Chapter 1072 Impeaching the Heavenly Master! The Emperor Dachang Clan
The border of Great Kyushu, Qian Mi Pass.
The so-called "Thousand Miasma", as the name suggests, originally there were thousands of miasma clouds here, layer upon layer, covering the sky with poisonous miasma, stretching hundreds of miles across, forming a natural pass barrier.
At that time, the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty had expanded the Great Kyushu to this point, but instead of further developing it, they established the Guanzhen Fortress outside Mianyun.
Today, the scene of poisonous miasma covering the sky has long disappeared, but [Qian Miguan] has been preserved and grown day by day. Now it has become the core town on the southwest border of Great Kyushu. Even the Southwest Governor's Palace is now stationed there.
here.
"call out!"
A ray of light rushed from the Demon Realm and rushed into the [Thousand Miasma Pass].
At this moment, the formation ban outside Guan Town responded immediately, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, and the surging formation aura disappeared in a flash, as if nothing happened.
The escaping light flew into the core of [Thousand Miasma Pass] without any hindrance.
[Qian Miguan] Governor's Mansion, inner hall.
"Master-uncle!"
"Zhenyi, sit down."
Yu Xuzi called the young Taoist in front of him to sit down and glanced subconsciously:
"Your Taoist practice seems to have improved a lot."
Speaking of this, Yu Xuzi Xu noticed something. He looked Chu Chen up and down, his face was filled with shock. Because he was so excited, he was a little incoherent:
"This is your Taoist practice, this is the second-grade Taoist practice."
"Well, we had a breakthrough three or four years ago."
When Chu Chen saw Yu Xuzi's jaw dropped, he smiled and nodded without denying it.
In the past few years, although the Demonic Realm in the southwest has continued to expand, no major wars have broken out, and it can be considered peaceful. His original form has basically not appeared in the [Qingchen Cave], but has sent clones to incarnate to deal with the Demonic Realm.
thing.
In other words, my uncle Yu Xuzi has dealt with Chu Chen a lot in the past few years, but this was the first time he met Chu Chen himself.
When Chu Chen paid homage to his uncle Yu Xuzi, he did not use escape techniques to cover up his aura, so that Yu Xuzi could see some clues at a glance, which was normal.
"this"
Yu Xuzi swallowed his saliva and didn't recover for a long time.
Chu Chen actually achieved the second level of Taoism, and it was only three or four years ago.
This news is really unexpected and shocking.
Back then, Chu Chen guarded the blessed land of Cave Heaven and laid out the [Eight Formations of Heavenly Essence Spiritual Text], which shocked the world of spiritual practice. When he first heard the news, he was shocked as a heavenly being, but as a powerful military strategist and a master of formations, after some deductions
, he was not surprised by Chu Chen's amazing performance, it was understandable.
But the shocking news now was beyond his knowledge.
In just a few years, Chu Chen has entered the second level of Taoism.
I think back then, he was trapped in the realm of the third stage of Dzogchen Taoism for many years. In order to step out of this small window, he searched everywhere for immortals and asked questions. He went through countless hardships and spent a lot of time before he stepped out of this small window.
step.
But Chu Chen has clearly entered the third level of Taoism for more than ten years.
"Cough cough cough~"
Seeing Yu Xuzi's dumbfounded look, Chu Chen smiled and explained:
"I was able to break through, thanks to the [Tongtian Wonderland] of Cave Heaven Paradise, I realized the great road, and then broke through this bottleneck in one fell swoop!"
"No, no, no, [Tongtian Wonderland] is probably just an opportunity."
Yu Xuzi shook his head when he heard this and said with emotion:
"Although I have never seen the [Wonderful Realm of Tongtian] in the cave, I have some insights and understanding of the way of cultivation. The second-grade Taoism cannot be broken through by chance and coincidence. It must be the transformation of the mind, the great enlightenment, and the creation of the supreme realm.
