"Money?" What money? The old man was completely confused.
But neither the High Priest nor Ma Ruyun brought up the matter again. Under Qu Jianying's persuasion, the old man had to suppress his curiosity and didn't press further.
The High Priest said seriously, "The Tianwu Continent has just undergone a great battle. The Dragon Maiden has been slain, and the Sea Demon clan has been almost wiped out by Long Chen."
Now, only one Demon Emperor remains. Because he hooked the Ling Tian Bracelet, his lifespan has greatly shortened and his realm has plummeted. Even the late Fusion Heaven realm may struggle to stabilize, so it's no longer a concern.
However, they must remain vigilant and send people to closely monitor the Sea Demon Clan's movements. If the Demon Emperor is found, it is best to kill him to eliminate future trouble. Qu
Jianying nodded and said, "I have already sent people to keep watch. If I can find out any movements of the Sea Demon clan, I will definitely report to you." The
High Priest looked at Lord Le Si and asked, "Is Nanhaiqin still showing no signs of acknowledging her master?" "
Lord Le Si shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but Nanhai Qin has never taken the initiative to communicate with Ziyan."
Although Ziyan could use part of the Nanhai Zither's power, it still seemed to be in a state of slumber, which was truly puzzling. "
What about the Beiyuan Sword?" The High Priest asked.
Master Tianyu said, "After Zhiqiu advanced to the Fusion Heaven stage, she can finally communicate with the Beiyuan Sword. Yesterday, Zhiqiu began her closed-door cultivation, which should be the beginning of the master recognition process." The
High Priest pondered, "The Western Desert Axe took Aman with him, but I don't know where he went. I suspect it's desperately trying to recover."
The Central State Cauldron recognized Mo Nian as its master, but seemed dissatisfied with Mo Nian, and it was unclear whether this master would be replaced.
The Northern Source Sword has just begun to recognize its master and will need some time. Logically, Nanhai Qin suffered the least injuries in that battle back then and should have been able to recognize it as soon as possible. Why was it delaying to accept it? Are you still looking for a better owner? For
a moment, everyone turned to Lord Le. He shook his head and said, "The Nanhai Qin once traveled the world as a seven-string Sea-Calming Qin. No one knows the reason for this. Back then, the Nanhai Qin and Ziyan developed a connection and told her that her name was actually the Seven-String Sea-Calming Qin, not the Nanhai Qin."
Although the Nanhai Qin has always been in our Miaole Immortal Palace, we treat it with utmost respect, never daring to be rude or ask too many questions. The Nanhai Qin refuses to acknowledge its master, perhaps it has its own reasons. "
The High Priest didn't dwell on the issue further and continued, "Now that all four supreme artifacts have emerged, only the Eastern Wilderness Bell has yet to reveal itself."
If the Eastern Wilderness Bell appears, gathering five divine artifacts, even when facing powerful external enemies, we should still have a great chance of winning. The key now lies with the Eastern Wilderness Bell. "
But where is the Eastern Wilderness Bell?" After all these years, I had no clue at all. "Someone said helplessly.
The High Priest said, "If all four supreme artifacts have completed their mastery recognition and combined their power, we should be able to deduce the location of the Eastern Wilderness Bell. Now, only Ziyan is left." Seeing
everyone looking at him, Lord Le quickly said, "When I return, I will definitely urge Ziyan to do everything possible to help her recognize her as her master." After
finishing the story about Ziyan, the High Priest explained some strategic plans, and everyone left one after another. Only the High Priest, Master Tianyu, the old man, and Qu Jianying remained in the main hall.
"She didn't tell the truth." Tianyu Zhenren said.
The old man and Qu Jianying were startled; they guessed who Tianyu Zhenren was referring to, because as everyone left, Tianyu Zhenren had been staring intently at Lord Lesi's back.
The High Priest nodded and said, "The Miaole Immortal Palace has a long history, tracing back to the ancient immortal era.
As members of the Tianwu Continent, they share honor and disgrace, yet the Miaole Immortal Palace has always remained lukewarm.
In the past, they could be described as aloof and aloof, indifferent to worldly affairs, but this time, their attitude remained the same, which is somewhat intriguing. Miaole
Immortal Palace was indifferent to the affairs of the Tianwu Continent, seemingly unconcerned about their own life and death.
Even if they cultivate deeply and enjoy the Dao, seeing through the mundane world, when it comes to the rise and fall of inheritance, honor and disgrace, such indifference is wrong.
"Guess if the Miaole Immortal Palace is secretly tampering with it, preventing Nanhai Qin from recognizing her as its master?" Master Tianyu probed.
The High Priest shook his head: "That's unlikely. Among the four supreme artifacts, the South Sea Zither currently has the best-preserved power, and no one can interfere with it." "
Then why would you refuse to acknowledge your master for so long?" Master Tianyu said helplessly. If Nanhai Qin cannot recognize its master and cannot find the Eastern Wilderness Bell, the chances of victory in this battle will be greatly reduced.
"I'm afraid only Nanhai Qin herself knows. Later, find an opportunity to talk to Long Chen and have him guard against Lord Le." The High Priest said to the old man and Qu Jianying.
"Could it be that ..." The old man and Qu Jianying's hearts raced wildly. What problem was there that troubled Lord Lesi?
"One must never harbor ill intentions, but must be cautious. Just be careful—there's always no harm."
During this period, you two will be busy. The power to unify the Tianwu Continent depends on you.
I'm going back to worship the Wine God. I probably can't help you much during this time, so I'll be counting on you. The High Priest said.
The old man and Qu Jianying hurriedly saw the High Priest off. The High Priest left, and so did Master Tianyu. The great battle was about to break out, and she needed to return to prepare.
While the old man and Qu Jianying were busy, Long Chen was still asleep, and in his sleep, he felt himself dreaming nonstop.
Countless images flashed through his mind—all related to Yun Shang, Qing Xu, Mo Li, Han Wei, and Emperor Ziyang. There were scenes of their lonely childhood, their adult attained emperors strolling through the mortal world, and also scenes of guarding the Tianwu Continent, fiercely battling otherworldly powerhouses, their blood staining the nine heavens.
In just three days, countless images flashed through Long Chen's mind, somewhat chaotic and incoherent. He knew these were the lifelong experiences of great emperors.
All five great emperors had similar experiences. Their childhoods were marked by misfortune, enduring the bitterness of life, stepping over countless enemy corpses, and moving forward with head held high.
The only difference is that when the Great Emperors embark on the path of cultivation and rise powerfully, they shine brilliantly, their bearing unmatched and their elegance overwhelming, captivating all beings and commanding the submission of all races.
As for Long Chen, no matter how sharp he appeared, he was surrounded by countless formidable enemies. No one submitted to him, and he could only endlessly kill.
"Great Emperor, truly Great Emperor. You have been hurt ninety-nine times. If you are given one more chance, you will still embrace this world with your own hearts, still believing it is beautiful."
Long Chen suddenly smiled. After such a long period of sleep, he seemed to understand what it meant to have the sentiment of an emperor.
"Huh?" What is this? cinnabar ... Fang? "
Suddenly, Long Chen noticed something in his soul memory that had appeared at some point, and he sat up in an instant, causing Meng Qi and the others guarding beside him to cry out in surprise.
