The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

The spacious Sun and Moon Square was brightly lit.

Xu Zihuang gazed tenderly at Ju Zi, who had suddenly stopped beside him. If it weren't for that encounter, perhaps he would still have kept his emotions closed off. For revenge, he was willing to sacrifice everything he could.

Even so, at twenty years old, he already possessed cultivation levels approaching that of a Soul Saint. He was hailed as the most promising genius to break through to the tenth level of Soul Master, and was accepted as Kong Deming's last disciple. Even without the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he had other opportunities.

Three years ago, he successfully prevented Shrek Academy from bombing Mingde Hall. The current ailing emperor of the Sun Moon Empire did not die from excessive fright as he had in his previous life.

Although the situation on the mainland is tense, everything is still under control.

His position in the Sun Moon Empire became increasingly secure.

He knew his time for revenge was fast approaching.

"What's wrong, Sister Orange?"

Orange glanced at him and met his gaze. Her long, black hair shimmered with a captivating luster under the illumination of the soul-guiding lamp.

She suddenly said with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"I am already twenty-five years old this year."

Xu Zihuang gazed at her beautiful face and remained silent for a long time.

After more than a decade of companionship, the two have come to regard each other as family.

As they spent time together day and night, feelings of affection began to grow in their hearts.

For him, she has never had any intimate contact with other men of the same age in the past twenty-five years.

For her sake, he explicitly rejected Meng Hongchen and any female students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy who expressed their affection for him.

Although he did not let go of the hatred in his heart in this life, he found other things that were invaluable.

In that instant, the softest part of my heart seemed to be touched.

Just as he made up his mind to grab Ju Zi's soft hand and was about to say something, his consciousness became blurred again.

Reincarnation continues life after life, each time restarting on a different timeline, with completely different circumstances.

He has experienced glory and humiliation, and has undoubtedly endured all aspects of life.

Chapter 266 The End and the Divine Imprint

In this life, he became the person most favored by God.

From birth, he awakened memories of his past life. Through various means, he helped his father thwart Xu Tianran's family's ambition to collude with evil spirit masters and seize power.

He possesses innate full soul power, a top-tier spiritual attribute martial soul, the Golden Eye, and a mutated top-tier beast martial soul, the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon. Furthermore, he has astonishing talent at the Soul Master level, and receives assistance from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ilex.

He broke the mainland's records time and time again, making him a peerless genius of this era.

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, East Palace.

In the magnificent and luxurious palace, Xu Zihuang stood quietly in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror, letting a group of charming palace maids do his hair and makeup.

He stood tall and straight, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe embroidered with four dragons reflecting the sun and moon, befitting a prince. The purple-gold patterns perfectly complemented the few strands of purple hair on his forehead and temples. His deep purple eyes exuded nobility, and his face conveyed arrogance and majesty.

Unbeknownst to her, she attracted the attention of the palace maids, making them blush and their hearts flutter.

In their Sun Moon Empire, every young woman of marriageable age harbors a deep longing for this Crown Prince. He is simply too perfect.

His exceptional looks and demeanor were merely superficial. He also demonstrated the qualities of a wise and capable ruler in governing the country.

His talent for cultivation is astonishing, unmatched by anyone in this era.

At only twenty years old, he already possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo. He even had the terrifying feat of single-handedly annihilating five Title Douluos while still at the Soul Saint level.

A petite palace maid took out two unusual earrings from a brocade box. They were in the shapes of a golden sun and a silver moon, symbols of the Sun and Moon Empire.

At today's Crown Prince investiture ceremony, Xu Zihuang, who has become the heir apparent, is also qualified to wear these two earrings.

A petite palace maid tiptoed to put the earrings on Xu Zihuang. The golden sun and silver moon shone brightly, scattering a magnificent halo of gold and silver light.

Suddenly, a palace maid strode in from outside the door, knelt down beside Xu Zihuang, and then bowed her head respectfully and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty and the Empress have arrived. Please proceed to the Altar of Heaven immediately."

Xu Zihuang walked silently out of the palace, and a group of palace maids quickly followed behind him.