Only with the sword of wisdom can we break through the bottleneck and get rid of the suppression of the will of heaven and earth."
"Your breakthrough to this level depends on the accumulation of knowledge. Without this opportunity, you may be able to break through in the near future!"
Yu Xuzi talked eloquently, his heart was like a mirror, and he could see the fire. After finishing speaking, he looked at Chu Chen with shining eyes and praised:
"Zhenyi, with your understanding and Dao practice, I am afraid that the second-level Taoist practice and practice skills will not be difficult for you. You will be able to conquer the small realm. Within ten years, you will be able to cultivate the first-level magic power and become one of the most powerful people!"
"Haha~"
Chu Chen laughed briefly, feeling a little embarrassed.
He currently has a first-level magic power cultivation level, and it took him ten years to do so.
However, he did not refute Yu Xuzi or defend the fact that he was already a first-level mana practitioner. He just nodded and acquiesced to Yu Xuzi's statement.
After all, this matter involves a lot, and you have to explain your own creation of immortal skills, refining the gods, and looking at ancient times, etc., which is asking for trouble.
Anyway, Yu Xuzi was not wrong, he was just a little ahead of schedule.
"Thank you so much, uncle, for your kind words!"
After Chu Chen responded politely, he thought of business and asked casually:
"Uncle Master, I wonder why you summoned me today? But something important happened again?"
Speaking of this matter, Chu Chen was also quite curious. During their daily conversations, the two of them "believed in fake incense legends" or communicated remotely using the "Celestial Immortal Court Talisman".
However, no matter how brilliant the magical power is, there are loopholes and there is a risk of being eavesdropped. Only face-to-face conversations can eliminate hidden dangers. It must be extremely important for the two of them to meet in person, and they cannot leak even a single important thing.
"That's right."
When Yu Xuzi mentioned this matter, his expression became solemn. At that moment, his spiritual consciousness searched outside, and he cast a few more spells and activated the surrounding restrictions. After the hidden dangers were eliminated, he spoke again:
"It's not a matter of the wilderness in our southwest, but the situation in the imperial capital is getting weirder and weirder."
The situation in the imperial capital.
Chu Chen's heart trembled.
Over the past four years or so, the situation in the southwest borderlands has been stable.
The Southwest Governor's Mansion commands hundreds of thousands of elite troops, with the [Kyushu Barrier] as a barrier. Although it is hopeless to attack, it is more than enough to defend. Not to mention, with Yu Xuzi, a military master, personally in charge, the entire southwest frontier can be said to be...
Solid as gold.
The Southwest Demon Academy under Chu Chen was no less generous.
In addition to saving the people in the demonic realm and surrendering to the tribe, he also did an extremely good job in preventing the demon army and the demons from invading.
With the cooperation of the Governor's Mansion and the Demon Academy, the demon kingdom was blocked from the Kyushu barrier. Although there were constant frictions in the entire southwest wilderness, no crisis broke out.
The real trouble occurred in the northwest frontier.
Since the election of the new Immortal Court Elders Council and the imperial court officials concluded four years ago, the strategic focus of the Celestial Immortal Court has shifted. Countless powerful people and elite troops have been transferred to the northwest frontier, putting their treasure on the development of the northwest.
This decision, considered today, is still extremely wise and correct.
The yin and yang are reversed, the demonic Qi suppresses the positive Qi of the universe, and the tide of demonic Qi "ebbs" is far away. The southwest wilderness is blocked by the demon realm. There is no problem for the Celestial Court to focus on developing the northwest wilderness.
As long as we can open up the situation in the northwest frontier and further expand the territory, the negative impact of the previous losses in the eight southwest states can be suppressed, and the entire Celestial Court can unite and move on the right track.
However, things backfired.
What Tianchao Immortal Court least wanted to happen happened - the development of Tianchao Immortal Courtyard in the northwest wilderness was not going smoothly.
