After sealing the Heaven-Covering Flag back into the formation to exchange for the Haotian Mirror and returning it to the Jade Emperor, Qi Wuhuo spent a period of peaceful time. During this period, he practiced breathing every day, using the power of the lotus seeds to mobilize his own Qi.
In addition, I would discuss scriptures and doctrines with my senior brothers, or go to Daluo to pay homage to the teacher.
In my spare time, I travel around with Yunqin.
However, he was still a little thin-skinned about this matter. Moreover, in order to avoid irritating Yun Zhiyi, he mostly avoided people's eyes and went out alone. After sending the Heaven-Covering Flag back, Qi Wuhuo lost the means to effectively kill the strong men at the Yu Zun level.
Although I didn't say it, I naturally felt a sense of urgency in my heart.
He practiced every day, but he never insisted on it. As time went by, in order to repay the Taoist, Yunqin said that she wanted to weave a battle robe for Qi Wuhuo. In the past few days, he practiced sword and discussed Taoism. In his spare time, he went to his mother, the Weaver Girl, to ask for advice on the magical power of weaving clouds and moonlight.
She has rarely been seen in recent days.
Qi Wuhuo had heard of this before. It seemed that the generals under the command of Zhenwu Mansion were having some conflicts and frictions with the immortals and gods from other departments because of their popularity and fame. Fortunately, Lao Huangniu had a wide network of contacts and many means to deal with them.
For these things, the old ox is helpless——
Although the Heavenly Palace is large, there are also many immortals and gods.
Interests, benefits, power and authority are all fixed. After a long period of conflict and adjustment, how much power and benefits each person has are fixed. In other words, the profits are divided well, and naturally everyone is happy and lives in harmony.
Now a huge force has suddenly emerged.
They were naturally wary of each other. Those old forces were naturally wary of the Zhenwu Mansion and had some instinctive dislike for it. Although they maintained harmony on the surface and respected the reputation of the Zhenwu Demon Emperor, they had been restraining themselves for a long time, and it was inevitable that one day they would lose control and friction would arise.
Secondly, the True Lords and Heavenly Lords above are said to be harmonious with each other.
However, conflicts over authority are inevitable among ordinary immortals and heavenly soldiers and generals.
As time goes by, things accumulate slowly. In an environment that has been stable for such a long period of time, a big force suddenly rises. This kind of thing is inevitable. According to Lao Niu, either they can suppress it for hundreds of years by relying on the name of Zhenwu **Demon, or they will experience some friction and conflict over time, and the friction and conflict will become smaller and less, and slowly it will stabilize.
These are two different paths.
Time passed slowly, and the day when the Three Pure Ones' Dharma Assembly would be held was getting closer and closer.
On this day, Qi Wuhuo was sitting in the Zhenwu Mansion, breathing in and out, feeling the power of the Lord swirling in his palms. Gradually he began to comprehend. Suddenly, a voice came from outside. The Taoist opened his eyes and clenched his five fingers. The golden lotus seed naturally dissipated and disappeared in his palm. Qi Wuhuo looked towards the door.
He stood up and went to open the door.
When Qi Wuhuo pushed open the door, Lao Huangniu walked to the door and was about to raise his hand to knock on it. Everything happened naturally and just right.
Lao Niu paused, feeling that this was a good opportunity, but he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was better for the Taoist to come out, and it would save him the effort of knocking on the door. He was just worried about whether he would disturb Qi Wuhuo's practice, but now it was better. He held something in his hand and said:
"Wuhuo, is this convenient for you?"
"There is a letter."
Qi Wuhuo looked at the letter, or rather, it would be more accurate to call it a jade talisman.
The jade talisman is like a sword, and is green in color.
There are golden words engraved on it, and one can faintly see thunder running on it, which is masculine and righteous, causing ripples to appear in the surrounding void. One can also hear the roaring sound of thunder. There is no need to say much, just this kind of scene has proved the origin of this jade talisman.
The strongest being under the command of the Antarctic Eternal Emperor.
The Lord of the Thunder Department, the Great Emperor Leizu, the Nine-Heavenly Thunder Lord.
Old Ox is well-informed and has heard some news that ordinary immortals and gods have never heard of.
Naturally, he knew that the jade talisman came here with bad intentions. Qi Wuhuo took the talisman with a slightly gloomy expression on his face. Lao Niu asked, "What did the Thunder Ancestor Emperor say?"
Qi Wuhuo took the talisman and said calmly, "He invited me to the Thunder Department for a chat."
When Lao Niu heard this, his brows immediately frowned.
