The Mythical Demon Lord

Chapter 239 The Rise of the Empress
In a small town in Nanling, in a restaurant called Ping'an, a little girl dressed exquisitely was sitting at the door with a smile on her face, shouting loudly.

"Someone has adopted the little girl."

On the street, people looked at the little girl outside the restaurant and smiled.

The restaurant was now packed with people, and the people in the kitchen were too busy to handle it.

Zhong Heng stood on the balcony of the attic, silently looking down at this poor town, and an unprecedented sense of relief rose in his heart.

The sun is shining brightly, and everything in the small town is so beautiful.

"I finally understand why the strongest people will get tired of fighting in the end." Zhong Heng murmured softly, his white hair shining brightly in the sun.

He was also tired of fighting and killing, but once he embarked on this path, he was destined not to stop.

Although everything is stable now, what about the future?
What about the Holy Ruins Era?
The horrific battles that continued for days on end even made him feel suffocated.

That was not a war that lasted for millions of years, but rather fighting and war that lasted for tens of millions of years, hundreds of millions of years, and several epochs.

As for why they wanted to adopt a little girl, it was naturally to provide an extra layer of security.

At the same time, he also wanted to see what would happen if there was one more person in little Nannan’s childhood.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and the words that the empress said to him at that time emerged in his mind.

He seemed to understand something.

However, Zhong Heng did not intend to teach Xiao Nannan how to practice. He now only had one identity, that is, Xiao Nannan's guardian, or her boss.

There is no salary, only food and accommodation are provided.

The little girl, with her hair in two braids, stood at the door of the store and hummed loudly, her bright autumn eyes looking towards the end of the road from time to time.

That was where her brother and the immortal left.

At the same time, there is also a teleportation array there.

In the next few months, when little Nannan was bored, she would go to the fountain behind the restaurant to play with paper boats. The paper boats were wrinkled, but for little Nannan, they were the best toys.

There was a broken bronze mask hanging around her waist.

The only toys she and his brother had were a crumpled folded paper boat and a bronze mask.

The mask is the only toy that still looks good to them and she cherishes it very much.

Almost no one in Ping'an Town could see Zhong Heng. Except for Xiao Nannan, no one could see his face and figure clearly.

Anyone who has ever seen this person will forget him.

Even if Xiao Nannan describes it, people will create an image in their own imagination.

If Zhong Heng hadn't existed, perhaps Xiao Nannan's life would have been even more difficult.

In the Nine Tribulations Formation, Zhong Heng had also experienced this kind of tribulation many times.

But every time they would die unexpectedly, starve to death, freeze to death, be trafficked, or be killed by various accidents.

To survive, you need not only perseverance but also luck.

In the following years, little Nana always greeted guests at the door. She would appear at the door after dinner, sit on the threshold, and look into the distance, her eyes looking at the direction her brother left with anticipation.

She waited and waited, year after year, staying at the place where they separated, hoping for his return, but after waiting for a long time, she never saw her brother's return.

The little girl grew up to be more and more beautiful. Many young men in the town came to propose marriage to her, but without exception, they were all rejected.

She is already seventeen years old, tall and slender, with a stunningly beautiful and extraordinary appearance.

But she still sat on the doorstep, looking into the distance, just like she did when she was a child.

For more than ten years, Zhong Heng has been teaching little Nannan all kinds of knowledge every day, making her a talented woman in the town.

Little Nannan also realized that the boss who adopted her was no simple person.

Twelve years have passed, and the boss's appearance has not changed, as if time has lost its effect on him.

And it's getting more and more mysterious.

A few days later, Nannan went out to a restaurant to play and met an old monk who was seriously ill and dying on the roadside. She got some simple tips on cultivation from the old monk.

It was a very simple method, and it was a very common one. In the world of cultivating immortals, it was estimated that no one would take that crude formula seriously.

But the little girl felt like she had found a treasure.

When I returned to the hotel that night, I told Zhong Heng the good news.

She said she also wanted to embark on the path of cultivation.

Inside the pavilion, Zhong Heng looked at the girl who brought disaster to the country and the people, and excitedly told him about spiritual practice.

There was no expression on his face, he just said calmly: "Practice, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with yourself."

"Once you enter the world of immortal cultivation, you can never quit."

"You may become enemies all over the world, or you may die at the hands of others."

"You will also learn a truth that will make you despair."

