Chapter 506: Only save allies, Mengli’s tenderness!
"Heavenly Demon Emperor? The king of demons? How strong is he?" Xuan Xiao asked curiously.
No one in the Qionghua Sect had ever heard of this Heavenly Demon Emperor.
Now, Shushan actually didn’t quite understand the strength of the Heavenly Demon Emperor. It was not until they sent out all their forces to encircle and suppress the Heavenly Demon Emperor and were defeated that they realized how terrifying the Heavenly Demon Emperor was.
The Shushan Sect is the largest sect of immortal cultivation in the world, with thousands of disciples.
The reason why it is so large in scale is that the Shushan Sect is essentially a sect that was formed by the merger of more than a dozen immortal cultivation sects under the pressure of Emperor Wu of Liang.
It is equivalent to the eight Kunlun sects merging into one Kunlun sect, so the scale is naturally extremely large.
As for the Qionghua Sect, although its overall strength is comparable to that of the Shushan Sect, it is inferior to the Shushan Sect in terms of the scale of its disciples.
The Qionghua Sect has only a thousand-odd disciples, not even a few thousand in size.
Thousands of Shushan disciples were defeated by the Heavenly Demon Emperor. The strength of the Heavenly Demon Emperor was indeed extraordinary.
Murong Fu said: "The strength of the Heavenly Demon Emperor surpasses that of ordinary immortals. He is the true emperor among demons. It is extremely rare for such an emperor to be born among the demon race."
"According to my understanding, the strength of this Heavenly Demon Emperor is such that even if the entire Shu Mountain were to mobilize all its forces, they would still not be able to defeat him."
Xuan Xiao was shocked and asked, "Is he so strong?"
Xuan Xiao has already reached the pinnacle of human spiritual power, but he doesn't dare to say that he can defeat the entire Shushan Sect head-on.
Not only did everyone in the Qionghua Sect look surprised, Dao Zhen was also shocked.
He also only knew that the Heavenly Demon Emperor was extremely powerful. When he issued the challenge, he used only one clone to defeat the Eight Elders of Shushan even though they formed a formation. However, he never imagined that even the entire Shushan Sect could not defeat this guy.
"Is the Heavenly Demon Emperor really so powerful?" Dao Zhen couldn't believe it, but he trusted Murong Fu very much. After all, Murong Fu could have an immortal as his maid, so such a person would definitely not speak nonsense.
"Do you know where the monster comes from?" Murong Fu asked back.
Su Yao said: "It seems that they are the descendants of the ancient Chi You?"
Murong Fu said: "Pangu created the world, the pure air rose, the turbid air sank, and formed the six realms today."
"And Pangu's spirit became the Three Sovereigns, namely Fuxi, Nuwa, and Shennong."
Su Yao was surprised and asked: "Hey, aren't the Three Emperors Fuxi, Xuanyuan, and Shennong?"
Everyone except Xuan Xiao, who knew that Murong Fu wanted to resurrect Nuwa, was also quite surprised, because the history books of Fuxi's time were deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Nuwa had become a wild god of the Miao area, and her status in many people's minds was not as high as that of Sakyamuni.
Murong Fu said: "That was revised by Fuxi. Because Nuwa is the mother of the human race and once led us humans to rebel against the gods, the stories of Nuwa making humans out of clay, mending the sky, and forming an alliance with the gods to defeat the beasts were hidden. Even if there are legends among the people, everyone thinks it is not official history and is not worth believing."
"Fuxi created the Gods, Nuwa created the Humans, and Shennong created the Beasts. The Human-God Alliance defeated the Beasts. Some of the Beasts went to the Netherworld and became powerful demons that could compete with the Gods."
"Some beastmen stayed in the human world, or lived in the demon world, or scattered in the human world. When they awakened Shennong's spiritual power, they became demons. When the demon's spiritual power sublimated and became closer to the origin, they became devils."
Su Yao's heart moved, and she asked: "Then the practice of human beings is also the same principle?"
Murong Fu said: "Yes, when humans awaken Nuwa's spiritual power, they become immortals, and when their spiritual power is sublimated, they become gods."
"This Heavenly Demon Emperor may have some potential to become the Demon Lord! The Demon Lord was once an ordinary demon, but he was gifted and grew step by step. His strength is now comparable to that of the Divine General Fei Peng, only slightly inferior to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, and far superior to the Divine General Xuan Yuan."
