Chapter 417 Preparation
Lin Fei pondered carefully for a long time. Overall, the three requests made by the monk Du Nan were more beneficial than harmful to him. Although besides himself, the only other person in the Southern Tang Kingdom capable of contending with a Celestial Master was Du Qingmu, putting him at a disadvantage in the third point, one couldn't have all the advantages. The three requests made by the monk Du Nan were quite reasonable.
After making up his mind, Lin Fei was the first to speak, saying, "Abbot, you are compassionate. I agree to your request."
As the saying goes, "a beautiful sedan chair is carried by many people," and when Lin Fei agreed to the request of the monk Du Nan, he did not forget to praise the monk Du Nan.
Next, all the Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm expressed their agreement with the three conditions proposed by the Divine Monk of Salvation. Even those who were dissatisfied had no choice but to reluctantly agree given the majority's consent.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, the monk Du Nan smiled and said, "Very well, since you have all agreed, let's leave it at that."
As he spoke, two sharp glints flashed in the eyes of the monk Du Nan: "If anyone violates the agreement we have made, then don't blame this old monk for being ruthless!"
After agreeing to three conditions, the group began to discuss the time for their first entry into the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Finally, everyone agreed to schedule the first entry into the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court for one month later.
This month is precisely the time when all the major powers make their final preparations for their journey to the ancient Heavenly Court ruins.
……
After leaving Xiaoling Mountain, where Leiyin Temple was located, Lin Fei returned to the capital of Southern Tang Dynasty to make final preparations for his journey to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court.
This first entry into the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court is undoubtedly the most crucial one. If Lin Fei's prediction is correct, this time, many treasures, even those comparable to the Ten Great Ancient Divine Weapons, will emerge.
And without a doubt, the battles encountered upon entering the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court this time will be extremely fierce.
Although the Celestial Masters had agreed that no one could try to seize the treasures after they were taken out of the ruins, there were no such restrictions within the area of the Celestial Court ruins.
All the major sects and forces will use every means at their disposal to compete for the treasures within the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, which have been sealed for countless years. Even grandmasters at the Celestial Realm dare not say they can escape unscathed from the Heavenly Court ruins.
As for Lin Fei, it would probably be much more difficult for him to enter the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace and obtain the mysterious treasure mentioned by the True Martial Emperor than for anyone else.
After returning to the capital of Southern Tang, Lin Fei began to consider who would accompany him to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Without a doubt, Du Qingmu, a Grandmaster at the Celestial Realm, is one of them. In the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, apart from Lin Fei, who possesses the strength to contend with a Celestial Realm Grandmaster, Du Qingmu is the only other Grandmaster-level figure left.
The Du family of Jiangxia is one of the three great families of Southern Tang. Since Lin Fei ascended the throne, the Du family has done a lot for him, and now they are even helping him monitor those evil sects. This piece of the pie should definitely be shared with the Du family.
Lin Fei then issued an imperial decree summoning Du Qingmu to the capital, thus finalizing the selection of the second person to go to the ancient Heavenly Court ruins.
As for the third candidate, Lin Fei hesitated for a long time and did not make a decision.
In Lin Fei's mind, the best person to enter the ancient Heavenly Court ruins with him this time should be a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, or someone who can contend with a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.
If one does not possess the ability to contend with a Celestial Master, entering the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court is tantamount to courting death.
More importantly, without the ability to contend with a Celestial Master, entering the ancient Heavenly Court ruins would likely make one a "pushover" in the eyes of others, not only unable to offer any help but also potentially attracting unnecessary trouble due to insufficient strength.
Although the Southern Tang Kingdom has a vast territory, many of its experts have joined various sects. Masters like Du Qingmu, who have established their own aristocratic families, are truly rare.
Therefore, more than half a month has passed, and the time for the first entry into the ancient Heavenly Court ruins is approaching, but Lin Fei still has not decided on the third person.
……
Having received the imperial decree summoning him, Du Qingmu had already arrived in the capital. On this day, he visited Lin Fei in the imperial study: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Has the third candidate still not been decided?"
Lin Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly: "How can this third candidate be decided so easily? Elder Du is not unaware that this time, when entering the ancient Heavenly Court ruins, all the sects will probably send out their best experts, and even the Grandmasters of Heaven and Man will personally enter. If you don't have enough strength, then you are just courting death."
Du Qingmu nodded. He also understood that without sufficient strength, entering the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court would be tantamount to courting death.
Just as Du Qingmu was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from outside say, "Luckily I didn't come back too late, otherwise I would have missed this grand event."
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Fei immediately stood up from his chair, his expression one of extreme excitement.
Du Qingmu was slightly taken aback when he heard this voice, and then smiled bitterly, "Originally, I had another candidate to recommend to His Majesty, but now it seems that there is no need for it."
Du Qingmu recognized the voice coming from outside, and Lin Fei was also very familiar with it—it was the voice of his master, Yuan Yi!
Unexpectedly, Yuanyi returned at this crucial moment!
Yuan Yi pushed open the door to the Imperial Study and walked in from outside. Looking at Lin Fei, he chuckled and said, "I heard that all the major sects in the world are going to the ruins of the ancient Heavenly Court together. I wonder if I could be included as one of them?"
Even Du Qingmu had to announce his arrival before entering Lin Fei's imperial study. In the entire world, perhaps only Yuan Yi could freely enter and leave Lin Fei's imperial study.
This was a privilege granted to Yuanyi by Lin Fei, because he was not only Lin Fei's master, but also Lin Fei's blood uncle, and the relationship between the two was self-evident.
Yuan Yi, however, looked quite different from before. Every gesture he made exuded an air of otherworldly elegance. He seemed like a towering tree, radiating vitality.
The technique cultivated by Yuan Yi is the supreme method of the Jade Emperor Sect—the Taiyi Salvation Body, also known as the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique.
Now, judging from the vibrant life force emanating from Yuan Yi's every move, his Azure Emperor Longevity Technique has already reached its peak.
