After half a day, the Renhuang Pavilion.
Liu Bairen looked at the pile of jade talismans in front of him, pondering deeply. His plump face was filled with contemplation.
Just now, the Emperor came and first informed him and several deputy pavilion masters that the Heavenly Palace was going to bring seven calamities and six disasters to the Human Realm. They were told to make preparations in advance and that most of the suggestions in these jade talismans could be followed.
Following that, the Emperor left a rather special decree...
In fact, it was not something new for the Heavenly Palace to lay hands on the Human Realm. Throughout the history of the Human Realm, the Heavenly Palace would always bring various disasters. The Renhuang Pavilion already had a mature system to deal with them.
Although the seven calamities and six disasters this time sounded terrifying, as long as the cultivators were mobilized to help the mortals, the Human Realm could still handle it.
But the task that the Emperor just assigned to him...
"Everyone, how can we motivate a young man who is currently feeling very down and out to strive forward and be full of enthusiasm?"
The several old men sitting beside him exchanged glances, each feeling a bit confused, and gave a few suggestions:
"Use power and position to drive him, so that he knows he can achieve success and fame in the future?"
"Or see what he likes and lacks, and give him what he needs?"
"Hey, tie a fierce wolf behind him and let the wolf chase after him, wouldn't that work?"
"Nowadays, young people are only focused on their cultivation partners. They should be driven by their cultivation partners."
"Cultivation partner?"
Liu Bairen frowned slightly, muttering to himself.
He knew that little guy, Wu Wang, seemed to have that kind of relationship with the Emperor's daughter.
And now Wu Wang is getting close to the Heavenly Palace's Saintess Ling Xiaolan. Even a discerning person can see that she has some intentions.
The Emperor's daughter and the Heavenly Palace's Saintess, these two are going to fight sooner or later. If he interferes in this matter, wouldn't he be causing trouble for Wu Wang?
What can Liu Bairen do to cause trouble for Wu Wang?
Hehe, he can.
"This suggestion is not bad. Cultivation partners are the eternal pursuit of our young people in the Human Realm," Liu Bairen smiled, "Young people have abundant energy. If they don't think about reproduction, how can our human race have a future?
What do you all think about selecting a group of talented and beautiful women to become low-level officials in the Punishment Hall?"
The old men were also taken aback.
"The Punishment Hall? Is it arranged for Wu Wang?"
"Think carefully, Pavilion Master! Now everyone in the Mysterious Female Sect sees Wu Wang as a son-in-law. If you do this, won't you invite criticism?"
"Pavilion Master, if you do this, people will say you're not serious!"
"Although the Punishment Hall only manages internal punishments in the Renhuang Pavilion, it is still a serious and formal place. It requires severity and strictness. To have a group of talented and beautiful women..."
"Maybe there will be some talented and reckless young men who will break their heads to commit some minor offenses!"
"Why is this not serious? Then what do you suggest?"
Liu Bairen didn't expect these old guys to react so strongly. He walked back to his seat with his hands behind his back and said in a calm voice:
"This is how things are. If you can't think of a good solution, then think carefully and give me an answer in the next few days.
I can tell you a secret, I'm not the one who wants to do this. I'm just following orders. Don't ask who is behind me. What I want is to motivate Wu Wang.
He has suffered from the trauma of his heart demon and is now melancholic and miserable."
Orders from above? Following orders? Don't ask who is behind?
The several deputy pavilion masters almost cursed out loud... Isn't the Emperor above you!
Liu Bairen said solemnly, "Alright, let's study the jade talismans given by the Emperor. The Heavenly Palace has already made a move against us. This time, they are coming aggressively. The problems in those big cities before were obviously a test by the Heavenly Palace."
The several deputy pavilion masters agreed and gathered around Liu Bairen.
Being a pavilion master meant that it was impossible to personally handle everything. Some trivial matters could be delegated, and there would always be someone worried about them.
One or two hours later, the several old men left Liu Bairen's residence and went to the Immortal and Mortal Hall to drink tea and chat.
Soon, a piece of news "accidentally" spread among the major sects in the Human Realm and the various border gates.
[The heroic young dragon of the Human Realm, Wu Wang, the Punishment Hall Master of the Renhuang Pavilion, attracted a Transcendent Tribulation when crossing the Tribulation to become an immortal, causing his mind to be affected by his heart demon. He is now mentally weak and melancholic. The Renhuang Pavilion is seeking a cure.
In addition, Wu Wang is temporarily residing in the Mie Tian Black Wind Demon Sect, practicing in seclusion.]
