Xianye

Chapter 459: Void Emperor Heaven
In a moment, the light was everywhere. Looking up, I saw a treasure ship slowly descending, rolling up thousands of layers of clouds and rays of light. It looked like a galaxy pouring down to the lower world, with an extremely majestic momentum.

Chen Heng's eyes focused, and he saw that the treasure ship was extremely huge at first, probably tens of thousands of feet long, and as straight as a divine spike that wanted to pierce through the east and west, but as it sank, its size began to shrink, and finally it was only a thousand feet in size, towering over the clouds.

The one who laughed and saluted at the bow was Chen Yufu, one of the four chief envoys in the delegation that Xu Huang sent to visit the eight sects and six schools.

This was not the first time that Chen Heng and Chen Yupu met. This man had been sent by Chen Yu to come to Changli Island to spy on Chen Heng.

However, after several decades, this originally elegant middle-aged scholar seemed to have aged a little, with faint gray hair on his temples and a hint of green between his brows, and his aura was different.

After greeting each other, Chen Yufu shook his head and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen you for many years. You look even more elegant and graceful. I feel ashamed of myself.

I made a mistake when I was forcing myself to break through the barrier during my cultivation. Although my cultivation level has improved, I accidentally injured several Qi points. It will take some time to recover. I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Master."

Chen Heng was naturally humble at first, and then expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Chen Yufu's status in Xuhuangtian is extraordinary, and we can get a glimpse of it just from the fact that he was the chief envoy of the diplomatic corps that year.

And looking at his appearance, we can tell that he is seriously injured and it will take more than three to five years for him to recover.

This time, the welcoming ceremony might not only be carried out on the order of the God King, but also had the meaning of an acquaintance coming forward to invite him and ease his worries. This might be Chen Yufu's own idea.

Hearing Chen Heng's sudden thanks, Chen Yupu was stunned at first, but then he couldn't help clapping and laughing, not concealing his joy.

"As expected of a great sect's true disciple, a first-grade golden elixir, his talent and wisdom are truly extraordinary."

After Chen Yufu finished laughing, his expression changed. The old servants who were always by his side hurriedly offered him magic pills and wine. Chen Yufu waved his hand to refuse, and used his profound skills to suppress the surging green energy between his eyebrows back into his acupoints. He then explained:
"It's actually okay, but it looks scary. However, this injury is really a slow process and it is difficult to heal quickly."

Facing the gazes of the monks at the boundary gate, he took a step forward, his lips slightly moved, and used a sound transmission method:

"The God King is not in Xuhuangtian now. He seems to be in the underworld somewhere in the netherworld. It will take some time for him to return.

The fact that the real person has gone to such great lengths to come to Xuhuang in person is not just because of me, Chen Yufu, but also because there are many people in Xuhuangtian who have high hopes for this..."

Chen Yufu looked at Chen Heng steadily and said earnestly:
"I came here specially to tell you this matter frankly. I want to say that Xuhuangtian is not a vicious place. Please wait patiently and don't doubt me!"

After saying this, Chen Yufu couldn't help but look solemn.

But when he saw Chen Heng nod in agreement, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders and his mood became much better.

In fact, Chen Yufu was worried that Chen Heng would have doubts, so he took the initiative to volunteer to personally drive the treasure ship to meet him despite his injuries.

After all, he and Chen Heng had met once in Xiaoming Daze, and they had some impression of each other.

If other members of the Xuhuang Chen family were to do this task, Chen Yufu might not achieve the same results as he expected.

While the two were talking, the huge noise caused by the treasure ship also alarmed the great monks in Suixing Land.

All around them there were rays of light rising into the sky. The three-eyed deity, Sui Xing Di Jun, was surrounded by them and flew towards them on a golden lotus.

The man stared in astonishment at the treasure ship that stretched across the sky, unable to take his eyes off it for a long time.

And when his sleeve was secretly pulled by the attendant and his eyes fell on Chen Yufu, he was even more surprised and frightened, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

As the God of Sui Xing Di, he had made great efforts in the past to learn about the information of the powerful neighbor Xuhuang Chen family, which naturally included Chen Yufu in front of him.

Although Chen Yufu's cultivation level is not enough to stand on his own, he is a man of strategy and is well-known for his wisdom in the Xuhuang Chen family. Therefore, he is highly regarded by Chen Yu.

