Chapter 721: Thunder, Fire, Plague
Peng Zu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then temporarily took up a position as a minor official in the [Mountain and Water Department] among the four departments, thus becoming a member of the Heavenly Palace.

However, unknown to Peng Zu, behind the scenes, several immortals in the Supervisory Department were surrounding a Taoist mirror that was filled with immortal aura and clear Taoist light.

"I can't see anything unusual about Peng Zu in the Immortal Mirror."

"The Book of Life and Death in his Soul Court is indeed independent, and shows no signs of being controlled by Youlu."

"We borrowed the authority of the Zhoutian Yisuan formation from the [Xingxiu Department] and simulated Peng Zu's life. He acted righteously, and even though he was born in Youlu, he was not an evil person. In the future, he will be a general of my Tiangong!"

"The Ministry of Plague has investigated and found that there is no bad karma attached to this person by others, which means that he is not the puppet of someone who is plotting against him by other forces."

"The Fire Department has checked and found no abnormalities in the Eighth Rank Immortal Move [Seeing Through Fire]."

"The Thunder Department has checked, and the Eighth Transformation Dao Treasure [Exorcise Evil] has no reaction to this person."

"The Mountain and Water Department has checked and found nothing abnormal with the ancient mountain Taoist treasure [The True Appearance of Mount Lu]."

"The Rain Department has checked, the best rain in the world, Dao Tai [Moistens things silently] knows that people are like spring, and do not see the evil autumn."

"The Cloud Department has investigated and found that the Cloud Emperor's heirloom [Where Do the Clouds Originate] traced its origin to the cloud soil and found that it came from the Yellow Region. It was determined that it was melted in middle age and his cultivation had never been hidden."

The four parts of the heavenly palace are thunder, fire and plague.

The lower four sections are the star section, the mountain and water section, the rain section, and the cloud section.

The eight tribes of the Heavenly Palace all used their own methods to investigate Peng Zu and reached a unanimous conclusion that there was nothing wrong with Peng Zu.

In fact, Peng Zu relied on his own [Heavenly Secret] Soul Court, and he always paid attention to his own behavior, so he was not exposed.

At the beginning, whether it was the Taoist biography or the palace lanterns in the mermaid soul court, they all wanted to use the [Heavenly Secret] soul court to secretly plot something.

On the surface, Peng Zu had only been examined by the three cloud immortals in charge of the Ministry, but in reality he had been checked by the entire Heavenly Palace. Because there were no problems, he was able to enter the Mountains and Waters Department and become a cloud official.

He did not have a good family background like Fu Chou, so he could not enter the powerful Doubu at the beginning.

But Peng Zu was not in a hurry. Since he had already entered the Heavenly Palace, he would always have the opportunity to show his talents.

The next action of Tiangong is to attack Youlu.

It just so happened that he needed to eat Qi to nourish his longevity. With the identity of Tiangong Yunxiu, he could legitimately become the enemy of Youlu Qidao Yunxiu, and he didn't have to restrain himself like before.

However, after becoming a cloud cultivator in the Heavenly Palace, the efficiency of the Book of Life and Death in recording names of other ordinary paths might be reduced. If one wants to increase the restraining effect on other paths, it is estimated that it will take until the Five Realms are at the same time, when there will be enough people to kill.

A few days later, Peng Zu adapted to his identity as a cloud official and had time to take out the scales given to him by the Fairy Gushe in the Mengdao Cave to study them.

While he was studying, the cloud formation outside the residence was disturbed. It turned out that someone was visiting.

After walking out of the cloud formation, Peng Zu saw the person coming and said, "Brother Fu, how are you?"

Fu Chou looked at Peng Zu's residence and smiled: "Brother Peng, are you used to living here?"

"It's much better than Youlu." Peng Zu lowered his sleeves and compared the environment of Youlu.

After saying this, both of them laughed.

After laughing, Fu Chou straightened his face and said, "Brother Peng, I have asked Master for permission to transfer you to the Dou Department in the near future to be in charge of the war against Youlu."

Peng Zu shook his head and said, "I am tired of the days of killing people all day long. It is also good to be an ordinary cloud official in the Shanshui Department."

"Brother Peng, didn't you say that you want to establish your mission for the people and bring peace to the world for all eternity?" Fu Chou was immediately worried when he heard this. In your previous life, you were an eighth-level immortal general in the Dou Department, the number one person under the True Lord. And you want to be an ordinary cloud official in this life?
"Once you enter the fighting department, you will be able to show your skills!"

Peng Zu smiled bitterly: "Ideals are ideals, but we must also face reality."

"With my current cultivation level, if I join the Doubu to fight against Youlu, I will be dead soon."

