"For the List of Deification of the Gods?"
Hearing Qi Zhengyan's question, Zhao Heng's mind suddenly buzzed. Looking at Mengqi in front of him, he only felt that he was so familiar and so strange at the same time.
When he abandoned Gao Lan and embarked on this path, he understood that his friendship with Mengqi could not return to the beginning. Their different positions and pursuits would gradually cause them to drift apart.
However, this was mainly due to the contradiction between him and Gao Lan. Although he and Mengqi were in different camps, there was no direct conflict between them. Even a broken ship is still three pounds of iron, not to mention the friendship of facing life and death together. No matter what, there would still be some left!
But at this moment, Meng was completely on Gao Lan's side, and took the initiative to pressure him and Qi Zhengyan. Did he want to turn from friends to enemies?
In the face of Qi Zhengyan's question, Mengqi's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Memories of "Do I remember" kept surging in his mind. From acquaintance to familiarity, from familiarity to friendship, from friendship to friendship, from friendship to disregard life and death, all the scenes and conversations appeared in his mind. The words "Senior Brother Qi", "Cousin", "Old Zhao" and so on echoed in his mouth. Finally, it stopped at Qi Zhengyan's words, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."
At first, he thought it was just a casual remark. Who knew that it would slowly become a reality …
After pondering for a while, he got rid of all his emotions and examined all his thoughts. Then, Mengqi said calmly,
"This is a win-win situation. For a long time, you won't need the List of Deification at all. The worry comes from the Nine Serenities."
At this time and on this occasion, talking about friendship and reminiscing about the past would be blasphemy to the past. The best way was to analyze the pros and cons and negotiate normally.
The indifferent words came into Zhao Heng's ears. He seemed to hear some illusory breaking sound, which was the real collapse of the past.
Meng, who never abandoned his companions, Meng, who never escaped in the face of danger, Meng, who was wary of him, who became truly trustworthy, the humorous Meng, and the cheapskate Meng, had completely become the leader of Yuxu Palace, the strongest Immortal Master, and the supporter of the Human Emperor. He had become the indifferent and calm peerless master in front of him.
He was afraid that he had rarely heard Little Meng address him as Little Meng. He was surrounded by illustrious names such as Immortal Prime and Sect Leader …
Of course, he was no longer Old Zhao Wu of the past.
Time always urges people to change. Ordinary people change their hearts, but old people's hearts change easily.
For some reason, the scene that left the deepest impression in Zhao Heng's mind was the encounter in Luoyang that year. The courtyard was quiet, weeds were growing, and the sun shone through the trees, sprinkling golden spots on the ground. Mengqi leaned against the broken wall lazily, holding a grass stem in his mouth. His head was obscured by the shadow, and only his mouth and chin were the most clear, with a faint layer of green beard floating on it.
That month, he was a human, but at this moment, he was an immortal.
Looking at Mengqi not far away, Zhao Heng seemed to feel the insurmountable gap between them, a gap that buried everything in the past.
"Do I have to give the List of Deification to Gao Lan and watch him rule the world with humanity and advance by leaps and bounds, making the gap between us bigger and bigger?" Zhao Heng only felt that his voice seemed to fall from the sky, ethereal and high.
Mengqi's eyes were dark, like a boundless universe without starlight.
"Once humanity rules the world, the current Human Emperor will immediately become the target of public criticism. Although the benefits are great, the corresponding price will be great. The top forces such as Buddhism, the demon race, and the Luo Denomination will never tolerate this. There will be a long and repeated tug-of-war, and they will certainly have no time to distract you. Besides, I won't take the List of Deification for nothing. I will give you other benefits that will help you grow rapidly. For you, who are in Nine Serenities, surrounded by wolves, it is far more valuable than the List of Deification that can't be used now."
Looking at the expressionless Qi Zhengyan, whose eyes seemed to have never changed, he paused and said,
"Ninoran Tianzun, Emperor Xuanming, Black Heaven Emperor, Nine Serenities Blood Demon, Peerless Demon Monarch, and Qisha Daoist are all spying on the Red Mountains. Although they have not taken any drastic actions because they are wary of each other, with their temperament and style of doing things, this situation will not last long. Sometimes, just a small stone will cause a huge storm. If you do not improve your strength as soon as possible and strengthen the enchantment of the Red Mountains, how will you resist when the time comes?"
Qi Zhengyan stood there, his robe fluttering in the wind, and the red star on his forehead flashing. His eyes were calm, and without the slightest emotion, he said,
"They are coveting the Devil's Claws, and the Devil's Claws are a burden to me now, not a help. When I achieve the Legendary realm and can isolate the influence for a short period of time, I will throw it out. I will kill three people with two peaches and completely mess up the situation of the Nine Levels of Underground, and buy enough time for my own development."
It was not that he did not want to get rid of the Claws Of The Devil, but with his current strength, the Demon Monarch of the Realm, and the Hei Jia Demon Saint could only suppress it and prevent it from being polluted. It was difficult to get rid of it. It would either be killed and taken away by external forces, or after achieving the Legendary realm, he could suppress it to the limit with the help of other strong people and get rid of it temporarily.
