Chapter 5 Send them on their way

As soon as he woke up from the dream, Hong Zhan heard a noise outside the hall.

"Those group of immortal cultivators were doing what they were doing just now, they might hurt the emperor, I want to make sure the emperor is okay and let me in."

"No, no one is allowed to disturb the emperor during his retreat."

The two groups of people were confronting each other, and the shouting became louder and louder, and there was even a tense momentum.

Hong Zhan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine!"

The outside of the hall instantly became quiet, and then two groups of people said respectfully at the same time: "We have no intention of disturbing the emperor, and the emperor forgives me."

"You are all innocent, where is the guard of the immortal prison?" Hong Zhan asked.

"The minister is here!" A group of people outside the hall shouted.

"Lone Star and others, can they die?" Hong Zhan asked.

"I waited for the lone star to wake up after the sword stabbed the lone star, and I stopped killing them immediately, they were all alive, but they were all seriously injured." There was a report from outside the hall.

"The method of interrogating them into dreams does not allow them to fall asleep or enter meditation, and they must be kept awake at all times." Hong Zhan ordered.

"Yes!" There was a shout outside the hall.

"Others, continue to guard this hall." Hong Zhan ordered.

"Yes!" The guard outside the palace responded.

It was quiet outside the hall, and Hong Zhan looked at the incense burner not far away, and the incense inside had already burned out. Although he was fine, he was really dangerous just now. If he hadn't had soul power and made arrangements in advance, this time, I am afraid he would have been planted here.

"Hmph! When I leave the customs, I will clean you up." Hong Zhan said coldly.

He closed his eyes again, feeling himself, he had just broken through to the innate realm, he couldn't leave at all, he needed to use spiritual energy to refine his innate true qi, and he had to wash his body with innate true qi.

Under the luck, the spiritual energy that entered his body was refined into wisps of purple innate true qi, and the innate true qi poured into all parts of his body, nourishing every cell in his body. At this moment, it seems that his genes are undergoing transformation, and the cells are also evolving.

A trace of turbidity came out of his pores, and he sat for three days and three nights.

In the past three days, his body has undergone tremendous changes, the only remaining remaining teeth have been falling out, and then two new rows of teeth have grown, a large number of stains have appeared in the pores, and the skin is constantly cracking, and then molting.

He smelled the stench coming from his body, but he felt very comfortable now.

There were two pools prepared in advance next to him, and he opened his eyes and got up, stepped into one pool to wash his body.

During the washing, his skin cracked and fell off, and his hair, eyebrows, and beard continued to fall out, and his whole body seemed to have shed a shell.

He came out of the first pool, stepped into the other pool, and washed his body carefully before washing himself and walking out.

At this moment, the originally loose skin became white and resilient, the body became slender and strong, and the swollen muscles were as perfect as knives and axes, he walked to a mirror, but saw a handsome young man in his twenties, the young man's hair was all gone, but those pores were black, and it was obvious that it would not take long for new jet-black hair to grow.

"The innate realm, two hundred years of life, can you restore your youth? It's a great feeling of energy!" A look of satisfaction flashed in Hong Zhan's eyes.

Putting on the dragon robe, he slowly opened the door of the training hall.

For a while, countless lights gathered outside the hall, in addition to the guards of the main hall, there were also civil and military officials.

Although it was night, it was still brightly lit here. The hundred officials widened their eyes and showed incredulity.

Although they knew that the emperor was breaking through the shackles of mortals, once he reached the innate realm, he would be reborn and rejuvenated, but they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes.

Although the emperor seems to be a different person, the outline of the emperor's appearance is still there, is this what the emperor looked like when he was young?

"Why, don't you know me anymore?" Hong Zhan smiled.

Hong Zhan's voice has changed slightly, becoming younger and louder, but the overall sound is still Hong Zhan's tone.

The officials all showed great joy and bowed respectfully: "Congratulations to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The Daqing Dynasty did not have a crown prince, and the emperor was seventy years old, which was originally an unstable appearance, but now, the emperor has become an "immortal", what is there to be unstable? This is the appearance of thousands of autumns.

Hong Zhan glanced at the officials and said: "I can cultivate immortals, you can also cultivate immortals, do your own thing, and I will take you to live forever together."

He learned that in the continent where the immortal cultivators were located, there were not only immortal cultivation sects, but also immortal cultivation emperors. The emperor of the imperial dynasty led officials and the army to cultivate immortality together. The immortal cultivation emperor there was extremely powerful, they conquered the world, fought against the immortal gate, and fought for countless immortal cultivation resources in the world with the immortal cultivation army, so that the emperor could become more and more powerful.

In this way, he naturally wanted to follow suit.

"Yes, I will be Daqing, bow and do my best, and die until I die." The officials said excitedly.

Hong Zhan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go back and rest."

"Yes!" The officials responded.

Going back at this moment is not just about resting, Hong Zhan wants to publicize his success in cultivating immortality through the mouths of the hundred officials.

Although the ministers followed him to rebel against the immortals, and the official academy was also teaching the most advanced immortal cultivation techniques, he knew that there must be some officials who were still terrified.

