"???"Tang Can stood there without moving, a blush appeared on her fair face. She stared at Chen Xian with a face full of question marks. What was true or false?
"Brother Xian, don't scare us. What's wrong with you?" Wang Yan stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xian's hand, his face full of worry.
The human army, the demon army, as well as Ao Hongtian and others are all watching. If something happens to Chen Xian and Ao Hongtian takes the opportunity to attack them, they will definitely not be able to stop them.
"Alas! You will never understand!" Chen Xian sat dejectedly on the top of the mountain, and sat there all night.
The three groups of people did not retreat, and they all looked at the young man on the top of the mountain.
It was not until the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell on Chen Xian's face, that he slowly stood up:
"Whether it's true or not, I must find out!"
He turned to look at Lu Bai and others and smiled.
"Withdraw your troops."
"It's the prince!"
Xiahou Yu nodded and began to order the army to return with the sacrificed brothers.
When Chen Xian arrived at the battlefield, he walked around and smelled the blood in the air. He sighed in his heart, "It's so real!"
He now thought of two possibilities. One was that the world was real and cultivation was fake, or that because of the guidance of the old demon Huang, people in the world had gone astray on the path of cultivation.
The second possibility is that this world is fake, and he has only been simulating a fake cultivation world for nine years.
Walking on the muddy road, Chen Xian felt much calmer. He looked at Ao Hongtian who was sitting on the city wall and said, "Remember what you said. If you break your promise, I will kill you!"
"Wait!" Ao Hongtian stood up and shouted.
Chen Xian turned back indifferently: "Still want to fight?"
Ao Hongtian shook his head and waved his hand to put down a soundproof air shield. He said, "Chen Xian, I won't hide it from you. My demon clan has been attacking Daning all these years to get the Axe of Creation, but not to save the demon in the Black Abyss."
"and then?"
"I know you call us monsters. Even if I am a monster and you are a human, we are both practicing and seeking the truth. Since seeking the truth means we want to become immortals."
"There is a gate in the southernmost void area of our clan called Xuantian Gate. Open it and you can go to the fairyland."
"Don't you want to go to the fairyland?"
"My clan will not take the Axe of Creation, but we can cooperate. You take the Axe of Creation, and together we will leave this world and head for the vaster fairyland."
Hearing this, Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly. Fairyland?
Xianwu version panel, ninth level of spiritual refining?
Could it be the realm in the fairyland?
After pondering for a while, Chen Xian suddenly asked with his spiritual consciousness: "Senior Black Lotus, is there a real fairyland behind Xuantian Gate?"
"Not bad!"
Black Lotus' voice sounded slowly.
"So is this world real or fake?"
"???"
Hei Lian was obviously stunned. He asked, "Boy, what do you mean?"
"That's what it means."
"Of course it is."
Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly. Yes, the panel has been prompting to sacrifice the demon's soul. If it is not a real demon, where would the soul come from?
"What is the realm of the Spirit Refining Realm?"
"Hey, how do you know about the Spirit Refining Realm?" This time, the Black Lotus was shocked. There was a look of disbelief in the black-pupiled red eye at the center of the lotus.
"Senior, don't worry about how I know. Just tell me directly."
"The Spirit Refining Realm is the realm of cultivating immortals." Hei Lian said succinctly.
"So, what I practiced before was all fake?"
“This…” Hei Lian hesitated and said, “It’s not false. Although Lu Fengtian took a wrong path, he also walked his own path. This path also leads directly to the immortal path. However, if he enters the immortal world, his cultivation strength may be weaker, and his cultivation realm may change his title.”
"But the cultivation realm of the Immortal Realm is absolutely correct."
Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood that it was the panel upgrade that corrected his cultivation realm.
"That Heavenly Tribulation Realm?"
"Tenth level of soul refining."
"So who are you, Senior!?"
"This seat is above the soul refining."
Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, "So, Old Devil Huang, the Demon Dragon, and the Witch are all above the Spirit Refining level?"
"Not bad!"
Hei Lian was puzzled: "Is this the realm that the drunkard told you about?"
"Senior Jiu?" Chen Xian frowned slightly. He remembered that when he killed Ji Changfeng, the drunkard said that he was injured and his strength was only one tenth of what it was. Even so, he was still very terrifying.
"He is also above the level of Spirit Refining?"
"Yes, didn't he tell you?" Hei Lian asked.
Chen Xian did not answer, "Senior, now that this matter is over, I will find you a body as soon as possible so that you can see the light of day again."
"Good boy, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I will definitely remember it in my heart." Hei Lian said and closed his eyes.
Chen Xian confirmed some problems from Hei Lian and his mentality changed again.
He looked at Ao Hongtian and said, "Let me think about it first."
"it is good!"
Ao Hongtian was very excited. Even though he had grudges with Chen Xian, and even the grudge of their ancestor being killed, his holy clan still wanted to get the Axe of Creation to open the Xuantian Gate and go to the fairyland to save Cang Shen.
