for Advance Chapter
This temple is strange in every way.
Do not worship gods and Buddhas, only worship the Immortal Emperor Qiming.
Xiao Yuan's eyes were blazing. "Master Abbot, I'm quite interested in the word 'Ming Guang'. Could you please explain my doubts?"
Although the others felt that discussing an Immortal Emperor was inappropriate, since the princess asked, they did not dare to stop her.
Under the gazes and inquiries of the crowd, the old monk finally spoke slowly:
"Immortal Emperor Qiming..."
The figure was dry, and after saying four words, he fell into a long silence.
"How is the Immortal Emperor Qiming?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"When she was young," the old monk's eyes were lost in memories, and he murmured with his cracked lips, "She was as bright as the sun, as radiant as the rays of the setting sun!"
Xiao Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the Ninth Princess, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but restrain her casual expression and frowned slightly.
The old monk neither praised the peerless beauty of the Immortal Emperor Qiming nor spoke of her character and personality, nor did he mention her talents.
But it only took eight words to describe everything about the Immortal Emperor Qiming!
Before everyone's eyes, it seemed as if a dazzling being with brilliant light and invincible power appeared, just like the scorching sun in the sky. No amount of words could describe her.
"At that time, people called the young Immortal Emperor Mingguang Fairy."
The old monk's words shocked everyone except Princess Xiao Yuanjiu. The Immortal Emperor Qiming was actually a female emperor?!
"Reign: Qiming."
"…"
"Bold!!!"
The people in the hall were first surprised, and then several maids shouted at them. Bi He even cursed directly: "What a nonsense old monk! How dare you say that Emperor Qiming is from the royal family!"
If the old monk had not said that the person who once became the emperor of the human world was the Immortal Emperor Qiming, and that the Xuanyuan royal family had climbed up the ladder to marry the Immortal Emperor, that nonsense he had just said would be enough to cost him his head.
Xiao Yuan looked at the beautiful and noble Ninth Princess, only to see her eyes move slightly and the smile on her lips disappear, as if she was thinking about something.
"Old Abbot."
The Ninth Princess's voice was cold, "This princess has never heard that the Immortal Emperor Qiming's surname is Xuanyuan."
Everyone looked at the old monk kneeling on the cushion.
"The Immortal Emperor was born in a humble family, so he is naturally not from the Xuanyuan clan."
The Ninth Princess's face darkened and she sat in the gorgeous chair without saying a word.
"Then you, old fellow, also said that the Immortal Emperor had a reign title, and that it was Qiming?! What does that mean?" Bihe's voice became louder.
"The Immortal Emperor has indeed ascended the throne of the mortal world." The old monk answered her slowly.
"you!"
Bi He was so angry that she was shaking all over. She turned around and shouted to the outside, "Come in, arrest this old fellow, and kill his entire clan! How dare you slander the Qiming Immortal Emperor and the Xuanyuan Imperial Family at the same time? You, this old fellow who is full of nonsense, must be killed along with your entire clan!!"
The two powerful Soul Bright Realm masters were holding their breath, and dozens of pairs of eyes were looking at the old monk with murderous intent.
The Immortal Emperor Qiming's surname is not Xuanyuan, but he has ascended the throne of the mortal emperor. No one dares to even imagine what happened.
"Haha, exterminate all nine clans?"
The old monk's voice became vague and ethereal. "Whether the Xuanyuan Imperial Family could exterminate my nine clans, I don't know. However, the Qiming Immortal Emperor did kill eight clans of your Xuanyuan Imperial Family. The Jiuzhou Cauldron was forcibly shattered, and the emperor at the time was executed by the still young Qiming Immortal Emperor by slow slicing. His flesh and blood were distributed to the people of the world."
Everyone felt a chill running from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads. Their whole bodies were cold, their hands and feet were numb, and they didn't even dare to move.
The Immortal Emperor Qiming...had once killed a mortal emperor, tortured him to death, and then distributed the pieces of flesh to the people of the world?!
"You you you you!" Bihe stuttered in fear.
"Afterwards, the Xuanyuan Imperial Family was exterminated, leaving only a few still-weaned children. They were spared by the Immortal Emperor."
The old monk spoke indifferently, glancing at Xuanyuan Mingzhu with his cloudy eyes, "Otherwise, even if the Three Emperors were to descend again, your Xuanyuan royal family would not be able to prevent their genocide!"
"Crack!"
Xuanyuan Mingzhu scratched the armrest of the gorgeous chair, her dignified and beautiful face covered in frost. The words she spoke almost spitted out from between her teeth: "Old Abbot, do you know that talking nonsense can bring disaster to others?"
"Princess!" Tu Zihua, who was in the Soul Clear Realm, said coldly, "There's no need to talk to this old man. Let me test his foundation myself!"
The Ninth Princess did not say anything. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes narrowed into a line as she waited for the old monk's explanation.
Xiao Yuan could only remain silent at this time, but he was also full of curiosity. Was what the old monk said true?
"The little girl has a good temper. It seems that the Xuanyuan royal family has indeed changed a lot."
The old monk smiled creepily, glanced at Xiao Yuan, and then slowly said, "Since you two are destined to be together, I will tell you the story of the Immortal Emperor Qiming tonight, so that you will... remember it."
