It was the day of the new emperor’s coronation ceremony, the Heavenly Fate Celebration, their National Day.
After the founding emperor of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, Lu Shang began the nation’s prosperity. He designated his birthday as the day of the Heavenly Fate Celebration and worship.
Later on, new emperors that came after would also choose this auspicious day for their coronation ceremony.
Lu Shang had also set a rule that every emperor would be in power for, at most, three thousand years before passing the throne to the next generation.
In addition, the emperor could pass the throne to the next generation at any time according to his wishes. He could retire and cultivate in peace, seeking the Dao and becoming an immortal.
‘Today was the day of the succession of Emperor Tianyun and the coronation of the new Emperor Hengyun.
‘The Heavenly Fate Emperor Tianyun admired Hengyun the most among all his descendants. Emperor Tianyun was in seclusion for many years. He had come to participate in the coronation today to personally crown this descendant of his.
‘The retiring Heavenly Fate Emperor was named Lu Tianyun. He was Lu Shang’s most beloved great-grandson, so Lu Shang gave the country’s name to this great-grandson.
Lu Tianyun did not disappoint. He became the most outstanding emperor of the Tianyun Dynasty and was now standing at the peak of the world, half-step into the Immortal class.
The celebration on this day was unprecedented because Emperor Tianyun had personally arrived to crown the new emperor.
Therefore, the various large sects, top families, and numerous hidden old monsters of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty, even the sovereigns of neighboring countries, had arrived to participate in this grand ceremony.
Some hoped to admire the elegant demeanor of Emperor Tianyun, while others hoped to bask in his Dao fate.
Of course, some people had come solely to support Emperor Tianyun. After all, he was fully deserving of his top-notch status. They had to give him face.
Emperor Tianyun was in high spirits today. Naturally, he was happy to see his country prosper and produce another peerless prodigy like Hengyun.
Of course, he was even happier that it wouldn’t be long before he could ascend into an immortal.
Once he took the Ancient God Body, he could easily break the shackles on his Essence Soul, the consequence of cultivating the Heaven-Seizing Fortune Sutra. He could directly break through to the Mahayana Realm and become an immortal.
When he entered the Immortal Domain, the power of the Ancient God bloodline could open up his immortal path.
Under the attention of everyone, the coronation ceremony officially began. Emperor Tianyun personally placed the royal crown on the new emperor’s head.
‘The moment was divine and solemn. Millions of people worshiped, and the bells rang in unison. Colorful and auspicious lights enveloped the world, and there were even images of green dragons swimming in the sky. This was a phenomenon created with magic artifacts, and it was sensational.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Emperor Tianyun and the new Emperor Hengyun. They could not take their eyes off them as they held their breaths and focused.
All of a sudden, thunder rumbled in the clear sky, instantly shattering this solemn and sacred moment.
At the same time, an enormous dark cloud as black as ink condensed about ten feet above Emperor Tianyun’s head. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled inside as lightning bolts fell one after another, striking the top of Emperor Tianyun’s head.
It was like a Tesla coil releasing electricity.
“Huh!”
‘The sudden appearance of this strange phenomenon filled everyone with surprise while strange expressions appeared.
Such a phenomenon was inauspicious. Dark clouds looming and lightning striking from a clear sky was a major ominous sign.
Moreover, the dark clouds seemed stuck above Emperor Tianyun’s head, and he could not dodge it at all.
It specifically struck him!
What wicked stuff did he do to be punished by the heavens!
Someone thought.
At that moment, Emperor Tianyun was breaking down on the inside.
At such a glorious moment, such a strange and humiliating incident happened. It was simply too embarrassing.
‘What made it worse was that he could not dispel the dark clouds with his own power, nor could he dodge the lightning.
Although the lightning discharged by the dark clouds was harmless to him and did not deal much physical damage, it was extremely insulting.
This was the joyous occasion of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty’s National Day, and it was also the holy moment for him to crown the new emperor.
Under the gazes of everyone, he was continuously chased by the ominous dark clouds and struck by its lightning. It was the same as being nailed to the pillar of humiliation in public and getting whipped repeatedly.
I still want my face!
This will make me the laughing stock of the world!
Even Emperor Tianyun could not calm down at this moment. The main reason was that the dark clouds were too strange.
I’m not a jinx, so why is there an ominous sign above my head? Did something happen, or is this a premonition?
“Is this the wrath of heaven?”
“Did Emperor Tianyun do something bad?”
“How much evil has he done for such a scene?”
“This isn’t a good sign. The instant the new emperor succeeded the throne, such an inauspicious thing happened. Is this a sign that the fortunes of the Heavenly Fate Dynasty are over, or that Emperor Hengyun is not fit to be the emperor?”
“This Heavenly Fate Celebration has become the Bad Luck Celebration. The world is about to change!”
Everyone was too stunned to speak, but they only thought about it. No one dared to voice it.
After all, the Heavenly Fate Emperor was no ordinary person. How would they dare to casually discuss him here?
Inside the Qingyun Sect, Mo Wuhui lay on the ground with his body smoking. The smell of roasted meat lingered in the air, causing a few disciples to gulp.
Before long, a group of Qingyun Sect disciples gathered around as if they were observing a rare animal.
Some daring guys even took out magic treasures that could record images to take pictures with him. Some even regretted not recording the shocking moment when he was struck by lightning.
Mo Wuhui really wanted to suck their vitality dry and
Then, there was another round of electroshock therapy.
“Damn, he’s hit again! This is shocking!”
“Spectacular scenes. I’ve successfully recorded it down!”
“This old uncle is too tough! He’s still alive!”
“Hey! Look! He’s crying. How pitiful!”
“I can’t bear to watch this any longer. Senior Brother, why don’t we give him a quick death? Otherwise, being struck repeatedly will be worse than death!”
“You’re very right! Look at his expression. It’s worse than a dead person. I think he must really want to die now!”
Mo Wuhui slowly closed his eyes and shut off his five senses. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
There was no thought, no evil, no joy, no sorrow, no love, nothing.
After adjusting on the spot for a long time, Mo Wuhui felt that his mind had become clear again, and his bodily functions had more or less recovered.
He opened his eyes again and looked at the sympathetic Gu Yuqi.
After that, he waved his hand, grabbed Gu Yugi, and sped off. He was so quick that he practically disappeared from the eyes of all the disciples.
Before everyone could react, Mo Wuhui had already rushed out of the Qingyun Sect’s mountain gate before escaping into the distance with Gu Yugi in his hand.
However, after running for more than five kilometers, Mo Wuhui was struck by another instant lightning bolt. At the same time, a meteorite fell from the sky and crashed down.
Crash!
Abig hole dozens of meters wide appeared in the ground. The terrifying shock wave snapped the surrounding trees while dust and air rushed into the sky, surging into the distance.
“What the… A meteorite?”
Li Yu, who was flying over on his flood dragon, happened to witness the meteorite falling from the sky and smashing into the mountain range in the distance.
“A stone from beyond the heavens must be something special!” At Li Yu’s side, Ji Qinglan had a look of surprise too.
