The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Lingxiao Palace stands above the nine heavens, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

Inside the hall, nine dragons hovered above the throne, exuding majesty and sacredness.

Emperor Yun Che, dressed in a purple-gold robe, with black hair and deep eyes, sat upright on the Nine Dragon Throne, surrounded by a faint spiritual energy, showing his extraordinary and otherworldly appearance.

Today, the atmosphere in Lingxiao Palace was slightly different. Xu Wan, Yun Che's only disciple, dressed in a green robe and with a graceful figure, walked into the palace with a young Taoist priest.

This Taoist has handsome eyebrows and clear eyes. He is the Taoist Xuanqing who was born as a mortal. He is also Xu Wan's favorite student and Yun Che's great-grandson.

All the elders and monks looked towards Taoist Xuanqing.

Everyone started talking about it, and it seemed that there was still a trace of worldly air about this Taoist priest.

"Greetings to the Emperor." Taoist Xuanqing bowed respectfully. Although his voice was soft, it revealed firmness and confidence.

"I found this jade tube in a secret cave deep in the forest in the back mountain. It records that there is a spiritual vein in a place in the forest in the back mountain." Xuan Qing presented the jade tube with both hands.

Xu Wan stepped forward, took the ancient jade tube from Xuanqing's hand, and instantly moved to the hall.

She stood beside Emperor Yun Che and respectfully handed the jade tube to him.

Yun Che took the jade tube, and his spiritual energy surged. After a moment, the information in the jade tube appeared in his mind.

He nodded slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the contents of the jade tube.

Afterwards, Xu Wan opened her red lips slightly and said in a stern voice, "Seniors and fellow Taoists, this is my new disciple from the mortal world, Taoist Master Xuanqing."

Xu Wan's voice echoed in the hall like thunder, shocking everyone present.

They all turned their gazes to Xuanqing, their eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.

"What? He... he is a mortal?" A monk couldn't help but exclaimed, his tone full of disbelief.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone was discussing Xuanqing's identity and qualifications.

Some cultivators believed that this was a challenge to the rules of the cultivation world, while others worried that Xuanqing's existence would taint the sanctity of Lingxiao Palace.

"A cat demon also accepts disciples, clings to the emperor all day long, and now accepts male disciples in the mortal world. It's really lewd!" There was obvious dissatisfaction and provocation in the voice of another cultivator.

Hearing this, Xu Wan looked at the monks below the hall. Some were kneeling, while others were standing.

Afterwards, Xu Wan leaned over and licked Yun Che's ear, causing the base of Yun Che's ear to instantly turn red.

Xuanqing watched this operation. In the hall, only his master could do such an intimate action. He was so impressed that he could only admire this master who was so extraordinary.

Xu Wan stared down, her voice carrying a very depressing tone.

At this time, Xu Wan was as imposing as a rainbow and as majestic as an emperor or empress, making people dare not offend her.

"If you don't accept it, just come and kill me. The Emperor didn't care about me accepting male disciples, and you dare to do so? It seems that your brain has been damaged by practicing all day long."

Upon hearing this, some monks shook their heads while others lowered their heads and remained silent.

There was also a row of monks kneeling and unable to get up!

At this time, a highly respected elder stepped forward and said slowly, "Since the fairy is so insistent, we can't say anything more.

However, this mortal has a special status after all, and needs more testing."

Xu Wan nodded slightly in agreement. She looked at Xuan Qing standing in the hall and said, "Xuan Qing, you are my disciple. I will teach you with all my heart. I hope you will not let me down."

"Disciple Xuanqing will definitely live up to Master's high expectations!" Xuanqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Master.

Xuan Qing then saluted the elders and spoke, "My fellow elders, although I am a mortal, my heart is devoted to the Great Dao and my aspiration is to cultivate the truth. I wish to make up for my shortcomings with diligence, treat others with sincerity, and prove my worth through concrete actions.

Please, seniors, give me a chance to pursue my own path of cultivation in this sacred place of Biluo Palace."

Although Xuanqing's words were plain and unadorned, they revealed an indescribable tenacity and determination.

His eyes were clear and firm, as if they could penetrate all obstacles and see into the deepest part of people's hearts.

Meanwhile, Yun Che's eyes were icy as he sat on the Nine Dragon Throne, emitting a powerful aura.

He instantly disappeared from the throne and suddenly appeared in front of the monk who had just insulted his disciple, with every step he took carrying supreme pressure.

“You will die today.” Yun Che’s voice was frighteningly calm.

Under Yun Che's gaze, the cultivator trembled uncontrollably and stammered, "I... I... beg the Emperor to spare my life."

The monk knelt on his knees and wet his pants instantly.

