On this day, Song Zhong was leisurely drinking tea in the partially finished Purple Celestial Hall, while at the same time thinking about the next step of the plan. Suddenly, someone reported that Zhu Rong Tian had sent an immortal to find Song Zhong.
Song Zhong hurriedly invited him in and found that this person was a supervisor under the Lord of Fire. He was the one who personally sent Song Zhong to the East Imperial Realm.
Since he was an acquaintance, Song Zhong would not neglect him. He invited him to take a seat and drink some tea before asking him why he was here. However, the supervisor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I have official business to attend to today, so I won't be seated. Realm Lord, I am here to invite you on the orders of the Lord of Fire. He wants you to see him now. What do you think? Should we leave now? "
When Song Zhong heard that it was the Lord of Fire who invited him, he immediately became serious. Of course, he couldn't not give him face, so he immediately said, "Okay, let's go now!"
As he finished speaking, SongZhong followed the supervisor out. Along the way, SongZhong asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, I wonder what True Monarch is looking for me for?"
"Hehe, it's a good thing. You'll know when you get there!" The supervisor smiled politely. Although he looked very amiable, Song Zhong was tantamount to eating a soft nail. Obviously, he didn't dare to easily reveal the matter of the Lord of Fire.
Song Zhong had no choice but to laugh bitterly. Then, he changed the topic and chatted with him for a while.
Not long after, the two of them took the teleportation array to Zhu Rong Tian, and soon came to the office temple of the Lord of Fire again.
The supervisor led Song Zhong directly into the innermost part of the building. At the place where the Lord of Fire entertained Song Zhong last time, Song Zhong saw the Lord of Fire waiting for him.
Seeing Song Zhong come in, the Lord of Fire enthusiastically got up to greet him personally. After welcoming Song Zhong in and serving tea and snacks, the Lord of Fire sent away the other idlers before asking politely, "How was it? How was your time in the Immortal Realm? "
"Not bad!" Song Zhong smiled and said, "The East Imperial Realm is much better than I thought!"
"Haha, if you can say that, then I'm relieved!" The Lord of Fire smiled with relief, "If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. Although my position is not very high, at least in Zhu Rong Tian, I can still speak for you!"
"Hehe, thank you for your concern, senior. If there is any trouble, I will definitely ask!" Song Zhong hurriedly said politely.
Seeing Song Zhong's sincerity, the Lord of Fire was very satisfied. He nodded with relief, and then said, "That's good!"
Later, the Lord of Fire sighed softly, and then said somewhat helplessly, "Hey, do you know why I invited you this time?"
"This junior doesn't know!" Song Zhong said very honestly.
"Actually, I have something to ask of you!" The Lord of Fire said with a sad face.
"En?" Song Zhong was stunned when he heard it. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "But I don't know what is so difficult for you? If there's anything I can do to help, I definitely won't refuse! "
Song Zhong's words were unusually pertinent, and they were indeed his heartfelt words. He was not being polite. After all, he was now the closest to the Lord of Fire, and they would inevitably rely on each other in the future. Moreover, the two people's temperaments were also very congenial. Song Zhong had a good impression of the Lord of Fire, so he was willing to help him.
When the Lord of Fire saw Song Zhong say this, he was very happy and said, "Haha, that's great. In fact, seriously speaking, this matter really needs your help!"
"Really? What the hell is this? "Song Zhong immediately asked curiously.
"It's like this!" The Lord of Fire lowered his head and smiled at Song Zhong, "Nephew, do you know about the Martial Arts Exhibition that is held once in a hundred years?"
"Martial Arts Exhibition? I'm really not too sure about this! "Song Zhong immediately shook his head.
"It's like this!" The Lord of Fire explained with a smile, "Our Heavenly Court has been fighting with the demons and ghosts of the outside world all day long, so we attach great importance to martial arts. In order to encourage the Immortals below to step up their cultivation, the Heavenly Court decided to hold a Martial Arts Exhibition every hundred years to gather the elite soldiers under the five Heavenly Emperors and have a good competition. Moreover, the Heavenly Court also allows the wandering Immortals among the people to participate. The reason for this is to attract the experts among the people to recruit talents and absorb new blood. The other reason is that the five Heavenly Emperors want to secretly compete with each other! Over time, this event has become extremely lively, even comparable to the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother of the West. "
"Oh, so that's the case!" Song Zhong nodded and then said, "So, what's the difficulty for you?"
