"Uncle Qingzheng, when did you come here?"

Xu Qing looked at the serious and stern figure and couldn't help but ask.

"Actually, I have been following you since you set out." Elder Qingzheng said with a smile.

The disciples who are able to obtain the opportunity to enter the Dragon Palace are all good talents in the temple and the future of the sect.

This concerns the sect's future and the ritual vessel that can break the seal on the sect's altar. How could he possibly let his disciples take care of it alone?

Even though this is the disciple he most favors and the one most likely to inherit his mantle.

"Master, who is the sixth realm master who made the move?" asked Senior Brother Jingxin.

"A sixth-level water descendant." Elder Qingzheng's eyes were cold. "A demon king hiding in the dark and bullying the younger generation is really shameless."

This statement came out.

There was a muffled rumbling sound coming from the bottom of the sea.

"I am a monster. I don't follow your human ways. I follow the law of the jungle. What's wrong with my younger generations? I will eat up the useful ones."

"Hmph." Elder Qingzheng flicked his long sleeves.

The vital energy in the body surged, and a bright green light gradually emerged from beneath the sea.

For a moment, there were truly blue waves surging and green tides rolling.

"You old bastard! Do you really want to fight to the death?!" A rumbling sound of shame and anger came from the bottom of the sea.

"Just you?"

Elder Qingzheng had a calm expression, as if he didn't take the other party seriously.

He does have the confidence.

The sixth-level water creature at the bottom of the sea didn't even force him to use his magic talisman, so what qualifications did it have to fight him to the death and perish together?

The divine light of order flashed between Elder Qingzheng's eyebrows, and gradually a complex pattern was drawn.

It is the "Taishang Zhengyi Kaoshao Lu" which has been advanced three times to the "Chishe Baozhang Sanguan Fuhuazhen Lu"!
The Three Officials are the Three Great Emperors of Heaven, Earth and Water, who are in charge of assessing the merits and demerits of all the gods, immortals and spirits in heaven and earth.

The effect of this blessing is similar to "words come true".

Especially in terms of precepts, bans, etc., it is very effective.

When the aura of the magic talisman is revealed and spreads outwards.

The water demon that was entangled with the carved green Ruyi at the bottom of the sea showed a look of fear, and immediately burst out with powerful demonic power to shock the carved green Ruyi away, and then used his innate water escape magic to retreat quickly.

Elder Qingzheng did not pursue the matter relentlessly.

He waved his hand, and the carved green Ruyi broke through the water and fell back into his palm.

"Let's go. He's just a guy who is not presentable." Elder Qingzheng threw out the carved green Ruyi.

The carved green Ruyi balloon swelled in the wind, holding up the white cloud carrying everyone, and with a "whoosh" it turned into a green light and shot out.

It would have taken half a day to get back to Yuanfu Temple from the estuary, but with Elder Qingzheng Lu Ruyi leading them, they were back to the temple in just a cup of tea.

Others went to report to the Deacon Hall after returning to the temple.

Every disciple who enters the Dragon Palace must hand over a small portion of the treasures they obtain to the temple.

Xu Qingze was taken directly to the meeting hall in the temple.

At this time, all the elders in the meeting hall, as well as talented disciples such as Senior Brother Jingxin and Second Senior Sister Jingqing gathered together.

Xu Qing also saw Elder Qingning and Elder Jingyan who had been recuperating from their injuries.

"Junior brother Jingdu, please take out the ritual vessel from the previous dynasty." Elder Qingzheng responded solemnly.

"Yes."

Xu Qing took out the Hu Tian Fu.

After he was promoted to the fourth realm, he re-drew a blue Hu Tian Fu.

The space inside the talisman is much larger, and can accommodate some living things for a short period of time.

Xu Qing slapped the Hu Tian Fu, and a light flashed on it. A long sword wrapped in black energy suddenly appeared in the meeting hall.

The moment the long sword appeared, the formation of the entire conference hall emerged, flashing bright light, isolating the inside and the outside, preventing the Great Sheng National Destiny from being aware of the existence of the previous national destiny.

"Yes, this sword does contain the destiny of the previous dynasty."

Elder Qingzheng waved his hand, and a wisp of the black energy wrapped around the sword peeled off and fell into his palm.

Normally, a country's fortune will disappear with the collapse of a dynasty, just like a tree without roots, but the creation of heaven and earth is so magical that sometimes things that should have dissipated can be preserved by chance.

In general, a country's fortune will present a brilliant golden color.

However, the previous dynasty had already collapsed, and under the influence of the calamity, even if it was lucky enough to survive, it would not be able to maintain all the characteristics of the country's destiny.

"This sword contains a lot of national fortune from the previous dynasty. It should be able to tear a hole in the Great Sheng Taizu's seal, and even cause the imperial edict to voluntarily give up the seal of the clan altar and turn to this sword."