In this life, Emperor He Caitou's father passed away. Considering the current turbulent situation in the empire, he did not pass the throne to Xu He, who was still young and had not inherited the powerful martial spirit of the royal family, but instead passed it to Prince Zihuang, who was also a legitimate son and held military power.

Originally, Xu Zihuang's father planned to pass the throne to Xu He in the future, but over the years, Xu Zihuang, as the chosen one of heaven, had already won the hearts of the people. With the popular demand, this crown prince investiture ceremony, which had been delayed for more than ten years, finally took place.

As soon as they left the East Palace, they encountered another ceremonial procession. Leading the way was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a magnificent white and gold palace gown.

The stunning woman had long, captivating wine-red hair, piled high to reveal her snow-white neck, exuding an air of haughtiness like a swan. One hand gently caressed her slightly protruding belly, her beautiful face radiating happiness. Pregnant, her figure possessed an inexplicable fullness, and her fair skin took on an even more translucent quality.

She is none other than Meng Hongchen, the current Crown Princess of the Sun Moon Empire.

Today is not only Xu Zihuang's investiture ceremony as Crown Prince, but Meng Hongchen will also be made Crown Princess. It is also their wedding day.

Since they met in childhood, the two have been almost inseparable. Under Xu Zihuang's leadership, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy crushed Shrek Academy twice in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, and Meng Hongchen has always been by his side.

They cultivated together, experienced trials together, and grew together. A deep affection blossomed between them. They became the two most enviable figures in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and even in the entire Sun Moon Empire.

They had already achieved their final breakthrough long ago, but their wedding was delayed until now because Xu Zihuang had gained some insights into cultivation.

"Your Highness." Meng Hongchen parted her red lips slightly, as if to take the initiative to greet him.

Xu Zihuang raised his right hand and used an invisible soul force to stop Meng Hongchen.

"Haven't I said it many times? There's no need for so many worldly formalities between us."

Xu Zihuang gently embraced Meng Hongchen, placing his other hand on her lower abdomen.

This is the continuation of his bloodline.

An unusual tenderness grew deep within him, but it was accompanied by an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

"Mm." Meng Hongchen nodded gently, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying Xu Zihuang's doting on her.

Meeting, getting to know, and being with Xu Zihuang was the luckiest thing that ever happened to her.

The warm, smooth touch of skin against skin, and the pleasant fragrance emanating from Meng Hongchen, quickly masked this vague sense of unreality.

Xu Zihuang lowered his head and took that soft touch into his mouth with perfect ease. He had practiced this countless times in the past, but Meng Hongchen's eyes still showed a hint of shyness.

After a long while, he personally helped Meng Hongchen, whose chest was rising and falling slightly, onto the dragon carriage that was parked outside the East Palace.

The bright yellow silk brocade on the dragon chariot features a pattern of four dragons galloping, but in all the important and central positions, there is a pattern of the sun and moon vying for brilliance.

The gauze curtains surrounding the dragon-shaped chariot were lifted, revealing the figures of Xu Zihuang and Meng Hongchen. Xu Zihuang appeared noble and dignified, while Meng Hongchen exuded elegance and grace.

Since it's called Dragon Chariot, the chariot is naturally pulled by dragon-type spirit beasts.

As Xu Zihuang and his companion boarded the dragon's chariot, the golden dragon that had been lying prostrate on the ground slowly rose. Although it had no wings, its entire body was covered with fine, golden scales.

It exudes a rich aura of light. This aura of light subtly cleanses the air, making people feel warm and comfortable.

This is a golden earth dragon king with ten thousand years of cultivation, an earth dragon-type soul beast possessing pure light-attribute dragon blood. If it successfully cultivates to one hundred thousand years, it will be enough to become a beast king-level being.

This golden earth dragon king was also Xu Zihuang's opportunity in recent years. It seemed that all the fortune of this world was concentrated on him alone.

With a deep dragon roar, the dragon chariot was slowly pulled.

Thousands of elite soldiers clad in golden armor led the way, followed closely by the Golden Earth Dragon King, who pulled the dragon chariot. The palace maids who served Xu Zihuang and Meng Hongchen followed behind the dragon chariot.

