Chapter 435: Chapter 243: Ling Domain Gate Opens, Holder of Yu Ling Can Enter_1
In the palace of Zheng Country, Emperor Zheng led a group of royal powerhouses, accompanied by several significant ministers from Zheng Country, kneeling humbly on the ground. In front of them, two figures sat in chairs.
A man and a woman.
The man had a pale face adorned with a long beard, wore a purple robe, and carried an implicit intimidating aura.
The woman was a beautiful matron clothed in a light green dress. Her hair was done up in a bun, and she showed a light indifference, refraining from casual speech or laughter.
“With the Gate of Lingyu opening, inform the Inner Domain. Those holding a Yu Ling can enter Lingyu and proceed to the Spirit Sect and noble family to which the Yu Ling belongs. Zheng Country is responsible for escorting those who hold the Jade order to the respective powers to which they belong.”
The man gave his instructions in a flat tone.
“Understood!”
Emperor Zheng and the others were taken aback. According to the initial rules, it wasn’t yet time for the Gate of Lingyu to open and allow those holding Jade orders to enter the Ling domain.
Why was it pushed ahead?
Was it because the Gate of Lingyu had already opened?
Upon thinking of this possibility, Emperor Zheng broke into a cold sweat and knelt on the ground, “Reporting to the Transcendent Spirit Sect, the Gate of Lingyu has been opened, and the people from the Shui Xing Palace have entered the Inner Domain.”
The man glanced at him indifferently, “Just follow the rules. There’s no need to report!”
“Yes, Transcendent Spirit Sect!”
Emperor Zheng sighed in relief.
Following the set rules, the Spirit Sect and noble Martial Artists were allowed to open the Gate of Lingyu to enter the Inner Domain.
Emperor Zheng and others bowed out to start selecting hands to arrange for the opening of the Gate of Lingyu and to escort those holding Jade orders into Lingyu.
After nearly ten thousand years, the Gate of Lingyu was opening in its true sense again. The Martial Artists of the Inner Domain who held the Jade order were entering Lingyu, heading towards their respective forces. There was no room for negligence.
The responsibility of the royal family of Zheng Country was precisely this. If anything went wrong, Zheng Country would be finished.
Of course, as long as they fulfilled their duty, they would not be punished even if they were incapable of protecting the holders of the Jade order against any assaults.
The Transcendent Spirit Sect would naturally hold the assailants accountable.
However, if Zheng Country disregarded its duties and deliberately neglected matters, it would be a severe crime!
Generally, the important Jade order holders would have their respective forces escorting them. Zheng Country’s escort would not be needed.
However, the current situation was different, and whether there were any Jade order holders in the Inner Domain remained unknown.
“Yarong, I never thought that the Taomiu Mountain would send you here. How is your honored teacher?” the man asked the beautiful matron.
“King Qing, that’s kind of you. My teacher is very well!” Yarong responded in a plain tone.
King Qing, a formidable figure who ascended in the royal family of the Great Zhou State in recent decades. Despite his age of over a hundred years, he was an expert in the later stage of the Spiritual Energy Refining process.
His future ascension to the apex of Spiritual Energy Refining seemed beyond doubt.
Xiang Qing appeared accustomed to Yarong’s indifferent attitude and continued his inquiry, “Back when your honored teacher entered the Inner Domain and slaughtered the Blood Demon, did he eliminate the Blood Demon completely?”
“The Blood Demon is dead. My teacher personally laid it to rest.”
“The Blood Demon is cunning and has resurrected thrice. Despite your teacher’s unsurpassed strength and the weakened state of the Blood Demon, the relationship between your teacher and the Blood Demon is…” Xiang Qing mused aloud.
“Shut up!”
Yarong suddenly told him coldly.
Xiang Qing sighed and said, “You don’t need to be angry; you should know that my grandfather, the previous King Qing, was killed by the Blood Demon in the Inner Domain.
“My father was mediocre and failed to inherit the title of King Qing. It took me a lot of hardship to inherit the King Qing title. To me, the Blood Demon embodies deep hatred and great vengeance.
“Even though I trust your teacher, the cunning Blood Demon worries me the most. I fear your teacher’s soft heart.”
Yarong looked at him coldly and said, “My teacher has long forsaken feelings of love and hatred. By killing the Blood Demon, he severed worldly desires and mental obstruction, and broke free from fetters…”
Xiang Qing was startled, looking at Yarong and inhaling deeply, he asked, “Has your teacher already achieved that?”
Yarong turned her head away, ignoring him.
Inside the Gate of Lingyu, in the main hall, the two presiding members were shocked and hurriedly paid their respects, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Emperor Zheng had actually come in person.
Could it be that they had confirmed that the young man was the Blood Demon and the emperor had come to interrogate?
For a moment, the two presiding members were filled with trepidation.
“Open the Gate of Lingyu, notify the Inner Domain. Those with a Jade order can enter Lingyu for a duration of one month.”
Emperor Zheng commanded in a low voice.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The two presiding members breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, they were confused. Why was the opening of the Gate of Lingyu brought forward?
The Gate of Lingyu was opened, and this time it was not just a crack, but a complete opening.
At the same time, an old man following Emperor Zheng stepped through the Gate of Lingyu and entered the Inner Domain.
…
Boom!
In the northern wilderness, a radiance shone, and all the strong members of Tianbao Pavilion were instantly alarmed.
They all stood atop the mountain, gazing towards the location of the Gate of Lingyu.
“This is… the complete opening of the Gate of Lingyu?”
The man with the purple crown exclaimed in shock.
After a while, a giant portal shimmered and stood between heaven and earth.
Rich Spiritual Energy flowed from the large gate into the Inner Domain, making the Spiritual Energy density instantly double within a hundred miles of the Gate of Lingyu.
The Heavenly Earth Lingji in that hundred-mile radius became more active as well.
An old man walked out from the Gate of Lingyu, frowning slightly as if he disdained the thin Spiritual Energy in the Inner Domain. He looked up towards Tianbao Pavilion.
With one step, he reached the summit of Tianbao Pavilion.
Seeing this, the man with the purple crown started trembling in fright, falling to the ground with a thud.
“Greetings, Your Excellency!”
The rest of the powerful beings at Tianbao Pavilion also fell to their knees in a flurry, wishing they could bury their heads in the mud, fearing that displeasing this powerhouse, who was the backbone of Tianbao Pavilion, would lead to their demise!
