Coming out of the palace garden, Chu Chen shook his head, feeling quite sad.
Half a year later, Mr. Ming Jing sighed to him again - he was still as comfortable as when he was in charge of the eight states in the southwest.
Chu Chen believed this.
At that time, Mr. Ming Jing, as the crown prince, was in charge of the military and political affairs of the eight southwest states. With great power in his hands, he sent his troops south and west to expand the territory. He really swallowed mountains and rivers with high spirits and showed the heroic spirit of a man.
Although there were times when he suffered heavy losses and suffered defeats during the war in SAARC, his generals, local officials, and the Department of Ghosts and Gods all united around him, united in dealing with the outside world, worked together, and started a career bit by bit.
With the united efforts, the eight states in southwest China are changing with each passing day. The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in this is difficult for outsiders to understand. Chu Chen participated in it and has a deep understanding and empathy.
And now, although Mr. Ming Jing has ascended to the great treasure, holds the divine weapon in his hand, ascends to the highest throne in the world, and has all the power over the world. It seems that everyone in the world is at his disposal, but in fact, he cannot easily trust others.
Everyone in the court, no matter who they are, has their own position and their own little ninety-nine. They may all be greedy and be bewitched by their inner demons, which may lead to treasonous behavior.
Just like Marquis Tianyi, he was born in Fengming Marquis Mansion. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was rich and favored.
With Nie Zhen's Taoist cultivation and power, if he can conscientiously make achievements on the battlefield, he will be promoted to a god in the future, either in this term or in the next term, and he will be a sure shot.
However, the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
Even though Tianyi Hou Nie Zhen was in such a condition, he was greedy to open up the [Xuan Guan Yi] and attempted to reach a higher realm of Taoism. He committed the rebellious act of hiding dragon veins secretly and stealing the country and enriching himself.
There are many things going on here, not just Marquis Tianyi, but many people.
Mr. Mirror has experienced this more than once or twice over the years.
As the saying goes, there is nothing better than being alone.
In fact, Mr. Mingjing's own abilities are quite good. Under his rule over the years, the Dachang Dynasty has steadily improved, and his control over the court and the Immortal Court has also steadily improved. Compared with the emperors of the same period, he is definitely superior. choice.
However, the previous term left him with a lot of mess, and also left a hidden pit due to the inheritance of the artifact. Coupled with the external challenges from the Demon Court and the Extraterrestrial Demon Realm, Mr. Ming Jing faced a complicated situation and much greater pressure than the previous emperors. .
"Mr. Mirror, it's really not easy."
Chu Chen shook his head and sighed in his heart.
Speaking of which, during this meeting, Mr. Ming Jing had a heart-to-heart relationship with him and considered him a confidant.
This also means that he will officially join the inner circle of Dachang Tianchao.
In less than a month, Master Yulou will step down from his position as the Chief Elder of the Central Presbytery of the Immortal Courtyard and the Celestial Master of the Immortal Courtyard, and will take the rotation elsewhere. Mr. Mingjing’s position is now secure and will not be impacted, but the impact will still be there. of.
It is inevitable that Mr. Mingjing will speed up his efforts to support “his own people” to become leaders.
Chu Chen believed that Mr. Ming Jing would definitely support him in this Immortal Court High Gong Conference, and he would be promoted to the Elder of the Central Presbytery of the Immortal Court and enter the palace.
As for the actual difference in the immortal job, I can't say for sure.
His Taoist magical power definitely qualifies him to ascend to the levels of "Prefecture Capital Administrator", "Deputy Envoy of the Demon Demon, Minister of the First Department". The next step is to take the third-level immortal positions such as the Chief of the State Taoist Academy and the State Supervisory Envoy. However, this is not the case. It's the same thing.
Master Huixin, Xuanfengzi and other high-ranking third-level magical powers had to come to the imperial capital in advance to wait for jobs, let alone him.
When you reach the third level, the competition for higher positions is fierce, and everyone wants to practice more martial arts to ensure that they can smoothly ascend to the title of god.
