"Then I won't stand on ceremony with Big Brother."
Shen Herong immediately reached out and took the branch out of the ball of light.
Zhang Dongyun didn't stop her and dispersed the ball of light.
However, Shen Herong's next action made him not know whether to laugh or cry.
He saw the 12 or 13 year old girl reach out and pluck a few leaves from the branch.
Great, now it's symmetrical …
"I have an entire Empty Court Tree. After you refine this branch, come find me," Zhang Dongyun came back to his senses and instructed.
Shen Herong nodded. "Thank you, Big Brother."
"For the education matter, ask Cao Ranran, Yuan Zhe, Chu Xin, and Zhao Shu from the Central Plains to follow you."
Zhang Dongyun continued, "Give them a chance to learn from you. It's also a reward."
"Of course," Shen Herong agreed and then waved goodbye to Zhang Dongyun.
Zhang Dongyun smiled.
Cao Ranran, Yuan Zhe, and the others aside, Chu Xin and Zhao Shu from the Central Plains were both realm 13 and 12 Confucian Grandmasters. They were very knowledgeable and famous.
Other than the Sacred Evolution Mansion, no one on the Confucian side could make them lower their heads.
However, Shen Herong was different.
Even if she hadn't recovered to her peak level, she could still guide Chu Xin, Zhao Shu, and the others.
During the expansion of Chang 'an City, whether it was Cao Ranran and Yuan Zhe from the Eastern Plains or Chu Xin and Zhao Shu from the Central Plains, they had all contributed a lot.
Now that the world was unified, it was time to reward them.
Zhang Dongyun naturally still had the branch of the Empty Court Tree, but there was no need to rush now. He could save it for next time.
Now, letting them follow Shen Herong to educate the world and receive guidance from Shen Herong in the process was already very beneficial.
Shen Herong was not one to hide anything. Just a few words from her could be a great help to Chu Xin and the others.
Following this, Shen Herong would be in charge of the cultural literacy mission in Invincible City. He would also need several layers of subordinates to carry out the mission.
From Chu Xin of the Confucian School to Cao Ranran, Yuan Zhe, and the others who had just entered the Grandmaster realm, they were spread out from top to bottom.
Since they were in charge of the matter, Zhang Dongyun did not think too much about it and continued to deal with other matters on his side.
After Shen Herong left, two other people appeared in the Daming Palace.
One was an old man in blood-red clothes, and the other was a middle-aged man in black.
They were none other than Blood Shadow and Long Te, a big shot of the Demonic Path in the Central Plains.
Under Zhang Dongyun's guidance, Long Te relied on his own cultivation and successfully broke through to the thirteenth realm, refining the Evil Shadow.
Among the current Devil Dao cultivators in the Central Plains, his strength was second only to Ao Kong's.
Even if he was thrown into the Southern Wasteland where demons ran rampant, he could still fight for a place for himself.
Now that he was in the Daming Palace, his aura was naturally restrained, but as long as he stood there, his deterrence was invisible.
Those whose cultivation realms were lower than his, especially those who also cultivated the Devil Dao, were especially affected by this.
However, Blood Shadow was now standing beside Long Te, whose cultivation realm was far higher than his. His expression was calm and unperturbed, without any fluctuations.
During this period, the Old Devil had been cultivating in seclusion non-stop. Recently, he had come out of seclusion and finally cultivated the Devil Dao True Body.
Of course, his cultivation at the tenth level was undoubtedly much lower than Long Te who was beside him.
Now that Chang 'an was rapidly expanding and changing with each passing day, there were more and more experts in the city.
Mr. Blood Shadow, who used to be one of the Five Gentlemen in the city, seemed to be increasingly embarrassed.
However, as Chang 'an expanded, Mr. Blood Shadow's authority also became higher and higher. No one dared to offend him like the Purple Sun back then.
Old Demon Blood Shadow was actually well aware of this.
It was because Chang 'an was constantly expanding, so the City Lord's authority became more and more frightening, and no one dared to defy him.
And in everyone's eyes, Blood Shadow was the City Lord's personal attendant.
Everyone respected him because they respected the City Lord's authority and face.
Blood Shadow was very uneasy about this.
The old fox was afraid that he would embarrass the tiger.
Thus, Blood Shadow had been cultivating diligently and improving himself recently. How could he have the slightest thought of abusing others' authority?
As his cultivation deepened, the Old Devil's state of mind also became calmer and calmer.
Since His Majesty had bestowed him with such favor, he naturally wouldn't refuse. He just cultivated diligently and served His Majesty wholeheartedly.
Thunder, rain, and dew were all His Majesty's grace. If one day His Majesty wanted to take back his authority and strike him down to earth, he could accept it with peace of mind.
As a result, the Old Devil felt even more at ease.
Even though he was standing next to Long Te, his aura didn't weaken.
Long Te was similarly courteous to this Mister Bloodshadow.
The two of them entered the main hall of Daming Palace and then greeted Zhang Dongyun together. "Long live Your Majesty."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand. "Dispense with the formalities."
As he spoke, two balls of light, each wrapped in a Blue Sea Soul, floated in front of Long Te and Blood Shadow.
The two of them accepted it excitedly.
Long Te recognized at a glance that it was the Blue Sea Soul, the most precious cultivation treasure of the Devil Path. He couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Although he had just broken through to realm thirteen a few days ago, with this Blue Sea Soul, it wasn't impossible for him to break through to realm fourteen in the future.
After welcoming Chang 'an into Central Earth, Chang' an replaced the Zhao family of the Great Jing Dynasty.
