"I'm very curious, why does the Lord not cooperate with the Ming Ancestor faction, but forms an alliance with me, a big enemy?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The dark body said: "As far as I am concerned, the only great enemies are the Eternal True Master and the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus. Your grudges with that person have nothing to do with me."
The "that one" she was talking about obviously refers to the dark and strange person in the Sword Temple, that is, the head of the Dark Lord that was taken away by the Eternal Prime.
Obviously, after the war thousands of years ago, the Dark Lord's body was divided and his consciousness was quite differentiated.
The dark body continued: "Besides, in the face of life and death, no matter how big a grudge is, it must be put aside temporarily."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm cooperating with you because you are young enough, arrogant and confident enough, and don't understand the horror of me at all."
"Those of the Ming Ancestor faction know very well how powerful I am, and they can cooperate, but they must take precautions over and over again, and they cannot give me the chance to continue to become stronger. They will seal me under the strength of the ancestors!"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Do you think I will give you a chance to become stronger?"
"Do you have any other choice?"
The dark body said: "You suppress the black hand, but you cannot refine it and destroy it. You must use your strength to suppress it, so that you are often unable to fight with all your strength. Give the black hand to me and let me fuse it to help me reach the ancestor.
A level of combat power is most beneficial to you."
Zhang Ruochen's smile became even brighter: "When you reach the ancestor-level combat power, the first person you want to kill is me, right?"
"Why do I want to kill you? There is nothing in you that I want. You are not a threat to me, and I am not a threat to you. It is not that we cannot coexist."
The dark remnant continued: "You should know very well that the Underworld Ancestor faction and the God Realm are powerful. Only when I reach the Ancestor level can I truly contain them and buy you time to attack the Ancestor. Therefore, you must help me!
"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Before I make a decision, can you answer me a question? Who are the Ancestor of the Underworld and the Ancestor of Time and Space, and where are they?"
The dark remnant body said: "I can't answer your question! Because I am the new consciousness of this body. Although some memory fragments have been awakened, I only have a concept of these two people. Perhaps, let me reach the level of the ancestors.
In this environment, I can awaken more memories and help you solve this mystery."
Zhang Ruochen would not believe her words, so he raised the eternal soul fire in his palm and said, "I can't give you this soul fire."
"It's just a ball of soul fire, and I'm not interested in it. I just want the black hand in your hand!" the dark body said.
Apparently the Dark Remnant didn't know that both black hands were under Zhang Ruochen's control.
Zhang Ruochen considered it for a moment and said, "Does your lord know what my biggest worry is?"
"What?"
"Indeed, I really hope that the Lord can contain the God Realm and the Hades Faction, but I am more worried that the Lord has cooperated with the Hades Faction and pretended to form an alliance with me, just to defraud the Black Hand. Therefore, before handing the Black Hand to you, Your Majesty
The Lord must prove himself first." Zhang Ruochen said.
The dark body said: "How do you want me to prove it?"
"Help me deal with the spirit of the sea of underworld. I will get the eighteenth level of the netherworld and purgatory world, and you can get this black hand in my hands." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Everyone in the world says that you, Zhang Ruochen, keep your word, and I believe in you."
The Dark Remnant was so brittle that he agreed to Zhang Ruochen's conditions.
Then, with the strong spatial fluctuations and tremors, she gradually disappeared into the depths of the space.
The room returned to normal, with only the flames of the lamps beating gently.
"You can't even look down on this eternal soul fire? This is comparable to a god-level soul!"
Zhang Ruochen looked at the soul fire in his hand and secretly thought about the risks of this cooperation with Hu Moupi.
There is one thing that Mother has no doubt about. If Zhang Ruochen shows even the slightest hint of fear just now, she will take action without hesitation to seize the Black Hand and Soul Fire.
Because she was not sure, she could only choose a safer strategy.
"Peng!"
Chi Yao, Burial Golden White Tiger, and Xiuchen God broke in one after another and filled the room.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen who was calm and composed, Xiu Chentian said, "What's going on? Who's here? He's a bit ridiculously strong. He can't be a certain half-ancestor, right?"
"Don't be nervous, an old friend." Zhang Ruochen said.
…
North Pole Prime is the northernmost seventh-level primary star in the northern universe. It has a diameter of one million miles and is comparable in size to many stars.
Further north, we enter the vast and vast wasteland of the universe.
The divine ship flew silently into the atmosphere of the North Pole Star and stopped in a bay. It was wrapped in an array arranged by Tian Yuanwuque, which even the gods sitting on the North Star could not detect.
Qing Su boarded the divine ship, saluted Zhang Ruochen who stood at the bow of the ship, and said, "I have met the master."
"Qing Su, you have been in charge of everything in the northern universe in the sword world these years. Thank you for your hard work! Take me to see the Emperor Ancestor God Lord. I know he is on the North Pole Prime." Zhang Ruochen said.
