From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But, you Dongji cultivators, do you know the origin of the Supreme Burial King? What is the path he practices?"

Hearing this, the Holy Son of Tianji said without hesitation: "The evil demons and heretics are nothing more than some methods of extradition and cultivation that are designed to harm lives and benefit themselves. We don't care to know them!"

"Hmph! Shut up!"

Ren Wuqing snorted coldly, and suddenly a tremendous pressure poured out and hit the head of the Son of Tianji. He was immediately struck by lightning, groaned, and fell straight to the ground, fainting and unconscious.

Seeing this, Lin Chaoyu's face suddenly changed and he prepared to fight.

However, after punishing the Holy Son of Tianji, Ren Wuqing did not launch any further attacks, as if he was only doing so to punish him for disrespecting the Supreme Burial King.

He turned his gaze and fell on Xiao Minghuang and Lin Chaoyu again, as if nothing had happened, and continued: "You should know that in fact, no one is born evil. Only cultivators who have practiced the six evil ways can be called evil. This is also the definition of us by you Dongji cultivators."

But as Ren Wuqing said, even if the Dongji cultivators have been practicing the Dongji magical classics since childhood, if they deviate from the classics and practice evil methods, they will be regarded as fellow evildoers by other Dongji cultivators and will be required to exorcise demons.

“Therefore, the Supreme Burial King was not born evil in the beginning. His roots are from the Wood Spirit Clan, one of the hidden demon clans!”

When talking about the Wood Spirit Clan, Ren Wuqing narrowed his eyes slightly, as if with some reminiscence, but also flashing a dangerous light that made people shudder.

The Wood Spirit Tribe?

Lin Chaoyu and Xiao Minghuang were both stunned. They had rarely heard of the name of this ethnic group.

It was only heard that there was a genius from the Wood Spirit Clan on the Hidden Dragon List, but no one had actually seen this person.

"You must be very curious. He was originally the Burial King Supreme of the Wood Spirit Clan. Why did he join the evil demons and why did he become the Burial King Supreme of the Six Paths of Evil Demons?"

To be honest, Xiao Minghuang was not curious at all. She frowned. Right now, Ren Wuqing gave her a very bad feeling, very dangerous, far more than the oppressive feeling that an ordinary saint could bring.

She seriously suspected that Ren Wuqing was hiding his strength.

Lin Chaoyu was led by him and nodded silently.

"Let me tell you..."

“The Wood Spirits are innate creatures born from nature and raised by nature. Although they are named the Wood Spirits, every member of the Wood Spirit tribe is actually a unique and extraordinary innate creature.”

Xiao Minghuang thought to herself that she had once subdued an innate dragon fruit tree in the southern border, so it should also be an innate creature.

"The predecessor of the Supreme Burial King was an innate creature, and its name was - the Innate Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree."

Having said this, a hint of sadness flashed in Ren Wuqing's eyes.

"The Xiantian Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree is an extremely rare innate spiritual root. It contains the Origin Taiyin Avenue and the Origin Time Avenue. It is not a divine object that a large world like the Five Realms can possess. Therefore, the immortals in the heavens coveted it and used some means to break through the barrier of the boundary wall, descended into the Five Realms, and killed the Supreme Burial King!"

376. Conditions

"The Xiantian Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree is worthy of being an innate spiritual root. Even when facing an immortal, it has left itself a way out."

"At the moment when the immortal seized its body, the Xiantian Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree, which was proficient in the origin of time, split itself into two halves. One half was the Taiyin Way, which was severely injured by the immortal and fell into the East Pole. It lingered on and turned into a large tomb, which was the main consciousness of the Xiantian Laurel Immortal Tree."

"The other half is the Way of Time. He escaped to the Southern Wilderness, took over another body and was reborn. He later became the Supreme Burial King!"

"But as time went by, the life span of the Supreme Burial King was approaching, so he tried to find the other half of his soul and devour it to live a second life. So Nanhuang sent a group of people to sneak into Dongji to look for an opportunity to act."

"Guess what happened? Those people did find the other half of the Supreme Burial King's soul, but they didn't expect that the other half of the Supreme Burial King's soul had the same idea as the Supreme Burial King and also wanted to devour the other half of their own soul to survive."

Xiao Minghuang knew in his heart that it was impossible for Ren Wuqing to know these ancient secrets, so the so-called "Ren Wuqing" in front of him was not Ren Wuqing at all!

"Are you the Innate Laurel or the Supreme Burial King?"

