
"At the current pace, it will take at least half a month to receive everyone."
Lin Xuan nodded: "No rush, let them wait."
"The process of waiting itself is a form of deterrence."
"The longer we make them wait, the more it reflects the status of the Lun Hui Palace."
Among the many who came to pay homage, the most eye-catching were several stunning beauties.
First was the Queen of the Star Sea, Lan Xinyue, from the Starry Sea.
She ruled over the three thousand islands of the Starry Sea, and her own strength had reached the late stage of Great Vehicle.
More importantly, she possessed the legendary Starry Sacred Body and could manipulate the power of the stars.
Lan Xinyue wore a starlight gown, her beauty as radiant as the brightest star in the night sky.
Her skin was as white as moonlight, her eyes as deep as the starry sky, and every gesture she made carried a noble air.
When she stepped into the main hall of Lun Hui, the entire hall seemed to be lit up by starlight.
"Lan Xinyue of the Starry Sea, pays respects to the Great Emperor Lun Hui."
She bowed elegantly, her voice as melodious as heavenly music.
"Xinyue is willing to offer the entire Starry Sea to the Lun Hui Palace, and I am also willing to serve the Great Emperor Lun Hui."
This blunt declaration left everyone in the hall shocked.
The Starry Sea was an important faction in the cultivation world, possessing countless rare resources.
Lan Xinyue was actually willing to offer all of this to the Lun Hui Palace.
Next was the Ice and Snow Goddess, Bai Yuyao, from the Northern Wilderness Snow Plains.
She controlled the power of the polar ice and snow, and her constitution was as pure as ten-thousand-year black ice.
Her white robe was as white as snowflakes, and her temperament was cold, elegant, and noble.
Her appearance caused the temperature in the main hall to drop by several degrees.
"Bai Yuyao of the Northern Wilderness Snow Plains, has met the Great Emperor Lun Hui."
Her voice was as cold as ice, but the sincerity contained within it was beyond doubt.
"Yu Yao is willing to offer all the ice and snow resources of the Northern Wasteland Snow Plains to the Lun Hui Palace."
"I am even more willing to offer myself to the Great Emperor Lun Hui, to follow by your side forever."
There was also Huo Wushuang, daughter of the Flame Emperor from the Southern Border Fire Domain.
She inherited the Flame Emperor's bloodline and mastered the Red Lotus Karma Fire, which ranks in the top ten of the Exotic Fire Rankings.
Her fire-red long robe was as dazzling as a raging flame, and her temperament was as passionate as fire.
This beauty, whose personality was as scorching as a flame, actually lowered her status as well.
"Huo Wushuang of the Fire Domain pays respects to the Great Emperor Lun Hui!"
Her voice was full of vitality, and a scorching light burned in her eyes.
"Wushuang is willing to offer all the resources of the Fire Domain, including the exotic fires of the seventy-two volcanoes."
"I am even more willing to use this Red Lotus Karma Fire to forge divine weapons for the Great Emperor Lun Hui!"
The most unexpected thing was that the Great Compassion Temple of the Western Buddha Sect also sent an envoy.
Nun Huixin, this holy maiden of the Buddha Sect, although she had taken monastic vows, possessed a solemn and precious appearance.
She wore a plain-colored monk's robe, and her temperament was transcendent and refined, as holy as a lotus flower.
"Huixin of the Great Compassion Temple greets the Great Emperor Lun Hui."
She pressed her palms together, her expression respectful.
"The Buddha Sect is willing to form an alliance with the Lun Hui Palace to jointly maintain peace under heaven."
"Huixin is willing to remain in the Lun Hui Palace to explain the true meaning of the Buddha Dharma to the Great Emperor."
Even the Buddha Sect took the initiative to show goodwill, which made everyone present realize the change in the status of the Lun Hui Palace.
These stunning beauties from all sides made the drama of vying for favor within the Lun Hui Palace increasingly intense.
Sima Xue and the other original confidantes clearly felt the pressure.
Originally, they thought that by relying on the romantic ties of their past lives, their status was already secure.
They did not expect that so many powerful competitors would arrive now.
Ao Bizhu looked at the few newly arrived beauties, a look of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
Especially that Lan Xinyue, whose Star Saint Body talent was in no way inferior to her own Dragon Clan bloodline.
Feng Wu Jiutian also felt the threat.
Huo Wushuang's Red Lotus Karma Fire and her own Nirvana Fire both belonged to the top tier of flames.
In terms of alchemy, a direct competition might arise.
Although Qilin Er was the youngest, she also sensitively sensed the change.
These newly arrived women were not to be trifled with, and she had to raise her vigilance.
Facing this subtle situation, Lin Xuan displayed the balancing tactics of an emperor.
He did not treat these newly arrived beauties coldly, but he did not neglect his original confidantes either.
Instead, he cleverly arranged different responsibilities for everyone.
"Lan Xinyue, you are responsible for managing the resource supply of the Star Sea Domain."
"The power of the stars is very helpful for cultivation; I hope you can plan it reasonably."
Lan Xinyue accepted gladly: "Xinyue will certainly give it her all!"
