Beauty helps me achieve immortality

in the hall.

As Nangong Cang finished speaking, the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

Zhao Qing and his senior sister exchanged glances... somewhat helpless and speechless.

To be honest...

Nangong's attitude was truly sincere.

See what it means.

It was clearly a roundabout way of trying to find out if Qingjun and Fenghuang had any instructions.

It would be good to reflect on this and figure out what he, the new master of Cuiyuan, should do in the future, so that at least we would have some idea in mind.

But the problem is.

——I’m sorry.

The Demon Court offered no guidance or instructions.

The phoenix never came.

Qingjun did come... but she didn't seem to care much about what the Nangong family would do.

now.

Zhang Jin hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face as he slowly shook his head: "Senior is too kind."

"The lineage of Emerald Mandarin Duck is ranked alongside Blood-Clad One in the Twelve Towers of the Jade Capital."

"My junior brother and I came here to offer our congratulations and attend the ceremony; our master gave us no instructions whatsoever."

"Furthermore, we are of limited knowledge and experience, and it is not appropriate for us to speak recklessly, lest we mislead our seniors' decisions..."

This is how Sister Zhang responded.

It wasn't exactly a flimsy excuse.

To be honest... even if she wanted to give advice on how Cuiyuanlou should act in the future, she couldn't.

Even more.

This place is a complete pool of murky water.

It's possible that all factions are watching to see what stance and actions the Nangong Cuiyuan faction will take next.

The new owner of Cuiyuan Tower was extremely cautious and dared not make any rash moves.

Ultimately, Yujing was a large, makeshift operation, a situation that most people hadn't anticipated...

at the moment.

Upon hearing this, the new owner of Cuiyuan sat silently on the stone steps, her gaze still fixed on the three of them.

There were no further words to say for the time being.

Since ascending to the position of Jade Mandarin Duck, I have felt extremely cautious, as if walking on thin ice.

Even if some host were to give him some instructions, he would at least have a general idea of ​​what to expect.

Now look what's happened... they say it's a seven-veined palm technique.

But none of the seven factions gave any orders!

Even the Demon Court, which was most likely to give an explanation to the Nangong Clan, did not reveal any intention.

What will happen to the Nangong clan?

Does she really think she's the owner of the Jade Mandarin Duck Pavilion...?

Current situation.

He really dared not make any decisions. Let alone opening a holy land and shaping stars, even relocating his clan back to Yujing Prefecture... he needed to consider whether it was feasible.

After all, I'm not alone.

If it were just me, the owner of the Jade Couple Pavilion, I would boldly and decisively tackle any situation in the capital.

The main reason is that the entire Nangong bloodline is behind him.

I fear that this mighty ancient clan will be utterly destroyed...

The main hall fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Qing and the other two looked respectful, their eyes downcast, listening intently.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Jade Mandarin Duck Pavilion sat on the half-step, lost in thought, his cloudy eyes filled with contemplation...

at last.

a moment.

The old man smiled and shook his head, which put Zhao Qing and Sister Zhang at ease.

"That's all..."

"I will not make things difficult for you three young friends."

"The fact that the Nangong family now has this empty title of Cuiyuan is all due to the favor of the Demon Court."

"If Qingjun Fenghuang has any instructions later, I hope you will inform Nangong Shi so that I can make appropriate arrangements."

Hmm... that's more like it.

OK!

Seeing this, Zhao Qing didn't say anything and gave his senior sister a look.

The two gestured and prepared to get up and take their leave.

however--

Right now!

A vast and powerful pressure descended upon the main hall, causing the three of them to focus their gazes and look up!

There stood the new owner of the jade pendant.

Reaching out, it actually tore through the void!

A vast and powerful aura surged around him, his white hair flew wildly, and his gaze was sharp!

In a blink of an eye!

He retrieved a strange object resembling ice jade from the rift filled with chaotic void currents!

蝉！

A moment!

Zhao Qingjian's eyes narrowed sharply, and the Azure Dragon's Reverse Scale in his Life Palace trembled violently!

