Chapter 2484: Meeting with Joy

Chapter Nine Hundred Ninety-Two: Going Out and Seeing Joy

Wu Tie stood up, smiled at the people from the Great Immortal Dynasties, and then turned to the people from the Wu Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty.

"You have all heard the will of His Majesty," Wu Tie said. "Return now and select ten promising disciples from each of your sects or clans. Bring them to the Imperial City. His Majesty will bestow upon them supreme cultivation methods and various precious materials. The selection process is straightforward. Anyone chosen will become a core disciple of the Wu Dynasty Imperial Clan."

Wu Tie paused, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the cultivators from the Wu Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty. "This is a rare opportunity. It's also a test of your own judgment. Consider carefully which ten you choose. In the future, their achievements will be a reflection of your own contributions."

The cultivators from the Wu Dynasty and Chu Dynasty were overjoyed. They bowed repeatedly, expressing their gratitude.

"Imperial Preceptor Wu, rest assured! We will return immediately and select the most outstanding disciples!"

"Imperial Preceptor, we will ensure that we do not disappoint His Majesty and you!"

Wu Tie nodded. "Alright, you may go. Be swift."

The cultivators bowed again and then hurriedly departed, their forms transforming into streaks of light as they soared into the sky and vanished in an instant.

After seeing them off, Wu Tie turned to face the people from the Great Immortal Dynasties. He had just finished speaking when a voice boomed from the horizon:

"Imperial Preceptor Wu, you are here!"

Wu Tie looked up and saw a massive golden ship, glowing brightly, soaring through the sky. On the bow of the ship stood a young man in bright yellow robes, smiling broadly at Wu Tie.

This young man had eyes as deep as the starry sky and a gaze that seemed to encompass the entire world. Around him stood several powerful figures, emanating an aura of immense power.

Wu Tie's heart skipped a beat. He recognized the golden ship—it was the 'Sunlight Ship', a legendary artifact of the Great Immortal Dynasties. Its appearance here could only mean one thing: this young man was the Emperor of the Great Immortal Dynasties.

He had never expected the Emperor of the Great Immortal Dynasties to arrive so quickly, and in person.

Wu Tie took a deep breath and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The young man laughed heartily. "Imperial Preceptor Wu, no need for such formality. You are a distinguished guest in my Great Immortal Dynasty. I have heard much about your achievements and have been eager to meet you."

The golden ship descended, and the young man stepped onto the ground, followed by his retinue. He walked towards Wu Tie with a warm smile.

Wu Tie returned the smile. "Your Majesty is too kind. It is my honor to meet you."

The young man, the Emperor of the Great Immortal Dynasties, gestured towards the other people from the Great Immortal Dynasties who had been present. "These are my advisors and generals. You have already met them."

Wu Tie nodded in acknowledgment.

The Emperor then turned back to Wu Tie. "Imperial Preceptor Wu, the purpose of my visit is simple. I wish to invite you to the Imperial Palace as my guest. I have prepared a feast in your honor."

Wu Tie hesitated for a moment. He knew that accepting this invitation could be complicated, but refusing might also be seen as disrespectful.

He decided to accept. "I would be honored to accept Your Majesty's invitation."

The Emperor's smile widened. "Excellent! Then let us depart immediately."

He extended a hand, inviting Wu Tie to board the Sunlight Ship.

Wu Tie stepped onto the golden ship. As he did, he felt a powerful force emanating from the vessel. It was not just a ship; it was a formidable weapon and a mobile palace.

The Sunlight Ship ascended into the sky, its golden light illuminating the surrounding area. As they flew towards the Imperial City, the Emperor and Wu Tie engaged in conversation, discussing various topics, from the state of the world to cultivation practices.

Wu Tie was impressed by the Emperor's knowledge and insights. He realized that the Emperor was not just a figurehead but a truly capable ruler.

The journey was swift, and soon they arrived at the Imperial City of the Great Immortal Dynasties. It was a magnificent city, even grander than the Imperial City of the Wu Dynasty. The buildings were adorned with intricate carvings and golden decorations, and the streets were bustling with people.

The Sunlight Ship landed in the central square of the Imperial City, where a large crowd had gathered to witness the arrival of the Emperor and his guest.

The Emperor and Wu Tie disembarked from the ship and were greeted with thunderous applause and cheers.

The Emperor led Wu Tie through the city, past majestic palaces and beautiful gardens. Wu Tie was awe-struck by the grandeur of the Imperial City.

Finally, they arrived at the Imperial Palace, a sprawling complex of buildings surrounded by high walls. The palace was even more impressive than the city itself, with its towering gates and magnificent halls.

Inside the palace, a grand feast had been prepared. The table was laden with exquisite dishes and fine wines. The Emperor and Wu Tie took their seats, and the feast began.

During the feast, the Emperor continued to engage Wu Tie in conversation, asking him about his experiences and his views on various matters. Wu Tie answered truthfully and thoughtfully, sharing his insights and perspectives.

As the feast progressed, Wu Tie noticed that the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. The Emperor was a gracious host, and his advisors and generals were also welcoming.

After the feast, the Emperor led Wu Tie to a private chamber.

"Imperial Preceptor Wu," the Emperor said, "I have a request to make."

Wu Tie waited for the Emperor to continue.

"I have heard that you possess a unique understanding of the Dao," the Emperor said. "I would be honored if you would share some of your insights with me."

Wu Tie was surprised by the Emperor's request. He had not expected the Emperor to be interested in his understanding of the Dao.

He considered for a moment and then replied, "Your Majesty, I am still learning and exploring the Dao myself. However, I would be happy to share what I have learned so far."

The Emperor smiled. "Excellent. I have been seeking a deeper understanding of the Dao for a long time. Perhaps your insights can help me."

Wu Tie and the Emperor then spent the rest of the evening discussing the Dao, sharing their perspectives and insights. Wu Tie was amazed by the Emperor's profound understanding of the Dao, and the Emperor was equally impressed by Wu Tie's unique approach to cultivation.

As the night wore on, Wu Tie felt a growing respect for the Emperor. He realized that the Emperor was not just a powerful ruler but also a dedicated seeker of the Dao.

By the time they finished their discussion, the first rays of dawn were appearing in the sky. Wu Tie felt a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. He had not only met the Emperor of the Great Immortal Dynasties but had also had a deep and meaningful conversation with him.

The Emperor stood up, a smile on his face. "Imperial Preceptor Wu, this has been a truly enlightening experience. Thank you for sharing your insights with me."

Wu Tie bowed. "Your Majesty is too kind. I have also learned much from our conversation."

The Emperor then offered Wu Tie a guest chamber in the palace, where he could rest and prepare for his departure.

Wu Tie accepted the offer and was led to a luxurious chamber. As he settled in, he reflected on the events of the past day. He had come to the Great Immortal Dynasties expecting challenges and conflicts, but instead, he had found unexpected joy and understanding.

He had met the Emperor and had a profound discussion with him. He had seen the magnificence of the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace. And he had felt a sense of connection with the people of the Great Immortal Dynasties.

Wu Tie smiled to himself. Perhaps this trip would not be as difficult as he had initially thought. Perhaps there was a possibility of forging a peaceful relationship between the Wu Dynasty and the Great Immortal Dynasties.

With these thoughts in mind, Wu Tie closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep, a sense of hope and anticipation filling his heart.