"You don't think Youlu will stop targeting you and me from now on, do you?" Unexpectedly, Fu Chou heard this and laughed and patted Peng Zu on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter if your cultivation is low. I brought you a reward from the Dou Department. You don't have to worry about the resources before you ascend to immortality."

"Besides, once you enter the Dou Department, you won't have anything too dangerous to do at first. As long as Youlu Yunxian dares to show up, the four departments of the Heavenly Palace are not just for show!"

Peng Zu looked at the resources in Fu Chou's hands and his brows immediately relaxed.

You should have said it earlier. I acted like I wanted to retire, wasn't it just to get the resources for cultivation?

Because of my uniqueness, Tiangong is destined to train me into a sharp knife.

Therefore, under the pretext of providing a method to release the control, the Heavenly Palace sent a reward to Peng Zu. In reality, Peng Zu's strength was too low and he was of no use now.

After Fu Chou delivered the resources, he suddenly seemed to remember something and said solemnly: "Brother Peng, remember to keep the scale that Fairy Gushe gave you. That thing..."

After a short pause, Fu Chou said solemnly, "That thing is related to the great plan of our Heavenly Palace. If Brother Peng cannot understand the mystery behind it, I suggest that you present it to the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace will certainly not be stingy with its reward."

After hearing this, Peng Zu took out the scale. He felt a strong sense of dream and immortal charm from the past on it, a feeling of déjà vu.

Fu Chou said that it was related to the grand plan of the Heavenly Palace. Peng Zu was already a cloud official in the Heavenly Palace at this time, so naturally he should focus on the grand plan of the Heavenly Palace and it was also right for him to offer the scales. Therefore, he did not have the understanding of the dream way and the past way, so it was of no use keeping the scales in his hands.

Just when I was about to ask who to give it to, I only had one thought: "Don't give it to the Heavenly Palace!"

Peng Zu was stunned. Since entering the Heavenly Palace, he had rarely contacted himself in order not to attract the attention of the Heavenly Palace.

As a result, when Fu Chou suggested that the scales could be handed over to the Heavenly Palace in exchange for a reward, the original body ignored the risk and directly sent a thought to stop Sui Shen.

Liu Xun's face was solemn in the black area. He had already asked the magical power of "Ask Liu" about the scales, and it turned out to be the scales of the Great Dream Butterfly. No wonder the aura was so familiar.

The centenarian Deng Changsheng is here with me. I don’t know what relationship he has with Dameng Midie, but he can perform the reset function.

If the scales of the Great Dream Butterfly fell into the hands of the Heavenly Palace, perhaps they could be used to research something. However, if it affected Deng Changsheng and caused him to lose the ability to reset himself, that would be bad.

The use of Wen Liu's magical power this time directly brought his luck to the bottom. For a moment, Liu Xun could feel a great deal of malice, as if he had returned to the time when his luck was bad.

Reset?

The time has passed when he joined the Heavenly Palace, and he cannot go back to the previous time even if he resets. Even if he goes back to the time before he joined the Heavenly Palace, any sudden change of mind will probably attract the investigation of the Heavenly Palace.

Pretend to be lost?

It won't work. It would be fine if I just keep silent. But if I intentionally abandon the scales of the Great Dream Butterfly, it will attract attention.

Peng Zu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what the Fairy Gushe gave him was a disaster!
Knowing that there was no way to avoid the unknown consequences brought about by the Great Dream Butterfly Scales, Peng Zu did not hesitate, but instead made a decision opposite to his original intention.

"Since it is related to the great plan of the Heavenly Palace, I will offer it up."

Peng Zu had a calm expression as he handed the Great Dream Butterfly scale to Fu Chou: "Brother Fu has some connections in the Dou Department, so I will give it to you. I trust you to do the job."

When Fu Chou saw Peng Zu take out the treasure without hesitation, he was shocked by his deep sense of righteousness.

He is worthy of being the future eighth-rank warrior of the Heavenly Palace, Peng Zu, known as the Immortal of Longevity!
Liu Xun frowned slightly when he learned of Peng Zu's decision, but said nothing.

Even if it is not handed over now, the Heavenly Palace will use this item to do Peng Zu's ideological work in the future.

Since Fu Chou said that it was related to the great plans of the Heavenly Palace, judging by the future style of the Heavenly Palace, they would certainly invest a great deal of effort in it. Even using fairy treasures to exchange for the scales of the Great Dream Butterfly would be normal.

So after a little thought, Liu Xun felt that Peng Zu's approach was the best choice.

Since there is no way to avoid it, it is better to hand it over as soon as possible and gain a good reputation.

I wrote one more chapter yesterday, and I posted it here. Thank you for your continued support. My typing speed is not as fast as before, and I am busy at work during the day and take care of my children at night, so it is difficult to maintain two chapters a day.
