Chapter 322: Long Yang Xianzun
Western Continent, Lingxu Island, Qingmu Province.

In the eastern corner, Fengling Town, Jin Family Manor.

At this time, the Jin family manor had long since become the office of the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet. However, Yan Song, Xu Jie and others had already returned to the Ming Dynasty, leaving only Chen Hong and Huang Jin.

Then there are some loyal young eunuchs trained by Shi San.

However, each of the young eunuchs who were able to stay in the Western Continent had good cultivation. A year ago, Jiajing not only improved the strength of the Ming soldiers, but also used some eunuchs.

Now, each of the young eunuchs who followed Chen Hong and Huang Jin to stay in the Western Continent has reached the foundation-building stage.

There were about 30,000 eunuchs in number. Of course, not all eunuchs stayed in the Western Continent. Except for some eunuchs who had to stay in the imperial palace in the capital, the rest all went to the Ming Domain.

At this time, deep inside the manor.

A ban has been completely implemented.

Chen Hong and Huang Jin sat face to face, drinking tea in silence.

“Huang Jin, how long have you not contacted Master Qingfeng?” Chen Hong picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a sip, then looked up at the honest Huang Jin in front of him and asked.

“Ever since the two-front war began, we haven’t been in touch since we returned to this world of immortal cultivation, and there’s no one in Xuanpu Palace.” When Huang Jin mentioned Qingfeng, a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

“I don’t know if it’s possible for the Imperial Master to go to the Taoist-ruled world of immortal cultivation alone. She has a lazy and simple personality. What if she meets a bad guy and gets cheated…”

Listening to Huang Jin’s chattering, as if he was concerned about his own daughter, Chen Hong shook his head with a little disdain, took a sip of spiritual tea, and then said:
“Simple? You can say she’s lazy, but the word ‘simple’ probably doesn’t apply to her, right?”

“Don’t be rude to the National Master!” Huang Jin’s face suddenly darkened when he heard Chen Hong’s words, and he couldn’t help but scold in a low voice.

“…Ha!” Facing Huang Jin’s scolding, Chen Hong immediately sneered.

Although he has followed the national master Chan Shuang over the years and has learned some Buddhist principles and has matured a lot, and his temper is not as vicious as before, he is not someone that anyone can control.

Especially people like Huang Jin, who he has never taken seriously, and those who he thinks highly of, he has never taken seriously.

In Chen Hong’s heart, his target has always been Lu Fang, the eunuch in charge of the seal who always accompanies his master.

“Simple? Your Imperial Master may seem simple, but she is actually a very thoughtful person!” Chen Hong said, completely ignoring the anger in Huang Jin’s eyes, and continued, “She was originally an abandoned child given to Lord Yan by Longhu Mountain to enter the palace to seduce the master.”

“It’s just that my lord is wise and made good use of her. She relied on her good looks and pretended to be stupid, which is why she has the status she has today.”

“She has always been lazy and slack in her cultivation. She has relied on the emperor’s favor and has never taken my imperial teacher seriously.”

“Now she is only in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, while my Imperial Master has already reached the Void Refinement Realm!”

“If she goes to the immortal cultivation world ruled by the Taoist sect, she will still have the same lazy attitude as before, hehe!”

Having said this, Chen Hong laughed.

“With the master here, she won’t be in any danger, but don’t forget that she’s going there to preach!”

“If she disappoints her master once again, she will probably fall out of favor soon. Will she still have such a status then?”

“So, I advise you to cut off your relationship with him as soon as possible. With your godfather around, and relying on the friendship between you and the master when you were in the palace, I think you won’t be burdened by him!”

“Enough!” Huang Jin, who couldn’t bear it any longer, let out a low growl, stood up and looked down at Chen Hong who was not afraid at all.

There was a blaze of anger in his round eyes.

But just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly thought of something, sneered, and retorted: “My national teacher is indeed favored by the master, so what?”