Zhong Heng spoke calmly, as if he was narrating a trivial matter. He did not sympathize with the poor little girl's experience.

Because he had experienced a lot in the Nine Tribulations Formation, although he felt the same way, he did not have any emotional fluctuations. Xiao Nannan was shocked. This was also the first time she heard about cultivating immortals from Zhong Heng.

She keenly caught Zhong Heng's last words.

What would be the despairing truth?

Little Nannan's heart sank, as if she had guessed something.

His breathing became a little rapid, and he said in a hoarse voice: "What truth makes me despair?"

Although there are already speculations in my mind.

The person she has been waiting for for many years may no longer be with us, or this may have shocked the entire world of immortal cultivation.

But he never came back to see her.

"You may have guessed it, but you don't want to believe it." Zhong Heng did not tell the truth.

Instead, let the little girl face everything on her own.

"You've grown up, maybe it's time to go out for a walk." His tone was still flat, without much fluctuation.

For him, more than ten years was just a matter of squinting his eyes.

But for the growing girl, it was an unforgettable experience.

The boss would teach her advanced knowledge, tell her poems and scriptures created by the ancients, and various profound principles that were difficult to understand.

"Boss, are you going to kick me out?" Little Nannan's eyes were slightly red, her delicate face was pale, and she looked pitiful.

The boss is her second closest person.

Even though he was very cold towards her, he would eventually become dependent on her after being with her for more than ten years.

Zhong Heng nodded slightly, then shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to drive you away, but this place can't hold you."

"Perhaps your brother has become famous in the outside world, or perhaps he is being hunted all over the world and dares not come back to see you."

"But, one day you will leave town and walk your own path."

He did not tell Xiao Nannan the truth directly.

Even if I said it, what would it matter?
It’s actually the same whether you say it or not.

The empress will still be the empress.

Nannan was silent. She was wearing a white fairy dress and standing in the pavilion. Her long black hair swayed gently in the breeze. She looked at the calm man with a dull look in her eyes.

"Boss, can you tell me my name?" Nannan suddenly said.

Zhong Heng was stunned, and did not say his name, but said: "'When you step into the starry sky one day and come to the glorious ancient road of the human race, perhaps you will know who I am.'

"Is the boss famous?" Nannan looked at Zhong Heng with puzzled eyes.

"It's okay." Zhong Heng replied perfunctorily. No matter how famous he is, he can't be as famous as you.

The ruthless emperor.

For the next seven days, after Nannan finished handling all the affairs in the town, she stayed by Zhong Heng's side.

At the same time, she also figured out different things from the superficial practice mantras.

On the day of departure, little girl successfully opened up the sea of ​​suffering.

When she left Ping An Hotel and walked out of the city gate, she looked back.

Where is the Ping An Hotel?
It has become a place selling breakfast and has also been renamed.

Acacia Breakfast Shop.

The waiter is still the same waiter, but the boss is not the same boss.

Little Nannan's heart trembled, she bit her lip, and embarked on a road of no return.

Zhong Heng had been watching the Empress's normal state in the dark.

She first figured out different meanings from the crude formulas. She did not have a strong root bone, nor did she possess a special physique. Those legendary divine bodies, domineering bodies, and Taoist fetuses were too far away from her.

But she never felt that she was inferior to others. She could always comprehend different things from ordinary methods.

Along the way, she groped her way forward on her own, and as her strength gradually grew, she continued to collect various methods of cultivation, read a large number of incomplete classics, and gradually perfected her own method.

She walked out of the small town of Nanling, and experienced countless life-and-death battles, and many battles and plots among monks along the way.

Nannan became stronger and stronger, and when she was thirty years old, she successfully broke through to the Dragon Transformation Realm. During this period, she tracked down and learned that the people who took her brother away were from a place called Yuhua Divine Dynasty.

She remembered this most powerful dynasty that claimed to rule the world.

Zhong Heng watched the empress's rise all the way, from a weak girl to a young girl, and from a young girl to a young adult.

She walked out of Nanling and continued to fight with various geniuses.

Nannan quickly rose and became stronger, suppressing all opponents of the same level and defeating all enemies with her mortal body. The domineering body, the immortal body, the divine body, and the Taoist fetus were all unable to withstand her mortal body.

A young woman in white rose up in the shortest time and illuminated the entire era, shining brightly.
