Gu Jiu and Shen Qin lived in the Human King Palace for nearly half a month.
The spiritual energy in the Human King Palace is very rich. The spiritual energy here is so strong that it is almost condensed. Practicing here for one day can be equivalent to ten days or half a month outside.
Therefore, the Palace of the Human King is the most coveted holy place for spiritual practice by human spiritual practitioners.
Every year, the Palace of the Human King opens up one thousand places as a reward, allowing outstanding spiritual practitioners among the human race to come and practice for a month.
These outstanding spiritual practitioners are all recommended by various cities. Only after undergoing comprehensive assessment by the spiritual practitioners sent by the Palace of the Human King can they enter the Palace of the Human King to practice and receive guidance from the Human King.
It is a rare honor.
Not long after Gu Jiu and his companions arrived, it was the day when each city sent their spiritual practitioners to the Human King Palace to practice.
A thousand spiritual cultivators are not a large number, just like a drop of water flowing into the Palace of the Human King.
The human race reveres the Palace of the Human King and treats it as the race's holy temple. As long as the Human King speaks, they will obey.
When Gu Jiu was in the Human King Palace, he met several spiritual cultivators who came in from outside.
At first, these spiritual cultivators regarded her as a maid of the Human King Palace, and they were inevitably a bit arrogant. It was not until the steward of the Human King Palace came to find her that those spiritual cultivators' faces turned green.
After watching Gu Jiu leave, someone asked quietly, "Chief Steward, isn't she... a maid in the Palace of the Human King?"
The chief steward looked surprised, "Who told you she was a maid?"
It can't be said that they habitually think so, right? A person without any spiritual power fluctuation can appear in the Palace of the Human King. Isn't she just a maidservant in the Palace of the Human King
Several spiritual practitioners thought to themselves that they were too embarrassed to explain this to the chief steward as he would think they were self-righteous.
"She is a distinguished guest of His Majesty the Human King." The chief minister was afraid that these young people might offend the distinguished guest, so he decided to give them some advice.
"Distinguished guest?" Several people were shocked. "Isn't she a mortal..."
Although the Human King Palace is a holy place for human cultivation, not all the servants in the palace are spiritual practitioners. There are also some mortals who are not good at cultivation. Although mortals cannot cultivate, they are bathed in the spiritual energy of the Human King Palace every day, and their lifespan is longer than that of ordinary people. Therefore, many powerful people in many families like to send some descendants who cannot cultivate to the Human King Palace as servants.
Although it is a job of serving people, it also depends on the object. If the person you serve is His Majesty the King of Man, it is a supreme honor.
From this we can see the human race’s respect for the Human King.
The chief steward showed sympathy on his face, "Don't let your eyes deceive you. She is a strong person recognized by His Majesty the Human King. She has reached the state of returning to nature and can control her spiritual power freely."
Those who have no spiritual energy fluctuations are not mortals.
Several spiritual practitioners looked at him in amazement.
The chief steward nodded calmly, "This is what His Majesty the Human King said personally."
Since it was said by His Majesty the Human King, it must be true.
The spiritual practitioners looked at each other with shame on their faces. It was the first time that their pride as spiritual practitioners was hit, and it also made them learn to be humble.
When they met Gu Jiu again, these spiritual practitioners bowed to her with great respect and apologized to her sincerely.
It was just a verbal negligence, and because the general manager came too quickly, these spiritual practitioners didn't do anything, so Gu Jiu didn't care.
Seeing her friendly demeanor, some spiritual practitioners boldly asked Gu Jiu for advice on the way of cultivation.
Gu Jiu did not refuse and generously guided them in their practice.
She can even give guidance to players, so giving guidance to these spiritual practitioners is no problem at all.
While the Human King was healing, after hearing about this, he looked at the gods next to him and felt more and more regretful.
Even if the other party is the son of God, they don't want to sacrifice a human strongman. What's the good of marriage
Shenqin lowered his eyelids slightly. After finishing today's treatment, he did not stay for long. He turned around and left, his white robe sliding around the corner of the palace.
