Qi Yuan thought that by passing the position of head of Emei to Qi Yi, he could retreat behind the scenes, become a chess player, and enjoy endless freedom without having to worry about other trivial matters.
Unfortunately, things in the world often don't go as planned.
Just when he was chatting with his junior sister every day, teasing a few children with nothing to do, and feeling that this was how life should be, an edict came from heaven, interrupting his carefree life.
"Really, is there anything that forces me to go to heaven now?"
Qi Yuan was a little annoyed. He glared at the spiritual official in front of him and said impatiently: "I don't know that I have retired now and don't even interfere in the affairs of the sect. The affairs of the Kitchen God Division are also handled by those gods.
, if you have something to do, you can’t go to them, why do you have to bother me?”
The spiritual official who was ordered to come down to deliver the order had a helpless smile: "Kitchen Lord, it's not the little god who wants to make things difficult. The little god is just following orders and doesn't dare not to come. Please don't make things difficult for the little god."
Spiritual Officers are priests who directly belong to the Jade Emperor. There is not just one. There are five hundred Spiritual Officers in Heaven. Each of them is a person with profound moral principles. They are not only responsible for guarding the Lingxiao Palace, but also have the power to inspect all the gods in Heaven.
Usually these spiritual officials are responsible for reading out the Jade Emperor's decrees, so their status is extremely special. Normally, other gods will be polite to them when they see them.
However, Qi Yuan complained to him a few times, but the spiritual official did not dare to get angry.
After all, Qi Yuan not only held a high and powerful position, but also far surpassed him in moral conduct. More importantly, the Stove Lord was also related to the Jade Emperor, so there was no way that he, a small spiritual official, could offend him.
So he laughed with him here, hoping that Qi Yuan would not embarrass him.
"Hmph, that's all."
Qi Yuan waved his hand helplessly and asked depressedly: "What is it that requires His Majesty to send you to summon me to heaven to discuss it?"
"this……"
The spiritual officer hesitated for a moment and then said: "It is said that it is about the affairs of Tianwaitian."
"Um?"
Qi Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "Tianwaitian?"
"good."
The spiritual official said: "If this were not the case, the Jade Emperor would not send a small god to the lower world to summon the Kitchen King to discuss matters in heaven."
Qi Yuan frowned. Could it be that anything else could happen in the sky?
Didn't it mean that it would take at least several thousand years for a war to start? Why is there a conflict now?
"What exactly happened?"
Qi Yuan wanted to know more clearly.
"This little god doesn't know."
The Lingguan replied helplessly: "The little god is just an errand deliverer. How could he understand such an important matter so clearly?"
Although his status can be regarded as the special envoy of the Jade Emperor, in the final analysis, his priesthood is not too high. It is just because he is a close official of the Jade Emperor that he has heard some vague rumors, but the specific details will definitely not be known to him.
In particular, this matter is related to Tianwaitian, and it is even more impossible for the senior officials of Heaven to spread it casually, otherwise it will cause panic among the people of the three realms, which will not be good for Heaven.
Relatively speaking, the Jade Emperor and other high-level officials are still more willing to keep the Three Realms stable, and let the Three Realms Qigong Practitioners practice well before the battlefields outside the territory are fought, and take the opportunity to cultivate a large number of gods.
Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly. Since he couldn't get any details from the official, he'd better go to Heaven first and meet the Jade Emperor.
Nowadays, his status can be regarded as a high-ranking power in heaven. If something big happens, he should be called over to participate in it, both emotionally and rationally.
Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, after finally being stable for a few days, he had to leave home and run around again, but Tianwaitian's affairs were extremely important, and he could not allow him to hide behind and enjoy his leisurely life.
So Qi Yuan explained to Yang Chan, got up and followed Lingguan straight into Jiutian, flying towards the Nantian Gate.
…………
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor sits high on the jade platform, with thrones on both sides. Near the Jade Emperor sit the Qinghua Emperor of the East Pole, the Changsheng Emperor of the Antarctic, the Ziwei Emperor of the North Pole, and the Gouchen Emperor of the West.
The Six Imperial Guards reached five, and only Empress Chengtian followed suit and did not show up.
Empress Houtu controls the movement of the underworld and reincarnation. Although she is powerful, she is unwilling to participate in the power disputes in heaven, so she will not set foot in heaven easily. Besides, it is far from the time to really start a war with outsiders. With the Jade Emperor here,
There was no chaos in the Three Realms, so she didn't show up.
