Just now, out of respect for his status as an immortal lord, even while searching for various treasures in the coffin, everyone avoided touching his body to prevent angering him.
Even though they knew the other person was dead, the title of immortal still made everyone feel a little guilty.
But now that we've searched everywhere else, all that's left is the remains of the Immortal Lord Baopu.
Zhao Hao was somewhat tempted, after all, in his opinion, the most likely place to hide the secrets of immortality or the secrets of eternal life was the Immortal Lord.
But thinking of the destined person that Jing Teng had just mentioned, he hesitated for a moment.
When a master leaves behind a legacy, there are often tests, both overt and covert, that are more important than assessing qualifications.
He had heard before that some people needed to kowtow a thousand times in front of a statue to receive the inheritance, while others needed to bury the body of the inheritor first to avoid being poisoned by the fake manual, and so on.
He asked himself honestly, if he were to leave behind a legacy, he would definitely set up many traps, at least not for those who would disrespect his corpse.
Because of these thoughts, he didn't dare to make a move for a moment.
At this moment, Jing Teng reached into the body of Bao Pu Xianjun and touched it. Zu An was startled and hurriedly stopped her: "Be careful, there are restrictions."
Sensing his concern, Jing Teng smiled slightly: "It's alright. The Immortal Lord knows me and won't make things difficult for me if he knows it's me."
Zu An thought to himself that the key point was that he was already dead, and it was very likely that he didn't know it was you.
But Jing Teng's attitude was firm, so he couldn't say anything.
Zhao Hao was rather delighted. He was just worried that no one would dare to touch the remains of the Immortal Lord, and this woman had delivered herself to his doorstep.
Under the watchful eyes of several people, Jing Teng examined the remains thoroughly, finally frowning and saying, "Huh, there's nothing there."
Zhao Hao could not hide his disappointment as he stared intently at Jing Teng, trying to determine whether she was deliberately deceiving him.
Although he hadn't discovered anything by following her movements with his divine sense, a Celestial Lord might have some means to hide things from him.
Zuan, on the contrary, breathed a sigh of relief: "Never mind if you don't find it, let's look in other places."
Jing Teng shook his head slightly: "It doesn't make sense. There's a memory in the dark that the Immortal Lord's backup plan is here, but why can't we find it?"
Zuan's heart skipped a beat: "Could there be some conditions that need to be met to trigger the follow-up move?"
Jing Teng was taken aback: "That's possible."
Then he pondered the nature of the Immortal Lord back then, wondering what judgment conditions he might have left behind.
At this moment, Zhao Hao whispered, "Will we have to kowtow a few times respectfully?"
Seeing the strange looks from the group, he blushed and said, "That's normal. A dignified immortal naturally hopes that those who come after him will respect him. I've even heard stories of people in ancient times bowing a thousand times in front of a statue, and the meaning of their bows would become clear."
Zu An said with a smile, "In that case, why don't you give it a try, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Hao: "..."
What a joke! He is the emperor, the strongest man in the world for the past hundred years, the object of worship and reverence of countless people. How could he kowtow to others?
If no one else was around, the collision wouldn't have happened; nobody would have known anyway.
But with so many people around, how could he possibly swallow his pride?
The key point is that even if he kowtows, he might not get a chance to become an immortal, so he naturally doesn't want to do such a shameful thing.
At this moment, Zuan said casually, "Sigh, if we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll be able to find another chance to become immortals. But luckily we're still young, and we'll have other opportunities in the future. Hong Lei, you don't need to take it too seriously."
Qiu Honglei knew he was cunning, so she suppressed a laugh and said, "Yes, even if we can't find it here, we can look for it elsewhere later. We have plenty of time."
Zhao Hao's face twitched; every word these two said struck a nerve.
They are indeed still young and have a long time ahead of them, but the signs of decay for them are getting closer and closer, and it will likely come within the next year or two. They have no time left.
At this moment, Zu'an helped Jing Teng sit down to the side. From the beginning, Jing Teng's face had been a little pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat from time to time. Worried that something might be wrong with her, he specially brought her to the side to rest for a while.
They even thoughtfully offered him some water.
Qiu Honglei was quite displeased, but as a demonic woman of the Demonic Sect, how could she make a scene at such a moment? Wouldn't that leave an impression of her as a jealous woman in Azu's mind?
In fact, her jealousy along the way has gradually made her more aware of herself. She realized that she had completely forgotten the seductive arts she learned when she was teaching at the middle school, as well as the techniques she had been exposed to at the Immortal Abode in Bright Moon City.
Ultimately, it's because I care too much about Ah Zu; concern leads to confusion.
But she was an extremely intelligent person after all, and she quickly composed herself and treated this as a war.
Not only can I not show the slightest jealousy, but I also have to appear understanding and considerate. Only in this way will Azu like me more and more, and even feel indebted to me. Hmph, let alone this book spirit, how could Chu Chuyan and the others combined be a match for me?
The title of "Demon Cult Demoness" is not given lightly.
Thinking of her triumph, she couldn't help but lean back, a strange smile playing on her lips.
“Sister Jing, I have some spiritual medicine from our sect that nourishes the spirit and replenishes qi. It will be of great help to you right now.” She took out a pill and handed it to her. “Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous.”
Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, Jing Teng was somewhat surprised by her change in attitude and felt a little guilty. What had happened to him before? He had acted petty for no reason.
“Thank you, Miss Qiu, but in my current condition, the pills are of no use,” Jing Teng paused, then said somewhat embarrassedly, “If Miss Qiu really wants to help me, could you release some of that light from before? That light made me feel very comfortable.”
