As the name suggested, the Immortal Welcoming Hall was the place where the Celestial Court welcomed guests. It was located inside the Central Heavenly Gate.
The Immortal Welcoming Hall was mainly used to receive the famous Itinerant Immortals of the Primordial World who had come to seek refuge in the Celestial Court. Occasionally, like now, it would be the place where the legitimate gods of the Celestial Court would "officially meet" Itinerant Cultivators.
The definition of Itinerant Cultivators was different. In the Primordial World, they mostly referred to lone Qi Refinement Warriors who did not have any sect to rely on.
In the Celestial Court, those who did not enter the Celestial Court's immortal records could be treated as Itinerant Cultivators.
Li Changshou wanted to use the Immortal Welcoming Hall. The priest in charge of managing the hall was rather nervous. They ran back and forth, sprinkling water and arranging flowers, making everything look grand and elegant.
An hour later, the Goddess of Fire Spirit was the first to be lured there. She looked around and was a little reserved.
The Fire Spirit cultivated the Great Dao of Fire. She liked to wear a red dress the most. Her figure was rather charming under the thin dress, but she was also a beautiful fairy.
The Heavenly General cupped his hands politely and said, "Please wait here for a while. Lord Taibai Jinxing will meet you later."
"Thank you." The Goddess of Fire Spirit returned the bow. She did not hesitate and sat on the nearby round chair.
When the Heavenly General went to wait outside the hall, the Goddess of Fire Spirit heaved a sigh of relief.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit felt an inexplicable sense of pressure when she came to the Celestial Court this time.
The pressure was especially obvious. The moment she stepped into the Heaven Gate, she subconsciously began to think about how she should retreat if she was ambushed.
However, the conclusion she came to was that she could not retreat.
The rich Heavenly Dao power, the "Immortal Array" that was placed on the surface, and the mighty and endless Heavenly Might made the Goddess of Fire Spirit think of retreating.
Her strength should not be considered low in the Primordial Three Realms.
In the Heaven Gate, patrolling Heavenly Soldiers could be seen everywhere. They were orderly and not chaotic at all. The faces of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were filled with calmness, as if they were not just in the Dao Realm of the Perfected Immortal realm.
He walked out with the might of a tiger and the aura of a Heaven Immortal.
How many years has it been?
The Fire Spirit sighed in her heart. She recalled the respect and reverence that came from the bottom of his heart when the Heavenly General mentioned the word 'Lord Taibai Jinxing' …
Suddenly.
"Greetings, Lord Star Lord!"
"Greetings, Lord Star Lord!"
"Sigh, there's no need to be so polite. Generals, you've worked hard. Please rest for now.
Some conversations suddenly sounded from outside the hall. The Goddess of Fire Spirit hurriedly stood up and welcomed Li Changshou. She bowed to Li Changshou.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Changgeng!"
"Mm." Li Changshou smiled and waved his hand. "No need to be so polite. Come sit down and talk."
After saying that, Li Changshou and the Goddess of Fire Spirit took their seats nearby. They did not distinguish between the guests and the main guests.
He was using the face of an old immortal. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth and a benevolent look on his face. There was a hint of inquiry in the depths of his eyes, as if he was saying, "Don't worry."
An auspicious Daoist Rhyme spread out, and a faint fragrance refreshed the mind.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit realized that her Dao heart had relaxed. The pressure she had felt in the Celestial Court had quietly disappeared.
This …
How long has it been?
Why can't I even see through Uncle-Master Changgeng's paper effigy?
The Goddess of Fire Spirit had actually interacted with Li Changshou a few times. At that time, Li Changshou's "permanent office" was in the rear hall of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City, under the painting of the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch.
At that time, the Goddess of Golden Light had secretly fallen in love with Zhao Gongming. She also thought about her status in the sect and the difference in her Dao realm. She did not dare to speak for many years.
Li Changshou had successfully established the image of an "emotional mentor" in Jie School because of Fairy Yun Xiao.
At that time, the person who accompanied Jin Guang was the Goddess of Fire Spirit. Li Changshou had even given the Goddess of Fire Spirit some tricks. Later on, Jin Guang finally got what she wanted and tried to become Dao companions with Zhao Gongming.
