Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#959 - Reality and Illusion
When Jun Wu Xie came out of Jing Ya's room, the sky was already nearing dusk.
The environment of heaven and earth was now extremely good, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful, especially as dusk approached.
The golden sunlight was tinged with red, the afterglow brilliant, adorning the earth, as if draping heaven and earth in a robe of rosy clouds.
A gentle breeze stirred, and the peach trees outside the small courtyard on the front of Sect King Mountain swayed gently, scattering pink and white peach blossoms in the wind, carrying a faint floral fragrance that refreshed the heart and lungs.
Under the setting sun, Jun Wu Xie stood in front of the small courtyard, watching the peach blossoms dance in the peach forest, his thoughts gradually drifting away, flying to the beautiful bygone days, that warm and tender time.
He seemed to see Yao Er carrying a flower basket, picking peach blossoms in the peach forest, graceful as a celestial being, his eyes gradually becoming blurred.
"Yao Er, brother is about to go to the Upper Realm. When I get to that world, brother will be able to find the heaven and earth treasures to repair your soul and reshape your body. It's been so many years, you must have waited very hard. Without you by my side, brother's heart feels like it's missing a piece. You, ah, you can never be so silly again..."
He murmured to himself, took out a jar of peach blossom wine, cracked open the seal and took a sip. The sweet and mellow wine entered his throat, still that familiar taste that he missed endlessly.
That was the taste that belonged to Yao Er.
This taste fascinated him, made him unable to extricate himself, intoxicated him, and pained him.
"Soon, it will be soon..."
His hand slowly clenched, his anticipation for the future infinitely magnified at this moment, stirring his emotions and causing his body to tremble slightly.
"When Yao Er has a body, brother will never let you leave my side again, no matter where I go, brother will take you with me, to the ends of the earth, and I will never let go of your hand again..."
He muttered to himself.
"Wu Xie brother, eat the medicinal paste..."
"Wu Xie brother, the wild vegetable paste is so delicious..."
"Wu Xie brother, the white flour buns are so delicious, this is the best, the very best thing Yao Er has ever eaten..."
...
Past events flashed before his eyes, his heart felt as if it were being stabbed by a knife, painful and bitter.
Those past events, the past events that belonged to him and Yao Er, were so unforgettable.
At this moment, Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao returned. Before they reached Sect King Mountain, they saw the figure standing in front of the peach forest in the small courtyard from afar.
They stopped in their tracks at the same time, just staring at him from afar.
"Husband is thinking about Yue Yao sister again."
Tears welled up in Ji Yinlan's eyes, and the past came to mind. She also could not forget that infatuated woman, who resolutely jumped off the city wall and ran towards Jun Wu Xie, allowing the sharp war spear to pierce her heart.
She ran towards him like that, without hesitation, with a smile on her face, and threw herself into his arms, clinging tightly to him. As if that moment was eternity.
It was also at that moment that she told herself that she would be as brave as Yao Er in this life.
Su Xiaoxiao remained silent, with glistening tears in her eyes as well.
She thought of her experiences over the years.
Since she met Jun Wu Xie, she had been so attached to him.
In those years, she really, really liked him, and wanted to be by his side every day.
Sometimes, in order to attract his attention, she did a lot of willful things.
Later, when the Dao Fruit awakened, she began to panic, began to be afraid, afraid that one day she would be indifferent to him.
As a result, that day really came.
She integrated the memories of the Dao Fruit, and her state of mind was affected, and she could not help but want to keep a distance from him.
But every time she deliberately kept a distance, the depths of her heart were so uncomfortable, as if cut by a knife.
Until that day, when she learned that he had died in the Dark Continent, she collapsed. The emotions in her heart that had been suppressed by the thoughts of her previous life erupted like a mountain torrent, completely dominating her will, allowing her to completely find herself, a self that she liked, a true self that dared to pursue the love in her heart.
She felt very uncomfortable and very guilty.
