Chapter 589

"This destiny is truly a good thing."

Li Rui couldn't help but sigh.

The Holy Emperor's sacrifice to heaven was not just about valuing Li Rui, but a tremendous great fortune.

With great destiny added to his body.

One sacrifice to heaven earned Li Rui a great deal of destiny.

Only three days had passed.

Li Rui's Dao Foundation had grown by a full three zhang under the nourishment of destiny, reaching fifty-eight zhang.

Only two zhang away.

He could step into the mid-stage of the Dao Body realm.

"Wonderful!"

Li Rui couldn't help but feel happy.

This is the benefit of an immortal dynasty.

Speaking of which, this matter can be traced back to before the ancient times.

The Lord of the Immortal Court pacified the prehistoric world, opened up the immortal dynasty, and established the immortal court, bringing great governance to the immortal cultivation world; otherwise, before this, it was a terrifying era of dark turmoil, where in the eyes of cultivators, other fellow clansmen were just consumables, and fighting was constant.

It was after the immortal court that rules gradually appeared.

It was also that Lord of the Immortal Court who created the method of destiny.

This is a major event.

You must know, relying on education alone is useless; to make those immortal cultivators who only care about competing for the first place peaceful, one must rely on interests.

It's just that with the ascension of the immortal court, it entered the era of Dao loss.

But the immortal cultivation world is too big, and no human emperor has appeared, so the fourteen provinces developed independently, with huge differences.

Generally speaking.

Places with immortal dynasties are more peaceful; if it is the jurisdiction of an immortal sect, even if it is a righteous immortal sect, it is not so safe, but there are other advantages, such as freedom, true survival of the fittest, and the winner takes all.

Buddhism appeared during the era of Dao loss.

It adapted the destiny techniques of the immortal dynasty to form a very special system.

Li Rui stood up satisfied.

He had been in the capital for half a month.

The Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory is actually a high-ranking, powerful, and low-responsibility position; one only needs to monitor the destiny of the world, and this can be done without being in the Imperial Observatory. As for daily affairs, they are naturally handed over to the two deputy supervisors under him.

If one is the head and still does everything personally, then one has been the head in vain.

Pushing open the door.

There were only busy servants in the courtyard, and Ning Zhongtian and the others were nowhere to be seen.

'They are all people who can't stay idle.'

Li Rui smiled and shook his head.

He had been promoted, so it was not good to be a hands-off manager, so he didn't return to East Sea City, and in the capital region, the effect of refining destiny was also better.

Walking out the door.

Not long after.

He passed through the imperial city and arrived at the imperial palace.

It was as simple as returning to his own home.

Completely devoid of the complicated procedures from before.

Passing through the quiet and winding corridors, he arrived at a secluded small courtyard, and through the archway, he saw Grand Secretary Zhang, who was burying his head in the room reading official documents.

"Grand Secretary Zhang."

Li Rui cupped his hands.

Hearing Li Rui's voice, Grand Secretary Zhang looked up: "Lord Li."

That's right.

Grand Secretary Zhang, like other imperial clan members, lived in the imperial palace.

This was not in accordance with ritual and law.

After all, a male official living in the imperial palace and walking around at will is a major taboo for any emperor.

But it was decreed by the Holy Emperor.

This was to facilitate Grand Secretary Zhang coming to the Imperial Study to discuss matters at any time.

Grand Secretary Zhang put down the official documents in his hand and said: "Lord Li, there are two matters."

"First, the Holy Emperor of the Purple Tripod Immortal Dynasty of Taihua Province suddenly died, and the imperial court is in chaos; it may be related to Huang Longzi."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Such behavior.

It was exactly the same as the immortal disaster in the Yu Kingdom a hundred years ago.

It was indeed very much like Huang Longzi's handiwork.

Huang Longzi was a major threat to the Yu Kingdom, so Grand Secretary Zhang had always been paying attention to the situation of other immortal dynasties in Taihua Province to prevent Huang Longzi from taking action against the Yu Kingdom. Grand Secretary Zhang paused for only a few breaths and continued: "Second, various immortal sects want to send their disciples to the immortal tomb for trials; we must be fully prepared."

