The two words "Conferring the title of King" fell.
The entire bustling great hall fell slightly silent.
The gazes of the various elders and important figures of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, as well as the direct descendants, all converged on Jun Xiaoyao.
Conferring a title of King was absolutely no small matter.
Not to mention, Jun Xiaoyao did not share the Jiang surname; he was a king of a different surname.
In the past, conferring such titles was treated with the utmost caution.
Even if Jiang Tailin agreed, it still had to go through deliberations with the various Old Ancestors, elders, and other such existences.
But now, upon hearing that Jiang Tailin wanted to confer the title of King upon Jun Xiaoyao.
In the entire hall, not a single member of the Jiang Family had any objections.
It could be said that although Jun Xiaoyao did not share the Jiang surname, all members of the Jiang Family had already subconsciously regarded him as one of their own.
Naturally, there was no distinction between those with the same surname or a different one.
As for the merits required to be conferred as a king.
That went without saying; it required no pen or ink to describe.
The merits Jun Xiaoyao had established for the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty were already greater than the heavens themselves, having even rewritten the national destiny of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty.
The various important figures and elders of the Jiang Family all nodded with satisfaction as they looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
Meanwhile, some of the young people and direct descendant Prodigies of the Jiang Family were filled with reverence and admiration in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Jun Xiaoyao hesitated slightly.
In truth, he really did not care about such matters.
Furthermore, it was impossible for him to stay in the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty forever; he would leave eventually, so...
Jiang Tailin seemed to see through Jun Xiaoyao's concerns.
"Rest assured, even after becoming a King of my Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, there is no requirement for you to stay in the Immortal Dynasty forever."
"It is merely a symbol of status and position."
"Besides, you have already refused once before, so you cannot refuse again now."
When Jun Xiaoyao first arrived at the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, Jiang Tailin had wanted to recruit him and had even proposed conferring the title of King.
But at that time, Jun Xiaoyao had declined.
Moreover, there was indeed no justification for conferring the title of King, so it had to be dropped.
Now, Jun Xiaoyao's merits were sufficient to silence anyone; no one would have the slightest objection.
At this moment, Jiang Wolong, who was sitting in the seat of honor, said: "Jun Xiaoyao, this is an honor you deserve."
"The Jiang Family will not be stingy with its own people."
Seeing that even Jiang Wolong had spoken, Jun Xiaoyao was not someone who lacked tact.
He slightly cupped his hands and said: "Then I thank Your Majesty, Senior Wolong, and the others for your great kindness."
After this.
The news regarding Jun Xiaoyao's conferment as King spread throughout Eastern Vastness.
Upon hearing this news, various factions all had different thoughts.
It was unexpected, yet it also seemed reasonable.
"This should be the youngest King among all the Immortal Dynasties."
"Sigh, this move by the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty can be considered a statement of their stance, completely drawing Jun Xiaoyao in as one of their own."
"In the future, whoever dares to target Jun Xiaoyao will, by virtue of his status as King, be targeting the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty."
"The Tianyu Immortal Dynasty is also conveying a message: Jun Xiaoyao is under the protection of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty."
Many people understood.
The Tianyu Immortal Dynasty's announcement of this news could also be considered an alternative form of protection for Jun Xiaoyao.
After all, Jun Xiaoyao had offended too many people and factions.
And now, by granting him the title of King Xiaoyao.
Coupled with the backing of a major figure like Jiang Wolong.
In the entire Eastern Vastness, there was likely truly no one who would dare to target Jun Xiaoyao openly.
Shortly thereafter, the invitation cards for the conferment of King from the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty were sent to various factions.
Now, no faction dared to offend the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty again.
They all brought generous gifts to offer their congratulations.
Jun Xiaoyao was speechless about this.
He had requested that the conferment ceremony not be so complicated, just simple would do.
Yet the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty held it extremely grandly, with gongs and drums beating.
However, Jun Xiaoyao understood that this was the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty building up his prestige.
This was the care from his own people, and he could only accept it.
The conferment ceremony was grand and mighty, with brilliant neon clouds filling the sky and people from all walks of life coming to pay their respects.
Various important figures of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty appeared.
