Chapter 89 The Truth About the Immortal
On the top of the green mountain, Su Chen was pulling weeds at the graves of his two old friends. He had not been there for a long time.
About nine years.
He couldn't remember clearly.
far away.
There was a black-sailed boat, swaying and coming towards the shore, and an old figure with a bent back was waiting at the island.
As he walked, he came to the top of the green mountain, in front of Jie's new grave.
He had anticipated Jie's death, but he felt caught off guard.
"Jie, he's a good kid."
An old voice sounded.
"Yes."
"He's a good kid."
"Really? It almost fooled me."
Su Chen pulled out the dry grass in front of the grave, looked at Jie's grave, but quickly looked away.
In the coffin, Jie's corpse was smiling, and a nine-petal lotus as black as ink grew out of it.
"So, I only killed him in this life."
"One life, all grudges are cleared."
"Maybe we can meet again in the next life, or maybe there won't be a next life."
Su Chen stood up.
Behind him, the old figure was silent.
"you know?"
"The Ten Absolute Immortal Arts are the unique arts handed down from the sky. They are unrivaled in the world, rare in the world, and unique in the human world."
"Only the royal families of Zhou and Liang, as well as powerful ancient immortals and ancient masters, know the details of the Ten Absolute Techniques. How do you know this?"
In this world, the only things that can reach the pinnacle of mastery are the Ten Ultimate Immortal Arts.
Each of the Ten Supreme Immortal Arts is unique in the world. In an era, only one person can practice it to perfection and master this Ten Supreme Immortal Arts.
Jie not only has a mountain of weapons and armor, he also has another magical skill, ten reincarnations.
The Three Corpses Technique, the Ten Bodies, and the Spirit Embryo Technique.
Known as the three most powerful survival techniques.
Su Chen had read Liang Taizu's memories, so he was naturally familiar with these ten unique skills.
Jie is dead.
Not dead either.
After ten reincarnations, if he can break the confusion in the womb, then he will still be Jie. If not, then he will not be Jie anymore.
After ten lives, if the body remains intact, a nine-petal lotus will be born. If one does not wake up in one life, one petal will wither. When nine petals wither, the soul will be destroyed.
If there are others who can break through the confusion in their wombs in ten lifetimes and directly reach the top, the rest will all die.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Su Chen is asking.
"For the sake of all the people in the world, please make me emperor."
An old voice sounded slowly.
He bowed to Su Chen and bowed deeply.
As for Su Chen, he was still weeding, as if he didn't hear these words. He didn't get angry either. He just bowed all the way without moving, waiting for Su Chen's reply.
Since his arrival, Su Chen has never looked at him.
The third year of Xuanlong.
Su Chen went to find him, holding the imperial edict of the previous emperor, wanting to make him emperor, but he was dismissive and did not take him, the Wind and Snow Sword Immortal, seriously.
now.
He came, begged him, and made him emperor.
Yes.
He is Long Xuanjun.
After being defeated by a sword, he became old and decadent. He lived alone in a simple black-sailed boat above the river above the imperial mausoleum, and never went near the imperial city again.
then.
He was high-spirited.
The first grandmaster born in the world swallowed the first dragon energy gushing out of the mountains and rivers, and he has hope in the future even if he is innate.
pity.
I still met this wind and snow sword fairy.
The sword broke the bone.
No more spirit.
He stopped at the level of a post-natal master and could not make any further progress.
"why?"
a long time.
Su Chen asked.
"For the Great Zhou!"
Long Xuanjun's words were only met with Su Chen's sneer.
Perhaps he was sneering at Long Xuanjun's choice back then.
Perhaps he was sneering at Long Xuanjun's current delusion.
"why?"
Su Chen was still asking.
"For all people!"
Su Chen stopped sneering, but didn't even look at him. He just kept asking the same question.
"There are countless heroes in the world, and they all turn into dragons when they meet the wind. Why should I support you?"
"..."
Long Xuanjun was silent.
But, the world fell apart.
After all, he was still a member of the royal family of the Great Zhou and could not sit idly by.
Didn't get the answer I wanted.
he's gone.
Su Chen called him and said.
"You know, the times now are no longer the same as before."
“Even if you swallowed the first breath of mountain and river dragon energy and reached the third realm, and your body is like a dragon, you may not be able to stop the chaos of the world…”
Long Xuanjun stopped, revealing his old face, broken spine, and eyes without spirit.
He didn't look back.
Hunched body.
Just asking.
"Mr. Su, is your ambition to protect the people still there?"
