Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 1979 - 1998: Dayu Empire

The Dayu Empire, established five thousand years ago, unified the entire Dayu star under the first Emperor ’Yu’. Thereafter, the star was named Dayu, and the Yu family ruled over the Dayu star for more than five thousand years.

Of course, the stability of the Dayu Empire’s rule over its lands for such a long time was also due to the Protective Country Divine Sect that has been accompanying it for over five thousand years!

The first Sect Hierarch of the Protective Country Divine Sect was a woman, a lover of Emperor Yu. For unknown reasons, even though Yu achieved empire, the two never united in marriage. However, the Protective Country Divine Sect took on the critical task of safeguarding the empire, with every generation being led by a female hierarch.

In the current generation, it is the seventh generation, as the previous six hierarchs all fell after failing to break through during the late Mahayana stage.

The empire’s citizens revere their empire, but they have even greater reverence for the Divine Sect, because the Divine Sect is composed of cultivators, while the Emperor is a mere mortal!

If one wishes to be Emperor, they cannot cultivate; if they wish to cultivate, they cannot be Emperor. The Protective Country Divine Sect watches over the empire, forbidding the Emperor from cultivating. If the Emperor secretly engages in cultivation, the Protective Country Divine Sect has the authority to depose the Emperor and select another!

This is how things have been conducted for five thousand years!

Additionally, every generation’s Emperor is a disciple of the Sect Hierarch. The Hierarch does not teach them cultivation but teaches them the principles of being a human being, as the Hierarchs, with their long lifespans, comprehend much more!

In the Imperial Palace Hall, the woman in the snow-white robes spoke in a deep voice: "Even if they are not celestial beings, they have come from beyond the heavens, and anyone able to come from beyond must be at least at the mid-Mahayana cultivation level. Such people can only be allied with, not offended. Moreover, if they are indeed celestial beings, the fate of our empire can be altered, and the forthcoming crisis may be resolved!"

"I will heed the teacher’s advice. For the empire, for the Dayu star, for the eighty million citizens on Dayu star, I would do anything, even if it means dying!"

This Emperor, in their thirties, is an enlightened ruler – indeed, all descendants of Yu are humbled!

"Hmm, don’t bring too many people, two or three will suffice, and take the national treasures as gifts!"

"Alright, teacher, please sit and wait, your disciple will prepare at once!" The Emperor hurriedly left, while the woman took a deep breath. She didn’t know what this trip to Qingcheng would bring, but she had to go.

After about ten minutes, the Emperor, now in plain clothes, returned with a man in his fifties and a tall, burly man and approached the woman!

"Teacher, we can depart now!"

"Let’s go, to the hall’s outer grounds!" The woman was unhesitant, quickly walking to the outside grounds where, with a swish, she drew the Treasure Sword from her waist!

"Swiftly~" She formed a hand seal and commanded the Treasure Sword with a shout of ’Swiftly’, and the sword swiftly enlarged to the size of a small boat. The woman was the first to jump on it!

The Emperor was extremely excited, as his teacher was a sword immortal who could stand on a Flying Sword and travel thousands of miles in a day.

The old man and the burly man were not surprised since they were also cultivators. However, their speeds could not match their Sect Hierarch’s, so they could only stand on the immortally famed sword of the hierarch!

Indeed, the hierarch’s succession sword is the legendary Immortal Sword!

The group of four stood somewhat crowded on the sword, but as the woman formed another hand seal, the Flying Sword effortlessly lifted all four, transforming into a stream of light before disappearing.

The journey from the capital to Qingcheng was long, taking ordinary people several months by carriage, and even regular practitioners would fly for several days.

However, the Sect Hierarch’s Flying Sword could arrive at Qingcheng in just four hours, capable of making a round trip in a day.

Four hours later, Yusuf Zuck remained in a tavern drinking. Six or seven jars of wine lined the table, and over the four-plus hours, he had generally grasped the entire situation of Dayu star.

