Chapter 648 Meeting Emperor Qian, an important choice

Liu Yu looked around and saw that the cultivation levels of the various monks in the palace had improved compared to when they were in Yunzhou.

If there are three or four golden elixirs among the two hundred monks outside the "Demon Suppression City", then at this time in the teleportation hall of Xuanyuan City, there are at least seven among the two hundred monks.

He was not surprised by this ratio.

On the one hand, as the birthplace of the human race and the most elite place in the entire Central Territory, the core Nine Continents are naturally not comparable to ordinary continents.

The richer the overall aura of heaven and earth, the more spiritual beings can be nurtured and support the promotion of more monks.

On the other hand, the core nine continents have had outstanding people since ancient times, and their overall qualifications for cultivating immortals are indeed much higher than those of other continents.

Finally, monks who teleport across continents are generally not ordinary monks.

It is a matter of course that one should surpass ordinary monks in cultivation or in some aspects.

"Among the approximately two hundred monks, there are seven or eight Jindan monks. Occasionally, you can still see the old monster Nascent Soul."

"This ratio has far exceeded that of Tiannan."

Looking at the surrounding environment calmly, this thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

"It's no wonder that Master Jin Dan has almost no privileges."

"In the Central Territory, just the Golden Core realm is indeed relatively ordinary."

"Perhaps you can only shake things up a little if you reach the realm of Nascent Soul, especially in the core nine continents."

Silently watching the various monks coming and going in the teleportation hall, various thoughts flashed in his mind, estimating the "status" of the Golden Pill monks.

It is extremely dangerous to rashly act beyond one's status. If you are not careful, you will be regarded as a thorn in others' eyes and a thorn in their flesh. Liu Yu has always kept this in mind.

It is particularly important to accurately understand one's position when one's strength is not enough to ignore everything.

This is just a small town on the edge of Shenzhou. When it comes to Shenjing, the capital of Daqian, it would not be surprising if the ratio increases even more.

A group of six people walked down the teleportation array one after another, and the Zhang family's strong network was activated again. Zhang Ziping soon arranged the next teleportation.

It was only because Zhang Yi's cultivation level was too low that he did not teleport immediately.

After all, the distance between continents in the Central Region is often more than 100,000 miles, and it is not surprising that it is hundreds of thousands of miles away, but it is not comparable to the continents of Chu State.

If you just barely calculate it, it can be called a medium-distance teleportation.

During the Qi refining period, even with the protection of the teleportation talisman, the adverse reactions caused by teleportation cannot be completely eliminated, and it will take a certain amount of time to alleviate them.

"That's it."

After resting for a quarter of an hour and seeing that Zhang Yi had recovered, Liu Yu said to Zhang Ziping.

Considering the child's cultivation level, Zhang Ziping specially prepared the most expensive and best teleportation talisman for him to minimize the sequelae of teleportation, so the recovery was faster than imagined.

Zhang Ziping nodded and walked towards the huge teleportation array on one side first, followed closely by Liu Yu and the others.

"buzz"

When the teleportation aura lit up, the "teleportation talisman" in the hands of the six people also burned instantly and turned into a transparent shield to protect the initiator.

In the dazzling light, six figures disappeared instantly.

…

The consciousness was in a trance, as if a moment had passed, and then it seemed that a long time had passed.

As the core nine continents, Shenzhou is wider than many monks imagined. According to unofficial statistics, it is as big as several Chu states.

Therefore, the oppression caused by this transmission is greater than imagined.

Except for Liu Yu, who was physically strong, Zhang Ziping, Zhuo Mengzhen and others all suffered from varying degrees of adverse symptoms, and Zhang Yi almost collapsed to the ground.

If Liu Yu hadn't supported him in time, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

"This kind of spiritual pressure belongs to the True Lord Nascent Soul!"

Grabbing Zhang Yi with one hand, Liu Yu's keen spiritual sense was touched, and she suddenly turned her head and looked around.

Just then, he saw two Nascent Soul Lords, who were filled with powerful spiritual pressure, walking out of the teleportation array not far away.

"According to Guo Poyun, Zhang Tao and others, if you want to gain a foothold in Daqian Shenjing, you need at least the cultivation level of Jindan realm."

"I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that it is indeed true."

"The so-called "Jindan Zhenren" is really not outstanding when he comes to Daqian's Shenjing."

"Everyone is gone."

Not daring to look at True Lord Yuanying recklessly, Liu Yu quickly looked away.

He thought to himself as he watched the monks coming and going in the hall and felt the golden elixir level spiritual pressure on their bodies.

