Baiyujing.
The first level of the former Imperial Prison is now called Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Originally, the cabinet was planning to name this layer directly the fairyland or heaven, but Xu Chong thought it was too unlucky, so he decided to name it the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
I have to say, whether it is the fairyland, the heavenly world, or the heaven beyond heaven, they are all very appropriate to describe the first level at this time.
On the endless sea of ​​clouds, more than a thousand magnificent palaces stand, surrounded by seven-colored auspicious lights.
This scene alone can completely satisfy people's imagination of the fairyland.
Not to mention, Xu Chong has adjusted the forbidden land here to almost nothing, so that everyone can exert all their previous strength here.
Compared with the six floors below, Tianwai Tian deserves its name.
Of course, there are not many people who are qualified to enter this level at present.
In addition to the central institutions of the court such as the Cabinet, Six Ministries, and Five Temples, the managers of the entire Baiyujing were left on this level. For the time being, there are only the Hua family headed by Hua Nong Yue, and the new Emperor Qing, Jiang Shengjun.
Even the more than one million members of the royal family had to retreat to a lower level.
Oh, it’s worth mentioning that Li Xiangxue led the entire Taiping Dao to submit to the imperial court...or to Xu Chong.
Now Li Xiangxue has transformed from the leader of the Taiping Dao into the grand elder of the Yin-Yang Temple.
Yes, Xu Chong rebuilt the Yin-Yang Temple here.
Hua Nong Yue is the master of the Divine Palace, and Li Xiangxue is the chief elder of the Divine Palace.
However, in order to prevent management chaos, Xu Chong also set several rules.
First of all, the Yin-Yang Temple and the imperial court are completely on the same level, and there is no such thing as who commands whom or who is subordinate to whom.
The imperial court is responsible for all military, political, people's livelihood, resources, economy and other aspects in Baiyujing, and is mainly responsible for ordinary people. The Yin-Yang Temple is responsible for all practitioners except officials, and it only has the right to accept disciples from ordinary people.
It's a bit like the kingdom of cultivation.
At this time, there were several figures standing at the entrance of the main hall of the shrine.
Palace Master Hua Nong Yue, Elder Li Xiangxue, and Emperor Qing Jiang Shengjun.
The three, led by Hua Nong Yue, stood quietly at the entrance of the hall, each with a different expression.
"Mother, mother..."
Suddenly, a childish voice called out from inside the hall.
The three of them changed their expressions and turned around at the same time.
A pink little girl was running towards here quickly.
"Tingyun, when did you wake up?"
Hua Nong Yue squatted down with a smile and opened her arms.
The girl is the daughter of Xu Chong and Hua Nong Yue, named Xu Tingyun, and is now less than two years old.
"I woke up a long time ago. I have been secretly watching you for a long time, but you didn't notice."
Xu Tingyun threw himself into Hua Nongyue's arms and made a face at Li Xiangxue and Jiang Shengjun while answering.
"Well, if you dare to act ugly to me, I will immediately send an army to take you to jail!"
Jiang Shengjun threatened in feigned anger.
"Hehe, Emperor sister, you still want to lie to me."
Xu Tingyun was not afraid at all, and chuckled: "I have asked, and the emperor has to listen to Daddy. With Daddy here, no one dares to bully me."
After hearing this, Jiang Shengjun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, it was a recognized fact.
But Hua Nong Yue's expression changed.
"Your Majesty, the tree in front seems to have a lot of flowers. Why don't you take Tingyun to have a look?"
Hua Nong Yue remained calm and picked up the little girl with a smile.
Jiang Shengjun's eyes lit up, and he took the little girl with a fake grin: "Hehehe, now she's in my hands, right?"
“…”
Xu Tingyun didn't quite understand how he ended up in the hands of the emperor sister, but he didn't panic. He rolled his eyes and hugged Jiang Shengjun's neck, rubbing his cheek against hers affectionately: "Sister is the best, sister won't bully Tingyun..."
"You've already used this trick..."
Jiang Shengjun continued to sneer.
Hua Nongyue quietly watched the two girls, one big and one small, walk away, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"Palace Master, it's Jiang Xinyu, a member of the royal family's Xin generation."
Li Xiangxue's expression straightened up and he replied, "Because of my outstanding aptitude, I was selected as a disciple of the Divine Palace ten days ago."
"The royal family..."
Hua Nongyue's eyes flashed with coldness, "My husband said that sooner or later, the entire Baiyu Capital will become as corrupt as Daqing in the past, but I didn't expect that this day would come so soon, and at such a critical moment...Send that royal family back and let his elders explain themselves."
