A few more days passed.

In the past few days, Lin Ran has been adjusting his physical state, it is not so easy to improve his cultivation to the peak of the Yuanqiao level, although Liu Jiuyou gave him a month, but when he reaches the realm of the Yuanqiao level, it is extremely difficult to improve every realm, otherwise there would not be so many geniuses trapped in a realm and unable to move an inch.

The Spirit Source Divine Water is a Dao-level treasure, and it cannot be taken lightly, otherwise it is easy to waste this treasure.

Early in the morning, sitting on a cloud platform as high as more than ten zhang, Lin Ran breathed into the sky.

The area around this cloud platform is extremely flat, there are no tall buildings, and at a glance there are wide carved beams and painted buildings, and the golden sunlight is sprinkled down, which can't help but calm people's hearts.

Wisps of purple qi spread from the east and absorbed through Lin Ran's mouth and nose, and under his white jade-like skin, there was purple qi surging, containing his soul.

His divine soul power has almost reached the peak of the Shenhai level, and it is unprecedentedly powerful, and ordinary Shenhai-level masters, in terms of divine souls, can't catch up.

Despite this, Lin Ran did not slack off, and continued to practice hard every day.

When you reach the Shenhai level, the next realm is the Divine Elephant Realm, and the first thing to achieve is the Yuan Shen level. What is the primordial god, the soul from the ignorant chaotic state, into the god of vitality, the upper through the green underworld, the lower hole nine secluded, only become the original god of the real person, can be regarded as a person who has attained the true cultivation of the Tao.

The predecessor of the primordial god is the divine soul, and the stronger the power of the divine soul, the stronger the transformed primordial spirit.

Lin Ran knew this very well, so he didn't let go of the cultivation of the divine soul, the "Purple Qi Yun Divine Technique" is the cultivation method of the Ancient One Qi Sect, and it has greatly improved the divine soul and benefited a lot!

Stomp, stomp!

Suddenly, when it was close to noon, the sound of horses' hooves trampling on the long street came, which shook the entire Qinglong Avenue, and soon came to the door of the Linyun Courtyard.

"Childe, there is a will in the palace!" Old Man Wen flew over in a panic, with a look of shock in his eyes, knocked on the door of the room, and hurriedly walked in and said.

"Don't panic, I know. ”

Lin Ran put down the book in his hand, glanced at Wen Lao calmly, nodded, and walked out, behind him, Wen Lao and Yuhuang followed closely.

Ever since he had seen Liujiu You, he knew that the Emperor would inevitably summon him.

After all, when it comes to the ancestral land of the royal family, everything is not a trivial matter, and he is also a disciple of the sect order, so it is reasonable that the emperor will also summon it.

However, what made Lin Ran puzzled was that when he was in Anli City in Zhongzhou City, he was appointed as the envoy of Zhongzhou for no reason, according to what King Hanhai said, he was also appointed by the emperor himself, and he was very important, at that time, he was not a disciple of Zongling, how could the emperor pay attention to himself?

"I've seen Lin according to the envoy, summoned by the emperor, please!"

The one who came to deliver the decree was a fair-faced father-in-law, wearing a red robe and a sharp voice, and after seeing Lin Ran, he saluted slightly and said to him with a smile.

This time it was just a verbal message, and there was no holy decree, around this father-in-law, there were several forbidden troops following, looking like red armor, it should be the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city.

Lin Ran nodded to the father-in-law, turned around and said a few words to Wen Lao and Ghost Mist, then got into the carriage and walked in the direction of the imperial city.

The Imperial City is the center of the Shendu Center.

This is the residence of the emperor, also known as the Forbidden City, and no one is allowed to enter the imperial city without the will of the emperor.

At this time, the imperial city, the early dynasty had just dispersed, and there were a large number of people wearing vermilion robes who walked out of it, each of them was an important minister of the Liufeng court, among which the Dazai of the Ximen valve was headed by the Ximen Jue, and there were several waves of people, namely the Dongfang valve, the royal family, etc., which were clearly distinguished.

These people have unfathomable aura, and the door valves and the heads of the family are all real-level powerhouses.

"Grandpa Gui!"

A voice stopped the white-faced eunuch at the front, causing Grandpa Gui's face to change slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face, looked at the man, and arched his hand: "Dazai-sama!"

