Chapter 769
769 New journey
Sir, we’ll be reaching the West River County in front. We can stay in the city tonight. These days, you’ve been patrolling the various counties of the Bing Province. You’re tired from traveling and you’ve worked hard, Huanhuan.
Seeing the city wall that could be vaguely seen more than ten miles ahead, the horse-riding attendants who followed Xia Pingan revealed a relaxed smile on their faces. At this moment, the sun had just set in the West. In another two hours, before dark, they could return to the city. When they reached the city, they could have hot tea, hot food, and warm their beds. It was much more comfortable than the bumpy road outside.
Xia ping ‘an was sitting in a carriage, wearing the governor’s official uniform. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a thick-bearded official of another family bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Among Xia ping ‘an’s troops, there were a few officials and over a hundred guards in bright armor. Everyone was riding on horses, looking majestic. They were not far from the city, and when the carriages and pedestrians along the way saw the governor’s carriage coming towards them, they quickly made way.
Xia ping ‘an was also looking at the city wall in the distance. Such a huge city was right in front of them, and there were smoke curling up from cooking fires on both sides of the road. There were many villages, which were already densely populated areas. Naturally, he knew that they were about to reach the city.
At this moment, in the realm Pearl’s world, his identity was the great Han Dynasty’s Bing Prefecture Governor, Guo min. He was a high-ranking official of the Imperial court and the highest official of a province. He had just returned after patrolling the provinces of Taiyuan, shangdou, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, shofang, Wuyuan, and so on.
More than half a month ago, Xia Pingan had just fused with this realm Pearl. At the beginning of the realm Pearl, he was also in a carriage. Just as he was about to enter the city in front of him with a group of attendants, hundreds of children, who were playing around on bamboo horses, suddenly ran out and greeted him on both sides of the road. It turned out that the children were very happy when they heard that Guo min had become the prefecture overseer of Bing Province and would be coming to patrol. So, they came to welcome him. When Xia Pingan left the city, the children sent him off again and asked him when he would come back. Xia ping ‘an told the other officials beside her to calculate the date and tell the children.
“What’s the date today?” Xia Pingan asked the historian beside the car.
“Milord, today is the 18th of may!”
Oh, May 18th. Okay, I got it. It seems that it’s one day earlier than our estimated return time.
“Yeah, it’s indeed a day early!” The official also recalled it at once and said with a smile, ” it’s just that your inspection of Bingzhou was exceptionally smooth this time. All the local governments, Yamen, vaults, and records have been prepared well. None of the prefectural governors dared to neglect it. In addition, we didn’t delay on the way, so we came back one day earlier!
alright, let the team find a nearby Inn to rest for the night. We’ll return to the city tomorrow morning! After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he didn’t need to explain anything and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
Ordinary people could never figure out the key to integrating with this realm Pearl. These days, Xia Pingan had been patrolling around Bingzhou and didn’t cause any trouble. He just took it as a trip back to this era and experiencing the local customs and practices. He was at ease. The real hurdle to integrate with this realm Pearl of divine power was today.
ah! the attendant outside the carriage was dumbfounded. He could not understand why the Lord Prefecture overseer, who would be able to return to the city before dark, had to stop at this time and spend the night in the wilderness. The living conditions in the wilderness were not good, the food was not good, and they had to worry about their safety. However, it was not as comfortable as living in the city. What was wrong with the Lord Prefecture overseer? did he like to live outside? but he had not realized that the Lord Prefecture overseer had such a strange habit recently.
But no matter what, the Lord Prefecture overseer’s words were orders. Since the Lord Prefecture overseer had said that he would spend the night outside the city and return the next day, everyone had no choice but to obey Him unconditionally, even though they had some doubts in their hearts.
With Xia ping ‘an’s order, the group could only find a post house by the roadside that was not in good condition. After packing up, they spent the night in the post house. With so many people coming, the prefecture overseer was among them, and it made the people in the post house extremely busy. They boiled water, cooked, and tidied up the rooms without any delay.
The next morning, when the sun rose, Xia ping ‘an washed up and prepared in the post house before sending people on their way again. They traveled slowly.
By the time they reached the outskirts of the city, the sun had already risen. As soon as Xia ping ‘an’s convoy arrived, hundreds of children riding bamboo horses and playing ran out of the forest by the roadside to greet Xia ping’ an.
These children were the ones who had been playing outside the city a few days ago.
Xia Pingan came out of the carriage to meet the children.
“The envoy has indeed returned today. We have come to welcome the envoy again, hehe hehe.”
“That’s right, that’s right, the envoy really kept his word and didn’t lie to us. He really came back today, Zhenzhen.”
The group of children laughed at Xia ping ‘an. They were all very happy.
It was only now that the guards and officials in Xia ping ‘an’s group understood that the reason why the prefecture overseer had stayed outside the city for the entire night was that he had told the children that he would only be returning today. He was keeping his promise to the children.
As the governor of a province, the high official of the empire’s border, a man of absolute authority in the entire Bing Province, he had not forgotten his promise to a child riding a bamboo horse by the roadside and had strictly followed it. This surprised everyone, and the way they looked at Xia ping ‘an changed.