She knew that she was far inferior to Sister Yue Yao, and even inferior to every woman around him.
She had wavered, she had wanted to leave him, she had been indifferent to him.
Whenever she thought of these things, she had a deep sense of betrayal, and this sense of betrayal had been缠绕her,刻刻如刀子剜心.
The setting sun gradually fell down the hillside, the sky and earth darkened, the bright full moon hung in the sky, and the sound of insects and frogs gradually appeared in the wilderness.
In front of the peach forest in the small courtyard of Sect King Mountain, Jun Wu Xie carefully put away the peach blossom wine, adjusted his mood, wiped away the wetness from the corners of his eyes, and turned back to the courtyard.
At this time, Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao came from afar and landed in front of him.
"Husband."
"Wu Xie brother."
They stepped forward at the same time, each holding one of his arms, quietly leaning on his shoulders.
"Yinlan, is the Hall of Valor built?"
"Yes, it's all built, and the magic circle has also been set up. We have protected the spirits of the fallen heroes in the Hall of Valor."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, it's just what I should do."
"Let's go, come with me to the Hall of Valor. I have brought back the missing souls of the fallen heroes."
Jun Wu Xie, Ji Yinlan, and Su Xiaoxiao headed towards the imperial capital.
In a scenic area of the imperial capital, filled with righteousness, there were countless graves, with countless tombstones standing neatly.
These graves and tombstones were very clean, spotless, and people came to clean them every day, placing many white and yellow chrysanthemums in front of the graves.
This was originally the Martyrs' Cemetery of the Great Zhou, but now it has become the Martyrs' Cemetery of the entire Lower Realm.
A large number of Xuanjia troops were stationed near the cemetery, guarding the tombs of the heroic martyrs at all times.
Although in the current Lower Realm, no one would desecrate the heroic martyrs, and no one would dare to do so, there were still troops stationed here to prevent unforeseen circumstances.
In the Martyrs' Cemetery, there was an area where a magnificent, imposing blue stone palace stood, very huge.
Above the gate of the palace were engraved three extremely eye-catching Xuanjin characters—Hall of Valor!
Jun Wu Xie came to the front of the palace gate, his body surrounded by runes, and his body gradually disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared inside the Hall of Valor.
There were space array patterns blessed inside, forming their own universe, quite vast, sculpting an endless number of heroic statues, neatly arranged, like an army ready to go, their momentum soaring to the sky.
Countless soul auras permeated, sleeping in this great hall space.
Jun Wu Xie released all the souls of the fallen heroes from the cave.
Some of them were very sluggish. Due to the incompleteness of their souls, they had all lost the memories of their lives.
But they had their own instincts. Coming to this Hall of Valor, each soul flew to a different area, attracted by the other half of their soul, and involuntarily merged.
"Soldiers, rest well here. When you are completely integrated, your souls are restored, and the memories of your lives can be gradually restored, you can cultivate. In the future, if you are willing to follow me again, then I will take you to continue the glory, conquer the darkness, clean up the universe, and create an eternal and brilliant immortal flourishing age!"
He stood in front of the endless statues of soldiers in the Hall of Valor for a long time.
When he walked out of the hall, the sky was completely dark.
He took Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao to the martyrs' tombs, paid his respects, and then left, heading towards the outside of the city.
On the vast and boundless plain, he opened the cave and released all the souls inside.
There were too many of these souls. After they were released, they quickly filled the area of tens of thousands of miles, densely packed with soul bodies.
"The human world, this is the aura of the human world, the familiar taste, we have returned to the human world!"
After those souls came out, looking at this world, even though it was in the dark night, the night wind was blowing, slightly cool, but they still felt the warmth, the warmth that belonged to the human world.
"Thank you for your great kindness!"
They were tearful and excited, all kneeling on the ground and deeply kowtowing to the figure in the sky that was brighter than the scorching sun, which could be seen clearly even across endless distances, as if it were right in front of them.