Chen Yufu was often present in all foreign affairs and conquests, so he was given the nickname "Dog Who Breaks the Door" by people from several nearby celestial bodies.

Suddenly seeing Chen Yufu's figure, the God of Punishment thought that he had been disrespectful in some way, or that several secrets he had committed in the past year had been exposed.

Just as he was about to step forward to apologize, trembling with fear, he finally noticed Chen Heng's face. He blinked and hesitated at first, then stopped in shock.

However, before the Earth God could joyfully step forward to pay his respects, Chen Yufu simply raised his hand, and the two men disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a treasure ship on the cloud suddenly flew up into the sky, causing Sui Xing Dijun, who wanted to show his courtesy but was not able to do so, to shake his head and sigh endlessly.

Good air swirled, divine light shone--

After boarding the treasure ship, Chen Heng looked around. There were pavilions, palaces, and courtyards everywhere. It was like a large city that could accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers.

But the most eye-catching thing are the 800 golden sails arranged on the left and right. Each mast is big enough to be embraced, blocking out the sun and connecting with the clouds. On the sails are painted with vermilion lacquer a kind of three-legged divine bird with a dragon head, which looks lifelike, solemn and brilliant.

"This ship was the vehicle that the God King rode before he became enlightened. It has the ability to escape into space and break through boundaries. I took this ship out from the treasury, so there is no need to go through the boundary gate again."

Chen Yufu briefly explained at this time, and when he saw Chen Heng's eyes fall on the rows of golden sails, he smiled and said:

"As for the sail on this ship, it also has some origins. The divine bird on the sail is called 'Long Meng'. It is an extraordinary species specially cultivated by Zhu Jingtian's Shenxiao Sect. Not only does it have dragon power, it is also born with the ability to attract Yuan magnetism and fly across Yin and Yang.

When the Shenxiao Sect was still in existence, countless sects came to ask for this "Long Meng", and some even held a special ceremony to obtain it. Unfortunately, the prosperity is no longer there..."

When he finished speaking, Chen Yufu's voice couldn't help but be sentimental.

Before the Shenxiao Sect was brutally destroyed by the previous God King of Xuhuangtian, this immortal sect was a strong pillar for the Chen family.

If it weren't for the protection of the Shenxiao Sect, Chen Yu's father would have died in the turmoil of the Demon Land. How could the Chen family have risen to power? How could Chen Yu have achieved the glory he did later?

When talking about these past events, Chen Yufu couldn't help but have more thoughts.

Ever since they parted at Xiaoming Daze, he had been very supportive of Chen Heng's entry into Xuhuangtian.

He did not hide his enthusiastic attitude, and no one knew how much criticism he had caused in Xuhuangtian.

However, Chen Heng had never received any favors from the Chen family before, but was repeatedly troubled by Chen Yushu.

If you want this person to identify more with the Xuhuang Chen family, you can't be impatient, you need to start slowly from the details, and the old stories of the family are a good topic to start with.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Chen Yufu's mind became active.

After inviting Chen Heng into a hall and seating the host and guest, he began to talk.

Since Chen Heng needed help from someone, he would not spoil his interest for nothing and just pretended to listen quietly.

Even as the story was being told, the treasure ship had already flown to the depths of the boundless universe, with its sails spread out like wings, constantly penetrating through the layers of emptiness and silence.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, a string of golden bells suddenly rang under the eaves of the palace. A few breaths later, the sound of jingling bells filled the room.

At this time, the treasure ship spirit, who looked like a young man in golden clothes, appeared, bowed to the two people in the hall, and raised his hand to point to the outside.

"Looks like we've arrived."

Chen Yufu smiled upon seeing this, and although he felt a little unsatisfied, he stopped talking and warmly invited Chen Heng to go out.

When they walked out of the hall, the treasure ship had passed Xuhuangtian's protective formation and truly fell into the divine sky.

Everywhere you look, you can see the blue sea and green mountains, boundless and limitless, the emerald green is dark blue, the spiritual energy is overflowing, there are fish and dragons leaping in the sea, and flocks of birds flying in the sky, it is truly full of vitality.

There are two big suns in the sky, one in the east and one in the west, illuminating billions of miles. Their bright light shows the wonders of nature!

"This is... the power of incense and vows."

