After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

Suffer for all living beings in the world?

Hearing this, Ji Chen couldn't help but frown and remained silent.

What does it mean?

He couldn't help but ask, wanting to know the answer.

But Ming Zun did not tell him. Perhaps it was because he was too weak and did not have the strength to respond to him. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the spot again, as if he had fallen asleep.

It was not until the next day that Mingzun woke up.

"I have been trapped here for hundreds of years. Although I have successfully entered the legendary holy realm, I have consumed too much of my energy to fight against the suppression of the Emperor's Scripture. Now I am almost exhausted and cannot continue to communicate with you."

Mingzun spoke and explained the reason.

Following Ye Huang, another saint was born in Eastern Wilderness.

But it appeared in the Changsheng Cave deep in this forbidden mountain and was suppressed for hundreds of years by a page of scriptures.

A saint has already understood the great principles of heaven and earth and can live for nearly five thousand years.

But now, Mingzun has only lived for a thousand years, and is about to die.

It is conceivable how much essence he has consumed over the past few hundred years in order to resist the suppression of the power of the Imperial Scripture.

Ji Chen was silent for a moment.

After a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any way to get you out?"

In terms of blood relationship, this is my maternal grandfather.

Although he had never met him before, Ji Chen had heard people talk about this legend more than once and had great respect for him.

Even if Mingzun is really about to die and will not live for too long, Ji Chen still hopes that he can escape from this predicament before he dies and stop suffering.

"The cost is too high and it is meaningless." He shook his head and seemed very calm. Over the past hundreds of years, Mingzun had already gotten used to everything and had made all the preparations in his mind, including being suppressed to death by this page of scripture.

Even if I could really get out alive, my life span is now running out and I'm afraid I won't be able to live for more than one or two years.

Ji Chen said nothing, just sat there in silence, looking at the still living legend in front of him.

Black shirt, white hair, and an ageless face.

He is like a green lamp, never extinguished. Although he looks only middle-aged, he has a head full of white hair, revealing the sorrow of time.

"Buzz!"

After a moment, Ji Chen flipped his palm and took out the seven-leaf bauhinia flower from the mysterious ring.

He broke off a purple leaf and handed it to Mingzun.

"This is……"

Ming Zun raised his eyes slightly, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He could feel the rich breath of life contained in this purple leaf, "Immortal Elixir!"

"Yes."

Ji Chen nodded, "This is what I got from the source mine, maybe it can help you prolong your life a little bit."

"It's too expensive. There's no need to do this."

Ming Zun shook his head, frowning slightly, "You are a divine body, and there is a calamity in your life. It will be difficult for you to practice the Way of Slashing. Although you may be able to compete with saints in the future with the strength of your physical body, if you don't practice the Way of Slashing, your life span will be limited. You won't live for many more years. Keep this divine medicine for yourself to prolong your life."

"A person who has achieved great perfection in Guixu can live for two to three hundred years. I am only about twenty years old now, so there is still a lot of time in the future, which is enough for me to find a way to break the life-threatening calamity of Zhan Dao. Please accept it, senior. Besides, this medicine has seven leaves in total, and I still have six leaves here, which is enough." Ji Chenyan said.

The elixir of immortality is extremely precious. It is a rare treasure from heaven and earth in ancient and modern times. Its value is even higher than that of the holy weapon.

If it were someone else, there is no way they would be willing to give out something like this.

But Ji Chen did not hesitate at all.

The main reason is that Mingzun and he have a blood relationship, otherwise, Ji Chen might not be willing to give it up.

Besides, the energy possessed by a living saint is truly enormous.

If Mingzun can really prolong his life with this magic medicine and leave this longevity cave alive, it will be an unimaginable huge benefit for Ji Chen.

Looking at the purple leaf handed to him by Ji Chen, Ming Zun fell silent.

Finally, he took the purple leaf and swallowed it.

Soon, Mingzun fell into a deep sleep again, like nirvana, and it was hard to tell when he would wake up.

Ji Chen sat quietly not far away from him, and took advantage of this time to ponder the Lingxu Sutra that was floating above Ming Zun's head.

This sutra is extremely complex, as if it was written down from a myriad of laws, and every character of the book contains endless information about the Tao.

These ancient characters are difficult for ordinary people to understand, but after careful consideration, Ji Chen was able to roughly understand their meaning.

In this way, half a month passed.

After half a month of pondering, Ji Chen has now understood the meaning of the first sentence of this ancient imperial scripture and successfully found his way into this scripture.

A month later, he mastered the second formula.

It was also at this time that Mingzun, who had been sleeping for a month, finally woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes. They were no longer as lifeless as before, and his complexion became much rosier, as if a vigorous life force was continuously flowing out of his body, as if the whole person had become much younger.

"Are you comprehending the Lingxu Sutra?"

Ming Zun was a little surprised. After waking up, he noticed the change in Ji Chen's aura and couldn't help but ask.

Ji Chen nodded, "I'm free anyway, so I have to find something to do while you're absorbing the power of the magic medicine."

"Can you understand the Lingxu Sutra?" He looked a little surprised.

This is an ancient scripture of the Great Emperor. It is extremely complicated and its ancient characters have long been lost to the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if such a page of scripture were placed in front of the world, not everyone would be able to truly understand it, let alone comprehend it.

During these hundreds of years, Mingzun had naturally tried to comprehend it.

But to this day, he hasn't even been able to fully grasp the first sentence of the formula.

Those ancient fonts are like heavenly books, which are too difficult to understand.

"I don't understand it, but I once tried to deduce it using the Empress's Lotus Magic Method, and found that they actually have some similarities. I pondered over it, and now I have successfully mastered the second of the ten sentences." Ji Chen said truthfully.

"Could it be that the rumors are true..."

Hearing this, Mingzun couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"What rumors?"

Ji Chen was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

"It is said that although the Empress is a purple lotus in human form, she is actually the adopted daughter of the Emperor. Legend has it that when the Emperor Lingxu traveled through the mortal world, he adopted a little girl and passed on his Taoist tradition to her."

Mingzun spoke up and told what he knew, "But later, this little girl never showed up in front of the world. An ancient sage deduced that Emperor Lingxu calculated the secrets of heaven and knew that a great catastrophe was coming and that ancient creatures from outside the domain would appear. Therefore, he sealed the little girl in a purple lotus, hoping to let her survive the troubled times safely."

Ji Chen was extremely surprised when he heard this, "You mean, that little girl is the Empress Zi Mengli in the future?"
