46 places (b)
The first time Chu Duan saw Emperor Canglan was not in the court, because it was too formal.
The court of the Canglan Dynasty is mainly the place where the Canglan Emperor receives the hundred officials, and Chu Duan is a prince, not among the hundred officials, but a status.
The front is gurgling water, the left and right are rockery forests, the Canglan Emperor is sitting in the pavilion, it does not look like a strong back, but it has a majestic momentum, high above, overlooking the common people.
"The True Sword Hou is younger than the Emperor imagined. Emperor Canglan turned his head and looked at Chu Duan, and for a moment Chu Duan had an illusion, this was an emperor who had mastered the power of life and death, coming from the Nine Heavens.
Fortunately, Chu Duan's Yuan Shen reached the third level, and under the cultivation of the past few months, he also had a lot of improvement, and he came to his senses in an instant, and bowed to the sword: "The true sword hou has seen His Majesty." ”
"I've seen the royal brother. Hu Yanao also saluted.
As a prince or prince, there is no need to bow down to the emperor, but he can't be rude, Chu Duan has never been a member of the royal family, and it is naturally the etiquette of sword cultivation.
The etiquette of sword cultivation is also referred to as the sword ceremony, which can be divided into four types: the first sword ceremony, the second sword ceremony, the third sword ceremony and the sword worship ceremony.
Usually, the first sword salute is used for the peers, the second sword salute is used for the elders or those who are stronger than themselves, and the three sword salutes are also used for the elders or those who are stronger than themselves and have a higher status than themselves, which is more formal than the second sword salute, and the final sword salute is the most formal of the four sword salutes.
Emperor Canglan is the ruler of a holy land, and he is a powerful nine-star saint level, no matter which aspect, he is many times better than Chu Duan, in a sense, it can be regarded as Chu Duan's upper peak, Chu Duan naturally chooses to worship the sword.
"The royal brother is exempt, and the real sword is exempt. "Emperor Canglan is colored.
It seems to understand that Chu Duan is not a person who likes to talk around the bush, and Emperor Canglan just talked politely before getting to the point.
That's the point. It was also the purpose for Chu Duan to be summoned here from the True Sword Sect.
"Hundred Years Secret Realm?" Chu Duan wondered.
"The Hundred Years Secret Realm is a peculiar secret realm left by the Canglan Dynasty, the founder of the Imperial Dynasty, which will be opened every hundreds of years, and the opening time is only one day. King Qingyin explained to Chu Duan on behalf of Emperor Canglan: "A hundred years of secret realm will accumulate a strange power, we call it the power of the secret realm, after accumulating the power of the secret realm for hundreds of years, it can be opened by up to ten people, and the power of the secret realm will be consumed, making a day in the outside world, within the secret realm become a hundred years." ”
"Outside the day. A hundred years in the secret realm!" Chu Duan's heart was shocked, and he was very surprised.
If calculated according to the speed of time, the speed of time in the hundred-year secret realm is tens of thousands of times that of the outside world.
"Cultivating within a hundred-year secret realm, one day, but it is equal to a hundred years of cultivation, this is the magic of a hundred-year secret realm. "Qingyin Wang Road.
Chu Duan's eyes couldn't help but burst with a hint of heat.
A day of cultivation is like a hundred years of work. The more opportunities like this, the better.
"However, there are restrictions to the Hundred Years Secret Realm. King Qingyin continued: "Those who enter, their cultivation should not be too low. You must reach the level of the Ten Thousand Ancient Realm, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the power of the secret realm, and you will die in the secret realm, but your cultivation must not be too high. Otherwise, it will consume too much power of the secret realm, and the secret realm will be unstable, which is most suitable for the cultivation of entering the hundred-year cheats. It is the early stage of the First Heaven of the Ten Thousand Ancient Realm to the peak of the Three Heavens of the Ten Thousand Ancient Realm. ”
"Moreover, there is only the power of the secret realm in the secret realm, and there is no other power, so if you want to use the secret realm to improve your cultivation, you can only take the Yuan Dan or absorb the energy stone to cultivate, but the opportunity to enter the secret realm is rare, almost once in a lifetime, and it is usually not used to improve cultivation, but to comprehend and cultivate others. ”
"The power of the secret realm can make it easier for people to enter the state of cultivation and better comprehend. King Qingyin finally said.
Chu Duan nodded.
In the path of cultivation, if the talent is sufficient, cultivation only needs to consume time, and energy needs to be consumed to improve, while other aspects of enlightenment not only need time, but also need opportunities.
Sometimes, when you comprehend a secret method or comprehend a realm, you get stuck and you can't break through it for ten years or decades, and sometimes you can say if you succeed in an epiphany.
The power of the secret realm of a hundred years of secret realm can make people better enter the state of cultivation, better comprehend, improve the state of mind, etc., which is definitely more cost-effective than using it for the improvement of cultivation.
It can be said that entering the Hundred Years Secret Realm is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation for nothing, while the real world is just a day in the past.
"A hundred years of cheats, is it possible that no matter if you enter ten people or one, you can only open it for one day?" asked Chu Duan.
"That's right. King Qingyin nodded.