At this time, Chu Chen's young age actually became a disadvantage.
He had many opportunities, and just the next day, a group of older "old weirdos" in front of him were waiting for the opportunity. When the high-level practitioners held a meeting and negotiated with all the high-level practitioners, he suffered a great loss.
In this case, even Mr. Mingjing and Mr. Yulou cannot force him to the position despite all the opinions. After all, the person in power must consider the overall situation, coordinate limited resources, and divide the pie well. It is not easy to make this family richer or thinner. Another home.
On the way back from the palace garden, Chu Chen was surprised to find that more eyes were watching him secretly than when he came.
Obviously, the death of Tianyi Hou Nie Zhen caused a greater shock in the Dachang Dynasty than he imagined.
Before coming to the palace, Chu Chen didn't know that it involved a fight at the highest level, and he was still a little confused and curious. Now that he knew the cause and effect, he seemed very calm.
On the way, someone sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to invite him to come and sit down, but he declined.
Considering that he comes from a small family and a small sect, he is not on the same path as the noble family or the top sect of the Immortal Sect. Naturally, he firmly supports Mr. Ming Jing with a clear-cut stand and no need to waver.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Chen is more concerned about the little devil's "enlightenment" and breakthrough than dealing with the noble family.
In his eyes, this is a top priority and cannot be delayed.
"Boohoo!"
After leaving the place where the imperial capital's formations were strictly restricted, and arriving at the outskirts of the city, Chu Chen stepped directly into the void, shrunk to an inch, and after a few breaths, he returned to the imperial capital's Taoist temple, where he temporarily stayed.
For a long time, there was no big movement on the little ghost boy's side. He was sleeping on his side, breathing evenly, and exuding an obscure and mysterious aura that seemed to be there but not at all. However, what was surprising was that there was a faint flash of lightning again.
"Looks like there's something going on!"
Chu Chen casually collected the [Mana Incarnation] that was transformed from the cold hair on his body, and he couldn't help but look forward to the vision he had when the little devil devoured and refined the [Jie Yun Kui Ox Head] a few days ago.
Thunder God little devil!
The Ear Reporter Fairy Boy who can transform into Thunder God and control thunder is probably a unique and earth-shattering thing for Lingshan Sect and even other major sects.
Normally, the little ghost protects Chu Chen. This time, the two sides turned around. Chu Chen had nothing to do at the moment, so he decided to protect the little ghost.
Of course, during this process, Chu Chen also did not forget to meditate and refine [Innate Energy]. On the other hand, he was still refining weapons in Dameng Zhenxiang.
Speaking of which, most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command are still fourth-grade heavenly soldiers. After half a year, there are only more than 400 third-grade heavenly soldiers, so there is a lot of room for improvement.
When he refines all three thousand soldiers and horses into third-grade heavenly weapons, coupled with the improvement of his magic power and Taoism, his military magical power will be quite terrifying, and when the time comes, he will become a big trump card.
Before I knew it, seven days had passed.
In the clean room of the practice, there was an obvious "strange movement" on the little devil's body, and his aura became more and more mysterious. Unknowingly, a natal cloud seal appeared, and thunder rolled around him, turning into a thunder ball, completely wrapping it up. , just like the "Thunder Egg" born in the thunder, it is quite magical.
The thunder all over the little ghost boy is not simple, there is faint power of divine punishment overflowing out, it is the thunder of heavenly tribulation, the power is extremely terrifying.
Ghosts are most afraid of the power of thunder and lightning, which will kill them if they touch it.
No matter how successful you are in Taoism, you still can't withstand the devastation of the thunder.
On that day, when Chu Chen was going through the heavenly tribulation, the little ghost boy rushed into the place where he was going through the tribulation. He was shocked by the aftermath of the thunder and cried like a ghost, howling like a wolf, and smoke could be seen all over his body.
But now, the little ghost is at peace with the terrifying thunder, perfectly integrated together, as if the little ghost is not a ghost, but a spiritual thing born in the thunder, mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful.
Chu Chen has a profound realm and good eyesight. When he saw this scene, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Finally here!"
