Upon hearing the arrival of Xuankong Temple's abbot, not only Shen Lang, but even Sect Leader Ren was shocked.
"Your Majesty, did you invite Abbot Ji Kong?" Sect Leader Ren asked.
Shen Lang shook his head. "No, I'm not close to him."
He wasn't lying. Shen Lang really wasn't close to Abbot Ji Kong.
"Is that so?" Sect Leader Ren said, "That's weird. Abbot Ji Kong is someone who transcends the mortal world. Why would he suddenly visit Stupa Mountain? Also, he didn't receive any invitation. "
Shen Lang was also very curious, could it be that this Gang One really came for him?
Sect Leader Ren bowed. "Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. I'll go welcome him now."
Shen Lang didn't say anything but his gaze was questioning. Sect Leader Ren immediately said, "Your Majesty is the ruler of Great Qian, of course, you don't have to welcome him. No matter how transcendent Abbot Ji Kong is, he's still below you."
When he said that, Sect Leader Ren looked at Shen Lang with doubt.
A few years ago, when Shen Lang had left the ancient ruins in the southern sea region, he had received help from Xuankong Temple's Elder Ji Mie. Both parties were on good terms.
Of course, Sect Leader Ren didn't say that out loud. He brought a few Stupa Mountain Elders out.
Then, Shen Lang didn't have to wait for long. Sect Leader Ren returned with another person. As expected, it was Gang Yi, who was Xuankong Temple's Elder Ji Kong.
When Shen Lang saw him, he wanted to shout, "Demon, where are you running to?"
This person was just too handsome and it was hard to tell if he was a man or a woman. He really wanted to snatch away the title of the most handsome man in Shen Lang.
A few months ago, Shen Lang had seen him in the ghost city of the Great Robbery Palace. To be honest, Shen Lang didn't know what the so-called ghost city was. Was it a real space or was it just a pure spiritual space?
Therefore, his meeting with Gang One at that time was like a dream.
Not only Shen Lang, but almost everyone present was seeing Ji Kong Abbot for the first time. All of them were shocked.
Ji Kong was too mysterious. Even the elders of Stupa Mountain had never seen him before. However, it was conceivable that in everyone's minds, Ji Kong should be an eminent monk with white hair and a beard. They didn't expect him to be a handsome man whose age and gender could not be determined at all. This was the true definition of a flawless face. Moreover, when he walked over, it was as if he was bathed in a warm light. He seemed especially intimate, like a gust of spring wind brushing against one's face.
Everyone else was shocked as well. Why did this Xuankong Temple's abbot Ji Kong come? He had never shown his face before.
"Ji Kong greets the Great Gan Emperor Lord." Ji Kong placed his palms together towards Shen Lang.
Shen Lang stood up and said, "Lang greets Abbot."
Next, Master Ji Kong said, "Your Majesty Shenlang, I came to Qianjing first before coming to Stupa Mountain."
Shen Lang was stunned. "Master, you came for me?"
Master Ji Kong said, "Yes."
Shen Lang asked, "Master, why are you looking for me?"
Previously, he tried to take over Shen Lang's body in Ghost City but failed. Shen Lang obtained the Great Calamity Wisdom King's soul. Shen Lang thought that Gang would come to find him, but he didn't. But now, he came again.
What was this? What did he want to do?
Master Ji Kong got right to the point and said, "I am here to give you a scripture."
Then, he took out a scroll from his sleeve. It was a very ordinary scroll. It looked like silk, cloth, and even a rolled up stone.
Shen Lang walked down the stairs and took the scripture with both hands. No matter what, Ji Kong had a very high status.
After taking it, Shen Lang immediately opened it and took a look. Indeed, this was a scroll of scripture, and it was very profound and rare. However, other than that, there didn't seem to be anything special about it. Could it be that there was something special about this scripture?
Gang came all the way here just to give this scripture?
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely read it well," Shen Lang said.
Ji Kong (Gang One) said, "Since the scripture is here, I shall take my leave. Goodbye."
Then, Abbot Ji Kong left immediately. He really waved his hand and didn't take anything with him. During the entire process, it was as if he had never been there. He stayed for less than five minutes from start to end.
Gang One, your actions could easily arouse Sect Leader Ren's suspicion. He was probably the most suspicious person in the world.
But from Sect Leader Ren's behavior, there didn't seem to be anything strange. He even personally sent Ji Kong off. But from start to end, Abbot Ji Kong didn't communicate with Sect Leader Ren at all.
