Chapter 143: Langhuan's Inner Palace
Chongxue Peak or Chongxue Collection, these are all peripheral areas of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Scholars are similar to outer disciples, undergoing learning and trials in the peripheral areas and undergoing selection.
The Inner Palace is the true sect area of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace. Only scholars who have been selected and have the right to enter here possess the formal disciple status of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace, also known as inner disciples.
With this status, they are qualified to leave a life lamp in the Inner Palace. If it is lost while traveling outside, the Langxuan Heavenly Palace will take responsibility for it.
In contrast, if something happens to a scholar, whether the Langxuan Heavenly Palace will take responsibility or not depends on fate.
There is a fundamental difference in treatment between the two.
However, today, Chu Shen has not yet obtained the formal disciple status and has come to the Bing Mansion.
Accompanying him are Dan Tai Liyue, Li Jinrong, and others, who are also allowed to enter.
The scenery outside the Heavenly Palace is already magnificent, but the scenery inside the Inner Palace is even more extraordinary.
There is a storm and thunder barrier as a barrier, separating the inside and outside. Only specific routes can be used to enter and exit.
Chu Shen, who has already received the inheritance of a senior formation master, immediately realized when he entered with the disciples leading the way that this is an exquisite and extraordinary sacred formation. In addition to the obvious power of wind, fire, and thunder, there are also mysterious spatial fluctuations within it.
Although he couldn't see through it, it still shocked him inexplicably and benefited him greatly.
At the end of the route, the space is directly transformed, crossing different realms. Looking back, there is no trace of the storm and thunder, only clear skies and fertile land.
He can be certain that this place and the outskirts of the Heavenly Palace are absolutely two different worlds, connected by a special passage, but the actual distance is infinitely far.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the inner palace far exceeds that of the outskirts of the Heavenly Palace, and it is not comparable to the mortal world. The countless rare birds and exotic animals nurtured here also indicate this difference. There are even different species resembling dragons and phoenixes playing and frolicking here. There are even more species that prefer high-concentration spiritual energy environments, which are rarely seen in low-concentration environments.
The majestic Immortal Mountains and vast Star Seas complement each other and are scattered throughout this place. The Xianfeng Mountain Range, which is more spiritually powerful than the Fumu Mountain, is the residence of different branches of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.
As Chu Shen knows, the Langxuan Heavenly Palace has a total of ten branches, with the main branch being controlled by the Holy Lord, and the other nine branches being managed by the nine elders.
From the brilliance of the flying swords, flying boats, and magical instruments flying from various Immortal Mountains, it is generally possible to distinguish the distribution of the ten major branches, which are relatively distinct from each other.
However, although this domain is vast, it is not endless at a glance. Looking up, one can still see the end of the inner palace, with an unknown scene of heaven and earth cracking. After the clear sky and blue earth, there are endless stars and the appearance of the universe. It gives the feeling that this place is like a fragment drifting in the void, rather than a complete world.
Without expressing these thoughts to others, he silently observes until the team arrives in front of a huge Immortal Mountain that seems to be carved from jade.
This is the Langxuan Immortal Peak, the location of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace itself, where the sect's Holy Lord resides.
Although still far from the Immortal Peak, the disciple leading the way has already stopped the flying sword and is suspended in mid-air, respectfully bowing towards the direction of the Immortal Peak, saying, "Following the orders of the Holy Lord, Chu Shen, an outer disciple, has arrived at the Langxuan Immortal Peak to pay respects."
Chu Shen and the others can feel an invisible, gentle yet undeniably present force lingering around the Langxuan Immortal Peak, passing over them.
It is unknown whether this is a security check or identity verification.
Then, a clear and melodious crane cry resounds from the Langxuan Immortal Peak, and a large-sized immortal crane flies towards the crowd like a stream of light. Before it gets close, the crowd is already gasping in shock.
Have you ever seen the Xianhe that is comparable in size to the An-225?
Chu Shen saw it today.
He couldn't understand how these giant creatures grew.
