Moon Emperor

Chapter 397: Living but not living, dying but not dying

After thanking the Immortal Master again, Bai Hu put away his fierce weapon [Instant Prison] and returned to his seat to sit down.

Seeing this, most of the other envoys realized that this rebellious master should have recognized the reality; this is also a good thing, it will help improve the overall cohesion of the organization, and there will be one less person holding him back.

At this time, Gou Chen asked with some curiosity: "May I ask the Immortal Master, was Yue Jiansheng really killed by someone from Moran Palace?"

"No," Su Yan briefly explained the real cause of Yue Jiansheng's death, including how he was bewitched by the master of the Demon Ran Palace, and how he eventually became possessed and died.

Of course, there is no figure of Lin Wanqiu in the whole story, only a brief confrontation between herself and Yue Jiansheng.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Yue Jiansheng was considered a strong man with a good reputation in the righteous path. Unexpectedly, he had been secretly hijacked by the Night Demon King, and even had his mind eroded by the magic power, and finally ended up like this.

If Donghai Sword Sect hadn't cared about his face and gave him a good reputation after discussing with the Immortal Master, Yue Jiansheng would have been reviled by thousands of people even in death.

Xuanwu, who was also one of the four masters of the Demonic Way, couldn't help but worry a little when he heard this: "There shouldn't be any similar hidden dangers in me, right?"

From Su Yan's point of view, Xuanwu was also a cheater. Although it was because Immortal Xuan was trying his best to cultivate him, he was also on his own terms and his progress in cultivation was not much slower than Su Yan's.

Xuanwu's current realm is the same as Xie Bingxin of Qingcheng Palace, which is the peak of the fourth realm.

Hearing Xuanwu's worries at this time, Tiantian explained to him: "There is no need to worry. As I said before, "The Art of Immortality" is not a pure magic method and will not have any mental impact."

"It is precisely because of this that Immortal Xuan's behavior is obviously more sober than other major demon sects."

When the older group of envoys heard this, they remembered what happened back then. The Immortal Lord seemed to have a plot against Immortal Xuan?Therefore, I hope that Xuanwu will grow up step by step and eventually take charge of Immortal Xuan.

Su Yan silently complained about this, "Can you guys stop thinking so wildly? What's the point of me wanting to die?"Can they help me kill the general situation?

Even if this group of people is really loyal to him and willing to sacrifice his life to fight for him fanatically, is Su Yan going to lead the Demon Sect to attack Lianhua Temple? ?Isn't that funny? I'm afraid I'll laugh out loud if the situation is too great.

Moreover, Xuanwu is still far away from taking charge of the sect. The demon sect is full of old men, and it is not easy for a little kid to usurp the throne.

Even if the Twelve Patrolmen were dispatched en masse, and when the Master of the Immortal Xuan was out, they would surround him and kill him. Xuanwu would be just a bare commander without support in the sect, unless the Twelve Patrolmen could brainwash the entire Immortal Xuan monks.

But in that case, it would be better to just let Su Yan be the master of the hall.
Xuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, "Although the Immortal Art is very dangerous to practice, it is indeed mysterious and miraculous, especially what the master and elders said [will be alive before death, will be dead before death], which sounds half-assed." Do you understand or not?”

"They said that if I could understand this realm, I might be able to break into the three mystical realms of life and death in the future."

"Think of life before death as weak, and death before death as strength." Su Yan added casually after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the palace suddenly fell into silence. All the patrols seemed to be thinking about the deep meaning of this sentence. Is this a pointer to Xuanwu?

Xuanwu himself was stunned for a moment, and then began to mutter to himself, chewing on this sentence, "Consider life before death as weak, and death before death as strong."

His eyes were confused at first, then thoughtful. After a long time, Xuanwu felt a sense of enlightenment!His eyes were also bright, "That's it, that's it."

Xuanwu immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to the Immortal Master, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for your guidance!"

When the envoys saw Xuanwu's excited tone, they knew that this simple sentence had brought him great gains. They couldn't help but admire the Immortal Master even more. He could point out others' problems with just a casual word. Could it be that the Immortal Master had great influence on Immortal Xuan? Have you ever done any special research on law?

From this point of view, the Immortal Lord should really intend to take the Immortal Xuan into his pocket.
Facing Xuanwu's thanks, Su Yan just nodded with a stiff neck, looking very cold.

In fact, his inner thought was: No, this is okay? ?

