Chapter 683: The First Year of Peace
Zulong calendar, Yingwu ninety-ninth year.
Autumn.
Emperor Li Ying passed the throne to Crown Prince Li Rui, and changed the country's name to Xianghe.
This year, the new emperor Li Rui was sixteen years old.
On the day of his enthronement, the whole empire broadcast live.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the young new emperor was serious and looked very stable.
Throughout the Zulong Empire, countless people cheered and congratulated the new emperor on his enthronement.
They were a generation that had experienced disasters, and they had great respect for Emperor Yingwu, but they were even more confident in this new emperor Xianghe.
With the reign name changed to Xianghe, would the world be far from peace and tranquility?
So even though the new emperor had hardly appeared in the public eye before he ascended the throne, he was still welcomed by the crowd.
But in fact, he was not happy at all.
Time went back to ten minutes before he took the stage, he was still negotiating terms with his sister, the eldest princess of the royal family, Li Jin.
"Sister, please, please become the empress! Okay? I want to find Xiaoye, I want to practice with her, and I also want..."
"I want you so much!"
Li Jin, the eldest princess of the royal family, interrupted her brother, the prince, who was about to ascend the throne, without any hesitation, and glared at him and said, "Uncle Bai and Aunt Lin are always on guard against you like a thief, don't they know what's going on? And you, a beast, Xiaoye is only eight years old this year! What are you thinking? That little girl is as fierce as Aunt Lin, if she marries into the royal family in the future, you will be eaten to death?"
"But... I want to! What's wrong with being eight years old, I can wait!"
This poor kid is younger than his father was when he ascended the throne.
The key is that Li Ying doesn't want to wait.
He's tired of being an emperor.
This is because the first child is a daughter, and she has no interest in power.
Otherwise, Li Jin would have become the empress of the empire twenty years earlier!
It took Li Ying and the Queen many years to successfully have a son. This year, when he just turned sixteen, he was kicked to the throne by him.
Li Ying planned to live with the Queen in Baijiazhuang.
Since Li Ying's generation, no one in their family really wanted to be the emperor.
Whether it was the eldest prince or the third prince, they actually had little interest in that position.
Now that the world is settled, the imperial power of the Li royal family is stable, and the whole nation is practicing, the royal family is even more keen on practicing, and no one is really willing to be the emperor.
Crown Prince Li Rui has been hanging out in Baijiazhuang since he was a child.
He and Bai Xiaoye, the eight-year-old Princess of the Bai family, are childhood sweethearts, but Xiaoye always treats him as a brother.
Besides, an eight-year-old child knows nothing.
Li Rui, this little bastard, has been eyeing Bai Xiaoye for several years.
He even said shamelessly that Uncle Bai and Aunt Lin grew up together like childhood sweethearts.
Bah!
A person with relatively ordinary cultivation talent who can only be reduced to being an emperor, also wants to think about my girl?
No way!
This is definitely not what Xiaobai said.
It was Lin Zijin who said it to Li Ying.
Li Ying felt so hurt, but he had to admit that this was so damn right.
Li Rui's talent is indeed not very good in the "Bai Family Army".
Compared with Liu Zhiyuan and Ji Caiyi's son, Liu Peng, who is six years old this year, he is far behind.
Compared with Shan Gu and Ouyang Xingqi's son, Shan Fei, who is also six years old this year, he is also incomparable!
He is only six years old, and his cultivation has already broken through the Supreme, and he is heading for the Transcendent Saint.
Bai Xiaoye is only eight years old, and he has already become a real Saint Domain strongman, which is even more incomparable.
In the final analysis, it will not take many years for this group of people to be separated from Li Rui, who has not even reached the Emperor level of cultivation, by the real immortal.
Li Ying certainly hopes to become a relative of Bai Lao Da, but unfortunately, the gap is too big!
He can only hope that Bai Lao Da and Brother Lin will have another son, and then after a few years, he and the Queen Mother will work hard to have a daughter and marry her to the Bai family...
Time goes back to the coronation scene.
Almost all the top dignitaries in the empire are here.
The former Shenlong and Canghai royal families, and the current Zulong "old-fashioned" nobles are also here.
In fact, not many years have passed, but no one in these two royal families has thought about restoring the country, which is simply impossible.
So they are all honest, content with the status quo, and become top nobles.
The former regent Li Yu also came to the scene to watch the ceremony.
Li Yu is now a person of cultivation, and has already entered the realm of the lower gods!
