At the beginning of the sage cultivation base, the empress became an ex-wife

Chapter 137 The holy mountain is covered with clouds, and the imperial road is about to begin

The sword tomb in front of him is still there, and the glazed coffin is suspended.

Looking straight at the coffin, Xu Ze was thoughtful.

So far, Ye Qingling's aura still remains inside the coffin, and this coffin is where the female Sword Emperor buried her emotions and desires.

In this way, the matter is obvious.

"Thinking about it, the lightness should be the result of the female sword emperor's seven emotions and six desires."

"Because of this, Qingling cares more about the people around him and is more persistent in feelings than in terms of cultivation."

"My last life was really meaningless."

"My junior sister has such a big secret, but I am completely unaware of it. I only want to prove myself and catch up with Gu Wanqing."

Xu Ze whispered, his expression slightly self-deprecating.

This can also explain why the female sword emperor recognized herself?And why would he take the initiative to give away ancient swordsmanship?

It turned out that Ye Qingling and the female sword emperor were the same person.

It's just that for some reasons, the female sword emperor stripped away her emotions and desires and completely embarked on the path of ruthless swordsmanship.

There are some things that Xu Ze still doesn't understand.

For example, why did the "seven emotions and six desires" evolve into humans?

After evolving into an adult, how could Ye Qingling leave this eternal imperial palace and appear in Daozhou?
All this made Xu Ze puzzled.

anyway.

"No matter who Qing Ling is, she will always be my junior sister, and this will never change!" Xu Ze said seriously.

He guessed that the blood-robed shadow that just appeared from Fang Zhentian's body should be the person behind the scenes, the so-called Emperor's son.

And listening to the emperor's words, it seemed that he wanted to find Ye Qingling?
Xu Ze didn't know its purpose.

But he knew it!

Even if a disciple of the Emperor's Sect wants to touch Ye Qingling, he must first ask him if he agrees!

"If you dare to come, I will kill you!" Xu Ze said coldly.

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and put away the suspended glazed coffin.

Since this coffin can store people's seven emotions and six desires, it must be special.

In addition, this is the birthplace of Ye Qingling, which may come in handy one day.

After everything was done, Xu Ze was ready to leave Jiudaozhou.

The spiritual energy restrictions of Jiudaozhou are useless to him.

If he could stay here to practice, his training time would be greatly shortened!

But Xu Ze had no intention of staying.

Because he had to rush back to Wendao Shengzong as soon as possible, so as to better protect Ye Qingling.

Furthermore.

This trip took decades, and it was really time for him to go back and take a look.

Thinking of this, Xu Ze turned around and left the Sword Tomb, and soon arrived at the entrance of the Eternal Palace.

Just as it came.

Nine ancient formations circulated, and the ethereal ancient stone avenue was paved in front of him, opening a shortcut to the outside.

Xu Ze did not set foot on the main road, but cast his gaze to the bottom of the ancient staircase.

Below, there is a "person".

This man was dressed in splendid clothes, wearing a king's crown on his head, and holding a foot-long bloody knife. He stood like this below, looking directly at Xu Ze with a pair of dry and empty eyes.

"Puppet of the Holy King?"

After taking a look at him, Xu Ze was slightly surprised.

He sensed the aura of the Saint King's puppet when he touched the ancient formation of the Imperial Palace many times.

I thought this puppet only existed in that terrible place, but never thought that it would come here on its own initiative?

And looking at the aura of the puppet of the Holy Monarch, it seems that there is a plan to do something?

There was no killing intent, more like a test.

Although he didn't know what he meant, Xu Ze still waved and said: "Come on."

The words fall.

"Heh, heh."

The puppet's neck was twisted, and its jaw made strange sounds when it opened and closed.

next moment.

The puppet's eyes glowed red, and the bloody sword was held high in its hand.

His seven orifices were filled with bursts of black energy, and the holy power that had deteriorated but was still surging suddenly rolled up countless black clouds.

At this moment, the sky was dim and the swords were ringing for nine days.

The puppet suddenly slashed out with a knife!

The sword energy is like a blood curtain, and the sword's power is shattering.

