"Senior brother, where are you going? I didn't go to Yun Dou~"
The little devil's scream echoed through Chufeng's secret cave.
"Senior brother, if you have something to do, you can go and play with your sister Ying'er."
Chu Chen ignored the little devil, held up the five-color cloud bucket, and headed straight to the Diyuan Dragon Palace.
Xu Longjun had given instructions in advance, and Chu Chen had an unimpeded journey and went straight to the Dragon Palace Garden.
In the garden, the flowers were in full bloom, colorful and beautiful. Long Jun sat leisurely under the pavilion, playing with the tea set with his back to Chu Chen who was coming over. When he noticed Chu Chen's arrival, he didn't look back.
"sit!"
Chu Chen felt uneasy and bit the bullet and sat down next to Long Jun.
It's strange to say that when he was just a little Taoist boy, he could be neither arrogant nor humble when facing the Dragon Lord, and he was calm and composed. Now that he has become a monk with great magical powers, he is intimidated.
Perhaps, this is the result of "asking for others".
It is not unreasonable to be strong without desire.
"Erlang, just now did you ascend to heaven and travel as a soul?"
"Well, I went to Nantianmen."
When Chu Chen saw Long Jun asked about this matter, he didn't hide it.
Although this kind of method of communicating with the immortal world and entering the underworld is rare, it is not uncommon.
Long Jun smiled slightly and said with emotion:
"The authentic Taoism is good. It has a backer in heaven and earth, and has a bright future."
"Long Jun, how can I have any backer now? As soon as I arrived at the Nantian Gate, the guarding god general told me not to declare my family status, and don't think about finding a backer from heaven."
Chu Chen gave an overview of his trip to Nantianmen. He was worried and wanted to ask for help, so he complimented:
"Speaking of which, there is no supporter in the sky better than Lord Long."
"Hahahaha~ What you said is good, I like to hear it."
Long Jun laughed loudly and threw a piece of [Nine Nether Order] to Chu Chen: "Erlang, this is the Nine Nether Elder Order. If you step into the realm of great supernatural powers, you will become the elder of our Jiuyou Alliance."
"Thank you, Mr. Long."
Chu Chen received the new [Nine Nether Order] and was quite happy.
The main purpose of [Nine Netherworld Alliance] is to cultivate immortality and seek Taoism, to be quiet and inactive, and rarely fight with the outside world. After these years of observation, Chu Chen quite recognized the Nine Netherworld Alliance, and naturally readily accepted the invitation to the elder seat.
After becoming the elder of the Nine Nether Alliance, he has the right to mobilize some of the forces of the Nine Nether Alliance. This power is not small. Correspondingly, he also has the obligation to safeguard the legitimate interests of the Nine Nether Alliance, protect and support the younger generations in the alliance.
Seeing Chu Chen's joy, Lord Long seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said:
"According to the usual practice, I will give some guidance to the newly promoted monks of the Nine Nether Alliance with great supernatural powers. It is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Erlang, come here, I will give you some good guidance today."
Chu Chen's smile froze, and he felt that the Nine Nether Token in his hand became extremely hot.
Good guy, he is here as expected. The old man is too cautious.
"Ahem~ Mr. Long, that's no need. You always give me advice and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Long Jun shook his head, eager to try:
"Hey, you were able to beat up the son-in-law of Yunmeng Long Palace as soon as you broke through, and my guidance is indispensable. Come on, I will give you some more guidance. Don't let others bully you when you go out."
"Long Jun, there's really no need for that"
It was too late, but at that moment, Chu Chen still wanted to struggle. This old man didn't know martial arts, and he grabbed the terrifying golden dragon claw out of the air, and his attack was extremely ruthless.
Before entering the realm of great supernatural powers, when Chu Chen faced the Long Lord's instructions, he had no power to resist and could only be beaten unilaterally.
Now after the breakthrough, Chu Chen's Yuan Shen's power is stronger than before, but he can "see" Long Lord's attack. With the strength to resist, he sees the right moment and kicks out the [Taishan Divine Leg].
"Well done, good boy, you actually fought back. That's right. You can take out the devil's weapons and I will teach you how to shoot."
Chu Chen was not polite and summoned the demon weapon [Blood Dragon Spear] to deal with the Dragon King.
Of course, it's of no use.
Qingzhou, Diyuan Cave Heaven belongs to the Dragon Lord Field, let alone Chu Chen, even if the immortal comes in person, I am afraid he will not be able to get a favor, let alone Chu Chen, who has just broken through the realm of great supernatural powers.
Long Jun grabbed Chu Chen, threw him in the air, and knocked Chu Chen away. Then he kicked Chu Chen in the chest, hitting him so hard that his internal organs were turned upside down, and his limbs were as if they had fallen into a pool of thunder.
"Ahhhhh~"
"Long Jun, please be gentle, my leg is broken."
"Just cut it off. Don't worry, I will cure you right away. Let's keep going."
"Crack!"
"Longjun, it's broken again."
This violent beating, no, this coaching session lasted for a full two hours. Long Jun finally gave up and went back to the pavilion to drink tea.
Chu Chen sat opposite him with a pale expression.
Even though he could still stand now, the energy in his body was severely damaged and his body was seriously injured.
"Erlang, are you enlightened?"
Long Jun drank tea leisurely, with clouds of mist blowing on his face, and his celestial demeanor made him look like a god.
"I have some enlightenment, thank you Mr. Long for your guidance."
Chu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Speaking of it, Lord Long was really not being petty, he was just trying to beat Chu Chen violently.
Mr. Long really gave his advice.
After the breakthrough that day, the super-grade method [Leg Yuanjun] and the original power of [Shenhuang Orb] showed great power, showing terrifying power, but the consequences of the divine Qi also broke out completely at once.
In the past two days, [Leg Yuanjun] has been restless and disturbed.
If he were to practice normally, Chu Chen would probably have to spend several months to get back to normal. However, after some "guidance" from Lord Long, the hidden dangers of [Leg Yuanjun] were eliminated, which helped him completely refine the [Shenhuan Origin Orb].
].
In addition, Long Jun also gave him pointers on his marksmanship.
A few days ago, when he was fighting with the Little Marquis of Qingyang, his marksmanship was at a disadvantage. Lord Long turned around and gave him special instructions on his marksmanship.
Speaking of which, Long Jun was really kind to him, but this "good intention" had changed, and it seemed that there was some personal grudge.
"Long Jun, do you know the origin of this gun technique?"
"Hey, all the good tea is gone."
Long Jun took a sip of tea, sighed, and glanced at Chu Chen angrily:
"It has no origin. I created it casually. It is a spear that can suppress mountains and rivers. It is the true meaning of the mountains and the earth. The spear technique is majestic and profound. It is similar to the [Taishan Divine Leg] you have learned."
"You don't need to copy this king's marksmanship, just learn from it. It's best to apply what you have learned and integrate it into your own marksmanship and kicks. The power of the great supernatural monks belongs to themselves. There is a huge difference in strength and weakness. The root cause is this. Only you can
Only by enlightening yourself can you go a long way."
Long Jun saw that Chu Chen had a look of disgust on his face, but his instructions were unambiguous and very attentive. He gave instructions on everything from marksmanship, leg skills, magical powers, and inner elixir cultivation.
Chu Chen benefited greatly from what he heard. He endured the pain and listened attentively.
After giving some instructions, Long Jun waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you go back to heal your wounds. My precious spiritual tea has been stolen. I have to go look for it."
Chu Chen smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to stay any longer, so he quickly ran away.
Not to mention anything else, there were so many tea boxes and tea cans produced by Dragon Palace in his bracelet in the Immortal Mansion. He felt very guilty and had clouds on his feet. Dragging his injured body, he ran extremely numbly.
However, as soon as he left the garden, he heard the voice of Dragon Lord's spiritual consciousness reaching his ears.
"Erlang, give me ten years of hard work. If you fail in ten years, I will leave you alone."
The five-colored cloud under Chu Chen's feet suddenly slowed down, and he immediately looked back at the Dragon Palace in the clouds and mist.
Under the pavilion in the garden, Lord Long left without knowing when, and there was no one around.
"Erlang (senior brother)~"
Qingying came in a hurry with the little ghost boy.
When she saw Chu Chen's pale face and Yuan Qi's serious injury, Qingying immediately guessed something, her pretty face turned red and she was very angry:
"Father has gone too far."
Qingying was heartbroken and scolded an old man in the family over and over again.
"Ying'er, I'm fine. Mr. Long gave me guidance and I benefited a lot."
After saying that, Chu Chen smiled and sent a message to Qingying's spiritual consciousness:
"Yinger, I will marry you in ten years at most."
If someone else listened to Mr. Long's confused words, they might not be able to understand the underlying meaning behind Mr. Long's words.
However, Chu Chen understood.
Mr. Long probably wanted to let Empress Longling witness his daughter’s big day, so he made a ten-year agreement.
For a monk with great supernatural powers, ten years is not a long time, it just goes by in the blink of an eye. The Dragon Lord's request does not embarrass anyone at all, it is just the good expectation of a father and a husband.
Chu Chen was naturally willing to wait.
To take a step back, ten years later, if Lord Long disagrees, his wings will become stiff and it will be useless for Lord Long to object.
"Hmm~"
Qingying lowered her head and responded softly, feeling shy but more happy.
She was afraid that Chu Chen would give up because of her father. Now that she saw that Chu Chen was so determined despite being beaten so hard by her father, she was extremely happy, her worries were relieved, and she felt very at ease.
The kid frowned and said aggrievedly:
"Senior brother, Sister Ying'er, what are you secretly saying through your spiritual consciousness?~ I haven't broken through to the fourth-grade fairy boy. Do you dislike me and ignore me?"
"Hahahaha~ How could that happen?"
——
Another three days passed.
Chu Chen went into the Diyuan Cave to practice meditation and heal his wounds. He felt at ease regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter outside.
At this moment, the result of Xianting's handling of the case of Yunwu Lake God has finally come down.
Chu Chen was reprimanded by the Immortal Court for excessive enforcement of the law, dismissed from all immortal positions, and was kept under observation for one year.
Chu Chen readily accepted Xianting's treatment and did not protest.
First of all, he indeed over-enforced the law and used tactics that could not withstand the investigation. He continued to cause trouble to the Immortal Court at all costs and went to the underworld to summon Gu Aoyu who had been sentenced to hell to return to the earth to face the court.
Not beautiful anymore.
Secondly, the Immortal Court is essentially making peace with the mud, giving an explanation to the old Marquis of Qingyang who is fighting in the frontier, and giving Chu Chen some symbolic punishment, so that everyone can live with it.
If Chu Chen refuses to accept it and goes to defend himself, that would be stupid behavior.
Of course, the most important thing is that the punishment in Xianting seems to be severe, but in fact it is not painful or itchy.
Chu Chen broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers and attained the rank of fifth-level immortal. From the fourth-level job as the supervisor of the Nine Provinces, it was no big deal, so he could be exempted from it.
As long as the immortal book is there and the magical power of Taoism is there, when Mr. Mingjing comes to Dabao in a year, he may have hope to move to a higher level and directly assume the position of a fourth-level real-power immortal.
Just after breaking through the realm of great supernatural powers, Chu Chen needed to cultivate for a period of time, practice magic weapons and magical powers, and had no time to worry about the affairs of the Immortal Court.
Compared to Chu Chen, Qingyang Xiaohou Ye Gu Xuanming is in bigger troubles.
His attack on the law-enforcement officials could be serious or trivial. For the sake of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, Immortal Court would not pursue it too closely.
However, the disturbance caused by the God of Yunwu Lake who kidnapped and bullied the demon clan women did not stop at all, but became more and more intense.
In addition to the Qingzhou demon clan's protest, demon clans from all over the Middle Earth and powerful demon clan members belonging to the Immortal Court also spoke out, asking the Immortal Court to pay attention to the issue of "monster discrimination".
Obviously, at this point, the outcome of the Yunwu Lake God's case is no longer important, but has become a flashpoint for the conflicts between the various ethnic groups in China and Turkey.
For this reason, the Celestial Empire and the Immortal Court had to pay attention and introduced a series of measures to appease the demon tribes from all sides who were bent on seeking immortality.
During this process, the Qingyang Marquis Mansion was naturally at the forefront of the storm and was constantly criticized, and Xianting was unable to make peace with it.
As a result, Gu Xuanming's punishment was much heavier than Chu Chen's.
Not only was he exempted from his military duties and fined three years' salary, but he was also deprived of the right to inherit the Marquis of Qingyang. The "Little Marquis of Qingyang" was gone forever.
"The old Marquis is decisive in killing and is worthy of being a veteran in the army."
Chu Chen sighed with emotion. It was obvious that he must have asked the old Marquis for his opinion in order to permanently deprive Gu Xuanming of his inheritance rights. It was even very likely that Qingyang Marquis advocated for it, and asked for "abandoning the car to protect the commander".
Except Chu Chen and Gu Xuanming were punished, Qingying and Roumeng were fine, but Guangping County, Yunlin County Ghosts and Gods Department, and Chenghuang Mansion were the main immortal officials, and the ghosts and gods were reprimanded by the fairy court.
As the governor of Guangping County, Li Guang was in charge of the affairs of demons, demons, and gods in the entire county. Due to his dereliction of duty and incompetence in handling affairs, he was given a serious demerit by the Immortal Court and was punished by being demoted one grade in the performance evaluation.
At this point, things finally came to an end.
Chu Chen's Taoist practice was stable. After recovering from his injuries, he did not stay in Diyuan Cave for a long time and took the little ghost boy out of the cave.
"Senior brother, I have reached the fifth level of Dzogchen. When will I be able to break through?"
In the past, the little ghost would always be very excited when he went out for a walk after seclusion, but this time he was worried.
"Little devil, senior brother does not dislike your low cultivation level. You should practice well, don't be anxious, eat well and sleep well, and you will naturally achieve a breakthrough."
"Well, senior brother is right."
The little devil seemed to have received the "will" and immediately lit a stick of incense. He was worried that it would take only a few breaths, but he said cheerfully:
"Senior brother, you let me eat and drink well."
Chu Chen smiled, didn't say much, and drove the five-color cloud bucket to Zhou Zijing's home in Yunlin County.
The demon women in the Red Mansion at Yunwu Lake were each picked up by their families, but the incident of Yun Niang made people sigh with regret.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, this is it?"
Chu Chen arrived at the ancestral home of Zhou Zijing's hometown, and when his consciousness swept away, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
At this moment, Zhou Zijing was not at all depressed, decadent and sad. His face was full of a happy smile, and he was splashing ink and writing in the study, and his poetry was booming.
What is even more surprising is that there is a beautiful figure next to Zhou Zijing polishing ink for him.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, with their red sleeves adding fragrance, are enviable.
It's not that Zhou Zijing is in love with someone else, the woman next to him is clearly Yun Niang.
To be precise, the fox demon Yun Niang turned into a female ghost after her death. Instead of entering the underworld, she returned to Zhou Zijing.
"She is an infatuated woman."
Chu Chen was touched in his heart. He stretched out his palm and struck Yun Niang with a wave of clear energy.
As the Qing Qi of Qing Ling entered her body, Yun Niang's body trembled, and wisps of evil Qi steamed up. Her whole body became more solid and lifelike, exuding an air of Qing Ling floating all over her body.
This is clearly the "Qing Qi" that Chu Chen brought back from practicing in Nantianmen in the past few days. He originally planned to blend it into the spiritual incense and specially prepared it for the little devil. Now he gave it to Yun Niang to help her cleanse her soul.
Dispel the evil spirit and help her embark on the path of ghost cultivation.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
When Zhou Zijing saw that Yun Niang suddenly behaved strangely, he was startled and hurriedly spoke out.
"Husband, I'm fine. I've met great fortune."
Yun Niang waved her hands, her face was full of excitement, and she immediately looked around. The next moment, she looked up and caught a glimpse of a figure. She immediately handed over her hand and thanked:
"Thank you Chu Du Guan for giving me good fortune!"
"Chu Du Guan? Chu Du Guan is here."
When Zhou Zijing heard this, he understood immediately and followed Yun Niang and raised his head.
However, Chu Chen's figure was nowhere to be seen in the sky above the Zhou family. He had long since disappeared without a trace.
——
"Senior brother, my Qingling Qi is gone, you have to compensate me next time."
"Okay, I'll do it next time."
Chu Chen agreed and said the matter was over. He was in a good mood and rushed towards Guangping County without saying a word.
After breaking through the realm of great supernatural powers, Chu Chen informed his family and masters of the good news one by one.
At present, Master Xu Ping, Chen's father Chen Jiaxian, Master Boyunlei Taoist, second uncle, fourth uncle, senior brother Zhenqing, etc. all asked for leave and rushed back to Guangping County, planning to invite relatives and friends to hold a banquet to celebrate.
This kind of banquet is commonly known as the Great Divine Power Banquet.
Chu Chen devoted himself to cultivation and never liked this kind of welcome and farewell.
However, he did not refuse.
Whether it is a family or a sect, the birth of a monk with great supernatural powers is of great significance.
It is not an exaggeration to say that a small family, a small family, a small family, and a small sect can gain access to a house overnight.
