Chapter 198 [Trust in the Wisdom of Future Generations]
The ruthless emperor lived for four generations and in his fifth life, something went wrong on his mortal immortal path. He no longer ruled the human universe, but escaped into an ancient forbidden area and achieved nirvana.
There are four branches in her unified Taoism. The first branch is the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Land established by her former followers and generals. When the ruthless man disappeared, his Heaven-Swallowing Magic Pot was left to them.
When the ruthless emperor was awake, she had killed great holy spirits and beheaded the supreme being of the forbidden area. Naturally, the whole world was awed and all spirits were silent. No one dared to challenge her. The entire universe prostrated itself at her feet. She was the only one in ancient times.
But when she reached the most critical point in her transformation to immortality, she was in danger of exploding if she was not careful, and she had no time to take care of other things and protect future generations.
As a result, the forbidden areas that were offended by the Henren Emperor all took action. The Heavenly Forbidden Area cast a curse, the Shenxu Forbidden Area retaliated, and the Immortal Mountain destroyed its temple. These were all life forbidden areas that had a great connection with the Holy Spirit.
It was because a ruthless man in the past cut off the Tianduan Mountains with a sword, turning the ancestral land of the Holy Spirit Royal Family into ruins.
After the destruction of Tianhuan Holy Land, some descendants were trapped in several Taoist temples in the Northern Territory until their final decline, when they became indistinguishable from the crowd and completely disappeared.
There are also some extremely special people. They are from the same village as the Henren Emperor. They have done favors for the Henren Emperor and her brother. They are closer to the Henren Emperor than followers and have the decrees and imperial orders of the Henren Emperor.
This is the second lineage of ruthless people. After the decline of the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Land, they escaped and found the third lineage of ruthless people, the gravekeeper of the Nanling Emperor.
The two hit it off immediately. You have the orthodoxy and I have the holy land, and together we forged the black gold tripod with dragon pattern.
Lin Xian calls himself the ruthless Taoist master and is the orthodox of the fourth lineage. Not only because he has half a mouthful of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Jar and has learned some of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Skills, but also because there is a little girl in the Tianxuan Holy Land.
What is more ruthless than the fruit, and a symbol of orthodoxy.
With just a gentle call, the dragon-patterned black gold tripod instantly rebelled, or in other words, restored order and returned to its rightful owner.
The expressions of the only two remaining saints of the second lineage of ruthless people changed drastically, and they quickly realized something, shouting, "We can also love the Immortal Alliance, and we can also be loyal."
However, the old saint Yaoguang was extremely cruel and asked Lin Xian to wipe out the roots of the enemy. Just one surrender would be enough. His attitude was even more resolute than that of the saints from other families.
"Convert..." Ye Fan held little Nannan's hand thoughtfully. As a latecomer to Yaoguang Holy Land, he had to be more fanatical than the veteran members in order to show his loyalty.
In addition, for the sake of orthodoxy, the Yaoguang Holy Land has endured unorthodox influences for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Now that it sees the dawn of hope, it is naturally eager to resolve it.
Without the black gold tripod with dragon pattern, even the saints could not resist the power of the supreme god. Soon the great battle outside the starry sky ended, and the two saints were beaten into ashes.
The materials on them were also collected and put into the hands of old man Wei Yi. This was a considerable fortune that could be used as start-up capital for the Tianxuan Holy Land.
Weighing a huge piece of Daluo Silver Essence, Elder Wei Yi nodded, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, and he murmured: "In the past, when we attacked the ancient forbidden area, countless holy weapons were damaged. Among them was a Star Spirit Pot made of Daluo Silver Essence, which can draw in the Zhoutian Star Power."
"Now that the holy weapon has been recast, it can be the foundation of Tianxuan and is suitable for your practice."
"Why is the old man in the mood to practice weapons today?" Lin Xian was a little surprised. Neither the old madman nor Wei Yi took weapons seriously.
Firstly, he firmly believed that he was invincible and his fists could crush everything. Secondly, he was worried that his disciples would become dependent on weapons and lose their enterprising spirit.
Even the old madman's holy crown is only a symbol of the inheritance of Holy Lord Tianxuan.
"Things are different now. Tianxuan's business is getting bigger and bigger."
Elder Wei Yi glanced around, looking at Yao Chi, the Jiang family, and the Ji family, and finally his gaze fell on Saint Yaoguang. He slowly said, "The Immortal Alliance has gone from virtual to real, and some sects are likely to be completely integrated. I'm afraid you can't stop it."
"Senior, you are joking." Saint Yaoguang's body trembled. Without the protection of the imperial soldiers, he felt tremendous pressure at this moment. Just by being stared at, his body felt like it was going to explode.
How could there be such a terrifying person in the world? This is a difficult era. Those who can become kings in this environment are all unparalleled geniuses.
The other three saints also felt tremendous pressure, only the God King Jiang Taixu was calm and composed. With this contemporary saint in the Tianxuan Holy Land, they were bound to take charge of the Immortal Alliance.
"The fellow Daoist in the dark has been watching for a long time." Elder Wei Yi nodded, and suddenly his eyes fell on a void, and he said solemnly: "Why don't you show up?"