After sending Abbot Ji Kong off, Sect Leader Ren acted as if nothing had happened. He bowed to Shen Lang and said, "Your Majesty, shall we continue?"
Shen Lang, "Okay, let's continue!"
Next, Stupa Mountain's allegiance ceremony officially began. The entire scene was very solemn and even sacred.
This made Shen Lang even more astonished. What kind of show is Sect Leader Ren putting on? It's just an act. Is there a need to be so solemn and sacred if you want to make me your puppet? By doing this, you will unknowingly elevate my sacred status in Stupa Mountain. After all, this is the Eastern world.
Once a person's status was deified, it would really be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Over time, even if Sect Leader Ren treated Shen Lang as a puppet, he would still become a king in the hearts of everyone in Stupa Mountain.
Even Liu Xie at the end of the Han Dynasty could take off his clothes and wear an imperial edict. The title of a legitimate emperor was very valuable. Ying Guang pursued it all his life but couldn't achieve it.
First, Sect Leader Ren respectfully kowtowed to Shen Lang three times and nine times in front of everyone.
The real three kowtows and nine bows were done meticulously. Moreover, it was accompanied by a solemn background music.
"Kneel!"
"Bow!"
"Kowtow!"
"Kowtow again!"
Under the command of the great eunuch Yun Hai, Sect Leader Ren completed this solemn ceremony in front of thousands of people on Stupa Mountain.
Shen Lang couldn't help but be even more astonished. It was just an act, was there a need to be so engrossed?
Stupa Mountain's Elder Guild, the various hall masters, and the various generals were all here. If Sect Leader Ren kowtowed three times and nine times in front of Shen Lang, what exactly were you trying to do?
After Sect Leader Ren completed the three kowtows and nine bows, the 13 elders performed the three kowtows and nine bows in front of Shen Lang to begin the loyalty ceremony.
At this moment, the background music changed again, but it was very different from the previous one. If one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't be able to hear it.
Every detail was impeccable, and it was completed completely according to the etiquette of the Eastern Royal Family.
This was truly amazing. Just this simple music alone couldn't be produced in Fury Tide City, nor did they have such a complete repertoire.
After the 13 elders performed the three kowtows and nine bows, it was time for the tens of substitute elders, tens of hall masters, and tens of hall masters to perform the three kowtows and nine bows.
Over a hundred people kowtowed to Shen Lang, kneeled, and crawled, and performed an unprecedented ceremony.
Finally, everyone shouted, "Long live His Majesty, long live, long live!"
Wasn't this loyalty ceremony a little too serious? There was no need to do this. What exactly was Sect Leader Ren up to?
At this moment, someone outside said respectfully, "Reporting to His Majesty, reporting to Sect Leader …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Sect Leader Ren said angrily, "Slap yourself, you still have to call me Sect Leader at this time. From today onwards, Stupa Mountain will only be His Majesty's temporary imperial residence. There will no longer be a transcendent force. What sect leader? There will only be a Grand Preceptor, no Sect Leader Ren."
Immediately, two eunuchs went forward and ruthlessly slapped that person.
That person didn't dare to cry out in pain. After the beating, he respectfully said again, "Reporting to His Majesty, reporting to Grand Preceptor …"
Sect Leader Ren said again, "Slap yourself, how many times have I said that there is no more Stupa Mountain, only Stupa Palace. There is only one master here, and that is the supreme His Majesty. You can just report to His Majesty, why do you have to bring me along? Are you trying to frame me for disloyalty? "
Huh?! That's too much, too much.
Sect Leader Ren, your acting is too much. It is very dangerous. It will really send a strong signal and make the entire Stupa Mountain think that Shen Lang is the master.
At this moment, Shen Lang was a little stunned. Things seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
This … This Sect Leader Ren doesn't seem to completely treat me as a puppet? Is there a need to keep elevating my status? Moreover, he seems so impatient, as though he wants to forge a golden body for Shen Lang in an instant.
The person outside continued to kowtow and said, "Reporting to His Majesty, the Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian is here to visit."
Shen Lang was stunned. Prince Lian is here? He came so quickly and just in time.
Shen Lang has only been at Stupa Mountain for less than two days, and he has already rushed here?
What is Prince Lian trying to do? Is he trying to stop the alliance between Shen Lang and Stupa Mountain? However, in Shen Lang's heart, he and Sect Leader Ren were just a fake alliance.
Shen Lang looked at Sect Leader Ren and said, "Grand Tutor, this Prince Lian should be looking for you, right?"
