Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Hanhai Continent, Fengshen Plain.

A huge peach tree rises from the ground, its thick trunk is like a mountain range, and you can see as far as the eye can see.

The top of the tree trunk is inserted into the clouds, and you can see that in the thick clouds, branches are looming like giant dragons, spreading towards the distant sky.

This peach tree is the root of the vast sea continent - the fragrant peach tree.

At this moment, on the Fengshen Plain where the fragrant peach trees grow, countless people are kneeling here to worship.

And on the roads leading to the plains, there are also countless people coming, preparing to worship the sacred tree in their hearts.

This kind of scene is common every day on the Fengshen Plain.

The Fengshen Plain was actually not called this name originally, but was called the Red River Plain. It was named after a large river named the Red River flowing through this place.

There once was a city on the Red River Plain called Dongming City. Legend has it that it was the place where the incense peach trees first grew.

However, as the fragrant peach tree grew bigger and bigger, Dongming City naturally disappeared, and the fragrant peach tree that reached the sky and the earth became the sacred tree in people's hearts.

Because it is said that the Immortal God used the incense peach tree as the root to enshrine the gods of the heavens, so for hundreds of years, countless people came to the Fengshen Plain almost every day to worship the incense peach tree.

Even later, when the new emperor of the Hanhai Kingdom came to the throne, he would come to offer sacrifices to the incense peach trees, and even dispatched an army to be stationed on the Fengshen Plain all year round to protect the incense peach trees.

At this time, on an official road leading to Fengshen Plain, many dignitaries and common people were walking towards Fengshen Plain with pious expressions.

But when they passed a certain big tree growing on the roadside, everyone couldn't help but show disgust.

Because under that big tree, there was a drunken young Taoist priest lying, and there was also an equally lazy little donkey tied to the tree.

This is the official road to the Fengshen Plain. Everyone who passes here is pious and solemn, and does not dare to show any disrespect to the incense peach wood.

So when a drunk Taoist priest appears in this place, it will naturally arouse everyone's disgust.

Because in people's eyes, Taoist priests acting like this are blaspheming the sacred tree in their hearts.

But people with naked eyes cannot see that around the drunken Taoist priest, there are hundreds of figures standing with respectful expressions.

If people could see it, they would find that those figures were the gods they usually worshiped in the temple.

And the person who can make all the gods of the entire continent gather here is naturally the legendary Supreme Being of the Vast Sea Continent—the Immortal Lord.

At this time, Zhao Mu seemed drunk, but he was actually gathering the power of many gods to help Taoist Wan Yu who was far away in Lieyang City to deal with the Buddha from another world.

After a while, Zhao Mu slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all go back, everything is fine here."

"Yes, Lord Tianzun, I'll take my leave!"

The gods bowed respectfully, and then their figures faded and disappeared.

"Huh... the matter in Lieyang City has finally been resolved. The Buddha from another world is indeed difficult to deal with."

Zhao Mu sat up with a long sigh, took out the wine gourd and took a sip, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"But fortunately, I got an arm of the Buddha from another world this time. I can study it carefully next. I wonder if the body of this strong man from another world can give me a surprise?"

"Not to mention anything else, if I can gain something from that arm, at least I will be more confident in dealing with the Buddha from another world in the future."

"This guy has been relentlessly planning to come to this world. Sooner or later he will be a threat to me. I must study it clearly and make preparations in advance."

Zhao Mu pondered for a moment: "In addition, getting the fourth town seal is also an unexpected joy. It seems that it is time for Taoist Wan Yu to come back. I wonder what gathering four town seals can bring me. What kind of benefits?”

"In addition, Chu Jinghong also needs to force him to start ripening the Destiny Dao Fruit as soon as possible. I am not in the mood to waste time with him."

…

Lieyang City.

Taoist Wan Yu stepped on the auspicious clouds and slowly fell from the sky.

After a short period of calm, the dignitaries in the city suddenly saluted respectfully: "Welcome to Taoist Master Wan Yu, thank you for saving your life!"

At this moment, everyone bowed their heads to Zhao Mu as if they were paying homage to the emperor.

Their respect was of course not just because Zhao Mu saved their lives.

More importantly, Zhao Mu showed unparalleled strength in the battle with Sun Miaoniang and the Buddha from another world.

Their respect is essentially fear, a kind of awe for the strong.

It was just the respect from the dignitaries that made Chu Jinghong's eyes flash with a hint of gloom.

But on the surface, he laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, why should I be called Taoist Priest? From now on, Taoist Priest Wanyu will be the national preceptor of our Lieyang Empire."

"Yes, I'll wait and see the Imperial Preceptor!"

The dignitaries bowed respectfully again.

"Haha, you are all polite."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "Holy Ancestor, although Pindao serves as the national counselor, he does not have much free time after all, so unless there is something big, Pindao usually doesn't care about the affairs of the court."

"It is a blessing for the court that the Taoist Master can agree to serve as the national counselor. How can I bother the Taoist Master with those trivial matters?"

Chu Jinghong also followed the good advice: "I just don't know what the Imperial Master's next plan is. Will he stay and live in Lieyang City, or will he continue to travel around the world? If the Imperial Master plans to stay in Lieyang City, I will immediately order someone to arrange the Imperial Master's residence. "

"There is no need for the Imperial Preceptor's Office. Pindao likes to travel around the world and cannot stay in one place. If something happens to the court in the future, the Holy Ancestor can ask Zhou Yuniang to send a message to Pindao, and Pindao will definitely rush back as soon as possible."

Zhao Mu smiled lightly and hinted to everyone that only Zhou Yuniang could contact him.

He was also warning everyone that Zhou Yuniang was his own, and when she served in the court in the future, she should not go too far in certain things.

I believe that the name of Taoist Wanyu should be able to deter some people from their evil intentions.

"In that case, I will ask someone to arrange the Imperial Preceptor's residence later. Whenever the Imperial Preceptor returns to Lieyang City, you can stay there with peace of mind."

Chu Jinghong said and looked at Zhou Yuniang: "How is it, Miss Zhou, have you decided which one of the six departments you want to serve in?"

Zhou Yuniang's gaze swept across the crowd, causing the dignitaries' eyes to flicker.

After all, no matter which department Zhou Yuniang enters, it will affect the personnel transfer of that yamen, especially the minister in charge of that department, who has to transfer his official position.

Zhou Yuniang had a clear view of everyone's thoughts, smiled slightly and said: "Why not, let's go to the official department!"

Um?

Everyone was stunned.

Sun Miaoniang and Master Siku had just fought in the ancestral temple. Although they had deliberately restrained their strength, many officials who were too close still died.

And the Minister of Civil Affairs happens to be one of them.

Did this woman choose the Minister of Libu thinking about it in advance, or did she just choose which one was dead?
