Southern Immortal Emperor Residence.
Different from other Immortal Emperor Residences, the South Emperor Residence was not a big house. It was very grand. Instead, it was a small bridge with flowing water and a deep courtyard. Birds chirped softly, and green radishes climbed all over the walls.
Perhaps this was more suitable for the personality of the southern immortals. They were more easygoing, but from another perspective, the southern immortals were more shrewd, had more tricks up their sleeves, and were good at business.
All these years that the South Emperor was in seclusion, the South Emperor territory was managed by the South Emperor Princess, Fairy Zhining. It was orderly and well-organized.
At this moment, in a quiet courtyard, Fairy Zhining was dressed in a tight outfit. She was drinking tea while looking at the jade slip in her hand. There was a large pile of jade slips on the table, divided into left and right. The ones on the left were seen, and the ones on the right were not.
This was handling official business.
Actually, the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal World was very different from the Emperor of the mortal world. In comparison, the Immortal Emperor was much more leisurely. First of all, things like floods, droughts, and famines were relatively rare. Any immortal in the Immortal World could easily solve these problems. Moreover, every planet had an immortal general stationed by the Immortal Emperor Residence. They could solve the problems locally without reporting to the Immortal Emperor Residence.
Secondly, the Immortal Emperor did not care about any unjust cases, corruption, or evil committed by corrupt officials. No one cared about killing people, robbing women, and so on. Even if they died, they died in vain. Who asked them to be weaker than others?
As for the imperial examinations, court appearances, diplomacy, education, and so on, they did not matter to the Immortal Emperor. Therefore, the Immortal Emperor was very leisurely. Although they were in charge of thousands of planets, they might not even have one official business every month.
Of course, it wasn't like they had nothing to do. For example, why was there a lack of tributes from a certain planet? For example, the Immortal Emperor was about to celebrate his birthday. These times were a little busy. Another example was when something bigger happened. For example, the last time the West Emperor restricted the sale of salt, causing many planets in the South Emperor territory to have no salt to eat. This would only alarm the Immortal Emperor Residence.
Therefore, the jade slips that Fairy Zhining looked at contained very little official business. Most of them were information.
Recently, there was more information. Fairy Zhining often looked at them. She would take a sip of tea and frown as she pondered.
Behind her, a dark-skinned maid didn't dare to disturb her. She only poured another cup for her when her teacup was about to run dry.
Fairy Zhining looked at the black hand that came to take the teacup. She thought of something and retracted her thoughts. She said, "Cai Xin, let me tell you a piece of good news. Ye Kong has already been conferred the Prison Code of Iron Prison Mountain by the Divine Master."
This maid was precisely the little girl Cai Xin. She asked, "What rank is the Iron Prison Mountain's Prison Code?"
Fairy Zhining smiled and said, "The Iron Prison Mountain Prison Code doesn't care about rank … In terms of position, it should only be higher than the Immortal Emperor."
Cai Xin exclaimed: "Bigger than an Immortal Emperor? Really? "
Fairy Zhining said, "That's right. Although his territory can't be compared to the Immortal Emperor's, he can capture the Immortal Emperor and throw him into the Great Prison, but the Immortal Emperor can't capture him. He can be said to be a character who can do whatever he wants in the Immortal World. "
Cai Xin was overjoyed: "Then he can directly capture all the immortal emperors chasing him."
Fairy Zhining shook her head. "Logically, he can, but Ye Kong is too weak after all, and he has few immortal soldiers under him. It's impossible for him to capture an Immortal Emperor."
Cai Xin said again, "Then capture our White Hair Region's Di Dongliang. He's also a salt bandit leader who does all kinds of evil!"
Fairy Zhining smiled bitterly. "With Ye Kong's current ability, Di Dongliang can't be captured either."
Cai Xin said gloomily, "He can't capture this, and he can't capture that. What's the point of being an official?"
"I think it'll be good enough if he can first deal with those old foxes in the Iron Prison Mountain." Fairy Zhining laughed and said, "Cai Xin, get ready. Come with me to the Iron Prison Mountain tomorrow. Ye Zhen Hao's Minor Immortal Tribulation happens to invite me. You can also see the Mister Ye that you've been thinking about day and night. "
Cai Xin blushed and shook her head. "I'd better not go."
