Chapter 653 Promotion
Wen Rennuo fled to the outside of Liang State in one breath, and only then did he dare to take a breath, but he was still a little frightened.
"Even in this remote and secular place, I can still meet a Yuanying Zen Master. My luck is really not that good..." Wen Rennuo cursed in his heart, but asked:
"Master Jing, where did that gentleman come from? He was able to cross the vast void in his physical body, so he must be at least at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"
Jing Yu did not answer him, but was thinking about what had just happened.
The ginkgo tree that gave birth to intelligence was planted by him personally when he was still a prince in the State of Zhao. When he returned this time, he saw that it had turned into the spirit of plants and trees. He thought it was a good thing, but who knew that it would inexplicably pass away.
Jing Yu immediately felt something was wrong, and used the magical power of the mysterious mirror to illuminate the treasure tree, and actually revealed a golden destiny [Three Lives Karma Body] on the tree!
This result made Jing Yu laugh. "It is now the [1001st year of the Changsheng calendar]. The past incarnation of [Red Bearded Dragon] passed away and was born at the same time as Lu Yingzhao. This year, he just turned a thousand years old."
"Your present body was born with me, and you are now five hundred years old."
"According to the timeline, his future incarnation should indeed be born...but I never imagined he'd be reincarnated as a ginkgo tree, the one I planted?"
Jing Yu thought to himself, "If his future incarnation achieves enlightenment, would this be considered the great cause and effect of his grace in achieving enlightenment?"
Then he found it funny again: "I planted this future body of his with my own hands. I don't know what he will call me from now on."
Wen Ren Nuo called out to Jing Yu all the way, but seeing that this old man Jing didn't pay much attention to him, he stopped talking and just kept flying. After more than half a month, Wen Ren Nuo finally returned to the Heavenly Palace exhausted and went to the General Affairs Hall to hand in his task.
"My dear friend Wenren, your training mission has been successfully completed. You are now officially a disciple in the [Xiantian Dao Academy]."
Xi Yang Zhenren, who was on duty at the General Affairs Hall, stared at Wen Rennuo with a smile on his face. Even the dignified Golden Core Master had a hint of flattery in his expression.
"Foundation-building disciples who graduate from Renyi Wendao Academy will be assigned to various major temples. Now your transfer order has also arrived..."
Wen Rennuo calmly handed over a mid-grade spirit stone and asked, "Excuse me, Master Xiyang, which hall have I been assigned to?"
Wen Rennuo's bribe of a medium-grade spirit stone was not redundant. Although the foundation-building disciples who graduated from the [Wendao Academy] were automatically assigned to the major departments, there would still be a brief interview before being admitted to the department. If they failed the interview, they would be demoted to a worse department.
Therefore, it is extremely important to know the assigned Si Dian in advance, so that you can predict the interview questions in a targeted manner and increase the probability of admission of the preferred Si Dian.
In the past, simply revealing the name of a temple official wouldn't be considered a big deal, and it wouldn't even be considered cheating. After all, there was no way to verify the matter. But this time, Master Xiyang gently pushed aside the mid-grade spirit stone and whispered:
"Young friend Wenren, please report to the [Zhuxian Division] and you will find out which division hall you have been assigned to."
Wenren Nuo flipped his hand and unnoticedly put the mid-grade spirit stone away. He nodded gently, but thought to himself, "This old Taoist Xiyang is usually very greedy, why is he acting so out of character today? Could it be that I've really been…"
He did not hesitate and hurried to the [Zhuxiansi], and saw a fairy maiden of the Foundation Establishment Realm with low cultivation level already waiting there. She bowed to Wen Rennuo and said:
"Master Wenren, please follow me."
Wen Rennuo nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your help, Fairy."
But he was shocked: "I haven't been officially awarded the position yet, but I'm already calling you "Sir"... As expected!"
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, wandering among the pavilions and towers of the Heavenly Palace, and soon arrived in front of a towering palace.
"It is indeed the [Tian Dao Temple]!"
Wen Rennuo pretended to be surprised and happy, and asked repeatedly, "Fairy, I was assigned to the [Heavenly Dao Palace]?"
The fairy smiled and said, "Yes, my lord, you are now a member of the [Qian Gang Guard]... You have started with a seventh-rank official position, which is a starting point that even a foundation-building cultivator like me in the Heavenly Court would not dare to dream of."
"Thank you, Fairy, for showing me the way..."
Unexpectedly, the fairy stopped at the palace gate and said, "Sir, please enter the palace on your own."
"You're not going to continue leading the way?" Wen Rennuo asked in surprise, "Isn't there another interview? I'm not very familiar with the process."
"There is only one person in the hall at this moment. You will know once you go in and see."
Wenren Nuo nodded pretentiously. "Yes, the [Qian Gang Guard] guards the center of the Heavenly Palace and has the responsibility to protect His Majesty. The selection must be strict. Even if it is just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it has always been personally reviewed by the [Guard Commander] at the Nascent Soul stage..."
He then stepped into the main hall, but found that the place under the steps of the Tiandao Hall, where the commander of the Qiangang Guard, Wei Wudao, usually stood, was empty, and his face was stunned.
His gaze slowly moved upwards along the empty Danbi, and finally stopped at the Emperor's throne perched high above the nine-tiered jade steps.
On the throne, a figure dressed in a purple and gold robe was supporting his chin with one hand, looking at him with a half-smile.
The robe was woven with golden silk from silkworms, and its hem flowed like a rolling sea of clouds. A jade belt shrouded in purple mist was tied around the waist, and the buckle was shaped like a dragon holding its tail in mouth, and at this moment it was emitting a faint purple glow.
Wen Rennuo's pupils suddenly contracted.
That face, which was seven points similar to Xiao Shihua, now exuded a majesty that made him feel cold in his bones.
The man's originally loose black hair was tied up with a nine-dragon pearl crown, revealing his full forehead.
His eyebrows were like sword edges, slanting down into his temples, his eye sockets were as deep as the abyss, and his eyes seemed to contain countless laws of birth and death.
The bridge of her nose was as straight as a pillar of heaven, but her lip line was three points thinner than she remembered, and now it was curved in a subtle arc.
"how?"
The majestic voice of the Emperor of Heaven rang out from above the Danbi: "You met an old friend, and you didn't even say hello?"
As the words fell, the spiritual energy of the entire Tiandao Temple suddenly solidified.
Wenren Nuo's knees went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
"What a shame..."
Cold sweat slid down his spine into his pants, and the entire hall seemed to be inexplicably filled with the smell of urine.
Wenren Nuo's Adam's apple rolled, and he revealed a smile uglier than crying. His voice was so dry that it seemed to have been rubbed by sandpaper: "Your Highness... Your humble servant Wenren Nuo is here to pay his respects to His Majesty!"
The last syllable was still trembling, and the man had already prostrated himself at the foot of the Danbi.
The black floor tiles reflected his distorted face, which happened to meet the scrutinizing gaze cast down from the throne.
Although Wen Rennuo's heart wasn't as miserable as it appeared on the surface, he was still a little nervous: "Am I overacting?"
Xiao Guanying suddenly chuckled: "My dear, please stand up."
