Chapter 419: Born as the Human Emperor, Died as the Underworld Emperor
In the ninety-fifth year of the Great Xuan Calendar, the Human Emperor rode a dragon to heaven.
The entire imperial capital was shaken, and people's hearts were moved, with a strong sense of grief surging.
In the sky, golden light was everywhere, there were golden dragons winding around, and there were rumbling sounds, as if they were the whispers of the Human Emperor when he was alive.
The whole dynasty of Great Xuan Divine Dynasty was shaken.
The news spread in an instant, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
It spread from Beijun to Nanjun, Dongyangjun, Xijun and the western regions.
On the day when the Human Emperor passed away, the world was shocked.
On the long street, human figures were piled up one after another. People walked out of their houses and walked on the stone road covered with snow.
The people felt lost, and everyone saw the shadow of a golden dragon looming in the sky above the capital.
The Human Emperor who created a stable and prosperous era for them rests forever. No one knows who cried out first, but the sound was suddenly infectious and spread along the long street. The crying sound echoed endlessly and lingered around the imperial capital.
The people walked along the long street, and everyone headed towards the Daxuan Palace.
They were sad and they saw the Emperor off.
In the imperial palace, the great scholars and ministers trembled in their hearts and sighed.
Many of the old ministers who followed Tan Tai Xuan are now filled with mixed emotions.
From the governor of Beijun, to the King of Beixuan, and then to the current Human Emperor, it was not easy for Tan Tai Xuan.
With a mortal body, he struggled hard in the era when spiritual practice was on the rise, and he managed to create a divine dynasty and suppress many spiritual practitioners.
Many ministers trembled and knelt on the cold, snowy ground.
They kowtowed towards the depths of the palace.
This kowtow is to send off the Human Emperor.
…
South County.
In the Tang Mansion, in a separate courtyard.
It was snowing lightly. Tang Xiansheng was sitting in a rocking chair. The chair creaked as it rocked gently, crushing the falling snow.
He raised his hand, and snowflakes fell on his palm, bringing a slight chill.
"Human Emperor, have a safe journey."
Tang Xiansheng murmured.
Outside the door, Tang Yimo walked in. His aura became stronger and stronger, easily shattering the falling snowflakes.
"The emperor has passed away."
Tang Yimo said.
Tang Yimo also had complicated emotions towards Tan Tai Xuan.
"I had expected this long ago. It was only a matter of time... But now that this day has finally arrived, my heart can no longer remain as calm as I imagined."
Tang Xiansheng said.
"Next, there will be a great catastrophe. If Daxuan survives it, the Divine Dynasty will truly be able to last forever."
"If we can't make it through, the Divine Dynasty will fall apart like the Great Zhou Dynasty did in the past."
Tang Xiansheng said.
Tang Yimo, who was standing next to Tang Xiansheng, couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this.
"Let's go, it's time to go to the Imperial Capital. This Divine Dynasty is the result of my hard work, and we can't let it be destroyed like this."
Tang Xiansheng slowly stood up from the rocking chair.
"Do you need my help?"
Tang Yimo supported Tang Xiansheng. After so many years, he had let go of the grudge he had towards Tang Xiansheng.
Tang Xiansheng patted Tang Yimo with his old hand, and a smile appeared on his old face: "No, it's just a small matter."
"You practice well, that's the most important thing."
Tang Xiansheng warned.
Afterwards, with his back hunched and his hands behind his back, he disappeared step by step in the wind and snow.
…
Xiliang.
The rushing Dongyan River.
The Overlord crossed his arms over his chest, carrying an axe and shield on his back. He seemed to be floating on the surface of the river. As he stood up, the water on the surface of the river was suddenly suppressed.
At this moment, the flying snow in the sky seemed to be torn into pieces by his breath and energy.
shore.
Luo Mingsang still has its charm.
She also chose the path of cultivation. Although her talent in cultivation was average, with the help of the powerful Overlord, she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and had a long lifespan.
There was a faint roar of a golden dragon rolling through the clouds.
The Overlord raised his eyes slightly and exhaled slowly.
Tan Tai Xuan, who once competed with him for the world, has reached the end of his life.
Luo Mingsang's expression was also slightly complicated.
The Human Emperor Tan Tai Xuan, who had fought his way out of the stormy event, was ultimately unable to withstand the blade of time.
"He ruled the world and changed the world for a hundred years... Tan Tai Xuan can be considered to have lived a wonderful life."
The way of the overlord.
Indeed, compared to the boring practice, Tan Tai Xuan's life is indeed wonderful.
