Tan Yun respectfully said, “I understand clearly!”
“Mm.” The Western Continent Emperor nodded, looking down at the kneeling Tan Yun, and spoke loudly, “Xiao Zhang, hear my decree.”
Tan Yun was taken aback, and everyone turned to look at the Western Continent Emperor. From the Emperor’s tone, they could tell that he was going to make an exception to confer a title upon Xiao Zhang.
“I am here.” Tan Yun said respectfully.
The Western Continent Emperor looked down at the Gods and spoke clearly so that everyone could hear, “This Emperor announces that Xiao Zhang is appointed as the Marquis of Divine Valor, holding the first rank, and the Imperial Palace will grant him a residence.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded!
They never expected that the Emperor would confer Xiao Zhang as Marquis of Divine Valor, and at the first rank no less!
Such a high position was equivalent to being on par with the four grand marshals!
From the reactions of the Gods, one could see just how favored Tan Yun was by the Western Continent Emperor.
“Thank you for your great grace, Your Majesty!” Tan Yun bowed and called out, though in truth, he did not care about these titles and wealth.
“Mm.” The Western Continent Emperor smiled and said, “Marquis of Divine Valor, I permit you to not attend court nor enter the military camp until you reach the Dao Emperor Realm.”
“Your future goal is to focus on your cultivation.”
Tan Yun replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Rise.” After allowing Tan Yun to get up, the Western Continent Emperor looked down at the Gods and proclaimed, “This Emperor announces that the seventh princess is betrothed to the Marquis of Divine Valor, and a date for the wedding will be chosen!”
As soon as the Western Continent Emperor finished speaking, cheers erupted from both inside the Heavenly Sky Dojo and the mountains outside the city.
To the Gods, the pride of heaven, Tan Yun, and the seventh princess, Yu Yunxi, were such a perfect match.
At the top of the Divine Pavilion, the Western Continent Emperor raised his hand slightly, and the Heavenly Sky Dojo fell into silence.
The Western Continent Emperor looked at Helian Mengde and said, “Great Offering, the auspicious date is up to you to choose.”
“I will follow your command.” Helian Mengde smiled.
“Wait.” Suddenly, Yu Yunxi spoke up.
“Xi’er, what is it?” The Western Continent Emperor frowned.
Yu Yunxi pouted her lips and said, “Father Emperor, there is no rush for the wedding. I would like to stay by your side a little longer and accompany you.”
“Father Emperor, how about this? Once I decide the date for the wedding with Xiao Zhang, we can marry then, okay?”
The Western Continent Emperor laughed and said, “That won't do! Marriage is a big affair that must be decided by your father.”
“But Father Emperor, you shouldn’t be too anxious!” Yu Yunxi replied.
The Western Continent Emperor pondered for a moment and said, “How about this, once Xiao Zhang advances to the Dao Emperor Realm, you can marry then.”
“Daughter will obey.” Yu Yunxi smiled sweetly, particularly charming. Then, she suddenly thought of something, her skirt fluttered as she happily descended onto the Heavenly Battle Platform, standing gracefully in front of Tan Yun.
“What’s the matter, seventh princess?” Tan Yun asked.
“Now I can be called by name in public.” Yu Yunxi communicated.
Tan Yun smiled lightly and said, “Yunxi, what’s wrong?”
“Xiao Zhang, I have a great gift for you.” Yu Yunxi said with a beaming smile, “During your challenge for marriage, the Great Offering organized a betting scheme, and I placed a bet of three trillion Supreme Ancestor Stones on you to be the first to reach the top.”
“Oh really?” Tan Yun immediately became energetic, “Yunxi, what’s the odds?”
Yu Yunxi smiled brilliantly and extended four slender fingers.
“Four times?” Tan Yun laughed, “That would be twelve trillion Supreme Ancestor Stones, that’s wonderful.”
