Antiquity

Chapter 2 Prelude
6 years later, near Huajing Pool of Qingchi Palace in Qilian Mountains.

The two celestial beings with their feet on auspicious clouds looked at each other bitterly, their round eyes full of remorse.

"Wuxu, what should we do? We lost the congratulatory gift. If Shangjun finds out, he will have to blame us. If I knew it, I would not be greedy for the fairy dew from Huajing Pond. I set off earlier, and now... hey , What do you think we should do?" The round-faced fairy sighed, looking at the fairy friend who always had a lot of ideas, and asked anxiously.

With Lord Ziyuan's temper, if they lost such a valuable congratulatory gift, they might be punished to go to Qinglongtai to be flogged. This would cost thousands of years of immortal foundation, at least to say the least.

Huajing Pond is a well-known blessed place in the Three Realms. The celestial dew gathered in the pool every day when the sun rises can enhance the power of the celestial beings. In the enchantment, although many immortals covet this place, no one has ever dared to break in without authorization.

Donghua Shangjun's birthday banquet, the two of them carried gifts first under the order of their own Ziyuan Shangjun. Passing by here, seeing the fairy energy overflowing from the pool, curiously found that the barrier had broken a gap the size of a fist. Couldn't help sneaking into the Immortal Pond to steal some fairy dew, and when he hurried out, he accidentally dropped the Heli Donghai Wannian coral tree into the pool. When he tried to enter again, the small hole had disappeared. I can sigh at the Huajing Pool in the enchantment.

The immortal known as Wuxu flicked his long sleeves, looked at the Huajing Pool not far away with a bitter face, and shook his head: "Wu Wang, Huajing Pool is in the enchantment of the ancient king and God, if we continue to privately Breaking in and being discovered is a much more serious crime than losing the Lord's congratulatory gift, and you haven't heard of what happened to that dragon back then?"

Hearing this, Wu Wang shuddered, waved his hands again and again, and took a few steps back tremblingly, almost fell off the auspicious cloud in shock.

Of course he has heard of what Wuxu said... 2 years ago, the dragon clan in the demon world gave birth to an immortal genius, Yao Heng. At the age of only [-] years old, his demon power reached the peak of the demon king, approaching the realm of the gods, even The demon emperor avoided the front for the time being. Fortunately, this demon disdain the throne, so the civil war among the demon clan was avoided.But he likes to compete with others very much, and he has a violent temper. Those who are invited to fight by him will end up with their souls scattered.

All of a sudden, all the celestial beings from all over the world were panic-stricken, afraid of being approached by this monster for a decisive battle, and in desperation, those who retreated to retreat and visited friends to visit friends all avoided.After all, this is not a trivial matter to lose face. If it is not done well, the cultivation base of tens of thousands of years may be scattered like this.

After having no opponents among the demon tribe, Yaoheng left the demon world and went straight to Huajingchi to challenge the ancient god, because both of them were transformed from jiao, and the ancient god had not appeared in front of people for several years, and the immortals couldn't help but I held a bit of anticipation and anxiety.

If Gujun Shangshen is also defeated, then...in the Three Realms, only the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen of Heaven can be their opponents.

Yaoheng provocatively outside the Huajing Pool for several days, but was never able to enter the enchantment, and even the hair of the ancient king, the God, was not touched. Under the rage, violent winds and torrential rains rolled up, causing floods in the lower realm, and the common people Displaced, with countless deaths and injuries, this has attracted the taboo of several high gods. You must know that the gods in the sky and the earth know that there is an iron law in the Three Realms-the human world, which is the foundation of the Three Realms, must never be harmed.

When Lord Jinyao was anxiously following the order of the Emperor of Heaven to capture Yaoheng, three black lightning bolts burst out from the enchantment of Huajing Pond, and landed on the body of the monster dragon that turned into a dragon body and made waves in the lower realm.

Even before the sound of wailing could be heard, the huge dragon circling in the air instantly turned into flying smoke. The real soul flew away, and the existence closest to the God in the Three Realms for tens of thousands of years... just like this in an extremely tragic, Even disappeared in the Three Realms in a joking manner.

After this incident, the Three Realms were shaken, especially Shangjun Jinyao. He watched Yaoheng being chopped down until there was not even a speck of ashes left. One blow was sublimated into radiance, and its historical achievements could even be written into the ancient history of the Three Realms.