The situation in front of us is similar to "gold lotus planted in the fire". It is a mysterious realm where yin has yang, yin has yin, and yin and yang are in harmony.
In other words, here comes the opportunity for the little devil to make a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Chu Chen had quick eyes and quick hands. With a flick of his finger, the golden lotus seeds in his hand plunged into the rolling thunder ball and then fell into the kid's mouth.
As soon as the golden lotus seeds enter the mouth, the little ghost just steps into the mysterious realm of "yin ghosts entering the yang thunder". No one teaches it, so it instinctively starts to refine the [Golden Lotus Seeds].
Perhaps with the help of the rare treasure [Golden Lotus Seed], the little ghost boy began to change quietly. Not only did he become more harmonious with the thunder around him, but the aura on his body also increased significantly.
Another day passed.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a thunder sounded in the sky above the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple.
Immediately afterwards, in the sky, rolling thunder resounded non-stop.
This made the peaceful Imperial Capital Taoist Temple suddenly lively. From the great supernatural monks cultivating in the Imperial Capital to the Taoist Temple disciples who were practicing daily, they all raised their heads to look at the sky.
Looking at the sky, it was originally a beautiful and cloudless day, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds rolled in, and the sky and the earth became dark.
"I did some fortune-telling when I went out today. It's obviously going to be sunny."
A Taoist murmured in a low voice,
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
As soon as they saw the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, everyone either released their spiritual consciousness or made calculations with their fingers.
Not long after, everyone looked sideways, looking towards the depths of the Taoist temple, into the mountains where great supernatural powers and high skills were hidden.
A clean room for practicing in a cave.
Chu Chen also raised his head, and through the rocks of the cave, he could see the changing colors of the wind and clouds outside the cave, and the thunderous sky and earth.
However, he had no worries.
The fairy boy with the ear report is different from the immortal cultivator. He cannot attain the Tao. A breakthrough will not easily lead to a catastrophe. It is not a catastrophe at the moment. On the contrary, it is a little devil who breaks through the Tao and awakens the great supernatural power. Then he communicates with the power of heaven and earth and triggers the world. Vision.
To put it more romantically, this is heaven and earth congratulating the little devil on his breakthrough.
"Finally a breakthrough!"
Perhaps feeling something, Chu Chen withdrew his consciousness and looked into the depths of the practice clean room, with a bit of joy on his face.
In the pure practice room, the sometimes obscure and mysterious, sometimes violent and chaotic aura disappeared, replaced by a stable and powerful aura.
In the room, there is also a terrifying and oppressive feeling of divine punishment coming, like an abyss or a prison.
"Little devil Gong."
Chu Chen opened his mouth to congratulate, but before he could finish saying the word "congratulations", a heartbreaking cry came from the training room.
"Ahhhhh~ How could this happen?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, and without much thought, he opened the formation restriction and broke in.
As soon as I entered the clean room of the practice, I saw the little ghost crying profusely. His big tears were flowing down like crazy, almost turning into a trickling stream. He was crying so hard that he felt sad.
Among them, the little kid was probably so angry that he had nowhere to vent. He was so angry that he beat his chest as if he had missed something important. His face looked like a look of disappointment and full of regrets.
"What's wrong with you."
The little ghost boy probably felt that Chu Chen had come in, and he felt supported. He quickly stood up, wiped the tears on his face, and rushed towards Chu Chen without saying a word, his voice was a little hoarse:
"Senior brother~ Wuwuwu, my dream is broken, Wuwuwu~"
Chu Chen saw that the kid's breath was steady and strong, as if he was a third-level Taoist, and there was no hidden danger of injury. When he saw that there were no problems with the breakthrough, he was not worried. Instead, he smiled and asked:
"What's wrong, some of your dreams were shattered."
"me."
The kid's voice was choked up: "My dream of Thunder God was shattered. I thought that after I broke through, I would be able to transform myself into Thunder God, and even condense the Thunder God's Dharma and control the thunder. As a result,"
"what's the result?"
