Chapter 1885: Enlightenment in the World

Chapter 1885

When asking this question, the Emperor of Heaven's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, which showed how nervous he was.

"Father! Although I have encountered some wonderful things during this trip, I have not broken through the Divine Hidden Realm!"

Danube didn't understand why the Emperor of Heaven had such expectations of him, but he still spoke seriously.

"There's none?"

The smile on the Emperor of Heaven's face instantly turned into disappointment.

“You are already at the ninth level of Tongtian Realm. Although you have not reached the peak, throughout history, there are examples of people breaking through to the Divine Hidden Realm directly at the ninth level as long as the life and death test is sufficient! You have experienced nine deaths and survived many times on this trip, which can be regarded as a huge life and death test, but you did not break through... I am a little disappointed.”

The Emperor of Heaven did not turn hostile, but his expression and attitude were much colder than before.

This scene made Gemma in the back collapse emotionally.

She didn't expect that her father, who was so authoritative and whom she loved so much, would express himself in this way.

It is clear that my brother and I have experienced life and death and humiliation to survive until now!

Not a single word of concern! Instead, all they have in their eyes is…profit?!

Thinking of this, Zhenma shed tears silently, and suddenly felt that this palace was not the warm and cozy place she had imagined. Instead, it was not as comfortable as staying with Chu Jing?

"Father, I am stupid and have failed to live up to your expectations. I am very sorry!"

On the other hand, Danube always remained calm. He had been with the Emperor of Heaven for a long time and already knew what kind of person he was.

In his eyes, the Emperor of Heaven was never a kind father, but rather an alien who would do anything to gain power, immortality, and spiritual practice!

Under normal circumstances, his lifespan would not be enough to support him living this long!

But he actually broke the upper limit of his own lifespan and survived to this day!

Danube had already heard the dirty truth.

He was accustomed to this and felt indifferent to it. It was impossible for him to feel disappointed or angry because of the behavior of the Emperor of Heaven.

"I can't blame you... After all, breaking through the Hidden God Realm is not an easy thing! In addition to having enough talent, you also have to wait for the heavens to show some leniency..."

The Emperor of Heaven shook his head and soon stopped dwelling on the matter.

He knew that the more pressure he exerted, the greater the pressure his sons would be under, and the lower the probability of them breaking through the Divine Hidden Realm in the future.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to comfort them and maintain the image of a "kind father". Perhaps this will help them break through?

"So Nauer, I don't blame you. I hope you understand."

The Emperor of Heaven initiated remedial measures.

Danube said solemnly: "Thank you for your encouragement, Father. In the future, I will also strive to break through the Divine Hidden Realm and repay your kindness in raising me!"

"Haha! You are indeed my favorite son!"

The Emperor of Heaven laughed with great satisfaction, and then returned to the dragon throne with the help of the eunuchs. He turned to the witch fairy behind him and said, "Although Naoer has not broken through the divine invisibility, I can feel that his vitality and breath are stronger than before! It can be seen that he has reached the peak of the Tongtian Realm. This trip can be regarded as a reward..."

Wu Xian had anticipated this and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before the good omen that happened to His Majesty Donau comes true, and he will repay Your Majesty with his invisible body..."

"Haha! I hope so."

The Emperor of Heaven laughed again, obviously looking forward to it.

But thinking about the follow-up, he became serious again, looking at Danube and said, "Nao'er, before you returned to the palace, the battle report from the front said that you had fallen. I am deeply saddened by this, and I have no appetite day and night..."

Danube was immediately moved and said, "Father, you have been exhausted for me, and I feel very sorry for you..."

"Donau, you are my son after all! How can I not worry about you?"

The Emperor of Heaven showed a gentle expression: "But knowing that you have returned safely today, the pain in my heart has disappeared, replaced by fanatical joy! If it weren't for the fact that we are surrounded by foreign enemies, I would even like to hold a celebration banquet for you!"

Danube immediately said: "Father, I did not win this battle, but was defeated miserably. I only managed to survive by chance. This is not a glorious thing, but a shame, and it is not worth celebrating..."

"That being said, you are the only one among so many people who went to fight against the invading monks. You and a few others have returned alive. This is something to be very proud of."

The Emperor of Heaven said this, and then said decisively: "Regarding the future arrangements, Nauer, do you have any ideas?"

Danube said seriously: "Father, I still want to return to my previous position as the head of the palace guards! While striving to break through the Divine Hidden Realm, I will swear allegiance to you and protect you!"

The Emperor of Heaven was a little surprised. He didn't expect that after his son returned home after surviving a life-threatening situation, the first thing he would consider was not rest and seclusion, but to protect himself?

"Good son!" The Emperor of Heaven praised in his heart, and then looked at Wu Xian behind him: "Wu Xian, what do you think?"

Wu Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty Danube has passed the two magic mirrors and many tests, which shows his loyalty to Your Majesty. I think it is appropriate for him to return to the palace... After all, to break through the Divine Hidden Realm, you can't just rely on blind seclusion."

"Is it?"

