"My young friend, please wait!"
Lord Zeng stood up and shouted at Xu Que in surprise, "How can you escape from the Xuanzhen Continent if you leave like this?"
Xu Que stopped and turned around with a smile, "Lord Zeng, who said I'm going to escape? I'm just going back to cultivate in seclusion. After two or three years, I'll come back to kill the Emperor! "
Lord Zeng was speechless.
Although he admitted that Xu Que was very powerful, he didn't think he could kill the Emperor after two or three years of seclusion. Who would believe such a ridiculous thing?
However, he didn't care about this. Instead, he asked, "My young friend, even if you want to cultivate in seclusion, do you think there's still a place for you to stay in the Xuanzhen Continent?"
After saying that, he shook his head with a wry smile, "You took away the God-realization Tree, which will infuriate the Emperor. But he won't kill you in a hurry. According to my understanding of him, he will find you slowly and take back the God-realization Tree with great confidence! However, you took away his Imperial Palace, which is tantamount to letting the whole world know that you've humiliated him. He will definitely mobilize all the forces in the world to hunt you down! "
"That's not a big deal. I'll just leave the Xuanzhen Continent!" Xu Que shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Lord Zeng, let me tell you something. Actually, I'm … from the Four Great Continents!"
"What?" Lord Zeng was shocked and said in disbelief, "You're from the Four Great Continents? How … could this be possible? The Four Great Continents have been shackled for thousands of years. The shackles were about to be broken, but they were strengthened recently. How could you come here? "
"It's the Immortal Hall!" Jiang Hongyan replied in a low voice. Then she waved her hand, and a small Ancient Bronze Hall appeared in her palm.
When they came back from the Four Great Continents, this Immortal Hall disappeared together with them and entered Jiang Hongyan's body. She could control it like a Natal Magical Artifact!
"After I was killed, I was sent to the Four Great Continents by this palace. I was born in that land and grew up there. When I reached the Void Training Stage, I broke the shackles in this palace and obtained the inheritance of my previous life!" Jiang Hongyan said calmly with a complicated expression. It seemed that she was recalling the incident of her previous life.
"I see!" Lord Zeng's eyelids twitched the moment he saw the Longevity Hall. He nodded and said, "It wouldn't be strange if this hall had brought you back!"
"Oh, Lord Zeng, does that mean you also know the origin of this Longevity Hall?" Xu Que's interest was immediately piqued and he asked with a smile.
Lord Zeng nodded. However, he soon shook his head and said in a deep voice, "To be precise, I only know half of the history of the Hall of Immortality. In fact, I don't even know half of it. I should start from the Road of Heavenly Ascension …"
Inside the pagoda, Lord Zeng began to explain the origins of the Longevity Hall.
About 2,000 years ago, Lord Zeng was just a monk, and the Emperor was just one of the princes of the Tong Tian Nation.
That year, the Road of Heavenly Ascension opened, and a total of 18 entrances appeared on the Xuanzhen Continent.
The Human Clan, the Demon Clan, the Beast Clan, and the Heaven Orc Clan all fought to enter the Road of Heavenly Ascension.
Legend had it that the key to becoming an Immortal could be found at the end of the Road of Heavenly Ascension.
The young Lord Zeng, the Emperor, and all the other sovereigns naturally entered the Road of Heavenly Ascension.
After experiencing countless dangers, they successfully reached the end of the Road of Heavenly Ascension. However, they were blocked by a stone wall!
No matter what they did, they could not break the stone wall. Later, they found out that the wall could absorb all spiritual power. Magic arts were useless against it. Only brute force could break it!
However, there were no Physique Refining Cultivators among those who made it to the end. Hence, they chose to retreat. They planned to go back and find more Physique Refining Cultivators before coming back to break the stone wall!
However, when they returned, the stone wall had disappeared!
"It disappeared?" Xu Que was stunned when he heard that. Could this be the upgraded version of Ghostly Labyrinth? Even the wall was gone!
"That's right. The road is still the same, but the stone wall has disappeared. In its place is a huge White Jade Palace!"
Lord Zeng nodded. His gaze fell on Xu Que meaningfully. He smiled and said, "My young friend, the Imperial Palace that you took away is the White Jade Palace that we saw in the Road of Heavenly Ascension!"
"F * ck! No wonder … "Xu Que suddenly understood. No wonder a palace could become an Immortal Artifact. It had such a powerful origin. It came from a Road of Heavenly Ascension!
At that moment, Lord Zeng's gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Hongyan. He smiled and said, "When we returned to the old road, the Emperor brought hundreds of Physique Refining Cultivators with him. Hence, they moved the White Jade Palace out! However, we found another ancient palace suppressed under the White Jade Palace. It was the Immortal Palace in your hands. There was a stone coffin in the Immortal Palace, and a woman was lying in it! "
"What?" Xu Que was shocked. He looked at Jiang Hongyan because Jiang Hongyan had also been lying in the Immortal Palace!
However, Jiang Hongyan's face was full of surprise and confusion.
Lord Zeng did not keep her in suspense. He told her the truth. "That woman was your mother! Back then, the Imperial Palace and the Longevity Hall were both brought back by the Emperor. Not long after, a strange incident occurred in the Imperial Palace. The Emperor and the other princes all died tragically. Only the Emperor survived and ascended to the throne. On the day of his ascension, your mother woke up from the stone coffin and forgot everything. However, the Emperor made her his Empress! "
At this point, the room fell silent.
Xu Que was dumbfounded. Jiang Hongyan was also in a daze. It was as if she had never heard of this past. She did not know that her mother had such a mysterious background!
After a long time, she looked at Lord Zeng and asked, "Why did she die after I was born?"
"It seems like you don't know anything!" Lord Zeng smiled and shook his head. "It's no wonder. Old Man Ji wouldn't have told you this. Your mother didn't die. She left without saying goodbye and went to the Road of Heavenly Ascension. There was no news of her since then. Old Man Ji was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he announced that she had passed away!
In fact, only a few of us old men know the truth. We all know each other's scandals. We just don't want to expose each other! "
Lord Zeng spoke of the past calmly, as if he was talking about someone else's gossip.
Jiang Hongyan was moved. She had heard the truth. Her mother in her previous life did not die. She had disappeared in the Road of Heavenly Ascension!
"Hongyan, if you want to find her, I'll go with you!" Xu Que held Jiang Hongyan's hand gently when he saw her expression.
Jiang Hongyan shook her head. "Actually, what happened in my previous life has nothing to do with me. Even in my previous life, I have never seen her except when I was born. I just have some lingering memories of her now! She set foot on the Road of Heavenly Ascension alone, which means she has let go of everything. It's meaningless for me to find her, and it won't change anything! "
After saying that, Jiang Hongyan looked at Xu Que with a faint smile, "She has her own path to walk, and I also have my own path to walk. It's enough to have you on my path!"
Xu Que smiled and nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's not go to the Road of Heavenly Ascension to find her. Let's go back to the Four Great Continents first!"
"No!" Lord Zeng suddenly interrupted. "My young friend, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the Road of Heavenly Ascension this time!"
