"You're saying... that the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor who rules over all realms is a woman?"
Inside the Heavenly Mystery Cave on Immortal Mountain.
Upon hearing what the old man Tianji said, Si Qiushan was taken aback, and many memories flashed through her mind in an instant.
"Judging from your reaction... you must have always thought... Su Nian was the reincarnation of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, right?" The old man's voice was low and dry, like an old tree about to die, speaking with its last bit of strength.
Si Qiushan nodded.
She recalled the storytellers in the teahouse and asked, "Those storytellers, were they all yours...?"
The old man of the heavenly secrets nodded.
"Indeed, most of them are my disciples, who are on my orders to spread messages in the mortal world."
"Since the real Reincarnation Immortal Emperor is not Su Nian, why do you let all the rumors point to him?"
The old man of the heavens raised his deep eyes, his aged eyes filled with regret and sighs.
"Because... Su Nian is not the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, but he possesses even more monstrous talent than a true Reincarnation Immortal Emperor."
Si Qiushan listened quietly as the old man of the Heavenly Secrets recalled the past and continued, "Back then, Su Nian ascended to the Immortal Realm with the most monstrous talent in the world. He was arrogant and domineering, ignoring the conspiracies and schemes of the Immortal Realm, and relied on the sharp sword in his hand to carve out a bright and righteous path."
Although the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor at that time was an Immortal Emperor with supreme power, he lacked some of the toughness and methods.
The Immortal Realm is in chaos, with various forces vying for a share of the Immortal Realm and its domains, causing the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor a great headache.
But it was precisely at this moment that Su Nian's powerful appearance changed the landscape of the Immortal Realm.
He helped the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor quell the fragmentation of power among warlords and rose all the way to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, earning the title of Sword Emperor.
Just when everyone thought the Sword Emperor would become a powerful general under the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor, he announced to the entire Immortal Realm in a high-profile manner that he would marry the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.
“This…” Si Qiushan was speechless.
I never expected Su Nian to have such a proud and unruly side.
But that makes sense.
Before entering the cycle of reincarnation, Su Nian was a proud cultivator with a strong sense of justice.
His talent was unparalleled; he was impetuous in his youth, yet also somewhat reserved.
Even after going through countless reincarnations, he still retains some of his original pride.
"And then what happened?" Si Qiushan asked curiously.
"Later... Faced with Su Nian's domineering declaration, the Samsara Immortal Emperor was naturally furious. Although Su Nian was handsome and talented, as long as the Immortal Emperor was still alive, he could never become the new Immortal Emperor. There was a gap between them like a chasm. So... Su Nian was severely beaten by the Samsara Immortal Emperor."
Si Qiushan: "..."
"And then?" she continued.
"Considering that Su Nian had performed the merit of exorcising evil and promoting good, the Immortal Emperor did not punish Su Nian, but only made him suffer a little bit of physical pain. Afterwards, he rewarded him with an immortal house and countless immortal treasures, so that he could live a good life. However, Su Nian was not satisfied with such a reward. What he wanted was the Immortal Emperor himself."
Logically, Su Nian should have been executed for daring to be so disrespectful to the Immortal Emperor, but since he was also a meritorious official who helped quell the chaos in the Immortal Realm, she had no choice but to tolerate him. Whenever Su Nian went to the Immortal Palace to woo him, she would always be severely beaten by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. Over time, the Immortal Emperor's beatings became lighter and lighter, until finally… she could no longer bring herself to do it.
"She's fallen in love with Su Nian, hasn't she?" Si Qiushan guessed, her expression complicated.
The old man of the heavens nodded gently.
"This pull and tug has spanned thousands of years. For a quasi-Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Emperor, thousands of years is not a long time, but it has changed the heart of the Immortal Emperor."
She fell hopelessly in love with him, and then... an accident happened.
"What accident?"
The Celestial Mystery Elder sighed and shook his head, saying, "The group that Su Nian punished back then has returned to the mortal realm to cultivate again. They secretly plotted a conspiracy to take revenge on Su Nian. They specifically chose a day when the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor was away and killed Su Nian at the Burial Immortal Hill."
Si Qiushan: "..."
"By the time the Immortal Emperor returned, Su Nian had already perished completely. He was lifeless and had become a corpse."
After his death, the Immortal Emperor was filled with grief. She shed a few immortal tears, tears she had not shed in ten thousand years. In her rage, she slaughtered all the living beings of the clan that murdered Su Nian. Not to mention the nine clans with blood ties, even those with only the slightest connection were wiped out by the Immortal Emperor.
Even though he had avenged Su Nian, the pain in the Immortal Emperor's heart remained.
At this point, the Heavenly Mystery Elder couldn't help but sigh, "How difficult is it to make a True Immortal fall in love? Let alone the Lord of All Immortals, the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. The feelings that arose in her heart had penetrated to the bone marrow. She couldn't bear the thought that she had finally fallen in love with him, only to end up separated by life and death. So... she used her own source power, the Reincarnation Source, and injected it into Su Nian's body."
Si Qiushan's heart trembled slightly, and she murmured softly, "So... this is the source of the reincarnation origin within Su Nian's body?"
"Yes, for the Celestial Emperor, saving an ordinary person is an easy task, but Su Nian was injured in his Celestial Soul. Once the Celestial Soul is broken, he will never be able to be reborn. In order to allow him to enter the cycle of reincarnation smoothly, the Celestial Emperor gave him half of his power, and the other half of his power is hidden in this jar."
As the old man spoke, he pulled out an ancient bronze jar covered in patina from who-knows-where.
As he patted the ancient bronze jar, he said, "She relinquished 99% of her power, leaving only a tiny bit, which she used to reincarnate along with Su Nian."
Si Qiushan suddenly shuddered!
"I heard that Su Liuli found two children at the foot of Tianji Mountain back then, one was Su Nian, and the other... was Xu Xinrou?"
“That’s right…” the old man of the heavens said, each word shaking Si Qiushan’s brain.
"Xu Xinrou... is the true Reincarnation Immortal Emperor!"
