I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 924 Clear rewards and punishments
The emperors' minds were no longer on the century-old prodigies of the Prophecy Society.

However, their attitude did not dampen the liveliness of the sermon.

The most outstanding talents of the century vied for the highest ranks, seeking enlightenment and competing against their peers, while the audience gasped in amazement at the spectacular performances on stage.

"To put it bluntly, after that King Deng left, the Confucian Church actually became more like the Confucian Church."

"Are you out of your mind?!" How dare you say something like that?
"I meant no disrespect, and given that person's character, they wouldn't blame us for such a remark."

“I think what this fellow Daoist said is right… When she was on the Dao Proving Platform, she crushed the other geniuses, making them pale in comparison. Now that she’s gone, these geniuses have finally had their chance to shine.”

This is the fact.

Mi Bayue's level of combat with the Throne Spirit Heir on the Proof Platform has surpassed that of a Star-Rank Spirit Master.

When she's around, even if she doesn't intentionally try to suppress others, she still inevitably outshines them.

The audience was so excited by her battles that watching other prodigies' battles always felt a bit lacking.

Now that Mi Bayue has stepped down from the platform of enlightenment ahead of schedule, it is as if the bright moon has disappeared, so that the stars can shine in their own way and be seen by the world.

The Heavenly Ranking of Yang Meridians and the Heavenly Ladder of Eternal Dreamland—everyone on the list is extraordinary.

Aside from some already famous among spirit masters and with many shadow stones left on the intelligence network, this Dao Proving Conference also allowed everyone to see some rare and precious geniuses.

Like Yi Ji, who entered the Spirit Master Path at an advanced age, possessed the talent of a Sky Seeker but always kept a low profile as the team's behind-the-scenes deputy commander, and had studied the Way of Deception, the Way of Magic, and the Way of Calligraphy, and whose Star Rank cultivation later surpassed others.

She displayed a smooth and strategic demeanor when battling others on the Proving Platform. Initially, she didn't attract much attention amidst the various exciting and intense battles on the Proving Platform. However, as time passed, when the once-favored prodigies were defeated by Yi Ji, more and more people began to pay attention to her.

"who is she?"

Yi Ji, who participated in the sermon, was not dressed as a Night Wanderer, and many people did not immediately recognize her background or identity.

After asking each other for a while, someone finally revealed her name and background, which caused surprise.

"She's also a Night Wanderer? I thought Night Wanderers were all young prodigies. She seems to be quite old. The people who are matched with her in battle are all over fifty years old."

"Indeed, he's not young anymore, and his bone age is close to fifty. So, he's not particularly outstanding among the Night Wanderers."

"What do you know? Sister Ji has been cultivating for less than ten years since she first gained spiritual insight!" He shouted this loudly.

Everyone turned around and saw that the one who shouted was actually a Night Wanderer. The surprise and doubt that was about to come out were swallowed back, leaving only shock.

What does it mean to have spiritual enlightenment in less than ten years?
It doesn't mean that it took longer than Mi Bayue to cultivate!

Even more frightening is...

"We've found her information. She was originally from the mortal world, but only began spiritual cultivation in middle age!"

As people reach middle age, especially ordinary people, their physical condition and energy gradually decline, making it not the best time for cultivation.

In the past, people were always shocked to hear that someone had started cultivating at a young age. Now, Yi Ji has surpassed her, which is equally astonishing to those who know the truth.

Even if some gold has been covered in dust for a long time, its essence remains unchanged. Once the dust is wiped away, its brilliance will be revealed to the world.

Yi Ji doesn't look young either, maintaining the appearance of someone in their thirties. With her cultivation speed and the various resources available in Eternal Dreamland, she could easily restore her appearance to an even younger state. However, Yi Ji has never cared about this aspect and has always been carefree and at ease.

Her personal charisma was evident even before she cultivated, when she was merely a mortal, commanding the trust and loyalty of everyone in the princess's residence. After she began cultivating, her Night Wanderer squad regarded her as the true leader behind the scenes, and other Night Wanderer squads would obey her plans when acting together.

Now, after the Path of Enlightenment Conference, Yi Ji has quietly gained a large amount of attention again.

Mi Bayue was also watching Yi Ji.

After watching two of Yi Ji's duels, the Azure Tail Throne quickly discovered Yi Ji's hidden talent, and asked Mi Bayue, "Is she a Sky Seer?"

"Hmm," Mi Bayue said with a faint smile.

The Azure Throne chuckled and sighed, "Eternal Dreamland is truly teeming with elites; I'm starting to feel envious."

