Chapter 199 [No Death, No Emperor]
The sickly Gai Jiuyou is now full of energy and vigor. The old man is not interested in talking to him about becoming an emperor.
He once reached the threshold of enlightenment and almost leaped into that realm, where he would be invincible, looking down on all living beings without any attachments.
Gai Jiuyou was tired of it. It was not that he could not fight, but that he was unwilling to fight. As the years passed, he was already a 9,000-year-old man, on the verge of death. Not only was he old, but his heart of Taoism was also old.
Not to mention becoming an emperor, even if it is the path to becoming an immortal, Gai Jiuyou has no interest in it. Throughout the ages, the path to becoming an immortal has been opened more than once, and no emperor in ancient times has become an immortal. It seems to be a scam.
But if you mention the Green Emperor, Gai Jiuyou will no longer be sleepy instantly.
That’s the Qing Emperor. That’s the Qing Emperor who had suppressed him all his life and made Gai Jiuyou look up to him all his life!
Not only was the Qing Emperor suppressing him and preventing him from achieving enlightenment, but he also had admiration, yearning, and a desire to challenge him. After years of baptism and eight or nine thousand years of sedimentation, Gai Jiuyou had already formed an obsession with the Qing Emperor.
To this day, he is still searching for the Wilderness Tower and the Green Emperor in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Qingdi, where the hell are you?!"
Gai Jiuyou was always feeling angry and unwilling to accept the situation. He wanted to see the person alive or the body dead.
But now, Lin Xian actually knows where the Qing Emperor is, and that the Qing Emperor is still alive!
It was like a bright light was lit in Gai Jiuyou's silent heart, giving him a new life. Wisps of quasi-emperor power descended, inspiring the imperial soldiers and gods to revive on their own.
This is not a quasi-emperor at all, he is already half an emperor and has almost achieved enlightenment. If he had not suffered Taoist injuries and the decline of blood energy in his old age, he would not have been so old.
Eight thousand years ago, Gai Jiuyou was invincible in the world, and there was no opponent in the five major domains who could match him with a single move. If it were not for the Green Emperor, he would have been destined to achieve enlightenment.
“How could there be such a person in the world?!” The saints trembled. Facing such momentum, even the Great Sage was not enough.
Only Lin Xian was as steady as an old dog, chatting and laughing with Gai Jiuyou. He did not change color in the face of the Supreme Power, and said leisurely: "Senior is as respected as the Green Emperor. If you want to learn from him, I can introduce you."
Gai Jiuyou was slightly stunned, then he restrained his momentum and understood Lin Xian's profound meaning. He was angry and naturally wanted to vent it towards the Green Emperor. It was really unbecoming of a supreme being to vent his anger on these juniors.
"Is the Green Emperor really alive?" Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but ask, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
"Of course, I am the messenger of the Green Emperor." Lin Xian looked indifferent and smiled slightly, "If it weren't for a living Great Emperor, how could a Fourth-level cultivator like me command the Saints and summon so many imperial soldiers?"
"The Green Emperor has issued a decree that I am here to guard the Immortal Alliance and rule the Eastern Wasteland on his behalf."
Gai Jiuyou glanced at the six imperial weapons and nodded. This lineup was enough to fight the Supreme. Apart from the Great Emperor's decree, ordinary people really couldn't produce it. Moreover, there was also a Chaos Green Lotus, which further verified the reliability of Lin Xian, the Green Emperor's messenger.
"Since the Green Emperor is alive, why doesn't he come out to rule the world?"
Gai Jiuyou narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively
Everyone in the world said that the Green Emperor had passed away, but even the quasi-emperors of a high enough level did not believe it. It had been ten thousand years since the path to immortality was opened. With the Green Emperor's means, how could he pass away so easily? He must have had a backup plan left.
“Alas…” Lin Xian sighed and shook his head, saying, “The status of His Majesty the Green Emperor and Senior Gai is similar, not much better.”