Li Rui nodded: "Grand Secretary Zhang's words are reasonable."

He naturally had heard of this matter too.

The people buried in the immortal tomb of the Ten Thousand Mountains were too terrifying.

So much so that the two major immortal sects, Bai Yujing and the Shenxuan Sect, joined forces and explored for decades without being able to fully explore it, but it was not without gains; thirty percent of the immortal tomb area had been developed, making it the most suitable place for sect trials.

It didn't matter if these immortal sect geniuses went to the immortal tomb.

But if they came to the Jin Ting Small Cave Heaven, they were highly likely to stay in the Yu Kingdom.

If any unruly ones appeared, they might cause a big mess.

Therefore, a strong person needs to sit in the south; otherwise, if those sect disciples who view mortals as ants are allowed to act recklessly, it might shake the destiny.

Looking at the Yu Kingdom.

The Imperial Preceptor defected, Gu Changsheng left, and the Marquis of Dingyuan went to the heavens beyond heavens; even after absorbing the strong from the Wu Kingdom, only Grand Secretary Zhang and Li Rui remained in the capital.

Grand Secretary Zhang had to sit in the capital.

Li Rui was the only choice to go south.

Before Grand Secretary Zhang could ask.

Li Rui directly took on this task: "Then I will take a trip to the south; it has been quite a while since I returned to Yunzhou."

Grand Secretary Zhang smiled knowingly.

Working with smart people is worry-free.

Leaving the imperial palace.

Li Rui stayed in the imperial city for another seven days, refining the destiny of the sacrifice to heaven almost completely.

Only then did he take Ning Zhongtian, Tan Hu, and the others south.

Thinking of being able to return to his hometown.

Ning Zhongtian's heart couldn't help but ripple.

'Returning home in glory!'

Yunzhou, Qinghe.

The current Qinghe had already abolished the county and changed it to a prefecture, directly swallowing Anning Prefecture and becoming Qinghe Prefecture.

The reason it could be like this.

Rumors in the streets were that Qinghe produced a Lord Li.

He had made it big.

Naturally, he had to settle his ancestral land well; one county wasn't grand enough, so it was changed to Qinghe Prefecture.

These were naturally all rumors.

Because Li Rui was a refugee who came to Qinghe, his ancestral land was not in Yunzhou at all.

The real reason was that Qinghe was the place closest to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the Yu Kingdom, and the immortal tomb was of great importance, so Qinghe was promoted by one level and became one of the prefectures of Yunzhou.

After changing the county to a prefecture.

The prosperity of Qinghe was unprecedented.

It even had the momentum to surpass Yongning Prefecture of Jiannan and become the number one prefecture in the south.

And the old residence of the Zhu family had become a tourist attraction for many visitors, with many scholars wanting to come here to rub off some of the literary luck of that newly promoted First-Rank official of the Yu Kingdom.

At this moment.

In the old residence of the Zhu family.

People were moving, and a young man in white stood at the gate, not moving at all.

There was even a hint of gloom in his eyebrows.

If there were any cultivators from the battle of Black Wind Island present, they would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this person was the true disciple of the Shenxuan Sect—Bai Renfeng.

Bai Renfeng felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

He failed to break through to the Heaven-Human realm and was almost killed by the backlash of his inner demons.

A true disciple of a first-class immortal sect actually encountered a bottleneck before entering the Heaven-Human realm; how could he not be depressed?

Looking at the two people on Black Wind Island.

Yuan Dingting had already become a Heaven-Human realm expert.

Even Li Rui, who was of humble origin and mediocre, had become a Dao Body realm expert, on par with him.

He was puzzled.

Why were those who came out of the Jin Ting Small Cave Heaven so smooth?

Perhaps precisely because of this reason, he came to Yunzhou by chance to participate in the immortal tomb trial.

'Let me see what is so special about this groom.'
