My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1367 Nobility
Zhou Xing felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a magnificent palace. Everything around him showed the dignity and majesty of the royal family. He looked down at his gorgeous clothes, then at his face reflected in the bronze mirror, and suddenly realized that he had become the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The purpose of this expedition to the sea was to quell the rebellion at sea. Zhou Xing knew the importance of this battle and did not dare to slack off. However, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea, sucking his warship into it. The warship shook violently, and the soldiers shouted in fear. Zhou Xing tried to stabilize himself and tried to find a way to deal with it.

Just as the warship was about to be swallowed by the whirlpool, a blue figure broke through the waves. A mermaid girl held a halberd in her hand, her long hair flying in the ocean current, like an elf on the sea. She swung the halberd hard and cut off the tentacles that were entangled with the warship. Zhou Xing took a closer look and found that the tentacles were actually sea monsters refined by the old enemy of the Demon Sect.

The mermaid girl Ling Xue appeared in front of Zhou Xing, her eyes were clear and firm. Zhou Xing noticed that there was a familiar golden light in her pupils, which was the unique mark of the genius of the Demon Sect. In order to save Zhou Xing, Ling Xue cut off her heart scales to detoxify him. When her fingertips touched Zhou Xing's palm, the clan emblems of the Haoqing Sect appeared on both of them at the same time. At this moment, they realized that they were actually fellow disciples who had survived the tribulation.

After Zhou Xing and Ling Xue returned to the capital, they were impeached by the Imperial Observatory. The Imperial Observatory accused Ling Xue of being a demon who would bring disaster to the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Xing was very angry, but he also knew that the matter needed to be handled with caution.

At a banquet, Ling Xue showed her true form of the mermaid tail in front of the Golden Palace on a full moon night in order to prove her sincerity. The moonlight shone on her body, and her scales shone with silver light, like a beautiful painting. However, this action attracted the attention of the dragon envoy.

The Dragon Clan envoys demanded that the Great Zhou Dynasty hand over Ling Xue on the grounds of "offending the Dragon Palace". Zhou Xing naturally would not agree, and he decided to face this crisis with Ling Xue. At this time, the Sea-Suppressing Stele possessed by the residual soul of the Demon Sect suddenly rioted. The Sea-Suppressing Stele was the key to the Great Zhou Dynasty's suppression of the sea area. Now that it was controlled by the residual soul of the Demon Sect, the consequences were disastrous.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue teamed up to fight against the Zhenhai Stele. Ling Xue used the Mermaid Weeping Technique to freeze the surrounding seawater, creating an opportunity for Zhou Xing to attack. Zhou Xing used the Prince Seal to mobilize the Nine Dragons' spiritual energy and attacked the Zhenhai Stele. With their efforts, the remaining soul of the Demon Sect on the Zhenhai Stele was temporarily suppressed.

Afterwards, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue dived into the secret realm under the sea to find a way to solve the problem of the Zhenhai Monument. In the secret realm, they found an ancient monument that recorded the truth of the war between the mermaids and dragons ten thousand years ago. It turned out that all this was a trap set by the Demon Sect. They wanted to sow discord between the mermaids and dragons in order to achieve their own goals.

In order to completely solve the problem of the Sea-Suppressing Monument, Zhou Xing decided to break into the Dragon Palace to borrow the Sea-Suppressing Needle. Ling Xue knew it was a dangerous mission, but she still decided to accompany Zhou Xing.

When they arrived at the Dragon Palace, they were immediately blocked by the dragons. In order to protect Zhou Xing, Ling Xue cut off three pieces of her reverse scales as a pass. The reverse scales of a mermaid contain thousands of years of cultivation, and each piece is extremely precious. Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's painful expression and felt full of guilt.

In the process of borrowing the Dinghai Needle, they encountered many difficulties. But Zhou Xing and Ling Xue relied on their mutual trust and tacit understanding to overcome dangers again and again. However, just when they were about to successfully obtain the Dinghai Needle, the remnant spirit of the Demon Sect suddenly launched an attack.

In order to protect Zhou Xing, Ling Xue was pierced through the chest by the residual soul of the Demon Sect. Her blood dyed the surrounding sea water red. Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue's gradually weakening body and was heartbroken. At this critical moment, Zhou Xing burned his royal blood to activate the forbidden technique of the Haoqing Sect "Yin Yang Tribulation". This is a powerful spell, but it requires a huge price to use it.

Zhou Xing reversed the formation of the Demon Sect's residual soul and transferred the damage to himself. His body became weak, but seeing Ling Xue had a glimmer of life, he felt that everything was worth it. The two shared life and were both seriously injured. Ling Xue used her last strength to push Zhou Xing out of the secret realm.

