Chapter 420: The truth about the "Demon King"
A corner of Weiyang Palace, a secluded palace.
Since Qing Xian has taken on the responsibility of protecting Ning Yuke, of course he has to live in the palace.
Although the residence is not large, it is elegant and unique enough. However, there are no palace maids or eunuchs coming in and out, so it seems a bit deserted.
"Senior Qingxian, what do you want me to do?"
Walking slowly in the courtyard, Wei Changtian turned his head and smiled: "But do you want to ask about the upcoming war?"
"fighting?"
Qing Xian shook his head: "I don't understand these things. Anyway, you are confident that you will win. Then you only need to tell me what the demon tribe is going to do."
Hmm? Not asking about this? Wei Changtian was stunned, a little puzzled: "Then what else do you want to tell me, Senior?"
“.”
The white skirt swayed in the wind, and Qingxian did not answer immediately.
She walked lightly into a pavilion, sat down with Wei Changtian, and then slowly spoke: "Master Wei, I want Ning Nuwa to be the next demon king."
“.”
The sound was not loud, like the sound of nature, and even seemed not as loud as the birds singing on the branches.
But such a light sentence made Wei Changtian stunned.
He stared at Qingxian in disbelief and didn't react for a long time.
No, what's going on?
Did I hear it wrong? Ning Yuke? Being a demon king? Today is April Fools' Day in another world???
"Senior Qingxian, you just said..."
"You heard me right. This king does intend to cultivate Ning Nuwa to succeed me."
Qing Xian raised his eyes and looked over, his expression calm: "I want to ask if you are willing?"
“.”
“It’s not a question of whether I am willing or not.”
Wei Changtian opened his mouth wide: "Why did you take a fancy to her? Besides, Yu Ke is not a demon, how can she become the demon king?"
"Master Wei, who said that the Monster King must be a monster?"
Qing Xian looked at the small pond outside the pavilion and uttered a rhetorical question that was no less obviously contrary to common sense than "Who stipulated that the chairman of the Women's Federation must be a woman?"
Then she paused for a moment and slowly explained the reason to Wei Changtian, who was looking stunned.
According to Yang Liu's poem when he first went to the Shiwandashan Mountains, the green string was transformed from the blue bird born from heaven and earth.
Wei Changtian didn't quite believe this.
Born by heaven and earth? Without a father or a mother? If it were in a high-level martial arts world full of gods and immortals, such a fantastic thing would be very possible.
But in this low-level martial arts world where even the first-grade shackles cannot be broken, this kind of "nurtured by heaven and earth" rhetoric does not sound reliable at all.
However, Wei Changtian had not delved into the matter before, after all, it had little to do with him.
But now the truth spoken by Qingxian himself proved that his guess was actually correct.
That’s right, the successive demon kings were not “born” by heaven and earth at all, but just like human sects, the previous demon king selected his successor, and then the succession was passed down from generation to generation.
Moreover, the demon kings are not demons.
They are a kind of "magical species" that are neither demons nor humans, and once "born", they have the strength of the second grade.
This species of Qingxianguan is called "Tianling", which means the spirit of heaven and earth, and is an existence that transcends this mundane world.
Wei Changtian was not sure whether there was any element of "self-boasting" in this, but judging from all the things about Qingxian, this statement did have a certain degree of credibility.
After all, Yang Liushi once said that the latter can change into any appearance.
Wei Changtian had never seen any "creature" with this ability. Only Qingxian could change his appearance at will with his "physical" body.
Yama can, but he is an imaginary entity.
Illusions are possible, but they are fake.
In addition to this, Qingxian's fairy-like appearance can barely be regarded as another piece of evidence.
Wei Changtian always felt that no matter how advanced "plastic surgery technology" was, the most beautiful women were definitely natural.
Because as long as it is "whole", there must be a "reference object", so it will never reach the latter level.
As for Qingxian's appearance, it only shows that it is really difficult for a woman in this secular world to grow up to be so pure and innocent.
There are only two possibilities in this case.
Either Qingxian had seen a real fairy and then became like her.
Or maybe Qingxian was born to be so otherworldly.
The latter is undoubtedly more reliable, so the existence of "Heavenly Spirit" is not impossible.
So, how did the "Sky Spirit" come into being? According to Qingxian, the process is a bit mysterious. The demon king chooses any creature with intelligence and teaches it a secret method.
After the latter masters the secret technique, his body will slowly begin to undergo a series of changes.
Regardless of whether it is a human or a monster, all racial characteristics will be erased bit by bit, and the transformation process takes from several years to several decades, depending on the circumstances.
Anyway, once the transformation is completed, no matter whether it is "he", "she", or "it", they will become "Him" who is neither a demon nor a human, and become a celestial spirit.
There can only be one living "celestial spirit" in the world. When a new one is born, the old one will die.
This means that the old demon king will die when his successor has achieved "great power", and the latter will naturally take over the throne of the demon king and become the new king of the demon clan.
At this point, the Demon King's inheritance was completed.
The breeze blows across the surface of the pond, water droplets roll over the lotus leaves, and the waves ripple.
Qingxian's words were very detailed and Wei Changtian was shocked to hear them.
It’s not that he can’t understand “Tian Ling” or this mysterious way of inheritance.
After all, the "modern science" that was once regarded as the golden rule has long been subverted and shattered by the rules of this world. Therefore, Wei Changtian can accept any "outrageous" thing.
But the question is, why did Qingxian do this? And why did she choose Ning Yuke?
"Ahem, Senior Qingxian, I still have some questions."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Changtian frowned and asked, "Would you be willing to answer one or two questions for me?"
"Ask." Qing Xian nodded.
"Okay then."
Wei Changtian organized his words and immediately asked the first question.
"Senior, since Tian Ling is not a demon, why can he be the king of the demon race?"
"Did the demon race never have any doubts? Wasn't there any great demon who wanted to seize the position of the demon king?"
“.”
"Because the demon tribe believes that Tianling is a demon."
Qing Xian paused for a moment and gave a simple answer: "At least compared to humans, we are more like monsters, right?"
"As for the latter, of course they did, but they all failed."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian did not ask why the great demons who attempted to usurp the throne failed, but nodded and asked another key question.
"Also, Senior, you just said that this world can only accommodate one celestial spirit."
"If I understand correctly, this means that once Yu Ke succeeds, you will die."
"Then why do you still do this?"
"hehe."
Qing Xian probably expected Wei Changtian to ask this, so he just smiled softly.
She looked at the yellowing leaves of the water lilies in the pond, and after a while she suddenly asked a question silently.
"Master Wei, do you know what it feels like to live too long?"
ps: I'm recovered from my illness, but today is my father's birthday, so I have to go out for dinner tonight. After I come back, I will update one or two more chapters depending on the situation.
