Jiang Liechen smiled faintly and said, "That's not entirely the case. As an expert, if he wants to be invincible, he should always treat his opponents with respect. As the saying goes, 'A thousand mile dike can collapse because of an ant's nest'. For example, wasn't my Sacrificial Shadow Sect destroyed by Li Yijie's motley crew? "
The Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "That makes sense. But weren't you the one who destroyed the Demonic Shadow Sect? You were dissatisfied with the previous Hierarch, and you didn't even want to preserve the sect he founded. To be honest, Li Yijie's contribution was negligible. "
Jiang Liechen muttered to himself, "I don't care about a small Sacrificial Shadow Sect. My true loss to him was that he forced me to kill him with my own hands … "When he thought of this, he couldn't continue.
The Xuan Shuang sighed and said, "You were the one who fought for a moment of anger. Why do you always say that he forced you? Sigh, but I see that you're always high and mighty. Do you have any respect for others? "
Jiang Liechen half-turned his gaze and said faintly, "What? Your palace is always fighting and scheming against each other. You won't allow me to do some superficial work?"
He suddenly felt a pang of sorrow in his heart. The reason he was in such a miserable state today was largely because of this' superficial work '. If he hadn't pretended to be cold and emotionless and refused to say anything, Menglin wouldn't have misunderstood him and hated him to death. An Yesun wouldn't have been at odds with him, and Shen Shiyun wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation and turn them against each other. Even now, he was still pretending to be cold and indifferent, but he didn't know that he had already hurt many people. There was a hint of loneliness and worry in his eyes.
The Xuan Shuang saw his expression and was somewhat stunned. When he heard of the Seven Fiends Demon's deeds, he always felt that they were evil and unforgivable. But after chatting with him a few times, he didn't hide anything from him and told him everything. The more she learned about him, the more she felt that he was just a pitiful person, one of the thousands of lonely and frustrated people. Even if one's martial arts and power had reached the peak of perfection, it could not be exchanged for true happiness. She originally wanted to tease him a little, but when she saw his deep sorrow, she felt pity for him and couldn't bear to continue mocking him.
It was still early when the two of them left the capital. When they arrived at the boundary of An Jia Village, they strolled around the streets. The atmosphere was casual, as if they were a pair of ordinary friends. Xuan Shuang said that he respected him, but Jiang Liechen couldn't stand his rigid flattery. At the same time, he had a very good impression of him, so he made an exception and agreed that they could interact as if they were peers in private, and there was no need to adhere to the etiquette of master and disciple.
The two of them certainly had a congenial personality, and Xuan Shuang was good at catering to others, so they often had a good time talking. After strolling around the streets for several hours, they stopped in front of a stall selling small trinkets. Xuan Shuang picked up a small ring shaped like a thumb ring and fiddled with it a few times. He laughed and said, "In the past, Xiao Xuan … liked these things very much. I often laughed at her, but I never bought them for her."
When Jiang Liechen heard him mention Cheng Jiaxuan, he didn't have the heart to listen. He said indifferently, "Women are all the same." Although he said that, in his mind there was a strong feeling of objection. Thinking back, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he had provoked these women. It could be said that each of them had their own merits, but Chu Menglin's figure was still the clearest. As soon as he thought of her, he felt a deep pain in his heart.
Xuan Shuang said, "That's also very good. At least it's easy to coax them. A small thing like that can be a big surprise. If I'm not mistaken, you've never given Miss Chu a gift either, right? "Jiang Liechen said," Nonsense. I … "He thought about how he would put down his face, take an earring from a stall, and seriously give it to Menglin. The scene would be neither fish nor fowl. He reckoned that he didn't need to say anything. Menglin would already be frightened by him and would run far away in the blink of an eye. It seemed like it wasn't appropriate for him to treat girls with gentleness.
Seeing the two of them pointing at each other, the stall owner hastily picked up a dazzling golden bell and said with a smile, "Dear customers, do you want to buy something? Take a look at this bell. Don't be fooled by its unremarkable appearance. There's a legend inside … "Xuan Shuang impatiently said," You're just a stall owner. It's enough for you to do your job well. Don't try to make a living as a storyteller. "
The stall owner blushed. For some reason, Jiang Liechen's interest was piqued. He said, "It's still early anyway. There's no harm in listening to his nonsense." Xuan Shuang saw that a generation's devil leader was actually interested in listening to a story. This was much more interesting than the story itself. He also cheered, "Alright! Why don't you tell us? "
The stall owner coughed dryly several times and cleared his throat. He gathered his emotions. He really did look like a storyteller. Soon after, he said, "Legend has it that in the Distant Past, there was once a deity whose supernatural power was unparalleled in the Heavenly Realm. It's a pity that heroes cannot overcome the hurdle of love. In his heart, he had always been in love with a female deity. However, the heavens did not fulfill his wishes. That female deity's heart already belonged to someone else. She loved another Divine General.
The deity was unconvinced. He thought that he was clearly much more powerful in all aspects. Even the Heavenly Emperor appreciated him. All the Heavenly Soldiers were proud to see him. Why couldn't he gain the favor of that female deity? Thus, he repeatedly challenged that Divine General to a duel. He was sure to win every battle. Then, he proudly went to the female deity to claim credit. However, he was told that no matter how many times he won, that female deity would not fall in love with him. Moreover, he was a deity. He should not be obsessed with love and indulge in lust. He should do more for the Heavenly Realm.
The deity was greatly affected. However, he was still unwilling to give up. He felt that his martial arts were not enough. Thus, he cultivated diligently every day. However, because of his heavy evil aura, he gradually developed a tendency to become a devil. When the other Divine Generals saw this, they often advised him. However, he did not listen to any of them. The deities could not do anything to him.