The outcome of that matter was filled with regret.
The feelings in the Primordial World were not child's play. The two of them did not get along well and could not find Dao companions. There was no need for them to live together, so it came to an end.
The emotional experience of failing with the Goddess of Golden Light made Zhao Gongming open his heart and feel a little restless.
Later, Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit secretly fell for each other and secretly became Dao companions. They had yet to announce it to the public.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit was the eldest disciple of Jie School's inner sect. She was the Eldest Senior Sister of Jie School in name. Her ranking was second only to Daoist Duobao. She was ruthless and did not talk much. She was irritable and had many treasures.
The Goddess of Golden Light was an outer sect disciple of Jie School. She was the only female immortal member of the ten Heavenly Lords. She was ranked outside the top hundred. She was the type that the disciples of the Green Touring Palace could attend or not.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit was Daoist Duobao's disciple. She was on good terms with Jin Guang and was more capable than the Goddess of Golden Light.
Therefore, when Li Changshou chose the topic, he said, "How's Senior Sister Golden Light doing recently?"
"I've already walked out." The Goddess of Fire Spirit pursed her lips. "Moreover, Aunt-Master Gongming and Aunt-Master Jin Ling … Aunt-Master Golden Light understands. She will naturally not think too much about it."
"Their personalities are not compatible. This is indeed an unsolvable problem."
Li Changshou shook his head and sighed. Seeing that the atmosphere was already lively, he asked directly, "Disciple-Nephew, did you suddenly come to look for me because Senior Brother Duobao has something to tell you?"
"This is not …"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit pursed her lips guiltily and glanced at the entrance of the hall.
She sent a voice transmission. "Uncle-Master, I'm here to seek help and to learn from you."
"Oh?"
Li Changshou looked puzzled. He smiled and said, "Are there any scriptures that you don't understand? I'm afraid I can't give you any pointers. "
"It's not about cultivation. Um …"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit was originally a straightforward person, but at that moment, she was a little hesitant. She stammered for a long time before expressing her intentions.
Just as Li Changshou had expected, it was because of the South Continent.
Previously, the Goddess of Fire Spirit and Wen Zhong, the two leaders of the third generation disciples of Jie School, had been sent to the South Continent to gather information about the change in the secular royal authority and find an opportunity to gain a foothold in the South Continent.
That was considered a positive response to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation of Jie School.
However, Huoling and Wen Zhong were both Qi Refinement Cultivators who were used to cultivating in the mountains. Even if they were talented and quick-witted, they would still be confused by the ceremony of the Three Ministers and Nine Ministers in the secular world.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit whispered,
"At this moment, I still don't understand how the Shang Nation uses people and how the Great Tribulation works.
Master had deduced that the Great Tribulation corresponded to the change of the royal authority of the mortals in the South Continent. In other words, a new king would rise and the old king would retreat. However, the Shang Nation was like the sun in the sky now. Apart from the gathering of merchants, there were a total of 800 vassal states!
Who could say for sure who would replace the Shang Nation?
Moreover, the Shang Nation is so powerful. How can there be any signs of decline? Is the change in the royal authority the destruction of the dynasty, or is it a rebellion like the Sea Clan of the Four Seas?
I'm really confused. "
"Hahahaha!"
Li Changshou clapped and laughed. The Goddess of Fire Spirit raised her hand and tidied the hair beside her ear. She was a little embarrassed and blushed.
"Uncle-Master, don't tease me …"
"Ahem, it's really difficult for you, an ancient Qi Refinement cultivator who rarely enters the mortal world, to think about such matters."
Li Changshou smiled and said, "I more or less understand the system of the Shang Nation. However, it's difficult for me to explain it to you in a short time.
Let me ask you, do you want to think about which country will rise in the future, or do you want to know how to establish yourself in the Shang Nation? "
The Goddess of Fire Spirit smiled and said, "I want to understand all of that. It would be great if you can give me some guidance, Uncle-Master."
"The heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
Li Changshou said slowly, "If you want to know more about this, I can tell you in detail.
