Chapter 469: First Visit to the Imperial City
Daxia Palace.
Emperor Xia and the four great sect leaders were feeling restless. It was neither right for them to sit nor stand. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation in all the meetings they had attended.
Lu Yang sat in the position of the leader of the Wendao Sect, and Yun Zhi stood behind Lu Yang, looking like a subordinate.
Yunzhi is standing, who dares to sit?
The immortal fairy dares.
After all, the person invited to the meeting was the acting leader of the Wendao Sect, and the Immortal Fairy was the acting leader.
She is the leader of the five ancient immortals, so what's wrong with sitting here? Not to mention sitting here, even sitting on the throne is normal.
Lu Yang, who stayed in the spiritual space, was not as bold as the Immortal Fairy.
As the largest and most prosperous city in the Central Continent and a hub of power, the Imperial Capital has always attracted countless immortal cultivators.
Lu Yang was no exception. He was obsessed with the imperial capital and wanted to take a walk around the capital to see the different spiritual practice scenes.
But he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Originally, he thought he would enter the imperial capital in a low-key manner, but his unintentional behavior led him to passively enter into a conspiracy. After solving the conspiracy, he found himself in the vortex of political struggle, fighting for power and the throne. He was able to get along with both sides and use his wisdom to protect himself in the vortex. In the end, his deeds alarmed Emperor Xia.
When he went to court to meet the emperor, the enemy kept chattering about him, saying that he was this and that, and that he was plotting a rebellion, and slandering him. Emperor Xia waved his hand, looked at the enemy meaningfully, and said that he was a disciple of the Taoist Master Bu Yu, and there was no possibility that he would rebel. The enemy was shocked, the ministers were shocked, and the practitioners in the imperial capital were shocked.
It is natural for him to become famous.
This is normal process.
I didn't expect that I would skip the whole process and come to the palace to meet Emperor Xia.
"Friend Yun, please sit down." Emperor Xia smiled apologetically.
Yun Zhi shook her head and refused: "I am just an ordinary disciple of the Wendao Sect now. How can I be qualified to sit here? This Sect Master Lu is the acting Sect Master of our Wendao Sect."
Emperor Xia: “…”
What an ordinary disciple of the Wendao Sect.
"Is this Sect Master Lu the Lu Yang mentioned in the meeting half a month ago?" Emperor Xia asked knowingly. Half a month ago, it was mentioned that the Tianting Sect was founded by a man named Lu Yang, who was a very outstanding young talent.
He didn't expect that half a month later, the young talent had already reached the level of being on par with him.
Lu Yang secretly observed Emperor Xia in the spiritual space. This emperor of the world and leader of the righteous path was not as murderous and decisive as rumored, nor was he as literary as a scholar. He had gray hair on his temples and his cheeks were slightly sunken, which were the manifestations of insufficient Qi and blood and lack of energy.
If one does not know his identity, no one would be able to tell that this Emperor Xia is known as the greatest emperor of all time.
Perhaps the previous Emperor Xia had both a solemn and literary aura, but now, after his short lifespan, he is no longer as glorious as before.
"You know Emperor Xia, and you also know Sect Leader Qiu." Before the meeting, the eldest senior sister introduced Lu Yang and also introduced him to the Immortal Fairy.
"This is Daoist Fellow Luo Hongxialuo, the Palace Master of Yuegui Fairy Palace and Lan Ting's master. She even brought Lan Ting to propose marriage before."
Luo Hongxia's eyes twitched. She really didn't go to propose marriage last time.
She saw that Lu Yang was fair and clean-looking. This boy was the Lu Yang that Lan Ting had been thinking about, but he didn't look as good as Lan Ting described.
When she thought about how Lan Ting had come back from the Qingzhou ceremony and described with great excitement how great Lu Yang was, she became furious.
She snorted coldly and didn't give Lu Yang a good look.
"You look so ugly, did you eat something wrong?"
"This is the leader of the Prison-Suppressing Sect, Yang Ding."
"Hello." Yang Ding had no hostility towards Lu Yang.
Although Lu Yang is the disciple of the Silent Taoist, he is also Yun Zhi's junior brother. The positive and negative cancel each other out, so there is no hostility.
"This is the Hanging Temple's master of abstinence from killing. He is currently practicing the silent meditation." The eldest sister introduced the only person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in the audience.
Master Jiesha's body was dry, and the cassock that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Hanging Temple seemed loose on him. His eyelids drooped, he held Buddhist beads in his hands, and nodded without saying a word.
The Immortal Fairy was slightly surprised. It was the first time she had seen a Buddhist monk. She didn't expect that the Buddhism created by the five fairies would actually allow later generations to cultivate something and even make some innovations on this basis.
The wisdom of later generations should not be underestimated and is no less than hers.
The Immortal Fairy frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yang asked.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Someone is spying here. He must be the master of the power of national destiny." The Immortal Fairy has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. After all, she is someone who can track the five ancient immortals.
Lu Yang understood that it must be the immortals from the imperial court who were paying attention to this place, which was normal.
Just as Emperor Xia was about to speak, the eldest senior sister spoke first: "After I returned to the sect, I visited many seniors. One of the knowledgeable seniors pointed out a method that can break through the lifespan limit and extend lifespan."
"What method?" The other people returned to the sect but had not found a way to help Emperor Xia solve his predicament.
"In ancient times, there was a spiritual root of heaven and earth, a peach tree. Eating peaches can prolong one's lifespan, but this spiritual root of heaven and earth can run away. Now, no one knows where it has gone."
"Is this really true?!" Several people were moved. They had never heard of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It turned out that the Taoist sect really had terrifying foundation.
"I'll send someone to look for it." Emperor Xia was the first to calm himself down. There was no point in being anxious about this matter. Whether he could find it depended on fate.
He talked about another important thing: "The plan of the Dayu monk in Jizhou has been discovered. The Taoist Buyu of your sect was the first to discover the Dayu plan. In order to save the people of Liming, he joined the game and broke the rules of the Dayu Tribulation Period with a sword. He fought with the Dayu Tribulation Period, fought wits and courage with the opponent, and sent out a signal, persisting until the arrival of Palace Master Chen Tao and the Immortal Sect, and finally helped Palace Master Chen Tao capture the Dayu Tribulation Period."
"This action drew a lot of cheers. Palace Master Chen Tao and the elders of the Immortal Sect praised Taoist Buyu's behavior and admired him very much. They wanted to commend him. Taoist Buyu gave up fame and honor and retired. Everyone looked for him several times but couldn't find him."
Everyone present had strange expressions on their faces. They had all listened to the elders' report on the affairs of Dingxin City in Jizhou. This seemed to be somewhat different from what the elders had reported?
"Who wrote this report?" Qiu Jinan was puzzled. Did the Taoist spy infiltrate the court? This made Taoist Buyu exaggerate to the sky.
Emperor Xia said with a gloomy face: "The folk storytelling "Legend of the Taoist Sect"."
Qiu Jinan: “…”
Everyone looked at Lu Yang and Yun Zhi. The meaning was very clear. Buyu Daoren is your man, spreading rumors and causing trouble all day long. What do you think we should do?
The Immortal Fairy was so smart. Facing this situation, she brought out Yun Zhi's words: "I am the acting sect leader appointed by the sect leader. I cannot control the sect leader."
"so?"
"So I can write a letter to suggest that the suzerain abdicate and let me be the suzerain, so that I can take charge of him."
