Chapter 438 Heavenly Level, Yunzhong Temple! (2-in-1)
At night, in the courtyard of a guest room.
Song Changming sat cross-legged on a rock, running witchcraft and refining techniques on the moon, refining the yin energy pouring down.
While growing his body and strength, he was also refining his sixth witch seal.
The sacrifice of this witch seal is not easy, even a little difficult.
This is already the fourth year that he has been refining this witch seal, and he still has not completed the refining.
On the one hand, this Witch Soldier Seal is indeed much more difficult to refine than his previous five Witch Soldier Seals.
On the other hand, the power of the Witch Soldier Seal that his physical body could carry was close to its limit, which invisibly increased the difficulty of the sacrifice.
Even Song Changming was not sure whether his current physical strength could support him in completely refining the witch seal.
If it doesn't work, then he can only temporarily shelve the process of refining the witch seal and wait for the strength of his physical body to catch up before continuing the refining process.
The practice of witchcraft and refining is the most urgent matter.
Song Changming wouldn't do it forcefully, otherwise he would be really doomed if he couldn't do it well and burst his body.
After a hearty training session, Song Changming immediately stopped.
The unfinished witch seal on his throat also disappeared.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but in the Yundi City on the sea, I just feel that even the moon in the sky is rounder than outside.
The results of his practice were much better than when he was outside.
"It's really a geomantic treasure land." Song Changming said to himself.
Listening to King Cui's description, the greatest value of this spiritual sea is not the islands floating on the sea.
What is in the sea is the greatest treasure house.
Sea plants, aura fish, sea crystals.
Those things in the sea that are repeatedly baptized by spiritual energy and constantly generated are the most precious.
If there wasn't a mission on this trip, Song Changming would really want to go out to sea and experience this aura sea area more closely.
After the emperor's banquet is over, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to have some fun.
He followed King Cui this time simply because he wanted to gain more knowledge. Whether it was the Cloud Emperor or this sea of spiritual energy treasures, he was more curious about it.
Just when Song Changming was about to continue studying the method of opening a mansion, he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the mansion.
"Lao Hu, you are finally here. Why are you so late this year?"
Song Changming moved his feet and came to the main courtyard where King Cui was.
As King Cui's entourage, he also plays the role of guard. This time someone unexpectedly visits, he needs to follow him.
As soon as he reached the main courtyard with his front legs, he saw that the visitor had also arrived with his hind legs.
There were two people in total, both of them were tall and tall, over two meters tall, and their arms were thicker than the thighs of ordinary people.
As they approached, even the courtyard gate seemed narrow.
The royal robe worn by the first person also showed his identity, and he was one of the kings from all over the world who participated in the imperial banquet.
"Brother Li, long time no see. How are you?"
King Cui opened the door and walked out, greeting him with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Song Changming understood that the visitor had a close relationship with King Cui, which was different from the King Rui he had encountered before.
Thinking about it, among the thirty-six kings, they all know each other, and there are some who have grudges and enemies during festivals, and naturally there are also relatives and friends.
"Don't mention it. There are a lot of troubles in the territory. I really can't get away this time. When the emperor's banquet is over, I have to rush back." King Cui shook his head and said.
Facing the person in front of him, he no longer put on any airs of being a king.
Song Changming knew that the trouble King Cui was talking about was the Changsheng Su family.
With King Cui greatly deducting the 'tribute' to the Su family, the secret conflict between King Cui and the Su family has become very acute. King Cui is worried that the immortal Su family will cause some trouble in his absence. I have concerns.
Therefore, he put off the day of setting off for the Cloud Emperor City as long as he could, and did not want to go out for too long.
"That's really a pity. I originally wanted to travel with you for a while after this, but now it seems there is no chance." After hearing this, Xia Wang Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said.
He didn't interfere too much. Things in their respective fiefdoms were still a bit sensitive. The parties involved didn't say much, and it was inconvenient for outsiders to ask more questions, even if the relationship between the two was irreconcilable.
Li Xuan turned his attention to Song Changming, changed the subject and asked, "Why don't you bring Xiao Huo this time?"
Obviously, he still remembers Hu Donghuo, the junior member of the family that King Cui brought last time.
As for Song Changming, it was his first time meeting him, and he looked very familiar.
"Donghuo came here last time, and this time he brought other juniors to see the world." King Cui said.