"Oh, there is such a thing!" Gai Jiuyou's eyes lit up, and although his expression was calm, anyone could hear the excitement in his voice.
It seems that I am not the only one who has suffered such a tragedy. It turns out that Qingdi also suffered a tragedy. I feel mentally balanced now.
People's happiness comes from comparison.
When he thought about the fact that the Green Emperor had a bad ending, Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but hum the immortal song of tribulation.
The saints looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who would dare to interfere or say more about the affairs of the two supreme beings?
Only Lin Xian was in the middle of it, his face remained calm, and he lied, "His Majesty the Green Emperor is currently busy deducing the method of becoming an immortal, and he once said: Only the Nine Nether Supreme can pacify the world in the current universe."
"Senior, your achievements are as great as those of nature, and your cultivation is earth-shattering, enough to be on par with the Green Emperor. I beg you to come out and join the Immortal Alliance to calm people's hearts."
“On par with the Green Emperor…” Gai Jiuyou narrowed his eyes, his energy surging, living up to his previous sickly appearance. He just coughed and said, “I am old after all, and I am living up to my prime.”
"You are wrong, senior!" Lin Xian said passionately, "An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles, and a martyr in his old age still has ambitions."
"The universe is in chaos now. There are some things that even the Green Emperor cannot do, and we still need the seniors to do them. There are also some things that the Green Emperor has not completed, and we still need the seniors to complete them!"
"This vast universe needs Gai Jiuyou, and this world needs a Jiuyou Emperor!"
Gai Jiuyou's daoist heart was shaking. He had been under the shadow of the Green Emperor all his life. If he could do something that surpassed the Green Emperor, wouldn't it prove that he had also surpassed the Green Emperor?
What is the Immortal Alliance’s special charter and the Emperor’s decree?
Those who the Green Emperor cannot kill, the Nine Nether Emperor will kill them. Those who the Green Emperor cannot take care of, the Nine Nether Emperor will take care of them!
Gai Jiuyou doesn't care about becoming an immortal, he only cares about the Green Emperor.
"The world needs Gai Jiuyou. What happened to the Green Emperor?" Gai Jiuyou asked, not wavering in his resolve because of Lin Xian's little flattery.
An emperor is invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths and can suppress the ages. If he can take action himself, he is enough to sweep away everything. Why would he need a half-crippled Gai Jiuyou?
If the Green Emperor cannot take action, his condition must be extremely bad.
"For this matter, please come to Tianxuan Stone Square and discuss it in detail."
Lin Xian extended her hand and invited Gai Jiuyou to take a seat.
Gai Jiuyou nodded and walked towards the interior of the holy city with staggering steps, which made the saints breathe a sigh of relief.
The imperial soldiers can kill a quasi-emperor, but that also depends on what kind of quasi-emperor he is
If he were to face Gai Jiuyou, let alone kill him, even the imperial soldiers would be easily defeated.
In the holy city, the prosperity faded and everything returned to ordinary. Countless monks breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to worry about being killed by the aftermath of the imperial army.
Inside the Tianxuan Stone Archway, all the saints were sitting cross-legged. Lin Xian took out the sacred spring from the ancient holy land, and then asked people to buy a few pieces of enlightenment tea.
This immortal tree grows in the Immortal Mountain. No one dares to go in. Only when the strong wind blows some of it out every year will the cultivators dare to pick it up. It can be said to be an immortal object that is hard to come by.
However, now that all the saints have gathered, including Yaoguang, Yaochi, the Ji family, the Jiang family, the demon clan, and the rulers of the Eastern Wilderness, a few pieces of enlightenment tea can still be found.
The Jiang family's Taixu God King had drunk the enlightenment tea in his early years. He picked up the knife himself and used the Lihuo God Furnace to cook. Ye Fan took out the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron as a utensil.
Several saints also took out a set of teacups made of Nine Heavens Divine Jade to embellish one or two.