It is very rude to glance at others with your spiritual consciousness and may be considered offensive.

There were many experts at the scene, but Liu Yu did not do this before he was familiar with the environment.

Although the techniques of "Chen Shen Miao Dharma" and "Youmeng Heart Sutra" have been integrated.

But who knows how far the research on the Yuan Shen Dao in the Central Region has reached at this time. Maybe some monks will be able to notice his glance.

Be cautious and don't release your spiritual consciousness.

Thinking like this, Liu Yu showed a wry smile.

This feeling is indeed not very good. Although the strength has not weakened, the status has been greatly reduced due to environmental changes.

This means that in future actions, there will be more things to consider and more constraints.

"Let's go."

After resting for about a quarter of an hour, when Zhang Yi recovered, Liu Yu and Zhang Ziping looked at each other and walked out of the teleportation hall under the leadership of the latter.

It can be clearly felt that Zhang Ziping, who is in Shenjing, the capital of Daqian, and a member of the Huashen family, has also begun to become serious, and is no longer as careless as before.

After all, Shenjing is a place for social gatherings. Most of the elites from the ninety-nine continents in the Central Region will come here to travel and stay for a while.

And across the Ninety-Nine Continents, although there are few gods-level forces, even if there is only one in several continents, there are dozens of them in the Ninety-nine Continents.

Not to mention, there is also a "holy land" on which ancient spiritual treasures can be mastered, which can temporarily display the Void Refining level combat power when fully sublimated, as well as the Daqian royal family, the nominal controller of the Central Territory.

Of course, the most important thing is cultivation.

When you look around in Shenjing, you can see Jindan monks almost everywhere, and occasionally you can see the figure of True Lord Nascent Soul.

When the elders are not around, it is natural to keep a low profile.

"tread"

It was not as high-profile as expected. After Zhang Ziping took out the jade token and sent out a message, everyone walked out of the hall together.

Mixed in the crowd, the combination of five golden elixirs and one qi refining person really didn't stand out at all in Shenjing.

After crossing the threshold and walking out of the main hall, the sight suddenly widened, and a slightly noisy fairy city came into view.

The streets are spacious and clean, the buildings are neatly planned, and they are antique with a touch of grandeur.

The long street outside the teleportation hall looks like a lively market, with shops selling various treasures on both sides, and their signs are all eye-catching.

"Elixirs", "spiritual herbs" and "magic weapons"

"Spirit Ship", "Puppet" and "Formation"

Almost everything you need to practice immortality and various arts can be found in the shops on both sides of the long street.

Liu Yu glanced around and saw that golden elixir monks could be seen everywhere, while the Qi Refining and Foundation Building monks were mostly servants, following around and serving them carefully.

Even if he wasn't, he was still cautious when walking, for fear of offending even a senior expert with great background and causing unexpected disaster.

The Jindan monks held their heads high and walked with the confidence of "Shenjing monks", and their mental outlook was obviously better than that of monks from other regions in every move.

Liu Yu keenly discovered that those Jindan monks who were followed by followers not only had gleaming clothes, but even some of their accessories faintly exuded magic weapon-level power.

The equipment is so sophisticated, even if the combat experience is slightly lower, the strength is far beyond that of ordinary monks.

At the very least, dealing with one or two Zhuo Mengzhen is not a problem at all.

Correspondingly, there is the golden elixir monk who does not even have robes.

Most of these people were alone, occasionally stopping in front of some shops, but in the end they did not choose to go in to ask for prices.

The first one has many magic weapons and a large number of followers coming and going, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with his head held high and his chest high, full of confidence.

Perhaps an inconspicuous follower plays the role of "protector" or "grandfather", so that he does not need to worry about disaster caused by exposure of wealth.

One of them was alone, with no magic weapon visible from his whole body. He passed by one store after another, but after much hesitation, he still did not choose to enter.

Although they are both golden elixirs, the contrast between them is sharp.

While walking, Liu Yu caught sight of this scene, and he gained a deeper understanding of the conversation he had with Guo Poyun when he left Annan Six Continents.

Without stopping too much along the way, with Zhang Ziping leading the way, the group walked through the streets and alleys towards the center of Shenjing City.

Judging from his familiar appearance, this might not be his first time here.

"Whizzing"

After walking through a long street lined with shops on both sides, and arriving at the busy street, the sound of light whizzing across the sky suddenly reached my ears.

Liu Yu looked up and saw an occasional ray of light rising in the sky, and then falling somewhere in the city.

From these escaping lights, there are all extremely powerful auras, as well as spiritual pressure as high as mountains and seas.

