Chapter 421 The Second Thing the Empress Wants to Announce
"Welcome to Tianyun Hall to attend the meeting. I believe everyone has seen the document written by the empress about the imperial mausoleum.
Today, in addition to announcing the specific matters of the imperial mausoleum and the underworld to the world, the empress will also announce another thing.
Please be patient and wait for the empress to say."
Looking at the major sects that have basically gathered together, facing the many cultivators on the top of the mountain, Elder Wang sank into his dantian and his voice spread in all directions.
The major sects who came naturally did not dare to say anything, especially they were extremely curious about the second thing that the empress was going to announce, which made almost everyone stand in awe and look at Tianyun Hall with expectation.
After speaking, Elder Wang respectfully stepped aside.
As if sensing something, the eyes of many cultivators gathered in the direction of Tianyun Hall at the same time.
They actually saw clearly that the mist in the Tianyun Hall began to slowly dissipate.
The flawless outline hidden in it also began to gradually become clear.
Finally, as a breeze swept by, the figure behind the clouds and mist was revealed.
Three thousand black hair fluttered in the wind, and there was a little light blue extreme coldness in the cold autumn eyes.
The skin as smooth as jade was as pure as snow. When the proud beautiful eyes opened slowly, it seemed as if they had been sleeping for a thousand years, with a bit of longevity and coldness.
The long and dense eyelashes raised a perfect arc, and the cherry lips were as pink as blooming cherry petals.
There was a bit of beauty in the coldness, and a bit of coldness in the flawlessness.
Looking at the scene in front of them, which was like a poem and painting, many cultivators couldn't help but stand there.
Even though they had gone through practice and strengthened their minds countless times, they still couldn't control the shaking in their hearts at this time.
It is rumored that Empress Qingyue ranked second in the Book of Allure, and was the most beautiful in the country.
But there are very few people who can really see her beauty.
Even those who were lucky enough to come to Tianyun Palace and see the empress could only see her graceful figure through a layer of mist.
For most cultivators, it was the first time to see her in person in Tianyun Palace.
Even though they had heard of the beauty of the Book of Allure, the appearance of the empress still made them feel deeply shocked.
Her appearance was stunning, and more importantly, the imperial power that was faintly floating out was even more awe-inspiring.
How could the existence of the empress not make people feel infinite awe?
However...
Many sects noticed a very strange problem.
Beside the empress, there were twelve holy envoys from the twelve Xingluo Palaces, and ten supreme elders including Elder Wang.
The cultivation and strength of these people were enough to be recognized by the world, and it was understandable that they were standing beside the empress to protect her.
"But why is that guy next to the empress?"
Many cultivators clearly saw that among the people guarding the empress, only one person was in the most awkward position and was closest to the empress.
That person... was Nie Chen!
"Nie Chen is neither a supreme elder nor a holy envoy, so why can he stand next to the empress?"
"Isn't this against the rules?
Even if his cultivation and qualifications are extremely outstanding, the status required to stand next to the empress is far more than just qualifications!"
Many cultivators couldn't help but frown, and some couldn't tolerate Nie Chen's presence in that position.
After all, being able to stand next to the empress is the dream of many people, and how could he be qualified with his cultivation and status?
"There are many more specific things about the imperial mausoleum and the underworld that this emperor cannot explain clearly in the letter. Today, this emperor will announce these things to the world.
This is also the first purpose of this emperor's convening of the various sects meeting today."
At this moment, the rather cold, but melodious voice like the sound of an empty valley came.
Hearing this voice mixed with a bit of cold and arrogant majesty, all the thousands of cultivators from all sects fell silent at the same time.
Not only did they look at Chu Qingyue in awe, but their minds were also temporarily focused.
Looking at the many cultivators who gradually returned to silence, Chu Qingyue nodded slightly, and only opened her red lips after a long while.
What can be written in the letter is limited. Now that almost all the major sects have gathered here, Chu Qingyue also slowly recounted the specific content of what happened in the imperial mausoleum and the underworld.
Including meeting Emperor Qiu Yan and Chess Emperor Xiao Wang in the imperial mausoleum, the countless corpses of the emperors behind the canyon, the strange scene behind the door, the things encountered after arriving in the underworld, and the real identity of Meng Niang, who guards the Naihe Bridge, is the soul of Emperor Qiu Yan, etc.
Of course, now that the major sects in the world are facing each other, many of the specific details of the date with Nie Chen have been dug out.
But even so, the cultivators from all directions who listened to all this solemnly were all boiling in their hearts and were stunned.
They were just listening to the empress telling the story, but when they came to their senses, they found that an hour had passed.
It was enough to see how attractive the empress's story was.
Even though the cultivators who came to Tianyun Hall to attend the conference were all leaders of various sects and had experienced countless storms, Chu Qingyue's story about the imperial mausoleum and the underworld completely shocked them.
For thousands of years, there have been constant disputes on the Lanchuan Continent, but very few cultivators have set their sights on the distance.
Even if they tried their best to practice and explore the secret realm, they never knew that there were seven-colored source stones on the continent that could open the door to the underworld.
They had no idea that there were towns and lifestyles in the underworld that were very similar to those in the present world, and that the dead ghosts were living normally, waiting to go to the Naihe Bridge to the afterlife.
They had no idea that there was a Netherworld Dynasty that ruled over trillions of ghosts in the underworld, and that the one who ruled over the dynasty was the current Princess Youqian.
These things were enough to make anyone's heart throb.
In addition to the awe of the unknown existence, they were deeply aware of the smallness and fragility of the Lanchuan Continent.
If it weren't for the Empress and Nie Chen discovering and solving the problem in time, I'm afraid the entire Lanchuan Continent would have fallen into a catastrophe.
"Wait, Nie Chen!"
Suddenly, many people woke up at the same time.
Thinking back to when the Empress was telling the story just now, they suddenly felt it vaguely.
Even though the Empress seemed to deliberately avoid certain topics, the things she talked about, especially after entering the underworld, seemed to show that the Empress and Nie Chen were always very close, and their relationship also made people start to daydream.
"That's Empress Qingyue who wrote "On the Uselessness of Taoist Companions", it shouldn't be possible!"
"But..."
"Empress, what is the second thing you want to announce besides the imperial mausoleum?"
Suddenly, someone asked fearlessly.
