“By the way, Lord Lu, I would like to ask, are all the guides in the City of Heavens on lifelong contracts?”
After a long silence, Lin Wudao suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huantian’s heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Mu Jiutian, who was standing respectfully. He had vaguely guessed Lin Wudao’s intentions.
“According to the rules of the City of Heavens, a guide must be at least a Great Emperor. Generally speaking, the contract signed is between 90,000 to 100,000 years. During the contract period, the guide cannot leave without permission. I remember that Mu Jiutian’s original contract was 90,000 years. Now, he has already been a guide in the City of Heavens for 87,000 years. He still needs 3,000 years.”
“Supreme, do you want to recruit Mu Jiutian as your retinue?” Lu Huantian asked carefully.
A retinue?
Lin Wudao’s expression was unperturbed.
“If I recruit Mu Jiutian as my retinue, does that mean that he will be under my jurisdiction from now on?”
“Yes. In the City of Heavens, the Supreme is supreme. If you recruit Mu Jiutian as your retinue, he will be freed from the jurisdiction of the Haotian Mansion. His life and death will be in your hands,” Lu Huantian bowed and said.
Hearing this answer, Lin Wu nodded thoughtfully.
“I see. In that case, I will recruit Mu Jiutian as my retinue. From now on, he will be under my jurisdiction.”
“Yes, sir.”
Lu Huantian had no objections to this request. Immediately, he asked someone to bring Mu Jiutian’s guide contract and handed it to him.
“Mu Jiutian thanks the Supreme!”
Looking at the contract in his hand, Mu Jiutian’s eyes were filled with unprecedented surprise and excitement. He immediately knelt and kowtowed heavily.
To be favored by a Supreme was a supreme honor. Even in the myriad worlds, it was also a huge opportunity that could not be obtained even if one wanted to.
From now on, his life and fate had been completely reversed. It could be said that his future now had unlimited potential.
Even Ji Ruyue, who was standing at the side, cast an envious look at Mu Jiutian.
“By the way, Lord Lu, if I want to go to other great worlds, how do I do that?”
“Supreme, there is a world hub in Haotian Mansion that allows one to use the Great World Teleportation Array to head to a designated great world. If your subordinate wants to go to other great worlds, they must have the Supreme Decree with them. Otherwise, they will be judged and punished by the laws of the universe if they go to other great worlds without permission,” Lu Huantian bowed and reported.
“Hmm. In that case, Mu Jiutian, you should go back to your own world now. The Mu family probably needs you,” Lin Wudao said calmly.
What?
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiutian could not help but be stunned on the spot. “Supreme, I…”
“Why? Don’t you want to go back and take a look at the Mu family? Previously, due to the restrictions of the guide contract, you were unable to leave the City of Heavens. Now, I want you to go back, but you’re unwilling?”
“No, Supreme, I’m willing!”
Mu Jiutian was so excited that he was incoherent.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
“Thank you for your help, Supreme!”
As he spoke, he kowtowed Lin Wudao with endless surprise and gratitude.
It seemed that this was the only way to express the gratitude in Mu Jiutian’s heart.
In response, Lin Wudao gently nodded.
“Go. You have been in this city for 80,000 years. It is time to return and take a look.”
“Yes, sir.”
Mu Jiutian kowtowed heavily to the ground. The reverence he had for Lin Wudao had reached an unprecedented level.
“Men, return Mu Jiutian’s talisman to him. Then, bring him to the great world he comes from,” Lu Huantian ordered.
“As you wish!” A True Celestial in the hall nodded respectfully.
Soon after, one of them walked out and left with Mu Jiutian.
After they had gone far away, Lin Wudao’s gaze fell on Ji Ruyue.
“Ji Ruyue, go and do something for me now.”
“Supreme, please instruct me.”
Ji Ruyue’s spirits were lifted. The opportunity to serve a Supreme was a great honor and a supreme opportunity.
“Mu Jiutian’s family is going through a huge change. Although he has already reached the extreme of the Imperial Dao, I’m afraid he won’t be able to turn the situation around after he returns. Immediately use my name to recruit a group of powerhouses above the True Celestial realm. Then, with my decree, go to the world where Mu Jiutian is located and help him tide over the crisis,” Lin Wudao ordered.
“May I ask Supreme, how many people do you need to recruit?”
“Hmm…”
“Supreme, the enemies of Mu Jiutian’s family are mainly Heavenly Emperors. As long as you send a True Celestial there, they will definitely be able to resolve the crisis,” Lu Huantian said.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao nodded slightly.
“In that case, take my decree and recruit 20 True Celestials, three Ancient Celestials, and finally a Celestial King to go to the world where Mu Jiutian is. Since he has become my retinue, he naturally cannot lose his prestige.” After saying that, Lin Wudao raised his hand and waved. A purple divine light suddenly rushed out of the supreme talisman, turned into a decree, and fell into Ji Ruyue’s hand.
