Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 486: Second World War in the Clouds! (Two in One)

"Hmm?" Song Changming frowned slightly.

After raising it for so many years, the little phoenix has never left his residence.

Although the buzzard came from time to time, it never took the little phoenix away.

This is the first time this has happened.

"Did you give any reason?" Song Changming asked.

"Sister Buteo didn't say much, just said she would come back. Xiao Huang seemed very happy, saying that she was going to the Nine Netherworld to look for treasure or something," Su Qingqing replied.

After hearing this, Song Changming's brows finally relaxed.

The buteo did not come forcefully, nor did it leave without saying goodbye. It did not take the little phoenix away by force, which meant that it was not a bad thing.

just.

"The land of Nine Netherworlds? Treasure hunting?" Song Changming pondered for a moment and made some inferences in his mind.

Su Qingqing didn't understand why, but he wondered if the big buzzard monster was going to take the little phoenix into the entrance to the Tianxu realm in the Nine Netherworld!
The two key words, Nine Netherworlds and treasure hunting, made it difficult for him not to associate it with the Tianxu Realm.

And if the great buzzard demon really wanted to go to Tianxu Realm, based on this inference, she must have received some news in advance and knew that the entrance to Tianxu Realm was about to open, which is why she set off so suddenly!
"Is the Tianxu Realm about to open?" Song Changming murmured to himself.

But this was just his unilateral inference. However, combined with the fact that the imperial banquet was held in advance, he couldn't help but feel that it was really possible.

"If that's the case, it will be really lively then."

Song Changming put away the jade slip of communication and withdrew his thoughts, not thinking about it any more.

The next day, early in the morning.

Song Changming followed King Cui, stepped onto the jade steps, and headed towards the Yunzhong Palace, the highest point in the city.

Although he had been to Yundi City many times, the only opportunity he had to ascend the Yunzhong Palace and meet Emperor Yun was at the Imperial Banquet twenty-five years ago.

During this period, he never set foot in the Yunzhong Palace again, nor did he see Emperor Yun again.

Climbing all the way up, it feels like slowly stepping into the clouds.

The spiritual energy swirled and condensed into tangible mist, surrounding the entire magnificent palace.

When Song Changming and Prince Cui arrived at the palace gate, they were led into the palace by a servant without waiting too long.

Song Changming noticed that at this year's imperial banquet, the seating arrangements of Prince Cui and himself were different from last time.

His seat among the thirty-six kings became much higher.

King Xia, who had originally sat next to them, was now seven or eight seats away from them.

The seating arrangement is obviously quite particular.

Even if Song Changming didn't ask more questions, he could still infer it.

This is either based on the personal cultivation strength of the thirty-six kings, or based on the ranking of their fiefdoms, or both are taken into consideration.

Today, King Cui's personal cultivation strength has reached the late Grandmaster level, and is still continuing to improve and become stronger. In addition, after eradicating the Su family, the blood-sucking cancer, Cuibai Dao has also made considerable progress in the past twenty years.

Therefore, it is basically reasonable that King Cui’s rank has been elevated this time.

After King Cui took his seat, other kings soon came to greet him, and their enthusiasm was much higher than before.

Cuibai Road is located in the south of Yunzhou. It is considered a small border area in Yunzhou. Even under the oppression of the Su family in the past, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a remote and poor place.

Under such circumstances, King Cui was really looked down upon in the past.

And now, King Cui finally felt proud and responded to the kings with a smile on his face.

"This kid..." King Xia, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw King Cui smiling brightly, with a hint of envy in his tone.

Song Changming sat behind Queen Cui, his eyes fixed on the hall, and he glanced at the entourage brought by the kings and ministers.

Soon, he found many familiar faces.

Such as the extremely powerful Situ Ming who had fought against him in the past, as well as Hua Qingchi, a descendant of the imperial Hua family, and Bai Qing, a member of the imperial city Bai family who won the ticket to Tianxu Realm last time.

These three people can be said to be the three strongest and most popular giants in the last fight in the clouds!

They are also the three people who left the deepest impression on Song Changming.

In addition, there were quite a few unfamiliar master-level experts who came this time.

In fact, Song Changming soon realized that the entourage brought by the kings this time were all master warriors!
There is not a single outstanding genius with the strength of the innate perfection realm this time!

For example, King Rui, who had a grudge against King Cui, also replaced his entourage with a master-level strength this time.

"Could it be that the threshold for participating in the Fight in the Clouds has been raised this time, and one must be a martial arts master?" Song Changming just felt that this should be the case.

Otherwise, the kings would not be so tacit and only bring the masters to participate in the fight in the clouds.

Just as he was thinking about it, King Rui opposite him suddenly looked at him and met his eyes.