He looks very young and handsome.
Qin Ranran, who is still young and beautiful, appears beside him, and every move reveals an incomparably noble temperament.
Such occasions are naturally indispensable for a group of people from the Fulong team.
A bunch of naughty kids are surrounding the new generation big sister Bai Xiaoye.
Liu Peng and Dan Fei, two years younger than Bai Xiaoye, are like two generals, guarding Bai Xiaoye tightly.
"If that bastard Li Rui dares to harass Sister Xiaoye later, we will beat him!" Dan Fei said to Liu Peng beside him with a serious face.
"He doesn't dare. Today is his big day. Everyone in the world is watching him. He is not so bold. We can't act rashly either. If Aunt Wenjun and the others find out that we are causing trouble, it will be terrible! Everything must be planned before action!" Liu Peng also looked serious.
"Alas, Aunt Siyin is still the best!" Shan Fei's pretty face was full of melancholy.
"Are you two childish?" Bai Xiaoye, who was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away, curled her lips and glared at the two generals beside her.
"Sister Xiaoye, when will your father marry Aunt Wenjun? Hurry up and take her in! She is too scary, just like a big devil..." Shan Fei whispered.
"What do you know? The real big devil is actually my dad!" Bai Xiaoye explained seriously, "Besides, that's the adults' business. I don't care. Anyway, I'm a good student and a good boy. No one punishes me. You two deserve to be punished!"
Shan Fei carefully glanced at the adults, and then looked at Liu Peng: "Actually, your mother is also scary!"
Liu Peng rolled his eyes: "Do you need to tell me that?"
How could a group of little brats whispering over there hide it from a group of adults whose realm is infinitely close to the Red Dust Immortal?
But this group of people all pretended not to hear it.
There is no way. These naughty kids are much better and more mature than they were back then.
As long as they are not stupid, growing up in such a family, their talents in all aspects will not be bad.
Especially Bai Xiaoye, this little girl who is loved by thousands of people, is so outstanding that it is terrifying.
If Xiaobai and Lin Zijin hadn't deliberately suppressed her, the eight-year-old Bai Xiaoye would have broken through to the supreme realm long ago.
This pure new life fully combines the advantages of Xiaobai and Zijin. Whether it is mental power or spiritual power, it is terrifyingly high at birth.
At this time, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor has reached the final stage.
As long as Li Ying personally puts the crown symbolizing the emperor of the Zulong Empire on his son, everything will be settled.
No one suddenly appeared here to make trouble.
After all, this place almost gathers the strongest power in the entire world today.
When the crown was put on Li Rui's head, the young new emperor couldn't help but shed tears.
Those who didn't know thought it was excitement.
After all, this is a super empire that controls countless civilizations!
What an honor it is to be the emperor of such an empire?
But those who know know that this kid is crying because he will be bound from now on.
Alas, learn from your father, quickly find a gentle and virtuous queen, give birth to more sons, choose an excellent successor, and then you will be free.
But want to marry Bai Xiaoye?
Forget it!
Let alone others, no one could pass the hurdle of Liu Peng and Dan Fei.
The coronation ceremony was an official event, and everyone maintained their demeanor and seriousness.
However, there was no need to be tense at the royal closed-door dinner that followed.
Countless old friends from the Fulong team came to toast Xiaobai.
His disciples, and his disciples who have now begun to emerge in various industries in the empire.
And the subordinates he accepted back then.
Even the nominal disciples like Master Lu came to join in the fun.
This is what the human world should look like.
It would be better if there were no group of extraterritorial demons.
Xiaobai still used water instead of wine, and accepted everyone who came.
He has never been afraid of anyone when drinking water!
Over the years, the rune underworlds in various human planes and countless civilizations have also gathered countless creatures.
As long as the six reincarnations are not completed, the underworld condensed by the runes cannot be removed.
The Great Southern God and the Purple Light God Son are becoming more and more proficient in controlling the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Sometimes even Xiaobai feels like he is in a dream.
In the dead of night, he leaned against the head of the bed, Lin Zijin rested her head on his shoulder, and whispered: "Brother, are you worried?"
Bai Muye smiled and said: "As long as the Six Paths of Reincarnation are not completed, I will not be at ease. And those extraterritorial demons, we have been looking for them for so many years, but there is still no trace of them, which is also a very strange thing."
"I always suspect that Senior Tianyun's return from the outer world was related to this group of extraterritorial demons, but no matter where those extraterritorial demons are hiding or the entrance to the outer world, we have no way to find them."
