No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right?

Chapter 115: Heavenly Supervisory? The Turmoil of Jin Nation’s Imperial Court!

In a pavilion.

Sikong Jiantian and Ye Ping stood looking at each other.

“Senior Sikong, what can I do for you?”

Walking towards the middle of the pavilion, Ye Ping looked at Sikong Jiantian with some curiosity, unsure of what Sikong Jiantian wanted to do.

“Ye Ping, this time, you’ve saved the entire Qingzhou Ancient City and you deserve huge credit. Let me ask you, have you ever thought about becoming an official?”

Sikong Jiantian asked as he looked at Ye Ping.

“No.”

However, Ye Ping refuted.

‘What’s the point of becoming an official?’

If he wanted to be an official, he would have done so long ago. He still preferred immortal cultivation as he found it more interesting.

“Uh...”

Sikong Jiantian knew that Ye Ping would refute, but he didn’t expect Ye Ping to be so decisive about it.

“Ye Ping, have you heard of the Heavenly Supervisory before?”

Sikong Jiantian said.

“No.”

Ye Ping shook his head as he was really clueless about the Heavenly Supervisory. He only knew a little bit about Qingzhou and the Jin Nation’s system. The Heavenly Supervisory was beyond his knowledge.

“It’s alright if you haven’t heard of it before. I’m telling you, the Heavenly Supervisory is the organization that monitors the world on behalf of the imperial court. Not only does it hold great power and authority, but it can even deploy all troops of the world. Once the Heavenly Supervisory token is shown, all the sects and imperial court have to obey. Well, are you interested?”

Sikong Jiantian sounded domineering and his eyes were full of smugness.

He wanted to poach Ye Ping and convince him to join the Heavenly Supervisory. Although he did not have the authority to let Ye Ping start serving in the Heavenly Supervisory immediately, he had the right to recommend a suitable candidate.

He felt that Ye Ping had great potential and would catch the Heavenly Supervisory’s attention sooner or later. Hence, he might as well recommend Ye Ping earlier. If Ye Ping managed to make a name for himself in the Heavenly Supervisory, Sikong Jiantian would obtain plenty of rewards too.

However, unfortunately...

Ye Ping shook his head.

“Senior Sikong, if this is what it’s about, I’ll get going. I’m devoted to immortal cultivation and I’m not enticed by owning power and authority.”

Ye Ping said.

He had never thought of joining any forces as he felt that cultivating alone was good enough.

Ye Ping didn’t like the idea of getting involved in power struggles either.

“It’s the Heavenly Supervisory that holds great power. Ye Ping, what are you worried about? Do you know how many people wanted to join the Heavenly Supervisory but got rejected?”

“I get it, you don’t understand how extraordinary the Heavenly Supervisory is yet. Let me explain to you. Hey, Ye Ping, don’t go. Surely you don’t think I’m lying to you, are you?”

“Hey, Ye Ping, why are you leaving just like that?”

Sikong Jiantian was surprised.

‘It’s the Heavenly Supervisory.’

‘What kind of an organization do you think it is?’

‘So many people are dying to go join us and even the 27 royal princes and princesses of Great Xia Dynasty want to join the organization. It’s a supreme and heavenly organization.’

The Heavenly Supervisory held unimaginable power, but he never expected Ye Ping to turn down the offer without any hesitation.

‘That’s not the way to play hard to get, right?’

Since Ye Ping had already left, Sikong Jiantian could not continue chasing him because he couldn’t directly let Ye Ping join the Heavenly Supervisory. After all, he could only recommend him.

If Ye Ping really agreed but the Heavenly Supervisory refused to take him in, it would be embarrassing.

‘Are geniuses so bold these days?’

Looking at Ye Ping who was leaving, Sikong Jiantian felt a little depressed.

He left the pavilion.

Ye Ping returned to the Sword Dao Meet venue.

“Exalted Immortal, Exalted Immortal.”

Someone spoke.

It was Chen Yuan.

At this moment, Chen Yuan’s body was full of merit as he had naturally reaped a lot of benefits from Ye Ping’s expiation of millions of resentful spirits. However, he was still far from forming a Merit Body.

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing Chen Yuan floating over with excitement written all over his face, Ye Ping was a little curious.

“Exalted Immortal, thank you so much for granting me merit. I plan to reincarnate and go back, but before I do, I want to bid you farewell.”

All smiles, Chen Yuan floated over.

He planned to reincarnate and return. After all, he might have obtained a lot of merit this time, but in fact, he was well aware that the Fiendcelestial Cult definitely wouldn’t let him off. Instead of waiting for the Merit Body to be forged, he decided that it would be better to reincarnate.

With so much merit, he might get reincarnated as an emperor in his next life. If not, he would at least be a prince.

