Xu Yang was shocked, but his body involuntarily moved closer to the young man. He slowly walked to the steps, reached out his hand, and said nothing.
When the young man saw Xu Yang standing in front of him, the emotions hidden deep within his heart burst forth like a flood, unstoppable. He hugged Xu Yang's leg and cried loudly.
Initially, he was just an ordinary member of the Xu family, with mediocre aptitude, talent, and physical body. Later, as a teenager, he accidentally entered a deep mountain and obtained a piece of copper. This copper contained the remnant soul of his master. Under his master's guidance, his body underwent earth-shattering changes in just a few months. His master taught him mysterious ancient scriptures, found great medicines for him, changed his root bones, and repeatedly helped him overcome difficulties. Later, when he established the Heavenly Court, he was grateful for his master's kindness and wanted to reshape his master's physical body, but his master refused because his master was ready to be reincarnated and rebuilt. He did not understand why his master did this, but he respected his master's choice.
Later, without his master's support, he could only resolve all the difficulties he encountered directly. Although he was known as the number one Heavenly Emperor in the world, he was very lonely, with no one behind him. Later, he was even betrayed by his own family.
He was so painful and sad. After endless years, he could not confide in anyone about the suffering in his heart. He clearly shed his blood and tears for this world, so why did he end up like this?!
He didn't understand, and he was unwilling, unwilling to fail. He was clearly only one step away from exterminating those alien races!
It was this unwillingness that allowed his will to be maintained until now, and he believed that since his master was reincarnated, then with his master's ability, as long as he did not dissipate, the two masters and apprentices would eventually meet one day, and as he thought in his heart, he waited for this day.
Xu Yang touched the young man's head and comforted him:
"Human power has its limits, you have done your best!"
This was the truth. He had failed to exterminate the alien races even after nine lifetimes, and his disciple had only lived one lifetime. How could he be harsh on him?
Hearing his master's words, the young man's inner depression was slightly relieved. He raised his head and looked at his master with clear eyes, saying:
"Master, I wonder what the situation is outside?"
He looked at Xu Yang expectantly, just like when he was a child, when he first got the piece of copper and heard that the person inside was going to change his fate against the heavens, full of hope.
"It's chaotic, very chaotic."
Xu Yang was not very clear about the specific situation. After all, he was still wandering around in the so-called 'Sin Domain' and had not yet gone to the Upper Realm to see what was going on. However, according to his understanding of those Upper Realm beings during this period, the situation in the Upper Realm would not be good even if it was good. Those nobles who used the 'Sin Domain' beings as blood and flesh medicines, one by one, were estimated to have great problems, either as white gloves of the alien races or as the alien races themselves.
"How could this be?"
The young man's expression froze, and he asked in doubt.
He remembered that although he was defeated, he also killed most of the alien races, leaving only a few small cats and dogs. Later people should be able to deal with them easily!
Later people couldn't be so useless, right? Even if they were useless, wasn't there still a master? Could it be that the master couldn't do it either? This was impossible. Everything he learned came from the master, so how could the master not be able to do it!
"The alien races you killed were only a small batch. As long as the passage between the two worlds is not closed, the world where the alien races are located will send people to descend continuously, just like the Upper Realm sending people to the Lower Realm. Therefore, the alien races are like leeks. After killing a batch, it will not take long before a new batch can grow again!"
Xu Yang deduced a rough idea based on his nine lifetimes of memory and told the young man in simple and easy-to-understand words.
After hearing this, the young man fell into deep confusion. He began to doubt himself, whether everything he had done before was in vain, and whether the world he was in would eventually be enslaved by the alien races?!
A nameless anger rose in his heart, wishing he could rush out of this palace and fight with those alien races, so as to win more living space for the creatures of the world, but he couldn't, because he now only had a wisp of will left, and he still needed to use this wisp of will to suppress the alien races under the coffin. These alien races were extremely tenacious. Although they had been severely damaged by his suppression, and many alien races had even been wiped out, he must not underestimate these alien races, because these alien races were like tumbleweeds. If they were given a little chance, they would be able to grow rapidly.
Xu Yang saw the young man's thoughts and patiently said to him:
"Don't be angry, the weak are prey to the strong, and the fittest survive, not to mention, there is still a teacher!"