"Get up, now I have brought you back to the human world. From now on, under the premise of abiding by the laws of my Immortal Execution Dynasty, you can live freely."
"Because there are too many of you, you can only temporarily build some simple houses to live in. In the coming days, people will come to build cities, and at that time you will cooperate with each other to build your own homes together."
"Some things, I will say first. Now in this world, the entire world is within the jurisdiction of my Immortal Execution Dynasty. Since you have returned and live here, you are also considered children of my Immortal Execution Dynasty. One of the laws of my Immortal Execution Dynasty is to strictly prohibit the strong from bullying the weak. Soon there will be troops patrolling the area where you live to maintain law and order. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished!"
"We will abide by the laws of the dynasty and will never cause you trouble!"
"That's very good. If there is no conflict in the world, everyone can be healthy, and this is the real prosperous age. The environment of this world is excellent, and resources are not lacking. You can all cultivate."
"Okay, you can arrange things for yourselves for the time being. Except for the Dragon Tomb Mountain Range, which is too dangerous, do not enter it at will. You can freely choose the rest of the area as a living area. At that time, the people sent by the dynasty will build cities according to the major areas where you are concentrated."
After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he turned and left with Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao.
"Farewell, benefactor!"
Ji Yinlan stopped, turned around, and said: "In the future, you don't have to call him benefactor anymore. He is the belief of all living beings in the Lower Realm. The world respects him as Lord Jun!"
"Farewell, Lord Jun!"
Those souls knelt down to see him off.
Back at Mount Zongwang, Jun Wuxie looked at Ji Yinlan and said, “The number of souls is astonishing, and maintaining order will be a problem. You need to issue an edict as soon as possible, ordering the strong individuals from various forces to send people to be stationed there, assisting the Xuanjia Army in maintaining stability. It is absolutely imperative that this does not disrupt the harmony of my Emperor Beginning Star Region. I don't want that place to become a land of chaotic order.”
“Husband, rest assured, Yinlan knows what to do. You don't need to worry about these things. I will manage the order there well.”
“Yes, in the future, our dynasty's population will continue to grow, and we will need to establish more low, medium, and high-level academies. These need to keep up, as well as the establishment of civilized thought and the establishment of faith. I hope that the entire dynasty will always be united. Pay attention, in the future, if anyone undermines faith or uses various means to divide social harmony, such things must be dealt with severely once discovered. Those with minor offenses will be expelled from the Emperor Beginning Star Region, and those with serious offenses will be killed without exception!”
“Husband is worried about… … ”
“I am worried that the creatures from the Upper Realm and the Dark Universe will secretly divide us in order to deal with the dynasty. If we don't pay attention to it, such a large dynasty will eventually fall apart.”
“Understood, this is indeed something we must guard against. Conspiracies and tricks are the most terrifying. After all, our dynasty now encompasses all races of the entire universe, and the base number is too large. Once a problem occurs, it will be very difficult to handle. Before the husband leaves, it is best to gather all the high-level officials and give them a good lecture. Only your words can penetrate their hearts and make them absolutely obey from the depths of their hearts. Even, your words are like faith to them.”
“I will. If I don't handle the affairs of the Lower Realm properly and plan the future development of the dynasty, how can I leave with peace of mind? Now, let's go to the ancient ancestral hall to help Uncle Bird and my teacher restore their physical bodies, then go and formulate the future plan for the dynasty, and then I should leave… …”
Hearing him say this, Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao involuntarily tightened their grip on his hands.
“I will come back to see you when I have time in the future.”
He comforted them like this, able to feel the strong reluctance and upcoming parting in their hearts.
Arriving at the ancient ancestral hall, the hall door was still so dilapidated, and the broken door bolt hung on the hall door, looking quite shabby.
This seemed out of place with the current glory of the sect.
Being simple and old-fashioned was fine, but this was too dilapidated.
