Dongfu Palace.
After talking about Li Ye, Taoist Duobao reported some trivial matters to Taoist Nichen as usual. During this period, Daoist Nichen mostly just listened and nodded, and only spoke a few words at very joint places.
In the end, Daoist Nichen said: "It's an eventful time now, the battles in the fairyland are endless, and the battle in the mortal world is also at a critical time. You have a lot of things to deal with. If you are too busy alone, you can give more to Jinling—if If she has the ability."
Daoist Duobao respectfully said: "Master, don't worry, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is not inferior to the disciple, and her ability to handle various affairs is not inferior to the disciple. Since the master moved to Dongfu Palace, she has indeed shared a lot of pressure for the disciple."
Taoist Nichen nodded, "In that case, share half of the burden on your shoulders with her."
Taoist Duobao's eyes changed, but because he lowered his head, his reaction was not exposed to Taoist Nichen's sight.
Taoist Nichen was under house arrest in the Dongfu Palace and could only control his disciples remotely but not give specific instructions. Taoist Duobao had a considerable amount of authority when dealing with specific affairs.
What Taoist Nichen said now means that Taoist Duobao's authority is divided in half to the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit.
Daoist Duobao couldn't object.
In fact, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is not weaker than him. Although she is not the chief disciple of Taoist Muchen, she has been responsible for about 30% of the daily affairs.
However, the difference between 30% and the average is still too big.
Daoist Duobao's authority was suddenly cut by half by Taoist Nichen, which made him extremely dissatisfied. But he didn't show anything, he still talked to Taoist Nichen with a smile on his face, and praised the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit for her outstanding talents, which made his shoulders a lot lighter, and thanked Taoist Nichen for his concern.
"If the master has no other orders, the disciple will retreat first."
After chatting with Taoist Nichen for a while, Taoist Duobao bowed and resigned.
Daoist Nichen waved his hand, signaling him to take it easy.
Taoist Duobao backed away from the sight of Taoist Nichen, then turned and walked normally, with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until he left the gate of Dongfu Palace that Daoist Duobao's eyes darkened all of a sudden, and a very vicious and vicious look flashed across his pupils.
That has exceeded the level of resentment that some authority should have.
When Taoist Duobao turned to leave, Taoist Nichen, who hadn't glanced this way, had a cold and mocking arc flashing across his mouth.
Not long after, a person came out of Dongfu Palace and stood beside Taoist Nichen with his hands tied.
Daoist Nichen looked at the garden without turning his head, and said in a calm voice, "You have also seen that Duobao's reaction is very problematic."
The Holy Mother of Jinling looked worried, and said hesitantly: "Master, brother, what's wrong with him?"
Taoist Muchen didn't say much.
Not all words need to be said to the people below.
Just now he suddenly shared the authority of Daoist Duobao, but the other party did not show any resistance, which is really abnormal-no verbal conflict, and no resistance at all, there is a big difference.
After a while, Taoist Nichen said, "You can make some arrangements. I have to meet someone as a teacher."
"Who does Master want to see?"
A meaningful smile appeared in the corner of Taoist Nichen's eyes, "A person who is suffering."
...
Taoist Duobao left Dongfu Palace and returned to his fairy palace. After staying for a long time, he quietly sneaked to meet someone.
The Immortal Emperor was staring at a batch of pills in the alchemy room. As the master of the fairy court, he seldom made alchemy by himself, and the elixirs used for rewards were usually refined by the celestial officials, and it was these celestial officials who were refining alchemy in the alchemy room at this moment.
Sensing the arrival of a special person, the Immortal Emperor left the alchemy room and came to the side hall, and cast a barrier around his sleeves, only letting that special person in.
Seeing the Immortal Emperor, Taoist Duobao respectfully saluted, and his attitude was more pious than when facing Taoist Muchen, "I see you, Your Majesty!"
The Immortal Emperor sat down on the spacious and elegant seat, ordered Taoist Duobao to flatten his body, and then asked lightly, "How are you doing what I ordered you to do?"
Daoist Duobao stood in the hall, showing joy in his respect, "I have repeatedly confirmed that Taoist Nichen's plan this time is still the same as usual!"
The Immortal Emperor was noncommittal: Looking at Daoist Duobao, "Is it really the same?"
Bearing the gaze of the Immortal Emperor, Taoist Duobao didn't dare to move even a bit. He knew that if he showed any signs of lying at this time, he would not be able to hide it from the eyes of the Immortal Emperor. Fortunately, he didn't have to lie at all, "Taoist Muchen They also said today that we...they haven't accumulated enough strength, and now we can only hide our strengths and bide our time, and use the world as a chessboard for a place to stand, and wait until...the strength has accumulated enough, and then think about it."
