Chapter 303 Fu Xian Great Formation
The Imperial Palace of Saint Han.
Everyone in the royal family was preparing for the empress's birthday. The empress's 5,000th birthday was no small matter. The officials from the Ministry of Rites who were in charge of the celebration had been preparing for it for several years. Now that the celebration was about to arrive, the officials were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep.
But in the Imperial Palace of the Divine Recuperation Hall, it was as peaceful as ever.
The Empress had been in seclusion for decades. In these decades, aside from occasionally leaving to attend court and deal with national affairs, she spent the rest of her time in the Imperial Palace of the Divine Recuperation Hall.
Under the flickering light of the lanterns, a peerlessly beautiful face could be seen.
However, at this moment, her beautiful face was frowning slightly, as if she was hiding something in her mind.
"Master, the Great Immortal Subduing Formation is ready. Once the celebration begins, it will activate on its own."
Outside the door, a seven or eight-year-old child slowly walked into the hall and bowed to the Empress.
Although the child called the Empress "Master", there was not much respect in his eyes.
"You … you really want to do this?"
"What?
Master has gone back on his words. Master's Soul Tempering Hundred Refinements has already reached a critical stage. He needs to refine the souls of a hundred thousand cultivators before he can break through the shackles. Once he succeeds, Master will be the number one True Immortal of the Immortal Martial Immortal Realm. At that time, both the human and demon races will have to bow their heads to Master.
"Cultivating the Body of the Blood Demon is your true intention."
The Empress stared coldly at the child in front of her. She was beginning to regret listening to this reincarnated demon child's nonsense.
But now that things had come to this, there was no turning back for Empress Providence, who was on the pirate ship.
"Hehe … Master is indeed Master. You've seen through your disciple's thoughts with a single glance."
"That's right, what I want is the flesh and blood of a hundred thousand cultivators. It doesn't conflict with Master's needs. Once the plan succeeds, Master and I can divide up the souls, flesh and blood of the hundred thousand cultivators. There won't be a single waste."
"Wait till Master successfully refines the Immortal Soul, and Disciple successfully cultivates the Blood Demon Physique. At that time, in this vast Immortal Martial Continent, no one will be able to oppose us. The Heavenly Dao Secret Treasure will then be ours!"
The more the child spoke, the more excited he became. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth. His expression was ferocious and full of greed.
"I've made too many mistakes in pursuit of immortality. Fine, I'll trust you one last time."
"Hehe, don't worry, Master. The Grand Immortal Subduing Formation is absolutely safe. The chess pieces that should be placed have already been placed in place. Once the celebration begins, it will be a good day to harvest."
The Demon Child let out a strange laugh, and his figure slowly merged into the darkness and disappeared.
..............
Even though it was almost midnight, there was still an endless stream of people on the streets.
Within the Treasure Hall.
...... Ning. Ning Qingying.....................
.....
Zhao Mu frowned. "What did you call me?"
Ning Qingying's cheeks flushed red as she gently said, "Husband."
"That's a good girl."
Zhao Mu carried Ning Qingying and walked into the house.
That night, the residents in the nearby streets faintly felt the ground tremble. They thought it was an earthquake and were scared out of their wits.
For the next few days, Zhao Mu was either strolling around the city with Xiang Ningbing or eating and drinking at the Treasure Hall. His days were rather carefree.
During this time, many people heard that Zhao Mu was at the Treasure Hall and wanted to pay him a visit. However, Zhao Mu didn't care about them at all.
It wasn't always a good thing to be famous. No matter where he went, he would easily become the center of attention.
There was another important reason why Zhao Mu didn't choose to stay at the imperial palace. It was to avoid trouble.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of the new year.
Tomorrow was the Empress' birthday celebration. Zhao Mu was almost done playing and it was time to settle down.
That day, he brought his disciple Xiang Ningbing to the imperial palace.
The imperial palace was huge and was divided into five areas. They were for the disciples of the other four sacred grounds and cultivators of other forces to stay in. The environment was extremely good. They even used a large spirit vein to ensure an adequate supply of spirit qi every day.
A conservative estimate was that there were 30 to 40 thousand cultivators living in the imperial palace alone. These were all famous and lucky people in the cultivation world. They were qualified to receive invitations from the Wuxiang Nation's imperial family.
There were also many itinerant cultivators who didn't receive invitations but wanted to participate in the celebration and see the world. However, they weren't qualified to enter the imperial palace. They could only stay in the inns in the inner city. Of course, the imperial family would pay for the expenses.
Itinerant cultivators were also a huge force. There were many outstanding ones among them. The Wuxiang Nation didn't dare to offend them easily and even tried to recruit them.
After all, the Wuxiang Nation was the most suitable place for itinerant cultivators to live. It was because of the support of itinerant cultivators that the Wuxiang Nation was able to grow stronger.
"So it's Prince Zhao from the Devil Sect. I've heard a lot about you. Prince Zhao, you have a distinguished status. Her Majesty has specially arranged an elegant courtyard for you. Please follow me."
The official in charge of receiving guests immediately became respectful after seeing Zhao Mu's invitation.
This official's cultivation level was also at the Conjoint Body realm and was even higher than Zhao Mu's. However, he had clearly heard of Zhao Mu's deeds and did not dare to slight him.
One had to know that the Celestial Realm warriors from the Four Great Holy Lands would not easily leave their homes. Among the various warriors who had come to attend the Empress' birthday celebration this time, in terms of status, Zhao Mu was at least one of the top three, if not first.
As the actual ruler of the Devil Sect, Zhao Mu had given enough face by personally attending the empress's birthday banquet. Naturally, the Wuxiang Nation would also show the corresponding sincerity.
Not long after, Zhao Mu was brought to an independent courtyard in the deepest part of the imperial palace.
This was already the innermost part of the inner city. Through the walls, one could even see the majestic palace not far away. It was only a walk away.
"Master, you're really amazing. This courtyard is called the Celestial Worthy Pavilion. It's the highest standard of reception for foreign guests in the Wuxiang Nation. Back then, when Fairy Ning Hua from the Inverted Hanging Mountain visited, she stayed here. The Empress already sees you and Fairy Ning Hua as equal guests."
Xiang Ning Bing looked at Zhao Mu with admiration, feeling more and more that she had followed a good master.
Zhao Mu smiled faintly. "Sooner or later, the Devil Sect will grow into an existence comparable to the Five Great Holy Lands. It's not impossible for it to even surpass the Five Great Holy Lands. This only proves that the Empress of Profound Secrets is well-informed. There's no need to be too surprised."
Not long after checking in, an official from the Ministry of Rites sent over the itinerary for the next day. The arrangements for the birthday celebration were very detailed, and the process seemed very cumbersome. It seemed that tomorrow would be a busy day.
In particular, Zhao Mu had not expected that the other Celestial Realm warriors would not come in person. In the end, he had become the most important guest of the birthday celebration. There might be more things waiting for him tomorrow. It was better to rest early.