The combination of the two actually split the space in front of him. In just a flash of light, the Blood Curtain Sword had already reached the top of Xu Ze!

I felt the power of this knife.

"He is worthy of being a holy king. Although he is just a puppet now, he still stands on the 'way of the sword'!" Xu Ze praised!
This blow.

The little sage will die if he touches it, and the great sage will be unable to resist it!
but!not enough!

This level of strength is still not enough to pose a threat to Xu Ze!

"bundle!"

Xu Ze made magic tricks with his hands and spoke the truth from his mouth.

As soon as this law comes out, time seems to have stopped, and the power of the law visible to the naked eye forms golden chains of the law, instantly binding the incoming bloody sword energy!
Let the sword energy stagnate in the air, and it will never fall again!
"Wang Gu!"

The phantom of the sword master appeared behind him, and Xu Ze swung his sword again.

The style of the sword is simple, and the sword spirit is unpretentious, but it has a strong 'ancient meaning', causing everything to decay and everything to wither.

The ancient meaning and the sword energy come into contact.

The sword energy that seemed to have supreme power could not withstand the erosion of the ancient intention. Soon the blood light became dim and was finally completely destroyed!
Seeing this, Xu Ze smiled with satisfaction.

After his cultivation reached the middle stage of Saint, his mastery of ancient swordsmanship also became stronger.

Has reached the realm of sending out as one likes!
In this way, he only needs to hone his skills a little more before he can use the "Second Style of the Ancient Sword"!
At that time, his strength will double again!
Xu Ze estimated.

When the time comes, it is only a basic exercise to obtain oneself and cultivate the great sage as a war sage.Even if the Holy Lord comes, he might be able to kill him with one sword!
If other saints knew about this, their jaws would definitely drop in shock!

Because there are insurmountable chasms between every realm of a saint.

From ancient times to the present, saints who can transcend a realm and kill enemies are qualified to become the emperor's sons of the emperor's sect and emperor's sect.

But what about Xu Ze?

As long as you master the two ancient sword styles, you can jump to two realms in a row and kill the saint with the cultivation level of the great saint?
This is simply incredible!
Although things are difficult to understand, they are also reasonable.

After all, Xu Ze has not only learned the ancient way of swordsmanship, but now he is a saint with both ways!
His ability is beyond the scope of common sense, so how can it be measured by common sense?
"what?"

After the sword fell, Xu Ze looked at the puppet below and made a surprised sound.

The Saint Lord puppet seemed to be frightened, and a look of shock flashed through his dry eyes!

This made Xu Ze understand instantly.

Different from those two demon puppets, although the Holy Lord in front of him is also a puppet, he has retained a lot of sanity!
"Are you coming again?" Xu Ze looked directly at the puppet and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the puppet shook his head and looked up at the sky in a very humane manner. There seemed to be thousands of emotions in his eyes that glowed red.

After sighing, the puppet put away the bloody sword.

He glanced at Xu Ze meaningfully.

then,

Hold your fists with your hands and kneel down on one knee!Take a deep bow!
Show surrender to Xu Ze with the posture of a king!

At the same time, Daodao's slightly hoarse voice appeared in Xu Ze's mind.

"The criminal of the Imperial Palace, 'Ruan Lou'! I have met the contemporary Emperor of the Imperial Palace!"

"From now on, Ruan Lou is willing to go to the emperor's road with the emperor, and overcome obstacles for the emperor!"

"I just hope that one day, the emperor's son can once again build the eternal honor of the imperial palace!"

After hearing these words, Xu Ze nodded.

Then he smiled again.

Indeed, in terms of personal strength, Ruan Lou is stronger than those two demon puppets.

But after all, Ruan Lou is a puppet who has lost the care of heaven and earth. He only has the cultivation of a saint, but does not have the full strength of a saint.

With such strength, he actually threatened to go to the imperial road with him and overcome all obstacles?
This is somewhat insufficient.

As if guessing what Xu Ze was thinking, Ruan Lou opened his jaw, and another word came into Xu Ze's mind by itself.