Hence, he was there to bid Ye Ping goodbye.

“Okay, remember to be a good person in the next life.”

Ye Ping smiled and nodded.

“Exalted Immortal, rest assured. I do not resonate with sin and I’ll definitely be a good person in my next life. Exalted Immortal, I’m going to get going. If we get to meet again in the next life, I will be your slave.”

Chen Yuan immediately went to reincarnate smilingly.

However, at this moment, Ye Ping waved his hand, and a large amount of merit surged into Chen Yuan’s body. It was his final gift for Chen Yuan.

After all, Chen Yuan did give him a lot of help and that was considered a removal of karma.

Feeling the merit in his body, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but be stunned. His eyes were a little red, but unfortunately, he couldn’t bring himself to cry.

However, he turned around to kowtow to Ye Ping respectfully thrice before going to reincarnate.

“I’m going to be a good person in the next life!”

“If there is a chance, I will do anything for you, Exalted Immortal!”

Before reincarnating, Chen Yuan muttered and affirmed his decision.

He reincarnated.

Ye Ping also bid farewell to the City Lord of Qingzhou Ancient City and left alone.

After Ye Ping left, Sikong Jiantian walked out of the pavilion.

At that moment, Chen Zheng hurriedly walked over.

“Lord Sikong.”

“Relay my orders. Tell everyone to quickly spread the word about what happened in Qingzhou Ancient City today, but make sure to exaggerate things and say that Ye Ping is truly the reincarnate of a Dao god or Bodhisattva. Tell everyone that he expiated all the members of the Fiendcelestial Cult with a single point of his finger, got it?”

Sikong Jiantian sent a voice transmission to Chen Zheng and instructed him to handle that matter.

“Lord Sikong, why? If this gets out, won’t Ye Ping be targeted by the Demon cults?”

Chen Zheng frowned, feeling a bit confused.

Although the matter seemed to have already blown over now, the following matters were troublesome and Ye Ping would definitely end up being targeted by the Fiendcelestial Cult. Once they targeted Ye Ping, it would be truly troublesome. Previously, he had been thinking about how he could suppress this matter.

However, he did not expect that Sikong Jiantian would ask him to publicize that matter and spread it around.

“Fool.”

In the next moment, Sikong Jiantian humphed coldly before continuing to speak slowly.

“You want to keep the news under wraps, but the problem is that what Ye Ping did was witnessed by tens of thousands of cultivators. To put it bluntly, can you stop the tongues of gossipers from wagging? Can you possibly kill all of them?”

“I want you to send some people to spread the word about it so as to make it seem unrealistic. As long as you boast about it enough, the less plausible it would seem. By then, we will send people to spread the news that Ye Ping is your distant nephew.”

“That way, everyone will feel that this matter was resolved by me, but I don’t like pursuing fame and fortune. Use this matter to rally for Ye Ping and in due course, no one will pay attention to Ye Ping.”

“That’s the only way to ensure that Ye Ping will be completely safe. Otherwise, once the Fiendcelestial Cult disciples target Ye Ping, they won’t send ordinary cultivators to deal with Ye Ping because that will only give Ye Ping the chance to gain merit. They might send the Heavenly Dipper elders to handle this matter.”

Sikong Jiantian’s words made Chen Zheng come to a sudden realization.

He thought about it carefully and felt that Sikong Jiantian was right.

Since tens of thousands of cultivators had already seen it, how could they suppress it?

Only by exaggerating endlessly to create a sense of surreality and then saying that Ye Ping was his distant relative would the people feel that they were just creating clout for Ye Ping. Although he would be criticized, he would save Ye Ping’s life.

“Greetings, Lord Sikong.”

Chen Zheng hurriedly praised Sikong Jiantian, but at the end, he continued to ask, “Lord Sikong, you just called Ye Ping to go in. You’re planning to poach him and ask him to join the Heavenly Supervisory, aren’t you?”

Sikong Jiantian glanced at Chen Zheng before nodding.

“What about his wishes then?”

Chen Zheng continued to ask.

“He was really happy, he’s now packing up to go to the Heavenly Supervisory.”

At the mention of this, Sikong Jiantian got a little furious, but since he couldn’t say that Ye Ping had rejected him, so he had no choice but to make it up.

“He has a promising future.”

Hearing his answer, Chen Zheng couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

“Okay, keep it to yourself, or you’ll know the consequences.”

“Go deal with the affairs of the ancient city. I will stay here for the next few days lest something goes wrong again.”

After saying that, Sikong Jiantian left.

Chen Zheng didn’t say much either. He immediately went to handle the miscellaneous affairs.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye...

On the following day, 33 urgent secret reports appeared in the Jin Nation’s imperial court.

There was an uproar in the Jin Nation’s imperial court.
