Chapter 208 You are Xuan Du, then who am I?
"Xuan...du..."

Xue Xiaohei... No, he has changed his name to Xue Xuan. After all, the old name is not presentable, and "Hei" is equal to "Xuan", and he can also take advantage of the reputation of the ancient emperor Xuan Du to deepen his credibility as the "reincarnation of Xuan Du".

From this we can see that Xue Xuan attaches great importance to his own legitimacy.

So, when this letter signed by "Xuan Du" was delivered to him, he was a little confused.

After being stunned, I was frightened, and then suspicious:

He admitted that he was a little scared just now. After all, he was known as Xuandu. When he suddenly saw another Xuandu, his first reaction was "Oh no, the fake Li meets the real Li"!
This was incredible. As the last Heavenly Emperor of the mythological era, Xuandu’s reputation naturally needed no further explanation. His cultivation as a Golden Immortal was enough to easily control this fake emperor who deceived the world and stole his reputation...

But after being panicked, Xue Xuan changed his mind:
"No! If he is really Xuandu, why did the Heavenly Court perish?"

After thinking for a while, Xue Xuan made a judgment:
"This is definitely not the real Xuandu. It is probably some cultivator who is deceiving the world and stealing the name of Xuandu to make a profit..."

"As for declaring war..."

Xue Xuan hesitated for a moment, because he didn't dare to speculate what level of cultivation this other "Xuandu" had. What if he was stronger than himself?
So, as a precaution, he summoned the envoy from the other side...

[The messenger is not a true immortal, and when faced with the mysterious immortal energy you deliberately displayed, he immediately knelt down! ]

[Before you can say anything, the messenger kowtows repeatedly with snot and tears: We, your servants, deserve to die for not recognizing the true Emperor of Heaven in person! ]

[You suddenly find it funny: You said I am the real Heavenly Emperor, then what is your Heavenly Emperor? ]

[“Of course he is a lunatic who deceives the world and steals his reputation!”]

[I don’t know what kind of ideological struggle this envoy went through, but he insisted that you are the real Xuan Du, and the one from his family is a fake... I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If the emperor does not abandon me, I am willing to worship you as the master...]

[You curiously asked about the various situations in their country, and the envoy sold them state secrets without hiding anything.]

[After a while, you finally have a preliminary understanding of the so-called "Xuandu Heaven": this "Xuandu" is a celestial being who became an immortal about 3,000 years ago. After becoming an immortal, he claimed to have solved the mystery of the womb and said that he was the reincarnation of Xuandu! ]

[Under his force, although everyone did not believe him, they were forced to accept it, and thus respected him as the emperor and established the Heavenly Palace.]

[After he became emperor, his true colors were revealed. Not only did he levy heavy taxes and extort benefits from various blessed places, he also sold official positions and titles. As long as he was given enough resources to cultivate immortality, he would reward him with an official position.]

[After the official buyers obtained their positions, they also greedily exploited the ordinary monks, causing the monks to live in misery...]

[It has always been the case that only monks eat mortals, but I never thought that there would be true immortals who eat monks! ]

[And the fake emperor's outrageous actions did not stop there: in order to maintain his exclusive rule, he even forbade the monks under his rule to become immortals. Therefore, no matter how hard the monks practiced, they could only die of old age in grief and anger after being completely exploited by the fake emperor! ]

[In this way, the false emperor cultivated from a true immortal to the current celestial immortal, but his policies have not changed. He is still greedy and tyrannical. Even the cultivators under his rule are living in misery, not to mention the mortals...]

[After listening to the messenger's sorrowful cry, you were greatly surprised: It seems that there are smart people in this world! ]

[In the illusory fairyland, people only go there but never come back. Even if everyone has beautiful fantasies about it, there will always be people who feel uneasy and choose not to go there.]

[Some of these true immortals will choose to live in seclusion in the mortal world like Jing Xin did back then, neither going to the immortal world nor continuing to cultivate by eating humans, just living a rotten life. ]

[And the other part will completely break through the moral bottom line and continue to take the path of cannibalism to cultivate immortality, from true immortal to celestial immortal, or even mysterious immortal, golden immortal...]

[For example, this... this fake emperor! ]

[You almost immediately made a decision: This false emperor must be taken down as soon as possible, otherwise if he continues to grow, he will become a serious problem sooner or later! ]

[You made a decision in your heart, but your face remained unchanged. You just smiled at the messenger who was still complaining and expressing his loyalty: "So what do you think of my rule?"]

[The envoy was immediately startled and began to brag: Your Majesty has ruled the country, and the people along the way are numerous and the cities are prosperous. Everyone is full of yearning for the future...]

“There’s light in their eyes!”

[After praising the mortals, the messenger then started praising the monks: Your Majesty selects heavenly officials without bribery or buying and selling. Instead, they are all sent to heaven, and everyone has an official position and a salary... It is truly a paradise on earth! I am afraid that the ancient Jin Tiandi's rule was far inferior to yours! ]

【You laughed when you heard this, and then told him seriously: You are wrong. 】

[The envoy was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked cautiously: Is it possible that officials and titles are also sold under your rule? ]

[You smiled and shook your head. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, you said: I don’t sell official positions or titles here, but I do carry out purges from time to time, and the officials die very quickly!]

