Chapter 400 Return to Beijing
The sudden resignation of the Imperial Master was absolutely unexpected for the Emperor.
He was stunned on the spot, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he said in astonishment:
"Why...?"
Qing Pingzi certainly couldn't publicize the crimes committed by his sect's disciples, so he just said in a mysterious way:
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The cause and effect involved in Cang Rong will be arranged by our Tianxuan Sect."
"What do you mean, Taoist priest?" The emperor was worried.
Qingpingzi smiled slightly and gestured to the side:
"Cang Qi is my personal disciple. If Your Majesty does not mind, he can take over the position of the Imperial Master."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed his worry into joy:
"That's great!"
The emperor was well aware of the importance of the disciples directly taught by the sect leader in these secluded sects. Moreover, it was the sect leader himself who sent his disciples to be the imperial master, which was a rare opportunity.
He was overjoyed and immediately issued an edict to ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony and pay homage to the imperial teacher.
The news spread quickly, and the people who were most shocked were undoubtedly the Queen and the Crown Prince.
The former Imperial Master, Taoist Cang Rong, was a close confidant of the Queen and the Crown Prince. But this time he left the Imperial Capital and did not return for a long time. When there was news again, he had resigned!
The two of them couldn't sit still, and immediately tried to find a way to meet the new national master who was about to take office.
But after making inquiries from various sources, he learned that the two Taoist priests were in a state of fasting and abstinence, and refused to see visitors before the ceremony of conferring the title of National Master. He had no choice but to hold back and wait for another opportunity.
Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Zirui was upset and asked:
"Is there still no news from Captain Yan? When can we meet the person from Tianming Pavilion?"
The confidant said hurriedly:
"Your Highness, please calm down. I have sent someone to keep an eye on the Tianming Pavilion every day. The Pavilion Master has indeed not been here in recent days, and the daily rounds of divination have all stopped."
"But I have also heard from a few people who drew the talisman that there is a rumor within the Tianming Pavilion. The Pavilion Master has sent a message a few days ago that he will be back within ten days."
"It will take another ten days..." Xiao Zirui frowned, suppressed his anger, but was still very annoyed, "The Regent is safe and sound and will be returning to the Imperial Capital soon. The Pavilion Master had better not keep me waiting too long!"
Another thing that made him depressed was that within two days, Nanyu sent another message saying that the Regent had appeared safely and was continuing the diplomatic mission in an orderly manner.
"Your Highness, there is more good news!" The confidant said hurriedly, "There is confirmed news that Master Jingyuan will be able to return to Beijing within seven days and will give lectures at the Fahua Temple!"
"Really!" Xiao Zirui finally heard a piece of good news, and slapped the table and said, "That's great! Master Jingyuan will only give a lecture once every 20 to 30 years. Father will definitely bring the royal family and officials to listen to the Dharma! The Regent and the Princess will also be there!"
"In front of Master Jingyuan, I want to see how Yun Qingqing will seize the spiritual object that originally belonged to Tian Feng!"
"This time, she will pay the price for her actions!"
…
…
On the tenth day, after Yun Qingqing came out of seclusion, she received Zhiluo's message.
After Nan Yu finished his mission, the delegation set off back to the capital. Zhiluo had the teleportation talisman left by Yun Qingqing in her hand, and had secretly sent Xiao Changheng back to the capital.
In Zhiluo's message, there was also some news related to the capital sent from the Tianming Pavilion in the capital, including that the national master had stepped down, the emperor was going to appoint a new national master, and Master Jingyuan would be returning soon, etc.
Yun Qingqing knew that she had been out for a long time, so she took Chu Jingyan, whose injuries had almost recovered, and said goodbye to Ji Wujiang.
"My Lord...when will you come back after this departure?" Ji Wujiang knew that she would leave sooner or later, but he still felt melancholy at this moment.
Yun Qingqing smiled calmly and threw him a scroll:
"You ask the elders to set up the formation. If you need any help in the future, just send someone to the Imperial Capital to find me at any time."
Ji Wujiang picked up the scroll and opened it, his eyes immediately lit up:
"This is... a fixed-point teleportation array!"
But he suddenly hesitated and said:
"My Lord, in fact, fixed-point teleportation formations have always been recorded in the ancient books of various sects, but they cannot be used because of the depletion of spiritual energy and the changes in the world over the past two thousand years. If your formation is..."
Yun Qingqing understood what he meant and said calmly:
"Don't worry, this is not an ancient formation. I improved it during my retreat these few days. It is specially prepared for the current spiritual environment. I will set up the other end in Tianming Pavilion after I return. You will know whether it is useful or not when you try it."
Ji Wujiang was overjoyed:
"As expected of you, my Lord! I will arrange it immediately!"
Yun Qingqing was about to leave after explaining almost everything she needed to say, when Ji Wujiang suddenly said:
"Master, will you attend the next Xuanmen Conference?"
"Xuanmen Conference?" Yun Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "Tell me in detail."
According to Ji Wujiang's explanation, she learned that the Xuanmen Conference was organized by the Xuanmeng and was held every five years. Its main purpose was for the various sects to exchange ideas and learn from each other, but in reality it was a venue for each sect to take the opportunity to demonstrate their strength and become famous.
After each Xuanmen Conference, there would often be some changes in the ranking of the various sects, which would directly affect the allocation of cultivation resources for the next five years.
Apart from the secret competition between the major sects, for other small and medium sects, the main purpose is to gain knowledge. There are also many small sects who are satisfied as long as they can get a chance to participate.
After all, only those who are qualified to attend the conference can be considered formal members of the Xuan League, and there are many blessed places in the cultivation world that are only open to the Xuan League.
Yun Qingqing nodded after hearing this:
"I see. If you have nothing else to do, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
