Xuantian Dragon Zun

The Vientiane Palace is all square!

Within the palace wall, which is nearly a hundred miles long and wide, there are endless magnificent palaces. The interior is divided into four parts, where different magic arrays are arranged throughout the year.

In other words, there is a scene of the four seasons alternating throughout the year inside the Vientiane Palace, which represents the beautiful vision of the Vientiane Empire being evergreen all year round. This is also the vision of many countries and forces in the Jiuyang World.

There is not really only one scorching summer in the Jiuyang world. Every epoch, that is, millions of years, there will be four seasons that alternate throughout the year.

Every year when that year comes, the nine suns in the sky will gather in the same area. The area visited by the nine suns at the same time is like a world-destroying furnace. Otherwise, the weather will enter the other three seasons.

Logically speaking, people in the Nine Suns world cannot survive the year when the world is destroyed in each era.

But this is a world of cultivation after all. Similar to the super-large heat-insulating array that covers human settlements, it can protect the civilization here from being truly destroyed!

In the Jiuyang World, many forces have built shelters that can insulate each other, but they cannot completely protect the entire Jiuyang World.

As a result, at the end of each era, a large number of plants, animals, etc. living outside the sanctuary will continue to die.

An epoch year lasts for millions of years, and all things in the world can always reproduce and regenerate over a long period of time.

But often when the entire Jiuyang world finally recovers and reaches its most prosperous and prosperous period, a new round of Jiuyang's destruction will come as scheduled.

All in all, people in this world attach great importance to the climate changes throughout the year.

People are very eager to reduce the number of nine suns in the sky, and hope that the world can enter a perfect state of evergreen all year round.

On the way to the Vientiane Palace, Du Long also obtained these well-known 'secrets' from Eunuch Li through indirections!

In his heart, he vaguely guessed the meaning of Arrow King Houpi asking him to come here. Maybe he wanted him to help the world escape the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible? ! Or could it be that this place itself is a place of testing and trial? !

"Can I take the liberty to ask...among the ancestors of your Wanxiang royal family, is there a person named Hou Pi?!" Perhaps because of the good relationship with Eunuch Li, Du Long finally couldn't help but This question was raised.

"Hou Pi?!" Eunuch Li frowned and pondered, then looked at Hou Jian, who was also confused, and then shook his head and said: "In the endless years of the royal family, there may be a disciple named Hou Pi. But among all the royal families, His Majesty the Late Emperor... there is no such name!"

"Hmm!" Du Long just asked casually and didn't seem to take the answer too seriously: "I only saw the name Hou Pi in an ancient book. Maybe he was just a little-known monk. Bar!"

Seeing that Du Long didn't seem to want to continue on this issue, Eunuch Li, who was very good at judging people, naturally stopped pestering him, and the Vientiane Palace was just around the corner.

He led Du Long to land outside the gate of the Vientiane Palace. After explaining to the guards at the gate, he took Du Long and Hou Jian into the Vientiane Palace and rushed towards the main hall of the palace.

The Wanxiang Palace, which is hundreds of miles long and wide, is not very large in terms of area. It is probably not even comparable to Du Long's home, Prince Du's Mansion.

The three of them soon arrived at the main hall of the palace and saw Emperor Hou Xuan. He was the only one sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall of the palace, obviously waiting for their arrival.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

While Du Long was casually looking at the emperor on the dragon throne, Hou Jian bowed and saluted, but did not kneel to the ground.

Emperor Hou Xuan, who was also looking at Du Long curiously, his face darkened slightly, turned to look at Hou Jian with a slight displeasure and said, "Is this how you call your father?!"

Du Long turned around out of curiosity and saw Hou Jian leisurely maintaining the posture of bowing and saluting, but had no intention of answering Emperor Hou Xuan.

From his slightly unyielding eyes, it can be seen that this guy should be somewhat dissatisfied with his father. This dissatisfaction is directly reflected in his unwillingness to even say the word "father".

"Ahem!" With an outsider like Du Long present, Emperor Hou Xuan obviously didn't want to have an attack on the spot, and immediately coughed twice and said: "Jian'er! Your mother-in-law has been promoted to a noble concubine and moved into the West Palace. Father knows that these years You have some resentment in your heart, but as a member of the Wanxiang Royal Family, you have to bear all this!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hou Jian saluted again, and his originally harsh tone softened a lot.

Emperor Hou Xuan nodded slightly, as if he had no intention of asking him to change his title immediately in front of Du Long. Instead, he turned to look at the casual Du Long again.