Jun Wuxie was speechless. Old Man Jiu was nostalgic and insisted on maintaining the original flavor, and was unwilling to change it no matter what. The hall door was leaking wind, and the main hall was also leaking water.
Fortunately, the area where Uncle Bird and his teacher's physical bodies were located did not leak water, otherwise their physical bodies would have been soaked.
“Teacher.”
Jun Wuxie led Ji Yinlan and Su Xiaoxiao towards the deepest part of the hall.
Hearing this, He Qingyun, who was sitting in front of the crystal coffin, turned her head and immediately got up to greet them. Seeing Ji Yinlan, her eyes lit up, “Wuxie, who is this?”
She was both surprised and delighted. The women beside Wuxie were all so beautiful, and earthly beauty was not enough to describe them.
She had never seen such beautiful women before, but now that she had returned, she saw so many of them, each with an extraordinary relationship with Wuxie, either his confidantes, his junior sisters, or his disciples. She felt that her eyes were almost dazzled by the beauty.
“Teacher, this is Ji Yinlan, my imperial concubine, who now manages the dynasty and is also the empress of the dynasty.”
“Ah?” He Qingyun was shocked and hurriedly wanted to perform a bowing ceremony, which scared Ji Yinlan to quickly step forward to help her up, and said, “Teacher, you can't do this. Although Yinlan is the master of the dynasty, she is first and foremost the husband's woman and your junior. Besides, the highest authority in this dynasty is the husband, not Yinlan.”
“Ah?” He Qingyun looked at Ji Yinlan blankly, and then looked at Jun Wuxie, and said, “I don't understand, what exactly is going on?”
“Teacher, the matter is like this. The predecessor of the Zhuxian Dynasty was the Great Zhou Dynasty. I was a princess of the Great Zhou back then. The Great Zhou suffered a disaster that destroyed the country. It was the husband who turned the tide by himself and defeated the 80 million army of the Western Forest outside the capital. From that time on, the Great Zhou up and down respected him as Lord Jun and regarded him as their faith.”
“Later, the husband launched the Great Zhou upgrade plan, turning the weak Great Zhou into the Zhuxian Dynasty. More than a year ago, he led the myriad races of the starry sky to resist the dark invasion, which led to the unprecedented prosperity of today. He has too many things to do and has no time to pay attention to the trivial matters of the dynasty, so Yinlan came to be the superficial master of the dynasty to share his worries.”
He Qingyun stared blankly at Jun Wuxie.
She knew that his status was extraordinary and his strength was incomparably powerful, but she did not expect him to be so strong, resisting an army of 80 million people alone, and leading the myriad races to resist the dark invasion… …
“Therefore, teacher, just treat Yinlan as a junior in the future. If you salute Yinlan or are restrained in front of Yinlan, the husband will be angry with me, so please don't embarrass Yinlan, okay?”
“This… …”
“Teacher, Yinlan is right, she is just a junior in front of you.”
Jun Wuxie said with a smile.
He Qingyun came back to her senses, glared at him, and said reproachfully: “Seeing how afraid Yinlan is of you, you must have bullied her a lot! You are not allowed to bully Yinlan in the future. You should cherish such a beautiful wife! ”
“Cough, this… … Teacher is right, this disciple will definitely treat her well in the future.”
Jun Wuxie smiled awkwardly.
Ji Yinlan's face was slightly red, revealing a bit of shyness and joy, and Su Xiaoxiao smiled beside her.
“Look at how proud you are. You must know how to cherish her. Whether it's Yinlan or Xiaoxiao, what good girls they are, they are all devoted to you. You can't let them be wronged.”
“Cough, teacher's teachings are correct. That, Xiaoxiao, let's begin.”
Jun Wuxie quickly stepped forward a few steps and walked to the front of the crystal coffin.
“How much source blood essence do you need?”
He asked Su Xiaoxiao.