Fairy Zhining said, "You haven't used the Moonlight Lake water that you brought back last time. You said that you're afraid that Mister Ye won't recognize you if you clean up his name. Why don't you go now that you have the chance? "
Cai Xin said, "Although Mister Ye is in a high position now, he's in danger. He's troubled both internally and externally. I can't disturb him at this time."
Beimang Star.
Ye Kong wasn't in a hurry to go to the Iron Prison Mountain, but North Thearch came. North Thearch said, 'Are you stupid? That Ye Zhen Hao's Minor Immortal Tribulation will definitely be attended by all the important people in the immortal world. It's the perfect time for you, the new Prison Warden, to step forward. Why are you still dragging it? Hurry up and come with me!'
Thus, Ye Kong, Kuang Peng, and Wu Yong followed North Thearch and went to the Iron Prison Mountain together.
Beimang Star was the planet closest to the Iron Prison Mountain. In less than ten days, the Iron Prison Mountain was already within sight.
This was Ye Kong's second time here, but it was obviously different from the last time.
In the sky above the Iron Prison Mountain, a green mist that was several hundred acres in size appeared. The color of the green mist became darker the closer it was to the center, and the color became lighter the closer it was to the edge. It turned white, faded, and finally disappeared.
It was completely different from the Tribulation Clouds in the Lower Domain. The Tribulation Clouds in the Lower Domain were black clouds with thunder and lightning. Although it was huge, it was irregular. But the Tribulation Clouds in the Immortal World were very special. They were round in a regular pattern, like an incomparably huge green dumpling skin spread out in the sky. It was spectacular and beautiful. It didn't feel dangerous at all.
In fact, the Tribulation Clouds in the Immortal World were very safe.
North Thearch said, "The Tribulation Clouds in the Lower Domain are because the cultivators' cultivation is considered to be going against the heavens and changing their fate. Therefore, the Tribulation Clouds have the meaning of heaven's punishment. That's why it is so dangerous. It can be easily destroyed, and thousands of years of cultivation will be destroyed in a day … but the rules in the Immortal World are different. The Immortal World encourages immortals to cultivate. Therefore, the Tribulation Clouds don't have any element of punishment. It's mainly a test. The Minor Immortal Tribulation is to test whether an immortal has reached the level of an Immortal Lord. "
This was also Kuang Peng's first time hearing about this. Back then, he had a narrow escape from the Heavenly Tribulation. He didn't expect the Tribulation Clouds to be so easy.
He asked, "Then the Immortal Tribulation isn't dangerous? That's too easy. Anyone can pass it. "
The North Thearch shook his head. "It's not that there's no danger. It's just that there's no danger to one's life. However, there's the danger of not being able to pass the Immortal Tribulation! "When the North Thearch saw the confusion on everyone's face, he continued to explain," There's no Tribulation Lightning in the Minor Immortal Tribulation, but there are three waves of attacks. The first wave is an attack on Celestial Consciousness, the second wave is a bombardment of Celestial Light, and the third wave is an attack on Celestial Consciousness and Celestial Origin. Everyone knows that Celestial Consciousness and Celestial Origin are the foundation of our cultivation. If we're defeated in the first wave, we'll drop a level. If we're defeated in the second wave, we'll drop two levels. If we're defeated in the third wave, it's hard to say what will happen to us. There was once a Celestial who went from a high-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to a high-grade Golden Celestial. He lost six levels in one go. "
Ye Kong and the others were shocked when they heard this. Although the Celestial Tribulation would not kill them, the punishment was not small. When one became an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, one would have to cultivate for hundreds or even thousands of years to break through each level. Losing one level meant losing many years of cultivation.
