"Yes, in the Xuanzhou Continent and the 'Foreign Battlefield', there is no such thing as the 'Immortal Alliance'. Its influence there is very small, but the yellow areas of the Xuanzhou Continent must obey the constraints of the 'Celestial Alliance'."
Xing Kui explained, took a sip of wine, and continued:
"The 'Immortal Alliance' law enforcement elders are composed of ten, and their realm must not be lower than the Taoist realm. They rotate every ten years and can be re-elected for three terms. These ten law enforcement elders are selected from all the members of the 'Immortal Alliance'.
Non-members of the 'Immortal Alliance' are not allowed to run for election."
"Oh, are there any conditions for joining the 'Immortal Alliance'?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"Yes, the 'Immortal Alliance' only allows members to join in the form of sects or families, and does not accept individual members. Moreover, when new members join, they must be recommended by more than three current law enforcement elders and obtain more than two-thirds of the votes of all member representatives.
OK." Xing Kui explained.
"It's so difficult! Doesn't that exclude casual cultivators?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"Well, so in the Shenzhou Continent, there are almost no casual cultivators, and they will at least find a small sect to join them. Moreover, the 'Immortal Alliance' requires that all immortal cultivators in the Shenzhou Continent must unconditionally obey its control, otherwise
Kill without mercy!" Xing Kui replied.
"So domineering! Does the Immortal Alliance also control those small sects that cannot join the Immortal Alliance?" Gongsun Yan asked again.
"Of course, these small sects have a large number of people, and they are actually a collection of large numbers of casual cultivators. They must pay enough 'immortal cultivation tax' to the 'Immortal Alliance' every year, otherwise they will be disbanded on the spot, and the members of the 'Immortal Alliance' will not have to pay taxes.
." Xing Kui explained.
"Wouldn't it be better to simply become a casual cultivator, where you can be free and don't have to pay taxes?" Gongsun Yan said.
"Oh, Brother Gongsun, in the Divine Continent, casual cultivators cannot ascend. Don't you know that?"
"ah……"
Only then did Gongsun Yan realize how powerful the "Immortal Alliance" was! They behaved even more domineeringly, as if they were the leaders of the world of immortal cultivation. If they really offended them, the road to "ascension" would be blocked. It seems that Yi Rui also
We underestimate the status and power of the "Immortal Alliance".
The two chatted for a while and saw that Xing Kui didn't eat or drink much. Gongsun Yan also passed on the "preserving turbidity and transforming essence" technique to Xing Kui, and then they went back to their rooms to rest after paying their bills.
Early the next morning, after the two had finished their meal, they immediately rushed towards the Xianwu Palace. They decided to worship the mountain in public.
When we arrived at the foot of the Jishi Mountains, we could see the gate of the Xianwu Palace from a distance. There were disciples in white robes guarding both sides. They all looked proudly at all things and did not take the heroes of the world seriously.
Seeing the two coming, one of the guards shouted loudly:
"Stop! Don't you know this is Xianwu Palace?"
"Oh? Is this the Xianwu Palace? What does it say on it?" Gongsun Yan pointed to the three big characters "Xianwu Palace" above the mountain gate and asked the guard.
"Aren't you illiterate? Of course this is the Xianwu Palace! Look at which other sect is as impressive as ours! Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan pretended to be surprised and said to Xing Kui beside him:
"Second brother, it seems that this is our eldest nephew's sect. Now there is something going on."
The guard was confused and didn't understand what Gongsun Yan was talking about, so he asked with some confusion:
"What eldest nephew's sect? Why on earth are you here?"
"Oh, we are looking for Wuchuan Ba, he is our eldest nephew!" Gongsun Yan explained.
"Eldest nephew? What are your surnames?" When the guard heard Gongsun Yan's self-introduction, he really didn't dare to be vague and asked humbly.
"Oh, my surname is Chu, Chu Bao, and this is my second brother, Chu Hu." Gongsun Yan explained patiently.
"Nonsense! Our palace master's surname is Wu and your surname is Chu. How can we be uncles and nephews? Besides, our palace master is over fifty years old. How could we have uncles as young as you!" A guard immediately shouted.
"Hey, boy, you don't know this. Your palace master's original surname is Chu. He was born to my eldest brother Chu Long's concubine. He was adopted into the Wu family when he was young. We two brothers love this nephew very much and are very unhappy about it.
You are willing to have a falling out with our eldest brother because of this. Boy, do you know the origin of your palace master’s name?”
"We don't know, but tell us." One of the guards said.
"Hmph! I'm sorry you don't know either! My two brothers have a very good relationship with my eldest brother and his concubine. This child is destined to be ours and we regard him as our own, so we suggested naming him 'Three Hegemons', which is homophonic to ''
It means "Three Dads". Later, my sister-in-law said that this name was too straightforward, so it was better to put the three characters upright, so I called it Chuanba!"
Gongsun Yan explained patiently.
Hearing this, several guards looked puzzled, and one of them asked:
"Seeing that you are obviously younger than our palace master, what is the explanation for this?"
"Boy, do you understand the principle of 'the carrot is not big, but it grows in the future'!" Gongsun Yan was a little unhappy.
Hearing this, several people looked at each other. Suddenly, one of the guards shouted:
"That's not right! You just said that our Palace Master was born with a name given by you. Now it seems that you two must be at least seventy or eighty years old. Why are you talking about seniority again? It's obviously nonsense! You are so courageous! You are so brave!
Dare to insult our palace master!"
"Hey! Why can't I explain it to you people? Can't we take the elixir? Why are you still nagging here? Go and inform us immediately. Tell your palace master that his second father and third father are here.
If you delay any longer, be careful to let him know that you are making things difficult for us and he will skin you!" Gongsun Yan said harshly.
Those people looked shocked and angry, but they didn't dare to get angry. If these two unreliable guys were telling the truth, they really couldn't afford to offend them, so they might as well report it directly, and they immediately "recommended" them.
One person went in to report.
The man had no choice but to go in and inform the elder deacon. As soon as Chu Bao's name was mentioned, the elder deacon looked shocked and quickly sent a message to the palace. Apparently he knew Chu Bao's identity.
Not long after, the deacon followed the guard who brought the message to the mountain gate. After seeing Gongsun Yan, he clasped his fists and said:
"I didn't expect General Chu to be here. Our palace master invites you!"
"Look, I said that your palace master is almost our own son. No, he knew we were coming and immediately sent someone to pick us up. However, it is still a bit unfilial. Why didn't he come to pick us up in person?" Gongsun Yan said proudly.
said.
Hearing this, the guards looked frightened, but the deacon didn't know what was going on and looked sulky. He said:
"You two, please respect yourselves. We, the Palace Masters, will treat each other with courtesy. Don't be too proud."
After saying that, the deacon turned around and led the way towards the palace.
