Chapter 605 - the transformation of ancient Emperor Hao’s state of mind(1/2)
Empress ni Chunqiu walked down from the Pavilion in a daze.
Her eyes were unfocused, her mind was a little erratic, and her footsteps were also a little erratic.
She was at a loss.
Was it over?
When she opened her eyes, she met Lu fan’s warm and satisfied gaze. Ni Chunqiu didn’t know what brother Lu was satisfied with. She didn’t dare to ask or say anything.
When Lu fan told her to go downstairs, she could only go downstairs obediently.
When she reached the stairs, she finally came to her senses..
She had been having an epiphany for the entire day and night? !
She actually used this precious time alone with brother Lu to have an epiphany?
Suddenly, her mind was like a thunderclap. She was completely stunned. Her heart was very stifled, her chest was extremely heavy, and her soul seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.
However, when she met brother Lu’s hopeful gaze, ni Chunqiu understood that she could not take an inch and take a mile.
Brother Lu’s personal guidance was an opportunity that many people dreamed of but could not obtain.
She had obtained this opportunity. Could it be that she wanted to do something even more outrageous?
Thinking of this, ni Chunqiu regained her senses and could not help but let out a breath. It was a disappointment that she did not live up to her expectations.
Seeing ni Yu blinking her big eyes, full of hope and gossip, ni Chunqiu felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
“Sister Ni, it’s over? So Soon?”
Ni Yu’s small mouth was wide open and full of astonishment.
Ni chunqiu smiled bitterly and glanced at Ni Yu, pursing his red lips.
In the distance, Ning Zhao and Yi Yue looked at ni Chunqiu and nodded slightly.
“Yes, it’s over.”
Ni chunqiu sighed.
“Young master Lu’s guidance really allowed me to have an extraordinary understanding...”
Ni Chunqiu was extremely bitter.
Her heart was roaring and she was going crazy.
What kind of Enlightenment did she want?
What was the use of having an epiphany?
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The Empress Sighed and finally, she turned around and left.
The Empress had already left, but her sigh was still lingering on the island.
Ni Yu was dumbfounded. She really didn’t understand.
She ignored him and continued to refine pills. She would gossip during the alchemy break. Don’t be addicted to gossip. Refining pills was ni Yu’s main occupation.
The island returned to normal.
Lu fan sat upright in the pavilion. He supported his chin with one hand and looked at the chessboard.
A gentle breeze blew, blowing his white shirt and lifting his hair. It was somewhat cool.
While Ning Zhao and Yi Yue were cultivating, they were also taking care of the Fate Tower.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
..
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit stepped on the waves. A twelve-petaled blood lotus was quietly rotating in his palm. Within the Blood Lotus, billions of souls were wailing.
These were the souls of all the living beings in the ninth heaven. Ancient Emperor Hao had used the sea of blood to condense them into a blood lotus.
If ancient Emperor Hao didn’t do this, these souls would eventually disappear into the ninth heaven.
But now, he had a chance to be reborn.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit was actually very nervous. He wasn’t sure if Lu Pan would accept the souls of the ninth heaven in the blood lotus.
However, he was once an ancient emperor in the ninth heaven.
Therefore, he felt that he had to take a gamble.
Originally, he wanted to go directly to the Netherworld and find Tantai Xuan to settle this matter. However, the Little Princess pulled him back and stopped him.
What the Little Princess said made ancient emperor heavenly spirit suddenly understand.
“It’s rumored that young Lord Lu of white Jade Capital has a bad temper. You should go and talk to him...”
“Don’t provoke young Lord Lu. You’ll suffer a great loss.”
The young princess had listened to the stories of the white jade capital since she was young. She had an unprecedented reverence for the white jade capital, and young master Lu of the white jade capital made her even more reverent.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit Thought for a moment and felt that it was true. Lu Pingan was so overbearing... he was extremely narrow-minded, and he also liked to play tricks on others.
If his actions were caught, he would have a hard time in the future.
Even if he didn’t think of himself, he had to think of the little princess.
Thus, he brought the Blood Lotus to the Lake Heart Island.
Ning Zhao came out to welcome him.
This time, he didn’t Stop Lu fan because he had deduced the reason why ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit had come and allowed him to enter the island.
After ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit entered the island, he held the blood lotus in his hand and asked Lu fan.
“The departed soul of the ninth heaven...”
