Chapter 1711 The Mysterious God's Show of Goodwill
“He’s gone!” Xuan Shen said.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Shen sat back down in his rightful place.
"Jin Peng, get over here!"
Xuan Shen first smiled at Ying Zheng, then his expression darkened slightly, and he rebuked him with great displeasure.
His second disciple was really too much. He had instructed Ying Zheng to fight him earlier, but he couldn't tell the situation clearly and even spoke in favor of the Black Fiend God, which made him extremely disappointed.
In his eyes, Jin Peng was someone qualified to inherit this city!
Today's performance greatly disappointed him.
Today's birthday banquet was also his plan to appoint his disciple as the young city lord. Judging from his performance, Jin Peng is the most talented of his three disciples, but there are some problems in other aspects.
"Teacher...Master?"
Hearing the somewhat displeased voice of the Mystic God, Jin Peng's heart tightened immediately. He walked cautiously to the Mystic God, feeling extremely apprehensive!
"Jin Peng, you have truly disappointed your master!"
Xuan Shen looked indifferently at the golden roc in front of him and said with great disappointment.
"Master, Master, I did not mean to do that. I just... I just looked down on him!"
Jin Peng spoke cautiously, afraid of offending Xuan Shen. Only then did he realize how foolish he had been!
He opposed his own master and even stood beside the Black Demon God.
He just couldn't stand Ying Zheng!
thump!
Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Peng immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Disciple begs Master's forgiveness!"
"Disciple...disciple only wants, only wants Ying Zheng to pay the price! Besides, wasn't what disciple did before also..."
Before Jin Peng could even speak, Xuan Shen raised his arm and slapped Jin Peng hard across the face!
boom! !
With a thud, Jinpeng flew up and crashed heavily into the stone pillar!
"Please forgive him, Master. My junior brother did not do it intentionally. I hope you will not punish him!"
Just as Xuan Shen was about to cripple Jin Peng with another slap, Mo Chenzi dared not stand by and watch the show any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward to beg for mercy.
"I don't need your pretense!"
Jin Peng snorted coldly, staring at Mo Chenzi, who was blocking his way, with a face full of resentment!
"You scoundrel! Your senior brother pleaded for you, and instead of being grateful, you dare to insult me like this! How could my Xuan Shen have a disciple like you? If word gets out, how can I, a dignified first-level god, have such a despicable disciple? How can I stand in this universe?"
Hearing Jin Peng's words, Xuan Shen's anger, which was about to subside, suddenly surged again!
"From this moment forward, Jin Peng is completely disqualified from competing for the title of Young City Lord!"
"Anyone who dares to plead for mercy should not say they are a disciple of my Xuan Shen!"
Xuan Shenqi's chest trembled violently, and this was already a huge concession on his part!
"Disciple, thank you Master!"
Mo Chenzi, disregarding everything, hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
"You are ultimately too kind. We gods must remember: never be excessively kind! Do you understand?"
"Disciple understands!"
Mo Chenzi lay prostrate on the ground and responded in a low voice.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng, who was standing beside him, didn't know what to say. It seemed that he had come here to keep the appointment and to see if there was any opportunity for him to be promoted to the Dao God!
"Hmph, that's for the best!"
Xuan Shen snorted coldly, and a token instantly materialized in his palm.
"Receive the young city lord's order!"
He threw the token in his hand directly at Mo Chenzi. Among all his disciples, Mo Chenzi was the first to follow him and had the longest cultivation experience. His strength was almost the same as that of the Golden Roc!
He has many disciples, but so far only Mo Chenzi and Jin Peng have reached the Dao Limitless Realm. Now that Jin Peng's qualification has been abolished, Mo Chenzi has naturally become the only young city lord!
"Thank you Master!"
Mo Chenzi held the Young City Lord's token in both hands, his fingertips trembling slightly. The Xuan Shen Palace totem engraved on the token emitted a warm golden light, clearly reflecting the excitement and trepidation in his eyes.
He kowtowed deeply, his voice filled with barely suppressed solemnity: "This disciple will certainly live up to Master's expectations, protect the territory of the Xuan Shen Palace, and live up to the responsibilities of the young city lord!"
Xuan Shen looked at his bowed back, his expression softening slightly. However, when his gaze swept over Jin Peng, who was scrambling to his feet in a disheveled state and filled with resentment, it turned cold again: "From this day forward, Jin Peng is confined to the Repentance Cliff in the back mountain. He is not allowed to step out for a hundred years. If he dares to cause any more trouble, his cultivation will be destroyed!"
Jin Peng trembled all over, and dared not utter a single word of rebuttal. He could only grit his teeth, bow and accept the order. As he turned to leave, his resentful eyes glared fiercely at Ying Zheng, as if he wanted to blame him for all the humiliation.
Ying Zheng, of course, ignored this.
After this change in the birthday banquet, although the guests had their own thoughts, they dared not linger any longer. They all stepped forward to congratulate Xuan Shen and the newly promoted young city lord Mo Chenzi, and then hurriedly took their leave.
The main hall quickly returned to quiet, leaving only Xuan Shen, Mo Chenzi, and Ying Zheng.
Xuan Shen raised his hand and waved, and the palace door slowly closed. His divine aura transformed into an invisible barrier, completely isolating him from external perception.
