Chapter 353 – The Three Emperors and the Old Man

An Zheng suddenly felt that he should stay and ask Old Cow for help. The elder always brought a lot of enlightenment to the young. With regards to the immortal palace and the immortals, perhaps no one in this world knew more about them than this Old Bull.

“Why aren’t you leaving?”

When the Old Bull saw An Zheng approaching, it squinted its eyes and asked.

The Dragon Lion looked down at An Zheng with hostility, and was about to attack at any moment. Although the Old Ox did not have any hostility towards An Zheng and the rest, the Dragon Lion was different. It had not forgotten about An Zheng and the others stealing the green lotus.

The Dragon Lion cried out towards the Old Bull, and the way it looked at An Zheng became even weirder: “Your luck is too overpowered, but it might not be a good thing for the Blue Lotus to follow you guys …”

An Zheng laughed awkwardly: “I can’t explain it, it is in my hands.”

The Old Bull screamed a few times towards the Dragon Lion and the Dragon Lion immediately snorted in anger.

“Do you have something to ask me?”

it asked An Zheng.

An Zheng nodded his head: “How exactly did the immortal palace be destroyed?”

The Old Bull remained silent for a while before asking: “Do you have wine?”

An Zheng was startled.

The Old Bull looked at him in disdain: “You want to hear a story, but don’t even have alcohol?”

An Zheng immediately took ouot of wine. He felt that it was not enough and took out all the wine he had brought. A burst of cyan light flashed on the body of the Old Bull, transforming into a middle-aged man dressed in cyan. He looked to be in his forties and there weren’t even any big wrinkles on his face, making him look refined and refined. If An Zheng had not seen it himself, he would not have believed that the middle-aged man was that Old Bull.

Then, An Zheng’s heart shook violently.

The transformation of a human into a demon beast required one to have Purple-Rank. The Old Bull had turned intuman so casually, and it was so perfect. If An Zheng had not seen the process of its transformation, he would definitely not be able to tell that the person in front of him was not a real human. In other words, the weakest Old Bull was at the middle stage of Purple-Rank, which meant that their Purple-Rank was at least at the fifth stage or higher. Relatively speaking, he was at the peak of the Lower Celestial Stage, almost the same level as An Zheng when he was at his strongest. It was very possible that he had already stepped into the great heaven realm … Of course, this was only An Zheng’s speculation. Maybe the Old Bull was even stronger than him.

“You can call me Old Qing or Old Ox.”

His eyes became misty for a moment. “In this world, he is the only person who calls me Xiao Li.”

As if he had felt An Zheng’s doubtful gaze, he let out a bitter laugh and took a sip of An Zheng’s wine from his jug. Then, he shook his head.

An Zheng said: “This is almost the best wine in the world.”

Old Qing said, “I can feel that the cultivation in this world has declined. I never thought that even the art of brewing wine would have declined.”

He took another sip. “Better than nothing.”

While he said that the wine in his mouth was bad, he still drank half of the jug of wine before he started to answer An Zheng’s question, “Actually, the destruction of the Immortal Palace was already destined to happen. In this world, you have to resist if you want to oppress someone. Some people forget where they came from and what they wanted to do as soon as they started. They think they are high and mighty, that they had done things to overthrow others, and then did things to suppress them. It would be strange if they were not overthrown. ”

He narrowed his eyes and said, “You should know about the Immortal Palace. It’s just that a long time ago, a group of people who had reached the Immortal Realm felt that they were extraordinary and thought that living on the ground would be disrespectful to their status, so they started to spend a lot of manpower and resources to build the Heavenly Palace... At that time, the people were even more uncivilized than they are now. Therefore, the people had some respect for those who could fly, with the exception of the birds. If a person can fly, he would naturally be considered an immortal in the eyes of the commoners. ”

“They thought that Immortals could protect humans. At that time, demon beasts ran rampant. Because of the dense Sky Origin Stage, demon beasts were also very powerful. In the beginning, the cultivators did help the people do a lot of things. However, later on, regardless of what the aloof cultivators did, the common people had to first hand over their offerings, or else they wouldn’t pay attention. No matter what time it was, there would always be Bravehearts. Some cultivators who didn’t wish to ascend to the Immortal Realm joined forces with the Demon Tribes who were suppressed by the Immortal. After thousands of years of preparations, they slaughtered their way into the Immortal Palaces.