Listening to Qi Zhengyan's answer, the first thing that Mengqi sighed with emotion was not that he was rational and had no greed for the Claws Of The Devil, the Peerless Heavenly Weapon of the Nirvana Level. Instead, he wanted to use it to plan the best situation for himself, but the conversation between the two of them was cold and without any warmth, as if they were strangers negotiating for benefits.
Who would have thought that this was a friend who could exchange life for life?
Fate always loves to play such a nasty joke …
"Although you have the knowledge and inheritance of the Demonic Lord and are in the Nine Serenities, your current strength is equivalent to the Legendary realm, and you can improve and see the wonders of this realm, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through within a year or two. Based on what I saw just now, the patience of Ninoran Tianzun may not last that long. If there is no other help, the outcome can be imagined," Mengqi directly pointed out the core of the problem.
Qi Zhengyan was silent for a while, as if he did not say anything, and finally opened his mouth.
"What benefits can you offer?"
Zhao Heng listened to the conversation between the two and already understood the current situation. Although after giving away the List of Deification, Gao Lan was afraid that it would be difficult to control him in the future, but that was in the future. There were many dangers in front of him, and he had to find a solution.
If one did not think about the future, he would have to worry about the near future. But if there was a conflict between the near future and the far future, there was no doubt that he would choose the near future. Only by breaking through the difficulties in front of him could he be qualified to think about the future.
Zhao Heng closed his eyes, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Ever since the Ancient Buddha Bodhi opened the List of Deification, the Heaven Conferring Platform, and the Real Spirit Map, all his efforts were in vain, he should have understood the fact that the dream of imperial hegemony was gone!
For now, the only thing he could do was to fully assist Qi Zhengyan and strive for the realization of an alternative idea. As far as he was concerned, Qi Zhengyan himself had no desire for power.
Hearing that Qi Zhengyan had relented, Mengqi revealed a trace of a smile and said, "One is the Wisdom Pure Land of Manjushri, a Creation Level Pure Land.
"The first is the wisdom pure land of Manjushri Bodhisattva, a pure land of the Creation Realm. It can resist the influence of the Nine Serenities and open the wisdom of the Evil Demons and Evil Gods, making them rational. Moreover, after combining with your Red Mountain Enchantment, the restrictions of the Nine Serenities will be greatly lifted. Under the control of the Demon of Self and the Twelve Devil Saints, it will have the ability to fight against the Creation Realm. Even if it can't resist the old guys like Ninoran Tianzun and the Black Heaven Emperor, it can still be safe and sound under the aftermath."
"More importantly, with this thing, it will be easier for you to practice your own way here. You will get twice the result with half the effort, and the hope of breaking through to the Legendary Realm in a year and a half will greatly increase."
Speaking of this, he turned to look at Zhao Heng, "The second is this Emperor's Calligraphy, condensed into words by the Way of the King. If you study it day and night, it can help you speed up your cultivation and greatly increase your strength."
Currently, Zhao Heng had also stepped into the Earth Fairy Realm.
Looking at the hazy pure land of wisdom and the surging Emperor's Calligraphy, Qi Zhengyan and Zhao Heng looked at each other and nodded. They took out the List of Deification, which was shining with a pale golden light.
Mengqi trusted Qi Zhengyan's character very much. Without any vows, they directly made an exchange.
After handing over the pure land of wisdom and the Emperor's Calligraphy, and holding the scroll that seemed to be materialized by heaven and earth, he wanted to shamelessly make a few jokes and let the matter go. Everyone could still laugh and be friends, but the scene just now replayed in his mind. The heavy atmosphere did not change, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Some things could not be ignored by pretending that they did not happen.
The atmosphere was indifferent and strange. Qi Zhengyan held the pure land of wisdom, while Zhao Heng held the Emperor's Calligraphy. They looked deeply at Mengqi, turned around, and walked into the depths of the Crimson Mountain Range, leaving behind two straight backs.
Mengqi did not say anything. He watched them leave, and a kind of sadness was fermenting in his heart.
Seeing that Qi Zhengyan was about to disappear, he suddenly turned around and said expressionlessly, "The Nirvana Seal has a certain spirituality.
"The seal of the Nirvana Realm has a certain spirituality. If the external environment and the holder of the seal change, it will cause the holder of the seal to have a sudden impulse and sense it. You'd better imitate the aura of me or the environment here."
There was such a thing? Mengqi was stunned at first. When he looked again, Qi Zhengyan and Zhao Heng had already disappeared from the core of the Crimson Mountain Range.
Recalling the words just now, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
The Eight Nine Mysteries operated, and his aura changed rapidly. Mengqi seemed to have transformed into another Qi Zhengyan, and he put away the List of Deification.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned, and a worried look appeared on his face.
Although he had obtained the List of Deification, the next step would be more dangerous than before. After changing his aura, he would not be able to perform the Infinite Path of Chaos anymore. He could hide the traces of his residence, sneak out of the Nine Serenities, and return to the Yuxu Palace!
In the outside world, there were terrifying old guys like Ninoran Tianzun, Emperor Xuanming, and Black Heaven Emperor. He was not a match for any of them. More importantly, once an intense conflict broke out, the other forces would immediately notice!
Although he could place all the hopes on the Qing Emperor to handle all the accidents and variables, this was not Mengqi's personality.
He looked out of the Crimson Mountain Range, and the six evil and terrifying feelings leaped into his heart.
