Chapter 876

For Chen Erniu, official positions and the like were not important, as long as they were useful.

Although he was also a Sword-Wielder, since King King Zhenyan and the Human Emperor didn't mention this matter at all, he didn't pay much attention to it. In his heart, being majestic was the most important thing.

After all, he knew that although he had some connection with the human race, in reality, he couldn't be counted as a human.

Even what clan he actually belonged to, Chen Erniu himself couldn't be sure.

"Sigh, too many troubles in the previous life."

Chen Erniu was proud in his heart, instinctively looking back at Xu Qing!

Xu Qing's gaze also fell on the Senior Brother at this moment. Seeing this, Chen Erniu was incomparably happy, and thinking of that Great Great Tiangang Armor, he was even more excited.

And the Grand Preceptor, after finishing the reward for Chen Erniu, paused slightly, giving everyone time to accept this matter, before continuing to speak: "The human race has fortune, first rising with the dawn, intimidating the alien races in all directions, and later conquering the Saint Lan and Black Spirit domains in the Fenghai County, expanding the territory."

As soon as these words came out, the gazes of the officials in the hall fluctuated one after another.

The previous imperial decree conferring Xu Qing as King was as it should be, but the following words... most of them heard that it was not simple.

Such opening words must have echoes.

So they all raised guesses in their hearts.

"In the subsequent war, the Black Heaven Domain sent a letter of surrender, and the Yanyue subordinates also retreated and did not commit offenses. In a few days, there will be envoys to discuss the millennium agreement in detail, and there is also the alliance agreement of the Festival Moon Domain.】

Our human race, having experienced countless years, all ancestors of past dynasties had grand plans, and until today, there is finally dawn!

Today, the territory of the human race is no longer one domain and seven counties, but

Four domains and seven counties!

"Imperial Capital Domain, Saint Lan Domain, Black Spirit Domain, Black Heaven Domain!"

"This should be to sacrifice to the ancestors, sacrifice to the heroic spirits, and inform the eternal heaven of the human race!"

"By the grace of the Immortal, the Sister Xuan Zhan Emperor says."

"In the 2939th year of this dynasty, after eight hundred years of being able to sacrifice to the ancestors, the human race will open the Ancient Star again at the time of the hundred-day battle, transport it into the Heavenly Altar, and the Human Emperor will carry the clan fortune to sacrifice to the ancestors again!"

As soon as the Grand Preceptor's voice came out, the hearts of all the officials in the entire hall roared instantly.

Sacrificing to the ancestors, for the human race, is an extremely important grand ceremony, and it can even be said that its importance exceeds everything else, and it should be the first priority.

Only when the former emperor passes away and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, or when the human race has achieved earth-shattering achievements, can it be carried out.

After all, every time the Ancient Emperor Star is opened, the resources required are vast. Even in the era when the previous Human Emperors were in power and the human race was still strong, every time the human race sacrificed to the ancestors, it would attract the attention of all races in Eastern Wanggu.

Although the human race's momentum is not as good as it used to be, the intention of rising is already there. The matter of sacrificing to the ancestors will probably attract the gaze of many alien races in Eastern Wanggu. Such a major event naturally made everyone in the hall tremble.

It's just... according to the imperial decree, the human race has indeed achieved unprecedented achievements, and sacrificing to the ancestors is also as it should be.

Xu Qing's heart also shook, and a faint light that was hard to detect flowed in his eyes.

His official business in coming to this Imperial Capital Domain was to report on his duties, and there was also a private matter!

That is to retrieve the Immortal Zixuan Upper Green Lamp for Immortal Zixuan!

Even helping Xiang Ningyan up was for this matter, because that lamp was in the Ancient Emperor Star.

And as the greatest foundation of the human race, the Ancient Emperor Star had terrifying formations outside, and it must be even more shocking inside, so it was not easily opened, only during the sacrifice to the ancestors.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's heart rippled slightly.

At the same time, the Grand Preceptor's voice echoed again.

"In this sacrifice to the ancestors, the First Imperial Prince has merit in Yanyue, the Fourth Imperial Prince has achievements in bloody battles, and the Fifth Imperial Prince has guarded the territory at the border. The three Imperial Princes are extraordinary, virtuous and talented, selfless and dedicated, so they are granted the glory of sacrificing to the ancestors!"

After speaking, the Grand Preceptor turned around, bowed toward the Human Emperor, and bowed.

The Human Emperor nodded without saying a word.

The Grand Preceptor followed the palace etiquette, waited for nine breaths before standing up, turned his head with deep eyes, looked at the officials in the hall, and spoke in a low voice.

"After this morning meeting, does anyone have anything else to report? If there is no report, the court will be dismissed."

The officials bowed their heads.

Only Xu Qing stepped forward and bowed toward the Human Emperor.

"Xu Qing has something to report.】

As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, the surrounding gazes gathered one after another. Even the Human Emperor had eyes like the sea, falling on Xu Qing. The Heavenly Marquises and Heavenly Kings were also like this.

Even King King Zhenyan was focused.

It was really because of Xu Qing's current status, the things spoken from his mouth must be no small matter.

The Grand Preceptor's expression was solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"King King Zhencang, what do you have to report?"

Xu Qing pondered without speaking directly, but took out a jade slip, recording the appearance of the three Saint Land cultivators he saw in Liaoxuan County, as well as their actions.

Except for the part about the Liaoxuan liquid, the rest was true.

After doing this, Xu Qing raised his hand, and this jade slip flew toward the Grand Preceptor.

The Grand Preceptor took it, swept it with his divine sense, and the next moment his eyes widened, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Xu Qing.

"Heavenly King Xu, this matter..."

"Absolutely true."