"Now that Although these rune underworlds can barely replace the six reincarnations, they require Nan Fang and Zi Guang to devote endless energy... "
Bai Muye sighed: "After a long time, I am afraid that the rune underworld can hold on, but they can't!"
Lin Zijin hummed and said: "This is indeed a problem. Even if they can always guarantee an impartial attitude, there are too many creatures. Even with the system designed by Sister Piaoliang and Sister Xue, it is a bit too busy. What do you think, should we go to hell?"
"Go to hell?" Bai Muye raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Isn't there a transcendent being hidden in hell? How about we go and ask him for advice? Also, do you remember, isn't Xiao Gu's father, the late emperor... also there?"
Lin Zijin put one arm on Bai Muye's waist and said softly, "We never told him about this, and he doesn't know yet."
The retired emperor Li Ying now lives in Baijiazhuang and asks everyone to call him Xiao Gu...
This guy really wants to catch up, and he always considers himself a member of the Fulong team.
"How about we take Li Ying to hell? Maybe we can really find his father." Bai Muye said.
"Well, I think it's okay." Lin Zijin responded positively.
In fact, it's just too boring to stay at home!
It's been calm all these years.
It seems as if nothing has happened.
But the group of extraterritorial demons that appeared in the battle when the emperor fell made everyone feel like a lump in the throat.
Everyone knows that group of people are waiting...waiting for the day when the Six Paths of Reincarnation are rebuilt.
So everyone wants to find them in advance, completely eliminate them, and eliminate the trouble forever.
Xiaobai left tracking runes on the group of people at that time, but when he wanted to find them later, he found that those runes seemed to have completely disappeared in this world.
It is impossible to find them.
As for cultivation, the people in the first echelon have now reached the critical point between the Great Heavenly God and the Red Dust Immortal.
Not to mention everyone, even Xiaobai can't break through that barrier.
The combat power has long reached the level of the Red Dust Immortal, but the realm cannot be raised.
This is also caused by the rules of heaven and earth.
Xiaobai himself understands that unless the Six Paths of Reincarnation is successfully rebuilt, the entire world will completely resume normal operation.
But the materials for building the Six Paths of Reincarnation are even more impossible to find.
This universe is huge and hides endless secrets.
Xiaobai has traveled to many places with Zijin and other people from the Fulong team over the years.
Even many powerful civilizations that have never been discovered in the past have been discovered.
But there is no clue about the clues of the six reincarnation materials.
Xiaobai has been living in seclusion for many years, and outsiders can't get in touch with him at all.
Therefore, although the noble foreign demon woman has come to the world and has gained a certain reputation through hard work, it is impossible to get close to Xiaobai and give him clues about the six reincarnation materials.
The foreign demon woman, who goes by the alias Athena, is now the chairman of a large group. Originally, she deliberately got a ticket to the ceremony for the new emperor's enthronement, hoping to get close to Bai Muye through this opportunity.
But what she didn't expect was that her ticket to the ceremony was at the outermost area!
But Bai Muye's group was in the core area.
Either force your way in, or you can't get close at all.
Athena was lying in a bathtub full of rose petals, with a glass of red wine beside her, and Qin Ranran's beautiful singing playing on the speakers.
The water was a little hot, making her extremely fair skin slightly red. She drank a lot of wine, and her cheeks were also hot.
Her eyes were a little blurry, and she murmured: "The world is really beautiful, such a world... Why can't we share it? Why don't we have a place?"
She glanced at her body in the water covered with rose petals, and said with some shame and anger: "Such a beautiful body, countless men want it, why can't I even get close to you?"
The next moment, she stood up from the water, the water on her body was quickly evaporated, and she walked out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel.
Looking at the handsome man who seemed to have appeared in her room from the sky, she said coldly: "You shouldn't come here at this time."
"Is it because you are taking a shower?" The handsome man with blond hair and a pair of blue eyes with a somewhat evil smile said lightly: "You know, I am not interested in women."
"It's not because I am taking a shower, but because it's too dangerous." The woman wrapped in a bath towel, sat on a chair, picked up a box of cigarettes on the table next to her, lit one elegantly, and looked at the handsome man who was still standing there: "Are you here to urge me?"
"Yes, the master heard that the man had not found any clues in these years, and he was a little anxious. This kind of thing is not difficult, why do you do it? Not good?"
The handsome man looked at the woman: "The last sentence was said by the master."
