Chapter 62: Wuming Palace Imperial Spirit Envoys General Meeting
Spiritual realm
The magnificent palace is endless, and the palace complex is everywhere. The ground paved with fine white jade has a warm luster, and the exquisite floating windows carved with green tiles are extremely luxurious. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tile double-eaved palace roof looks particularly brilliant.
The exterior of the palace adopts a gorgeous and solemn style. The carved eaves, exquisite window lattices and huge stone pillars all demonstrate unparalleled craftsmanship and artistry.
In the center of the palace complex, the most magnificent one is the Wuming Palace.
A side hall of Wuming Palace
Eight huge red pillars were carved with giant black and gold dragons at the head and tail. The pillars stood in the side hall in the eight directions of the Eight Diagrams, and eight hazy figures surrounded by spiritual light were standing silently beside the pillars.
Spiritual Realm, Eight Great Spirit Masters!
"The underworld is becoming increasingly unstable. A storm is about to come." A spirit historian sighed.
"Indeed, have the evil spirits in the northwest area of Zhenhun Street not been dealt with yet?"
"It seems that there are also signs of the emergence of wonders in the northwest region."
"What is the Hall of Heroes doing? They are given so much power but they can't do anything right!"
"I have already sent a message to Lu Shuyu, asking him to come and report his position! Ask him what he does for a living!"
"If it doesn't work, remove him and let someone more capable take over!"
"If you remove him, he might even hope that you remove him. If you remove him, who will be the commander-in-chief?"
In fact, they all knew in their hearts that Lu Shuyu was not the right person to lead the Hall of Heroes, but there was no better choice.
Besides, it wasn't all Lu Shuyu's fault, but they were unwilling to mention the reasons for the decline of the Hall of Heroes. After all, the culprits for the decline of the first combat power organization in the Spirit Realm were the Spirit Masters.
There was silence again.
"Why not choose Jia Xinglie from the Hall of Heroes? Although he has a fiery temper, his combat power is extremely strong. He is just Jiaore, but he should not be underestimated at all."
A spirit guardian broke the silence.
"This person is absolutely unacceptable. He is unruly and dared to attack our subordinates when he was at Jiaore level. If we allow him to take power, he will surely become a vicious dog that kills his master in the future!"
"That's right. If we didn't need his service now, we would settle accounts with him later!"
The spirit master from before remained silent.
They didn't mention the reason for that day at all, they just wanted to see who dared to disobey them. They, the spirit masters, have always been so arrogant and looked down on everyone. Whoever disobeyed them, whoever made them lose face, was wrong.
The spiritual realm today is like the imperial court at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a young ruler and a precarious country. The previous Dayutian sacrificed himself to repair the Samsara Gate, and the current Dayutian is still young and has been completely sidelined.
All power is in the hands of eight spirit masters, who are divided into complex factions, each with their own ulterior motives and fighting against each other.
Just like the in-laws, eunuchs, and noble families fighting each other in the late Han Dynasty. The Eight Imperial Spirit Envoys are like the Ten Attendants, Yuan Feng, Yuan Wei, He Jin, and others, and the Great Imperial Heaven is like the Han Emperor Liu Bian.
"How about Xiang Kunlun from Yanghuang Street? Although his strength has not yet reached the Great Scorching Realm, he is very close and has great potential. He is the holder of the strongest human martial spirit and may be a good choice for the leader of the Hall of Heroes."
Xiang Kunlun possesses the spirit of an overlord and possesses one of the most powerful human martial spirits of the time, the Overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, whose reputation has even been heard of by the historian of imperial spirits.
"Strength is secondary. The key is loyalty to our Spirit Realm! Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?! Xiang Kunlun, it remains to be seen!"
"And Diao Lingyun. This little girl is also one of the strongest martial spirit holders. She has Lu Bu, the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, as her guardian spirit."
"This woman is too murderous and crazy. She is a double-edged sword. We never know when she will hurt us!"
An old but full-bodied voice sounded. Seeing that no one objected, the Imperial Spirit Master spoke again:
"Recently, I received a report from Dead Soul Island that a strongest human martial spirit holder and three martial god bodies just graduated from Dead Soul Island."
He considered his words and paused for a moment. The other seven Spirit Masters were surprised: "Three Martial God Bodies? One of the strongest human martial spirits? This is extremely rare. As long as they grow up, they will definitely be extremely powerful.
"I just received news from the Hall of Heroes that the three Martial God Bodies rejected the invitation from the Hall of Heroes. Only the holder of the strongest human martial spirit agreed to the invitation and has now successfully joined the Hall of Heroes."
"His name is Li Ye, a descendant of the Li Tang dynasty. His guardian spirit is Li Cunxiao, one of the most powerful human martial spirits in the world."
"Although his strength is still lacking, his character is guaranteed by Dead Soul Island. Perhaps he will listen to us obediently."
"Descendant of Li Tang? Are you sure he has no ambitions to emulate his ancestors?"
The imperial historian continued.
"But now is a time of trouble, the strength of the leaders of the Hall of Heroes must be strong. No matter what their character is, strength must be put first, otherwise this sword will be broken by the rock sooner or later."
"How about this, putting all three of them under observation for another year or two? Although Lu Shuyu is not very capable, he is powerful after all. Let these two grow for a while. When they are strong enough, we can choose the one who is suitable to become the sharp blade in our hands!"
A royal historian made some pertinent suggestions.
Voices of various discussions were heard, and the originally empty and quiet palace was soon filled with noise.
After a brief discussion, the other imperial historians nodded in agreement.
The Imperial Spiritual Master exchanged a few words and decided the general trend of the Hall of Heroes. To them, the Hall of Heroes was just a knife in their hands and a dog they raised.
After all, they are the high and mighty spirit controllers, the rulers who dominate all the spirits in the underworld.
"There is one more thing. Not long ago, there seemed to be something abnormal with the seal in the center!!"
The spirit master who mentioned the body of the God of War spoke in a heavy voice. One could imagine that his complexion under the spiritual light must not look very good.
Upon hearing this, the other seven imperial spirit historians were all shocked.
"What should I do?!"
"Has the thing inside broken the seal and come out?"
"What about the other four seals? Are there any abnormalities?"
"Li, what's the situation?"
The expressions of all the imperial spirit historians changed color, and their words were filled with deep sorrow, no longer as calm and composed as before.
Yuling Shi Li waited until the sound gradually faded before he slowly spoke:
"Everyone, rest assured. The seal is still solid. It's just that someone has entered it. But we can't let our guard down. If the seal is destroyed during our tenure, how can we face the late king?!"
"That's good, that's good. Maybe it's just someone or an undead who accidentally broke in. Li, you don't have to worry."
"Yes, those seals have never had any problems since ancient times. We are probably worrying too much."
The seven imperial spirit historians were relieved, quietly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and regained their composure, chatting and laughing happily.
Only the old eyes of Yuling Shili were deep and profound under the spiritual light. "I hope we have entered by mistake. That is the Great Thousand Worlds..."
The meeting ended and all the imperial spirit envoys left.
The imperial spirit envoy walked outside the palace and stood on a high place, looking at the magnificent and splendid palace. Obsession and greed flashed in his eyes, revealing a fanatical desire, but soon he controlled his expression and returned to his previous calm and composure.
He turned around and looked deeply at the huge Wuming Palace, then turned and left.