"Are you Du Long, the challenger who just defeated Jian'er?!"

"That's right! Du Long has met His Majesty the Emperor Wanxiang!" Du Long bowed slightly and cupped his hands as a sign of courtesy. His gesture was obviously rude.

Hou Xuan's face condensed slightly. He had just been pushed by his own son, and the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated. How dare this kid who appeared out of nowhere dare to be so rude? !

But he did not have an attack in the end. The magnanimity shown by Du Long was definitely not that of an unknown person. Before he knew which force was behind him, he definitely could not easily turn against him.

After all, the Vientiane Empire is facing internal and external troubles at the moment, and it is not wise to easily offend any force.

"Hmm!" After suppressing the anger in his heart, Emperor Hou Xuan said calmly: "I wonder which immortal sect this young immortal comes from?! Is this the first time he comes to the capital of Wanxiang?!"

"I have no sect!" Du Long said with a faint smile: "This is indeed the first time I have come to the capital of Vientiane. Not long after I arrived, I had a fight with His Highness Prince Arrow, and then I was invited here!"

Du Long's expression was calm and calm, and he was able to maintain a neither arrogant nor humble attitude when facing the emperor of a country. This also deepened Emperor Hou Xuan's speculation about the identity and power behind him.

"I wonder why Du Shaoxian came to the capital of Wanxiang Kingdom this time?! If you need help, I am willing to provide you with some help within my ability!" Emperor Hou Xuan pondered for a while, and then expressed his kindness again.

"Haha!" Du Long shook his head and chuckled: "To be honest, the main purpose of my trip to the capital of Wanxiang Kingdom is to work hard to improve my cultivation in the art of archery. The Wanxiang Empire is indeed worthy of being known as the art of archery." The inheritance of this country is famous all over the world, and not long after I arrived, I broke through and reached the realm of Arrow Immortal!"

Having said this, he looked at Hou Jian beside him with a smile, and said with no trace of gratitude in his eyes: "For this... I have to thank His Highness Hou Jian, otherwise I might not be able to break through to the Arrow Immortal realm so quickly! "

"You don't have to thank me!" Hou Jian said angrily: "It is with your help that I broke through and reached the realm of Arrow Immortal. We don't owe each other anything!"

"No!" Before Du Long could speak, Emperor Hou Xuan on the dragon throne shook his head and interjected: "Besides this, Jian'er should also thank Du Shaoxian for not killing him!"

"Hmph!" Hou Jian actually snorted very ungratefully: "I have no intention of asking him to show mercy!"

"Haha!" Du Long saw Emperor Hou Xuan's ugly face, and immediately waved his hands and said with a chuckle: "What His Highness Arrow said is true. I am also impressed by His Highness's proud demeanor, and there is no need for His Highness to bear the burden of this." The burden of killing.”

"Let's not talk about this matter for the time being!" Emperor Hou Xuan didn't seem to want to get entangled with this issue, and immediately returned to the topic: "Since Du Shaoxian is so interested in archery, why shouldn't he enlist the help of the Wanxiang Empire? Then he can get it Where is the inheritance of Wanxiang Archery?!"

"There is no problem in helping the Wanxiang Empire!" Du Long replied thoughtfully: "I'm just free to roam around, but I can't stand the various restrictions of the Wanxiang Empire..."

"There won't be too many restrictions!" Emperor Hou Xuan immediately explained: "You only need to swear to never be an enemy of our Vientiane Empire, and be willing to contribute appropriately in this crisis of the Vientiane Empire. As long as If the crisis in the Vientiane Empire can be resolved, you can regain your freedom!"

"Oh?!" Du Long raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting that the other party would give him such convenience: "Well... I am just a monk who has just broken through and reached the Arrow Immortal. Why would Your Majesty..."

"Haha!" A faint smile finally appeared on the corner of Emperor Hou Xuan's lips, he sat up slightly and said: "The Wanxiang Empire is in crisis, one more friend is better than one more enemy, right?!"

"As long as Du Shaoxian is willing to help the Wanxiang Empire during this period, he can directly move into the villa next to the Elephant God Mountain and gain the power to comprehend the Wanxiang Archery Technique together with the disciples of the Immortal Sect who come to help from all sides!"

"So simple?!" Du Long said in astonishment, "All I need to do is make a soul oath?!"

"That's right!" Emperor Hou Xuan nodded heavily.