Thinking of this, Wuwang also stopped thinking about trespassing on the Huajing Pool, and suggested to Wuxu: "Why don't we visit Qingchi Palace and say... just say that we passed by here and accidentally dropped the coral tree. fell into the Huajing Pool."

Wuxu looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, and his two eyebrows frowned: "Are you confused? Gujun Shangshen is not there, Fengran Shangjun is in charge of Qingchi Palace now, she and our Shangjun Some festivals, how can you agree to our request?"

Wu Wang knew that this proposal was inappropriate, but there was really nothing he could do. Immortal Ziyuan of his family was the Supreme Lord, and even in Jiuchongtian, few people dared to offend him, but if it was Gu Jun Shangshen and Feng Ran What Shangjun said... I can't say for sure.

Wuwang turned around on the auspicious clouds, but he was unwilling to go back and be punished, his eyes lit up and he raised his voice suddenly: "Wuxu, the ancient king is not here, there is still a High God in Qingchi Palace Well, no matter how domineering Lord Feng Ranshang is, he wouldn't dare to attack us in front of God!"

Wuxu's foot softened, and he hastily stretched out his hand to cover Wuwang's mouth. He looked around, and when he saw that it was very quiet, he let out a long breath, and scolded in a low voice: "Why did you come up with such foolish ideas? But don't mention this God, if you let Princess Jing Zhao know that you have asked her for help, you will never have a good life in the heavens. I am afraid that the coral tree will not come back, let's go back and report to the fairy. " Wuxu turned around and left after finishing speaking, but Guan didn't care about Wuwang behind him.

Wuwang is a little fairy who has only ascended in the past few thousand years. Seeing Wuxu as if he was facing a formidable enemy, he could only respond in a low voice, and followed him to fly away. Looking at the smaller and smaller Huajing Pool... a murmur arose in my heart, why on earth would the High God of Qingchi Palace be regarded as a taboo by the Three Realms?
In Qingchi Palace.

The phoenix spread its wings on the golden robe like flying to the sky, and the pure black belt was loosely tied around the waist. The woman sitting on the high seat looked at the coral tree that was as tall as an adult in front of her, and she was in a good mood, and her hearty laughter spread far away.

"Chang Que, that fellow Zi Yuan is at a loss this time, tsk tsk, it grows so tall, I think this coral tree must be at least ten thousand years old."

This woman has an insolent expression, and her long blood-red hair is calm and unmoving, and she is full of evil spirits, not to mention that there is an evil spirit in her speech that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

Next, a young man dressed as a scholar arched his hands at her with a serious expression: "Shangjun, those two immortals are so courageous that they dared to sneak into the Huajing Pond. They simply don't pay attention to our Qingchi Palace. You Absolutely not to be tolerated, and I must argue with Immortal Ziyuan.”

Feng Ran's smile froze, secretly thinking that he must not let this person know that he intentionally made a hole in the enchantment to attract those two greedy little fairies into the Huajing Pool, otherwise he would definitely be nagged by him and put on a show right away. Positively said: "What is there to talk about with that villain, this time Donghua Laoer's birthday banquet, I want him to make a good apology to this fairy."

Chang Que paused for a moment, seeing that his superior was very energetic, he couldn't help mentioning in a low voice: "Sir, Donghua didn't hand you an invitation."

Donghua Shangjun is one of the oldest Shangjun in the Three Realms. He has always been highly respected and admired by the immortals. He is obsessed with cultivation and rarely holds banquets. This time he could not stand the persuasion of his disciples before sending a post to the immortals. Now he is peaceful For the Three Realms of Wubo, this is a huge event, so this time even Ziyuan Shangjun, whose eyes are above the top, rushes to congratulate.

But the fairy monarch of his family has only been the emperor for thousands of years, not to mention that he has made many enemies, and is not tolerated by the Three Realms. How could he invite her to the whole lively and grand banquet?
"That's true. If I don't ask myself to go, with Zi Yuan's villainous personality, he will definitely find an excuse to beat me up."

Fengran frowned, raised her chin and muttered to herself. She glanced at Chang Que, and saw the young man standing up straight, with his eyeballs moving maliciously. He probably doesn't know this guy... As long as he has a guilty conscience... , always put on an extraordinarily serious face to confuse the public.

Fengran kicked the leg hanging in the air and touched the young man's belt: "Speak, Chang Que, you must have a way."

Chang Que shook his head and closed his mouth tightly.