"I have to talk to my old enemy, Lord of Heaven Splitting Sage!" The Lord of Fire said helplessly, "The Martial Arts Exhibition is one of the most important projects of the Heavenly Court. I, Zhu Rong Tian, naturally can't stay out of it. However, the quota given by the Heavenly Court is limited, and there are many people who want to go. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, before every Martial Arts Exhibition, we, Zhu Rong Tian, must have a small internal competition to determine who will participate in this event. "
"In the past, my disciples often represented Zhu Rong Tian to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition. Although they didn't get a high ranking, at least I still had some face. However, since my orthodoxy was attacked by the bastards of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmanship Sect, among my disciples who ascended. There are fewer and fewer disciples who are capable. So much so that there is no talent who can give me face. On the contrary, the disciples of that old bastard, Lord of Heaven Splitting Sage, are more abnormal than the other. In the past ten thousand years, they have participated in the Martial Arts Exhibition in succession. Among the three levels of Heavenly Immortals, True Immortals, and Golden Immortals, they have suppressed my disciples to the point where they can't even raise their heads! "The Lord of Fire said angrily," Tell me, how can I swallow this? "
Although the Lord of Fire still had a lot of things that he didn't say, Song Zhong could hear from it that the Lord of Fire's resentment towards Lord of Heaven Splitting Sage was not just due to the defeat of his disciples. From the relationship between the two families, Song Zhong dared to conclude that after Lord of Heaven Splitting Sage won, he was afraid that he had ridiculed the Lord of Fire. Otherwise, this old guy who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years would not be so angry.
However, although Song Zhong knew it in his heart, he didn't point it out. He just asked faintly, "What do you mean?"
"I want to ask you to represent me and participate in this Martial Arts Exhibition!" The Lord of Fire said bitterly, "Help me to severely dampen the spirit of Lord of Heaven Splitting Sage! How about it? "
"Me? Is this appropriate? "Song Zhong couldn't help but ask in surprise," After all, I've just ascended? "
"This doesn't matter. First of all, you are the Realm Lord of the East Imperial Realm and belong to me, Zhu Rong Heaven. In principle, you have the qualifications to participate. Secondly, as the Lord of Zhu Rong Heaven, I have the right to recommend talents. I can recommend anyone!" The Lord of Fire laughed, "So, now I'm just waiting for your word!"
"Oh, this?" When Song Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "My Lord, although I am a Gold Immortal, I am only at the middle stage of the Gold Immortal realm. In the Gold Immortal realm, there should be many people who are stronger than me, right?"
"Haha, others may be like this, but you are different. The Chaotic Giant Spirit Clan is the descendant of Pangu and is known as the strongest. That is not an undeserved reputation. Even a middle stage Gold Immortal is enough to fight against a guy at the peak of the Gold Immortal realm. You don't have to be modest in front of me! "The Lord of Fire laughed.
"This is not being modest!" Song Zhong smiled bitterly, "I'm really afraid of ruining your plans?"
In fact, Song Zhong was lazy and unwilling to fight with others. He didn't care about the prizes, so why bother? After all, this was a grand event of the Heavenly Court. At that time, all the elites of the Immortal World would come. Although Song Zhong was confident, he did not dare to guarantee that he would win. Moreover, swords have no eyes. Maybe he would be plotted against in the ring by then!
The Lord of Fire obviously saw Song Zhong's perfunctory intention, but this was also human nature. Except for those fighting madmen, who would want to fight to the death with others for no reason? So he was not angry.
However, not being angry did not mean that the Lord of Fire had given up. He suddenly laughed sinisterly and said, "Hehe, Song Zhong, do you know what the prize of the Martial Arts Exhibition is?"
"I don't know, but after all, it is a grand event for the Heavenly Court to recruit subordinates. I don't think they will be stingy!" Song Zhong said lightly.
"Of course!" The Lord of Fire laughed, "According to the rules, the first person of the Golden Immortal level can enter the Jade Emperor's Treasury and choose three things at will. The other two levels will be reduced by one item in turn!"
