Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

Patriarch Yu left Minister Wu's residence angrily and walked straight towards the inner city where Emperor Jin was.

Along the way, the resentment in his heart grew stronger, and the humiliating scene of himself being beheaded by Zhou Xun's sword kept appearing in his mind.

"I am a first-class priest of the Bai Fu Division. How dare he!"

The more Sect Leader Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers", which was frightening.

Soon, Sect Leader Yu arrived at the entrance to the inner city, Jin'an Gate.

The imperial city is divided into two parts: the inner and outer cities.

The outer city is basically the office location of various government offices.

The inner city is where the Emperor of Jin meets with foreign ministers, and is also where the direct descendants of the royal family live.

It is said that the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty lived there.

Jin'an Gate is extremely tall, several dozen feet in size. There are two rows of guards standing at the entrance, ten on each side!

They were wearing standard spiritual armor, holding standard long spears, and they were all at the Jindan stage.

"Stop, this is a restricted area of ​​the Imperial City. Walking around is strictly prohibited!"

As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a middle-aged man dressed as a military general, with the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Yu You, the first-class worshiper of Baifu, has something to offer to the Emperor of Jin!" As he said this, Sect Leader Yu took out his own worship token and handed it over.

The middle-aged man took it and looked at it, his expression eased a lot.

According to regulations, first-class worshippers are indeed qualified to meet the Emperor of Jin, but whether they can finally meet him depends on the Emperor of Jin's intentions.

"Wait a moment, Master Yu. I will let you know!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a sound transmission talisman and whispered a few words.

Then he threw it towards the door, and the talisman turned into a beam of fire and flew away.

"I will wait here for a moment. There will be a reply soon!" said the middle-aged man politely.

Yu You nodded and then started chatting with the middle-aged man.

At the same time, in the Jinluan Palace, the Emperor of Jin was sitting on the throne. Suddenly, a guard walked in with a sound transmission talisman in his hand.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Yu You, the first-class attendant of the Bai Fu Division, requests to see you!" As he said this, he handed over the sound transmission talisman.

"Yuyou?"

"Isn't he the leader of the Frost Sect? I remember their mountain gate is in Jiangling Prefecture. Zhou Xun seems to be the leader of Jiangling Prefecture."

"Is his coming here today related to Zhou Xun?"

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and waved it backwards, and a gray shadow flew out.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Is there any recent information about Jiangling Prefecture?" Emperor Jin spoke slowly, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty, Master Bai Gu is suspected to have died recently, and Lord Zhou took this opportunity to expel the forces of Bai Gu Shan in Jiangling Prefecture."

"Then he summoned all the sects in the prefecture to discuss the tribute."

"It seems that Yu Gongfeng had a conflict with Palace Master Zhou. Palace Master Zhou attacked and destroyed Yu Gongfeng's body."

"I think Yu Gongfeng came here for this matter!"

Gray Shadow replied expressionlessly.

"So that's how it is!" Emperor Jin nodded, and then the gray shadow flashed into the back of the hall and disappeared.

"Destroying the physical body. Interesting!" Emperor Jin smiled and couldn't help but approve of Zhou Xun's approach.

Zhou Xun's current strength was naturally clear to him. He was able to kill several fourth-rank upper-grade ghost kings. His true combat power was probably only lower than that of the ten great cultivators.

If such a person really wanted to kill him, and Yu You was just an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, he would naturally not be able to escape.

But now he not only left smoothly, but also had the opportunity to come to Jinyang Fairy City to appeal. It was obvious that Zhou Xun was careful in his actions.

This was done for the sake of the Jin Dynasty's face, so as not to make things difficult for the Emperor of Jin.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards Zhou Xun.

As for Yu You, he had made peace with Baigushan before and swallowed up the interests of the Jin Dynasty. Now that Zhou Xun is in charge, he naturally cannot support him.

Then he called a waiter.

"Go to Jin'an Gate and tell the worshiper that I already know about his affairs. Lord Zhou is a pillar of our Jin Dynasty and has made great contributions."

"Moreover, it is the palace lord's duty to recruit personnel and collect offerings. No one may object, otherwise it will be a violation of the laws of Dajin!"

Upon hearing this, the waiter bowed and slowly retreated.

At Jin'an Gate, Yu You was anxiously waiting for news, looking inside the gate from time to time.

The middle-aged general shook his head secretly when he saw him like this, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only accompany him quietly.

Soon, a waiter walked out of the door at a leisurely pace.