"But the Heavenly Demon Emperor is not very smart. If I were the Heavenly Demon Emperor, I would not be in such a hurry to jump out and would go directly to the Demon Realm to practice. One day, I would become a Demon Lord and descend to the mortal world. Not to mention one Shushan Sect, I would destroy ten Shushan Sects."
With just a few words, Murong Fu revealed many secrets of the world that were unknown to everyone. Everyone felt that Murong Fu was more and more extraordinary, and speculated that perhaps Murong Fu was also a powerful god or demon in his previous life.
This also explains why Murong Fu knows so many ancient secrets and awakens the memories of his past life.
This can also explain why Murong Fu is so powerful, and why he is becoming so powerful by leaps and bounds. It must be because he has awakened the spiritual power from his previous life.
"This Heavenly Demon King is a great scourge to the human world. How can we eradicate this demon?" Dao Zhen asked urgently, "If this demon is not eliminated, the human world will be turned upside down by him."
"I have an idea that is 100 percent sure." Murong Fu said, "As long as you find a way to trick the Heavenly Demon Emperor into the Demon Locking Tower, the Heavenly Demon Emperor doesn't know how to break the Demon Locking Tower, so he can only use brute force to break the tower, and he can't get out of the Demon Locking Tower for the time being. You can make another sacrifice and send a disciple with high cultivation to use the Demon Suppressing Sword at all costs to enter the Demon Locking Tower, and you will definitely be able to temporarily suppress the Heavenly Demon Emperor. But this requires the Demon Suppressing Sword. Because without the Demon Suppressing Sword, the Heavenly Demon Emperor cannot be suppressed at all."
"The Demon-Suppressing Sword of your Shushan Sect is extraordinary. It is much more powerful than the Wangshu Sword and Xihe Sword of our Qionghua Sect. The Wangshu Sword and Xihe Sword were forged by humans, but the Demon-Suppressing Sword comes from the God Realm."
Su Yao originally thought that Murong Fu was trying to boost the morale of the Shushan Sect and destroy the prestige of his own Qionghua Sect. However, when she heard that the Demon-Suppressing Sword came from the God Realm, she had to admit that the gap was indeed irreparable.
The divine realm is above the immortal realm, and the goal of their Qionghua sect is nothing more than to reach the immortal realm.
"The Demon-Slaying Sword comes from the God Realm?" Dao Zhen felt that Murong Fu was more and more unfathomable. It seemed as if this man knew everything about the six realms and was omnipotent.
Murong Fu said: "The Demon-Suppressing Sword was originally named the Sword of Illuminating the Gallbladder. It was the sword of the Divine General Fei Peng. When the Divine General Fei Peng was fighting against the Demon Lord Chong Lou, he was discovered by the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Divine Realm, who wanted to punish Fei Peng. Fei Peng was banished to the mortal world, and the Sword of Illuminating the Gallbladder also fell into the human world and was obtained by the founder of your Shushan Sect."
"If it weren't for the Sword of Illuminating Gallbladder, how could the founder of your Shushan Sect ascend to heaven and become an immortal? It was the Sword of Illuminating Gallbladder that gave him this qualification. The Sword of Illuminating Gallbladder is also the biggest trump card of your Shushan Sect. If you want to suppress the Heavenly Demon Emperor, you must have the Sword of Illuminating Gallbladder."
Dao Zhen was troubled and said, "Is there a better way? The Demon-Suppressing Sword is too important to our Shushan Sect."
With or without the Demon-Suppressing Sword, the Shushan Sect’s top combat power would be completely different.
Since the founder of the Shushan Sect, no one has ever cultivated to the level of a semi-immortal at most. Only by holding the Demon-Suppressing Sword can one be comparable to a true immortal, or even possess power that surpasses that of a true immortal.
If the Demon-Slaying Sword were used to suppress the Heavenly Demon Emperor, it would undoubtedly be a significant weakening of the Shushan Sect.
In the original novel, if the Demon Emperor had not wanted to destroy the Demon Locking Tower, Shushan would not have been willing to sacrifice the Demon-Suppressing Sword on the eve of its demise.
Murong Fu said: "Of course there is. That is our Qionghua Sect supporting your Shushan Sect. Senior Xuanxiao and I will work together, and together with the masters of your Shushan Sect, we will be able to suppress the Heavenly Demon Emperor."