The Human King looked at his back, which was leaving even more hastily than before, and couldn't help but smile.
“Young people nowadays…”
The chief steward glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty, if you do not agree to this marriage..."
"What does it matter whether I agree or not?" The Human King said calmly, "One of them is the Son of God, and the other is a Void Realm expert. The right to choose is in their hands, not in anyone else's."
In this world, everything is decided by the strong, and the rules are also made to accommodate the strong.
**
Many spiritual practitioners gathered in the square of the Human King Palace.
All the spiritual practitioners stared intently at the female practitioner standing in the center, who was practicing a set of sword techniques.
The sword technique is round and harmonious, with its own uniqueness. Each move can be controlled and released freely. It seems flexible and weak but is actually very strong. It seems strong and easy but is actually as gentle as water. Each move and each style integrates the natural universe.
Profound and mysterious, the Tao follows nature.
Every spiritual practitioner wishes to have an extra pair of eyes, and would not blink even until their eyes are sore.
They watched with fascination, wanting to imprint the figure dancing with the sword in the center of the square in their minds.
Gu Jiu put away his sword, looked at the spiritual practitioners outside the field, smiled sweetly, and asked, "Did you see everything clearly?"
The spiritual practitioners present, whether male or female, all blushed at her smile. They grunted a few times and mustered up the courage to ask, "Can you practice it again?"
Gu Jiu had a good temper and practiced it with them again.
This time, the spiritual practitioners still looked at it clearly and seriously, and it was unclear whether they were looking at the sword or the person.
Only the gods looked gloomy.
After Gu Jiu finished rehearsing again, he walked forward.
Seeing him, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You are done."
Shen Qin hummed, and in front of all the spiritual practitioners, he held her hand, lowered his eyes, and said in a clear and cold voice: "I'm tired."
Gu Jiu still felt sorry for him, so he turned to the group of spiritual practitioners and said, "That's all for today, you can figure it out on your own. If you have any questions, come and ask me tomorrow."
The spiritual practitioners responded respectfully.
Shenqin's good mood, which had originally been due to her accommodating him, fell into disarray again.
He was pulled by Gu Jiu back to the resting place. He still looked cold and abstinent. In short, he looked unhappy.
"What's the matter?" Gu Jiu asked with a smile, "Did someone make you feel bad?"
Shen Qin pursed his lips and said softly, "Nothing."
Gu Jiu understood him so well. He said it was nothing, but actually it was something. If she ignored him, he would keep it in his heart, and he would feel more and more uncomfortable, and in the end, she would be the one who felt distressed.
Under her questioning, he finally answered honestly.
Gu Jiu: “…” He is indeed a jealous person who even eats this kind of vinegar.
Seeing her looking at him speechlessly, Shenqin turned his face away in embarrassment. He was extremely concerned, but did not want to be seen by her, and even wanted to shrink himself.
The little fur ball in the spirit beast's bag was influenced by him and finally woke up from its coma.
It wanted to crawl out of the spirit beast bag, but was blocked by a seal of the gods. It was so angry that it scratched the spirit beast bag.
"Okay, since you don't like me getting too close to them, I'll stay away from them in the future." Gu Jiu said softly, "It's only a few days anyway."
Shenqin's mood finally improved. He nodded softly and decided to speed up the treatment and leave here quickly to avoid more and more humans snatching people from him.
He was aware of the Human King's attitude and did not approve of this marriage.
Over the next few days, the Human King clearly felt that Shenqin's healing speed had increased, and it seemed as if there was no limit to the amount of divine magic he was showering on him.
The gods' magic has limits on usage. Although Shen Qin has good talent, he is still young and not as strong as the God King. He cannot use the magic without limits every day.
But judging by the calm look on his face, it seemed that this intensity did not cause him much trouble.
