Chapter 1644: Xiadu Soul-Calming Palace
Chapter 1644
The area outside Qiwang Mountain.
Emperor Xia and a group of civil and military officials stood here. They seemed calm, but in fact, their arms were trembling slightly and their hearts were in their throats.
"It's been so long, why hasn't Juan'er appeared yet? Did something happen to her?"
"According to historical records, there is a certain chance of dying when going to Qiwang Mountain to pray, but the probability is relatively low..."
"Juan'er has suffered for half her life. It's impossible that her luck is so bad that she would encounter an accident..."
When Emperor Xia thought of this, he could no longer bear it.
He strode forward, trying to pass through the invisible barrier and enter the Qiwang Mountain.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, you can't go over there!"
"I have a feeling that if we rush into this place rashly, there may be huge risks!"
A group of civil and military officials held Emperor Xia back.
Emperor Xia looked grim: "Let me go!"
next second.
The invisible barrier in front of him twisted.
Two figures walked out of it.
"Father!"
Xia Xiaojuan, who was in the lead, looked excited and quickly rushed towards Emperor Xia.
"Juan'er!"
Emperor Xia broke free from his subordinates and hugged the girl excitedly.
"No... I was too strong. What if Juan'er..."
Realizing that he had overexerted himself with his emotions, Emperor Xia was filled with regret.
But soon, he felt the spring-like spiritual energy surging out of his daughter's body, and his face was full of disbelief: "Daughter...you..."
He can feel it.
My daughter is different now.
My daughter before was like a fragile porcelain doll.
at the moment.
Her appearance had not changed much, she was still petite and fragile.
but……
There is a vitality in her body that she never had before!
"Father, thanks to the help of this Immortal Master, my daughter was treated in Qiwang Mountain..."
Xia Xiaojuan was full of gratitude and turned around and pointed at the young man.
"!"
Emperor Xia then noticed that there was a young man following his daughter!
Because he cared too much about his daughter, he subconsciously ignored the young man at first.
The people around Emperor Xia were naturally wary of the sudden appearance of the young man, and had already taken up their positions, ready to meet the enemy.
"Daughter, who is this immortal master?"
Emperor Xia looked at this handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament and an unfathomable feeling, and felt infinite curiosity in his heart.
Why is there still a young man in this Qiwang Mountain?
He also helped his daughter?
Xia Xiaojuan excitedly recounted the situation.
It was probably about Chu Jing suddenly appearing, rescuing her from Qi Wangshan, and letting Qi Wangshan treat her illness.
Emperor Xia was overjoyed when he heard this: "Juan'er, so your chronic illness has finally been cured?"
"Yes, Father, Juan'er feels very strong right now. This is the first time in her life!"
Xia Xiaojuan cried with excitement as she spoke.
Emperor Xia's pupils were also red.
He is indeed an extremely powerful man, but he has a heart that loves his daughter.
Over the years, in order to heal his daughter, he almost developed a mental disorder.
Now that his daughter has recovered from her serious illness, he feels extremely relieved.
"Master Immortal, how should I address you?"
Although he knew nothing about the young man, he saved his daughter.
Emperor Xia was very fond of him and treated him with great respect.
"Chu Jing."
Chu Jing answered calmly.
"It turns out to be Master Chu Xianshi!"
Emperor Xia nodded, and said solemnly, "Master Immortal saved my daughter this time. I have no way to repay you. I would like to invite you to visit Xiadu first. I wonder if Master Immortal is willing?"
Chu Jing nodded.
Emperor Song was overjoyed and waved his hand immediately.
"Lulu!"
Eight majestic, tall, winged Pegasus appeared in the sky.
Pegasus pulled a huge golden chariot.
"Da da da!"
When the Pegasus fell to the ground, the golden chariot strangely looked like a feather and slowly fell to the ground.
"Sir, please!"
Emperor Xia made a gesture of invitation and waited for Chu Jing to board the golden carriage first before pulling his daughter up.
"Return to Xiadu as soon as possible."
Emperor Xia spoke to his ministers, then controlled the golden carriage to fly high into the sky toward the capital of Xia.
Many civil officials and military generals looked at each other in bewilderment.
They were completely confused about the situation.
However, it can also be seen that this young man who suddenly appeared should be an extraordinary person.
Because the aura he exudes is extremely terrifying!
This is definitely not something that an ordinary cultivator can possess!
……
Summer capital.
When the golden carriage arrived at this magnificent city.
The streets were crowded with people.
Countless civilians and soldiers lined the streets to welcome them.
The atmosphere was very lively.
Emperor Xia looked at the scene below and nodded with satisfaction.
Just now, on the way back, he had sent orders back to the palace to set up such a scene just to welcome Chu Jing's arrival.
"Master Immortal, how about taking a walk in the city?"
Emperor Xia asked enthusiastically.
"No need."
Chu Jing shook his head directly, and added: "My identity is quite sensitive. If it gets out, it may bring big trouble to your Xiadu."
"what?"
Emperor Xia was extremely surprised by this statement.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.
He even guessed that Chu Jing was a foreign guest, and might have defected because he had a feud with a certain Holy Son.
"Then my actions today were a bit hasty."
Emperor Xia slapped his forehead, feeling somewhat regretful.
Chu Jing said calmly: "It's okay."
