"Xu Shipu...his situation is more complicated. To be precise, he is not in our plan." Daoling Linghuang only gave the simplest answer.

"Oh?" Yu Ling was slightly surprised and said bluntly: "Is it possible that Elder Xu has such a tacit understanding with you all? He obviously also knows about me."

"Yes, he knows, Wanfa told him."

Daoling Linghuang did not wait for Yu Ling to ask further questions and continued: "In a sense, he can also be regarded as Wanfa's senior brother."

What? Xu Shipu turned out to be...

This was another extremely shocking news. Yu Ling's pupils shrank and she was silent.

Wanfa Lingzun is a close disciple of Ancestor Daoling. He knew this in advance, but Xu Shipu...

Yuling quickly went through all the information about Xu Shipu in his mind and locked in a few doubtful points.

After all, when he was on Tianyuan Star, he had already investigated this enemy in detail through various channels, and he definitely knew Xu Shipu better than many elders of the Yuanling Tribe.

However, Xu Shipu's early experience was very vague, and the Yuanling clan kept it secret, because it was not a glorious history, and mentioning it too much might lead to liquidation by the vengeful elder.

His father died at the end of the war between the five tribes, at the hands of the Xuanling tribe, leaving only his mother to raise him.

He was not from a royal family, and his talent was only unsatisfactory, far inferior to the most outstanding geniuses at that time.

However, their lineage has outstanding military exploits and a long history, and the resources they possess make many branches of the royal family extremely jealous.

Therefore, when the war between the five races came to an end, this pair of orphans and widows were targeted.

At this time, the clan members of Xu Shipu's lineage were almost wiped out, and most of them died on the battlefield.

The final result was that Xu Shipu's mother escaped from Tianyuan Star with him, but due to serious injuries, she died within a few years.

Xu Shipu was still a teenager at that time and disappeared from the sight of the Yuanling clan.

Hundreds of years later, this long-forgotten loser suddenly made a strong comeback and became the famous killer of Suyuan Palace, and was hailed as the rookie most likely to succeed the palace master.

Xu Shipu is indeed not a particularly outstanding genius.

At the peak of the True Dao realm for more than five hundred years, such people can be found everywhere in the Yuanling clan, but they cannot be said to be brilliant.

But ever since Xu Shipu took the initiative to retreat to the Demon-Hungry Star for hundreds of years and broke through to the realm of leaving the Tao in one fell swoop, he truly became a big shot among tens of thousands of people.

After that, after going through many battles all the way, he finally reached the pinnacle of Li Dao and ascended the throne of the Great Elder, where he remains today.

In terms of strength, he is the undisputed number one master of the Yuanling clan, and in terms of qualifications, he is second only to a few elders in the clan.

For a long time, he managed the Yuanling Clan conscientiously, so that he could barely maintain the delicate balance between the two major spiritual clans.

Therefore, no one, including Yun Mengdie, thought that Xu Shipu would seek power and usurp the throne, because as long as he wanted to, he had many opportunities in these thousands of years, but he chose the worst time.

Combining the words of Emperor Daoling Ling, Yu Ling looked back at Xu Shipu's past and seemed to have understood seven or eight points.

"Xu Shipu disappeared for hundreds of years in his early years. Was it at that time that he met your ancestor?" Yu Ling asked.

Dao Lingling Emperor nodded slightly: "The ancestor was not the ancestor at that time. He once told the elders of the clan that he had accepted an interesting disciple, but other clan members had never seen him."

"As far as I know, your ancestor never accepted a disciple in the following thousands of years. Even the Wanfa Spirit Master only allowed him to follow and guide him for a period of time. Then why does he value Xu Shipu so much?" Yu Ling

road.

After all, Xu Shipu at that time should have been very ordinary. How could he, a member of the Yuanling tribe, become the only disciple of the Daoling ancestor?

"These things are too long ago, and Wan Fa and I heard about them through hearsay. Maybe... they have something to do with Yan Po." Dao Ling Linghuang said.

Yan soul...

The first time Yu Ling heard this word was when it was mentioned by the king of the Corpse Clan. He had reached a deal with the Fire Refining Sect and wanted them to help find Yan Soul to solve the curse of the Corpse Clan.

However, the curse has dissipated, but Yu Ling still hasn't seen what Yan Po looks like. Anyway, the Yuanling tribe does not have such a divine object.

"My clan has been exploring the chaos for tens of thousands of years, but we have only found three souls in total."

Dao Linglinghuang said: "First, it was absorbed by the ancestor of our clan, second, it was absorbed by Xu Shipu, and third... the ancestor gave it to you to help you stabilize that ray of divinity."

"Those who can absorb the soul must have the potential to become immortal, because they can accommodate the immortal divinity. Even if other people encounter such divine objects, they will only be assimilated by them and their souls will disappear."