“It just so happened that at that time, Blue Lotus and Xuan-Yuan were having an intense fight. Purple Ivy never liked the way the Immortal palace operated, so the Immortal palace was destroyed.”

He glanced at An Zheng, as if he did not want to say anything more.

“Who is Qing Lian?” Who is Purple Ivy? Who is Xuan-Yuan? ”

“Three Emperors of the Immortal palace.”

Three Emperors?

An Zheng’s heart trembled slightly, “Immortal Emperor, how strong are you?”

Old Qing said, “Tell me first, how are the current cultivators?”

“Initiating stage is advancing stage, advancing stage is entering stage, advancing stage is entering stage is entering stage, advancing stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage, following stage is entering stage is entering stage is entering stage, following stage is closing stage is entering stage is entering stage is As far as I know, the highest number of cultivators in the mortal world is at the Greater Heaven stage, and there are probably no more than two of them. One is Chen Wunuo, the other is the Buddha of the Western Regions. ”

Old Qing’s expression changed slightly. “What about the Dao?”

An Zheng shook his head, “The Dao Sect is a genuine sect, the Great Xi Wu Dang Mountain. The sect master’s strength should not have reached the Great Heaven Realm, at most, he only reached the Great Circle of Lower Celestial Stage.”

Old Qing seemed to be a little angry, “A group of unskilled students actually lost to the Buddhist Sect.”

I don’t know why he was so angry.

After a moment of silence, he said, “Forget it, after the old man left, there weren’t many disciples in the sect who were truly proficient. None of those people were willing to give in. It was inevitable that the sect would split up. “Up till now, the Dao Sect is already worthy of the old man’s hard work.”

“Your current cultivation realm is truly too low. In the past, when the elemental energy was dense, cultivators would generally be very powerful. The Greater Heaven stage that you speak of can’t be said to be common, and it isn’t that rare either. After all, there were close to ten thousand Immortals in the Immortal palace. With his cultivation base at the Greater Heaven stage, he couldn’t even enter the immortal palace. According to what you said, the so-called Greater Heaven stage should be below the Immortal Realm … It’s good for me to explain the power of the Immortal Emperor to you like this. ”

Old Qing said seriously: “If back then Purple Ivy, Qing Lian and the other two, any of them would have been able to take the resistance of the cultivators of the mortal realm and the demons seriously, I’m afraid they would have had no chance at all. Even so, the Monster race had an Emperor. Do you think that the destruction of this immortal palace was caused by a cultivator in the mortal realm? Then you’re wrong … The destruction of the immortal palace was actually caused by the Azure Lotus and Xuan-Yuan. Amongst the three emperors, Purple Ivy was the most unrestrained and disinterested in power. If it wasn’t for that person, he might not have entered even the immortal palace, and wouldn’t have bothered about Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan’s actions. ”

“Thus, when the Mortal Realm cultivators attacked, he completely ignored them and just left. Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan had originally agreed to take turns to preside over the world. In the end, when it was Xuan-Yuan’s turn, he didn’t want to give up his position. The green lotus was so angry that it was fighting a great battle with Xuan-Yuan. That battle was the true reason behind the destruction of the immortal palace. Although there was an emperor amongst the demons, he could not withstand one strike from the green lotus and could not block a single strike from Xuan-Yuan. The more they fought, the further away they went, and in the end, they pierced through the skies. Seeing the two of them engaged in a fierce battle to gain enlightenment of the Dao, the demon emperor also followed after them. That’s why no one is guarding the Inside the Immortal Palace, which is why it was destroyed. ”

An Zheng asked: “After the Immortal Palace was defeated, why did all the cultivators fall?”

