Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 745: Three Paths of the Divine Dynasty
"What can I use to pay it?"

The moment Shen Yi saw the vast amount of imperial energy, he knew that he would probably not gain any practical benefits today.

The other party seems to be showing off, but in fact he is explaining himself...explaining the original problem.

Just as Shen Yi had guessed before.

The Human Emperor was indeed prepared to sacrifice half of China, but it was not because he was a madman, but because he had something to win.

To win over all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

As for how to win, the other party did not say it clearly, but in front of such a vast amount of imperial energy, even the strongest person Shen Yi had ever seen, the Great Freedom Pure World Bodhisattva, seemed as small as an ant.

"What do you need most right now?" The Human Emperor soaked himself in the wine pool again, leaving only his head exposed.

Shen Yi thought for a long time, raised his head and said seriously: "Survive."

"Yeah."

The man smiled, as if he had expected it: "The three religions borrowed strength from each other, which was extremely dangerous. Although we succeeded in killing the Southern Emperor, there will always be problems."

"Are you in a lot of trouble now?"

The Emperor said, and sank down to swallow a mouthful of wine, his frowning brows slightly relaxed: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to Beizhou and join the Three Immortals Sect."

Shen Yi did not hide anything. The other party controlled the imperial energy of the world, so it was very easy for him to find out where he was going.

"So now it's those monks from the Bodhi sect who want to kill you?"

The Emperor nodded his chin and continued, "How do you want to surrender? Tell me the specific method."

"..."

Shen Yi fell silent again and shook his head: "No, I don't know much about the Three Religions."

He was completely unfamiliar with Beizhou. Although he could rely on the knowledge of the ancestor Shenxu, this insect demon himself had never been to Beizhou. He only occasionally obtained the Shenxu method to cultivate immortality. Even in the territory of Nanzhou, he was ostracized by his fellow disciples and had to hide in Taixu, not leaving the country for all year round.

He can probably brag about everything, but when it comes to details, he is clueless.

"Since you want to join the Three Immortals Sect, you have to find a relative first."

The Human Emperor was not surprised. He glanced at the memorial quietly. From the first thing to the last, only a few years had passed. The person in front of him was like a monster that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became a famous figure in Nanzhou.

This person is definitely not someone who comes from a decent background.

For such people, you should either find out their secrets and use them for your own benefit, or kill them as soon as possible.

But the Human Emperor chose neither.

This General Nanyang was a meritorious official of the Divine Dynasty and should not be killed… But from the cold look in his eyes when he faced that question, it could be seen that he and I were not of the same kind. At least this young man was opposed to his idea from the bottom of his heart.

The general Nanyang in front of him could not accept gambling with the lives of the people.

Since we are not going the same way, it is better for us to go our separate ways to avoid getting tired of each other.

"Of the Three Pure Ones and Five Imperial Gods, which one of your lineages is closer to you?"

"Three Pure Ones and Five Imperial Guardians?"

Shen Yi raised his head with clear eyes.

The Emperor's expression gradually became complicated, and he licked his lips: "As for the so-called three religions, leaving aside the true gods, the remaining two religions each have a group of people who have reached the pinnacle."

"The Bodhi teaching has three Buddhas, each of whom is accompanied by two true Buddhas, each of whom is in charge of three Mount Sumerus, a total of nine."

"Correspondingly, in addition to the Three Pure Ones, the Three Immortal Sect also has five other emperors, a total of eight people."

"Why is there one missing?" Hearing this, Shen Yi asked curiously, could it be that there is still a gap in the foundation of the two religions.

"Tsk, that's not too little."

The man gently rubbed the stubble on his chin. "Actually, it belongs to the Six Emperors, the Four Emperors of the East, South, West, North, and South, plus the Earth Mother..."

"What's the other one?" Shen Yi looked over.

The Human Emperor glanced at him, as if he was speechless: "The other one is me."

"..."

Shen Yi was stunned, and carefully looked at the man in front of him who had no trace of cultivation on his body. He really couldn't match him with the first-class giant who had reached the top.

"That's why I said Five Guardians."

The man stretched lazily. "The Human Emperor doesn't practice. He can be as powerful as them by relying on his imperial energy, but in comparison, his life span is like a mayfly. Generation after generation takes over the position of the last emperor. When it comes to my generation, I simply give up and don't bother with them."

Then he pointed to his front teeth and said, "You don't think it was knocked out by someone, do you? It fell out on its own. I'm old and dying."

