Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Walking through the snow-covered streets, everyone followed Jiang Lu all the way to the palace in the deepest part of the royal city.

As they were walking along the long street, Dong Wangong, the sickle and the performer had already sensed that something was wrong.

But seeing that Jiang Lu and the three women in front of them didn't show anything unusual, the three of them looked at each other and had an expression that said "If you don't say anything, I won't say anything either."

The vermilion gate was inlaid with copper nails, sparkling in the sun.

Pushing open the long-dust palace door, Jiang Lu waved his hand to dispel the old and ancient atmosphere full of age. In the blink of an eye, the dust and gravel in the hall disappeared without a trace, replaced by bright and clean furnishings as new.

The interior of the hall was decorated magnificently. Twelve stone pillars carved with different auspicious beasts supported the ceiling. The walls were hung with brocade tapestries and the floor was covered with red velvet carpets made of unknown material. They were soft and comfortable to walk on. In the center of the hall stood a gorgeous dragon throne, and on both sides of the throne stood tall jade screens carved with lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns.

Although the hall was empty at this moment, the extremely luxurious style alone gave people a glimpse of the glory and bustle of the past.

The palace maids were dressed in gauze, looking graceful and dancing elegantly. Jiang Lu drank and had fun every day, indulging in sensual pleasures.

Such a picture comes alive on the paper, and I can still seem to hear the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo music that never stopped playing all day long.

"Does it sound good?"

Just when several people were intoxicated by the ethereal palace tune that was faintly heard in their ears, Jiang Lu suddenly asked.

Everyone looked and found Jiang Lu standing in the corner with a very classic gramophone next to him.

Scythe wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "So it wasn't an auditory hallucination?"

Jiang Lu turned off the phonograph and said with a smug smile, "I stole a lot of foreign stuff when I attacked Paradise before. It wasn't just this. I also stole a lot of good stuff. The severed hand of Venus is still in my Big Yin Museum."

"But isn't Venus from Olympus?" Dong Wanggong wondered.

"It doesn't matter. I am a coalition army of one country, fighting against eight of them. In fact, I was the one who burned down the pyramids." Jiang Lu was very domineering.

They were speechless. They had just felt that he had gained some divinity after overcoming the calamity, but they didn't expect it to disappear so easily.

However, when Olympus was mentioned, Jiang Lu thought of something.

“Hmm wait, I was having a headache originally. I don’t have any skills right now, so how can I quickly cultivate to the Lord God realm? But when you mentioned Olympus, I remembered an old friend of mine.” He murmured.

"Old friend?"

"Yes."

Jiang Lu nodded seriously:

"You may have heard of that old friend. His name is Zeus. He doesn't have a very good reputation. I'm actually just an acquaintance of him. We're not close. We've only met a few times. I've occasionally heard about some of his more outrageous behaviors, and I don't like them. I always take them as a warning. So even though I say we're old friends, we're not familiar with each other. I need to emphasize this point."

“You’re stacking buffs here?” the performer complained.

"Anyway." Jiang Lu didn't care: "He once gave me a secret technique that he had compiled for me to study. Although their cultivation system is slightly different from ours, it can be shared after my improvement. Now it is just right for me to use."

"That's not right." Scythe keenly caught the loophole: "You two have an ordinary relationship, why would he pass on the secret technique to you? Are you sure it's not a trap? After all, didn't you just say that you also attacked Olympus and stole Venus's broken arm?"

"Hmm." Jiang Lu's face flashed with embarrassment, and his eyes dodged. "It shouldn't be a trap. This person is stubborn and arrogant. Although he has a grudge, he is likely to share the good things. He is just showing off. He dares to do things like shitting on the street. It's normal for him to show off with good things, right?"

Scythe narrowed his eyes and said nothing more.

The unnatural expression, repetitive words and far-fetched reasons all prove that Jiang Lu is lying. Even if he is not lying, he must be hiding something.

But since he didn't want to say it, Scythe didn't bother to ask any more questions. In fact, based on the personalities of the two, he could probably guess what kind of mess was going on.

"So what exactly is it?" Hong Yi urged Jiang Lu to speak quickly.

Jiang Luze said succinctly: "Dual cultivation."