"Master is right, this world, there is still you, it must not be destroyed!"
The anger in the young man's heart subsided, and he said to Xu Yang with a smile, his expression on his face was very interesting, obviously a generation of Heavenly Emperor, but he behaved like a naughty child.
"It's just that the master's strength is too weak. This disciple will hand over a celestial treasure to the master later, hoping that the master can carry my last wish and return this world to clarity!"
Xu Yang reached out and gently patted the young man's head, and scolded: "What last wish is not a last wish, stop talking nonsense, life is still long."
The young man smiled with tears in his eyes, looked at Xu Yang, and said: "Master, in fact, I know that you have lost the memory of your previous life, but you just said this sentence, when I was young, you also said it to me!"
"Alas ~!"
Xu Yang sighed and said, "I really don't have the memory of my previous life, but I do feel very familiar with you, just like father and son, blood is connected together, inseparable!"
"Hahaha!"
The young man laughed brightly, tears splashing, and said: "Master, when I wanted to worship you as a foster father, you said that the word foster father was unlucky and sternly refused me to become your adopted son. I didn't expect that today, you would say the words father and son from your mouth. The child is really satisfied..."
Huh?
Xu Yang keenly noticed a trace of something wrong. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that his previous life might also be...
Regarding this, he didn't delve into it and looked at the young man and said:
"You still don't be satisfied, I'm afraid you'll leave directly. Who will suppress the alien races under the coffin? Can't you let me suppress it!"
The young man's laughter stopped abruptly. He glanced at Xu Yang with some resentment in his eyes, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, and only dared to mutter in a low voice:
"The child won't dissipate immediately, at least he can last for thousands of years. By then, Master, you must have become a Celestial Emperor. At that time, you can come and help your disciple suppress these alien races..."
"Solve your own problems yourself. Since these alien races are suppressed by you, then they should also end in your hands. Live well, at least linger on, I will come back to save you!"
Xu Yang didn't want the young man to have such a self-defeating idea, telling him to hold on, if he had a certain ability in the future, maybe he could help him replenish his divine soul and reshape his physical body.
"Okay, Master, the disciple is waiting for you!"
The young man looked at Xu Yang solemnly. He believed in Master's words, because in his heart, Master had always been an omnipotent existence. If Master had been there at the beginning, maybe everything would have been different, and he would not have needed to rely on the Xu family, which was eating inside and out, and selfish.
"By the way, Master, if you ascend to the Upper Realm, don't use the 《Covering Heaven Scripture》, I'm afraid the Xu family, who has defected to the alien races, will follow the clues and find you, threatening your safety..."
The young man remembered one thing and quickly told Xu Yang.
"Why is this?"
Xu Yang asked.
"Because as long as you practice the 《Covering Heaven Scripture》, the people who practice this technique will have contact with each other. Once the distance is too close, the two can sense each other's existence. Master, you also know that the Xu family betrayed me by defecting to the alien races, and they must be very afraid that I will have a descendant who will come out to seek revenge on them and reproduce the past scene. Therefore, as long as someone practices the 《Covering Heaven Scripture》, they will send someone to assassinate them as soon as possible, and will never give them a chance to grow!"
When the young man talked about the Xu family, his face was full of undisguised contempt, even though he was also a member of the Xu family, he hated the Xu family, who were soft bones, and wished that the Xu family would be destroyed and their bloodline would be cut off. Unfortunately, good people don't live long, and evildoers live for thousands of years. In his opinion, the current Xu family is a nest of evildoers.
Xu Yang didn't expect this. Fortunately, there was the other party's reminder, otherwise, when he ascended to the Upper Realm, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble again. He looked at the young man and said:
"Understood, I will be careful, the time wasted is long enough, you send me out!"
The young man also knew that time was tight. Although he wanted to stay with his master for a while longer and relive the carefree time of his youth, the will he left behind was limited and could not last long. So, he nodded and said:
"Okay, Master, the disciple will send you out!"
As the young man's voice fell, almost instantly, Xu Yang, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes was completely restrained.
Ji Daoxuan, who was guarding in front of Xu Yang, saw him open his eyes and quickly asked: "Old Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Yang didn't have anything to hide from Ji Daoxuan, and briefly told Ji Daoxuan what happened in the dream just now.