The previous dynasty and the current dynasty are incompatible.

The emergence of the previous dynasty's national fortune will inevitably lead to an upheaval in the current dynasty's national fortune.

With this sword in hand, Elder Qingzheng did not believe that the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu of Da Sheng would not produce any unusual effects.

"Using the sword of the previous dynasty to execute the imperial edict of today is unheard of." Senior Sister Jingqing said with a smile.

“It is truly unheard of and unseen.”

“Today really opened our eyes.”

The other elders in the hall also felt better because the sect altar might be unsealed.

Elder Qingzheng put away his sword and turned his gaze towards Xu Qing:
"Jingdu, my brother-in-law, this time I broke the seal on the sect's altar, I will credit you with your contribution."

Xu Qing did not dare to be too casual in front of the elders, and immediately bowed respectfully:
"This is the disciple's duty as a member of the temple, and it is not something that should be taken credit for."

Elder Qingzheng shook his head:

"A merit is a merit, and a punishment is a punishment."

"Only by clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments can a sect survive in a stable and long-term manner."

"The relevant rewards will be determined later. Now, all the elders, please get ready. We are going to break the seal on the sect altar!"

"Yes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the elders took the order seriously.

Elder Qingning and Elder Jingyan were so excited that they could not express it in words.

After all, the crisis in the sect was caused by the two of them, so they are the ones who should bear the greatest responsibility.

The elders, led by Elder Qingzheng, quickly left to make relevant arrangements.

To break the seal on the ancestral altar by Taizu of the Great Sheng Dynasty, it is not enough to just chop it with the sword of the previous dynasty. It requires a lot of preparation.

Fortunately, all these preparations had been made long ago, and we were just waiting for the help of the "ritual vessels of the previous dynasty".

Now that the east wind has arrived, we just need to start preparing for everything.

"Senior Sister, why would the ritual vessel containing the destiny of the previous dynasty appear in the Dragon Palace?" After the elders left, Xu Qing asked about the question that had always puzzled him.

The Dragon Palace disappeared in ancient times.

If we count back to the origin of the previous dynasty, it is only a few thousand years ago, so why would things from thousands of years ago appear in the Dragon Palace that disappeared in ancient times?

"This is related to the Second Emperor of Dasheng." Senior Sister Jingqing explained: "You should know that the original Second Emperor was the grandson of Taizu, not the current Second Ancestor."

Xu Qing nodded. He naturally knew this.

"It is rumored that the Second Emperor lost the battle for the throne with the Second Ancestor, and later he got the secret method of summoning the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas from somewhere, and traveled to other small worlds through the Dragon Palace."

"That's why the long sword containing the destiny of the previous dynasty remained in the Dragon Palace." "What's the origin of that long sword?" Xu Qing asked.

"As far as I know," Senior Sister Jingqing said in a deep voice, "When the Second Emperor was defeated, he accidentally got a treasure from the previous dynasty when he was desperate, and made it into a long sword."

"That long sword contains the destiny of the previous dynasty, and is naturally targeted at the Zhu family."

"If the Second Emperor had held the sword, he could have killed the Second Ancestor, but for some reason, the Second Emperor chose to give up in the end and left with the sword."

"I originally thought that this sword had left this world along with the Second Emperor and reached another small world."

“I didn’t expect that the Second Emperor would leave it in the Dragon Palace.”

"Why did the Second Emperor choose to give up on killing the Second Ancestor with the sword in the end?" Xu Qing always felt that the timing of the Second Emperor obtaining the treasures of the previous dynasty was too strange and too clever.

"Rumor has it that the sword can kill Zhu's family, but it will also have a huge impact on the country's destiny."

"At that time, the Second Ancestor had already gathered most of the dragon veins and earth energy in himself, and was considered an emperor who had been recognized by the dragon veins."

"If the Second Emperor had used the sword that contained the destiny of the previous dynasty to kill the Second Ancestor, I'm afraid the dragon vein would have been cut in half."

“Even if the Second Emperor regains the throne, the entire Great Sheng will fall apart, and the kings will split the country.”

"The Second Emperor didn't want to see that scene, so he finally gave up and fled to other small worlds with his sword."

Xu Qing stroked his chin and fell into thought.

The leading real dragon in the secret realm of the Dragon Palace assessment still had a bit of intelligence, and he was unaware that the Dragon Palace was encountering unprecedented enemies.

Because when the original body left the corresponding portrait in "A Hundred Dragons Picture", the Dragon Palace still looked extremely prosperous, but he didn't know what happened after that.

But for this sword that contains the destiny of the previous dynasty,

The leading real dragon once said that a man deliberately left it in the secret realm for the assessment.

Could it be that the man was the Second Emperor?

But when he thought about it, Xu Qing felt something was wrong.