“Dual cultivation?” Dong Wanggong said disdainfully: “I thought it was something extraordinary. Dual cultivation is also practiced in the Three Pure Ones. The Hehuan Sect is the most accomplished one, and it’s just a side sect.”

Hearing this, Jiang Lu felt a little embarrassed. Although dual cultivation was not something high-end that could be boasted about, it was the painstaking work of him and his good brother Zeus, and he would never allow others to slander it.

"How much do you know!"

Jiang Lu pointed at the void:

"Those inferior things, what about the Hehuan Sect? Have they ever produced a main god? It's hard for them to become immortals. A bolt of lightning will kill these beakers, and the pink ones will be turned black. How can this compare to our hard work?
I'm not bragging to you, our dual cultivation can be used not only after becoming an immortal, but also after becoming a master god. It is not comparable to those vulgar and evil ways."

After these words were spoken, Duke Dong became more serious.

Could it be that although it is called dual cultivation, it actually has nothing to do with the so-called yin and yang cultivation between men and women?

Since even the Lord God can use it, does it mean that this is actually a very advanced skill, and I have preconceived ideas because of the name and have misunderstood it?
Thinking of this, Dong Wanggong also became interested. After all, he was the main god, but because he neglected cultivation, he was considered to be the weaker one among the main gods. He had some pretentiousness, but he was not so good when it came to real action.

If I could obtain this wonderful method, maybe I could go a step further. If I encountered a critical situation again, wouldn't I be as powerless as before, watching my sister being taken away by my brother?
He said with a little awe: "So your dual cultivation is so powerful. How do you do it in simple terms?"

"." Dong Wanggong was stunned, his expression gradually became ferocious: "?"

"I already said it's dual cultivation."

Duke Dong turned around dejectedly, sat on the long steps in front of the dragon throne, lowered his head and said nothing.

He is a young boy, so this is really difficult for him.

"So..." Hong Yi took a step forward with a firm expression.

"Yes." Jiang Lu stretched out his hands and placed them on Xuan Nu and Hong Yi's shoulders respectively: "I need your help."

"What about me?" Lu Qing asked anxiously.

"You haven't become an immortal yet, so you can't help me. Don't worry, just wait outside with them." Jiang Lu replied.

"This..." Although Lu Qing was extremely reluctant, he knew that this was not the right thing to do. He was doing business and this was not the time to lose his temper, so he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll wait outside with them."

Jiang Lu thought about it and said to the others, "If everything goes well, it will only take about three days."

"Three days." Dong Wanggong raised his head and asked: "Is it in time?" "It must be in time."

Jiang Lu is very sure:

"Even with the help of Yuanshi Tianzun, your sister won't be able to achieve the status of a Lord God faster than me. There is only one Yuanshi Tianzun, and I, although it seems like there is only one, actually there are two!"

Just as the last word came out of Jiang Lu's mouth, everyone clearly saw a tall and naked upper body shadow appear behind him.

The figure was holding a bottle of wine and had a lightning mark on his forehead. He was intimidating without even being angry. Although it looked like he was just drinking, the invisible pressure made everyone feel like they were facing Yuanshi Tianzun.

Zeus?!
Jiang Lu noticed the expressions of several people and turned to look at the performer who had been invisible next to the gramophone.

"Don't touch that, it's a projector."

"Oh."

The performer turned off the projector, and the shadow of Zeus was frozen at the moment before he took off his pants.

"Anyway, that's it for now."

After explaining the environment of the palace and the locations of its key facilities, Jiang Lu took Xuannv and Hong Yi to his own bedroom.

After a while, following the memory in his mind, Jiang Lu came to his own bedroom.

If the entire royal city is Jiang Lu's Miaomiao House, then the bedroom can be said to be the most core part of Miaomiao House, which Jiang Lu calls the back room.

The main feature is a strange room where once you enter, you cannot leave without permission.

After closing the door, Xuannv and Hongyi were both a little nervous.

After all, renting a room outside and going home have completely different meanings. It was their first time to come to Jiang Lu's home. Although this home had been abandoned for a long time, it still retained the various atmospheres of Jiang Lu's past life.

Xuan Nu looked around and sat on the bed somewhat stiffly. Just when she wanted to learn about Jiang Lu's past life, suddenly -

pat!

