Chapter 38 Arrival
The next day, the Imperial Palace in the Great Chu Emperor's City. If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the entire palace complex is a huge spirit gathering formation, and the center of this spirit gathering formation is the Qianxin Palace where Emperor Chu lives.
In the main hall of Qianxin Palace, Emperor Chu was sitting high, unchanged as before half a year ago. His handsome face was expressionless, and he was just practicing silently through the vortex of spiritual energy around him.
Footsteps were heard one after another outside the hall, and from time to time, three or two Taoists led young girls and boys into the hall. After entering the hall, they did not make any noise. After saluting Emperor Chu, they stood quietly in awe of His Highness.
In a short while, in addition to the central imperial state, the nineteen Taoist monarchs from the other ten states' Taoist mansions had arrived in the palace, and there were also 14 young girls they brought with them, who were the Daizong of the ten states' Taoist mansions. Temporarily accepted disciple.
Emperor Chu stopped his practice, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said calmly: "Everyone is here, let's go to the rooftop of Qintianjian to meet the secret envoy of Wenyuanshan Affairs Hall."
Wenyuan Mountain, the third mountain of the Shangqing Holy Sect, has twelve halls and hundreds of peaks. Among them, sect chores, directory records, task records, grade assessment and other chores are almost all divided into various halls in Wenyuan Mountain. Each hall has elders and deacons in charge. All matters regarding the recruitment of disciples in these twenty-seven mortal secret realms are under the control of the secret realm envoys in the affairs hall.
The Dao Lords saluted and said: "Yes, Master Master." Xu Disheng lowered his head slightly in the crowd, looked at the dozen or so Dao Lords in front of the hall, and found that most of them had deep auras and mysterious energy gathering and dispersing around them. It is obviously the Qi Sea realm.
There are two other people who are only in the Tongmai realm, which is similar to their own realm, but they can be the Tao Lords of a Tao Mansion. Shaking his head slightly, needless to say, these are some outside disciples of the Holy Sect. They have no intention of making any progress. They promised to bribe the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall with heavy gifts and used them to enter the secret realm with the pretense of ban and punishment. Drunk and dreaming of death, just living an ignoble existence.
Emperor Chu said: "Without courtesy, let's go now." After saying this, he walked down the steps and walked out of the palace, with dozens of people following him. After leaving Qianxin Palace, there were two young men and a girl waiting at the palace gate. Seeing Emperor Chu coming out, he saluted respectfully and said, "I've met Grandpa Zu." It was the three people from the Chu family who had changed their surname back to Chu.
Emperor Chu nodded, lightly
He lightly swung his sleeves and went straight to the outer palace, Qin Tian Supervisor.
When we got to the huge rooftop of Qintian Prison, there were already hundreds of guards waiting around. On the high rooftop, the wind gradually began to blow, getting louder and louder, until the wind blew even my clothes were fluttering.
Emperor Chu tilted his head slightly and asked, "What time is it now?"
The leader of the golden-armored guards who stood beside him lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, it has just passed the hour of the hour."
In the crowd behind him, a young-looking Dao Lord, who was obviously a member of the Chu family, stepped forward and said: "Ancestor, those secret realm envoys who have full authority to control the affairs of the mortal secret realm are never on time. It’s just putting on airs again.”
Hearing this, the other Dao Lords glanced at the Chu Family Dao Lord, with various expressions in their eyes, but no one spoke.
A hint of displeasure appeared on Emperor Chu's expressionless face, and he glanced coldly at the young Taoist Lord.
The young Taoist king realized that he had made a mistake, and with a sullen expression on his face, he retreated into the crowd. Such people from the Chu family were not banned from entering this realm, but were born in the Chu family, had profound veins, and entered the spiritual root sequence. But he doesn't want to go to the human realm. When everything goes smoothly and he reaches the Qi Sea realm without any setbacks, he will be released as a Dao Lord and take charge of the power. As a member of the royal family, he was somewhat unsure of his position mentally.
The wind became louder and louder, and the wind gradually raged, forming a storm vortex several feet in radius from high in the sky on the rooftop. After the vortex was formed, it only took a moment before it expanded crazily to a size of ten feet.
A wooden boat slowly emerged from the center of the storm vortex, sailed out from high altitude, and floated above the rooftop.
Emperor Chu showed a smile and said: "Junior brother Liu, why are you and these two junior brothers this time? Didn't the deacon come?" It was obvious that he had known the leader for a long time. Behind Emperor Chu, many Taoist monarchs respectfully said: "Welcome to the Secret Realm Envoy of the Affairs Hall."
The wooden boat landed on the rooftop, and a middle-aged man stepped off the wooden boat. He did not even look at the many Qi Sea Realm Dao Lords. He just waved his hands slightly and smiled at Emperor Chu: "I haven't seen you in decades. Congratulations to Senior Brother Chu for making a further step in cultivation." . The deacon is busy with affairs, and he is currently preparing with the elders for the placement and distribution of new disciples in the mortal secret realms. In the past few days, I have visited four or five secret realms, and some of them came late.
Okay, Senior Brother Chu, don’t blame him. "
This secret realm envoy named Liu is also a Taoist realm. The two disciples of the Affairs Hall behind him looked arrogant even though they were in the Qi Sea realm. They only had some respect for Emperor Chu, and they also did not look at the many Qi Sea realms behind him. Obviously, it is impossible to get such a lucrative position without strong family connections. How can you look after these disciples, most of whom have violated the sect's rules and have been banned in the secret realm.
Emperor Chu shook his head slightly and said: "Junior brother Liu is too far-sighted. I have already arranged the Lingzhai to receive the wind for the three junior brothers."
Liu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior Brother Chu, this... is too expensive." The two disciples from the Affairs Hall behind him also showed a hint of joy.
Emperor Chu just smiled and said: "No problem, I haven't seen Junior Brother Liu for decades, but a visit to Lingzhai is still a bit shabby."
The so-called Lingzhai is a simple meal made from some elixirs and fruits from the human world. It is full of spiritual energy and is of great benefit to cultivation. In the Shangqing Holy Sect, a Lingzhai made of the most common elixirs and fruits cost more than 150 spiritual stones. You can imagine how expensive it is.
However, the Chu family was wealthy, and although it was under the purview of the acting sect, the sect almost never interfered, and only provided some fresh blood to the sect on a regular basis. One can imagine how wealthy they are, but a Lingzhai seat is nothing to the Chu family. Ling Zhai is something that ordinary Qi Sea Realm disciples cannot even think about. Even those who are strong in the Taoist realm do not need to be so extravagant. It is much more cost-effective to spend more than a hundred spiritual stones to eat a spiritual meal. It is better to buy pills of the same value. Therefore, this Lingzhai is generally only used to entertain guests.
The secret envoy surnamed Liu smiled and said: "Senior Brother Chu is so kind, but I would be disrespectful to you." After saying this, he pinched a spell in his hand, and the storm vortex in the air gradually faded away and returned to calm. He looked at the wooden boat and then said: "Senior Brother Chu, the sect's ferry boat is placed here. This boat is too bulky and too huge. There is not enough space for my storage of spiritual weapons. "
Emperor Chu nodded and led the three people from the Affairs Hall down to the rooftop. From the beginning to the end, the three people from the Affairs Hall did not even look at the crowd. The Dao Lords looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and followed with their disciples.