Chu Duan felt that it was too, otherwise, if the power of the secret realm of the hundred-year secret realm was for ten low-level saint-level cultivators for one day, in other words, it would be equivalent to ten days of cultivation for one low-level saint-level.
One day for a hundred years, ten days for a thousand years.
If you choose a low-level saint level with excellent talent to enter and cultivate for a thousand years, after you come out, you will definitely be many times stronger than before, which is equivalent to a thousand years more cultivation time than people of the same generation.
It is not difficult for the Canglan royal family to select a top peerless genius, maybe there are demon-level geniuses, and if there is an extra thousand years of cultivation time, I don't know how much it will surpass its peers, and even surpass many older generations.
"The ten places in the Hundred Years Secret Realm have basically been determined, and the True Sword is waiting for one. Emperor Canglan said.
Chu Duan was not surprised, if he didn't give himself a place, he didn't need to specially summon himself from the True Sword Sect and explain the Hundred Years Secret Realm to himself in detail.
"Thank you. Chu Duan saluted again.
"With your talents, you are eligible. Emperor Canglan accepted it calmly, and said at the same time that he was broad-minded, and he did not exclude Chu Duan because he was not from the Canglan royal family, of course, if Chu Duan was unwilling to accept the title of marquis, it would be another matter.
Accepting the title of marquis is equivalent to one's own people, and of course it must be better cultivated.
"True Sword Candidate, although it is said that one out of ten places belongs to you, this is not absolute. King Qingyin said again: "There are many geniuses who want to enter the hundred-year secret book, the quota is only ten, and the other nine are all members of the royal family, and they have a strong foundation here, and although the true sword is a prince, it is newly sealed, the prestige is insufficient, and there is no strong foundation in the imperial capital, so naturally there will be many people who are not convinced, and they will definitely provoke you and compete for your place." ”
"This kind of competition is a head-on competition for the imperial dynasty, and the imperial brother has always advocated it, so you can only deal with it yourself. King Qingyin continued, and Emperor Canglan didn't say a word: "But the true sword candidate can rest assured, the older generation is not allowed to make a move, and they are not allowed to play any conspiracy. ”
Chu Duan listened to King Qingyin's words and immediately understood.
The older generation is not allowed to make a move, that is, the competition of peers, and intrigues are not allowed, but yang conspiracy can.
The tricks of conspiracy and trickery are only temporary after all, only strength is forever, even in the court.
You must know that the Canglan Dynasty is a dynasty opened up by the Holy Emperor, not a mortal court, in the mortal court, more attention is paid to wisdom, to put it bluntly, it is strategy, and the Canglan Dynasty is a strong force, which requires a certain amount of strategy, but it also needs strong strength.
The Canglan Dynasty can be so strong, and it has the courage and strength to resist the imperial court, which is also inseparable from the decision-making of the Canglan Emperor, a good leader will make a force stronger, and vice versa.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Duan couldn't help but admire Emperor Canglan even more, this was a senior worth learning from.
"The opening of the hundred-year secret realm can take as little as seven days and as much as ten days. Emperor Canglan said: "The True Sword Candidate will live in the True Sword Mansion for a few days first, and when the secret realm is opened, someone will notify you." ”
"If the True Sword Hou feels fine, he can also go to the Imperial Treasure Treasury to take a look. Emperor Canglan said, faintly meaning the eviction order.
"True Sword Hou, let's go, I'll take you to see the newly built True Sword Mansion first, you will definitely be satisfied." King Qingyin smiled.
When Chu Duan heard it, he knew that it turned out that the Canglan royal family had also built a mansion for himself.
King Qingyin took Chu Dui and left the palace, headed in one direction, and soon came to a brand-new mansion.
The walls of the mansion are red, but they are not dazzling, but they look very atmospheric, and the front yard is very wide, like a martial arts training ground, and then there is the reception hall.
There are side halls, bedrooms, gardens, terraces, etc., the area of this mansion is not very large, but for Chu Duan, it is completely enough, and the architectural style inside is also quite popular with Chu Duan, simple and atmospheric, and contains a kind of sharpness.
Obviously, the people who built this mansion were very attentive, and they could also see the attitude of the royal family.
In the mansion, the housekeepers and servants and maids came out to pay homage to Chu Duan, these people were arranged by the Canglan royal family, anyway, Chu Duan did not plan to live here for a long time, so he had no intention of choosing himself, and here, someone always needs to clean up, otherwise no matter how good the mansion is, if it lacks care, it will be abandoned for a long time, which is a pity.
"As the new prince, you can choose three treasures from the Imperial Treasury Vault. "Qingyin Wang Road.
"What's in the Imperial Treasure Vault?" asked Chu Duan.
"There are a lot, exercises, secret methods, sword spells, and magic methods, as well as elixirs, pills, ores, secret treasures, and so on. King Qingyin said, "When you want to go, tell me, and I'll take you there." ”
"Why don't you go now. Chu Duan said.
Chu Duan thought, since it is the treasure house of the imperial family, there will definitely be good things, maybe, there are suitable for themselves, even if they can't find a treasure suitable for their own use, it is also good to find a treasure suitable for the development of the True Sword Sect.
"In that case, let's go. King Qingyin smiled.
So, Chu Duan had just entered his new mansion and was about to leave again. (To be continued......)