"What? There's someone else?" The saints were suddenly shocked and quickly called for the imperial soldiers to protect themselves, fearing that the mantis would stalk the cicada while the oriole was behind.
"Master He Fang, please show up and see me!"
The God King Jiang Taixu shouted loudly, and his mind suddenly became majestic. Even at his level, he couldn't realize how terrifying this person was.
"I'm old, really old... Even a great sage can find my trace." A cough was heard in the void, and an old man with sparse hair, bony frame, and sickly look slowly walked over.
The sick old man staggered, but the saints were terrified and did not look down on him at all. What did it mean to be even a great saint? !
Who is the person in front of me? Could he be a quasi-emperor of the time?
If one cultivates to become a saint in the Daojian era, he has the qualifications to become an emperor. If one cultivates to become a quasi-emperor in this environment, what a talent that is!
The saints led the imperial soldiers cautiously, not daring to slack off at all. Theoretically, the Great Sage with the imperial soldiers could kill the quasi-emperor, but there was a high probability that he would be killed in return. The chances of the two were fifty-fifty.
It mainly depends on the degree of recovery of the imperial soldiers. The role of the Great Sage is just a power bank to recharge the imperial soldiers.
The word "Emperor" is not just a word, it can really crush the ages.
Even a quasi-emperor can dominate the universe in an era without an emperor. He has already embarked on the path to supremacy and cannot be challenged.
Lin Xian was the only one who was calm and composed at the scene, because he knew the identity of the sick old man. He looked at the Great Sage Wei Yi and couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did Master Uncle achieve the breakthrough?"
"I have comprehended a lot from the scriptures you brought, and gained some insights." Great Sage Wei Yi said calmly: "A few days ago, the Green Emperor's Dao Mark began to gradually dissipate and was no longer suppressed. I took the opportunity to step in."
All the saints were shocked. It turned out that Wei Yi was already a great saint. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such pressure.
"The trace of the Green Emperor's Dao." Upon hearing this, the sick old man shook his head and sighed, "How many people have been harmed by the Green Emperor's Dao suppression."
"Living in the same era as an enlightened person, this kind of influence is extremely serious. The heaven and earth are in sync, and the great way suppresses them. The closer the person is to the great way, the greater the suppression. In ancient times, few emperors achieved enlightenment, and most of them stayed in the quasi-emperor realm."
“Not necessarily.” Lin Xian stepped forward and said with a smile: “This life is extraordinary. The path to becoming an immortal will be opened. Only the sons of the emperor who are considered the most outstanding by the Ancient Emperor and have offspring who surpass their own hopes will be sealed.”
"Yes, the road to becoming an immortal." The sick old man said in a daze, "The calculation of that holy land six thousand years ago was wrong, and now it is about to be opened again."
"The prodigies of all ages have fought for their place, and the supreme beings of ancient times have competed with each other. This world is extremely cruel." Lin Xian nodded, then changed the subject and said, "But, I think there are still people in this world who can compete with the emperor's prodigies and even the ancient supreme beings!"
"Oh, who is he?" The sick old man suddenly became interested, and several figures flashed in his mind, all of whom were people of the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor. "His name is Gai Jiuyou!" Lin Xian said leisurely, "Eight or nine thousand years ago, a Gai Jiuyou appeared in Zhongzhou. It was only more than a thousand years before the disappearance of the Green Emperor. He withstood tremendous pressure and reached the threshold of enlightenment in just a thousand years, the ultimate leap."
"This speed is far faster than that of the ancient great emperors. If he had missed the Green Emperor, he would have been destined to become a Nine Nether Emperor."
"only……"
"Just what?" The sick old man asked with his hands behind his back, his interest aroused.
"It's just that he was born at the wrong time. As time goes by, even if he is as strong as the Great Emperor, so what? Even if he is stronger than the ancient Supreme Being, so what? People only remember the best in the world, and never remember the second best."
"Eternity is fleeting. If you can't become an emperor, you will always be an ant. The Heaven's Heart Seal will only carry the way of the Great Emperor. Even the Heaven's Tribulation Seal and the Human-Shaped Lightning will only project the Great Emperor, the Ancient Emperor, and the Heavenly Venerable."
Lin Xian lamented, "After eternity, all living things will praise the glory of the Green Emperor, and the name of Gai Jiuyou will no longer exist in the world. How sad and lamentable."
"There is no more the name Gai Jiuyou..." The sick old man was touched and sighed. At this moment, his identity was self-evident.
It was the genius who once swept across Beidou and was invincible in the universe, the invincible Gai Jiuyou.
A man who almost attained enlightenment!
"The Yangtze River rolls eastward, its waves wash away all heroes, and success or failure is all in vain. The green mountains remain, and the sunsets are red again..."
Lin Xian said softly, "Senior Gai Jiuyou, you don't want to practice Taoism all your life, but end up being unknown, dying of old age in the depths of the wilderness, and turning into a pile of yellow earth."
“If future generations mention your name and think that you are not as good as those ancient emperors who cultivated slowly and took three or four thousand years to achieve enlightenment, wouldn’t that be a pity?”