"I was a quasi-emperor before me, but I was deprived of the blessings of heaven and earth, and then refined into a puppet, so I fell to the level of a holy king."

Hearing this, Xu Ze's eyes narrowed slightly!
Deprived of the care of heaven and earth?You know, God’s care is a gift from God!Is there any way to peel it off?

"There is an ancient method called 'Nine Li Kills Life'."

"This method can strip away the saint's care of heaven and earth, and achieve the purpose of helping others become saints!"

"This method is a forbidden method. Every time it is used, it will cause disaster to the user."

"If used too many times, the user's spirit and soul will be separated, the Taoist heart will be broken, and there will be a risk of death."

Ruan Lou explained again.

These words immediately made Xu Ze excited!
He always knew.

Even though there are pills that can change the qualifications of one's master and parents, it is still not enough to make them saints!
But this 'Jiu Li kills life' works!
Although it is dangerous, you can give it a try!
"Do you have this method?" Xu Ze asked.

"There used to be Eternal Imperial Palace, but since the Eternal Imperial Palace collapsed, these ancient methods have been lost." Ruan Lou said.

These words made Xu Ze suddenly realize!

No wonder there were thousands of saints in the Eternal Imperial Palace!Come to think of it, this is not only because it was easier to become a saint in ancient times, but also because of such ancient methods!
It's a pity that these ancient methods have passed away!

"But I know where it is." Ruan Lou changed the subject.

"Where?" Xu Ze asked.

"Blood Demon Emperor Sect!"

"..."

Xu Ze frowned.

He guessed that this should be a Demonic Emperor Sect, but he felt like he had heard this name somewhere before...

After some thought, his eyes lit up!
It’s not that I’ve heard of it before, but it’s similar!

The name of this Blood Demon Emperor Sect is only one word different from that of the Blood Demon Sect near Yun'an City!
Back then, he had snatched many Zixue Shouzhi from the blood demon patriarch!
Is there any connection between these two?
"Maybe it's just a coincidence? After all, if the Blood Demon Sect is related to the Emperor Sect, it won't be just one of the major sects in Daozhou." Xu Ze analyzed secretly.

"As long as the emperor is willing to return my favor, then my cultivation level can return to that of the quasi-emperor!" Ruan Lou suddenly said.

"Return?" Xu Ze was confused.

He has never seen Ruan Lou's Tianjuan Digu, so how can he talk about returning it?
"My detached Heavenly Favored Earthly Care is currently in the 'Jiu Li Order'." Ruan Lou explained.

Nine Li Order?
Xu Ze instantly understood that this must be the token he obtained from the Imperial Pavilion!

Originally, he thought that the Jiu Li Order was just a tool to control two demon puppets, but he never thought that there was Ruan Lou's care in it?

"As long as the emperor crushes the token, Heaven's Favor will be able to return to my body on its own."

"Although my body is a puppet, I still have the strength of a quasi-emperor!"

"When the time comes, I will protect the emperor's son! It will be a great help on the road to becoming the emperor's son and becoming the emperor!"

"By joining forces with the Emperor's Son, I will surely be able to revive the Eternal Imperial Palace!"

Ruan Lou continued.

The voice is still hoarse, but there is obvious excitement!
Xu Ze understood.

Maybe, this is Ruan Lou’s real purpose!

It is true that if Ruan Lou recovers his cultivation, he can indeed help him a lot.

but!
There is also a lot of risk in this!

What if Ruan Lou turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone when the time comes?
This person is a sinner of the Eternal Palace, Xu Ze does not expect the sinner to keep his promise!

"I have already been branded by the Great Emperor of Wanfa, and I will never be able to betray the Emperor of Eternal Palace again in this life!"

"Now the emperor's son is the only one left in the imperial palace, and the emperor's son represents the imperial palace."

"In this way, there is no possibility of betrayal on my part."

Ruan Lou hurriedly explained.

"If the emperor is unwilling at this time, you can let me follow you. Once you are completely at ease with me, you can return to the care of heaven." He added.

Xu Ze couldn't tell how true or false the words were for a while.