"Hey, Gujun Shangshen has disappeared for so long, and now even a mere Ziyuan doesn't pay attention to our Qingchi Palace. If things go on like this..."

Seeing the young man's ears move, she knew that she had hit his weakness, and she sighed more and more with emotion.

"Although Shangjun Donghua didn't send you an invitation, but... he sent it to Qingchi Palace." As the name suggests, he sent an invitation to the real master of Qingchi Palace, Gujun Shangshen.

Fengran grinned, jumped down from the wide chair, slapped Chang Que heavily, and said with a smile: "I knew you had a way, so hurry up and give me the invitation, and in a few days, we will back up A generous gift to Donghua’s old man’s birthday banquet.”

Blatantly arrogant, this is not for someone's birthday, it is simply a provocation, Chang Que sighed, and then said: "How can it be so simple, Shangjun, don't even think about it, Shangshen's invitation... ...You stick to the post, I am afraid that you will be caught by the emperor and taken to the heaven to question your crime before you leave the mansion of Donghua Shangjun."

Fengran's laughter faltered, and she took two steps in distress, then stopped suddenly around the coral tree, and slapped fiercely on the crystal clear branch, looking at Chang Que with horror.

There was a mysterious smile on the corner of Feng Ran's mouth, his eyes rolled, and he waved his hands proudly at Chang Que: "I don't dare to run around the Three Realms with the invitation card of Gu Jun Shangshen, but don't forget ... There is not only one High God in Qingchi Palace."

Chang Que's eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his finger to Fengran. After recovering, he felt disrespectful, and hurriedly put it down, but his expression was still awkward and strange.

"Shangjun, don't you want the little Shenjun to take the invitation from the Shangshen to Donghua Shangjun's banquet?" Chang Que asked stammeringly, his eyes were a little absurd.

"exactly."

"However, the little god has never stepped out of Qingchi Palace..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll stay with her, and I won't let her suffer."

After Feng Ran said this, she ran towards the back hall of Qingchi Palace, and Chang Que, who was standing in the hall, looked at her disappearing back with a face full of self-blame.

If I had known... I wouldn't have brought up this idea with Mr. Shang.

What can I say not to let the little god suffer? With the little god's temperament... I'm afraid Donghua Shangjun's birthday banquet will be unlucky.

Lord Baixuan, you should come back quickly, otherwise... this Qingchi Palace will soon be demolished by Lord Feng Ranshang!
Heaven Realm Zijin Mansion.

Zi Yuan looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and shouted angrily, "What's going on? What about the congratulatory gift?"

He was about to go to Donghua Shangjun's Dazeshan mansion on a cloud to pay his respects to his birthday, but he didn't want to see Wuxu and Wuhuang running back to the mansion with injuries all over their bodies.

The congratulatory gift is a coral tree that grows only ten thousand years ago. He has always been a treasure, and he is not willing to let people take a look at it. If it wasn't for Donghua Shangjun's birthday banquet this time, he would never be willing to give it away.

"Sir, the two of us met monster soldiers near Qilian Mountain, and the coral tree was left behind during the fight. Your forgiveness." Wuxu knelt on the ground and promised, with a guilty conscience flashing across his eyes.

Qilian Mountain is where the Qingchi Palace is located. When Ziyuan heard this, his expression was stunned, and most of his anger lost, but he still felt sorry for the coral tree, so he tightened his face and said: "Even if it is lost near the Qilian Mountains It’s no wonder for you, but you don’t do enough to protect the treasure, so let’s do it... Each person will be punished with a high-grade fairy sword, and sent to the treasure house tomorrow.”

Ziyuan Shangjun has a righteous and dignified good-looking, but in his bones he is a headstrong and conceited person who likes face.

Wuxu and Wuwang's feet softened, and their faces hanging down to the ground inevitably showed some dissatisfaction and hesitation. They had only obtained a few high-grade fairy swords after tens of thousands of years of becoming immortals, and they always looked like lifeblood. You put it lightly...

"Why, you don't want to..."

An arrogant and coercive voice came from the top of their heads, Wuxu and the two fell to the ground immediately, and said respectfully: "Don't dare, Shangjun is very virtuous, Wuwang and I will send the fairy sword tomorrow." Well, it's better to lose a fairy sword than to go to Qinglongtai to be whipped.

Lord Ziyuan is notoriously stingy and domineering, but he has a good relationship with His Highness Jingyang, the great prince of the Nine Heavens.

