Since he has taken on the heavy responsibility of protecting Ning Yuke, Qingxian must of course live in the palace.
Although the residence is not big, it is elegant and unique enough. However, there are no maids or eunuchs coming in or out, so it seems a bit deserted.
"Senior Qingxian, what are your orders?"
Walking slowly in the courtyard, Wei Changtian turned his head and smiled: "But I want to ask about the upcoming war?"
"fighting?"
Qingxian shook his head: "I don't understand this. Anyway, you are confident that you will win. Then you only need to tell me what the demon clan is going to do."
Huh? That’s not what you’re asking?
Wei Changtian was stunned and a little puzzled: "Then what else do you want to tell me, senior?"
"..."
The white skirt swayed in the wind, but Qingxian didn't answer immediately.
She walked lightly into a pavilion, sat down with Wei Changtian, and then slowly said:
"Master Wei, I want Ning Nuwa to be the next Demon King."
"..."
The sound of the sounds of nature is not as loud as the cries of birds on the branches.
But just such a fluttering sentence made Wei Changtian stunned.
He stared at Qingxian with disbelief on his face and didn't react for a long time.
No, what's going on?
Did you hear wrongly?
Ning Yuke? Become the Demon King?
Today is April Fool’s Day in another world???
"Senior Qingxian, you just said..."
"You heard me right, I do intend to cultivate Ning Nuwa to take over my throne."
Qingxian raised his eyes and looked over with a calm expression: "I would like to ask the young master if he is willing?"
"..."
"This is not a question of whether I am willing or not..."
Wei Changtian's mouth opened wide: "Why did senior fall in love with her? Besides, Yuke is not a demon, how can she be the demon king?"
"Master Wei, who said that a demon must be the demon king?"
Qingxian looked at the small pond outside the pavilion and uttered a rhetorical question that was as obviously contrary to common sense as "Who stipulates that the chairman of the Women's Federation must be a woman?"
Then she paused for a moment and slowly explained the reason to Wei Changtian who looked stunned.
...
According to what Yangliu Shi said when he went to Shiwanda Mountain for the first time, Qingxian was transformed from the blue bird bred by heaven and earth.
Wei Changtian didn't quite believe this.
Bred by heaven and earth? No father or mother?
If we were in a world of high martial arts where gods and goddesses were flying all over the sky, such a fantasy would be very possible.
But in the current world of low-level martial arts, where even the shackles of the first rank cannot be broken, this kind of "nurtured by heaven and earth" rhetoric is unreliable.
However, Wei Changtian did not delve into this matter before, after all, it had little to do with him.
But now the truth told by Qingxian himself proved that his guess was actually correct.
That's right, the previous demon kings were not "bred by heaven and earth" at all, but just like human sects, the previous demon king selected his successor and then inherited it from generation to generation.
Moreover, the demon kings are not demons.
They are a kind of "magical species" that is neither demon nor human. Once "born", they are a "magical species" with second-level strength.
The species Qing Xian Guan is called "Tian Ling", which means the spirit of heaven and earth, and is an existence that escapes from the earthly world.
Wei Changtian didn't know whether there was any "boasting" element in this, but judging from everything about Qingxian, this statement did have a certain degree of credibility.
After all, Yangliu Shi once said that the latter can change into any shape.
Wei Changtian has never seen any "creature" with this ability. Only Qingxian can change his appearance at will as an "entity".
Yama can, but it is a virtual body.
Illusion is possible, but it is fake.
In addition, Qingxian's fairy-like appearance can be regarded as another supporting evidence.
Wei Changtian has always felt that no matter how advanced the "plastic surgery technology" is, the most beautiful women are absolutely natural.
Because as long as it is "integrated", it must have a "reference object", so it will never reach the latter level.
As for Qingxian's appearance...it can only be said that it is indeed difficult for a woman in the secular world to grow up to look so innocent.
In this case, there are only two possibilities.
Either Qingxian had seen a real fairy and then transformed into someone like her.
Or maybe Qingxian was born to be so refined.
The latter is undoubtedly more reliable, so the existence of "celestial spirits" is not impossible.
So, how was "Tian Ling" born?
According to Qingxian, this process is a bit mysterious...
The Demon King chooses any intelligent creature and then teaches it a secret technique.
After the latter masters the secret technique, his physical body will slowly begin to undergo a series of changes.
Regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, all racial characteristics will be erased bit by bit, and the transformation process will take anywhere from several years to decades, depending on the situation.
Anyway, once the transformation is completed, whether "he", "she" or "it" will become "he" who is neither a demon nor a human being, and become a celestial spirit body.
There can only be at most one living "celestial spirit" in the world. When a new one is born, the old one will die.
This means that the old demon king will die when the heir "has achieved great success", and the latter will naturally take over the demon king's position and become the new king to lead the demon clan.
At this point, the inheritance of the Demon King is completed.
...
The breeze blew over the surface of the pond, and the water droplets rolled over the lotus leaves, creating ripples of light.
What Qing Xian said was not careless, and Wei Changtian was not surprised when he heard it.
It's not that he can't understand "Heavenly Spirit" and this mysterious and mysterious way of inheritance.
After all, the "modern science" that was once regarded as the norm has long been subverted and fragmented by the rules of this world, so Wei Changtian can accept no matter how "outrageous" things are.
But the question is...why did Qingxian do this? Why did she choose Ning Yuke?
"Ahem, Senior Qingxian, I still have some things I don't understand."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "I wonder if you would be willing to answer a question for me?"
"Ask." Qingxian nodded.
"Well......"
Wei Changtian organized his words and immediately asked the first question.
"Senior, since Tianling is not a demon, why can he be the king of the demon clan?"
"Didn't the demon clan have any doubts? Didn't there ever be any big demons who wanted to snatch the position of the demon king?"
"..."
"Because the demon tribe believes that the heavenly spirits are demons."
Qingxian paused for a moment and gave a simple answer: "At least compared to humans, we are more like monsters, aren't we?"
"As for the latter thing...of course it happened, but they all failed."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian did not ask why those great demons who attempted to usurp the throne failed, but nodded and asked another key question.
"Also, senior, you just said that there is room for only one heavenly spirit in this world."
"If I understand correctly, this means that once Yuke succeeds, you will die."
"Then why are you still doing this?"
"hehe......"
Qingxian probably expected that Wei Changtian would ask this, so he just smiled lightly at the moment.
She looked at the yellowed leaves of the water lilies in the pond, and after a while she suddenly asked silently.
"Mr. Wei, do you know what it feels like to live too long?"