"This, going to the Thunder Department, is not appropriate."
"Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun is very powerful and is under the command of the Southern Pole Chang Sheng Great Emperor. He suddenly invited you over. I always feel that there is something fishy going on. Why don't you..."
Qi Wuhuo thought for a moment and said, "Go."
"Since Thunder God has invited me, it would be too rude if I don't go."
Since Qi Wuhuo had agreed, Lao Huangniu had no choice but to think about it and feel relieved. Firstly, Leisheng Puhua Tianzun had invited him openly and honestly, so Qi Wuhuo could not be trapped there. Secondly, although Leisheng Puhua Tianzun was strong, Zhenwu **mo had also killed the Heavenly God of War of Justice, so he might not be weaker than him.
Thinking of this, I felt much more at ease.
Although it sounded quite reassuring, Old Yellow Ox was still cautious. He went to find the heavenly soldiers and generals of Zhenwu Palace and prepared the scale of Zhenwu Emperor's trip. The heavenly soldiers and generals led the way, strange beasts pulled them, and they flew on clouds and mist, with auspicious aura, and went to the Thunder Department in a grand manner. Many immortals and gods around saw it and knew that Zhenwu was going to keep the appointment. Only now did Old Yellow Ox feel completely at ease.
I watched Qi Wuhuo, dressed in a black robe and with his hair tied up with a jade crown, walk into the Thunder Department.
…
Jiu Tian Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Pu Hua Tian Zun was standing in front of the Thunder Pool of the Thunder Department with his hands behind his back, looking at the thunders running and colliding in the thunder pool, erupting with a loud and dull sound, rolling and dispersing in all directions, lasting for a long time. Such a scene could never be seen in other places, the momentum was extremely huge and vast.
It is enough to shake a person's spirit out of his body.
However, Thunder God was watching the thunder rolling in the thunder pool with a dazed look on his face.
The situation is not good.
Thunder God of Universal Transformation sighed.
There is a feeling of a heavy pressure coming down, falling on my shoulders.
In fact, he did not want to confront the Zhenwu Demon Emperor at all, and was unwilling to face this god of war who had hacked and killed his way up to him. However, in the current situation, on the Beidi side, the Huoyao Emperor was the most powerful figure second only to the Zhenwu Emperor in arrogance, and the Beidi's son seemed to be outstanding as well.
Although the Zhenwu Demon Emperor has left the Arctic system, he still controls the power to kill the stars.
In addition, Tianpeng Great True Lord, who is the number one killer in the six realms, is in charge of the Exorcism Court, sweeping the four directions. Although the North Pole Ziwei Emperor is not here, the situation is looking good and prosperous. Even if one day, the North Emperor and the South Pole Changsheng Emperor kill Fuxi and return, they will be worthy of the North Emperor.
But I can't do that here——
Not to mention the absence of the Great Emperor Huoyao from the Dou Department and the extraordinary existence of the Zhenwu Demon.
Emperor Zhuling disappeared.
After searching for several times, they still couldn't find it. In the end, even the Sky-Flying Eagle didn't know where it had been trapped and couldn't be found. After a while, not to mention Zhu Ling himself, even the Fire Department, one of the four upper departments that was very important to the plan of the Emperor of the Longevity of the South Pole, was out of control.
The Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder God is alone and cannot support the country.
He felt more and more troubled. He was loyal to the Southern Emperor Changsheng, so he could only try to mobilize the Fire Department again on the one hand, and on the other hand he wanted to test the Zhenwu Demon. As far as he knew, the Zhenwu Demon had a conflict with the Northern Emperor Ziwei in the past, and had never accepted the Northern Emperor's edict.
"Perhaps, I can..."
"Even if we can't get Him to change the entrance hall, we can at least try his methods."
While he was thinking, Thunder God felt the movement outside - the Zhenwu Demon Emperor had arrived. He restrained his emotions, and the feeling of carrying a heavy burden inside, took a deep breath, turned around, and strode out with a rough and calm brow.
"Please invite Zhenwu to the lobby. I will be there soon."
…
The Thunder God was quite polite to the Great Emperor Zhenwu. He led the way and entertained him without fail. He served him fairy tea and snacks, all of which were top-quality. There was also a small episode. When the fairy tea was served, a small storage magic weapon was also served along with the tea and snacks.
It was filled with the Emperor's money.
However, some gods such as Thunder God and Lightning Goddess looked uneasy and reported, "The Emperor may not remember me. When the Emperor was very powerful... No, when the Emperor was traveling in the human world, he once came to Jinzhou. At that time, there was a problem with the earth veins in Jinzhou, and the Emperor ordered us to go there to make clouds and rain."
