Chapter 1596: Past Events of the Immortal Kingdom

Zhao Wenjun lowered his eyes and chuckled self-deprecatingly, saying, "I am more careful about my reputation than the Palace Master imagined. A fine horse can only jump ten steps at a time, but a carriage can travel ten miles. Success lies in perseverance. If you give up halfway, even rotten wood cannot be broken. If you keep on carving, even gold and stone can be engraved.

Because I know that I was forced to practice the magic skills by the situation, and I had no choice. Now I have cut off my emotions with the sword of wisdom, and everything is settled. How can I still seek troubles and associate with the devil? "

Wu Hongni placed her fingers on the tea table beside her, tapping the table with her fingertips from time to time, making crisp sounds.

Her eyes were dark and unclear, and there seemed to be undercurrents in those cold eyes.

Wu Hongni stared at her for a long time with deep eyes, then slowly said: "You are a genius. Although you are a woman, you are proficient in six arts and nine abilities. What's more rare is that you have a strong mind and the spirit of a monarch that most men in the world don't have. Even though you practice magic, your heart is always on the path of seeking the great way. In this respect, I am far inferior to you, so..."

She paused for a moment, her eyes fixed, and said, "I brought you with me not only to broaden your horizons and let you see how big the world is and how wide the roads are, but also to hand over the foundation of the Yao Geng Temple to you. Did you know that?"

There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and there has been a huge gap between them since ancient times. Although there are mortals who practice immortal cultivation, the immortals are proud of themselves and are different from mortals. Although very few of them have prejudices in their hearts, they will never express them out loud.

However, the talents of immortals and mortals are fundamentally different in their constitutions.

Unless one is exceptionally outstanding and has a destiny star personally pointed out by the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan, it is extremely difficult to make a name for oneself in the Shangqing Immortal Realm and have a place of one's own.

The immortals place even greater emphasis on bloodline inheritance, and it is even more impossible for a large clan to hand over its heritage to a mortal.

Princess Zhao Wenjun only thought that Wu Hongni was a sensible person who was different from the ordinary people, but she never thought that she could have such advanced ideas.

She calmed down a little, suppressed her thoughts, and said calmly: "I am accompanying the Palace Master, and my intention is not in Yao Geng Palace."

Wu Hongni said: "I know that you are not interested in Yao Geng Palace. You have the ambition to conquer thousands of miles away, to carry the Dao with civil and military means, and to protect the great Dao of the world. I know your ideals even better. You want to open up the way to a better world, to establish peace with your sword, and to hold your head high without regrets. Although Yao Geng Palace has been established for eternity, it cannot trouble your heart.

But it is precisely because you have such aspirations that you have caught my eye and are eligible to take charge of the temple."

Princess Zhao Wenjun's lips moved slightly, as if her heart was touched. She bowed her head deeply, "Palace Master, you are too kind to me. I don't deserve it... Although the world is vast, I have no way to go."

Wu Hongni shook her head, her eyes bright, "Although human hearts are small, they care about the world. You and I are different after all. Tonight, you chose to draw your sword and didn't want me to participate too much in the Kunlun war. Aren't you killing the selfish desires in my heart?"

She once thought that she could help the world, think of the people and forget herself, and protect the world without caring about herself.

However, once the deepest obsession in one's heart becomes known, controlled and possessed by others.

She will still be enslaved by pain and obsession.

The rumors about Wu Hongni were not false. She was a descendant of the immortals of Mount Taigeng. She had immortal blood flowing in her body and was also the descendant of Emperor Jun.

She is a descendant of Mount Taigeng. In an era so long ago that she herself had almost forgotten it, she worshipped Hou Yao, the prince of the fairyland who was a descendant of Emperor Jun.

In the ancient times, demons were rampant and ate humans.

Hou Yao, the prince of the Immortal Kingdom and the son of Emperor Jun, was the son of a god and a human. He was very famous in the immortal world. He and the old god were both outstanding immortal heroes of the time, so he was granted the immortal mountain Taigeng, which was located at the boundary between heaven and earth, immortals and mortals.

She is a fairy in the mountains, just like the demon fairies in Kunlun Mountain in this world. She has a home to live in, relatives to rely on, tea and meals, needle and thread, and she practices Taoism like fairies, and has three meals a day and seven emotions and six desires like mortals.

A disaster struck in the back mountain, and the Six Paths of Heavenly Tribulation Furnace was accidentally overturned by the war, so that in the ancient times, countless demons, humans and immortals in the chaos of heaven and earth were burned to death in the raging fire.

As the prince of the fairy kingdom, Hou Yao should have shouldered the responsibility of protecting his people and extinguishing the calamity fire. However, in that year, he abandoned his people, burned down the mountain kingdom, and the fairy mountain Taigeng connecting heaven and earth became the center of the furnace, causing a world-destroying fire.

As a result, all the immortals, demons, and all living things that were fighting against the human world died in that fire.

Later, Prince Yao abandoned his people and left his sick and weak younger sister in the raging fire of the furnace. They have been missing since then. However, in order to redeem the prince's sins, the entire Taigeng immortal clan was ordered to take the Moon-Eating Fruit, which turned into a sea of ​​dark ice and finally put out the fire. The mountain was cut in half, and the sky and the earth were separated, with the upper part clear and the lower part turbid.

The Taigeng immortal lineage has since disappeared in the long river of history, burdened with sins.

As the only survivor that year, Wu Hongni witnessed the raging fire burning all immortals and demons, and his loved ones transforming into the underworld and throwing themselves into the mountains and rivers. The scenes are like a nightmare, and each one is clearly engraved in his mind.

Even though her memory of the Crown Prince back then was already so distant and vague.