"clear."
Li Xiangxue took the order and left, his heart filled with anger.
At this time, nearly half a month had passed since the completion of the great migration, but Xu Chong had never shown up.
It was obvious that there was some trouble.
To put it bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his life or death is uncertain.
At this time, the cabinet, Emperor Qing, and the Yin-Yang Palace were all worried about Xu Chong or the future of Baiyujing.
It just so happened that at this time, such a thing happened...
Who would believe me if I say I have no ulterior motives?
Li Xiangxue's eyes were cold and his figure flashed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Hua Nong Yue was the only one left outside the palace gate.
"Why……"
Hua Nong Yue sighed, "If you don't come back, I don't know whether what I did is right or wrong."
"What's right or wrong?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice appeared out of nowhere on the side.
It was Xu Chong.
Hua Nong Yue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hugged Xu Chong without saying a word.
"Gently, gently, this is an illusion, not the real me."
Xu Chong quickly reminded him.
"Transformation?"
Hua Nongyue's body stiffened, and she slowly let go of Xu Chong, with a worried look on her face: "Why?"
" Don't worry."
Xu Chong smiled and pinched Hua Nongyue's face. "I just broke through to a new realm. My soul and body are completely integrated. I lost the ability to incarnate... I only have one real body. If I come in again, Baiyujing will be exposed in the ruins."
"So that's how it is... That means you haven't encountered any danger in the past few days?"
Hua Nong Yue's mood became cheerful again.
"It was a close call."
Xu Chong was as vague as ever, and then changed the subject: " What did you just say was right?"
"Oh, it's Tingyun, just now..."
Hua Nong Yue's attention was successfully diverted, and she repeated what had just happened.
"Is that so?"
Xu Chong nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "You handled it correctly. You didn't kill people out of anger, but you didn't take it lightly either... Well, you already have the demeanor of a palace master."
“No way…”
Hua Nong Yue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she was very excited.
At this time, Jiang Shengjun and Xu Tingyun, who were playing in the distance, also noticed Xu Chong's return.
"Daddy! It's Daddy!"
Xu Tingyun gave up chasing Jiang Shengjun and ran over here, "Daddy is back!"
Xu Chong and Hua Nong Yue stood side by side, waiting with smiles in their eyes.
What a happy picture of a harmonious family.
But in fact, Xu Chong's heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface.
This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had played the role of a father.
There is no doubt that Xu Tingyun has become another untouchable weak spot for him.
Perhaps he won't have much time to accompany her, or maybe he will use his power to spoil his daughter and turn her into a lawless devil...
But he doesn't care.
He only knew that it was his daughter.
No matter who or what entity wants to use or even harm Xu Tingyun in any way, they will definitely face his endless revenge.
…
…
The second floor of Baiyujing.
Crape myrtle sky.
Judging from the buildings alone, there is actually not much difference between this place and Tianwaitian, as there are also endless palaces.
The only thing missing is the sea of ​​clouds and colorful auspiciousness, which makes this place lack a bit of fairyland flavor and feel more real.
At this moment , inside a magnificent palace, a group of old men in luxurious robes were sitting in a row, toasting each other.
Without a doubt, they are all members of the royal family.
In fact, once the great migration plan was proposed, the first to stand up and support it were not the officials, but the royal family.
Because compared to other people, these royal families have always lived in the cave.
In addition, the Tianxuan Realm is destined to be destroyed, so if they could start a new life in a cave, it would be something they would love to have.
Not to mention, this new cave will not decay.
So after only a few days of adapting, these royal families returned to their previous lifestyle, drinking and having fun all day long, living a life of drunkenness and dreams.
However, this group of people seems to be different.
Not only did they hardly talk to each other, they also drank alone, and most of their faces showed resentment.
The only sound in the entire hall was the clinking of wine glasses, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
--Bang!
Suddenly, an old man with a long beard slammed the table and stood up.
"Drink, drink. I drink every day. Is this wine really that delicious?"
The old man glared at everyone and said, "If we don't find a solution, we will never be able to turn things around!"
"Someone, Brother Huaikong is drunk, help him down to rest."
The person closest to him spoke quickly and reached out to pull the old man's sleeve.
"Drunk? What a joke!"
The old man shook his hand violently, breaking free from the pull. “Not to mention that I originally had the Golden Body Realm, even in this Ziwei Heaven, I still retained the power of the Iron Bone Realm. How could I get drunk? Even if you, Jiang Huaili, get drunk, I can’t get drunk! Oh, no, I forgot, you are also in the Golden Body Realm, and you, you, you, you are all in the third realm of the Tao, hahahaha…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people in the hall changed slightly.
