As the empress who breaks off her engagement at the beginning, I choose the evil little black lotus.

Chapter 218 Looking at the moon from the water, picking all the empty flowers, the false self becomes empty, and the true self appears.

What Shen Xiaoxue didn't know was that what she was thinking at this time had all turned into her heart's voice, ringing in the ears of herself, her daughter, and her love rival in future generations.

Shen Xiaoxue in later generations: "Well, how should I put it? Although it is quite remarkable, it should be kept low-key."

Before, when Mengjing revealed the Demon King's voice, she thought that Mengjing's new job was good, but now that it was her turn, she felt a little embarrassed.

Mainly she was worried that she wasn't the only one hearing about it.

Su Xue: "..."

This, this is really beyond evaluation, it’s hard to put it into words.

After all, she is also a biological mother, so it is really difficult to evaluate her.

Liu Zhenzhen: It’s just a princess. I directly asked people to be the prince, and they didn’t care about it!

With the support of the vast amount of luck in the Shiyuan Realm, Shen Xiaoxue's cultivation is also advancing by leaps and bounds at a speed that other saints can't even imagine. In just forty-nine years, he has broken through from the first mental state of a saint to the third level of immortality. , only one step away from becoming a quasi-emperor.

This time she came to Little Kunlun. First, she counted the time. The jade toad fruit was almost ripe again, so she came to supervise her husband in taking the medicine.

Secondly, I also want to spend a few years with Su Yan before breaking through the retreat.

Calculating carefully, they have only seen each other once or twice in the past hundred years.

If she hadn't found a way to live forever for Su Yan, the future would still be long and she would never be willing to let it go!

She planned to wait until Su Yan finished taking the medicine, then take him away from here, return to Shiyuan Realm for a year, and reunite with her daughter.

However, no matter how many thoughts were in her heart, when she appeared above the sacred mountain and saw the severed jade toad tree, all the thoughts in her mind exploded into nothingness in an instant.

……

"..."

"Your Majesty, this is what happened that night. His Royal Highness must let the demon girl go no matter what. There is nothing we can do. We are incompetent!"

In the restricted area, beside the severed jade toad tree, the veteran of the Shenxiao Army was kneeling on the ground with all his body prostrated, not daring to raise his head to look at Shen Xiaoxue's expression.

"I have worked so hard to find the elixir, and you just throw it away like a worn-out shoe?"

Shen Xiaoxue's eyes were red, and she picked up the tree trunk with trembling hands, trying to reconnect the broken tree body, but the result was naturally in vain.

When the saint was angry, the order of the four seasons was reversed, and all the new spring leaves on the surrounding trees withered, rustled and withered.

This was a real bolt from the blue, a bolt of thunder that directly knocked Shen Xiaoxue from heaven to hell.

The ten thousand wonderful futures she imagined with Su Yan turned into dregs as the elixir broke.

What about Emperor Zheng? Aren’t you going to be widowed?

"hehehehehehehehe……"

"Su Yan! You have made a good disciple! What a good disciple!!!"

……

At the foot of Zhiyue Mountain, there is a small town wine shop.

A storyteller dressed as a middle-aged scribe was talking endlessly about the forbidden love between the fairy in white and her disciple.

All around, drinkers were talking in low voices.

"Hey, are you talking about Daozu and Ninth Girl?"

"Haha, there are already more than a dozen versions of this master-disciple love story. Aren't the original versions all about Dao Zu and Ninth Girl?"

"Hmph, this is under the jurisdiction of the Zhiyue Sect. If I switch to the Qingxuan Sect, this storyteller will probably be skinned and lit!"

"Isn't it?" Someone lowered his voice, "I just came from there, and a while ago, a few people had their tongues pulled out for discussing this matter in private!"

"It's ridiculous. If you can block the flow of a river, can you block the mouth of the people in the world?"

"Brother, what you said is very true. This matter must have been brought about by Old Ancestor Zhu himself!"

"Bang!" Someone put down his wine bowl in dissatisfaction: "Wait a minute, let's just arrange the chief priest and the witch, but even Shenxiao dares to arrange it!"

"Don't you know that Shen Xiao is the incarnation of God, and he has cut off all love and desire, so how can he have an affair with the chief priest? It's even more nonsense that he turned into a villain because of jealousy!"

The person who spoke was a young man, dressed in red. Looking at his clothes, he knew he was the priest of Shenxiao Palace.

If it were a few decades ago, Shenxiao Palace's status in this world was supreme, and no one would dare to make a mistake in front of them.

It's just that in the past few decades, with the rise of Immortalism, Shinto has become increasingly weak, and even these priests are gradually no longer accepted outside.

