for Advance Chapter
The Ninth Princess' eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered something.
"What happened next?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask. He was really curious about how the Qiming Immortal Emperor of Daoyun Realm broke the Jiuzhou Cauldron and executed the emperor by slow slicing!
"after."
The old monk's voice was filled with an inexplicable murderous intent: "The severely injured Immortal Emperor, filled with grief and anger, transformed into a divine sword. After ten years of seclusion, the sword's will remained concentrated and steadfast. When he emerged from seclusion, all Dao Yun realms in the world opened their eyes."
Excalibur?!
Xiao Yuan knew that it was definitely not a physical sword, but a burst of anger from the Immortal Emperor that was integrated into the sword intent, transforming into an indestructible sword.
"What happens next?" Xiao Yuan's voice trembled, as if he saw a rising peerless female sword god who was about to break the mountains and rivers with a sword and sweep away all the evil people in the turbid world.
"After that? Hehehehe."
The old monk's tone revealed an inexplicable sense of pleasure, and Xiao Yuan could understand him.
"What happens next?" the Ninth Princess asked coldly.
"The Immortal Emperor emerged from seclusion, sword in hand, and killed fifty-eight Dao Yun Realm cultivators and five hundred and sixty-five Hun Ming Realm cultivators from the Six Paths Sect. He then slashed the Six Paths Sect's mountain gate in the mortal world with a single sword strike!"
"good!"
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands in exclamation.
"Impossible!!" The old woman in the Soul Bright Realm couldn't help but scream, "The Saintess of the Six Paths Sect is a disciple of the six demon lords of the Netherworld. Who dares to kill her?!"
"Saintess?" The old monk laughed. "Before the Immortal Emperor chased her to the Ghost Gate, he cut off their head right under the noses of the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons and the Black and White Impermanence's projections. He destroyed her soul with his sword, then shattered the two ghost generals' shadows. With one strike of his sword, there was no Ghost Gate in the mortal world anymore!"
Everyone was terrified.
The old monk laughed heartily and said, "After the battle, the three realms were shaken. The Immortal Emperor wielded the divine sword again and slaughtered the nine major immortal sects one by one, killing hundreds of Dao Yun realm masters. The blood of the masters of the three realms of Dao filled the mortal world for three months and did not dissipate. This forced the immortal world to temporarily open the path to immortality, allowing Dao Yun realm masters to ascend to immortality without the need for heavenly tribulation.
The Immortal Emperor, however, held his sword in front of the Feixian Dao and single-handedly fought against all Dao Yun Realm experts who wanted to ascend, forcing the two Immortal Kings to personally take action and repel the Immortal Emperor through the boundary gate. Only then were those Dao Yun Realm experts able to escape into the Immortal Realm.
You can hear a pin drop in the hall.
Words could not describe the shock in their hearts. Even the Ninth Princess was overwhelmed by the brilliant and glorious battle record of the Immortal Emperor Qiming.
"After this," the old monk looked at the princess of the Xuanyuan royal family, "the Immortal Emperor named himself Qiming and abolished the Xuanyuan clan's mandate to rule the Nine Provinces on behalf of Heaven. Princess Xuanyuan, do you know what this means?"
Everyone looked at the Ninth Princess, their eyes filled with horror.
"…If the people lose their hearts, the Nine Provinces will be destroyed." The Ninth Princess replied in a low voice.
"That's right," the old monk said calmly. "Having lost the support of the people, the Jiuzhou Ding was powerless. Yet, Emperor Qiming didn't rush to the capital. Instead, he diligently governed the country, bringing order to the empire. Only after the people had won over her did she lead all the officials and soldiers who followed her into the capital, capture the Xuanyuan clan's emperor, sentence him, and execute him by slow slicing as a warning to the world."
Everyone was speechless.
"Ten years later." The old monk's tone turned dejected. "Immortals descended to the mortal world, demons emerged from the abyss, the emperor was enraged, and he and his virtuous ministers slew both immortals and demons."
Xiao Yuan was surprised.
By then, the Qiming Emperor was already invincible in the mortal world, right? With the Celestial Realm and the Netherworld unable to send powerful immortals, the Qiming Emperor could roam freely in the mortal world, fearless of any immortal. Why did the old monk feel so lost?