"The master said?" The woman leaned lazily on the chair, her two long white legs crossed, her eyes slightly blurred, and said: "How about... you try it?"
"Me? I'm a man!" The handsome blond guy was confused and a little annoyed, looking at the woman and said: "Be serious, pull your legs back, don't put on such a look of letting you take advantage of me, okay? If you have the ability, go do it to that Bai!"
The woman rolled her eyes and sneered: "If there is that opportunity, do you need to remind me? I can't even see him, okay?"
Old, old lady?
The man was even more confused, looking at her with a dull face.
After a long while, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the former demon master once said that humans are actually much more terrifying than us extraterritorial demons. How long have you been in the human world? You have already changed so much. If you live in the human world for thousands of years, you will be completely assimilated into humans?"
"It's not bad to be a human being," Athena pursed her lips slightly, pressed the half of the cigarette butt in her hand into the ashtray, and looked up at the man, "I even don't want to be a demon now."
"Don't make trouble!" The man said angrily: "Don't take it lightly just because I am your best friend. What if the master gets angry and wants to kill you in a moment!"
Athena chuckled, changed her body, and said: "Really?"
The man was immediately startled, staring at the man in front of him in amazement, and a chill came out of his body and rushed directly to the top of his head.
Both legs were frightened and a little weak.
The person in front of him made a cold and deep voice: "Is it like this?"
"You...you are crazy!" The man's soft golden hair was almost frightened, took a deep breath, looked at the woman and said: "Since you have successfully practiced this technique, why don't you take action?"
The woman nodded with satisfaction, changed back to her original appearance, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting there with her legs crossed, lit another cigarette, and said: "Until now, I finally confirmed that there is indeed no problem."
The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand! You just suddenly changed into the appearance of the master, and even fooled me, which means that if you turn into someone else's appearance, you can also fool that Bai!"
Athena showed a charming smile: "Correct answer, but no reward!"
The man didn't care about this kind of ridicule, walked to the window and said: "Whether the master can turn the tide and occupy this world depends on you!"
"Don't worry, it's not like you haven't been a goddess to them humans before." The woman smiled, her eyes full of confidence.
...
Xiaobai took Lin Zijin and the emperor Li Ying... well, that is, Xiao Gu, and the three of them quietly left Feixian Star. After many years, they set out on the road to hell again.
They left very secretly, even those in Baijia Manor were not aware that they had left.
Over the years, the monitoring system set up by Da Piaoliang and Han Bingxue has intercepted countless network intrusions into Baijia Manor.
As for the invasion of divine thoughts... there are countless.
Everyone is even too lazy to find out who wants to spy here.
Anyway, there are those who are curious, and there are also those who have ulterior motives.
Look, you can't see anything.
If someone really dares to invade, Xiaobai's constantly updated talisman arrays will definitely give the other party the most enthusiastic welcome ceremony.
Even so, they were still very careful when they left.
The whereabouts of this thing should be unpredictable.
Just when the three were about to leave Feixian, Xiaobai suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked at the Feixian Star under his feet.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zijin asked.
"Just now, I seemed to sense the rune fluctuations that I left on those people." Bai Muye frowned slightly.
"Huh? Those people came to Feixian?" Lin Zijin's eyes lit up instantly.
She gave birth to a child that year and missed that battle, and she always regretted it.
Now that she heard that those extraterritorial demons came again, she was immediately eager to fight.
It's been too long since we fought, especially the weapon that was brought back from the Emperor of Heaven has not been used yet.
I haven't tried the Frost Blade yet, this won't do.
I have to find a chance to cut a few to sharpen the blade.
"It's gone again." Bai Muye said.
Lin Zijin: "..."
She looked at Bai Muye with a scrutinizing look: Brother, are you kidding me?
Xiao Bai was also a little embarrassed, but he still said seriously: "Just now, I did have a feeling that there must be something on the other party that can cover my rune. I don't know why, it was exposed for a moment."
Lin Zijin looked at Bai Muye pitifully: "Can't we find them out?"
Bai Muye shook his head: "It's difficult, but you can leave a message to Sister Piaoliang and ask her to pay attention and screen the suspicious people on Feixian Star in recent years. I always feel that the other party may have lurked around us."
"Oh, really," Lin Zijin looked regretful and pouted, "It's boring to hide your head and show your tail! Let's go to hell to play!"
Xiao Gu was a little afraid to speak on the side, looking very weak, helpless and pitiful.
