Chapter 140 With You
After entering the Sword Sect's main hall, everyone discovered that today's regular meeting had ended and the disciples were walking out one after another.
Du Xueling grabbed a disciple and asked where the second elder was. The disciple said that the second elder and the eldest senior brother were waiting for them in the inner room.
Nan Wang was not surprised that the Second Elder knew they were coming. After all, they had just taken An Nuo away from Panlong Palace, and the disciples in Panlong Palace must have gone to complain to the Second Elder.
After entering the inner room, the first people I saw were the first true disciple Zhu Tianque and... the second true disciple Chu Songping.
Chu Songping glanced at everyone coldly without saying a word. Everything was implied.
——You won’t bring him to the true teachings gathering, right? Haha.
Nan Wang's momentum weakened a lot. Du Xueling ignored the topic and Zhan Chenming quietly hid behind the spiritual branch.
Lingzhi pouted and complained: "I told you to call him a long time ago, really..."
The second elder came out from the side and said cheerfully to everyone:
"Please take a seat. It's a rare opportunity for all of you to gather together. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."
In addition to the second elder, there were six true disciples plus An Nuo, a total of seven people, but there were only six cushions. Fortunately, An Nuo didn't care at all. He turned into his original form and nested in Nanwanghuai, getting himself the most perfect extra seat.
The second elder glanced at An Nuo and said jokingly, "Isn't the Immortal Venerable going to take the seat?"
Tutu took a deep breath and shook her head frantically:
“Chichichichi!”
I'm really not an immortal!
The second elder laughed and said, "Haha, sorry, sorry, you defeated the demon army in front of everyone that day. Your strength was so amazing. It would be hard for everyone to not recognize you as an immortal."
Having said that, he turned to look at the disciples with sharp eyes and said, "Ask me whatever you want. I will tell you everything I know."
Nanwang spoke first, but he did not ask any questions. Instead, he explained for his own rabbit, "When Nuonuo was swallowed by the Central Plains Secret Realm that day, the dragon curse on her body was activated, so she suddenly burst out with abnormal power. We also encountered a similar thing in the Immortal Fox Secret Realm. The senior sister and the others were also there at that time..."
Du Xueling shuddered: "Yes! I saw it!"
In fact, she knew nothing and saw nothing.
That day in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, when Annuo appeared in front of them, he was skewered by the monster's teeth.
But it’s not a big deal, such a small matter…
Nan Wang looked at Du Xueling helplessly and continued, "The senior sisters were there at the time, but they didn't see Nuonuo show his power. They only saw the monster - Tong Yan, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was blind in one eye and had five claws broken. That was done by Nuonuo."
Du Xueling: “…”
An Nuo: “Chichichi.”
Really? Why don't I remember?
Nanwang said, "You have no memory of each time the curse occurred, and after the first time the curse occurred, even your consciousness returned to the Panlong Palace, so naturally you have no memory of what happened in the secret realm."
An Nuo: “Chichichi.”
Why is this happening?
Nan Wang looked at the Second Elder and said, "I need to ask you what you are doing, Immortal Venerable."
The second elder sighed and told everyone a story that was passed down by word of mouth but not everyone knew it even among the true disciples.
…
Five hundred years after Long Wang left, Ye Ku was approaching his 150th birthday.
Just as Qi Liao Ling Long Xin said, Ye Kuo forcibly activated the Heart Contract, split his consciousness into pieces, and followed Long Wang to reincarnation.
The fragments of Long Wang's consciousness did not reincarnate at the same time, but some occurred one after another, some overlapped and some intertwined. For Long Wang, this was not a problem. No matter how the Xi Lin ceremony was performed, it was a perfect ceremony of deification.
However, for Ye Kuan, the situation was different.
Every time his consciousness is torn away from him, it is a heart-wrenching punishment. Due to the uncertainty of reincarnation time, he suffers the pain of being cut into pieces all the time. What is even more sad is that no piece of the torn away consciousness can come back, which is equivalent to the manual version of the soul being scattered.
When Ye Kuan's consciousness was stripped to a certain extent, he could no longer hold on even with the protection of the dragon clan's pledge of life and death.
The heart-to-heart bond that Long Ye left for Yin Chanli allowed the short-lived Golden Chan to live for two thousand years. However, the heart-to-heart bond that Long Wang left for Ye Cu ended Ye Cu's life five hundred years later.