Sect Leader Ren knelt down and kowtowed. "His Majesty is supreme, so it is entirely up to you to summon Prince Lian from the Great Yan Empire."
Shen Lang realized that when it was just him and Sect Leader Ren, Sect Leader Ren's attitude was rather casual. However, in this public setting, Sect Leader Ren's attitude couldn't be described with just the word 'respectful'. He was completely like an extremely respectful official.
Shen Lang said, "Since he is already here, let's meet him."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sect Leader Ren replied.
Then, he faced the outside and said, "His Majesty summons Prince Lian from the Great Yan Empire for an audience."
Then, outside the palace, the voice really spread in waves.
"His Majesty summons Prince Lian from the Great Yan Empire for an audience."
"His Majesty summons Prince Lian from the Great Yan Empire for an audience!"
Shen Lang had finally encountered such a scene that was only seen in movies. He thoroughly enjoyed the treatment of an emperor.
After a while, the young Prince Lian from the Great Yan Empire walked in. He did not salute Shen Lang. Instead, he cupped his fists at Sect Leader Ren and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Ren."
Sect Leader Ren meticulously returned the greeting and said, "Your Highness Prince Lian, let me correct you. From now on, there will no longer be Stupa Mountain. There will only be Stupa Palace in the Great Qian Empire. The title of Sect Leader Ren will no longer exist. Only the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Empire, the Grand Tutor Ren!"
Prince Lian was slightly taken aback. Was it that thorough?
Sect Leader Ren continued, "Prince Lian, I know what you want to say, and I also know what you want to talk to me about. However, there is no need for that. There is no room for negotiation between us. If you are here as a diplomatic envoy to witness our loyalty ceremony, you are more than welcome. However, if you are here to negotiate with me, then please leave. Also, please do not disrespect His Majesty. Otherwise, I will let you know that the sword of Stupa Palace is still very sharp. "
After saying that, Sect Leader Ren placed his hand on the hilt of the Dragon Sword.
'F * ck, this … Are you trying to become Shenlang's most loyal subject?'
Prince Lian was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, "Interesting, interesting. In that case, I shall be a guest and witness this loyalty ceremony."
Sect Leader Ren knelt and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, shall the loyalty ceremony continue?"
Shenlang said, "Yes."
Then, the solemn and grand loyalty ceremony continued.
After more than an hour, the Allegiance Ceremony finally came to an end.
As expected, Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire remained silent.
Finally, Sect Leader Ren announced in a clear voice, "Everyone, from today onwards, there will only be Stupa Palace and no more Stupa Mountain. Everyone present here is no longer the elders and hall masters of Stupa Mountain, but the subjects of the Great Qian Empire and His Majesty. "
Under Sect Leader Ren's lead, more than a thousand people kowtowed to Shenlang and said, "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
Prince Lian smiled and said, "Your Majesty Shenlang, it seems like there is no room for negotiation between me and Stupa Mountain. Farewell!"
Then, the young Prince Lian left right away.
After the loyalty ceremony, it was time for the state banquet.
At this moment, Shen Lang suddenly said, "Grand Preceptor, I want to issue a decree. Is that possible?"
Sect Leader Ren immediately knelt and said, "Your subject is afraid. Your subject will obey any decree Your Majesty has. Please issue a decree, Your Majesty."
Shen Lang said, "Raging Tide City's supply of Nightmare Stones has been depleted, but research cannot be stopped for even a day. Grand Tutor, please send a batch of Nightmare Stones to Raging Tide City."
Sect Leader Ren kowtowed and said, "Your subject obeys!"
Then, he stood up and said, "His Majesty has decreed that Dark Castle in the southern sea must immediately transport all of its Nightmare Stones to Raging Tide City."
Subsequently, Sect Leader Ren personally wrote down this decree, and then he passed it to Shen Lang with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. Is there anything you need to consider in this decree?"
Shen Lang: "Very good, Grand Tutor's handwriting is very good."
"Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty!" Sect Leader Ren unfolded the decree and placed it on the table, "Your Majesty, please stamp it!"
Shen Lang took out his personal seal and stamped it on the imperial edict. This wasn't against the rules because many emperors in ancient China also liked to use their personal seals for their decrees. For example, the famous Shi Quan Old Man.
Generally speaking, an imperial decree needed two seals. One was the emperor's seal, and the other was the official's seal. Otherwise, it would be considered an imperial decree.
Sect Leader Ren knelt on the ground and said, "The Great Qian Empire's official is not here. Your subject fears and wishes to stamp the Stupa Palace's seal. Your Majesty, please decide."