After a while, the tea was ready, and immediately the fragrance filled the air, with curling wisps of tea aroma rising.
"It smells so good...Nannan seems to have drunk it before." Little Nannan said naively.
As soon as these words came out, they attracted Gai Jiuyou's attention. In fact, since entering the door, Gai Jiuyou's eyes have often fallen on Xiao Nannan, and the more he looked at her, the more frightened he became. Ordinary people only think that Xiao Nannan is cute, but the more powerful people are, the more they feel the horror of Xiao Nannan.
As powerful as Gai Jiuyou was, like a supreme being, sitting opposite little Nannan, he felt as if there was an unrivaled and gorgeous empress in front of him, who was more oppressive than the Qingdi Avenue.
"It's really against the will of heaven." Gai Jiuyou couldn't help but comment
"There have been more than one emperor who survived in ancient times. They didn't live like those in the forbidden area, but a different kind of immortality." Lin Xian said earnestly: "I am not only a man of the Green Emperor, but also an envoy appointed by all the emperors."
"Not just those people in the restricted area!" Gai Jiuyou was shocked. He was extremely close to the realm of the Great Emperor and knew very well how difficult it was for people at this level to survive.
"For immortality, this is the only way. The imperial way is only the starting point for becoming an immortal." Lin Xian said seriously, "Senior, you are so talented and you deserve to be immortal in this great age. You shouldn't be left alone in the wilderness."
"The battle for the throne only lasts for one lifetime. To truly last forever, you need to be on the path to becoming an immortal."
"It takes millions of years to become an immortal. Senior, why don't you wait and see? Then take a few more steps forward and compete with the Green Emperor on the method of longevity."
“More than one life…” Gai Jiuyou seemed to be thinking about something, as if he understood where Lin Xian’s idea of 20,000 to 30,000 years of enlightenment came from. Then he couldn’t help but ask, “How did the Green Emperor survive?”
You still care so much about Qingdi.
Lin Xian sighed and asked the Great Sage Wei Yi to temporarily break open Ye Fan's chest. A lively Green Emperor's heart was listening inside.
That familiar yet strange aura made Gai Jiuyou straighten his back and whispered, "The Emperor's Heart has flown out?"
It seems that Qingdi's situation is really worse than his own. At least Gai Jiuyou's heart is still intact.
"His Majesty the Green Emperor is experimenting with the method of becoming an immortal and using his primordial spirit to comprehend the truth, so he has no time to care about anything else." Lin Xian sighed and said helplessly, "The immortal elixir is all transformed by the immortal spirits of the past. His Majesty the Green Emperor seems to have been influenced by his predecessor. He wants to evolve an immortal realm in the desolate tower and open up an immortal world in this world where people can live forever."
Not only were the saints stunned when they heard the emperor's secret, even the strong man Gai Jiuyou was stunned for a long time.
To create a fairyland in the human world, Qingdi is worthy of being the King of Ideas in the Nine Heavens. He even dares to have such an idea.
At this moment, Gai Jiuyou had to admit with all his heart: "I am not as good as the Green Emperor."
If he were to seek death again, he would just be forcing himself to survive the imperial calamity. Even though it was crazy, this is what all the great men throughout the ages did.
Although no one succeeded, at least the Emperor's Tribulation was there and could be seen, inspiring those who came after him to continue seeking death.
The Qing Emperor can go to the fairyland, which is an illusory thing, and no matter whether he succeeds or not, it is a miracle unprecedented in ancient and modern times!
This can't be called courting death, it's simply seeking death.
"Are the others like Qingdi?" Gai Jiuyou looked at the little girl in a daze, wanting to find out whether the ruthless Daoguo was seeking death like Qingdi.
"Emperor Tuntian divided his soul and body into multiple lives to test the method of longevity." Lin Xian said calmly: "Little Nannan is just one of them."
The saints gasped. The thought of the Heaven-Swallowing Emperor being divided into nine parts was exciting.