[The messenger broke out in a cold sweat.]

[“Also, you don’t allow cultivators to become immortals, but we don’t allow mortals to become immortals here. This is even more extreme than you.”]

[The messenger is sweating profusely...]

[He finally realized that you might not be the wise ruler he thought you were, but he still asked: After we defeat the false emperor, we cultivators can become heavenly officials, right? We don't ask for much, we just want to become immortals...]

[You smiled but said nothing, and the civil and military officials in the court also had strange expressions, as if they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.]

[The messenger finally collapsed. In desperation, he put forward his lowest request: Since it is not possible for everyone to become immortals, can our family in Dongtian become immortals? The wronged people in other Dongtian should just be allowed to die of old age! ]

[You sit on the throne and say to him seriously: No, I only know how to kill.] [Messenger: ...]

[You are too extreme!!!]

[The envoy was very emotional. After all, he came here to sell out his country. Essentially, he wanted to negotiate with you on behalf of the domestic monks. But your words "you can only kill people" completely made him lose his temper! ]

[You sighed, then summoned the Blood God Son, and forcibly performed a sacred "purification" on this traitor who had surrendered thousands of miles away...]

【"loyalty!"】

[“The Emperor of Heaven’s kindness is not over yet!”]

【“…”】

【very good. 】

[Looking at the fanatical messenger who learned everything on his own and kept shouting slogans, you smiled with relief...]

[Then, you directly mobilized 100,000 True Immortal Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, and with the surrendered envoy as a guide, you attacked the Pseudo-Emperor Heavenly Court! ]

[This battle is not only a war for you to capture cities and territories, but also a war for you to actively maintain your own legitimacy. ]

[One reincarnation of Xuandu in the world is enough! 】

【…】

[In the 526th year of the Heavenly Emperor, there was a false emperor who deceived the world and stole the name, and even dared to issue a declaration of war, which angered Emperor Xuantian! ]

[In order to maintain his reputation in his first life, Emperor Xuantian, who lived a second life, was furious and launched a just crusade against this "Li Gui" who pretended to be a god! ]

[Emperor Xuantian led the army in person with his Xuanxian cultivation, and led 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and galloped away at night...]

[In the 548th year of the Emperor of Heaven, Emperor Xuantian went on a long expedition to defeat the False Emperor and beheaded the audacious False Emperor in the Imperial Palace! ]

[After the false emperor died, Emperor Xuantian angrily beheaded all the officials of the false heaven, and then razed all the cave heavens and blessed places that helped the tyrant to commit atrocities, killing more than a billion cultivators below the level of True Immortal! ]

[The false emperor's heaven was completely uprooted! ]

【…】

[After annexing the old land of the Pseudo Heaven, your Heaven has once again grown stronger. According to calculations by the immortals using astrology, the land of Heaven is one hundred millionth the size of the Western Wasteland! ]

[In the 1,230 years since the Emperor of Heaven, under the strange speed-up buff brought to you by the crazy slaughter in the Heavenly Court, you, in your second reincarnation, have finally reached the fourth realm of the immortal path for the first time: the Golden Immortal!]

[The five elements of immortal energy are contained in the chest, circulating among each other continuously... and the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit are condensed and sublimated separately. The three are located on the top, as if nurturing something... The last bit of immortal gold nature is born in the primordial spirit...]

【Golden Immortal, accomplished! 】

[You slowly open your eyes. From the perspective of the Golden Immortal, the world seems to have changed: decayed, old, and inexplicably sad...]

[After sighing a little, you can’t help but feel scared about your progress! ]

[Although you don’t know how long it took to become a Golden Immortal in ancient times, it is definitely impossible for it to take only more than a thousand years. Such a fast progress will not only fail to bring you a sense of security, but will only make you feel more panic...]

[Just killing can speed up cultivation... What does this mean? ]

[There must be a human factor involved. Someone deliberately set up such an outrageous buff... Who is he? What is his purpose? ]

[You feel confused about this, and can't help but think of the two giant shadows in the sky that you saw at the end of your previous life. Your intuition tells you that the root of the problem lies with them...]

【…】

[Golden Immortal is an extremely powerful realm. Even in the ancient heavenly court, Golden Immortal was considered a middle-level figure... The power of Golden Immortal is mainly reflected in magic power, magical powers, etc., but the most intuitive manifestation is reflected in the speed of movement. ]

[Xuanxian below the Golden Immortal level can only fly, just like you did in your previous life. It took you thousands of years to fly from the Western Wasteland to the Central Plains, and you are so tired of flying.]

[When you reach the Golden Immortal level, you can teleport over a certain distance, greatly improving your travel efficiency. If you want to go to the Buzhou Mountain Immortal Realm now, it will take less than ten years! ]

[However, you obviously don’t want to go to the “Immortal Realm” again to die, because you already know that the Immortal Realm is just a scam. Once you enter, it is equivalent to facing the great power of a saint. You are just a golden immortal, and you will probably be refined in an instant...]

[Shaking your head, you choose to leave. ]

[But what you didn't expect was that not long after you came out of seclusion, your minister with a strange look on his face brought you another new letter, but this time it was not a letter from the country, but a letter written in a private name.]

[Signed: Jin Bing! ]

【you:……】
