Chapter 417: Chapter 417 — life as human emperor, death as Emperor of the dead
In the 95th year of the Great Xuan Calendar, Human Emperor Yu long bin Tian.
The entire imperial capital was shaken, and the hearts of the people felt a strong sense of sorrow.
In the sky, golden light filled the air. There were golden dragons meandering around, and there was even a rumbling sound. It was as if the human emperor was still alive.
The entire great Xuan dynasty was shaken.
The news spread in an instant. One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred.
It spread from the northern County to the southern county, Dongyang County, western county, and the Western Region.
The world was shaking when the human emperor was in heaven.
On the Long Street, people piled up. The people walked out of their houses and walked on the snow-covered stone road.
The people felt lost. Everyone saw the faint shadow of the Golden Dragon in the sky above the imperial capital.
The Human Emperor, who had opened up a peaceful and prosperous era for them, was the first to cry. His voice was immediately filled with an infectious quality. It spread throughout the long street, and the sound of crying rang out endlessly, lingering around the imperial capital.
The commoners walked along the long street, and everyone walked towards the direction of the Great Xuan Palace.
They were sorrowful, and they sent the human emperor off.
In the Imperial Palace, the hearts of the great scholars and officials trembled, and they sighed.
Many of the old officials who followed Tantai Xuan had mixed feelings.
From the northern County Governor to King Bei Xuan to the current human emperor, Tantai Xuan did not have it easy either.
With a mortal body, he managed to establish a divine dynasty in an era of rising cultivation, suppressing many cultivators.
Many of the officials trembled as they knelt on the cold, snowy ground.
They kowtowed towards the depths of the palace.
This kowtow was a gift to the human emperor.
..
South County.
Tang manor, in a courtyard.
The light snow drifted as Tang Xiansheng sat on a rocking chair. With a crunching sound, the rocking chair gently shook and crushed the falling snow.
He raised his hand and the snow fell on his palm, bringing with it a slight chill.
“Human emperor, take care.”
Tang Xiansheng muttered.
Outside the door, Tang Yimo walked in. His aura became more and more tyrannical, easily shattering the falling snowflakes.
“Human emperor is in heaven.”
Tang Yimo said.
Regarding Tantai Xuan, Tang Yimo’s emotions were also quite complicated.
“I’ve long expected it. It was only a matter of time… However, when this day really comes, my heart is actually unable to maintain the calmness I imagined.”
Tang Xiansheng said.
“Next, there will be a great calamity. If great Xuan passes through it, it will truly be able to realize the eternal existence of the Divine Dynasty.”
“If it is unable to pass through it, the Divine Dynasty will be like the Great Zhou of the past, falling apart.”
Tang Xiansheng said.
When Tang Yimo, who was standing beside Tang Xiansheng, heard this, his pupils could not help but shrink slightly.
“Let’s go. It’s time to go to the imperial capital. This divine dynasty can be considered to have my hard work. We can’t just destroy it like this.”
Tang Xiansheng slowly stood up from his rocking chair.
“Do you need my help?”
Tang Yimo helped Tang Xiansheng up. After so many years, he had finally let go of the grudge he had against Tang Xiansheng.
Tang Xiansheng’s old hand patted Tang Yimo’s, and a smile appeared on his aged face. “No need. It’s just a small matter.”
“Cultivate well. That’s the most important thing.”
Tang Xiansheng reminded him.
Then, with his back hunched and his hands behind his back, he disappeared step by step in the wind and snow.
..
Xiliang.
Galloping Dongyan River.
The Overlord crossed his arms over his chest and carried an axe and shield on his back. He seemed to be floating on the surface of the river. As he stood, the river water on the surface of the river suddenly suppressed.
At this moment, the flying snow in the sky seemed to be torn into pieces by his aura and Qi force.
On the shore.
Luo Mingsang’s charm was still there.
She had also walked the path of cultivation. Although her talent was average, with the help of the Overlord, she had broken through to the nascent soul realm and had a long lifespan.
The faint roar of a golden dragon rolled in the clouds.
The overlord slightly raised his eyes and let out a breath.
Tantai Xuan, who had once fought with him for hegemony, had reached his lifespan.
Luo Mingsang had a complicated look on her face.
The human emperor, Tantai Xuan, who had fought his way out of the storm, still could not beat the blade of time.
“Ruling the world for a hundred years… He, Tantai Xuan, has lived a Wonderful Life.”
The Overlord said.
Indeed, compared to the boring cultivation, Tantai Xuan’s life was indeed wonderful.