It's not out of fear!

It was an unprecedented exhilaration!

Even more so, he could feel that his own fragments of the Great Dao were being affected!

It possessed a power akin to being forcibly drawn by Qingjun!

It emanated from the cold jade cicada in the old man's hand!

I grass!

Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin exchanged glances, their expressions becoming extremely serious, fearing that the old man might be about to make a move against them!

In particular, the remains of both individuals were affected!

That is absolutely a top-tier treasure!

"Ah……"

"Don't be in a hurry, young friend."

Nangong Cangyuan's laughter echoed, and the ripples in the void before him seemed to heal as if from a wound, while his flowing beard and hair fell down...

"It's just a small gift."

"Please have these two messengers deliver this to Qingjun."

A small gift!

Zhao Qing's heart skipped a beat. They're already sending gifts? Sending gifts to Qing Jun?

???

"This is--?"

He asked directly, and even though he knew how incredibly valuable it was, he certainly didn't reach out to take it.

After all, it's not for myself.

It's not worth it for yourself.

As for Qingjun, whether she would accept it or not is still a question.

"The Three Corpses of Demons...?"

Zhang Jin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly and murmured to herself.

If she hadn't once replaced Qingjun in overseeing Longyuan, she wouldn't have understood what it was at all.

But now.

However, it was barely possible to understand...

This is one of the three corpses of a Dao-merging being severed!

And it's from the demon race!

Those who can sever the three corpses and achieve Dao Integration must be among the most powerful beings in the world.

Lianyin's cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the Dao Integration Realm, and she is still a long way from understanding the Three Corpses!

The three corpses severed by the Immortal Lord are related to the corresponding changes in the Great Dao between heaven and earth. Such an earth-shattering immortal object would indeed make the Jade Capital Pavilion Master lower his gaze!

The Nangong family is truly remarkable...

"Ah."

“Peng Ju”.

Nangong Cangyuan held the jade cicada in his hand and sighed softly with deep emotion.

He glanced at Zhang Jinyi with surprise.

I don't understand how a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could recognize this thing.

But it would be better if we got to know each other...

"The clan's heritage left by the first ancestor."

"Passed down from generation to generation."

As the old man muttered to himself, his gaze was intense, as if he were also examining the precious treasure in his hand.

Zhao Qingze and the other two focused their gazes on each other, watching quietly amidst their shock.

All that could be heard was the soft narration of the new owner of the jade pendant.

"Our ancestors were active before the great calamity, before the fall of the Jade Capital."

"The watery calamity at that time... was called the Sea of ​​No Return."

No return to the sea...

Zhao Qing nodded slowly, his gaze serious and solemn.

He knew about the Sea of ​​No Return; he had seen it on the Nine Swords Immortal Path, which was a watershed tens of thousands of years ago.

"In the Sea of ​​No Return, there are creatures created by heaven and earth."

"The bell-shaped tree is born from this."

Hear this.

Zhang Jinyi also nodded solemnly, her posture respectful and dignified, watching Zhao Qing with unspoken understanding.

The sycamore tree is the true form of the Lord of Purple Pearl!

Although the ruler tree is not a living being, it is still a precious bloodline treasure of the dragon race!

now.

The two roughly understood that the foundation that Nangong Cangyuan had inherited for ten thousand years might be related to the earth-shattering creature in the Boundless Sea in the past.

as predicted.

Nangong Cangyuan gazed intently at the jade cicada in his palm.

"A Daoist corpse."

"It was sealed away within the clan for forty thousand years."

"It is only when the great building is about to collapse that we can access the treasures left by our ancestors..."

That concludes the discussion.

The old man paused for a moment, then finally looked away from the jade cicada in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the three princes.

Not surprisingly.

Zhao Qing and the other two... naturally looked puzzled and solemn.

See this situation.

The new owner of the jade pendant seemed helpless, and shook her head with a sudden smile.

"This item."

