Over the past hundreds of years, the Emei Sword Sect has maintained a vigorous development and grown rapidly, which made Qi Yuan very satisfied.
When Bingfeng Zitong said he wanted to return to his ancestral land to seek opportunities, he did not refuse and directly agreed.
With the current strength of the Emei Sword Sect, no one really dares to make trouble, so Zi Tong, the mountain guardian elder, has nothing to do on weekdays.
And he also understood Zi Tong's eagerness to break through the realm. After all, even the Linghe clan had several people who had achieved immortality, which invisibly put a lot of pressure on her.
Although in terms of combat power, she is much stronger than those cranes, she is still in the same realm after all.
In this way, she has been watching the progress of others. Even Qi Yi, who had not yet become an immortal, has already become a Taiyi Xuanxian. As a member of the arrogant Phoenix clan, she naturally feels a lot of pressure.
Qi Yuan felt that it was a good thing that she could feel the pressure, which meant that Zi Tong had regarded Mount Emei as her own home, so she wanted to achieve a higher level of Taoism to match her status as an elder who protects the mountain.
Moreover, Qi Yuan also had other thoughts swirling in his mind.
Previously, Holy Emperor Fuxi and Zulong made an oath of heaven to each other. With the existence of this oath, when a catastrophe occurs in the future, the human and dragon clans can cooperate to a certain extent and increase the chance of surviving the catastrophe.
.
Since the human race can cooperate with the dragon clan, why can't they also establish some relations with the Phoenix clan.
The emperor of the human race can be protected by the aura of a true dragon, so can the queen also be protected by the aura of the phoenix?
In the ancient times, the overall strength of the Phoenix clan was inferior to that of the Dragon clan. After the First Tribulation of Longhan, the three clans retired to recuperate, accumulate strength, and leave the ancient land to other clans to rule.
However, the Phoenix and Kirin clans are not as good as the Dragon clan in terms of procreating children, making friends with all parties, and developing their own power.
After the Phoenix and Qilin clans retired to seclusion, they did a more thorough job and gave up control of the sky and the earth respectively. Except for a few ethnic groups scattered in all directions to provide their ancestral land with some news about the three realms, they no longer have any influence at all.
But the Dragon Clan is different. They have never given up their identity and power as the Lords of the Four Seas from beginning to end. Even in these countless years, they have extended their influence to all waters on the ancient land.
A large number of direct or collateral dragon clans occupy countless waters, and each has a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under their command. In terms of strength, they are much stronger than the Phoenix and Kirin clans.
As old enemies for countless years, it is impossible for the Phoenix and Kirin clans to be unaware of the current development situation of the Dragon clan, but they cannot cultivate their power as wantonly as the Dragon clan.
Because both the sky and the earth have their own owners.
In ancient times, the demon clan controlled the sky and the witch clan controlled the earth. The two Phoenix and Qilin clans, which have not yet recovered from the Longhan Tribulation and have lost the blessing of heaven, would not be able to compete with the Lich clan for the sky and the earth.
of control.
Needless to say now, Daozu Hongjun directly sent two powerful men, the Jade Emperor Haotian and Golden Mother Yaochi, to sit in heaven and take charge of the power of the three realms. The Phoenix clan would never dare to have any thoughts, otherwise it would not be obvious that they were following Daozu Hongjun.
Get it right.
Among the human races on the earth, there are also Fuxi and other three holy emperors guarding them, and the Qilin clan also does not dare to mess around.
Only Sihai, because there has never been a water tribe born that can replace the dragon tribe, the four seas have always been under the control of the dragon tribe.
Qi Yuan felt that with the prosperity and longevity of the human race, if an olive branch was offered at the right time, the Phoenix clan would definitely take it.
Otherwise, we can only watch helplessly as the Dragon Clan becomes stronger and stronger, and the gap between them becomes wider and wider. Who knows whether the Dragon Clan will have a war with them again in the future.
After all, in the ancient times, the hatred between the three tribes was too great. Those powerful men of the three tribes who survived by chance are still alive. Under the influence of these ancestors, the descendants of the three tribes will inevitably
Hate each other.
If the Phoenix clan forms an alliance with the human race, at least there will be no danger of annihilation. This alone is enough to make the Phoenix clan's heart flutter.
A few months after Zitong left, the time came to the end of the year and Qi Yuan went to heaven.
Since he became a Golden Immortal in the Fire Cloud Cave, he has spent most of his time practicing in the cave and improving his Taoism. He rarely goes out. Many affairs in the Stove God Division are also handled by subordinate gods.
But not showing up for many years is not a problem. Now that his entry has slowed down, he has nothing else to do in the mountains except spending time with his wife and entertaining the children, and occasionally explaining the practice of swordsmanship to his disciples. Being idle is also idle.
Now, I just want to go to heaven to handle some official business, and by the way, I can also go to inquire about the affairs of Tianwaitian from the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.
So after he said hello to Yang Chan, with the two little girls obviously reluctant to leave, but secretly happy in their hearts, he used Sword Escape to fly straight into the nine heavens.
It wasn't until Qi Yuan was completely invisible that the two little girls let out a sigh of relief.
It was actually too boring to be forced by Qi Yuan to recite Taoist scriptures during this period, but they did not dare to be lazy in front of Qi Yuan, so they felt very boring.
Now that they saw Qi Yuan leaving, the two of them suddenly became elated and secretly figured out where to go to have some fun.
"You two, come in and study with me."
Just when they were secretly happy, they suddenly heard Yang Chan say this.
"ah?"
The two little girls were immediately dumbfounded.