Seeing this, Sect Master Yu was delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed slightly, then said:

"This eunuch, has His Majesty summoned you?"

The waiter saw this, his expression did not change at all, but his tone was full of unquestionable majesty: "Yu Gongfeng, His Majesty has spoken, does His Majesty know about your matter?"

"Palace Master Zhou is a pillar of our Great Jin, and has made great contributions. It is your duty to recruit personnel and collect tributes. No one may object, otherwise it will be a violation of the laws of the Great Jin."

When Yu You heard this, his face turned pale instantly, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and his anger and expectations were instantly extinguished.

He never expected that Emperor Jin would be so partial to Zhou Xun.

"This... why is Your Majesty like this? Zhou Xun he..." Yu You couldn't help but wanted to explain, but he was interrupted by the waiter before he could finish his words.

"Yu Gongfeng, His Majesty's order has been conveyed, so don't say anything more." The waiter frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Hatred surged in Yu You's heart, but facing the order of Emperor Jin, he did not dare to act rashly.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, bowed towards the direction of the palace and said, "Yu You obeys the order, thank you Your Majesty for your instructions."

After the waiter turned and left, Yu You took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that his plan to use the power of Emperor Jin to overthrow Zhou Xun had completely failed.

"Hmph, Zhou Xun, don't be so proud too soon!"

"How can I easily forgive the vengeance of destroying my physical body!"

Yu You cursed under his breath, with a hint of resentment in his eyes. He had already made up his mind. Although he could not directly rely on the power of Emperor Jin, he still had other means.

Yu You turned around and left Jin'an Gate.

The middle-aged general looked at his back and sighed secretly, feeling that Yu You was really overestimating his own abilities and daring to go against a person like Zhou Xun.

That is the seed of Divine Transformation. Even if the probability of a breakthrough is not high, he will definitely be one of the top ten cultivators in the future!

Frost Sect, Council Hall,

After Yu You returned to Hanxue Mountain, he immediately summoned all the elders to discuss countermeasures.

"My fellow elders, the Emperor of Jin is clearly favoring Zhou Xun now. I'm afraid we won't stand a chance of winning if we confront him head-on."

Yu You's face was gloomy and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

"I wonder what the Sect Master is planning?" an old man with white hair and beard and a thin face asked.

This person is the contemporary grand elder of the Frost Sect and also the sect leader of the previous generation. He is Yu You’s uncle and has the cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"Zhou Xun destroyed my body. If I don't take revenge, I will not be a human being! But we can't act blindly anymore. We need to think long-term."

"My idea is to pretend to surrender first, but secretly contact some forces that are dissatisfied with Zhou Xun, such as the White Bone Mountain, and wait for him to show a flaw, then strike back!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yu You's eyes.

One day, we will make Zhou Xun pay for what he did!"

Hearing this, the old man did not show a happy expression, but frowned, and then looked at a middle-aged man below,

The man received the old man's signal and stood up immediately.

"Brother, this move will not easily bring our Frost Sect into danger. If it fails, there is a risk that the sect will be destroyed. I really cannot agree with it!"

This man's name is Liu Zhi. He is the fifth elder of the Frost Sect and has reached the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Liu Zhi, are you questioning me?" Yu You was furious when he heard this, and glared at the middle-aged man like an angry lion.

A powerful pressure came towards the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man glanced at the great elder. Seeing him nod slightly, he felt relieved and said:

"Yu You, as the leader of the Frost Sect, you don't think about the development of the sect. Instead, you want to drag the entire sect into it for personal revenge. What is your intention?"

Yu You was completely enraged by Liu Zhi's words.

, His spiritual energy surged wildly around him, and the powerful pressure of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul caused the temperature in the meeting hall to drop sharply, and the tables and chairs in the hall were shaking slightly under this force.

"Liu Zhi, you are so brave! How dare you speak to me like that? Do you think I dare not touch you?" Yu You roared angrily, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Although Liu Zhi was somewhat breathless due to Yu You's pressure, he still straightened his spine and did not flinch:

"Yu You, I, Liu Zhi, am devoted to the sect. Even if I risk my life today, I will not let you drag the Frost Sect into an irretrievable situation!"

"The grudge between you and Zhou Xun is your personal matter. How can you let the entire sect be buried with you?"

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the Great Elder hurriedly stood up and pressed his hands into the air. A gentle yet powerful force offset Yu You's pressure.

"Stop it! This is disgraceful!"

