Chapter 156: Tan Tai Qing, a harbinger of the demonic disaster, solving problems
"Among the three guardian families of Tan Tai, He Lian, and Gong Sun, the most outstanding genius of this generation should be the goddess Tan Tai Qing. There is news that she condensed her innate magical power more than half a year ago and entered the sixth realm of magical power. I heard that the Tan Tai family is already preparing materials for her to condense the Dharma image of heaven and earth. I don't know whether it is true or not..."
"If it is true, I am afraid that Goddess Tan Tai Qing will break the record of Feixian Island's Dharma Realm and become the youngest person to reach the Seventh Realm."
"I heard that three months ago, an underground palace ruin was discovered overseas. Even some of the great sects and holy places in Dongyuanzhou came here to seek opportunities. Among them, a young supreme being named Wuwang Shengzi spoke rudely and was shattered by Goddess Tan Tai Qing with a palm. His soul wrapped in a secret treasure and escaped."
"That Saint Wuwang is very famous in Dongyuan Prefecture, and it is hard to find an opponent among his peers. But in the hands of Goddess Tan Tai Qing, he couldn't even withstand a single blow. It's incredible."
Feixian Island is adjacent to Nanmozhou, separated by a canyon and facing each other across the ocean.
In the coastal areas, the waves are rolling all day long and there are reefs everywhere. Merchant ships and large warships traveling back and forth every day may have unexpected accidents.
Therefore, the Elders' Council of Feixian Island would dispatch young disciples from the major families on the island to patrol everywhere.
The Elders' Pavilion is a force jointly established by the three guardian families of Feixian Island. It maintains the order of Feixian Island and has a very long history.
Every fifty years, each family elects a member of the Council of Elders, who is voted on by the residents of the island and other families.
Although this move seems very democratic, the number of nine elders maintained by the Elders' Council will not change.
The three major families each firmly occupy three of the places.
The other families have no right to get involved.
The Tan Tai Qing mentioned by these young monks is none other than the proud daughter of the contemporary Tan Tai family, one of the three guardian families of Feixian Island, and an unattainable goddess in the eyes of countless young men on the island.
Even many young disciples from the other two families were full of admiration for her.
Feixian Island is very large. Although it is called an island, its area is actually comparable to some continents.
Tan Tai leaned forward like a stream of light, passing across the sky and riding a rainbow back from overseas. The scene under his feet changed, and rivers, lakes, swamps and mountains quickly disappeared into the distance.
After getting away from the coastal areas, plains began to appear. It was flat and many cities could be seen. The roads were wide and caravans were coming and going. They were like blood vessels crisscrossing the land, but not densely. Sometimes you had to fly thousands of miles before you could see human habitation.
Finally, Tan Tai Qing landed among a group of majestic and ancient mountains. The clouds and fog here were very thick, covering thousands of miles, and there was some kind of forbidden formation.
As a token on her waist emitted a hazy divine light, the clouds in front dissipated, and the formation that seemed to be the movement of the sun and the moon also rumbled, and a door cracked open.
Outside the portal is another scene, as if it is completely cut off from the outside world, truly isolated from the world.
The clouds are billowing and the colorful mist is lingering. Looking around, there are palaces and pavilions, bronze palaces floating in the void, and islands dotted in the air. They are carried by supreme power and sparkle with amazing divine brilliance, like stars.
This is the ancestral home of the Tantai clan, a small world located in the void that has existed since ancient times. The entire world is filled with a sense of eternal vicissitudes.
"It's Miss Tantai Qing who's back..."
As Tan Tai Qing stepped into the clan territory, several extremely powerful divine thoughts swept over. After noticing that it was her, these divine thoughts quietly retreated.
Soon, several women who looked like maids came to greet them riding divine rainbows.
"Miss, did you gain anything from your trip to the sea this time? What did you discover?"
"I have some clues. What happened in the clan? Why did the elder suddenly send me a message and ask me to hurry back?"
Tan Tai Qing opened her mouth, and her voice was not as cold as her facial expression. Instead, it sounded very gentle, like a spring breeze blowing by, bringing people an indescribable goodwill.
