Journey to the head

Heming Zhenjun waved his hand and motioned Lu Qian to sit down: "Don't be nervous, what instructions do you have? It's just that you made great contributions fifty years ago. Looking back on your actions during the rebellion of the forbidden sect, who can't praise you? Heroes have always emerged from youth."

"It is our responsibility to praise and cultivate Yuheng heroes. At that time, I wanted to invite you to the banquet to show my appreciation and set an example for the monks in the lower world. It's a pity that you had no choice but to escape to the small world, and this full dragon banquet has been delayed until now."

Lu Qian declined again and again, and then heard Master Heming say, "I haven't seen you for fifty years. I see your divine light is faint, and your spiritual awareness and telekinesis must have improved. But I see that your cultivation has not increased much, and it doesn't seem like such a long time has passed. Could it be that after the small world was disconnected from Yuanchen, the speed of time in the two worlds is different?"

Lu Qian was shocked, and instantly felt as if he was seen through, as if all his secrets were exposed.

He secretly exclaimed that Taiyi Paradise was truly amazing, but he did not dare to make up stories. He could only nod and tell her some basic information about the Baoguang Realm.

Heming Zhenjun listened with great interest, and asked about the details from time to time. After Lu Qian finished speaking, he reminded Wei Zhaixing: "Today's events are all confidential, and originally it is not something that a cultivator of your level can hear. But you happened to be there, and it is also a chance for you to gain some experience. Remember not to disclose a single thing after you go back."

Wei Zhaixing was already in shock and unable to recover. The truth of this world had a huge impact on him. When he heard his master's instructions, he quickly stood up and agreed.

True Lord Heming smiled at Lu Qian and said, "To be honest, when you escaped into the small world, the masters of the Seven Constellations of the Blue Dragon were very worried, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse. Although this Treasure Light World has been assimilated by Yuan Chen and the rules of the Great Dao are the same, the situation is still unclear and we don't know what the power level is."

"It's really interesting to hear you say that you are invincible there. This is a chance. It seems that you have gained a lot in the Baoguang Realm."

Lu Qian thought about it and stood up again: "If Taiyi Paradise had not taken timely action to wipe out the dragon clan and corpse monsters, my sect might have been overthrown. I am willing to offer the things I have obtained in the Baoguang Realm to Taiyi Paradise to show my sincere heart."

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed back into his seat.

Heming Zhenjun pretended to be angry: "I am the overlord of Yuheng in Taiyi Le Tu, and I govern the ninety-nine states by the will of heaven. Do you think we would covet your opportunity? Don't worry, your things are yours, we won't take them, let alone seize them."

Lu Qian understood his hidden meaning and felt relieved. He had just made a few compliments when he was interrupted by Master Heming.

"I won't say polite words. Although you have gained a lot from traveling between the two worlds this time, I still advise you to be careful and not to be complacent. The situation in the firewood world is unclear, so you should be extremely cautious when traveling between worlds. If you enter a world full of masters, you will be isolated and helpless, and that would be a desperate situation."

Lu Qian nodded in thanks for the reminder, and Master Heming asked casually, "Besides, how do you know that your golden branch is reliable? If something goes wrong when entering the passage, it will be all over... Where did you get it from?"

Lu Qian's heart tightened, knowing that the main event was about to begin. He quickly followed the script he had prepared and said in a low voice, "Speaking of its origin, it is truly incomparably strange, and I still haven't figured it out... Since the True Lord asked about it, I can ask the Sect Leader to give me some advice to see what I encountered..."

His voice contained three parts of hesitation, three parts of doubt, three parts of excitement and one part of longing.

Wei Zhaixing listened with great curiosity and concentration, while Zhenjun Heming felt something in his heart and pricked up his ears.

"That was when I was going through the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, the five levels of thunder tribulation had clearly ended, but another level appeared and suddenly struck me."

Well, let me first point out the matter of thunder tribulation. Thunder tribulation is also a punishment from heaven. The Lord of Life and Death is known as the Lord of Ten Thousand Thunders, the King of the Thunder Pool, the Heavenly Punishment Officer, the Doctor of Heavenly Power... This will surely lead to the speculation that Taiyi Paradise is going to the Lord of Life and Death.

It’s a pity that the power of life and death lies with the Lord of Heaven, so I cannot openly use his banner. But as long as you make your own guesses, I can give you a big scare!
And Heming Zhenjun nodded secretly. In fact, after Lu Qian came into his sight because of Fairy Yue, although he was not allowed to monitor him in any way and had to ignore Yunshan and let him go, he would not do nothing. The information he could collect had already been compiled into a book.

Among them, there is naturally the record that caused a sensation back then, in which Lu Qian’s golden elixir tribulation suddenly increased by one level, causing Lu Qian to disappear for a while. Then Lu Qian suddenly appeared under the moonlight and killed the enemy’s Nascent Soul together with his companions.