"I still have mine."
"It's just that we are protecting the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"They say that the Heavenly Palace is heartless, but that is my home..."
"I don't want to be an emperor. I made the wrong choice twice. The first time led to the death of Uncle Xuanlong and the murder of Prince Yan. The second time led to the death of Jie. Today, the Great Zhou is in turmoil."
"If I had agreed to your request in the third year of Xuanlong, maybe the ending would have been different."
"Mr. Su, perhaps, in your eyes, Long Xuan has always been the cowardly boy who kowtowed like crazy in Lianghuang City back then..."
"but now……"
Long Xuanjun turned around, his eyes, which had been silent for many years, were now bursting with energy, and his broken spine seemed to stand up again.
"If I die, what's there to fear?"
"Hahaha!"
he's gone.
Laughing.
No longer looks old.
He was like a dragon, stepping on the waves of the river, with his hands behind his back, heading straight for the chaotic imperial city.
Once he leaves, he will travel all over the world and may never come back.
That's it.
never come back.
Just as he said, it's just death, what's there to be afraid of.
"The royal family of the Great Zhou is full of heroes."
"only."
"I am from Liang!"
Su Chen was sighing.
He didn't look at Long Xuanjun. All he was looking at was the black-sailed boat.
there.
There was a woman with a graceful figure, and she was also looking at Su Chen.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
She was the female musician of the King of Qi.
But, she was not the female musician of the King of Qi.
Su Chen looked at her.
a long time.
She spoke.
"Do you know what this world is like? This world is actually..."
What is she narrating?
He also wanted to test something.
Su Chen frowned, listened attentively, and became interested in what she said.
only.
Even with Su Chen's great background, the Wind and Snow Sword Immortal couldn't hear what she was saying at all, and couldn't even tell by her lip movements.
It was as if some divine secret had erased the words spoken by the Princess of Qi, as if they did not exist in this world at all.
Secret of heaven.
It’s similar to the secret that hides the difference between immortals and mortals.
But, this is another secret.
This sentence contains a big secret, which deceives the mortal world. Even if he is comparable to the innate and kills a Qi-cultivating immortal, he is still a mortal world.
"really……"
"How can this be?"
"Such a being would have been a terrifying immortal with amazing talent even in the Great Yu era, an existence that no one could ignore. Yet..."
The female musician of the King of Qi, as if she had verified something, her body shook violently, and an unprecedented shock appeared in her eyes.
Even if she had witnessed with her own eyes that sword that was comparable to the innate power, she still didn't feel so shocking or so terrifying.
"You can't hear a single secret of the human world. You are not a Qi-cultivating immortal, and you don't even have spiritual roots. You are a cultivator in the human world, and you are not even a Grandmaster."
"But how could you be just a first-class rank..."
The King of Qi and his female musicians turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Ok?"
A dangerous light flashed in Su Chen's eyes. He wanted to touch the sword, but before he could draw it out, the Xichen Sword made a clear sound.
Completely shattered.
Look again.
There is no trace of this Princess Qi.
"Let her run away."
Su Chen felt a little regretful.
just.
Somewhat strange.
The wordless book given to him by the Dayu Library contained a vast amount of content, but there was no record of anything in it.
Only then did Su Chen feel strange.
It doesn’t matter that there are no historical documents from the Tianyue era.
Why? There is not even a complete map of the human world...
In this world, even the demon emperor of Daliang who existed for three hundred years only knew that there were Zhou and Liang in the world.
On one side of the human territory is endless mountains, and on the other side is the boundless sea.
The mountain is called the Demon Mountain Range.
The sea is called the Endless Sea.
"What is the secret of the human world that she mentioned that can trigger the erasure of the heavens?"
In the distant imperial city, a war broke out. The ancient masters rushed into the palace, burning, killing and looting, looking for the inheritance of the ten unique magic skills and mountains of weapons in the hands of Emperor Jie.
Ten unique magic techniques.
It is the pinnacle of achievement in this world!
Don’t say that Ya is innate.
Even if there is a Xiantian here, he would still kill for this inheritance.
But they didn’t know that even if they obtained the Ten Ultimate Immortal Arts and the inheritance of mountains of weapons and armor, it would be completely useless.
at this time.
In Su Chen's body, Qi and blood blended together, and a power like that of a Qi-cultivating immortal was born again.
There is a crystal of magic condensed.
Su Chen took out an ordinary wooden sculpture from his palm.
moment.
The wood carving flew out of his hand and swelled in the wind, transforming into a wooden giant that vaguely seemed to be able to compete with the first-class ones.