"We don't know either. We just know that in addition to the Tan Tai family, the Helian and Gongsun families are also recalling many clansmen, apparently to discuss important matters." The maid replied.
Tan Tai Qing seemed to have thought of something, nodded and said, "I understand, I will go to the meeting hall now."
After saying this, she turned into a divine rainbow and headed deep into the tribe.
Deep in the small world of the Tan Tai family, palaces stretch out, showing the ancient heritage. However, at this moment, on the tallest mountain, the atmosphere seems very solemn.
The hall was empty, with purple mist floating around, accompanied by spiritual mist.
Many elders of the Tan Tai family, who had an ancient aura and were dressed in long robes, gathered there. The head of the Tan Tai family, who had taken the position of head of the family because of his daughter's status, was also there.
In addition, there are many young members of the Tantai family who are talented and powerful.
"Qing'er is back?"
"It seems that this time when you went to explore the outer sea, you had good fortune and your cultivation became much stronger."
With the arrival of Tan Tai Qing, all the elders looked at her, showing gentleness and appreciation.
Many people were even amazed and felt that they could not fully understand Tan Tai Qing's cultivation strength.
The faces of the young clansmen in the hall were full of respect and admiration, and they admired Tan Tai Qing immensely.
The reason is very simple. Among the three guardian families on Feixian Island today, Tan Tai Qing is an absolute young legend, overwhelms his peers.
No matter whether it was the young disciples of the same clan or the geniuses of the other two families, none of them could be defeated by a single palm of hers.
All the elders of the Tan Tai family unanimously believed that she would surpass their ancestors in the future and lead the Tan Tai family to a more glorious state.
"Qing'er has met his father and all the elders..."
"This time I went overseas to investigate the anomalies of heaven and earth, and indeed gained some unexpected gains. My cultivation has increased slightly."
Tan Tai Qing always had a gentle and appropriate smile on his face as he bowed to everyone one by one. Even when facing the other young tribesmen, he smiled and showed his friendliness.
"Qing'er, you don't have to be so polite. If I knew you had other luck overseas, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to call you back."
"But since you're back, I have to talk to you about this matter. After all, this is a joint decision of the Elders' Council, and we have no right to interfere." The elders waved their hands.
"What's the matter? Please tell me, Elder." Tan Tai Qing said with a confused look.
"I believe that when you went overseas to explore the strange phenomena in heaven and earth, you also noticed that some ferocious beasts in the deep sea areas have much more violent tempers and are more bloodthirsty than before." One of the elders said.
Tan Tai Qing nodded and said, "That's true. On the way back to Feixian Island, many ferocious beasts that never appeared in the past appeared in the coastal area and attacked the merchant ships passing by."
"I suspect something may have appeared on the seabed..."
Another elder said, "That's right. The Elders' Pavilion used a secret treasure to investigate and found that there was a suspected leak of demonic energy on the seabed. It was the leaked demonic energy that infected and corroded the ferocious beasts, causing them to become more brutal and bloodthirsty than before."
"That's not a good sign."
Although they had expected this, the young tribesmen in the hall couldn't help but look heavy-hearted when they heard these words.
As a family of guardians, they have been exposed to the world since childhood and know how cruel and bloodthirsty the demons are, and how terrifying the demonic energy is.
Even the slightest bit of it will cause a drastic change in the temperament of a creature.
If those rivers, lakes, land and mountains are infected by evil spirits and turned into evil soil, they will lose their spirituality and breed violent and terrifying creatures, slaughtering all parties and causing chaos in the world.
In order to stop the demonic disaster, the land of Kyushu paid an unknown price. The number of lives lost alone was in the billions.
"The Elders' Pavilion suspected that the seal under the Demonic Abyss had loosened or broken, and they have been trying to find a way to repair it in the past few days. Therefore, they decided to recall the young clansmen of the major families and form a patrol team to patrol back and forth outside the Demonic Abyss. If they see any demonic energy leaking, they will be able to discover it immediately..."
"Qing'er, your strength is unique among the younger generations of the three major families. No one can match you, so the Elders' Pavilion pays close attention to you and wants you to serve as a role model and lead everyone."
Having said this, all the elders turned their eyes to Tan Tai Qing.