But when my closest comrades took the Moon-Eating Fruit that could devour their souls and transform their hearts, their shrill cries, which changed them beyond recognition, still linger in my ears every night.

As a descendant of the clan, she picked up all the bones in the River Styx. As the four seasons passed, spring came and autumn went, and the stars moved, she became the master of the Yao Geng Temple.

But she is still trapped in the past. Even if her soul is destroyed, she still has that obsession in her heart, which is to meet the Crown Prince who once abandoned her entire clan in the rest of her life.

Ask about right and wrong, and seek the clear truth.

Everyone in the world said that Emperor Yao had fallen into the evil path and had been punished by heaven.

Until recently, the rebel leader, Master Qingao, told her a very old secret through a secret letter.

The obsession is so deep that she doesn't care about the safety of Kunlun.

She just wanted to meet Sikong, who was once a member of the royal family but had been stripped of his "name".

That is the current corpse demon Sikong.

But just last night, the sword full of dark blood power cut her arm, and the pain pierced her soul, but it also made her gradually calm down. However, she only learned the truth about Sikong's previous life from the rebel leader Qingao.

She didn't know why the human princess Zhao Wenjun was wearing the Dark Blood Sword. She was clearly a human, but she was able to use the methods of the corpse demon clan.

And judging from his appearance, he seemed to already know Sikong's life experience.

"Whether it is selfish desire or righteousness, all thoughts are for oneself and come from one's heart."

Zhao Wenjun knelt on the ground, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not stand up for a long time. He said calmly: "I only know that if Kunlun Realm collapses and the thirty-six heavenly palaces are destroyed, how can the human world be safe? Although I have the great Dao in my heart as the Palace Master said, my ability is limited. I can only protect the old land of my homeland in the human world. Even if I use any means and it goes against the way of a gentleman, I have to do it."

She slowly raised her head, kneeling straight, like a gun that shattered an old dream, her eyes burning, "I want to care about the people, but I am definitely not a saint."

Wu Hongni nodded slightly and said, "So you went to Kunlun Mountain for selfish reasons?"

Zhao Wenjun glanced at the broken arm that was burned to ashes on the table, sighed inwardly, and was unwilling to hide anything, so he said bluntly: "I was forced to accept the seal by Si Chen of the Corpse Demon King Clan. I am a human being and I have accepted the Corpse Demon Seal. To be honest, I practiced the magic skills of the demon clan and was in danger of hell, but it was all my own fault. But I hate being restricted by others. How can I be willing to wear a collar and be controlled by others if I have lofty ambitions? Since I have decided to go far in the Tao and rise to the top, I will not allow any obstacles in the way or any burdens in the way back."

Wu Hongni looked at the two scarlet marks gradually appearing on her neck and was shocked. She obviously had not expected that such a ridiculous thing could happen in this world.

But at the same time, she also understood why Sikong came to her and gave her the Dark Blood Sword.

There is a certain blood connection between the corpse demon clan and the royal clan.

And through this blood connection, Zhao Wenjun might be able to grasp some mysteries about Sikong's past life.

With her intelligence, it was not difficult for her to deduce his true identity.

"So you came up the mountain to kill that boy?"

Zhao Wenjun laughed at himself: "What's funny is that I am a relative of Si Chen, and it would be disrespectful to have the slightest intention to kill him."

Something that is completely impossible to do.

But even so, she still didn't give up wanting to kill him.

"Foolish boy." Wu Hongni sighed and said, "This boy overestimated his own abilities and recklessly killed Cheng Huang. Now he is tasting the bitter fruit for himself and attracting a heavenly calamity. I think it won't be long before you can regain your freedom."

Zhao Wenjun touched the mark on his neck, his face showing no emotion, and said calmly, "This is natural."

That little guy dared to do such a thing to him. Both father and son were hateful and abominable. How could she tolerate him!

In exchange for information about Sikong, Qingao asked her to cooperate with the True Immortal Sect to completely defeat Kunlun Mountain.

Wu Hongni knew that he was bewildered by his obsession, and for a moment he was bewildered and almost fell into death.

This sword completely cut off her thoughts.

However, in a sense, Qingao's method was really clever. No matter what the result was, Zhao Wenjun could not persuade her.

Now she is seriously injured and can no longer provide effective war assistance to Kunlun Mountain.

This old thief's thoughts are so deep that it's really scary.

And she was not the only one who got into trouble. Whether it was Taoist Master Lian Yue or True Man Fan Shu, they were probably all injured by the conspiracy of their closest relatives.

In this case, how many of his people are hiding in this small Yunyin Peak?

……

……

On the Yunyin Peak, in this way, the rescue efforts of friendly forces from Kunlun Mountain were cut off.

The death of Taoist Master Lian Yue planted the seeds of doubt in the hearts of most people.

Although the True Immortal Sect's attack on Kunlun Mountain was not as powerful as its attack on the Water God Kingdom, it also caused the Kunlun army to gradually show signs of defeat.

It was not until two months later that the True Immortal Sect army successfully captured Tanqueling.

A hundred miles away from the back mountain of Tanqueling is the Kunlun Holy Land, one of the Ten Forbidden Areas.

The evil spirit of the underworld fell into the abyss of heaven. The cold and clear wind of Kunlun Mountain all year round was now filled with a strong smell of blood like wine. I didn’t know whether it was the red mountain that dyed the sky, or the blood-red stars that reflected the red of the mountain, in the background full of heroism.

Qing Ao was wearing his old gray Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, his temples were gray, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life.

He looked calmly at the vast barrier guarding the Ten Forbidden Holy Land. The corners of his lips twitched, his beard trembled slightly, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

“If this is the end of my holy land, will the legend of the immortal and incorruptible saint end today?”
