Chapter 434: Karmic backlash disappears
"Tap into the power of the nation's fate?" Governor Lu was momentarily stunned upon hearing this request.
"Is that not possible?"
"No, no, no, of course it's possible."
The five major immortal sects and the imperial court are allies of righteousness, without any substantial hierarchical relationship.
Ten thousand years ago, the ancestor of the Seek Tao Sect, Returning to Origin Celestial Venerable, along with four others, established the five major immortal sects and formed an alliance with Great Xia, which included rights to enforce laws, supervise, and tax exemptions.
And indeed, the heads of the immortal sects are permitted to use the power of the nation's fate.
Qiu Jin'an, aware of the contents of the alliance, thus made his request.
Governor Lu was unaware of the details of the alliance, but before he assumed his post in Wild State, the Emperor of Xia had urgently briefed him, informing him that the heads of the immortal sects could wield the power of the nation's fate.
In terms of understanding the power of the nation's fate, it was Qiu Jin'an who was more familiar.
"With Sect Leader Qiu's unparalleled cultivation, I wonder what kind of trouble you've encountered. Were you cursed by someone?" Governor Lu asked curiously.
Qiu Jin'an sighed deeply and said, "It's a long story. By a twist of fate, I encountered this young Meng lad. Forced by circumstances, we delved deep into the demon's lair, aiming to eradicate evil and restore peace to the world. However, the lair was a stronghold of the demonic path, teeming with experts. Even I found myself at a disadvantage in battle."
"Not to mention, it's hard to fight alone against many. My strength is limited, and the demonic forces are formidable. During the fight, the demonic path cursed both me and the young Meng!"
"So that's what happened. Those demonic cultivators are truly despicable!" Governor Lu suddenly realized and expressed indignation on behalf of Qiu Jin'an.
"May I ask which of the three major demon cults Sect Leader Qiu ventured into?"
Qiu Jin'an shook his head, unwilling to elaborate, and Governor Lu tactfully did not press further.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had odd expressions but said nothing more.
"Sect Leader Qiu is impressive, storming into the demon cult alone!" Man Gu clenched his fist, thinking how cool it was for Sect Leader Qiu to single-handedly eradicate a demon lair!
When Qiu Jin'an infiltrated the Seek Tao Sect, Man Gu was still in the wilderness undergoing his coming-of-age ceremony, unaware of the situation at the time.
"Using the power of the nation's fate is possible, but I've only just come into contact with it and am not very familiar with its use."
"No matter, it doesn't require a complicated process. Just use the power of the nation's fate to cleanse the two of us."
Seeing Lu Yang still somewhat confused, the Immortal Fairy explained, "The power of the nation's fate has always been present throughout every inch of Great Xia's land, existing in an invisible and undetectable form. The Great Seal of Wild State is the key, turning the undetectable power of the nation's fate into something detectable."
"The Great Seal of Wild State is a treasure that recognizes its master, and only Governor Lu can use this treasure."
"As for the might of the power of the nation's fate, it's probably not very strong because it's only the fate of one state. If the fate of all seventeen states were combined, the power would be considerable. It seems the immortals of the Great Xia imperial court do have some skills."
"Of course, it's just some skills, still not on the same level as this immortal."
Elsewhere, Meng Jingzhou was seeing the power of the nation's fate up close for the first time and felt hopeful about resolving the karmic backlash.
"Do we just jump in?"
Qiu Jin'an stopped Meng Jingzhou's suicidal impulse, "If you were at the Tribulation Crossing stage, there would be a chance of survival if you jumped in."
Meng Jingzhou, although considering himself a Golden Elixir powerhouse, admitted there was still a gap to the Tribulation Crossing stage and decided not to jump.
A stream of the power of the nation's fate, as thick as an arm, flew out, manipulated by Governor Lu.
Governor Lu awkwardly controlled the power of the nation's fate, repeatedly weakening its inherent corrosiveness. He pointed two fingers at Qiu Jin'an and Meng Jingzhou, said "Go," and the power of the nation's fate washed over them.
"How comfortable!" Meng Jingzhou exclaimed in surprise, finding it even more pleasant than his first encounter with spiritual power.
A pink mist drifted out, quickly absorbed and dissolved by the power of the nation's fate, vanishing into nothingness.
The curse that had weighed on their hearts for days disappeared, and Qiu Jin'an also felt extremely refreshed.
"Ah—refreshing!"
"The curse is finally gone. Let's celebrate at the High-class Brothel. Brother Lu, where's the best High-class Brothel in Hanshui City?"
Governor Lu: "..."
Is it really appropriate to ask me this question?
"There used to be a zoo that was the best High-class Brothel, but it's currently closed for renovation."
The second update is at eleven.
