Chapter 731

When Li Chen left the Holy Capital, the scene was quite "moving."

The new emperor Ma Weite not only personally led the hundred officials to send him ten miles outside the city to the long pavilion, his eye circles red and reluctant to part, but also carefully and thoughtfully considered his master's "old age" life.

In his mind, the quiet cultivation of a high person is always lonely.

Matvey carefully dressed up all the concubines and beauties in the palace who had been "favored" by Li Chen, regardless of their background, in the name of "serving the Wizard Ancestor, going to the Holy Land for cultivation is supreme glory."

They formed a quite spectacular team and sent them into Li Chen's Wizard Ancestor Cave Heaven blessed land together.

Not only that, Matvey also solemnly promised Li Chen: "Master is in quiet cultivation, how can there be no one to take care of daily life and relieve loneliness? Disciple has thought it through. Starting this year, our Daluo Dynasty will hold a 'Holy Maiden Selection' once a year,"

"Selecting virgins with clean backgrounds, excellent qualifications, and beautiful appearances from all over the country, and sending them into Master's Cave Heaven blessed land to serve by your side. This is a great gift and glory for them and even their families, and it is also a little filial piety of our Daluo imperial family to you, Master."

Li Chen looked at the team of beauties in front of him, as well as Matvey's expectant expression of "Disciple is filial, right?" and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

This disciple of his might still need tempering in cultivation and government affairs, but this ability to guess "imperial intent" and cater to his preferences was self-taught and deeply to his heart.

He maintained the indifference of an outsider on the surface and nodded slightly: "Disciple has heart. This is a good deed. It can add fresh blood to my Wizard Sect and also benefit the families of the believers. Very good."

It was considered tacitly approving and praising this arrangement.

Returning to the cloud-shrouded, spiritual energy-abundant Wizard Ancestor Cave Heaven, Li Chen was not in a hurry to leave and return to Tian Ce.

He first properly settled those women sent by Matvey, and there were old people in the Cave Heaven, such as Lady Youlan, responsible for management and guidance.

Following that period of time, the prestige of the "Wizard Ancestor" reached an unprecedented peak within the Daluo Dynasty.

The deeds of how he turned the tide, stabilized the court situation, how he persuaded the new emperor to avoid war with Tian Ce, and saved the people from fire and water, and finally retired and returned to seclusion, were passed on by believers and became more and more deified.

He almost became the only true god who saved the suffering and was the incarnation of compassion and power. The number of believers expanded rapidly, and the power of incense and faith was more majestic and pure than before.

This situation, for Matvey, was not a threat, but an excellent help for him to consolidate his rule.

Because he was not only the emperor but also the only direct disciple of the "Wizard Ancestor"! Of course, this was just what he thought.

But this identity gave him a transcendent status in the hearts of believers.

When he needed to promote a certain policy or needed local support, he often only needed to play the banner of "Wizard Ancestor Disciple" and "for the development of the Wizard Sect," and the wizards and believers in various places would actively respond, forming a powerful force of folk support.

Conversely, Matvey would also give the Wizard Sect official recognition and many privileges, ensuring the social status and actual interests of the wizards.

The two sides formed a solid, mutually beneficial, and win-win alliance relationship, which was much more stable than simple blood or interest bundling.

After enjoying a few days of leisure in the Cave Heaven blessed land and feeling the cultivation progress bit by bit brought by the power of faith.

Li Chen officially handed over the management affairs of this place to Lady Youlan, who had outstanding ability and had a heart for spiritual plant management, and he quietly returned to the Tian Ce Imperial Capital that he had been away from for a long time.

Inside the magnificent Tian Ce Imperial Palace, Li Chen took off the mysterious robe symbolizing the Wizard Ancestor and changed into the bright yellow imperial robe embroidered with a nine-clawed golden dragon, showing supreme imperial power.

In the mirror, his face was still young and handsome, but between his brows, there was more unfathomable majesty and the precipitation after experiencing the winds and clouds than in the past.

His heart moved slightly, and he summoned the mysterious system interface that had accompanied him for a long time.
