Chapter 398: Jane in the Emperor’s Heart [Please subscribe for a monthly ticket]
Chu Chen and Taoist Mo Yun understood something after listening to Shen Jian's explanation.
Most of these county governors have already broken through to the sixth level, or are about to break through to the sixth level. There is no doubt that they are the mainstay of the Immortal Court, and it is possible that great supernatural powers will be born among them in the future.
If the president of the Taoist Academy is the prince of Dachang, it would be normal for them to be "generous" and encourage them, a group of county governors, to participate in the "Du Guan Sheng Meeting".
This is for the prince to cultivate talents, form his own team, and prepare for the smooth handover of the dynasty.
In other words, Chu Chen and the others are the first batch of "disciples of the emperor". They are in the heart of the emperor and if nothing happens, they will be reused in the future.
Emperor Lingwei only had the last few years left in his term, and he had already reached the stage of re-establishing the foundation of the Celestial Empire.
The throne of the Dachang Dynasty was not passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, but by selecting the best among the royal family and establishing the heir apparent.
The selection scope for the crown prince covers the entire royal family, but there are not many real candidates.
In addition to character and character, the most important thing for a prince is his moral conduct.
If the prince does not have extremely profound Taoism, he will not be able to refine the sacred weapon of Sheji, control the dragon and tiger energy of Sheji, and will not be able to sit on the throne of the supreme king in the world.
What does it mean to be profound in Tao practice?
Looking at the world, one can be called a monk with great supernatural powers who has profound Taoist cultivation, at least a fourth-grade Taoist cultivation level.
In other words, there are two basic conditions for the candidate of Dachang Emperor.
One is from the royal family, and the other has a Taoist cultivation level of level 4 or above.
However, not all monks with great supernatural powers in the royal family are keen on "the throne". On the contrary, many monks with great supernatural powers in the royal family are dedicated to attaining enlightenment and becoming immortals. They remain hidden in the world and only come out when the heaven is in crisis.
Because "Emperor of Dachang" is a risky business.
If you do well, the world will be at peace, your merits will come rolling in, and with accumulated merits, your path to immortality will be bright.
If chaos occurs frequently in the world during his term, demons and demons dance wildly, and the people are in dire straits, not to mention accumulating merits and deeds, his own merits and deeds will be damaged, and his path to immortality will be affected.
Looking back on the past of Dachang Dynasty, this kind of situation has not happened before.
The crown prince of the Celestial Dynasty must not only have profound spiritual conduct and great supernatural powers, but also must have great courage and perseverance to support the country and love all living beings.
"The crown prince of the Celestial Dynasty has been established? Fellow Daoist Shen, where did you hear the news?"
Mo Yunsan was very surprised and asked quickly.
Chu Chen was also very curious. Like Mo Yun Sanren, he came from a small sect and had a network of contacts only in a corner of Qingzhou. He usually didn't pay much attention to the matter of Dachang establishing a heir apparent and didn't know much about it.
Shen Jian enjoyed the feeling of showing off to others and said with a smile:
"Actually, this is no secret in the Celestial Dynasty and among the senior officials of the Immortal Court. Our dean has always had a high voice in the clan. Recently, we have received support from His Majesty and the elders of the clan. The status of the crown prince is almost certain."
"Right now, the dean is in charge of the Taoist Academy and is cultivating his own team. Next, the dean will take over the position of Heavenly Master and take charge of the Immortal Court. At the same time, he will take up a post in the military and gradually take over the authority of the Celestial Dynasty."
Chu Chen and Mo Yunsan nodded their heads in succession, showing their great insights.
The helmsman of Dachang Xianting is respectfully called "Celestial Master". Generally, a highly respected senior member of Xuanmen takes turns taking the position of "Celestial Master" every five years. During the term, he is in charge of all matters of Xianting and is the leader of Xuanmen.
If the country of Dachang changes, the crown prince will take over the position of "Heavenly Master", take charge of the Immortal Court, expand his wings, and share the yin and yang with the current majesty, preparing for a smooth transition in the future.
In other words, during the period of establishing the crown prince, which monk with great supernatural powers in the clan became the "celestial master" and took charge of the fairy court, then there is no doubt that this is the true dragon flying to the sky, the crown prince of the country.
Chu Chen understood clearly in his heart.
No wonder Senior Chonglou said in a vague way that there was an opportunity.
Not only does it refer to the generous encouragement of the [Ten Thousand Magic Suppression Tower], but also to win the attention of the prince, and Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
Even if you haven't cultivated the Heavenly Dao and practiced magical powers, you still have to hang out in the Immortal Court system. If you can get the Crown Prince to look at you differently, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity, and the benefits are self-evident.