After Zhou Xing returned to land, he found that the scales left by Ling Xue had turned into a blood-red lotus in his palm. This lotus seemed to be a symbol of their love, and it still bloomed even in difficult circumstances.

After Zhou Xing returned to the capital, he was immediately impeached by various forces. They accused Zhou Xing of acting on his own and causing the defeat of the war. The emperor believed these remarks and placed Zhou Xing under house arrest in the palace.

After Ling Xue learned the news, she was very worried about Zhou Xing's safety. She ignored her own injuries and forced herself to go ashore to see Zhou Xing. However, her body could not bear being away from the sea for a long time. The moment she saw Zhou Xing, she coughed up blood with ice chips.

Zhou Xing felt very distressed when he saw Ling Xue's appearance. He decided to save Ling Xue at all costs. So, he took Ling Xue hostage and fled to the Dengtiantai left by the Demon Sect. On the Dengtiantai, they discovered an astonishing secret. It turned out that the so-called 9,999 tribulations were actually the elders of the sect using all things as a chess game, and wanted to achieve their own goals through their tribulations.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue decided to resist all this. Ling Xue used the blood of the Mermaid King to summon a deep-sea monster to hit the barrier. Zhou Xing used a broken sword to carve a spell against the heavens, trying to break the dilemma. With their efforts, cracks appeared in the barrier.

However, just when they were about to succeed, the heavens sent down a punishment of thunder and fire. Thunder and fire rained down, igniting everything around them. In order to protect Zhou Xing, Ling Xue turned into bubbles and wrapped him. Zhou Xing bit his tongue and drew a bloody talisman to resist the attack of thunder and fire. The twin lotus blossomed with three colors of brilliance in the thunder and fire, as if telling of their unyielding love.

After a fierce battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue finally broke the impasse. But they also knew that this was far from over. In order to completely get rid of the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, they decided to go to Guixu together.

Guixu is a mysterious place, said to be the end of all things. On the way to Guixu, they encountered various dangers and challenges. But they always held each other tightly and supported each other.

Finally, they arrived at the edge of Guixu. Looking at the deep darkness before them, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue did not hesitate at all. Holding hands, they jumped into Guixu. At the moment of jumping in, Zhou Xing's crown and Ling Xue's shark silk headband were entangled into a heart knot.

When they entered Guixu, they found that the remnant soul of the first generation leader of the Demon Sect was hidden here. The remnant soul told them that the so-called ascension to the upper realm was just a lie made up by the elders of the sect for their own interests. The real test is to break these false rules and pursue freedom and true love.

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue suddenly realized. They decided to fight against all this with their own strength. In Guixu, they went through hardships and finally found a way to break through. Zhou Xing broke the Haoqing Sect Master's command arrow into two halves and gave them to Ling Xue and himself respectively. This symbolized their break with the false rules of the sect.

Ling Xue's tears condensed into a new sect token. This tear contained their reflection on the past and their hope for the future. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they would go hand in hand.

A hundred years later, in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it was recorded that "the prince and the mermaid ascended to heaven". People built a twin temple on the seashore to worship the statues of the prince and the mermaid. Whenever fishermen encountered wind and waves at sea, they could always see two phantoms standing on the bow to protect them from returning safely. In another world, in the newly born Haoqing Sect, two teenagers were arguing about a vague dream in front of the forbidden stone tablet of the sect. They didn't know that the scene in the dream was exactly what they had experienced in their previous lives.

In a teahouse in a small world, the storyteller clapped the wake-up stick and said, "Let's talk about that immortal couple. They are obviously fools who have gone through countless calamities but still rush to drink Meng Po's soup." The audience in the audience was fascinated by the story, but they didn't know that there was deep love and courage hidden behind this story.

The story of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue has become a legend. They have experienced disasters in different worlds and always stick to their love for each other. They have proved with their actions that true love can overcome all obstacles. Even in the face of the rules of heaven, they can bravely break the shackles and pursue their own happiness. And the 9,999 disasters have also become a witness to their love in this process, making their love even more indestructible.

Zhou Xing felt dizzy, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a strange world. He was in the body of a scholar who was coughing up blood, and was lying on a shabby wooden bed. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and outside the window was windy and rainy, as if the whole world was lamenting his illness.

Zhou Xing tried hard to recall that the Demon Sect Haoqing Sect had to go through 9,999 tribulations to ascend to the upper realm, and each tribulation was in a different small world. At this moment, he was in one of these tribulations. At this time, a strange memory flooded into his mind. The original owner was a weak scholar who had been weak and sick since childhood and would not live long.

Just as Zhou Xing was getting used to it, the door creaked open. A young girl walked in lightly, carrying a medicine jar. She had a slender figure, gentle eyes, and a pearl in her hair, which swayed gently with her movements.