The intelligence was very clear, the moon was at its zenith and they were returning on the moon, that's right, it fits the Moon Fairy perfectly.

Lu Qian continued, "At that time, I thought I was going to die, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pure white space."

Hey, listen, pure white, it should remind you of the Pure Land of the Lord of Life and Death.

Lord Heming looked solemn.

Pure white? Could that be the heaven? I have only heard that the Moon Fairy's heaven is called "Moon Palace Heaven", but I don't know what it looks like. But thinking about the bright and clean moonlight, pure white, it does look like the characteristics of the Moon Fairy's heaven.

Lu Qian: "In that space, I met a person, but I couldn't see his face clearly."

Alas, we can’t describe his appearance directly, otherwise, if he loses his legs and right arm, once these features are revealed, for Taiyi Le Tu, who knows the Heavenly King well, wouldn’t that be like naming and condemning the Heavenly King?
In short, no words that can directly point to the Lord of Life and Death can be said directly.

Master Heming nodded slowly.

By the way, Fairy Yue wants to hide her identity, so of course she won’t show her true face to Lu Qian, so he can’t see it clearly.

Lu Qian continued: "That person said that I have a deep fortune, and he is searching for a predestined person in the myriad worlds, so that we can work together to uphold the righteous path of the worlds in the future. So he gave me a golden branch as a foundation for protecting the path, and in an instant sent me out of the space and back to the mountain gate."

The Lord of Life and Death monitors the heavens and suppresses the myriad worlds. Am I right? Now if I say vaguely, "supporting the righteous path of all worlds," it will surely arouse people's imagination, so let Taiyi Paradise guess.

Master Heming widened his eyes.

Not bad!
According to legend, the Moon Fairy rides on the Toad Palace, patrolling the night sky and correcting the worlds.

Right, all right!

Lu Qian got the golden branch from Fairy Yue!
"Until now, I still don't know who the person I met is. Now I have told you everything, and I would like to ask for your advice. Does you have any guesses?" Lu Qian said in a very sincere tone.

Go ahead and guess.

Heming Zhenjun sat upright, stroking the short beard on his chin: "Well, there are countless strange people and things in this world, and wonderful opportunities are happening all the time. Based on your description alone, it is still very vague and it is indeed difficult to make an effective guess."

Guess? Guess what!
Who else besides Moon Fairy? !

Fairy Yue has really put in a lot of effort and taken great care of this younger generation!
But Fairy Yue had instructed that Lu Qian must not know her, so now he could only lie with his eyes open.

"But judging by the miraculous effects of this treasure, he must be a great figure. Since you are lucky enough to meet him, Lu Qian, you must cherish the opportunity, practice well, and support the righteous path and protect the people in the future, so as not to disappoint her expectations."

Lu Qian nodded slowly, looking very terrified and willing to learn.

Zhenjun Heming had an idea in mind, and asked how the golden branch opened the firewood world.

Even now, Lu Qian still doesn't understand the principles behind the mysterious golden tree and Polygonatum sibiricum branches. He only learns how to use them after repeated experiments.

Facing the question from the True Lord, Lu Qian told him what he had observed. True Lord Heming pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a long while, he spoke again.

"Lu Qian, this golden branch is truly mysterious and extraordinary, and its magic is far beyond imagination. Perhaps in the future, my sect may need it. When that happens, I would like you to lend a helping hand and let my sect borrow the power of the golden branch. I will definitely reward you handsomely. Are you willing?"

After confirming that the golden branch indeed came from the Moon Fairy, this was the most important task assigned by the Immortal Lord Taogu.

The new small world that our immortal king discovered in the void might be opened using the golden branches, without having to spend hundreds or thousands of years of hard work?

But before, there was a lot of debate among the Seven Stars of Canglong about whether "can they borrow the golden branch from Lu Qian?"

One side believes that the golden branch is such a precious treasure, and it is the biggest trump card that the Moon Fairy has given to the younger generation. If we bypass the Moon Fairy and borrow it from Lu Qian, it will inevitably create a feeling of bullying the weak, and we are afraid that the Moon Fairy will blame us in the future.

The other party said that since the treasure had been given, it belonged to Lu Qian, and he was the one who could decide whether to use it or borrow it, and there was nothing wrong with borrowing it from Lu Qian. Besides, it was not borrowed for free, so they could take this opportunity to pay Lu Qian a high reward.

He made friends with Lu Qian without making a sound, and within the rules set by Fairy Yue, he gave Lu Qian the greatest benefits and help.

It really kills two birds with one stone, it couldn't be more perfect!

In the end, the second party convinced the first party, so the Immortal Lord instructed that at this banquet, True Lord Heming should first sound out Lu Qian's attitude.

Then Lu Qian stood up and said, "Taiyi Le Tu has saved my Yunshan many times. They think highly of me when they asked me for help. How can I deserve a word of thanks? Please speak up anytime, Master Zhenjun!"