Xiao Minghuang's eyes were extremely solemn, and he asked slowly.

"The dying Supreme Burial King probably doesn't have the courage to cross over."

Having said this, Ren Wuqing showed a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face.

As soon as these words were spoken, the identity of the person in front of him became obvious.

"You are... Xiantian Yuegui, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned. The person in front of her was an ancient innate creature with an extremely mysterious origin. He had fought with immortals before. The pressure he could bring was obviously far greater than that of Ren Wuqing.

"You should probably ask, I don't want anything to happen again."

Xiantian Yuegui turned around and suddenly changed her appearance.

Ren Wuqing's figure disappeared, and was replaced by a slender and tall female figure.

It was a beautiful and cold face, with skin as smooth as cream and as delicate as a baby's. A pair of bright silver eyes were as bright as the moon in the night sky, with a beautiful nose, cherry lips, and rosy mouth corners that outlined a perfect arc.

She was dressed in white, flowing and elegant, like a peerless beauty walking out of a painting, like the Lady of the Nine Heavens, or like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, with skin as white as ice and bones, and a natural beauty, as if she had gathered the essence of heaven and earth, and the brilliance of the sun and the moon.

Xiao Minghuang was startled when he saw the woman suddenly appear.

"This is my true appearance. I have to thank that young man for traveling thousands of miles from the Southern Wilderness to bring me these life essences. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to recover my Saint Realm strength."

A smile appeared on Xiantian Yuegui's beautiful face, and she said, "Young man, let's talk about the terms!"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xiao Minghuang became extremely alert. Judging from Xiantian Yuegui's words, Ren Wuqing was obviously killed by her and then even swallowed and absorbed.

Although she found it difficult to sense the strength of the person in front of her, he had obviously reached the Saint Realm. As to whether he was a Saint King or a Quasi-Emperor, she could not tell.

Moreover, the other party was an ancient innate creature and she didn't know how many methods he had. If it was not necessary, she didn't want to make enemies with him.

"Let's talk about the Southern Wilderness, the Heaven Realm..."

Xiantian Yuegui twisted her fingertips and said nonchalantly, "And your Taoist partner, the little girl with the Xiantian Taiyin body."

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's eyes instantly became extremely sharp. She stared at the other party and said in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't get me wrong, don't worry, I mean no harm to that little girl."

Xiantian Yuegui waved her hand and said with a smile: "You have also seen that the girl has the body of the innate Taiyin, and she is extremely talented. And I also have the innate Taiyin spirit root, and I just happen to have a connection with her. I am so excited to see her that I want to keep her by my side to exchange Taoism. Please don't misunderstand me!"

"Please return my Taoist partner to me. I will definitely agree to your conditions!"

Xiao Minghuang knew that the other party was using Lin Wanqiu to negotiate with her, but the situation was stronger than the person. Unless she didn't care about Lin Wanqiu's life, she could only bow her head.

Xiantian Yuegui shook his head and sighed, saying faintly: "Alas, young people who are so emotional will never achieve great things!"

As she spoke, she flicked her fingertips. A flash of silver light passed by her fingertips, then quickly enlarged and reflected in the void, revealing the figure of Lin Wanqiu.

Lin Wanqiu was still unconscious at this moment, but she was safe and sound, only her cheeks were pale.

Seeing this, Xiao Minghuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and moved quickly to answer it.

However, Xiantian Yuegui twisted her fingertips again, and Lin Wanqiu's figure suddenly disappeared.

"Senior, whatever conditions you have, I will do my best to fulfill them!"

Xiao Minghuang suppressed his impulse, took a deep breath, and said respectfully.

"Young people should not hold back their anger, as it is harmful to your health!"

Xiantian Yuegui smiled and said, "I don't have any special conditions. I just need you to help me tame the Southern Wasteland, capture the Burial King Supreme, and then kill your way into the Heaven Realm to capture the immortal who stole my body that year."

"Just complete these two small tasks, and I will return your Taoist partner to you. How about that?"

Xiantian Yuegui said this so calmly that Xiao Minghuang's face suddenly turned dark.

Trample the Southern Wilds, capture the Supreme Burial King, and bring him in front of her?

Break into the heaven and capture the immortals?

Are you teasing her?

She held back her breath and said in a deep voice: "Senior, please don't joke!"

"Hahaha!"

