Chapter 1407: The Living Emperor
The Living Emperor
Under Xuanyuan's urging, the Great Pig went berserk. He used all kinds of methods to search for the whereabouts of the last key. He almost turned the treasure vaults of the major forces upside down, but he still couldn't find it.
In this period of time, he encountered many terrifying existences of the God Race. But with this dead pig's cunning, insidious, and cunning, even if these God Race powerhouses were stronger than him, they were still plotted against by him and devoured cleanly in the end.
Because of this, he learned a lot about the Celestial race, but he didn't know anything about the whereabouts of the ninth key.
The Great Pig had the eight keys to the Devouring Immortal Abode. He almost turned the entire world upside down, but he still couldn't find it.
Helpless, he could only use a secret technique and sacrifice several treasures as the price to determine a location. When he did this, his heart was dripping blood, and his eyes were dripping tears. This was because using this secret technique almost made him lose everything he had saved up over the years.
He crossed the void, crossed mountains and rivers, and finally came to an inconspicuous mountain forest in the Kong family's territory.
This was a paradise, with verdant hills and clear waters. It was far away from the wars of the mortal world.
The people here were simple and honest. When they saw the Great Pig, they smiled and invited the Great Pig to be their host.
They were kind and honest, and they had a sense of righteousness. The Great Pig could naturally feel it, so he didn't refuse.
At this moment, the Great Pig was extremely handsome. His long black hair was thick, and his skin was fair. His phoenix eyes were especially demonic, and even peerless beauties would be jealous of him. If he was like this in the past, he would have scared away the villagers long ago.
The person who met the Great Pig was an old man called Papa Lin. He was over 180 years old, but he still hadn't aged.
This Old Man Lin had never cultivated before. He was just an ordinary person. However, he was able to live past 180 years old. He could still move about freely and go up the mountain to chop firewood. If he was in the outside world, he would probably die before he was even 50 years old.
There was no fighting in this village, and it was peaceful. Generation after generation, they lived in peace and contentment. The scenery was beautiful, and there were no outsiders to disturb them. The villagers hunted and farmed, and they had plenty of food and clothing. There was no noise from the outside world. This forest was the world they knew. Occasionally, outsiders would intrude, but they never thought of going out.
The people were simple and honest. They had no desires and only wanted to live a simple life. This was what the small mountain village was all about.
The lazy sunlight shone down from the Ninth Heaven. A few children with bare buttocks were running around, and a few farm puppies were chasing after them. The scene was extremely heartwarming.
Compared to the unworldly world of cultivators, this was a rare pure land.
"Young man, what's wrong? Are you lost?" As Papa Lin had reached a certain age, his Qi and blood had begun to decline. However, he was hale and hearty. His face was ruddy, and he looked strong. Every step he took was extremely steady.
"Haha, that's right. Unknowingly, I ended up here. Who would have thought that there would be such a paradise hidden in this mountain forest? It really surprises me." The pig-headed emperor was rarely so refined. Facing these simple villagers, he really couldn't be rude. "Haha.
They passed by a small stream that flowed downstream. The stream murmured, and there were about 10 village women by the bank. They each carried a bucket of clothes and were washing by the stream.
Seeing that there was an outsider in the village, an aunt's eyes were clear and her voice was especially loud. She shouted, "Yo, where did this handsome young man come from?"
"Yes, this is the first time in my life that I've seen such a beautiful man …" As a result, the Great Pig became the topic of discussion among the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village.
"Haha, come, come, come. Come to my house and have a seat." Papa Lin brought The Great Pig into a wooden house.
Although the house was old, the interior was neat and tidy. The tables and chairs were cleaned until they were spotless and gleaming.
"Old woman, there's a guest. Kill a capon and bring out the tiger bone wine that I've been soaking in for a hundred years." Father Lin's voice was loud and clear. For an old man who could live to 180 years without cultivating to have this kind of essence, qi, and spirit, it was truly not easy.
"Thank you, Papa Lin." The Great Pig was not in a hurry. After all, he had already found what he needed to find. A little more time would not make much of a difference.
Two hours later, Papa Lin's wife came out. Auntie Lin's hair was black and shiny. She looked old, but her body was very good.
There was an old square table, a plump chicken, a plate of peanuts, two plates of side dishes, a pot of tiger bone wine, and two big bowls.
"Young man, please." Papa Lin and The Great Pig ate the chicken and drank the wine. They talked about all sorts of things before finally getting to the main topic.
"Young man, how did you get lost in this forest? I remember the last time someone got lost in this forest. I was only in my early twenties then, and I was the one who took care of him." "It's like this.
"It's like this. Three thousand years ago, my grandfather had an item that was lost in this forest. Today is my grandfather's birthday, and my father couldn't think of a gift to give my grandfather, so he wanted me to find the item to give him a surprise. So I came here, but who knew that I wouldn't be able to find the item and would instead get lost. Luckily, Old Father Lin is here." The pig-headed emperor's tone was warm and gentle. Old Father Lin was extremely touched by the pig-headed emperor's performance. At his age, what he wanted the most was to see some filial children and grandchildren.
