The heavens begin from Pingyang City

The Imperial Palace of Chu State.

The palace, which used to be solemn and solemn in the past, is now a lively scene of joy, singing and dancing, with busy eunuchs and maids everywhere.

In addition to the civil and military officials who usually wear green and purple court uniforms, there are also some dignitaries from aristocratic families who do not usually go to court. In addition to these, there are also some people who are obviously family members.

All this is because today is the fifty-eighth birthday of Chu Han, the Emperor of Chu.

Emperor Chu's birthday is naturally no small matter. A grand ceremony will be held in the palace to celebrate His Majesty the Emperor's birthday. All civil and military officials and dignitaries from aristocratic families will come to celebrate His Majesty the Emperor with their family members.

The originally splendid palace hall was now decorated in a fiery red color, giving people a festive feeling.

In a slightly secluded place outside the main hall, Jiang Yao leaned casually against a pillar, lazily basking in the sun and looking at the various personnel in the palace, as well as the busy maids and eunuchs.

Jiang Yao's father in this life, Sima Changfeng, as the general of Chu State, naturally had to attend the birthday of the Emperor of Chu State, and Jiang Yao came with him.

However, Jiang Yao didn't like those hypocritical official boasting scenes very much. After entering the palace, he separated from his father and found this slightly secluded place, preparing to wait for the people from Qishi Mansion to arrive and meet Na Na. Lan Ruoshui went in together.

The soft sunlight shone down on Jiang Yao's body, making him feel even more lazy.

At this moment, Jiang Yao's heart moved and he looked not far away.

I saw a young man with a handsome face and a hint of domineering walking over with a smile. It was Renjian, the third prince of the Moon Worship Kingdom, and behind him was the old man in gray robe who had fought Jiang Yao. .

Arriving in front of Jiang Yao, Ren Jian had a gentle smile on his face and said, "Master Sima, we meet again."

There was nothing strange about his expression, and his smile was sincere, as if he was chatting with good friends he hadn't seen for a long time, as if Jiang Yao defeated him with one move in public and the embarrassing thing never happened.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Jiang Yao casually cupped his hands and said lazily: "I will naturally come to His Majesty the Emperor's birthday, and the Third Prince is also here to attend His Majesty the Emperor's birthday. It's normal to meet."

"Too."

Renjian didn't pay attention to Jiang Yao's tone. He looked around curiously and asked, "Why don't Mr. Sima go in?"

Jiang Yao pointed to the crowd in front and said, "The person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet, so I'm still waiting for her here."

"Turns out you're waiting for someone, I'm telling you!"

Renjian smiled, and then changed his voice and said: "Last time, Mr. Sima's exquisite sword skills opened my eyes. After returning home, I benefited a lot from it. If there is a chance, I hope to have a drink with Mr. Sima. Let’s discuss the way of cultivation together.”

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince is joking."

Jiang Yao shook his head and said: "I am an Eastern warrior and you are a Taoist. Our cultivation systems are different, so there is no way to talk about Tao."

"Master Sima's words are wrong."

When Ren Jian was talking to Jiang Yao, he didn't notice that the old man in gray robe behind him looked at Jiang Yao in disbelief, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

What he saw was that when he fought against the opponent a few days ago, the Qi displayed by the opponent was only at the beginning of the third level, but today the Qi displayed by the opponent has reached the third level of Dacheng.

How can this be?

Even if the opponent gets the opportunity to break through, it is impossible to jump from the beginning of the third level to the level of the third level in just a few days!

You must know that the levels from third to fourth levels are called "trapped dragons", and breakthroughs in every small realm are as difficult as climbing to the sky.

The old man himself broke through to the third level decades ago, but he has only advanced to the third level now. Although his cultivation has become more sophisticated and his techniques have become more proficient, he still cannot touch the threshold of the third level.

He didn't believe that anyone could easily break the level that had trapped him for decades in a few days.

‘Could it be that when I saw him before, he hid his cultivation level? ’

Thinking about it, the old man concentrated on his luck, pushed his perception to the limit, and tried his best to detect Jiang Yao's aura.

Jiang Yao was lazily basking in the sun when he suddenly felt like he was being investigated. When he looked up, he saw the old man behind Ren Jian looking at him intently.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yao's heart moved, a sharp sword intention rose from his heart, and the sword light flashed in his eyes.

Well

The old man in gray robe who was detecting Jiang Yao's aura suddenly met a pair of deep eyes. The next moment, a sharp and vast sword appeared in his mind, as if he was about to cut himself in half.

The old man felt a tearing pain in his spirit. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and took two steps back.

Renjian was talking to Jiang Yao, wanting to win over him or at least have a good relationship with him, when he suddenly saw something strange about the old man behind him.

He quickly looked at the old man, with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Old Sun, what happened? Are you okay?"

The old man panted for a moment before calming down the fluctuations in his body and relieving his mental pain.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After giving Jiang Yao a horrified look, he said to Ren Jian: "Your Highness, I'm fine. I just have an old problem."

"So that's it."

Renjian nodded, but with his intelligence, how could he not notice the old man's strange behavior, but he didn't say much, looked at Jiang Yao and said: "Master Sima, let's go in first."

Jiang Yao had always been lukewarm towards him, and he was too lazy to be warm to him anymore.