After a few hundred years, lava suddenly erupted in the Human Realm. It endangered the entire Heavenly Realm. It was not an ordinary volcano. It was the only place that connected the Human Realm and the Heavenly Realm. It was also guarded by that Divine General. He could not absolve himself from the blame for such a mistake. When the deity who held a grudge heard this, he was secretly happy. He was planning to watch a good show. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor finally ordered that the Divine General and the female deity he loved to release all their divine power to seal the lava.
The deity was not convinced. In the Heavenly Court, he openly questioned. He said that it was karma. It was enough to sacrifice him. Why did he have to involve her? The Heavenly Emperor was also slightly angry. He only said that the eruption of lava was a sign of chaos in the world. If they wanted to forcefully seal it, the power of the Divine General alone was not enough. The female deity also said that she was willing to live and die with the Divine General. The deity was furious. He said that this matter was greatly related to the Heavenly Court. Heavenly Emperor, you are high and mighty. How can you let your subordinates die for everything?
The Heavenly Emperor had never been contradicted like this. He said that the Heavenly Realm also had its own order. How could he do as he pleased? Even a deity could not achieve his goal without sacrificing anything. The deity was really crazy. He relied on the Heavenly Emperor's favor and was lawless. He said that he would also die. You are the master of the Heavenly Realm. Why don't you sacrifice yourself? If you can't protect the lives of your subordinates, you will only force them to die for you. How can you win the hearts of the people in the long run? Then he shouted and told the deities not to be afraid. He directly pointed out the Heavenly Emperor's fault. The Heavenly Emperor was embarrassed. He could only order the deity to be locked up for a few days to teach him a lesson.
The deity's valiant reputation was not unfounded. He actually attacked the Heavenly Soldiers who went forward to capture him. Firstly, his magic power was extraordinary. Secondly, the Heavenly Soldiers had always been in awe of him. When they attacked, they did not dare to use their full strength. Not long after, they were beaten until they were rolling on the ground. The Heavenly Emperor said angrily, "Are you trying to rebel?" The deity suddenly knelt down on one knee and begged the Heavenly Emperor to give him three days. He would definitely find a way to seal the lava.
However, at this time, the human world was already full of disasters. There was no time to delay. In the end, the Heavenly Emperor only agreed to give the human world three days. If there was still no effect, they would still follow the old rules. The deity agreed resolutely. Then, he flew down to the human world. He had always been very confident in his ability. He believed that he could find a way to get the best of both worlds. Not only could he seal the lava, but he could also get rid of the Heavenly General and obtain the female deity.
However, after two days, he still could not find a solution. In the end, he heard an unorthodox method from somewhere. He drank the poison 'Love Severing Death' that he used to concoct in the lava. It was originally made with his love for the female deity. He planned to use it to deal with the Heavenly General. The poison would rot the moment it touched the body. In an instant, there would be no corpse left. Even a deity would not be able to escape.
After drinking a mouthful, he threw the bottle far away. From then on, the poison fell into the human world and caused endless trouble. It became the most precious treasure of the Poison Clan that all the major poison sects fought over. After the God of Heaven created this disaster, he jumped into the boiling magma … "
Xuan Shuang interrupted, "He is really stupid. He really can't think of a solution. Is he going to commit suicide? If he jumped in, I'm afraid he would be burned to ashes. "
The peddler spoke excitedly. His saliva flew everywhere as he said, "Of course not. This action originated from an ancient rumor. It is said that if one has a firm belief and has the determination to die, after jumping into the lava, not only will the body not die, but it will also be reborn and obtain the strongest power in the world.
There is a particular point to this. The martial arts that the deity cultivated was the Seven Fiends Arts of the Heaven Realm. It leaned towards the Yin Dao. To cultivate it to the top level, one must combine ice and fire. When he reached the second level, the Yin Qi in his body was abundant. The cold Qi almost froze him into an ice cube. At this time, the Yang Fire was not strong enough. It was difficult to balance, so it was difficult to improve. It was different inside the lava. The heat was enough to melt the cold inside the body. When the two reached the peak, one could break through the bottleneck. From then on, one's power would reach the peak. No one could stop it.
The deity was also puzzled. How could it be considered as having the determination to die? In the end, he thought of the Broken Love Sword. If one drank it, they would die without a doubt. Only by breaking through this layer of common sense would they have a chance of attaining eternal life. His action could be said to be extremely risky. After that, it seemed like a long time had passed. Indeed, he came back to life. Unfortunately, because he was obsessed when he jumped in, the evil Qi was too strong. When he succeeded, he directly turned into a demon. From then on, he wreaked havoc in the world. The disasters he caused were more extensive than the erupting lava.
The human world became an impermanent hell. The people could not bear it. They burned incense and prayed to the heavens to deal with this demon. After the deity turned into a demon, he also had the idea of taking the female deity by force. He planned to attack the Heaven Realm. At this time, the Heaven Emperor could no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. He sent his generals to capture them. All of them died tragically, their souls scattered. In the end, the female deity and the deity joined hands to fight with him at the mouth of the lava. The two of them were still no match for him and were seriously injured.
The demon laughed wildly and was about to kill the two of them. At this time, the female deity thought of their past relationship. Then, she thought about how the deity had no choice but to turn into a demon in order to protect her. No matter what, there was nothing wrong with loving someone deeply. And in order to save the world, she had no choice but to kill him with her own hands. This matter was in accordance with the right path, but she suddenly felt grief in her heart. She was originally an emotionless goddess, but when she finally understood all kinds of emotions, she shed a few sparkling and translucent tears, which immediately turned into jade. This was also known as the "Tears of Broken Soul".
