But at this moment, when he learned that even his biggest backer wanted to kill him, he finally felt the threat of death.
"Ancestor, I was wrong!"
"Grandfather, give me a chance, give me a chance!"
Patriarch Dao Song shook his head indifferently, and with a wave of his sleeves, Zhao Pan's body exploded with a bang, leaving only a terrified head that kept making pleading sounds.
"Give you a chance?"
"Song Xuan gave you a chance! I, the ancestor, also gave you a chance!"
"What a pity! I gave you the chance but you didn't use it!"
As he spoke, the old ancestor slowly raised his palm, ready to completely blow Zhao Pan's head apart with one blow.
Faced with certain death, Zhao Pan went completely crazy, and all kinds of angry curses were heard in his ears.
What an old fool, what an old fool, he kept cursing.
“Old man, you said I was incompetent, but what good are you?”
Zhao Pan spoke quickly, "As an ancestor, you can't even protect your descendants, what kind of ancestor are you!
No wonder the dynasty you founded was called Dao Song. I always thought this name had some deep meaning, but after all this time, you old thing are just a Taoist coward!
"You shouldn't call me Dao Song Patriarch, you should call me Dasong Patriarch!"
Patriarch Dao Song, who had not had any special reaction until now, changed his expression for the first time.
Once upon a time, tens of thousands of years ago, the monks of his generation did call him that.
Because he is really a coward!
While others were fighting, he was so timid that he could only hide in the cave to practice.
While others were vying for opportunities, he was so timid that he didn't even dare to go and watch.
Even when his beloved senior sister got together with someone else, he could only watch helplessly, and was so timid that he didn't even have the courage to express his feelings.
Bang!
Patriarch Dao Song brought down a palm, and Zhao Pan's head exploded completely, along with his primordial spirit and Dao fruit, which were completely destroyed. His body and soul were annihilated and turned into ashes!
The old ancestor's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he snorted coldly: "So what if I'm a coward, staying alive is the kingly way!
Zhao Pan, you know too much!"
Chapter 836 My surname is Yue, and I come from Taixuantian in the upper realm
When Song Xuan received the news of Zhao Pan's death, he was not surprised.
As early as when he had reached an agreement with Dao Song Patriarch, the other party's fate was already determined.
Dao Song Patriarch is a person who is weak on the outside but strict on the inside.
When faced with people of the same rank, he is compromising by nature, but he is extremely strong towards his disobedient subordinates.
Even if Song Xuan didn't want Zhao Pan's life, the Taoist Song Patriarch would never tolerate a descendant who dared to disobey his orders!
Of course, now that the emperor is dead, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
No matter what, Zhao Pan is the biological father of the new emperor Zhao Zhe, so the national funeral ceremony must still be held.
And it was at the funeral that Song Xuan met the extremely mysterious commander of the Imperial City Division, Yue Lingyun, for the first time!
Unexpectedly, this person was not as big and strong as Song Xuan had expected. Instead, he was extremely handsome. From a distance, he looked like a gentle scholar.
As if he had noticed Song Xuan's gaze, after Zhao Pan's ascension ceremony was completed, Yue Lingyun summoned Inspector Song to the commander's office.
"sit!"
Yue Lingyun personally brewed a pot of tea and looked at Song Xuan who was looking around the office. He smiled and said, "Don't look anymore. This place will be yours sooner or later. You'll have plenty of time to explore it slowly in the future!"
Song Xuan said modestly, "Your Excellency is too polite. I don't have such intentions!"
"That's no fun when you say that."
Yue Lingyun waved his hand. "A new emperor appoints new ministers. This has always been the unspoken rule of all great dynasties. Even if you don't have any intentions, I won't be able to hold on as the commander for long."
He filled two teacups with tea, pushed one of the cups towards Song Xuan, then picked up the cup next to him and took a sip.
"I heard from the people down there that you like tea. This is the finest tea I collected from Yaoqing Wudao Mountain. Fellow Daoist, could you try it and see if it suits your taste?"
Song Xuan smiled slightly, not afraid at all, and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The fragrance of tea leaves spreads in your mouth instantly, as if a spring breeze blows across the tip of your tongue, bringing a fresh and elegant feeling.
He savored the aroma of the tea, feeling its changes and aftertaste in his mouth.
This cup of tea not only made him feel comfortable and relaxed, but even his soul, which was constantly comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, for a moment, became a little faster in its deductions.