At the beginning, Ye Cuo, who had lost consciousness, had just fallen into a long sleep and could be awakened by others. But later, he lost consciousness for longer and longer periods of time, and his memory became more and more confused. The separated consciousness had experienced hundreds of reincarnations and had tens of thousands of years of experience, while only five hundred years had passed in the Qingyun Realm.
During the five hundred years, Ye Gu guided countless ordinary people in Qingyun Realm to embark on the path of cultivating immortals. Because the dragon clan's skills not only include methods of cultivating with spiritual energy, but also methods of cultivating with demonic energy, Ye Gu also had many cultivators of magic under his command. However, the environment in the Central Plains was not suitable for the survival of demon cultivators, so the demon cultivators left Qingyun Sect and moved to the north to establish their own sect.
However, no matter how other sects in the outside world develop, Qingyun Sect will always be the unshakable number one sect. Especially after the six magical artifacts were produced, true disciples were born, which quickly raised the overall cultivation level of Qingyun Sect to a higher level.
Compared to ordinary cultivators, these true disciples chosen by the divine weapon have astonishingly high talents in cultivation. They have made immeasurable contributions in both conquering secret realms and studying the techniques, mental methods and various secret techniques left behind by Long Wang.
After Ye Kuan personally taught two generations of true disciples, his consciousness, which could not bear the heavy burden, could no longer support it and he faced the moment of his death.
Even though he lived in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness and heartbreak every day, Ye Kuang never gave up his desire for life.
At the end of his life, Ye Kuo called the first true disciple who inherited the Dragon Soul at that time and asked him to do something for him.
——Try every possible means to pretend that the Immortal Master Ye Cuo is still alive.
As for how long he would have to pretend, Ye Kuang did not say. He did not have such high expectations for this, but he was just unwilling and reluctant to stop.
However, every true disciple who has learned the truth through word of mouth is doing his best to fulfill the instructions of his predecessor.
They continued to create human bodies of Ye Cu, regularly maintained the Panlong Palace, and used the formations and spells that Ye Cu left in the Panlong Palace and the Qingyun Palace to repeatedly emphasize the existence of the Immortal Master.
The Questioning the Immortal Ceremony held every ten years is the pinnacle of the acting skills of the true disciples. Under the watchful eyes of countless representatives of the immortal sects, they create the illusion that Jiang Ye is still alive, and this has lasted for so many years without revealing the truth.
Even Ye Kuang himself probably could not have imagined that this huge lie could last for thousands of years after his death.
If it weren't for the incident with Nanwang, perhaps Ye Kuang could live another thousand or ten thousand years...
After the second elder finished speaking, all the true disciples fell silent.
All the things that they couldn't understand were now explained.
Du Xueling clasped her hands together and trembled slightly, while Zhu Tianque shook his head with grief and pity.
A thin layer of sand condensed on Chu Songping's fingertips. This artifact, which was incompatible with the level of weapon refining in this world, finally had a reasonable origin.
Zhan Chenming drank the spirit wine in big gulps, and his expression was the calmest among everyone.
He was the oldest among all the people, and he had already guessed a lot about the things between Qingyun Sect, the Immortal Lord and the elders.
However, people's ability to endure is always limited. If you want to get to the bottom of everything, you may not be able to survive.
Anyone could die except him. His life was extremely valuable and must be used to fill the hole in the Central Plains Secret Realm. In order to live to the day when the Central Plains Secret Realm was filled, he had long since abandoned his dangerous curiosity.
Nan Wang looked at Ling Zhi: "Fifth Junior Sister, what does the Seven Secrets Linglong Heart say?"
"It, it said..." Lingzhi said awkwardly, "It said that if Ye Cu had listened to him and not messed around, he could have lived to see the day when Long Wang returned as a god. The reason why things turned out like this is that Ye Cu asked for death, so he deserved to die."
Nan Wang shook his head: "Fifth Junior Sister, tell him that Ye Kuang is not dead, he just followed Long Wang and he will be back soon..."
Qishu Linglongxin: [Nonsense, absolutely impossible! ]
Lingzhi said: "Qi Liao Linglong thought it knew, it was indeed his fault."
Seven Secrets of the Delicate Heart: [……]
Nan Wang rubbed An Nuo's head and asked, "Do you know who you are now?"
An Nuo looked confused: "Chi?"
Nan Wang did not blame him and patiently explained: "I am Long Wang's reincarnation, and you are a piece of Ye Kuang, the rabbit that belongs to me, and you came here with me."
Annuo squeaked happily several times.
“Chichichichi!”
Great, then we can be together forever.