Two handcuffs made of black iron from outer space were handcuffed on her wrists as she leaned against the end of the bed.

"Ah! What is this?" Xuannv exclaimed.

Jiang Lu hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the mechanism, untied the handcuffs and retracted them, explaining awkwardly: "Well, don't touch it yet. How can I explain this room? I used to be in a high position, and there were many people who wanted to secretly murder me. I had to be on guard, so I set up some small mechanisms. I didn't expect that they would still be useful after so many years."

"So that's it." Xuannv nodded, indicating that she believed what he said.

Just as the two were talking, there was another exclamation from Hong Yi.

Jiang Lu looked in the direction of the sound and found that Hong Yi had somehow opened a lock, and then a locked cabinet popped out.

Of course, this was not the reason for her exclamation. What really scared her was that there was a hideous mummy in the cabinet.

The reason why it is said to be hideous is that you can see that it was in great pain before it died, and it seemed to have tried to scratch the cabinet open with its fingers.

Not only are there scratches all over the inside, but its finger bones are also obviously hypertrophied and enlarged.

This means that its fingers were broken many times and then grew back together many times. It is hard to imagine what kind of torture it suffered before it died.

Jiang Lu was horrified.

He suddenly remembered that he had a partner who liked to play claustrophobia. One day, she disappeared inexplicably. He searched for her for a while but couldn't find her. He gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, she was in his own closet.

It was obvious that she had accidentally forgotten about it, and was then locked inside this cabinet that was specially made to suppress spiritual power so that even immortal gods could experience suffocation and despair like ordinary people.

He walked forward quickly, pushed the cabinet back, and explained to Hong Yi guiltily: "Ah, I just said that I am often assassinated by assassins. Sometimes I am lucky enough to kill the assassin and then I can dispose of the assassin's body on the spot. It is also a very reasonable thing to do, right?"

"Is it reasonable?" Hong Yi was skeptical.

Just when this side was calmed down, Xuannv sat on something over there, and a pile of fairy ropes fell magnificently from the ceiling and hit Xuannv on the head.

She subconsciously jumped up from the bed and pushed to the wall, and happened to touch the secret compartment on the wall. A bunch of bottles and jars fell to the ground, and pills and potions were scattered all over the floor.

As soon as she touched the potion, even if just a few drops splashed onto Xuannv's calf, her condition immediately became abnormal.

After watching the whole process blankly, Jiang Lu pushed back the tool that popped out from the other wall in a blind spot where Hong Yi was not paying attention. Then he took a deep breath and asked Hong Yi with a puzzled look:
"Tell me, who has such a big grudge against me that he would make my room look like this?"

"Master, there is no trace of the evil demon within a thousand miles."

The Taoist boy reported the results of the search to the Lord of Daode.

This Taoist boy looks like a child, but his eyes are full of stories. He looks more like an old man who has seen many changes in the world. It's really weird.

Hearing this, Daode Tianzun swung the whisk in his hand, with a puzzled look on his face: "How could it be? Yuanshi never makes mistakes, not to mention that he asked me to handle this matter this time, so there shouldn't be any abnormality. Could it be that this evil demon could deceive my eyes?"

"Impossible. In this world, apart from Yuanshi Tianzun, no one can hide things from you, Master." The Taoist boy said respectfully and firmly.

Daode Tianzun was pleased in his heart, but he did not show it. Instead, he scolded: "Nonsense, where did you put the spiritual treasure? He can barely compete with me, an old Taoist."

The Taoist boy seemed to be used to such conversations, and replied as if by muscle memory: "Lingbao Tianzun is indeed powerful, but in my opinion, refining equipment and cultivating talismans is ultimately relying on external objects. In terms of strength, he is still not as good as you, Master, and Yuanshi Tianzun."

"You are short-sighted!" Daode Tianzun pretended to be angry, paused for a moment, and then taught him a lesson: "It's fine to say it in front of your master, but don't dare to say it in front of outsiders."

"Yes."

The two of them sang in unison and both felt happy.

"But I feel like something is wrong." Daode Tianzun thought for a moment, realized something, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone go down and search the ground!"

"As ordered!"

Behind him, thousands of heavenly soldiers and Taoist priests with immortal cultivation roared like thunder. (End of this chapter)