The Great Elder shouted sternly, his voice echoing in the hall with unquestionable majesty.

Yu You and Liu Zhi then stopped their confrontation and took a step back, but the hostility in their eyes had not dissipated.

The Great Elder looked at Yu You, his expression softened a little:

"Master, although Liu Zhi's words were extreme, there is some truth in what he said. Our Frost Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years and must not be destroyed because of one person's selfishness."

"Even if this person is me, it won't work!"

At this time, the third elder who had been silent all this time also spoke up: "What the first elder said is absolutely right. The Frost Sect has been established for thousands of years and will never allow anyone to disregard the interests of the sect for personal reasons!"

The other elders nodded in agreement.

Yu You was furious when he heard this, but the situation was like this. None of the elders supported him, so he couldn't object!

"Okay, since the elders all say so, I will let this matter go for now." Yu You said gritting his teeth.

At this moment, the fifth elder Liu Zhi stood up again and slowly said:

"During the time when Yu You was the sect leader, he ignored the interests of the sect for his own personal vengeance and is no longer suitable to be the sect leader."

"As the fifth elder, I impeach the sect leader Yu You and apply to initiate a motion to remove him!"

When Yu You heard this, his face turned pale and blue. He never expected that Liu Zhi would propose impeachment at this time.

He turned around abruptly, his eyes wide open, staring at Liu Zhi intently, as if he wanted to devour him alive with his eyes, "Liu Zhi, you..."

Yu You's voice became hoarse due to anger, and the spiritual energy around him surged uncontrollably again, and the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall became increasingly depressing.

"I second the motion to initiate the removal of the sect leader!" The third elder also spoke up.

Yu You couldn't believe it, thinking he had heard it wrong, and then turned his gaze to the Great Elder:

"Grand Elder."

The Great Elder's expression remained unchanged, and he ignored it completely, but spoke slowly:

"According to the sect's rules, elders are qualified to impeach the sect leader. If two elders impeach the sect leader at the same time, a motion to remove the sect leader will be initiated automatically."

"Everyone, those who oppose the removal of the Sect Master, please raise your hands!"

As soon as the words fell, no one reached out.

Yu You felt dizzy, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He could never have imagined that those elders who had once been so friendly to him would now stand so resolutely against him.

His eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness, and the anger in his heart seemed to burn him to ashes.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Yu You said "OK" three times in a row, his voice full of sadness and anger.

"You all want to force me. I have given so much to the Frost Sect, but you treat me like this!" He laughed loudly towards the sky, but his laughter was filled with endless bitterness.

"Okay, then I, Yu You, will quit the Frost Sect. Whoever wants to be the Sect Master can do so!"

After saying that, Yu You suddenly swung his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the hall, his steps staggering but determined.

Before he reached the door, he saw Liu Zhi flash in front of him.

"Liu Zhi, what do you mean?"

Yu You was furious when he saw this, and swallowed his words halfway through his question. He saw that his elder had arrived at the entrance of the hall without him noticing.

Block his way.

At the same time, the second elder, the third elder, and the fourth elder also gathered around.

Yu You was startled, looked at everyone warily, and shouted angrily: "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I will leave? How far do you want to push me before you give up?"

The Great Elder had a cold expression and spoke slowly: "Yu You, it's not that we want to embarrass you."

"You have served as the sect master for many years and know many of the sect's secrets and inheritances. Now your heart is filled with hatred. If you leave like this, you might do something that is detrimental to the sect."

"Besides that, you have already offended Palace Master Zhou. If you want to gain his forgiveness, you have no choice but to come to his house in person and apologize!"

"You and all of you!" Yu You's eyes were filled with sadness. He really couldn't understand why, after just a few days, he was suddenly deserted by his friends and family and became a lonely man.

At the same time, Jiangling Prefecture's government office,

At this time, Zhou Xun was sitting upright in the training room, practicing the "Purple Thunder Art", guiding the spiritual energy to circulate throughout the body, and finally transforming it into spiritual power and merging it into the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

At this moment, the ban suddenly flickered.

"Master, the Great Elder of the Frost Sect wants to see you!"

"Han Shuang Zong, bring him in!" Zhou Xun ordered.

At the same time, he put away his skills, stood up and walked out of the practice room and came to the reception room.

As soon as I came in, I saw a middle-aged man with messy hair, carrying a bramble on his back, kneeling in the middle of the hall.

Judging from his face, it was the Frost Sect's leader that day, Yu You!
