Sometimes, even when Jiang Zhige was not around, Nangong Rou and the other two girls would get together with Ning Qiu Shui to listen to her music and chat about women's topics.
Over time, Nangong Rou and Su Qingqiu, who were accustomed to this kind of life, gradually no longer felt any resistance to Ning Qiu Shui.
Immortals have long lifespans, and the emperor is as tall as the heavens, immortal.
Several years passed in the blink of an eye, but to some people, it seemed like just a blink of an eye.
On this day, Lu Tianjiao came to Bailulin again to discuss his understanding of Taoism with Jiang Zhige.
If spiritual roots, blood, and physique are the basic qualifications accumulated in the early stages of cultivation, then after one reaches the semi-emperor level, these things are no longer useful.
Only with such intangible things as understanding and chance can one find a glimmer of opportunity.
Lu Tianjiao practiced sword skills for a thousand years, and by chance he directly reached the ninth turn of the Heavenly Wheel, proving that he has the potential to become an emperor.
Unfortunately, over the past few decades, his realm has not improved at all, and he has never been able to touch the threshold of the Great Emperor, let alone cross that threshold.
Jiang Zhige took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully: "Brother Lu, you are only one step away from the emperor realm now. It is useless to rely on external forces. And the magic way I practice, based on my insights alone, will not be of much help to you."
Lu Tianjiao nodded and sighed. He naturally understood that if he wanted to reach the realm of the eternal and immortal emperor, he had to rely more on himself.
"Brother Lu, I can only remind you that you are cultivating the way of the sword that is unstoppable. If you only try to comprehend it, you will never be able to reach the realm of the emperor."
"Even in the divine realm, the origin of the Great Dao is limited to the birth of three great emperors. You must seize it."
"Seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and invade the mysteries of the sun and the moon."
Jiang Zhige also believed that Lu Tianjiao had the potential to become emperor, and he did not hesitate to explain.
Before Lu Tianjiao could reply, he heard Su Qingqiu, who was not far away, interrupt and say, "As for you, whose origin is incomplete, you'd better not mislead the young people."
"As the saying goes, Tao follows nature. The Great Emperor coexists with all things. If you keep trying to take it away, it will be even more difficult to gain recognition."
In fact, everyone has different opinions about Taoism.
Only when you have more insights can your realm be elevated.
Jiang Zhige and Su Qingqiu are two great emperors. What they said is not wrong. One lets Lu Tianjiao rely on himself to fight for the origin of the Dao, and the other lets Lu Tianjiao rely on his comprehension to gain recognition.
Lu Tianjiao seemed to be thinking about something, and murmured: "The contention is about the heaven and earth and all things, but this enlightenment, what is it about? And whose approval is it?"
He practices the way of the sword, and if he wants to become an emperor with the sword, perhaps he wants to gain the recognition of the three-foot-long sword in his hand.
While Lu Tianjiao was thinking, Nangong Rou suddenly asked Jiang Zhige: "By the way, brother, your origin of the Great Dao is incomplete, can you still recover to its peak state?"
“It’s difficult. It’s very difficult.”
Jiang Zhige sighed softly. The Dao source of the Emperor Realm is not as good as spiritual power and demonic energy. If it is severely damaged, it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to recover.
Nangong Rou looked dejected when she heard this. A hundred years later, a storm is coming and there will be a bloody battle in heaven.
If Jiang Zhige cannot recover to his prime, who can protect the billions of lives in the heavens? Jiang Zhige shook his head and said nothing. Not to mention that his origin was incomplete, even if he was still at his peak, he had no intention of fighting for the heavens again.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ning Qiushui seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, the ancient emperor's tomb seems to be opened. Junior brother, do you want to go and take a look?"
The Ancient Emperor's Tomb is a small world whose spatial order even surpasses that of the Xuancang Holy Land. It connects countless worlds. Most of the scattered Tao sources and soul fragments of the great emperors who passed away will fall into this world, so it is called the Emperor's Tomb.
Why the Emperor's Tomb attracts the fragments of the Emperor's soul has not been explained to this day.
The space channel therein is also very special. Unless the right time comes, even the great emperors will find it difficult to enter.
Every 120,000 years, the spatial order of the Emperor's Tomb will collapse, and strong people in the Wanxiang Realm will be able to set foot in. Every 500 years, the spatial order of the Emperor's Tomb will loosen, and strong people in the Wenxuan Realm and above can go there.
Now, it is another five hundred years, and the space in the Emperor's Tomb will be loose for at least ten years.
The ancient emperor's tomb is mysterious and vast, with many soul fragments of the supreme emperor and the scattered source of Tao. If Jiang Zhige wants to seek an opportunity to restore his origin, the emperor's tomb is a good place.
Jiang Zhige happened to have nothing else to do, so he nodded and said, "We should go take a look."
Whether for self-protection or to plan for the future, he had to recover to his peak condition as soon as possible.
"Brother, are you going to the Emperor's Tomb? I want to go with you!"
Nangong Rou's eyes lit up when she heard this. After holding back for several years, she finally had the chance to go out for a walk with Jiang Zhige.
Jiang Zhige realized that something was wrong and was about to refuse when he heard Su Qingqiu say, "Then I'll go with you. There are endless dangers in the Emperor's Tomb. Only with me here can you be safe."
Mo Ziyan's eyes showed anticipation, and she also volunteered: "Master, although my flute music is not of much use, it can help you in the battle."
Facing the Great Emperor, although her flute music does not have much killing power, it can play a vital auxiliary role.
Jiang Zhige suddenly felt a headache. He knew that as long as one person asked, Su Qingqiu and the other girls would have to go with them.
"In that case, then I..." Seeing that the three women were going together, Ning Qiu Shui subconsciously wanted to follow, but when she saw Jiang Zhige's helpless expression, she gave up the idea.
"Then I'll stay in Bailulin and wait for you to come back."
There was a smile in Ning Qiu Shui's eyes, making it impossible to tell her true thoughts.
Jiang Zhige breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Ning Qiu Shui was less of a worry.
Nangong Rou couldn't wait any longer, so she took Jiang Zhige's hand and said, "Let's go now, brother!"
Jiang Zhige couldn't refuse, so he could only agree: "Forget it, you all should be careful about your own safety when the time comes."
Now everyone is very excited. In fact, even Jiang Zhige and Su Qingqiu have never personally set foot in the mysterious and vast imperial tomb.
If there are dangers lurking inside, there will be no good ending if you just go there for fun.
"Come with me, I know the location of the Emperor's Tomb."
Su Qingqiu didn't hesitate at all and immediately turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
When Jiang Zhige and others left one after another, a hint of melancholy flashed across Ning Qiu Shui's eyes, and she turned to look at Lu Tianjiao.
"Lv Jianzun, aren't you going with us?"
Lu Tianjiao is now stuck at the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Wheel. Perhaps he can find an opportunity to break through by going to the Emperor's Tomb.
Lu Tianjiao pointed at himself, shook his head and laughed, "Me? I'd better forget it."
He hadn't fought side by side with Jiang Zhige for many years, and he really wanted to go and see it together. However, Nangong Rou and the other two girls were all following, so wouldn't it be very annoying for him to be there? "Senior Sister Qiushui, Brother Jiang is so lucky to have you."
"You're kidding. With his status, he can summon thousands of beauties with just a wave of his hand."