Of course, when you really reach the fairyland, the world will be more vast, the speed of cultivation will be faster, and your cultivation strength will only be stronger.
So at this moment, Ao Hongtian no longer hated Chen Xian. He said, "I'll wait for you!"
Chen Xian said nothing more and soared into the sky.
Ao Hongtian also withdrew his troops.
The eyes of Yu Longze and the other two from the sea tribe flashed, and finally the sea tribe army left.
……
The day.
A black figure appeared on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and opened his mouth to absorb the blood and energy floating between heaven and earth. This person was Luan Hongyu, the incarnation of the old demon Huang.
"There's so much blood!"
Luan Hongyu raised a cold smile and wandered around every corner with a look of enjoyment on her face.
And Chen Xian has returned to Fulong City.
"Chen Xian, I have reached the realm of supernatural powers!" Ning Shiqi was very happy and took Chen Xian's arm.
Chen Xian also pretended to be happy for her. What supernatural power realm? It was all fake.
"Brother, did you win?" Chen Rong also rushed up and held Chen Xian's other arm.
Looking at his sister's expectant expression, Chen Xian smiled and nodded.
"Ah, that's great!" Chen Rong jumped for joy.
Chen Xian stared at his sister's back and suddenly realized that he, his sister, and his father Chen Quan had hardly changed in appearance over the years. The main difference was their dressing style, which made their temperaments different. Of course, his father was still middle-aged, so it was normal that he hadn't changed much, but it was a bit abnormal that he and his sister hadn't changed much in appearance.
"Qingshan Jue? Health-preserving exercise, cultivation method?"
Chen Xian murmured in his heart. He felt that his sister and father could not possibly master the cultivation method of immortality. At most, they could master the health-preserving exercises.
There are some changes in appearance between him and his sister, and even between Tang Can, Wang Yan and others, but not very big.
Regarding this problem, Chen Xian thought of the law of time. Perhaps there is a problem with the time in this world.
Chen Xian found his father Chen Quan, who was chopping wood. Seeing his son coming back, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Xian'er, is the battle at Zhenyaoguan over?"
"Yes, Dad!" Chen Xian smiled and nodded, "You can let the servants do these rough jobs. If you do all the work for them, what will they do?"
"It's okay, Dad is not tired, just think of it as stretching your muscles." Chen Quan smiled.
"Dad, how is your practice of Qingshan Jue going?"
"I haven't even reached the first level of Qi cultivation. I just think of it as a way to maintain my health. I don't think of cultivating to become an immortal. I'll just live my life like this. I'll spend every day with you brothers and sisters."
Chen Xian nodded secretly.
This time, he was completely certain that [Qingshan Jue] was a method of cultivating immortals. Even the first level of health-preserving and Qi-refining realm was not something that ordinary people could practice.
There is a kind of energy in my father's body, which should be the true energy mentioned in the mental method.
As long as this true energy does not dissipate, Dad will live a long life.
May 17th.
Yu Longze came to Fulong City alone to meet Chen Xian.
Chen Xian knew why he came here, "Go back and tell Mo Long that I will go find him when I have time."
A hint of excitement flashed in Yu Longze's eyes, and he said goodbye to Chen Xian and returned to the sea clan.
Chen Xian completely adjusted his state. Although he was a little uncomfortable after the panel upgrade and even felt unfamiliar with the realm, it did not affect his continued practice of the [Eight Desolate Gods and Demons Sacred Body Sutra].
This technique is still a martial art as shown on the panel, but its level has been changed to lower grade.
He understood that it should be at a lower level compared to immortal magic.
According to the standards of this world, it is an immortal-level technique.
Kyoto City.
Outside Shangcheng Palace, Chen Xian slowly appeared. The young Liu Dai was scolding a group of young eunuchs. When he heard a light cough, he quickly turned around.
Seeing that it was Chen Xian, Liu Dai hurriedly came forward and said, "Your servant greets the King of Side by Side."
"Your Majesty, did you not rest?"
"Your Majesty has already received the victory report from the Demon Suppression Pass. He is so happy that he can't sleep. He is just waiting to join the King."
Chen Xian nodded and walked towards Shangcheng Palace.
Ning Chen was busy in the imperial study. Although the matter of Demon Suppression Pass was the most critical, the world had just been settled and there were many affairs to deal with in various regions. King Yan was unwilling to get involved in state affairs, and only King Yunyang Ningyang could help him deal with some things and reduce his burden.
Even so, Ning Chen had to be busy until late every day before he could sit down to rest for a while and enter the state of cultivation.
So now he can understand his father very well, and he really believes that one should not meddle in matters that are not within his jurisdiction.
"Idle brother."
"See Your Majesty!"
"Didn't I tell you that there's no need to follow the rituals of ruler and subject when it's just the two of us?"
Chen Xian smiled and nodded, then sat down with Ning Chen.
