Chapter 393: Teleportation Array
Since the other party has recognized my identity, everything is easy to discuss, no need to waste words.
The only thing that surprised Li Quanqing was the formidable intelligence-gathering capabilities of the Longevity Dao.
They had records of the Five Domains Immortal Cultivation World, detailing those prominent True Monarchs and Great Cultivators, and perhaps even many seclusive Nascent Soul old monsters, with their appearances, personalities, and family backgrounds.
"Is Senior Hanhai visiting the Divine Land this time for travel and cultivation?"
Liu Ang maintained a respectful attitude, inviting the Nascent Soul True Monarch to the Guest Hall, while recalling all the intelligence he had on True Monarch Hanhai.
A Heavenly Talented Cultivator from the East Sea Immortal World, who has risen to prominence in recent years, hailing from an Immortal Cultivation Family, relatively young, rumored to have the potential for Divinity Transformation.
Furthermore, he had close ties with the East Sea overlord, the "Four Seas Sect," and was on friendly terms with a significant figure in the Longevity Dao, hence the cautious reception.
"I came at the invitation of Senior Brother Zhao Qian to visit the Immortal Dynasty, but unfortunately, after coming ashore, I got a bit disoriented and ended up finding your place."
Li Quanqing observed the once dormant Qingshui Immortal Government bustling with activity due to his arrival, which was the weight and status of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"So it's Grandmaster Zhao..."
Liu Ang became even more respectful, as this figure was a rising star within the Immortal Dynasty, serving as a First Grade official and leading cultivators under his command on expeditions to explore the heavens.
The core cultivators of the Longevity Dao truly participated in these explorations of the heavens, which, despite the great danger, brought abundant rewards.
Like those in Liu Ang's position, serving as County Magistrates in various places, were considered mediocre talents, having little room for growth and merely seeking a peaceful life.
"I've already informed Senior Brother Zhao, so there's no need for you to worry too much, being disturbed in the middle of the night was just to greet you."
Li Quanqing sat at the head seat, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, with the Communication Jade Pendant in his palm flashing, indicating that he had notified Zhao Qian of his location.
Liu Ang also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that interacting with such a figure might bring great opportunity, but modesty and tranquility were the true path.
"Oh, interesting..."
As Li Quanqing awaited responses, his eyebrow suddenly raised, noticing something intriguing.
It appeared that within the Qingshui Immortal Government, some high-ranking officials were scheming for their families' future.
They were secretly plotting, summoning several charming young girls from the academy late at night, bringing them here.
For the small Qingshui County, his arrival was akin to a heavenly Flood Dragon descending to the mortal world, causing all to submit, tough to match.
If any of them were favored by the Nascent Soul True Monarch, taken as concubines or disciples, it would undoubtedly be a leap to the top for their families.
Sadly, they couldn't imagine the majesty of a Great Cultivator, and all their careful plans were heard clearly by Li Quanqing.
"These scoundrels!"
Liu Ang was also quite upset, quickly noticing the actions of these officials.
If it was through proper means, it would be one thing, but there were those with ill intent attempting to deploy tactics unworthy of the name, potentially bringing disaster to the entire Qingshui County.
In the end, their cultivation and vision were still too low, having had no exposure to a Nascent Soul level and understanding too little, leading to baseless speculation.
"I will personally handle it, if it disturbed the serenity of the senior, it is entirely my fault."
Liu Ang, though angry, felt equally helpless.
Although he was the County Magistrate, a Sixth Grade Immortal Official, these officials had connections with the local Foundation Establishment Clans in Qingshui County, who had family members working in the Immortal Government for generations.
Some had connections in the court, or benefited from the legacies of past cultivators, feeling emboldened.
After all, cultivators live for far too long, and a casual bond can sustain over dozens of generations.
Li Quanqing didn't feel offended, finding it rather amusing, witnessing a sort of political intrigue, lacking in the detached and aloof demeanor of a cultivator.
"This can be considered a form of tempering, training one's heart in the mundane world, forging a determined heart toward the Tao, offering hopes of longevity..."
He perceived some subtleties.
Some distance themselves from the secular world, living in solitude on a mountain, carefree and content, relying on the nature between heaven and earth.
Some hunt demons and demons, breaking through limits in the face of life and death, comprehending a Sword Heart from the act of slaughter.
These are merely means to seek the Tao, with differing paths ultimately leading to the same goal.
Suddenly, the jade pendant hummed with Zhao Qian's reply, already dispatching the closest Golden Core Cultivator to pick him up.
"The County Governor of East Sea, a Golden Core True Master, Lord of Immortal City..."
Li Quanqing glanced at the busy county magistrate of Qingshui and no longer disturbed him. His figure transformed into a ripple of water, vanishing from the hall, disappearing swiftly.
He stepped through the air, walking on clouds, with the Gang Wind howling, his robe fluttering like an Immortal riding the wind.
Dawn broke, the journey calmly consuming the whole night, the moon setting in the west, leaving only a few dim stars.
Just now within the Immortal Government, Li Quanqing had figured out the rough position of the East Sea County City, now each step covered a thousand miles effortlessly.
In an instant, the vast landscapes flew by his feet, and before him stood a grand Immortal City, situated by a great river, the turbid waves crashing directly into the East Sea.
"Is this the County Governor of East Sea?"
Li Quanqing gazed downward, witnessing a rotund middle-aged cultivator for the first time.
Riding a cloud, hastily soaring into the sky, followed by a colorful retinue stretching nearly a hundred miles, appearing quite grand.
"Indeed, rather bureaucratic..."
Li Quanqing chuckled, waving his sleeve lightly, causing the sky to spin and transporting this Golden Core Cultivator onto the clouds before him.
"This... Greetings to Senior Hanhai!"
The County Governor of East Sea, having a cultivation of Golden Core Perfection, considering his important position by the East Sea shore.
Unfortunately, his mana was superficial, having consumed many elixirs, vastly different from the elite cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty, merely smooth-talking and clever.
Yet, he was suitable as material for cultivating the Longevity Dao, in the future, entrusting his True Soul to a magical treasure, discarding the bloated mana wouldn't be regrettable.
"Has Senior Brother Zhao already instructed you?"
Li Quanqing looked at him, his manner quite amiable, not imposing much pressure.
"Following the True Monarch's decree, the senior has already instructed to activate the Transmission Array to send you to Changchun Immortal City, where he awaits..."
The County Governor of East Sea showed a flattering smile, squinting his eyes, revealing a hint of sycophancy.
"Transmission Array... Changchun Immortal City..."
Hearing the name of this Immortal City, Li Quanqing immediately thought of his friend Li Changqing, who now might be facing the Nascent Soul barrier as well.
They descended from the clouds, reaching the deepest part of East Sea County City, witnessing a silver-white Array. As it activated, it transformed into a vortex, gently spinning.