In the end, the Long family couldn't be the same as before.
But after submitting to Chang 'an, Chang' an didn't treat them unfairly. After the fall of the Jing Dynasty, the Long family reappeared in the open and flourished on this land.
There was no lack of experts in their clan, and they were also the hidden local tyrants of the Jing Dynasty. They had countless connections in the dark, so they quickly established themselves in the eastern part of Central Earth.
It wasn't just the Zhao family; most of the other forces in the Jing Dynasty had also been cleaned up by Chang 'an.
The Long family could easily take root and fill in the gaps.
Thus, Long Te and the others were immediately satisfied and felt that their early submission to Chang 'an hadn't been in vain.
Now that he had received the Blue Sea Soul as a reward from Zhang Dongyun, he was even more excited and hurriedly thanked Zhang Dongyun.
On the other side, Blood Shadow took a deep breath, even more excited than Long Te.
His Majesty has never forgotten this old servant …
In the past, when the old devil lived in the Eastern Frontier, he wouldn't even recognize a precious treasure like the Blue Sea Soul.
But now in Chang 'an, he strictly required himself to improve in all aspects and not lose face for His Majesty.
In addition to cultivation strength, it also included various aspects of social interaction and knowledge.
Thus, while cultivating, the old devil had also crammed a lot of books on etiquette and knowledge.
Through the ancient books, he learned about the Blue Sea Soul.
At that time, he had yearned for it. If he could obtain the Blue Sea Soul, it would definitely be of great help to his cultivation.
Now, his dream had actually come true.
And it was a reward from His Majesty …
Blood Shadow's body couldn't help but tremble a little, but he controlled himself and tried his best to calm down, "This old servant thanks Your Majesty for your grace. This old servant is ashamed."
"Go and cultivate seriously." Zhang Dongyun casually waved his hand.
Blood Shadow and Long Te hurriedly thanked His Majesty and left.
After they left, the hall was quickly filled with other people.
Two men and one woman, all three of them were dressed up as Daoists.
Of the two men, one looked old while the other middle-aged, they were the sect master of Eastern Frontier's Fulong Sect, Venerable Hui Fang, and the sect master of Xuan Yi Sect, Meng Shen.
As for the woman, her cultivation was above the two of them. She was clearly at the thirteenth level of Daoist cultivation, which was the fourth level of Primordial Spirit, the Unity God Realm. She was the Elder of the Righteous Sect, Jin Xiaoxiao, whose Primordial Spirit was one with Heaven and Earth.
Zhang Dongyun's gaze swept across her and he nodded slightly, "Not bad, the Righteous Sect has another Unity God."
Jin Xiaoxiao was the person who came to Chang 'an on behalf of the Righteous Sect.
At that time, she was in the Twelfth Realm.
Now, she had improved further and successfully reached the Thirteenth Realm. She was on par with her own sect master, Venerable Cheng Yang, and Venerable Zi Zhang.
"This is all thanks to Chang 'an's guidance and His Majesty's concern." Jin Xiaoxiao heard this and quickly bowed towards Zhang Dongyun.
Previously, she was ordered by Chang 'an City to take over the work of Meng Shen and Chen Chaoyan. With Chang' an as the center, she set up array after array in all directions.
These magic arrays gradually gathered together and merged into one, forming a vast and boundless magic array with Chang 'an City as its center.
To the Twelfth Realm and other members of the Righteous Sect who had cultivated the Immortal Soul, such work was tedious and boring.
However, Jin Xiaoxiao and the others were serious and did their best to complete the work.
Their cultivation levels were higher and their efficiency was much faster than Meng Shen's.
During this process, the more Jin Xiaoxiao and the others set up the array according to the array diagram given by Chang 'an, the more they could understand the endless mysteries contained in the array diagram.
Although the work seemed tedious and boring, the Righteous Sect members enjoyed it and benefited a lot.
Jin Xiaoxiao was able to successfully break through to the Thirteenth Realm in such a short time because of this.
Other than her, the other members of the Righteous Sect also benefited more or less.
Therefore, Jin Xiaoxiao came to Chang 'an to seek an audience. Her heart was filled with gratitude.
"During Chang 'an's expedition to the Central Plains, the Righteous Sect contributed a lot. This is what you deserve."
Zhang Dongyun said indifferently, "Those who are loyal to Chang 'an and work hard for Chang' an, I will not mistreat them."
The first half of the sentence was said to Jin Xiaoxiao alone, while the second half included Venerable Hui Fang and Meng Shen.
Before he finished speaking, three balls of light landed in front of them.
When the three of them saw this, they were somewhat agitated.
Venerable Hui Fang and Meng Shen were still a little unsure. Jin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "… Yuan Tian Illusory Mist!"
The thing wrapped in the three balls of light was neither solid nor liquid. Instead, it was like a cloud of mist.
It seemed ethereal, but the mysteries contained within made the Daoist cultivators indulge in it.
After Zhang Dongyun bestowed the treasures, he waved his hand.
The three of them hurriedly bowed and thanked him, then left.
This reward was not only given to the three of them, but also to the Righteous Sect, Fulu Palace, and Xuan Yi Sect.
Other than the Righteous Sect, Zhang Dongyun also rewarded the other two sects for building ships and setting up arrays. This made Venerable Hui Fang and Meng Shen feel grateful.
After the three Daoists left, the next batch of people who came in was much larger.
Zhang Dongyun still just waved his hand casually.
Therefore, seven balls of light flew out.