Ji Daoxuan's expression was still quite casual at first, but when he heard Xu Heavenly Emperor calling Xu Yang his master, he couldn't hold back his expression, and he looked at Xu Yang with even more shock, his eyes almost popping out, and he stammered:
"Old Xu, you... what did you say, say it again, I can't have heard it wrong, right?"
"You didn't hear it wrong, but, Old Ji, you don't have to care, those are all things from the past life, in this life, let's talk about each other!"
Xu Yang was very open to this kind of thing, thinking that it was nothing great, no matter how brilliant the past life was, it was also the past life, and it had little to do with him in this life, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes as in the past life, in this life he must walk a new path, so as to avoid the risk of falling.
Can this be discussed separately?
Ji Daoxuan's legs trembled, and he almost couldn't help but kneel in front of Xu Yang. He knew that Xu Yang's past life identity must be very noble, but he didn't expect it to be so noble, that he was the master of a generation of Heavenly Court, wouldn't that be the Emperor Teacher?!
At this point, he remembered that when he wanted to bring together Little Red Luan and Old Xu, many elders in the clan opposed it, thinking that the Ji family was an immortal clan and had a noble status, how could a small mortal cultivator be worthy of it?
At that time, he felt that these elders' brains were broken, and now, he felt that these elders' brains were even more broken, and they might have even been kicked in the head by hundreds of thousands of donkeys, otherwise they wouldn't have said such stupid things.
Is the immortal clan very noble? Noble my ass, if it is noble, how can it be used as a dog by these upper realm beings, and the so-called immortal clan is just each family putting gold on their faces?
Can you be called an immortal clan if you have an immortal? Then the upper realm, so many large and small forces, wouldn't they all be immortal clans, and they are all rotten on the street!
Compared with the identity of Old Xu's Emperor Teacher, it is even more insignificant!
"Old Xu, why don't you call me brother in the future!" Ji Daoxuan felt that if he called Xu Yang brother again, he might lose his life, the teacher of the Heavenly Emperor, he really couldn't bear this cause and effect!
"Hahaha, Old Ji is joking, my age in this life is not yet a hundred years old, calling you brother, doesn't it make me look like an old monster?"
Xu Yang said in a relaxed tone.
"Old Xu, you're right, thinking about it, if you call me brother, it sounds weird."
Ji Daoxuan heard the words, wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was really scared by Xu Yang's identity, but thinking that what Xu Yang said was also reasonable, he was not yet a hundred years old, and he was already over ten thousand years old, compared with him calling Xu Yang brother, Xu Yang calling him brother seemed even more unreasonable.
Suddenly, at this moment, the blood-colored coffin not far away moved, the coffin lid slowly opened, and endless chaotic mist filled the air, making it impossible to see the specific appearance inside, only vaguely seeing a male corpse that had not rotted and was still well-preserved lying quietly inside, and beside him, there was a fairy medicine, showing a strange shape, like the legendary Jianmu Divine Tree, emitting an incomparably majestic and holy light, paving a long chain, as if connecting the sky and the earth, making people can't help but give birth to a ray of worship!
Ji Daoxuan stared straight at the fairy medicine, widened his eyes, and couldn't help but said: "This... this is..."
"It's Jianmu Tree, but it hasn't grown up yet, it's still in its infancy!" Xu Yang said.
"No, Old Xu, I know it's Jianmu Tree, what I want to know is, is your disciple showing this fairy seed just for us to see, or is it saying..."
Ji Daoxuan's language system seemed to be completely disordered, and he didn't know what to say, it was a mess.
There was no way, this can't blame Ji Daoxuan, because Jianmu Tree, like the Qilin Undead Medicine that Xu Yang owns, is one of the top ten heaven and earth spiritual objects, and even the ranking of Jianmu Tree is above the Qilin Undead Medicine, because once Jianmu Tree grows up, it can be used as a weapon, and its power is not inferior to any fairy soldiers, and even surpasses it, plus the characteristics of Jianmu Tree itself, connecting the sky and the earth, and being naturally close to the origin of the law, if you use it to practice, it will make your practice twice as effective!
