Chapter 209: True and False Jin Bing, Netherworld Blood Sea
No, it’s not over yet, right?!
Looking at the two characters "Jin Bing" on the letter, Xue Xuan admitted that he almost couldn't hold it back:
Just a few hundred years ago, we eliminated a "Xuandu", and now another "Jinbing" appears... If you have the ability, keep climbing up, and you can also join Emperor Jun, the Six Saints, and even the Taoist Ancestor!
"It seems that since the myth faded, all parts of the prehistoric world have been in chaos..."
Xue Xuan sighed. Without mentioning other things, just from the fact that modern people are madly stealing the names of ancient people, it can be seen that without the Heavenly Palace, the ancient world can be said to be full of monsters and demons...
[Obviously, you don't think this letter was really written by the ancient emperor, but it is most likely a work by some fraud who wants to gain personal gain! ]
[What? You said I am also deceiving the world and stealing fame? ]
[What the protagonist of the game does cannot be considered stealing, it can only be considered "stealing"... Can what the protagonist does be considered stealing! ]
[After calming down your emotions, you opened this private letter with great interest, with the attitude of watching a “human star show”…]
[Just as you thought, this person always calls himself "Golden Heavenly Emperor" in his writings and speeches. You can't help but laugh as you see him talking nonsense in a serious manner.]
[But to your surprise, this pirated Jin Bing did not make any outrageous remarks that would make you kneel down and surrender, nor did he take any verbal advantage of you.]
[This surprised you a little, so you couldn't help but take it seriously and carefully read what this pirated Heavenly Emperor wanted to convey...]
[In the letter, he exposed your identity as the "reincarnation of Xuan Du" at the beginning, saying that he knew you were just using Xuan Du's name to do things, but seeing that you did not seek personal gain and governed the sentient beings under your rule well, he reluctantly and generously forgave your act of stealing the name.]
[Then, he warned you not to rush for success. Although killing people can increase the buff of cultivation, there are big problems. I am afraid it involves the secret of the saints’ struggle...]
[Seeing this, you are quite surprised: There are actually people who know the secret that killing people can speed up the cultivation of immortals?! ]
[You thought you were the only one who knew this, but you didn't expect that others also knew it... But if you think about it carefully, this secret may be a secret to newbies, but for Lao Deng who has been in the immortal world for a long time, this kind of thing can be found out with just a little experiment, it is not mysterious at all! ]
[Therefore, although you still don't believe that he is Jin Bing, you can't help but doubt his identity...]
[Reading further, he advises you not to break through to the Golden Immortal realm, because the prehistoric world has undergone drastic changes that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and even the most basic laws of heaven and earth have long been different. Once you break through to the Golden Immortal realm, you will encounter a heavenly calamity and return to heaven! ]
【you:???】
[Heavenly calamity? Return to heaven? ]
[You looked at your own Golden Immortal cultivation in a daze, and then looked up blankly, trying to find the so-called heavenly tribulation... but there were no clouds in the sky, nothing at all.]
[With confused thoughts, you look at the next paragraph, which is also the last paragraph of the letter: "If you still have questions, you can come to the Netherworld Blood Sea to discuss. I, the late emperor, Xuandu, and the disciples of the Holy Church such as Huanglong and Guangcheng are waiting for you..."]
【you:……】
[No, how come it looks so real? It's ok to have Jin Bing Xuan Du, but there's also the late Emperor Di Jun? There's even Guang Cheng Zi and Huang Long Zhenren, the second generation disciples of the saints' sects?! ]
[This looks more and more real! ]
[With all the members of the family who are suspected to be the real owner present, as a pirate, you... admit that you are a little weak...]
[Ding! Facing the information about the person in this letter, you feel indescribably panicked, fearing that your cover will be exposed, so you choose: (?)]
[A: Go, the letter looks more and more real. Just in case, I should go and ask. What if I can really get something? B: No, I don't believe it! This is definitely a trick of the evil. If I go, I might die!]
"You know how to be afraid, kid!"
Seeing Xue Xuan's rare guilty and panicked expression, Zhao Si curled his lips:
You hit the pirated Xuandu hard, but you were submissive to the genuine Jinbing. You are really bullying the weak and afraid of the strong...
"So, is this Jin Bing real?"
Zhao Si was also in a dilemma. This question was really difficult to answer. After all, there was not enough information at the moment, so he could only guess:
Theoretically speaking, as Jin Bing is Taiqing's first disciple and the leader of the third generation of Xuanmen, Taiqing will definitely protect him based on his relationship with the saint. Unless he directly angers Hongjun, Taiqing will have a chance to cut ties with him...
Therefore, it is quite reasonable that Jin Bing could live to the Dharma Ending Age.
But if this man is really Jin Bing, then based on his usual character, he would have rebuilt the Heaven Palace and saved all living beings from disaster long ago!
But the reality is that in the ancient times, cannibalism was everywhere and the times were extremely dark, but Jin Bing, the person who should have stood up and done something, did not make any move.
Therefore, Zhao Si personally believes that the "gold" content of this Jin Bing should be quite low...
But we can't say for sure, it could be true or false, but at the moment Zhao Si is more inclined to believe that he is a pirated version of Jin Bing.