Su Yan was just trying to be mysterious, saying a few obscure words to match the atmosphere. It was impossible for anyone to ask him to explain in detail.

As for why I say this, it's very simple.

Translated into the vernacular, "shengweisheng" means: "I am about to come back to life, but I don't." It's like a person who is about to take a breath, and he dies before he can take a breath.

Dying but not dead, as the name suggests: is about to die, but actually not dead; it is the same as a person who looks like he is about to die, but insists on holding on and no one knows how long he can live.

So you can't tell which of the two is stronger and which is weaker? ?

Of course, from Xuanwu's perspective, "The Secret of Immortality" focuses on the transformation of life and death, and the principle of the exchange of yin and yang. The elders of the sect never told him to distinguish between strong and weak. The "guidance" of the Immortal Master obviously opened the door for him. A new idea.

Now Su Yan can only pray for one thing. Xuanwu must have some brains and don't let himself go crazy because of his casual words.

Seeing that the Immortal Lord was particularly friendly today, Gou Chen was eager to try and wanted to ask what was going on with the "cocoon"?
Unexpectedly, the diva took the initiative to point to the cocoon and asked, "What is this?"

This was the first thing Qilonghuang said after arriving here today. Her voice was ethereal, clean, and very pleasant to the ears.

Since it was his own woman who asked the question, Su Yan originally wanted to tell the truth, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell her the truth later. Now it is necessary to make up a version:
"A juvenile evil dragon from outside the territory was accidentally encountered while traveling in the void outside the territory. It attacked me and was captured by me."

"This kind of creature only succumbs to beings that are more powerful than itself. I originally wanted to kill it directly, but thinking about the lack of a transportation mount, I spared its life for the time being.

"Of course, the juvenile body is still a little weak, so I helped it advance to the next life form; now it is the normal process of the extraterrestrial evil dragon transforming into a young body. It will take some time, so let it transform slowly."

Although the Immortal Lord's tone was understated, everyone was in awe when they heard the words. Such legendary extraterrestrial monsters can be taken down at any time, and the opponent can break through at any time.

Among them, Xuanwu imagined a complete and tortuous story, including a powerful immortal master, an evil dragon who was arrogant at first and respectful at the other, subdued after a fierce battle, and given a promotion at random. The sight of it really makes people yearn for it!
Qilonghuang showed a little curiosity, "You must let me see it then."

Su Yan naturally agreed.

Xing Ming, Tian Tian and Guiren all looked like they were thinking about something.Next, Su Yan looked at Bai Hu and asked proactively: "In the Great Thousand World, has the demon clan made any unusual movements recently?"

Bai Hu shook his head slightly, "The Holy Demon is being taught by the respected elders of all the major tribes. Most of the demon tribes have no chance to meet the Holy Demon. Only various weird gossips are circulated."

"As for the war, it's out of the question. At present, apart from its own internal affairs, the demon clan's focus is on the little princess."

Su Yan nodded lightly, "In the past few days, you will go to Yuantong Realm and be responsible for contacting the monsters there. In the early stage, you will focus on investigation. You can show your identity as a monster and try not to conflict with them first. .”

Speaking of which, the [Instant Prison] is quite precious. It belongs to the kind of high-grade Taoist tools that are expected to be cultivated into top-grade Taoist tools. Of course, Su Yan would not just give it to Bai Hu for nothing.

Now, of course, he has to force this guy to do something for him, not to mention that Bai Hu himself said he would repay him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Hu immediately clasped his fists and agreed without any reluctance.

Obviously, he doesn't think this is a difficult task, because the upper limit of power in the small world is generally low. As a being in the seventh realm, he doesn't walk sideways when he gets there?
Seeing this, Youyue reminded, "Although Yuantongjie belongs to a small world, it belongs to the group with the highest power limit, and there have even been existences that broke into the three profound realms of life and death."

"Even if the probability of a seventh-level monk appearing is extremely low, usually the peak of the sixth-level is reached, but you should do less to gamble on the probability and be as cautious as possible."

Baihu knew that the Qinglong Inspector was the Immortal Lord's confidant, so of course he accepted it humbly.

Hearing this, Tian Tian also said: "They should also know the legend of the Twelve Golden Immortals. If they suspect a strong demon clan who appears out of nowhere, you can show your identity."

Bai Hu looked at the Immortal Master, who nodded slightly, and then he agreed.

"There is something else I want to report to the Immortal Master. My subordinates have found clues about the Suzaku Mask." Bai Hu took the initiative.