"Just sent here to see the world?" Li Xuan looked at King Cui with a half-smile but said.
He knew this old friend very well. If the boy in front of him was not more outstanding, King Cui would not have given up Hu Donghuo and brought Song Changming with him.
After all, Yunzhongdou is an arena based on potential and strength. Once the performance of the person participating in the battle is too bad, the king who comes with him will also be disgraced.
"Haha." King Cui smiled and his eyes also fell on the strong man next to his old friend.
"This one is also very unfamiliar. Why don't you tell me?"
Li Xuan's eyes showed a bit of self-satisfaction, and he said: "This is the king of Cuibai Road, and you are still not polite."
When the strong man heard the words, he immediately took a step forward, with a wild aura all over his body, cupped his hands and said: "Zixia Dao, Hong Zhen, has seen King Cui."
"Changming." King Cui nodded, and then said hello to Song Changming beside him.
"Cuibai said, Song Changming, I have met King Xia." Song Changming bowed in return.
Song Changming has been in Yunzhou for so many years, and he has memorized the thirty-six boundaries of Yunzhou.
Among them is Zixia Road. Geographically, Zixia Road is located to the northeast of Cuibai Road, not too far away.
Once in the past, he led his troops to the border area of Zixia Road and was ordered to perform a mission.
In terms of topography, there is actually not much difference between Zixia Road and Cuibai Road.
It's just that in comparison, Zixia Road's population, urban development, and even military strength have always been better than Cuibai Road's, and it can be regarded as a more prosperous area than Cuibai Road.
The reason why Cuibai Road is not as good as that of Zixia Road is that on the one hand, the Xia King in front of him has good governance, and on the other hand, Zixia Road does not have the immortal Su family to lie down and suck blood, so it can naturally develop better.
This is also one of the main reasons why King Cui wants to overthrow the Changsheng Su family.
In King Cui's view, as long as the Changsheng Su family is still there, it will be difficult for Cuibai Road to develop significantly in the next few hundred years, and it will never be comparable to the fiefdoms of other kings.
"Innate realm?" Li Xuan looked Song Changming up and down, and realized that Song Changming had not yet entered the Grandmaster realm, and instantly understood his friend's intention.
While Li Xuan was sizing up Song Changming, King Cui was also observing the 'newcomers' brought by him.
At the same time, King Cui quickly realized that this newcomer was also an innate warrior, and couldn't help but complain.
"Brother Li, you have thought of me together."
This time at the Emperor's Banquet, both of them were obviously focused on the competition in the Xiantian group, and neither of them planned to work hard in the Grandmaster group. "That's such a pity, Lao Hu, I will definitely win this time." Li Xuan said with a smile.
Clearly, he has confidence in the people he brought in.
"That's a coincidence. I'm equally confident in the people I brought." King Cui didn't panic, calmly stroking his beard and smiling.
"Oh?!" Li Xuan glanced at Song Changming again, and suddenly suggested: "Why don't we compete with each other first and decide the difference in advance?"
"Haha, Brother Li is in a hurry?" King Cui flipped his hands and found two more bottles of wine and a chessboard on the table in the courtyard.
"Let's leave the suspense until two days later."
Two days later, the emperor's banquet began.
"That's fine." Li Xuan didn't insist too much and sat on the stone bench, leisurely drinking and playing chess with Prince Cui.
Song Changming noticed that the man named Hong Zhen was staring at him.
Although the two did not fight tonight, after the conversation between the two kings, it was natural that the two had a competitive relationship with each other.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Hong Zhen looks burly and mature, but his actual age is the same as Song Changming, less than a hundred years old.
It's just that in appearance, Song Changming is much younger.
Reaching the realm of innate perfection at the age of less than a hundred years old is in itself an extremely talented person.
Although he has not broken through to the Grandmaster realm, it can be seen that the people brought by King Xia are very capable, and their strength must not be comparable to ordinary Xiantian Yuanman realm warriors.
After playing chess all night, Li Xuan won more pieces. Before the imperial banquet started, he defeated King Cui on the chessboard first.
"Brother Li, you won this time. If you lose next time in Yunzhong Dou, you won't be able to blame me." King Cui stood up and said.
Li Xuan laughed twice, with a bold voice.
"Lao Hu, I just like your confidence."