However, before that, you have to figure out what's the point of you gaining a foothold in the Shang Nation? "
"Isn't this similar to the Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent interfering in the mortal world of the South Continent?"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit said seriously, "I want to have a certain amount of influence in the Shang Nation first. It's best if I can interfere with the human emperor's judgment that is related to the Great Tribulation and beneficial to Jie School when I need to.
Only by grasping the changes in the situation and figuring out the direction of the Great Tribulation can I obtain a chance of survival in the Great Tribulation. "
Li Changshou hummed softly and smiled.
"Your way of thinking is quite smart.
However, if others hear about how to affect the current human emperor in the Celestial Court, it will be a huge crime to provoke the Celestial Court. "
The Goddess of Fire Spirit hurriedly said, "I just want to help Jie School survive the Great Tribulation. I definitely have no intention of controlling the human emperor!"
Li Changshou waved his hand and gestured for her not to be nervous. Then, he sat there and fell silent.
He was thinking about how to mention the matter of Jie School and how many factors were pushed by the Heavenly Dao.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit was really daring to ask him, the invigilator, to give an answer.
If that was the case, he could make some arrangements.
"Fire Spirit, this matter is not small. If I give you guidance alone, others will say that I'm biased.
In that case, I'll make an arrangement.
Three days later, I will descend to the mortal world and introduce a series of questions about the mortal world to two third-generation disciples of Chan School and Jie School in detail.
Even if I want to play chess, I have to set the rules in advance.
Moreover, there should be a huge matter to be announced later. I need to go to the Jade Emperor to confirm it. "
The Goddess of Fire Spirit hesitated and asked softly, "Uncle-Master Changgeng, are we going to bring the disciples of Chan School along?"
"Of course." Li Changshou smiled and said, "Fairness and justice are the Celestial Court's unwavering pursuit."
The Goddess of Fire Spirit wanted to say something but hesitated. She felt that not only did she not obtain any benefits from this Uncle-Master during her trip to the Celestial Court, to a certain extent, she had even helped Chan School …
Forget it. It would be much better than me and Junior Brother Wen Zhong wandering around like headless flies.
What was there to be afraid of when they had the same starting point as Chan School?
They could just fight.
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master!"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit stood up and bowed. "Then I'll go to the mortal world to wait."
"Okay."
Li Changshou said warmly, "Three days later, at noon, I will naturally appear in the Shang Nation. At that time, I will bring one or two good friends and the ancestors of the Shang Nation.
However, I will only introduce the situation of the mortal world to you. I will not give you any hints or pointers. "
"Yes, I understand!"
The Goddess of Fire Spirit agreed and bade farewell to Li Changshou.
Li Changshou also reminded her not to forget to report this matter to the Jade Void Palace. After all, this matter concerned the fate of the sect. No matter how small it was, she could not make a decision easily.
The Goddess of Fire Spirit agreed with a solemn expression. She felt a little more expectant and hurriedly bade farewell and left the Immortal Welcome Hall.
Li Changshou did not delay much. He rushed to the Lingxiao Hall and reported the matter to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor naturally had no objections.
Letting Chan School and Jie School understand the structure of mortal power would also help reduce the casualties of mortals.
Previously, the Jade Emperor had gone to the Purple Cloud Palace to visit the Dao Ancestor and invited the Dao Ancestor's decree to protect the innocent living beings in the Great Tribulation.
The Dao Ancestor's decree was in the Hall of Enlightenment. As long as the time was ripe, it could be issued at any time.
"Changgeng, do you think this is the right time?"
"It's not appropriate to make a big fuss this time. It's equivalent to giving Jie School and Chan School a message in advance." Li Changshou pondered for a while. "This decree should have the best effect if it is issued on the eve of the killing tribulation."
"Then I'll listen to you, Minister Changgeng." The Jade Emperor agreed with a smile and asked Li Changshou in detail about the "lecture".
Marshal Quan Dong might be late, but he would never be absent.
Hence, three days later.
Li Changshou's paper effigy appeared near the South-Heaven Gate. He rode a white cloud and landed in the mortal world with several figures.
Standing beside him was naturally the Jade Emperor's incarnation and Marshal Quan Dong. Behind him were Long Ji and Youqin Genya. The group restrained their auras and slowly landed in the Shang Nation.