The Ancient Ancestor Jiang Wolong also appeared in person, causing all directions to tremble in awe.
They knew that this signified that Jun Xiaoyao had Jiang Wolong backing him.
Jun Xiaoyao, peerless in white, stood with his hands behind his back on the conferment platform, receiving the King's Decree bestowed by Jiang Tailin.
The two characters "Xiaoyao" were engraved on it, representing his identity as the King Xiaoyao of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty.
"Greetings, King Xiaoyao!"
On the plaza, many guards, immortal soldiers, and generals of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty all knelt on one knee before Jun Xiaoyao.
The sound was mighty, like a sudden clap of thunder on level ground, spreading throughout heaven and earth.
Countless more people from various factions who had come to pay their respects on the outskirts also cupped their hands.
"We offer our congratulations to King Xiaoyao!"
Below the conferment platform.
Jiang Haomiao, Jiang Yunran, Jiang Tianlan, Jiang Wanyi, and other direct descendants were all here watching.
Jiang Haomiao could not help but sigh with emotion.
"Brother Jun being conferred as a King is the desire of the masses; he must have broken the record for the fastest conferment."
"Ninth Sister, don't you think so..."
Jiang Haomiao turned his head to look.
He discovered that Jiang Yunran, who was beside him, had her eyelashes slightly raised, her eyes fixed on Jun Xiaoyao's figure, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ninth Sister?"
"Ah... Royal Brother, what did you say?"
Jiang Yunran regained her senses.
"Ninth Sister, since returning from Wangsheng Cave, you seem to have been frequently dazed and absent-minded. What is going on?" Jiang Haomiao asked.
"I... it's nothing." Jiang Yunran lowered her eyes slightly.
What could she say?
Say that inside Wangsheng Cave, her Primordial Spirit had communicated and merged with Jun Xiaoyao's?
Although it could not yet be counted as a true Primordial Spirit fusion.
But that intimacy of Primordial Spirits communicating with each other was definitely no less than a sincere exchange of Physical Bodies.
In fact, it even had a feeling that went deep into the Soul.
Jiang Yunran also felt that something had been a little off since she returned from Wangsheng Cave.
She always recalled scene after scene in Wangsheng Cave.
Jun Xiaoyao taking her hand.
Smelling the fragrance on her.
In that desperate Divine Soul space, her Primordial Spirit had been protected and warmed by Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit.
She remembered Jun Xiaoyao telling her that if there was any danger, he would protect her and keep her safe.
All of this, to a woman, had too much impact.
That kind of impact left behind a wound of the heart.
Therefore, Jiang Yunran was often dazed and distracted.
She even felt that her Primordial Spirit was still stained with the aura of Jun Xiaoyao's Primordial Spirit.
What could be more profound than having even one's Soul stained with his aura?
However, Jiang Yunran noticed.
Compared to her own dazed state after returning.
Jun Xiaoyao seemed exactly the same as usual.
It seemed that he did not have any special emotions toward her because of their shared experience in Wangsheng Cave.
Jiang Yunran knew that Jun Xiaoyao had a wife.
And he had said that seeing her was like seeing his wife.
Was she just a substitute?
No, perhaps not even a substitute.
A substitute could at least be used for consumption.
But Jun Xiaoyao had never expressed any special intentions toward her.
It was just normal care from a clan brother for a clan sister.
But this, on the contrary, made her feel inexplicably conflicted.
Jiang Yunran's long, curled eyelashes lifted slightly as she looked at the peerless man on the conferment platform, his figure as straight as bamboo, his white clothing timeless.
Handsome and peerless, there was no one else like him in the world.
She suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable chaos in her heart.
Carrying a complex mixture of many flavors.
Clearly, she had been very simple before, her heart like still water.
Apart from working hard to Cultivate and aiming for the Young Emperor Level, she had no other superfluous thoughts.
But now, she felt that her mind seemed a bit chaotic.
Especially when she saw Jun Xiaoyao's figure, it would become even more chaotic.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yunran withdrew her gaze and turned to leave silently.
On the conferment platform, Jun Xiaoyao noticed this, his gaze following Jiang Yunran's departing figure.
Not knowing what he was thinking about.