The Immortal Emperor nodded ponderingly, "So, when Li Ye and Zhu Wen fight in the Central Plains, you will confuse Li Ye's eyes, mind, and the layout behind the chaos, and you will completely activate and make him completely defeated?"
"Your Majesty is holy." Taoist Duobao quickly said yes, "Taoist Nichen and the others now have this strength."
Speaking of this, Taoist Duobao shut up seeing the Immortal Emperor lost in thought, not daring to disturb him.
After a while, wait until the Immortal Emperor stops thinking. Taoist Duobao tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, the price offered by Taoist Nichen this time is 600 immortal officials above rank seven."
"Six hundred? He really dared to open his mouth." The Immortal Emperor smiled, stood up, and waved his hand, "Forget it, just give it to him. When this matter is over, I will completely eliminate them!"
"Yes!" Taoist Duobao looked serious.
The Immortal Emperor glanced at Taoist Duobao, smiled warmly, and said, "Don't worry, I have always been very clear about rewards and punishments, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future. When Taoist Nichen and Xiao Xiao are completely pulled out, I will let you be among the third princes. "
Hearing the word "Three Dukes", Daoist Duobao was overjoyed and quickly bowed to the ground, "I thank Your Majesty Long En!"
In the Immortal Emperor's Dynasty, the Sangong was the most honorable, commanding all the immortal officials, and under that was the Jiuqing.
As the eldest disciple of Master Tongtian, and the most powerful and highest-status person in their sect, Daoist Duobao was already among the Jiuqing, but he was undoubtedly far behind Sangong.
Duobao has the cultivation strength to rank among the three lords, but strength is not everything, he needs the opportunity given by the Immortal Emperor.
And this is the reason why Daoist Duobao took refuge in the Immortal Emperor and was willing to work as an undercover agent for him.
In fact, the Immortal Emperor has always paid a high price in order to win Taoist Duobao.
But this is worth it for the Immortal Emperor, because with Taoist Duobao's refuge, he has the ability to completely wipe out the faction of the leader of Tongtian.
Returning to his fairy palace, Taoist Duobao took a long time to suppress his joy.
He came to the window and looked in the direction of Dongfu Palace, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
After a long time, Taoist Duobao sighed in shame: "Master, don't blame me. After all, the Immortal Court is the Immortal Emperor's Immortal Court. From the moment we were defeated, we had no chance to make a comeback... Immortal Emperor Never give us this chance!"
His eyes gradually darkened, "Tongtian Sect has no chance, but I, Taoist Duobao, have it! I have such strength in cultivation, why should I go all the way with a group of people who are destined to perish? I should have a great future , I have the opportunity to hit the Saint Realm! This opportunity can only be achieved by becoming a Sangong and mastering more cultivation resources!"
"Even if I don't take refuge in the Immortal Emperor, there will be others. In fact, I'm just protecting myself...Master, you have done a good job of using the world as a chess game for so many years, but you have done a good job of using the world as a chess game. There is really no chance. But it doesn’t matter, the disciple is your disciple after all, and you should feel relieved when the disciple will achieve greatness and surpass you in the future, right?”
...
Heavenly Punishment Abyss.
The vast abyss with an invisible bottom is filled with billowing black smoke, and you can't see your fingers. Sometimes there are countless beasts roaring and running in the dark bottom, sometimes there are thousands of thunder and lightning roaring down, and sometimes there are ghost howling blood shadows rushing towards you, making this place even more terrifying than the endless hell.
In the center of the bottom of the abyss, there is a lone Wanren mountain peak. There is an open space on the top of the mountain. On the open space, there are densely packed giant stone pillars. In the middle of the stone pillars, there is a person chained by the Xingmo Immortal. This person is being bitten by a beast. He was bombarded by lightning and penetrated into his body by ghosts.
He was tortured all the time, his whole body was dripping with blood and trembling, and he looked like a piece of human-shaped rotten flesh.
The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source. Download the huanyuanapp.org source change app here, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.
But he didn't die, his own powerful cultivation made his wounded body continue to heal. However, this is not his luck, but the source of his pain. The new flesh on the wound is always destroyed by various tortures before it grows well.
So the pain never ends.
However, there are countless voices in the abyss, but there is no cry from him.
From the beginning to the end, he kept his face up and his head tilted, looking indifferent and contemptuous. So even with disheveled hair and disheveled appearance, because of his look, he seems to have an unruly charm.
"Looking at Zhenjun's calm and relaxed appearance, if I didn't know that this place is the abyss of punishment, I would almost think that Zhenjun is not undergoing punishment, but is just using external forces to improve his cultivation."
A voice rang in Yang Jian's ears, and a figure that seemed real or unreal appeared in front of him.