He smiled and said, "This tea is quite interesting!"
Yue Lingyun laughed heartily, "It's more than just interesting. It's just that your realm is too high, so the effect isn't obvious. If a cultivator below the Fusion Realm drinks it, maybe he'll get an epiphany right away!"
Song Xuan held the teacup and asked curiously, "Daoyou are from Yaoqing?"
Yue Lingyun waved his hand and said, “When I was young, I practiced in seclusion in Yaoqing for a period of time. Later, when I reached the Mahayana stage, I joined the Imperial City Division in Daosong.
You should have met Patriarch Dao Song. In some aspects, he is actually quite easy to talk to as long as you don't touch his reverse scale.
Later, he and I reached an agreement to assist the emperor in governing the country, and he allowed me to take the position of commander-in-chief and enjoy the power of the dynasty and part of the fortune compass.
Now that the emperor has changed, Dao Song Patriarch should have discussed this with you. The next commander should be you, Daoist friend, right?"
Song Xuan was not vague this time, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be.
There is one thing I don't understand. Since you are the commander-in-chief and have the responsibility to assist the emperor in governing the country, why didn't you react at all when Zhao Pan and I were playing against each other? "
Yue Lingyun smiled awkwardly, "To be honest, I came to Dao Song to be an official because I was attracted by the fact that the Dao Song Patriarch is easy to talk to and has few restrictions.
To be frank, I became the commander just to get some luck and resources. I was attracted by the cultivation conditions here, which are much better than those in the ninth-level sects' paradise.
I take care of the small things downstairs and stay in seclusion for the big things. Occasionally I come out to show up for a while, which is considered fulfilling my duties.
In this mortal world, we are just passers-by after all. The upper realm is our real stage. There is no need to put too much energy on these trivial matters of the mortal world.
Fellow Daoist and I are of the same kind, so you should have no objection to what I say, right?"
Song Xuan was slightly stunned?
Is this a person who meets a fellow traveler?
If there is danger, I will hide. If there is no danger, I will take advantage of the public. My main goal is to take advantage of the opportunity.
Song Xuan's face was filled with excitement as he asked tentatively, "So, fellow Daoist, you are also..."
Yue Lingyun nodded and smiled, "Indeed, I am also the reincarnation of an immortal from the upper realm. I come from Taixuan Heaven, one of the thirty-three heavens in the upper realm. My last name is Yue. I think my surname should be familiar to you, fellow Daoist."
"Oh?"
Song Xuan showed a hint of surprise at the right moment, "Fellow Daoist, are you from the Yue clan of Taixuantian?"
Yue Lingyun smiled somewhat proudly and said, "That's right!"
Based on the other party's reaction, Song Xuan could infer that the Yue clan members of Taixuantian should have extremely noble status, otherwise Yue Lingyun would not be so arrogant just because of a surname.
Song Xuan showed a hint of confusion, "Since you have such a background, why do you want to reincarnate?"
"well,"
Yue Lingyun sighed, "Although I am a member of the Yue family, I can only be considered a very small branch. Although the main branch of the Yue family is the real power controller of Taixuantian, the resources that can be distributed to me are also limited.
Of course, the main reason is that I was traumatized in the womb before I was born, which damaged my innate foundation and made it impossible for me to reach the realm of true immortality in my lifetime.
In desperation, after I cultivated to the celestial immortal realm, I chose to die in reincarnation under the persuasion of my family elders.
Speaking of which, this life is my ninth reincarnation. It was only after I broke through the Mahayana stage in this life that I awakened the memories of my first life!"
Having said this, he paused and said with a smile, "I have finished explaining my origins. So, fellow Daoist, should I tell you who you are?"
Song Xuan asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you so sure that I'm also the reincarnation of an immortal from the upper realm? Can't I just be gifted and cultivate all by myself?"
Yue Lingyun laughed heartily, finding it amusing, "Fellow Daoist, please stop joking. Your cultivation level can be concealed, but the instinctive aura from life is difficult to conceal.
I estimate that you have been practicing for a few hundred years at most, or even less than three hundred years. In such a short time, if you don't have any strong background, it is impossible for you to have such strength.
The indigenous creatures of the World of Ten Thousand Spirits are not even a little bit inferior to us, the reincarnated people from the upper realm, in terms of soul essence. Even if the Heavenly Dao keeps giving us opportunities, it is impossible for us to cultivate to such a level within a few hundred years!