"I am planning to go to the Ascension Secret Cave to break through the realm today. I wonder if you two would like to go together?"
Shen Jian is eager to try.
He has had some realizations in the past few days.
Originally, he was not in a hurry to break through, and planned to settle down again, not wanting to waste the precious opportunity of enlightenment in the "Ascension Secret Cave".
But now that the prince is generously encouraging him, he can't wait any longer.
Anyway, he won the lottery during the Shanmen examination and had three chances to realize enlightenment, so he was not afraid of wasting the opportunity.
Mo Yun Sanren was quite moved, but after some careful calculation, Yaoyao nodded:
"Pindao is still a little short of heat, we have to wait a few days."
"Don't worry, Taoist friend Mo Yun, please meditate well."
Shen Jian turned around and asked Chu Chen:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, what about you?"
Chu Chen originally planned to try to make a breakthrough in the near future, but when he saw Shen Jian's invitation, he gladly accepted it.
As a result, the two of them bid farewell to Mo Yun Sanren and headed to the Ascension Secret Cave together.
"Taoist friend Mo Yun is not courageous enough and lacks the courage to make progress. I am afraid that this Taoist breakthrough will not go smoothly."
On the way, Shen Jian commented in a low voice.
Chu Chen shook his head: "This is not to blame, Fellow Taoist Mo Yun. We are from a small sect and don't have many opportunities for trial and error. Once we lose it, there will be no second chance. We cannot compare to a big sect like you, Fellow Daoist Shen." The direct disciple of the Immortal Sect."
Shen Jian rolled his eyes, what kind of small sect are you from?
"Brother Chu, you are so humble. I think your sect's practice seems to be no worse than that of the big Immortal Sect. The most important thing is that your sect attaches great importance to Confucian classics and alchemy. The foundation is not bad. From all aspects, Lingshan The sect has the magnanimity of the great Immortal Sect.”
Chu Chen smiled and did not answer.
Shen Jian saw it quite accurately.
Lingshan Sect has the inheritance of immortal magic. It is indeed not an ordinary small sect. It has the foundation and potential of a large immortal sect.
It's a pity that the path of the sect is too wild, and the Xinlingshan sect has just got on the right track.
While the two were chatting, they came to the Ascension Secret Cave unknowingly.
The "Ascension Secret Cave" is one of the Taoist holy places and is heavily guarded. As soon as the two arrived at the Ascension Secret Cave, a group of Taoist soldiers led by the Protector General stopped them.
"Flying is prohibited here, please register with the two Taoist priests and wait for arrangements."
Chu Chen and Shen Jian had no objections and followed Tao Bing to the palace outside the "Feitian Secret Cave" to register.
Perhaps it was because of the "Crown Prince's" generosity that so many people came to the "Feitian Secret Cave" to practice meditation today.
I met them on the road, and when I entered the Secret Cave Hall to register, I encountered a long queue.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have connections here and have made a reservation a long time ago. I will go in first."
Shen Jian smiled, took out his number plate and waved it.
Guan Hu is amazing.
Chu Chen cursed secretly, but smiled on his face:
"It doesn't matter, you go in first, it doesn't matter if I wait for a while."
Shen Jian nodded with a smile and walked towards the entrance of the secret cave at the back door of the palace.
Chu Chen was good at cultivating Qi. Although he complained in his heart, he was not impetuous.
Just as he was about to queue up to register, a little Taoist boy with red lips and white teeth came towards him and said through his spiritual consciousness:
"Guan Chu, do you want to enter the Ascension Secret Cave to practice cultivation?"
Chu Chen knew the person coming. He was the little Taoist boy next to the senior layman Qingzhu.
layman Qingzhu was the examiner who successively tested his "Qingjing Sutra" in the Shanmen Examination School that day and gave him an "excellent" evaluation.
For more than a month, Chu Chen had been harassing the senior layman Qingzhu. After going back and forth, he naturally became familiar with the Taoist boy around him.
"Yes, I have had some enlightenment in the past two days and want to enter the Ascension Secret Cave to practice some practice."
Xiaodaotong smiled sweetly:
"My master is really clever. He calculated that you would come today and specially made arrangements for you early. You just need to go in with your number plate."
Chu Chen was quite surprised.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he figured it out.
A few days ago, I told Senior Qingzhu that I had some insights, and with the teachings from these Taoist academies, the doctor might have known about the Crown Prince's generosity for a long time. He didn't need any supernatural powers to predict that he would come to the Ascension Secret Cave to practice cultivation today. Break through the path.
After bidding farewell to the little Taoist boy, Chu Chen strode towards the back door of the palace.