“Hmph!” Yun Che snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a sharp sword energy whizzed out, directly beheading the cultivator on the spot.

Everyone suddenly fell silent, not daring to make a sound anymore.

Yun Che turned to look at Xuan Qing and said softly, "It seems that this forest behind the mountain still hides many secrets. Well done. You have made great contributions in finding the spiritual vein this time, and you deserve a reward."

Yun Che gently waved his hand, and two golden pills flew into Xuan Qing's hands. Xuan Qing was overwhelmed with emotion and knelt down again to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Emperor, for your gift!"

When everyone saw this scene, envy appeared in their eyes.

Yun Che looked at Xuan Qing and said calmly, "These two golden pills are called 'Heavenly Spirit Pills'. Taking them will help you improve your cultivation. Just keep them."

Xuanqing carefully put the golden elixir into his arms and secretly vowed in his heart that he must practice hard and live up to the emperor's expectations.

Xuan Qing stared at Emperor Yun Che, and instantly felt that he, a man, was about to be attracted to the Emperor.

He is gentle and doting to his disciples, and he helps his friends with all his strength.

His supreme cultivation, the majesty of an emperor and his decisiveness in killing.

Yun Che saw through Xuan Qing's thoughts and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a devilish smile.

He instantly moved to the Nine Dragon Throne and sat down, his eyes flashing with confidence and dominance.

Yun Che looked at the jade tube in his hand, secretly thinking about how to utilize this spiritual vein to enhance the sect's strength.

Fellow monks, elders," Yun Che's voice was deep and powerful, penetrating every corner of the hall.

"I've summoned you all here today to discuss the matter of the spirit vein.

Spiritual veins are the gathering of the essence of heaven and earth, and are of great benefit to spiritual practice.

"I intend to send powerful individuals to the depths of the spiritual veins to explore their mysteries, so as to help my Biluo Palace advance further. Do you have any opinions? When do you plan to depart?"

Inside the hall, all the monks and elders looked at each other in confusion.

Although the spiritual vein is good, the depths are full of dangers and it is difficult for those without high cultivation to set foot in it. For a moment, the hall fell into silence.

"Your Majesty, our cultivation is still shallow, and I am afraid that we cannot take on this important task." An elder spoke first, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

"Yes, Emperor, the depths of the spiritual veins are extremely dangerous, and it is difficult for us to protect ourselves."

The other monks also echoed, but no one was willing to volunteer.

Yun Che frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, finally stopping at Xu Wan who was standing next to him.

Xu Wan is a thousand-year-old cat demon and his only disciple. She is gifted and has extraordinary cultivation. She has inherited Yun Che's mantle and has unique insights into the way of cultivation.

“Wan’er, what do you think?” Yun Che asked, his tone filled with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wan bowed to Yun Che, then turned around and looked at everyone with a determined gaze.

"Master, I am willing to go." Xu Wan's voice was clear and pleasant, but it carried unquestionable determination.

The spiritual vein is the essence of heaven and earth. It is the holy land for cultivation that cultivators dream of. Its importance is self-evident.

"Since you all don't want to follow me into the depths of the spirit vein, then let's put the matter of the spirit vein aside for a few days. We won't go there. However, in the path of cultivation, if you don't make progress, you will regress. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater."

As he spoke, Yun Che turned his gaze to Xu Wan, who was standing beside him. She was his only disciple, a young girl with extraordinary intelligence and talent.

She was dressed in a green shirt, with a beautiful and refined face, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

“Wan’er, follow me to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to refine pills. Your alchemy skills have already made some progress, and it’s time to take it to the next level.” Yun Che said gently.

Xu Wan's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Master."

Yun Che held Xu Wan's hand and slowly walked down the hall. Above the hall, the cultivators saw the Emperor approaching and felt uneasy.

The cultivators knelt on the ground one after another, lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to look directly into Yun Che's eyes.

"Xuanqing, you should go to the forest at the back mountain and practice well. If you have any questions, you can ask Tan Yuan and Yan Wu. Wan'er and I are going to practice in seclusion." Yun Che walked to Xuanqing and patted Xuanqing's shoulder.

Xuanqing stared at the two of them. They were his master and grandmaster.

At this moment, the two of them standing together were a perfect match made in heaven, like the combination of the sun and the moon, shining brightly.

What forbidden love between master and disciple? What heavenly law? The two of them standing together was heavenly law.

Xuanqing then bowed, thanked his master and left.

Yun Che walked out of the hall holding Xu Wan's hand. The cultivators looked up and saw that the Emperor had left. The heavy weight in their hearts finally fell.

All the monks said in unison: "Farewell, Emperor!"