When the war with the outside world actually breaks out, this empress will certainly not stay out of it.
In the main hall, in addition to several great emperors, there are also a large group of high-level immortals from heaven, including the Golden Spirit Holy Mother who is in charge of the Zhoutian Starry Formation, the Fu Yuan Immortal who is in charge of the marriage of all living beings, the Righteous God who is in charge of the Eight Departments, and so on.
Even the Barefoot Immortal, who usually likes to travel around and play games in the human world, and many other heavenly powers who often stay in seclusion, all appeared in the Lingxiao Palace one by one.
Because the matter being discussed today is relatively important, ordinary gods were not summoned to participate in it. All those who came to participate in this discussion were powerful immortals with high authority or profound magical powers.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor did not put on airs, and early ordered the attendants in the palace to arrange thrones for all the gods present to sit down and discuss matters.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful for the six emperors to sit down and let those powerful people stand.
Especially for powerful people like the Barefoot Immortal, although they belong to the Heavenly Court, they do not hold any official positions in the Heavenly Court. Instead, they exist like guest ministers and are not completely ministers of the Heavenly Court, so they still have to have the respect they deserve.
, otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if it made people dissatisfied and walked away!
For such a powerful person, it is not necessary to practice in heaven.
It is precisely for this reason that not only the Queen Mother will invite these powerful immortals, but also the Jade Emperor, every time she holds a peach banquet, and she will also entertain them occasionally when she is free.
Although these people don't care about anything or make trouble on weekdays, they can still serve the Heavenly Court at critical moments.
At this moment, all the powerful gods in heaven have gathered in Lingxiao Palace.
After all, these immortals all live in the heaven, so it is easier to summon them. Only Qi Yuan stays in the lower realm all year round, and requires the spirit officer to summon him personally, which is a bit troublesome.
So when Qi Yuan came to the Lingxiao Palace from the lower realm, Patriarch Gouli, who was sitting next to Immortal Fu Yuan, curled his lips and said, "Master Si Ming Zao is such a big arrogant person that he wants all the powerful gods in heaven to wait for you like this.
Long time!"
Qi Yuan glanced at him lightly and ignored him. Instead, he first paid homage to the Jade Emperor and a group of high-level powerful gods in heaven.
Then he said calmly: "From what Senior Gou Li said, could it be that when I didn't come, you guys hadn't started discussing the matter yet, and you were all waiting for me to come before we could discuss it?"
Haha, when did I, Qi, become so proud? I didn’t expect that I, a god who is lazy and ignores affairs, could actually have all the high-level officials in heaven waiting for me to discuss matters. I am really flattered!
"
"snort!"
Ancestor Gou Li snorted angrily and said nothing more.
Of course things were not as Qi Yuan said, and the gods certainly would not wait for him to come before starting discussions. Qi Yuan did not have such a big face.
"Okay, since Mr. Si Ming Zao is here, let's take a seat first and let's continue to discuss things."
The Jade Emperor gave a gentle dissuasion and signaled Qi Yuan to take a seat first and not to continue making trouble, so as not to miss important events.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When facing the Jade Emperor, Qi Yuan has always been good-tempered and has never been at odds with the Jade Emperor. Otherwise, if he were like Gou Li Ancestor and the others, they would suffer a big loss sooner or later, and they might even end up dead without a burial.
place.
Qi Yuan stood up and sat down below the Golden Spirit Mother.
He was the last one to come, and now there is only one empty throne left, so of course he has to sit here.
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit glanced at him, nodded slightly, and then sent a message to tell him what happened.
After Qi Yuan heard this, he understood the whole story.
It turns out that since those beings from the extraterrestrial world came to the void outside the prehistoric world a few years ago, they would not listen and wander around, testing the strength of the Zhoutian Star Formation.
Naturally, Heaven cannot let this go.
Since these guys appeared with the demons, they have obviously decided to form an alliance and will definitely be hostile in the future.
In this case, there is no need to let them do whatever they want. Otherwise, if these guys are allowed to continue unscrupulously, they may really think that the prehistoric world can be bullied.
However, before the Jade Emperor could make up his mind on how to deal with them, news came from the sky.
The Six Saints of the Ancient World each opened a dojo in Tianwaitian, and each of their sects also had some disciples following them.