Dao Zhen looked at Murong Fu, then his eyes fell on Xuan Xiao, and he sighed: "Qionghua Sect is indeed worthy of being the leader of the eight Kunlun sects, and it is full of talented people. To be honest, my master also sent me to Qionghua Sect to ask for help. If Qionghua Sect can lend a helping hand, our Shushan Sect will naturally be grateful."
Murong Fu said: "No hurry, tell me what Master Yiming thinks of the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance that I proposed?"
Dao Zhen said awkwardly: "Master is very tempted, but some elders in the sect think that this is inappropriate. They are worried that the Qionghua Sect wants to steal the swordsmanship of the Shushan Sect. Master can't persuade them, and there is a powerful enemy at hand, so he has not agreed to this matter for the time being."
"Asshole! The swordsmanship of my Qionghua sect was taught by the Queen Mother of the West herself, and is even better than that of your Shushan sect. Your Shushan elders actually judge others by their own mean standards. How short-sighted! How ridiculous, really ridiculous!" Su Yao raised her eyebrows and said in displeasure.
Murong Fu said: "The Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance does want to share the immortal cultivation method, but if your Shushan Sect disagrees, then we can talk about it later! As for rescuing the Shushan Sect, we only rescue our allies. If the Shushan Sect refuses to join the Great Tang Immortal Cultivation Alliance, then it is not our ally. Sorry."
Since the Shushan Sect was not understanding, Murong Fu asked the Heavenly Demon Emperor to calm them down. Even if they really tricked the Heavenly Demon Emperor into entering the Demon Locking Tower, Murong Fu would secretly help the Heavenly Demon Emperor, leaving the Shushan Sect with nowhere to go and only able to count on the Qionghua Sect.
"This..." Dao Zhen sighed, "Well, I'll go back and persuade Master again!"
It is a favor for the Qionghua Sect to help the Shushan Sect, and it is their duty not to help. Daozhen is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason, so it is not easy to blame him for anything.
"Don't worry. I will become an immortal in three days. I will invite all sects to come and watch the ceremony." Murong Fu said, "Go back and tell your master that Shushan Sect can also send people to watch the ceremony and witness the process of my becoming an immortal."
"What? Daoyou is going to become an immortal?" Daozhen was surprised at first, then he said as if it was a matter of course, "That's right, Daoyou's two maids can become immortals. With Daoyou's ability, becoming an immortal is naturally not a difficult thing."
"I'm sorry I can't see you off. If you want to visit your brother and sister-in-law, just go to Taiyi Immortal Path. There will naturally be someone to entertain you there." Murong Fu smiled and said, "Sect's affairs are our own affairs. As for our personal relationship, we are still friends." "Thank you very much. Bye." Dao Zhen felt warm in his heart. He felt that Murong Fu was a very generous and upright person. He was very moved.
After Dao Zhen left, Su Yao's eyes widened and she asked Murong Fu, "Elder Murong, Dao Zhen said your maid is also an immortal. When did you have a maid, and she is also an immortal?"
Dao Zhen's words contained a lot of information. Su Yao naturally noticed it and was full of doubts at the moment.
Murong Fu said: "Before, in order to save Senior Xuan Xiao, I went to look for the Three Cold Instruments. When I was looking for the Thoreau fruit, I found that the Thoreau tree cultivated by the great god Shennong gave birth to two immortals, one named Chu Bihen and the other named Chu Hanjing. They are a pair of sisters."
"I helped the two sisters to become immortals. They were grateful for my kindness and volunteered to be my maids until I died. However, I placed them in Taiyi Sect, which can be regarded as guarding the gate of our Qionghua Sect."
Everyone in the Qionghua Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wow, this Murong Fu, even his maid is an immortal, and he can also be related to the great god Shennong.
"Why didn't you report such an important matter to me?" Su Yao said.
"Didn't I tell you that I founded the Taiyi Sect? You just hummed and didn't take it to heart!" Murong Fu said with a smile.
Su Yao blushed.
She then remembered that Murong Fu had indeed reported to her, but at that time Murong Fu was transformed into a giant water buffalo.
How could she care about such trivial matters? She was completely immersed in the pastoral idyll.
"You didn't say there are immortals in your Taiyi Sect!" Su Yao said aggrievedly, "We don't have immortals in our Qionghua Sect!"
