Chapter 687: Emperor Stage Cultivators are Prohibited from Entering the World!

Hearing what Ye Chen said, even Niu Qingshan could not help but look at Li Xuanji!

Although he was the Dragon King of the Dragon Soul, he only knew that there was the Celestial Master Hall above him. However, the details of the Celestial Master Hall were classified secrets.

“Speaking of Longevity Sword, I still need to introduce the Secret Bureau to you two.”

Meeting their gazes, Li Xuanji sighed softly, “In the past, the Great Ancestor felt the astonishing power of the cultivators and was worried that the internal peace would be affected if the cultivators caused trouble. Moreover, he was afraid of the existence of Shang Santian, so he secretly set up a mysterious department, and this department is the Secret Bureau!”

Ye Chen and Niu Qingshan were surprised to hear that.

Who would have thought that the Secret Bureau was created by the Great Ancestor!

Li Xuanji said slowly, “When the Secret Bureau was established, there were only a few people, but these people were the most powerful in China. All of them came from the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace!

As the saying goes, ‘experts are among the people’. The saying is actually a fallacy. You have to know that any ancient Imperial Palace controlled the gangs and secular sects in the world, and the Imperial Palace collected the best cultivation manuals and resources in the world!”

Niu Qingshan nodded his head silently when he heard that.

Since ancient times, the Imperial Palace had always focused on civil and military matters. Scholars were scholars, and most of them came from aristocratic families. On the other hand, the scope of martial arts was rather broad, and there was almost no distinction between noble and lowly.

Li Xuanji continued, “During the Qing Dynasty, there were six powerful people in the world. The first was the head eunuch, Li Desan, and the second was the commander of the imperial guards, Chen Longxiang. The third was the imperial astronomer, Yu Guanxing, and the fourth was the commander of the Royal Guards, Ma Changgong.”

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing slowly, “These four are all from the Imperial Palace. At that time, they were already at the peak of Martial Dao master. They could injure people by picking flowers and leaves, and they could even kill people within a hundred meters!”

Ye Chen’s expression froze when he heard that.

“The fifth is Jiang Zhengyang that you guys met earlier. This person isn’t a member of the Imperial Palace, but lives in seclusion in the mountains. He has always been cultivating Dark Learning and can be considered a Spell Master.

And I’m the sixth one!”

Li Xuanji flicked his horsetail whisk, his expression calm, “After the Imperial Palace was destroyed, the first four powerhouses went their separate ways. Two of them went to Shang Santian, while the remaining two, Jiang Zhengyang and I were invited by the Great Ancestor. The four of us became the guardians of the Secret Bureau!”

Ye Chen asked, “Is Longevity Sword one of the four of you?”

“That’s right!”

Li Xuanji nodded slightly, “Although the four of us are guardians of the Secret Bureau, we hardly interact with each other. Therefore, I’m not sure which of the three Longevity Sword is.

The country gradually stabilized since then, and the number of cultivators increased rapidly. The four of us couldn’t take care of it, so we established the Heavenly Palace and wanted them to manage it!”

He glanced at Niu Qingshan and said, “We were worried that Heavenly Palace would be too powerful and we wouldn’t be able to control them, so we created the Dragon Soul, wanting to restrict Heavenly Palace and create a balance between the both.”

Niu Qingshan’s spirit was roused, and he muttered, “S-So this is how the Dragon Soul and Heavenly Palace come about. No wonder Dragon Soul has never gotten along with Heavenly Palace since the beginning. No wonder all the previous Dragon Kings fought with Heavenly Palace’s Palace Masters!”

Ye Chen gradually came to a realization, “To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Palace and Dragon Soul are equivalent to the Eastern and Western Depots of the Ming Dynasty?”

“You can put it that way!”

Li Xuanji nodded slightly and said, “All these years, the four of us have never interfered in the grudges between Dragon Soul and Heavenly Palace. It was also because Fellow Ye defeated Guan Shanyue this time that the balance is broken, so this humble one had no choice but to reveal myself!”

“There are some things that I don’t understand!”

Ye Chen frowned and said, “Why would Jiang Zhengyang show up to protect Guan Shanyue? I don’t understand that. Guan Shanyue came into contact with Shang Santian openly, but you guys allowed him to do that?”

Li Xuanji let out a long sigh, “Because the previous Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master was Jiang Zhengyang’s disciple. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Ye Chen scoffed when he heard that.