So formal?!
"Very well," Shen Lang said.
Then, Sect Leader Ren carefully took out a seal and stamped it on the decree. It really was the official seal of the Stupa Palace.
You're really something. You even carved this seal in advance.
Once the decree came into effect and a ship of Nightmare Crystals was shipped from Dark Castle to Wrath Tide, the decree would become authoritative. Even the Stupa Palace's seal would become authoritative.
After stamping the decree, it was put into a box and sealed with wax.
"Mister Wu, bring this imperial edict to Dark Castle and tell them to deliver the Nightmare Dream Stone to Ragetide as soon as possible. Any delays will be severely punished," Sectmaster Ren said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wu Jue bowed.
He took the box with both hands and bowed. "I'll be taking my leave."
Wu Jue kept retreating. After exiting the palace gates, he immediately mounted the Ancient Vulture and flew towards the Southern Sea.
When everything was done, Yun Hai asked, "Your Majesty, shall we begin the feast?"
"Yes." Shen Lang nodded.
The great eunuch Yun Hai shouted, "His Majesty has decreed, let the feast begin!"
Then, the music changed again. It was still solemn, but it was not as solemn as before. Instead, it seemed more cheerful.
Next was the so-called Great Qian national banquet. Almost everyone was flattering Shen Lang, praising his achievements to the heavens.
Sectmaster Ren didn't try to steal Shen Lang's limelight. He didn't even look like a powerful official.
When the banquet was over, Shen Lang tried to ask, "Grand Tutor, is my ancient dragon box in Stupa Mountain?"
How important was this dragon box? Would Sectmaster Ren refuse it? Your Stupa Mountain should be thinking of seizing this ancient treasure for yourself, right?
Sect Leader Ren replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. Because of Ying Guang, the dragon box is contaminated. I've already had it cleaned. "
"Then send it to my room," Shen Lang said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sectmaster Ren didn't refuse.
"Oh right, where's Ying Ying?" Shen Lang asked.
"She's still in the underground tomb. She stays there for a long time. I think it's beneficial for her recovery."
"Bring her back," Shen Lang probed again. "Her skin is no longer transparent, and she's not afraid of sunlight."
Sect Master Ren bowed. "I'll send someone to bring her back!"
He still didn't refuse!
… …
After the banquet, Shen Lang returned to his quarters to rest. Sect Master Ren, as well as all the elders and hall masters of Stupa Mountain, left.
There was only Shen Lang, a thousand eunuchs, and a few thousand palace maids in the entire Stupa Palace.
He was truly the supreme master of this place. From the beginning to the end, every word that Shen Lang said was completely obeyed by the entire Stupa Mountain. There was no disobedience at all.
This, this is really strange. He didn't look like a puppet at all. He really looked like an autocratic monarch.
What was this Sect Master Ren trying to do?
However, he cast aside these distracting thoughts. To Shen Lang, the most important thing was to save Princess Ren Yingying and wake her up.
And Gang Yi, he came all the way here just to deliver a scripture to Shen Lang?
Shen Lang picked up the scripture and studied it carefully. He discovered that it was just an ordinary scripture.
However, after scanning it with an X-ray, he immediately discovered that it was different.
Was there a technique hidden in this scripture? No, it wasn't exactly a technique. It was more like a spiritual secret manual.
It was engraved in the scripture like an ancient book. There were tens of thousands of words and complicated pictures.
After Shen Lang briefly read through it, he was surprised to discover that this was actually a set of extremely profound mental power cultivation technique.
Its function was very simple. It was to revive a person's spiritual soul.
And the name of this technique was "Living Death Scripture".
This was too awesome!
Moreover, this was only the first volume. Its principles were very advanced and simple.
The death of a person, in the final analysis, was the death of the soul. In modern terms, it was brain death.
Even if the heart was pierced, it wasn't because the heart was pierced, but because the heart was pierced and couldn't supply blood to the brain, resulting in brain death.
To some extent, as long as the soul didn't die, the person would never die. Therefore, there was the thousand-year inheritance of the Great Tribulation Wisdom King's soul.
According to the theory of the Living Death Scripture, after death, the soul would vanish, but there would still be countless imprints left in the brain.
And this spiritual technique of the Living Death Scripture could attack the brain with powerful spiritual power according to these soul imprints, allowing the whole person to be resurrected again.
Therefore, it was called the Living Death Scripture!
What did this mean? Resurrection of a vegetable? This was just the minimum.