Wu Yong said, "That Celestial is really unlucky. If it were me, I wouldn't want to fall from a high-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to a Golden Celestial. I'd just eat and drink. Who knows, I might cultivate to a high-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial and overcome the Heavenly Tribulation again …"
The North Emperor shook his head. "You're wrong. Since we've embarked on the path of Immortals, we shouldn't think about eating and drinking. Think about how many enemies you've made on your way to becoming an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Now that you've fallen, how many people would want to kill you and steal your treasures? How can you not work hard? If you don't work hard, you'll die! The path of Immortals is about climbing higher and higher. You can't relax. If you can't overcome it, you'll overcome it again! If your cultivation base is gone, you'll cultivate again! As long as you don't give up, you can start over. "
Wu Yong's face flushed when he heard this.
The North Emperor smiled and said, "Actually, all of you know the unlucky Celestial I mentioned earlier."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kong and the others asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Kuang Peng and Wu Yong were also thinking about it. Who was it that had fallen from a high-grade Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to a high-grade Golden Celestial? Could it be the North Emperor himself?
"It's Granny Yao," the North Emperor said.
"That's right!" The three of them thought of everyone except for Granny Yao.
The North Emperor sighed and said, "Senior Yao is a role model for our generation. She underwent the Minor Celestial Tribulation three times. The first time, her cultivation base fell by two levels. After thousands of years, she underwent the second tribulation and fell to a high-grade Golden Celestial … We thought she was done for and would be depressed. However, who knew she would start cultivating again the next day? She finally passed the Minor Celestial Tribulation for the third time. "
Speaking of Senior Yao, Ye Kong and the others could not help but guess, "Your Majesty, is Senior Yao a Heavenly God from the Upper Realm? Why can't we see through her cultivation base but feel that she's very powerful?"
The North Emperor did not want to say more. He waved his hand and said, "When she wants to say it, she'll say it herself. Or you can ask her yourself. I don't dare to talk about her behind her back. Anyway, she's unlucky. You'll know one day."
As they spoke, the convoy entered the territory of the Iron Prison Mountain.
Immediately, a prison guard riding a strange beast came over and bowed. "May I know which Celestial Emperor it is? Welcome. Please show me the film so I can go in and report. "
Actually, who in the Celestial World did not know that the North Emperor had arrived when they saw the carriage pulled by nine colorful phoenixes? However, it was necessary to ask about it to show respect. As for showing the film, it was equivalent to showing the invitation. Of course, at the North Emperor's level, he could enter without an invitation.
The key problem was that when these people threw out the film, they would also hand over a Celestial Jade Box.
However, this time, the North Emperor was stingy. He said to Ye Kong, "Lord Prison Code, it's up to you now."
The North Thearch's intention was very clear. He wanted Ye Kong to act like a new official who had just assumed office. He wanted to show off his might at the gates of the Iron Prison Mountain, find fault, punish some people, and intimidate the prison guards. This way, no one would dare to make things difficult for Ye Kong.
However, Ye Kong thought about it and did not do so. After all, he was only a high-grade Great Firmament Golden Immortal now. If he showed off his authority when he just took office, it would inevitably give people the feeling that he was a villain who was intoxicated with success. Of course, Ye was a villain, but he did not want to show it.
Ye Kong smiled and took out a blank jade slip. On it was a row of words: "Iron Prison Mountain, Ye Kong." Following that, he asked Wu Yong to send this jade slip and a Celestial Jade Box out.
When the North Emperor saw it, he nodded secretly. Even though this Ye Kong looked like a hot-blooded and impulsive person, he had many tricks up his sleeves. This test was done very smoothly.
The prison guard outside received the jade slip and the Celestial Jade Box. He was very happy. So what if you are an Immortal Emperor? You still have to bribe an immortal soldier guarding the gate of the Iron Prison Mountain.
However, when he saw the row of words on the jade slip, he immediately hesitated. Ye Kong was going to be the Prison Code of the Iron Prison Mountain. In the future, he would be the leader here. If he took his money, wouldn't he be looking for trouble for himself?
However, he immediately remembered that a few of the Vice Prison Code had said to ignore this high-grade Great Firmament Golden Immortal, to make him a mere figurehead, and to chase him away … he instantly became contemptuous and secretly kept the Celestial Jade Box.
Behind the curtain, Ye Kong knew what was going on. He snorted coldly. "It seems that many people do not welcome me this time."