Old Qing could not help but laugh. “You people...” It was truly hard to say. After the Immortal palace was defeated, who would be the one to rule the world? Do you believe that half of them will die with this question? ”

An Zheng suddenly realized, and then let out a long sigh.

Old Qing said, “At least you have a clear understanding. The original intention of the victors is to resist oppression.” But after victory? It was time to think about who would be in charge. The battle was already a mess, and no one was willing to accept it. Thus, after discussing for several days and nights, they were still unable to come to a conclusion, so they could only continue fighting. After fighting back and forth, all of the people in the demon race had died, and the demon race was abandoned. ”

An Zheng asked: “What about you?”

Old Qing: “What’s wrong with me?”

“How is your strength?”

“Actually, you want to ask why I survived right?”

Old Qing looked around. “I told you earlier that this is Grass Hall, not the Immortal Palace. The reason why the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda had flown here was because the Heavenly King and the old man were fated to meet. The old man had said that if the Heavenly King was in trouble, he could come to Grass Hall to hide. Therefore, I guessed that the Heavenly King had set a flying goal for the pagoda. The moment the pagoda flew up, it would head straight for Grass Hall. As for my cultivation level, how could it be considered any kind of cultivation level? It’s just that after following the old man for too long and hearing too much, I’ve naturally learnt some of it. ”

“Who is the old man?”

“You have too many questions.”

Old Qing looked up into the sky, as if there was too much confusion. “That’s right …” Who was this old man? He could clearly take charge of the situation, but no matter how strong Qing Lian was, she still had to respect him as her teacher. No matter how vicious Xuan-Yuan was, he did not dare be presumptuous in front of him. Other than that unruly Purple Ivy, who wouldn’t behave in front of him? However, he did not pay any attention to the Worldly cultivators’ attacks. Afterwards, when he said that the Dao had been destroyed and that the world was unfair, he wanted to go and find it. When I asked him when he would be back, he said he would find out when he would be back. I asked him again why he hadn’t brought me. He said, “It’s just an old thought. If you bring me along, I won’t be able to find a new path.”

Old Qing finished all the wine in the pot and then opened another pot. “I said, if you don’t want to bring me along, I will follow you. He said that I’ve heard about the Dao for many years, why is it that I don’t have a way of my own? It is because he carries me with him all the time that I do not have my own way. After he finished speaking, he left, never to return. But how could he know … I just want to follow him.

At this moment, An Zheng suddenly understood the sadness and loneliness in Old Qing’s eyes.

“I’m just a cow, his mount. Follow him and see the world. Stay with him in Grass Hall, I look at Grass Hall. “But it seems like the person looking at it is still him.”

He tilted his head back and gulped down the entire jug of wine, “You all can leave. Since people with your cultivation can enter the immortal palace, perhaps there will bruly powerful force that will charge in later on. At that time, the Inside the Immortal Palace would engage in another massacre. Tens of thousands of years ago, the rebels fought, and the Immortal palace was littered with corpses. In tens of thousands of years, you cultivators will also fight for the things in this immortal palace. With your strength, you probably won’t even be able to protect yourselves. ”

“To be able to obtain the Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda and the Blue Lotus is your fortune. This Fu Lu is already too big for you. If you continue to be greedy, there will inevitably be a calamity. You should leave if you have to, this place is not one that you should stay in. ”

With a flash of green light, Old Qing transformed back into the old cow. He was still lying outside the wattled fencing, looking back at the wooden house.

As if sensing the old cow’s grief, Dragon Lion who was originally staring fiercely at An Zheng and the others couldn’t help but let out a sorrowful cry. An Zheng and the others could not understand how much of it was painful, how much was in the past, and how much was in the past. But An Zheng and the other two, all of their hearts were especially heavy. The reason for that was because this story was extremely heavy.

And just like what the old ox had said, the opening of the immortal palace meant the opening of slaughter.