When the treasure ship moved to a continent and approached downward, Chen Heng could vaguely hear continuous prayers.

He used his magical powers to take a closer look and saw that there were many temples in the city below the clouds. Although the images of the many gods enshrined in the side halls were different, there was a tablet in the main hall for all of them, with eight large golden characters "Chi Jing Tao Rong Wan Fu Shen Wang" inscribed on it.

And the prayers definitely did not only come from the secular city.

Countless gods are either in the air, in the water, or on the land. Numerous large and small divine kingdoms are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, taking root in this universe. Among them, the prayers to the God King Xuhuang are numerous.

The mighty incense and wish power were almost visible to the naked eye, rising from the four wastelands and eight poles, all merging into the great sun in the west, and then melting into the sea like ink, without causing any waves. "The sun is always turning, and the wish power is boundless..."

After a moment of silence, Chen Heng praised and sighed:

"It is worthy of being the great era where the gods appear. It really lives up to its reputation!"

……

……

The seven states and seven seas were created by the mysterious void. The sky produces nectar and the ground has sweet springs.

Although it is not one of the sixteen great heavens, but with the geographical inspiration of Xuhuang Heaven, it deserves praise even among the many heavens in the world of the living. It is a superior and good world.

At this time, as Chen Yufu was narrating, the treasure ship also flew around in the sky, as if it wanted to carry him around the seven states and seven seas.

In fact, it has been less than two thousand years since Chen Yu conquered the remaining fifty-five resisting divine kingdoms and unified all living things on land and sea.

Looking down from the treasure ship, Chen Heng saw mostly prosperous scenes with fertile land, abundant resources and a prosperous people, but there were also some tragic scenes of collapsed mountains and submerged land, which were shocking to see.

"This mountain is called Shangguo. It was once a great scenic spot in Xuhuang Heaven. In the past, the God King had a decisive battle with the God of Dharma here. Under the aftermath, Shangguo Mountain was almost crushed into dust. Even now, the gods of Xuhuang Heaven have been unable to use their great divine power to completely reunite it."

When the treasure ship arrived at Darenzhou, Chen Yufu, who was originally very interested, suddenly looked very serious. He sighed and pointed to a ruin.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Chen Heng saw a huge deep pit in the center of the ruins. Even the thousand-foot-high broken mountain beside it looked like a tiny piece of mud. From time to time, black gas spurted out of the pit, covering the sky and the sun, and constantly eroding the surrounding world.

The Fa Chi Shen that Chen Yufu mentioned was none other than the former God King in Xuhuang Heaven. It was He who caused the demise of Shenxiao Sect, and it was also He who personally destroyed the Chen family's ancestral land, the Demonic Land.

Once upon a time, the God of Dharma was the dark sky covering the heads of all the Chen clan members, and it was difficult to shake him.

But now, he has lost his minions and was completely expelled from Xuhuang. Later, he seemed to have been captured by Chen Yu, and his life or death is unknown.

As the treasure ship sped along, Chen Heng saw that not only Shangguo Mountain, but the entire Darenzhou was in a state of ruin.

Under the command of the gods, numerous strong men continued to move mountains and rocks, and build altars, in order to gradually regulate the qi and eliminate evil, and repair the heaven and earth.

However, among them, there is a group of people who are particularly different. There are both old and young, and their cultivation levels are also different.

When the treasure ship passed through the sky, most of the gods and strong men and servants in Darenzhou were very respectful, but they seemed to know who was sitting in the treasure ship, and their expressions were different.

Moreover, this kind of people seem to be isolated from others and kept at a distance.

"These... are Chen Yushu's former subordinates."

Chen Yufu was silent for a while, then shook his head helplessly:

"These people are all stubborn and unruly. Because of what happened in the past, they were banished to this Great Renzhou to be punished. It is difficult for them to escape."

"Chen Yushu still has old subordinates in Xuhuangtian?"

Chen Heng pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke, his eyes fixed:
"I haven't asked you yet, but I have always had a puzzle in my heart. It is said that Chen Yushu was expelled because he committed a serious offense. But considering Chen Yushu's status in Xuhuangtian, why was he expelled?"

After asking this question, Chen Yufu showed a rare look of embarrassment and hesitation on his face, and he was unable to speak.

"This matter, this matter is the same as the Dharma holding the god..."

