My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 66 Obey my decree, there shall be no delay!

"Now I am here to proclaim to all spirits and to command the heavens!"

The sound seemed to come from the heavens above, resounding throughout every corner of the capital.

Even the lazy cats and dogs in the streets and alleys suddenly raised their heads, a strange light flashing in their eyes.

The people looked up, their faces a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

They found themselves stepping out of their homes or opening their windows, their gazes piercing through the eaves and reaching the vast, boundless sky.

Beneath the vast sky, Chu Lengyu, dressed in snow-white robes, appeared as if a celestial being had descended to earth.

The girl stood on her sword, her figure light and graceful, as if she were one with heaven and earth, her breath causing the surrounding wind and clouds to change.

Her presence instantly robbed the mortal world of its color, drawing all eyes to witness this incredible scene.

"All mighty gods of the eight directions, obey my decree and do not delay!" (Note)

After she finished speaking, the long sword in the girl's hand suddenly emitted an extremely clear and melodious sound.

That sound was unlike anything in the mortal world; it was like the harmonious cry of a dragon and a phoenix, piercing through the clouds and splitting rocks, striking straight to the deepest part of the human heart!

As the sword rang out, the wind and clouds in the world changed color!

The clouds rolled like a raging sea, with golden and silver rays weaving and intertwining among them, creating a series of bizarre and dreamlike scenes.

Suddenly, several hazy phantoms appeared in the sky from all directions. They were tightly shrouded in thick clouds and mist, making it impossible to see their true appearance, but one could feel their majestic aura as if it came from ancient times.

These figures, tall and mighty, wielding all sorts of magical artifacts and weapons, caused space to warp and tremble with every step they took, as if they were true gods who, at the girl's summons, crossed the boundaries of time and space to descend upon the world.

"We will obey your decree!" The response from the eight powerful deities resounded through the heavens like thunder.

The solemn and powerful voice contained an undeniable force that made the whole world tremble.

At this moment, all the mountains and rivers of the world bow down in submission!

The runes of the Cloud Script Void appeared in the air, reflecting the sword light, as if the entire world was under her control.

Anyone who witnessed this scene was utterly astonished.

They all looked up in awe, their eyes filled with shock and reverence. They had never seen such a magnificent sight, nor had they ever felt such a powerful aura.

"There really are gods in this world!"

Such thoughts echoed in everyone's minds, adding to their shock and reverence.

People were so awestruck by these phantom images that they involuntarily knelt down and worshipped the sky.

At this moment, the capital city seemed to be enveloped in a sacred glow, and all the noise and turmoil disappeared, leaving only this breathtaking scene, which will be forever engraved in everyone's memory.

But who exactly is that girl in white? Why does she possess such incredible power, even commanding gods?

These questions, like a fog, shrouded everyone's minds, filling them with both curiosity and awe.

In the palace.

The emperor also heard those two sentences.

However, he was in the Imperial Study reviewing memorials and concentrating on handling state affairs. Upon hearing this, he merely frowned, called Hongfu in, and ordered him to drive away the people making noise outside the door.

Upon receiving this order, Hong Fu wiped the sweat from his brow and stammered, "Your Majesty, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

The emperor finally looked up from the pile of memorials and sized up the nervous and uneasy Hongfu.

He chuckled and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered? Did you see a ghost?"

"Your Majesty, this... this old servant really can't say." Hong Fu frowned, his mind still immersed in the shock of the divine descent, unable to recover for a long time.

His eyes darted to the window, and he said nervously, "You...you go to the window and you'll see."

"Ah." The emperor put down his pen, got up and walked to the window.

Hongfu opened the wooden window for him, and he looked out curiously.

The horizon stretched out endlessly, a gray and white expanse.

"There's nothing here at all!" the emperor asked, puzzled. He had thought some concubine was hiding here, hoping to surprise him.

"Huh?" Hong Fu hurriedly came over and squeezed to the window to take a look. The strange phenomenon from before had already dissipated.

He was distraught and murmured in disbelief, "How could this be? How could it suddenly disappear? It was right there just now!"

The emperor looked at Hongfu's reaction with suspicion.

Hongfu had been by his side since childhood and was a steady and capable servant. It was rare to see him so out of control, and no one knew what he had seen.

The emperor couldn't help but ask, "What did you see just now that made you so nervous? Tell me about it."

“This…” Hong Fu hesitated for only a moment before immediately telling the emperor about the miraculous sight he had just witnessed.

Finally, he added, "Xiao Dezi and the others who were guarding outside the door saw what just happened. This old servant did not lie, and this old servant would never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

"Hmm." The emperor patted his shoulder. "I know who you are, there's no need to take it to heart."

After saying that, he sat back down at his desk, picked up the memorial he had just put down, and continued to review it.

Hong Fu thought to himself in frustration: What kind of mess is this? Heaven, can you please show your power again and let His Majesty see this too?

Outside the imperial city.

The people of the capital witnessed and felt the power of the gods, and they took to the streets to kneel and pray.

Even the nobles and powerful were no exception.

Madam Song pulled her husband aside and whispered to him, "Why did that voice just now sound a bit like that girl Chu Lengyu?"

Chu Wenchen didn't take it seriously and laughed, "How could it be her!"

heaven.

Chu Lengyu closed her eyes and concentrated, sensing the energy between heaven and earth, her mind as calm as still water.

The spiritual power consumed by the Word of Power is rapidly replenished, inexhaustible and ever-flowing.

"What you say is true, and all your wishes can be fulfilled. In that case, I shall hold the grandest banquet ever!"