However, Tantai Xuan had no regrets, and so did the overlord.
If he, Xiang Shaoyun, was allowed to rule the world for a hundred years, he would not be as calm as Tantai Xuan. Even when he was on the verge of death, he would not pursue immortality.
Actually, Tantai Xuan could pursue immortality. He was the human emperor, and he ruled over so many cultivators. The Great Xuan Divine Empire was the number one force under White Jade Capital. Why couldn’t the Human Emperor pursue immortality?
It was just that Tantai Xuan did not go.
The overlord slowly exhaled.
The air currents surged. The water of the Dongyan River seemed to have been blown away in one breath.
He looked in the direction of the East Sea. His gaze flickered slightly.
“It’s time to stop. Next…”
The Overlord raised his head. His gaze was filled with surging battle intent and surging heat. He stared at the sky. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
It made Dongyan River seem to be trembling.
It was time for him to live a little more exciting!
The Heaven and earth competition mentioned by Qi Liujia..
Come on!
The Overlord clenched his fists. There seemed to be a storm raging around him.
..
In the ancient tomb.
Jiang Li, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes with a complicated expression.
“Your Majesty…”
The image of Tantai Xuan laughing loudly, patting his shoulder, and calling him “Brother Jiang”appeared in front of his eyes.
It was as if a lifetime had passed.
He was the same as before, but the human emperor had become history.
Jiang Li closed her eyes again, and the ancient tomb fell into silence.
Jiang Li was waiting, waiting for the time to fulfill her promise to Tantai Xuan.
..
Tantai Xuan’s death had a huge impact on the entire five phoenixes.
The cultivation world also learned of this matter, and it stirred up waves in the cultivation world.
Martial Emperor City, the Qian nu palace, the Absolute Blade sect, and the Heavenly Void Palace all sent experts to the imperial capital to attend the funeral of the human emperor.
Mo Ju was in charge of presiding over this funeral.
The people from all over the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty rushed to the imperial capital one after another. They cried and wailed as they sent the human emperor off on the Long Street.
The entire dynasty was in mourning.
Heavy snow was falling.
The coffin was buried.
The fifth prince, who had been made crown prince, was extremely shocked. He felt the might of the human emperor and felt a sense of sorrow and panic in his heart.
However, he also felt a surge of respect for his father.
Many people had come to this funeral. Be it officials from all over the world or experts from the cultivation world, all of them had appeared.
The densely packed figures were all silent.
Mo Beike’s heavy eye bags trembled slightly. He stood on the hillside with Tang Xiansheng, gazing at the Imperial Mausoleum and letting out a long sigh.
On this day, a grand cultivator flew across the sky and came for the funeral of the human emperor.
There were even people who could faintly see the powerful peerless monster king appear in a black robe and bow slightly towards the funeral.
To the surprise of Tang Xiansheng and Mo Beike,.
The heretic cult that they had expected and the remnant forces of the western Marton Kingdom actually did not make a move at the funeral of the human emperor.
However, after thinking about it, the two of them could not help but sigh.
Perhaps, Liu Yuanhao was also sighing at this moment.
To Liu Yuanhao, Tantai Xuan was indeed an opponent worthy of respect and reverence.
On the day of the human emperor’s funeral.
The pavilion of divination sent out a message to the world, saying the last words of the human emperor.
The world shook.
The white pigeon of divination flew across the sky, flapping its wings, and white feathers fluttered.
On the black and yellow paper, blood words flowed.
One could faintly see that on the heaven’s Legacy Peak, an old man was painstakingly writing a book.
“The human emperor is spreading Dragon Qi that is a thousand feet long, worrying about the stability of the world. The emperor’s Dao of Dragon Qi is to take away the Dragon Qi of the people and give it to the people. He will cut off half a thousand feet of dragon Qi to protect the people of the world, wishing peace and prosperity for the country and the people. He will also cut off half a thousand feet of Dragon Qi to turn the Dragon Qi into evil. He will protect the officials and solidify the dynasty. If cultivators offend the officials, their spiritual sense will be burned by the Dragon Qi and fire. Their cultivation will be destroyed and they will die.”
“Farewell, Human Emperor.”
The news spread.
Everyone was stunned!
The faces of the many scholars turned pale. They pounded their chests and stomped their feet. Tears and tears flowed down their faces. No wonder the human emperor could still live for a long time, but he was still in eternal sleep. It turned out that he had killed all of the Dragon Qi to protect the world and the Divine Dynasty.
The people were in an uproar when they heard the news. When the news of the pavilion of heavenly secrets spread.