As expected of him, he is the ruthless emperor. He is not afraid of schizophrenia.
Gai Jiuyou also sighed, is this the world of the strong (the emperor)? !
No wonder I have never been able to become an emperor. It turns out that I am not very good at committing suicide.
"Are there any other methods of achieving immortality?" Gai Jiuyou asked. He wanted to broaden his horizons today and watch a competition at the emperor level to lay a foundation for his future enlightenment.
"There are no others. There are only three emperors who have not killed themselves. The Green Emperor and the Ruthless Emperor are not in good condition." Lin Xian said: "As for the Wu Shi Emperor, he forced his way into the immortal path in his later years. He was suppressing the Immortal Emperor and had no time to take care of other things."
"As expected of him, he is the Wushi Great Emperor!" Gai Jiuyou stood in awe. Finally, a somewhat normal emperor appeared.
Most people can't learn the cool moves of Henren and Wanqing. Although it's a bit outrageous that Emperor Wu Shi fought for the immortal path in his later years, it seems much more normal compared to the previous two.
"Senior Gai Jiuyou is wise. Now the road to becoming an immortal is about to open, and the dark turmoil is about to come. Wanqing, Wushi, and the three emperors Tuntian have not killed themselves, but they have no time to care about other things."
Lin Xian stood up and bowed again, saying: "The later years of the Great Saint Body are unknown, and he is muddle-headed and incapable of pacifying the world. The other emperors are all in the cycle of reincarnation and cannot be considered masters of the imperial way. This is truly a critical moment for survival. Only the seniors can take action to turn the tide and save the collapsing building."
"I'm afraid I'll block the path to advancement for future generations." Gai Jiuyou nodded, but still had a trace of worry.
"I have no objection." Ye Fan, the descendant, raised his hands in admiration
The other saints almost rolled their eyes. You are a great saint and can never become an emperor, so of course they have no objection.
"When the dark turmoil comes, what's the point of holding the throne if I lose my life?"
Lin Xian laughed and said, "If you can't achieve enlightenment because of some difficulties, then you can't be considered a true genius."
"In this mortal world, one should not be able to become an immortal, but the Emperor forged an immortal cauldron."
"The ruthless emperor was a mortal body, but he killed all the kings, turned into a chaotic body, and stood above the nine heavens."
"The Great Emperor Wu Shi was the son of the Western Emperor, but he broke free from his shackles, defied the will of heaven, and became the most powerful person in history."
"People in the world say that there are no immortals in the mortal world, and that immortality is impossible. They also say that ordinary mortals cannot achieve the Tao. They also say that the emperor's son is suppressed by his father's Tao and cannot become an emperor."
"But every spell was broken by people in later generations, which shows that nothing in this world is fixed."
"Nothing is unachievable."
“Trust in the wisdom of those who come after you!”
"Nothing is difficult in this world." Gai Jiuyou nodded, drank the spiritual chicken soup from Master Lin, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of the enlightenment tea.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xian also took out the Bodhi seeds and Qilin seeds, drank the Enlightenment Tea, and comprehended the great truth in it, because this time the Enlightenment Tea was in the shape of Qilin.
The Bodhi seed attains enlightenment, the Qilin seed attains enlightenment, and even the tea leaves are squeezed dry~!
After using it, Lin Xian passed it to Ye Fan, who passed it to Fairy Zixia. This cycle continued, allowing Gai Jiuyou to see the true strength of the Immortal Alliance. There was more than one elixir of immortality, although most of them were youth versions.
"Qilin seeds, bodhi seeds... so many immortal medicines, so many imperial weapons." Gai Jiuyou said leisurely: "Are you going to establish a heaven?"
"Why not?" Lin Xian stood up and bowed, saying, "We have immortal medicine, imperial weapons, and many imperial heritages. This life should belong to our Immortal Alliance."
"If you are willing to join the Immortal Alliance, we will establish the Heavenly Court. This is a great feat that even the Green Emperor has not accomplished."
