Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 633: Plan to Go to Lingxiao Realm

"Your Majesty's action fully demonstrates your broad-mindedness in embracing the world. Your name will surely go down in history and be praised by future generations. Monks from all over the world will surely be grateful for your great kindness..." Before Gu Xu finished speaking, Luo Chuan had already offered him some compliments as usual.

At this moment, Luo Chuan couldn't help but recall the scene thousands of years ago: the young emperor traveled in the Lingxiao Realm, selflessly teaching the way of astrology and destiny to ordinary practitioners who were restricted by blood and whom he met along the way.

For thousands of years, the emperor's original intention seems to have remained unchanged.

He seems to be still practicing the lofty ideal of "making everyone in the world like a dragon" with practical actions as he did in the past.

Luochuan knew very well that the Emperor's willingness to share these experiences on the "Qingdu Order" was of immeasurable value.

The Emperor was once a powerful person at the peak of the eighth realm. He had a very deep understanding of the myriad ways of the world and could see through appearances and reach the essence at a glance.

When he presented these profound and complex Taoist talismans to the world in a concise and easy-to-understand manner, it undoubtedly greatly reduced the difficulty of learning and opened a door for everyone to move to a higher level.

Then, Luo Chuan changed the subject and expressed his own opinion: "However, Your Majesty, you should know that it is not easy to expand the coverage of the 'Qingdu Order' to the whole country.

"The current operation of the 'Qingdu Order' mainly relies on a small formation in the Exorcist Division headquarters. This formation is jointly maintained by the old minister and Wang Jian. It can store a large amount of information and deduce the battles between practitioners.

“Even if the Purple Mansion Army is expanded to several hundred people, this formation can easily support it, it is more than enough.

"However, if we want all cultivators in the country to use the 'Qingdu Order', then the deduction ability of this formation will be stretched to its limits and far from enough."

  After Gu Xu pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "If we invest more resources in this formation and let more cultivators maintain it together, can its deduction ability be enhanced?

"I don't expect it to serve all the monks in the country right away. We can try to start with one or two cities and then slowly expand the scope."

"The Emperor's idea is indeed feasible. But to maintain this formation, the practitioner's attainments in the art of talisman formations are very high," Luo Chuan said, "Only those talisman masters who have already entered the hall can take on this task."

"Master Talisman, I just happened to recruit a group of them recently, and they should all be in Longmen Academy now," Gu Xu said with a smile, "After the Chinese New Year, maybe we can gather them together and try to discuss and solve this problem together."

After Gu Xu ascended the throne, he naturally carried out a series of reorganizations on Longmen Academy, the top institution for practitioners in the Great Wilderness.

Former president Li Zheng, who had been involved in nepotism and bribery, has been dismissed.

At present, Wang Jian is acting as the dean.

Gu Xu also further expanded the scale of the academy and recruited more teachers and students from all over the country, especially those civilian students who were talented but lacked resources.

His experience in the Exorcism Office of Yishui County made him deeply aware of the difficulties encountered by these grassroots practitioners.

For children of noble birth, Longmen Academy is just icing on the cake; however, for these practitioners, once they have the opportunity to enter this platform, they may completely change their destiny.

In addition, he also gathered many well-known talisman masters from all over the country to the academy.

As a master of talismans, although Gu Xu is good at improving various types of talismans, his power is ultimately limited. Moreover, as the king of a country, he can no longer devote all his energy to the study of talismans like an ordinary talisman master.

Therefore, he entrusted the important task of promoting the development and innovation of the Great Wilderness Talisman to these talisman masters.

He firmly believed that in the future war, the talisman formation would play a vital role. Therefore, there must be no slackness in research in this area. "That's great," Luo Chuan said, and then flattered Gu Xu, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful and prepared for a rainy day. Your foresight is really something that we, your subjects, can do..."

Gu Xu waved his hand gently, interrupting his endless stream of flattery.

"In addition, Jiang Zhaoyue also told me that she will be able to use the 'secret' authority of the Night Emperor to help me send a group of people to the Lingxiao Realm in the near future," he said seriously, "I hope that these people can collect in-depth intelligence in the Lingxiao Realm, inquire about information from all sides, study advanced Taoism, and seek possible allies. Therefore, Wenchang, I need you to help me consider suitable candidates."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Chuan could not wait to ask: "Emperor, I am willing to go to Lingxiao Realm in person and take on this important task.

"I have been following you since the time when I was in the Lingxiao Realm. To this day, if we talk about my understanding of that place, I am afraid that no one in the entire Great Wilderness can match me."

Hearing this, Gu Xu responded in a deep voice: "Wenchang, I already understand your loyalty and determination. However, this trip is full of dangers. You are the backbone of Daxia. How can I easily let you fall into danger? The stability and prosperity of Daxia's regime cannot be separated from your assistance and planning.

"Besides, what you just said is not entirely true. There may be someone in the Great Wilderness who is more familiar with the situation in the Spiritual Sky Realm than you."

"Could the Emperor be referring to the silver dragon lying on the Fengtian Temple square?" Luo Chuan asked, looking up.

"No, she is a dragon, not a human," Gu Xu smiled faintly and pointed to his heart, "It's me."

"How can this be possible?" Luo Chuan was shocked when he heard this and blurted out, "Emperor, you are worth a million gold and extremely noble. As the ruler of a country, you shoulder the responsibility of the rise and fall of the entire Great Wilderness. The future of the Great Wilderness and the well-being of the people all depend on you.

“Although this old minister is dull, if I can be loyal to the Emperor, I will not hesitate even if I die in the Spiritual Sky Realm. Moreover, there are countless cultivators in the Great Wilderness who have received the Emperor’s favor, and they will certainly be willing to die for the Emperor.

"Please think twice before you act, Your Majesty. Do not put yourself in danger!"

As he said this, he shook his robe and was about to kneel down, begging Gu Xu to take back his words.

But Gu Xu quickly stopped him with his true energy.

"Wenchang, you have known me for many years, don't you know my character?" Gu Xu said slowly with a smile on his face, "How could you think that I would ignore the entire Great Wilderness and risk being discovered by the Supreme Haotian to enter the Lingxiao Realm with my true body?"

"If not in your true form, are you going to..." Luo Chuan frowned slightly, vaguely guessing Gu Xu's intention.

"——That's right," Gu Xu responded, "I plan to follow the example of Kong Xuan Sanren and use the 'puppetry' spell to create an avatar to go to Lingxiao Realm in order to find out the situation there.

"Ordinary clone techniques are difficult to achieve cross-world control. Once the clone enters a different world, it will lose contact with the original body.

"But the clone technique created by Kong Xuan Sanren is quite special. The clone and the original body are connected through a causal bond. This connection is very stable and will not be severed even if they cross different worlds.

“Although there is an obvious flaw in Kong Xuan Sanren’s clone technique, that is, the clone may develop an independent personality and thus conflict with the original body.

"But after my improvements, this problem can be effectively avoided by creating only one clone. After the clone completes its mission and returns, I can merge it back into the original body."

At this point, the corners of his lips slightly raised, he looked at Luo Chuan and said: "Besides, if we talk about going to Lingxiao Realm to steal a master's skills, can anyone learn faster than me?"