When the leaders of the major forces who received the "notification" from the Renhuang Pavilion saw this news, most of them had a somewhat stiff expression.
Most of the Human Realm's experts didn't understand the meaning of sarcasm, but at this moment, many of them had the urge to curse.
What kind of Tribulation would attract a Transcendent Tribulation when becoming a Transcendent?
The Heavenly Palace's Tribulation?
But with the news from the Renhuang Pavilion behind and the rumors of Wu Wang's Tribulation spreading everywhere, it was clear that the Renhuang Pavilion didn't intentionally promote their Punishment Hall Master.
For a while, all the sects made a decision - to conceal the news and not tell their own young talents.
Following that, they sent someone with a generous gift to represent their respective sects and rushed to the Mie Sect.Wu Wang's identity as the Lord of the Punishment Hall alone was enough to make them take the initiative to befriend him.
Not to mention the catchy poem about the little golden dragon...
The Renhuang Pavilion did not dare to be careless and had prepared tens of thousands of immortal soldiers stationed near the destroyed sect, completely protecting it and arranging for three transcendent experts to sit in.
However, within three to five days, the destroyed sect had become bustling.
Even the Great Elder couldn't rest, chatting and exchanging pleasantries with the envoys who came to offer condolences, and expressing gratitude on behalf of Wu Wang.
Wu Wang, on the other hand, stayed behind closed doors, lying on the bed all day, occasionally reading a book or daydreaming, and sometimes taking a nap, not being very active with his fellow cultivators.
There was nothing he could do; mentality was a very delicate matter.
Lin Suqing seemed to have returned to her appearance when she first arrived in the North Wilderness. She was busy all day, occasionally poking Wu Wang to help him sleep better.
Celestial Sword Taoist rushed to the border to deal with the calamity caused by the ten evil gods. This sword expert still needed more experience, and the Renhuang Pavilion had high hopes for him, hoping that his clash with the evil gods would allow him to further grow.
- This was a serious clash.
Half a month later, the peak of the gift-giving frenzy to the destroyed sect arrived.
Wu Wang's sleeping hall was filled with various brocade boxes, each containing countless treasures.
Wu Wang originally intended to have the Great Elder move them to the Treasure Hall to support the development and construction of the Master Alchemist Alliance, but the Great Elder stubbornly insisted that Wu Wang open each one before deciding where they should go.
Wu Wang:...
"Then let's wait. I don't have the energy for it recently."
"I understand. If you have anything, just send someone to call me."
The Great Elder didn't dare to disturb him any further, smiled and bowed, then turned and left.
Wu Wang felt like a deflated balloon, swaying and collapsing on the bed, casually summoning a coconut and sucking the juice inside.
Ah, sugar.
At the same time, at Lin Qi's residence.
As soon as the Great Elder closed the door, the mirror that several people were guarding instantly turned black, cutting off their surveillance of the cave.
Ji Mo, who had just arrived, looked thoughtful. Lin Qi, Ling Xiaolan, Mao Aowu, Yang Wudi, Zhang Moshan, and Lin Qi's four maidservants all looked at Ji Mo, who was known as the "Number One Friend of Wu Wang," with concern.
Ji Mo asked, "How long has Wu Wang been like this?"
Lin Qi hurriedly said, "After the tribulation, Teacher has been like this, unable to muster any enthusiasm no matter what he does."
Ling Xiaolan added, "It is said that he has expended too much mental energy in order to resist his inner demons."
"Mental energy, mental strength, it's actually quite complicated."
Ji Mo said slowly, "This is somewhat similar to... before I got married. Note that it's before I got married. When I spent a long time in the Flower Pavilion, I suddenly lost interest in everything.
In general, it will pass after a period of time."
Mao Aowu sighed, "Yes, it will be like this. Even the Heavenly Immortals can't hold on."
Yang Wudi sighed, "Ah, even body cultivators can't hold on."
Clang!
Ling Xiaolan unsheathed her short sword, and a cold light flickered in her eyes.
Although Mao Aowu and Yang Wudi had higher cultivation levels, they still shivered in unison. They straightened their chests and stood up straight, with a serious expression on their faces.
Ji Mo smiled and said, "We are not discussing how to cheer up Wu Wang?"
"How about we invite Wu Wang to visit the Kingdom of Women together?"
Ling Xiaolan said, "The time we spent in the Kingdom of Women was quite enjoyable. If we revisit the old place, it should be able to cheer up Wu Wang."
Ji Mo sighed, "Can Wu Wang leave the Human Realm now? The entire Human Realm is spreading rumors about Wu Wang, the little golden dragon, the successor to the Human Emperor, and your husband."