Let me tell you this, in this world, each of those so-called taboos is related to the upper realm.
They are either the reincarnation of immortals and gods from the upper realm, or the reincarnation of the avatar of some powerful being. I have never seen a native of the world of all spirits who can cultivate to the forbidden level!
So, now, fellow Daoist, can you please be frank and tell me where you are from in the upper realm?
Don't worry, I'm just curious, and I swear I won't tell anyone else about it!"
Chapter 837 Retreat
Song Xuan pondered for a moment, looked at the other person's curious eyes, and smiled lightly.
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I haven't awakened much of my past life's memories. I can only roughly remember that I might have come from Daluo Heaven."
Song Xuan didn't know what the so-called thirty-three heavens in the upper realm were.
Even his previous life, the Lord God Xuantian, didn't know much about the situation in the upper realm, but this didn't affect Song Xuan's bragging.
The reason why he specifically mentioned Daluotian was because he was sure that there was indeed such an area called Daluotian in the upper realm.
When Song Qian attacked the Shanpo Patriarch, before she died, the Shanpo Patriarch asked Song Qian about her origins.
Victoria Song considers herself to be the Great Lord.
Ancestor Shanpo still didn't believe it, thinking that Daluotian was one of the thirty-three heavens. If you are Daluotian, then aren't you the embodiment of the will of heaven?
"From Daluo Heaven?"
Yue Lingyun suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist should be the immortal who perished and reincarnated after the immeasurable calamity in ancient times."
Song Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of curiosity at the right moment. "Fellow Daoist, do you know something? Could you tell me a little?"
"I do know some."
Yue Lingyun smiled and said, “This matter is not a secret in the upper realm.
The upper realm is very large. Compared with the almost boundless prehistoric continent, the thirty-three heavens are less than one ten-thousandth of its area.
The Thirty-three Heavens is a special space-time region that is dependent on the Honghuang Continent but relatively independent of it.
According to my Taixuantian ancestor Yue Yuan, in the upper realm of the prehistoric times, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years constitutes one Huiyuan. Every ten Huiyuans, all living beings will encounter a minor catastrophe. All those below the level of Golden Immortal are in danger of falling into the catastrophe.
There is a great calamity in Baihui Yuan. No one below Daluo dares to say that they can survive the calamity safely.
As for the ten thousand Hui Yuan, there will be countless calamities. Below the Hun Yuan, all are ants, and all living beings need to go through countless calamities! "
Song Xuan asked curiously, "I wonder if there are more calamities beyond the infinite calamities?"
Yue Lingyun shook his head. "I don't know. I was lucky enough to hear the ancestor preach once. The ancestor didn't talk much about disasters. I only know that in the Hunyuan realm, one is indestructible and immune to all disasters. It is recognized by all living things in the prehistoric world as the supreme immortal being!"
“If Daoist friend really came from Daluo Heaven in his previous life, then he must have been the mighty one who perished in the immeasurable calamity in ancient times.
That catastrophe was called the Lich Catastrophe!
During that catastrophe, countless people died and were injured in the prehistoric continent, and the disaster even spread to the Thirty-three Heavens.
The heavenly court established by the demon clan at that time was in Daluotian. As a result, Daluotian suffered the greatest loss and was almost destroyed. Countless immortal and god-level beings fell. It is said that the will of Daluotian was shattered because of this!
After this catastrophe, the two supreme races of the prehistoric world, the witches and liches, declined, the human race began to rise, and the immortals and gods of the thirty-three heavens began to redistribute the order and established a new heaven with Haotian God as the Emperor of Heaven...”
Song Xuan listened quietly.
The so-called upper realm is the prehistoric world, but it sounds like it is somewhat different from the prehistoric world in his impression.
The biggest difference is that in Yue Lingyun's mouth, Hongjun Daozu, who should have been the ultimate boss, was not even mentioned by name.
Song Xuan tried to transmit the name Hongjun, but Yue Lingyun just looked at him blankly, "Is this person your good friend from Daluotian in your previous life?"
Song Xuan shook his head and smiled, "I have this name in my memory of my previous life. Maybe he is my good friend. Since you don't know him, forget it."
...
After leaving the Commander's Office, Song Xuan felt a little heavy in his heart.
The upper realm is the primitive world, which is neither good nor bad for him. At least he has some ideas about the plot of the primitive world in his mind, which gives him some first-mover advantage.