Chen Yufu was about to say something, but finally there was a loud noise coming out of a deep pit on Shangguo Mountain, shaking the earth. A huge snake head slowly emerged from the deep pit, and that made Chen Yufu stop talking.

"Don't worry. Mao Zun is the mount of the God King. He is here to nourish the earth lungs of Darenzhou on the orders of the God King. On weekdays, he..."

Chen Yufu felt relieved. Before he could finish his words, the giant snake interrupted him:
"Grandpa usually hides in the depths of the earth like a turtle, and rarely comes out to breathe. How can he be as carefree as Zhulong and Zhihun Monk?"

Chen Yufu gave a helpless smile, but the giant snake no longer paid attention to him and turned its attention to Chen Heng.

"There really is a descendant of Chen Yushu other than Xiangxian who entered Xuhuangtian. Were you not joking at the time, Master?

Could it be that he is really too lazy to take care of Tianyu's miscellaneous affairs and wants to find someone to share the burden with him? But what should I do? Then I don't have to bear this hard task, right?"

The giant snake muttered to itself, making the gods around it wish they had covered their ears and pretended they didn't hear it. Then the giant snake raised its body from underground, slowly raised its head to the sky, and looked straight at Chen Heng on the boat:
"The body is quite interesting, a first-grade golden elixir, a good seedling."

"You are too kind, senior." Chen Heng bowed and said.

The giant snake chuckled and said in a muffled voice:
"This is our first meeting, and I'm a poor fellow, so I don't have anything good to give you as a gift. So I'll give you a scale to play with."

A gray light like a waterfall fell down, and after being caught by Chen Heng, it turned into a crescent-shaped gray scale, which was cold to the touch.

Seeing the giant snake throw away its scales and run away, Chen Yufu was slightly surprised.

However, Chen Heng seemed to see through his previous embarrassment and did not ask him about the old incident again, which made Chen Yufu secretly relieved.

After all, it is taboo for His Holiness.

Although he was highly valued, he was still hesitant to speak up since it concerned Chen Yu's personal affairs.

As the treasure ship continued to fly, it passed through the remaining states one by one, enjoying the scenery.

Seeing the continuous transmission of talismans and spiritual lights, and the magic jade on his waist vibrating continuously, Chen Yufu finally drove the treasure ship to a beautiful island and landed in a large green palace on the island.

"The God King is still in the netherworld, and the several people in charge in the heavens also have their own duties. Master Chen should just rest well here for the next few days, and there is no need to bother visiting them.

I will send my child here later. If you have any instructions, please feel free to ask my child to do it.

By the way, the younger generation of the clan will hold a treasure party soon, and you may go and have some fun..."

After getting off the boat, Chen Yufu gave some instructions first, then solemnly handed over a golden purple fish talisman and said seriously:

"With this item in hand, a True Person can travel freely in most of the lands of Xuhuang Heaven.

To be honest, if I had this special opportunity, the first place I would go would be the Great Sutra Tower on Pengyuan Island!"

"Even the Sutra Library of Xuhuangtian can I enter?" Chen Heng was surprised.

"This is exactly what the God King meant. There are nine floors in the Sutra Tower, and real people can enter seven of them." Chen Yufu said solemnly.

After Chen Heng took the fish token and expressed his gratitude, the two exchanged a few more polite words. Then Chen Yufu smiled and took his leave, disappearing into the clouds.

"Is this Xuhuangtian's Sutra Tower?"

Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then looked up and saw that in the green palace not far away, there were already hundreds of beautiful girls and maids lined up to greet him, like a bright spring day with all kinds of beauty competing for splendor.

At this time, drums and music played together, sheng and pipes played softly, and all kinds of wonderful scenes appeared in the sky, making this land, which was already full of clouds and mist, look more like a fairyland, making people feel elated.

He smiled, rubbed the fish talisman in his hand, and walked forward.

Five days later.

Xuhuangtian, Yanghaozhou.

The hall was filled with silence, and everyone had a puzzled look on their face. Even the maids on both sides lowered their heads and dared not make the slightest noise.

After a long time, a voice finally sounded helplessly:
"There's no point in procrastinating. There's no point in thinking hard. Should we go and see him?"

"Meeting whom?"

"Meet the Crown Prince." The voice sounded sarcastic, but also helpless.
