Above the void, the vast and deep dragon energy was entrenched. There was a faint sound of dragon roars that penetrated the clouds and cracked the rocks. It was earth-shattering. Thousands of golden lights penetrated the sky and collided in mid-air. They emitted bright brilliance, burning their light and reflecting the surrounding sky. .
The next moment, there are heavy auspicious clouds, mysterious sounds are fragrant, the bright jade color hangs down like a bead curtain, and the golden and jade-like silk threads fly and meet in the air, condensing into a network.
This big net covers the entire imperial capital. Each grid seems to have large gaps, but in fact, it is intertwined with various Tao and Dharma, humanity, and Shinto that are mutually inclusive.
Suddenly, Su Ming's consciousness seemed to break through the limitations of time and space. The restraints of his physical body gradually rose up. The earth became farther and farther away from him, and seemed to become a chessboard in his eyes. Then his consciousness came to the sea of stars. The sun, moon and stars echoed each other, but Su Ming failed to feel the energy of life in these stars.
Then his consciousness went up to a higher level, and he came to the sea of stars. There were nine layers of clouds here, and a heavenly palace stood majestically. The auspicious aura of purple and green hung down like silk, crisscrossing the left and right. From a distance, it felt like being in a fairyland. .
The heavenly palace is blooming with golden light, clear and holy. Clear light shines, transparent and clear.
Last time, he came here, but was beaten back by the heavenly general guarding the gate. Although he didn't know why his consciousness came here, it did not prevent him from continuing to explore.
Even though he had been here once before, he was still shocked when he saw it again. As his consciousness came closer, he noticed the dense aroma that hit his nostrils. It was clearer than last time, as if he had come here in person.
The next moment, a magnificent portal appeared in front of him. It towers into the clouds, with archways on both sides, glittering with gold hangings.
The vast light hangs down from mid-air like an inverted pot, spreading around the perimeter, showing an arc-shaped outline, rising and falling.
Every collision, thunder has sound. Standing in front of it, the majesty is overwhelming, making you feel insignificant. On the door, three strange runes are engraved on it.
"Nantianmen!"
Just hearing the sound of bells and drums, a god emerged from the archway. He looked three feet tall, with a red gold body, two heads and four sides, and a majestic sword, gun, sword and halberd in his arms.
"Be bold!"
The god's eyes were as bright as lightning. The moment he saw Su Ming, he took action without saying a word. He only heard a loud shout, lightning appeared on the Nantian Gate, thunder exploded, and countless purple lightning danced towards Su Ming.
However, Su Ming was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't recognize me!
Although Su Ming has now reached the realm of the soul, the essence of his consciousness and soul body has not changed. Anyone who has seen it will definitely recognize that there seems to be something wrong with this god.
At this moment, facing the thunder bombardment, Su Ming thought, and a layer of divine light suddenly appeared outside his consciousness, isolating the thunder. The divine light stirred, and the thunder roared. The next moment, Su Ming took the initiative to take action, and his powerful consciousness condensed the sword body. , his consciousness turned into a divine sword and stabbed towards the God in front of Nantian Gate.
As if he was touched, a look of anger appeared on the face of the god, and two red lights shot out from his golden eyes. The divine light around him suddenly turned red, and a fiery breath came from the void, as if it was going to burn everything. All.
"Those who violate heaven's rules will be killed!" The furious voice echoed in the void, echoing endlessly.
"It seems that you are just an empty shell!" A low laugh sounded. In front of the Tianmen, the sword energy and sword intention were transformed into thousands of things, including yin and yang, the five elements, silence, light... all kinds of different swords His mind exploded instantly and stabbed towards the god.
The sword was like thunder, dazzling and dazzling. During this period, apart from this god, no other god appeared. The turbulent sword intent of Pei Angpai turned into a wave, shaking the world.
"Crack! Click!" The entire Nantian Gate was destroyed in an instant, and the God of Heaven was also turned into powder under this blow.
Su Ming turned around and felt intense fatigue in his consciousness. It was obvious that the cost of taking action here would be greater than he imagined.
Just when he was about to step into the Nantian Gate and enter the Heavenly Palace to find out what was going on, time seemed to have flown backwards. The Nantian Gate quickly recovered, and the God of Heaven also recovered in the blink of an eye.
"What!"
Is it a rule?
