Beizhou, Hanshui Palace.
Han Lingshuang was looking at the golden invitation in front of her, lost in thought.
In front of her, several capable men were also looking at the invitation.
"Palace Master, what do you think the three people from the Holy Mountain want to do by holding this holy meeting?"
Finally, a young man couldn't help but speak.
“What else could it be? Due to the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, every time we open the entrance to the four secret places, we have to consume a lot of spiritual energy.
Therefore, one cannot enter or leave the secret realm at will, and spends most of his time recuperating in the secret place.
Therefore, for nearly a thousand years, the entire world has been under the control of the Holy Mountain.
Today, the world is changing, and the world situation has changed drastically. The Holy Mountain’s control over the entire world has long been beyond its capacity and is now in name only.
This time, the Holy Assembly was held, presumably to establish rules again and regain control of the world."
Another woman analyzed.
"But is this possible?" Someone asked doubtfully, "Now is not a thousand years ago. The rules of heaven and earth suppress it. Except for our four secret places and the holy mountain, other warriors cannot break the limit. At most, they can only practice to the realm of innate perfection.
According to reports from people below, thunder has been heard from time to time throughout the world in the past year.
I believe that many powerful people who have been suppressed by heaven and earth for a long time have already survived the thunder tribulation and entered the Golden Core Realm.
Even though the three people from the Holy Mountain have entered the Golden Core Realm, their true bodies cannot leave the Holy Mountain.
I'm afraid it's impossible to regain control of the world again."
"Yes, that's right. What are those three thinking? This is not a wise move." Someone nodded in agreement.
The three holy masters of the Holy Mountain cannot leave the Holy Mountain in their true bodies. Although not many people know about this, it is not an absolute secret.
Especially the four secret places, they have known about this for a long time.
After all, more than a thousand years ago, three powerful men who were even able to break through limitations suddenly appeared. How could they not attract their attention?
Over the past thousand years, the three Holy Lords have never taken the initiative to reveal that they cannot leave the Holy Mountain.
But there are many smart people in the world, and various clues have made many people guess.
However, before the heaven and earth revive, even if the three saints do not show their real bodies, they can still sweep the world with just their puppet bodies.
That is why all the sects in the world recognize the status of the holy mountain.
But now the world situation has changed, so they are really not optimistic about the outcome of the holy meeting convened by the three.
Who knows, it’s possible that the holy mountain might be in danger as a result.
"Okay, don't worry about what those three people from the Holy Mountain think. The key now is whether our Hanshui Palace will participate in this holy meeting."
At this time, a middle-aged man interrupted the conversation and said directly.
The others suddenly fell silent.
Yes, everything else is just a small matter. The difficult problem facing them now is whether or not they, the Hanshui Palace, should attend this holy meeting.
Everyone looked at Han Lingshuang.
As the palace master, the final decision on this matter still lies with her.
Han Lingshuang did not interrupt the previous discussion.
She had been looking at the invitation and thinking for a long time, and finally raised her head: "We at Hanshui Palace will go to this Holy Meeting, and I will go there in person."
"Palace Master!"
When the others heard this, they were shocked.
“Palace Master, you can’t do that. You are about to pass the tribulation, and the most important thing is to practice in seclusion and prepare for the tribulation.
I can lead the team to attend the Holy Meeting, why do you need to go there in person?"
The middle-aged man urged urgently.
"That's right, we can go there, Palace Master, you should practice more."
Several others also advised.
"You won't be able to calm the situation." Han Lingshuang shook his head. "This Holy Conference is bound to be turbulent. I'm afraid that many sects and forces are trying their best to show their strength and compete for interests at the Holy Conference.
Although we at Hanshui Palace have no intention of quarreling with others, we cannot weaken our reputation.
Otherwise, if we show weakness, I'm afraid there will be countless forces that will want to bite us off.
Therefore, I am the only one who can go to this holy meeting. Your strength is still a little lacking."
"But Palace Master, your practice..."
"My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. It will be difficult to improve it if I continue to retreat.
Unless one can survive the thunder tribulation and achieve the golden elixir, one can make further progress.
But although I have been working on myself recently, I still haven't felt the opportunity for a breakthrough.
But when I received this invitation, I suddenly felt something in my heart.
I can sense that my chance to enter the Golden Core Realm may come from this Holy Meeting."
Han Lingshuang's gaze fell on the invitation in front of him again.