On the southern outskirts of Mingdu, tens of millions of people from the Sun and Moon Empire gathered around a huge altar.

The altar itself is an oddly shaped platform. The left side is circular, and the right side is crescent-shaped, with the two sides adjacent to each other.

The circular altar covered an area of ​​over 10,000 square meters and reached a height of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters). Above the platform, there were seven layers stacked upon each other, each layer being the same shape, decreasing in size with each subsequent layer. The topmost platform was only 1,000 square meters in size.

The seven-tiered platform, from bottom to top, is colored in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. This symbolizes the colors of the rainbow, encompassing all the colors of heaven and earth.

There are four stone steps around the altar that lead one by one to the top.

The surrounding area was already completely surrounded by an army of 100,000 and tens of millions of people from the Sun Moon Empire. Furthermore, soul-guided weapon arrays were constructed in all four directions around the altar. Guarding this area were the most powerful forces under the Sun Moon Empire's protection: the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps and the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps.

By this time, it was already bright daylight, and the sunlight shone on the magnificent Sun and Moon Altar, refracting dazzling seven-colored clouds of light, which looked extremely spectacular from a distance.

A dignified middle-aged man wearing a purple-gold crown with nine dragons holding a pearl stood on the top of the altar, enjoying the cheers of the people and soldiers.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Under the unified command of the soldiers waving their spears, cheers as loud as mountains and waves resounded through the sky.

The middle-aged man is the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, and also Xu Zihuang's father, the former Zihuang King Xu Zhengxuan.

On the second level of the altar, a beautiful woman, also dressed in a long palace gown, waited quietly to the side, a faint smile on her face. This was none other than Yu Qing'er, the current Empress of the Sun Moon Empire, a descendant of the Heavenly Dragon Gate lineage of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Because of this connection, and because Xu Zhengxuan vigorously promoted the connection between the Sun Moon Empire and the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent after he came to power.

The relationship between the Sun Moon Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire entered a sweet period, and relations with the Star Luo Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire also eased considerably.

One of the claims is that the people of the Sun Moon Empire and the people of the three kingdoms originally from the Douluo Continent are more likely to produce geniuses.

Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court, are the best examples. In this life, Zhang Lexuan's bloodline source has been identified. Her Silver Moon Martial Soul is also a powerful Martial Soul inherited from the Sun Moon Empire.

The mainland has entered an unprecedented period of peace.

But this is only the surface appearance; the high-ranking officials of the four empires are all secretly making their own moves.

Only when there is a unified country on the mainland can true peace be achieved.

From afar, in the direction of Mingdu, a procession entirely composed of people in bright yellow slowly approached the Sun and Moon Altar.

The cheers grew even louder, a cry from the very depths of the hearts of the people of the Sun and Moon Empire.

This father and son will surely lead their Sun Moon Empire to prosperity and into a new era of flourishing.

Longyuan finally arrived at the edge of the Sun and Moon Altar amidst the attention of everyone.

Xu Zihuang took Meng Hongchen's hand and walked past countless eager-looking people and soldiers, heading towards the altar amidst cheers.

Standing on the five levels below the altar were all important figures in the Sun Moon Empire: top nobles, powerful figures in the military, and members of the royal family.

The higher one's position, the greater their status.

When Xu Zihuang reached the fifth floor, he saw many familiar faces.

Yao Yang, who had already been granted the title of Marquis of Yue Nan, revealed a warm and gentle smile. Jing Hongchen and his grandson Xiao Hongchen wore expressions of satisfaction and fervor.

After this, the power of the Red Dust Family in the Sun Moon Empire will rise to its peak.

The commander of the Five Guardian Soul Master Corps, all the royal family's retainers, and Kong Deming, the head of the Hall of Offerings.

Kong Deming's eyes were filled with pride. He wasn't concerned about the title of future imperial tutor, but rather he was genuinely proud of the flourishing prospects of the Sun Moon Empire.

Then came the members of the royal family. Among them were the various princes, and Xu Tianran and his brothers, who avoided eye contact with him.