“If it is one drop of source blood essence, it should be enough. Just drip it on the teacher or Uncle Bird's body, and then leave the rest to me.”
Jun Wuxie nodded immediately, and immediately condensed two drops of source blood essence and dripped them on the teacher's body.
“Brother Wuxie, don't need that much!”
Su Xiaoxiao was a little anxious. Source blood essence was extremely precious, and it was difficult to replenish it once it was lost. Even if Jun Wuxie recovered extremely strongly, it would be a very dangerous thing, let alone Uncle Bird who also needed it.
“It's okay, a little more is more secure.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed, took out the Flesh Ganoderma, refined it into life essence, cast the Life Divine Art, and injected Jun Wuxie's source blood essence into He Qingyun's body to activate her source of life.
At the same time, the essence of the Flesh Ganoderma was continuously injected into her body, and various life supernatural powers were used to repair her body.
At the same time, inside the Eternal Life Temple, outside the Zhenyu Tower.
Suzaku and Ye Qingxue stood side by side, looking at the Book of Life and Death floating in the air, with solemn expressions.
“That's how things are. At that time, I saw my future, as if my life trajectory was on this Book of Life and Death, and the end was endless nothingness. My body was disappearing, and I used all means to suppress myself. That feeling was the most terrifying feeling I have ever experienced in my life, even more despairing than when facing the dark turmoil launched by the Dark Universe… …”
After thinking, Ye Qingxue said: “According to the font of this Book of Life and Death and the aura of years left on it, it should have come from before the Immortal Ancient Era. In that era, who could draw out the life trajectory of the Heavenly Emperor of later generations? This kind of ability, I am afraid that even my father would find it difficult to do! Aunt You, you are the Suzaku Emperor, and you are also a top existence among the Heavenly Emperors!”
“It is said that this thing is related to the Book of Destiny. I was struggling in that feeling at the time, very laborious, but when the young master's hands grabbed me, I instantly broke free from it. Princess, what do you think this means?”
Ye Qingxue's eyes trembled a few times, and said: “This is just a possibility of speculation, and it cannot be determined to be the truth. This Book of Life and Death is a bit weird. To say that our strength is enough to destroy it, but it can temporarily trap your mind, Aunt You. Could it be… … Impossible… … How could it be?”
“I can't believe it either. From the Immortal Ancient Era to the present, experiencing hundreds of millions of years, every moment of feeling is so real, and everything we have experienced is so clear. We are Heavenly Emperors, how can the perception of Heavenly Emperors be wrong?”
“Yes, if we can't even figure out what is real and what is illusory, then it would be a truly tragic thing.” Ye Qingxue shook her head and sighed. The secret of this Book of Life and Death disturbed her heart. Perhaps there is a very terrible and unbearable cruel fact hidden inside.
This fact is so cruel that even Heavenly Emperors like her and Aunt You find it difficult to accept.
Suzaku said: “We must maintain caution in this matter and not be careless in the slightest. Anyway, the young master must collect all the Books of Life and Death into the Eternal Life Temple. If that is the truth, we can also lock its thoughts and make it unable to escape from it, so as to buy more time to open up the path between reality and illusion!”
“Cultivation is originally the path of contention for all living beings. Although we are Heavenly Emperors, haven't we also been contending all our lives? If so, so what if that is the truth, it's just one more contention. We will accompany him to continue walking, and in the future, we will surely uncover this veil that has shrouded the ages and see how many secrets are hidden behind these heavens!”
Ye Qingxue's eyes became deep and sharp, and the confusion in her heart was swept away. The Heavenly Emperor's Dao heart was as firm as a rock.
“What the princess said is good, it's just one more contention, and the truth will always come to light. I have a feeling that the young master will lead us to find hope in the future, otherwise the master and the existence in that coffin would not have chosen him. Regarding the matter of this Book of Life and Death, wouldn't the master and the existence in that coffin know about it?”