But on second thought, Emperor Qiming in the mortal world would definitely not be able to become the Immortal Emperor, and she would inevitably enter the Netherworld or the Immortal World in the future. However, she had already offended both worlds, killed the Saint Maiden of the Six Paths Sect, and killed the Dao Yun Realm of the Nine Immortal Sects. Once she ascended to heaven or became a demon, she would be killed by the Demon King or the Immortal King.
How to break the deadlock?
"Ten years later, the Immortal Emperor disappeared. A hundred years later, the Qiming Immortal Emperor had become a Demon Lord of the Six Paths Sect."
Everyone was a little numb at this point, and nothing the Immortal Emperor Qiming did was surprising.
"What happened next?" Xiao Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Immortal Emperor Qiming ruled the Netherworld, invaded the Immortal Realm, and became the co-lord of the three realms of immortal, mortal, and netherworld?"
Maid Bi He wanted to scream, but it was impossible. As the ruler of the Three Realms, who would dare to talk about the Qiming Immortal Emperor now? And why was the Xuanyuan Imperial Family...
"...Yes." The old monk nodded slightly, his wrinkled face lacking much joy. "After killing the previous Immortal Emperor, the Qiming Immortal Emperor suddenly became depressed and secluded himself. A hundred years later, he committed suicide... and died, leaving behind only a sigh: How unfair is the way of heaven."
"…"
The sudden and bizarre ending caused everyone to fall into silence for a long time.
"It's a good story." The Ninth Princess regained her composure and smiled faintly, saying, "If it weren't for the last part about the Immortal Emperor committing suicide, I would have almost believed it."
Xiao Yuan's eyelids twitched. Those who obtained the residual soul of Emperor Qiming should have known that the Emperor committed suicide, right?
This Ninth Princess really knows how to lie with her eyes open.
"The princess is right!" Bi He clapped her hands and glared at the old monk. "You old fellow are truly despicable. You couldn't have made up a better story. If the Qiming Immortal Emperor was truly the ruler of the Three Realms and had no enemies in the world, why would she have committed suicide? You're making up stories about an Immortal Emperor like this. Be careful if the people from the Five Major Immortal Sects hear about it. They'll burn the coffin you prepared for your funeral and leave you with no place to be buried!"
The old monk sighed without saying a word, closed his eyes, and struck the wooden fish with a wooden mallet. Amid the sound of "dong dong dong", he muttered in a low voice, "Why is the way of heaven unfair?" "What is the way of heaven?" "Since the way of heaven is unfair, why not change the fate?" It can be seen that these questions have been lingering in his mind for a long time.
Everyone was shocked by the story and remained silent for a while.
After a long while, the Ninth Princess began to talk to herself, "The Immortal Emperor Qiming has spent his life killing people, but in the end, nothing has changed. My Xuanyuan clan is still the royal family, the Three Realms are still divided into immortals, mortals, and the netherworld. Mortals cannot cultivate immortality, and immortals are high and mighty. The six realms of reincarnation are controlled by the devil. Nothing has changed. Old Abbot, since you know the Immortal Emperor Qiming so well, can you tell me about him, the Immortal Emperor, who wielded his sword to kill countless people and overturned the Three Realms? What has changed after a hundred thousand years?"
The beating of the wooden fish stopped, and the old monk trembled all over, as if he was afraid of this question.
"You can't say that!"
Xiao Yuan began to speak, "Before the Qiming Immortal Emperor, the people lived in poverty. The Emperor Xuanyuan... at that time was cruel and inhumane, and the immortal sect refused to accept mortals. But after the Qiming Immortal Emperor, there have been many wise rulers, the people have lived and worked in peace, and mortals have the hope of becoming immortals. Even if no one in the world remembers the Qiming Immortal Emperor, I believe that the immortal world and the netherworld must have learned their lesson and dare not interfere in the mortal world anymore. For mortals, this is enough!"
The Ninth Princess turned her head to look at him, and for the first time she looked at Xiao Yuan with a scrutinizing gaze, a strange color flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"For mortals, this is enough? Yes, for mortals, everything the Immortal Emperor has done is enough!!"
