Chapter 405: Heaven's Secret Method, I found you!
"You may not believe it, but what I said is not false."
Emperor Qizhi clapped his hands, and soon waiters came, bringing not dishes but books and placing them in front of the people.
The title of the book is "The Book of Emperor Xia", which should be a compilation of the deeds of Wang Mang and others within the Xia Dynasty.
"You may wish to take a look at its contents, especially the part about the founding of the Xia Dynasty."
Emperor Qizhi said with a smile.
Pei Qingyan opened the book as he was told and saw the circled part on the marked page.
[When the Xia Dynasty was founded, there was an immortal looking down from the sky, attracting the attention of the people. During this time, many people recovered from serious illnesses and were regarded as immortals.]
There are many similar passages in "Records of Emperor Xia", all of which are talking about an immortal who remains nameless.
Of course, in this era, auspicious signs are just common. Let alone the revival of heaven and earth, even before the revival of heaven and earth, people dare to create a series of strange visions and auspicious signs.
Whether this thing can be used as evidence is probably a matter of opinion.
The Xia Dynasty was established for 150 years. Where can we find people from that era to ask questions now?
It is nothing more than word of mouth and written records.
There are so many vague and deliberately beautified parts in the content that it is better not to believe it at all.
I understand the principle, but you have to explain to me why the thousand-year-old golden Guimu has no spiritual energy, so how do you refine it?
That was the main material of the Sky Crossing Flying Boat, something that even the most famous weapon refiners would have a headache with! However, Emperor Xia had brought out all the "evidence", and if he continued to dwell on this issue, it would inevitably seem a bit too aggressive.
It would be fine if it was just his family and no one could compete with them, but there was a foundation-building group from the Wanfa Alliance next to them, so it was not good to force them too much.
Pei Qingyan smiled and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that he is really a strange man wandering in the mortal world. It's a pity that I have no chance to meet such a strange man. It's really a pity.
If a person with such a natural talent were to appear in this world, I wonder how many waves he would stir up. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he would lead the world for half a century."
This is said sincerely.
The person who was able to refine the thousand-year-old golden jade wood by himself and penetrate the formation must have unfathomable attainments in the art of formation.
Such a person can stand on his own even in the nine major immortal sects and is by no means an ordinary person.
If not for this, he wouldn't have given Xia Chao so much face.
"It is a great fortune for the Xia Dynasty to be favored by him. But the Xia Dynasty cannot always rely on the legacy of its ancestors. It must also keep up with the development of the times."
Emperor Qizhi raised the wine cup in his hand again and said, "Today I am meeting with all the immortal masters to ask for your guidance. If the Xia Dynasty has been negligent in any way, I hope you will forgive me."
After the third glass of wine, both the host and the guests were naturally happy.
Emperor Qizhi returned to the dragon throne again. Soon, a charming dancer walked in to the sound of long and delicate music.
It was not until this time that there was finally some banquet atmosphere here.
Of course, it was just a banquet. After all, this was the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty and the place for court meetings. Unfair things were not allowed to happen and everyone was very well behaved.
No one took the opportunity to attack the Xia Dynasty, so for Emperor Qizhi, half of the task was already accomplished.
This means that the immortal masters in front of them believe that Xia Chao is indeed qualified to negotiate with them at the same table.
As for the real, more detailed interests that need to be argued for, they will naturally not be discussed openly.
This is also a good thing for the Xia Dynasty.
You can compare prices from three different sects and finally choose the one that is most beneficial to the Xia Dynasty.
The world is bustling with people seeking profit, and the world is bustling with people seeking profit.
This is true for the mundane world, so why not for the immortal world?
When the moon reached its zenith, the banquet ended successfully.
Naturally, someone took these practitioners downstairs to rest.
After returning to his room, Si Mingguan closed the door. Although he reeked of alcohol, he was not drunk at all.
"Brother, this Emperor Xia is not honest! He seems to have said something, but in fact he said nothing. He even showed us a history book he wrote. Does he think we are three-year-old children?"
As soon as he returned to the room, the white-robed monk couldn't wait to speak.
At the banquet, he had no right to interrupt his senior brother, and he had been holding it in for a long time. Now he could finally let it all out.
"What do you want him to say? Bring out the man behind Xia Chao to meet us?"
Si Mingguan glared at his junior fellow apprentice.
This silly child is still brooding over the formation that made him a little timid. He has been thinking about it for so long. It can be said that he has no future and is not worth cultivating.
I'll just throw him to someone else to avoid being a burden to myself.
"But, for a mortal dynasty, it's not like he can just do whatever he wants, right?"
The white-robed monk said something incoherent.
"It doesn't matter whether what he said is true or false, and it doesn't matter whether there is a master behind him or not."
Si Mingguan shrugged slightly and said rather impolitely: "Is this the important thing now? It's the formation! The thousand-year-old golden jade wood is real, and the formation that you and I couldn't resist before is also real, isn't that enough?
"Why do you care whether the man behind Xia Chao is dead or alive? What good will it do you if you find out? What if he is really not to be provoked and his life is lost halfway through?"
He scolded her in a stern voice.
Instead, it made the white-robed monk shrink his head.
He was just very dissatisfied and wanted to vent his anger on the Xia Dynasty.
As for the consequences of venting one's anger, or even what to do if something goes wrong, one never thought about it.
In other words, he really thought of himself as an immortal master.
It is natural for practitioners to look down on ordinary people.
Even Xia Chao, who is also a cultivator, is still in his contempt chain.