Lu fan sighed.
Lu fan couldn’t say anything about ancient Emperor Hao’s decision.
After all, if ancient Emperor Hao didn’t sacrifice all the living beings in the world, it would be very difficult for him to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm. He wouldn’t be able to resist the calamities of the gods and demons in the future, and he wouldn’t be able to become an immortal martial artist.
Therefore, Lu fan actually somewhat understood ancient Emperor Hao. After all, what could he do when he was cornered?
Rather than being slaughtered by gods and demons, it was better to gather all his strength and kill some gods and demons.
Killing one was worth it, killing two was worth it!
This was probably what ancient Emperor Hao was thinking.
He was just a little paranoid.
“Go. Go to the underworld and find Tantai Xuan. The five phoenixes have already become immortal martial artists. Even if these souls are reincarnated, the five phoenixes can completely endure it. They can even bring a wave of great growth to the five Phoenixes.”
Lu fan said.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit was startled.
He looked at Lu fan with some regret.
He didn’t expect Lu fan to be so easy to talk to and didn’t stop him.
He originally thought that Lu Pingan would refuse to let the departed souls of the ninth sky merge with the five Phoenixes. He didn’t think that it would be so easy to succeed.
Thus, this was the reason why ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit Sighed.
Lu Pingan wasn’t a bad person.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit left very quickly.
Lu fan looked at his back and smiled.
The merging of the millions of souls of the nine heavens into the five phoenixes was naturally beneficial to the five phoenixes.
Although it was impossible to complete the reincarnation in an instant, it would increase the population of the five phoenixes and fill the manpower problem of the five phoenixes.
Moreover, there were many dead cultivators among these dead souls. Even if these dead cultivators were reincarnated, they would still have talent in cultivation and have a high probability of becoming cultivators.
In other words, cultivators in the ninth heaven would gradually transform into cultivators in the five phoenixes.
And with the increase in the number of cultivators in the five phoenixes, the person who would benefit the most would naturally be Lu Ping ‘an.
Lu fan would not reject such a request.
Lu fan smiled. Even though he had unified the reincarnation cycle, it was still very difficult for him to harvest spiritual Qi within a hundred years.
If he wanted to harvest a wave of spiritual qi, he would have to wait several hundred years.
However, no matter what, Lu fan was naturally happy to receive the spiritual Qi.
After ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit left, he obtained Lu Fan’s permission to enter the netherworld. It was naturally very easy for him.
Tantai Xuan personally received him.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit took a trip through the Netherworld and followed the yellow springs all the way into the depths of the netherworld. He saw the endless sea of bitterness, as well as the crack abyss.
He sighed at the vastness and exquisiteness of the netherworld.
The six paths of reincarnation made ancient Emperor heavenly spirit exclaim in admiration.
This reincarnation maintained the circulation of the five Phoenix mortal world, making the world even more stable and harmonious.
In the ninth heaven, after a person died, the departed souls would return to the Heavenly Dao and become nutrients for the Heavenly Dao.
And in the ninth heaven, there would be the birth of a new life. There was no such thing as reincarnation.
Thus, this was also what the heavenly spirit ancient Emperor was surprised about.
Tantai Xuan took the blood lotus.
Looking at the billions of resentful departed souls in the blood lotus, he sighed.
He took the blood lotus and sat in the middle of the sea of bitterness.
He circulated the six paths of reincarnation visualization technique to wash away the resentful energy in these souls and transform it into karma, allowing these resentful souls to regain the right to reincarnate.
Of course, during this process, those who did all kinds of bad things and were addicted to killing would naturally sink into the sea of bitterness.
Perhaps this was also a screening process.
The other city lords of the nine dead spirit cities also appeared one after another. Now, these city lords were all at the peak profound immortal realm.
They also sat cross-legged in the sea of bitterness and helped Tantai Xuan refine it together.
The vast karmic energy churned. During the process of crossing over, these city lords of the Dead Spirit City obtained a huge increase in their strength.
Their karmic energy was like a vast ocean, stepping into the Golden Immortal realm.
Nine more gold immortals suddenly appeared in the underworld, greatly increasing the strength of the underworld.
Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit had stayed in the underworld for a long time. He had seen with his own eyes that all the departed souls of the ninth heaven had been reincarnated. Moreover, with Tantai Xuan’s help, he had obtained the opportunity to reincarnate. After the baptism, his soul had become completely clean, he had been reborn in the five phoenixes.