Qi Lingyun quickly ran over and hugged her mother's legs and acted coquettishly: "Mother, sister Ling'er and I have been working hard recently. We have read a lot of Taoist scriptures."
"Yeah?"
Yang Chan looked at them with a half-smile.
"Uh huh huh!"
The two little girls nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's true."
"That's good."
Yang Chan had a look of praise on her face: "It just so happens that my mother is here to give you a test and see if you have memorized the Taoist scriptures you have read recently. If there is anything you don't understand, my mother will explain it to you so that you don't have to worry about it.
If you have any doubts in your mind, go and go back."
With that said, he turned around and walked into the cave.
"..."
The two little girls stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. In the end, they could only sigh and followed Yang Chan back dejectedly.
Although Yang Chan didn't control them very strictly and doted on them on weekdays, he would not let them fall behind in their practice. Occasionally, he would take exams for school, but he didn't expect that he would choose this time to suddenly let them play.
The plan was ruined.
…………
A ray of sword light passed through the void extremely fast and landed outside the Nantian Gate, revealing Qi Yuan's figure.
As soon as Moli Qing, who was originally sitting inside Tianmen, saw Qi Yuan, he quickly stood up and came out to greet him.
As the Heavenly King who guards the Heavenly Gate, he also has a group of heavenly soldiers and generals under his command. There are not many gods entering and exiting the Heavenly Gate on weekdays, so usually, the soldiers and generals under his command guard the Heavenly Gate, and most of them will not show up in person.
However, treating Qi Yuan is of course different.
As Mo Liqing strode out of the Heavenly Gate, he said with a hearty smile: "Haha, Lord Zao, I haven't been to Heaven for some years."
"The king is welcome."
Qi Yuan also had a smile on his face and bowed his head: "I have been cultivating in the lower realm these years, and it is true that I rarely come to heaven. Nothing major has happened in heaven in recent years, right?"
"Nothing big happened."
Mo Liqing shook his head, then approached Qi Yuan and whispered: "But I heard that Fu Yuan Immortal has seduced the ancestors and his disciples, and there have been many small moves recently.
There have even been many people in the lower realm in recent years, but they all have official duties, so it's hard for me to interfere with them. It's just that the number of people in the lower realm has been too many, and that's when I became aware of it.
However, I have read their official documents a few times, and they are just trivial matters, but they can still be used by gods like them. There must be some conspiracy in it. If Zao Lord is interested, you might as well pay attention to it."
"oh?"
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows. He never thought that now, Fu Yuan Immortal and others are still jumping up and down. Are they not afraid of being caught by the Jade Emperor?
He nodded: "Okay, I have written this down and will pay attention to it in the future."
Afterwards, he chatted with Mo Liqing for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving.
This is the benefit of having a wide network of people, because you have a good relationship with the four heavenly kings. If they find anything wrong, they will naturally tell you.
Qi Yuan pondered all the way until he returned to Kitchen God Division, but he still didn't think clearly about the plans of Fu Yuan Xianweng and others.
But thinking about it, it shouldn't cause any big waves. After all, there are many gods in the sky. Except for a few gods who are not strong due to special reasons, there are powerful gods in other ministries and departments, including Dou Mu Yuanjun.
Mansion, in charge of Zhoutianxingdou.
Over the years, the authority of Fuyuan Immortal and others has been greatly weakened by the Jade Emperor for various reasons. Their power is far less than before. Although their status in the heaven is not dispensable, it is similar.
Qi Yuan felt that they might just be doing some self-protection and they should not cause any big trouble.
"My subordinates pay their respects to Lord Zao."
Just after arriving at Kitchen God Division, some subordinates who saw Qi Yuan hurriedly paid their respects.
Soon, the gods who presided over various affairs in the Kitchen God Department also came to pay homage.
Each of these guys had a look of joy on their faces.
After all, Qi Yuan has not returned to the Kitchen God Division for a long time. In his absence, although the other gods can maintain the operation of the Kitchen God Division, they have no backbone in their hearts and always feel a little weak when doing things.
Moreover, their strength is not strong, so they can only manage various affairs on weekdays. Once they have some verbal conflicts with some gods with strong personalities, they often have no choice but to give in and compromise.
Although if something really happens, they can go to some of Zao Lord's elders to help them, but they can't bother others with just any trivial matter.
So these guys have long been looking forward to Qi Yuan's return to heaven. Now that they see him, they naturally feel at ease.
After Qi Yuan listened to these subordinate gods reporting various matters, and then listening to them complaining to him about the grievances they had suffered during his absence, Qi Yuan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
After all, these guys' backgrounds are relatively low, and they are all selected from among the spiritual chefs. None of them are from orthodox Qi Refiner backgrounds. Facing those powerful gods, it is inevitable that some will be weak.
He smiled and said: "If you encounter those arrogant people in the future, fight them all back. This is heaven, there is no need to be afraid that they dare to attack you.
Besides, even if we really take action, don’t we, the Kitchen God Division, still have two dragons? We’ll bring them in to beat them back. What are you afraid of? If something goes wrong, I will support you.”
After hearing this, several subordinate gods in charge were happy.
With Zao Lord's words, they no longer have to suffer that anger.
Qi Yuan also lamented that there were so many gods, and they were of all kinds. Wherever they went, there were inevitably some people who couldn't understand what they were doing. They always felt that others owed them. They knew that the Kitchen God was their own territory, but they still insisted on seeking bad luck.
.
However, he then thought about it, maybe those guys were instigated by others, and others knew their temperament, and maybe they deliberately let them come to the Kitchen God Division to cause some trouble.