"Unfortunately, neither Wan Fa nor Dao Zhan and I have such potential, but Xu Shipu, whose qualifications are only above average, can. Perhaps the ancestor discovered this and accepted him as a disciple."

Yu Ling was silent for a moment.

I see……

When he passed through the Tao Gate and first came to this world, he was clearly still in the state of Tao transformation.

If Yan Po hadn't helped him stabilize his soul, he might have been lost forever in the transformation path, assimilated by that ray of divinity, and lost his self-awareness, let alone taking over this body smoothly and starting without any hindrance.

new life.

After all, he was just an "ordinary person" at that time, and he could not do such a thing with his own strength.

"So, Xu Shipu is the move that you have buried the deepest? On the surface, he is in tit-for-tat with the Daoling clan, but in fact, he has always been an ally with you?" Yu Ling said.

Dao Lingling Emperor shook his head: "No, I don't know what the ancestor's intention was in training him, and we don't know his identity at all. It was him who took the initiative to talk to Wanfa after the ancestor returned from the Taoist sect.

At the same time, I asked about the ancestor’s situation.”

"Xu Shipu has many secrets that we don't know, but one thing is obvious. He has been pursuing the path to immortality from beginning to end. Since it cannot be achieved in this world, he is willing to find a way to a new world for that slim hope.

path.”

"This is consistent with our purpose."

"Of course he cares about the Yuanling Clan, but what he cares more about is himself. Besides, he believes that as long as he reaches the realm of immortality, the Yuanling Clan will survive forever."

A slight smile appeared on the lips of Emperor Dao Lingling: "In order to prevent anyone from getting in the way, there was the coup of the Yuanling clan, and there was the second cooperation between our two clans."

Yu Ling said calmly: "Everything else makes sense, but there is one thing that is illogical."

"It was sixteen years ago that he came to cooperate with you, but he has been planning to seize power for at least hundreds of years, and before that, he clearly had more and better opportunities."

"Because he is not of royal blood, he cannot be the Spirit Emperor and can only support the puppet. But this cannot last forever, there are too many variables." Dao Ling Emperor explained patiently: "So taking action too early will not help. He has to wait for someone.

The perfect time."

"He has been practicing for a long time, and he may have a lot of knowledge in the study of numerology. He must have calculated something, so he made plans in advance, but he has not taken any action."

"The moment he saw you, he should have already understood that you are the opportunity he has been waiting for."

"In the eyes of others, this is not a perfect opportunity, but the Yuanling Clan's supreme power is only a means for Xu Shipu to realize his wish, not an end."

After hearing this, Yu Ling didn't understand anything anymore.

Sure enough, Xu Shipu did not kill him. On the one hand, he knew that he could not be killed, and on the other hand, he expressed Xu Shipu's hope of immortality and the hope of going to the new world.

Therefore, Xu Shipu also cooperated with the Daoling clan and "helped" him practice all the way, hoping to help him reach the realm of immortality as soon as possible.

As for the hatred between the two... when Yu Ling entered the realm of gods, she lost all human emotions and naturally did not care about the past grudges.

Because God is ruthless, equal, and transcendent.

It was when Emperor Dao Lingling pointed out these things today that Yu Ling suddenly realized that since leaving the peak of Dao, his emotions had become increasingly indifferent, and this process was subtle and did not attract his attention.

He has indeed changed a lot, and he seems increasingly alienated from the people around him.

Just like now, he has learned many closely related secrets, but his heart is calm and unruffled, as if he is listening to other people's stories.

He clearly knew that the Dao Ling Ling Emperor in front of him was the mastermind behind the arrangement of his life for more than ten years, but he could not feel anger and hatred, as if this was a normal thing.

In fact, if he wanted to take revenge, Emperor Dao Lingling was no match for him at all.

Yu Ling realized that he was indeed getting closer to the realm of immortality. This was what he had always expected, but... was this really a good thing?

He was a little shaken.

Divinity is gradually gaining the upper hand, and the moment he loses his obsession with killing Yu Miao may be the moment his humanity completely dissipates.

In fact, from the beginning, this ray of divinity dominated his consciousness.

Unlike Xue Qingling, who lost his soul, he can sense various emotions, but these emotions basically do not affect his judgment. He can always maintain a very calm and rational state.

So sensible...even a little cold-blooded.

His original personality does tend to be calm and reserved, but not to the point where he is often swayed by emotions, no different from ordinary people.

But after coming to this world, such situations rarely happen.

He thought it was because he, as an outsider, always had a sense of detachment as a bystander, but in fact it was the influence of divinity on him.

People have superego, id and ego. If divinity is compared to superego and human nature is compared to id, the balance will be his self.

If there is only superego but no id...

What will he become?

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Dao Lingling Emperor's voice interrupted Yu Ling's thoughts.
