Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 780 Meeting the Emperor

"Qi Xian, the seat of the Emperor Dongji, is here to visit Junior Brother Taixu."

A deep voice was heard in the Lingxu Mountains.

The middle-aged Taoist priest with black and white hair on his temples slowly stepped onto the half-fallen cliff and bowed to the old man in front of him: "Greetings, Senior Lingxu."

When ordinary disciples met the Golden Immortal, they would address him as Uncle or Uncle, but Qixian used the title "Senior".

Lingxuzi nodded and didn't think it was wrong.

To be precise, this Master Qixian is not a fellow disciple of the other younger generations. He is a wandering figure affiliated with the Dongji Emperor's Palace and only takes orders from the Emperor.

He can directly meet with first-rank giants, and his status is not much different from that of the Golden Immortals.

He is much older than Youyao, Lishan and the others. The reason why he addresses the younger disciples as peers is, firstly, because he is still a third-grade cultivator, and secondly, he wants to take advantage of an opportunity to participate in the catastrophe as a younger generation.

"My disciple is recuperating in the back mountains. What do you want to see him for?"

"It's nothing important. Qixian knows that my junior brother is very advanced, so I came here to ask for advice."

Listening to the polite words of this young man, Lingxuzi pondered for a moment, obviously a little reluctant.

After all, Shen Yi is already very famous now, and fortunately Qing Guangzi has suppressed him, so he can stay here in peace and calm down for a while.

Now even Qixian has to come to visit in person. If this little disciple really gets too cocky, how can he still look down on Lingxu Cave?

But if I just refuse, it would seem a bit petty.

Lingxuzi waved his hand: "Go ahead."

"Thank you, senior."

Qixian stood up and walked towards the back mountain.

Soon, he saw the familiar face in a quiet cave.

The young man was still sitting cross-legged in meditation quietly, with his hair tied up with a gold hairpin, a jade belt tied around his waist, and a black robe that made his already fair face look even more earthy.

Even the magical power that was previously used to cover his face had been removed at this moment.

Just sitting there gives people a sense of majestic dignity.

Haha... Qixian sneered in his heart. Clothes make the man, saddles make the horse. He really perked up.

But that's a good thing.

Just from the action of changing clothes in a hurry, it can be seen that the other party previously restrained his edge just to blend in with Beizhou's forbearance. Now that he has gained the upper hand, he can't control his true nature.

It was the combination of powerful strength and meticulous mind that made Master Taixu the one who shocked his fellow disciples in Beizhou. Without the latter, he would be nothing more than a reckless man with empty strength.

"Brother Taixu, we meet again."

Master Qixian forced a smile, lowered himself and took the initiative to salute the other party.

He did not give Shen Yi a chance to speak. After all, if this person brought up the incident at Tianta Mountain, it would be embarrassing for him. “You have been reflecting on yourself in this mountain for several months. It was Youyao’s fault. There is no need to blame yourself too much. In addition, the situation in Beizhou is becoming more and more turbulent. I came here today to invite you to travel around.”

"Would you please do me the honor?"

"..."

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

After going through so many things, he is no longer the insect demon disciple with a poor background. If he wants to continue to stay in the Three Immortals Sect, it is inevitable for him to interact with other members of the sect.

After all, if one wants to find out information about the sect, one cannot rely solely on the Human Emperor.

"Please." Shen Yi nodded his chin.

"Junior brother, it's great."

Master Qixian glanced in the direction of the half-fallen cliff. What they wanted to discuss today must not be heard by that old man.

Thinking of this, he turned around with a smile, summoned the auspicious cloud, and quickly flew out of the Lingxu Mountains with Shen Yi.

"..."

After this period of time to digest it, Shen Yi gradually accepted the strangeness that occurred when he was promoted to the second rank.

He must have felt a little disappointed. After all, the temptation of immortality to cultivators could not be dispelled with just a few words, and even he was not immune to it.

But since it has become a fact, we can only accept it.

No matter how you look at it, he has reached the second-grade realm after all. He was not afraid when he was still a Daluo Immortal, and now that he has the means of a Golden Immortal, he will not be scared away like that.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Now he wanted to know why this servant of Emperor Dongji suddenly came to him.

"Junior brother, do you know that Beizhou has become increasingly chaotic recently?"

After leaving Lingxu Mountain, Qixian finally slowed down, turned around to look at Shen Yi, and sighed: "There have been constant frictions between fellow disciples, big and small. Just two days ago, there was a fight over a disagreement, and even a serious injury."

