On this day, Song Zhong was drinking tea leisurely in the partially built Zichen Palace, while planning his next plan. Suddenly someone outside reported that Zhu Rongtian sent an immortal to find Song Zhong.
Song Zhong hurriedly invited him in to take a look and found that this person was one of the supervisors who sat under Lord Liehuo. He was the one who personally sent Song Zhong to the Eastern Emperor Realm.
Since they were acquaintances, Song Zhong would not neglect him. He would invite them to sit down and drink tea, and then ask about their intention. But the supervisor shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have official duties today, so I won't be able to sit down. Lord Realm Lord, I came to invite you on the order of Lord Liehuo. He asked you to go see him now." .Look, should we leave now?"
When Song Zhong heard that it was Lord Liehuo who invited him, he immediately became serious. Of course he had to give him face, so he immediately said: "Okay, let's leave now!"
After saying that, Song Zhong followed the supervisor outside. On the way, Song Zhong curiously asked: "This fellow Taoist, I don't know what the real Lord asked me to do. What's the important thing?"
"Haha, it's a good thing. You'll know when you go there!" the supervisor said with a polite smile. Although he looked very kind, Song Zhong was like a soft nail. Obviously he did not dare to reveal the affairs of True Lord Liehuo easily.
Song Zhong had no choice but to smile bitterly, then changed the subject and chatted with him for a while.
…
In a short time, the two of them took the teleportation array to Zhu Rongtian, and soon came to Lord Liehuo's office temple again.
The supervisor took Song Zhong directly into the innermost area. At the place where Lord Liehuo entertained Song Zhong last time, Song Zhong saw Lord Liehuo who was waiting for him.
Seeing Song Zhong come in, Lord Liehuo stood up to greet him warmly and welcomed Song Zhong in. After serving refreshments, Lord Liehuo dismissed the other idlers and then asked politely: "How is it? During these times in the immortal world, Is it still passable?”
"Not bad!" Song Zhong said with a smile: "Donghuang Realm is much better than I imagined!"
"Haha, if you can say that, then I feel relieved!" Lord Liehuo smiled happily: "If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. Although my position is not very high, at least in Zhu Rongtian Here, we can still talk!"
"Haha, thank you for your care, senior. If there is any trouble, I will definitely speak up!" Song Zhong said hurriedly and politely.
Seeing that Song Zhong said it sincerely, True Lord Liehuo was very satisfied. He nodded happily, and then said: "That's good!"
Afterwards, Lord Liehuo sighed softly, and then said helplessly: "Hey, do you know the reason why I invited you here this time?"
"Junior doesn't know!" Song Zhong said honestly.
"Actually, I have something to ask for!" True Lord Liehuo said with a sad face.
"Huh?" Song Zhong was stunned when he heard it, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "But I don't know what is so embarrassing for you? If I can help, I will definitely not refuse!"
Song Zhong's words were extremely pertinent, and they were indeed from his heart, and were not meant to be polite. After all, he and Lord Liehuo are the closest now, and they will definitely rely on each other in the future. Moreover, the two of them had very similar temperaments. Song Zhong had a good impression of Lord Liehuo, so he was willing to help him.
Seeing Song Zhong say this, True Lord Liehuo immediately said very happily: "Haha, that's great, actually speaking seriously, you really need to take action to solve this matter!"
"Really? What on earth is going on?" Song Zhong then asked curiously.
"That's it!" True Lord Liehuo lowered his head and said to Song Zhong with a smile: "Xiannephew, do you know about the martial arts competition held once in a century?"
"Martial arts competition? This is really not clear!" Song Zhong immediately shook his head.
"That's it!" Lord Liehuo explained with a smile: "Our heavenly court is constantly fighting against the demons and monsters in the outside world, so we attach great importance to martial arts. In order to encourage the immortals below to step up their cultivation, the heavenly court decided that every hundred years, A martial arts competition was held to gather all the elite soldiers and generals under the five emperors of heaven to compete. Moreover, heaven also allowed wandering folk immortals to participate. One of the reasons for this was to attract folk masters, so as to recruit talents and absorb new blood; The other one is that the five heavenly emperors want to compete in secret! As time goes by, this grand event becomes extremely lively, even no less than the peach feast of the Queen Mother of the West."
