Imperial Capital, the study room of the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.
Sandalwood curls up and becomes dense clouds.
In the clouds and smoke, a figure quietly condensed.
It was Chu Chen who was summoned.
As soon as he appeared, he immediately looked around and soon saw Mr. Ming Jing sitting in the seat of the study room and Master Chongxu sitting in the side seat.
There are eight seats in two rows on the left and right sides of the steps, with seven people sitting and one vacant seat.
Among these seven people, he has dealt with Zhenren Gutong and Zhenren Yulou more often and is quite familiar with them. Although the other five people have no friendship, they have cultivated second-level magic power and become a peerless powerhouse. Chu Chen has successfully entered the highest circle of the cultivation world. , good knowledge.
These peerless powerful men and important ministers who are active in the world of spiritual practice, even if they have no intersection or have any dealings with each other, they all know each other.
Next to Zhenren Gutong is a middle-aged Taoist with the Taoist name "Hua Wen Taoist". He was born in the Five Mountains Divine Sect. Now he is ranked second in the Jade Emperor Sect. He is a middle-level Taoist of the second level. His magic power has reached the level of Great Perfection of the second level. He has powerful Taoist and magical powers and is very popular. I hope that my magic power will break through to the first level and become one of the top peerless powerhouses.
Prior to this, the Chinese Taoist's status in the Immortal Court was similar to that of "Zhenren Chongxu". He was the next successor of the "Jade Emperor Sect" and was expected to take over the position of the Heavenly Master of the Immortal Court in ten years.
Further down, there is "Haiqing Sanren", who was born in the "Ten Thousand Immortals Island" of the overseas Taoist sect. He is a newly promoted second-level Taoist and is also the top peerless powerhouse of the Taoist sect in the future. In this competition for the "Great Elder of Immortal Court", he will be selected without any doubt. , among the eighteen important ministers of the country.
Sitting at the end of the table was a Kun Dao with a graceful appearance and a handsome appearance, like a twenty-eight-year-old girl. Her Taoist name was "Lanyou Jushi". She was the No. 1 Kun Dao in the world, with a third-level Taoist practice and a second-level magic power cultivation, making her one of the most powerful people in the world. among the list.
On the other side, the leader of the Yulou Master is headed. Beside him, the old monk wearing cassocks and holding Buddhist beads is Xutian Divine Monk, the contemporary leader of Buddhism in the world, a top-notch peerless powerhouse with a first-level magic power. With a divine weapon at his side, he can also be defeated by immortals. The strongest person in the world.
Beside Xutian Divine Monk, "Master Jing'an" holds a fly whisk and sits quietly. Compared to "Laity Lanyou", she has not made any achievements in beauty. The years have left obvious traces on her face. However, her whole body exudes the benevolent power of a monk, which makes people feel peaceful, as if they have seen a Bodhisattva.
This "Master Jing'an" is also of no small importance. He is also a second-level Taoist practitioner and is expected to become a "top peerless powerhouse" and a true eminent Buddhist monk.
There was a vacant seat at the end, and needless to say, it was reserved for Chu Chen.
These are the top nine of the new Immortal Court Elders' House - Master Chongxu, Master Yulou, Master Gutong, Divine Monk Xutian, Taoist Chinese, Haiqing Sanren, Master Jing'an, Layman Lanyou and Chu Chen.
Among them, except for layman Lan You and Chu Chen, the rest are all second-level Taoists. Even if they are not top-level peerless experts with first-level magic power at the moment, they will definitely become first-level magicians in the future. It can be seen that the "Xianting" in this Fairy Court High Gong Conference The competition for the position of "Great Elder" is fierce.
Even the "Lanyou layman" who also has second-level magic power is in a different situation from Chu Chen.
He is the leader of Kun Dao and has a natural advantage. He is certain to occupy the position of "Great Elder of Immortal Court".
In other words, in this Xianting High-Gong Conference, the only thing that has competition and suspense is Chu Chen’s last spot.
Chu Chen was secretly frightened when he saw this scene.