“Ask everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, who doesn’t want to receive the master’s favor?”

“As for your national teacher? Ha!” Huang Jin sneered and said, “What’s the point of practicing so hard?”

“You act compassionate and pretentious all day long. You seem to be extremely hypocritical. Do you think your master can’t see through it?”

“If she didn’t want to climb onto the master’s bed, why did her originally bald head become full of hair now?”

“Don’t tell me that her elegant and calm yet feminine demeanor wasn’t meant to seduce the master? And don’t tell me that you didn’t do anything about it!”

“Huang Jin!” Chen Hong’s face gradually turned cold when Huang Jin said this.

Chen Hong’s sinister expression might scare others, but it couldn’t scare Huang Jin.

Huang Jin continued to sneer and said, “Yes, you are right. Your national teacher has indeed worked hard, but so what?”

“With the master’s magical powers, how could he not see her efforts? As a result, although her status has been equal to that of our national master over the years, you know best what the master thinks of her!”

“In the final analysis, your Imperial Master is just thinking about it in her heart, but she thinks highly of herself and refuses to get close to the Master. Haha, what’s the matter? Does she want the Master to take the initiative to find her?”

“She’s not afraid that those ladies in the harem will tear her apart alive!”

“Buddhists are always hypocritical, and paired with a vicious villain like you, the two of you are really a perfect match!”

Chen Hong did not expect that Huang Jin, who was usually tongue-tied, could come up with such a sarcastic retort.

For a moment, his already gloomy face became even gloomier as if water could drip out of it.

In fact, lies never hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!

Chen Hong understood Huang Jin’s words. Except for the slander that the National Master Chan Shuang “wanted to seduce his master and considered himself noble”, everything else was true.

It was even his idea to transform Chan Shuang from a bald nun into a sacred and noble female Bodhisattva.

It was also he who told Chan Shuang that the master did not like her image. The master was also a man and liked beautiful women.

Imperial Master Chanshuang is kind-hearted. She realizes that she and the entire Buddhist community have received favors from the emperor as chess pieces, so she is willing to sacrifice herself and dress up to please the emperor.

But Master Chanshuang has a pure heart, yet he is dirty.

His purpose was simple, which was to allow National Master Chanshuang to obtain the same status in his master’s heart as National Master Qingfeng.

In this way, he will follow Master Chanshuang, and he, his Western Factory, and his future Chen family will also benefit.

It was precisely because of the truth that Huang Jin’s insightful words hurt him deeply.

In fact, the conflict between him and Huang Jin over the years had already reached an irreconcilable point, as hostile as fire and water. The reason was nothing more than the old saying, just for profit.

One of them was in charge of the East Factory and the other was in charge of the West Factory.

After the Lingshi trade, the East and West Factories had lost their original functions and gradually faded out of the court stage.

However, as the Ming Dynasty now entered the outer universe and began to expand continuously, the era of interstellar war began.

The Jinyiwei, Xianwuwei and other factory guards were deployed again.

Of course, it is not just that. If they were just doing things for the court and being loyal to their master, there would not be much resentment between the two of them. At most, they would just develop their own power within the eunuch group. They were both doing it for their master!
At most, it is just to curry favor with the master.

But nowadays, eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty can have offspring. This is a reward from their masters to them, the domestic slaves.

With the reward from the master, eunuchs can exchange their political achievements for the right to leave the palace. All eunuchs who leave the palace can receive a “life and limbs dispersion” which allows them to live a normal life.

(Note: See Chapter 305 for details.)
In this way, although they lose their rights as eunuchs after leaving the palace, they can return to their families and form a fairy clan.

If some eunuchs are doing well, relying on their official connections inside and outside the palace, and the relationship between their godfathers and ancestors, they will definitely not have a bad life after establishing a fairy clan.

Well, it can even be registered under the name of our ancestors.

