Chapter 762: Heaven and Earth Reestablish Order
After Xu Bai carefully understood the cause of the incident, the first thing he thought about was not how to suppress the heated public opinion.
Instead, the real body, who was thousands of miles away, directly looked at his own [Zhenzhen] panel.
The upper limit of physiological age has not decreased.
But Xu Bai did not think that Peng Qing's words were nonsense.
The Lord of Rebirth first attained enlightenment in the white mist.
As we all know, the white fog is called "Essence-Devouring White Fog" and can devour the lifespan of cultivators.
Peng Qing died suddenly, and his tragic condition before death was almost identical to that of the monk who died in the white mist.
All these things cannot be explained by the word coincidence.
However, in order to prevent the situation from escalating, Xu Bai first used threats and inducements to silence all the witnesses of that day.
Then they sent out monks to spread even more bizarre and horrifying statements.
For example: Before a cultivator in a certain place died, he was as miserable as Peng Qing. At the same time, he shouted: "The one who destroyed the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is the Heavenly Lord who spread the Dharma."
For example, Peng Qing is not really Peng Qing. The real Peng Qing died many years ago. The one who died in front of everyone that day was a clone created by a cultivator from the Five Elders Association named [Thousand Faces Demon Lord]. He had ulterior motives and was trying to create chaos in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
…
For a time, there were many different opinions and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Gradually, although the heat of the incident did not diminish, not many people cared about Peng Qing's true crazy remarks before his death.
This went on for more than ten days.
The Peng Qing incident was gradually forgotten by the public. Fewer and fewer people discussed it. Eventually, public opinion completely died down.
It's as if this thing never happened in the world.
Xu Baixing fulfilled his mission and Nangong Shirong was also very satisfied.
It was rare for him to be so generous, and he rewarded a lot of merits and contributions.
He also gave Xu Bai a statue.
"This is..." Xu Bai held the statue in his palm, and a mysterious feeling arose spontaneously.
It's like holding another body of your own.
"This is the [Imperial Order of Rebirth]." Nangong Shirong introduced with a proud look on his face.
"Not long ago, I was awarded three statues by my superiors. I kept one for myself as a backup, and it would be useless to carry the extra one with me. Since you have performed a great deed this time, I will simply give it to you."
"With this thing, even if you die, you can be reincarnated and resurrected immediately."
Xu Bai showed a delighted expression: "Thank you very much for your kindness!"
Since the establishment of the Palace of Rebirth, Xu Bai, as a state liaison envoy, has not found out how to obtain the many treasures in the Palace of Rebirth.
Although when it was announced to the world, it was said that everyone could obtain it as long as they made contributions.
However, the doors of the palaces of rebirth in each state were closed.
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even Xu Bai couldn't enter at all.
Not to mention exchanging various supplies in the Palace of Rebirth.
Although there are many complaints among the cultivators in the world, the Palace of Rebirth is not subject to the control of the various states.
He simply sent the questioning back on the grounds that all the treasures were not ready.
Putting away the [Decree of Rebirth] solemnly, Xu Bai suddenly asked before leaving: "Master Nangong, before Peng Qing died, he said that a thief had shortened his lifespan..."
"Is it true?" Xu Bai lowered his voice.
"If it is true, then it can only be suppressed temporarily, not forever."
Nangong Shirong was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Since everyone can be resurrected, life span and the like are not that important."
"For us, achieving immortality is simply an unattainable fantasy. If that's the case, why bother with so much?"
Nangong Shirong paused, then changed the subject: "However, not all cultivators in the world can be as open-minded as I am. Sooner or later, someone from all over the world will notice this. It cannot be suppressed."
"What we have to do is to make sure this incident does not break out in Tianliang Province."
Nangong Shirong said coldly.
His words were tantamount to confirming the authenticity of Peng Qing's words before his death.
Xu Bai remained silent and nodded heavily.
On the way to say goodbye, Xu Bai's mind was full of thoughts: "Shorten his lifespan..."
"It is the necessary means for the Heavenly Venerable of Rebirth to go against the principles and complete the resurrection of the true spirit of the cultivator."
"still……"
"Want to emulate Ruomu from ancient times?"
This Heavenly Lord of Rebirth, from revealing his tracks to officially going against the will of nature.
They all reveal a hint of weirdness.
"The Mysterious Mirror of Heaven replaces Heaven."
"Goddess of Heaven, take Ruomu as your replacement."
…
Xu Bai suddenly thought of something and his steps and body suddenly froze.
Just like the Purple Sky Lord before, he looked up into the sky imperceptibly.
Then he quickly lowered his head without leaving a trace and hurried away.
——
Tianquan Prefecture, in the Shuofeng Villa.
"Brother Li?"
Shuo Feng's voice sounded somewhat surprised.
In the competition between the two just now, Shuo Feng was having a great time.
Li Fan was suddenly stunned, and the attack that he could have easily avoided hit him directly.
The mighty sword energy swept across the sky, directly cutting Li Fan's lower body into nothingness.
Fortunately, this is the era of new laws.
This minor injury is not a big deal for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
In just a breath, amid the slight roar of the cave, Li Fan's body quickly recovered.
Li Fan looked apologetic: "I have only mastered this life-severing magical power not long ago. I have been fighting with you, Brother Shuo, for days, and I have become a little distracted."
Shuo Feng suddenly realized, "I was careless. I was so excited that I forgot that this kind of top-level magical power would consume a lot of energy."
"Hahaha, it's all my fault for being too excited. I haven't encountered such a miraculous method in a long time."
"It can even affect my control of the sword..." Shuo Feng praised.
"Brother Li, please take a rest for a while."
As he spoke, the sword flashed, and Shuo Feng cut off a few strands of white hair on his head.
Then he let out a loud roar, and his entire body moved like a snake shedding its skin.
The old and dilapidated body was completely stripped off like "taking off clothes".
Shuo Feng, who had regained his youthful strength, flicked his fingers and turned his old body into ashes.
He sighed, "Fellow Daoist, your magical power of [Drawing a Thread to Cut Life] is truly extraordinary. In terms of its actual combat effect, it is the only one I have ever seen in my life."
"If it weren't for my special physique, I probably wouldn't be able to fight you so recklessly."
"If an ordinary cultivator is hit by your magical power, he will probably die in less than half a day."
Li Fan pretended to be exhausted and waved his hand: "Don't mention it. Although I worked hard to create it, it's a pity that it can't keep up with the changes of the times."
"Now that the Palace of Rebirth stands in the sky, everyone can be resurrected. My magical power is very strong, but the deterrent effect is several times weaker. Anyway, everyone can be resurrected, so what if the body is broken?" Li Fan sighed.
Shuo Feng shook his head: "Brother Li, there is no need to be modest. Resurrection..."
"snort."
"A truly powerful person in the world would definitely not ignore your magical power. With this move alone, you have surpassed countless self-proclaimed heroes in the world."
"Well, it's time to improve your treatment. It's a bit unfair to you to be just a junior priest."
Shuo Feng touched his chin and spoke slowly.
