Mt. Tongxuan.
When Fang Xian came here again, the Taoists in the temple served him attentively. It was a completely different treatment from the last time.
"Immortal, the people from the imperial court are here!"
On this day, he was sipping tea in the garden when he saw Tong Hezi coming in and bowed to report.
"Oh!"
Fang Xian responded indifferently, showing no intention of getting up.
Tong Hezi smiled bitterly in his heart. Those were imperial envoys from the imperial court after all! Was this alright?
Needless to say, he had gradually figured out the immortal's character — indifferent, carefree … To him, the imperial court was not really important.
"I'll take my leave then. I'll go out and welcome them."
Tong Hezi bowed again and exited the garden to the outside of the temple.
Grand Arrester Ni brought a few disciples with him while Taoists Miao Yu and Bao Shi stood beside him. When they saw only Tong Hezi, their expressions changed. "Where's that person?"
"It's my honor to have the imperial envoys here. Please come in and have some tea!"
Tong Hezi cupped his fist and bowed.
"I'm here because of the medicine gold case in the residence. I heard that the Taoist is here, so why didn't you come out to welcome us?" Grand Arrester Ni scoffed.
To a powerhouse of the imperial court like him, an 'immortal' was merely a demon with some Taoist techniques.
The imperial court's Dragon Qi immediately turned him into dust.
Even if this demon's Taoist techniques were more powerful, could he go against the imperial court?
Taoist techniques were no match for the prestige of the imperial court, and the law did not apply to nobles. This had been proven countless times in the past thousand years without exception.
Tong Hezi looked awkward and did not know what to do.
Grand Arrester Ni sneered. "Forget it … I'll go meet this' immortal 'myself!"
He flicked his sleeve and strode into the temple.
Miao Yu and Bao Shi looked at each other and followed behind Tong Hezi.
Soon, they arrived at the garden.
Miao Yu and Bao Shi's eyes flickered as they stared at the young figure in a Taoist robe. They were shocked.
Although the other party looked extremely young, they could feel a sense of history and the passage of time.
What they didn't know was that although Fang Xian hadn't lived long in this world, in the world of immortals, he had lived for hundreds of years. His temperament was naturally different.
Now that they saw each other, they believed him. He was indeed an immortal who had survived from the previous dynasty.
"You are Fang Xian?"
Grand Detective Ni was not as observant, but he felt a chill in his heart. He was infuriated when he saw Fang Xian sitting casually.
Until now, he still thought that Fang Xian was just a powerful demon.
When encountering Dragon Qi, one would naturally have to reveal their true colors.
This kind of thing had happened many times in history.
Thus, he said coldly, "Why didn't you greet me when you saw me?"
"I'm an outsider, I walk at sunrise and rest at sunset. What does the Emperor qi do for me?" Fang Xian sighed.
The so-called authority, the so-called imperial decree, at the end of the day, was that someone had to listen to them.
If they were all disobedient, then the so-called authority was nothing much.
Grand Detective Ni's face flushed with anger. "How dare you! How dare you!"
Being outside the system and disobedient was only slightly better than rebelling. Basically, they were the ones who benefited from the system and had to be suppressed.
Grand Detective Ni took a deep breath and took out an item from his sleeve, then raised it high.
The item was three feet long and one foot wide. It was made of bright yellow silk cloth and a golden jade scroll. It was an imperial decree!
With the imperial decree, he was the real imperial envoy and could borrow the authority of the imperial court and the Dragon Qi!
"I'm here under the imperial decree and can mobilize everyone in Zhengyang Prefecture. Why aren't you kneeling and listening to the decree?"
Grand Detective Ni yelled.
Ordinary people were fine with the decree, but Taoists like Tong Hezi, Miao Yu, and Bao Shi felt a great authority and terror descending out of nowhere.
A faint dragon roar could be heard in the void. A seven-colored Qi gathered into the shape of a dragon and suppressed all techniques!
In other words, all techniques in the divine path!
The Taoists were immediately suppressed. Their magic and abilities were reduced by 90%, and they immediately knelt.
Grand Detective Ni was rather pleased when he saw this.
That was the authority of the imperial court!
In the current dynasty and the previous dynasty … It was not that there were no Taoists who caused trouble, but when the imperial court was strong, an imperial decree could suppress half of the opponent's magic and break all demonic techniques. Killing them was like killing a chicken.
Fang Xian was speechless when he looked at the person. He thought that he had seen an idiot.
He did not feel what Bao Shi and the rest felt at all.
"My tribulation power and the power of faith from incense are two completely different systems. There's no such thing as suppression. However, power is power after all …"
He looked at the Taoists who were kneeling on the ground and immediately understood.
"Incense is not Spirit Qi after all. It's not compatible with the body, so it can't be cultivated to a high level unless I abandon the body and become a deity? However, once I become a deity, it seems that because of the Heaven and Earth Isolation, I'm forced to isolate myself and can't interfere with the mortal world? Therefore, although the Taoist sects in this world found another way to cultivate with incense, the upper limit is really … low. Moreover, the nobles can't cultivate because the power of faith is too strong … "
When he thought about that, he could not help but admire the ancient Sacred King.
The Heaven and Earth Isolation directly laid the foundation for the imperial power to suppress everything in the future.
The other party was a king, the ancient Sacred King, who was also the emperor. His dragon Qi could suppress everything, which was naturally the most advantageous situation for him.
When he understood everything, he looked at Grand Detective Ni and sneered. "An imperial decree?"
Boom!
Bao Shi looked up and saw a black light that looked like an iron plow charging toward him.
With just one plow, the dragon shape was shattered, and the little dragon on the imperial decree wailed and disappeared. Bao Shi could not help but sweat profusely.
As for Grand Detective Ni and the rest, they felt as if their chests were hit by a hammer. Their faces were pale, and they fell to the ground.
At that moment, they no longer doubted and walked toward Fang Xian on their knees. "I'm Bao Shi. Please take me in as your disciple, please take me in!"
He did not care about the sect, the consequences, the disciples, the Taoist temple, or the impact.
That was the demeanor of a true cultivator!
For longevity, for the pursuit of Dao, everything could be abandoned.
"You're quite talented, but it's a pity that you're too old … Seeing that you're sincere in pursuing Dao, I'll take you in as an in-name disciple. Here's a Flesh Regeneration Pill. Although it's not as good as the Nine Revolution Jade Fluid Great Golden Pill, it can help you regain your youth and embark on the path of Dao!"
Fang Xian flipped his palm, and a flesh-colored pill appeared. He pressed it on Daoist Bao Shi's forehead.
This was actually a fake illusion, but he was secretly using the Flesh Assimilation Technique.
Daoist Bao Shi was initially middle-aged. At that moment, he felt his body burning. He touched his face and felt that his skin was firm and smooth. He could not help but say, "I … I …"
"This … This …"
When Miao Yu and Tong Hezi looked up, their eyes widened when they saw Daoist Bao Shi regaining his youth. "Regaining youth? Oh my god … "
