Within the spatial turbulence.
The massive All Saints Hall was there, displaying the majesty of a heavenly palace.
Hong Yi stood in the hall and looked down at the astral wind layer. Suddenly, the qilin turned into a ray of red light and flew in. Its four hooves stopped in the hall and it panted heavily, as if it was exhausted to the extreme.
"Hong Yi, I was really worried this time. That Qian Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji are getting more and more powerful. The aura on their bodies terrifies me. I was really afraid that they would stop me just now. "
The qilin breathed in the sacred aura of the hall for a while and recovered its strength.
"They have the ability, but they don't have the guts. You are an auspicious sacred beast, a symbol created by the sages for thousands of years. Moreover, you said that he is inferior to the ancient Sacred Emperor. This is also the truth. If they were to stop you out of anger, what face would they have in the future? What prestige would they have? "
Hong Yi said solemnly.
Hong Yi knew that today's' Meridian Gate Offering 'was a big test that Qian Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Xuanji had given him. However, Hong Yi naturally had a brilliant plan. He had the qilin appear and show auspiciousness. At the same time, he had used the qilin's mouth to say that Qian Emperor Yang Pan's empire was inferior to the ancient empire. This would destroy the prestige of the Da Qian Imperial Family.
One had to know that if Hong Yi presented the captives in a dignified manner and kowtowed to the Qian Emperor, then the entire prestige of the Da Qian Imperial Family would be established. It would be able to catch up to the ancient empire and intimidate countless wavering people.
Even if Hong Yi didn't go and his prestige was weakened, it would still be the same if even the 'secondary saint' submitted to the empire.
With this, Hong Yi resigned and put on the tough bones of a scholar. He looked down on the nobles and laughed at the officials. He didn't seek fame or fortune, and he would retire after achieving success. His strength of character, which was like a cool breeze and floating clouds, could also win the favor of many people in the Confucian Community.
However, if he were to resign just like that, the impact would be too small. By sending Qilin to speak, it would increase Hong Yi's impact even more.
It was easy to imagine that in the history books, Hong Yi would be recorded as one hundred sages fighting together, destroying the Western Regions, offering prisoners of war at the Meridian Gate, the Qilin's speech, his retreat after his success, his adherence to etiquette, not allowing his brothers to kneel, not allowing his father to salute, all of this without any blemish.
His image was completely open and aboveboard, not giving people any reason to attack him.
…
"Hong Yi, you're resigning now. If I'm not in the central organization of the Imperial Court, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to participate in some matters in the future, "said the Qilin.
"That's not a big deal. Even if I'm not in the imperial court, I can still participate in the court's affairs. My influence is now at its peak. When the time comes, I can write books to nurture scholars and discuss the court's affairs. It will also be a great force." Hong Yi pondered for a moment and said, "If I continue to be an official in the royal court, I'm afraid that there will be some problems facing Hong Xuanji and Yang Pan every day. Even if I don't become an official, my title as a Second Sage is also an uncrowned king. Moreover, once I retire, Qian Emperor Yang Pan will definitely reward me! He'll even bestow land, manors, and build an academy for me. Otherwise, I'll have the reputation of not being rewarded for meritorious deeds. "
"Then you'll build an academy now and invite the great scholars of the world to write books and continue to increase your influence? Then, you'll pass the lightning tribulation and become a master of creation? "said the Qilin.
"That's right. Now, the most important mission is to first establish the Book of Changes as the source of the world's righteous path. Once I have a righteous title, things will be easy. Secondly, I'll become a master of creation. I'll need to accumulate at least eight lightning tribulations to be able to pass seven without a period of weakness. Once I have a righteous title and become a master of creation, everything will be easy. "
Righteousness, strength, none of them could be lacking.
With righteousness but no strength, one would be at the mercy of others and be hot-blooded.
With strength but no righteousness, one would be a devil.
With both, one would be a saint.
…
"Hong Yi, I just felt that there were a few extremely domineering auras hiding and lying dormant in the entire Jade Capital. They're even in the palace. It's not Hong Xuanji or Yang Pan, but their strength is definitely not below theirs, "said the Qilin.
"Needless to say, I also felt it." Hong Yi said, "This might be some external help from the Da Qian royal family. After all, the Da Qian is now doing a census, measuring the land, and starting to clean up the world. The palace is an important place, of course, the first to be cleaned up. If they can't even reform themselves, how can they reform others?"
"However, I still have to explore the palace tonight and look for Consort Yuan. After all, Hakuziyue is in seclusion now, and it's no longer suitable for her to stay in the palace alone. I have to get her out … "Hong Yi fell silent for a while, and his thoughts flickered," Moreover, I also want to know what kind of experts Yang Pan has invited. He always has endless means. If I don't get to the bottom of it, I'll have some doubts. "
…
At night.
The entire Jade Capital, which had been in an uproar for a day, finally quieted down. The officials, low-ranking officials, and soldiers had been busy for a few months. Now, they could finally get a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, the nobles, aristocratic families' disciples, princes, dukes, and ministers were all discussing the day's events in their secret residences.