The Human King had some understanding of why the God Clan had chosen the Son of God so early on. With the divine arts that Shen Qin controlled, his future achievements were foreseeable. He would definitely become a God King with powerful divine arts.
He was even more against this marriage, fearing that the gods would be reluctant to see such an outstanding son of God being taken away by humans.
Alas, I don’t know what will happen in the future.
On the day when the treatment ended, Shenqin's calm expression showed a hint of joy.
The Human King knew that he couldn't wait to leave, so he didn't keep them. He said to Gu Jiu, "Miss Gu, please come to the Human King Palace when you have time. You are always welcome in the Human King Palace."
Gu Jiu thanked him.
After leaving the Palace of the Human King, it was still the Zhang family who came to see them off.
Zhang Jinwei followed them out of the city and asked cheerfully, "Miss Gu, where do you want to go?"
The human race's territory is adjacent to the blood clan, ghost clan, and god clan, and has been harassed by the ghost clan and blood clan for many years. The last time Xiyuan Town was massacred by the blood clan and ghost clan was an example.
Because the events in Xiyuan Town were too serious, the Human King personally ordered a thorough investigation. Within a few days, everything was clear, and letters of accountability were issued to both the Ghost Clan and the Blood Clan.
It is said that the human spiritual practitioners who went to the two tribes have not returned yet, and it is unknown how the negotiations are going.
Shen Qin said: "Why not go to the northwest."
Zhang Jinwei looked fully understood.
The northwest direction is the border between the human race and the Gods, and it is also a relatively stable place in the human race. Because of the arrogant character of the Gods, they disdain to contact other races. As long as you don't provoke the Gods, the Gods will live their own lives behind closed doors and rarely conflict with other races.
But this does not mean that the gods are easy to talk to. Once the gods become angry and transform into violent gods of war, none of the five races can withstand the wrath of the gods.
So there was nothing to worry about, and the five tribes all decisively chose to avoid the gods.
Gu Jiu had also studied the territories of the six tribes on the God-created Continent, so he knew where the northwest direction was.
She glanced at him with a half-smile and said, "No."
Shen Qin said "oh" with a calm expression, but his tone of disappointment could not be concealed.
Gu Jiu said: "Let's go to the Northeast first."
The northeast is the border between the human race and the vampire race, and the southwest is the border between the human race and the ghost race.
Shenqin quickly cheered up. Whether going to the northeast or the southwest, he could go to the God Clan, which was quite convenient.
Seeing Zhang Jinwei bringing out the small spiritual boat, Gu Jiu asked, "Are you going too?"
Zhang Jinwei nodded, "Yes, I was ordered by His Majesty the Human King to come here to obey your orders, and gave me a Human King's Order, saying that no matter what you want, you can tell me to do it."
As soon as Gu Jiu heard it, he understood what it meant.
This is to tell her through Zhang Jinwei that the human race is on her side, and if the Son of God of the Gods wants to force a marriage, they, the human race, will not resist.
Gu Jiu once again realized that the six races in this world have clear boundaries and the races are on guard against each other. Marriage is possible, but when it comes to the interests of the two races, it is better to talk about interests first.
"Okay, let's go together." Gu Jiu nodded and boarded Zhang Jinwei's small spirit boat.
Shenqin was not happy. He thought it was just him and Gu Jiu's trip, but he didn't expect there would be a third person involved, which he found very annoying.
Gu Jiu said indifferently: "We have to find someone to run errands. He's pretty good."
Afraid that he would be jealous again, she cleverly changed the subject.
As she was speaking, the little ball of fur in the spirit beast's bag suddenly rolled out, rushed into Gu Jiu's arms, its fur standing on end, and chirped at her to complain.
Gu Jiu was surprised, "What happened?"
Shenqin turned his face away and ignored the little fur ball that was complaining, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.
The little fur ball became even angrier. He pointed his little paws at him and chirped.
Gu Jiu coughed lightly and said in a gentle voice: "Be good, don't be angry. We were in the Human King Palace before, and it was not easy for us to let you out. It won't happen again in the future."