In the preliminary stage of the Fairy Court Presbyterian Council, his ranking was not even at the top, but only in the middle. Under such circumstances, he could win. I am afraid that the highest level of the Fairy Court was against all opinions and recommended. He ascends.
Chu Chen immediately straightened his expression and bowed his hands in greeting.
"I, Chu Chen, have met your majesty, met Master Chongxu, and met all fellow Taoists."
"No need to be polite."
Mr. Ming Jing waved his hand and motioned for Chu Chen to take a seat, then smiled lightly and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, upon the strong recommendation of fellow Taoist Chongxu, I and the fellow daoists from the Xianting Presbyterian Academy have decided that you will be in charge of the Southwest Demonic Academy, and sit with the Southwest Governor's Mansion to guard the southwest wilderness. What do you think?"
Chu Chen was not surprised at all.
This time, he was able to take the position smoothly, probably thanks to the recommendation of his old boss Chongxu Zhenren.
Under normal circumstances, the Celestial Master of Immortal Court cannot influence the selection of the "Great Elder of Immortal Court".
However, as the former [Envoy of the Demon Academy] and the new rotating Heavenly Master of the Immortal Court, his recommendation has great influence. Under normal circumstances, everyone will give him a favor.
In addition, Chu Chen was originally from the Southwest Demon Academy and owned a paradise in Yuqin Mountain in Yunzhou. His influence was extraordinary and he was the best candidate to serve as the [Emissary of the Demon Academy].
This is also the main reason why Chu Chen won the competition among the peerless experts.
"Thank you for your majesty and the heavenly master's attention. I will live up to my trust."
"Great kindness!"
Mr. Ming Jing nodded slightly, then without saying anything else, he turned to look at Master Chongxu aside and said:
"Fellow Daoist Chongxu, you will be in charge next."
"Jinnuo!"
Master Chongxu bowed his hands to Mr. Ming Jing, then looked at Chu Chen in the palace, smiled and said to everyone:
"Fellow Daoist Chu has devoted himself to the Southwest Demonic Academy since its establishment. He has served successively as the elder of the Demonic Demon Academy, the deputy director of the Demonic Demonic Academy, and the left envoy of the Demonic Demonic Academy. During his tenure, the Demonic Demon Academy has made great contributions. Under his leadership, countless demons have been killed. Many demons have been killed. He gained insight into the demon's conspiracy for the first time, strategized, performed extraordinary feats repeatedly, and gained great prestige in the Demonic Academy. In addition, Daoyou Chu successively served as the county capital, county capital, and state capital. He was a good leader and took charge of the overall situation.
At the meeting, Master Chongxu followed the usual practice and introduced Chu Chen to the elders of the Presbytery, speaking non-stop.
I have to say that Chu Chen’s resume is quite impressive.
After practicing Taoism for thirty years, he rose from a ninth-grade minor immortal official to an important minister of the country and the great elder of the Immortal Court.
Even if he is placed in front of all the important ministers of the country and the great elder of Immortal Court, no one can stand up to him.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the shocking battle in the Yuqin Mountain Cave, which is known to everyone here.
Master Yulou has a close relationship with Chu Chen, and he immediately answered the message and praised:
"Fellow Taoist Lingxiao is indeed the best candidate for the [Emissary of the Demon Academy]. His presence in the southwest is reassuring. It is said that a fellow Taoist in the army suggested that he take over Yu Xuzi and be in charge of the Southwest Governor's Mansion. With him in charge, the southwest will be stable. Ruotaishan!”
"Hahahaha~"
Everyone smiled kindly upon hearing this.
This news did not come casually, but it was true.
The battle at Yuqin Mountain established Chu Chen's status as the great master of the art of war in one fell swoop. There was no dispute, and the army was very greedy for Chu Chen.
Putting aside the competing interests of all parties, Chu Chen is indeed the best candidate to take charge of the Southwest Demon Academy.
Not to mention, now that the dust has settled, the situation has been decided.
All the great elders of the Immortal Court in the hall agreed with Master Yulou’s words and were quite sure of Chu Chen.
