Chapter 144 The One Who Has Everything

Unlike Nanwang, who only has half-baked "foresight", Qinghe is a true observer of the sky.

Even his disciples who had never actually come into contact with him were aware of his power.

Now, all the truth has come to light.

Nanwang is indeed not the fourth true disciple. The real fourth true disciple and his heavenly eyes were all left in the other world. From now on, the Qingyun Sect may no longer have the fourth true disciple.

The past is vivid, and the future is equally vivid.

The Second Elder looked at Nanwang and said, "Junior Brother, your observation is correct. In the book you saw, is the only way for Qingyun Sect to be destroyed?"

"This……"

Nan Wang was stunned.

He always thought that the original work could be changed, but that was not the original work at all, that was the future that Qinghe predicted.

Qinghe also saved many lives by observing the future. However, the secrets of the Central Plains collapsed and surged like a tide, and even Qinghe could not change it.

If that’s the case, then what about the demise of Qingyun Sect?

Nan Wang was worried for a moment, but soon came to his senses and analyzed calmly:

"In the original novel, the main reasons for the demise of Qingyun Sect were Tong Yan and Wu Ge. After Tong Yan obtained the six artifacts left by Long Wang, his strength was almost unmatched. After Wu Ge formed an alliance with him, the ghost corpses were at his disposal and helped him a lot. But now, the true disciples are all fine. Tong Yan's strength is far worse than that in the original novel. Not to mention ascending like in the original novel, it may not be possible for him to reach the level of incarnation in a short time. Wu Ge's ghost corpse has also been exposed long ago. Since Fifth Sister has come into contact with ghost corpses, it should not be difficult for her to work out a way to deal with them."

Lingzhi immediately supported his fourth senior brother: "Yes, I have plenty of ways to deal with ghost corpses."

Du Xueling's voice sounded hesitantly: "But...you said Tong Yan finally ascended? If he can ascend, then..."

Zhu Tianque sighed and said, "It seems that only people from other worlds can break through the confinement of this world."

Chu Songping said disdainfully: "I will not give the Chaos Golden Pill to someone named Tong."

Zhan Chenming thought for a moment and came up with a good idea: "Doesn't our Fourth Brother also have dragon blood? If Tong Yan can ascend, there's no reason why Fourth Brother can't. My iron bones are useless. If you need them, you can take them away anytime."

The second elder also nodded and looked at Nanwang with expectation.

Ascending from the realm of the dead, opening up a passage to the upper heaven, and turning the realm of the dead into a small world is the only way to solve the long-term invasion of the Qingyun realm by the secret realm. It has also been the long-cherished wish of Ye Kuo and countless later generations.

They are accustomed to sacrifice, and if a small sacrifice can bring lasting peace, then no one will retreat even a little.

"No, no, no. Although Tong Yan hates Qingyun Sect and Qingyun Realm to the core, if he really lets him ascend, no one will be able to escape harm, but... but I can't be the one to ascend."

Nanwang took a deep breath and said slowly:

"My cultivation has not been smooth, and it has something to do with Long Wang. I estimate that each of Long Wang's consciousness fragments is difficult to cultivate, because all the consciousness fragments have to return to one place after death to complete the final Xilin Ascension. It is impossible for a consciousness fragment to ascend inexplicably in the middle of the process... In my case, if I want to cultivate here to the point of being able to ascend, I am afraid it will take more than ten thousand years."

"If you can really ascend, it won't take tens of thousands of years."

A gleam of light flashed in the second elder's eyes:

"Even if our generation cannot see you ascend, there will always be the next generation, and the next generation, and there will always be a day when you will succeed."

Chu Songping took the initiative to say: "I will refine the immortal pill for you. If you eat more, you can always stack up your cultivation. If it really doesn't work, I can also study the magic pill."

Zhan Chenming also said: "The Demon Cult has spread a forbidden formation that can absorb the cultivation from others. When I went to the Northern Territory before, I asked about it and got a few jade slips, but I haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it's true or not."

Lingzhi immediately responded, "I also have a lot of magical instruments that can help improve cultivation. Wu Ge taught me a method of using spells and instruments to strengthen the soul. I can also teach it to you, brother. By the way, the ghost corpses at Wu Ge's place all have cultivation. They are not living people anyway, so they can be used in the formation of Third Brother to save some consumables."

"No, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Nanwang immediately spoke up to stop it.

The scene was so beautiful, a group of true disciples were seriously discussing the unorthodox ways to improve their cultivation.

If these words were to get out, Qingyun Sect would be demoted from the number one immortal sect to the number one demon sect.

"Here's what I think. The reason why Tong Yan ascended to heaven was probably not because of the artifacts. He collected the artifacts because he wanted to avenge Long Wang. Although the original novel didn't say it directly, Tong Yan should know the method to ascend from the dead world. We can force him to tell us the method first, and then see who is suitable to ascend using the same method. If it really doesn't work, then consider whether we can lend him a helping hand."

The second elder said approvingly, "That's a solution."

Nan Wang scratched his head and expressed his worries: "But it is not easy to catch Tong Yan. With Tong Yan leading the demon army to besiege Qingyun Sect, the relationship between the immortals and demons must have become extremely bad, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run..."

"Oh, you're wrong."

Du Xueling interrupted Nan Wang and said calmly:

"It's true that the relationship is extremely bad, but Tong Yan would bring a group of mortals to the foot of Qingyun Mountain every now and then to stir up trouble, clamoring for us to release their Demon Lord - that is, you. He even moved part of the Heavenly Demon Cult to the Central Plains and stationed them in Baiyun City near us. Calculating the time, he should be here in the next two days."

Nanwang: “???”

Is there such a thing?