When you reach Su Ming's level, your vision is naturally extraordinary. The sword just destroyed Nantianmen, but now it has been restored to its original state. It is definitely not the passage of time, but the product of rules.
This space is a world of its own, but rules are born in this small world. The gods guarding Nantianmen are the products of the rules. As long as this world is immortal, Nantianmen will never collapse.
try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){} Fortunately, Su Ming had already entered the Heavenly Palace when the Nantianmen collapsed, and the God did not pursue him that day, but kept guarding outside the door. It seemed that he never Never seen him before.
There are thirty-six levels in the Heavenly Palace, and each level is vast, with different scenery and different styles of palaces. But the same thing is that the palaces here are empty, and there is no one in any of the buildings.
The main hall in the center of each floor was tightly closed. He tried but couldn't get in. The rest of the side halls were also empty, with nothing left. But Su Ming still found traces of the creatures that once lived here.
There is no doubt that this is the residence of the gods of the Heavenly Palace. Each level of the palace is filled with different divine powers. Although the spiritual energy here is full and much richer than that of the lower world, it seems not to be affected by the exhaustion of spiritual energy at all, but this place is still The spiritual energy and divine power are mixed together, and there is also a strong power of incense.
Su Ming searched this place but could not find any living creatures. However, the buildings here were extremely solid and could not be destroyed at all.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of fatigue, and his consciousness continued to blur.
"The time has come!" Su Ming thought, he must be returning.
In the sky above the capital, the sound of the dragon's roar could be heard clearly in everyone's ears. The awe-inspiring power of the sky was beyond the reach of mere mortals! Except for people in the imperial court system, all common people, even aristocratic families, and relatives of the emperor felt the unparalleled oppression. This force made their hearts tremble and they fell to their knees directly.
Su Ming was also awakened by the sound of the dragon's roar. When he came back to his senses, he discovered that the French net in the sky had been constructed and was hidden in the dark, making it difficult for mortals to see it.
"Amitabha! Finally, my merits have been fulfilled." He chanted the Buddha's name and slowly walked down the altar of heaven, but his consciousness was still extremely tired.
Under the Temple of Heaven, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were eagerly waiting. When they saw Su Ming coming down, they all came forward excitedly. Seeing their scrambling posture, Su Ming stopped and said in a deep voice, "You can go to your Majesty. I have been restored to life, this matter has been accomplished, no one will dare to invade the imperial capital again."
"Thank you so much, Imperial Master." The ministers showed joy on their faces, and then they dispersed in a hurry and hurried to report to His Majesty. If this thing is done well, each of them can make a mark in the credit book. If they are lucky and get a promotion, how can they not be happy?
After they left, Su Ming let out a breath, finally regained consciousness, and disappeared here as soon as he stepped on it.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Emperor Yong'an Li Waner stood on the steps in front of the palace, looking up at the sky. In her eyes, an illusory net enveloped the sky, blocking out all evil spirits.
At the same time, at the moment when the formation rose, the evil spirits hiding in the slums and dark corners of the capital could no longer be hidden. They were instantly eliminated by the Great Zhou Dragon Qi.
She stretched out her palm as if to touch the illusory net, but then she revealed a wry smile, "Is this the French Open? It turns out that the sky that my father saw at the beginning was different from the sky that I saw."
Until today, she had never realized how difficult it was to sit in her position. Every day, countless memorials were submitted to the court from the local government. Every day, she had to review a large number of memorials.
No one urged her to do this, but she subconsciously felt that she should do this. Only in this way could she understand her country, what her ministers were doing, what was happening in various places, and which officials were deceiving her. Which officials are doing their jobs sincerely?
Although the memorials she saw had been approved by the cabinet ministers and Queen Mother Zhu, she still did not relax, but wanted to understand the essence of them from the officials' memorials and criticisms.
Over time, she also learned what meanings were hidden in those memorials that seemed to say hello, and what information was hidden in those memorials that reported peace.
Of course, Xuan Jingsi's contribution is indispensable for this.
After Su Ming consolidated the expansion of the Xuanjing Division's manpower, he re-established the Xuanjing Division's stations in various places. Although most of the legal networks around the world were fragmented and could not protect the people, these legal networks could still transmit news very quickly.
He also did not let the secret guards of Xuanjing Division continue to protect the people, because the world is too big, and there is no legal network to rely on. The tens of thousands of people in Xuanjing Division are like protecting billions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is very difficult.
