"Your Highness, Ian Song, Domain Lord of the Flamecrest and Purple Dragon Domains, has arrived outside the hall!"
A palace guard entered to report.
"Let him in!" Hannah Murong nodded.
Moments later, Ian Song walked into the grand hall, accompanied by five Profound Immortal guards each carrying a brocade box. Looking up at Hannah Murong seated on the throne, he smiled and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Your Highness."
Hannah Murong nodded and said, "No need to stand on ceremony, Domain Lord Song. Someone, bring a seat!"
Someone quickly brought over a stool and placed it in the center of the palace. Ian sat down without hesitation.
"May I ask what brings Domain Lord Song here today?" Hannah Murong asked calmly.
"This time, I have come to formally propose marriage to Your Highness!"
Ian Song replied with a smile.
As soon as he said this, the old ministers of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom on both sides of the hall erupted in surprise. Apparently, they had no idea about the private agreement between Ian Song and Hannah Murong.
"Come, show everyone the gifts I brought!"
Suddenly, Ian Song called out in a loud voice.
Immediately, one of the five Profound Immortal guards behind him stepped forward, holding a brocade box above his head. "Domain Lord Song presents Her Highness the Princess with a set of Demigod Armor!"
Hearing that it was Demigod Armor, the old ministers of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom nodded to themselves. A fourteenth-layer Ancestral Immortal wearing Demigod Armor could easily withstand attacks from a fifteenth-layer Ancestral Immortal.
Next, the second Profound Immortal guard stepped forward, holding a brocade box above his head and announced loudly: "Domain Lord Song presents Her Highness the Princess with a stalk of God-grade Medicine."
"It's actually God-grade Medicine!"
When they heard Ian Song's second gift was a stalk of God-grade Medicine, the old ministers of Great Qin couldn't help but show expressions of deep emotion.
The third Profound Immortal guard stepped forward, holding up the brocade box and announced loudly: "Domain Lord Song presents Her Highness the Princess with a God-Frost Talisman. When activated, it can kill a fifteenth-layer Ancestral Immortal in an instant!"
Upon hearing the guard's introduction, the old ministers of Great Qin were all shocked.
A fifteenth-layer Ancestral Immortal was an absolute powerhouse—among all the old ministers present, only two had reached that realm.
The fourth Profound Immortal guard stepped forward.
At this point, the old ministers of Great Qin were all filled with anticipation. Each of the first three gifts had been more precious than the last, so the fourth was sure to be even more extraordinary.
The fourth Profound Immortal guard announced: "Domain Lord Song presents Her Highness the Princess with a God-Beast Summoning Talisman. By activating this talisman, a god-beast will appear to fight on Her Highness's behalf."
"Heavens!"
"A talisman that summons a god-beast!"
"Is it the same kind of talisman Ian Song used before to summon a Divine?"
For a moment, every old minister of Great Qin in the hall looked at Ian Song with new eyes. They had assumed he had only recently risen to power and couldn't possibly possess anything so advanced, yet here he was presenting such a rare God-Beast Summoning Talisman.
"Silence!"
Standing behind Hannah Murong, Master Heaven-Secrets called out calmly. No longer looking ragged, he now wore a black robe and cut a rather imposing figure.
The fifth Profound Immortal guard stepped forward.
In that instant, every old minister of Great Qin perked up their ears.
"Domain Lord Song presents Her Highness the Princess with an Upper-Heavenly-God Scripture. Mastering this technique allows one to reach the Upper God realm!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. Even Hannah Murong, who had been sitting calmly on the throne, couldn't help showing a look of utter shock upon hearing that Ian Song was offering a scripture that could be cultivated to the Upper God realm.
Although the Immortal World has produced God-rank scriptures before, they typically only allow one to reach the Lower God realm.
Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, a scripture capable of reaching the Middle God realm appeared. The result was a bloody storm—factions fought over it so fiercely that the world was plunged into chaos.
In the end, that scripture was seized by an ancient cultivator who had reached the eighteenth layer of the Ancestral Immortal Realm.
After that, the ancient cultivator was never seen in the Immortal World again. Some say he ascended to the Godrealm.
Seeing everyone struck speechless, Ian Song couldn't help feeling a bit proud. The reason he announced these gifts wasn't to show off, but to show respect for Hannah Murong.
After all, she was a princess of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom. If he was here to propose marriage, his gifts could not be too meager.
"Bring all the gifts forward!"