True Lord Yuanying!

As the "first city in the Central Region" and at the "foot of the Emperor", the Divine Capital City has its own laws, and the entire Immortal City is shrouded in a fifth-level formation.

Perhaps it is to reflect the majesty of the Immortal Dynasty, or perhaps it is to let the immortal cultivators understand that this is not a "lawless place". Shenjing has its own set of operating rules, which is completely different from other immortal cities.

Those who have not reached the Nascent Soul realm are prohibited from flying in the air.

Violators will be attacked by the fifth-level formation, and even if they do not die, they will be seriously injured, and will be severely punished in the future.

Of course, there are a few exceptions.

For example, in the True Legend of the Holy Land, as soon as you enter the Divine Palace, you will receive a token. Even if your cultivation level is not at the Nascent Soul realm, you will not be attacked by the fifth-level formation.

The reason for such special treatment is ultimately due to strength.

Although the major holy places are far inferior to the Daqian Immortal Dynasty in terms of overall strength, they also have the God Transformation Lord and ancient spiritual treasures, and can compete with them in terms of peak combat power.

Among the ninety-nine continents in the Central Region, the Holy Land often actually controls several continents. Although they appear to be subordinate to the Great Qian, in reality they are almost on an equal footing.

If Da Gan presses too hard and all the major holy places unite, an earth-shattering civil strife will surely break out in the Central Realm's Immortal Cultivation World, giving the covetous demon clan an opportunity to take advantage.

In addition, there are the three immortal realms of Donghuang, Beiyuan and West Desert, which are all uncertain factors for Daqian to wipe out the Holy Land.

The relationship between Daqian and the Holy Land, to use a vivid metaphor, is like that between the secular emperor and the major princes.

Although the emperor was apparently supreme, the princes also had their own armies and a complete top-down governance system.

"In addition to reaching the Nascent Soul realm and being able to fly away, as well as the true inheritance of the Daqian royal family and the Holy Land, there is another way to fly away in this divine capital."

"That is to buy Daqian's official fourth-level spiritual ship at a high price."

"It's just the price."

Looking at the ray of light that occasionally flashed across the sky, information about Shenjing flashed in Liu Yu's mind.

"It's better to be a sect."

The various restrictions in Shenjing made him recall the special treatment in the sect, and he sighed sincerely.

…

Shenjing, the capital of Daqian, was bigger than expected. Under the leadership of Zhang Ziping, Liu Yu and the others walked quickly for half an hour.

A group of magnificent palaces appeared in sight from afar.

Damn the palace!

This palace complex is located in the center of Shenjing. Almost every thirty steps, there is a forbidden soldier with a cultivation level at the peak of foundation building standing guard.

Every two hundred steps, there is a captain of the imperial army who is in the golden elixir realm.

The Imperial Guards looked at every visitor with a serious look on their face.

The dignified Jindan monk can only play the role of gatekeeper, which shows how powerful the Daqian royal family is!

A high city wall surrounded the splendid palaces. There was a faint aura flickering on the city wall, and occasionally mysterious runes flashed away.

This city wall is not only made entirely of second-level spiritual materials, but also has key supports and third-level spiritual materials that can be used to refine magic weapons.

Even if the formation is not activated, it is still enough to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of a large group of Jindan monks.

And according to the data, the palace is also protected by an additional fifth-level formation, which is as impregnable as gold. It is a veritable "city within a city"!

"He who comes is stopped!"

Thirty steps away from the palace gate, a Jindan imperial guard guarding the palace gate stepped forward and blocked the way of Liu Yu and the six others.

"I am from the Zhang family"

Zhang Ziping smiled and politely stepped forward to negotiate without getting angry at being stopped.

As he spoke, he took out a token engraved with the family crest and gave it to the Golden Core Forbidden Army for inspection.

"Hold on."

Hearing that it was the Zhang family of Annan Six Continents, the expressions of the Jindan Forbidden Army immediately softened a lot, and they took the token and said politely.

"Word has been passed down in the palace a long time ago that Taoist friends from the Zhang family are allowed to come in for an audience today."

"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. Someone from the palace will come to greet you later."

After verifying that the token was correct, the Jindan Forbidden Army said politely and handed the token back to Zhang Ziping with his own hands.

"clear."

After the negotiation was completed, the six people waited at the palace gate for a short time before a palace official with a feminine aura came out to greet them.

The physical body is incomplete, so it is naturally difficult to condense the golden elixir. The end of cultivation is the peak of foundation building.

Of course, except for those who wield their swords from the palace after forming the elixir, it is not surprising that people from the Golden elixir palace appear.