Now that the spiritual energy is weakening, the Yin energy is strong, and the power of demons is unprecedentedly powerful, it is not enough to indemnify the entire Xuanjing Division. Therefore, in addition to keeping the secret guards in the army as accompanying monks, Su Ming also sent Secret guards lurk everywhere to deliver messages.
try{mad1('gad2');} catch(ex){}In this era of lack of communication means, the existence of the French Open can be said to have provided great convenience to the court. However, this news channel is limited to the palace and the military. , the court officials had no way of knowing, and they could only vaguely guess that the emperor had another source of information. But it was just a guess, and they couldn't ask about it.
For an emperor, the most terrifying thing is not losing the power in his hands. The most terrifying thing is becoming blind and unable to see anything. The only place he can see is the palace, and he has no idea about his ministers. What are you doing, what changes are happening in various places, this is also another purpose of Emperor Shenwu setting up the Xuanjing Division.
Of course, if you are in the world of cultivating immortals, you can use flying swords and jade slips to send messages. However, these two things are unusual and difficult to put into use on a large scale, and they are easy to be intercepted.
It wasn't until she understood everything that happened outside that Li Waner knew what it meant to be in a difficult country. But facing this situation, she was powerless even if she wanted to do anything. She could only reduce the expenses in the palace again and again. This was The only thing she could do.
Just when Li Wan'er was feeling heavy, the voice of the palace maid Xiao Lu sounded, "Your Majesty, the empress has summoned you to come over."
When she heard the voice, she quickly calmed down and returned to her expressionless look. When Xiao Lu appeared in her field of vision, she nodded, "I understand."
For some reason, she dislikes the Yangxin Hall. Even though the Yangxin Hall has been repaired and decorated many times and is one of the best among the many palaces in the palace, she still doesn't like to stay there.
Maybe it was the reason why Emperor Yong'an died there. Whenever she entered that hall, she always felt a little breathless. The hall felt too heavy for her. After staying there for a long time, she always felt a little breathless. , the huge pressure around her almost suffocated her.
"Your Majesty, it seems that there is news from the Imperial Preceptor." The palace maid Xiao Lu followed her and suddenly said when she saw no one around.
Li Waner glanced at her lightly and said calmly, "The Imperial Master re-established the capital formation to protect the people, which is another great achievement. I want to talk to the Queen Mother and reward him well."
Xiao Lu still looked innocent and innocent, her clear eyes full of longing, "It's a pity that the Imperial Master is in a hurry every time he enters the palace. His Majesty must really hope to see him again."
Suddenly, a trace of desire flashed in Li Waner's eyes. She turned around and said to her solemnly, "There are no private matters in the palace. You can't talk nonsense anymore. If others hear it, you will report it to the queen mother, even me." I can’t even protect you!”
Seeing the emperor's solemn look, Xiaolu shuddered, her face turned pale with fright, "I understand, thank you, Your Majesty."
Since Li Waner ascended to the throne, the eunuchs and maids around her have all risen to the top. Xiaolu, the maid who was closest to her in the Xiuyu Palace, has also grown rapidly and become a popular person in the palace.
These days, under the flattery of the palace maids, she has become a little arrogant. Li Waner's words may not mean to knock her secretly.
Seeing her appearance, Li Waner nodded, "Let's go."
······
The secret room of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. After leaving the Temple of Heaven, Su Ming immediately returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He had already set up a magic circle here, and Feng Lingzi and others were waiting for him. It was extremely safe.
After experiencing such an experience in the Heavenly Palace, most of Su Ming's consciousness and soul power were consumed. Therefore, he did not return to the emperor and went straight back here.
In the backyard, Su Ming sat cross-legged under the peach tree, and spiritual stones flew out continuously from his storage ring. The majestic spiritual energy burst out, almost turning into spiritual liquid.
But in the blink of an eye, all this spiritual energy was absorbed by Su Ming. After the spiritual energy was consumed, the spiritual stones turned into powder. It took hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones to be consumed before his spiritual thoughts and consciousness could be restored.
Seeing the spirit stone residues all over the ground, Su Ming waved his sleeves, and these residues were swept into the pond. In the water, koi fish swam around, vying to eat the spirit stone residues, causing splashes of water.
"That heavenly palace is not simple!"