Today, Dazai Ximen Jue came over with a group of court officials, looked at Gonggong Gui, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Gonggong Gui for a long time, I don't know what kind of errand this is?"

His eyes glanced at the carriage behind Gonggong Gui, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the surrounding Imperial Forest Army.

Gonggong Gui smiled all over his face and said, "The emperor summoned Lin Zhicha to make an envoy, and he couldn't delay, and I asked Lord Dazai to forgive me." ”

"The matter of the emperor is not trivial, please!" Ximen Jue smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and said.

Gonggong Gui thanked him and walked into the imperial city.

"My lord, presumably it is Lin Ran, the envoy who has just entered the Divine Capital, I heard that this person is the first on the hidden dragon list, and his talent is extremely demonic, and he was accepted as a disciple by the sect order, but I didn't expect the emperor to summon him. Behind Ximen Jue, an official took two steps forward and whispered.

Ximen Jue nodded, not knowing what he was thinking, glanced into the imperial city, and turned to leave.

......

"Gonggong Gui, was that Dazai of the dynasty just now?"

Walking in the imperial palace, Lin Ran followed behind Gonggong Gui and asked.

The guards in the imperial palace are extremely strict, and there are patrols by the Imperial Forest Army, hiding this powerful aura, like a divine might, which makes people's hearts tremble. Not far away, there are armored soldiers walking by, with the soldiers in their hands and the iron and blood in their hands, and they are battlefield generals who have been living and dying for a long time.

The entire imperial palace is like a labyrinth, with a nine-song corridor, if you don't follow Gonggong Gui, Lin Ran walks around alone, and he will definitely get lost in it and can't find his way out.

"Yes, Dazai-sama is the head of the Ximen family, and his name is Ximen Jue. Grandpa Gui explained with a smile.

Lin Ran nodded slightly, it hasn't been long since the emperor was in the court, but it's only ten years, and it is said that the last emperor entrusted the affairs of the court to the three dukes, Dazai, Taifu, and Taibao.

Among them, Dazai is the head of the Ximen valve, Taifu is the head of the Dongfang valve, and Taibao is the head of the Nangong valve.

As for the last gate valve, the North Vietnamese valve, it is relatively strong in the army, and many military marquis have a deep relationship with the North Vietnamese valve, but the emperors of the past dynasties have trusted the North Vietnamese valve very much, so there is no turmoil.

Among the three dukes, Dazai has the greatest power, it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, many court officials are single-handedly pulled up by him, plus the strong power of the Ximen valve, it can be called the biggest party in this court, even if it is the emperor, he has to be afraid of one or two, and many people have to stammer.

The place where the emperor summoned Lin Ran was not in the Guanghua Hall where the court was discussing major affairs, but in a side hall called the Purple Qi Palace.

"This should be the palace where the emperor is temporarily resting. ”

Gonggong Gui retreated, leaving only Lin Ran alone, he looked around, this is worthy of the imperial palace, all kinds of tables and chairs made of luxurious and precious wood, the best yuan stones are inlaid on the top of the palace, there are ancient lamps hanging on the wall, and the lights are not extinguished.

Lin Ran guessed in his heart, a little unpredictable about the emperor's thoughts.

It stands to reason that he is also a fifth-grade official, even if he is summoned, he should be in the Guanghua Palace, how could he come to this Purple Qi Palace, this is not very formal.

After about half an hour, the emperor still hasn't arrived.

Lin Ran's face did not change in the slightest, but there were secret thoughts in his heart.

"Huh?"

Just as he was about to go out to ask Grandpa Gui, suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes looked at a curtain on the side, and at this moment, he noticed a gaze that seemed to be looking at him.

"Your spiritual sense is good, and you actually sensed my gaze. A faint voice, but thunderous throughout the palace, emerged from behind the curtain.

In this voice, there is a sense of imperial power, and when you listen to it, it is the voice of the superior, but you can feel that it is very gentle, and there is no thunderous domineering.

Lin Ran looked over, and saw that inside the curtain, a figure could be vaguely seen sitting there, endless dragon qi stretching, and in his ears, there seemed to be a roar of a real dragon, which made people's scalp tingle.

"Minister, Zhongzhou according to the envoy, Lin Ran, meet the emperor!"

When the emperor came, Lin Ran didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said loudly.