Then Emperor Xia ignored the welcoming crowd below.
He controlled the golden carriage and flew quickly to the palace.
When Chu Jing dismounted from his horse, Emperor Xia did not make a big fanfare. Instead, he ordered soldiers to guard various places and did not give any welcome. Everything was kept low-key.
Enter the palace.
Some dancers and singers are already in place.
Emperor Xia asked Chu Jing to sit down and poured wine for him personally.
Wait for the dancers and singers to start working.
The voice is soft and melodious, and the dance is graceful.
There was a happy atmosphere in the whole palace.
Taking advantage of this gap, Emperor Xia asked, "Master Immortal, do you want to find a place to stay?"
Chu Jing did not deny it.
Emperor Xia nodded and said, "If that's the case, Immortal Master Chu doesn't mind, you can stay in Xiadu from now on. I dare not say that Xia is the strongest country in the world, but I can be sure that it is in the top three."
Chu Jing still nodded, and asked directly: "Emperor Xia, I wonder if there is a place of luck in your Xia Dynasty?"
"A place of luck?"
This was the first time Emperor Xia had heard of this term, but on second thought, it should be a special place where no strangers are allowed to enter and which is filled with a strange aura and energy.
There are many places like this in the imperial palace.
There are countless of them throughout the Xia Kingdom.
"Of course there are."
Emperor Xia said seriously, "In Xiadu alone, there are eight places of destiny mentioned by Immortal Master Chu..."
Chu Jing nodded slightly.
Although the art of looking at qi is just a basic technique.
But he became a Xuanxian.
He has already mastered this technique to the point where his skills are close to the Tao.
He had come from afar and chose to settle in Xia Country.
It also shows that this dynasty is in a state of prosperity.
Since ancient times, great events have required the support of luck.
Without luck, a dynasty cannot achieve glory.
and so.
Chu Jing would choose to save Xia Xiaojuan.
This is also related to this matter.
He hoped to use this opportunity to openly enter some important places of the Xia Dynasty and sign in.
Let’s see what Emperor Xia said and his attitude now.
Chu Jing knew that his plan was successful.
"If Emperor Xia is willing, can you allow me to visit these eight important places?"
Chu asked in shock.
"of course can."
Emperor Xia waved his hand in a very heroic manner.
These important places are off-limits to outsiders.
The entire Xiadu, except for himself.
No one else, even children, wives, or daughters, are qualified to enter.
Allowing Chu Jing to enter these places is actually against ancestral teachings.
But Emperor Xia couldn't care less about that.
Who said Chu Jing was his daughter’s savior?
……
into the night.
The entire palace was brightly lit.
A building located deep inside the Imperial Palace.
The building is tightly defended by powerful monks.
The leader among them is a eunuch at the Xuanxian level!
Led by Emperor Xia, Chu Jing came to the outside of this palace which looked like a palace but actually exuded an aura of death.
"Sir, this is the Soul-Calming Palace, one of the eight treasured places in the Summer Capital."
Emperor Xia stood outside the palace, with his hands behind his back, and introduced enthusiastically.
"Inside this hall, there is a coffin, and inside the coffin is a dead, indescribable creature."
"Although it has been dead for many years, the remnants in the coffin still emit indescribable dark energy..."
"Under the long-term invasion of dark energy, a special world has been formed inside the Soul-Calming Palace. If a dark-type demon cultivator enters it, he will be like a fish in water, and his cultivation will improve rapidly."
Emperor Xia gave a brief introduction and brought Chu Jing to the door.
"His Majesty!"
The guards and eunuchs saluted one after another.
"You have worked hard."
Emperor Xia said simply and took out a token.
Then the restrictions covering the Soul-Calming Palace dissipated.
Chu Jing, who was standing behind Emperor Xia, had his eyes light up.
Originally, observing from the outside.
He found that although this Soul-Calming Palace was magnificent.
But there was no obvious outpouring of luck.
I thought Emperor Xia had misunderstood my meaning and brought me to a place that was not suitable for signing in!
But the ban guarding the palace was lifted.
A large amount of luck is pouring out from it.
Chu Jing just realized that he was wrong.
Emperor Xia is smarter than expected.
He knew what the place of fortune he was looking for was.
"Come on, Brother Chu, let's go in and take a look."
Emperor Xia led the way with a smile.
The heavy wooden door opened silently, and thick darkness and demonic energy invaded.
"Sususu!"
The soldiers and eunuchs who had been guarding this place for many years suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their bodies began to tremble.
"boom!"
When the door was closed again.
The figures of Chu Jing and Emperor Xia have disappeared.
The guards all looked at each other.
"So the interior of the Soul-Calming Palace is so cold and gloomy?"
“There is still such a huge amount of demonic energy!”
"Just now, I was only slightly affected by the aura and felt chilled to the bone. Your Majesty and that Immortal Master actually walked into the palace in person. Wouldn't they be even colder?"
As the guards were horrified.
The eunuch quickly calmed down and said, "Your Majesty and Master Immortal are so powerful, how can they be compared to you and me? If they enter this Soul-Calming Palace, they must be able to handle it."
The guards then shut their mouths and dared not say anything else.
……
at the same time.
Inside the Soul-Calming Palace.
It was dark and quiet all around.
Chu Jing and Emperor Xia stood side by side in the darkness, with a huge black coffin in front of them.