Vaguely, it seemed that Golden Dragon Qi was crossing the sky and rolling in the sky above the five phoenixes.
Some people who were seriously ill had recovered.
Some people with weak physiques felt their bodies flowing with warmth and became stronger.
The people were shocked and were filled with emotion in the next moment.
The most shocking thing was the dragon Qi that was half a thousand feet long protecting the officials.
Because of the implementation of the Great Xuan Law, the officials of the Great Xuan dynasty were not allowed to exceed their body parts. They were no different from mortals.
Even though they cultivated the haoran righteous energy of the Haoran sect, they were still extremely weak when faced with cultivators.
And now, with the protection of the Dragon Energy.
The confidence of the officials rose. They were even more daring to do things for the people. They could also consolidate the stability and stability of the Great Xuan dynasty.
This rule was accepted and acknowledged by the Master of White Jade Capital.
The cultivators naturally did not dare to challenge the law.
Many people were in a daze. The release of this rule seemed to completely separate the Great Xuan Divine Empire’s secular world from the cultivation world.
This was a good thing for mortals who were unable to cultivate.
At the very least, it saved the lives of the common people from the dangers that many cultivators brought.
..
Origin Lake, Lake Heart Island.
Tantai Xuan floated over and landed on the island.
The birds chirped and the flowers were fragrant. It was like a fairyland.
Tantai Xuan’s heart actually calmed down a lot.
He was dead. However, with Lu Pingan’s ability, it was not a problem for him to appear here. In fact, it was very easy for him to come back from the dead.
Lu fan was dressed in a white robe. He still looked like a young man. His long black hair was spread out, making him look a little relaxed and carefree.
Gulp Gulp.
In the pot, the warm wine was burning.
Lu fan waved at Tantai Xuan.
Tantai Xuan appeared in the White Jade Capital’s pavilion.
The Sea of clouds churned, and the lake water formed from origin Qi was constantly fluctuating.
Tantai Xuan was extremely surprised.
Back then, Young Master Lu had moved the island in the center of the lake and let the Strange Beast, the giant whale, carry the Immortal Island, Ride the wind east into the boundless sea. It turned out that everything was true.
Nearly a hundred years had passed, but young master Lu had not changed at all. He was just like the young man Tantai Xuan had been when he visited Beiluo City.
“Human emperor, sit.”
Lu fan had a gentle smile on his face.
Tantai Xuan also laughed out loud. He did not think about those things and sat down in front of Lu fan.
Lu fan took out the spiritual pressure chessboard and played against Tantai Xuan. However, Tantai Xuan’s chess skills were really bad. After playing for a while, he could not make a decision and did not know how to move.
“Young master Lu’s chess skills are superb. This king admires you.”
Tantai Xuan smiled and cupped his hands.
“No worries.”
Lu fan waved his hand.
Leaning against the thousand blades chair, his mind moved.
The bronze wine cup that was filled with wine floated in front of Tantai Xuan.
Lu fan also held the bronze wine cup and took a sip.
“A hundred years has passed. To cultivators, it’s just a retreat and a snap of the fingers…”
“Human Emperor, how do you feel about your life?”
Lu fan smiled.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Tantai Xuan drank a mouthful of wine. Young Master Lu’s wine was not something that everyone could drink. It tasted pretty good.
“You still have thirty to forty years left in your life. Why did you choose to dissipate all your dragon qi?”
Lu fan asked.
Tantai Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He smiled and said, “Rather than letting the dragon qi continue to decline, it’s better to do something for the people in the world. After all, it’s reasonable to take the Dragon Qi from the people and give it to the people in the end.”
Lu Pan nodded slightly.
Then, he asked, “I’ve always been curious…”
“With your identity as the Human Emperor, why didn’t you go out to sea to seek my longevity in your later years? You should know that if I let you live forever, you can live forever.”
When Tantai Xuan heard this, his face trembled slightly.
Seeking longevity… that thing counted as immortal fate, right?
He, Tantai Xuan, could do it too?
However, Tantai Xuan only thought this in his heart and did not say it out loud.
On the surface, he smiled freely.
“What immortality? Birth, old age, illness, and death. It’s human nature. It’s not that I can’t cultivate, but I’d rather experience a mortal’s life. Only by experiencing the joys and sorrows of mortals, birth, old age, illness, and death, can I better experience the sufferings of the people.”
Lu fan chuckled, as if he had seen through Tantai Xuan’s thoughts.
After that, he didn’t say anything.
He just let Tantai Xuan move around on the island.