But it doesn’t hurt to take Ruan Lou with him for the time being.

Anyway, with his current strength, if Ruan Lou has any thoughts of betrayal, he can be destroyed at any time!
"Yes." Xu Ze agreed.

"Ruan Lou will do his best to protect the emperor and his son!" Ruan Lou changed his knee to kneel and kowtow respectfully.

After kowtowing, Ruan Lou quickly climbed up the ancient steps and came to stand behind Xu Ze.

Although his body was still stiff, his face was respectful.

"Because I still have spiritual consciousness and am not a complete puppet, I cannot receive the spiritual ring, so I have to follow the emperor." Ruan Lou said.

"Then let's go." Xu Ze nodded.

After saying this, he took Ruan Lou and set foot on the road leaving Jiudaozhou.

And the moment he took a step forward, Jiudaozhou's spiritual energy suddenly became turbulent.

Countless spiritual energies gathered in the sky above the Eternal Imperial Palace, condensing into illusory figures.

This is the remaining will of the former imperial palace people!

These people were born in the imperial palace and died in the imperial palace.

Even though there are only ruins of the Eternal Imperial Palace now, their will after death will still stay here and last for tens of thousands of years.

thump.

thump.

thump.

There was a clear sound of ancient bells ringing from inside the imperial palace.

As the bell rang one after another, all the ghosts looked at Xu Ze's leaving back at the same time.

Their expressions were expectant, their eyes moved, they all cupped their hands, bent down and said:

"The Emperor's Palace will never be destroyed. I hope that the Emperor's son will come back to the world with the prestige of the Emperor's Palace!"

The voice is thick, high and persistent.

……

……

A few moments later, Xu Ze appeared in the sky outside Jiudaozhou.

As soon as he appeared, he noticed the difference.

Although the dry sea underfoot is still turbulent, there is a red glow coming from the distance, dyeing the dry sea red.

Following the rays of light, Xu Ze looked far away and his pupils could not help but shrink.

In the distance, on the horizon, an illusory mountain shrouded in red clouds stands tall in the sky.

It's the Holy Mountain!

Decades ago, the Holy Mountain appeared in front of the world like a fairy mountain, carrying the power of heaven.

Based on the falling speed of the Holy Mountain at that time, Xu Ze guessed that in more than ten years at most, the Holy Mountain would completely descend and open the road to sainthood.

Who would have guessed!

After such a long time, not only is the Holy Mountain still in the sky!And the power of the sky around is even worse, it has condensed into rosy clouds!
In his previous life, Xu Ze had only seen such a scene on the eve of Gu Wanqing's victory as emperor.

Although I have seen it, I don’t understand its meaning.

"This is... the holy mountain is covered with clouds, and the imperial road is about to open!" Upon seeing this, Ruan Lou was trembling with excitement.

"What do you mean?" Xu Ze frowned.

"Return to the emperor."

After bowing respectfully, Ruan Lou explained in detail:

"Although the Holy Mountain appears only once in thousands of years, only when the Holy Mountain is covered with clouds and the rays of light shine through the world does it mean that the imperial road will be opened."

"The opening time of the Imperial Road is not fixed, but there are rules."

"There are two rules."

"[-]. When 'Tao' detects that one or more saints have the qualifications and strength to become an emperor, they will start the road to becoming an emperor."

"Second, the natural emperor loses his appearance!"

"Under such circumstances, 'Tao' will start the road to becoming emperor in advance to make up for the throne that has been determined for a long time!"

Xu Ze already knew the first rule.

But the second?

Since he had never heard of the cause of the fruit, he couldn't understand it.

"The emperor's son, who possesses the 'companion emperor source', was called the 'born emperor' in ancient times!" Ruan Lou reminded.

Hearing this, Xu Ze finally understood.

To put it bluntly, that's it.

Gu Wanqing is the empress that has been determined by the Tao for a long time, but due to her own demise as an emperor, she has lost her status as an empress!

It was precisely because he was aware of this situation that Tao opened the imperial path in advance and planned to reshape a great emperor!
"So it's because of her."

Xu Ze murmured, not knowing what to think for a while.