With the cultivation level of Liuyu, repairing a front tooth is not a difficult task.

The Human Emperor closed his eyes and leaned lazily on the pebbles. He wanted to use this tooth to remind himself that he was still a human being, not a high and mighty god or Buddha. He would die eventually, so he had to finish everything in that short period of time without leaving any way out.

"These seventeen people in total represent the Taoist tradition of the world."

"What kind of Dao fruit are you?"

"The Shenxu lineage." Shen Yi responded straightforwardly.

In this situation, if you take even the slightest wrong step, you will end up dead.

The only one who can help him is the Human Emperor in front of him.

"Let me think... your fruit should belong to the lineage of Lingxuzi, the leader of Shangqing Sect. This Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is neither high nor low, so he is suitable for you to live with."

The man obviously knew a lot about the Three Immortals. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment before giving the answer: "But you are from the Shenxu lineage. Your ancestor is a bug monster. Your roots are too poor. Given the Three Immortals' noble attitude, you will inevitably be discriminated against. If you want to save your life, you should control your temper and it shouldn't be difficult for you to stay."

"As long as you stay, even if you can't get close to the Shangqing Sect Master, they won't just stand by and watch those monks bully you."

"Then...stay in Beizhou, don't get involved in any trouble, keep a low profile, and seek the method to enter the second rank. This step is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but as long as you take it, your life will be saved."

The Emperor stretched himself and splashed his wine: "This little information is not enough to equal your achievements. Tell me, besides the Emperor's Qi, what else can I do to help you?"

Such seemingly generous words again.

Shen Yi glanced over helplessly, having become somewhat accustomed to the stinginess of this Human Emperor.

The other party had already pointed out that, apart from the cultivators recruited by the Demon Slaying Bureau, the imperial court's own defending power, including the Human Emperor's own cultivation, all came from the imperial energy of heaven and earth.

They are completely two different paths.

In this situation, let alone getting any practical benefits, even getting guidance from this great master, one of the Six Imperial Gods, on one's own cultivation would be impossible.

"I need to keep abreast of the news of the three religions in the four continents." Shen Yi made a compromise. After experiencing what happened in Nanzhou, he knew the importance of information channels. In some cases, they can even save lives more than useful magic tools.

"Okay, leave someone you trust in the Imperial City, and have him be responsible for communicating with you alone."

The Human Emperor readily agreed, and then finally climbed out of the pool. He frowned subconsciously, but quickly concealed the discomfort on his face, waved his hand, and called a maid holding a jade tray from outside.

There was some fine wine on the plate that had been prepared long ago.

He dragged his wet body and filled two wine cups himself, handed one to Shen Yi, and said jokingly: "Don't worry, it's not from this pond."

"..." Shen Yi took the wine cup and drank with him.

The Emperor wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and finally said with a sigh: "It's a pity. If you and I were of similar temperaments, with your help, the probability of success would be at least 10% higher."

Wow.

He put down the wine glass, turned around and went back into the pool. After hesitating for a long time, he added a few words: "The knife in my hand only has one chance to stab. It's not that I am cruel by nature, but I just can't afford to lose."

"Thank you for saving Nanzhou."

"Live well, and when I have pacified this world, you will return and still be a first-rank general of my Divine Dynasty."

"If I lose... I hope you, the Immortal Bodhisattva, will be more merciful to the common people."

"Take care of yourself."

Without giving Shen Yi a chance to say more, the Human Emperor retracted his gaze and asked the maid to take Shen Yi out.

It's quiet at night.

Shen Yi walked out of the courtyard slowly, looking at the empty long street. After a long silence, he exhaled softly: "Huh."

It seems that this trip to the imperial city did not bring any practical benefits.

But the Human Emperor gave a reward whose preciousness is hard to describe.

When he left Nanxumi, Shen Yi went to Baji Valley and chose to kill the Five Bodhisattvas, which meant that he tied himself to the Divine Dynasty with his own hands.

The Human Emperor's last few words were to untie the ropes again and let him go.

There is no need to take sides, just live in peace.

No matter which side wins, Shen Yi is the winner. If he advances, he will be the general of the Divine Dynasty; if he retreats, he will be the Bodhisattva who subdues dragons and tigers of the Bodhi Sect, or the Taixu Dan Emperor of the Three Immortals Sect.

The Human Emperor’s meaning was very clear. Saving Nanzhou was enough, and the rest of the matters could be left to him.

"..."