At this point, he smiled and said jokingly, "These things are inseparable from you, Junior Brother."

"You and I are both leaders in the church. Our every move has a profound impact. We must not set a bad example. We should also take the responsibility of rectifying the atmosphere."

"If the situation continues to remain at a stalemate, with no one in charge, how can we gather the power of the followers to fight against the monks of the Bodhi Sect?"

After Master Qixian finished speaking, he stared at Shen Yi.

But he didn't expect that the young man didn't show any strange expression on his face. He just said calmly: "I don't quite understand."

"Tsk."

Qixian was not angry, but laughed and said, "What I mean is, you can't fail to see that Senior Lingxu doesn't treat you as his disciple, right?"

"Just last time at Tianta Mountain, Senior Qingguang treated you like this, and Senior Lingxu looked like that... I'm going to say something very disrespectful, but if it wasn't for the Immortal Chiyun passing by and helping him, he might not have had the courage to save you."

"I'm lucky this time, but what about next time?"

Qixian approached slowly, with an aggressive tone: "You should know that every disciple has a senior behind him. Yes, you are indeed from the lineage of the Shangqing Sect Master. No one dares to offend the master's majesty, but there are more than one disciple in this lineage. If you throw a brick in Beizhou, it will hit a large number of Shangqing Sect Master's disciples."

"Is Lingxuzi the one who can really support you? You can't always rely on luck."

"Junior brother."

Master Qixian seemed to have forgotten the previous estrangement, and put his palm on Shen Yi's shoulder with earnest words: "Now is the time for you to make progress, but Lingxuzi pretended not to know and asked you to recuperate in the mountains."

"Oh, you know what I said before, although it was a joke, it was also true. Your attitude towards the people of the Divine Dynasty has long caused dissatisfaction among many of your fellow disciples. Of course, now that you have just vented the anger of the disciples and killed those monks, others dare not say much, but there is no such thing as unchanging kindness in the world. When this matter is forgotten, you will definitely become the target of public criticism."

“Don’t miss this opportunity!”

"..."

Shen Yi quietly shook off the other person's hand and looked up: "So?"

"So?" Master Qixian saw that the other party had taken the bait, so he put away his smile and said seriously: "So I want to introduce someone to you. Come with me quickly."

Although it was said to be an introduction, he actually came to Tianta Mountain in Kaiyuan Prefecture.

Qixian slowly stepped into the Zhenjun Temple, revealing a meaningful smile, then waved his sleeves to put the statue of Taixu Zhenjun on the altar to the ground, then respectfully took out another small statue, and carefully placed it on the altar, and bowed down devoutly.

When he stood up, he turned around and looked at Shen Yi again. Although he still had a smile on his face, his attitude had completely changed.

"..."

Shen Yi looked around silently, clearly not sensing any presence, but it was as if a pair of invisible eyes were quietly looking towards this place.

That overwhelming pressure came like a wave, making people feel a little breathless.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the exquisite statue on the altar.

Obviously, the consciousness that enveloped the immortal temple at this moment came from Emperor Dongji, one of the Six Imperial Lords who controlled the rotation of heaven and earth.

"Junior brother, I will speak frankly."

Master Qixian raised his lips slightly: "You are strong and the timing is right. You just lack some background, and I can give it to you."

"Beizhou cannot be without a master for a day. You and I will join forces to suppress Li Shan. From now on, there will be no more chaos among our fellow disciples. We will be the only one in power and share these twenty-nine prefectures."

At this moment, his true purpose was finally revealed.

Qixian and Li Shan both realized that in the current situation, it was almost impossible to forcibly suppress Shen Yi's momentum.

But compared to Li Shan who chose to imitate, he was more sensitive to the shortcomings of this Master Taixu.

"and then?"

Shen Yi stood with his hands hanging down, seemingly not realizing that this "Daoist brother" was using his power to bully others, and asked calmly.

"From what I can gather, Lingxuzi rarely talks to Junior Brother about matters related to the sect, but he just treats you as a handy item."

The corners of Master Qixian's lips slightly raised: "I'll be frank. As the head of our Three Immortal Sect, Master Yuqing wants to select twelve golden immortals. After all, when the catastrophe is over, someone will have to take charge of this world. These twelve are the ones chosen by the master, and they will surely be first-class giants in the future."

"Junior brother, as long as you are willing to help me ascend to the throne of the Immortal Emperor, the Emperor is above me. Qixian dare not say a word of falsehood. The Emperor's Mansion of Dongji will certainly do its best to push you into the ranks of the Twelve Golden Immortals, or even the head of the Golden Immortals!"