Tantai Xuan had also made a breakthrough. This time, the Karma had been added to his body, allowing him to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. He had stepped into the level of a rank nine golden immortal. However, Tantai Xuan was neither happy nor sad.
What was there to be happy about with such a breakthrough.
..
Five Phoenix Continent.
Great Mysterious Divine Dynasty.
Southern region, Southern Chu City.
This was the city of the Southern Region dynasty. It was not very prosperous. In fact, it was a little remote.
There weren’t even any cultivators guarding the city.
Late at night.
The stars twinkled.
Outside the city, a human figure walked over, step by step. He seemed to be at a loss, and he seemed to be walking casually.
This was a figure dressed in simple clothes, wearing a bamboo hat. He looked like an ordinary peasant worker.
“This is the mortal world of the five Phoenix Continent?”
Ancient Emperor Hao raised his head and calmly looked at this extremely weak city in his eyes.
The people in the city were all mortals. Perhaps there were some people who practiced martial arts, but in the eyes of cultivators, they were all ants.
Before Daoist Tonggu left, he gave Ancient Emperor Hao a suggestion, asking him to wash off the evil aura on his body in the five phoenixes.
Originally, ancient Emperor Hao was very reluctant.
However, in the end, he still chose to come.
He wanted to rebuild the nine heavens. Perhaps he could use the five Phoenixes’development model for reference.
He was quite familiar with the five phoenixes. They had grown from a low-level martial world to the immortal martial great world..
This was an incredible miracle. Not to mention him, ancient emperor Hao believed that even the experts in the ancestral land of the human race had never seen a situation like the five phoenixes’.
Which immortal martial great world could not evolve into a high-level martial world after billions of years?
It wasn’t like the five phoenixes, who were like a giant whale’s jet of water, rushing all the way to the peak.
Ancient Emperor Hao didn’t continue lamenting. He sealed his cultivation and suddenly had a great impulse to experience the feeling of walking through the mortal world with a mortal body.
He entered South Chu city.
South Chu city wasn’t considered a big city, and he didn’t seem to stand out in it.
He entered the city as a foreigner.
Ancient Emperor Hao could feel the hustle and bustle of the mortals. They were all bustling with activity, and he was dazzled by the sight of them entering seclusion for tens of thousands of years.
As soon as ancient Emperor Hao was born, he was born with a noble status. He rarely saw cultivators below the immortal constellation realm, let alone mortals.
After all, he was born in a large cultivation clan, and his servants were all immortal constellation realm existences.
Ancient Emperor Hao was not used to it at first.
He was somewhat out of place in this world.
He strolled along the streets, walking and walking.
Perhaps it was his strange actions that attracted the attention of the people in the city. After all, South Chu city was only so big, and everyone in the city was familiar with each other.
A strange face suddenly appeared, and he was wandering aimlessly on the streets. The people in the city all thought that he was a refugee who was hiding from the chaos of war.
Therefore, someone came forward and talked to ancient Emperor Hao, wanting to take him in.
After all, ancient Emperor Hao was muscular and looked powerful. He was definitely a good worker.
Ancient Emperor Hao originally had nowhere to go, so he agreed and became a worker in the city.
He wore coarse clothes and ate coarse food.
Originally, ancient Emperor Hao felt that he would soon hate this kind of life.
After all, this coarse food was completely difficult to swallow. It was ten thousand times worse than the most disgusting medicinal pills.
However, what made ancient Emperor Hao silent was that he realized that he was slowly getting used to this kind of feeling.
In fact, because he had sacrificed the entire heaven and Earth, his restless heart began to calm down.
The ruthless aura on his body seemed to have been washed away by the worldly splendor.
Ancient Emperor Hao was somewhat enlightened.
He gradually let go of his body and mind and began to try to integrate into this world.
“Pay Up!”
“Hao, this is yours.”
The foreman threw a copper coin to ancient Emperor Hao. Ancient Emperor Hao, who was sitting by the side eating a dry steamed bun, received it expressionlessly.
This was the first time he received a salary.
He looked at the small amount of money in a daze, and a strange emotion rose in his heart.
“Hao, look at how old you are. You still haven’t settled down yet. Uncle Liu, I know a girl. I’ll introduce her to you some other day. You’re everywhere. Settle down early and have a baby.”
