(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
In the palace where Li Mu lived, the transmission hub of Changfeng Domain, Lu Lang was saying something to Li Mu with a beaming smile on his face.
After listening to Lu Lang's story, Li Mu nodded slightly: "Yes, you did a good job."
"Hehe, Palace Master, when Su Hong joins our big family, can he be under my jurisdiction?" Lu Lang said with anticipation.
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Do you want to gain a sense of accomplishment by making your former young palace master your subordinate?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lang immediately said with a righteous look on his face: "How is it possible? How could I be that kind of person? I just want to help Su Hong integrate into our big family as soon as possible because he was kind to me. Besides, after joining our Lingxiao Sect, we are all family. It is impossible for me to seek a sense of accomplishment in such a despicable way!"
"That's good. Lu Lang, you must remember that in my Lingxiao Sect, there is no room for bullying subordinates and abusing power for personal gain. No matter what kind of person he was before, as long as he attains enlightenment in Lingxiao Jianmu, everything he had before will disappear into thin air. In the future, he will have only one identity, and that is a good son of my Lingxiao Sect!" Li Mu said in a deep voice.
"I understand. The Palace Master is very kind. It is a blessing for me to follow you! To meet a Palace Master like you, I am willing to go through fire and water and even die!" Lu Lang expressed his opinion quickly.
Li Mu waved his hand and did not continue with this topic. Only he knew in his heart that as long as the cultivators had achieved enlightenment in Lingxiao Jianmu, they would be absolutely loyal to him. He did not need to play tricks to balance the subordinates with each other. Internal friction among subordinates would only do him harm, so he would never tolerate those tendencies that were not conducive to unity.
…………
Half a month later, a young man in a purple-gold Taoist robe and an old man arrived at the transmission hub in a hurry. Peng Xiangwen prostrated himself to greet them, his body trembling constantly: "Young Palace Master, Lord Territory Master."
The people who came were Su Hong, the young master of Tianri Palace, and Liu Yuanbai, the lord of Changfeng Domain.
"What's going on? The transmission channel should break down at any time, but it broke down just before the Young Monks Exchange Conference. Peng Xiangwen, how did you become the stationmaster?" Su Hong asked harshly.
The reason why the transmission channel had problems was naturally due to Li Mu's doing. A while ago, at Li Mu's suggestion, Lu Lang led Peng Xiangwen away, and Li Mu took this opportunity to tamper with the transmission channel in order to lure Su Hong over.
"Young Palace Master, I... I really don't know what's going on! The passage was still working fine more than half a month ago. It became problematic after a senior from the Giant Spirit Sect used it in advance." Peng Xiangwen said bitterly.
"What senior? Who asked you to open the transmission channel for him in advance?" Su Hong was furious.
"I heard that the senior was once the 137th elder of the Juling Sect and was a powerful being in the Chaos Immortal Ancestor Realm. According to regulations, he has the authority to open transmission channels in various places in advance." Peng Xiangwen explained.
"Haha, you are so good, Peng Xiangwen, Stationmaster Peng, when did our six major forces have such a rule?" Su Hong said coldly.
"This... Young Palace Master, that is a powerful being at the peak of the Chaos Immortal Ancestor realm! You have explained it before..."
"Okay, okay, take me to see what's going on. I'll settle this matter with you later!" Su Hong looked impatient.
Peng Xiangwen's face turned bitter when he heard this. It seemed that he was bound to take the blame. However, Su Hong was right. It would be better to solve the problem as soon as possible. If the problem could be solved, it would be fine. At most he would be fined hundreds of millions of years' salary. If the problem could not be solved, it would be hard to say whether he could save his life.
Then, the group arrived at the teleportation hub, where several dark teleportation formations stood in the center.
Looking at one of the formations with a crack in the center, Su Hong frowned and looked at Liu Yuanbai, the Lord of Changfeng Domain, and said, "Old Liu, can you see if there is any way to repair it?"
Liu Yuanbai twisted his beard with his hands, staring at the teleportation formation with a serious face. After a long while, he shook his head and said, "Young Palace Master, although it is not difficult to repair the broken part of the teleportation formation, this teleportation formation was arranged by Tianyi Ancestor himself. The Dao rhyme contained in it is too profound. If we can find the crux, it will be fine. But in this situation, I am sorry that I am incompetent and I really can't see where the problem lies."
Hearing Liu Yuanbai say this, Peng Xiangwen's heart skipped a beat: "It's over..."
Su Hong frowned even deeper: "Isn't it just a little broken? 30 billion years ago, I saw you repair a transmission channel in person, and the situation seemed to be similar to now. How come you can't repair it this time?"
Liu Yuanbai smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Young Palace Master, you don't know that I have indeed repaired many teleportation formations before, but those teleportation formations were only physically broken due to disrepair, and they only needed to be repaired with the same materials. However, this formation was opened ahead of schedule a few days ago. It stands to reason that although it will not last for hundreds of years like a normal opening, it should still be fine for a few months. Look at this formation again, it has become dim in less than a month, and the core of the formation has completely stopped operating. It is obvious that the foundation has been damaged. How can I, with my little Taoism, talk about repairing it, unless..."
"Unless what?" Su Hong asked quickly.
"Unless there is another Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor Realm cultivator who is proficient in formations to assist me, then I can try to repair this formation." Liu Yuanbai said.
“The Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor realm is already rare, and one must also be proficient in formations. This…” Su Hong looked embarrassed when he heard this.
It's not that he can't find such people, but such people are all seniors, how can he call them and send them away at will? This requires the other party to have time, and by the time he calls for support, I'm afraid it will be too late.
Of course, as the young master of Tianri Palace, he could also seek help from his father or the decision-makers in the palace, but he would never do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Qiongzu Universe Youth Exchange Conference was originally initiated by Su Hong himself in order to prove himself and consolidate his status as the young hall master. If he turned to his father for help when he encountered this setback, how would the people in the hall look at him in the future? Even if this event was successfully held, I'm afraid no one would look up to him anymore.
Just when Su Hong was in distress, a voice like a drake sounded outside: "Brother Peng, I heard that there was a problem with your transmission channel. You are really something. Why didn't you tell me if there was anything wrong? Are you looking down on me?"
Hearing the noise outside, Su Hong was a little annoyed. He said to Peng Xiangwen in a cold voice: "How can you be the stationmaster? The transmission channel was damaged under your supervision, and now any cat or dog dares to make noise outside! This is the transmission hub of the entire Changfeng Domain, the gateway to Changfeng Domain, not a place for you to make friends with cats and dogs!"
Peng Xiangwen felt bitter in his heart. It seemed that this time he was completely finished. But then he thought, "Why should I bear this matter by myself? Since Lu Lang came to me at this time, why not let him help me share the hatred? Humph! Old Lu, why did you come at any other time but at this time? You made me bear the wrath of the Young Palace Master for no reason. Don't blame me, your brother!"
Thinking of this, Peng Xiangwen said innocently: "Young Palace Master, the person outside is not just any cat or dog, that is Lord Lu!"
