In the backyard of the Lin Mansion.
Wu Wang sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his arms and staring at the floating ring in front of him. The storage treasures inside the ring had all been broken and he was counting his gains one by one.
There were quite a few drops of Evil God's blood, twenty drops of Evil God's essence blood. Although they were not the original essence blood of the Evil Gods, the quantity was still abundant.
It would take several years for him to absorb all the divine power within.
But as for other cultivation resources...
Are the Evil Gods not wealthy?
There are only so few precious mines and spirit herbs?
Even a medium-sized demonic sect like the Annihilation Sect consumes more resources in a hundred years!
The gains in terms of wealth were not as great as he had expected. If he had known earlier, he would have reduced the amount of precious mines in the treasure bag he gave to the seniors of the Renhuang Pavilion.
It was a small profit, but still a profit.
"Young Master," Lin Suqing called from outside, "A maid came earlier to report that the seniors of the Renhuang Pavilion are inviting you to the front yard for an important discussion."
"Alright, I'm coming."
Wu Wang put away the ring in front of him and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back. Looking at the two figures in the courtyard, he couldn't help but smile.
They had somehow managed to find two rocking chairs and were leisurely swaying in them, enjoying the leisurely afternoon.
In this scene, Wu Wang couldn't help but think of the cute girl sitting on a tree branch with a smile.
If there were another rocking chair in the future, he would be able to see her basking in the sunlight when he went out, discussing with the old aunt and Mu Da Xian what to eat later, and planning to play after dinner...
That would be nice.
The seniors said that the cultivation of the Spirit Nurturing Technique would take two to three hundred years.
Little Jing Wei was the senior's own daughter, so the senior wouldn't deceive her. This should be trustworthy.
"I'm getting a little distracted."
Wu Wang thought to himself, collected his thoughts, and focused on the matter at hand.
He actually knew why the high-level experts of the Renhuang Pavilion were inviting him over now, and he had deliberately avoided it before.
That girl from the Bai Min Kingdom had a big problem with her identity.
At that time, Wu Wang had acted quickly and knocked her unconscious when she announced her identity, avoiding any involvement in such matters.
If he had directly killed her at that time, he could have said, "I didn't know who you were." He could have argued righteously afterwards... Unfortunately, the Renhuang Pavilion did not directly take action.
"I am the young master of the Heavenly Palace!"
Young master of what?
The first thing Wu Wang thought of was "young master," but upon careful consideration, it was not the case.
The Heavenly Emperor had many sons, and the true young masters of the Heavenly Palace should be those ten suns.
The Bai Min Kingdom originated from the descendants of Emperor Di Shun, so even if this Bai Min Kingdom girl had her mind controlled, she couldn't possibly call herself the young master of the Heavenly Palace.
Following that, Wu Wang thought of a deity—the Heavenly Emperor's right-hand man, the Junior Deity of Lifespan, who was in charge of the reproduction of all races in the Heavenly Palace.
But does that make sense?
After so many years of fighting between the Heavenly Palace and the Human Realm, why would the Junior Deity of Lifespan, who ranked high in the Heavenly Palace, suddenly come to the Human Realm in the form of an incarnation?
As Wu Wang pondered in his heart, he had already entered the front hall of the Lin Mansion, maintaining a calm and relaxed expression.
Perhaps because of Wu Wang's expression, the atmosphere in the hall eased a bit, and the high-level experts of the Renhuang Pavilion let out a sigh of relief, dispelling the previous tension.
"Master Wu Wang..."
"Wu Wang!"
The two people in the main and guest seats called out at the same time, and Celestial Sword Taoist signaled for General Lin Nu Hao to speak first.
General Lin Nu Hao spoke solemnly, "Master Wu Wang, you did a great job intercepting the Divine Children this time! I have already requested credit for Master Wu Wang from the Renhuang Pavilion!"
As he spoke, the general's face turned pale, and he coughed a few times with his head lowered.
