C34 (1/2)

Within the imperial palace of the capital, the Emperor Zhao Yuan Zong sat atop a throne with numerous officials standing on either side of him.

With five years of time left since the last national Great Competition, it was time to start preparing for the next Great Competition.

After Zhao Yuanzong finished speaking, he swept his gaze across the officials, waiting for an answer.

At this time, an old man wearing a black robe stood in the right row. He was about sixty years old and his pair of deep eyes did not reveal any emotion.

Reporting to the king, this humble subject has an opinion that I do not know whether to say or not.

The black-robed old man did not speak directly, instead, he stood there leaning forward, as if hesitating for a moment. Seeing this, the country lord Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and said, ”State Grandmaster, please speak!”

Only then did the black-robed old man stand up and say, ”This humble subject believes that the Abyssal Lightning Secret Realm can be added to the smelting trial.”

Before the Imperial Lord, Zhao Yuan, could reply, a person leading them from the left stepped forward.

This person looked a bit strange. Although he looked the same as a person, there were black horns on his forehead that were half a finger long.

The Secret Realm of Deep Thunder is one of the secret realms left behind by the ancient times. In fact, it contains too many unstable factors. If something were to go wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It was very normal for there to be voices of opposition from the imperial court. However, the old man didn't seem to be angry at all as he looked towards the people who were opposing him.

What General Long Tu said isn't unreasonable, but you don't have to worry. I have already set up a great formation inside the Deep Thunder Secret Realm, dividing the Secret Realm into three areas. The parts used for the trial have been verified, and they aren't life-threatening!

The black-robed old man paused for a moment, then continued: ”Furthermore, the people who are participating in the Great Competition are the young talents with the best talent in my Heavenly Enlightenment Empire. If I can't even take on this tiny bit of danger, how will I be able to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting my Heavenly Enlightenment Empire from you and me in the future?

The moment those words were spoken, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. The man known as General Long Tu also did not say anything else and retreated back to his original spot.

Seeing that no one had any objections, the king, Zhao Yuan, drew up an edict with his brush!

It had already been half a month since the farce of the competition, and the heated discussions slowly died down. Maki Chen's life finally calmed down, and his daily routine was to refine pills, sell pills, and cultivate.

As for Blacky s, they were constantly being entranced by the Spiritual Herba pills and pills and could not be extricated from them. Now, they were so fat that they had already deformed, if not for their four limbs, Maki Chen would have suspected that he had raised a ball of meat.

Blacky, shouldn't you lose weight?

Maki Chen sat cross-legged in front of the desk, slanted his eyes, and looked at Blacky who was lying in front of the window, bathing in the sunlight, and ridiculed.

Boss, I'm fat because there is a lot of energy stored in my body. As I absorb it, it will slowly dissipate. You don't have to worry about that!

Finished speaking, the Blacky was still patting its round belly with a rhythmic rhythm, its entire face was filled with drowsiness.

Just as they were conversing, the door was suddenly pushed open, senior sister Xi Mengyao rushed in anxiously with an undisguised look of excitement.

Junior brother, there is good news, are you listening?!

Maki Chen actually wanted to shake his head. He knew that this senior sister of his would nag at him endlessly, but it wouldn't be good if he rejected her directly.

Xi Mengyao was not able to discern what Maki Chen was thinking, and excitedly said: ”Our Heavenly Enlightenment Empire that occurs every five years is about to begin, and after that, our Sect is preparing to hold a small selection competition three days from now, to select thirty disciples to participate in this time. Junior Brother, do you want to participate?

Maki Chen still wanted to say that he wasn't participating, so Xi Mengyao continued: ”This time, Great Competition is different from previous sessions. Not only did it increase the reward, it also added two years ago when the Deep Thunder Secret Realm was discovered into the trial!