King Rui obviously still remembered him. He smiled slightly and raised his glass to him from a distance.

Seeing this, Song Changming raised the wine glass in front of him with both hands and responded.

No matter what, the other party is the king appointed by Emperor Yun, so the proper courtesy should still be shown.

"Your Majesty, is that the number one genius whose physique is not inferior to Situ Ming's?" The entourage behind King Rui also noticed the interaction between his king and Song Changming, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, this person has now entered the Grandmaster Realm, and his strength is much stronger than before. If you want to compete for a place in the Tianxu Realm, he may become a big obstacle for you."

King Rui drank the wine in the glass, put it down and said.

"Even if he becomes a master, he is only at the initial stage of cultivation. Your Majesty is worrying too much." Gao Zigu said calmly.

"Maybe." King Rui looked at him and said nothing.

The entourage he brought this time are also top-notch in terms of strength and martial arts talent, and their counterparts are evil figures like Hua Qing Chi, Situ Ming, and Bai Qing.

Therefore, even if he felt that Song Changming was truly extremely talented, it was still too early for him to defeat the man under his command.

It’s a pity that he once tried to win over Song Changming.

But King Cui had already appointed Song Changming as the Grand Marshal of the Army, second only to the king and above everyone else, which was already a very good treatment for Song Changming.

This also made it extremely difficult for him to persuade Song Changming to rebel, and there has been no result so far.

Drinking spiritual wine, listening to the music, and being surrounded by spiritual charm, Song Changming felt as if he was floating in the air, as if he had really arrived at the fairy palace in heaven. He was enjoying it very much.

No wonder Emperor Yun is willing to stay in this Cloud Palace year after year.

"Brother Song, I heard that you have entered the Grandmaster realm. I wonder how much stronger you are than before."

Suddenly a voice came into his ears. Song Changming looked in the direction of the voice and saw Situ Ming smiling at him.

It was obvious that the person who just transmitted the message was the other party.

Just as he remembered the other person, his performance that year actually left a deep impression on Situ Ming.

It wasn't just Situ Ming. Many people present paid more or less attention to Song Changming's arrival.

It was just that Situ Ming was the first to send him a message. "Brother Situ, why don't we have another competition this year?" Song Changming replied.

"That's exactly what I meant." Situ Ming said with a smile.

More than twenty years is nothing to a warrior, especially to a master.

In recent years, the only one who can compete with him in physical combat is Song Changming!

Therefore, he was quite happy to see Song Changming again this time, and hoped to have another fight with him.

Hua Qingchi on the side also set his eyes on Song Changming, but after a brief pause, he moved his eyes away and looked at Bai Qing, who had defeated him last time.

Bai Qing was drinking by himself, not paying much attention to his surroundings.

This is somewhat similar to Song Changming. Since Emperor Yun has not arrived yet, he just eats and drinks as much as he wants and enjoys himself.

After the spiritual food went down the stomach, it was quickly refined by the witchcraft and transformed into streams of pure spiritual power that flowed through the body, making one feel comfortable.

"Please bring some more." Song Changming drank the wine and smiled warmly at the maid beside him.

"Yes, sir." The maid's cheeks flushed, and she didn't know whether she was shy because of Song Changming's stare at her, or she was simply curious about Song Changming's extravagant eating and drinking.

After all, it is rare to be able to be so relaxed among so many big shots.

Just at this moment, King Cui suddenly turned around and spoke to him seriously.

"Changming, news came from Huzhong that the monsters in the Nine Netherworlds are moving strangely, and it seems that the entrance to the Tianxu Realm is about to open!"

Song Changming's heart moved. He had made his own speculation last night. Now hearing what King Cui said, it seemed to confirm his speculation.

Cuibai Road is located in the southernmost part of Yunzhou, closest to the Nine Netherworld, so it is normal that King Cui was the first to receive the news about the Nine Netherworld.

"What should we do?" Song Changming asked.

"Your Majesty, if the entrance to Tianxu Realm is really about to open, this matter is of great importance and there is nothing we can do." King Cui said slowly.

He knew very well that the demons in the Nine Netherworld were not good people. Even as strong as he was, he could not prevent the entrance to the Tianxu Realm from opening, let alone stop the demons from breaking in.

Simply put, he can deal with a small Xuwei demon clan, but he cannot deal with all the demon clans in the Nine Netherworlds.

“Perhaps Your Majesty has already anticipated this matter and there is no need for me to tell you.” Prince Cui added at the end.

When the time was about to come, Emperor Yun walked in accompanied by the shouts of his close ministers. Everyone bowed and welcomed him respectfully until he ascended the throne.

