When he came, the Northern Region Lord was still thinking about why the person who died wasn't the old man from his family?
But now that he heard that the old emperor couldn't make it, the Northern Region Lord had a different feeling.
It wasn't sympathy!
It wasn't sadness either!
The Northern Region Lord only came to visit three times in 3,000 years and he didn't feel any sympathy or sadness.
It was just really complicated!
After all, this was his father!
"Bring me over." The Northern Region Lord said to the priest.
The priest brought the Northern Region Lord over right away.
Qingcheng Mountain was really high above sea level. They built a temple on the mountain ridge, built a spiritual bridge in the cloud ocean, and built a cauldron at the peak to absorb the sun and moon …
The Taoists on Qingcheng Mountain were all really secluded academies and didn't have much contact with the world.
They lived their own lives, roaming the North Sea in the morning and going out at night. They were really carefree and unrestrained.
Some of them were really strong but they still lived such lives. They didn't fight for supremacy and they didn't show their divinity. That was why Qingcheng Mountain had a bit of celestial energy.
Back then, the Retired Emperor had been a debauchee for thousands of years, having fun with different women, causing his body to be severely depleted.
A person who was at Countless Sands Realm actually broke his body. If this spread out, it would be a joke.
Moreover, this joke was from the royal family, from the previous old emperor.
After Emperor Tianqi found out about this news, he was furious and felt a huge headache for his father.
At that time, Emperor Tianqi wanted to send the old emperor over to the Northern Region Lord but he rejected him right away.
The Northern Region Lord wanted to accept the old emperor to gain a good reputation but the Northern Region Lord knew that his father was a pervert. Who knew what kind of trouble he would cause in the north?
Would he stop him?
Or should he turn a blind eye to it?
Or would he just let him do whatever he wanted?
When the Northern Region Lord thought about such a scenario, his head hurt.
Therefore, he directly suggested that the Retired Emperor be sent to Mount Qingcheng to cultivate his moral character and not allow the Retired Emperor to leave the mountain.
When Emperor Tianqi received this suggestion, he agreed with his brother's idea and sent the unwilling old emperor to Qingcheng Mountain to cultivate.
Everyone said that the old emperor wanted to live in Qingcheng Mountain, but that was just something Emperor Tianqi made up to protect his reputation.
The Retired Emperor struggled with all his might to allow a lecherous, hungry ghost to live in Daoist Mountain, never to leave the mountain, and to die of old age here.
However, the Taoist priests on Mount Qingcheng ignored him. Anyway, his body was already crippled. If he had the ability, he could go down the mountain by himself. They didn't care if he fell to his death, was attacked by wild beasts, or was bitten by poisonous snakes.
The Retired Emperor was terrified, so he gave up and stayed in Mount Qingcheng to live a hard life.
When the Northern Region Lord thought about how tough the old emperor had been, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He was also afraid that the priest in front would find it weird, so the Northern Region Lord used his powers to seal his laughter.
The peak of the mountain pierced through the clouds. Pure white snow covered the land, and the sea of clouds churned. The red sunset glow made this place look like a sea of fire.
It was breathtakingly beautiful.
In such a place, there was a Taoist temple. The Taoist temple was not big, and there were only a few rooms inside.
The priest said, "Northern Region Lord, the old emperor is inside. My Master said that he has reached the end of his lifespan and even gods won't be able to save him. Head over and take a look. Once he dies, you can bring him away or bury him."
The Northern Region Lord nodded, "Thank you, Priest."
The priest smiled and turned around to leave.
The priests on Qingcheng Mountain didn't care about fame and fortune. When they saw the Northern Region Lord, they only told the priest to welcome him. Unless there was a need, the priests wouldn't appear.
Creak!
The Northern Region Lord pushed open the door and walked in. He saw the old emperor.
The old emperor, who was old but strong and was dressed up in a flashy manner, had now turned into a thin old man with sparse hair and a face full of freckles.
He laid on the bed and couldn't move at all. He could only breathe weakly.
He didn't notice that the Northern Region Lord had entered.
The Northern Region Lord realized that the tough, perverted, and perverted father in his memory was really about to die.
The expressionless Northern Region Lord injected thick True Qi and started to activate the last bit of lifeforce.
Last glimmer of life!
The old emperor opened his eyes and looked at the Northern Region Lord. He was stunned and then like a drowning person seeing hope, he grabbed the Northern Region Lord's hand and squeezed it. "Son, bring me back to God Capital. Use the best herbs and pills to save me. I don't want to die!"
"I can't save him." The Northern Region Lord said coldly.
"What kind of attitude is that?" The old emperor was furious and chided.
"Do you want to kill me?"
"I have treated you well. At the start, I wanted to pass the throne to you but you didn't want it." After the old emperor chided, he started to talk about their relationship.
He just didn't want to die.
The Northern Region Lord shook his head, "Stop struggling and say a few words. I have activated all of your lifeforce. You only have one breath left. Once this breath is gone, then it will be over."
The Retired Emperor was stunned. He lay on the bed in despair and murmured, "Unfilial descendant, you and your brother are unfilial descendants. You actually locked me in this deep mountain forest for three thousand years. I was forced to death by you two."
The Northern Region Lord looked on silently. He allowed the old emperor to scold him and he didn't retort at all.
Instead, he was really curious. Didn't people like the old emperor reflect on themselves?
Before he died, didn't he even think about his gains and losses in this life?
Instead, he only wanted to blame others. Did he think that the world revolved around him?
The old emperor was such a person. Even when he was about to die, he still grumbled and even cursed.
That night, the wind and snow intersected and the temperature dropped by a lot.
In the room, the old emperor cursed the Northern Region Lord and Emperor Tianqi for an entire night before he finally swallowed his last breath.
The Northern Region Lord was scolded for an entire night, especially in the few minutes before he died. The old emperor was like the biggest demon in the world, cursing and scolding him viciously. Many of the Northern Region Lord had never heard of such things in his life.
That night, he had heard everything clearly.
Only now did the Northern Region Lord know that a person could be so vicious and selfish.
Not only him, but even Emperor Tianqi was scolded. Fortunately, he wasn't here, otherwise, the Northern Region Lord felt that with Emperor Tianqi's temper, he would have sent his father away.
The Northern Region Lord didn't retort and allowed his father to scold him. In truth, at the last moment, the old emperor wasn't in a clear mind and was just scolding based on instinct.
When the sun shone down on the clouds, the Northern Region Lord stood up and walked out of the room. He was expressionless and looked at the rising sun. He felt like his heart was wide and could contain the sun, moon, mountains, and oceans.
"I am about to break through!" The Northern Region Lord said calmly.
Sitting in the room and taking a scolding for an entire night, the knot in the Northern Region Lord's heart was untied.
His father, the person who gave him life, was a piece of trash, so why should he be angry over a piece of trash?
The death of trash was the elimination of a scourge for the world, which was actually a good thing.
The knot in his heart was suddenly cleared up. Seeing the beautiful scenery, he took a step forward.
Hong!
The Northern Region Lord stepped into the air and entered Legend Realm!