"Okay!" Du Long stopped talking nonsense and immediately raised his hand to the sky and began to swear a soul oath: "I am willing to swear on my soul that I will never take the initiative to become an enemy of the Wanxiang Empire. At the same time, the conflict between the Wanxiang Empire and the Hugang Empire Before the war is over, we will definitely give the Wanxiang Empire whatever help we can!"

"Very good!" When Emperor Hou Xuan saw Du Long making a soul oath so simply, he immediately slapped his thigh with some excitement and said: "Eunuch Li! Immediately arrange for someone to take Du Shaoxian to Juxian Garden. I still want to follow Jian'er Let’s talk!”

"Yes!" Eunuch Li bowed respectfully, then turned around and looked at Du Long with a big smile: "Du Shaoxian, please go with me!"

In the main hall, the father and son watched Eunuch Li take Du Long out of the hall, and then they looked back at each other.

"Why would your Majesty be so courteous to a mere Arrow Immortal?! Before knowing the other person's true identity..." Hou Jian couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Hou Xuan waved his hand and interrupted: "It's very simple! If he is willing to swear a soul oath, then everything else will not be a problem. The most important thing is that this son is definitely not Chi. The thing in the middle, my father is also showing favor to the forces behind him by doing this!"

"There is one more question!" Hou Jian nodded slightly, and immediately changed the subject: "Has our Wanxiang Empire really reached its most dangerous moment?! We actually took out the Wanxiang Archery inheritance from Xiangshen Mountain... All parties share the power?!”

"It has indeed reached a very critical moment!" Emperor Hou Xuan sighed softly: "As for the inheritance of all things archery, it is naturally impossible to share the core parts. As for the other... Even if all the forces can see it, the core parts cannot be shared. So what if it comes?!”

"The art of archery is unpredictable. Our royal family's talents have withered over the years. Is it just because the children of the royal family are not talented enough?!"

Hou Jian raised his eyebrows slightly. As a member of the royal family, he also had a certain understanding of this. He knew that it was because the inheritance of the Wanxiang Archery Technique was too abstract and difficult to understand, which led to the weakening of the entire Wanxiang Royal Family over the years.

"Alas! I don't know which year it started... The way of heaven in the Jiuyang world has changed, and it seems that it is becoming more and more difficult to practice archery?!" Just as Hou Jian's mind was spinning, Emperor Hou Xuan seemed to He whispered again as if he was talking to himself.

"Actually, the purpose of inviting immortal-level experts from all forces to come here is to use them to verify this issue. We hope to find an eternal mystery that has troubled our Wanxiang royal family for many years!"

"Okay! Jian'er, you can go to the West Palace to see your mother and concubine. When you have time, you can go to the Elephant God Mountain for a walk. I hope you can make good friends with the disciples of the immortal sects from all over the world, and at worst, you can't offend them. Kill them!"

"yes!"

Hou Jian bowed respectfully, then turned around and left the main hall, heading toward the West Palace in an anxious mood.

The reunion of mother and son in the West Palace will not be mentioned for the time being. It is said that Du Long, led by a guard arranged by Eunuch Li, quickly arrived at the Juxian Garden next to the Xiangshen Mountain in the central area of ​​the Vientiane Palace.

You can see people flying back and forth from time to time between Xiangshen Mountain and Juxian Garden. As a result, the entire Juxian Garden becomes ethereal, like a fairyland in the inner garden of the palace.

"Du Shaoxian! This is the courtyard arranged for you to stay temporarily. When Shaoxian lives here, please do not fly around the palace at will. At most, you can only fly back and forth between Juxian Garden and Xiangshen Mountain!"

"There are many maids in the inner courtyard of the palace. I also ask the young immortal not to step into other areas of the palace without invitation. If you have any needs, you can ask the maid in charge of this courtyard. No inconvenience will be caused. Forgive me!"

"Yes!" Du Long nodded slightly and said, "I understand! You can leave!"

After dismissing the guard who was leading the way, Du Long stepped into the courtyard where he temporarily lived. He was immediately greeted respectfully by two palace maids responsible for taking care of the courtyard.

After chatting with each other for a few words, Du Long asked the names of the two palace maids, and then he confessed and flew towards the Elephant God Mountain.

"Eh?! There's actually a new person living in the yard next door?!"

Not long after he flew out of the yard, a slightly surprised cry rang out. He turned around subconsciously and immediately saw the fairies in white he had seen on the street not long ago.

At that time, I had heard about this group of fairies in white clothes on the street. They were fairies from the Qingyu Immortal Palace near the capital of Vientiane. I didn't expect to meet them again so soon.