Although the number of disciples around the other saints is not as large as the disciples of Tongtian Cult Leader Shangqingtian, under the careful teaching of the saints, they are all very strong in Taoism.
These disciples do not stay in the saint's dojo to practice every day. From time to time, they will send a few out to inspect the situation outside the territory.
In the past, when they encountered powerful forces from other forces, if they were sure they could win, they would usually kill them directly.
If you are not sure, just retreat directly. Anyway, under normal circumstances, even if Daluo Jinxian is in the void outside the sky, it will be difficult to catch up with Jinxian's escape light in a short time, so as long as they are not carefully designed by the powerful outsiders,
Traps are not too dangerous.
Even the demons would not chase them easily. Otherwise, if they really chased them outside the saint's dojo and were slapped to death by those saints, it would be a bloody misfortune.
But this time it's different.
This time, among the powerful people from outside the realm, except for the two great devil kings from the demon world, the rest are all powerful people from other worlds.
These guys are obviously dominating existences in their respective worlds. Some big worlds have even conquered all the worlds in a certain area, and can be regarded as starry sky overlords.
Therefore, among these powerful men from other worlds, there are quite a few who are arrogant and domineering. Even when they faced the two great demon kings, their words contained a lot of contempt.
They felt that the demon world had been right with the prehistoric world for so long, and it was just that they didn't take advantage in the end. Now they couldn't even attack the prehistoric world, and they still needed to find powerful worlds like them to come to help. It was really useless.
It's not like their world, where each of them has captured a star region, becomes the king and hegemony, and does whatever they want.
That is to say, they still have some scruples about the innate demon god Luo Hu, the ancestor of the demon clan, otherwise they would have been unwilling to pay attention to these two demon kings.
Maybe these guys are used to being arrogant in their respective worlds. After accidentally meeting several demon masters who came out of the heaven of creation of Nuwa, they actually directly provoked them with arrogant words and domineering attitudes, as if they didn't care about the ancient world.
The attitude the world takes in its eyes.
Of course, there is some element of showmanship in it. The main purpose should be to have a battle with these powerful monsters and test the strength of the powerful people in the prehistoric world.
Originally, the powerful ones from the Demon Clan had planned to retreat when they saw so many of them, but they did not expect that a few guys from the outside world were particularly mean-mouthed. Although their words did not insult Nuwa, there were also insinuations.
meaning.
As a result, those demon clan powerful men immediately became angry.
They were all protected by Empress Nuwa a long time ago, so they have been able to survive all the catastrophes to this day, and under the guidance of Empress Nuwa, they have achieved their current Taoist cultivation. For Empress Nuwa,
Respect is as high as heaven and earth, how can we tolerate enemies from outside the land speaking nonsense.
As a result, a war inevitably started.
It's a pity that although the powers of the demon clan are strong, the beings on the other side are not weak either. After all, they are all powers born from the great world created by the innate gods and demons, and each has amazing magical powers.
Although both sides were evenly matched at the beginning, they could not withstand the overwhelming numbers of the other side. As the other side gained a general understanding of their strength and magical powers, they began to besiege them.
Soon, those powerful demon clan men were at a disadvantage.
If the fluctuations in their fighting skills hadn't spread too far in the void, alerting the powerful Jie Jiao who was patrolling the void, they might not have been able to escape the fate of being beaten to death.
Even so, even though several powerful men from Jie Jiao came to rescue them, they were still outnumbered and all the people in the group suffered injuries of varying severity.
Especially for those powerful monsters, their injuries were even more serious. One of them even had his body corroded by the opponent's strange methods, and his original aura was only protected by his companions. There was no way to recover from such serious injuries, and he could only reincarnate.
Renovated.
With such a big thing happening, just relying on the power of those saints' monasteries outside the world will definitely not let it go.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to let the other party beat one of your own to death at the door of your own house, and then turn a blind eye and let the other party be arrogant.
But just as the powerful men from several Saint Dojos were about to join forces to surround and suppress these powerful men from the outside world, they suddenly discovered that reinforcements had arrived from the other side.
The number of people is actually greater than the power of the saint's dojo.
Of course, a large part of them are elite Taoist soldiers from the major worlds outside the territory, and it is impossible for all of them to be golden immortals.
These are elite forces sent in advance by various means from the major worlds, preparing to open up a territory in the void and serve as a bridgehead for subsequent large forces.
