Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 496: Answers

"Mr. Xie Xuan."

At Prince Bai's Mansion, Xiao Chong spoke up and greeted Xie Xuan.

"Meet the White King."

Xie Xuan looked at the young man in front of him and replied with a smile.

Xiao Chong, the second prince of Emperor Mingde, was murdered and blinded by poison when he was young. It was not until recently that he was rescued by a master and was able to see the light again.

He was gentle and polite to others, and had the demeanor of a gentleman. He was favored by many ministers in the court and had a great chance of inheriting the throne in the future.

"Is there anything important that the Confucian Sword Immortal has come here for?"

Xie Xuan was a teacher in the academy, so Xiao Chong naturally knew him. However, their relationship was not that good. If anything, they were just nodding acquaintances.

The situation in Apocalypse is changing rapidly now, and he doesn't think that the Confucian Sword Immortal, with whom he has a mediocre relationship on weekdays, is here to help him.

"It's something."

Xie Xuan did not deny it. A gentleman treats others with sincerity. He adheres to the gentleman's way and naturally would not talk about other things.

"Sir, please sit down."

Xiao Chong's eyes flickered slightly, and he invited Xie Xuan to sit down. Another follower served him fragrant tea. The room was filled with a light sandalwood scent, which made people feel very comfortable.

"This is the Maojian tea that I received a few days ago. I heard it is a treasure from Wushan. Sir, please try it."

Xiao Chong's words were very casual. He had neither the majesty of Emperor Mingde nor the oppressive feeling of Xiao Yu. It was as if he was entertaining a friend.

Xie Xuan spoke leisurely.

"I once read a passage in history about a great ruler. At that time, the world was divided among warring factions. Although he had great ambitions, he was defeated over and over again. Until one day, he invited a great hermit. In less than ten years, he went from living under someone else's roof to becoming the emperor of Guanzhong. He soared to the sky as if he had divine help."

At this point, Xie Xuan shook his head and smiled. Who can tell whether the concept of luck is true or false? Just like the establishment of the Beili Dynasty, who can guarantee that there is no luck involved?

"Later, the brother of this heroic lord was careless and lost his territory and was beheaded. The heroic lord mobilized all the troops in the country to avenge his brother, but was burned down for 300 miles. All the years of hard work were wasted. From then on, the dynasty that had dominated the region was severely damaged. Even though this great man had the ability to rule the world, in the end he was powerless to save the situation. The once prosperous dynasty could not escape destruction in the end."

"Some people later commented on this period of history, pointing out that although this great talent had the right master, he was not in the right time. He was unlucky at that time. There is no shortage of outstanding people in the world, but very few can become heroes. Only the times create heroes. In the face of the torrent of the times, human power will eventually be exhausted."

After hearing what Xie Xuan said, Xiao Chong's eyes became distant.

"Times make heroes."

Xie Xuan nodded.

"The concept of luck is very mysterious. A Taoist master once said that when luck comes, heaven and earth will work together, but when luck is gone, heroes cannot be free."

"Because of something that happened back then, the Angry Sword Immortal's realm was stopped at the Half-Step Divine Wandering, and he has never had a glimpse of the mystery of Divine Wandering. Previously, when I was in the Southern Battle Field, I was lucky enough to get help from Zhao Shouyi of Qingcheng, and broke through the Sword Immortal realm and reached the Divine Wandering Profound Realm. After that, my journey was smooth, as if it was divine help."

Xiao Chong nodded.

"I know what you mean, sir."

Xie Xuan laughed. Sometimes it is comfortable to talk to smart people. "Your Highness only needs to know about this matter. The powerful people entrenched in Tianqi City are all aiming for this. If you attract their attention, your safety may be difficult to guarantee."

Xiao Chong was stunned and looked at Xie Xuan in disbelief.

"Do they dare to attack a prince like me?"

Xie Xuan picked up the teacup and stopped talking, but Xiao Chong knew the other party's answer.

Suddenly he felt it was absurd. Were those people crazy? Just for an illusory thing, they were wanted by the entire dynasty.

"I don't know much about what's going on here. Maybe the Grand Master can explain a little bit, but he has more people to monitor, so he can't say many things casually."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chong suddenly felt a little cold. In such a big dynasty, even the imperial teacher was being monitored. What about the palace and the princes?

"At present, the people around Prince Yong'an are still trustworthy. Mr. Jun Yu has reached the peak of the Half-Step Return to the True Realm. If he wants to break through, it will only take a thought. So he doesn't value those things. As for the other people in the Half-Step Return to the True Realm, it's hard for me to say."

Xiao Chong sat in the same place, his movements had not changed. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Then I wonder if the Confucian Sword Immortal is interested in luck?"

If what Xie Xuan said is true, the fortune of the Beili Dynasty plays a vital role in breaking through the Shenyou Xuan realm. Then, as a person who is also in the Shenyou Xuan realm, what is Xie Xuan's attitude towards these things?
Xie Xuan looked at Xiao Chong deeply, and then said softly: "A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way."

Xiao Chong looked at the Confucian swordsman in front of him who claimed to be a scholar for a long time, then bowed.

"Mr. Gao Yi."

Xie Xuan shook his head.

"Not entirely. The Jiuxian and I have only been in the realm of breakthrough for a short time. We haven't reached a bottleneck in our realm improvement yet, and our mentality hasn't changed much. Besides, there is not only one way to break through the realm. The little Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain has already given us another way. We owe a huge cause and effect. Even if we reach the Return to Truth Realm, I'm afraid it will not be worth it in the end."

Xiao Chong still admired Xie Xuan's straightforwardness. If he were in Xie Xuan's shoes, he might not have the decisiveness of the Confucian Sword Immortal, nor would he necessarily be as free and easy as the Confucian Sword Immortal.

"The mind travels thousands of miles, and returns to the truth in one thought. Maybe after the matter of Tianqi is over, I should go out for a walk."

Xie Xuan stood up slowly, remembering what Zhao Shouyi had said when they parted on the southern battlefield. He smiled and shook his head.

"This is??"

Xiao Chong frowned. The last words of Ru Jianxian made his heart tremble. Most of the Taoist cultivation methods are just a lie, with thousands of books but a true sentence.

"The method of spiritual travel to break through the realm was mentioned by that little Taoist priest, but I'm not sure whether it's true or not."

Xiao Chong looked at Xie Xuan and asked, "Is it the one from Qingcheng Mountain?"

Xie Xuan sighed.

"Who else could it be other than him? In my opinion, he is the most incomprehensible person in this world. If he was willing to take action, why would Tianqi become like this?"

"But later I figured it out. Royal affairs are the most ruthless. There are almost no people who can finish a good job from beginning to end. It's better to stay out of it."

Xiao Chong said, "We are not fools. The facts are there. No matter how we beautify them, the facts have not changed. It is ridiculous to ask people to give up their lives for the sake of the world. If the stability of the world can only be achieved in this way, then what is the point of such a world?"

"I once heard the Imperial Master say that the future fortune of the dynasty will depend on you three brothers. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you should refrain from killing others."
