The Council Chamber

"Since that's what you say, Immortal Master, I will investigate further to avoid any oversights."

Hearing Fang Zelin's words, the City God pondered for a moment before responding.

According to the immortal in front of us, we should follow the rules.

If that's the case, then let's check it out; it'll be quick anyway.

Thinking of this, the City God immediately picked up the Yin Scroll and shone it on Tianxi in front of him.

The next moment, everything about Tianxi was revealed one by one from the Yin Scroll.

After carefully reviewing the records in the Yin scroll and finding no mention of the other party causing harm, the City God was not surprised.

Since the immortal had just said so, he naturally felt that the demon in front of him must be as the immortal had described.

"The scroll already states that this demon has not committed any evil deeds. Since the immortal master intends to keep him by his side, there is naturally no problem with it."

After the City God finished reading the Yin scroll, he spoke to Fang Zelin.

Fang Zelin nodded immediately upon hearing this, "In that case, thank you for your trouble."

"It's alright, it's just my duty."

Seeing that the matter was settled and that the other party had nothing else to discuss, Fang Zelin chatted for a while before taking his leave.

The City God also got up and saw them off to the entrance of the City God.

Only after Fang Zelin disappeared did he return to his own residence.

"My lord, is this the renowned Wine Sword Immortal of Wine? Judging from his Immortal Elder Fang, he seems rather young."

Although immortals possess methods to prolong their lives, one can still discern to some extent from their appearance whether they have attained enlightenment in a timely manner.

After all, no matter how long one lives or how much one attains enlightenment, there is no such thing as reversing aging.

If one attains enlightenment, one will already be old and gray-haired; after extending one's lifespan, one will also appear as a middle-aged Daoist.

Even more so, some might appear to be seasoned veterans.

If one attains enlightenment as a child, then one will appear as a child.

However, such situations are very rare.

Most of those who cultivate immortality appear to be middle-aged Daoist priests.

Some, however, will gradually grow old as their lifespan is nearing its end.

The immortal being we just spoke to, while not appearing as a child, was also not a middle-aged Daoist priest.

Given this situation, the immortal before us must have attained enlightenment very early.

"The affairs of cultivation are beyond our knowledge. Even if this immortal attained enlightenment early, there is nothing wrong with it; on the contrary, it is a good thing."

"Think of those dynasties of the past. When their fate was nearing its end, demons and monsters wreaked havoc, and we were powerless to stop them. Only those who cultivated immortality could avert disaster. Now that such an immortal has emerged, it is truly a good thing."

After the Prefect finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that the tour of Youjing City should continue.

"So this is what the Underworld Bureau looks like. I thought it would be a creepy and eerie place."

After walking a little further away, Tianxi quietly looked back and saw that the City God was no longer in sight. She then said with lingering fear.

She was genuinely terrified.

I had never seen what the Underworld Bureau looked like before, and today I was taken in, with the City God by my side.

She, a mere demon, had never witnessed such a spectacle before, so how could she not be afraid?

Fortunately, a benefactor was by their side, and they escaped danger today.

Seeing the other person's lingering fear, Fang Zelin found it somewhat amusing.

"You haven't done anything heinous, so what are you afraid of?"

"Even if you haven't done anything wrong, you're still afraid. Just like ordinary people, even if you haven't done anything wrong, you're still afraid when you see a ghost."

Tianxi, however, felt that there was nothing wrong with her being so afraid.

After speaking frankly, I felt less afraid.

After learning that the Underworld Bureau officials also acted according to the rules, she was indeed less afraid.

"Young master, shall we go into the palace tonight to take a look, or shall we go tomorrow?"

Knowing that Fang Zelin was going to the palace, Tianxi asked one more question.

"Tomorrow, perhaps. It's already late today, and a late-night visit would be rather presumptuous, especially since we'll need to use a trick to get in."

Upon hearing this, Tianxi nodded and, upon returning to the inn, immediately booked two guest rooms.

Wait until the next morning.

After Fang Zelin got up, he summoned Tianxi, and the two of them immediately used a trick to walk towards the palace.

The two swaggered through the gate and then made their way to the depths of the palace.

The Great Qian Imperial Palace was indeed extremely large; if Fang Zelin hadn't relied on his Law Technique, he would have easily gotten lost.

If an ordinary person were to enter this palace, they would likely be unable to find their way.

After walking around the palace for a while, they soon arrived at the meeting place of the Emperor of the Great Qian and his ministers.

At this moment, Tianxi suddenly looked up, her expression showing some shock.

Fang Zelin noticed Tianxi's unusual behavior and followed her gaze.

But what they saw was that above the imperial palace was precisely where the Human Race Karmic Fortune of the Great Qian was concentrated.

The surging Human Race Karmic Fortune are invisible to ordinary people.

Fang Zelin could see it clearly at this moment, and could also feel the density and concentration of this fortune.

Such Human Race Karmic Fortune resides here; if Fang Zelin were to disturb it, he would suffer a tremendous backlash.

"Haven't you already seen the Human Race Karmic Fortune? What's so interesting about this?"

The Human Race Karmic Fortune isn't limited to Youjing City; it exists in every place in the Great Qian Dynasty where people live.

It's just a matter of quantity.

The village where Tianxi lived before was also a place where the Human Race Karmic Fortune was concentrated.

"The previous Human Race Karmic Fortune seemed rather weak, but seeing the Human Race Karmic Fortune in Youjing City now, one can truly feel the strength of the Human Race Karmic Fortune in the Great Qian Dynasty. It is truly astonishing."

Upon hearing this, Tianxi seemed somewhat moved.

She had a premonition that even if she touched upon the Human Race Karmic Fortune in the slightest, she would suffer even the slightest backlash.

Just that little bit was enough to reduce her to ashes in an instant.

"That's true. With such a strong aura and level of cohesion, even I wouldn't dare to touch it lightly."

Fang Zelin nodded in deep agreement, then gestured with his hand, "Alright, come with me to the back of the main hall and see what the current emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty is like."

Having said that, he took the lead and entered the main hall.

When Fang Zelin arrived at the main hall, he soon heard discussions inside.

The appearance behind the main hall was quite different from what Fang Zelin had imagined.

Behind the main hall, the scene of ministers standing and talking as before was no longer present.

At first glance, a huge table was placed in front of them.

At the very front was a man dressed in a dragon robe, while his ministers sat to his left and right.

Clearly, this was a change made by the Great Qian Emperor, and he did not continue the previous royal practices.

The approach is quite modern.

As Fang Zelin entered, the man on the dragon throne seemed to sense something and glanced towards the door, but saw nothing.
