326, Heart Demon Tribulation, Meet the Enlightened Emperor Xu Zhang
"Junior Brother Lan's accumulation is a bit too much. I'm afraid he is already ready to break through to the realm of Yuanshen..."
The great elder of Baiyun Sect looked at the head of Baiyun Sect, lowered his voice and said.
"Don't say too much."
"Our Baiyun Sect has no tradition of inquiring into the secrets of fellow monks. Just protect Junior Brother Lan!"
Hearing this, the head of the Baiyun Sect secretly praised the great elder for his cleverness, and then she pretended to scold the great elder.
…
…
happenings in the outside world.
Xu Xing didn't pay much attention. His thoughts at the moment were all focused on dealing with the catastrophe of the soul.
"Unexpectedly, my first spiritual catastrophe was not a thunder from the sky, but...a catastrophe from the inner demon!"
Xu Xing frowned deeply, sensing the changes in his soul, his expression was worried but also joyful.
There are four catastrophes for the soul, namely the three minor catastrophes of thunder, wind, yin and fire, and an inner demon catastrophe.
The inner demon calamity is the most feared by monks, because this calamity may be caused by the sudden invasion of inner demons when the monks are going through the three minor calamities, and there is no sense of martial ethics at all.
But this does not mean that it is good if the inner demon tribulation appears before the three minor disasters.
The three minor disasters are both calamities and good fortune.
After the three disasters are over, the monk's energy and spirit will experience a great improvement, which will be of great help in overcoming the inner demon tribulation.
Therefore, it would be best if the inner demon tribulation appears after the three minor calamities.
However, Xu Xing's luck was not bad. The inner demon tribulation appeared early, which was better than the unlucky guy who had the inner demon tribulation appear when he was trying to overcome the minor three disasters.
"I wonder what my inner demon tribulation is?"
Xu Xingyin had expectations.
After attaining the state of great freedom, he was more than 90% sure of overcoming the inner demon tribulation.
Half an hour later.
When Xu Xing opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the cave of Baiyun Gate in Cangyun Continent, but a different scene.
Antique glazed tiles.
The maids and eunuchs walking in the corridor are dressed in the same clothes as those in Fengxi Kingdom.
At this time, an old man in a dragon robe with gray hair walked out of the room. His eyeballs were bloodshot and his breath was decayed.
"I wonder if Mr. Fan has searched the world and found any traces of immortality? Back then, after the founding of the country, my father became an immortal and left, leaving only me and my mother to guard the world..."
"Although most of the emperors of the Tian family have a cold-hearted nature, my father, the emperor, has ruthlessness in his bones, no matter when he was punishing the Tianwang Mansion or after establishing the country and proclaiming himself emperor."
"Everything about the deep love between swords and swords is all fake and extremely hypocritical!"
Xu Xing seemed to be able to feel the old emperor's thoughts and listened to his thoughts one by one.
"It's him..."
"Enlightened Emperor Xu Zhang..."
After hearing the end, Xu Xing knew who the old emperor in front of him was without having to guess.
The old emperor's appearance was similar to his, just like what he looked like when he was old, but he had no aura at all, and he looked like an old man in his sixties.
"Mr. Fan..."
"This time I went to the South China Sea to seek immortality, did I find the legendary immortal gate?"
At this moment, Xu Xing suddenly felt that his realm and magic power suddenly dropped, and he became a middle-aged Taoist priest, and the old emperor's hand was also clasped on his shoulder.
"Since ancient times, inner demons have been difficult to overcome. It's not that monks can't see through the illusion. Instead, they transform into gods and mortals first, and see through the inner demons with ordinary hearts..."
Xu Xing thought to himself.
"Mr. Fan, did you find the Immortal Gate this time when you went to the South China Sea?" The old emperor asked Xu Xing again impatiently, with a hint of haste in his words.
"Xianmen..."
"Of course there is."
Xu Xing pondered for a moment, planning to find another way and let Enlightened Emperor Xu Zhang take another path in this inner demon world.
"Really, I really saw the Immortal Gate. Queen Mother, there is hope for your resurrection."
"My child, I hope to become an immortal."
The old emperor was ecstatic, holding on to the handrail of the corridor, crying.
After many years of wishing, he finally saw a glimmer of hope. How could he not be happy?
"Have you ever brought an envoy from the Immortal Sect?"
he asked again.
Listen to this.
Xu Xing hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
The illusion of inner demons is like a dream of a monk. In the dream, the monk is the creator.
"Shui Hongyao, the envoy to guide the immortals, was ordered by Xu Xing, a direct disciple of Feiyu Immortal Palace, to guide the enlightened Emperor Xu Zhang on the path to immortality..."
When Xu Xing nodded, a Qingluan monster flew through the air. On the Luan's back was Shui Hongyao, Xu Xing's familiar messenger.
In the third year of Tiande's reign, it was Shui Hongyao who took him to the imperial palace of Fengxi Kingdom and led him to the path of immortality.