"I fought dozens of rounds with that Hissing Snake Evil God and depleted my vitality. You all don't need to be polite, I'll go rest for a while."
With that, he turned and left, quickly disappearing through the side door.
He ran away...
Wu Wang's mouth twitched a few times.
This Lin Nu Hao was quite fast, he quickly distanced himself from the matter of that Bai Min Kingdom girl with just a few words.
[I, Lin Nu Hao, was only following the orders of the Renhuang Pavilion to intercept the Divine Children. What does it have to do with me and that incarnation?]
In this way, it seemed that Lin Qi's more innocent personality should have come from his mother.
"Ah!"
Celestial Sword Taoist sighed and looked at Wu Wang with a bitter expression, saying, "Master Wu Wang, it seems like we have caused a big problem."
Wu Wang walked to an empty seat with a smile and sat down, saying, "What's the matter? Why do you all look so worried?"
Celestial Sword Taoist made a motion of knocking on Wu Wang's head, saying, "That girl has been sent to the main pavilion!"
"Let her go then."
Wu Wang picked up a cup of untouched tea and took a sip, saying nonchalantly, "We not only captured the six Divine Children, but also obtained so much useful information. That's an accomplishment."
Celestial Sword Taoist said directly, "She claimed to be the incarnation of the Junior Deity of Lifespan from the Heavenly Palace, wanting to discuss something with the Emperor. She even said that she wanted to ask the Emperor about something. We are treating the true god of the Heavenly Palace like this..."
"The two camps are already at war to the death, and she still wants to negotiate? And she says we are mistreating her?"
Wu Wang said, "Just scold her directly, and if you can't win, just fight her. Why let her put on airs!"
Celestial Sword Taoist smiled bitterly, "She said it's a matter of life and death for the Human Realm..."
Wu Wang threw the teacup aside and said calmly, "I also have a matter of life and death for the Heavenly Palace to discuss with the Heavenly Emperor. Our Emperor will be launching a northern expedition in a thousand years. I want to ask the Heavenly Emperor if he's afraid or not."
"In this way, can I go to the Heavenly Palace and act recklessly?"
"Master Wu Wang's words make sense, but no matter what, this is still a powerful figure from the Great Wasteland. We should show respect to the strong. Even if we want to kill her, we should do it openly and establish our position in the Human Realm."
"In theory, if she came directly to the Northern Border, walked towards the Great Wall of the Human Realm and shouted, 'Emperor, I have come to negotiate with you,' we should treat her as an envoy of the enemy."
"But how did she come here?"
She sneaked in with the Divine Children and only revealed her identity when she was in a desperate situation!
"We don't need to shout everywhere in the Great Wasteland. It is already benevolent for Junior Deity of Lifespan to personally come to the Human Realm and cause trouble undercover."
Celestial Sword Taoist smiled and said, "How about this, Wu Wang, you go to the main hall and help oversee this matter?"
"I'll pass," Wu Wang waved his hand and smiled awkwardly, "I'll just give a suggestion to your Renhuang Pavilion, don't take it to heart."
At this moment, in Wu Wang's spiritual platform, the white flame that had been lazily flickering without much movement gently jumped. A familiar voice sounded in his heart:
"Help them."
Voice Transmission from the senior!
Wu Wang's Elemental Infant immediately jumped up and opened his five fingers towards the flame.
Five years! The time for Jing Wei's descent is shortened by five years!
"Shorten it by fifty years? That's fine."
The voice of Senior Shen Nong carried a hint of helplessness and sighed, "In that case, as long as you handle this matter with Junior Deity of Lifespan well, I will risk half of my life to shorten the time of Jing Wei's descent to one hundred and fifty years.
Any shorter, it will really affect her soul's recovery."
Wu Wang's Elemental Infant immediately nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "This matter cannot be rushed. Let's wait for two hundred years. It's also good for her to sleep a little longer."
"If you can think like this, I suddenly feel more at ease entrusting my daughter to you."
Senior Shen Nong chuckled lightly, the Yan Emperor's command returned to normal, and the white flame returned to tranquility.