Yes, all the royal family members present here are either in the Golden Body Realm or the Dharma Realm, which are the third realm of the Tao.
But unfortunately, the rules of Ziweitian allow them to only exert the power of the second realm.
"What? You don't want to talk anymore? You don't dare to speak, so I'll speak!"
Jiang Huaikong laughed sarcastically, "My Daqing has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years, and the royal family is extremely prosperous. I didn't expect that it would suffer a series of disasters recently. First, there was a tyrant who persecuted with evil methods, and then there were evil thieves who stole the great..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Jiang Huaili was anxious and didn't care about anything else. He directly used the power of Iron Bone Realm and punched out fiercely.
Bang!
Jiang Huaikong flew backwards and hit a large pillar in the hall.
A huge anger began to brew in him.
"You dare to hit me?!"
Jiang Huaikong didn't even stand up, just stared at Jiang Huaili fiercely: "You can't deal with that guy, so you come to deal with your own family, right?"
"If I don't beat you, we might all die! Killed by you!"
Jiang Huaili retorted without any hesitation, "Do you know what you just said? Huh?!"
"I……"
Jiang Huaikong opened his mouth, as if he finally reacted. The anger on his face gradually subsided, replaced by a strong sense of unwillingness.
"I know you're unwilling to accept this, and neither am I. All of us are unwilling to accept this!"
Jiang Huaili looked around slowly. "But no matter how unwilling we are, we must not lose our minds. Otherwise, let alone what will happen to us, we will also affect the inheritance of the entire royal family. No one can afford it!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall put down their wine glasses and began to look solemn.
"But are we just going to give up like this?"
Jiang Huaikong took a deep breath and said, "If he was the only one who was above the royal family and all living beings, I wouldn't be so unwilling, because he is the strongest and the immortal. But those officials... some of them don't even have the face to open the meridians, and their backgrounds are even worse. How can they ride on the head of the royal family? In this case, is the royal family still the royal family?"
"I know what you mean, but I didn't say I was giving up."
Jiang Huaili said in a deep voice.
"Um?"
Jiang Huaikong's eyes lit up, "Do you have a solution?"
The others also perked up and pricked up their ears.
However, just as Jiang Huaili was about to answer, a voice that no one wanted to hear suddenly appeared.
"Your so-called method is to start with my daughter?"
Xu Chong's figure condensed out of thin air and walked towards Jiang Huaili step by step.
"Jiang Huaili, a member of the royal family with the character Huai, is one generation higher than Emperor Yongtai."
Xu Chong walked up to Jiang Huaili and looked at him coldly, "Jiang Xinyu, is he your great-grandson?"
"Your Highness, Regent, yes, Jiang Xinyu is my great-grandson."
Jiang Huaili bowed his hands, his expression gradually relaxed, and even smiled, "If he offends me in any way, it will be up to Your Highness to deal with it."
"Oh, how cold-blooded and heartless! He even gives up on his blood relatives just like that."
Xu Chong sneered repeatedly.
"No, Your Highness misunderstood."
Jiang Huaili shook his head. "When I say let him do whatever he wants, I mean that everyone in this royal bloodline, including me, can let His Highness do whatever he wants."
“…”
Xu Chong frowned and began to wonder what Jiang Huaili meant.
"To be honest, I did this just to meet His Highness."
Jiang Huaili smiled and took the initiative to explain, "As for why... the Six Covenants will soon be destroyed by you, right?"
“…”
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes.
The rest of the royal family no longer had time to worry and spoke in horror.
"What?!"
"Destroy the Six Covenants?!"
"Why do you want to destroy the Six Covenants?!"
“…”
They couldn't help but be terrified.
The original purpose of the Six Covenants was to reduce the number of warriors and thereby curb the pace of destruction of the Tianxuan Realm.
But this meaning has indirectly brought huge benefits to the royal family.
Think about it, all living beings are restricted by the Six Covenants, making it extremely difficult for them to embark on the path of martial arts. However, because of the existence of the Six Covenants, the royal family has gained a great improvement in their qualifications, even though their Purple Palace is incomplete.
It is equivalent to double protection.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Six Covenants account for most of the credit for the fact that Daqing was able to last for such a long time without a change of dynasty.
Once the six covenants are destroyed, the double guarantee disappears...
Can the Daqing royal family continue to pass on its legacy so peacefully?
