Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The decree of Emperor Xuanwu, through imperial power, was inscribed upon the human realm.

Heaven and earth must acknowledge this.

[The Celestial Envoy.]

[This is yet another position that has never appeared in the entire history of the Great Cang Dynasty.]

This situation is not an isolated case.

Throughout history, emperors, in a fit of whim, would casually create official ranks to promote their officials.

[They are usually not used again after that.]

The power of official rank is not determined by grade, but by luck.

[Your influence over the vast azure energy, acting as the Celestial Envoy, contrasts sharply with the rising fortune of the black-label entry for "Azure."]

The Celestial Envoy is almost as formidable as the black-label entry "Azure".

Therefore, these four words are not empty words.

Rather, they truly possess the power to survey the heavens.

[Comparable to kings and generals.]

[A few months ago, Chen Chao, the governor of Yangzhou, met with you.]

All must greet them with utmost respect.

You feel the immense fortune flowing through your body.

[He raised his eyes to gaze upon the unattainable throne.]

Emperor Xuanwu's move was both unexpected and perfectly logical.

[It's unexpected because you didn't anticipate he would do this.]

[As expected, you were convinced that this trip to the palace would inevitably lead to something that would perplex you again.]

To understand a person and their purpose.

Don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does.

Emperor Xuanwu constantly spoke of the plight of the common people, his compassion for the masses, and the humility of a benevolent ruler.

What exactly did they do?

[Empress Wei Zhi, who was destined to be a femme fatale.]

[I hereby bestow upon you the title of Great Sage and Teacher, and appoint you as the Celestial Patrol Envoy, for you, a person burdened with a rebellious destiny and a chaotic fate.]

[Let powerful families exploit and drain their resources.]

At this moment, war has broken out in Nancang, flames of war are raging, people are displaced, and corpses of the starving are everywhere.

[While he may have lost power in the court, this cannot shake the legitimacy of a noble family that has existed for millennia.]

What about you and Wei Zhi?

A beautiful woman can be a source of trouble, defying fate.

[The destiny number most hostile to imperial power.]

However, Emperor Xuanwu kept them all by his side.

[This is my investiture of you at this very moment.]

[Just like the delegation of power to Wei Zhi at that time.]

He deliberately delegated high-ranking positions to those who could threaten imperial power.

It's like...being in opposition to imperial power.

[Emperor, imperial power.]

They are inherently complementary, and together they govern the world.

How could an emperor possibly betray his imperial authority?

That would be tantamount to complaining that one's throne is too secure.

Therefore.

You cast aside all words, embellishments, and pretenses.

[Based on behavior as the primary driver and results as the secondary driver.]

[A result has been obtained.]

At this moment, Emperor Xuanwu was not aligned with imperial authority.

[Perhaps it could be said that Emperor Xuanwu attempted to overthrow the long-standing rule of the tripartite division of imperial power.]

So he kept Wei Zhi by his side.

He became so humble and respectful after you appeared.

That provides a relatively reasonable explanation.

[In the blink of an eye, your thoughts took on the role of the Celestial Guardian.]

The entire capital's elite were shocked, gazing towards the imperial palace.

This is the decree.

[As imperial power was proclaimed throughout the land.]

You bow respectfully.

"Your subject obeys the decree."

[The elegant, classical music begins.]

At the same time, the black-label term "inferior overthrowing superiors" became completely and deeply intertwined with the Great Cang Dynasty.

[The Holy Ancestor of Yangzhou, the Celestial Master's Mansion of Jingzhou.]

Today, Qitong is filled with extraordinary phenomena, fleeting glimpses of light, and extremely auspicious signs.

It seemed as if heaven and earth were favoring the Holy Sect and the Celestial Master's Mansion.

[Celestial Master's Mansion, Ancestral Hall.]

The old Taoist priest offered incense as usual.

Inside the bronze cauldron, only three incense sticks burned, emitting billowing black smoke that never seemed to go out.

