Chapter 320 Resonance Across the World, Breakthrough

After absorbing a large amount of fortune in the Medicine King Temple and taking control of the temple, Yu Que found himself in a wondrous state.

This state was just like when he was on Mount Huangshan, blessed by the heavens, with all sorts of inspirations bursting forth and his thoughts roaming freely.

However, it is a hundred times more than before!

For a moment, Yu Que closed his eyes slightly. He felt as if his spirit was flowing across the entire Central Continent, where the Five Elements created and followed his heart's desires.

Furthermore, the protective objects within the Five Ancestral Temples were also vibrating loudly, resonating with him.

For a moment, Yu Que could even vaguely sense that all the immortals in the world who had cultivated the Five Ancestral Veins had noticed the various desires of the immortals in the world for longevity, for freedom, and for liberation from the suffering of the human world.

"Could this state be considered 'enlightenment'?" This thought suddenly popped into his mind.

However, because this feeling was so strange, he thought he was just in a daze, a kind of mental obsession that arose in his mind before his cultivation was about to break through.

Therefore, Yu Que simply focused on comprehending the wonderful ideas and inspirations that had arisen in his own mind, and did not pay any more attention to the immortals in the world.

What he didn't know was that his feeling of resonating with all the immortals in the world was not fake.

at the same time.

Within the territory of the Central Land, all the immortals of the Five Ancestral Temples sensed a colossal being, seemingly standing high in the sky, calmly looking down upon them.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

Countless immortals were startled. Some thought they had been distracted, while others thought their cultivation had gone wrong, and they quickly calmed themselves down.

However, quite a few people noticed this clue and looked up at the sky in shock.

Especially those immortals with profound cultivation who have reached the half-step primordial spirit realm.

They emerged from the pass with drastically changed expressions, looking up at the sky.

"Is this a change in the ancestral temple's fortune?"

"Damn it, what on earth is the imperial court doing? How come even the ancestral vein's fortune is fluctuating? This is the very foundation of my Central Plains Immortal Clan!"

Even the coastal Daoist palaces that were fighting against overseas cultivators were distracted by the thought of what this change was foreshadowing.

whoosh!
After a brief discussion, almost every Taoist temple set aside personnel and dispatched an old immortal at the half-step Nascent Soul stage to the Five Ancestral Temples to investigate the cause of the incident.

For example, in the palace on Huangshan Mountain.

The Palace Master of Huangshan Palace, the Peak Master of Tiandu Peak, and the Abbot of Guangming Peak—the three of them merely touched each other with their divine senses, and immediately decided to go to the capital to investigate:
"The Palace Master of Justice is currently in the capital; this matter cannot be ignored."

Among them, the Peak Master of Tiandu Peak volunteered: "I'll set off right now!"

He nodded to the Palace Master of Huangshan and the person on Bright Peak from afar, then his body transformed into a golden light and swiftly flew towards the capital.

He had no intention of using a cloud boat or similar means of transportation, but rather planned to rely on his own magical power to use a teleportation technique to escape. This would save the most time and give him the best chance of finding Yu Que and the others before the situation changed drastically.

The same applies to local temples.

They not only immediately dispatched personnel, but also swiftly sent out memorials, letters, and other items through the incense and dragon energy channels, questioning and inquiring about the incense offerings of the past.

Within an hour, the main hall of the Ministry of Rites, where incense was offered daily, was almost overflowing with these memorials and petitions.

This situation naturally alarmed the emperor and the imperial advisor, who had been serving the emperor for a long time.

Both of them were also alarmed by the strange changes at the Five Ancestral Temples.

The emperor, who was in charge of incense offerings, even asked, "In the opinion of the Imperial Preceptor, should this year's talent selection be postponed until the anomalies at the ancestral temple are fully investigated before making a decision?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor frowned and slowly spoke:
"No rush, no rush. Your Majesty. Several days ago, starting from the Yama Temple, there have been many immortals who entered the temple ahead of time, only to be swept out of the ancestral temple."

I just inquired again, and so far, almost all the immortals have been expelled from the Five Ancestral Temples. Only one person remains inside the temple and has not yet left.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor, who was in charge of offering incense, immediately asked, "May I ask, Imperial Preceptor, who is that person?"

The Imperial Advisor slowly said, "It is the Master of the Huangshan Judicial Palace who cultivates in the Yama Temple."

He added:
“This young man has been making a big splash lately, and his methods are strange. I’m afraid the strange changes in the ancestral temple are related to him.”

However, the Emperor of Incense Offerings showed a worried expression upon hearing this.