Since this sword that contains the destiny of the previous dynasty has the potential to cause the disintegration of Dasheng, why did the Second Emperor, who would rather give up the throne than see anything happen to Dasheng, leave this sword in the Dragon Palace?
Xu Qing was confused and couldn't figure out what the coiled joints were inside.

It seemed that there were many more secrets hidden in the Dragon Palace than he knew.

Senior Sister Jingqing slapped Xu Qing on the shoulder, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

"Just a little doubt." Xu Qing told his senior sister about his doubts.

Senior Sister Jingqing is his senior sister from the same lineage, and if he doesn’t trust her, no one will believe him.

"Don't think too much about this." Senior Sister Jingqing shook her head. "It's been so long, who knows what the Second Emperor was thinking."

"And if he hadn't left this sword, it would have been a lot more trouble for us to break the seal on the sect altar."

"Didn't the court say anything?" Xu Qing was curious if the court would compensate the temple.

After all, the one that sealed the ancestral altar was one of the three blank imperial edicts left by the Great Sheng Emperor. Each of them was a treasure of the national level that could only be used by the emperor.

This is equivalent to the emperor of Dasheng taking action against Yuanfu Temple.

"You've killed the emperor, what else do you want the court to say?" Senior Sister Jingqing said with a smile: "The court is now in chaos, with no leader, and a large number of officials and nobles have been implicated. They don't know how to deal with it."

"The throne cannot remain vacant for too long, but who will take the throne is a huge problem and will inevitably lead to various power struggles."

“If the Dragon Palace had not just come into being, it might have contained some kind of opportunity for people to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven, attracting the attention of the top people from other forces.”

"Otherwise, Dasheng might be in danger today."

After thinking about it, Xu Qing also felt the court's dilemma.

Yuanfu Temple had reason to ask the court to lift the seal on the ancestral altar imposed by the imperial decree of Emperor Taizu of Dasheng.

But if we make demands to the court at this time, it would be tantamount to punching the court, which is already seriously ill.

"The temple can solve the problem by itself without bothering the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court will also remember the grievances and contributions of our Yuanfu Temple."

"When all the mess is sorted out, we will be compensated."

Xu Qing nodded, that's right.

While Xu Qing and Senior Sister Jingqing were chatting.

The corresponding arrangements in the main hall of the ancestral hall have been initiated.

A large formation to seal the sky and lock the earth was set up around the main hall of the ancestral temple to prevent the strange phenomena caused by the collision between the fortunes of the previous dynasty and the current dynasty from leaking out.

Each node of the formation is presided over by the elders of the sect, and it is expected that no matter how big the vision is, it will not be able to break through.

At this time, in the formation.

There are only two people, Elder Qingzheng and Elder Jingyan.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"it is good!"

The words fell.

Elder Qingzheng held the long sword wrapped in black energy and slashed at the imperial edict floating above the sect altar.

The moment when the black destiny of the previous dynasty touched the imperial edict.

The imperial edict that had been quietly floating above the sect altar suddenly trembled violently. With a "swish", the golden light that enveloped the sect altar was torn into a huge hole by the black sword energy.

"Junior Brother Jingyan!" Elder Qingzheng shouted.

Upon receiving the order, Elder Jingyan immediately activated the "Edicted Donghua Jingwei Chengzhang Treasure Scroll" in his body, which was advanced from the "Du Zhangbi Yinlu".

The Dharma talisman is immediately connected to the clan altar.

The runes on the sect altar flickered with difficulty, and the shadows of the ancestors of the past generations gradually emerged, joining forces to attack the imperial edict from above.

If things go as planned, even if both inside and outsiders take action together, it will not be easy to break the seal of the imperial edict.

After all, this is the imperial edict left by Taizu of Da Sheng, the founder of the country.

But there was almost no hindrance, and the imperial edict was able to escape from the seal under the attack of the ancestors of all generations.

He rushed quickly towards Elder Qingzheng who was holding a long sword.

"careful!"

Elder Jingyan issued a warning.

Elder Qingzheng was not afraid at all. The magic talisman jumped out from his head, and the runes twisted like dragons and snakes formed chains, trying to trap the imperial edict.

On the other side, the seal on the sect altar was lifted.

A brilliant divine light rose from the sect altar and shot straight into the sky. Countless runes danced up and down, left and right in the sky-high column of light.

The great heaven-sealing and earth-locking formation outside the sect's main hall immediately started to operate, covering up the strange phenomenon of the sect's altar bursting open.

But when there are changes in the sect altar.

All the disciples who had received Dharma ordination at the sect’s altar felt something in their hearts.

Xu Qing murmured, "What is this? The sect altar has been unsealed."

"That's right, the sect altar has been unsealed." Senior Sister Jingqing nodded affirmatively.

But at this moment.

Xu Qing's eyes lit up with golden flames, and he turned his head to look towards the main hall of the sect. (End of this chapter)