Yang Jian glanced at the projection of Taoist Nichen, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was too lazy to speak.
Daoist Nichen floated in front of him and sat cross-legged, turning a deaf ear to the crying ghosts and howling wolves around him, and took his time to say: "Zhenjun is a sensible person, and the old Taoist doesn't talk nonsense. I came back to form an alliance with Zhenjun."
Yang Jian was still too lazy to speak, but the disdain in his eyes had already shown his attitude.
Daoist Nichen didn't take it seriously, and seemed to know what the other party was thinking: "Maybe Zhenjun thinks that I don't have the ability to overthrow the Immortal Emperor, so he thinks that I am overwhelmed. Indeed, if it is the same as before, the old Taoist can only linger on. If there is a big commotion in the mortal world, you have to obediently hand over the great situation to others, in exchange for a place to stand."
Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "So no matter how you look at it, the old man looks ridiculous—doing ridiculous things, so he is a ridiculous person."
"However, Zhenjun should know that in the situation of the old man, if he didn't do this, how could the emperor allow my people to survive until now? Only when the emperor feels that we have no ability to really threaten him, he will not be in a hurry Fight us to the death. It is precisely to convince the emperor of this point that, over the years, the old Taoist has given countless good situations in the mortal world to the emperor."
"Perhaps in the Immortal Emperor, my ridiculous behavior has saved him a lot of trouble. After all, the world is so big, there are so many princes, and the problems are so complicated. Our people eliminated some princes and solved some problems. Immortal Emperor Just deal with us."
"The point is, every time we reach the end, we do give him a good situation. He really solved many threats without any effort and got great benefits. In this way, Zhenjun said, what reason does the Immortal Emperor have?" Erase us? We are simply his minions. He would like us to go to the mortal world to make trouble, so as to save him a lot of energy."
Daoist Nichen sighed, "Using the world as a chess game to exchange for a place to stand... Is the situation in the world exchanged for a place to stand? No, it is not actually, it is actually exchanged with this kind of behavior!"
After saying this, Taoist Nichen looked at Yang Jian and stopped talking, as if he was waiting for the other party to make a statement.
For him to be able to say this, he has shown sincerity.
Yang Jianmi slanted at Taoist Nichen, "You and your disciples also said that?"
Taoist Nichen smiled frankly, "Of course not. To people like Fairy Guanghan, I would say great ideals, because they pursue this. To people like Taoist Duobao, I would say power struggle, because they don't believe in ideals, only selfish desires." , and think they have seen the true face of the world, so they only believe in reality.”
Speaking of this, Taoist Nichen sneered: "In comparison, Taoist Duobao is even more stupid. How can reality have any true face? Reality is that the strong are respected, and reality is that those who are favored by luck can achieve great things. Reality is wisdom A master stands on a high ground, the reality is that the truth is more precious than the interests, the reality is that the interests are more real than the truth, the reality... is the reality!"
Yang Jian said coldly: "The reality is that you are talking in your sleep now."
Daoist Nichen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
At the end, he gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Zhenjun is indeed a man of wisdom and understanding!"
He stood up and shook his sleeves, "To be honest, the old Taoist has already noticed that Taoist Duobao took refuge in the Immortal Emperor - he thought he knew his master, but in fact his master knew him better than him. So the old Taoist borrowed his You can deceive the Emperor for a while—if you want to convince a person to believe in yourself, the most important thing is to be sincere, Taoist Duobao thinks that what he knows is the truth, so he can naturally convince the Emperor."
"Of course, Zhenjun doesn't want to hear the old Taoist say these things. What the old Taoist wants to say this time is that this time the mortal world war is different from the past, and Li Ye is also different from the previous monarchs. He is the opportunity of the old Taoist, the old Taoist I will do my best to help him. Therefore, if Zhenjun is willing, he can join hands with the old Taoist."
The contempt in Yang Jian's eyes remained undiminished, "You talk to people when you see people, and you talk to ghosts when you see ghosts. You tell Fairy Guanghan that you want to reshape the order of the world, and Taoist Duobao that you have to continue to hide your power and bide your time. Which sentence do you think I will believe you?" ?”
Taoist Muchen was silent for a moment.
He looked directly into Yang Jian's eyes: "The lord never tells the whole truth to his ministers, he always says different things in front of different people, and he says what he needs to say. Then the real king should know , there is one thing that will never change in Renzhu."
"What's up?"
"The reason why the owner is the owner is that he will never be inferior to others!"
Yang Jian was silent.
The leader of Tongtian religion is of course the leader of human beings.
His goal, of course, is to overthrow the Immortal Emperor and become the Lord of the Immortal Court.
So as long as the time comes, he will act with thunder.