Hearing this, Tan Tai Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Qing'er understands. I will definitely live up to the high expectations and respect of the elders and do a good job on this matter."
Many elders showed their satisfaction, and the young tribesmen in the hall were full of admiration and respect.
"If there is nothing else, Qing'er will take his leave first. He will rush to the Demon Abyss the next day to discuss this matter with the other disciples." Tan Tai Qing said.
"Qing'er has just returned from overseas. She must be exhausted from the journey. It's time for her to have a good rest."
The elders nodded and did not let her stay for long.
Tan Tai Qing bowed and then turned and left.
Soon after she left the hall, the rest of the young tribesmen also left, and the smiles on the faces of several elders also disappeared.
One of them snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "I knew that the Helian family had bad intentions. If they hadn't suddenly proposed to let Qing'er set an example, why would the Elders' Pavilion let Qing'er take risks?"
"If the demonic energy is really leaked, what can they do with their youth? They are obviously forcing Qing'er to set an example because they know that she will not let this happen. They want to put Qing'er in danger."
"The Helian family is as despicable as ever, trying every possible way to destroy Qing'er."
"Human hearts are like this. Back then, the Helian family and my Tantai family often intermarried and had a harmonious relationship. But ever since the incident with Helian Wen, the Helian family has developed a dark and jealous mood, wishing that Qing'er would be destroyed..."
"Let's not talk about this matter. So many years have passed. At the beginning, Helian Wen of the Helian family was at least a genius as famous as Qing'er. The two of them were childhood sweethearts and were engaged. They were in love with each other. If Helian Wen hadn't committed suicide by stealing the holy object from the forbidden area of the Elders' Pavilion, how could he have fallen into the devil's abyss and died?"
"Humph, the Helian family is just jealous of Qing'er's increasing success and the possibility that she might surpass their ancestors. Until now, they have refused to admit that Helian Wen stole the holy object. Even with the elders of the Elders' Pavilion witnessing it, they still tried to make excuses."
"Helian Wen deserved to die. It was not worth Qing'er's heartbreak for him at all."
…
"As expected, he is the candidate who is expected to compete with Emperor Xia for the throne. His luck is truly amazing. He has achieved such success in just a few months. Not only has he recruited many experts, but he has also established the Tiandi Alliance under Shang Mingyu's Mingyu Chamber of Commerce."
"It seems that they are planning to compete with the Naxian League founded by Emperor Xia? However, Shang Mingyu is indeed very capable. With his maneuvers, he even managed to get people from Xiling Prefecture to intervene."
"Is she planning to gather the power of all states and gather their luck to help Qi Qingxuan grow? Or is she just trying to refine her treasure?"
In Fengcheng Palace, Jiang Lan used the energy of the country extracted from the energy of the Son of Heaven and the great destiny technique to pay attention to the movements of the Sixth Prince Qi Qingxuan during this period.
Compared to that time, Qi Qingxuan's luck has now snowballed and increased by more than dozens of times.
As Queen Xia took control of the world as the empress and married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, some of the fortune that originally belonged to her was somehow transferred to Qi Qingxuan.
Once one sits on the throne of emperor, one will not instantly be blessed with good fortunes of the dragon and the country.
When the people are loyal, the country will naturally prosper.
The same is true for the emperor. If he cannot intimidate his ministers and win the hearts of the people, and the world is against him, he may eventually suffer a backlash.
The method of Yunchao is different from the ordinary method of cultivation.
The strength and prosperity of a country depends not only on its powerful national strength, but also on the loyalty and approval of its people.
Now that Emperor Xia is in charge of the empire, things may seem stable, but in fact, there are undercurrents. In the court, countless ministers are dissatisfied, and the same is true in the counties and cities across the country.
Although it was a first for a woman to be an emperor, she also faced unprecedented challenges.
However, if Emperor Xia can solve these problems one by one, her cultivation strength will be elevated to a terrifying level.
Jiang Lan himself had no interest in being the emperor for this reason. With Emperor Xia to bear the backlash and consequences, he could get the benefits for free, so why not do it?
"This Aspiration Ball on Shang Mingyu is actually a good thing. She is already plotting to take over the Emperor's Temple..."