"Shangjun, then... a congratulatory gift for Donghua Shangjun..." Wu Wangjian raised his head and spoke in a low voice after not hearing Ziyuan Shangjun's order for a long time.

"Don't worry about it, let's go out with me tomorrow. Hmph, at the feast of Shangjun Donghua, I would like to say something friendly to all the immortal friends... Fengran has always been domineering, turning all the thousands of miles of Qilian Mountain into Qingchi Palace, Now that she doesn't look down on Gujun Shangshen's portal and let the monster race ravage the Nine Heavens Paradise, this time I will definitely let her lose face."

The two kneeling shuddered abruptly, Wu Wang opened his mouth to say something, but Wu Xu grabbed him, and the two of them pleaded guilty and retreated.

As soon as he reached the courtyard, Wu Wang looked around and saw that no one was busy pulling Wu Xu's robe and said anxiously: "Wu Xu, what should we do, if the Lord knows that we were not hurt by the monster race ..."

"What are you in a hurry for? With Fengran Shangjun's usual behavior, Donghua Shangjun will definitely not invite her. As long as she doesn't appear, who can expose us, not to mention that the Qilian Mountains are thousands of miles long, and there are few fairy friends. If Qing The people in Chigong deny that there is a demon clan, and other superiors will definitely think that it is Fengran Shangjun's ineffective supervision and self-defense."

After listening to Wuxu's explanation anxiously, Wuxu wiped the sweat from his brow, and seeing no one around, he whispered into Wuxu's ear while walking: "Wuxu, I ascended late, and many things I don't know, it would be bad if I went to Donghua Shangjun's mansion and made a joke, why don't you tell me about Fengran Shangjun, I heard that she is a member of the Tianhou clan, how could... Can't be tolerated by the Three Realms?"

The two of them walked all the way to the depths of Zijin Mansion, Wuxu glanced at Wuwang who was following him, and said angrily: "I'm afraid you want to ask more than Feng Ranshangjun's details! Why, why don't you ask?" Do you really want to know about that god in Qingchi Palace?"

"Wuxu, look..." Wuwang chuckled, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened it and handed it to Wuxu: "I put a few drops in the Huajing Pond, we each have half, how about it?"

There was a burst of fragrance, the smell was refreshing, Wuxu's eyes glowed, he leaned over to smell it, flicked the hem of his jersey and glanced at Wuwang and said: "Actually, these things are not really secrets, and only the little ones who have ascended for nearly a thousand years Immortals don't know."

"If we talk about this High God, we have to start with the Calamity of Chaos..."

Wuxu's voice slowly became nothingness, and the look of reminiscing about the past contained an undisguised admiration for that era.

After half an hour, Wu Wang finally knew the cause and effect, and was quite shocked for a while.

"Wuxu, do you mean that Hou Chi Shangshen obtained the position of Shangshen when he was in the shell?"

Wuxu nodded, took the porcelain bottle in Wuwang's hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, squinting his eyes to enjoy it.

"And after that..." Wu Wang hurriedly asked, always feeling a little unfinished.

"Afterwards, the Gujun Shangshen set up a barrier outside the Qingchi Palace to isolate him from the world. I heard that the little god came out of his shell after another [-] years. , so Gu Jun Shangshen made an exception for her and accepted some loose immortals into Qingchi Palace as guards."

Wu Wang rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself: "No wonder people in the fairy world said that the god had a good pregnancy. It turns out that... this is a very noble destiny..." He paused in the middle of speaking. Suddenly, as if suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his voice and said, "If that's the case, don't those His Highnesses and Princess Jing Zhao still have some blood relationship with this High God?"

Wu Wang pointed to the sky, with a sad expression on his face, no wonder Princess Jing Zhao didn't like people to mention that God, it turned out to be the reason.

That little god was born to be the supreme existence in the Three Realms. Princess Jing Zhao's background may not be lower than hers, but her status is as high as the heavens, and the identities of the two are extremely embarrassing, and no one can accept it.

The several highnesses and princesses above the Nine Heavens squeezed into the ranks of Shangjun by their own strength, and they must be worried about Houchi Shangshen's promotion to Shangshen by virtue of his father's shade.

Su Wen Tiandi loved the only princess like a jewel and was extremely arrogant and indulgent. I am afraid that he also felt guilty.

"That's not bad. They are all from the Empress Dowager, so there is a blood relationship. The ancient king, the god, has traveled through the three worlds and has been missing for thousands of years. That little god has never stepped out of Qingchi Palace in the 2 years since he came to the world. , so no one in the Immortal Realm dares to mention her now."

