The Emperor Reigns Them All-Chapter 388 - Kunlun
Chapter 388 Kunlun
Setting aside whether Li Xian truly knew Li Ye, but now, he didn’t understand why Chu Nanhuai had so much confidence in Li Ye. Moreover, he couldn’t understand the words “subjugate her”.
How could the Feihong Bodhisattva be subjugated?
Even if Li Xian was brilliant, the best of the best for a time, he couldn’t “be too deviant” to ignore the gap between mortals and immortals. Moreover, the Feihong Bodhisattva was far from an ordinary Immortal.
Chu Nanhuai knew what he was thinking with just one look at Li Xian, and he sneered. “So what if it is the Feihong Bodhisattva? Don’t forget, many years ago, the Feihong Bodhisattva was also a baby, and she too had to learn to walk. When she was young and ignorant, she would be reprimanded when she got in trouble. She is a cultivator. At the end of the day, she got to her present level step by step. She had climbed up the ladder, why can’t we? Be it mortals or Immortals, in the end, we are all humans, not stones, how can she make you so afraid?”
Li Xian was a little hesitant, and Chu Nanhuai’s remarks were extremely “rebellious”. Most people would scold him after listening to him, but Li Xian was not ordinary, and he soon fell into contemplation.
After a moment, he realized something, his eyes cleared a little, and he clenched his fist. He added, “Thank you for the lesson, Senior Brother. I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.”
The immature browned cloaked Taoist snorted proudly with his nose in the air. He was very anxious to show off to the people of the world, the old Prince An, Li Xian, who was like a god in your eyes, had to be obediently before me.
When Chu Nanhuai had his nose high in the air, Li Xian did not see the slyness flashing in his eyes.
The reason why Chu Nanhuai would be certain that Li Ye could win was certainly not because of the great principle he just said.
The great principle could only solve big problems, such as the direction of life, but it could not answer specific questions, such as what to eat at noon today.
Therefore, Chu Nanhuai believed that Li Ye had another reason.
It was a reason Chu Nanhuai would not say, but it couldn’t be more clear.
He once again looked at the heavens with his hands in his sleeves. After a while he shot a glance at Li Xian, seeing Li Xian didn’t notice him, he muttered to himself, “Who cares if it is the Feihong Bodhisattva. Is she really that much better than Su Emei? Li Ye did nothing and the Guanghan Fairy had fallen for him! If he really wanted to, why would the Feihong Bodhisattva be any different?”
Thinking of this, Chu Nanhuai sighed as if he was a little angry.
After a moment, he smiled again and muttered to himself with satisfaction, “I chose Li Ye not without reason. No, it is very reasonable with profound meaning!”
Li Xian heard this too, and turned to look at him. Just as he wanted to ask something, Chu Nanhuai, who knew that he had made an indiscreet remark, shrank his neck and took the lead to slip aside. “Look at this flag, something is wrong, come over and check it out! ”
Li Xian had no choice but shake his head.
Not too much time had passed before a vision suddenly appeared from the cloudless blue sky.
…
At the entrance of the Kunlun Channel to the immortal territory. A large number of immortal officials were gathering, it looked like there were a hundred of them.
They flew in from all directions and pulled out the rainbow-like banner in mid-air, like countless colorful clouds. It was bright-colored and dazzling.
Since the emperor had closed the connecting tunnel between heaven and earth, Immortals and mortals had been completely cut off. And the immortals could only enter the mortal world through reincarnation, while mortals could only step into the immortal territory after they become immortals. This was also the basic rule that the emperor erected between heaven and earth by great magical power in order to protect the common people.
Therefore, Kunlun was the medium to facilitate communication between the Immortals and mortals. The immortals directly intervene in things in the world by descending to the world through Kunlun, but it was actually breaking rules, similar to “cheating”.
At the end of the day, the reason for the existence of the Kunlun Channel was to maintain the Immortal Court’s authority and rule over the world. The Immortal Court were forced to “look for” a loophole in the order of heaven and earth erected by the emperor.
However, since it was an act of rebellion against the order and breaking the rules, it was natural to pay the price when they descended the world through Kunlun. Not only were immortals’ cultivation greatly reduced, once they died in battle in the world, it was also the destruction of their spirits, thus they could no longer entered the reincarnation cycle and truly dissipated between heaven and earth.