"But then again, regardless of whether he is true or false, at least from this letter we can see that this person has more information than Xue Xuan, and therefore has extremely high value." Zhao Si thought carefully:
Although Xue Xuan gained a lot of information in a short period of time by restarting two lives, he lived too short a time after all, and he was completely in the dark about many details about ancient mythology and other related issues.
It's okay if you don't run into Lao Deng normally, but once you do, you'll immediately be put in a passive position due to the information gap...
"For example, a Golden Immortal would encounter a heavenly tribulation..."
This information made Zhao Si suspicious and scratch his head:
Theoretically speaking, if "Jin Bing" tried to gain Xue Xuan's trust, then as the first one-way communication between the two parties, "Jin Bing" could not lie. Only a true piece of news that was not afraid of being questioned could gain Xue Xuan's initial trust.
Therefore, this breaking news that “the Golden Immortal will suffer a heavenly calamity” should be true!
But... Xue Xuan is already a Golden Immortal, and he hasn’t seen the heavenly tribulation coming?
"If that [Jin Bing] hadn't done the incredible thing of lying right from the start, then there would only be one answer."
"That is, the information that the Golden Immortal will be doomed only works for people other than Xue Xuan, but is useless to Xue Xuan himself!"
And if this assertion is true, then there must be something special about Xue Xuan that allowed him to avoid the heavenly tribulation that was supposed to come. As for this special thing...
"Perhaps it's because of the spiritual energy, or perhaps it's because of the power of the wild, or perhaps it's because of the way of heaven or the river of Hades..."
Zhao Si confirmed some suspicious guesses, and then made up his mind after thinking:
"In any case, to solve these mysteries, we must go up and ask in person..."
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?
As for the possibility that Xue Xuan might be in danger because of this... don't panic, you can just start over if you die. Xue Xuan has long been accustomed to death!
"Choose A!"
[You choose option A. Go ahead. The more you read the letter, the more it looks real. Just in case, it’s better to ask. What if you really get something? ]
[You grit your teeth and decide to risk your life once and for all, to test the background of "Jin Bing" and to find out as much missing key information as possible.]
[After making up your mind, you immediately announced to all the ministers: I have decided to go and see that "Jin Bing" with my own eyes. During my absence, all government affairs will be entrusted to the Heavenly Master as usual.]
[If you encounter a problem that even the Heavenly Master cannot decide, then ask Jing Xin. Jing Xin's opinion can represent my opinion! ]
[As soon as you said this decree, all the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment at the two Taoists standing in the front row of the officials. One of them was wearing yellow clothes. He was the Heavenly Master, the old man who had supported you to become emperor and read your fortune.]
[The other person is a young and handsome Taoist in a plain robe, it is Jing Xin! ]
[In this life, he did not follow you to travel around the country and kill people, but still lived in seclusion in a mortal city...]
[Not long ago, you finally remembered this guy who once shared the same ideals as you, so you made a special trip to look for him. After finding him, you promoted him from a commoner to the head of an official, showing how special you were in your previous life! ]
[Faced with the favor of you, the Emperor of Heaven, Jing Xin, who was used to an ordinary life, was obviously a little overwhelmed. He had become a minister at the same level as the Heavenly Master without knowing it, so he was quite frightened. However, under your care, he gradually calmed down and officially entered the role.]
[However, he is, after all, a typical example of someone who rose to fame overnight, which often makes him regarded as a flatterer by officials. Everyone has almost equated him with the ancient Sun Star God...]
[And now, your words "Jing Xin's will is my will" have made everyone believe that he is the Sun Star Lord... But everyone complained in their hearts, but did not dare to say anything. Everyone obeyed the order, only the old Taoist priest in yellow clothes glanced at Jing Xin with disdain, which made him feel aggrieved...]
[You had no interest in caring about the struggles among the heavenly officials below. After arranging the government affairs procedures, you left the capital alone, carrying the letter and heading for the meeting place mentioned in the letter.]
[This place is: Netherworld Blood Sea! ]
【…】
[The Netherworld Blood Sea is a famous area in ancient mythology, but it is different from other famous mountains and rivers in that they are famous because some famous great supernatural being appeared in the area, or some great event happened there.]
[But the Netherworld Blood Sea is different. Although it has produced a great innate god at the peak of Quasi-Saint status, this great innate god has always been low-key and has neither positive nor negative deeds in public.]
[Even he and the Blood Sea had never been involved in the great tide of the great changes in the world. Even in the epic war between Emperor Jin Tian and the Wu Clan and the Supreme Heaven, no local war was fought around the Blood Sea.]
[After all, this place is notoriously bad. It has nothing here, and it is dirty and messy, like a cesspool. Apart from the locals, who would come here...]
[As time went by, even though the blood sea occupied a large area of the Western Wasteland and the indigenous masters were powerful enough, they were no longer remembered by most people.]
[But it is precisely because it is not remembered that many people remember it. When talking about the unknown areas in the prehistoric times, everyone's first reaction is this place... Because it is unknown, it is famous. The Sea of Blood is such a magical place! ]
[Of course, the Netherworld Blood Sea means much more to you than this, just because the native old otaku who was born here has now become a saint! ]
[As the hometown of saints, the Netherworld Blood Sea must be hiding all the clues you need. All the secrets of the Dharma Ending Age may be answered here...]