Fortunately, these accomplished beings can transform. As they approached, the Xianhe gradually shrank and transformed into a cute and adorable childlike appearance. It was pink and lovely, but no one dared to underestimate him.
"The Holy Lord has spoken. Regarding the scholar Chu Shen, although he is only at the Foundation Building stage, he possesses the spirit of a great scholar and has achieved remarkable feats. He has made a name for himself within the seas and has spread his influence among various teachings. This has greatly enhanced the glory of our Langxuan and illuminated our Heavenly Palace. He has also contributed to the merit of this world. I am deeply gratified and find it difficult to reward him enough to meet the expectations of the public.
Therefore, he is hereby promoted to the inner court and will join the Langxuan Peak lineage. He will receive personal guidance and be included in the ranks of the outstanding individuals.
Considering my urgent seclusion, I currently have no spare time to personally instruct him. Langxuan Peak has no available arrangements, so Lingjue Peak will temporarily assume the role of mentor and make appropriate arrangements."
After finishing speaking, a set of neatly folded disciple robes, a disciple sword, a disciple waist token, and a storage bag appeared out of thin air in front of Chu Shen. Through his divine sense, he could tell that the storage bag contained extremely abundant resources, including spiritual stones, pills, talismans, materials, and even several magical treasures. Among them, there was even a high-grade alchemy furnace... It was truly generous.
This was the treatment he received as a promoted disciple and as a personal disciple of the Holy Lord of Langxuan Heavenly Palace.
Unfortunately, his master, the Holy Lord, was still in seclusion and couldn't personally accept him as a disciple. Instead, he entrusted him to Lingjue Peak for guidance.
Hmm? Lingjue Peak? It seems that the senior sister, Shen Yingzi, is a disciple of Lingjue Peak. Could it be that his master, the Holy Lord, entrusted him to Lingjue Peak because of this relationship?
Without waiting for him to think too much, the Crane Immortal Child looked at him and bowed, saying, "Junior Brother Chu, the Holy Lord's divine inspiration is surging, and this rare opportunity requires seclusion. The arrangement this time is somewhat rushed, so I hope you understand."
Chu Shen quickly said, "Master's kindness is deeply appreciated by this disciple."
Since the Holy Lord acknowledged him as his direct disciple, he was now his master, and he could respond as a disciple.
Moreover, this reward was extremely generous. As the sacred land of cultivation, the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, and the leader of the palace, the Holy Lord, accepted him as a disciple, and even as a formally transmitted disciple. What more could he ask for?
To put it arrogantly, in the future, he would have enough achievements, even to compete for the position of the Holy Lord of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace. This was the value of the status given to him by the Holy Lord!
Li Jinrong, who was beside him, was green with envy.
If she had this status, her emperor father would definitely no longer think of sending her for a political marriage. He might even consider giving her a position as a national teacher or a position that could protect the imperial family!
But now, she probably wouldn't have to go for a political marriage (with Li Nuo). As long as she gave birth to Chu Shen's child and confirmed her relationship with Chu Shen, even if she became a concubine, her emperor father, considering the face of the future potential Holy Lord, would probably have to reluctantly accept this loss!
Yes, liberation was within reach!
Although Lu Wuxia was a bit silly and cute, she also understood the value of the reward Chu Shen had received this time. However, what she was thinking was whether or not she should show off in front of those people who had treated her badly in the past and had been sarcastic towards her.
Shangguan Shurong, as always, didn't care about such matters.
On the other hand, Dantai Liyue covered her mouth, looking surprised, as if she hadn't expected her own husband to have such an experience.
"By the way, Junior Brother Chu, there is one more thing that I need to trouble you with temporarily," the Crane Immortal Child was originally planning to leave after finishing the matter, but suddenly remembered something and turned back around. "The Holy Lord will be in seclusion, and the entire Langhuan Immortal Peak will be closed. Everyone will have to temporarily move to other immortal mountains and spirit peaks. But you have a large number of people and a family to take care of, so this arrangement..."