The girl put the medicine on the table and said softly, "Sir, drink it while it's hot." Zhou Xing looked at the girl in front of him and felt an inexplicable affection for her. The girl called herself Ah Xue and came to repay her gratitude.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Xing couldn't fall asleep because of coughing, so he got up and wanted to drink some water. He gently pushed open the door and walked into the yard. Under the moonlight, he saw Axue kneeling by the cold pond, her body trembling slightly. Zhou Xing was curious, so he quietly approached. He saw Axue reaching out to take out her heart scales from the cold pond, and then put them into the pot to boil.

Zhou Xing was shocked, and realized that Axue was not an ordinary woman. He remembered the record about the clam spirit in the secret book of the Demon Sect, that it needs to cut out the heart scales to transform, and Axue's behavior in front of him was very consistent with the description in the record. Zhou Xing's heart moved, and he deliberately coughed up blood and fainted, wanting to test Axue.

Ah Xue heard the noise and turned around in a hurry. She hurriedly wrapped Zhou Xing with her silk, and at this moment, her demon pill accidentally touched Zhou Xing. In an instant, the stone carving of the "Twin Tribulations" in the forbidden land of the Demon Sect appeared in their minds at the same time. The patterns and words on the stone carving seemed to carry a mysterious power that shocked their hearts.

After that, Ah Xue would use the mirage to extend Zhou Xing's life every day. She gathered her spiritual power and created beautiful paintings in front of Zhou Xing. However, every time she cast the mirage, she would spit out blood, but she lied that it was a cold.

Zhou Xing saw it all and felt pain in his heart. He decided to secretly look for a way out. One day, he found a copy of "East Sea Strange Stories" in a corner of a used bookstall. He flipped through the book and found that the clam spirit's method of overcoming the tribulation recorded in it was consistent with Axue's behavior.

In order to verify his idea, Zhou Xing pretended that his condition worsened. Seeing this, Ah Xue was extremely anxious. In a hurry, she revealed her true form. The huge clam shell emitted a soft light, and inside the shell was an undigested fragment of the Demon Sect's token. Zhou Xing recognized it at a glance. It was their respective tokens before they ascended.

The two were shocked to find that this small world was actually the place where the sect had conducted trials. Just as they were shocked, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds and thunderbolts struck down. It turned out that the way of heaven had sent down the love poison backlash.

Ah Xue knew that only if she could bear the nine-fold thunder tribulation could she protect Zhou Xing. She resolutely stood in front of Zhou Xing and attracted the thunder tribulation to herself. The clam shell gradually shattered under the bombardment of the thunder tribulation, and Zhou Xing's heart was also tightened.

Before the clam shell completely shattered, Axue used up the last bit of her spiritual power to push Zhou Xing out of the range of the thunder tribulation. Zhou Xing watched Axue disappear in the thunder tribulation, and his heart was filled with grief.

Zhou Xing searched everywhere for Axue's trace in grief. Finally, he found the thousand-year-old clam tomb at the bottom of the cold pond. There, he found Axue's translucent residual soul.

Zhou Xing used his own blood to feed Axue's residual soul, hoping to wake her up. As time went by, Axue's residual soul gradually regained consciousness. The two began to recall their past lives. It turned out that they had been buried here for seven reincarnations. Every time they reincarnated, they could not escape the fate of being separated by Yin and Yang.

In order to completely solve the mystery, Zhou Xing ignited the Devil Sect's Rebirth Array with soul fire. The light in the array flickered, and the fragments of their encounters and killings in nine lives emerged. In each life, they loved each other deeply, but eventually separated for various reasons.

The last scene is when Ling Xue destroyed her own demon pill to change Zhou Xing's fate. At that moment, Zhou Xing finally understood everything that Ah Xue had done for him. He held Ah Xue's hand tightly and vowed to be with her no matter what in this life.

At this moment, the horoscope they had when they first entered the sect emerged from the cold pond. The light on the horoscope illuminated everything around them, indicating that this calamity required using emotions to break the law.

In order to save Axue, Zhou Xing decided to fuse his heart with Axue's demon pill. This was an extremely dangerous move, but he could no longer care about that. During the fusion process, Axue's clam shell was reborn, and the fate wheel diagram of their nine lives of entanglement emerged from the shell.

However, their actions attracted the attention of the elders of the Demon Sect. The elders believed that they were against the way of heaven and sent disciples to kill them. Zhou Xing and Axue joined hands to fight against the disciples of the sect. Axue sacrificed her life-saving magic weapon "Canghai Mirror". The mirror reflected the evidence of the sect elders' massacre of the clam tribe in order to ascend to heaven.

It turned out that all this was a disaster set up by the elders to cover up their crimes. Zhou Xing and A Xue were filled with anger and decided to resist to the end.

The two used the mirage illusion to recreate the truth of that year, which caused a resonance between heaven and earth.