In the main hall, Wu Wang slowly raised his head, hands behind his back, his eyes filled with confidence.
"Since that's the case, please ask the seniors to lead the way. I will go to the main hall of Renhuang Pavilion. What's the harm in that!"
The attitude change of Wu Wang caught the Daoists off guard, but Celestial Sword Taoist immediately agreed.
This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".
Such a good brother who is willing to take the blame... cough! He is indeed a young man favored by the master!
This is:
The young master mistakenly hit the Sky God's envoy, and the old ginger pit is a golden son-in-law.
...
"Why is the teacher in such a hurry to leave?"
In front of the Lin family's gate, Lin Qi, who rushed over, asked in astonishment.
But Wu Wang just smiled and shook his head, raised his hand and patted Lin Qi's shoulder, "You should stay at home and accompany your parents well, don't neglect your cultivation. I still have to rush to Renhuang Pavilion to handle the follow-up matters of the divine child."
Lin Qi said, "Teacher is busy running around in the Human Realm, while the disciple can only cultivate in seclusion. I feel ashamed."
"I'm just giving them some ideas," Wu Wang said, "It's not considered running around, so go and cultivate."
Lin Suqing also said, "Take care, Young Master Lin."
"Don't call me Young Master anymore, just call me Xiaolin," Lin Qi frowned and said, "Just call me Xiaolin."
The Great Elder on the side nodded with a smile, Wu Wang waved his hand in front, urging the three people who were accompanying him to quickly board the flying shuttle.
On this journey, they flew southeast through the clouds and headed straight for their destination.
When Wu Wang arrived at Renhuang Pavilion, a message came from the northern border, saying that the tide of ferocious beasts and the nine Evil Gods were retreating, as if they were ending the attack ahead of schedule.
If the nine Evil Gods really retreated today, then this wave of ferocious beasts in the northern border would be the shortest in duration and cause the least damage to the Human Realm.
However, Wu Wang had a faint feeling in his heart that things were not so simple.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Renhuang Pavilion's Lord Liu Bairen, his face turned serious and he transmitted his voice, "Wu Wang, the identity of that girl has been confirmed without a doubt. She is indeed the Junior Deity of Lifespan from Heavenly Palace."
Wu Wang asked in confusion, "How was it confirmed?"
"She said half an hour ago that, in order to show sincerity in the negotiations with the Human Realm, she would order the nine Evil Gods to temporarily retreat three hundred miles."
Liu Bairen frowned, "The north really retreated."
Wu Wang turned his head and glanced at the Great Elder and Daoist Mu, and smiled, "I'll accompany Lord Liu for a walk."
Liu Bairen immediately called someone over and took the Great Elder, Daoist Mu, and Lin Suqing to rest in the warm pavilion.
Afterwards, the two of them found a secluded courtyard and walked while whispering.
Liu Bairen wondered, "Wu Wang, why do you think this Junior Deity of Lifespan came to us? She is the Heavenly Emperor's right-hand man, our mortal enemy, but judging from her appearance, it seems like she has the upper hand. I feel that His Majesty has no choice but to see her. I almost slapped her incarnation just now, and I can't help but wonder if there's something big going on."
Wu Wang smiled and said, "Is the Lord not satisfied with her attitude?"
"Negotiating is fine, but don't act high and mighty!"
Liu Bairen snorted, his face exuding majesty, and said coldly, "The Human Realm was not a prosperous era obtained under the Heavenly Palace's control. It was fought for by our human ancestors at the cost of their lives!"
"Gods are used to being high and mighty," Wu Wang advised in a low voice, "Did His Majesty tell the Lord about it?"
"What?"
Wu Wang said seriously, "Let me take full responsibility for this matter."
Liu Bairen blinked his eyes, "No."
Wu Wang's forehead was full of black lines as he cursed, "This old man is tricking me again!"
"Hey! Be careful with your words!"