Su Yan immediately became interested and motioned for him to continue talking with her eyes.

"Most of the current birds of the Demon Clan are under the jurisdiction of the [Danxue Cave Heaven]. There is also a branch of fire-type birds in the Danxue Cave Heaven. It is said that they have the blood of the ancient divine bird [Bifang] in their bodies, and they are naturally good at fire. It’s a magical power.”

"A few months ago, when I inquired about the mask from a familiar demon friend, he told me that the Bifang clan seemed to be enshrining a mysterious mask passed down from their ancestors."

When Su Yan heard this, he remembered what You Yue had said before. She said that the Suzaku Inspector 4000 years ago was a strong demon race and a fire bird. Looking at it now, he was probably the descendant of what Bai Hu said. The "Bifang Clan".

"Is there any way to get it?" Su Yan asked directly.

Bai Hu hesitated for a moment, "I don't have much contact with the demon clan in the Dan Cave Cave, and I'm afraid the Bifang clan won't give up this kind of thing passed down by our ancestors easily."

Su Yan thought for a moment and didn't let Bai Hu come to ask for or trade, so as not to make the other party wary.

In fact, if the Bifang clan had a new successor, Su Yan would not mind having an extra Suzaku envoy in the Daitian Palace; he was afraid that someone would be like Xing Ming, who refused to come up to the meeting even though he had obtained the mask and recognized his master.

Or the big force itself can't find a suitable candidate, and simply refuses to hand it over, or even sell it.

After recording this matter for the time being, Su Yan just asked Bai Hu to continue to pay attention to the movements over there, and there was no need to act rashly in the short term.

In this way, the discussion of serious issues came to an end.

Su Yan knocked on the table with his finger, and then a green bamboo tube flew out from the back hall; what was even more magical was that a clear spring surrounded by jade railings suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

This clear spring is full of extremely pure spiritual energy. It is obviously a top-quality spiritual spring. The spring water even vaguely blends with the dense immortal energy in Daitian Palace~
Tian Tian and others were stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered something.

It is said that at the Taoist couple's ceremony not long ago, Qingcheng Palace gave Su Yan a [Woogen Immortal Spring] as a return gift. Could this be the spiritual spring?The Immortal Master can actually transplant it into this generation of heavenly palace out of thin air?

When they were surprised, Su Yan ordered Tian Tian to make a cup of tea for everyone.

Tian Tian was naturally familiar with doing this kind of thing. He found that the tea this time was still the same as in the early years, and even the bamboo tube was the same one he got back then.

But what makes him feel a little incredible is that the tea leaves have not changed, and at most the brewing water has been replaced by the best spiritual spring, but the "fairy tea" brewed this time is at least five or six times more powerful than before.

Even for monks in the realm of Tian Tian and Bai Hu, drinking a cup is very beneficial to nourishing the soul and improving cultivation.

Among them, Xing Ming and Qi Longhuang tasted this kind of thing for the first time. They were both quite surprised and looked at Su Yan even more differently.

Only now did Xing Ming understand why Su Yan's named return gift was a spiritual object; what Qilonghuang was thinking was, could this thing be mass-produced?If possible, can a batch of troops with sufficient combat effectiveness be quickly mass-produced?

Su Yan didn't give too much. With a wave of his hand, the tea leaves and spiritual springs disappeared. At the same time, he also drew a big cake for everyone, "The spiritual things you have tasted so far can only be regarded as the lowest grade." which type."

"Because Daitian Temple has not been restarted for a long time, various functions are in a state of slow recovery; when everything normalizes later, the effectiveness of the fairy tea will be increased to more than ten times the current level, and it will help enlighten enlightenment."

Su Yan only touched on what he said here. He didn't say: From now on, you must make more contributions to the organization, and then you can taste the best version of fairy tea.

Because everyone present was smart, he said this, and all the patrols understood and thanked the Immortal Lord for today's gift.

Among them, Qilonghuang's eyes looked at Su Yan even more intensely. Su Yan was a little overwhelmed by her sight, and even wondered if this woman wanted to eat him?

When it came to bartering, everyone began to trade magic weapons or materials. Among them, the things that Sky and the nobles brought from Yuantong Realm were quite popular because they were not from this realm.

However, those who have not received the exchange are not in a hurry, because they can also apply to go to Yuantong Realm, and then they can use "guidance" to exchange for what they want, which can be regarded as an alternative "payment for knowledge".