Most of these immortal cultivators do not respect Shenxiao.

Just like now, after the young man in red scolded him, a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage sneered and said: "Ancestor Dao has an affair with Shenxiao. This is what Zhu Laozu said personally. How can you compare to Zhu?" Ancestor knows better?"

"It is said that fifty years ago, at Tianzhiya, someone witnessed Shenxiao and Daozu walking hand in hand." Someone answered.

"I've also heard that fifty years ago, Shen Xiao came to the world for Dao Ancestor."

"It's possible that Shenxiao and Daozu are both visitors from outside the world, and it's not surprising that they were originally Taoist companions."

"Hehe, so our Dao Ancestor is really cheating on Hongxing? Should Shenxiao be renamed Luxiao?"

"I think it's not Daozu's fault. Shenxiao comes only once every fifty years. Who can withstand this? What's more, the ninth girl is still infatuated."

"You can't say that. No matter what, if Dao Ancestor is like this or that, he is betraying the goddess."

"I don't care, I will stand with Dao Ancestor! Just because he is Dao Ancestor!!!"

"You, you are so presumptuous!" The young red priest had veins popping on his forehead: "Wait, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"

"What kind of divine punishment? In all these years, I have only seen Dao Ancestor summon the thunder sea, but I have never seen any divine punishment." Someone said indifferently.

However, no one in the wine shop, including the red priest, could have imagined that the moment the man finished speaking, a thunderbolt and a huge thunder suddenly exploded in the clear sky. , fell from the sky, directly turning the wine shop and everyone in it except the young priest into ashes.

On the spot, only the young man was left, standing like a wooden stake on the white and clean land.

After a long time, he suddenly knelt down, crying, laughing and praying towards the sky: "Shenxiao, Shenxiao has really appeared!"

The thunder just now was indeed Shen Xiaoxue's handiwork.

In fact, this is not the first time she has issued "divine punishment" in the past few days.

However, this was the only one left alive.

On the day she arrived, she stayed in the restricted area for a whole day and a night, almost having her heart broken before she accepted the reality that the elixir had been destroyed and was irreparable.

When she walked out of the restricted area, as a saint in the immortal realm, her Tao body, which should have been perfect and flawless, showed signs of decline.

I wanted to question Su Yan directly, but after hearing that he was plotted against by the witch's apprentice and was in seclusion to heal his wounds, he finally endured it and did not kick open the door.

With nowhere to vent her anger, she pretended to have left the sacred mountain and headed west, searching for traces of Zhu Jiu along the way.

On the way, I kept hearing rumors about the forbidden love between master and apprentice, which was like adding more fuel to her furnace that was about to explode.

"Su Yan, I also want to believe you, but what you did, how can I trust you?" "She stole the skills, poisoned you, destroyed the elixir, but you still let her go! How do you explain it?"

Shen Xiaoxue looked coldly in the direction of the demon world: "I hope you can give me an explanation when I place her head in front of you!"

……

At this time, Zhu Jiu was practicing hard on a snow mountain in the demon world.

She has been sitting here for a year on the top of the 18,000-foot snow-capped mountain.

In the extreme cold that could freeze a king-level expert to death, she was wearing only a thin piece of clothing and even her feet were bare.

Shen Xiaoxue and Su Xue in later generations looked at this scene and seemed to understand the fallacy that she and Su Yan made up about being cold-hearted. At this time, just watching, they felt chills in their hearts. The parties involved were unaware of it.

They looked at the white snow falling on her long hair that was as white as snow. Not even a piece of it could be stained, and all of it slid down her long hair like a waterfall.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Su Xue seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed.

Soon Shen Xiaoxue and Liu Zhenzhen also noticed that there were snowflakes falling behind the girl's head, but they did not slide down the white hair, but passed through her body.

Yes, it was worn!

The snowflakes just passed through her delicate body without any obstacles and fell to the ground.

Starting from those long snow-white hair, her whole person seemed to be gradually becoming transparent.

"What's going on?" The three women were all confused.

At this moment, Zhu Jiu, who had been silent for a year, suddenly read a passage of scripture.

"Go to the extreme of emptiness, stay still and sincere, and let all things work together, and I will watch their recovery."

"Returning to the root means tranquility, and tranquility means returning to life."

"The return of life is called Chang, and the knowledge of Chang is called Ming..."

And above her head, a lovely Nascent Soul also appeared.

Then he saw the Nascent Soul trembling, looking down at his physical body, and Xuan even shook his head.

"The physical body is not mine, otherwise, where would the Nascent Soul come from?"

Xuan Ji pointed at himself again.