The man said in a low voice, "But what if it's not like that, but rather that our arrangements caused a backlash from the ancestral temple's fortune, or that our arrangements were discovered by the Palace Master of Justice, leading to this unexpected turn of events? What should we do then?"

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Preceptor did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said decisively:

"Impossible! It can't be like that. It can only be an anomaly caused by the Palace Master of Justice in the ancestral temple."

He paused, then said, "That's the only way."

Immediately, the Imperial Preceptor bowed to the Emperor and asked, "Does Your Majesty now know whether the grand selection of talents for this year's imperial examination should be postponed?"

The Emperor, understanding the situation, immediately went to his desk and quickly wrote down things such as "the grand ceremony will continue as usual, the list of offerings will be announced tomorrow" and "the immortals have entered the temple ahead of schedule, only the Master of the Huangshan Judicial Palace has not yet appeared." He then sent these to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, ordering the officials in the court to handle the matter.

quickly.

The pile of inquiries from various provincial palaces in the Ministry of Rites was quickly cleared up by court officials who worked overtime.

These officials in the capital, regardless of their other skills, were naturally adept at making excuses after receiving hints from the reigning emperor. Each of them was a master of rhetoric, and they all implied that the strange events at the ancestral temple were related to Yu Que.

In an instant, the four characters "Huangshan Yuque" appeared once again on the desks of all the immortal Taoist palaces, and even on the desks of overseas cultivators.

On the True Immortal Island, two True Immortals, one in black and one in white, saw the words "Yu Que" appear in their field of vision. In particular, they were impressed by Yu Que's past experiences, including his voyages to the sea, his possession of a Primordial Spirit Dao Weapon, and his creation of an Inner World—all signs of a Celestial Immortal seed.

Even with the composure of two True Immortals, their expressions changed drastically.

As a result, many elite disciples from various sects who had already entered the country, especially those who had been sent to the Central Plains to gather intelligence, received orders to go to the capital of the Central Plains as far as possible to investigate the talent recruitment campaign, especially the "remaining vacancies"!

Time continues to pass.

While Yu Que was immersed in the vast blessings of incense and fortune, contemplating the mysteries of the Dao, the great talent-gathering of the immortals in the Central Plains continued as usual.

That very night, all the rankings were finalized by the incense burner working overtime.

The following day, thousands of immortals gathered in one place, waiting for the list to be announced. Then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, they paid homage to the Five Ancestral Temples and entered to further their cultivation.

"Now that you have diligently cultivated yourself and worked hard, you are hereby declared a national talent and are specially permitted to enter the temple for cultivation!"

A series of high-pitched voices proclaimed each name, bringing great joy to the Ning Sha Immortals waiting outside the altar. It took a full hour, with incense burning continuously, to announce the list of 108 national talents who could enter the temple for cultivation.

Immediately, amidst the envious gazes of the other immortals, these 108 Ning Sha Immortals ascended the steps and walked onto the altar for the sacrificial ceremony.

At this moment, two streaks of light appeared, and the current emperor and the imperial advisor appeared on the Altar of Heaven.

As early as yesterday, the Ministry of Rites had already taught everyone the rituals for offering sacrifices to Heaven and requesting permission to enter the temple. Under the supervision of the ritual officials, all the immortals present performed the sacrifices to Heaven in an orderly manner according to the rituals.

Even those immortals who were not selected were very cooperative, and no one dared to act recklessly or leave in a huff.

Even if they are not selected, although they cannot enter the ancestral temple, they can still observe the manifestation of the ancestral temple during the sacrificial ceremony and receive a share of the incense's emanation.

Although such fortune is not abundant, it is still a rare benefit for the Condensing Evil Immortals.

In particular, every few years, there are always old immortals who, although they have never set foot in the ancestral temple in their entire lives, rely on the incense offerings they receive to accumulate little by little until they finally break through the barriers and become immortals who refine qi!
"We, the immortals, by the mandate of Heaven, respectfully invite the Five Temples!"

A chorus of cheers rose from the Temple of Heaven.

All the immortals present bowed and kowtowed to the heavens in unison: "You have manifested and descended to guide our cultivation, and have rendered meritorious service to the nation!"

Buzz!
As these people shouted in unison, a powerful aura of incense offerings emanated from their bodies. Guided by the incense offering emperor and the national teacher, it soared into the sky, instantly forming a golden cloud of fortune above the capital.

This scene attracted the attention of many people both inside and outside the capital.

Especially those overseas cultivators and spies who rushed over, they stared greedily at the auspicious energy of the sacrificial ceremony: "Is this where the auspicious energy of the Central Plains ghost families resides?"