The Foreman finished his pay and walked to ancient Emperor Hao’s side with a smile. He patted ancient Emperor Hao’s sturdy chest.
Settle down?
Ancient Emperor Hao shook his head silently.
However, he did have the intention of settling down in South Chu city.
He wanted to earn more money and buy a house. As for settling down, he would forget about it.
There were always people in his heart that he couldn’t bear to part with.
In addition, he also had some hope. After all, he had asked Ancient Emperor Heavenly Spirit to bring the blood lotus that carried the souls of the nine heavens to the five phoenixes for reincarnation. He didn’t know if heavenly spirit had done it or not.
If she really did it, perhaps he could wait for her reincarnation.
Following that, ancient Emperor Hao worked diligently. Gradually, the smile on his face became more and more prominent as he blended into the city.
He earned enough money to quit his job, buy a house, and even buy a shop.
The shop sold all kinds of exquisite pastries.
This was something that ancient emperor Hao learned after eating a simple meal.
He discovered that during the process of making exquisite pastries, his hostility would gradually dissipate.
In fact, he even became infatuated with this feeling.
At the beginning, although his pastries looked good, they were very unpalatable.
However, ancient Emperor Hao wasn’t discouraged. He worked for several years, and his pastry shop gradually became famous.
It was quite famous in South Chu city.
He was like a jade that had been washed clean of lead dust. He quietly stayed in South Chu city and lived an ordinary life.
He did not compete with others.
He worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.
At night, he could sleep peacefully with his eyes closed. He did not need to think about world disasters, the war between gods and demons, and so on.
Even when he fell asleep, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Gu Dihao had settled down in the five phoenixes, so Lu fan naturally paid attention to him.
Gu Dihao was, after all, a heavenly emperor-level powerhouse, and his relationship with the five phoenixes was not very harmonious.
Therefore, Lu fan would also pay attention to Gu Dihao’s situation on the island in the center of the lake.
What he did not expect was that Gu Dihao had actually stayed in a small city for dozens of years, as if he had turned into a mortal.
This made Lu fan somewhat familiar. It was somewhat similar to when he first entered the mortal world.
Lu fan didn’t disturb ancient Emperor Hao. He only observed him from time to time.
Ancient Emperor Hao’s life was very ordinary.
Dozens of years passed in the blink of an eye.
His appearance also grew older with the passage of time.
His pastries became more and more famous. Even some cities near South Chu city were famous for coming to his bakery to buy pastries.
Ancient Emperor Hao took in an apprentice. After all, he was an old man and couldn’t do it all by himself.
Time passed by slowly.
The evil aura on ancient Emperor Hao’s body became thinner and thinner.
A gentle smile would also appear on his face.
On this day.
Ancient Emperor Hao opened his shop.
The shop assistants put out the pastries that emitted an alluring fragrance.
Suddenly, Gu Dihao was stunned.
He looked at the elegant young master in a white robe sitting in a wheelchair in the distance. His old eyes flashed with a bright light.
“Shopkeeper, give me a green jade cake.”
Lu fan looked at Gu Dihao and said indifferently.
The waiter heard this and laughed, “Young master, you are from another city, right? You look very unfamiliar. The pastries from our Good Hope House can be said to be the best pastries in South Chu city. It is also an old brand. I guarantee that you will be satisfied.”
The waiter skillfully wrapped the green jade cake with oil paper.
Gu di Hao walked out and looked at Lu fan. “Young Master Lu, it is my pleasure to welcome you.”
Lu fan was startled. He smiled and waved his hand.
“I just want to eat the cake. After all, I am craving for it every day.”
Lu fan said.
Gu di Hao did not mind being watched. He could not help but laugh.
“This meal is on me.”
Lu fan took out a tael of silver and threw it to the waiter.
“Do you think I look like someone who is short of this bit of money?”
The waiter took the silver and was a little confused. Just as he was about to change the change, he realized that Lu fan had already disappeared.
“Shopkeeper, do you know this young master? is he a distant relative?”
The waiter asked curiously. They had followed the shopkeeper for so many years and had never seen a relative of the shopkeeper.
“This young master is very fair, as if he has an immortal aura. Unfortunately... his legs are not good. Otherwise, he would really think that an immortal from heaven has descended to Earth.”
The waiter said.