"Um."

Jiang Yao nodded casually.

Seeing this, Ren Jian no longer hesitated and led the old man towards the distant hall.

Looking at the two people's backs, Jiang Yao chuckled in his heart. A third-level warrior dared to explore himself unscrupulously. He simply didn't know whether to live or die.

If Jiang Yao hadn't been merciful, with his current strength, a sword intent could severely damage the opponent's spirit, and he might even become an idiot.

At this moment, an elegant voice sounded in Jiang Yao's ears, pulling him back from his thoughts.

"Lingkong, that was the Third Prince Renjian of the Moon Worship Kingdom just now, wasn't it?"

"Moon Princess."

Jiang Yao turned around and saw Chu Yue, dressed in white, standing in front of him, looking at the two figures in the distance.

He nodded and said: "It is Ren Jian."

Chu Yue asked curiously: "Do you know each other?"

"It doesn't count as acquaintance."

Jiang Yao said casually, and then briefly recounted what happened on the streets of Pingyang City a few days ago.

"Yu'er, this girl got into trouble again!"

After listening to Jiang Yao's words, Chu Yue said angrily, and then said: "I have to thank you Lingkong, otherwise that girl will suffer again."

"Princess Yue is welcome."

Jiang Yao smiled and said, "Even without me, Yi Yu'er, that little guy's ghost, won't suffer any loss."

"Too."

Thinking of her sister's cleverness, Chu Yue couldn't help but nodded.

As she said that, she looked Jiang Yao up and down with a little doubt, and said with a slight frown: "Lingkong, I haven't seen you in the past few days. Why do I feel that something has changed about you?"

"Have it?"

Jiang Yao's heart moved. Women's senses are really sensitive.

The path of cultivation is a path of continuous evolution to achieve the most perfection in both spirit and spirit. As cultivation progresses, a person's appearance, spirit, and temperament will naturally undergo huge changes.

Although only a few days had passed in the Tomb of Gods World, Jiang Yao had actually experienced a lot in the World of the Supreme Being. His cultivation had made great progress, and even his spiritual realm had been greatly improved. Naturally, he was very different from before.

However, what the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique" is best at is the perfect control and change of the physical body and the internal energy. Jiang Yao can naturally hide his abnormality by operating it at will, making himself almost the same as before. Unexpectedly Chu Yue noticed a slight difference.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yao smiled and said: "I have gained some insights in the past few days. My cultivation has taken a step further, but I haven't fully mastered the Qi mechanism after the breakthrough. Maybe it's because of this reason!"

"So that's it."

Chu Yue nodded, then showed a smile and said: "Then I would like to congratulate you, Lingkong, you are indeed a genius in the imperial capital who has understood the true meaning of family swordsmanship at the third level. In such a short period of time, your cultivation has reached another level." Progress has been made.”

"Princess Moon is overrated."

Jiang Yao chuckled lightly and said: "It's just a small improvement in cultivation, not worth mentioning. Princess Yue, as a disciple of the Tantai Sect, your talents are not inferior to mine."

"Ling Kong, stop joking."

Hearing Jiang Yao's words, Chu Yue had a wry smile on her face and said, "I can't even master the inheritance of the Tantai Sect, how can I compare to you."

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Yao with a trace of envy on her face.

In this world of cultivation where great power belongs to oneself, if she had strong talents and had the opportunity to reach the level of strength like her ancestors, how could Chu Yue pursue the position of a mere queen?

Doesn't she understand that even if she becomes the Queen of Chu, she still has to be respectful to her ancestor who is like the divine needle of the Chu Kingdom?

However, her training in the Tantai Sect made Chu Yue understand that her own qualifications were far inferior to those of spiritual geniuses like Jiang Yao and her junior sisters, so she focused all her energy on the pursuit of power, hoping to become Chu Yue. The future queen of the country.

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Jiang Yao did not answer. He also understood that the other party's talent was indeed inferior to those of the descendants of the Holy Land.

However, Chu Yue is the reincarnation of a part of the soul fragment of the seventh body of Qi Jue Tiannu, the most powerful person. If she has the opportunity to awaken the potential of this part, she will definitely become the top genius in the cultivation world, but this possibility is not Not big.

Chu Yue was also a determined person. She suppressed the disappointment in her heart in a blink of an eye, glanced around and said, "By the way, Lingkong, why don't you go in?"

"oh!"

Jiang Yao pointed to the crowd at Qishi Mansion not far away and said, "I'm waiting for Ruoshui, and I'm going to go in with her."

"Ruoshui."

Chu Yue followed Jiang Yao's gaze and saw Nalan Ruoshui, who was wearing a light blue dress and as elegant as water, walking towards the two of them.

Coming to the two of them, Nalan Ruoshui showed a faint smile on his face and said: "Brother Lingkong, Princess Yue."

"Ruoshui."

Seeing Nalan Ruoshui arrive, Jiang Yao put away his lazy look and said to Chu Yue: "Princess Yue, let's go in first."

"Um."

Chu Yue nodded.

Afterwards, Jiang Yao took Nalan Ruoshui towards the main hall.

Watching the two of them go away, Chu Yue shook her head, then turned and left, continuing to check on the arrangements for the birthday ceremony.