Even Master Gu Tong did not sing a different tune at this time, and expressed his welcome and congratulations to Chu Chen for joining the core of Xianting Elders' House.
On the surface, the scene is quite harmonious.
This time, the first meeting after the birth of the core of the new Xianting Presbyterian Council did not discuss any major matters, but met to go through the process.
After some pleasantries, the group left the Yangxin Hall study room and headed to the main hall of the Xianting Presbyterian Academy.
The palace is majestic and solemn.
At this moment, in the Immortal Courtyard of Elders, hundreds of elders and masters have been waiting for a long time, waiting for Mr. Mingjing, the Celestial Master and the great elders to appear.
Han Chen, Master Huixin, Xuan Fengzi, Taoist Taihe, Taoist Changfeng, Taoist Feilong, Xianyun Sanren and others were all present.
In the past, Chu Chen was also one of hundreds or thousands.
However, this time he walked behind the Emperor Mingjing and the Celestial Master, and as an important minister of the Celestial Empire and the Great Elder of the Immortal Court, he appeared for the first time in front of all the high-ranking practitioners and elders of the Immortal Court.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"We pay our respects to the Emperor!"
"Master Chongxu has arrived!"
"We respectfully welcome the Heavenly Master."
The sound of the master of ceremonies singing and drinking, and the respectful greetings of everyone, resounded throughout the hall.
It was fine in the front, everyone was following the steps, but when they were singing and drinking "Great Elder Ling Xiao", everyone raised their heads in unison, and all turned their attention to the young Taoist who was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and carrying a fairy sword on his back.
"We respectfully welcome the Great Elder Lingxiao."
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Every situation in the world is different.
After the much-anticipated Immortal Court High Gong Conference came to an end, the pattern of the Celestial Immortal Court underwent major changes.
This time, the Immortal Court High Gong Conference has ended. With the promotion and transfer of the Immortal Court elders and high gongs, the strategic focus of the Celestial Empire has officially shifted from the southwest frontier to the northwest frontier.
In this process, some people are proud, some are sad, some are excited and excited, some are lonely and depressed, some are envious and excited, and so on.
However, after all, the high-ranking elders in the Immortal Courtyard have profound spiritual practices and good Qi-nurturing skills. Although there are turbulences in their hearts, they are not too emotional.
The people who really felt ups and downs because of the Xianting Gaogong Conference were not at the court meeting, but in the southwest wilderness tens of thousands of miles away.
"Woooooooooo~"
"Senior brother, you are finally back. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I will die."
The little ghost boy cried loudly, with tears streaming down his face. I really felt pity for him at that little appearance.
Chu Chen showed no sympathy at all and was dumbfounded: "Brother, I have warned you not to talk nonsense. It's better for you. Not only did you talk nonsense, but you also exposed Master's shortcomings in front of all the Lingshan brothers. Who else will die if you don't die."
Revealing the embarrassment of Master Xu Ping in front of everyone in Lingshan is simply an epic crime. The little devil is so brave.
"I couldn't help it!"
The little ghost looked depressed and mournful: "You asked me not to say it, I was thinking about it all day long, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, I kept thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more I remembered it, it was all in my mind, at the critical moment , my mind went blank, and by chance the words came out."
"The master is so cruel. He attached a spiritual talisman to me, blocked my divine power, tied me up and whipped me. The most outrageous thing is that the master confiscated my spiritual incense."
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot to... to..., senior brothers, if you take down the cave, all the massive spiritual incense that you and sister Ying'er and your relatives and friends gave to me will be gone."
It was a great joy to seize the Qingchen Cave, and the congratulatory gestures from all parties were astonishing. Under the love house, the little devil also got the benefit, and the spiritual fragrance collected was enough for it to enjoy for hundreds of years.
It's just gone.
Chu Chen couldn't hold himself any longer now and laughed loudly and wantonly.
"Hahahahahaha~"
The little ghost boy saw his senior brother laughing and had no intention of comforting him. His little face was twisted into a ball of sadness, as if he was wearing a mask of pain.
The roar lasted three thousand miles.