Liu Bairen's chubby cheeks trembled a few times. He almost covered Wu Wang's mouth and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "How can you call the old man... like that! You should call him Your Majesty! The respected Emperor!"
Wu Wang shrugged indifferently and said calmly:
"Then please ask the Lord to consult with the respected Emperor. He asked me to come and deal with the incarnation of Junior Deity of Lifespan and gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse. If I don't need to take action, I hope he can fulfill this condition as well."
Liu Bairen couldn't help but laugh or cry, looking at the young man in front of him, suddenly feeling that this guy was even more troublesome than that Junior Deity of Lifespan.
"Alright, alright, I will consult with him."
The Lord immediately took out a jade token and went to a corner, speaking respectfully for a while, constantly bowing and nodding, and answering continuously.
Soon, Lord Liu turned to look at Wu Wang and smiled, "It's true, His Majesty has asked Wu Wang to take full responsibility. I will take you to meet that Junior Deity of Lifespan."
"Oh, by the way, Wu Wang, are you interested in a position in our Renhuang Pavilion?"
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, "What position?"
"Vice Hall Master of the Punishment Hall in Renhuang Pavilion, how about it?"
"Just hang the title," Wu Wang smiled, "The most important thing for me now is cultivation, to become stronger, so that I can shoulder heavier responsibilities in the future."
These words were meaningful and not at all fake.
-The burden of the Bear Hug Clan's patriarch is not light.But when Master Liu heard Wu Wang's words and thought of the seemingly impatient but actually doting tone of Emperor Yan just now, he already understood something in his heart.
"This should be one of the candidates, perhaps even the one that His Majesty likes the most."
Master Liu laughed and said, "Wu Wang, please come with me. Let's go meet this Junior Deity of Lifespan!"
Wu Wang deliberately fell behind, smiling and saying, "Please, Master."
Taking the opportunity, Wu Wang shifted the topic to the matter at hand and asked about the previous negotiations with Junior Deity of Lifespan.
After passing through several halls and courtyards, Wu Wang and Master Liu stopped outside a dazzling array of complex charms, observing the small courtyard within the array.
The small courtyard was exquisitely designed, with a fake mountain and waterfall, and a wooden pavilion surrounded by swimming koi.
The incarnation of Junior Deity of Lifespan, a girl who looked like a girl from the Republic of China, was quietly kneeling on a soft cushion, with incense and tea on a low table in front of her.
Wu Wang frowned slightly at the sight and held back Master Liu, who wanted to enter the array.
"Why aren't we going in?"
"Do you know why His Majesty suddenly summoned me to handle this matter?"
Master Liu smiled and said, "I can't guess His Majesty's thoughts."
Wu Wang said, "I was also thinking about this question on my way here, and now I have a rough idea. His Majesty probably thinks that Renhuang Pavilion is somewhat cautious and not strong enough when facing the envoys from the Heavenly Palace."
"Oh?"
Master Liu raised an eyebrow and said, "Am I not strong enough?"
"Well," Wu Wang nodded towards the inside, "the treatment here is a bit too good."
Master Liu said, "By treating them with respect, we can show the magnanimity of our Human Realm."
"She didn't come openly, nor did she come in person. She sent her incarnation to come with the disciples of the Ten Calamities Palace. The intention is to do some sneaky things. Can proving her identity allow her to act arrogantly?"
Wu Wang said seriously, "Master, this is the reason why His Majesty sent me here. Please think about it carefully."
"Hiss—"
Master Liu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists forward, "I understand His Majesty's intentions! Someone, clear out a dungeon!"
The low table in front of the girl from the Republic of China was moved away, and she was knocked unconscious by a Transcendent Realm expert. Her expression was filled with confusion and a hint of astonishment.
It was very similar to the expression she had when Wu Wang knocked her out earlier.
When she woke up, she found herself in a dark prison cell, her divine power sealed, her hands in heavy shackles, and a unbearable smell permeating the surroundings.
She stood up and looked around, loudly saying, "Is this how you treat guests in the Human Realm?"
