"The saint is in the lower world now?" Emperor Kong Qi blurted out, his tone full of shock and horror.
"Could it be that one?"
Emperor Kong Qi was extremely excited, and seemed a little at a loss. When he thought about the person he might meet, no matter whether he was called the No. 1 Immortal in the World or the Sage of the Academy, they were not enough to describe even one tenth of his legend.
Master Gong Yangli smiled but said nothing: "Your Majesty, please!"
The road leading from the main hall of Shangxian Academy to the Xiansheng Palace is just a narrow corridor and courtyard, but in Kong Qi's eyes it is like a pilgrimage road.
However, the further you go inside, the more you see that the entire ground is beginning to turn jade-like, and the earth and the trees outside the Palace of the Sage are all in a crystallized state.
And on this crystalline ground, stone slabs and walls, one can see extremely complex talisman patterns spreading continuously, as if representing the derivation of the power of the Great Dao. The closer to the Palace of the First Saint and the deeper into it, the more complex they are and the closer they are to the original power of the Great Dao.
Such a horrifying sight and posture shocked even Emperor Kong Qi, who thought he had seen true immortals on earth and many people in the Tribulation Crossing stage, and he walked cautiously.
Emperor Kong Qi was followed only by the Chief of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the two stars Wenchang and Wenqu. The other three were also trembling with fear at this scene. They felt that the power of the immortal patterns on the ground were exploding, and they were afraid that they would all be turned into ashes in an instant.
They are not walking on the earth, they are walking on volcanic purgatory.
Every corner inside the Palace of the Ancient Sage is branded with the patterns of the Great Dao. The entire Palace of the Ancient Sage is like an immortal formation, locking the inside tightly.
That’s right, this immortal formation is not for defending the outside, but for locking up the Sage Palace to prevent the immortal aura and power inside from escaping.
The immortals and gods themselves have long transcended the mortal world and are not tolerated in the lower realms. If they use the power of ordinary great ways and Taoist magic, it would be fine. However, once the real immortals and gods reveal their true form, or their own original power overflows, mortals and low-level practitioners will have no power to resist at all.
If they are not restrained, it will cause huge damage to the lower world, so generally immortals and gods either go out to cover their bodies with the divine light of the Dharma, so that even the cultivators in the tribulation period cannot see the true immortal body of the immortals and gods, or they seal their own power, or live in the mountain gate and do not go out easily. This is also the reason why the immortals and gods have not shown up when the Star Lord's killing calamity has entered this stage.
It's not just because of the punishment of thunder, but also because once the power of immortals and gods leaks out, mortals will die in large numbers, and their merits and sins will leave a heavy mark in the immortal records.
The reason for this is that the Palace of the Ancient Saint is the residence of immortals and gods. Even if Feng Sheng came to the mortal world as a clay figurine, his own original aura belonging to the immortals and gods would inadvertently leak out. The longer Feng Sheng stayed in this world, the more serious the impact would be. Over the years, the Palace of the Ancient Saint had become like this.
Emperor Kong Qi immediately asked Master Gong Yangli, who was leading the way, "Master, why is the Forefather's Palace in such a state? The land and the surroundings are like..."
Master Gong Yangli looked at the director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who immediately stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the immortals and gods in the upper world do not live in the lower world because the lower world cannot contain their power. The power of the immortals and gods overflows, and this is what we see now."
"Look at this immortal formation, it is locking inward layer by layer. If it weren't for this immortal formation controlling it, the entire Bu County would probably be transformed into an immortal realm in an instant."
Emperor Kong Qi sighed, "Today I know that the immortal gods, just by leaking their power, have caused such a situation. No wonder the immortal gods never brought their immortal bodies to the lower world, and the laws of the human world do not tolerate the immortal gods in the upper world."
After crossing the threshold of the Xiansheng Palace, Emperor Kong Qi glanced at the three people behind him, thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You three just wait outside the door, no need to come in."
The director of the Imperial Observatory immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty! Please let me..."
Emperor Kong Qi: "I told you to wait outside the door!"
The director of the Imperial Observatory could only obey the order: "Yes!"
When entering into the Palace of the Ancient Saint, the whole palace feels as if you have arrived at the fairyland in the upper realm. The whole world is made up of colored glaze crystals. The small bridges, spiritual springs, and the entire Palace of the Ancient Saint are filled with spiritual energy to the extreme because of the power of the immortals and gods leaking out.
Among the trees that look like laurel trees, veins of light spread like meridians, and unknown spiritual fruits grow on the trees.
Everything here has changed because an immortal god lives here. Feeling the original power and spiritual charm of the immortal god, even ordinary grass and sand have become immortal objects.
