King Monroe was promoted to be one of the four Guard Generals today, and he couldn’t wait to put on his new official uniform and show off in front of Master Sun.
As a result, he ended up flirting with a blind man.
As for his promotion, the direct reason was that he colluded with Master Sun, and they shared the benefits of maintaining the Seven Pages Heaven Screen...It can be said that he climbed up with the help of Master Sun, but King Monroe wouldn’t tell Master Sun.
Master Sun glanced at him and congratulated him perfunctorily, "Congratulations. How many more levels are there above your current position?" King Monroe was full of confidence, "After becoming a Guard General, I need to be promoted to Deputy Commander and then to Commander. At that ti, I’ll hold the entire Imperial Guards of Master Howard the Immortal Venerable!"
Each Immortal Venerable has their own personal troops to guard their immortal palaces. In the Heaven Realm, there is no limit to the number of personal troops, and the attitude of the Emperor Venerables is: as long as you can afford it, you can recruit as many as you want.
The Four Guards of Master Howard the Immortal Venerable and the Six Armies of Master Hale the Immortal Venerable have similar rankings. However, since Master Hale beca an Immortal Venerable earlier, his Six Armies have more mbers and more comprehensive functions. Regardless of how low-key Master Hale was, over ti, his Six Armies ranked among the top in terms of overall strength among all the Immortal Venerables’ private troops.
Master Sun had packed a big box and handed it to King Monroe, "Take this." King Monroe was pondering the future with his eyes looking upward and suddenly got a huge wooden box right in front of his face. His temperant was shattered, and it was extrely embarrassing.
"You..." King Monroe was choked with anger, feeling that Master Sun today was out of line! Not on the sa page with him! It must be because he was jealous of his rapid rise and didn’t want to see him succeed too easily, so he deliberately pretended to be indifferent!
It must be the case--he has discovered the truth!
"By the way, where are you moving to?" King Monroe asked as he carried the box. Master Sun stacked four more boxes on top and held four other boxes in his arms. He said to King Monroe, "Follow ."
King Monroe chased after him and asked, "Please answer ...where are you going?" As the two exited the door and walked into the courtyard, King Monroe heard a group of people coming quickly and heard a bootlicking voice saying, "Oh dear, we deserve to die! How could we let you, Deputy Marshal, do such heavy work personally!"
Then, King Monroe heard a clear slap--the bootlicker actually slapped himself in the face out of guilt!
"Hurry up, help Deputy Marshal move the stuff! Are you all blind?"
The boxes in Master Sun’s hands had already been snatched away by the bootlicker. Then, the box in King Monroe’s hand was also taken away. King Monroe shook his hand and looked at the bootlicker. He couldn’t see his face because of the boxes, but his clothes made King Monroe stunned: Why is he wearing the sa uniform as King Monroe? A Guard General’s uniform!
King Monroe suddenly turned his head and looked at Master Sun, "Did he just call you...Deputy Marshal?" Master Sun nodded calmly and said, "Master Hale has graciously appointed as the Deputy Marshal of the Six Armies." Then, Master Sun affectionately patted King Monroe on the shoulder, "Keep up the good work, little Monroe. The future of the Heaven Realm belongs to young people like you."
What am I showing off for!
King Monroe’s whole person collapsed imdiately. He couldn’t articulate why he always liked to show off in front of Master Sun in such a superficial way. Whether it was in the Lower Realm or in front of other peers in the Heaven Realm, he was a very "appropriate" person.
Doing the right thing at the right ti.
For example, as King Monroe, he should be overwhelmingly domineering; as Inspection Officer, he should be brave and decisive; as a confidant of the Immortal Venerable, he should be sycophantic...
But in fact, all of these states were displayed by King Monroe himself, just like the various coats he wore for his own existence. Peeling away the layers of disguise, searching for King Monroe’s true self, you’d find a simple, sowhat adolescent young man who loves to receive others’ envy and praise that never died, just sealed and suppressed within him.
Only when facing Master Sun would this "adolescent" appear.
In the Lower Realm and the Heaven Realm, in King Monroe’s view, only one and a half people could be compared with him: The Great Sect Leader was one, and Master Sun was the half.