Master Heming couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Great! We finally didn't make a mistake! Come, have another drink!"

The True Lord waved his hand, and the Fairy Princess who had originally avoided him hurried up to pour wine and serve him attentively. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lu Qian with curiosity and admiration.

They didn't hear the conversation just now, but they had never seen Zhenjun Heming, who was a patrol envoy, be so polite to a Yuanying from the lower world.

Who is this person?

After a few more drinks, this magical wine tasted delicious, but had a long aftertaste. Now that the alcohol was slowly taking effect, Lu Qian felt hot all over, full of energy and enthusiasm.

What kind of magical ingredient is this brewed from?
Under the influence of alcohol, he took the initiative to ask: "May I ask, Master, when will I need the golden branch?"

Heming Zhenjun smiled and said, "This is a serious matter. How can I decide it by myself? It must be decided by the Immortal Lord and the Blue Dragon Seven Stars."

As he spoke, he suddenly became serious again: "Besides, things have changed now. The lower world continent has been experiencing frequent changes, which has greatly distracted our attention and increased the variables."

Lu Qian suddenly remembered what he had just seen, the murderous military formation that stretched from sky to earth, the huge airships, and all kinds of war beasts. Even the Nascent Soul could only serve as messengers in it.

In the words of Master Heming, this was just a small army.

"Master, what happened on Yuheng Continent? Please tell us a little. We in Cangzhou have been badly hurt and our strength has not recovered. If we encounter a disaster, we may not be able to cope with it. It is better to prepare early."

Heming Zhenjun shook his head: "This is not something you Cangzhou can prepare for."

He put down his glass and became completely serious: "Have you ever heard of the Hundred Clans Underground?"

Lu Qian sat up straight, feeling heavy in his heart. Is this really the case?

Ningzhou Wuliangxuanjun said that recently, the hundreds of tribes underground have been making frequent movements, and the monsters have been making trouble and often invading the ground. Taiyi Paradise has issued a warning order, and all states must immediately eliminate the underground monsters once they are found.

But now it seems that the situation is more serious than imagined!
Seeing that Lu Qian understood something, True Lord Heming did not beat around the bush: "The hundreds of clans underground have been silent for thousands of years, and now they suddenly emerge, they have great ambitions."

"In the past few decades, they only appeared in various places and caused riots. Now it seems that this is their way of gathering intelligence and testing the strength of the human race."

"And just yesterday, the wild lands near the Starry Sea at the north and south ends of my Yuheng Continent, the eight states where humans, monsters, beasts, ghosts, etc. originally lived in chaos, were suddenly occupied by hundreds of underground races that emerged overnight!"

Lu Qian took a deep breath. Are the hundreds of tribes underground officially declaring war on the ground?

Moreover, although the occupation of eight states overnight caught people by surprise and the human power in the occupied states was weak, it already reflected that the hundreds of underground races were coming in full force. Is a full-scale war imminent?
"What's even more troublesome is that the other five continents are quite peaceful, but the hundreds of clans in the underground are targeting Yuheng Continent and starting to cause trouble. It's really tricky."

Lu Qian suddenly realized that the hundreds of underground tribes were a collective term for the demon tribes that were driven underground by humans. They existed not only on the Yuheng Continent, but also on the other five continents!

But now, the hundreds of underground tribes are only launching attacks on the Yuheng Continent, which is very unfavorable for Taiyi Paradise.

"Has the war between humans and demons started again?" Lu Qian asked in surprise.

But Heming Zhenjun shook his head: "It's hard to say. After occupying the eight states, they suddenly stopped. Anyway, Taogu Xianjun has led a team to negotiate with their Xianjun to see what they are up to."

"For the time being, please stay alert and wait for orders. If anything unexpected happens, I, Taiyi Paradise, will naturally issue instructions in the next few days."

"But you don't have to worry too much." Master Heming's expression softened a little. "With my Taiyi Paradise supporting us, the sky won't fall!"

The banquet finally ended in laughter, and True Lord Heming sent Lu Qian and Wei Zhaixing back to the underworld.

After the banquet, the relationship with Heming Zhenjun became much closer. However, when it was time to say goodbye, the alcohol became stronger and stronger, and it was very strange. There was a burning sensation in my lower abdomen, and a primitive impulse kept attacking my sea of ​​consciousness. When those fairy dancers approached, the fragrance spread, and it aroused the gang's attention.

Lu Qian did not dare to look any longer and hurried out of the cave curtain. Seeing how embarrassed he looked, True Lord Heming burst into laughter.

"Master, what's the secret in that wine?"

Heming Zhenjun patted Lu Qian's shoulder and said, "Go find your wife quickly."

He blinked his eyes: "This dragon whip wine is not so easy to digest." (End of this chapter)