In the past four years or so, the Celestial Immortal Court has been aggressively marching into the northwest frontier. Although it has won several battles, destroyed several demon kingdoms, and captured territory in three or four states, it has not been able to occupy it for a long time.
Gain and loss, loss and recovery. Back and forth, you fight for it, back and forth, the entire northwest wasteland has become a flesh and blood millstone, and the beating is extremely anxious.
After more than four years, except for the territory of the six northwest states developed by the previous generation of emperor "Lingwei Emperor", which was further consolidated, the territory that was actually swallowed was only one state.
If it were more than ten years ago, the strategic focus of Celestial Immortal Court was during the "Southwestern Frontier" period, and if the northwest expansion could capture the territory of a state, it would definitely be a great achievement, worthy of a special mention and awards from the three armed forces.
But it's different now.
The entire Celestial Empire focused on the northwest wilderness and fought for more than four years. This little harvest is not enough.
It goes without saying that the frontier expansion in the northwestern frontier encountered setbacks, and the pressure on the highest levels of the imperial capital was great.
Especially the new Immortal Master "Chongxu Zhenren". After taking office, he personally went to the northwest frontier to supervise the war, coordinate the forces of all parties, and strive to expand the results of the northwest frontier and open up a new situation.
The development of the northwest frontier was blocked, and Chongxu Zhenren was the subject of much controversy, and was criticized by both the government and the public.
"Could it be that someone is impeaching Master Chongxu again?"
Chu Chen frowned.
Master Chongxu is his old boss, and he knows very well the abilities of Master Chongxu, and he is definitely not a mediocre person.
When the eight states in the southwest were opened up, Master Chongxu led the Southwest Demon Academy to fight against the Demon Lord Yaoyue, the Demon Emperor Wanfa, and the outsider [Luo Guixiang], and achieved fruitful results, whether it was Taoism, supernatural powers, or work.
Ability is the best choice.
The unfavorable development of the northwest frontier is not a problem of one or two people. The situation is extremely complicated.
However, when the situation is unfavorable, someone has to take the blame.
Master Chongxu is the one who takes the blame.
In the past year, there have been constant criticisms, questioning Zhenren Chongxu, and even several people have written letters of impeachment, causing quite a stir.
"good!"
Yu Xuzi nodded with a serious expression:
"This time the commotion is much bigger than before. In the past, it was just criticism in the public. Occasionally, the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace would report impeachment. Immortal Court and the Cabinet would suppress it and it would pass. This time is different. Last night, in the deserted army in the northwest, local
The prefectures, counties and Zhongzhou forces, all forces criticized him and jointly impeached Taoist Chongxu and asked him to step down. The commotion was very big."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was shocked.
He has been practicing abroad for a long time and has not been transferred to the imperial capital to hold important positions. His foundation in the imperial capital is weak and he has no personal connections. News about the situation in the imperial capital is relatively lagging behind.
When he heard Yu Xuzi mention it, he was immediately surprised and frowned.
The Celestial Master of Xianting can be re-elected for two terms at most, for a total term of ten years.
Under normal circumstances, as long as they do not fall into evil heretics, do not commit treason, and do not encounter any problems, the former Celestial Master will serve two terms, and there are very few who will be impeached and ousted from office midway.
If Master Chongxu is really impeached and steps down, it will definitely be a rare event in a century.
After this incident, not only did Chongxu Zhenren come under heavy criticism, but also the authority of Mr. Ming Jing was probably questioned.
After all, Master Chongxu is Mr. Ming Jing’s most reliable right-hand man, and he is also the one promoted by Mr. Ming Jing.
At this thought, Chu Chen couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"The impeachment is false. This impeachment is probably aimed at Mr. Ming Jing."
Yu Xuzi was a little surprised:
"You actually know that too?"
"My guess."
Chu Chen didn't know much about the situation in the imperial capital, and he didn't know the specific situation. However, he did know that there was a demon fetus of the "Luo Guizhen Demon" in the upper echelons of the Celestial Court.