"Enlightened Emperor Xu Zhang, Xiaoyao Sect Fan Xia, both of you have the foundation and innate talents to join our Immortal Sect and become outer disciples..."
"I wonder if you two are willing."
Shui Hongyao is suspended in the air, with her hat drooping and a five-color skirt, and her skin jade-like, just like a mortal fairy, stunningly beautiful.
She glanced at Xu Xing and the two of them with bright eyes and spoke.
"Fan is willing."
Xu Xing bowed and replied.
"I..., no, Xu is also willing."
The old emperor Xu Zhang was old and frail and was too excited, so he was a little slow in replying.
"I will give you one month to arrange the affairs of Fengxi Kingdom, and then go to the Immortal Sect with me."
Shui Hongyao said again.
As she spoke, she shook her sleeves and found a green elixir in her hand.
"This is the rejuvenation pill that your father bought for you from the sect. Take it quickly and rejuvenate your youth, so that you can continue your immortal destiny."
The green elixir was consigned by magic power and delivered to the old emperor. The old emperor was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that his father was so loving to him.
The old emperor did not dare to hesitate and called the palace maid to bring him some tea. Taking the tea as a guide, he drank the Rejuvenation Pill.
Entrance to the Rejuvenating Pill.
In an instant.
The old man's white hair turned dark, his skin became smooth and shiny again, and it was no longer the chicken skin and gray hair of before.
A quarter of an hour later, the old emperor regained his youth and his appearance was fixed in middle age.
"Xu knew that his life was coming to an end, and he gave instructions to his cabinet ministers to prepare for his funeral. Now that he is seeking immortality, it is no different than dying..."
"Fairy, you don't have to wait for me for a month, just three days."
The old emperor bowed his hands and said.
He could sense that although the Rejuvenation Pill had changed his appearance and brought him back to middle age, he also understood that a pill could not add decades to his life out of thin air.
The rejuvenating pill is not a life-extending pill.
In the past, his mother, Queen Xiaozhang, told him these secrets because he was seeking immortality.
Therefore, he did not want to waste this month in the secular world.
"According to your."
Shui Hongyao said calmly.
The Qingluan monster gave a clear chirp, spread its wings and flew away again, leaving the palace.
After receiving the immortal envoys and leaving the palace, the old emperor Xu Zhang immediately held a court meeting, let all the officials, the prince, and the princes enter the palace, and announced that the prince would succeed to the throne and he would pursue the immortal way.
"Father, my son would rather not be the emperor. I would also like to follow my father, Mr. Fan, into the Immortal Sect to seek the Tao and be at ease in the world."
The prince knelt down and cried bitterly, hoping that the old emperor would take back his life.
He has been the prince for more than thirty years and has not enjoyed much wealth and wealth.
And his father, after swallowing a rejuvenation pill, rejuvenated his youth, how could he not envy him?
"Nonsense!"
"Jiangshan Sheji, how can you make such a joke! When I lay down my foundation in the Immortal Sect, I will take you away..."
The old emperor wanted to scold the prince for retreating, but then he thought of his own experience, softened his heart, and said:
"My dear father, I thank you for your understanding."
The prince burst into tears and smiled, with a smile on his face.
Then, all the princes and close ministers looked at Emperor Kaiming eagerly, hoping that Emperor Kaiming would lead them to immortality.
"The rest of the matter will be discussed after I return to the mortal world."
When the old emperor saw this scene, he suddenly felt dizzy, waved his hand, and announced his resignation.
"Children and grandchildren are infinitely valuable."
Seeing this, Xu Xing, who was standing by the side, shook his head and thought to himself.
The road is lonely.
If you are cultivating immortality with your family, you don’t know when and how long it will take for the monk to truly ascend.
Most of the endings are due to lack of resources and no hope of breaking through, so they have no choice but to die.
For the ancestors of aristocratic families in the world of immortality, most of the relatives they support are not their direct relatives, but other branches and collaterals.
"Mr. Fan, when we enter the immortal sect, you and I will support each other..."
Arriving at the harem, Xu Xing walked with the old emperor, who spoke.
"Your Majesty, with Taizu's help, the road to immortality should be smooth. It is Fan who needs your Majesty's support."
Xu Xing smiled slightly and said.
"Maybe so..."
The old emperor shook his head and said nothing more.
Walking to the imperial garden, all the concubines arrived, led by the prince's biological mother, who looked at the Kaiming Emperor expectantly.
"There are many worries in this world."
The old emperor waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
soon.
The three-day deadline is up.
The fairy envoy Shui Hongyao took the old emperor and Xu Xing to Luanbei and flew to the fairy gate.
On the way, she told the monks of Feiyu Immortal Palace two choices.
"Fan Xiunai has an evergreen body. When entering the sect, you can choose between these two immortal paths."
"And Xu Zhang, although you are mortal, your father Xu Xingxing is the direct disciple of Dao Lord Ju Sword, and many aristocratic families want to marry you, including my Shui family..."