According to this theory, even if a person died, as long as the body and brain didn't decay, they could be resurrected to a certain extent. Of course, after resurrection, they were called the living dead and puppets.
Of course, this was the highest level of the Living Death Scripture. Gang Yi only gave Shen Lang the first volume.
What did this mean? Help in the hour of need? At this moment, Shen Lang was thinking of a way to save Princess Ren Yingying.
She had undergone a nirvana transformation, and her martial arts cultivation had become very shocking. However, she was still in a deep sleep. Her mind had been destroyed by Sect Head Ren, and she had become a walking corpse.
Meanwhile, Shen Lang had already come up with a plan to save Princess Ren Yingying. It required the use of the Nightmare Stone, as well as a powerful mental strength. Unexpectedly, the last genius of the Great Tribulation Palace, Gang Yi, actually sent him the Living Death Scripture.
This was like sending a pillow to him when he was dozing off.
Many of Shen Lang's ideas were verified. How to save Princess Ren Yingying and how to wake her up were all written clearly in the first volume of the Living Death Scripture.
Did you know how to read minds? You knew that I wanted to save Ren Yingying, so you immediately sent me this scripture?
Back in Ghost City, Shen Lang realized that Gang Yi knew many of Shen Lang's secrets. He even knew that Shen Lang didn't belong to this world.
This person was really demonic and unimaginable. Most importantly, was he a friend or foe?
Also, according to Shen Lang's imagination, there had to be at least one person secretly monitoring Shen Lang's every move, right? Previously in the Underground Tomb, the majestic female warrior Ren Tao had been keeping an eye on him at all times. There was also a twin in the room next to him, monitoring Shen Lang's every move at all times.
But now, while Shen Lang was researching the Living Death Scripture, there wasn't a single person within a hundred meters.
No one was monitoring him, and no one was listening in on him. Also, the ancient dragon box had been cleaned and placed in Shen Lang's bedroom.
He didn't seem to be under house arrest, nor did he seem like a puppet.
However, Shen Lang once again threw these thoughts to the back of his mind. He focused on the goal in front of him, which was to save Princess Ren Yingying.
According to Sect Head Ren, Princess Ren Yingying would be sent to Buddha Palace within two days.
For now, it was better to sleep peacefully!
… …
The next day!
After Shen Lang woke up, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs immediately waited on him to wash up. It was time for him to eat breakfast. This was unprecedented luxury, much better than the treatment he received in the Angry Tidewater City.
Shen Lang had always enjoyed a luxurious life, but it was rare to see such extravagance.
"Your Majesty, is there a morning court session today?" Eunuch Yun Hai asked.
Morning court session? Such a high-level game? I didn't even have morning court sessions in the Angry Tidewater City.
Are you really going to turn Buddha Mountain into my, Shen Lang's, temporary imperial residence?
Shen Lang said, "Alright, then let's have morning court session."
… …
Next, Shen Lang really did have morning court session. This was the first time he had ever had one.
The music and the process were even more professional than when Ning Yuanxian of the State of Yue attended court sessions. And this was just a minor court session.
In the grand and luxurious hall, Shen Lang wore a dragon robe and a crown. Hundreds of officials stood in two rows below him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
"If there is a memorial, the court session will be dismissed," Eunuch Yun Hai said.
Shen Lang wanted to know if there would really be anyone who would report to the Supreme Court. Also, he realized that the traces of Buddha Mountain had been wiped clean. Everyone present was wearing the official robes of the Great Qian Empire. All the soldiers of the Hell Army were also wearing the Great Qian Empire's insignia.
At first glance, he really felt that this was the real Great Qian palace. It was even more formal than the one in Qian Capital.
"I have a memorial," Sect Master Ren said.
Shen Lang said, "Speak."
Sect Master Ren stepped out of the ranks, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, our Futu Palace has just completed its restructuring. This subject has worked overnight to come up with a name list that requires the officials of the original Futu Mountain to be conferred official positions.
Then, Eunuch Yun Hai took Sect Master Ren's memorial. There were a thousand names on it. They were all important figures in Buddha Mountain.
Sect Master Ren said, "If Your Majesty thinks it is okay, send two copies of the name list to Qian Capital and Raging Tide City. Invite the Imperial Secretariat and the Imperial Privy Council to send officials to Buddha Palace to guide the appointment and removal of officials."
Shen Lang said, "Okay, approved!"
Immediately, more than ten special warriors flew out of Buddha Palace and flew to Qian Capital and Raging Tide City with the official document.