Even if the immortals did not die in battle, there was a great risk that they would not be able to return to the Immortal Court. In the end, they could only turn into ashes.
Therefore, each time sending the immortals to the mortal world through Kunlun was destined to be a great effort and a great loss to the Immortal Court.
Zhang Ji looked serious, he looked at the corner of the vast immortal territory with his hands clasped behind his back, and frowned silently.
He stood at the corrie between the two divine mountains. Below his feet were thousands of miles of plains. It was lined with the best green hallowed stone tiles full of runes, forming a map of a powerful, vigorous formation.
The entire corrie was where the magic formation was located.
This magic formation was Kunlun.
Through this formation, the cultivators of the Immortal Court could go down to the world and arrive at any Taoist temple that was qualified to withstand the power of the Kunlun magic formation.
“Report, immortal emissary, the immortals have assembled.” At this time, an immortal official came behind Zhang Ji and bowed to him.
Zhang Ji turned around and glanced at the Immortals who had assembled in the square. He waved his hands, and motioned for the other party to withdraw.
Beside Zhang Ji, stood a middle-aged Immortal officer wearing purple lined robes and wielding a horse-tail whisk, he was the Immortal officer of the Kunlun Channel.
He then sighed and added disappointedly, “When the immortals led by Lord Chen and Lord Huang assembled here previously to prepare for descending to the world, it was also on a day where the clouds engulfed the mountains and rivers. At that time, I would never have thought that a short while later, there would be a second batch of immortal officials ready to descend to the world.”
Zhang Ji glanced at him and added indifferently, “Chen Jizhen, Huang Jingyuan and others are just a bunch of bums and sinners that have brought disgrace to the Immortal Court. They are not worthy to be compared with me.”
The guardian of the immortals froze, he opened his mouth and said nothing, then he shook his head and sighed after a while, “Then I wish the immortals a success!”
Chen Jizhen, Huang Jingyuan, and others had a bad beginning. They lost their lives in the secret region of Tao of Heaven, leaving the Immortal Court’s plan unsuccessful. A large number of immortals died in vain. It was widely spread that they had been condemned as sinners by the Immortal Court.
Zhang Ji snorted coldly, and was about to jump into the formation, when suddenly a long light came flying.
Having seen the immortal officer reveal himself, Zhang Ji frowned and had a bad hunch, because it was the herald of Lingxiao Palace.
The herald came over the valley, took out the order, and read loudly, “Zhang Ji, take orders!”
Zhang Ji bowed down. “Yes, my lord!”
The herald opened the edict and read, “Pinglu Army has captured Taiyuan City. Li Keyong fled north with his troops, and now Taiyuan City has fallen into Li Ye’s hands! After receiving the order, you will immediately descend to the world and rush to Taiyuan City, kill the altar host and leader of the Pinglu Army, destroy the offerings and catch Li Ye when he gets out of the secret region!”
Hearing this change, Zhang Ji’s face took on a ghastly expression. “Yes, my lord!”
After passing the order to Zhang Ji, the herald conveyed a few words of the Immortal Emperor, and then turned to leave.
The guardian of the Kunlun formation stood up but he was still stunned. “The previous information had just mentioned that the Hedong Army has launched a counterattack against the Pinglu Army. It seemed that the two armies would still battle for a long time. How could the Ping Lu army suddenly capture Taiyuan City? Li Keyong is just too useless, and he actually fled north?”
Zhang Ji kept silent.
He had the same doubts, but he knew that it was not the right time to tangle in this issue.
He only knew that with Pinglu Amy’s unexpected capturing of Taiyuan City and Li Keyong’s complete defeat, Li Changgeng’s previous suggestions to him could no longer be implemented. He must descend to the world as quickly as possible and rush to Taiyuan City.
Once Li Ye could get the Luck of heaven, then the future of his descent to the mortal world would have many twists and trials.
“A group of ants, what can they do even if they capture Taiyuan City. Do they really want to go against immortals?” said Zhang Ji before jumping to the center of the formation without another word.
The guardian of the formation quickly went to preside over the formation and opened the Kunlun connection channel between mortals and immortals.
