...
Emperor Yintian's Dynasty, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The inner palace gates slowly opened, and Shangguan Qiuyue immediately knelt down to greet the newcomer: "Welcome Your Majesty as you emerge from seclusion!"
After a month of seclusion, Yu Xiyan, relying on the awakened part of her Ice Phoenix bloodline and the cultivation experience of her previous life, has successfully broken through to the eighth level of the Soul Sea Realm, and is only one step away from the peak.
Yu Xiyan murmured softly, then frowned slightly and asked, "During my absence from court, have any changes occurred?"
Shangguan Qiuyue replied, "Your Majesty, everything in the court is in good order, and no major incidents have occurred."
Yu Xiyan looked up at the sky and asked, "What month is it now?"
"It's mid-October."
"Mid-October?"
Yu Xiyan closed her eyes and carefully recalled what happened during this time period in her past life.
Suddenly, she opened her beautiful eyes slightly: "The Fuxi Abyss, which opens once every ten years, is about to open again. Has our dynasty received any permission to pass through?"
Shangguan Qiuyue said, "The Ancient River Sect has already issued travel permits to various parts of the continent. There are a total of twelve families in this dynasty that are qualified to enter the Fuxi Abyss."
And there is also a request for Your Majesty to decide on the selection of those to enter the country.
"Where's the pass?"
"Inside the Imperial Study."
When the Fuxi Abyss opens, a varying number of pass tokens will emerge from it. Only those who obtain the qualifications can enter to explore and search for treasures.
Yu Xiyan pondered for a moment and said, "This time, I will personally go to the Fuxi Abyss to seek opportunities. I will not be around during this period. Please inform Prime Ministers Fang and Du that they will be responsible for the affairs of the court. For the time being, the affairs of the regent will be handed over to my younger brother Xizhao."
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Qiuyue advised, "The Fuxi Abyss is fraught with danger. It's often said that the world is upside down within, and it's very likely to be transported back to the ancient barbaric era. Why would Your Majesty take such a risk?"
Yu Xiyan: "As the ruler of a country, I must be strong enough. As the saying goes, crisis and opportunity coexist. The Fuxi Abyss is rarely opened, and I don't want to miss this opportunity to strengthen my strength."
Ultimately, Yu Xiyan was still dissatisfied with the progress of her own strength improvement.
At this time in her previous life, Yu Xiyan had already broken through to the third rank of the Profound Void Realm thanks to the Marrow Cleansing Elixir given to her by Shen Zhao, and did not need to go to the Fuxi Abyss.
Because Shen Zhao went in his place and brought a Dragon Essence and an Innate Dao Body, his strength increased by leaps and bounds after he fused with them, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
However, in this life, without Shen Zhao by her side, Yu Xiyan can only go to the Fuxi Abyss.
Yu Xiyan once again deeply felt the importance of Shen Zhao. Without Shen Zhao, she could not handle government affairs or cultivate with complete focus.
"I must not tell anyone about my journey to the Fuxi Abyss. If anyone asks, I will say that I am in seclusion, especially my father and mother."
"I obey your command!"
After Shangguan Qiuyue left, Yu Xiyan sighed silently.
The previous nine incarnations were ultimately protected too well by Shen Zhao, and their path to becoming emperor was unobstructed, so they didn't have to be so exhausted.
For the first time, Yu Xiyan felt how wonderful it was to be cared for and looked after.
...
At the entrance of the Ancient River Sect, Shen Zhao and Ding Bu'er were stopped by the sect's disciples.
"Who dares to come to visit my Guhe Sect? Don't you know what you are like? Get out of here now, or I'll break your legs!"
"Hey, little brother, can you please take a look at this when you're being so arrogant? This is the handwritten note of the chairman of the Public Arbitration Committee. Does the Public Arbitration Committee know about it?"
"What do you mean by 'public arbitrator' or 'female arbitrator'? Get out of here right now, or you'll provoke me!"
"Who did you learn this from? You don't even know about the Public Arbitration Commission? Call your leader here immediately, or I guarantee you'll regret it!"
"screw you!"
Before Ding Bu'er could say anything more, he was kicked to the ground by a disciple of the Guhe Sect.
"With a dead rat tucked into your belt, what are you pretending to be a hunter for? Get the hell out of here right now! Or I'll beat your mother up too!"
Ding Bu'er got up in a disheveled state and walked over to Shen Zhao, who was suppressing a laugh not far away. She immediately said in an annoyed tone, "I told you it was hopeless, but you wouldn't listen."
"See? We can't even get through the main gate, and you think you can get a pass to enter the Fuxi Abyss? Don't dream about it. We'd better think of another way."
Shen Zhao put his arm around his shoulder, leaned close to his head, and said, "Tell me, is the fortune in the Fuxi Abyss worth anything?"
"Isn't that obvious? You could eat a handful of dirt for three years, so tell me it's worth a lot!"
"If it's so valuable, why give it up? Besides, since you're already here, are you willing to just leave like this?"
"I understand the logic, but if you can't even get through the gate, what else can you do but accept it?"
"So how do you say we get in?"
"Why don't we spend some money and send those gatekeepers away with just a few spirit stones? What do you think?"
"Alright, you pay with the spirit stones."
"That won't do. I only earn a few spirit stones a month, so naturally you, Master Chen, should pay for it."
"So here's the problem: I want to get in, but I don't want to pay. What do you suggest?"
"Impossible. The face of the arbitration council is useless. We still have to pay this money. This is just the gate. There are many other places where we will need to spend money once we get inside."
"So, in other words, as the executive officer of this tribunal, not only do I not make any money, but I also have to give money to these bastards, right?"
"Do you understand the ways of the world? If you want to make a lot of money, you have to know how to put in the effort. How can you get things done without spending money?"
"Well, today I'll show you how I can enter the gate of the Ancient River Sect without spending a penny."
After speaking, Shen Zhao patted Ding Bu'er on the shoulder, then turned and walked straight toward the gate of the Ancient River Sect.
"stop!"
I'm talking to you!