When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately became interested and couldn't wait to ask:
"What magical powers did you awaken after you broke through to the third level?"
The little kid wiped away his tears and looked downcast:
"The awakened magical power is related to [Mediating Disasters]. It controls the clouds of disasters and rains down the thunders of disasters. It is not at all the incarnation of the thunder god in the world, controlling the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens. Wuwuwuwu, I am still a brat without the power to restrain a chicken. Wuwuwuwu~”
There was a huge gap in Xu Shi's heart, and the little kid cried so sadly that he couldn't make a sound, his tears twinkling.
Chu Chen on the side was slightly stunned after hearing what the kid said.
There was no look of disappointment on his face.
On the contrary, his face was full of shock and joy.
From the little ghost's brief and disgusting description, he could get a glimpse of the horror of the little ghost's new magical power.
"Little devil, this is the punishment from heaven."
Chu Chen's face was full of shock.
The little devil's [Mediating Disasters] before was, at best, just to "gather disasters" for people, allowing the accumulation of small tribulations to become larger, and in the end, people were plagued by catastrophes.
However, whether Jie Qi will eventually brew into a "disaster" is beyond the control of the little devil.
But now, with the [Heavenly Punishment] magical power, the little devil has the great magical power to actively "detonate the calamity energy" and bring disaster.
In fact, this is more in line with the promotion route of the "Ear Report Fairy Boy" and is reasonable.
Thinking back, transforming into Thunder Lord and controlling the power of thunder is indeed incompatible with the little devil's ability. It is just a whim and a daydream of the little devil.
"Senior brother, is this really better than transforming into a Thunder Lord?"
After hearing his senior brother's explanation, the little kid stopped crying and asked:
"But, I want to become a thunder god and strike thunder at the bad guys."
"This is also thunder, the thunder of disaster, the same thing."
Chu Chen comforted him, and then asked with a smile:
"Little devil, is it difficult for you to control the clouds of calamity and bring down the thunder of calamity?"
"It's difficult. There is no specific method. I think I can turn small calamity clouds into small disaster thunders, and big calamity clouds into big disaster thunders. However, I don't know the specific method and I don't know how to use it. It's very mysterious."
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, remembering that day when the little devil's random words made Marquis Tianyi fly away, and he had a vague realization in his heart.
God's punishment and calamity are not things that ordinary people can control casually. Even true immortals and gods who have become immortals may not be able to control them.
With an innocent heart, the little devil has a chance to control some of the power of disaster and punishment from heaven and man.
It's very difficult to completely control it. I'm afraid I have to practice slowly in the future to be able to control a little or two.
However, even if this is the case, this is also very powerful.
Occasionally, the little devil said a golden word, that is, the punishment from heaven is coming, and the thunder is rolling.
The little kid touched his head and asked pitifully:
"Senior brother, is the thunder of disaster really better than the incarnation of Lord Thunder?"
"Yeah, that's natural. Work hard. Start by controlling the Little Tribulation Cloud and take your time."
Chu Chen nodded solemnly, the little devil must have taken the right path. [Thunder of Disasters] is like an advanced magical power of [Mediating Disasters]. It has the same origin, and its power is extremely terrifying.
When a doomed old monster meets a little devil, he meets a "little ancestor".
In the future, the little devil will practice hard and his magic power will become advanced, and he may even be able to further control the [Thunder of Disaster].
In any case, this time, the little devil has undergone a huge transformation, which is a great thing and has endless potential.
"All right!"
The little devil felt much better after hearing Chu Chen's consolation. At this moment, it probably remembered something and asked:
"I seem to be dreaming about Mr. Ming Jing again. Senior brother, are you going to see Mr. Ming Jing again?"
"Um!"
Chu Chen nodded and suppressed a smile:
"That's right, Mr. Ming Jing came to you again and asked you to kowtow to him. He rewarded you generously and prepared the incense. But you made a breakthrough in seclusion."
"Ah~"
In the clean room of the practice, deafening shouts rang out, and the little kid who had just stopped crying burst into tears again.
This time, it was even sadder.