"Among them are many inherited treasures such as the 36 righteous laws of the Zhoutian, the Heavenly Book of the State, and the Kunwu Immortal Boat left by the ancient emperor."
"The key to the Jieyin Tianzi Temple lies in the six pieces of tortoise shells. One is in the royal treasury, and one is in the hands of the national teacher Ge Qixing. In the original plot, Lin Fan got two pieces, and Xiao Teng got one by chance..."
"With this treasure in hand, you can take advantage of the situation and deduce where various opportunities and fortunes will appear. You will gain many benefits in the upcoming great changes in the world."
Jiang Lan has always coveted this treasure, but unfortunately, the last time Shang Mingyu appeared in the imperial capital, he was unable to seize it openly.
Shang Mingyu is very smart. He is hiding in the dark and will not show up easily. If he wants to get this treasure, he will have to spend more time and effort.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan took out the communication jade talisman and told Ye Shiyan some things. Her identity as a member of the demon clan would be of great use in the future.
The last time I contacted her was before the Southern Hunting Exercise. I provided her with delicious food and drinks every day, and also provided her with magic crystals for her practice. It’s time to let her do something useful.
Jiang Lan was sorting out the many plans for the future, and she felt that she had a long way to go and there was still a lot to do.
He rubbed his brows, feeling overwhelmed. There were many things to do, but unfortunately there were very few people who could be used by him. He had to do most of the things himself.
"You'er, go to the Merchant Alliance and get some things for me..."
Jiang Lan suddenly gave an order, and at the same time, turned the thing he wanted to take into a message and transmitted it into You'er's sea of consciousness.
You'er responded, and the whole person turned into a faint shadow and disappeared into the void.
She is becoming more and more adept at using the talents of the Phantom Clan.
During dinner, Emperor Xia, holding a white cat in his arms, told Jiang Lan the information that Xia Jin had obtained after investigation.
There have indeed been some strange phenomena in the heaven and earth on Feixian Island recently, which might be unusual movements from the Demon Abyss.
She plans to send some people over.
Jiang Lan had expected this, but he didn't say anything.
Then Queen Xia talked about the counterfeit Dragon Suppression Seal. She had already given up any hope of taking the Dragon Suppression Seal back from the Blood Immortal Sect.
Now she doesn't even know where the Blood Immortal Cult's lair is. If she is forced into a corner, the Blood Immortal Cult will directly release this news, which will have a great impact on her current situation.
Now that the Blood Immortal Cult no longer intends to use this matter to threaten her, her attitude will be more moderate.
She also felt that her position was somewhat uncomfortable and she needed to devote a lot of energy to dealing with internal and external affairs.
Unless she really intends to be a puppet of the Prime Minister's Mansion and leave all matters to the Prime Minister's Mansion to handle.
So from now on, in this great world, will she be recognized as the master, or will the Xiangguo Mansion be recognized as the master? So Jiang Lan continued to give her advice.
Although Emperor Xia did not intend to continue secretly sending people to take back the Dragon Seal, how could he easily take back the sword hanging over her head? He still hoped to use this handle to control her.
So Jiang Lan comforted Queen Xia, telling her not to be so hesitant and to be more decisive and direct.
The Blood Fairy Cult had gone so far as to take away her Dragon Suppression Seal, causing her to sleep unsteadily. How could they let them go so easily? Seeing her show weakness, the Blood Fairy Cult would only become more rampant, thinking that she was easy to bully.
After hearing his "comfort", Emperor Xia clenched his fists immediately. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry he felt. Then he glanced at him coldly, thinking that he was just trying to irritate him.
Jiang Lan took the opportunity to comfort her helplessly, saying that he would help her share some of the energy for the things in the Demon Abyss. That should be okay, right? Hearing this, Emperor Xia agreed immediately, fearing that he would regret it later.
Jiang Lan looked like he had no idea what to do with her.
Throughout the entire dinner, Emperor Xia looked as if he had gotten an advantage and was in a good mood.
The next day, a huge flying boat landed with the merchant alliance's cargo convoy coming to the imperial capital. In a courtyard building that had been prepared long ago, Jiang Lan met the group of followers he had requested.