The spiritual energy along the way gathered into mist, and Emperor Kong Qi finally arrived in front of the main hall. The entire Palace of the Ancient Sage was naturally integrated into one at this moment, becoming the embryo of an immortal weapon. This was due to the unintentional overflow of power. If it was refined for thousands of years, it was not impossible for the Palace of the Ancient Sage to become an immortal weapon.
"The Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi wants to see Feng Sheng."
Kong Qi looked into the palace. Because the palace seemed to be made of fairy jade and the fairy light was refracted, he couldn't see the inside clearly. He could only feel that it seemed extremely empty inside, and the area looked much larger than it actually was from the outside.
The palace door that was originally half-closed opened. Kong Qi cautiously hesitated for a long time before walking in. In the lonely and empty hall, he finally saw an immortal holding a zither. The power in his hands flowed along the strings. After a long time, he plucked them once, as if he was tuning the strings, but no sound came out.
The vibration of the strings is not sound, but the law of the Tao.
Seeing Emperor Kong Qi walk in, Feng Sheng finally raised his head and looked at Kong Qi, as if he found a trace of the outline of Kong Huai, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in his appearance.
Emperor Kong Qi bowed hastily again: "So it really is Feng Sheng."
Feng Sheng nodded slightly: "Come to think of it, I have some connection with the Great Zhou."
"When your Great Zhou ancestor, Emperor Dongyang, had not yet attained enlightenment, his master, Lü Zhou, once brought him to visit me. Unfortunately, Lü Zhou died in the ruins of Tianque City in ancient times. He saved Kong Huai at the cost of his entire cultivation. It has probably been two or three thousand years."
"Lü Zhou spent his entire life exploring the path of alchemy and seeking the way to immortality, but unfortunately he ultimately failed to touch the door to the great Dao."
Feng Sheng lowered his head and looked at the Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi: "But I didn't expect that his disciple had fulfilled his life's wish. His inheritance has lived up to its reputation."
Kong Qi had read all the history books of the Great Zhou Dynasty and all the dynasties, but he had never heard of this kind of secret. Not many people in the world knew about this secret history about the youth of Kong Huai, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only when he heard Feng Sheng talk about it did he realize that his ancestors had such a period of time.
At the same time, his face appeared more reserved and awed. The man in front of him had lived so many years that Taizu of the Great Zhou could only be considered a junior in front of him. If the relationship with Lu Zhou was taken into account, the people of the Kong family from generation to generation would probably have to call the man in front of him "grandmaster uncle".
Feng Sheng also saw the Great Zhou Emperor coming to pay homage to the sages of the academy, and he suddenly had an opinion about this person who was the reincarnation of Kang Jinlong Star, and casually talked about his past. However, his casual mention made the Great Zhou Emperor Kong Qi answer cautiously.
Finally, Emperor Kong Qi talked about the real purpose of his visit: "May I ask Feng Sheng, what is Kang Jin Long? As Kang Jin Long, how should I follow the will of heaven?"
Although he knew that he was the reincarnation of Kang Jinlong, he did not know how to act according to the destiny of the star. Although people with star destiny have great fortune and destiny, they are unintentionally pushed to act according to the destiny.
But this is knowing how to respond to destiny and just following the great path in a daze, which is a world of difference.
Emperor Kong Qi came to the Shangxian Academy with great difficulty and met Feng Sheng, the academy's master, in person. How could he not seize the opportunity to ask how Kang Jinlong's star destiny was different from other star destiny
Feng Sheng sat in the temple, his mind seemed to be completely focused on the long zither. With occasional fluctuations, he saw that the entire space was constantly changing. The space inside the temple became extremely large and extremely small.
In the eyes of Emperor Kong Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could see that the wall of the palace was very close, as if it was only a dozen meters away, and then it was pulled to the horizon in the blink of an eye. This terrifying power and vision made Emperor Kong Qi feel completely unable to understand.
At this time, Feng Sheng said: "The arrogant dragon will regret, and the prosperity will eventually decline."
"The Great Zhou is the Kang Dragon. You were born as the Kang Golden Dragon to coincide with the Great Zhou's rise and fall."
"Your destiny is the destiny of the Great Zhou. No matter whether the Great Zhou rises and falls, or rises and prospers, it is all Kang Jinlong. When the final killing calamity comes to an end, you will be one of the twenty-eight constellations in the heaven, the dignified Kang Jinlong Star Lord."
Feng Sheng finally came back to his senses from playing the zither, and his crystal-like eyes looked at Emperor Kong Qi: "As for your decision, it's up to you."
Emperor Kong Qi suddenly realized: "Thank you for your guidance."