A silver bell-like laughter suddenly rang out in the air, and Xiantian Yuegui chuckled, "Young people really can't stand being teased. Never mind, if you tease me again, I'll get angry. I'll return your Taoist partner to you!"

The words fell.

She twisted her fingertips, and a silver light flew out from her hands and hung in front of Xiao Minghuang.

Suddenly, a soft and delicate body fell into her arms.

It was Lin Wanqiu who was in a coma.

Xiao Minghuang hurriedly hugged Lin Wanqiu, and after checking, she confirmed that Lin Wanqiu was not injured. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

"Thank you, senior!"

She took the unconscious Lin Wanqiu into the Purple Mansion and thanked Xiantian Yuegui.

"Young man, don't be too happy too soon. I've already said that I'm negotiating terms with you. Now my sincerity has been returned to you, but I haven't received your sincerity yet."

Xiantian Yuegui narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and said with a smile.

"If the senior has given orders, the juniors shall not dare to disobey!"

Xiao Minghuang cupped her hands, and the other party returned Lin Wanqiu to her, which was enough to show their sincerity.

Give me a peach, and I will give you a jade pendant in return.

Although she didn't know what conditions Xiantian Yuegui wanted to negotiate, she should indeed respond with sincerity.

"Time is urgent, I'll keep it short."

Xiantian Yuegui looked at the transparent coffin in the sky and the skinny corpse in the coffin that was gradually becoming full of flesh and blood.

377. The Origin of the Buried King

She put away her smile and said solemnly, "At the end of the last era, the Supreme Burial King took advantage of the era's catastrophe to attack me. In that battle, we both suffered losses. My realm fell to the Saint Realm, and he also lost a lot of lifespan."

"Because I am a world of my own, and I am the main consciousness of the Xiantian Taiyin Yuegui, although my strength is not as good as his, the immortal nature of the Xiantian creatures still exists, so I don't need to worry about the end of my lifespan."

"After the Burial King Supreme took over another body and was reborn, he spent too long a time. According to Nanhuang, he had already fallen, but that is not the case."

"He can use the Way of Time to devour the lifespan of others and extend their lifespan, but his soul is not complete, which makes it impossible for him to connect to the heavens and condense his immortal energy. So, sooner or later, he will come to fight me."

"But he is too old, his passion has long been exhausted, and he dares not take risks himself. Since he dares not go to Dongji in person to fight a decisive battle, he can only send out the biggest card in his hand."

Xiantian Yuegui looked at Xiao Minghuang with a solemn look in his eyes and said:

"Are you ready?"

"With a quasi-emperor who has been practicing for nearly an epoch and has reached the tenth level of the Immortal Saint Realm."

"A fight to the death?"

After listening to what Xiantian Yuegui said, Xiao Minghuang's mind focused.

Quasi-emperor.

Once upon a time, this was an unattainable realm, a great existence that she could only look up to.

But at this moment, she has to face enemies of this level.

"Junior understands."

After a moment, Xiao Minghuang raised his head slightly and smiled, "But, he is a Quasi-Emperor after all. I have just entered the Sainthood, how can I be a match for a Quasi-Emperor with such a profound background?"

"If you are willing to lend a helping hand to me, I will fight to the death for you, even at the cost of my life!"

"Haha, young people are really good at bargaining!"

Xiantian Yuegui chuckled and said, "Isn't it enough to show my sincerity if I return your Taoist partner to you?"

Xiao Minghuang smiled but said nothing.

Since we are negotiating conditions, it is a deal.

Since it is a transaction, sincerity is just sincerity, and the price must always be clearly negotiated.

Otherwise, what is called a transaction?

"You have to know that he is a quasi-emperor who has practiced for nearly an epoch. His accumulation is extremely rich. After you kill him, you will get countless treasures. Isn't that a good deal?"

The innate laurel lures you step by step.

But Xiao Minghuang is not a fool. If she kills the quasi-emperor, the quasi-emperor's inheritance will naturally be hers. It has nothing to do with Xiantian Yuelau. How can she be generous to others?

Seeing that Xiao Minghuang was unmoved, Xiantian Yuegui felt annoyed and regretted returning the Taiyin body to her in advance.

"If I still have her Taoist partner, how can she bargain?"

However, if she forcibly threatened Xiao Minghuang with his Taoist partner, she might be able to force Xiao Minghuang to submit, but it would also cause her endless trouble.

After all, transactions and coercion are two different things, and she doesn't want to offend Xiao Minghuang, a genius who will definitely become an immortal in the future.