This is called incense and fire. Even if there is not much convenience, it will not lead to being bullied and having no place to seek justice. Of course, this is for those eunuchs who are not very important. For eunuchs like them, the eunuchs of the Silijian, who serve the masters, it is different.

His final destination is the same as that of his godfather Lu Fang. He is allowed to use his own essence and blood, assisted by magic circles, and then find a mortal woman to give birth to his offspring.

The only disadvantage is that you cannot experience the mystery and nourishment of a woman.

However, for eunuchs like them who are at the pinnacle of power, they are rarely tempted by women. In their hearts, power is the most wonderful thing and women are dispensable.

For people like them, if they have offspring, their life can be said to be perfect!
It is precisely because they are also allowed to have their own offspring, which means that they can also have their own immortal clan.

Once there are clan members, the need for resources becomes an instinct and necessity. In this way, the division of power among the eunuchs becomes more and more clear.

For example, the Star Spirit Territory that they had previously conquered, such a huge technological civilization, all forces in the court were scrambling to lay out their plans, and the people from their East and West Factories naturally had no time to rest.

When it comes to the competition for resources, they become like water and fire.

Now everyone knows that from the cabinet on down, everyone in the court is the head of his own faction.

The same goes for eunuchs.

Below Lu Fang were eunuchs such as Huang Jin, Yang Jinshui, Feng Bao, Chen Ju, and Wei Zhongxian.

What’s different is that Huang Jin, Yang Jinshui and Feng Bao can be seen as another branch besides Lu Fang.

Lu Fang’s superior is the Emperor, Yang Jinshui’s superior is Prince Jing’s Palace, and Feng Bao’s superior is Prince Yu’s Palace.

Strictly speaking, Huang Jin’s superior, apart from the emperor, is the national preceptor Qingfeng Xuanling Shouzhen Huiwu Zhenren.

Above Chen Hong and the eunuchs of his lineage, the last one is the national master, Master Chanshuang Prajna Jinghui Mingxin.

In fact, if we dig deeper, we can also see it as a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

After that, there were also overseas provincial governments, families, and so on.

In short, as the size of the Ming Dynasty becomes larger and larger, the struggles in the court and any disturbances can no longer be simple grudges and conflicts between individuals.

It’s a fight between an entire faction!
This shows how deep the resentment between the two sides is!

“Humph!” Chen Hong snorted coldly and said, “I underestimated you, but no matter how good your words are, they can’t change the fact that your Imperial Master’s cultivation has long been surpassed by Imperial Master Chan Shuang!”

After saying that, Chen Hong stopped arguing with Huang Jin. He waved his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving Huang Jin, who seemed to be victorious, standing there alone with a gloomy look on his face.

Just like Chen Hong, no matter how good his mouth is, he cannot change the facts.

Huang Jin has not forgotten that his own national teacher’s natal item has not been found yet. In addition, now that the master has allowed them to enter the Qiankun Realm for cultivation, one day in the outside world is equivalent to one year in the interior.

The next time National Master Chan Shuang enters the Qiankun Realm to practice, if our own National Master still cannot find his natal object by then, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up.

On the road to becoming an immortal, one step slow leads to every step slow!

However, Huang Jin and Chen Hong, who were busy arguing, did not know that at this moment a ray of divine consciousness had already covered the entire Jin family mansion, and their conversation was also captured by this ray of divine consciousness.

“Another world?!” An old and surprised voice suddenly sounded in the void.

“With all the knowledge I have gained in my life, I never imagined that outside of this vast world of immortal cultivation, there is actually another completely independent world…”

“Perhaps in that other world, I can find a way to survive the fourth heavenly tribulation, or even a way to be reborn…” As the voice fell, in the forbidden area deep in the Jin family manor, the body of a young eunuch suddenly shook, and the next moment, a gray and white color quickly flashed in his eyes, which were originally black and white.

Afterwards, the little eunuch’s eyes returned to calm again!