"Sigh, if only my son was still alive. Forget it, let's not talk about the sad past. You are all immortals and can live for thousands of years. I know this. I can't help you much, but there is an old man in our village who has lived for a very, very long time. We don't know exactly how long he has lived, but he knows a lot more than I do. Why don't I take you to see him later? He knows this forest very well, so he should know what your grandfather lost."
Papa Lin was warm and innocent, and The Great Pig treated him with respect. Seeing that he was not a bad person, Papa Lin naturally did not have any wariness and did not suspect him at all.
Hearing this, The Great Pig's heart jumped. "As expected, I knew that this place was not simple. Tigers and leopards are hidden in the deep mountains, and qilins are buried in the fields."
"Haha, good. Thank you, Papa Lin. But I don't understand. Since you know that there is a way to cultivate, why don't you seek to cultivate? Isn't it better to live longer?" Since The Great Pig already knew that this place was extraordinary, he was no longer in a hurry and began to chat.
"The Divine Ancestor left a message. Once you cultivate, you want to live longer. You want to see the path to immortality, but you can't, so you have many thoughts. In the end, you pursue immortality, but you don't get the gist of it. You will only fall into an even greater sea of bitterness, and in the end, you will only be a pile of bones. In this life, you should live freely for two hundred years, unfettered, simple, and ordinary." Papa Lin sighed. He had great respect for the teachings passed down by the Divine Ancestor and did not dare to have the slightest bit of disobedience.
Hearing this, The Great Pig fell silent. Everyone's pursuit was different. For example, the Divine Ancestor who came to this village hoped that the people here could live simply and happily.
"Haha, your Divine Ancestor is really brilliant …"
After Papa Lin finished drinking, he became more talkative. His son had died while out hunting, and the old couple had no one to rely on. Although the neighbors were very kind to them, suddenly meeting an outsider who resembled his own son, he could not control himself.
It was rare for The Great Pig to be patient. He listened carefully and made a few small remarks from time to time. In the end, Papa Lin also felt that he had said too much. After apologizing a few times in embarrassment, he brought The Great Pig to see the old man who had lived for a very long time in the village.
Passing through the crisscrossing villages, they came to the upstream of the mountain stream. The source was a waterfall that flew down three thousand feet, rumbling and splashing.
The water was clear and bright. After Father Lin brought the pig-headed emperor here, he left. He said, "Head upstream. That old ancestor will sit by the stream and fish every day. I don't dare to disturb him, so you should go and ask him."
After saying this, Papa Lin left. The Great Pig thanked him profusely and finally walked upstream.
Along the way, the cobblestone ground was covered with colorful cobblestones. Trees were everywhere, and a cool breeze blew gently. Warm light shone down from the Nine Heavens, reflecting rainbows.
When the pig-headed Great Emperor reached the upper reaches, he saw a white-haired old man with a muscular physique. There was a domineering aura about him, a lofty and unyielding character, and his emperor's qi was restrained. It was a very familiar sight.
At his side was a black dog. Its vitality was declining, and it had grown quite a bit of white fur. Just like the elder, it didn't have long to live. That large black dog only lay there quietly, accompanying the elder.
Looking at the old man's back, the Great Pig could not help but tremble. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and said excitedly, "Is that you, Great Emperor?"
The old man did not reply. The Great Pig knelt all the way until he was ten feet away from the old man.
The old man sighed and said, "Ah, Emperor Devouring, in the end, you still came to me."
"I had no choice. I was forced by that brat. I had no choice." The pig-headed Great Emperor did not expect to meet the 'Devouring Great Emperor' that he thought was long dead here. Right now, he was just an ordinary old man. He was no longer the domineering 'Devouring Great Emperor' of the past. The pig-headed Great Emperor smiled bitterly.
"Looks like you have found all eight keys. The last key is indeed with me." The Great Emperor Devouring's voice was still very calm. He did not turn around.
"Yes, he asked me to find the whereabouts of the last key. Great Emperor, come back with me," the Great Pig said solemnly.
"No, let him come see me. I can't give you the key just yet." The Devouring Emperor shook the bamboo pole in his hand and a fish took the bait. He removed the fish and put it back into the stream. The pig-headed emperor realized that there wasn't even a hook on the fishing line. The fish was biting on the line and wouldn't let go.
The Great Pig did not think too much. He said solemnly, "Alright, Great Emperor, wait for me. I will bring that kid to you immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pig-headed emperor activated the mirror and called out to Xuanyuan, "Boy, come find me quickly. I have something important to tell you."
Xuanyuan, who was leading the Celestial army, suddenly opened his eyes in the Omni Manifestation Dao Treasure. He did not know what was happening.
