The Capital's Welcoming Immortals Ceremony
In fact, Gao Yunyi had arrived long ago.
They stood a thousand meters in the air.
He had been watching the entire chase by the group of men in black against the white-clad youth.
The weapons and Pills he originally placed in the cave in the valley were just a result of his wicked sense of humor.
I never thought anyone would actually get it.
But when you see that white-clad youth repeatedly escape danger, and then, as if he had a cheat code, arrive at that cliff,
Gao Yunyi was even wondering if the white-clad youth would not only survive the fall off the cliff but also find the weapons and Pill he had left in the cave.
Then he grows bigger and stronger, takes revenge, and eventually becomes a revered hero in the Jianghu, leaving behind a Jianghu tale that inspires envy and admiration.
The feeling of witnessing something that only happens in novels is completely different from seeing it with your own eyes.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Bai Suzhen was out searching for food on an empty stomach.
What a pity!!
Of course, Gao Yunyi didn't blame the gluttonous Bai Suzhen for ruining his mood for watching the show.
Of course you should pamper your own pet.
But...
Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?
Is this another one of your tricks?
Gao Yunyi raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky.
Every world has many protagonists who are blessed by destiny and have good fortune. They are like cockroaches that can't be killed, and they always get a lot of inexplicable fortuitous opportunities.
These protagonists will dominate their respective fields, reigning supreme for decades.
Therefore, this boy in white is also one of the protagonists of this world.
After all, someone who has suffered such a tragic fate and can still say things like "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" is no ordinary person.
This kind of protagonist with a destined destiny must have a lot of experience.
Unfortunately, he died before achieving his goal, leaving heroes to weep with sorrow.
She died in the mouth of the gluttonous Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen is not his Spirit Pet yet, so he can't share any experience with her.
That's such a waste.
Gao Yunyi touched Bai Suzhen's smooth, cool snake head, thinking that he should find an opportunity to kill a protagonist destined for greatness in the future.
Experience was secondary; what truly thrilled him was the feeling of defying fate.
Bai Suzhen's snake eyes narrowed slightly, her face showing enjoyment of her master's caresses. She felt her whole body soften slightly after being touched by her master.
After that mysterious blue light,
Its relationship with its owner has grown even closer.
That feeling of being connected in consciousness and soul was intoxicating and captivating, drawing it in so deeply that it couldn't extricate itself.
Huh?
Why did the owner let go of my hand?
No,
Keep touching it.
Xiaobai wants more.
Bang--
Gao Yunyi gently tapped Bai Suzhen's snake head with his finger.
"Stop looking at me like that, you snake. Anyone who didn't know better would think I have some kind of weird fetish."
Bai Suzhen flicked her tongue with a wronged expression, but still retracted her enormous snake head.
Once reason returned...
Bai Suzhen soon discovered something.
That Maybach Crane, senior bird
They've disappeared.
Isn't Senior Maybach Crane the master's Spirit Pet? Doesn't it always stay by the master's side?
Faced with Bai Suzhen's doubts,
Gao Yunyi simply explained:
"Because he did an excellent job, I rewarded him with a few days off to rest at home."
Ah???
So, do you get rewarded by your owner for doing a good job?
Then I must work hard from now on, and then my master will reward me handsomely.
Which reward should I choose?
I'm so conflicted and distressed.
Before Bai Suzhen could continue to indulge in her own fantasies, Gao Yunyi flicked his sleeve, and a flash of blue light appeared, taking Bai Suzhen's enormous body into the Spirit Pet Slot.
All the minor issues have been resolved.
It's time to do something big.
The emperor, officials, and common people in the Capital
Get ready to be struck by a dimensional attack from Immortal!!
Capital
In the center of the square outside the palace gates.
A Welcome Immortals Tower, hundreds of feet high, stands tall.
Spectacular, magnificent, grand, and imposing.
This was an architectural marvel built by imperial decree, which brought together all the skilled craftsmen in the Capital and countless laborers in less than two months.
The money, manpower, timber, and stone consumed were simply astronomical.
Such wasteful and extravagant behavior would have been condemned and vilified by those upright and incorruptible Censors long ago, leaving them with a tarnished reputation.
However, no one in the Capital dared to raise any objections to the Welcome Immortals Tower.
Simply because there really are immortals in this world.
As mortals, it is only natural and proper for them to welcome the Immortal from heaven.
The high-ranking officials and nobles in the Capital even volunteered to place their rare treasures in Welcome Immortals Tower as decorations, but His Majesty the Emperor refused outright.
Joke,
The Immortal's favor belongs only to him; how could he allow others to share it?
Your household junk can't possibly compare to my personal treasury.
Open,
Open my imperial Inner Treasury.
They moved all the rare treasures inside into the Welcome Immortals Tower.
I want the Immortals to see my sincerity and earnestness.
Then,
The already magnificent Welcome Immortals Tower is now filled with jewels and precious stones.
The messenger carrier pigeon from the Pacification Investigation Office arrived in the Imperial City yesterday. When Liang Emperor received the secret letter, his hands trembled and his heart pounded like a drum.
The Immortal has been found.
And it's really coming.
Then,
An imperial edict was issued from the Yangxin Hall.
The entire Capital was like a pot of boiling water, completely in an uproar.
Almost all the people went out of their homes and changed into clean clothes.
They splashed water to sweep the streets, repaired houses, hung colorful lanterns, pasted colorful paper, cleaned the city gate, and painted the archway...
Colorful canopies, brocade canopies, and colorful archways were erected on both sides of the imperial road, and colorful silks, lanterns, and banners were hung.
The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice all mobilized.
The Five-City Military Command patrolled the streets, while the Pacification Investigation Office secretly imposed martial law.
At this time, anyone who committed a crime, regardless of the severity of the offense or their social status, was imprisoned and then executed for disrespecting the Immortals and Gods, without any leniency whatsoever.
That's one way to put it.
Today is the day with the clearest public order in the history of the Capital.
The area within a radius of 500 meters of Welcome Immortals Tower was entirely protected by the Imperial Guards of the Imperial City.
The security was so tight and the protection so thorough that not even a fly could get past.
On the palace tower,
Those seated were the imperial concubines, grandsons, and princesses of the emperor.
Standing on both sides of the city walls were kings, nobles, generals, and high-ranking officials from the Six Ministries.
The area surrounding Welcome Immortals Tower was in close proximity to powerful and influential Aristocratic Clan, followed by officials, wealthy merchants, and ordinary people from all walks of life.
As for their emperor His Majesty...
He then stayed alone on the rooftop of the Hundred-Foot Welcome Immortals Tower, waiting for the Immortal's exclusive favor.
Centered on Welcome Immortals Tower,
This formed a hierarchical system with clear distinctions between superiors and inferiors.
The entire Capital was like a grand celebration of unprecedented scale, with everyone immersed in a sea of jubilation.
But from morning until noon,
From noon to evening,
They eagerly awaited the Immortal they had been waiting for.
But it never came.
