Chapter 268 Living
"Father!" Qin Changqing couldn't help but call out, but he didn't continue.
Emperor Qian's words further proved that he was determined to hold on until the very last moment.
As for whether or not to abdicate, the Central Region is about to fall apart. The Dragon Vein has already been activated, so what use is the throne?
Emperor Qian glanced at him sideways: "What, you can't bear to part with it?"
Qin Changqing was extremely anxious: "No way..."
Unexpectedly, Su Yun spoke up: "Master, did you ask me?"
Master Hongjue was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, no throne can compare to what my young friend desires."
"He's just a worldly emperor; it's better not to be one!"
The Emperor of a Divine Dynasty, the ruler of a nation, is the supreme and most coveted position for cultivators in the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Master Ke Hongjue was once selected as a Buddhist disciple from the Western Regions and a future reincarnation of the Buddha.
A throne wasn't that important to him.
The reason for nurturing a new emperor for the Great Qian Dynasty is simply because my hometown is here. I will use my last strength to protect the Path of Inquiry, which can be considered as standing my last post.
After his cultivation improved once again, Master Hongjue no longer felt that the throne of the Great Qian Dynasty was that important.
Su Yun nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."
He is destined to conquer the Thousand Star Abyss, command the Heavenly Army, and achieve the supreme immortal status.
What use is a mere mortal throne?
Rather than being a target in front of the camera, it's better to be a behind-the-scenes operator.
If something happens, the people in front will block it; why should you work hard yourself?
Just like now, the elite forces of the Great Qian Dynasty have been mobilized to fight against the Xuanqing Sect and the evil forces from beyond the realm.
If you really can't beat them, then call for reinforcements from the Heart Path.
Seeing the two of them asking and answering questions, treating the incomparably precious throne as if it were worthless, and more importantly, showing no urgency whatsoever, Qin Changqing couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
That giant finger in the sky was already less than ten miles away!
A huge storm swept in, making the entire Central Region roar.
The strongest warriors from all over gathered their hands and unleashed their most powerful spells towards the sky.
Countless beams of light shot into the sky, colliding with the giant finger and exploding into earth-shattering flames.
Even so, it only delayed the situation slightly.
The giant finger paused for a moment, then pressed down irresistibly.
Qin Changqing wiped his sweat and said, "Please, Master Hongjue, take this young master of the Su family away!"
While the royal family certainly has ways to escape, it would be safer to ask Master Hongjue for help since he has appeared.
This powerful figure from a thousand years ago has witnessed countless emperors.
Although he never took action, the royal family always felt that he was the guardian deity of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Master Hongjue looked up and said slowly, "What's the rush? It's just an extraterrestrial being."
Upon hearing this, Qin Changqing was first startled, then exclaimed with delight, "Master Hongjue, you...you can get rid of that thing?"
Master Hongjue lived a thousand years ago and had naturally witnessed many trials and tribulations.
The Great Wall beyond the Great Wall of Daqian was not a secret, nor were those alien creatures rare.
It's just that the spiritual energy outside the Great Wall is constantly thinning, making it difficult even for strong individuals to travel very far.
Especially those bottomless abysses that cannot be crossed, which block all paths of exploration.
Master Hongjue was a top expert a thousand years ago. He has seen him and it is not impossible that he could defeat that extraterrestrial demon!
Qin Changqing was extremely excited, finally seeing a turn of events: "Master, please help us save the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Master Hongjue waved his hand: "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"Huh???" Qin Changqing was stunned.
Master Hongjue gently pulled his hand: "They can."
Before Qin Changqing could understand what was happening, the space in front of him seemed to have turned into a curtain, with folds being torn out.
Then, a large hole appeared, revealing a simple, unadorned spring and a stone-paved path.
Qin Changqing was surprised: "Asking about the path of the heart?"
As a prince, he naturally had to walk the path of self-examination.
This ordinary stone-paved road has left me with endless psychological trauma, and I really don't want to look back on it.
Master Hongjue was not a servant of the royal family, so he needed to wait for the right opportunity to seize the trial.
Fortunately, the old monk had a very good temper. As long as communication was smooth, he would open the path of self-reflection at the appropriate time.
But now, Qin Changqing doesn't understand why they would open the Path of Inquiry.
"Could it be... that hiding inside would allow me to escape the extraterrestrial demons?" This was the only guess he had.
The Path of the Heart is another space. Does that mean that hiding inside will allow one to avoid attacks falling from the sky?
Qin Changqing quickly said, "Young Master Su Yun, let's go in quickly!"
"No!" Emperor Qian's expression turned grave as he stopped them. "It's not about going in; something needs to come out!"
Qin Changqing was taken aback.
Swish!
The next instant, a muscular, dark-skinned man appeared before everyone.
Qin Changqing was taken aback: "Who are you!"
Someone actually managed to sneak into the emperor's side. How could he be so easily taken advantage of?
Swish!
Just as the guards made their move, a second woman with a rough appearance appeared before them.
She moved slowly and did not deliberately display her cultivation level.
Therefore, even Qin Changqing could see through the other party's trajectory.
He was taken aback: "You, you all came out of the Path of Inquiry into the Heart?"
The woman, who looked like a village woman, walked out of the space torn open by Master Hongjue, leaving a trail of afterimages.
despair!despair!despair!
The third old man, with white hair and beard and dressed in a blue Taoist robe, shook his head and strode out.
He seemed to be walking slowly, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his short steps encapsulated rivers, lakes, seas, mountains, and forests!
This skill of shrinking the distance to an inch has been used to its fullest extent.
Qin Changqing even had a premonition that this old man could take a single step out of the Central Region!
But what shocked him even more was...
"On the path of self-examination, there are actually other people!" Emperor Qian exclaimed in surprise.
Qin Changqing turned his head abruptly, his eyes filled with even greater horror.
As the crown prince, he had also entered the Path of Inquiry, but he had never heard of anyone else inside!
Emperor Qian was so surprised that he was clearly unaware of the situation.
In the royal gardens, a place where emperors of countless generations rested and vacationed, there were actually other people lurking in the shadows!
Are these people enemies or friends?
Swish!
The muscular, dark-skinned man turned his head, glanced disdainfully at Emperor Qian, and shook his head: "This is the current emperor? The Qian Kingdom is getting more and more backward."
Emperor Qian's pupils contracted as he suddenly recognized the man's identity and exclaimed in surprise, "King Taibai!"
Qin Changqing was taken aback, and he also remembered the name: "You are the King of Taibai!"
Three hundred years ago, a ruler of great talent and ambition emerged in the Southern Region.
He swept across hundreds of kingdoms, gathering the scattered dragon veins to create a unified super empire.
King Thai Bai was not only a master strategist, but his single plan was worth a thousand troops.
He also possesses extraordinary cultivation and is himself a Saint!
Unfortunately, during the subsequent battle against the Great Qian Dynasty, he was betrayed by a treacherous nobleman from a fallen kingdom, leading to the defeat in the war.
Afterwards, King Taibai disappeared. Some say he died, while others say he was sealed away and turned into a magical artifact.
But to my surprise, he actually appeared in front of me today!
Live and alive!