However, Tan Tai Xuan had no regrets, and neither did Ba Wang.
If Xiang Shaoyun were allowed to rule the world for a hundred years, he would not be able to be as calm as Tan Tai Xuan when he was on the verge of death and not pursue immortality.
In fact, Tan Tai Xuan can pursue immortality. He is the Human Emperor, commanding so many practitioners. The Da Xuan Divine Dynasty is the number one force under Bai Yujing. Why can't the Human Emperor seek immortality?
It’s just that Tan Tai Xuan didn’t go.
The Overlord let out a breath slowly.
The air waves surged, and the water of the Dongyan River seemed to be blown away by a breath.
He looked towards the East China Sea, his eyes flickering slightly.
"It's time to focus. Next..."
The Overlord raised his head, his eyes filled with surging fighting spirit and surging heat. He stared into the sky, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.
It made the Dongyan River seem to be trembling.
He should live a more exciting life! The competition between heaven and earth mentioned by Qi Liujia...
bring it on!
The Overlord clenched his fists, and a storm seemed to be sweeping around him.
…
Inside the ancient tomb.
Jiang Li, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes with a very complicated expression.
"Your Majesty..."
Before his eyes, the image of Tan Tai Xuan smiling broadly, patting his shoulder and calling him "Brother Jiang" appeared.
Everything seems like a lifetime ago.
He remains the same as before, but the Human Emperor has become history.
Jiang Li closed his eyes again, and the ancient tomb fell into silence.
Jiang Li was waiting, waiting for the time to fulfill his promise to Tan Tai Xuan.
…
The death of Tan Tai Xuan had a huge impact on the entire Five Phoenixes.
The spiritual practice community also learned about this incident, causing a stir in the usually calm spiritual practice community.
Wudi City, Qiannv Palace, Juedao Sect, and Tianxu Palace all sent strong men to the Imperial Capital to attend the funeral of the Human Emperor.
Mo Ju was responsible for presiding over the funeral.
People from all over the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty rushed to the Imperial Capital, crying and wailing, and lined the long streets to see the Human Emperor off.
The whole court was in grief.
Under heavy snow.
Coffin burial.
The Fifth Prince, who was appointed as the Crown Prince, was extremely shocked. Feeling the power of the Human Emperor, he actually felt a little sad and panicked in his heart.
However, admiration for his father also welled up.
Many people came to this funeral, including officials from various places and powerful people from the cultivation world.
There were so many figures around, and everyone was silent.
Mo Beike's heavy eye bags trembled slightly. He stood on the hillside with Tang Xiansheng, gazing at the imperial mausoleum and sighed leisurely.
On this day, a great cultivator appeared out of nowhere and came to the funeral of the Human Emperor.
Some people even vaguely saw the powerful and peerless demon king appear in a black robe and bow slightly towards the funeral.
What was beyond Tang Xiansheng and Mo Beike's expectations was...
The evil cult and remnant forces of the Western Marton Kingdom that they had expected did not take action at the funeral of the Human Emperor.
But after thinking about it, both of them couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps, Liu Yuanhao was also sighing at this moment.
For Liu Yuanhao, Tan Tai Xuan was indeed an opponent worthy of respect and awe.
On the day when the funeral of the Human Emperor ended.
The Tianji Pavilion sent a message to the world, and what was transmitted was actually the last words of the Human Emperor.
The whole world was shocked.
The white dove flew across the sky, flapping its wings and its white feathers fluttering.
Blood words flowed on the dark yellow paper.
Faintly, on the Tianji Peak, one can see an old man working hard and writing rapidly.
"The Emperor of Man scattered a hundred feet of dragon energy, worrying about the stability of the world. The Emperor's dragon energy is taken from the people and given to the people. He cut off half a hundred feet of dragon energy to protect the people of the world. May the country be peaceful and the people live and work in peace. He cut off another half a hundred feet of dragon energy. The dragon energy will turn into karma, protect the officials, and consolidate the Divine Dynasty. If a cultivator offends the officials, he will be burned by the dragon energy fire, his cultivation will be destroyed, and he will die."
"Farewell to the Emperor."
The news spread.
Everyone was shocked!
Many great scholars turned pale, beat their chests and stamped their feet, tears streaming down their faces. No wonder the Human Emperor could have lived for a long time but fell into eternal sleep. It turned out that he had cut off all the dragon energy and protected the world and the Divine Dynasty.
The people were shocked when they heard the news about Tianji Pavilion.