Xia ping ‘an encouraged the children with a pleasant look on her face. After that, she sat back in the carriage and let the carriage enter the city.
When the team and the children left, the entire world of the realm Pearl shattered.
……
Xia Pingan, who was sitting cross-legged, only opened his eyes when the fluctuation of divine power in his body disappeared.
that’s right. Although it’s only 15 points of divine power, it’s still meat. Unfortunately, this is the last realm Pearl that I can fuse with. Xia Pingan looked at the upper limit of his secret mandala, which had reached 14238 points. He smiled, relaxed his legs that were sitting cross-legged on the warm jade bed, and walked toward the door of the secret room.
It was a golden secret room, which was surrounded by walls with a metallic luster. This secret room was inside the lightning-fast boat that crazy God had gifted Xia Pingan.
At this moment, Xia Pingan had already left the secret realm of the Heavenly King sect and that bronze puppet for a period of time. He had just completed the integration of the last realm Pearl that he had obtained in the secret realm of the Heavenly King sect in the secret room of the lightning Swift Boat.
During the time he was in the secret realm of the Heavenly King sect, Xia Pingan had almost swept through all the rooms behind the bronze doors. As expected, he had obtained a large number of realm pearls. In addition to the realm pearls, he had also seen all kinds of strange and strange demons and ferocious foreign races in the rooms behind the bronze doors.
Xia Pingan had gained a lot.
When he had almost squeezed out all the benefits he could get from the Heavenly King sect’s Secret realm, Xia Pingan took the thousands of spiritual will crystals of various colors that the bronze puppet had given him and ‘unwillingly’ left the secret realm of the Heavenly King sect. He was prepared to embark on the journey to become a demigod.
In order to become a demigod, one had to bathe in the nine Heavens holy spring, which didn’t exist in the God-killing insect world. The place that had the nine Heavens holy spring was called the heavenly mystery realm, which was another place that was even more strange and dangerous. The entrance of the heavenly mystery realm was in a place called the Wujie mountain in the God-killing insect world. Many people thought that there was a holy spring that could help people become demigods in the God-killing insect world, but it was actually wrong.
The iron sword elder had bid farewell to Xia ping ‘an because he wanted to go to the heavenly mystery realm to find the opportunity to obtain the nine-heavens divine spring.
These few days, Xia Pingan had been in the Heavenly King sect’s Secret realm and had learned a lot of information about the heavenly Dao secret realm from the bronze puppet. He had been greatly shocked.
In the words of the bronze puppet, the heavenly Dao secret realm had another name among the demigods, which was the heavenly Dao killing field. It was one of the most dangerous battlefields in the universe. Those who could enter the heavenly Dao secret realm were all experts at the nine suns realm and demigod realm or above. Even gods would enter. The heavenly Dao secret realm was connected to the various worlds. Except for the human race, there were many things that Xia Pingan could not think of. The top powerhouses and elites of different species of monsters that he had never seen before were fighting for all kinds of rare resources.
Compared to the insect world of the God-killing, the heavenly Dao mystery realm was even more dangerous.
The purple flame Emperor, who had sent Xia Pingan to the Heavenly King sect, had actually rushed back from the battlefield in the heavenly Dao Mystery Land.
Other than the nine Heavens divine spring, there were also various rare realm pearls and treasures in the God’s secret treasure that even demigods needed.
……
The Dragonfish-shaped lightning airboat moved forward at a high speed in the space of the insect world of gods-killing. The entire airboat was more than 400 m in length and was extremely gorgeous. Like a luxurious palace, it had hundreds of rooms and various entertainment facilities.
Walking in the tunnel of the airboat, Xia Pingan could see the fantastic scene outside through the porthole–when the airboat was flying at a high speed as fast as a lightning bolt, everything looked a bit illusionary from the inside. The airboat seemed to be penetrating through the mist. Outside the mist, there were only flickering electric lights. Therefore, he could not see the outside at all.
Xia ping ‘an came to the control room of the airboat. It was Xia Lafu who was in control of the airboat. The Black Dragon was also here, wagging its tail and watching the constantly changing scene in the control room.
Only through the holographic projection of a magic equipment which was similar to a super luxurious crystal hanging lamp could one see the scenery and space map outside the airboat.
“Are we reaching the boundless mountain?” Xia ping ‘an asked Xia Lai Fu.
we’ll arrive soon. Xia Lai Fu watched a red dot on the screen of the huge ” crystal chandelier ” in the driver’s seat as he nodded calmly, ” at our speed, we’ll arrive at the bi ‘an of the boundless mountain in half a day.
Xia Pingan took a look at the red dot in the projection and found that there were countless silver lights flashing around the red dot. They gathered from the surroundings. He couldn’t help but gasp and take a deep breath. The silver lights actually represented the flight trajectory and appearance of a lightning flying boat.
It was Xia Pingan’s first time seeing Yingying with so many lightning flying boats gathered in one place.
……
The first watch period today!