It was too formal, much more formal than Shen Lang's Great Qian Empire.
Shen Lang suddenly said, "Grand Tutor, when Ren Tianxiao left Qian Capital, did he take three sets of dragon power with him?"
Sect Master Ren said, "Yes. Because Buddha Mountain hadn't completely merged with the Great Qian Empire, these three sets of dragon power were strategic resources for Buddha Mountain. But now that the loyalty ceremony has been completed, all of these resources will be distributed by Your Majesty. "
Shen Lang said, "Then, send two of them to Qian Capital and the other to Raging Tide City."
Sect Master Ren said, "Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."
This request was too much. He could even agree to this? This was a strategic resource, and Shen Lang had decided to monopolize it all?
Shen Lang said again, "Now that the Great Yan Empire and the Great Qian Empire are like fire and water, and Qian Capital is very close to the Great Yan Empire, we only have fifty thousand troops stationed there. We also lack aerial troops. This is very disadvantageous. Please immediately send a thousand snow eagles to Qian Capital and hand them over to Marshal Chou Yao Er."
Shen Lang was asking for too much. How much military strength was a thousand snow eagles? It was almost a portion of Buddha Mountain's aerial forces. Shen Lang just casually asked for them to be sent to Qian Capital? If they were sent there, Buddha Mountain would never get them back.
In the end, Sect Master Ren didn't hesitate and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Then, an hour later, the thousand snow eagles flew into the sky towards Qian Capital.
They were really empty. There were no special warriors on them, just over a hundred aerial cavalry escorting the snow eagles.
This, this was just too shocking.
This … Were they still puppets? Every word that Shen Lang said was like an imperial edict. Buddha Mountain carried it out without any reservations and didn't try to avoid it.
Not only that, the morning court session was unprecedentedly formal.
They were really discussing court matters. Sect Master Ren reported the defense of Buddha Mountain, the Black Castle in the southern ocean region, the secret base, and the training of the new Hell Army.
If he could say it publicly, he would say it publicly. If he couldn't, he would just write a memorial.
Therefore, Sect Leader Ren, oh no, Grand Preceptor Ren, actually presented the memorial for four whole hours during the morning court assembly.
This, how was this the sect master of a transcendent faction? He really was like a pillar of the Great Qian Empire. He was even more like a prime minister than Suo Xuan.
This meeting went all the way to noon and it still hadn't ended.
"Your Majesty, I still have one last book." Sect Master Ren said.
Shen Lang said, "Speak."
Sect Master Ren said, "The Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms' secretaries and the Privy Council will send their core officials to Raging Tide City for training. Emperor Jiang Li once said that he wanted to unravel civilization. Raging Tide City is already at the forefront and is developing with each passing day. On the other hand, my Stupa Palace is conservative to a certain extent. Some of our officials have just changed their identities and are sticking to the rules. This subject requests that Stupa Mountain send a group of young officials to Raging Tide City to learn and train. "
Not only did he want all three of them to work together, but he also wanted them to become one? It seemed like he wanted to merge Buddha Mountain into the Great Qian Empire?
"Approved!" Shen Lang said.
"I thank you for your kindness." Sect Master Ren said.
Shen Lang asked, "Ren Yingying, when can you come?"
"She will probably be sent back to Buddha Palace tomorrow morning." Sect Master Ren said.
He directly changed the way he addressed her and didn't call her Ren Yingying. He also didn't call her his daughter and just called her Lady.
This had always been a way to accentuate Shen Lang's supreme status.
What exactly was this Sect Leader Ren trying to do?
… …
The sun was setting in the west. In a secret underground cave in Buddha Mountain!
It was a very, very deep underground cave. This was a forbidden area that only Sect Master Ren could enter.
After entering the deepest secret room, he opened the stone door.
There was a young corpse lying inside. It was completely frozen and had a very familiar handsome face.
The temperature here was very low. Sect Master Ren took out a large mirror and looked at it. He took off the Great Qian Empire's imperial tutor's robe.
Next, he took off the silk lining and revealed his body.
Even though he was already over 70 years old, he looked like he was in his 40s or 50s. It made people feel that he could live for at least a few more decades.
However … his body beneath his robes was a ghastly sight to behold.
His chest and abdomen were all dark and rotten.
They looked like they were going to rot through. Furthermore, it wasn't the rotting of flesh. There was no pus or ulceration. It was pure dark rot.
Sect Master Ren looked at his rotting chest and abdomen in pain. He trembled and said, "Senior Ji Kong, how long … can I live?"
… …