Now, he is young and successful in his flood war, and he wants to take obedient officials to cultivate immortality together, at this time, who is still afraid? At this time, there is only endless anticipation, as long as you follow the emperor, you will have a chance to become an immortal.

Hong Zhan believes that after today, the cohesion of the Daqing Dynasty will reach its peak.

After arranging most of the officials, he walked towards the Immortal Prison surrounded by several officials.

"Tell me about the situation three days ago." Hong Zhan asked the officials beside him.

"Yes! Three days ago, a team of people was responsible for inspecting the five immortal cultivators and constantly asking them questions to ensure that they would not become demons. After a while, we didn't see a team of people patrolling according to the procedure, we quickly went to the five Immortal Prison Halls, but we saw all the personnel of the team standing motionless like wooden sculptures.

Except for Lone Xingzi, who was in a state of meditation, the other four immortal cultivators all had blue light in their eyes, looking directly into the eyes of a group of people, and later learned after interrogation that they were using soul power to shock the souls of a team of people. We made a quick decision and directly slashed the immortal cultivators with our swords." The official explained.

"The immortal cultivators are imprisoned in five halls separately, they can't be contacted, why do they act in unison?" Hong Zhan asked.

"More than half a year ago, before they were detained, Lone Star Zi secretly explained to the immortal cultivators that they could reveal everything when they were interrogated, but they had to hide the information of their soul power. Wait for him to radiate soul power as a signal to lead them to shoot at the same time." The official said.

Hong Zhan nodded clearly, and then asked: "What's going on with the dream?"

"This is a set of magic weapons, one dream talisman, six dream incense. The Dream Talisman had been hidden in Lone Star's body, and we couldn't find it at the time, and the six Dream Incense were the Concentration Incense that Lone Star Zi had explained. As long as you light the incense into the dream, the dream talisman will be inducted, as long as the distance is not far away, the dream talisman can be activated, so that the person who smells the incense can enter the dream with the person who urges the talisman." The official said.

"Why didn't he activate the Dream Talisman when I lit the Dream Incense a few times before?" Hong Zhan asked.

"Because it takes a lot of soul power to activate the dream talisman, Lone Star Zi alone does not have enough soul power, he can only pour all the soul power into it in multiple times, and after each time he runs out of soul power, he needs to cultivate for a period of time, so he missed the first few opportunities and was only able to open the dream this time." The official said.

Another official handed over a jade talisman in the shape of a mahjong and said, "Your Majesty, this is the dream talisman, according to the inquiry, it can only be used again."

Hong Zhan took it, but saw that there were a large number of extremely strange runes engraved on the jade talisman, and at the same time, there were five cracks on the jade talisman, which seemed to correspond to the five dream incense that had been burned out.

Hong Zhan put away the dream talisman, and walked with everyone to the center of a palace complex with a gloomy face, there were five halls here, each holding five immortal cultivators, he did not enter any of the halls, he just stood in the square and said, "Take them all out."

"Yes!" The officials responded.

Soon, the five immortal cultivators were taken to the square, they were bruised all over their bodies, obviously they had suffered countless severe punishments in the past few days.

As soon as the five immortal cultivators came out, they saw the younger Hong Zhan, and they all showed resentment.

"Hong Zhan, what do you want?" Lone Xingzi said coldly.

Hong Zhan said coldly: "I gave you a chance to live, but it seems that you don't cherish it at all, since you don't need it, then don't ask for it."

The faces of the immortal cultivators changed, they knew that if they failed to fight back this time, they would definitely be retaliated against by Hong Zhan, but they didn't expect Hong Zhan to do such a great job.

"You have just reached the innate realm, and you still need a lot of guidance for the subsequent practice, you can't kill us." Lone Xingzi panicked in his heart and hurriedly shouted.

"I have regained my youth, and I will fight for the next chance of immortality by myself, and I don't need your guidance." Hong Zhan said in a calm tone.

"No, our guidance can save you a lot of detours, and we also know many secrets from the outside world, which can allow you to quickly improve your cultivation." Lone Xingzi hurriedly said.

"No need, I don't want to fall in the same pit twice." Hong Zhan shook his head and said.

"We have no means to retaliate against you anymore, there is really none."

"If you dare to kill me, my sect will not let you go."

"Don't kill me, I will listen to you in the future."

……

All the immortal cultivators showed horror, constantly begging for mercy or threatening.

Hong Zhan's expression was cold, if he hadn't arranged it in advance, he would have been killed in his dream, and he would have fainted for a long time in reality, when the Great Green River was in turmoil, as long as this group of immortal cultivators rebelled, they might make him a prisoner at the bottom of the steps, who could guarantee that this group of immortal cultivators would have no other means? He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, let alone be soft-hearted.

Hong Zhan said coldly: "Send them on the road."

"Yes!" The officials responded.

They walked behind the immortal cultivators, pulled out the long swords that belonged to the immortal cultivators, and slashed them fiercely.

"No!" The immortal cultivators exclaimed.

With a bang, the heads of the five immortal cultivators flew out, and blood splattered everywhere.