He disguised himself even more before the Great Sect Leader, but it backfired.He was most relaxed when facing Master Sun, and as a result, this "young man" was released. The first ti he ca out, he couldn’t show off successfully in front of Master Sun, so there was a second, third ti... In fact, none of the show-offs had been successful.
The few monts of happiness he gained during the process were soon realized by King Monroe that they were deliberate acts by Master Sun.
On the way to Raising Hall, Bootlicker—Chief General of the Weapon Army and Inspection Immortal General—worked tirelessly to carry several large boxes for Master Sun, continuously flattering him. He brought sixteen subordinates, each with remarkable cultivation, and all were elites among the Heaven Realm immortal soldiers. At the very least, they had great strength.
Master Sun had packed a total of eight boxes, and there weren’t enough for each person to have one. The Inspection Immortal General carried two by himself, trying hard to show off. The other immortal soldiers with their hands empty couldn’t still find the opportunity to prove themselves!
Seeing him wearing a uniform similar to his own, King Monroe felt an inexplicable sense of "substitution." More importantly, in front of Immortal King Howard, he was exactly like this! It was just that King Monroe’s level of flattery was several levels higher than that of the Inspection Immortal General.
So it beca even more uncomfortable: he couldn’t show off and instead got shown off to by that guy.
Arriving at the side hall where Master Sun lived, King Monroe began to envy again. The furnishings and applications were of one characteristic: high-level!
It wasn’t necessarily expensive, but in the Heaven Realm, there was a certain unwritten rule that defined it: only by using these items could one prove that they had truly entered the ranks of the immortal aristocracy.
Just like so "rules" in the Lower Realm.
Standing outside the door of Master Sun’s side hall, King Monroe looked up proudly, his heart rebellious: he could be replaced!
Inspection Immortal General personally led the team to help Master Sun place those "gifts," leaving him worry-free. Master Sun then took King Monroe into the hall for a detailed discussion.
The two avatars inside the side hall talked about the maintenance of the Seven-page Heavenly Screen; their main bodies in the Lower Realm t amidst the Stormy Ocean, deploying various ans to try concealing the divine will. Master Sun inford King Monroe: "This matter is of great importance, Your Majesty must be extrely cautious. You only need to help investigate the general situation."
Hearing this, King Monroe solemnly nodded his head, and Master Sun continued: "There is a place in the Heaven Realm called One Cubit Heaven..."
This was one of the tasks given by the Water Mirror. Although Master Sun had not been in the Heaven Realm for long, he had always been busy. For a while, he hadn’t yet attended to this matter. Just now, while Master Sun was packing his things, King Monroe suddenly paid a visit. In that instant, Master Sun was struck by inspiration, as if understanding that there was a hidden chanism driving him to complete this task as soon as possible.
This surge of inspiration made the heart of this avatar of Master Sun beat fiercely, as if it was about to explode. Thus, without a doubt, if he couldn’t handle it promptly, the Cause and Effect punishnt ntioned by the Water Mirror would descend, resulting in a great disaster!
And the fact that it was chosen at this particular ti led Master Sun to speculate that the opportunity to complete this task might lie with King Monroe.
After the conversation between the main bodies, the avatar in the Heaven Realm was also inford synchronously. King Monroe then took his leave.
Of course, Master Sun would also secretly investigate, but after arriving in the Heaven Realm, he beca even more cautious. Those high-level beings, each with unimaginable Divine Powers, could expose him completely with just a little carelessness.
For example, when Master Sun previously visited the Library Pavilion to search for clues about Master Amos and Dove Immortal, he used the excuse that he wanted to find a suitable Immortal Skill for his cultivation. With that pretext, he browsed various books.
Now, if he wanted to search for information about One Cubit Heaven in the Library Pavilion, he also needed a good reason.
Master Sun endured for several days. During this ti, subordinates visiting the house, friends coming to congratulate, he entertained guests and celebrated cheerfully, as his Immortal rit Points were still sufficient.
When the various matters related to Master Sun’s new appointnt were finally settled, Master Hale sent an errand: to refine three million pounds of Burning Immortal Stone.
An idea ford in Master Sun’s mind: The excuse has arrived!