"tread"

Under the guidance of the palace servants, Liu Yu and the others passed through the palace gate and walked among the splendid palaces.

Each palace is at least ten feet high. If it is not noon, the sun will hardly shine on the road.

Even though the surroundings are magnificent, there is still a vague feeling of eeriness.

Feeling the powerful aura that emerges from time to time in the palace complex, even the Golden Core monks can't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

After walking like this for about half a quarter of an hour, the six of them gradually approached the core area of ​​the palace complex and came to a huge gatehouse filled with a chilling atmosphere.

"Arch de Triomphe"

On both sides of the gate tower, there are two teams of guards wearing magic weapon-level golden armor, both of whom are in the Golden Core realm.

Seeing the six people coming, the qi machines immediately moved and locked the five Liu Yu people from a distance.

"Kingwu Guard"

Looking at the guard wearing golden spiritual armor in front of him, this word naturally came to Liu Yu's mind.

The Jinwu Guard is a team of monks directly under the command of the Daqian royal family. It is said that the selection is extremely strict.

Not only does the minimum cultivation level have to reach the late Golden Core stage, but there are also requirements for actual combat strength.

He has quite a reputation throughout the Central Region, and is usually ordered by the Daqian royal family to perform some special tasks.

"Fellow Taoist Ziping, can you?"

At this time, Liu Yu's eyes flashed, as if he had made a decision, and he suddenly sent out a spiritual message.

Zhang Ziping was a little surprised when he heard this, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he nodded in the end.

…

In the Shenjing City during the summer solstice, six monks with tired faces and dusty faces entered the Daqian Palace under the leadership of a team of Jinwu guards.

Pass through the east pavilion gate of Xuanzheng Hall and enter Zichen Hall.

This is where the Immortal Emperor listens to government affairs and meets with envoys.

In the palace, all the officials have arrived, and hundreds of officials have gathered.

Powerful auras filled the air, and the whole hall was filled with True Lord Nascent Soul.

There was silence in the hall, and many monks with strong auras looked toward the door of the hall from time to time, waiting for people from Annan Six Continents.

After all, it is related to the Annan Six Continents, even in the entire Central Region. It is not a trivial matter and has long attracted the attention of many forces.

Leaving Zhang Yi, Zhuo Mengzhen, and two Zhang family monks at the "Arc de Triomphe", the figures of Zhang Ziping and Liu Yu gradually appeared in the sight of the Nascent Soul Lord.

And just when the two of them appeared at the entrance of the hall, a figure with an unfathomable aura quietly appeared on the dragon chair in the center of the hall.

This person is wearing a black costume, embroidered with twelve chapters such as the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, Zongyi, algae, fire, pink rice, 黼, 黻 and so on.

Because of the obstruction of the crown, his face is somewhat unclear, but judging from his unfathomable Qi, there is no doubt that his cultivation is the highest in the palace.

Transformation of God into God!

It was the first time that he was at such a close distance and came into contact with so many high-level monks. Liu Yu immediately felt a chill in his heart and lowered his head slightly to follow Zhang Ziping.

What he is playing now is an ordinary Zhang family monk.

Because of insufficient cultivation, the strength of the Golden Core Realm is in the middle region, which is simply not enough to protect oneself and cannot withstand even the slightest bit of malice.

Therefore, when he arrived at the Arc de Triomphe, Liu Yu finally made the decision not to reveal his identity from Tiannan for the time being.

He planned to find an opportunity to convey the information given by the Seven Nations Alliance to the Daqian court and that would complete the task.

After all, you only live once, and you can never be too careful.

Exposing one's identity may have astonishing benefits, but with Liu Yu's current level of strength, he may not be able to digest it safely.

Compared to Tiannan, the status of Jindan monks in the Central Territory is far from the upper echelons.

If there is a force that does not want the Central Territory to get in touch with Tiannan again due to interests and other reasons, and sends a Nascent Soul Lord to do something secretly, then...

With the Immortal Mansion as his backing, Liu Yu did not think that he would fall into mediocrity even in the middle realm where there were outstanding people.

Therefore, it is better to choose to play slowly and steadily.

If it weren't for the "Ningying Pill", "Golden Formation Pill", etc., the key resources that must be fought for, one would never risk one's life easily.

"Bye."

Zhang Ziping bowed deeply, then lowered his head and spoke, telling information about the six Annan continents.

The news had already been conveyed to the Daqian court, and this visit was just a formal notification.

So even though he was a little nervous, this person still spoke clearly and said the news sentence by sentence.