Shui Hongyao said slowly.
"Hansu, aristocratic family..."
The old emperor murmured to himself.
"I already have three palaces, six courtyards, and twelve princes. This family...is willing to choose me?"
He was uneasy.
Mortal body has no hope of immortality. With the help of his father Huang Xu Xing, he may be able to cultivate to the immortal level, but higher realms are just extravagant hopes.
After all, his father Xu Xing also needed to practice, so it was impossible to give him too many resources for practice.
Only by choosing a lineage from a noble family might he have another way out.
"Taoist couples in the world of immortality are different from ordinary wives and concubines."
Shui Hongyao replied with a smile.
"this……"
The old emperor became a little excited.
Marrying a clan girl from the world of cultivating immortals will not only bring you beauty and blessings, but also provide you with resources for cultivating immortals. He is expected to enjoy such a beautiful thing once.
However.
After the excitement.
The old emperor also calmed down.
If he chooses the path of aristocratic family, doesn't it mean that he has to renounce everything in the world?
The road to becoming a wife may seem smooth, but in fact it has limitations.
"I wonder how Mr. Fan plans to choose?"
The old emperor looked hesitant and looked at Xu Xing, wanting to see Xu Xing's choice.
"Fan chose the path of being a Hansu disciple."
Xu Xing shook his head and continued to choose the path he took before.
He couldn't see through this inner demonic fantasy.
As if you were kindly helping him to finish his regrets?
"My Taoist heart is free and easy. Everything in the illusion is just an illusion and cannot shake my mind."
"On the contrary, through this, you can hone yourself."
Xu Xing's eyes were firm.
He wanted to see what was the secret of this inner demon calamity.
"Hansu disciple..."
When the old emperor heard this, his eyes suddenly became distracted.
He asked Xu Xing for his opinion because he thought that Xu Xing would make the same choice as him. In this case, he would have an excuse in his conscience.
"I choose the noble family."
The old emperor sighed and expressed his choice.
He has no intention of being stubborn on the road.
If you take the wrong path, your whole life will be ruined.
Not long after.
Xu Xing and the old emperor walked to the gate of Feiyu Immortal Palace. Xu Xing hid in the crowd and watched many aristocratic families arriving in droves to choose their son-in-law.
Finally, the old emperor was selected by the wealthy Hai family and became the son-in-law of the Hai family.
Xu Xing, on the other hand, continued to stay in the Shuiguang Villa outside the outer gate.
"But Fan Xia?"
Half a year later, Xu Xing broke through the Immortal Realm in his practice. A scholar in blue robe came to Haiguang Courtyard in a cloud, looked at Xu Xing and asked.
"It's Fan."
Xu Xing looked strange, looking at his other self in the inner demon world.
"Since you were born in Xiaoyao Sect and have an old relationship with Xu Zhang, Xu recommended you to go to Daoyafeng and become an inner disciple there."
The green-robed scholar spoke.
"Junior, thank you for your support."
Xu Xing bowed and saluted.
…
…
Time goes by, and the years fly by.
Xu Xing has been in the inner demon world for more than twenty years.
In the past twenty years, he saw the battle between the two human kings "Xu Xing" and "Song Dao", as well as the incident in Feiyu Immortal Palace.
After Tianqiu, "Xu Xing", the descendant of Han Su, was ostracized and left the sect far away.
The old emperor Xu Zhang was also implicated by his father, and his treatment in the Hai family gradually declined, and he was often scolded by the Hai family members.
"Drink a little."
The old emperor came to Daoyafeng where Xu Xing was located, found Xu Xing, and took out the table eucalyptus and half a bottle of spiritual wine from the storage bag.
He swung the spirit wine and grinned at Xu Xing.
This smile has no trace of the emperor's majesty or airs, and is completely like that of an old country farmer.
"I will obey the emperor's order."
Xu Xing nodded, took out some food from the storage bag, and placed it on the table.
"Back then, Emperor Chongming was still on the throne and I was still young. I felt that my father didn't like me very much and was indifferent to me..."
"In the palace, there are many gossiping maids and rebel generals who say that my son is not my father's son, but the son of my mother, a prostitute, and some wild man..."
"The reason why my father is looking for my mother is because my mother is pregnant, and I can be his heir apparent and consolidate his power."
"Later, when I grew up and discovered that I looked more and more like my father, I knew it was a rumor."
"However, maybe my father didn't know that at the time and thought I was a bastard..."
The old emperor ate wine and meat, talked, and shed tears as he talked.
Even though he is the emperor who has been in power for decades and is ruthless, the memories of his childhood are no longer easy to change and are the secret pain in his heart.
"I hate my father for treating me so coldly. He threw this huge imperial inheritance to me just to prevent his country from being destroyed, and for the sake of cultivation..."
The old emperor raised his neck and took a sip of spiritual wine.
A little bit of wine spilled on his clothes, making them wet.
"But until I set foot on the path to immortality..."