He looked at Ying Zheng, his previous politeness gone, replaced by a genuine seriousness: "Young friend Ying Zheng, that Reincarnation Emperor was a top god in the ancient times. For you to obtain his inheritance is an immense blessing!"
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "But I have already become his only successor."
What he meant by that was, "You, Xuan Shen, don't be like that Black Fiend God and covet the Emperor's inheritance!"
Moreover, he knew in his heart that since the Black Fiend God already knew about the inheritance of the Reincarnation Emperor, he would definitely use any means to seize it. No one could be indifferent to such a great opportunity!
Mo Chenzi put away the token, walked to Ying Zheng's side, and said sincerely, "Brother Ying Zheng, since that's the case, you should stay here for now, lest he try to harm you again!"
"It won't be too late to leave when you break through to the Dao God realm."
Ying Zheng looked up at him and, seeing no pretense in his eyes, smiled faintly: "In that case, thank you very much, young city lord!"
Xuan Shen suddenly sighed, his gaze falling on Ying Zheng with a hint of inquiry: "Young friend, you possess the inheritance of the Reincarnation Emperor, and are only one step away from the Dao God realm. However, this final step is not as simple as ordinary people imagine."
Ying Zheng's visit to the Xuan Shen Palace was not only to keep his appointment with Mo Chenzi, but also to seek an opportunity to break through to the Dao God realm.
After a moment of contemplation, he truthfully said, "I am indeed searching for a way to break through, but the path to becoming a Dao God is elusive and unpredictable, and I have yet to find a clue."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Shen's eyes flashed with understanding. He took out a pure white jade slip from his robes and handed it to Ying Zheng: "This is my insight when I broke through to the Dao God realm. Perhaps it can give you some inspiration. However, the real key may lie in the Shadow Devouring Pearl offered by the Black Fiend God!"
Clearly, he understood that since he couldn't obtain the inheritance and wasn't willing to take such a dangerous risk, why not befriend Ying Zheng? After all, someone who could obtain the inheritance of the Reincarnation Emperor was no ordinary person. If he could befriend him, it would be entirely beneficial to him!
With the inheritance of an emperor, it is not impossible to glimpse the realm of the supreme emperor in the future!
Ying Zheng took the jade slip, feeling a warm touch on his fingertips. He probed into it with his divine sense, and a massive amount of Daoist insights flooded into his mind!
He looked up at Xuan Shen, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Although that evil pearl contains great power, it is also extremely dangerous. How can it help me break through?"
“This bead is indeed strange, but its core contains a trace of pure divine soul power,” the Mystic God explained. “Everyone’s breakthrough to the Dao God realm is different; some break through naturally, while others have to go through tribulations!”
"You possess the inheritance of the Reincarnation Emperor, and the power of reincarnation is inherently adept at purifying evil. If you can peel away and purify this wisp of divine soul essence, perhaps it can become a stepping stone for your breakthrough. However, this process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by the evil pearl and your soul will be scattered!"
Mo Chenzi's expression changed, and he quickly dissuaded him: "Brother Ying Zheng, this matter is too dangerous, we must not take the risk! Why don't we reconsider?"
Ying Zheng remained silent for a long time before nodding.
He had already made up his mind. The Black Fiend God would definitely not let this go. If he could not break through to the Dao God realm as soon as possible, he feared that he would be unable to cope with the counterattack from the future.
“Thank you for your guidance, Mystic God. I am willing to give it a try,” Ying Zheng said firmly. “However, I need an absolutely safe place to cultivate.”
Xuan Shen nodded, his eyes showing appreciation: "Good! My Xuan Shen Palace's most treasured artifact, the 'Mysterious Heaven Secret Realm,' is the best choice. Time flows ten times faster in the secret realm than outside, and it is also blessed with divine power, which can help you suppress the backlash from the Evil Pearl. Mo Chenzi, you will personally escort young friend Ying Zheng to the secret realm, and no one is allowed to disturb him!"
"Yes, Master!" Mo Chenzi accepted the order, then looked at Ying Zheng, "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, please come with me."
Ying Zheng bowed to Xuan Shen in thanks, then turned and left with Mo Chenzi.
As soon as the two stepped out of the main hall, they felt a subtle force of probing pass by. Ying Zheng's eyes turned cold, and the power of reincarnation quietly began to circulate. The force of probing vanished instantly, like ice and snow encountering a raging fire!
"They're Black Fiend's men!"
Mo Chenzi's expression turned grave. "He really didn't leave; he's been secretly monitoring us."
"It's alright," Ying Zheng said calmly. "Once I break through to the Dao God realm, I will settle this matter myself."
The two walked towards the back mountain of Xuan Shen Palace. The scenery along the way was serene and the spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost tangible.
The Mysterious Heaven Realm is located on a floating mountain peak in the back mountain. The mountain peak is shrouded in a thick layer of clouds and mist, which contains pure Dao runes. Ordinary gods who approach it will be repelled by the power of the runes!
Mo Chenzi took out a token and gently waved it at the clouds. The clouds immediately parted to reveal the entrance to the secret realm.
An ancient stone gate stands at the entrance, covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand runes, exuding an aura of vicissitude and majesty.