"Brother Xian, this time, you have truly become famous throughout the world. We have accomplished what even our father has not been able to do." Ning Chen said with a smile.
Chen Xian said: "I did not order the monster tribe's elite army to be killed, and I also let Ao Hongtian and Feng Jiuming go."
"Mr. Wen from Fengtian Academy is right. The law of survival is that if the human race wants to become stronger, there must be pressure from both inside and outside. Even though stability in the world is a good thing, too much stability may not necessarily be a good thing."
"Everything will turn to its opposite when it reaches its extreme. Leaving some power to the demon race will also be a good training for the future generations of Daning."
Ning Chen nodded: "Brother Xian, do you know what my father said to me before he died?"
Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, "Since Emperor Ning doesn't want me, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince to know, you should just keep it in your heart."
Hearing this, Ning Chen chuckled and nodded, saying, "Brother Xian, you know, I never thought about sitting on this throne. Although I am a prince, you also know that I used to have a bad reputation. At that time, I just wanted to avoid being bullied. I went to the Demon Suppression Pass and met you."
"At that time, it wasn't that I didn't want to integrate with you, but I was afraid that you would know my identity and look down on me in your hearts."
"Since I met you, I have finally understood what brotherhood means, what it means to sacrifice one's life for the sake of love, and what it means to be loyal to one another. We have come this far step by step, especially when we entered the Immortal Tomb together. Since then, I feel that my outlook has been broadened."
"Haha... even my father is not as capable as I am!"
"Compared to cultivation and immortality, being an emperor is nothing. If I didn't want to see the lives of all living beings in the world suffer, I would never sit in this position."
"So, what about the future of Daning? I have never thought that far ahead. Don't be fooled by the nice things I said when I ascended the throne. That was all for the sake of compliance."
"From the Warring States Period to the present, through the Great Shang Dynasty, the Great Qing Dynasty, and the Great Ning Dynasty, there has been no dynasty in this world that has not declined. Isn't the divine monk Qing Yan the prince of the previous dynasty? I have never seen him want to restore the country?"
"So, we should do a good job when we are here, and when we are not here, we can leave it to the next person and relax."
Chen Xian nodded with a smile: "Brother Jiu can understand these things, and his achievements in the future will definitely be higher."
Ning Chen said: "I have thought it through. I will let my third brother handle the affairs of state for me. When the time is right, I will give him the position. I will concentrate on cultivation."
"In fact, I do have one thing in my heart that I am obsessed with, and that is the Sky Breaking Realm. No one in my Daning royal family has ever used the Eight Desolate God-Slaying Art to cultivate to the Sky Breaking Realm. I want to give it a try."
Chen Xian said: "Ninth brother, you only told me about abdicating and letting others succeed you. You can't tell anyone else. Once someone hears it, it will definitely shake the foundation of the country and even cause rivers of blood to flow."
Ning Chen said: "Don't worry, I will only tell you something from my heart. Even if I really do this, I will only do it after I have thought it through completely."
……
Qingyang City.
The Chief Demon-Suppressing Officer, Luo Ying, was sitting in the Demon-Suppressing Hall handling his official duties.
Not long after, a captain in black came in and reported, "Master Si Zheng, Mr. Fang Jing of the Fang family greets you."
"Fang Jing?" Luo Ying frowned slightly. Fang Jing was a monstrous genius who won the top 20 in the martial arts competition. Now he seemed to have reached the ninth level of Wanxiang cultivation and was more powerful than him, the Demon Suppression Chief.
"Okay, lead him to the side hall, I'll be there soon." Luo Ying said, quickly dealing with the matters at hand.
A quarter of an hour later.
Side hall.
"Mr. Fang!"
"Meet Luo Sizheng."
Fang Jing looked to be about thirty years old, dressed in a green brocade robe, looking young and heroic.
Luo Ying smiled and nodded. After the two of them sat down, he said, "When I came to Qingyang to take office, I originally wanted to go to the Fang family to visit Emperor Fang Wu first. There were too many things going on in the Demon Suppression Division, and I was slow to deal with them because I had no experience, so I wasted time."
Fang Jing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. My ancestor has always liked peace and quiet and doesn't want to have too much contact with worldly people, especially those from the imperial court."
"Mr. Fang, what is the matter with your visit this time?"
"Not really. I like making friends. I would feel regretful if I didn't get to know a young genius like Luo Sizheng." Fang Jing said with a smile.
Luo Ying said: "Mr. Fang is really good at talking. In fact, Emperor Fang Wu is unwilling to deal with the court, but he has allowed your family to serve in the court. Mr. Fang is young and promising. If you want to serve the court, I am willing to recommend you."
Fang Jing waved his hands: "I am used to being lazy. If you really give me a position, I will not be used to it." Then he smiled and said: "I remember Luo Sizheng is also from Qingyang Realm, right? Is he from the Luo family in Luo County?" (End of this chapter)