Ancient Emperor Hao smiled and pointed at the waiter. “I know him. This person has a bad heart. You have to be careful when you speak.”
Lu fan returned to the Lake Heart Island.
He opened the oil paper and took a piece of green jade cake. He took a bite and closed his eyes. There was actually a unique taste circulating in his mouth. It was a kind of emotion, a kind of artistic conception.
“The evil aura is almost completely gone. Is this still the ancient emperor Hao that this young master knows?”
Lu fan smiled. He found this cake to be very delicious.
No wonder he was able to provoke him into secretly coming down to the mortal world to buy a pack.
The transformation of the ancient emperor Hao made Lu fan rather emotional.
Sometimes, being ordinary was indeed very good.
Another ten years passed.
The ancient Emperor Hao still had a pastry shop in South Chu city.
He did not expand the shop, even though the name of the Good Hope House had already spread far and wide, even to the capital of the dynasty that governed South Chu city.
The ancient Emperor Hao also enjoyed this ordinary life more and more.
He even planned to end his life here, experiencing the birth, aging, illness, and death of mortals.
However, this plan of his fell through.
On this day.
Dark Clouds rolled over South Chu city.
It was so depressing that it made everyone’s heart sink.
On the city walls of South Chu city, the soldiers who were guarding the city felt their spirits drop.
However, they saw a figure wrapped in black mist rapidly approaching outside of South Chu city.
Ding! Ding!
A black flag shot up into the sky from the figure wrapped in black mist.
“Jie Jie Jie...”
The flag shot up into the sky, and the black mist immediately surged up and crashed into the city walls, causing them to collapse.
The Black Fog Rose into the sky. Within the Black Fog, there was a skinny old man who looked like a skeleton, and his eyes shone with an evil light.
“Sacrifice a city’s people, and today, become a nascent soul cultivator!”
This person took a deep breath, intoxicated.
Meanwhile, South Chu city had long since become a mess. South Chu city was only a small city. Although it had invited a cultivator to guard it, this cultivator was only a foundation establishment realm cultivator.
Facing this evil cultivator who had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm and wanted to sacrifice all the lives in the city to reach the nascent soul realm, he was completely no match.
However, this foundation establishment cultivator also rushed out without any hesitation. His magical treasure rushed out, flashing with red light, bringing along the martial artists he had summoned to fight against this evil cultivator.
Meanwhile, the officials of South Chu City didn’t run away either. They all sent their soldiers to join the battle.
The battle was very fierce. Many soldiers died.
This satisfied the evil cultivator’s desire. Countless souls were sucked into the flag.
“Today, everyone in the city must die!”
The evil cultivator had held back for a long time. He wanted to enter the nascent soul stage. Perhaps this was his only chance.
The city was in chaos.
The people who were lining up to buy pastries were also panicking. Fortunately, the foundation establishment cultivator and the martial artist were able to resist with great difficulty. This prevented the city from falling.
When the foundation establishment cultivator’s spiritual energy was exhausted, and the martial artist’s physical strength was exhausted, they would eventually be massacred by this evil cultivator.
The ancient Emperor Hao was very calm.
While the workers were panicking, he was extremely calm.
He didn’t look at the evil cultivator.
He looked at the foundation establishment cultivator, the martial artist, and countless soldiers who were blocking the front line.
They were fighting to the death to protect the people in the city and to give them a stable living environment.
This scene moved the ancient Emperor Hao.
He was somewhat stunned, and his eyes fluctuated violently.
This scene made him think of the situation at the Ninth Heaven back then. He was also so desperate and helpless.
However, this foundation establishment cultivator and the martial artists were not afraid of death. In order to protect the mortals behind them.
And the people in the city also mustered up their courage. They held the shoulder poles, kitchen knives, and other things, wanting to contend against the evil cultivators.
Ancient Emperor Hao’s eyes rippled.
“Back then, perhaps I should have given the world a chance to make such a choice...”
Ancient Emperor Hao sighed.
There was no turning back.
Boom!
Just as the foundation establishment cultivator guarding the city coughed up blood.
Ancient Emperor Hao bent his back and took a step forward, walking out of the city with determination.
“Shopkeeper, quickly go back!”
“We’re still young, we don’t need old men and women to fight!”
Many soldiers couldn’t help but say this when they saw ancient Emperor Hao.
Ancient Emperor Hao smiled, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The foundation establishment cultivator was finally defea-->>