After that, King Xia left with his entourage.
King Cui stood with his hands behind his hands and watched his friend leave with a smile.
Seeing this, Song Changming retreated to his yard.
In the next two days, King Cui met many royal families one after another, as well as some old acquaintances from Yundi City.
Song Changming followed him all the way. Because he was a new face, he attracted a lot of attention from the royal family. He seemed familiar to all the kings.
After that, the long-awaited imperial banquet officially began!
Early in the morning, three officials came to Prince Cui's Mansion with an edict in hand, asking Prince Cui to go to the Yunzhong Hall for a banquet.
Don't think this official is weak, but even King Cui has to bow to him and don't dare to be rude.
Of course, the object of King Cui's salute was the emperor's edict, but it was not really the messenger officials in these three palaces.
"Where's Mr. Shao? Why didn't he come to my place this year?" King Cui couldn't help but ask after he saluted and received the edict.
The two young officials following behind looked at each other, confused.
But the older official at the head replied: "Back to King Cui, Master Shao passed away ten years ago."
This answer surprised King Cui.
"Is he sick?"
"No, it's just that the deadline has come and I have to leave," the official explained.
After hearing this, King Cui sighed softly and shook his head.
"It's a pity. Mr. Shao helped me a lot back then, but I never thought that I would never see him again."
Cui Wanggui is a powerful master, so he naturally has a long life.
But many of his old acquaintances could not live such a long life. If he was not careful, everyone around him would become a pile of dust.
"Let's go, lead the way." King Cui didn't feel the emotion for too long, and quickly recovered from his emotions.
Song Changming also followed him out of the door.
He originally thought that the emperor's banquet would start in the evening, but he never thought that it would start early this morning.
Soon, he followed them to the thousands of stone steps again. This time they didn't waste much time and started climbing up the stone steps step by step.
Since these officials were leading the way, the climbing speed was not too fast, one step at a time, and every stone step was not skipped. This was also out of respect for Emperor Nayun.
Climbing the stone steps in front of the Yunzhong Palace, everyone must take one step at a time, and all the kings are no exception.
Therefore, King Cui did not dare to act independently and followed the officials honestly.
Looking up, Song Changming soon discovered that there were many figures following on the stone steps, also climbing there. Song Changming and King Cui were not alone.
Among them are officials from the Imperial City, as well as shadows of other great kings.
Song Changming keenly caught the figure of King Xia, and took one step ahead, not far from Song Changming's location with his entourage.
King Xia also noticed the arrival of King Cui's group, and seemed to deliberately slow down his climbing speed. Not long after, he was chased by King Cui Song Changming, and they walked with each other talking and laughing.
It wasn't until an hour later that everyone stepped over the stairs and almost reached mid-air.
Only now did Song Changming finally understand why he had to get this edict early in the morning and start entering the palace.
If it were not so early, just climbing the stone steps would take a lot of time to gather all the royal family decently.
Standing outside the Jinluan Palace, surrounded by cool spiritual winds and drifting clouds, Song Changming had reason to suspect that this was the place with the richest spiritual energy in the city and even the entire sea of spiritual energy.
Standing here is like standing in the clouds, overlooking the whole city, islands, and even the aura sea in the distance.
Looking back at the Yunzhong Temple behind me, if I hadn't understood it before, I would have just thought that this place should be the residence of the gods and the palace in the sky.
clang!
The sound of bells and chimes came from the palace, like fairy music.
Outside the palace gate, there were many palace maids holding flower baskets, scattering the petals of spiritual flowers into the sea of air and mist.
At the same time, there was a path covered with petals under Song Changming's feet, passing through the wide-open palace door and leading directly into the palace.
Under the huge palace, everyone unconsciously looked small and felt a sense of respect.
Song Changming knew clearly that this was another influence of the emperor's power on everyone's mentality.
Compared to what was felt outside the city, the power of the emperor felt here was only heavier.
King Cui and King Xia in front of them seemed to have been accustomed to the power of this place, and were not affected at all. They walked into the palace while chatting and laughing with each other.
Song Changming and King Na Xia, who arrived for the first time, were all nervous and had not yet adapted well to the power of heaven here.
Song Changming was actually doing better. He caught up with King Cui first and his expression gradually softened.
Hong Zhen clenched his fists and had a stern face, as if he was holding his breath and could not relax.