And this is just an ordinary wood carving.
Switch to a more powerful carrier.
The magical methods will become stronger.
If it were a top-notch corpse refiner, with the help of a mountain of weapons and armor, it would be easy to unleash the combat power of a master.
"I have become a mountain of weapons and armor."
On top of the mountain.
Su Chen stood and looked at the imperial city in the distance.
The only one of the Ten Ultimate Immortal Techniques.
In an era, only one person can reach the top, control and possess these ten unique magic skills.
Su Chen succeeded and even reached the top.
It's destined to happen.
Even if other ancient masters reached this level, they would never be able to master this art of weapons and armor as heavy as a mountain.
This is also the reason why Yu Le, who was thousands of miles away from the imperial city, was so anxious and rushed into the imperial city at a high speed when he realized that someone had mastered the third level of the art of seeking a title and ascending to immortality.
He, the evil magician of Dayu who had reached the top of the mountain and possessed the ability to become an immortal, was inexplicably overtaken by a newcomer and kicked off the mountaintop.
How could he not be anxious?
This is one of the Ten Ultimate Immortal Techniques!
"By the way, it's time for Yu Le to leave."
Su Chen was staggering.
Walking on the streets of the Imperial City and looking at the street corners, there are more and more, and more and more urgent, contact signals from Heiyuan.
During this period, Heiyuan was almost going crazy searching for him, the Black Lotus Saint, but Su Chen never paid any attention to him.
obviously.
Seeing the ancient masters reviving one after another, the ancestor who was sealed in the Black Abyss began to get anxious.
"Two ounces of pig's head."
The outer quarter of the imperial city.
The braised pork restaurant was doing business as usual, with no impact at all, as if the person who was murdered that night was not the emperor.
"Doctor Xu, please take it."
The owner of the braised meat restaurant was a slightly plump bald man. He wrapped the meat in lotus leaves and handed it to Su Chen with a smile.
Over the years, Su Chen has become his regular customer.
In the inner room, his wife was braising pork offal. She was sweating profusely, but her face was full of smiles.
There were also little kids using charcoal to write and draw on the ground, learning literary words and writing sentences.
This is a relatively happy family of three.
Along the way, unlike the inner city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was filled with dignitaries and gloomy atmosphere as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, the ordinary people in the outer city seemed not to take the death of the emperor seriously.
Su Chen couldn't help it, he asked.
"The emperor has passed away, and the world is in chaos. I see that all the dignitaries in the city are worried. Why are you..."
Su Chen is asking.
"I am Liang Min, born in the Tianwu year. In just thirty years, I have seen too many emperors fall, but I still managed to get through this."
"not to mention."
"This emperor was beheaded by the Wind and Snow Sword Immortal. There must be a reason for his beheading! Daliang has the Wind and Snow Sword Immortal, who protects diligent people like us. What do ordinary people like us have to worry about..."
"No matter how chaotic it gets, can it be more chaotic than the time when the Demon Flame Emperor massacred the Liang people and wiped out their entire clan?"
The owner of the braised meat shop is laughing.
He is already very satisfied as long as he is alive and has a family of three living in peace.
Su Chen left.
The meat in his hand suddenly felt heavy.
just.
This time, I am afraid that the hopes of the Liang people will be disappointed.
What he needed was a great chaos to give birth to a powerful ruler, crush the divisions between Zhou and Liang, and establish a brand new dynasty.
Instead of Zhou enslaving Liang, or Liang living alone in the Central Plains.
He is from Liang!
He will try his best to protect Liang Min.
But that's all.
that's it.
Carrying two taels of pork head, Su Chen ran again, bought a bottle of Bairu wine on the street, and staggered back to the clinic.
Pushing open the door of the clinic, Su Chen was stunned.
I saw the sloppy Yu Le eating roast chicken, fatty fish, and several empty jars of Bairu wine on the table where he dried herbs.
The little turtle was leaning against the water tank, looking at Yu Le, saliva constantly flowing from the corners of its mouth, and the whole turtle was crying with greed.
"..."
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
"Eat something?"
Yu Le waved the braised pork elbow in his hand.
"You, haven't left yet?"
Su Chen looked at him with disgust.
Subsequently.
react.
"and many more."
"Where did you get the money to buy wine and meat..."
Su Chen realized something and went to the medicine cabinet. Sure enough, it was empty.
Many medicinal herbs are gone.
Fortunately.
It's not a precious medicinal material.