The Emperor of Heaven nodded slightly, and then said: "Nao'er, considering your ardent sincerity, I will satisfy you! From now on, you will continue to serve in the palace as the commander of the guards!"

A look of gratitude appeared on Danube's face: "Thank you, father!"

Then he knelt on the ground.

……

This impromptu court meeting ended after an hour.

Some of the ministers left, while others approached Danube to greet and chat with him.

The Emperor of Heaven left through the passage at the end of the palace, aided by eunuchs.

He was also accompanied by the mysterious witch.

Danube was originally accustomed to the existence of the wizard and had no curiosity about him.

But because of Chu Jing's influence, he also looked at a few more witches and immortals when the meeting was over, but he didn't find anything new.

"Your Majesty, if you have time, you can come to my house and have a visit... I will prepare fairy food for you..."

After exchanging greetings with a minister of the first rank, Donau took Jemma out of the palace.

"Woooooooo..."

As soon as she walked out of the palace, Gemma couldn't hold it in anymore and started crying.

Danube looked back at her, pity in his eyes.

During the entire court meeting, except for the beginning when the Emperor of Heaven became curious about Zhenma's identity and spoke a few words to her.

The subsequent time has basically nothing to do with Gemma.

She received no concern, nor did she receive any follow-up arrangements from the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven obviously treated her as air and left her to fend for herself.

Danube saw everything and knew that his sister was very pitiful.

"Brother, do I still have a chance to leave the palace and see him?"

Zhenma cried for a while, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Danube with her red and swollen eyes, her eyes full of expectation.

Danube thought for a moment and said, "But didn't you want to leave him not long ago?"

"I……"

Gemma's face turned sad again.

That's because as a princess, she had experienced too long a life of slavery, and this huge gap had already broken her heart.

She also wanted to escape from her status as a slave and return to her past carefree life!

But after experiencing the indifference just now, she was finally defeated by reality.

Even if she returned to the palace, she could not live under the sun.

instead.

Neither she nor her mother were favored and had no presence in the palace.

Even if he died, the emperor might not even blink an eye.

This cold family love was so cruel that even Gemma returned to reality.

She found that she could only be truly carefree when she stayed with Chu Jing.

After all, her only duty was to serve Chu Jing.

As for other things, Chu Jing can do it for her.

"Brother, people always turn back after hitting a wall..."

Zhenma was still crying, with a self-deprecating expression on her face: "Now I finally understand why you are not interested in going home... I have also changed my mind. I want to leave this cage forever and serve him forever!"

As she said this, her expression gradually became firm and the tears in her eyes gradually dried up.

And when she mentioned "him", her eyes shone with admiration.

Danube saw this and thought that his imperial sister had finally become enlightened.

"Sister, I'm not sure he will accept you, but I'm sure you'll have another chance to see him soon..."

Danube thought about it and said seriously.

"Yes! It's enough for me to meet him! Whether he will let me stay by his side depends on my performance and efforts!"

Zhenma is not stupid. Although Chu Jing didn't say anything, she can feel that she is actually an insignificant existence next to Chu Jing.

It’s just that Chu Jing’s character and morals are far higher than her biological father’s, so he didn’t act too cold towards her.

"Jemma, you finally got the truth..."

Danube smiled, "After all, that lady has taught you some magic. During this period, you should master the magic and strive to reach a higher level in cultivation... If you show enough talent, I believe that lady will change her mind and let you stay by her side when we meet in the future. As long as you can stay by her side, you may have a glimmer of hope to enter the realm of divine seclusion in the future!"

"Me? Gemma? Disappearing?"

When Zhenma heard this, she was completely confused.

As a delicate little girl, even though she practiced cultivation, she didn't really take it seriously.

Firstly, there is a serious trend of favoring boys over girls in the Heavenly Palace.

Secondly, she didn't have any teacher who taught her Taoism, and she basically practiced on her own.

So.

She never imagined herself becoming a powerful monk.

Now, hearing what Donau said out of the blue, she was filled with shock. She gradually began to feel that, although her brother's words were ridiculous... but dreams are something that cannot be lost!

What if it comes true someday?

"Brother, I understand! I will practice hard during this period of time! I will never let him down!"

Having said this, Zhenma's face became more determined, and she seemed to have transformed from a delicate and weak woman into a female knight.

"very good."

Danube was very pleased with this. He nodded and patted Zhenma on the shoulder: "I hope you can surprise me next time we meet."

"Brother, I will try my best! But in the coming days, what exactly are you going to do for him?"

Gemma asked curiously.

Honestly.

She still doesn't quite understand Danube's real plan!

After all, Danube is also a dull person and would not take the initiative to reveal such things to her.

Danube thought for a moment and said, "As long as he can find a way to pass through the palace magic mirror, I will create an opportunity for him to become famous, and then I will recruit him on behalf of the palace guards... Once all the procedures are passed, he will be able to enter the palace smoothly, and then I will find a way to place him near the Fushou Palace. Although I can't do anything about entering the Fushou Palace, with his strength, he should be able to do it."