“Xiao Zhuzi, don’t just stand there. This batch of ‘Fire Source Concentrate’ will be sent to the ‘Bright Domain’ this time, but don’t forget to leave a part of it and send it to our West Factory!” A middle-aged eunuch came to the young eunuch and whispered.

As he spoke, a bulging storage bag was delivered to the little eunuch’s hands.

“Yes, Eunuch Huang, don’t worry, I understand.”

The young eunuch spoke in a hurry, lowered his head and smiled, took the storage bag that looked like a large bag of luggage and put it on his back, then immediately turned around and headed towards the team in front who were also carrying storage bags.

During the process, there was no sign of anything unusual, and even he himself was not aware of the abnormality that had just happened to him.

And right in front of them, an invisible door quietly created ripples.

“You guys, hurry up and follow,” said the middle-aged eunuch called Eunuch Huang. He immediately turned around and shouted to the eunuchs riding huge spiritual beasts and war horses who were catching up with him.

The entire Jin family manor was filled with a bustling scene.

From time to time, shuttles from afar would land in the manor.

Truckload after truckload of various materials for cultivating immortals were sorted and transported to the deepest part of the manor and shipped to the Ming Dynasty.

Daming, somewhere in the imperial palace, near the northeast corner.

This place has been transformed into an open square, and in the northeast corner, under the corner tower, there is a single door.

Designed to facilitate the transportation of materials to various locations.

In fact, from the world of immortal cultivation to the Ming Dynasty, Jiajing opened several passages, which led to the cabinet, the Imperial Household Department, and the residences of important officials such as Hai Rui and Tang Shunzhi.

“Buzz!” Under the corner tower, ripples appeared in the space and a group of eunuchs appeared. Immediately, the people who were waiting began to take over the supplies.

Storage bags were opened one by one, and large amounts of supplies were poured out. Then, special personnel sorted, packed, and sent them onto shuttles.

These shuttles will go straight out of the domain, crossing the teleportation array on the ancient star Mars and entering the bright domain.

The passages leading to the residences of the cabinet members transport supplies to various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

“Hurry up, don’t just stand there, help pack the boxes…” Someone patted the little eunuch called Little Bamboo, and then began to urge the next one.

The entire Corner Tower Square is very lively.

Here, you can see people from the Jinyiwei, Xianwuwei, East Factory and West Factory. Everyone is doing the work of a laborer, but no one complains.

Everyone was eager to do it.

Xiao Zhuzi handed the storage bag to a eunuch from the Western Factory and was about to help unload the goods, but the next moment, his body froze.

The originally distinct black and white eyes turned grayish white, and faintly, there seemed to be traces of cold air emanating from them.

A special force completely different from spiritual power dissipated from his pupils and then disappeared in a flash.

“The immortal energy in this world is scattered, but the Heavenly Dao has no motive. Doesn’t this mean that the Heavenly Dao does not reject scattered immortals!?” In the void, the old voice was filled with shock, and then ecstasy.

“The heaven will not destroy me, the Immortal Venerable Long Yang. I didn’t expect that just when I thought I was going to perish in the fourth calamity of scattered immortals and was disheartened and wanted to return to my childhood hometown to live in seclusion, I actually got an unexpected surprise: a place where the heaven does not reject scattered immortals!”

“Not only that, the spiritual energy in this world is also unusually abundant, and they are just a group of ant monks…”

“Ha, ha, ha, ha!” Gradually, the unbridled laughter began to resonate in the void. Then, the laughter penetrated the void and began to resound throughout the entire Ming world.

“Hahaha, God will not destroy me, the Immortal Lord Long Yang!”

The unbridled laughter resounded throughout the world, immediately attracting the attention of the entire Ming Dynasty!
Yan Song and others immediately raised their heads and looked into the void, their spiritual sense sweeping wildly, trying to find the mad person.

In Yuxi Palace, Jiajing, who was holding his breath and practicing calligraphy under the service of Lu Fang, suddenly stopped moving.

“…”
