The Great Tang Dynasty: Heavenly Official Bestows Blessings, Starting with a Little Rhinoceros Offer

Chapter 68: Intelligence about the Tang Dynasty World, a bizarre and fantastical world of immortals and heroes?

Jiang Lin's discerning eyes were sharp; with a mere glance, he instantly discerned the state of the two people before him.

The fluctuations of magical power emanating from them, and the chaotic aura caused by excessive tension.

In his eyes, nothing can be hidden.

"Um.

""

However, when Jiang Lin closed his magic eye and looked ahead again, he found that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were there.

At this moment, he was looking down, his body tense, like a panicked ostrich.

Let alone looking Jiang Lin in the eye, the two of them wished they could bury their heads in the ground and not dare to look up at him at all.

They looked incredibly cautious.

Jiang Lin simply smiled indifferently at this.

He spoke in a gentle tone, with a hint of teasing.

"What's wrong?"

"You two... are you a little afraid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng trembled, shook their heads repeatedly, and defended themselves in trembling voices.

"No...no, no!"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood!"

"We are filled with such reverence and excitement!"

"That's why...that's why I don't know how to approach you."

"Absolutely no offense intended!"

That's true.

But seeing their bodies trembling slightly despite their best efforts to restrain themselves, their fear was still betrayed.

Jiang Lin smiled helplessly and waved his hand casually.

"Alright, alright."

"You two relax."

Immediately, Jiang Lin had a thought.

It released a trace of water-phase power.

"Buzz"

A soft, pale blue aura instantly filled the air.

That gentle and inclusive aura, like a spring breeze and nourishing rain, seeped into the bodies of these two.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng felt a warm current flow through their bodies, which calmed their inner turmoil and fear.

"call..."

The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised their heads.

Although they remained respectful, at least they dared to look over.

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands in a somewhat bitter manner and said...

"I'm sorry for making a fool of myself, Your Majesty."

"The old Taoist priest and Dao Zhi, though they usually boasted of their accomplished cultivation."

"But today I have the honor of seeing the Divine Lord..."

"Only then did I realize that my cultivation was far from sufficient and my state of mind was unstable."

"It made the God of War laugh at us."

Li Chunfeng nodded as well, looking ashamed.

"yes."

"We have been very disrespectful; please forgive us, Your Majesty."

Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head at this.

"You two need not be so reserved, nor should you belittle yourselves."

"As fellow practitioners, I've only gone a little further than you."

97

"We are all seekers of the Way, and we are simply fellow seekers of the same path."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang waved his hands repeatedly, looking terrified.

"Your Majesty, you are making us feel ashamed!"

"How dare we, the light of fireflies, compete with the brilliance of the divine moon?"

"The vastness of the divine ruler, and his unfathomable magical power..."

"I felt it just now."

"That's a world of difference!"

Li Chunfeng responded with a bitter smile.

"yes."

"In the past... I would be proud of my own insignificant Dao."

"But now that I have met the Divine Lord, I realize that I am nothing more than a frog in a well, a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

"I am extremely ashamed."

Jiang Lin's lips twitched slightly as he heard the two celebrities' effusive praise.

This feeling is rather awkward.

Although this Tang Dynasty era is a world full of spiritual energy.

It is quite different from the Tang Dynasty world recorded in history.

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were indeed genuine cultivators.

but!

Compared to the two people opposite, who cultivated their skills step by step over time, this was a far cry from their previous achievements.

Jiang Lin's current Immortal Realm was achieved in one fell swoop.

It wasn't as amazing as they claimed, nor did it offer any profound insights.

He felt that if he continued to listen to the two of them praising him like this, he would feel extremely awkward.

"Cough cough..."

Then, Jiang Lin shook his head.

He interrupted their flattery and changed the subject, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I am quite interested in the cultivation world here."

"Tell me about the situation in the cultivation world here."

Upon hearing the Divine Lord's question, Yuan Tiangang dared not be negligent and began to explain in detail.

"Report back to the God."

"Indeed, there are many cultivation sects and traditions in this world, and even some unorthodox and heretical paths."

"but..."

"Many truly great sects of cultivation live in secluded, remote mountains or on overseas islands."

"They rarely appear in ordinary, everyday life."

Jiang Lin seemed to be thinking about this when he said it.

"Perhaps it's because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is more abundant in such sparsely populated places?"

Li Chunfeng nodded and continued.

"May the divine ruler bear witness!"

"It's precisely because of the spiritual energy."

Famous mountains and great rivers often gather the essence of heaven and earth.

"Cultivation sects are often established in such blessed and secluded places."

"Moreover, true practitioners mostly emphasize following the way of nature and practicing tranquility and non-action."

"They rarely interfere with the operation of human dynasties."

"This goes against the state of mind for cultivation and makes it easy to become tainted by worldly desires."

At this point, he glanced at Yuan Tiangang beside him and then pointed to himself.

"As for myself and Brother Yuan... our studies are in divination and astrology."

"To deduce the fate of the nation and observe the secrets of heaven."

"One must engage in worldly cultivation and use the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty to hone oneself."

"That's why I've entered the court as an official and am serving His Majesty now."

"He's considered an outlier in the cultivation world."

Yuan Tiangang nodded in agreement, then added.

"also..."

"Besides us humans who cultivate, there are other races in this world that can absorb spiritual energy."

"Some are inanimate objects such as rocks and plants that, by chance, received the blessing of heaven and earth."

"Ultimately, they awaken their intelligence and take human form."

"Some were animals that were naturally spiritual, but after developing their intelligence and cultivating themselves, they eventually transformed into monsters."

"The first type of plant spirit is mostly found in deep mountains and forests, and it is very difficult to encounter them."

"But the latter, those monsters transformed from beasts..."

"Because in addition to absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation, their ferocious nature as beasts is still retained."

"Therefore, they often appear around human society and interact with people."

"Some, in their eagerness for quick success, have even resorted to unorthodox and heretical methods, causing chaos among the people."

"This is also the responsibility of us who established the Imperial Observatory, to be responsible for slaying demons and eliminating evil."

After listening, Jiang Lin nodded, a look of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Indeed, this world, brimming with spiritual energy, is completely different from what was recorded in the history books of my previous life.

There are sects of cultivators, monsters, and all sorts of evil spirits and heretics...

This sounds like a fantastical world of immortals and heroes!

However, Jiang Lin then thought of something else.

"Since there are demons and monsters, there are also cultivators."

"What about the gods and immortals?"

Do gods and immortals exist in this world?

"For example, does Heaven and Hell exist?"
