Chapter 1193 Endurance and Burden

Of course, Lin Yi is an exception.

Lin Yi's displayed talent made the Immortal King value him highly.

He quelled some of the treacherous forces of the gods for the Immortal King, making the Immortal King rely on him even more. For this reason, the Immortal King specially granted Lin Yi the privilege of freely entering and leaving the Immortal King's Palace.

Cepheus is a planet shrouded in white mist.

This planet, just like the one described in the myths of the Great Xia Dynasty, is ethereal and shrouded in mist.

Being in such an elegant environment makes one's mind inexplicably calmer.

White smoke obscured everything on the planet.

Without a specific guide or familiarity with the layout, anyone who comes here will almost certainly get lost.

There are so many important things on Cepheus.

Besides the precious materials and weapons, there is also a lot of important information that is unknown to others.

These items are located in the treasure vault and archives of Cepheus, and access to these places requires the Cepheus's authorization.

The Celestial King's authorization is one layer of protection; the security personnel residing on Celestial King's planet are another layer; and the buildings on Celestial King's planet that can be relocated at any time are also a powerful layer of protection.

Whether it was to set a trap for Lin Yi or to show that he trusted Lin Yi, the Immortal King taught Lin Yi how to identify the location of different buildings in the Immortal King Palace at different times.

Upon arriving at Cepheus, the old man Gongshu was somewhat bewildered by the vast expanse of white before him.

He couldn't understand how a celestial king who ruled over the Three Realms and Six Paths could live in such a place, where nothing could be seen except for a vast expanse of white.

Could it be that those high-ranking big shots all prefer this style of a vast, undeveloped world, where everything is still in a state of chaos?

Just as the old man Gongshu was about to ask a question, he happened to see the buildings on Celestial King Star moving.

The thick white fog was parted as the building moved.

Magnificent buildings stand on pieces of land suspended in mid-air.

The building materials used were not particularly expensive; it appeared understated yet luxurious.

The building was moving at a relatively slow speed.

Supported by the suspended ground beneath their feet, they shifted positions in a crisscrossing pattern, seemingly without any discernible pattern. After about five minutes, the shifts were complete, and the thick white fog once again enveloped the buildings, completely obscuring them.

"Let's go, old man Gongshu, I'll take you to see the Immortal King."

The Fuxi Talisman has once again entered Lin Yi's personal space.

Led by Lin Yi, the old man Gongshu passed through the thick fog and finally arrived at the most important building on the planet, the Immortal King Palace.

Normally, the Celestial King is not here.

In the palace, most of the time was spent meeting with important people and discussing important matters.

When you have nothing to do, enjoy the scenery, play chess, or meditate in a beautiful place to cultivate your mind and character.

It is truly an honor to be able to meet with the old man Gongshu today.

"You haven't been away from the upper plane for very long this time, and you're back so quickly, even taking care of the traitor issue. Is there something important you want to tell me?"

The intense enthusiasm for Gongshude that was imagined was not displayed.

Upon meeting Lin Yi, the Immortal King greeted him warmly, seemingly ignoring the old man Gongshu.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and bowed slightly to show his respect for the Immortal King.

“Good things are always something people look forward to arriving soon.” As he spoke, Lin Yi stepped aside, revealing Gongshu De who was following behind him.

"This is Gongshu De, one of the Seven Heroes of Dark Rise. This old man is not only powerful, but also proficient in enhancement techniques. He enhanced my equipment. With him involved, there will be no problem for Your Majesty to enhance your Fuxi Talisman to +99."

Secretly, it's happening.

Whenever these two words reached the ears of the Celestial King, they would always displease him.

After all, this organization had challenged his very existence.

Those guys in the Dark Rising Organization are all cunning and ambitious; they even dream of overthrowing the gods' rule over the Three Realms and Six Paths.

However, today was an exception.

During the final confrontation with the Dark Rising organization, Old Man Gongshu was no longer on Dark Rising's side.

At that time, the Immortal King received information that the old man Gongshu was dead and that the one who made the move was one of his own.

I remember when the Immortal King first heard this information, he jokingly told his people that he was quite capable, and that he could eliminate the opponent's high-ranking officials without lifting a finger or even making any arrangements.

These words, though seemingly a joke, actually revealed quite a lot of information.

The Celestial King had long known that there were problems within the Dark Empire, much like the conflicts between different factions of the gods.

Why would the Immortal King allow Gongshu De to appear in his Immortal King Palace, and why would he come here so solemnly to meet with Gongshu De? Besides the fact that Gongshu De's abilities are very important to him, it is because the Immortal King is certain that Gongshu De and the Dark Xing Organization have long been estranged.

Given Lin Yi's previous introduction of his past alliance with the old man Gongshu, the Immortal King had reason to believe in Gongshu De.

After Lin Yi finished introducing himself, Gongshu De immediately stepped forward, bowed to the Immortal King, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Gongshu De greets the Immortal King."

Seeing Gongshu De's attitude, the Immortal King was very happy.

Who wouldn't be happy to see their strength increase so significantly without any pain?

His rule needed to be thoroughly consolidated.

"Gongshu De, you are a talent. I thought you were just an engineer in charge of designing the construction of the Dark Xing organization, but I didn't expect that you would have mastered the technology of equipment enhancement. I really underestimated you and the Dark Xing organization."

Gongshu hurriedly thanked the Immortal King for his praise.

"Your Excellency is too kind. Compared to your strength, the skill I possess is nothing."

Gongshu De's tone was perfectly normal.

However, the Celestial King still had doubts.

Gongshu De's initial stance was that of the Dark Rising Organization. Given their ability to enhance equipment, why didn't Gongshu De use it sooner to help the Dark Rising leadership? Not to mention others, at least in the past few thousand years, it would have allowed the Seven Heroes of Dark Rising to have full sets of +99 equipment.

Despite having been a member of Dark Star for so long and a high-ranking member, Gongshu has never demonstrated his abilities.

"Your Majesty, you should know the principle that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' I am a survivor from Azure Star, as you know. Back then, your order was to leave Azure Star utterly annihilated, let alone us Enhancers. The reason I was able to leave the Upper Plane alive was because your people helped me."

"People should know how to be grateful. Once the news spreads that I can upgrade the equipment to a high level, the benefactor from back then will inevitably be implicated. I, Gongshu, cannot do such a thing."

Such an answer was so perfect that even the Celestial King could not find any fault with it.

However, the Celestial King has one last question.

Knowing who ordered the annihilation of Azure Star, doesn't Gongshu De harbor any hatred in his heart? How could he still come here to do things for the Immortal King? If this doubt is not dispelled, the Immortal King will certainly not be able to completely trust Gongshu De.