Li Changshou deliberately revealed a wisp of his aura. Soon, he received a response. Several streams of light flew up from two corners outside the city and turned into two men and two women.
The people from Jie School were naturally the Fire Spirit and Wen Zhong.
The people from Chan School were Yang Jian, who was dressed in casual clothes, and a female immortal from the Jade Void Palace, who was not important to Chan School.
The two of them came from two different directions. When they met, they immediately bowed to Li Changshou and addressed him as Uncle-Master.
Li Changshou answered with a smile and took the initiative to introduce Marshal Quan Dong, the "senior expert of the Primordial Order", and Youqin Genya, the founder of the Shang Nation, to them.
Quan Dong had seen many big scenes. He only smiled and nodded, allowing Li Changshou to tease him.
However, Youqin Genya …
She seemed to be a little nervous. After Li Changshou introduced her relationship with the Shang Nation's royal family, she took the initiative to explain,
"I entered the Immortal Sect of Ren School to cultivate when I was young. The ancestor of the Shang Nation is only my nephew."
Seven to eight pairs of eyes gathered and waited for Youqin Genya to continue.
Youqin Genya nodded seriously and walked back behind Li Changshou. She did not say anything else.
Li Changshou could roughly understand the poisonous brain circuits. What she meant just now was actually …
I have never married anyone before.
"Let's go."
Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk. "Let's transform into mortals and walk around the city.
I will explain the system and official positions of the mortal dynasty in detail to you. You can also report everything you have heard today to your senior brothers and sisters.
Speaking of the Shang Nation's system, we have to start from the rise of the ancient human race … "
…
At the same time, in a remote wine house in the city.
"Ah."
In the private room on the top floor, a young swordsman sighed softly and drank all the wine in his cup. Then, he looked out of the window in a daze.
An immortal has become like this in the mortal world. Seriously!
Li Jing sighed again. He looked at the sword standing by the table and thought about everything that had happened. For a moment, he felt depressed.
After he went down the mountain from the Duxian Gate to wander, he first returned to Chentang Pass and expelled, sealed, and killed the demon kings outside Chentang Pass. He then observed mourning in front of his parents' graves for three years.
Li Jing thought about Lord Taibai Jinxing's reminder and thought about the method of "immortal cultivators returning to their hometown" and "becoming stronger to protect their hometown". He did chivalry and punished evil near Chentang Pass.
Originally, he was considered carefree. He was famous in a radius of thousands of kilometers around Chentang Pass. Before he went down the mountain, he had heard the elders in the sect mention the opportunity.
Then …
He really encountered it.
It was a rainy afternoon. Li Jing stood quietly on the treetop of the bamboo forest. He hid his figure and waited for a group of bandits to appear and commit murder.
Just like that, the female general rode her horse, valiantly galloping past the edge of his line of sight.
At first, Li Jing did not care about that matter. He only felt that the young girl's facial features were rather beautiful.
Ever since then, his Dao heart inexplicably began to think of that young girl.
When Li Jing returned to his senses, he realized that his Dao heart had been affected.
He was deeply in love.
Who is she? Is she a female general stationed at the border, or does she just like that attire?
For more than half a year, Li Jing had been searching in the vast sea of people. Every time, he seemed to have found some clues, but the clues would always be mysteriously cut off.
Until yesterday, when he arrived at the capital of the Shang Nation, the most prosperous place in the world, he silently thought.
If he could not find the beautiful lady here, he would sever his memories and return to the mountain to cultivate for a hundred years before coming to the mortal world to roam.
"Ah, let's look again."
Li Jing looked out of the window again. In fact, he slowly extended his immortal senses and searched every corner of the city. He did not let go of any possible figures and tried his best to find his marriage!
"Lord Taibai Jinxing?!"
Li Jing shuddered and his drunkenness instantly dissipated.
Flames of hope burned in his eyes. He threw down a few coins that were commonly used in the Shang Nation and turned into a stream of light that charged towards the west city gate!
The instructions of the elder of the Duxian Gate were still in his ears. This time, he wanted to show Lord Taibai Jinxing the essence that he had comprehended through the manuals left behind by Lord Taibai Jinxing!
"Father"!