"The Jade Emperor's Treasury?" After Song Zhong heard it, he immediately became spirited and hurriedly asked, "What's inside?"
"That's a lot. From the Flat Peach that ripens every nine thousand years to various Level Nine Immortal Artifacts, there's everything. There's nothing that you haven't seen before that doesn't exist inside!" The Lord of Fire said proudly, "How is it? Are you tempted? "
"This ~" Song Zhong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked, "I just want to ask about one thing. In the hands of Guanyin of the South Sea, is there the Innate True Water in the suet jade neck bottle?"
"Of course there is!" The Lord of Fire then asked strangely, "Why are you asking this?"
Song Zhong didn't hide it and said directly with emotion, "I have two good sisters who were transformed from the twin lotuses of ice and fire. Back then, I was harmed by a villain and was in danger. It was the two of them who sacrificed the essence of the Yi Wood that they had accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years to allow me to cultivate the body of the Chaotic Giant Spirit and free myself from the trap of certain death. However, the two of them were directly beaten back to their original form. I don't know how many years it will take for them to recover! "
"Ah, there's actually such a thing?" The Lord of Fire exclaimed, "These two people have done a great favor for you. You have to repay them well!"
"I think so too, so after coming to the Immortal World, the first thing I did was to inquire about how to restore them. As a result, I got a lot of answers. Unfortunately, it was either too slow or there were side effects. The only good way left is to water them with the Innate True Water in the suet jade neck bottle, which can completely restore them without any other side effects! "Song Zhong then asked," I don't know if senior thinks this method will work? "
"It definitely won't be a problem!" The Lord of Fire immediately said solemnly, "The Innate True Water in the suet jade neck bottle has infinite mysteries. Legend has it that it was an innate treasure that existed before Pangu created the world. If you water it, not only can the twin lotuses of ice and fire be restored, but it can also guarantee that their strength will be further enhanced! "
"I also got the same news from others!" Song Zhong then smiled bitterly, "But the problem is that the Innate True Water in the suet jade neck bottle is a supreme treasure. Guanyin won't give it away easily. I'm just a small character who doesn't deserve to carry her shoes. Obviously, she won't give this thing to me for nothing, right? "
"Hehe, that's natural. Not to mention you, even I can't get it." The Lord of Fire said with a smile, "However, the Heavenly Emperor still has some face with Guanyin, so there is the Innate True Water in Guanyin's suet jade neck bottle in his treasury. If you can win first place, then this thing is yours! "
"Do I have to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition?" Song Zhong said with a depressed face, "I'm already tired of fighting in the lower level. I didn't expect to continue fighting after ascending to the Heavenly Realm. This is really unbearable."
"Haha, it's okay!" The Lord of Fire patted Song Zhong's shoulder and laughed, "After all, the Martial Arts Exhibition is the face of the Heavenly Court, so killing is not allowed. There are high-level Immortals watching over every match. For so many years, there has never been an accident. Besides, even if you are seriously injured, with the treatment methods of the Immortals, it will not cause permanent damage to you at all. Otherwise, those Immortals who are afraid of death would not take the risk to participate in this event! "
"Oh, if that's the case, then I can only bite the bullet and agree!" Song Zhong then said with a helpless face, "I don't know if I can succeed. Maybe I will be beaten back in the first round?"
"Impossible!" The Lord of Fire immediately laughed and said, "I have confidence in you!"
When Song Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "You haven't seen me fight, so why are you so optimistic about me?"
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth!" The Lord of Fire said proudly, "In the past, there were also people from the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan. Even if they were only intermediate or even beginner Gold Immortals, they could still beat the Peak Gold Immortals until they couldn't tell north from south. They had almost never been defeated!"
"You said 'almost'?" Song Zhong keenly noticed this word, and then asked directly, "Is there a time when they fail?"
"There are, but it's very rare. They were all defeated because of a moment of carelessness and fell into a trap!" The Lord of Fire laughed and said, "So, when the Immortal World holds a Martial Arts Exhibition, as long as the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan participates, they can almost certainly take first place. This is going to become a rule. "
"Ha, if that's the case, wouldn't other Immortals have no chance to come out?" Song Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Would the Heavenly Court agree?"