"I was a little greedy that day, so I accepted the Emperor's money."
"After I came back, I deeply felt the emperor's compassionate heart for saving people from suffering. I deeply regretted what I did to my little god and his wife. I have always wanted to meet the emperor again and return the money I gave you. I also ask you to be magnanimous and forgive me, please forgive me."
These gods of thunder were passing through Jinzhou when Qi Wuhuo was on his way to the demon clan territory. At that time, the ground veins in Jinzhou had not yet recovered and were extremely dry and cracked, so crops could not grow. Qi Wuhuo asked the gods of thunder to make it rain, and spent a lot of money from the Emperor of Heaven.
But I would have never expected that after so many years, the gods of Thunder, Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, are still talking about it and have never forgotten it.
Qi Wuhuo looked at the storage magic weapon.
The amount of Emperor's money inside was more than ten times what he had given out that day!
More precious jades, spiritual materials, and many elixirs.
Lei Gong and Dian Mu looked apologetic and said with a flattering smile, "All the things the Emperor gave me back then are here. I have kept them well over the years and have not spent a cent. Take a look, are these the ones?"
Even the gods of thunder, who are half-immortals and have talents of earthly immortals, wield power and control the clouds and rain. In the eyes of mortals on earth, they are free and unrestrained gods, but they are also afraid of power and strength, and afraid of being blamed by the gods they offended that day. It seems that although the gods seem to be free, they are ultimately trapped.
It seems free and easy, but it is far from being free and easy.
Qi Wuhuo felt emotional.
He put down the teacup and said, "Back then, you two controlled the clouds and rain and saved the lives of the people in Jinzhou. I am very grateful for your kindness, but there is no need for me to do this." He held the storage magic weapon in his hand and gave it a slight push. The magic weapon emitted a stream of light and floated gently in the void in front of Lei Gong and Dian Mu.
Lei Gong and Dian Mu seemed to have not expected such a sudden change, and their faces showed some surprise.
He then held the storage magic weapon in his hand, hesitating for a moment, feeling a little uneasy.
It seemed that this ten times of the Emperor's money, as well as many spiritual materials and treasures, were too hot to hold in his hands. He had to give them away to feel at ease. For a moment, he could neither leave nor stay. But at this moment, a loud laugh came from outside, saying:
"Since it was given by the Great Emperor Zhenwu **Demon, you two should keep it!"
"What kind of thing is this?!"
Hearing this voice, Lei Gong and Dian Mu seemed to have found their backbone and calmed down. They bowed to Qi Wuhuo again and then left. Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly and saw a tall man striding towards the door. He was very old, but his brows were still sharp. He was wearing ink-colored armor and a battle robe, and there seemed to be endless and powerful power in his body. Whenever he walked, there was thunder following him.
The ruler of thunder.
The Great Emperor Leizu!
Qi Wuhuo stood up and bowed slightly: "Thunderous Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable..."
Thunder God of Universal Transformation waved his hand and asked the rest of the Doubu immortals to disperse.
He strode over, laughing loudly, in a very heroic state, and said:
"Emperor Zhenwu, I have long wanted to meet you, but I have always been busy with my duties and rarely have time. Today we meet, it is really a hero in youth. When I was in your time, I just relied on my natural upbringing and had an emperor rank. The gap between me and you now is extremely huge."
"Come, come, come and drink here!"
He called over beautiful fairies, all holding precious dishes, and invited Qi Wuhuo to the best place in the Thunder Department to drink and enjoy the view. They talked and laughed in a relaxed and carefree manner. However, after the greetings and three rounds of drinks, the Thunder Department Lord, who was famous in the heavens, held the wine, looked at the heavens in front of him, and said:
"Emperor Zhenwu, are you curious about why I invited you here today?"
Qi Wuhuo said calmly: "If the Thunder God wants to speak, I will listen."
"If Thunder God of Universal Transformation won't tell you, then let's drink."
But he kicked the ball back.
Thunderous Universal Heavenly Venerable laughed loudly and said, "I was not straightforward enough, I deserve to be punished, I deserve to be punished!"
He drank from his glass with a heroic look, then looked at the Taoist priest with a smile on his face, and said:
"The Great Emperor Zhenwu is magnanimous, so I will not hide it..."
His voice paused, and the smile on his face faded. He became more solemn and serious. He stared at the Taoist in front of him and said a sentence that was enough to move every peak Great Grade Master -
"Emperor Zhenwu, do you want to ascend the throne?"