“We will obey the Supreme Decree,” Ji Ruyue bowed.
“Alright. I believe in your abilities. After the matter with the Mu family is settled, ask Mu Jiutian to wait for me in the City of the Heavens. If there is anything in the future, I will come personally.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wudao immediately used the supreme talisman in his hand to leave the City of Heavens.
Next, he still had other things to do.
“Goddess Ji, congratulations. To be able to obtain the favor of a Supreme is a supreme honor and a supreme opportunity. Goddess Ji’s future can be said to be limitless. In fact, it won’t be long before even I will have to look up to Goddess Ji. Hehe,” Lu Huantian said with a smile.
There was a hint of envy in the depths of his eyes.
What was a great opportunity? This was it!
Being able to follow the Supreme was something that all living beings in the world yearned for. After today, not only Ji Ruyue but also the Nine Heavens Merchant Union behind her would rise to the top.
“Lord, you’re too kind. I was just lucky. In the end, it’s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Mu,” Ji Ruyue answered.
Although she had already become a True Celestial, she still could not hide the excitement and joy in her heart.
From today onwards, she would have a big backer. Not only her, but the fate of the Nine Heavens Merchant Union, where she was, would also undergo a shocking change.
When one person attained the Dao, even his chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven.
These words weren’t just for show when it came to a Supreme. Thinking of this, Ji Ruyue immediately bid Lu Huantian farewell and returned to the Celestial Dao Tower in the Second Heaven of the City of Heavens as quickly as possible.
Thump!
Without any hesitation, she rang the Heaven-suppressing Bell that the Celestial Dao Tower used to send messages.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
In an instant, many important figures in the Celestial Dao Tower appeared in front of Ji Ruyue with dazzling celestial light.
The weakest among these people was a True Celestial. In fact, there was no lack of Ancient Celestials among them.
The leader was a square-faced middle-aged man in black who had cultivated to the Celestial King Realm. He was the elder in charge of guarding the Celestial Dao Tower. His name was Ji Wuya.
“Yue ‘er, what happened? What made you sound the Heaven-suppressing Bell?”
Ji Wuya sat at the head of the table, and the celestial light around him was endless.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a supreme celestial might gushed out.
Although he had already restrained it to the extreme, it still suppressed everyone until they couldn’t breathe.
The Heaven-suppressing Bell could only be rung when there was a huge event. Therefore, when he heard the Heaven-suppressing Bell ring, Ji Wuya immediately woke up from his deep cultivation.
However, when he arrived at the Celestial Dao Tower, he didn’t find anything strange.
Similarly, the others present also revealed shocked expressions.
One by one, their gazes fell on Ji Ruyue.
Seeing this, Ji Ruyue didn’t dawdle and immediately opened her palm.
Boom!
In an instant, a supreme will descended and pressed down on everyone, including Ji Wuya and the others, until they knelt on the ground.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with panic and fear.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a majestic voice sounded.
[Supreme Dongfang’s Decree: Ji Ruyue is ordered to summon 20 True Celestials, three Ancient Celestials, and one Celestial King to immediately head to the Xuanhuang Great World to assist Mu Jiutian.]
What? A Supreme Decree?
Hearing the voice that made the souls of celestials tremble, boundless respect and fear rose in the eyes of Ji Wuya and the others. Even after the voice disappeared for a long time, they still did not dare to get up. “Yue ‘er, that was… A Supreme Decree?” Ji Wuya asked in disbelief. “Yes. Just now, I accompanied the Supreme to Haotian Mansion. The Supreme asked me to be in charge of recruiting 20 True Celestials, three Ancient Celestials, and a Celestial King to head to the Xuanhuang Great World. The goal is to help Mu Jiutian. Oh right, Mu Jiutian has already become the retinue of the Supreme,” Ji Ruyue answered truthfully.
The moment these words came out, everyone’s hearts were greatly shaken again. However, Ji Wuya soon thought of something, and his eyes revealed an extremely strong desire.
“Yue ‘er, did the Supreme say where to recruit powerhouses above the True Celestial realm?”
“The Supreme has put me in charge of this matter. As the saying goes, benefits should always be kept for one’s own people. I must naturally recruit the powerhouses from the Nine Heavens Merchant Union when given such a great opportunity and good fortune,” Ji Ruyue said with a smile. Hearing this, Ji Wuya was overjoyed.
The others also looked at Ji Ruyue with eager eyes. “Elder Wuya, I don’t know much about conscription. Why don’t you do me a favor? After all, I’m weak. When the time comes, we’ll still need you, Elder Wuya, to lead those people,” Ji Ruyue said slowly. “Alright. Yue ‘er, leave this matter to me!”