"Oh, so that's it!" Song Zhong nodded, and then said: "Then, what's your difficulty?"
"I have to talk about this with my old enemy, Lord Splitting Tiantian!" True Lord Liehuo said helplessly: "The martial arts competition is one of the most important projects of Heavenly Court, and naturally I, Zhu Rongtian, cannot stay out of it. But the gift given by Heavenly Court The number of places is limited, but there are so many people who want to go. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, before each conference, we, Zhu Rongtian, have a small internal competition to decide who will participate in this event."
"In the past, my disciples often represented Zhu Rongtian in martial arts competitions. Although I didn't get a top place, at least I had a bright face. But since I was killed by the Heaven-Splitting Sword in other people's orthodoxy, After the sneak attack by the bastard from the sect, among the disciples of my disciples who have ascended, there have been fewer and fewer disciples who have become weapons. So much so that there is no one who can give me face. On the contrary, the disciples of that old bastard, Lord Split Tian Tian, Each one is more perverted than the other. In the past ten thousand years, he has participated in martial arts competitions one after another, and suppressed my disciples in the three levels of Tianxian, True Immortal and Golden Immortal to the point where they can hardly hold their heads up!" True Lord Liehuo He said angrily: "Tell me, how can I swallow this breath?"
Although True Lord Liehuo still had many things to say, Song Zhong could tell from it that the resentment of True Lord Liehuo towards Lord Split Tiantian was probably not just due to his disciple's defeat. From the relationship between their two families, Song Zhong dared to conclude that Lord Split Heaven would probably ridicule True Lord Liehuo a lot after his victory. Otherwise, this old guy who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years would not be so angry.
However, although Song Zhong knew it in his heart, he did not reveal it with his mouth. He just asked lightly: "What do you mean?"
"I want to ask you to represent me and participate in this martial arts competition!" True Lord Liehuo said bitterly: "Help me severely weaken Lord Split Heaven! How about that?"
"Me? Is this appropriate?" Song Zhong couldn't help but asked in surprise: "After all, I just ascended?"
"It doesn't matter. First of all, you are the master of the Donghuang Realm and belong to me, Zhu Rongtian, so in principle, you are qualified to participate. Secondly, as the true ruler of Zhu Rongtian, I have the right to recommend talents. I can recommend anyone!" Lord Liehuo smiled and said, "So, I'm just waiting for a word from you now!"
"Oh, this?" Hearing this, Song Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, although I am a Golden Immortal, I am only in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. At the level of the Golden Immortal, there should be many people better than me, right? ?”
"Haha, others may be like this, but you are different. The Chaos Giant Spirit Clan is a descendant of Pangu. It is said to be the strongest. It is not a vain reputation. Even a mid-stage Golden Immortal is enough to fight against the guys at the peak of the Golden Immortal. You You don’t have to be humble in front of me!” Lord Liehuo smiled.
"This is not modesty!" Song Zhong smiled bitterly: "I'm really afraid of ruining your business?"
In fact, Song Zhong is lazy and reluctant to fight with others. He doesn't care about the prize, so why bother? After all, this is a grand event in heaven, and all the elites from the immortal world will come. Although Song Zhong is confident, he cannot guarantee a sure win. And the sword has no eyes, maybe he will be plotted in the ring by then!
Lord Liehuo obviously saw Song Zhong's perfunctory intentions, but this was also human nature. Apart from those fighting madmen, who would want to fight with others for nothing? So he wasn't angry.
However, not being angry does not mean that Lord Liehuo has given up. He suddenly laughed evilly and said, "Hey, Song Zhong, do you know what the prize is in the martial arts competition?"
"I don't know, but after all, it is a grand event for Heavenly Court to recruit subordinates, so they must not be stingy!" Song Zhong said lightly.
"Of course!" Lord Liehuo smiled and said: "According to the rules, the first person at the Golden Immortal level can enter the Jade Emperor's treasury and choose three items at will. Those at the other two levels will be reduced by one item in turn!"
"The Jade Emperor's treasure house?" After hearing this, Song Zhong immediately became energetic and asked hurriedly: "What's in it?"