Faintly, there seemed to be a golden dragon energy crossing the sky, rolling above the Five Phoenixes.
Some people who were seriously ill recovered.
Some people with weak constitutions felt a warm current flowing through their bodies and became strong and healthy.
The people were shocked, and the next moment they were filled with grief.
The most shocking thing is that the half-hundred-foot dragon energy protects all officials.
Because of the implementation of the Great Xuan Law, officials of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty were not allowed to have cultivation levels higher than Ti Zang, which made them no different from ordinary mortals.
Even though he cultivated the great righteousness of the Haoran Sect, he was still extremely weak when facing fellow practitioners.
And now, there is the protection of dragon energy.
The officials became more confident and dared to do more for the people, which also helped to consolidate the stability and peace of the Divine Dynasty.
This rule was agreed and recognized by the Lord of Baiyujing.
Naturally, practitioners all over the world would not dare to break the law.
Many people were in a daze. The release of this rule seemed to completely separate the secular world and the cultivation world of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty.
This is a good thing for mortals who are unable to practice.
At the very least, it has saved the lives of ordinary people from the crises caused by many practitioners.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
Benyuan Lake, the island in the middle of the lake.
Tan Tai Xuan floated over and landed on the island.
With birds singing and flowers blooming, it is like a fairyland.
Tan Tai Xuan's heart was actually much calmer.
He was dead, but with Lu Ping'an's ability, it was not a problem for him to appear here, and even coming back to life was easy.
Lu Fan was wearing a white shirt, still looking like a teenager, with his long black hair spread out, looking somewhat relaxed and carefree.
Gurgle gurgle.
In the pot, warm wine is boiling.
Lu Fan waved towards Tan Tai Xuan.
Tan Tai Xuan appeared on the Baiyujing Pavilion.
The sea of clouds was rolling, and the lake water formed by the original energy was constantly fluctuating.
Tan Tai Xuan was extremely surprised.
At the beginning, Young Master Lu moved to the island in the middle of the lake and let the giant whale, a strange beast, carry the fairy island and ride the wind eastward into the vast ocean. It turned out that everything was true.
Nearly a hundred years have passed, but Young Master Lu has not changed at all. He looks just like the young man he was when Tan Tai Xuan first visited Beiluo City.
"Human Emperor, sit down."
Lu Fan had a gentle smile on his face.
Tan Tai Xuan also laughed, not thinking about those things, and sat in front of Lu Fan casually.
Lu Fan set up the Lingya chessboard and played against Tan Tai Xuan. However, Tan Tai Xuan's chess skills were really bad. After playing for a while, he became indecisive and didn't know how to make a move.
"Young Master Lu is an excellent chess player. This king admires him."
Tan Tai Xuan smiled and cupped his hands.
"No problem."
Lu Fan waved his hand.
Leaning against the Thousand Blade Chair, his mind moved.
A bronze wine goblet filled with wine floated in front of Tan Tai Xuan.
Lu Fan also held the bronze wine cup and took a sip.
"A hundred years is but a moment of seclusion or a snap of a finger for a cultivator..."
"How do you feel about the life of the Human Emperor?"
Lu Fan laughed.
"It's so-so, but it's still okay."
Tan Tai Xuan took a sip of the wine. Not everyone can drink Young Master Lu’s wine. It tastes pretty good.
"You still have thirty or forty years left to live, why did you choose to dissipate your dragon energy?"
Lu Fan asked.
Tan Tai Xuan was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Instead of letting the dragon energy continue to decline, it is better to do something for the people of the world. After all, the dragon energy is taken from the people, and it is reasonable to give it back to the people in the end."
Lu Fan nodded slightly.
Then he spoke again and asked, "I have always been curious..."
"With your status as the Emperor of Man, why don't you go out to sea in your later years to seek immortality from me? You should know that if I allow you to be immortal, you can be immortal."
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Xuan's face trembled slightly.
Seeking immortality... that thing can be considered as immortal fate, right?
Can he, Tan Tai Xuan, do it too? However, Tan Tai Xuan only thought so in his heart and never said it out loud.
On the surface, he smiled carefreely.
"Why seek immortality? Birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all people. It's not that I can't practice cultivation, but I would rather experience the life of a mortal. Only by feeling the joys, sorrows, anger, anger, and happiness, birth, aging, sickness and death of mortals can I better understand the sufferings of the people."
Lu Fan chuckled, as if he saw through Tan Tai Xuan's thoughts.
After that, he didn't say anything.
Just let Tan Tai Xuan move around freely on the island.