"The reason why the Emperor's Banquet was held earlier this time is because the unusual movements in Tianxu Realm have intensified. I'm afraid it will start soon." As soon as Emperor Yun opened his mouth, he explained to everyone the reason why the Emperor's Banquet was held earlier than planned.

After hearing this, Prince Cui and Song Changming were not too surprised.

But the other kings who came from afar were a little surprised.

Like the Emperor's Banquet, there are rarely any unusual movements in the Tianxu Realm.

But since a new entrance appeared in the Nine Netherworld, the Tianxu Realm seems to have become somewhat unstable.

"Your Majesty, the demon race has intruded into Tianxu Realm, posing a great threat. I think we should add more places to allow more powerful human beings to enter to fight against the demon race." After hearing this, a minister stood up and made a suggestion.

"Yeah." Emperor Yun glanced at the ministers beside him.

The minister understood and took two steps forward, saying, "Your Majesty has granted permission for an additional five places to enter the Heavenly Ruins Realm for this Cloud Competition. In addition, there are an additional thirty places, which will be nominated by the kings and ministers after the banquet."

"Your Majesty is wise!" The minister sat back immediately.

Everyone also understood that Emperor Yun had obviously had this plan in place for a long time, and this time he was going to send in more powerful men to prevent the demon clan from occupying the Tianxu Realm.

"Five extra places, plus the original fixed place, that means six people can grab this opportunity in this fight in the clouds." Song Changming said to himself.

This number is not small.

This also rekindled some hope in the hearts of many people who were originally prepared to give up the fight.

"You might as well give it a try this time." King Xia said to Hong Zhen behind him.

Although Hong Zhen's cultivation level is not very competitive among the masters, he is still a master after all. If he is lucky, he might be able to get a spot.

Hong Zhen nodded. Last time, his cultivation strength was only at the Innate Perfection Realm, so he didn't have any ideas. This time, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, he really wanted to give it a try.

From morning to afternoon, and from afternoon to dusk.

This imperial banquet was carried out step by step according to the rules, and was similar to the one Song Changming had held before.

King Cui was commended for the rapid development of his territory, which further enhanced his status among the kings.

According to King Cui, all of this is the result of years of hard work.

After going through the rules and finishing the meeting, it was time for the fight in the clouds.

What is different from previous fights in the clouds is that there is no two-on-one fighting or attack and defense in the ring.

Emperor Yun raised his hand on the throne, and six magatama representing the admission tickets to Tianxu Realm turned into six streams of light and sank into the sea of ​​clouds outside the palace.

This is a direct competition for a place in the Tianxu Realm!
"Anyone who wants to go may go. When the sun sets and the last rays of light fade away, those who possess six magatama can enter Tianxu."

Emperor Yun spoke, and the entourage behind the kings looked at each other. Some of them moved quickly, took a step and flew out of the palace door, exploring the sea of ​​clouds to look for the hidden magatama.

Then, the rest of the entourage were startled and flew out one after another, fearing that they would be too late and have someone preemptively seize the opportunity and snatch away their admission tickets to Tianxu Realm.

"Changming." King Cui looked behind him and saw Song Changming who was still asking the maid for wine.

"Don't be anxious, my king. The sun will set soon, but it's still early." Song Changming was not panicked at all and drank the wine in the cup.

This spiritual wine specially provided for the emperor cannot be drunk outside the Yunzhong Palace.

Song Changming didn't want to waste this opportunity to drink as much wine as he wanted. In his opinion, this wine was better than many rare treasures.

Emperor Yun on the throne suddenly looked over at this time, his eyes fell on Song Changming, who was reeking of alcohol, and couldn't help but speak.

"If you can get a magatama, I will give you a thousand pounds of this spiritual wine."

When the emperor spoke, everyone in the hall was stunned, and then they all turned their eyes to Song Changming.

For the kings and ministers of the imperial city, a thousand kilograms of spiritual wine is naturally nothing.

But Emperor Yun’s sudden attention is very intriguing, and it makes people think more.

What's so special about Song Changming?

Naturally there is.

Song Changming suddenly appeared in the last fight in the clouds and amazed everyone.

However, they had seen quite a few young and outstanding martial arts geniuses in the imperial capital, and they had never seen Emperor Yun show special care to anyone.

Just one sentence from Emperor Yun made Song Changming a special existence among the younger generation.

Even Huaqing Chi, Situ Ming and Bai Qing, who had not yet left, could not help but look at Song Changming again and again.

Song Changming did not think so much about it. He just thought that Emperor Yun had overheard his conversation with King Cui and it was just a casual remark.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Changming also knew that it was impossible to continue to slack off, so he stood up, saluted, and walked out of the hall calmly.