Tantai Xuan was happy to be free. During these days as human emperor, he had been holding candles day and night until late at night, handling memorials and dealing with matters in the human world. Now, he could relax a little.
Lu fan waved his hand and let Tantai Xuan leave the White Jade Capital Pavilion.
Tantai Xuan began to stroll on the island.
He saw the Dao tablet and felt a sense of superiority. Any cultivator who saw the dao tablet would be shocked and feel something.
However, when Tantai Xuan saw the Dao tablet, there was no fluctuation in his heart. After looking at it for a while, he strolled away.
He came to the pill refining room.
He saw Ni Yu, who still had the figure of a girl.
Nine black cauldrons floated around Ni Yu’s body. Ni Yu’s baby fat cheeks trembled, looking extremely solemn.
She struck out balls and balls of heaven and Earth Obsidian Flames.
The black cauldrons were burned until they were bright red.
Waves of powerful spiritual qi fluctuations and dao intent fluctuations were surging, and there was even a faint pill fragrance drifting about.
Tantai Xuan watched with Relish.
Then, Ni Yu exploded the cauldrons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A terrifying explosion sounded, and the pill refining room was almost blown to the ground.
Ni Yu’s frantic shout came from the ruins of the pill refining room.
Tantai Xuan jumped in fright and hurriedly ran away.
“This guy exploded on his own, it has nothing to do with me!”
Tantai Xuan felt that since he was already dead, this girl wouldn’t be able to blame the explosion on his immortal insulation body!
Tantai Xuan strolled around the island in the center of the lake for a few days.
He swam under the morning Chrysanthemum and giggled in the peach blossom bushes.
He walked past the purple bamboo forest and stood in front of the teacher’s tomb. He was filled with emotions and sat on the ground, nagging a lot.
Although he had always been on the opposite side of the teacher, Tantai Xuan still admired him. The Great Spirit created by the teacher had stabilized the official system of the Great Xuan dynasty.
Finally.
A few days later.
Tantai Xuan appeared in front of Lu fan again.
“Human Emperor, you are now in a soul state. Other than extinguishing your soul and dispersing the world, you have three other choices…”
Lu fan leaned against the thousand blades chair and tapped his finger on the armrest of the wheelchair. He looked at Tantai Xuan and said.
Lu fan also found it difficult to decide Tantai Xuan’s future.
Therefore, Lu fan planned to leave this decision to Tantai Xuan himself.
“Oh?”
Tantai Xuan’s interest was immediately piqued. There were actually three other choices.
“This is because of your achievements as human emperor…”
Lu fan said.
“The first choice, I can condense a physical body for you and live another life.”
Tantai Xuan frowned and thought for a long time.
He sighed and shook his head.
“If you’re dead, then you’re dead. Why are you still alive? To be reborn and compete for the throne with your own son? Isn’t that just taking off your pants and farting?”
“Young master Lu, what’s the second choice?”
Lu fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He said slowly, “The second choice, I can reincarnate for you and allow you to retain your memories. You can choose to embark on the orthodox path of cultivation…”
This second choice was very tempting to Tantai Xuan.
Tantai Xuan’s heart was moved.
However, after a long time, Tantai Xuan still wanted to hear the third choice.
“Young Master Lu, what is the third choice?”
Tantai Xuan looked at Lu fan and asked solemnly.
Lu fan had been gently tapping on the armrest of the wheelchair and stopped.
He looked at Tantai Xuan and gently exhaled.
“You have experienced the life of a mortal. Can you feel it compared to a cultivator?”
Tantai Xuan was stunned. He did not expect Lu fan to ask this.
However, after pondering for a while, he said, “Mortals are too fragile compared to cultivators.”
Indeed, mortals were too fragile. Their lives were as fragile as an ant’s life. They could be easily killed.
“Oh… Do you still remember the Nine Hells Arcane Realm?”
Lu fan said.
“There are nine ghost cities in the Nine Hells Arcane realm. The souls of the dead will fly there… it’s a chaotic underworld. The souls of the dead stay there and can’t transcend.”
“Haven’t you been complaining about not having great immortal destiny?”
Lu fan chuckled, “The third choice is the greatest immortal destiny…”
“You enter the Nine Hells, punish good and evil, establish reincarnation, and manage the order of the underworld. As long as you manage it well…”
Lu fan pointed at the wheelchair as he looked at Tantai Xuan with sparkling eyes.
Then, his voice became a little ethereal as he said,
“You will be born as the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty and die as the underworld emperor of the Nine Hells.”