"You have to understand clearly. We are staying in Xia Dynasty not for those precious treasures, nor for someone behind Xia Dynasty, but because of Xia Dynasty's formation, and for Senior Brother Liu who is coming here!"
Si Mingguan looked at him dimly and said in a cold voice: "Find out what is the real business, don't mess around, don't disturb the overall situation. If Senior Brother Liu is happy, you and I may be appreciated. How to make Senior Brother Liu happy is what you should think about, instead of worrying about whether there is someone behind Xia Chao and whether you can vent your anger!"
Among all nations, harmony is the most precious.
It's all about business.
Business is not just about visible things, but also about invisible favors. Personal connections are also power, and a considerable power.
Being able to get to know the formation-crazy disciple well would not be exchanged for ten spiritual treasures from the Xia Dynasty. Most of the spiritual treasures obtained did not belong to them anyway.
But the relationship with the formation-crazy disciple is a real personal relationship, which even affects future promotions.
It would be foolish to still worry about the weight of the Xia Dynasty at this time.
Abbreviated as "greenhorn".
If it weren't for the Wanfa League's tradition of old people guiding new people, such a brainless newcomer would really affect his performance.
"My senior brother taught me a lesson."
The white-robed monk lowered his head in shame, "Thank you for your advice."
"Um."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Si Mingguan nodded and warned, "This is just one time, it won't happen again. For cultivators like me, if we want to climb up step by step, personal talent is certainly important. But if we don't understand the overall situation and the importance of things, we will only be at the bottom of the society for the rest of our lives.
Now that the lock has been unlocked, we have the opportunity to take a step forward. This is the time to demonstrate our abilities, but we must not let our own likes and dislikes hinder our future."
"I see."
The white-robed monk nodded repeatedly and took note of it in his heart. This kind of valuable advice is not something you can hear easily.
And another place.
In the room, Pei Qingyan showed a hint of a smile, "Master Jishi? As long as he exists, there will be traces."
After the nine immortal sects, Xuantian Sect and Tianji Sect have close ties.
Unlike other immortal sects, the Tianji Sect has very few disciples and its rules are relatively not that strict, but it is an extremely important force in the world of immortal cultivation.
Because what the Tianji Sect is best at is sensing the secrets of heaven, looking into the sky and observing the earth.
If he could even detect the secrets of heaven, how much more so a living person?
Although he was only a disciple of Xuantian Sect and not an official member of Tianji Sect, he naturally learned a little bit of the true meaning.
However, truly peeping into the secrets of heaven is too difficult and obscure. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage cannot even think about it. On the contrary, they may be attacked back by the secrets of heaven, encountering a catastrophe and experiencing a life worse than death.
But it is not difficult for him to pry into people's secrets.
A compass appeared in Pei Qingyan's hand. At this time, he clasped his hands together, and mysterious rays of light quickly sank into the compass.
If you really look for someone based on the words "Ji Shi Zhenren", you will definitely not find him.
But it's not that there is no other way, you can explore it in a different way.
For example, looking for the person with the highest cultivation level within a radius of 100 miles.
This place is the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty. The area within a radius of one hundred miles is already very large.
As long as there is someone behind the Xia Dynasty, I think it will not leave this range.
His cultivation has reached the foundation-building stage. As long as the person is not more than one major realm higher than him, or has a secret method specifically targeting the Tianji Sect, they cannot escape his secret technique.
Whether it is true or not, we will know it after a try! When the spiritual light condensed into complex patterns and imprinted on the compass, a very special wave, so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, rippled out from the compass as the center.
This secret method is extremely secretive. In order to avoid disturbing those with keen spiritual awareness, the speed is extremely slow and gentle, so as to avoid really provoking the existence that should not be provoked.
If the sky lock had not just been opened and this place was not some immortal gate, Pei Qingyan would not have dared to use it at will.
"Tomorrow morning, we will know who is the master behind Xia Chao."
Pei Qingyan smiled slightly.
Want to deceive the immortals?
You also have to see how much you are worth first.
The next day, the sky was bright.
Pei Qingyan walked out of the room, declined the offer from the Yulongwei to follow him, and said that he just wanted to take a leisurely walk.
As a foundation-building cultivator, if these people from the Xia Dynasty really wanted to follow him, they would be asking for trouble.
However, Emperor Xia was quite smart. After he left the arranged inn, no one followed him.
He made a hand gesture and created an illusion, making it difficult for ordinary people to see him.
Then he took out a compass from his arms, and saw a clear arrow on the compass, pointing in a direction.
That direction is not where the Xia Dynasty palace is located.
Pei Qingyan smiled and asked, "Do you know what the Tianji Sect's secret method is?"
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine! Pei Qingyan walked forward according to the guidance of the arrow on the compass, and each step he took covered a short distance.
Soon, he arrived at the gate of a small courtyard, which was of course closed.
The arrow became brighter and brighter, almost turning into a beam of light.
This proved that the person he was looking for, the person with the highest cultivation level in the Xia Dynasty, was in this small courtyard without a sign hanging on it.
"I found you."
Pei Qingyan pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard without any hesitation, and saw at a glance a willow tree that was growing very well. The tree was swaying gracefully, with green branches hanging down like a long emerald staircase. The almost misty spiritual energy lingered around the willow branches, like mist, which was beautiful beyond words and full of fairy spirit.
Not far from the willow tree is a stone table.
At this moment, the person sitting on the stool next to the stone table was staring at him as he pushed open the courtyard door.
The two looked at each other, but Pei Qingyan's heart tightened! Phew, I'll hurry up and add another chapter after I come back, and ask for monthly tickets!