A familiar voice came from outside the wall, "Where did you get the confidence to think that you can be a guest in our Human Realm?"
"It's you!"
The girl from the Republic of China trembled all over, and the back of her head began to ache.
She glared at Wu Wang with anger and cursed, "You despicable and untrustworthy person! Come out!"
Outside the wall, Wu Wang smiled and said, "Despicable and untrustworthy? The Ten Calamities Palace plotting against the mortal cultivators of the Human Realm, do they think they are not despicable and untrustworthy?
I just found you, set up an ambush in advance, and led you into the encirclement. What does this have to do with being despicable and untrustworthy?
On the contrary, as my defeated subordinate, don't you want to admit that you were wrong before?"
The girl remained silent, then took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Yes, I lost to you. Who are you? I want to know your name."
Wu Wang smiled and asked, "And then you'll sterilize me on the level of the Great Dao?"
She sneered, "You know that there is no benefit in offending me, yet you dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"
"I am Master Wuwang, what difference does it make if I tell you?"
A stone door on the side was pushed open, and Wu Wang, wearing a cloak and holding a silver jug, walked over with a smile.
He slightly raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, calmly saying, "If you can really do such things, the Human Realm would have long been extinct. Even if the gods control the Great Dao, there are many restrictions."
Two Heavenly Immortals brought a stone chair, and Wu Wang, with a flick of his cloak, sat down while holding the jug.
Crossing his legs, Wu Wang placed the jug aside and folded his hands on his legs, speaking warmly, "The environment here is not bad. Let's have a good talk."
The girl said coldly, "Talk? Let the Emperor come to see me."
Wu Wang sneered, and at the same time, the shackles on the girl's incarnation's hands and feet burst into dazzling lightning. The girl groaned, staggering back a few steps.
She looked up at Wu Wang, her cold face filled with suppressed anger.
"You!"
"The Human Realm and the Heavenly Palace are already mortal enemies. There is no need for unnecessary talk," Wu Wang said calmly, "I am sitting here because I was appointed by Emperor Renhuang. What do you have to say to me directly?"
"Just based on your weakness, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to hear these secrets."
"Just based on your incarnation, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to request an audience with the respected Emperor."
Facing each other, the two of them were equally matched and didn't give in at all.
Outside the dungeon, Master Liu listened carefully with his hands behind his back, a faint smile appearing on his lips, secretly admiring:
"The Emperor's judgment of people is as sharp as ever."
After a moment of silence in the prison cell, the girl from the Republic of China spoke again in a calm tone, "The matter I came to the Human Realm for should not be made public. I must speak to the Emperor in person."
"Then let your true self come."
Wu Wang stood up, picked up the jug, and without saying much, turned and walked towards the stone door.
Before he could leave, Wu Wang suddenly stopped, turned his head and said, "By the way, this incarnation should be the original person from the Republic of China, whose mind has been controlled by you."
The girl nodded slowly, "Yes, so what?"
Wu Wang gestured with his left hand, "It's nothing... Kill her."
"Yes!"
The two Heavenly Immortals answered in unison, drawing their swords without hesitation and attacking. The girl from the Republic of China immediately shrank into a corner.
In that instant—
Wu Wang, holding the jug, stepped half of his foot out of the stone door;
The two Heavenly Immortals simultaneously made their move, their calm eyes reflecting two cold lights;
The girl from the Republic of China's lips trembled slightly, her teeth clenched...
The cold light bloomed!"The Heavenly Emperor wishes to cease hostilities with the Human Realm for three hundred years! I am here to discuss matters of even greater urgency! I request an audience with the Human Emperor!"
The attacks of the two Heavenly Immortals brushed past the young girl's ears, whisking away two strands of her silver hair.
Wu Wang paused his steps, but did not turn his head.
"Take her out, let her burn incense, bathe, and change her clothes. Have her reflect in front of the tablets of the Human Realm's ancestors for half an hour.
I will then go and consult with the respected Human Emperor to see if he is in the mood to meet you."