"It is the corpse of Peng Ju Dao, one of the living beings of heaven and earth and the startled cicada in the wind."

"Once one's cultivation reaches the pinnacle of the Void Refinement realm, one can consult this object... to connect with the Dao principles left behind by the Fallen Wind Cicada, and ascend to the realm of the Dao Integration Immortal Lord."

As he spoke, his palms clenched lightly.

He slowly closed his eyes and whispered, "Before the calamity, the immortal lords of the world were divided into those who had attained the Great Dao and those who had not."

"The one who is called the Great Harmony with the Dao is one whose body is one with a wisp of the primordial Dao essence."

"Ru Mengzhu and Ru Qingjun are both Dao Dao Immortal Lords who have forged their own paths."

Oh?

What about Xiaohedao?

Zhao Qing suddenly realized, and vaguely understood.

So it's just following the path others have taken?

This cicada is used to pave the way!

It can mold a minor Daoist!

Just as he was thinking this.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, another thought suddenly came to mind!

Nangong Cangyuan nodded solemnly and began to speak in a low voice...

"And most people in the world are in a state of minor harmony with the Tao."

"Unable to forge his own path, he merged with a wisp of acquired Dao essence between heaven and earth."

"All living beings are like this."

"But more often than not, they spend their entire lives stuck at the point of breaking through the Void Refinement Path."

talking.

His gaze was deep as he looked at the cicada in his hand: "If any of these people have the opportunity to engage with this thing and resonate with the Great Dao left behind by the Wind-Startling Cicada... it would be equivalent to merging with a wisp of acquired Dao essence and ascending to the realm of Immortal Lord!"

The Essence of the Acquired Dao!

Zhao Qing:?

Zhang Jinyi:?

Senior Sister knew about Zhao Qing's fragments, and at this moment, a flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes as she glanced almost imperceptibly at her junior brother.

Zhao Qing, of course, also felt extremely strange.

He understood.

In other words, having this cicada is equivalent to having a wisp of acquired Dao essence, which allows the cultivator to follow the path after the fall of the startled cicada and thus create a small Dao-merging realm.

But the problem is...

A thought flickered in his mind, and a virtual panel appeared before his eyes.

【Taoist Essence: Acquired (130/100000)】

???

You mean the acquired Dao essence?

I have it.

It's just not finished yet...

Zhao Qing suddenly understood, feeling strangely excited and filled with unprecedented anticipation.

This is what I always give when I discuss Dao with Chu Xin and my senior sister, and we cultivate together using our primordial spirits!

So to say.

I also have a little cicada, it just needs some time.

Zhao Qing's mood was extremely strange at this moment.

I was just awestruck by the astonishing depths of the Nangong Ancient Clan.

But when you turn your head to look...

So, the rich guy was actually me?

He remained calm and focused intently on the old man.

Meanwhile, Sihe and I were pondering whether Sihe was a Great Daoist or a Lesser Daoist...

But for that.

Si He didn't think too much about it and muttered bluntly, "Don't worry about it. It's already open, why are you still concerned about its size?"

"The bigger one, of course."

"Those with attachments are fragments, why are they categorized like this?"

Oh... then it's alright.

Zhao Qing remained silent, seemingly gazing solemnly at the Master of Cuiyuan Tower, but in reality, he was intently examining his virtual panel, filled with anticipation and reminiscence.

however.

He was thinking to himself that he also had something like this.

Nangong Cangyuan, of course, was filled with reluctance.

He whispered, "This thing is inherently meant to sculpt a celestial lord for the Nangong clan."

"Unfortunately, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one has ever been willing to use it."

"Now... I will entrust this item to Qingjun for arrangement."

"It seems that this item might have a familiar feel to Qingjun... It's connected to an old friend from the past."

Zhao Qing: ...

He was speechless for a moment, then gave his senior sister an inquiring look.

after all.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to give a generous gift.

It certainly cannot be described as massive bleeding.

This means they've directly pledged allegiance to the demon court...

A celestial lord!

