Chapter 517 Falling Into a Trap
He and the Dragon King also came in as masters of the Black Wind Sect. They saw the whole scene of Wu Chong being alone and the court being completely silent. After knowing the existence of Immortal Buddha, they were also very afraid of this new national master. This is one of the few 'aboriginals' that could affect their plans.
But fortunately, the other party doesn't care much about power, and is focusing on collecting those strange crystals wholeheartedly.
"Emperor Master."
Princess Yonghe stood behind the consort Hua Tiancong, looking at Wu Chong's disappearing back, her eyes flashing with light, not knowing what she was planning.
A hundred years is a long time for ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation. But unlike Princess Yong, she is a practitioner herself, so her life span will naturally not be so short.
Princess Yonghe has undergone great changes in the past hundred years.
Especially after the great-uncle behind Hua Tiancong died, her suppressed ambitions expanded again. If it weren't for the few old guys from the Demon Slayer Department who were still there, she would have wanted to kill Hua Tiancong and take charge of the situation herself.
"Maybe I should get in touch with the Black Wind Sect. I heard that they are all talents recruited by the National Master."
Wu Chong didn't bother to pay attention to the schemes outside and never asked about them.
From the beginning, he had never cared about the affairs of the court. To him, the Demon God's Tomb was a country. After he collected the 'Demon God's legacy' and went out to shape his own path, he would directly ascend to immortality.
When you get to the fairy world, do you want a better life?
After obtaining the 'Shadow' authority, he returned to his residence to continue his retreat.
In the past three years, the situation in the Chen Kingdom has changed, and the three heads of the Black Wind Sect have become famous. They have begun to appear in the eyes of major high-level officials. Among them, the monster incarnated by the Dragon King is the most famous, followed by the Lord and Xiao Fan. A group of people gradually gathered around the three of them. It is worth mentioning that Wu Chong's second brother Xiong finally came out. This guy has been in seclusion in Barbarian Beast Mountain for so many years, but he has yet to break through and become the Thousand-Year Demon King.
When Wu Chong learned that he was coming, he spent a whole day helping him update version 3.0 of the 'Yu Qing Immortal Technique' before retreating again.
Another month.
Wu Chong had accumulated enough experience points and reached perfection in one breath. After reaching this point, he felt a power originating from the upper world. In the words of this world, he was about to ascend.
"Then let's go up, just in time to see who the 'big master' who captured the former Imperial Master was."
After making the decision, his body felt light.
A mysterious force instantly spread out, spreading throughout the entire capital in just an instant.
The ascending power is upright and bright.
It was impossible to hide, and Wu Chong was too lazy to hide. For him now, the entire capital together was not enough for him to fight with one hand. After being low-key for so long, it’s time to be high-profile.
"The old demon is about to ascend!"
"Sure enough, this beast has some skills, and it can actually achieve enlightenment for other people. But no matter how high it is, without this old demon, it's time for the court to reshuffle its cards."
In the darkness, many strong men secretly looked towards the direction of the palace, and some of the demon-killing forces that had been suppressed by the prestige of the National Preceptor also began to make moves.
"The opportunity has come."
Not only the Demon Slayer Division, but also the Dragon King and three other people from the Black Wind Sect also felt that an opportunity had come.
It can be said that at this moment, everyone in the world is waiting for Wu Chong, the peerless old demon, to ascend. Without the mountains pressing on their heads, they can truly feel at ease.
Wu Chong didn't care what these people thought. His body became lighter and lighter, flying upward in a strange way. He had flown high into the sky before during his tribulation, but the sky at that time was just a normal sky, with a pitch-black sky outside and he could not fly to the edge.
But this time after becoming an immortal Buddha, the scene he saw was different after the same ascension. Gradually, the world in his eyes overlapped with the mundane world below. The mundane becomes less and less, and the other world becomes more and more real.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had come to a world full of clouds and mist. The ground beneath his feet was soft, and the residual energy of the Demon God in the air was almost substantial. For practitioners in this world, the remaining energy of the devil is the 'immortal energy' of their practice and is their foundation.
Wu Chong absorbed some of it. After becoming an 'immortal Buddha', the 'personality' in his body could already help him filter the demonic energy. All the parts he didn't need would be absorbed by the rhombus crystals.
"That's pretty much what happens in this fairy world."
Wu Chong looked around and looked down. Through the clouds and mist, he actually saw the mortal world beneath his feet, a small oval ball.
It's really a difficult place.
"This makes me look forward to the Demon God's legacy even more."
Withdrawing his gaze, Wu Chong chose a direction and flew forward.
He planned to find a place first, preferably to catch a living immortal Buddha, and study it carefully.
Chen Guo.
The first court meeting after the Imperial Master's ascension.
Old guys who had been in seclusion for a long time appeared in the court one after another, and even the old tower master of the Demon Slayer Department appeared. During the more than a hundred years when the new Imperial Master was in charge, the old man basically claimed to be ill and stayed inside the black tower. Now that he saw the Imperial Master ascending, he immediately jumped out to seize the power.
Princess Yonghe was hidden among the crowd. She could predict that today's court meeting would be very exciting.
Who will inherit the power vacuum after the National Master leaves?
Can the Chen family still hold on to the throne?
The three heads of the Black Wind Sect also spent all their money, and all their masters were brought over. That is, the stupid head of the Xiong family who just joined, standing there alone and honest, not understanding anything.
"Go to court!"
With the eunuch's voice, everyone filed in.
"National Master?!!"
After everyone bowed, they looked up and were stunned. Especially the ambitious old tower master from the Demon Slayer Department couldn't help but exclaim.
"Didn't you ascend?"
Who is sitting on the high platform next to the emperor if it’s not the Imperial Master?
The expressions of the Dragon King and others over there also changed. They, who were in the Black Wind Sect, knew the power of this new national master better than anyone else. I thought that the other party had ascended, but I didn't expect that this guy slipped away and came back again.
If he doesn't leave, when will he come forward?
"Didn't I miss you all and come back again?"
The substitute Wu Chong looked at Manchao Wenwu and grinned.
"I didn't expect you all to come together with me. There are quite a lot of people here today."
Next to him, Emperor Chen also laughed, and many important officials in the court, such as the Six Ministers, the Prime Minister, the prince, etc. also laughed together. Seeing this scene, many of the careerists in the court were frightened, and they felt vaguely that they seemed to be oversimplifying things.
This ascension might be a scam.