Since the previous Heavenly Palace’s Palace Master was Jiang Zhengyang, the disciple of the Secret Bureau’s guardian, Jiang Zhengyang sided with the Heavenly Palace. That was why he appeared to stop Ye Chen!

“As for why we sit back and watch Heavenly Palace approach Shang Santian…”

A hint of helplessness appeared on Li Xuanji’s aged face, “It’s because, after so many years, the four of us are no longer together. Someone is close to Shang Santian, and both sides have their own opinions.”

“Since the four of you share the same status, why would Jiang Zhengyang listen to Longevity Sword’s orders?” Ye Chen still had many doubts.

“It’s simple!”

Li Xuanji said calmly, “Because Longevity Sword is the most powerful one among the four of us. As the saying goes, Longevity Sword breaks the longevity. After so many years, countless powerhouses have died under Longevity Sword’s hands!”

Ye Chen was deep in thought!

He had seen Li Xuanji and Jiang Zhengyang among the four guardians of the Secret Bureau. That meant that Longevity Sword was among the other two.

Furthermore, Longevity Sword had made contact with him before!

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall such a person!

At that moment, Li Xuanji seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Ye Chen and said, “What’s your current stage?”

Niu Qingshan looked at Ye Chen immediately after hearing that.

The two of them were curious about Ye Chen because he did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations on him. Even when he was fighting Xiao Yang and the rest, the energy fluctuations on his body were neither like ancient martial artists nor Spell Masters. It was very puzzling.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, “You can consider my cultivation base the equivalence of a peak martial venerable!”

Li Xuanji and Niu Qingshan’s pupils constricted hearing what he said!

“As expected of the most talented person in China in 100 years!”

Li Xuanji sighed faintly, “Your strength is comparable to mine. For you to possess such a cultivation at such a young age, it’s not impossible for you to become an emperor in the future!”

“What emperor? Elder Priest Li, is martial emperor below martial venerable?” Niu Qingshan was immediately interested.

Li Xuanji said slowly, “For ancient martial artists, those above martial venerable are martial emperors. But for Spell Masters, those above Origin Energy are on the Divine Stage. It’s just that it’s too rare. Ever since the development of the Chinese cultivation world, no one has ever been conferred the title of emperor or stepped into the Divine Stage!”

Niu Qingshan said subconsciously, “May I ask if there is a martial emperor in Shang Santian?”

“Yes!”

Li Xuanji took a deep breath in and said firmly, “There are people in Shang Santian who are bestowed the title of emperor. However, you don’t have to worry. Emperor Stage cultivators are not allowed to enter the secular world. This is an iron rule. Otherwise, all the countries in the world will join forces to punish them.”

He said seriously, “Remember, never underestimate the power of the countries. No matter how powerful a martial emperor is, he’s still a human. A human’s power is insignificant compared to the countries!”

He looked at Ye Chen as he spoke to this point, “Although the martial emperors can’t enter the world, you can’t be careless. Shang Santian has existed for a long time. Its foundation is terrifying. Xiao Yang and the rest who died in your hands are nothing. The real powerhouses have yet to take action!

Fortunately, Shang Santian came to this world for the ghost ship. Otherwise, even the Secret Bureau would not be able to bear the wrath of Shang Santian!”

The word ‘ghost ship’ made Ye Chen’s heart skip a beat. He could not help but ask, “Elder Priest Li, why did Shang Santian go through so much trouble for the ghost ship? Could it be that they’re really looking for immortality?”

“No!”

Li Xuanji shook his head slightly, “It’s said that the ghost ship can lead to the three immortal mountains. On the immortal mountains, there are divinities and all kinds of treasures. That’s why Shang Santian is so eager to get it.”

With that, he took out a sheepskin from his body. On it was a sea of clouds. At the peak of the sea of clouds was a small tree. On the tree was a golden fruit that looked like an apricot.

“This is a blueprint that the Secret Bureau found on the ghost ship. The fruit on it is called Vermilion Fruit.”

Li Xuanji pointed at the golden fruit and said, “It’s said that a normal person can live for ten years more just by taking a whiff of its fragrance. When a mortal eats it, they can instantly clear their meridians and become an innate stage master!”

What he did not notice was that Ye Chen’s expression changed after seeing the golden fruit.

Earth Immortal Fruit!

It was an Earth Immortal Fruit!