"The Nascent Soul is not me. Otherwise, where would I be before the Nascent Soul?"

Finally, he said: "My heart is not me either."

"The so-called human heart is just like a monkey climbing a tree or a mouse drilling a hole. It is just a wooden mechanism, but you don't know who the protagonist is behind it. Who can be your own master?"

"Today, I, Zhu Jiu, stand out from the water and look at the moon. I pick all the empty flowers. My false self becomes empty and my true self appears."

In the shocked eyes of Shen Xiaoxue and the others, they saw two air balls, one white and one black, suddenly appearing in front of the Nascent Soul.

The white air mass is the most extreme white in the world. Even the color of snow cannot match it.

White seems to be stained by everything in the world, but it also seems impossible to be stained by anything.

The black air mass was opposite, turbid and chaotic.

"Is this what it is? Real spirits and virtual spirits!" Liu Zhenzhen murmured in her heart. Even though her heart was as calm as water, she could not help but feel ripples at this moment.

True spirits and virtual spirits involve the very foundation of life of all living beings, and have always been areas that can only be touched by the Emperor realm.

Although, the saint's clone method is an application of the true spirit.

But it was just a Chaos Treasure Technique, which was faked according to the law and could not see the true spirit.

And this girl actually allowed the true spirit to appear with only her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, which is equivalent to the sub-holy realm!

"Su Yan said that the world rules here are biased towards the idealistic side, which is different from our world system."

"In our place, only the sub-sages can cut off their past lives, the saints can paint their mental images, the quasi-emperors can shatter the void, and the emperors can see the true spirit. But here, perhaps the realm of the soul has been reached, and all these can be advanced." Liu Zhenzhen thoughtfully said muttered to himself.

"Could this be the soul that Master once mentioned, white is the soul and black is the soul." Nascent Soul murmured.

Liu Zhenzhen: "Does she call the real spirit and the virtual spirit soul and soul?"

Zhu Jiu: "Part of my soul comes from me. It's like the silk threads tied to a puppet. I can use them to control me when I think about it."

"And if I want to get rid of this control, then I have to extract my soul and refine my soul."

"Master, you once told me the story of taking out the bones to return to my father, and cutting off the flesh to return to my mother. If this deity is equal to my parents, then all I have to do if I want to repay the cause and effect is to take out my soul and return it to heaven."

Shen Xiaoxue and the three girls looked at this scene, all speechless.

The clone of Zhu Jiu actually wants to get rid of the control of his original self. Isn't this really fantastic?

However, the next moment, they saw Zhu Jiu raise a demonic sail shrouded in black mist and filled with ghostly aura.

This is the Soul Refining Sail.

In the world of immortality, those demonic monks who destroy human nature are often used to sacrifice and refining souls.

However, Zhu Jiu sacrificed her today, but it was himself who wanted to practice, which can be regarded as an unprecedented achievement.

Then Shen Xiaoxue and the others saw Zhu Jiu's Yuanying plunge into the black sail with the white and black true spirit and virtual spirit.

"Menstrual blood is turned into charcoal, and the living soul is turned into an embryo. Life is turned into merit, burned!"

Following the girl's cooing cry, blue flames suddenly ignited on the black soul-refining sail.

Shen Xiaoxue and the others could see that as the blue fire burned, wisps of gray-white mist steamed up.

Those were the strands of true spirit that were refined from her Nascent Soul, mixed with a little bit of virtual spirit.

At this time, they were no longer lingering around Zhu Jiu as before, but turned into long wisps of smoke, floating towards the end of the sky.

"I didn't expect this to work. Using this soul-refining sail to refine yourself, can the clone really cut off the cause and effect between the clone and the main body?" Shen Xiaoxue looked at the long smoke rising continuously, and the first thought in her heart was For a moment, I thought that it was indeed the little beggar, could he also use this method to cut off the cause and effect with the Demon Lord?

Haha, just kidding.

How can the little beggar who is the deity be compared to the demon king who is the deity?

There is at least a whole world difference between the two, right?

Not only that, the little beggar as a clone is not as good as Zhu Jiu as a clone.

Apart from anything else, Little Beggar couldn't even touch the edge of the true spirit before the Emperor Realm.

And there is absolutely no way she can become emperor.

Therefore, she can only be the devil's marionette for the rest of her life!

Shen Xiaoxue subconsciously did not want to separate Gu Nanyi from the Demon Lord.

If they were treated as two independent entities, how could she put all the debts owed by the Demon Lord on that little beggar's head.

She has already recorded countless pages in this account book, and she is just waiting to show it to Su Yan.

Don't even think about defaulting on your debt, little beggar!

You have to admit it whether you admit it or not! !