Qing Su was not surprised that Zhang Ruochen could understand the secret of heaven and said: "The Divine Lord is in the Holy City of Qixia."
The Emperor's Ancestral God Lord is a supreme talent of the same generation as the Dragon Lord and the Ice Emperor. He is not only capable of cultivating talents, but also can compete with others in terms of talent and wisdom.
In this era, the older generation of monks gradually withered away, and the Emperor and Ancestor God-Monarch entered the ranks of the Twenty Heavens, becoming the most vigorous and powerful man in the heavenly universe.
After leading the Imperial Ancestral Dynasty to unify the Imperial World, the ranking of the Great World directly surpassed the Zhenwu Realm and ranked second in the Northern Universe. It was second only to the dominant world of the Northern Universe, the Wanxu Realm.
Compared to the abstinence of the Dragon Lord and the devotion of the Ice Emperor, the Emperor of the Ancestral God Realm, as an emperor with countless concubines and thousands of children, obviously knows how to enjoy life better.
This aspect is quite similar to Zhang Ruochen!
The Royal Ship of the Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord is his temple palace, which is more than sixty miles long and made of divine forged materials. It is nine stories high and is spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of monks.
The emperor's ancestor, with a body as majestic as a sacred mountain, gorgeous dragon robes, and sharp features, was already waiting outside a pavilion at the bow of the ship.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao, his face was filled with a confident and sincere smile, and he said: "We have not seen each other for many years, and we meet again! Di Chen, Queen, please sit down."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Shenjun is too polite!"
The three of them sat down in the pavilion, and a line of maids presented them with various meals and divine wine.
Qing Sugui is the leader of the Shentian Sect and a revered figure, but he can only stand aside and is not qualified to sit down.
After some pleasantries, Emperor Ancestor Divine Lord asked: "Di Chen came to North Pole Prime, but he wants to go to Beize Great Wall?"
"Can't I just come to see Lord Shen to reminisce about the past?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord held the bronze cup, his eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom, and said: "Qingsu, you heard, your master came to me to reminisce about the past. If this matter is spread, my status in the universe will be at least
It has to be raised to a higher level.”
Zhang Ruochen said: "I really want to drink and sing with the Lord Shen, discuss Shinto, and talk about the general trend of the world, but before that, I would like to ask the Lord Shen to clarify my doubts. Is it her own will that Princess Yunzhen worships in the eternal heaven, or the Lord Shen's?
arrange?"
The Emperor's Ancestor God put away his smile and said: "As the king of a country and the master of a world, I have to consider the inheritance of the country and the world."
"Just like Qing Su became my disciple and joined the sword world, is he actually representing a legacy of the Emperor's Ancestor Dynasty?" Zhang Ruochen said.
The Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord said: "It's just a way of survival! If I had Di Chen's cultivation talent and the support from the world, I wouldn't have chosen such a small path where many parties are betting."
The Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord did not answer directly, but he had already answered!
"Did this answer disappoint Di Chen?"
The Emperor's Ancestor God smiled bitterly and continued: "I didn't cheat or hide, because I don't want to lose you as a close friend. Sometimes, I admire you and Haotian very much. After making a choice, you can be firm and unyielding.
Move and regard death as home."
Zhang Ruochen said: "How does the Divine Lord view the Divine Realm and the Eternal Heaven?"
The Emperor's Ancestor God said: "The Divine Realm is supreme and controls the military power of the monks in the world. However, in the endless years in the past, it has never done anything detrimental to the common people in the world. Now it is coming back with strength, perhaps because of the helplessness of the impending disaster."
Zhang Ruochen said: "So, the Divine Lord has a friendly attitude towards the God Realm? Doesn't it mean that the master of martial arts strangles the necks of all the monks? Can the Divine Lord endure this kind of restraint?"
The Emperor's Ancestor God said: "Perhaps it is because of the existence of the divine world that we have the opportunity to practice martial arts, surpass all living beings, and gain long lifespan and powerful strength?"
"Has the Lord God forgotten that the release of black hands from the God Realm has caused immeasurable casualties to Heaven?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
"Di Chen seems to have forgotten that the God Realm once sent divine envoys to help us deal with the disaster of our ancestors."
The Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord continued: "I have no intention of continuing to argue with Di Chen. With our cultivation level reaching our level, we all understand that things in the world are not black and white. Right or wrong is actually not important at all. The important thing is, how
Do what you can to survive, what can you do to survive better.”
"I have principles, and the bottom line has always been there. But for now, the God Realm has the power to harvest all living beings in the world, but it has not done so. Why should we be blindly hostile to them?"
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Emperor's Ancestor God carefully, finding it difficult to accept that this was still the outstanding Emperor with lofty ambitions that he once knew.
Chi Yao said: "The Lord God knows that the third disciple of the Eternal True Master is the Seventy-second Lotus, and he is also the true master of Zhuo Yun."