"If we can divide it up, perhaps we can also attain the primordial spirit and not be subjugated by those twelve old guys!"

At the same time, it is located right below the Temple of Heaven.

Marquis Tiance, who had been silently cultivating within the dragon vein of the capital, slowly opened his eyes and squinted, thinking to himself, "Has the sacrificial ceremony begun? Next, it will be what I agreed upon with those two old guys."

He looked around at the dragon energy, his eyes showing neither tension nor excitement, but rather a mocking expression.

Whoohoo!
Suddenly, Marquis Tiance exhaled a large breath of dragon energy.

The dragon energy entered his body and quickly transformed into pure spiritual energy, weaving fine dragon scales on his body surface. Even dragon horns grew on his forehead.

In an instant, this person transformed from a pure human form into the appearance of a dragon!

"What are these Five Temples anyway? Do they even deserve my worship?"

Marquis Tiance uttered a low growl, his voice like muffled thunder: "You dare not use the immense dragon energy you possess, yet you only dare to covet the fortune left by your predecessors. You are truly pathetic."

But that's fine too, let you all cover for me and act as my vanguard!

As he spoke, his aura grew stronger, and a faint purple hue appeared on his body.

These signs indicate that he can take the final half-step and break through to become a Primordial Spirit Immortal at any time if he so desires.

However, Tian Ce Hou was still frantically absorbing the dragon energy from the dragon vein and did not immediately form a primordial spirit.

What he wanted was not just to break through to become a Nascent Soul Immortal, but to devour the dragon vein of the entire Incense Dynasty, to control the rise and fall of the country, and to entrust his own energy to the entire Incense Dynasty.

In this way, he can not only instantly become a true immortal, but also live and die with the country, and his life will not end as long as the country exists!
These benefits are even more miraculous than the elixir of immortality!

Thinking of all this, Marquis Tiance's face finally showed anticipation and excitement:
"Having the destiny of a dynasty and possessing such a divine artifact, how dare they still covet the ancestral temple's fortune or the elixir of immortality?"

"I was truly ignorant back then."

Boom!

outside world.

The aura above the Temple of Heaven soared into the sky, and the figures of the Five Ancestral Temples slowly emerged from it.

And golden light flowed, forming steps that descended one after another from the Five Ancestral Temples.

The immortals on the Temple of Heaven were overjoyed to see the heavenly ladder descending from the sky. Once they stepped onto this ladder and entered the ancestral temple, they would have hope of refining their inner energy and achieving immortality in this lifetime!
And such a commotion.

Naturally, this also awakened Yu Que, who was comprehending the Dao in the ancestral temple.

Yu Que swept his divine sense around and understood: "So the talent selection is coming to an end, and the candidates are gathered together to offer sacrifices to the heavens."

When he was awakened, he was not angry at all; instead, he felt a sense of relief and joy.

Now that he holds the power of the Five Temples, the many examinees are like his juniors in his eyes.

Furthermore, the offerings made by the other candidates to Heaven contributed a great deal of incense offerings and good fortune to Yu Que. This good fortune was extremely vibrant, and the implications it contained cleared his mind.

"Since we are juniors, it's better to share the joy than to enjoy it alone."

Yu Que suddenly spoke up: "Why do you all need to ascend to heaven? Come with me and enjoy the blessings of this ancestral temple!"

Rumble!
His voice, like thunder, rolled down from the sky, its power and influence awe-inspiring.

Those heavenly ladders that had sprung up under the orders of the Emperor of Incense Offering and the Imperial Preceptor were affected by Yu Que's voice and sight, and shattered on the spot.

This situation alarmed the candidates present, but soon, whether they passed or failed, the immortals all showed expressions of ecstasy.

Because wisps of incense smoke descended from the sky, like ten thousand golden threads, and landed on the massive Altar of Heaven.

Moreover, this fortune did not show any favoritism based on the rankings of the people. Even the old immortals who had no reference, or even some servants and eunuchs, were all enveloped by the fortune.

"That sound... there's someone still inside the ancestral temple?!"

"Is it the elusive Immortal Yuque who has yet to appear?!"

Everyone was both surprised and delighted.

Only the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor changed color, staring at the sky with disbelief and cold eyes.

And this time.

After Yu Que distributed his fortune, he paid no further attention to these people.

His body had already detached from any of the ancestral temples, and he sat cross-legged in the center of the five ancestral temples, his body radiating rich golden light and purple light.

Its physical body, spirit, and inner world are all growing rapidly and unstoppably, like seeds sprouting.

Become an immortal on the spot, right now!
