Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist - Chapter 282

Once again the hall was filled with chatters as everyone found themselves shocked by the discovery.

No one had any inkling about the heir of the Thunder Immortal but since it was the Empress Dowager who was disclosing the secret, none of them dared to question it.

Li Ming felt a little tug on her right elbow and when she turned her face to look at Zhang Yong, the man signaled towards the Dragon Throne.

Her eyes landed on the Heaven Emperor who gave her a little nod, sending her a message with his eyes.

She found herself nodding in reply before she closed her eyes to take in a deep breath.

“I never thought that I will get to see the Ascension of the new Thunder Immortal. Miss…..”

Young Master Goa trailed off when he noticed the Heaven Emperor standing up from his Dragon throne.

The rest of the people present in the hall followed suit as they all stood up from their seats.

“On this auspicious day, the Golden Palace is going to assign the only heir of the late Thunder Immortal and the current owner of the Lightning Whip as the new Thunder Immortal who will join the rest of the six Elemental Immortals in the ranks of the High Deities.”

The Heaven Emperor announced and at that same time, everyone watched in surprise as a young lady dressed in a beautiful white dress, walked towards the staircase that led to the high platform where the Dragon Ruler was standing.

They watched her elegance, the sharpness in her eyes, the beauty that she held in her every cell, the powerful aura that surrounded her, and most importantly, they noticed the blue forehead print which was currently shining, clearing any doubts about her identity as the heir of the late Thunder Immortal.

“Miss Li Ming, the sole heir of the bloodline that has been ruling the thunder element for millenniums, and she’s also the founder of the Ming Empire. Six years ago, she successfully passed the Lightning Trial under Empress Dowager’s observation and earned the title of the next Thunder Immortal.”

The Heaven Emperor’s eyes were filled with pride as he started descending the steps as he walked closer towards the girl who was standing at the foot of the stairs.

Li Ming’s eyes were trained on the smooth floor while her hands were clasped in front of her as she quietly listened.

“Miss Li, are you eager to take the position of the next Thunder Immortal and complete your father’s last wish?”

The Heaven Emperor asked her as he finally stood in front of her.

Li Ming loosened her hands before she once again clasped them in front of her while bowing as she accepted her destiny.

“This is the least that I can do for my father.”

Her reply was clear, she’s not leaving the position of the Thunder Immortal for others to grasp.

A smile appeared on the Heaven Emperor’s lips as he nodded his head before a bright blue light shone above his outstretched hand and the very next second, he was holding a very beautiful staff with a crystal ball on its top.

As Li Ming looked at the crystal closely, she realized that it had the purest essence of thunder stored inside it.

“The Lightning Whip was personally crafted by your Grandmother when she passed her position of the Thunder Immortal to your father and now it’s in your possession.”

The Heaven Emperor told her before he moved his eyes towards the staff in his hand.

“This is the weapon which has been passed on from the very beginning. The Collector of the true essence. From today onwards you are the new owner of this legendary weapon and the new Thunder Immortal of the Immortal World.”

The announcement was followed by clapping and congratulatory shouts from everyone around her.

A powerful musical harmony filled the hall as Li Ming felt the weight of the weapon in her hands.

Her hands moved over its smooth body made of black obsidian as she felt the power that it stored.

She held the staff beside her as she closed her eyes to absorb the countless rays of spiritual energy that the Immortals present in the hall transferred into her body.

She was suddenly filled with immense power but since it was her Ascension as the new Thunder Immortal, her body was more than ready to accept such a huge amount of the energy.

Her cultivation ranks jumped and rose as she absorbed the spiritual energy. By the time Empress Dowager and the Heaven Emperor finished the ceremony by transferring their own share of spiritual energy, she was already on the third rank of the Prime Cultivator level.

“Let’s welcome the new Thunder Immortal among the ranks of the High Deities. May she have a bright future and becomes an example for the coming generations.”

Everyone followed the Heaven Emperor’s lead as they all welcomed her and blessed her for a marvelous future.

This time, she was directed to sit in the section of the High Deities who were sitting on the right side of the Empress Dowager.

But before she could move towards her new seat, the Empress Dowager stood up from her seat and signaled her to stop.

“Before we start the welcome celebrations for our new Thunder Immortal, there’s another important matter related to this young lady that I would like to announce.”

As soon as Li Ming heard these words, she found her heart sinking as nervousness took over her.

She had no idea about what was going to happen next. Or maybe she just wanted to pretend that she had no knowledge of what Empress Dowager was talking about.

Everyone present in the hall was also surprised as they could not understand exactly how many secrets a young girl was holding.

They were left shaken after the first discovery and still had not gotten the chance to recover.

Somehow, they all knew that the second discovery was going to leave them shaken to their core!