The Emperor's Ancestor God frowned at first, then showed a look of surprise, and said: "I understand why Di Chen cares so much! I can swear that before this, I never knew that Zhen'er worshiped the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus
Under the door."
Zhang Ruochen stood up and said: "What I care about is not here, but that from today on, there is one less person who can fight alongside me. Let's go!"
"Qingsu, are you willing to leave with me?"
Leaving here obviously refers to leaving the great world of the Imperial Dao and drawing a clear line with the Emperor, Ancestor and Divine Lord.
How could Qing Su have thought that such a big difference suddenly arose between the ideas of the Emperor, the Divine Lord, and the Master? How could he not be entangled and hesitant in his heart?
She didn't know who was right.
Perhaps, the Emperor and the Divine Lord were too trusting and too reverent of the divine world.
Or perhaps, Master is too extreme.
But in the end, she chose to leave with Zhang Ruochen.
Emperor Ancestor God looked at Zhang Ruochen and the three people who left resolutely, with deep and firm eyes, and said: "Di Chen, one day, you will find that I am the right one."
Leaving the Royal Ship of the Emperor Ancestor God Lord, we walked on the streets of Qixia Holy City.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Qingsu, do you know why the Emperor Ancestor God came to the North Pole Star?"
"The disciples dare not ask about the affairs of the Lord of Gods, perhaps it is the intention of Heavenly Lord Haotian. Although almost all the big worlds and main stars of life in the northern universe have been moved to the surrounding star fields of the Heavenly Court, there must still be the presence of the heavens here.
"Qing Su said.
Chi Yao said: "The Emperor's Divine Lord is a strong-willed monk who can make such a big change in his ideas. I guess it must be influenced by important figures in the Eternal Heaven. He is either a disciple of the Eternal True Master or his own deity.
.Brother Chen...what are you looking at?"
Zhang Ruochen stopped and stared at the busy street. Through the crowds of people, he saw a figure wearing a blue Confucian shirt.
That figure was a hundred meters away.
There were at least hundreds of people on the street between Zhang Ruochen and him, and it was very chaotic.
He didn't appear to be outstanding, and he didn't have powerful aura fluctuations, but Zhang Ruochen discovered him and sensed his extraordinaryness.
He must have been an old man with a few strands of white hair. He stood by the stall and picked up the goods and asked for prices. He seemed to have not reached an agreement, so he left with a smile and his hands behind his back.
He walked very slowly and casually, but Zhang Ruochen could not catch up with him no matter how fast he walked.
Zhang Ruochen came to the stall where the old man in blue and Confucian clothes had just stopped, and looked around. Where could he be seen?
This is a stall selling calligraphy and painting, and the owner is a down-and-out scholar.
Zhang Ruochen picked up the scroll that the old man in Confucian shirt had asked for the price just now and slowly unfolded it. The two boys couldn't help but shrink back.
I saw that on the scroll, there was actually a scene of him, the emperor and the god, and Chi Yao drinking together in the pavilion. Qing Su was standing outside the pavilion. Everyone was lifelike, as if they could break time and space and walk out of the scroll.
"Did you draw this?"
Zhang Ruochen held up the painting and asked the down-and-out scholar.
The down-and-out scholar's eyes widened and he stammered: "This...this..."
Zhang Ruochen said: "What did he just say to you?"
"He...he said that a rich and important person will come to buy this painting later and will give me a lot of money. After I got the money, I should study hard and don't waste my time."
The more the down-and-out scholar talked, the more ashamed he became, because this painting was not painted by him at all, so how could he have the nerve to ask for money?
"Snapped!"
A bag of holy stones was thrown to him.
Zhang Ruochen put away the painting and said: "Study hard and don't let down that person's expectations of you."
Until then, Chi Yao and Qing Su came to the calligraphy and painting stall where they saw Zhang Ruochen buying a painting, and they both looked curious and puzzled.
"What is this painting?" Chi Yao asked.
"This is a warning given to me by others! We were meeting with the Emperor's Ancestor Divine Lord on the Royal Ship just now, and he was also there, but I didn't notice him at all based on my perception. What a terrifying mental power." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Is it the ninety-fourth level?"
Chi Yao's expression turned extremely ugly and she said, "How can you still laugh?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "If you don't laugh, how can you cry? If you look at this painting, what clues can you see?"
Chi Yao took the scroll and just glanced at it. His eyes instantly froze and he said: "The painting style of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch, no, is authentic. How is this possible?"
When Chi Yao became the first empress of the Central Empire, she governed the country based on Confucianism and supported Confucianism and Taoism. She naturally studied a lot of the paintings of the fourth Confucian ancestor and thought she would not admit her mistakes.
But the Fourth Confucian Patriarch has clearly fallen!
"Is there any Confucian and Taoist monk in this world whose painting skills can fully obtain the true inheritance of the Fourth Confucian Patriarch? Nor can Luo Shuihan, who is in charge of Hunyuan Brushstrokes, do it?" Chi Yao said.
