When they reached the front hall, the emperor of East Tsui, Yu Cang, was already waiting inside. Seeing the three of them enter, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully in Yi Qing's direction. "Yu Cang greets the Celestial Emperor." His posture was unbelievably humble, completely different from his previous indignant self.
The three of them ignored him and walked straight up. Shen Ying sat on the main seat and slumped lazily on the chair, one hand on the armrest. Yi Qing stood at the side, habitually taking out a few plates of pastries and placing them on the small table beside him.
Lonemoon, on the other hand, turned around and sat down on the chair closest to him. He smiled at Yu Cang, who looked a little uneasy. "Young Emperor Yu, what brings you to my Invincible Heavenly Palace? Could it be that I sent the wrong message and you're actually here to look for Emperor Lan Hua?" Lonemoon deliberately reminded Yu Cang kindly. "Why don't I call him over now?"
"No, no, no!" Yu Cang broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly denied. "Young Emperor, you misunderstand. I … I am indeed here to see Celestial Emperor Yi Qing."
"That's strange?" Lonemoon laughed coldly. "If I remember correctly, didn't Young Emperor Yu say in front of all the country emperors and Fellow Immortals that he only knew of Celestial Emperor Lan Hua and did not know of Celestial Emperor Yi Qing?"
"Yes … I misspoke. Please forgive me, Celestial Emperor." Yu Cang's legs turned to jelly and he fell to his knees. "No matter how Celestial Emperor deals with me, I am willing to accept my punishment."
Lonemoon paused. Logically speaking, he should be a very arrogant person if he could take the lead to cause trouble. Lonemoon did not expect him to cower so quickly. He even knelt down to admit his guilt without a second word. Lonemoon suddenly felt that the matter he was here for today must not be that simple.
"But this matter is my own doing. It has nothing to do with East Tsui or the people of Bo Sea." He looked up at Yi Qing, who was seriously handing food to Shen Ying. Yi Qing did not even look at him. Yu Cang stiffened and turned to Lonemoon. "The matter I am here for today is very important. It concerns the entire immortal realm. Only Celestial Emperor Yi Qing can help."
"Oh?" Lonemoon was a little curious now. "What exactly is it that Chef … Yi Qing can't solve?"
Yu Cang's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Emperor, my East Tsui Country is located on an island east of the Bo Sea. There were many immortals, but in recent years, no new immortals had ascended. At first, we didn't know the reason either. We thought it was because the cultivators of the lower realms didn't have the opportunity. "
He raised his head and glanced at the few of them. His eyes darkened before he continued. "But a while ago, the City Lord of East Tsui's number one city, Chang Qing, sent a letter saying that one of his nephews in the Lower Realm originally had extremely high potential to cultivate to immortality. Moreover, he had long divined his fate, and he would definitely ascend to immortality. However, for some reason, it suddenly fell during the tribulation and was unable to ascend. Only then did we notice something strange. "
Lonemoon frowned and glanced at him. "Cultivation is an act that goes against the heavens. Any small change, even a single thought, could trigger a mental demon and affect your ascension. There's no such thing as being destined to ascend. " Of course, Shen Ying was an exception. "Moreover, countless people have fallen during the tribulation of ascension. What's so strange about that? Even if no one ascended for a few years, it's very … "normal.
"No, there must be something wrong with the Lower Realm." Before he could finish, Yu Cang blurted out anxiously, "East Tsui has never had no immortals ascend for a few years! And I heard … "He glanced at Yi Qing in front of him and gritted his teeth." I heard that not long ago, a very strange blue realm gate appeared at the border of the immortal and demonic realms. It seemed to have something to do with the Lower Realm. So … I'm guessing that the realm gate that connects the East Tsui Country to the Lower Realm has a problem as well? That's why no one ascended to immortality. "
"Realm gate?" Lonemoon fell silent. His heart tightened as he turned to look at Chef.
"It's nothing!" As if he knew what Lonemoon wanted to ask, Chef shook his head. "I've checked it." With that said, he handed the tea in his hand to Shen Ying. The last time he repaired the plane tree, he specially checked the realm gate. There were no abnormalities.
