Relatively speaking, this ghost emperor is already very humane. At least he understands in his heart that seizing the soul sacrificial swords of forty-nine people is indeed an outrageous thing.
It is not difficult to tell from what he just said that he feels guilty.
It's just that some things must be done even if they go against conscience and involve sin. He hopes to make up for it through another way.
If he was really inhumane, he would not have shown mercy to the white-haired old man who broke in twice, and he could have killed them all.
Of course, Xiao Chen reserved his opinions on other people's affairs and neither supported nor criticized them from the highest moral point.
Because he doesn't understand what others have gone through, it is difficult for him to understand their feelings.
"Since you want to rest, I won't disturb you!" Xiao Chen said calmly, "But I want to ascend to the immortal world here, and I may make some noise, so please bear with it!"
The Ghost Emperor was silent for a moment, and suddenly said solemnly: "Thank you!"
Xiao Chen was startled when he heard this, and said inexplicably: "What are you thanking for?"
"Although you only have the cultivation level of True Immortal Realm on the surface, I can feel that you are extraordinary. If you fight with me, the outcome is unknown. And even if I win in the end, I will have to pay a heavy price, and maybe I have to improve myself."
Ten thousand years!" The Ghost Clan Emperor said slowly.
Pretending to be inscrutable and dismissive of Xiao Chen before was just a disguise.
In fact, he has not fully recovered yet, and Xiao Chen is not an opponent that can be easily dealt with. He absolutely does not want to conflict with Xiao Chen.
"When I recover, if you need anything, I can help you with something!" the ghost emperor promised.
"This is an unexpected gain!" Xiao Chen said with a noncommittal smile, "Besides, maybe when you come out of seclusion, you will suddenly find that this world is no longer the world you knew at first!"
Although Xiao Chen didn't think there was any need to seek help from the Ghost Emperor, there was no need to reject the favor in a hurry.
"Okay, I'm leaving. You can repair the seal I just broke!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen stopped staying. After sensing the aura and direction of the fairy world, he tore apart the space with his bare hands and disappeared.
It is not difficult to go to the fairyland from the lower realm. Under normal circumstances, it can be done as long as you reach the true fairyland, so it is very easy for Xiao Chen.
"It seems that in my absence, countless talents have been born in the world. But when I come to the throne, I will still be the only one in the world!"
With a tyrannical word, the ghostly energy dispersed instantly, and the damage caused by Xiao Chen was quickly repaired. The space was completely closed again, sinking into darkness.
…
Fairyland, Jiangchu Fairyland.
The Chu family was once the largest family in the Jiangchu Immortal Territory. It is said that the word "Chu" in the Jiangchu Immortal Territory was named after the Chu family.
Of course, it is just a rumor, and it cannot be ruled out that the ancestors of the Chu family deliberately created the news.
But there is no doubt that the Chu family is famous in the Jiangchu Immortal Domain, and almost everyone knows about it.
Not for anything else, just because the Chu family once gave birth to an immortal emperor who was astonishing to the immortal world.
The Immortal Emperor is a peerless figure at the top of the Immortal Realm. He can rule a region of Immortal Realm and is respected by both humans and gods.
Under the protection of the Immortal Emperor, one can imagine the prosperity of the Chu family.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Immortal Emperor of the Chu family was involved in a power dispute and was besieged and fell.
The Chu family was implicated, and several elders whose cultivation was second only to the Immortal Emperor were either killed or deprived of their cultivation, and they plummeted ever since.
Today's Chu family is no longer as elegant as it used to be, and can only be described by two words: abjection.
Today is an important day for the Chu family.
On this day every three years, the elders of the Chu family will select a few talents with qualifications and potential among the younger generation for intensive training.
After all, there is a way to live in despair, and the new generation of the Chu family is still full of hope. It does not seek to restore its former glory, but at least it can give the Chu family a foothold.
For this day, the younger generation of the Chu family is also competing fiercely. Everyone works hard and hopes to get the attention of their elders.
After many rounds of screening, two boys and one girl stood out, both of whom were only about twelve or thirteen years old.
"Congratulations to Chu Nan, Chu Feng and Chu Tingting won. Next, as usual, the ancestor worship ceremony will be performed first!"
After the eldest elder of the Chu family made the announcement, he led everyone to the ancestral land of the Chu family.
However, the ancestral land cannot be entered, as it is closed by a stone gate.
"Chu Nan, Chu Feng, and Chu Tingting, the three of you kneel down in front of the ancestral land in turn, and then place your hands on the stone door!" The elder said while demonstrating the movements.
"Chun Nan, you are the first!" the great elder shouted.
The young man named Chu Nan looked a little nervous when he heard this, but he still mustered up the courage to step forward, kneel in front of the stone gate as the elder said, and then put his palm against the stone gate.
However, there was no response, nothing happened.
"Well, kowtow, and then step aside, Chu Feng is ready to take over!" the great elder said calmly.
Chu Nan didn't think too much. He just did whatever the elder asked him to do.
"Dad, why are you doing this?" Chu Tingting, the girl among the three, asked a middle-aged man next to her with a puzzled face, "Is there any point in doing this?"
The middle-aged man explained seriously: "The ancestral land is the tomb of our ancestors of the Chu family, and it is also the place where treasures are hidden. But only the orthodox blood of the Chu family can open this stone door. Since the incident with Beiming Demon Fairy, the Chu family
The orthodox bloodline has disappeared, we are all just branches of the Chu family, and the bloodline is not dense enough, so we cannot open the stone gate!"
"Since it can't be opened, why do we need to perform this ritual?" Chu Tingting asked again.
"It's a kind of expectation!" the middle-aged man said, "Although we are a branch of the Chu family, there is a chance that our descendants will have ancestral blood, but the probability is extremely low."
"Performing this ritual, even if the stone door cannot be opened, is still a sign of respect for the ancestors. Maybe the ancestors will appear and protect us in the dark!"
"Oh!" Chu Tingting nodded as if she understood.
Sure enough, Chu Feng's result was the same as Chu Nan's. It didn't cause any reaction from Shimen, it was just a formality.
"Kowtow and retreat, Chu Tingting, you come up!" the great elder shouted again.
"Tingting, just relax, don't have any psychological burden!" the middle-aged man warned.
"Well, I know!"
Chu Tingting nodded, walked to the stone door and knelt down with a pious expression, then stretched out her little hand and placed it on the stone door.
After a while, there was nothing strange about Shimen.
"Well, that's enough, kowtow and step back!" The great elder looked as usual, not disappointed at all.
Over the years, this ceremony has been regarded as a formality and a kind of expectation.
Shimen's lack of reaction is the most normal result.
Chu Tingting also didn't think too much. According to what the elder said, she respectfully kowtowed towards the stone gate.
But at this time, something unexpected happened.
rumble!
The stone door that had been closed for countless years slowly opened upwards.
Within the ancestral land of the Chu family, a young man in white stepped out, looked at the sky, and then at the stunned Chu family members around him, a trace of confusion flashed across his expression.