In the blink of an eye and a few breaths, Chu Chen returned from Dajiuzhou to Yuqin Mountain in Yunzhou.
With a flash of body, he entered the Qingchen Cave.
As soon as he entered the cave, Qingying's soft and pleasant voice came to his ears.
"Congratulations to Erlang for being among the important ministers of Zuoguo and being promoted to the envoy of the Demon Academy!"
Chu Chen saw the beautiful woman appearing next to him, with a faint smile on his face.
Finally home.
Overnight, he was promoted to the Grand Elder of the Immortal Courtyard and took charge of the Southwest Demon Court. He was guarding one side and everyone was respectful and congratulatory. He was flattered one after another. It was a glorious sight.
However, compared to the congratulations from others, Qingying's congratulations were more beneficial to him.
Just like when he was a young Taoist boy in Guangping County, Qingzhou, Qingying's heartfelt blessings and resonance were never absent whenever he made progress in his Taoist cultivation and in the Immortal Court.
Pure, sincere and unadulterated.
"As expected of the Taoist robe worn by the Heavenly Master, it is truly majestic and majestic."
Qingying looked around at Chu Chen's yellow Taoist robe. She was filled with joy and couldn't help but stretch out her hands to tidy it up. Then she casually said:
"Where's the little devil? Why don't you see him? Why doesn't he come out to beg for such a happy event?"
"He was so heartbroken that he fell asleep."
Chu Chen casually told the whole story about the kid who exposed his master Xu Ping and how he was beaten up and punished with losing his spirit incense, which made Qingying giggle non-stop.
"I prepared incense for the little devil, but I didn't expect it to fall asleep."
Qingying pursed her lips and smiled slightly. After joking, she didn't mention the little devil again, but asked with a smile:
"Erlang, has the matter at the Demonic Academy been settled?"
"Well~ it's been taken care of."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
After traveling to the imperial capital, participating in the Immortal Court Conference, and appearing at the Immortal Court Elders Conference as the Great Elder of the Immortal Court, subsequent transfer orders followed.
He was awarded the sixteenth rank [Dong Zhen Lu], was granted the title [Dong Zhen Mage], was promoted to the second rank, the left prime minister of the Nine Heavens Golden Palace, promoted the work of ghosts and gods in the world, was promoted to the Southwest Demon Academy [Emissary of the Demon Academy], and was ranked among the assistants of the Celestial Dynasty. Among the important ministers of the country, he suppressed the wilderness in the southwest.
In addition, great adjustments have also taken place in the candidates of various states and ministries in the world, and transfer orders are flying out from the imperial capital.
The adjustments to the Southwest Demonic Academy have been extremely dramatic.
The scattered people of Xianyun failed to compete for the [Envoy of the Demonic Academy] and did not stay in the Demonic Academy. They were transferred to the important core immortal position in the southwest frontier.
The Bagua Department was all abolished, and most of the former colleagues were transferred to the northwest frontier.
After some streamlining, only the Four Elephants Department was left, which was led by four upper-third-grade evil demon deputy envoys, Xuan Fengzi, Master Huixin, Taoist Feilong, and Guangzhong Sanren.
Among the four ministers of the evil demon, it goes without saying that Master Xuan Fengzi and Master Huixin know the basics and have a good relationship. Taoist Feilong may have been beaten by Taoist Tianxin, and he seemed to treat Chu Chen as the core of Tianxin's lineage, treating Chu Chen with respect.
As for the deputy ministers and elders of the Demon Academy, many of them were Chu Chen's former subordinates.
The entire Demon Academy is completely under his control.
He didn't need to spend any thought at all, and he quickly succeeded Master Chongxu and took charge of the Demon Academy.
"There is nothing to worry about in the Demon Academy."
Chu Chen was quite confident and did not mention the Wan Mo Yuan. Instead, he focused his attention on Qing Ying, feeling a little curious:
"Ying'er, you urged me to come back in such a hurry, but what happened?"
Qingying smiled sweetly:
"Erlang, after I stabilized the cave, our unparalleled immortality in the cave was finally born."