"I have a business in the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest. The risk is a bit high, but the profit is very high. As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger."
"There is a perfect True Dragon Immortality Elixir among them. If you take it, you can live a second life and restore your vitality to its peak."
"This life must be the era of the Nine Nether Emperor. Even the ancient supreme beings cannot stop you from achieving enlightenment."
"Immortality elixir, second life?" Gai Jiuyou's heart was pounding, and then there was an endless silence, so long that Lin Xian couldn't help but speak, and continued: "I know the son of the Fighting Saint Emperor, I can introduce him to you."
"In the past, the Holy Emperor of Fighting was wounded by the Dao. He also took the immortality elixir and broke through to the realm of Dao. After achieving Dao, his fighting power was unprecedented and far exceeded that of other ancient emperors. With the example of predecessors, Senior Gai will definitely succeed!"
"The Fighting Saint Emperor, the one who achieved enlightenment in the late ancient times." Gai Jiuyou's eyes showed a trace of inquiry, then he shook his head and sighed: "The Green Emperor blocked my path back then, how can I follow his example and block the path of the younger generation to ascend."
"Gai Jiuyou doesn't want another Gai Jiuyou to appear in the world."
The saints were moved. The chance to achieve enlightenment was right before their eyes, but Gai Jiuyou just gave it up. He did it so casually that even Lin Xian was stunned.
Only the Great Sage Wei Yi looked at Gai Jiuyou, seemed to understand something, and shook his head: "Daoyou Gai, what you lack is not the opportunity to become a god, but the breath in your heart?"
Gai Jiuyou remained silent. He had been practicing Taoism for many years, but what was he pursuing?
Is it the ultimate glory after enlightenment?
Is it the desire to become an immortal and live forever?
Or is it a desire to compete with the Great Emperor and the Ancient King in terms of fighting spirit?
This anger has been held in my heart for who knows how many years, a full eight thousand years, and I don't know where to vent it.
"As monks, why should we fear a battle?"
Lin Xian finally understood that this was the type of cultivator Zhatian was. Not only was he stubborn, but he was also extremely twisted. The general environment had created a fragile yet strong heart of Taoism for him.
This is true for Jiuyou and Dique as well.
What they pursue is not to ascend to heaven, but to be the best in the world!
Without this goal, what is the point of practicing Taoism? In the end, you will only be second to none in the world, so it is better not to practice.
Gai Jiuyou's situation is more complicated. He longs to achieve enlightenment, but he doesn't want a second Gai Jiuyou to appear in the world.
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Xian immediately iterated his strategy, re-empowered himself, dug deep into a new track, and changed the direction to deceive: "Senior, what you said is wrong. You have old ideas and old thinking."
"This life is different. The road to becoming an immortal is opened. It is destined to be golden and dazzling. Not only will some people become emperors, but some will also become immortals!"
"All the eternal geniuses were born in the same era, and they are extraordinary. How can you be sure that no one can break the suppression of the Great Dao and achieve the Dao against the will of heaven?"
"Since you place your hopes on future generations, you must believe in their wisdom even more!"
"It is possible for this life to repeat the glory of the mythological era and for many emperors to coexist."
Lin Xian spoke eloquently and beautifully. Gai Jiuyou's eyes moved, as if he could sense everything and believe in the wisdom of future generations. Could it be that there are people who are better than their teachers?
"If you don't believe me, you can ask any genius you want."
Lin Xian pointed at Ye Fan and said, "Why don't you ask him if he has the confidence to go against the will of heaven and achieve enlightenment."
Gai Jiuyou looked at Ye Fan for a moment, then suddenly said, "Ancient Saint Body?"
Ye Fan said with a look of despair: "I don't care. The holy body has never been able to achieve enlightenment. It has its own path. There has never been a holy body that can become an emperor. Even if the senior becomes an emperor, it can't affect me."
"The holy body is special, it's just an exception." Gai Jiuyou looked at Lin Xian and asked faintly: "You are also a genius, do you have the heart to achieve enlightenment?"
"Tianjiao, ah, me?" Lin Xian was stunned, pointed at himself and looked around.
The saints nodded. Although the Four Extremes Secret Realm Tribulation was the last small realm to pass the tribulation, there was definitely hope of becoming a Great Saint, or even a Quasi-Emperor.
There is only one great sage in an ancient star in a lifetime, how can he not be considered a genius?
"I don't think it's possible to achieve enlightenment in one lifetime." Lin Xian stroked his chin and thought, "I want to become a great sage in my first lifetime, take the elixir of immortality in my second lifetime and become a quasi-emperor, then take the Nine Revolutions Pill and live for ten thousand years. I think I have a good chance of achieving enlightenment."
Gai Jiuyou, who took 20,000 to 30,000 years to achieve enlightenment and a thousand years to reach the threshold of enlightenment, was silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "It is also a way."
"That's right, all roads lead to the Great Emperor!" Lin Xian laughed and said, "Besides, the Green Emperor is still alive, don't you want to meet him?"
"Who? Qingdi!" Divine light burst out from Gai Jiuyou's eyes, so bright that in an instant, he seemed to be eight thousand years younger, full of energy and fighting spirit, no longer sickly.
