Wu Nian, whose head had been smashed in the head with a single punch, stood motionless with his headless body still.
After a few seconds, the headless body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Ye Qiu was startled.
Could it be that this old monster is dead?
Just as Ye Qiu was about to step forward to investigate, the headless body suddenly stood up abruptly, and a dazzling white light emanated from its neck.
In the blink of an eye, his head regenerated, completely intact.
"Grass..."
Ye Qiu was stunned.
What kind of magic is this?
No, it should be called sorcery... making you completely invincible!
"Good lad, you hit hard, but there's no need to continue this battle, because you can never defeat me."
Wu Nian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of superiority.
Ye Qiu was speechless, feeling a strange sense of frustration.
"Young man, this technique is called the Longevity Technique. If you are willing to join the Imperial Clan and become our Holy Son, I will slowly teach you this technique," Wu Nian said with a smile.
Longevity Technique?
Ye Qiu was startled, suddenly remembering the little Taoist boy under Tantai Jingxin in the Kunlun Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The young Taoist boy was practicing the Longevity Technique.
Such a heaven-defying method, no wonder that little Taoist boy was willing to undergo nine lifetimes of reincarnation to cultivate it.
"Judging from your expression, you seem to have heard of it?" Wu Nian asked.
"I know that someone once wanted to pass on this skill to me, but I refused because it requires nine lifetimes of reincarnation, and I have no interest in it," Ye Qiu said.
"Nine lifetimes of reincarnation?" Wu Nian laughed loudly: "Nine lifetimes of reincarnation is the most foolish cultivation method. If you enter the Emperor's Sect, I will teach you the Longevity Technique for ten years."
"Forget it." Ye Qiu waved his hand in refusal: "We have a two-year agreement, let's talk about it again in two years."
"Alright, then so be it. Ye Qiu, just remember this: the Imperial Gate will be your final destination. You can't escape it."
Wu Nian turned around, and his figure vanished instantly.
Ye Qiu sighed, his feelings quite complicated.
Lin Qingzhu rushed up at this moment, and after feeling Ye Qiu up and down, she breathed a sigh of relief after finding that Ye Qiu was not injured: "Thank goodness, thank goodness, nothing happened."
"You seem quite afraid of this Imperial Clan?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Who...who's afraid?" Lin Qingzhu gritted her teeth and said, "I'm just worried about you."
"What exactly is the Imperial Gate?" Ye Qiu asked, frowning.
"It is a demonic force that has only emerged in the last two years. It has only been around for a short time, yet it has already been hailed as the leader of the demonic path. However, it is extremely mysterious, and no one knows where the foundation of the Imperial Gate lies."
Our Supreme Temple has investigated countless times, but we haven't been able to find a single clue. However, we have found something about Wu Nian.
He is suspected to have lived for over six thousand years; he is a true living fossil.
Lin Qingzhu said solemnly.
Six thousand years?
Ye Qiu gasped sharply.
Six thousand years—what a terrifying number.
The recorded civilization of the Xia Dynasty lasted for approximately six thousand years.
"Shocked, aren't you? I was also shocked when I first heard the Palace Master say that. You know, our Supreme God Palace Master is only 1,999 years old," Lin Qingzhu sighed.
hiss.
Ye Qiu was shocked again: "You...you mean your palace master is almost two thousand years old?"
"Yes." Lin Qingzhu nodded: "The Palace Master will live as long as the Great Dragon Dynasty."
"Huh?" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise, "What does this mean?"
"It's a long story," Lin Qingzhu said. "I'll just tell you a little bit. When the Great Dragon Dynasty was founded, the first Dragon Emperor and the old master of the Supreme Divine Palace offered sacrifices to the heavens together on the Emperors Peak. The first Dragon Emperor personally appointed the old master as the National Preceptor of the Great Dragon Dynasty, so that he could enjoy the national fortune of the Great Dragon and live as long as the Great Dragon."
However, at the moment of her investiture, Consort Shu, who had accompanied the emperor to the mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven, unexpectedly went into labor and gave birth to a son on the mountain.
The old temple master calculated with his fingers and concluded that the son of Consort Shu was the one with great fortune, capable of suppressing the fate of the Great Dragon Kingdom and ensuring its immortality. Therefore, he had the first Dragon Emperor appoint him as the Great Dragon Celestial Master and take him in as his closed-door disciple, training him to become the new temple master of the Supreme Temple.
This new temple master is our current temple master, understand?
"I...I understand." Ye Qiu was a little dumbfounded.
This story sounds too bizarre, like listening to a celestial book, extremely fantastical.
"Hmph, our Supreme Temple is in no way inferior to that so-called Imperial Gate. In terms of history, our temple's history is no less than theirs," Lin Qingzhu said proudly.
"Now that you mention it, it does make some sense. But why didn't the first Dragon Emperor allow the current Palace Master to ascend the throne, but instead appointed him as the Celestial Master?"
Even if it were an official appointment, it should have been as a national advisor, like the old temple master, not as a celestial master.
Ye Qiu was filled with doubt and curiosity.
"Well, that involves something else entirely. Let me tell you, back then..."
Bang.
Just as Lin Qingzhu was about to speak, a finger suddenly appeared in the void, fell down, and flicked Lin Qingzhu's forehead.
"oops..."
Lin Qingzhu winced in pain and rubbed her forehead.
In the void, a blurry figure materialized, smiling slightly: "Qingzhu, you've talked too much. Have you forgotten the rules of this palace?"
"Lord, Qingzhu is guilty."
Lin Qingzhu hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"I'll spare you this time. Come back soon."
After the majestic voice dissipated, the figure in the void also vanished.
call.
Lin Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and kicked Ye Qiu: "It's all your fault, you made me get scolded by the Palace Master, how annoying."
"Holy crap..." Ye Qiu finally realized, "Just now, how... how did he appear? Isn't Longdu more than three thousand miles away from here?"
