Twelve years ago.

Dongchen Empire, the imperial capital Chenxing.

"Master, when will the distinguished guests arrive?" Emperor Dongchen sat on the throne, with an elegant smile on his face, and asked the elders on the side.

This elder is none other than the genius of the Dongchen Empire, Master Nie Jun, whose cultivation was hovering in the realm of gathering spirits before the age of eighty, and after the age of eighty, he advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the peak realm of spirit refining in one fell swoop, and has a great momentum of further progress.

If he can break through to the Pseudo-Saint Realm, it will be a rare and important thing for a small country like the Dongchen Empire! Master Nie Jun is now the living treasure of the whole empire, although he has the name of the dean of the Emperor Spirit Academy, but in fact, he doesn't ask about anything, and he meditates and cultivates in the Academy's Scripture Pavilion all day long.

Today, he made a rare appearance in the palace.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry, Brother Jia should still be on his way to come now, we only agreed to meet today, and did not set a specific time. Master Nie Jun said slowly, with a leisurely expression, "If the emperor can keep Brother Jia, even if there are more offerings, it will be worth it!"

"Hehe, why does the master need to remind," the emperor nodded and smiled, "If it weren't for the help of this Lord Jialing, there would be a great catastrophe in my empire!

"But ......" Speaking of this, the emperor changed the topic and asked in a deep voice, "Is this monk's strength really not below the master?"

"That's true, although we are both peak powerhouses in spirit refining, I am not his opponent in terms of actual combat. Master Nie Jun said disappreciatively, "This Jialing Daoist is a rare soul law cultivator. This monk is proficient in actual combat, and his soul talent cannot be guarded against, and we monks are the last willing to be enemies with people like them! Besides, ......"

Speaking of this, Master Nie Jun hesitated slightly.

"Besides, what?"

"I've heard rumors that Fellow Daoist Jialing has had disputes with people in other empires. The opponent's strength is far superior to him, but at the Zuihou moment, Jialing Daoyou relied on his soul talent to release the secret method and directly seize the opponent's soul, killing with one blow!"

"Soul snatcher?" Emperor Dongchen's face became slightly solemn, "This kind of trick is too shocking!"

The details are unknown. There is no wind in the air. To have this rumor also proves that the strength of Jialing Daoyou should not be underestimated. ”

"Alas, my Dongchen Imperial Temple is too small, I'm afraid I can't afford this great power!" Emperor Dongchen shook his head. A sigh was given. The word thirsty for talent. It would be best to describe his current state of mind.

"Hehe, the emperor doesn't need to be presumptuous, in my opinion. Nine times out of ten, this Jialing Taoist friend is still willing to stay. ”

"Oh, how so?"

"My meeting with him was just a chance encounter, but he was willing to help my empire do such a big thing, isn't it just because he has the heart to become famous?" Master Nie Jun smiled meaningfully, "That day, I went to the wild mountain to hunt spirit beasts to refine medicine, and accidentally bumped into a blood ant beast in the spirit refining realm, this beast is full of treasures, but it is cunning by nature, and I have not been able to catch it with all my efforts. At this time, I happened to meet Brother Jia, who also went into the mountains to hunt spirit beasts, and joined forces to kill the blood ant beasts, so that they could be considered acquainted. ”

"When we meet in this way, if he doesn't have the heart to come and run, will he help get rid of the thief because I ask for a word?"

"Makes sense...... the emperor held his chin thoughtfully, "After the thief defected, he made an offering to the country of Linyu." Due to the relationship between the two countries, it is inconvenient for the master to make a move, and it is naturally better for Zuihou to be shot by this great power!"

"That traitor has too many secrets of the Dongchen Empire in his hands, and the longer he lives, the more troubles he will have," Master Nie Jun muttered, "Lin Yuguo and we have a non-aggression oath treaty, if it weren't for the appearance of Jialing Daoyou, we would really have to let that thief continue to stumble." ”

Saying this, the master's expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look outside the hall.

"Hehe, the two of you have been waiting for a long time, and you have encountered some delays on the next road!" A hearty laugh sounded, and a middle-aged man with a calm expression and a burly figure, about forty years old, stepped into the hall with laughter.

"Welcome to Your Excellency Jialing, the humble house is shining!" Emperor Dongchen immediately stood up and said.

"This is His Royal Highness the Emperor Dongchen, right? The master has already mentioned that His Highness is a generation of Ming monarchs, and the entire empire is becoming more and more prosperous under the leadership of His Highness. Jia Ling smiled lightly with his back hand, "It is really a blessing of the empire to have Ming Jun presiding over the overall situation!"

"Mingjun doesn't dare to be it, but it is the legacy of the first king, and the people rely on it, so they don't dare to slack off!"

Seeing that this powerful man was so polite, Emperor Dongchen suddenly became a little more happy, and the two quickly chatted freely.

......

Half a day later, Jia Ling walked out of the hall with a happy face.

"Master, what do you think?" After he left, Emperor Dongchen pondered for a long time and asked with a hint of confusion on his face.

"All you need is a hereditary official of the Grand Master, plus any mansion?" Master Nie Jun frowned slightly, "This request is too strange, it feels like a ......"

"It's like a mortal's request!" Emperor Dongchen stared.

"Let's take one step at a time," the master was dumbfounded for a moment, then shook his head and said, "At least after signing the oath contract, he can be regarded as officially joining our empire, and one more strong person is always haode!"

"I hope so......" Although he couldn't figure it out, Emperor Dongchen couldn't delve into anything, and at such a small price, in exchange for the help of a strong person at the peak of the spirit refining realm, it was as incredible as a windfall from the sky.

......

The imperial capital of Chenxing, in an inconspicuous inn.

The door was pushed open in an instant, and Jia Ling rushed into the room with an expressionless face.

"Husband, how are you going?" In the room was sitting a middle-aged woman in an embroidered white robe, with a big belly, obviously pregnant. Seeing Jia Ling coming in, she hurriedly got up and asked.

"It's going well, in the future, my identity will be the Taishi of the Dongchen Empire, and the official position will be hereditary. ”

"What is the use of such a small empire, such a position?" the woman's eyes suddenly darkened a lot.

"A small empire is easy to hide, if it's really a big empire, I won't necessarily be able to get much treatment from this kind of cultivation!" Jia Ling sighed, "The backlash of the secret method is becoming more and more frequent, I'm afraid that it won't be long before all my mana will be lost! Knowing this, it is not appropriate to find this emperor too much, just seek a hereditary title and prepare a way back for future generations." ”

"Alas, I hope that your two sons will fight for their own strength and become monks no less than yours. ”

"I hope so, I don't ask them to avenge me, I just have the strength to survive in this world......"