Xu Qing said in a deep voice.

The Grand Preceptor's expression and Xu Qing's answer made everyone around feel surprised and uncertain. Only Chen Erniu, who obviously guessed the content of the jade slip, smiled and continued to fantasize about the gorgeousness of his Great Great Tiangang Armor.

And the Grand Preceptor, after taking a deep breath, his concentration would not have been like this, it was really because the content Xu Qing told him was too shocking. That was someone from the Saint Land.

So the Grand Preceptor did not hesitate and sent the jade slip in his hand to the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor swept it with his divine sense, expressionless, but there were some meaningful colors in his gaze, and he waved his hand to bestow the jade slip to King King Zhenyan.

After King King Zhenyan saw it, his face darkened and he gave the jade slip to other Heavenly Kings.

After a while, under the various guesses of the officials in the hall, all the Heavenly Kings finished reading the jade slip, and each of them had a solemn expression, and did not give the jade slip to the Heavenly Marquises to see.

The Human Emperor's voice also came out at this moment.

"This matter, there is no need to spread it, the Heavenly Kings just need to know."

Although there were many doubts, the officials in the hall could only lower their heads, but a cloud of haze rose in their hearts unconsciously.

The sky outside also darkened at this moment. Amidst the roar of a thunderclap, heavy rain fell within the clouds, spilling into the human world.

Amidst the ripples of the sound of rain, Xu Qing no longer paid attention to the matter of the Saint Land. For him, these things naturally needed people in higher positions to care about.

He was just a Gui Xu, the Saint Land was too big, and it was not his turn to worry.

In his view, there was a more important matter than the Saint Land at this moment.

So he spoke again.

"Xu Qing's trip to Yanyue, everything originated from Xiang Ningyan. Although Imperial Prince Xiang Ningyan's merit is not obvious, whether it is virtue or talent

, as well as being selfless and dedicated, are all top choices】

"Since Your Majesty conferred Xu Qing as Imperial Prince Grand Preceptor, then Xu Qing recommends Xiang Ningyan to have the glory of sacrificing to the ancestors."

"I hope Your Majesty will grant this."

Xu Qing bowed.

These words of his were not false. Everyone naturally knew the relationship between Xu Qing and Xiang Ningyan, so after a while, the Human Emperor's voice echoed.

"Granted!"

The moment the voice came out, the Human Emperor's figure had blurred and disappeared.

This court meeting also ended here.

As everyone left the hall, most of the officials had smiles on their faces, bowing and congratulating Xu Qing and Chen Erniu. For a while, the voices were constant, and it seemed that everyone was kind-hearted.

In reality, although it was not really like this, overall, goodwill was ultimately the majority.

This is determined by level and human nature.

After a person reaches a certain height, what he sees around him must be mostly kind.

Because the cost of conflict is too high.

Unless it is driven by greater interests, otherwise...

The world is kind.

"This is human nature. Although we are of the same clan, it is because we are now in the spotlight of the human race, so everyone is full of goodwill."

Having received the Upper Spirit Mansion plaque sent by the Imperial Palace guards, and saying goodbye to everyone, Xu Qing and Chen Erniu, who left the Imperial Palace, walked on the street toward the Upper Spirit Mansion with oil-paper umbrellas.

The rain turned into silk threads, spilling along the umbrella eaves, and the world was also hazy in the rain.

There were not many pedestrians on the road. The scene of welcoming the hero also dissipated in the rain, and Chen Erniu's leisurely words echoed at this moment, looking like he had seen through life.

"So, Little A-Qing, we must continue to work hard, and we cannot fall down. I think you are not willing to see the human nature at that time."

Chen Erniu patted Xu Qing's shoulder, and Xu Qing's expression remained as usual.

"I have seen it before.】

【I forgot, your experience when you were young made you see too much evil in the world.】

The Captain smiled upon hearing this.

Just like that, they moved forward all the way, listening to the sound of rain, looking at all living beings, and enjoying the rare peace after returning from Yanyue.

Until an hour passed, the Upper Spirit Mansion bestowed by the Human Emperor appeared in their eyes.

In the entire Imperial Capital, there are a total of 1808 Upper Spirit Mansions.

Now most of them are vacant and in a sealed state.

Because the qualification to obtain this mansion is only for Heavenly Kings.

And the value of each Upper Spirit Mansion is shockingly huge, because it is built on the eye of the human race's clan-protecting formation, so it gathers rich spiritual energy that exceeds other areas.

At the same time, whether it is the material of the construction or the furnishings inside, they all gather the peak power of the human race, and at the same time, the formation contained within it is also shocking.

Besides that, each Upper Spirit Mansion has different characteristics, such as this one of Xu Qing, which has a spiritual pool inside

This spiritual pool has no small assistance to the physical body and cultivation, and even staying in it for a long time can nourish the divine soul. It is precisely because of this that this Upper Spirit Mansion can be ranked in the top ten among the 108.

The Human Emperor bestowed this mansion, which shows how much he values Xu Qing.

In front of this mansion, Chen Erniu said goodbye.

"I won't go in. I'm going to find the old man and see if he is in the Imperial Capital Domain. After all, the flesh of the Remnant Face... as a master, he can't eat alone!】

The Captain never mentioned this matter on the way back, but saying it at this moment obviously meant he had been thinking about it in his heart.

After speaking, under Xu Qing's gaze, Chen Erniu left with his head held high.

Watching the Senior Brother's figure, Xu Qing suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating, he suddenly spoke.

"Senior Brother, wait a moment.】

Chen Erniu's figure paused, and he turned his head in surprise.

Xu Qing tried his best to keep his tone calm, and there was no extra expression on his face as he spoke.

"Are there any more hairpins?"】