"Celestial Emperor Yi Qing, there must be a reason why Chang Qing City Lord's nephew died." Seeing that they did not believe him, Yu Cang said anxiously, "The Sacred Arrival Realm he's in has always been rich in Spirit Qi. Many immortals in East Tsui come from that realm. But in recent years, no cultivators have ascended. Although a few years is not a long time, one day in the Immortal Realm is a hundred years in the Lower Realm. Now tens of thousands of years have passed. No one has ascended in ten thousand years, how can there be any abnormalities! "
These words seemed to make sense, but …
"Young Emperor Yu, have you forgotten that when cultivators ascend to the Upper Realm, the location of the Immortal Ascension Stage is always uncertain? No one has ascended in your East Tsui, yet you don't allow people to ascend to other continents. "This is not like giving birth to children, where they can give birth to children? Lonemoon's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Yu Cang. "Or is it that … Young Emperor Yu is so sure that there are abnormalities in the Lower Realm because you have some other information and know in advance where they will ascend from?"
Yu Cang's face paled. He looked guilty as if he had been exposed. His eyes darted around frantically. After a while, he gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and knelt even straighter. "Please forgive me, Celestial Emperor. I … did use some tricks."
He looked up at Lonemoon, then glanced at Yi Qing, who did not even spare him a glance. Then, with some guilt, he said, "I was once in the Yu Lin Immortal Domain and was fortunate enough to find an ancient array formation. This array formation can create a kind of connection between cultivators from the same realm. That's why I set up this array formation in the various cities of East Tsui, so that immortals who have just ascended can quickly meet up with people they know. That's why … East Tsui has always been so prosperous. "
Lonemoon glanced at him. So this was the reason why he had not been removed?
"Celestial Emperor Yi Qing!" Yu Cang continued to speak to Chef anxiously. "My powers are low. I can't find out what the problem is with the research. This matter is very serious. You are a divine being, I'm sure you have a way. Please, Celestial Emperor, follow me to East Tsui and investigate this thoroughly … "
"I'm not going!" Before he could finish, Yi Qing rejected him. He still had to cultivate and marry his Master. Why would he go!
"Celestial … Celestial Emperor?!" Yu Cang was stunned. He did not expect Yi Qing to reject him so decisively. He turned to Lonemoon for help. "Young Emperor Lonemoon …"
"Go back first." Lonemoon did not agree directly. "We have our own plans for this."
"But I …" Yu Cang still wanted to say something.
Lonemoon had already turned around and waved his hand. "Men, send Young Emperor Yu out."
Yu Cang had no choice. He looked back and forth at the few people in the hall, then left reluctantly.
Only when Yu Cang was sent out of the heavenly palace did Lonemoon turn to Yi Qing. "Chef, what do you think?"
Yi Qing frowned. As he peeled a fruit, he replied, "There are many loopholes. He did not tell the truth, but there might be something."
"I think so too." Lonemoon nodded. "This Yu Cang must be hiding something. What's more, what I find strange is his attitude towards the lower realm! "
Yi Qing turned back to look at him.
"Logically speaking, after ascending to immortality, one would naturally be indifferent to everything in the lower realm." Lonemoon frowned. "Those who are going through the tribulation of ascension need to cut off all ties with the mortal world, and completely end all worldly matters. Only then can they ascend safely. Or like Roasted Chicken Gal and her husband, if they have the ability to withstand the Lightning Tribulation, they can bring others along to ascend. "
"Eh? Is that so? "Shen Ying, who was nibbling on a fruit, suddenly looked up.
"I'm not talking about you, shut up!" Cheats should not participate in the discussions of us ordinary people. "Go eat your fruit."
"… Oh." She continued to nibble.
"So …" Lonemoon continued to look at Chef. "There are so many immortals in the immortal realm, no one would be so concerned about the mortal world. They would also constantly pay attention to whether someone is ascending. And the array he mentioned is very strange. Chef, in this world … there really is an array that can control the position of one's ascension. "
"There is!" Chef nodded affirmatively. "The Mystic Spirit Array can temporarily open the realm gate and connect the two realms. But this is an array of the divine race. I don't think immortal spells can reach this level, but it can indeed control the position of the realm gate. "
Lonemoon's expression darkened. He thought of something and sent a message to Yu Hong to give some instructions. Soon, Yu Hong came in with a list.
"Elder Lonemoon, this is the list of Earth Immortals who ascended from the Bo Sea in the past ten years."
"Mm." Lonemoon opened the list and looked at the data for the last five years. Indeed, the distribution of Earth Immortals who ascended from all over the world was very even. There were tens of them in each country every year. Only the country behind East Tsui was empty. There was not a single one. "It seems that what Yu Cang said about no immortals ascending these few years was true. Could it really be because of the plane invasion? "He frowned and looked at a certain foodie." Shen Ying, what do you think? "
Shen Ying, who was suddenly called out, stopped chewing on her fruit and pointed to the list in his hand.
"Mm, I'll start from the front."
Huh? What did she mean?
He looked down at the beginning of the list and his eyes widened.
"Holy shit!"