But Aubree Gould and Fatty hadn’t yet returned, as Yusuf noticed they were still shopping!

Women shopping are the most frantic; they wouldn’t return until they had visited every corner of the city.

And just four hours later, as Yusuf was slightly drunk, a sword light flying from the south caught his attention.

Others did not see the sword light from hundreds of miles away, but he saw it clearly.

"Mahayana!" Yusuf clicked his tongue: "Emperor, eunuch, guard!"

"They’ve come for me!" Yusuf shook his head; the empire really was enthusiastic, even sending the Emperor and Mahayana Hierarch!

In just a few minutes, the sword light landed silently in front of the tavern, causing a sensation and shock among the city’s inhabitants!

They didn’t recognize the Hierarch and the Emperor, but a Flying Sword carrying four people wasn’t something ordinary practitioners could achieve!

The woman sheathed her Flying Sword, exchanged a glance with the Emperor, and made her way upstairs.

Many guests in the corridor automatically made way, as they couldn’t afford to provoke such a Sword Immortal.

On reaching the fifth floor, the woman and the Emperor approached Yusuf’s table and bowed courteously.

"I am Emir Burch, greetings to the celestial being!"

"What?" Yusuf was befuddled, as there was no danger here, so he didn’t suppress his drink, often enjoying the light carefree feeling from alcohol!

"What’s your name?" Yusuf shook his head: "Lady White?"

Emir Burch frowned slightly upon hearing Yusuf call her Lady White. It was disrespectful as she was still an unmarried maiden; how could she be called lady?

"Celestial being, I am the Sect Hierarch of the Protective Country Divine Sect on Dayu star. I have come because I heard a celestial being like you visited our Dayu star." Emir Burch kept her composure, not getting angered, though she stood high in status, the person before her was beyond her understanding.

"Haha, nice name. And isn’t that the Emperor behind you? I can see that!"

"What?" There were other diners in the room, and upon hearing Yusuf refer to the Emperor, those diners were shocked, quickly kneeling, leading to sudden quiet on the fifth floor!

The Emperor was curious about how Yusuf discerned his identity but, respecting the Hierarch, remained silent!

"Indeed, this is the Emperor of the Dayu Empire, Yu Yan." Emir Burch introduced.

"Yu Yan greets the celestial being." The Emperor respectfully cupped his hands.

"Oh, you’ve arrived, please sit down, take a seat. What’s the matter? I’m just here for pleasure, intending to leave in a few days. I won’t cause trouble, won’t randomly kill, won’t rob Magic Treasures or resources, so why seek me out?" Yusuf curiously asked.

"This..." Emir Burch glanced at the other diners on the fifth floor!

The Emperor immediately understood and signaled the burly man and the old servant with a look!

The burly man and old servant quickly approached the diners, whispering, causing each guest to file out. Even the shopkeeper was driven away, with the old servant and burly man standing guard at the stairs!

"Hearing that a celestial being graced our Dayu star, the Emperor couldn’t be more honored, thus invited the State Preceptor Hierarch to join him in meeting the celestial being. The Emperor knows that celestial beings are of the Heavenly Realm, so mundane possessions are of no use to you. However, the Emperor still brings a rare treasure as a gift for the celestial being to appraise!" The Emperor spoke eloquently, presenting a crystal box, which he opened to reveal.

Inside was a piece of ice with a wisp of small flame, the Cold Fire of Ice, a type of Divine fire and the national treasure of the Dayu empire, their most precious rarity, offered for Yusuf to appraise, essentially meant as a gift.

"Cold Ice Bold Flame, not bad, but keep it, I don’t need it." Yusuf, having seen countless treasures, did not take the Cold Ice Bold Flame seriously!

Emir Burch and the Emperor were greatly surprised, realizing he truly was a celestial being, identifying the Cold Ice Bold Flame at a glance and not interested in retaining it!

"Well, say what you want, I’m just passing through here. I don’t like playing games, so speak plainly!" Yusuf straightforwardly said.