The wilderness in the northwest has obviously fought several hearty and hearty battles, but as a result, the development has been frustrated. The battle results have been lost and lost, and the situation has been corrupted. Behind this, there must be evil spies secretly at work.
Moreover, the great demon spy is probably not fighting alone. In the northwest wilderness, he must have countless demonic minions under his command to drive the force and secretly hold back. This has led to the deterioration of the situation in the northwest wilderness and the delay.
Expand the results.
In other words, opening up the northwest frontier is not only a battle on the surface, but also a secret struggle filled with smoke and raging war.
Now, the demonic forces have the upper hand, and with their huge appetite, their target is naturally not just "Master Chongxu", but the real target is probably "Mr. Ming Jing".
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
The most fatal weakness of a truly powerful thing is within.
With the strength of the Dachang Dynasty, it is not afraid of the Demon Court at all. A head-on confrontation between the demons from outside the territory is just afraid of internal problems and collapse.
"You guessed it right!"
Yu Xuzi looked calm and said calmly:
"This impeachment is directed at Mr. Ming Jing. It is said that the Dachang clan is quite dissatisfied with Mr. Ming Jing. It was the Dachang clan who started the impeachment of Mr. Chongxu, and that is why so many people dared to follow up!"
Dachang clan?
Chu Chen was secretly shocked and surprised.
This situation was more complicated than he imagined.
As a member of the royal family of the Dachang Clan, they usually keep a low profile and rarely interfere in the affairs of the Celestial Court. However, with all the factions and forces in the world, no one dares to underestimate the strength and heritage of the Dachang Clan.
It should be noted that when Taizu founded the Immortal Court of Heaven, he relied on absolute force to sweep the world, unify all people, and suppress the world.
Thousands of years have passed unknowingly since Taizu attained enlightenment. Although the strength of the Dachang clan is not as strong as it was back then, it can suppress various sects without any problem. This is the final foundation of the Celestial Court.
At the same time, the Dachang clan was also the last force to check and balance the emperor of the dynasty.
If the emperor of the current dynasty does evil, acts recklessly, or creates big troubles, and there is no power to check and balance in the dynasty, the Dachang clan will have to take action to dethrone the emperor.
Of course, since the birth of the Dachang Dynasty, the Dachang clan has never deposed an emperor.
After thinking about this, Chu Chen frowned:
"What's going on in the clan? Don't you think the situation is not chaotic enough?"
"I must be worrying too much. The Celestial Empire has not yet dethroned an emperor. The old guys in the clan will not do it easily."
Yu Xuzi shook his head, then his eyes fell on Chu Chen, and said leisurely:
"Zhenyi, I came to see you today for nothing else. I just want to remind you that no matter what the intentions of the old guys in the clan are, you should not interfere or get involved."
Chu Chen hesitated: "This"
"I know that you have a good relationship with Mr. Ming Jing. He has been kind to you and you have a good personal relationship, but..."
Yu Xuzi looked serious:
"Things come to a close. As long as it involves the struggle between the emperor and the clan, it is a family matter of the Dachangji family. We must not interfere. This is a taboo!"
Chu Chen fell silent after hearing this.
He naturally understands this.
"I know!"
"Great kindness!"
When Yu Xuzi saw Chu Chen nodding in agreement, he was quite satisfied. He felt relieved about Chu Chen, so he immediately stopped and said nothing more. He thought of something and said:
"By the way, you seem to have something to ask me about today. What is it?"
Chu Chen was still immersed in the strange situation in the imperial capital. When he heard Yu Xuzi asked, he subconsciously replied:
"I want to refine the magic weapon of the Immortal Family, and I plan to go to the northwest wilderness to find the Kunwu Divine Stone."
"Oh I got it!"
Yu Xuzi also subconsciously nodded in response, but soon, he noticed something and looked shocked:
