Chapter 858: The pinnacle of immortality is full of vicissitudes
Chu Chen's escape skills are so good that even if he doesn't deliberately hide his aura, it would be difficult for others to see his true cultivation.
That is to say, only the elders of the sect, or people whose Taoist cultivation level is one level higher than him, can see something. These days, Chu Chen is walking around in the Demon Academy, and there are only a few people who can really get a glimpse of the depth of his cultivation level.
.
Because of this, when Chu Chen sat on the deputy minister's throne in the Libu Council Hall, there were many exclamations in the hall, and everyone's eyes were in disbelief.
Chu Chen smiled slightly and no longer covered it up. Hundreds of gods appeared in his body, and the gods stood in wait.
At this moment, Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting on the seat, and his whole figure looked like a giant beast from the wild, terrifying, depressing, and domineering.
"boom!"
There were exclamations of surprise again in the hall, and many people may have seen Chu Chen's strength, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"The fourth level of Dzogchen, no, I must have practiced the super level method..."
Taoist Feilong, Master Li Guang's uncle and nephew looked at each other, not able to believe it, and unwilling to believe that all this was true.
Three years ago, Chu Chen was only in the middle stage of the fourth stage. In just a few years, he not only entered the late stage of the fourth stage, but even reached the perfection of the fourth stage Daoxing Kung Fu. This cultivation kung fu is three points more exaggerated than the practice of magic arts. Taoist Feilong, Li
Guang naturally didn't like Chu Chen's kindness, and subconsciously felt that Chu Chen had practiced evil skills and evil methods, and that was why he had such Taoist cultivation.
As a result, the unwilling two people's consciousness fell on Chu Chen, trying to catch clues from Chu Chen's aura that he was practicing evil skills and heresy.
However, to their disappointment, Chu Chen's aura was peaceful, and his whole body exuded Xuanmen magic. Not to mention a trace of evil energy, he didn't even have any impetuous energy.
In fact, the three rays of energy in Chu Chen's body and Tianxin's magic power were purer than before, faintly echoing the magic power in their bodies.
Li Guang couldn't help but send a message with his spiritual consciousness: "Uncle Master, did Chu Chen get the method of our Tianxin lineage from somewhere? I always feel that he has an inexplicable aura about him."
Taoist Feilong looked extremely ugly and felt inexplicably irritable.
Chu Chen's Taoist practice has improved rapidly, and he is suspected to have inherited the Tianxin lineage. If this continues, everything will be bad.
In the world of spiritual practice, Taoism and cultivation are the most convincing.
After showing off his extraordinary fourth-grade Taoist cultivation, all the demon elders and deacons in the hall did not have any doubts. Chu Chen introduced himself, and after a brief appearance, he officially became the deputy minister of the fourth grade, ranking in the Li Department.
fourth.
This "fourth" is just ranked according to old and new qualifications, behind Taoist Feilong and Taoist Konggu. In fact, the status of the three is similar, and there is no distinction between them.
The three of them are all alternate elders of the Central Presbyterian Council, holding the rank of fourth-grade immortal. Their levels are all the same. Even the division of labor is actually similar.
Taoist Feilong has the deepest cultivation level and the most senior qualifications. He is in charge of Class 1 and Class 2 of the Li Bu. When the Master is not in the Li Bu, he takes charge of the Li Bu on behalf of the Master. He is the real second-in-command of the Li Bu, with a slightly higher status. He has been in Konggushan for three years.
In the late stage of the first four levels, he was only one step away from the Great Perfection. In the past two years, he had reached the fourth level of Dzogchen and practiced the super-level method. His strength was extraordinary. Now he is in charge of the third and fourth classes of the Li Department;
As the newly promoted deputy minister, Chu Chen naturally cannot take over the errands of the other two vice ministers.
As a result, Master Huixin transferred some deacons from the remaining four squads, and asked Xianting for people to form the fifth and sixth squads of Libu, and put them in charge of Chu Chen.
In fact, the specific tasks performed by the Demonic Elder and the Deputy Minister are similar, which is nothing more than subduing demons.
However, after becoming the leader of the Ministry and having subordinate departments in charge, his demon deacons slayed demons and demons. As the deputy minister in charge, he strategized and commanded appropriately, so he naturally deserves credit.
In other words, even if Chu Chen didn't kill a demon with great supernatural powers, serve as the deacon of the demon, or the demon envoy to slay demons and eliminate demons, he would still have performed meritorious deeds every month.
Although demons are raging in the eight southwest states, there are always only a few demons with great supernatural powers killed, and most of the demons killed are fifth grade and below.
Becoming the deputy minister of the Li Ministry is equivalent to ensuring the harvest despite droughts and floods.
It's much more comfortable than the previous "Elder of the Demon".
Of course, there are many benefits after promotion.
The corresponding responsibilities are also greater. Whenever you encounter difficult problems, just wait for Chu Chen, Taoist Feilong and other deputy ministers to come.
After the morning meeting, Chu Chen moved into a side courtyard of the Libu compound and officially joined the core leadership of the Libu compound of the Demonic Academy.
This is indeed a happy event.
However, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Class 5 and Class 6 are starting from the Ministry. Everything is lacking, especially people. There are very few available people. The Konggushan people are quite interesting.
At noon that day, he transferred manpower from the third and fourth squads of the Libu Department that he was in charge of and sent them to Chu Chen. Among them were many deacons and demon envoys who had good performance and were rated as top-notch in the evaluation.
This is because Chu Chen and Konggu Shanren have a good relationship. In addition, Chu Chen’s strength is improving rapidly and his journey to immortality is far-reaching. Konggu Shanren is more and more willing to get close to him and take the initiative to show his goodwill.
It was different for Taoist Feilong. The manpower allocated to Chu Chen were all from the first and second squadrons of the Li Department.
After handing the person over, Taoist Feilong was probably secretly happy.
"Senior brother, that Taoist Feilong is really bad. After my senior brother achieves great supernatural powers, he must go to the restaurants of the Northern and Southern Tianxin sects to let them know who is the authentic Tianxin sect."
The little devil was jealous of evil, holding the roster in his hand, pouted, and muttered something.
Chu Chen smiled, and just as he was about to say something, a message from his spiritual consciousness came to his ears.
Immediately, he smiled slightly and stood up to greet him.
"Old Han!"
In a flash, Han Chen's figure appeared in the courtyard.
"Ling Xiao, congratulations!"
Han Chen cupped his hands to congratulate and said congratulations, but he couldn't hide the complicated emotions on his face:
"Hey~ It's only been three years, how come you have become the deputy director of the Li Department? I didn't join the Li Department with you at the beginning, otherwise you would be my boss now."
Although Han Chen was joking, he was still a little disappointed.
A subordinate who was once a subordinate suddenly climbed above him. Even though Han Chen was open-minded and casual, he still felt a little unhappy at this moment.
When the little devil heard this, he was always upright and serious. Without thinking, he blurted out: "Brother Han, what you said is wrong. Everyone is affiliated with the Demon Academy. Even if you are in the earthquake department, my senior brother is also your superior."
, you still have to salute my senior brother."
Han Chen: "..."
"Hahahaha~"
"Tongyanwuji, Lao Han, it is still a child, don't be like it..."
Chu Chen smiled and took Han Chen to sit down at the octagonal pavilion in the courtyard, boiling water to make tea, and chatting with Han Chen. Speaking of which, Han Chen's Taoist cultivation has been quite gratifying in the past three years. Although his cultivation has not been promoted to the later stage,
However, he had great Taoist and magical powers, defeated the strong with the weak, and killed a late fourth-level monster with great magical powers, which made him famous, and he had gained quite a reputation.
A year ago, the Immortal Central Elders Council added him as an alternate elder, and finally half-stepped into the Immortal Central Elders.
Han Chen took a sip of the spiritual tea produced by Diyuan Dragon Palace and was quite satisfied and said:
"Ling Xiao, how do you feel about returning to the Demonic Academy and serving as the deputy director of the fourth rank?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "It's not bad, but the people under his command are all good and bad. There are only a few big cats and two small cats." "Everything is difficult at the beginning, it's normal."
Han Chen smiled, knowing quite a bit about it, and said: "The troops assigned to you by the Ministry are definitely not good. The deployment in Immortal Court is purely based on luck. In my opinion, you might as well mobilize your former colleagues and subordinates yourself.
Come and help you."
"That's what I'm planning on doing."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. Over the years, he had served as the head of the Taoist Academy, had been in charge of local affairs many times, had countless disciples and former officials, and had no shortage of connections.
In fact, even if Han Chen didn't say anything, he would contact her later.
Han Chen saw Chu Chen deep in thought and looking calculating. He might have guessed something and said with a smile, "Ling Xiao, looking at you, it seems like you really don't know."
Chu Chen was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Han Chen's words: "Old Han, what do you know?" Han Chen did not whet his appetite and explained:
"Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, little monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others have transferred to the Demon Academy. You
If you have a good relationship with them, you can bring them to Libu to help you."
"They also transferred to the Demon Academy?"
Chu Chen had a look of astonishment on his face. In the past three years, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he summoned the Dragon and Tiger Emperors to take revenge. He did not visit relatives or friends to avoid implicating others.
Because of this, he didn't pay much attention to the current situation of his former friends.
In fact, when he was short of manpower, the first thing he thought of was Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping and the others, but he was a little worried. After all, the Demon Academy was more dangerous than the local Ghosts and Gods Division.
But now, his former friends and colleagues came to the Wanmoyuan, and he invited them, so he had no scruples.
That night, Cangzhou City, Manyun Restaurant.
Chu Chen met Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, Yuantong Monk, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others. Friends and colleagues in the past gathered together, and both sides were quite sad and surprised.