Nan Wang said in confusion: "No, he is provocative no matter how you look at it. Is there no one to control him?"

Du Xueling spread his hands and said, "Who dares to care about him? Two years ago, it almost developed into a war between immortals and demons. So many immortal sects were present at the time. After everyone went back, they spread the story and distorted it beyond recognition... Since then, Qingyun Sect has received hundreds of letters from immortal sects every day. The gist of each letter is the same, hoping that we will not provoke Tong Yan and try to keep things peaceful."

Chu Songping interrupted coldly: "I have never been in favor of people who keep quiet. How can a famous and upright sect in the world look at the face of the demon sect?"

Du Xueling shrugged:

"Tong Yan didn't do anything out of line, he just made a minor fuss. After all, Fourth Junior Brother is in our hands, and he might be worried that we would do something bad to him in a fit of anger. We didn't do anything to him before, which was considered repaying evil with kindness. Now that Fourth Junior Brother has spoken, we should take advantage of the opportunity that Tong Yan has presented to us and catch the turtle in the jar."

Nanwang: “…”

How nice it is to repay evil with kindness, how nice it is to catch a turtle in a jar.

You really are worthy of being a senior sister.

…

Before taking action, Nan Wang still held out a last glimmer of hope for Tong Yan.

It’s not that he switched sides to the Demon Cult before the Qingyun Sect and the Demon Cult did, but Nan Wang felt that Tong Yan, as the male protagonist of the original novel, like Long Aotian, should not be so brainless.

Unfortunately, facts proved that Nan had too many delusions.

Looking at Tong Yan who had stepped into the trap on his own initiative and was trapped by the twelve magic arrays and could not move, Nan Wang sighed softly.

This tone of voice exhausted the last bit of fantasy he once had about the male protagonist of the original novel.

Tong Yan had been pinned to the ground, but there was no sign of panic on his face.

He looked at Nanwang, who was in good health, wagging his tail happily, like a dog that finally saw its owner after many years of absence:

"Father! You finally woke up. Did they do anything bad to you? Don't worry, I'm fine. They don't dare to do anything to me. If I don't go back within an hour, Wu Ge will bring the ghost corpse to rescue me!"

Chu Songping, who was watching, said arrogantly, "Let her do it. I don't mind letting this senior experience the power of Zhijing."

Du Xueling glared at Chu Songping and said, "Be careful with your words."

The second elder is still here. You said bad things about Wu Ge in front of the old man. Are you afraid that people will not bear a grudge against you?

Lingzhi suggested in a cute way: "Let's keep Wuge alive. We still need her to help us make ghost corpses. It will be useful for our fourth senior brother to ascend to heaven in the future."

Du Xueling: “…”

This generation of junior brothers and sisters are too difficult to lead and cannot be educated at all.

Nan Wang walked to Tong Yan's side, squatted down, and said with a complicated expression: "Let me tell you the truth, I am not Long Wang, I am just a part of his consciousness, a reincarnation."

"Then you are also my sub-father! You...you are also my sub-father."

Tong Yan's eyes were red.

When he appears as Tong Yan, he always uses half-hearted disguise.

Now, Nan Wang was watching helplessly a burly man with a stubble on his face making an expression of a cute girl crying. It was so eye-catching.

Nan Wang said awkwardly: "Although it may sound a bit weird, can you remove the disguise so that we can all be...honest with each other?"

Tong Yan obediently removed the disguise and turned back into Zhong Wangsheng's appearance.

Nan Wang heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “I see that you actually know everything. You know that I am not Long Wang, and you also know that An Nuo is not Ye Kua. Otherwise, when you attacked Qingyun Sect two years ago, you would not have brought An Nuo with you. Now, I will tell you one last thing—

"Long Wang was not killed by Ye Cu. He cleaned his scales for Ye Cu and left six artifacts for Ye Cu. Even the Seven Secrets Linglong Heart, which is his companion spirit, was left to Ye Cu by him. You have always hated the wrong person. Do you understand?"

Zhong Wangsheng shook his head stubbornly:

"No, I don't hate the wrong person. If it weren't for Ye Kuo, Yafu would never have come to the underworld, and he wouldn't have been refined into a divine weapon. The bodies of other true dragons were all enshrined on the altar, and only Yafu... those six divine weapons should be yours. You are my Yafu. If it weren't for Ye Kuo, you would be the proud son of heaven, the darling of heaven, instead of being like this now, with a low level of cultivation and nothing..."

"fart!"

Zhong Wangsheng's words successfully angered Nan Wang.

If it weren't for Long Wang's memory, Nan Wang might really feel that what Zhong Wangsheng said made some sense. However, when he actually witnessed Long Wang's life with his own eyes, he simply could not understand those people who insisted on imposing their will on others.

Everyone said good things for Long Wang, but what Long Wang really wanted in his life was so simple and humble. When he begged for a miracle, no one reached out to him.

Nan Wang gritted his teeth and said something that Long Wang had never said but had always been buried deep in his heart:

"Who wants to be the proud son of heaven? Who wants to be the favored child of heaven who loses all humanity after washing his unicorn? Pah! If I had a choice, I would rather die than become a real dragon. This bloodline that doesn't recognize any relatives is really a shame to me!"

Under Zhong Wangsheng's shocked gaze, Nanwang continued:

"You think Long Wang has everything, but his family is broken, his brothers are at odds, his spirit is annihilated, his flesh and blood are turned into an instrument, he gives up everything, and in the end he can't even stay with the person he loves.

"You said that my cultivation is low and I have nothing. Then let me tell you, I have Nuonuo, a master, brothers and sisters, and friends... Go to Longwang's grave and ask him if he is willing to exchange with me?

"He is willing, but I am not!"