"That's a lot. From flat peaches that ripen once every nine thousand years, to all kinds of ninth-level immortal weapons, there's everything you can find. Only the ones you haven't seen before, and there's nothing that doesn't exist inside!" Lord Liehuo said proudly, "Why? Like? Are you tempted?"
"This~" Song Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "I just want to ask about one thing. Do you have the Xiangzhen Water in the mutton-fat jade neck bottle in the hand of Guanyin in the South China Sea?"
"Of course!" Lord Liehuo then said strangely: "Why do you ask this?"
Song Zhong did not hide anything, and said directly with emotion: "I have two good sisters, who are transformed from the twin lotuses of ice and fire. Back then, I was harmed by an adulterer and was in danger. It was the two of them who sacrificed hundreds of thousands of their own bodies." The Yimu essence accumulated over the years allowed me to become a Chaos Djinn and free myself from the trap of death. But the two of them directly returned to their original form, and it will take me who knows how many years to recover!"
"Ah, is there such a thing?" True Lord Liehuo exclaimed: "These two people have been so kind to you, you have to repay them well!"
"I thought so too, so after I came to the fairy world, the first thing I did was to find out how to restore them. I got a lot of answers, but unfortunately, they were either too slow or had side effects. The only one left A good way is to irrigate them with the innate pure water in the mutton-fat jade-neck bottle, which can completely restore them without any other side effects!" Song Zhong then asked: "I wonder if seniors think this method is feasible? "
"Definitely no problem!" Lord Liehuo immediately said solemnly: "The innate true water in the mutton-fat jade neck bottle has infinite mysteries. Legend has it that it was an innate treasure that existed before Pangu created the world. If it is used to water the ice and fire, Not only can the Twin Lotus be restored, but it is guaranteed that its strength will be further enhanced!"
"I also got such news from others!" Song Zhong then smiled bitterly and said: "But the problem is that the Xiantian True Water in the mutton-fat jade neck bottle is a supreme treasure, and Guanyin will not give it away easily. I am so A small person is not worthy of carrying someone's shoes. She obviously won't give this thing to me for free, right?"
"Hehe, that's natural. Let alone you, even I will definitely not come." True Lord Liehuo said with a smile: "However, the Emperor of Heaven still has some face with Guanyin, so in his treasure house There is the innate pure water in the Guanyin mutton-fat jade neck bottle. If you can win first place, then this thing will be yours!"
"Do I have to participate in the martial arts competition?" Song Zhong said with a depressed look: "I am already tired of fighting in the next competition. I didn't expect that I would continue to fight after I go to heaven. This is really embarrassing. How can I be embarrassed?"
"Haha, it's okay!" True Lord Liehuo patted Song Zhong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The martial arts competition is the face of Heaven after all, so killing and wounding is not allowed. There are high-level immortals watching over every competition. Over the years, There have never been any accidents since you came down. Besides, even if you are seriously injured, with the treatment methods of the immortal family, you will not be permanently injured at all. Otherwise, those immortals who are afraid of death will not take risks. Come and participate in this grand event!”
"Well, if that's the case, then I have no choice but to agree!" Song Zhong then said helplessly: "I don't know if I can succeed, maybe I will be beaten back at the first level. ?”
"Impossible!" Lord Liehuo immediately laughed and said, "I have confidence in you!"
Hearing this, Song Zhong couldn't help but asked curiously, "You've never seen me fight, how come you think so highly of me?"
"Hehe, let me tell you the truth!" Lord Liehuo said proudly: "In the past, people from the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan also appeared. Even if they were only intermediate or even junior Golden Immortals, they could not find the Peak Golden Immortal. To the north, there is almost no defeat!”
"You said 'almost'?" Song Zhong noticed the word keenly, and then asked directly: "Is there still a time to fail?"
"Yes, there are, but very few. They were all careless and fell into the trap of being defeated!" True Lord Liehuo said with a smile: "So, when a martial arts competition is held in the fairy world, as long as the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan participates, it will almost You can definitely take the first place. This will become a rule."
"Ha, if that's the case, wouldn't other immortals have no chance of success?" Song Zhong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can Tianting agree?"