The reason why Chu Chen was surprised was because the five of them, Wang Ping, had been honing their skills in the wild land over the years, and each of them had greatly improved their cultivation, breaking through to the fifth level one after another.
Even Lin Miaoyin, who had the lowest level of cultivation before, had broken through the fifth level of Taoism and was quite powerful. Of course, compared to Chu Chen, the ones who were really surprised were Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping and the others. Seven years ago,
They were extremely shocked when they learned that Chu Chen had become one of the great supernatural powers. But now, they were shocked to learn from Han Chen that Chu Chen had become a fourth-level immortal official and was promoted to the deputy director of the Departure Department of the Demon Academy.
Over the years, they have traveled to the local Ghosts and Gods Department and the Demon Academy, and have gained extraordinary insights. Naturally, they understand what it means to be the deputy director of the Eight Demon Divisions.
Being qualified to serve as "Deputy Minister" indicates that even among those with great supernatural powers, Chu Chen is one of the top ones and has truly reached the pinnacle of the spiritual world.
Perhaps the news was too shocking, even if
Wang Ping, who had always been "familiar", became a little reserved. Instead of holding hands and calling each other brothers as usual, he swallowed and asked:
"Ling Xiao...are you one of the top cultivators with great magical powers right now? What level are you at among the cultivators with great magical powers?"
Xuan Lingzi, Monk Yuantong, Qian Sangua, Lin Miaoyin and others were also quite curious and looked at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen is not a person who likes to show off his force and brag to his friends. However, this time he not only chatted with his friends, but also recruited assistants. He pondered for a while and said with a smile:
"I can't say that I have top-level magical powers, but I am worthy of anyone with my third-grade magical powers or below!" These words may seem light and frivolous, but anyone with a little discernment can hear the strong confidence revealed in them.
Han Chen couldn't help but look sideways when he heard this, and was greatly surprised.
Not to mention Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and the others.
Qian Sangua played with the copper coins in his hands and said with emotion: "I still think about one day reaching the realm of great supernatural powers and catching up. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up in this life."
Monk Yuantong shook his head: "Amitabha~Three Hexagrams, I'm afraid you are overthinking. Maybe one day Ling Xiao will attain enlightenment and fly to the sky, but you haven't broken through to become a great god yet."
"Hahahaha~"
Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and the atmosphere of joy filled the elegant rooms of the restaurant.
Monk Yuantong's joke suddenly brought everyone closer together, as if they were transported back to the days when we worked together in Guangping County, Qingzhou. The atmosphere was quite good.
During the banquet, Chu Chen mentioned that Li's army was short of people and asked Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and others to help him. The five of them did not hesitate and agreed without saying a word. They were very happy.
Wang Ping, in particular, was the most lively. He said that he came to the Demon Court just because of Chu Chen. He was just waiting for this day, shouting "Don't forget Yun Yun if you want to be rich and noble."
After a banquet, the guests enjoyed themselves.
Wang Ping and the other five acted vigorously and resolutely. After the banquet, they planned to go back to their respective ministries to apply for transfer and defect to Chu Chen.
The high platform of Manyun Restaurant.
The strong wind is blowing, and the clothes are rustling.
Han Chen looked at the departing figures of the five people, looked at the brightly lit Cangzhou City, and said with a smile: "Ling Xiao, with their help and contacting a few former colleagues, you will soon be able to stand firm in the Li Department.
heel."
"Hmm~"
Chu Chen nodded slightly, with a complicated expression.
Getting together with friends is a great and joyful event.
At first, he was very excited to see his former friends and colleagues, but afterwards, he felt a little melancholy for no reason.
People are still the same people.
However, for some reason, he and Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi and others lost their topic of conversation and became estranged.
Although he was chatting and laughing happily during the greetings, after parting, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely in his heart. He was clearly close to him, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel lost!
Seeing that Chu Chen was silent, Han Chen probably guessed something and felt the same way, saying: "Ling Xiao, the strong are destined to be lonely. There are many friends in life who are destined not to accompany you to the end. This is not something you can change.
, I used to be just like you. My brothers and sisters who were doing homework at the same time were all left far behind by me, and I had fewer and fewer friends."
After saying that, Han Chen sighed heavily.
This sigh is full of vicissitudes of life and emotion.
Chu Chen looked sideways and saw that Han Chen was touched, his eyes full of sighs, and he immediately smiled. For a moment, he felt much better.
After all, compared to Han Chen, he has Ying'er as his companion, so he is no better than Han Chen.
After some comparisons, Chu Chen felt relieved. He thought of something and asked with a smile:
"Old Han, you must have something to do when you come to see me today. Otherwise, according to your temperament, you will definitely not come to this banquet."
Han Chen nodded when he heard this. Perhaps he remembered something, and his face showed excitement:
"That's right, I got a lot from you in Qingyou Demon Realm last time. This time I have a good thing for you."