After her comforting, coaxing, and rubbing, the little ball of fur finally smoothed out.
It chirped loudly at Shen Qin, and nestled on Gu Jiu's chest like a black ball of fur, looking as proud as it could be. Shen Qin's eyes turned slightly red at the sight, and he almost couldn't help but use a magical spell to kill the hateful ball of fur.
Gu Jiu, who was caught in the middle: "..."
Fearing that they would kill each other, she had to separate the god and the demon, and she couldn't help feeling tired.
She really hopes that her boyfriend will only have two men, no more.
Ten days later, the small spirit boat arrived at the border between the human race and the vampire race.
The closer you get to the border, the fewer human villages there are. Instead, there are patrols made up of spiritual cultivators and various lookout towers, and the atmosphere is tense.
In addition to the six-tribe war that occurs once every hundred years, there are also many conflicts on the borders of the tribes at other times.
There are many conflicts between the human race, the vampire race, and the ghost race. One of the reasons is that both the vampire race and the human race like to feed on the human race. The human blood and human essence are necessary foods for the survival of these two races.
Humans would never want to become food for other races, so they naturally guard against them with all their might.
With Zhang Jinwei, a disciple of the Zhang family from Renwang City, leading the way, they were not stopped by the patrol team when they encountered them at the border, and were allowed to reach the border smoothly.
That night, Gu Jiu and the other two set up camp at the edge of the forest.
Zhang Mianwei clumsily added firewood to the bottom of the pot and almost burned through it. He was rushed aside by Gu Jiu to practice controlling the fire, as he would have to rely on him to light the fire and cook in the future.
A direct disciple of the Zhang family has actually become a stoker and is still despised.
Zhang Jinwei felt very aggrieved, so he practiced silently, striving to become a qualified fireman in the future so as to avoid being kicked out.
Gu Jiu cooked a pot of spiritual rice, put a lot of cured fish and cured meat on it, added a few green wild vegetables, and poured the sauce he brought from Wujie City on it. A pot of clay pot rice from another world was freshly cooked.
"This way of eating is quite fresh." Zhang Jinwei said as he ate his rice without any image at all.
Shen Qin was very disgusted and sat away from him, next to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu ate very politely. While eating, he opened his senses, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and all things in nature, as a way of practicing.
After coming to the human land, her practice became free and easy, and she practiced all the time. The speed of this practice was not fast, but gradual, which was very consistent with the human race's practice of dual cultivation of the spiritual realm.
Suddenly, Gu Jiu sensed something and his expression paused slightly.
"Ajiu?"
She smiled at the gods around her and said nothing.
After dinner, Gu Jiu went to the nearby stream to wash his hands and said to Zhang Jinwei, "There may be guests coming tonight, so you should be alert."
Zhang Jinwei looked stern and decided not to sleep tonight.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Jinwei felt a strong blood energy approaching this side.
He looked over alertly and saw a figure flying past in the darkness, as fast as a ghost. He subconsciously drew out his silver sword.
Before the silver sword was unsheathed, a cold hand grabbed his neck.
The intoxicated voice of the vampire sounded, "A lone spiritual practitioner... I am so lucky tonight."
Zhang Jinwei was strangled to the point of almost suffocation. This vampire was not only incredibly fast but also incredibly strong. He was a high-level vampire, no wonder he dared to go to the border alone to hunt humans.
The vampire was intoxicated by the scent of the pure blood full of spiritual energy belonging to the human cultivator. The fangs at the corners of his mouth were faintly visible. When he lowered his head to bite the human's neck artery, his head was fixed by a force.
Then, the vampire was pulled away by his hair and thrown out.
The vampire fell to the ground, making a dent under him. Before he could react, someone stepped on his head and half of his face was pressed into the dirt.
“Cough cough cough!”
Zhang Jinwei regained his breath and coughed violently. When he finished coughing, he saw the fate of the vampires and was immediately happy.