What he was thinking was that the mortal continent was indeed a hidden treasure land, with so many precious gems buried here.

In the past, they were blinded by the apparent spiritual energy of the ley lines, and they ignored this treasure land as wasteland for so long.

Now, even though they can only look on with envy, they can only helplessly trade with others.

The Azure Tail Throne paused, then used a telepathic connection that the other thrones couldn't hear to speak to Mi Bayue: "I have some thoughts to share with Bayue regarding the resurgence of spiritual energy in the mortal continent."

After she finished speaking, she saw that Mi Bayue did not seem to resist. Although her expression was indifferent and her smile was as usual, revealing nothing of her thoughts, the fact that she did not refuse meant that they could talk.

The Azure Tail Throne first showed its sincerity: "Seventy percent of the Dan Sect of the Yang Meridian belongs to my forces. In terms of spiritual plants and alchemy resources, I am second to none."

This is true.

Take, for example, Xunxiangju, which was offended by Li Jingsheng, one of Mi Bayue's aliases, and Jinxu Baiyu Palace, from which the Jinyu siblings who fought with her came. They seem to be different sects with different sect leaders, but they are both backed by the Azure Tail Throne.

This is not a secret within the Yang Meridian Throne, but those below the throne are unaware of it, including the two sects themselves.

If we only consider the strength of alchemy techniques, the Rhinoceros Horn Throne is stronger than the Azure Tail Throne, but the former is a solitary alchemist who has not developed any power under his command.

Mi Hachiyue already knew these secrets, but the Azure Throne might not be aware of them. Now that she has taken the initiative to reveal them, it certainly shows her sincerity.

The Azure Tail Throne then spoke with substance, exchanging information with Mi Bayue via secret telepathic communication about the advantages of alchemists, such as their ability to nourish the land, their gentler spiritual energy, and the more stable spiritual poison in the spiritual sea.

After the two sides went back and forth, seemingly amicably negotiating the resource price, they finally reached an agreement.

Mi Hachiyue took out a map that she had prepared beforehand and let the Azure Throne choose a location first.

By the time the Azure Throne wanted to remind her to secretly give it to him, it was too late.

She could only give Mi Bayue a resentful look before quickly putting the map away.

However, no matter how fast she was, she couldn't outrun the perception of the thrones.

From the moment the Azure Throne and Mi Hachiki began their exchange, the other Thrones appeared to have no reaction, but in reality, they were all secretly observing.

When the two people don't speak to each other but exchange glances multiple times, it's easy to guess that they are communicating telepathically.

Now that Mi Hachigatsu has given the Azure Throne something, there must have been some kind of deal.

"Azure Tail is as cunning as ever," said the Throne of Heavenly Light with displeasure. "I wonder what kind of deal it made with Mi Bayue."

Su Yaoguang said, "Ancestral land."

The Heavenly Throne was startled.

The mortal continent is quite large, but no one would complain about having too much territory.

The Azure Throne, by first connecting with Mi Hachizuki, gained the right of first choice!
The Throne of Heavenly Light still remembers what Su Yaoguang said about the possible future disasters on the Lingzhou Continent and the prospect of the ancestral land's spiritual energy revival.

She didn't want the Azure Tail Throne to seize the initiative and occupy the best position first, so she also planned to communicate with Mi Hachigatsu in advance.

"No rush," Su Yaoguang stopped her.

The Heavenly Throne asked, "What's your idea?"

Su Yaoguang said, "Mi Bayue is an upright person, but he has his own set of standards for rewarding and punishing good and evil."

Before today, Su Yaoguang would not have used the word "pure and upright" to describe Mi Bayue, because the aura she exuded when she ascended the throne was simply too pure and upright.

“The actions of the pro-war faction will not be erased.”

"Our mutual protection during the human race's time of crisis will not be forgotten."

The Heavenly Throne calmed down as Su Yaoguang spoke in a composed tone, but a strange look flashed across its face when it heard the last sentence.

She passed away willingly at that time, and I believe Su Yaoguang felt the same way.

Otherwise, the throne would not have been able to be passed away peacefully.

Now Su Yaoguang is using this to claim credit, while Leng Jing seems to be talking about someone else...

Well, it's not like I just realized that my temperament is inferior to Su Yaoguang's.

The Heavenly Throne joked, "From the way you're talking, it's as if you already knew everything would return to normal, so you deliberately died first to claim the credit."

Ok?
So, if Su Yaoguang is a celestial observer, then Du Shiru is also a celestial observer.

Both passed away one after the other.

Could it be that they actually glimpsed some divine secret and that's why they did this?