Ling Xiaolan blushed and glared at Ji Mo; Ji Mo calmly took out a folding fan and held it in front of himself.
"How about this," Lin Qi looked at Ling Xiaolan, then looked in the direction of Wu Wang's cave, "should we surprise Teacher?"
With a swish, Ling Xiaolan's figure disappeared, leaving only the two wooden doors swinging back and forth.
Ji Mo and Lin Qi exchanged glances, clapped their hands, and each showed a slight smile.
Mao Aowu, Yang Wudi, and Zhang Moshan immediately relaxed, each finding a seat and sitting down, crossing their legs, folding their legs, and scratching their legs, feeling relaxed and at ease.
"Ma Yi Er San Si, guard outside the door."
Lin Qi said calmly, "Now that the Master Alchemist is finally gone, let's discuss how to cheer up my teacher."
"Let's not beat around the bush," Ji Mo said, "I propose that you take him to the Flower Pavilion, and I will wait outside. After all, I am a married man and cannot let down Leyao. Just listen to a tune, that's all."
Mao Aowu pondered for a moment and said, "The Master is a serious person."
"No, no, no," Ji Mo gently shook the folding fan in his hand and said calmly, "I understand Wu Wang. Just like how Wu Wang understands me, he is someone who longs for the Flower Pavilion."
Mao Aowu whispered, "You must understand... I don't mean to say anything about the Master, but Lin Suqing and the Master have never crossed the line."
Yang Wudi said, "I think it's difficult for us to come up with a reasonable plan here. Why don't we go to Fuyu City and find a Flower Pavilion? It can also serve as an inspection."
The group looked at each other.
"Good."
"Agreed.""No problem."
"This is for the consideration of the sect master. The Falling Treasure Hall must be accounted for by us."
Only Lin Qi seemed a bit nervous and asked softly, "Should we bring them along?"
The few people immediately exchanged complicated glances.
So, these guys flew away together, decisively.
In the sect master's sleeping chamber, Wu Wang's divine sense captured this scene, and he had a few question marks on his forehead.
This Ji Mo, he didn't even come to have a drink after the destruction of the sect. What did he go out with a few like-minded friends for?
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Wang called two elders of the destroyed sect and asked them to secretly follow Ji Mo, to prevent him from making any fundamental mistakes.
He was really worried about these guys.
He turned over and slept on the bed, not knowing how long had passed when he woke up from his deep sleep, and started thinking about a big matter.
[How can I mess with Deputy Deity of Lifespan?]
Wu Wang sighed slightly, lying on the edge of the bed, his head hanging outside, looking at the landscape painting hanging in front of the stone curtain, it had a different taste when viewed upside down.
Deputy Deity of Lifespan, a pre-heaven god, the actual power holder of the Heavenly Palace, controlling the lifespan of all beings. He had set a lifespan limit for the human race, allowing them to live for a maximum of six hundred years in the abundant spiritual energy of the Great Wasteland.
The path of cultivation for the human realm cultivators was also a constant struggle against the way of Deputy Deity of Lifespan.
He was an old enemy of the human realm.
If the Heavenly Palace was defeated by the human realm, Deputy Deity of Lifespan would definitely have no way out.
Wait for the rise of the human realm, or wait for the return of the maternal family, and then settle the old and new accounts with Deputy Deity of Lifespan?
Wouldn't that make him feel frustrated for a long time?
At the very least, he should take back some interest and make Deputy Deity of Lifespan dare not act recklessly.
When the senior went to destroy their Thunder Pool, the deterrent power was not strong enough;
If the Heavenly Palace completely tore its face and directly brought down the deadly tribulation on the human realm cultivators crossing the Tribulation, it would greatly strike the morale of the human realm.
This situation was very likely to happen.
Deputy Deity of Lifespan's move this time was probably also a test. If he could withstand it, it should make the other party more cautious...
"Young master?"
This slightly coquettish and smooth voice...
Wu Wang's eyes moved to the left and saw a figure slowly appearing from the entrance of a side cave.
Auntie?
A soft hum came from her nose, followed by a pink smoke spreading out.
She walked out step by step from the edge of the cave, stepping on the thin mist, accompanied by immortal light. Her eyes were charming, her red lips were like blood, and her tongue lightly brushed against her lips.
After taking two steps forward, she suddenly turned sideways, raised her hand to support the non-existent wall, and the other hand quietly passed by her side.
The movement was a bit stiff, obviously just learned recently.
Wu Wang sat up straight, his eyes filled with some doubt.
Lin Suqing said softly, "Tonight, it's just you and me."