I feel a little strange.
This was also the reason why she had been staring at the invitation just now.
She was somewhat curious as to why her chance to break through to the Golden Core stage would come at this holy gathering.
Could it be that some opportunity is waiting for me on the other side of the Holy Mountain?
"The opportunity for a breakthrough?"
When the others heard this, they were suddenly at a loss for words.
If this is true, then the Palace Master really has to do it this time.
As practitioners, they all know that an opportunity for a breakthrough is hard to come by.
If you miss it, you don’t know how long you have to wait to catch it again.
"In that case, we are willing to follow the Palace Master and go to the Holy City to participate in this Holy Meeting."
Since persuasion is impossible, everyone can only express their attitude.
Han Lingshuang nodded: "Alright, you can go and see how many heroes have emerged in the world after the revival of the world."
…
The envoys sent by the Holy Mountain continued to visit many sects and submit invitations.
The news about the holy meeting gradually spread to all provinces in the world, becoming the most anticipated event since the revival of heaven and earth.
After learning about this, countless practitioners set out to rush to Zhongzhou.
Even if they didn't receive an invitation, they didn't want to miss such a grand event.
Even Cang County, far away in Cangzhou, had heard such news.
"The Holy Mountain is going to hold a holy meeting in the Holy City? Such a grand event, I really hope to be there in person and experience it for myself."
In the county magistrate's mansion, Yan Canghai looked at the secret letter in his hand with amazement in his eyes.
But he knew that this was impossible.
As the head of a county, he cannot leave his jurisdiction at will.
Although his father has lifted the ban on him because of the last incident, he can return to the capital at any time.
But Yan Canghai is not a fool, so how could he leave Cang County at this time?
After witnessing Lu Qing's magical powers, he deeply realized that the man was many times more powerful than he had ever imagined.
Cang County is the closest place to Jiuli Village. The Wei family, who has a close relationship with Lu Qing, also lives in the county.
In addition, his good friend Lin Zhirui is also familiar with Lu Qing.
With such an opportunity so close to him, how could he not want to seize it?
So no matter what, he couldn't leave Cang County and return to the royal capital.
"I don't know if that person will receive an invitation from the Holy Mountain. And I don't know where Zhirui has traveled recently. Otherwise, I can ask him about the situation."
Just as Yan Canghai was thinking, a figure appeared outside the study.
"Sir, Shadow Guard No. 1 has something to report!"
"Go ahead." Yan Canghai was still reading the secret letter, without raising his head.
This shadow guard is an elite member trained by him personally, and is specifically responsible for gathering information for him.
"Just now, several messengers in white entered the county town and headed for the Wei family. Judging from their attire, they should be the messengers from the Holy Mountain that have been making the rounds all over the world recently." Shadow Guard No. 1 replied.
"What did you say?"
Yan Canghai stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.
"Mr. Envoy, you are not kidding, are you?"
In the Wei family, Chief Steward Wei was also shocked, looking in disbelief at the white-robed messengers in front of him who had an unpredictable aura and whom he could not see through at all.
Just now, these people came to visit and took out a golden invitation, saying that the Holy Mountain invited their Wei family to go to the Holy City to attend the Holy Meeting.
Of course, Chief Steward Wei knew about the holy meeting that had been widely talked about recently.
But he never expected that their Wei family would also receive an invitation.
So for a moment, he felt at a loss, and could not believe that the scene before him was real.
"Of course I'm not joking." The leading white-robed envoy said solemnly, "This invitation is stamped with the magic power of the three Holy Lords themselves, how can it be fake?
As long as Chief Steward Wei presents this to your master, they will be able to tell the difference."
Chief Steward Wei took the invitation in a daze.
When I opened it, I saw three marks inside that exuded a mysterious aura.
Although we cannot be sure whether it is true or not, we know that it is not something that can be forged at will.
"Don't worry, envoy. When the master of the family comes back, I will present it to him as soon as possible." Chief Steward Wei said seriously.
The white-robed messenger smiled upon hearing this and said, "That's great. We have important matters to attend to, so we won't disturb you any more. I'll take my leave now."
"Your Excellency the Envoy, will you not stay for dinner? The wine and food are ready." Chief Steward Wei said hurriedly.
"No need to bother."
As the words fell, the figures of several messengers in white slowly disappeared.
Seeing the other party's unfathomable methods, Wei Da Zongguan felt even more awed.