Shen Yi's expression gradually became complicated. For a person like him who had come out of obscurity, it was difficult for him to have any good feelings towards the Human Emperor, a tyrant who regarded the world as a chessboard and treated all living beings as chess pieces.

After all, no one wants to be the discarded chess piece.

But the complicated thing about this matter is that even if Shen Yi pondered for a long time, he really couldn't think of a second way to win.

Opposite them are the Emperors of the Sky, the True Buddhas, and the six great religious leaders, while behind the people of the Divine Dynasty, there is only one of the Six Imperial Emperors.

The Human Emperor only had the strength of the first rank, but he could only watch the Divine Dynasty being devoured. What's more, his lifespan was so short that it could not even last as long as that of the other sect leaders and emperors, or even the second rank great free men. He could even outlive the Daluo Immortal.

After he dies of old age, will the next Human Emperor still have the courage to pick up that knife?
Besides.

Shen Yi has always experienced the feeling of being placed high expectations on by others. Even if he cannot protect himself, he still has to keep an eye on his home base and prevent others from taking it down.

It is rare to encounter a situation where someone takes the blame and urges you to get out of here to save your life.

This kind of inexplicable relaxation is really rare.

"call."

Shen Yi took another step and walked onto the long street, with less confusion in his eyes.

He can understand the Human Emperor's thoughts, but he cannot follow them. It has nothing to do with likes or dislikes, it's just that they have different ideas, which is normal.

So the other party is the emperor of mankind, the hero, while you are essentially a small person and can only do what you can.

With the guidance of one of the Six Imperial Lords, Shen Yi's thoughts became much clearer.

He was just about to go find Ye Lan, but at this moment, a carriage in front of him slowly stopped and blocked his way.

"General Nanyang."

A thin figure slowly got out of the car, nodded and smiled at Shen Yi: "Xianbu, Lin Shuya, we met in the wine pool last time."

After that, he stretched out his hand and handed over a jade slip: "This is the location of Lingxuzi's cave residence. His Majesty asked me to pass it to you."

"There is Lord Laurin."

Shen Yi took the jade slip and put it away carefully. When he looked up again, he saw that Lin Shuya had no intention of leaving. Instead, he stretched out his hand towards the carriage and said gently, "I know that General Nanyang is about to leave. I dare not delay him. I want to invite the general to my house for a chat before dawn."

As he spoke, Lin Shuya was also looking at the young man in front of him seriously.

Not only His Majesty could see that there was something wrong with the memorial. Besides being shocked, he also realized that the person in front of him was unusual. Every word in that horrifying resume revealed something weird!

According to the report from the maidservant in Jiuchi, it seems that the general has different ideas from Your Majesty.

This is also consistent with Lin Shuya's previous speculation.

How could a peerless genius who saved Nanzhou from disaster tolerate such a foolish and crazy plan by Your Majesty?

Seeing Shen Yi remained silent, he forced a smile: "It's just a chat, nothing else. Maybe... we are fellow travelers?"

The moment he heard this, Shen Yi suddenly laughed.

Lin Shuya was a little stunned, and the smile on his face became stiff: "Why is General Nanyang laughing?"

"nothing."

Shen Yi shook his head. He just felt that the fact that the conversation that had just ended had reached other people's ears so quickly was something worth lamenting.

Especially since this person is the head of the Immortal Department whom the Human Emperor trusts the most.

"I'm more used to walking alone."

Shen Yi declined the other party's kindness and walked around the carriage.

The water in this imperial city is deeper than I imagined.

In the current situation where his life is in danger, Shen Yi is not willing to get involved in the ideological disputes among these people.

"..."

Lin Shuya stood where he was, silently watching Shen Yi's back disappear into the night until he disappeared.

He lowered his eyes and withdrew his hand.

After an unknown amount of time, the thin middle-aged man suddenly sneered, "Ha."

Sure enough, these high-ranking figures all acted the same way. The safety of the world was not as important as their own cultivation. Even though the Divine Dynasty had been devastated, they were still thinking about the imperial reward that had not yet been delivered.

This is holding a grudge.

If we really want to save the world from suffering, it has to be ordinary people like us who do it.

Only ordinary people treat other people as human beings.

"Sir, do you want to transfer some imperial energy from other continents and try to draw out 20,000 to 30,000 calamities? Perhaps this will be able to appease the general's resentment." The immortal official in charge of driving the carriage asked in a low voice.

"No need."

Lin Shuya looked calm. He turned around, opened the curtain, got into the car, and said calmly, "I was wrong. He is not the person I am looking for."
