I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

This wasn't Venerable Yinyue trying to scare Han Shuang. Although Venerable Yinyue didn't know Li Chen's exact strength, Li Chen was undoubtedly a Saint Realm expert.

If someone can earn the respect of Yuan Tianhe, they must be no ordinary Saint Realm cultivator.

Given Li Chen's status as the Human Emperor, Venerable Yin Yue was there to present a treasure, not to offend Li Chen.

No need for any formalities or stage; you even have to be polite when you speak.

The Hidden Moon Venerable was giving his closed-door disciple a warning because he was afraid the disciple might say something inappropriate to Li Chen.

It should be noted that disciples of reclusive sects, especially closed-door disciples like Han Shuang, hold a high status in the secular world. Even sect leaders sometimes have to speak to them in a humble manner.

He would naturally develop a rebellious personality.

If we don't address this now, it will be too late when something goes wrong.

"Disciple understands." Han Shuang nodded solemnly.

With a soft shout, the Ice Wolf Chariot sped off in the northeast direction.

Inside the carriage, Venerable Yinyue closed his eyes to rest, but in his mind he was planning what he would say later.

The Immortal's Token is just a stepping stone; what might truly interest His Majesty is the contents of the sandalwood box.

Because he had heard Yuan Tianhe say that His Majesty had accepted the Immortal's Fate Crystal.

Doesn't that prove His Majesty wants to 'ascend to immortality'?
As an emperor with that level of power, everyone would want to live a little longer.

If I can do my part to help His Majesty ascend to heaven, His Majesty will surely be pleased.

At that time, all resources will be readily available.

He could even foresee the future development of the sect.

Han Shuang secretly glanced at her master and noticed a faint smile on his lips.

This discovery made him even more curious about who this legendary Emperor Tian Ce really was.
After arranging the sect's affairs, Venerable Yinyue left the Ten Netherworld Palace with Han Shuang.

Four pure white snow wolves pulled the ice chariot, traversing the rugged mountain road as if it were flat ground, at an astonishing speed.

The cold wind howled past, but the carriage remained as steady as Mount Tai, and not even the tea in the cups stirred.

"Master, at this speed, we should be able to reach the only route north by noon tomorrow." Han Shuang estimated the distance, her tone tinged with pride.

This Snowfield Ice Wolf is a rare spirit beast that the sect has been cultivating for many years. Ordinary cultivators rarely even get to see it.

Venerable Yinyue nodded slightly, his gaze gazing into the distance through the car window.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly. On the mountain path below, a group of cultivators dressed in blue and red Taoist robes were walking. It seemed that they were elders from a small sect leading their disciples on a training expedition.

"The Qingxia Sect? They've chosen a good training location; there are many demonic beasts and abundant resources here." Han Shuang also noticed the group.
Venerable Yinyue did not answer, but simply nodded slightly.

Such a small sect is not worth his attention at all.

The carriage continued speeding along, quickly leaving the group of cultivators far behind.

Several hours later, the carriage stopped to rest by a mountain stream.

The Snowfield Ice Wolf needs to replenish its spiritual energy, and Venerable Hidden Moon also intends to take a short break to recuperate.

But just as they stopped, the group of cultivators in blue and red robes also came up from the mountain path!

"This..." Han Shuang's eyes widened. "Master, have we gone the wrong way?"

Venerable Yinyue looked around with a solemn expression. After confirming that the location was correct, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Given the speed of the Snowfield Ice Wolf, ordinary cultivators would have no chance of catching up, let alone one leading a group of young disciples. "Perhaps it's a coincidence," Venerable Hidden Moon said in a deep voice, but suspicion had already arisen in his heart.

After setting off again, Venerable Yinyue specifically instructed the carriage to speed up.

However, to everyone's astonishment, when they stopped to rest for the third time, the group of Qingxia Sect cultivators reappeared not far away!

"Master, this is too strange. Should I go and ask about it?" Han Shuang couldn't help but say.

This time, Venerable Yinyue did not object and nodded. Han Shuang straightened her robes and walked towards the group of cultivators.

Upon seeing Han Shuang's extraordinary demeanor and noticing the magnificent Xuanbing carriage in the distance, the leading Qingxia Sect elder immediately bowed respectfully.

"What advice does this senior have for me?" the elder asked cautiously.

Frost was direct: "How come you're so fast? Do you have some kind of magic weapon?"

The elder was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized: "You two must be experts from a hidden sect, right?"

This wasn't the first time he'd encountered something like this.

Seeing Han Shuang nod, the elder smiled and explained, "We don't have any magic weapons. We came by the Tian Ce Dynasty's rail train. This time, we're taking our disciples on a training trip along the way."

"A rail train? What's that?" Venerable Yinyue had appeared at some point, his brows furrowed.

Seeing that the elder, whose demeanor was even more extraordinary, was asking a question, the elder became even more respectful: "In reply to the senior, the rail train is a new type of transportation developed by the Tian Ce Ministry of Industry. It is extremely fast and has a large passenger capacity. It has now become one of the most important modes of transportation in the secular world."

A hint of shock flashed in Venerable Yinyue's eyes.

He had lived in seclusion for many years, never expecting the outside world to have developed to this extent.

The elder continued to explain, "Moreover, there are special training checkpoints along the way. This time, we are training while traveling along the route."

The Venerable Hidden Moon was filled with turbulent waves.

He had thought that monks in the secular world still relied on their own two legs or ordinary mounts to travel, but he never expected that they already had such advanced means of transportation.

"Who created this railcar?" Venerable Hidden Moon couldn't help but ask.

The elder said with a look of reverence, "Naturally, it was the idea of ​​His Majesty Li Chen. It is said that it was originally intended to facilitate the mobilization of the army, and was later extended to the common people."

The Hidden Moon Venerable remained silent for a long time, his respect for the Heavenly Strategy Emperor, whom he had never met, grew even stronger.

It's no wonder that even someone like Yuan Tianhe held him in high esteem for his ability to drive such change.

"If you're interested, senior, there's a station ten miles ahead where you can experience it for yourself," the elder said warmly.
Venerable Yinyue and Frost exchanged a glance and nodded.

He suddenly felt that this trip out of the mountains might allow him to see more unexpected things.

Seeing that the two were interested in the railcar, the Qingxia Sect elder immediately said enthusiastically, "Seniors, we still have to continue our training later. If it's on our way, how about I give you two a ride?"

Venerable Yinyue nodded slightly: "It's acceptable, then I'll trouble you."

The elder was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand, beads of sweat forming on his forehead: "No, no! It is my honor to serve you, senior!"

He could see it clearly: the aura emanating from the old man was unfathomable, and the jade token at his waist further highlighted his extraordinary status.

A person of that caliber could probably wipe out the entire Qingxia Sect with a stomp of their foot.

He had the utmost respect for her.

Led by the elder, the master and disciple arrived at a nearby train station.

As soon as he stepped onto the platform, Venerable Yinyue involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