Moreover, it is a celestial treasure that can be chosen and selected by any immortal lord who is in the Void Refinement stage.

But then again.

You're just giving this to both of us?

You really dare?

now.

Zhao Qing and Zhang Jin remained silent.

They completely disregarded the issue of the Nangong clan's charisma.

Instead, he was wondering... why he would go all in?

Nangong Cangyuan watched as the two remained silent.

But he didn't hesitate much.

He sighed with a wry smile, saying, "It is precious, but it is also worthless."

"For the Nangong clan now, having one more Lesser Dao Integration Realm expert won't cause any major upheavals."

"Since Qingjun intends to cultivate the younger generation..."

talking.

He grabbed the jade cicada with his other hand and then waved his sleeve!

Boom-!

A deep, resounding thud echoed through the hall.

Another supreme treasure flew out from his sleeve, swelled in the wind and transformed into a large cauldron, which landed in the center of the palace!

Nangong Ding!

Zhang Jin and Zhao Qing exchanged glances: "What does the host mean by this?"

"This disciple does not understand."

As the two spoke, the whale girl remained silent and watched quietly, deeply shocked.

I dare not think about it!

The owner of Cuiyuan Tower summoned them over in the middle of the night.

...Gold coins explode!?

To be honest... the true foundation of the Nangong Ancient Clan is an absolute gold coin, even for Xueyi.

Nangong Cangyuan's gaze was intense as he scanned the three of them and pondered for a moment.

He whispered, "I am different from those immortal lords; after all, my lifespan is not long."

"Nangong Yao is also a direct descendant of the Blood Soul."

"Let her keep the clan cauldron as a companion during her cultivation..."

"Now Yao'er follows Qingjun."

"Young friend Zhao, how about you keep this item safe for her?"

Taoist soldiers!

Zhao Qing slowly withdrew his gaze from the large cauldron.

Good guy.

Besides the gifts for Qingjun, there were also gifts for myself!?

Uh... no.

It was left for Nangong Yao.

He was speechless for a moment, but he understood perfectly well.

These two earth-shattering Dao-unifying treasures cannot change the current situation where the Nangong clan is deeply mired in the Jade Capital vortex.

As for what Xiao Qingying will think about it, that's not something he needs to worry about.

Zhao Qing; ...

That?

Should I accept it?

He looked at the cauldron and genuinely wanted to reach out and touch it.

For him, the Jade Cicada wasn't unique.

But this cauldron, as the guardian weapon of the Nangong Ancient Clan, was something that he and Si He had never actually handled before...

See this scene.

Zhang Jin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He glanced at his junior brother with a hint of surprise, then looked back at Old Man Nangong.

"What does the original poster mean—?"

What does this mean?

What does it mean that Zhao Qing preserved it on his behalf?

Can't I save it for you?

Are you playing tricks on me?

"hehe."

The owner of Cuiyuan Tower rose from the halfway point of the steps.

He slowly stepped forward and approached His Highness.

Seeing this, Zhao Qing and the other two naturally got up and followed behind, heading towards the giant cauldron together.

The old man reached out and stroked the giant cauldron...

It looked as if he was caressing a beloved girl.

His fingertips traced the cold surface of the cauldron, his gaze filled with reluctance.

"This instrument."

"It is called Zhenyue."

"It was originally an extremely fierce and deadly treasure for attack."

"Unfortunately, it has been sealed away for a long time and has never seen the light of day. It was only used to suppress the spiritual veins and the clan's fortune."

"Now, young friend, take it with you. It will be useful for refining pills on a daily basis..."

"Since you are all of the same generation, how about having Nangong Yao carry the cauldron and serve the Blood Robe lineage?"

Zhao Qing: ? ?

No.

Wait a minute.

What does it mean to serve the Blood Robe Clan?

Explain yourself clearly!

My senior sister is watching from the side!

He turned his gaze away from the cauldron and glanced at Sister Zhang's expression.

The senior sister laughed mockingly, gave her a disdainful glare, and remained silent...