Many messages, pigeons, eagles, and even flying swords, paper cranes, and other unknown means also flew to all parts of the country at night, reporting all the movements and information in the Jade Capital today.
All the information mentioned a name, and that was Hong Yi.
Without a doubt, the main character of the grand ceremony of presenting the captives at the Meridian Gate was not the captives, nor was it the Da Qian Dynasty. Instead, it was Hong Yi, who had not made an appearance.
Hong Yi's reputation once again spread throughout the world, one wave after another.
However, Hong Yi did not care about this. At night, he broke through the void and arrived outside the palace, looking for Consort Yuan once again. This time, he wanted to bring Consort Yuan out of the palace completely to prevent her from falling into danger due to the increasingly complicated situation.
Consort Yuan was one of the eight great demon immortals in the world. She had cultivated to become a ghost immortal, received many benefits from Hong Yi, and even obtained the Ice Soul Sutra and Ice Soul Pearl. Her abilities had improved by leaps and bounds. However, these abilities were still not enough in the face of the great changes in the Vast Thousand World.
The tall palace stood on the central axis of the Meridian Gate in the Jade Capital.
It was already late at night. The time for lights out had long passed, so it was pitch-black. It was currently the third watch period.
As the saying went, "The third watch period is a ghost, and the fourth watch period is a thief." The third watch period was the darkest hour of the night when the Yin Qi was the heaviest.
The huge Imperial Palace was like a ghost city in hell, standing tall and silent.
Hong Yi had snuck into the palace many times and was almost familiar with the terrain. However, he had never felt that the palace was so strange, gloomy, and unfathomable.
However, those who were skilled were bold. With Hong Yi's current Dao techniques, even in the ancient and archaic times, he would be considered a top figure. Naturally, he would not care about this little mysterious and deep atmosphere. His body flashed, and he broke through the void and entered the "Heavenly Fragrance Residence" where Consort Yuan lived.
"Heavenly Fragrance Residence" had not changed at all. When Hong Yi broke through the void and came out, he seemed to smell a faint fragrance and the figures of a few eunuchs serving outside.
However, these eunuchs were not the ones who came before. They seemed to have changed. All of them were agile and their movements were smooth. They were all Innate Experts!
The maids sat in the corridor outside, waiting for their master's call. Their faces were calm, and their breaths were deep and white. They were full of energy. They were also Innate Experts.
In short, the servants in the entire palace seemed to have entered the Innate Realm. It was as if the experts were free.
Innate Experts were as common as dogs, and Grandmasters were everywhere.
More importantly, these people had great teamwork, as if they had trained for a long time. There was not the slightest bit of stiffness, and they had a strong sense of unity and coordination. They were comparable to the elite soldiers of the army.
It turned out that when Hong Yi entered the palace, the eunuchs were chatting as they patrolled, each with their own emotions. Now, they did what they had to do, and did not speak much. They were silent.
However, Hong Yi did not care about this. He stepped into a room in the Heavenly Fragrance Residence.
He immediately saw a person sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for him quietly. It was not Consort Yuan.
Consort Yuan was no longer in the Heavenly Fragrance Residence, and the person sitting in the living room was Qian Emperor Yang Pan. At this time, he was not wearing a dragon robe, but a brocade robe. His hand gripped the armrest of his chair, and he did not seem moved when he saw Hong Yi break through the void and come in. It was as if he had already expected this.
"Hong Yi, I guessed correctly. You will definitely come to find Consort Yuan tonight."
Qian Emperor Yang Pan saw Hong Yi and stood up from the chair.
"Your Majesty controls the infinite changes of the future, it is not surprising that you can guess this. When Your Majesty's Immortal Primordial Spirit deceived Emperor Nalan's spiritual sense and directly captured him, I deeply experienced the power of deceiving the future."
Seeing Qian Emperor Yang Pan's calm appearance, Hong Yi did not move and did not panic at all.
This was the first time he had met Qian Emperor Yang Pan alone. Apart from that, it was all in the court, in the examination of the Zhuangyuan examination, which was equivalent to acting, putting on airs, far from the two of them talking face to face like this.
"Do you want to see Consort Yuan? Come to the Qian Gang Hall, I will wait for you there. "
Qian Emperor Yang Pan said, and his body stepped into the void, but the void did not close, leaving a passage.
Hong Yi did not say anything and stepped in, and then the two came to the center of the palace, the Qian Gang Hall.
Qian Gang Hall, Qian Gang Hall. This was the hall where the Emperor met with the civil and military officials. High up in the hall, there was a dragon throne that displayed the supreme authority.
At this time, at night, there were only two people in the entire Qian Gang Hall, Qian Emperor Yang Pan and Hong Yi.
"Hong Yi, look at this dragon throne, after sitting on it, you will be the universe, the number one person in the Vast Thousand World. In this world, there is no one above you. I will let you sit on it, what do you think? "
When Hong Yi stepped into the hall, Qian Emperor Yang Pan pointed to the dragon throne and said indifferently.