The old monk spoke the word "remember" vaguely, as if he didn't dare to say it out loud.
The Ninth Princess waved her hand and the guards who had entered the hall retreated again.
The old monk did not speak for a long time. I wonder if he was recalling something.
Xiao Yuan asked, "Master Abbot, could you please start explaining to us juniors what exactly happened when the Immortal Emperor was in the mortal world?"
"What happened? That's a really...long time ago."
The old monk cast his gaze towards the tablet of the Immortal Emperor Qiming, his expression growing increasingly desolate and sad. He began to narrate slowly, "The Immortal Emperor was born a hundred thousand years ago, and his honorable name has long been unknown to anyone."
"She came from a humble background, growing up in a mountain village. As a child, she herded cattle for a living and didn't even know what cultivation was. Whenever she saw cultivators flying over the village on flying swords or magical artifacts, the young Immortal Emperor would involuntarily cheer. That was the happiest time for her."
Xiao Yuan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. The Immortal Emperor Qiming actually had such a miserable time? Wasn't this exactly his current situation?
The Ninth Princess smiled calmly, "And then? You want to tell me about the story of the five great immortal sects recruiting disciples, and the Immortal Emperor Qiming's soaring to the sky with his supreme talent?"
"This story is indeed interesting, no worse than those novels written by scholars and young ladies!" Bihe also said sarcastically.
The old monk glanced at them, shook his head and said, "No, in the past, the immortal sects never recruited disciples from among the common people."
"Ridiculous!" the old woman in the Soul Enlightenment Realm scolded, "Those with natural spiritual roots can also appear among mortals. Compared to obtaining a disciple with natural spiritual roots, the trouble of testing spiritual roots is not worth mentioning at all!"
The old monk did not answer and continued, "When he was seven years old, the Immortal Emperor learned a set of body techniques from a cultivator flying by on a sword. He also created several exquisite sword techniques using tree branches. He practiced them every day and used them to herd cattle. They were very useful."
When everyone heard this, they didn't know how to react.
Just by watching immortal cultivators flying with swords, one can learn a set of body techniques? And even create a sophisticated sword technique on one's own, just to herd cattle?
With this kind of amazing talent, if one were in the five major sects today, they would have already sent out all their Dao Yun realm masters to compete for this unparalleled genius who has been overlooked!
"Afterwards, the two fighting immortal cultivators happened to fight outside the village, leaving behind a lot of traces."
"The Immortal Emperor was so delighted upon seeing this that he lost his appetite and forgot about food or tea. After several days of observation, spiritual energy spontaneously emerged, and a congenital spiritual fetus was formed."
"impossible!!"
Bi He screamed, "Just by looking at the traces of a battle, he went from a mortal to the Spirit Embryo Realm in one fell swoop?! Even the Immortal Emperor can't do that!! You old monk are talking nonsense again!"
Xiao Yuan never closed his mouth.
Is this the appearance of the Immortal Emperor?
Everyone was already surprised enough at this moment, but the old monk's calm narration afterwards made them so shocked that they were speechless.
"Three years later, a member of the Six Paths Sect - the Animal Path - came to the village and planned to feed the Gu worms with over a thousand people. The Immortal Emperor drew his sword in anger and killed him with a single blow."
"After that, the Six Paths disciples came to find him and killed him, achieving the state of God and leaving the realm."
"...The Immortal Emperor, sword in hand, left the mountain and traveled across the Nine Provinces, witnessing firsthand the suffering of the people of the time."
"The emperor is incompetent and has not attended court for a hundred years. The entire court is filled with civil and military officials who are idle and idle, and disasters are frequent."
"The nine great immortal sects, with millions of cultivators and over a thousand Dao Yun realms, either cultivate in seclusion, ignoring the suffering of mortals, or collude with the Nine Provinces' royal family, collecting taxes in various forms even after a hundred years of death, even after becoming ghosts. Or they collude with the Six Paths Sect, appearing benevolent but secretly cruel, feasting on the lives of the living."
"Many demons in the Six Paths Sect are rampant. They often sacrifice and train magical insects, condensing the so-called sword and knife will, and slaughtering cities and ponds."
"The Immortal Emperor traveled with his sword, but he could not stop slaying evildoers. Furious, he went to the capital and entered the palace at night, only to find Emperor Xuanyuan using wine as a pool and meat as a forest, drinking all night long.
When questioned with a sword, the emperor replied: "Mortals are like locusts in the fields. As long as the spirits of the immortals are unceasing, so too will the mortals. Why should we get angry over such insignificant things? Why not drink with me?"
At this point, the old monk finally paused, glanced at everyone, and continued, "Emperor Xuanyuan used the Jiuzhou Ding. The divine power of the mortals in the world was actually used by this foolish emperor to repel the Immortal Emperor with a single blow!"
Xiao Yuan had no idea what to say.
The legendary Jiuzhou Ding was cast by Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan. It can unite the faith of all creatures in Jiuzhou, suppress all demons and monsters, and make the capital city impregnable. It is also the foundation for the Xuanyuan royal family to hold the jade seal and rule the people!
Not to mention the Qiming Immortal Emperor of Yun Realm, even if an immortal came down to earth, he would not be able to kill the emperor of the Xuanyuan clan while the Jiuzhou Ding was still there!