The most important few exotic flowers and plants were still in the form of rhizomes and were not worth much, so they were not sold.
"I am Yu Le, the Great Yu Magic Immortal. When the Immortal comes, I will grant you the best opportunity..."
"Although you have mediocre talent and are just an ordinary mortal, I believe that with my guidance, you can at least become a high-level Qi training immortal in the future!"
Yu Le patted Su Chen's shoulder with his greasy hands and boasted.
Su Chen stepped back in disgust.
He was really confused. Was this Great Yu Shuxian really the Great Yu Shuxian? How could he not look like him at all?
During the Dayu period, there were three terrifying immortals who had reached the top of the Qi training path and mastered the ten ultimate immortal arts. They were known as the Three Immortals of Dayu.
There is an evil sorcerer who created a unique way to prolong life, there is a terrifying alchemy immortal who invented a longevity elixir made from human blood, and there is a mysterious sword immortal who overlooks the world.
"What does this world look like?"
Su Chen thought of the secret of the human world that triggered the mysteries of heaven, raised his eyes to look at Yu Le, and hinted at it.
"What do you think the human world is like?"
Yu Le's heart tensed, as if he was wondering why a mortal would ask such a question that actually pointed directly to the secrets of the human world.
The heaven and earth have their will, fooling all living things. Even a master will not think about what this world is like without anyone to remind him.
This ordinary doctor he met by chance was quite interesting. He first understood the resentment of the people, and then he understood the secrets of the world...
If he didn't know clearly that Doctor Xu in front of him was just an insignificant mortal among insignificant mortals, he would have thought that this was the resurrected ancient immortal.
"Is the sky round and the earth square, or an elliptical ball?"
Su Chen is answering.
"So you don't know anything."
Yu Le felt relieved now.
Anyway, the secret is blocked by heaven, so it doesn't matter even if he tells the mortal in front of him, he continued to narrate.
"What do you think Xianlin is?"
"Is this world really the human world? Is it possible that this world is imperfect, like the world in the palm of your hand, a candle burning or a pearl embellishing a treasure in the real human world?"
"The immortals in the outside world may call this place a secret realm, a cave, or a blessed land."
"Perhaps they will call us the natives of the Ruins Cave Heaven..."
boom!
Su Chen's pupils trembled.
This time, he heard it, because his Qi and blood were blending and transformed into the special power of a Qi-training immortal again.
At this moment, he is a Qi-cultivating immortal.
Because I was prepared.
So, he heard everything clearly.
A great immortal fell and turned into a human being.
It turned out to be the case.
hiss!
Everything is clear.
No wonder, when practicing in the human world, the first level can borrow the vast power of nature, and the master is on par with ghosts and gods, controlling the power of heaven and earth.
There is also the Qi training like an immortal and the Ten Ultimate Immortal Arts, which are terrifying powers that are like real immortal arts.
It turns out that this place is incomplete, there is no reincarnation, it is not the real human world, but just a secret realm, a cave, a blessed land...
Perhaps, it is just some treasure, a burning candle, and the gems adorning it.
“So this is the truth of the world.”
“No wonder, practicing Qi can lead to becoming an immortal, and once you reach the top of Qi practice, there is no other way to becoming an immortal; no wonder people live to be a hundred years old, and grandmasters are no exception, and Qi practice immortals are no exception.”
“No wonder the Three Corpses Technique, the Ten Lifetime Bodies Technique, and the Spirit Embryo Technique were created. These ten ultimate immortal arts that can reverse life and death and create immortality are truly immortal arts…”
"I even suspected that there is no reincarnation in the human world, so it is particularly easy for the living to revive. It turns out to be true. The sky is broken and the earth is incomplete. It is not the real human world at all, so how can there be reincarnation..."
"The so-called immortal arrival."
"It is the true immortal cultivator from the human world who has arrived..."
At this moment, Su Chen understood everything.
He was silent.
Looking towards the imperial palace, at the bottom of the Dengtian Tower, there is an ancient bronze door in the abyss.
The monster named Xiao was mad and still repeating those words.
"My name is Xiao."
"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary talent. Are you interested in following me to cultivate to the ultimate realm?"
a long time.
It seemed like it wanted to wake up, with a hint of clarity in its eyes, and it was struggling in pain.
"Only the ultimate state can allow this world to merge with the human world. Otherwise, the catastrophe will destroy everything..."
"time is limited……"
But in this abyss, no one could hear his reminder, and no one could believe the words of a monster.
soon.
Xiao turned into a crazy monster again, repeating the same sentence.
"juvenile……"