Tabooed by the Heavenly Emperor's family, the gods who want to live a more nourishing life will not be so ignorant.

In this way, this little god is really the most beautiful on the face, and the most miserable on the inside.

"So, Fengran Shangjun was accepted into Qingchi Palace by Gujun Shangshen because of the weak spiritual power of the little god?" Wu Wang thought of Fengran, the Shangjun who was abandoned by the Three Realms, and hurriedly asked Wuxu for proof.

"That's right, Mr. Feng Ranshang comes from the Phoenix family, and she is originally a noble person, but she is a fire phoenix that has never existed before. You also know...Phoenixes are respected in gold, and if they are red, they represent evil. They are dyed with phoenixes." When Jun was born, he was abandoned by his tribe in the Yuanling Swamp. It is said that he was raised by a tree demon in 1000 years. Later, the fairy world and the demon world fought in Yuanling Swamp. His Royal Highness Jing Jing and the third prince of the demon world were killed by mistake in the scuffle. That Dryad..."

Wuxu paused, and slowly said in a particularly admiring tone: "Fengran Shangjun rushed out of the Yuanling Swamp in anger, and fought against the army of immortals and demons with his own strength. That battle was extremely tragic. The Wan army was wiped out, and even the third prince of the Yao clan was killed by her. If my family's lord hadn't just passed by and rescued His Highness Jingyang, who was dying, I am afraid that His Highness would have died in the Yuanling Swamp. It was also in that battle Afterwards, Feng Ran Shangjun shook the Three Realms and was honored as the Supreme Lord, but at the same time, he was not tolerated by the Three Realms."

Since the end of the Three Realms in ancient times, the ascension of immortals and monsters has been divided into ranks by "sovereign status". After arriving, they will be automatically promoted to 'Shangjun' and 'Yaojun'.

"It's no wonder His Majesty and my Shangjun are so close, I didn't expect there to be such a relationship." Wu Wang sighed, hesitated for a while before saying: "Fengran Shangjun is a member of the Fenghuang family after all, and she also killed the demon. The third prince of the family has made meritorious service in the heaven realm, even if it is for the sake of the queen, the heavenly emperor shouldn't make things difficult for her."

"You don't think that's what others think. Fengran Shangjun has the strength of Shangjun after only a long live, and the future is boundless. Besides, it's just a misunderstanding. Of course the Emperor of Heaven wants to recruit, but..."

"Just what? Could it be that Feng Ranshang Jun didn't want to?"

"It's not that she doesn't want to..." Wuxu rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's just that Lord Feng Ran said something in the Yuanling Swamp—if the Emperor of Heaven can execute His Royal Highness Jingyang, One life for another, she is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the Emperor of Heaven."

"What?" Wu Wang suddenly raised his voice, and stared wide-eyed: "This Fengran Shangjun really doesn't know what is good or bad, how can that demon tree be compared with my great majesty in the fairy world?"

The Emperor of Heaven is the god of ancient times and the supreme being in the fairy world, how could he stand such a provocation?This Fengran Shangjun is really confused!

Wuxu also nodded, showing a little bit of disapproval: "Heavenly Emperor was furious when he heard this, and ordered Fengranshangjun to be captured. Fengranshangjun fought against several immortals, and retreated to Qilian Mountain. When his life was dying, he was saved by Gujun Shangshen. Afterwards, Lord Laifengran stayed in Qingchi Palace, and the Emperor of Heaven did not pursue it further."

As for the reason why they didn't pursue it...the two glanced at each other tacitly, the Heavenly Emperor has always been tolerant to the ancient king and God, and that time must be no exception.

"Hey, I didn't expect such a period of history to exist in the Three Realms. Today is an eye-opener." Wu Wang shook his head while talking, with a rather emotional expression on his face.

"Two celestial lords, the lord explained that we will leave for Donghua lord's place tomorrow, and the two celestial lords should get ready." The voice of the little fairy boy came from not far away, and Wuxu and Wuwang shuddered at the same time, forcing each other He winked and walked out of the courtyard.

At the same time, Qingchi Palace.

On the stone rock beside the Huajing Pool, a lazy soft drink sounded slowly.

"Fengran, how many times have I said that I'm too lazy to go out. But I really like the human drama that Chang Que brought into the palace recently. How about it, I won't make things difficult for you. ...I promise you, how about it?"