He first asked himself a question, then answered it himself. The old monk's eyes suddenly lit up, and a powerful aura surged from his body, soaring into the sky, shocking the two Soul Bright Realm masters present and making their faces change. They all looked at him in surprise.
"Hahahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!" The old monk laughed out loud, and the wooden fish in his hand broke in two. He stood up and bowed to the spirit tablet of Emperor Qiming. He laughed heartily and said, "Immortal Emperor, your goal has never changed. You have spent your whole life working for mortals, killing immortals and demons, and ascended the throne of the Immortal Emperor without any regrets. Your goal has been achieved, and life and death are no longer important!"
Bihe opened her mouth, her face full of shock.
I had a completely unsure guess before, but now I can be sure: this old monk actually knows the Immortal Emperor Qiming!
"Old...Senior, who are you?" The Ninth Princess looked surprised and doubtful.
"General Xianhe, under the command of Emperor Qiming!"
The old monk nonchalantly announced his name and looked at Xiao Yuan with a burning gaze: "Since you, little brother, have seen through the Immortal Emperor's intentions and have met me tonight, then we are destined to be together. I will grant you an opportunity. If you become an immortal or a demon in the future, I hope that you can revive the Immortal Emperor's deeds in the chaos of the world!"
After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Yuan's response, the Great General Xianhe stretched out a finger and touched Xiao Yuan's forehead in mid-air. An inexplicable magical wave surged into it. The residual soul of the Immortal Emperor Qiming in Xiao Yuan's sea of consciousness slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Great General Xianhe across the air.
"Great Celestial Venerable..."
General Xianhe had a complicated expression. After retracting his finger, he was silent for a while and then looked at the Ninth Princess, which scared Tu Zigu and others.
"Now that the title of Immortal Emperor has been lost, since you are the princess of the Xuanyuan clan and have the hope of inheriting the throne, I will give you a chance. Take care of yourself in the future."
As the great general of the fairy world pointed his finger, the Ninth Princess was completely unable to resist and could only allow a stream of fairy music to invade her sea of consciousness, leaving behind some things.
"it's over."
General Xianhe spoke in a flat tone, and the temple disappeared in an instant, leaving only the spirit tablet of Emperor Qiming standing on the ground.
The heavy rain continued to fall, but when the raindrops were about to fall, they were blocked by a barrier. General Xianhe looked up at the sky, and the thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated. The bright moonlight shone again, and the world became clear again.
Then, a gray door appeared out of nowhere, emitting a thick aura of death, as if there were countless wronged souls and evil spirits struggling and screaming inside.
Leaving Xiao Yuan who was still digesting the opportunity he had gained, General Xianhe walked towards the gray door.
"The gates of hell? Senior, what are you going to do?!" The Ninth Princess regained consciousness and shouted.
Two hazy, tall, and thin ghostly figures appeared silently from the gray door. One was dressed in white, and the other in black. Both had pale faces, long tongues hanging out of their mouths, and stared at the mortal beings with lifeless eyes.
"Black and White Impermanence!" Even if one was ignorant, one should recognize these two ghost generals from the underworld. The maids were frightened and their faces turned pale. The other guards were also trembling with fear and did not dare to make the slightest movement.
"The Great Celestial Venerable is dead, and this old minister has lived in vain for many years. Now that I have finally come to my senses, I will naturally follow the Immortal Emperor and enter the cycle of reincarnation."
General Xianhe walked towards the gates of hell step by step with a smile on his face.
Everyone was surprised to see that his aging body gradually broke apart and turned into pieces flying in the wind.
Finally, the soul of General Xianhe appeared and stepped into the gate of hell.
The two ghost generals bowed slightly to welcome this great general who was almost an immortal king into reincarnation. The Ghost Gate closed, the dark atmosphere dissipated, and the bright moonlight once again sprinkled on the ground.
The Ninth Princess stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally looked at the dazed Xiao Yuan. When she saw the fluctuations of the Spirit Embryo Realm erupting from him, she slowly came to her senses.
"This guy...has actually obtained a great opportunity."