"When that time comes, you and I will be brothers. The elder brother will hold the seal and sit in the Immortal Palace, while you will be in charge of the mortal world. We will complement each other and enjoy the eternal incense."

At this point, there was a hint of bewitching in Master Qixian's voice.

He stood in front of the altar, with the statue of Emperor Dongji behind him. As the lights flickered, the swaying shadow gradually engulfed Shen Yi.

The inexplicable pressure became stronger and stronger.

Shen Yi thought that as his status improved, he would definitely attract the attention of more powerful people in the sect, but even he did not expect that the identity of this first person would be so terrifying.

Compared to the easy-going man in the imperial city's wine pool, the majesty of this Emperor Dongji is more than a hundred times higher. He doesn't even need to show his true form to intimidate people to the point of suffocation.

This is what Liu Yu really looks like.

Shen Yi raised his eyes, and facing Qixian's expectant gaze, he suddenly smiled: "What if I don't want to agree?"

"..."

Master Qixian's face froze for a moment, then he reacted. This kid had high aspirations and a big appetite, and was obviously not satisfied with a simple position of one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Tsk! Why don't you take a piss and see what kind of person you are?

No matter how strong one's cultivation is, it is limited to the third level. If everyone had followed the rules before, this strength would naturally be unmatched.

But now, the situation has become chaotic, and for the time being, the disciples are still seriously injured in the fight. If the stalemate continues, I'm afraid someone will die soon.

When casualties have become commonplace, and this boy's reputation fades with time, even if one more True Lord Taixu dies, it probably won't be a big deal.

What’s even funnier is that the rule was broken by the other party himself.

Qixian sighed lightly and acted embarrassed: "If that's the case, then I'll have to go talk to Li Shan. After all, Junior Brother is very powerful now. If we don't join forces, we won't be able to compete with him."

"But you have to think it over carefully. If I join forces with Li Shan, I can't guarantee anything else, but at least you won't be able to occupy any of the mansions. Your ambition is not to guard these five mansions for the rest of your life, right?"

"Lingxu Cave can't support your progress. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask your master if he supports you to continue to move forward. If you drag it on like this, it will only end up hurting both sides. Besides... Junior brother, don't forget that the longer you stay at night, the more dreams you will have."

"You've set a precedent, and it's a pity that you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Qi Xian raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Think about it carefully. Think clearly before you speak in front of the Emperor."

Listening to these threatening words.

Shen Yi's gaze passed Qixian and fell on the statue.

Although this man's words were a bit harsh, what he said was actually true. If he had his mind set on the position of the Immortal Emperor, Lingxuzi was really not a qualified backer. It would be better for him to settle for the second best and secure his position as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Although the transition from the second rank to the first rank depends on the immortal oath and ambition, if one can have the help of the leader and the royal energy of the people, it is only a matter of time before one reaches the first rank.

To be honest, if the group of golden immortals were asked to choose between the Immortal Emperor and the Emperor, nine out of ten would choose the latter. Although his status is lower on the surface, the former is actually just a puppet set up by the two religions and has no freedom. How can he be as free as the Emperors?

The reason why Qixian must have this position is because he represents the Dongji Emperor's Palace, and this matter is beneficial to the Emperor.

There is absolutely no need for Shen Yi to do this.

It's a win-win situation.

But it’s a pity that Shen Yi’s mind is not on this.

He took light steps and, under the puzzled gaze of Master Qixian, moved the statue of Emperor Dongji to the side, then placed his own statue back on the altar.

Seeing this, Qixian’s eyes widened instantly.

After doing all this, Shen Yi held up the Emperor's statue, turned around, and smiled softly, "You have to eat your own bitter fruit... What a coincidence, I was born with a short life, so I like to suffer a little."

Before the other party could react, he had already put away his smile, handed over the statue, and said seriously: "Junior respectfully bids farewell to Emperor Dongji."

"How dare you disrespect the Emperor!"

This familiar scene instantly reminded Qixian of their last encounter.

He couldn't believe it at all. When facing Wu Yu, this kid still spoke as harshly as ever.

Just when he was about to curse, the statue of the emperor in his hand became warm, and the stone eyes suddenly came to life, scaring Qixian so much that he quickly shut his mouth.

Facing the gaze of an emperor.

Shen Yi still maintained his neither humble nor arrogant look.

After a long time, a gentle voice was heard in the Temple of Master Taixu.

"I am waiting for the day when you come to the Emperor's Palace to pay me an audience."