Wu Wang glanced at the constantly smoking inner cave and could still see Xiao Mumo vigorously fanning there.
Lin Suqing walked slowly, her slender and graceful figure revealed under the layer of gauze skirt; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers brushed against Wu Wang's cheek without touching his skin.
She said, "Young master, there are many things that other people's maidservants have to do."
"Don't you know..."
Lin Suqing asked softly, "May this slave dance for you, young master?"
Wu Wang silently covered himself with three layers of ice crystal film and muttered, "Did Miao Cui teach you?"
"Huh?"
Lin Suqing instantly lost her composure, blinked and asked, "How did you know?"
"She's a seductive practitioner who has been single for thousands of years. Did you learn these things from her?"
Wu Wang couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead, "Go, make tea. I've been a bit hot-tempered recently... Don't do these useless things, aren't you just rubbing salt on my wounds?"
"This... I was too hasty, young master, please don't be angry."
Lin Suqing quickly got up, regret filling her eyes, and hurriedly ran to the inner cave.
Wu Wang breathed a sigh of relief, discreetly pulled a thin blanket to cover his legs, and looked down, silently taking out two more blankets.
He felt like he was going to die.
A wise man doesn't need to speak in riddles. This curse from the God of Luck had made him uphold his principles and bottom line countless times.
Thank you, God of Luck!
Sincerely hope to burn two stacks of yellow paper for the God of Luck next year!
The sleep he had just had was already half a day ago.
Wu Wang didn't take long to get up from the bed, walked around the cave with his hands behind his back, and began to look at the pile of gift boxes that had accumulated into a mountain.
These gifts came from hundreds of sects and dozens of prominent families. At this moment, they were all covered with cloth, with their origins and sources written on top.
Actually, the Great Elder had secretly checked them to prevent anything harmful to the sect master's physical and mental health.
Wu Wang picked up a palm-sized gift box, and after opening it, a fairy light emerged, revealing a large pearl inside, with faint spiritual light flickering.
Good stuff, it can purify spiritual energy and return it to clarity.
I don't know what the immortal sect that sent this gift was thinking, giving him, the master of the demonic sect, this thing.Humming a tune from the North Wilderness, Wu Wang took a few thin ropes and tied the large pearl in the knot. He examined it from all angles, then made it into a tassel and sent it to Lin Suqing with his immortal power.
A poor young master should not have a poor maid.
Wu Wang kept unpacking these brocade boxes, taking out two storage magic treasures, and allocating the valuable items that were not very useful to him for the construction of the Sect and the Alliance of Refining Masters.
He collected all the novel, strange, and rare items that could please women.
They would be of great use!
Gradually, Wu Wang found some interest and began to guess what treasures were in the next gift box.
He gradually became engrossed, his spirits lifted.
Who said that unwrapping packages was only a pleasure for women? It was a hobby shared by all humans.
Unfortunately, just as Wu Wang was getting excited, two figures landed in front of the cave mansion, loudly reporting, calling out 'Sect Master', 'Palace Master'.
Wu Wang strolled over, opened the door leisurely, and asked in a slow voice, "What's the matter?"
The elder hurriedly said, "Sect Master! We just received news that Elder Mao, along with Law Enforcement Officers Ji and Lin, as well as Yang Wudi and Zhang Mushan, have started a fight at the Flower Tower!"
"Oh?" Wu Wang frowned and asked, "Did we suffer any losses?"
"Not yet, but this is bad for our sect's reputation..."
"If that's all, next."
Another official from the Punishment Hall, holding a jade talisman, bowed and handed it over:
"Palace Master! Urgent news from the border! A group of experts from various races has appeared at the border. The Ren Emperor Pavilion has issued an order, asking you to immediately go and support Deputy Palace Master Xiao Jian! Take charge of the border affairs!"
"Experts from various races?"
Wu Wang took the jade talisman into his hand, his brows furrowed.
Experts from various races?
They just showed up and didn't attack, and even said they wanted to negotiate with the experts of the Human Realm?
This was obviously trouble, there must be some conspiracy; besides, he had just finished his Tribulation Crossing and was injured by the heart demon, he was on vacation...
"Elder Zhang, are you saying that Elder Mao and the others went to the Flower Tower?"
Wu Wang's face became serious, and he said in a firm voice:
"Quick, ask the Great Elder to come out of seclusion, and gather a hundred body cultivators to accompany me to support Elder Mao!
If we lose the fight at the Flower Tower, won't we be laughed at by our peers?
This is a great humiliation, it concerns the very foundation of our sect!"
The official from the Ren Emperor Pavilion was also stunned.