Tan Tai Xuan was actually happy to have some free time. During his time as the Emperor, he had been staying up late with candles day and night, dealing with memorials and handling worldly affairs. Now he could finally relax a little.
Lu Fan waved his hand and let Tan Tai Xuan leave the Baiyujing Pavilion.
Tan Tai Xuan began to stroll around the island.
When he saw the Taoist stele, he only felt a sense of grandeur. Any cultivator who saw the Taoist stele would be shocked and feel something in his heart.
However, when Tan Tai Xuan saw the Taoist stele, he felt no emotion at all. After looking at it for a while, he strolled away.
He came to the alchemy room.
I met Ni Yu, who still had the figure of a girl.
Nine black pots floated around Ni Yu's body. Ni Yu's chubby cheeks trembled, and she looked extremely solemn.
She shot out ball after ball of mysterious fire from heaven and earth.
The black pot was burning red.
Waves of powerful spiritual energy and Taoism were surging, and there was even a faint fragrance of elixir floating in the air.
Tan Tai Xuan watched with great interest.
Then, Ni Yu was furious.
Bang, bang, bang! There were horrible explosions, and the alchemy room was almost flattened to the ground.
From the ruins of the alchemy room came Ni Yu’s frantic shouts.
Tan Tai Xuan was startled and ran away quickly.
"This guy is just making trouble on his own, it has nothing to do with me!"
Tan Tai Xuan felt that he was almost dead, and this girl had no chance of putting the blame on his immortal fate insulator!
Tan Tai Xuan wandered around the island in the middle of the lake for several days.
Wandering under the chrysanthemums and smiling foolishly among the peach blossoms.
Walking through the purple bamboo forest, I sat on the ground in front of Confucius' tomb, filled with emotion and talking a lot.
Although the Master has always been an antagonist, Tan Tai Xuan still respects him greatly. The great spirit created by the Master has stabilized the official system of the Great Xuan Divine Dynasty.
finally.
A few days later.
Tan Tai Xuan appeared in front of Lu Fan again.
"Human Emperor, you are now in the state of a soul. In addition to annihilating your soul and dispersing it across the heavens and earth, you still have three choices..."
Lu Fan leaned against the Thousand Blade Chair, tapped his fingers on the wheelchair armrests, looked at Tan Tai Xuan, and said.
Lu Fan also found it difficult to decide about Tan Tai Xuan's future.
Therefore, Lu Fan planned to leave this decision to Tan Tai Xuan himself.
"oh?"
Tan Tai Xuan immediately became interested, there were actually three options.
"This is in light of your achievements as the Emperor of Man..."
Lu Fan said.
"The first option is that I can condense a physical body for you and live a new life."
Tan Tai Xuan frowned and thought for a long time.
Sighed and shook his head.
"If you're dead, you're dead. Why come back to life? To live again and fight for the throne with your own son? Isn't that like taking off your pants and farting?"
"Master Lu, what is the second option?"
Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He said slowly: "The second option is that 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 option is very tempting to Tan Tai Xuan.
Tan Tai Xuan's heart was moved.
However, after a long time, Tan Tai Xuan still wanted to hear the third option.
"Master Lu, what is the third option?"
Tan Tai Xuan looked at Lu Fan and asked solemnly.
Lu Fan stopped tapping the wheelchair guards.
Looking at Tan Tai Xuan, he let out a breath and said.
"You have experienced the life of a mortal, and compared it with that of a cultivator, can you feel it?"
Tan Tai Xuan was startled. He didn't expect Lu Fan to ask this.
However, after hesitating for a while, he said, "Compared with cultivators, mortals are too fragile."
Indeed, mortals are too fragile. Their lives are as fragile as those of ants and can be easily crushed to death.
"Hmm... do you still remember the Nine Hells Secret Realm?"
Lu Fan said.
"There are nine ghost towns in the Nine Hells Secret Realm. The souls of the dead people will fly there... It is a disordered underworld. The souls of the dead stay there and it is difficult to escape."
"Don't you always complain about not having a chance to become a great immortal?"
Lu Fan chuckled, "The third choice is the greatest immortal fate..."
"You are the master of the Nine Hells, judging good and evil, creating reincarnation, and managing the order of the underworld. As long as you manage it well..."
When Lu Fan said this, he pointed his finger at the wheelchair and looked at Tan Tai Xuan with sparkling eyes.
Then, the voice became somewhat ethereal, saying:
"Born as the Human Emperor of the Divine Dynasty, and dead as the Underworld Emperor of the Nine Hells."