Murong Fu said: "I have become an immortal, right? There are two other scattered immortals in Taiyi Sect, one is a mountain god and the other is a fox fairy. It's not a big deal. Do I need to report this?"
"You guys, stop making a fuss all the time. You don't have the spirit of a great sect. In the future, we want everyone in the Qionghua Sect to become immortals. What is an immortal?"
Murong Fu said, pointing to a young disciple sweeping the floor outside, "For example, he is sweeping the floor now. After two years, when he becomes an immortal, won't he have to sweep the floor too?"
Everyone's expressions froze.
If you haven't become an immortal yet, you have to sweep the floor. If you have become an immortal, you still have to sweep the floor. Isn't it a waste of your immortality?
……
night.
After Han Lingsha fell asleep.
Liu Mengli quietly slipped into Murong Fu's room.
"The night is long and I can't sleep. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect that you couldn't sleep either." Looking at the blushing Liu Mengli, Murong Fu smiled and said, "Do you want to go with me to Zuihuayin to enjoy the moon?"
"Okay... okay, Master, I have something to say to you." Liu Mengli said in a low voice.
Afterwards, Murong Fu brought Liu Mengli to Zuihuayin.
This place has windy weather all year round and beautiful scenery. It is a garden corridor of the Qionghua School.
In those days, Xuan Xiao often looked up at the stars here to strengthen his determination to pursue the Tao.
To him, immortals are like the stars in the sky.
Now that Murong Fu and Liu Mengli have arrived, it is also a good night. It is a good time. The Milky Way hangs in the dark sky. The moonlight of the bright moon falls on the flowers, illuminating the ripples of the petals and the shyness of the stamens.
"The moon is above the treetops, and we're meeting after dusk." Murong Fu smiled and said, "Mengli, look at how beautiful this Milky Way is. One day, you and I will both become immortals and walk among the Milky Way. That will definitely be a fun thing."
"Yes, the Milky Way is beautiful. The moon is beautiful too." Liu Mengli said, "Master, what my mother said, you...you..."
Liu Mengli's face turned red, she really couldn't say anything. The normally graceful and elegant young lady now acted like a child.
"What did your mother say about you marrying me?" Murong Fu said.
"Ah! Yes, yes..." Liu Mengli said, "I don't know what my mother is thinking. We are obviously master and disciple."
Murong Fu said: "Your mother is afraid that I will plot against the Mengmo tribe. You trust me, but your mother can't trust me. Marriage is a kind of guarantee. However, your mother gave me two choices at that time."
Liu Mengli asked: "Two choices?"
Murong Fu said: "Your mother said that either she would marry me or you would marry me. I chose you without hesitation. After all, I am only nineteen years old, the same age as you. Your mother can be my mother."
"My mother really is..." Liu Mengli was speechless.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Your mother is a native dream tapir. Unlike you, you grew up in the human world and have human ethics, but your mother doesn't. The question now is, what do you think?"
"I..." Liu Mengli was a little confused, "I don't know?"
Murong Fu asked: "What do you think of me?"
Liu Mengli said: "Master, you are naturally very good."
Murong Fu said: "Do you like me?"
Liu Mengli was petrified.
Murong Fu just looked at her with gentle eyes.
Liu Mengli slowly recovered from her petrified state and said, "A little bit... but... but I can't tell. I don't know if it's the feeling of a girl towards a boy, or the feeling of a disciple towards the master. But when I'm with you, the master, I feel like I'm not afraid of anything."
Murong Fu said: "Mengli, I actually like you too. When we are in harmony, we have a tacit understanding! Master and disciple? In my heart, it doesn't matter. I am not someone who is bound by worldly etiquette."
"Life is short, like an empty dream, youth and old age are but a blink of an eye. But it is different for us who practice Taoism. The road ahead is long, and it is good to have a Taoist companion to walk with us."
"So I don't object to your marriage, but I respect your opinion. If you don't like it, I will cancel the engagement with your mother and find another way to reassure the Nightmare Tapir Clan."
Liu Mengli felt warm in her heart and said, "Master, no, I just... it happened too fast and I haven't thought it through yet."
"Then I'll wait for you to think it through. Don't be in a hurry. Ascension can be postponed." Murong Fu said, taking out his flute. "In this situation, how about we play another song together?"
"Okay!"
Liu Mengli happily took out the Yaoqin.
The two people's minds gradually became compatible, and their music was entangled together, adding a layer of affection.