He did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to prepare the horses. Then he took a few guards and rushed to Jiuli Village with the golden invitation in his arms.
When Wei Shanhai and others in the villa of Jiuli Village saw the invitation, they were also shocked.
He immediately brought the invitation to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain and asked to see the old doctor.
"Doctor Chen, do you think this invitation is real or fake?"
In the yard, the old doctor was looking at the golden invitation, but Wei Shanhai felt a little nervous.
He never thought that Shengshan would send a special invitation to their Wei family.
No matter how you think about it, the Wei family does not have the qualifications.
So the first thing he did was to suspect that the invitation was fake.
However, the three marks on the invitation were indeed mysterious, so he was not sure.
"These three marks were indeed left by three Jindan realm masters."
The old doctor looked at the invitation for a while and nodded.
"In other words, this invitation is real?" Wei Shanhai stared.
"It should be correct." said the old doctor.
He had seen the Third Saint Lord in Zhongzhou. Although it was only a puppet body, the power and aura of one of the three marks on it came from the same source as the Third Saint Lord.
Moreover, the Wei family is just a small family. There is no way they are qualified to allow three Jindan realm masters to join forces to deceive them.
"But why? How can a small Wei family like us deserve such an invitation from the Holy Mountain?"
After getting the old doctor's affirmation, Wei Shanhai became even more incredulous.
However, the old doctor just looked at him with a smile.
Wei Shanhai felt the old doctor's gaze and was stunned at first, but then an idea flashed in his mind.
"Doctor Chen, has the Holy Mountain sent an invitation to you and Mr. Lu?"
Logically speaking, the old doctor and Lu Qing are both powerful Jindan realm masters, and the people that the Holy Mountain should invite the most are them, the master and the disciple.
"I didn't receive the invitation, but Ah Qing did, and he and Zhirui had already gone to Zhongzhou in advance."
"So Young Master Lu went to Zhongzhou?" Wei Shanhai suddenly realized.
A while ago, Lu Qing sent Xiaoyan and Xiaoli to the villa, and then said he had to go out for something. It turned out that he was going to Zhongzhou with Lin Zhirui.
Lu Qing and Lin Zhirui went to Zhongzhou, but their Wei family received an invitation from the Holy Mountain...
For a moment, Wei Shanhai keenly felt that there seemed to be some connection between them.
The old doctor saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't think too much. Since Shengshan sent an invitation to your Wei family, there must be a reason for it.
If you are willing, you might as well go and broaden your horizons.
If you are late, you may miss this grand event."
After hearing what the old doctor said, Wei Shanhai was immediately moved.
If they were alone, it would be a bit difficult for them to go to Zhongzhou.
After all, the outside world is not peaceful at the moment, and Zhongzhou is full of powerful people and masters.
It is obvious to everyone that this holy meeting held on the Holy Mountain will surely cause unimaginable turmoil.
With their thin arms and legs, they might just be the innocent ones that get affected at any time.
But if Lu Qing was also in Zhongzhou, it would be different.
"Doctor Chen, aren't you going?" Wei Shanhai asked.
"I like quietness, so I won't join in the fun." The old doctor shook his head, "Besides, Jiuli Village also needs someone to watch over it, so you guys should go."
Wei Shanhai looked at the precious medicinal herbs outside the courtyard halfway up the mountain and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, and nodded.
Nowadays, Jiuli Village can be called a paradise for immortals. If you take anything out casually, it will probably cause fights among warriors outside. It really needs someone to guard it.
"Then I'll go back and think about it carefully."
Wei Shanhai left the small courtyard halfway up the mountain and returned to the villa.
After some thought, he finally decided to go to Zhongzhou to attend this event.
Of course, besides the fact that Lu Qing was also in Zhongzhou, he felt he had someone to rely on.
More importantly, his cultivation has been stagnant at the level of innate perfection for a long time.
But he still couldn't sense that opportunity for a breakthrough.
For this purpose, he consulted Lu Qing and the old doctor several times.
As a result, even after receiving guidance, he still couldn't break through that barrier.
This made Wei Shanhai feel desperate for a time, and he even thought that he might stop at the innate realm in this life.
But now, the invitation sent by the Holy Mountain made him feel a little touched.
This grand event will surely attract many powerful people from all over the world to participate.
The scene at that time will surely be unimaginably vast.
Perhaps, he could find his own opportunity for a breakthrough from it?