Because not a single one of our ancestors dared to take a single breath of it.

[This includes Zhang Xun's ancestor, who loved trying new things.]

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the old Taoist's weathered face.

[His pupils were filled with azure lightning, and arcs of electricity rippled from the corners of his eyes.]

[Divination by hand gestures.]

[Immediately noticed that since you joined the Celestial Master's Mansion, the gloomy sky has brightened...]

[On the long table, ancestral tablets were arranged around the one where the murderer was being studied.]

They all jumped in unison, looking towards the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest could not hide his joy, feeling that he had finally swept away the bad luck of the Celestial Master's Mansion and restored a bright and clear world.

But the next moment, he realized something.

[His brows were furrowed, and the intense lightning in his eyes cast a powerful shadow of divine punishment upon the entire ancestral hall.]

Even the ancestral tablets couldn't help but give way.

[He pulled the master, who had been killed, to his side.]

[Avoid being accidentally harmed by an emotionally unstable seasoned Taoist priest.]

【"Yu Jing..."】

The old Taoist priest, with his aged and solemn face, possessed a dignified demeanor that inspired awe.

[He was completely unlike his usual slovenly and unreliable self.]

His tone was deep and resonant, like rolling thunder.

The worry within was hard to conceal.

The old Taoist priest gazed towards the capital; he knew of your whereabouts.

After you arrived in the capital, you remained quiet for several months.

He still thought you had become obedient.

Now they're acting recklessly again.

The old Taoist priest knows that the Celestial Master's Mansion is shrouded in darkness because of the influence of your defying destiny.

[You previously joined the Holy Sect.]

The old Taoist priest once bluntly stated that he wanted to clean house.

It was Zhang Xunzhi, the patriarch, who intervened.

After all, half of the burden of defying fate has already been taken away.

[Furthermore, this led to a deep ties with the Wei family, and the bestowal of the title "Grand Master of Virtue" further solidified the relationship with the Great Cang Dynasty.]

The fate of the Celestial Master's Mansion in defying the heavens has been diluted once again.

But at this moment.

The Celestial Master's Mansion was filled with extraordinary phenomena, auspicious omens filled the sky, and radiant light shone upon it.

[After divination, the old Taoist priest discovered that the situation of the Demonic Sect was similar.]

This means that, through your relationship, the Celestial Master's Mansion and the Demonic Sect have been burdened with a rebellious destiny.

[It has completely disappeared...]

This indicates two results.

Either you die.

Either you're about to die.

Therefore, the old Taoist priest became agitated, and even Lei Quan's golden talisman began to materialize faintly.

【Boom! 】

[Fearing that the old Taoist priest might lose his temper and storm into the capital, Zhang Xunzhi's ancestor.]

[It leaped out from behind its master, crashing into the wooden table with a resounding thud.]

[A profound and soothing effect permeates the mind.]

[They managed to calm the old man down.]

The old Taoist priest had a solemn, aged face, and his eyes blazed with lightning.

[A towering figure strode out, pushed open the palace doors, and gazed northward.]

[A deep, resonant tone, accompanied by the rumbling vibrations of thunder, the emphasized syllables shaking the very soul.]

"The jade guardian spirit undergoes tribulation, the jade void golden body is cast into an image, the jade holder also..."

The old Taoist's pupils flickered with electricity, indicating the turmoil in his emotions.

[With his back to the long table where the ancestral tablets were placed.]

[The tone and words were resolute.]

"Yu Jing is my disciple who has locked the gates; I will never let anything happen to him again."

His eyes, filled with lightning, gazed at the sky.

"No one can stop me!"

【"if……"】

The old Taoist's thunderous voice paused for a moment.

[His sidelong glance back, his resolute tone, revealed a sense of remorse.]

"That's all Bingcheng's fault; he has failed the ancestors of the Celestial Master's Mansion."

[Inside the ancestral hall.]

[A long memorial tablet.]

Silently gazing at that towering figure.
