Chapter 124: The Gate of Ascension
The cave suddenly fell silent, and the Ichthyosaurus True Monarch was silent for a long time.
Xia Qing listened attentively and was ready to listen to the secrets of the Immortal Kingdom, but the Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun suddenly shut up and stopped talking.
After a long time, the Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun sighed faintly and broke the silence, "Life, everything is predestined." Individuals have their own destiny, and the immortal kingdom also has the destiny of the immortal kingdom, and when the divine punishment comes, it is the final limit! Alas......"
Xia Qing's mouth moved, and he wanted to ask what divine punishment was, but after thinking about it, he held back. This was the second time he had heard divine punishment, the first time he had heard the ethereal fairy say this in the Ethereal City. Now, the Ichthyosaurus True Monarch has also mentioned divine punishment. It sounded like an incomparably terrifying force, a super force that even the immortals could not stop, and then the immortal kingdom would be destroyed.
"Young Master Xia, do you know why the ethereal fairy Mengli committed suicide?"
"This ...... , I'm not very clear. ”
Xia Qing hesitated a little and said, "In Guangling Temple, I dreamed of the Ethereal City and the Ethereal Fairy. It just so happened that the rebels and demons attacked the city, and General Li Tian knelt down and begged the misty fairy to take refuge in the city, but the misty fairy ...... her."
"She killed herself, didn't she?"
The Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun was even more sad, his originally deep gaze was swallowed up by deep sadness, and his voice was hoarse, "Many people say that Mengli committed suicide in fear of war, hehe, it's really stupid! How could the ethereal fairy who used to come and go freely in the Demon Clan's holy land, the Hanging Mountain and the Demon Clan's base camp, commit suicide in fear? Mengli ...... , in fact, he foresaw the fate of the collapse of the immortal kingdom, foresaw it but was powerless to stop it, and committed suicide in frustration. ”
Inside the cave, there is a deep sadness.
Speaking of the ethereal fairy, the Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun was engulfed in sorrow, and even, Xia Qing saw in his eyes a pain that could not be erased for millions of years, a kind of severe pain that could never be forgotten after losing his loved ones.
Xia Qing suddenly understood a little, knowing why the Ethereal Fairy would send General Li Tian to send the Ethereal Movement to the Fish Dragon Gate before he died. In the chaos of the imminent collapse of the immortal kingdom, there is only one kind of person who is truly reliable, and that is the person who loves him deeply. The person you love deeply may betray one day, and only those who love you deeply regardless of your efforts will always be used to yourself.
Xia Qing didn't seem to understand, and the ghost envoy asked in a hurry, "Immortal Monarch, this place is not far from the Ethereal City, when the Ethereal City was breached, where were you, why didn't you save the Ethereal Fairy?"
Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun was stunned, he didn't seem to expect Xia Qing to ask like this, and then, a pair of eyes turned red, "It's not that I don't go, but I can't go." Three days before the city broke, Mengli asked me to drink, and when I woke up, I was already trapped in the ethereal confinement. Mengli had already expected everything and deliberately didn't let me save it...... , Xia Gongzi, do you know who the person I envy the most?"
"I don't know. Xia Qing shook his head.
"It's Taifu Xu Guangling. ”
Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun smiled stupidly and smiled bitterly, "Once, I hated him, I fought with him for three days and three nights, and I wanted to tear him to pieces." Later, I envied him, envied his bohemianism and ease, which was also the reason why Mengli really liked Xu Guangling. And I, I can't do it, I can break through from the Creation Realm to the Reincarnation Realm, but I can't do it as freely as Xu Guangling. So, I lost. ”
Xia Qing was silent, as if he understood, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt confused. Things between men and women are too complicated and terrible, but fortunately I don't like anyone. Thinking about it, for some reason, Shi Xuanxuan's figure and smiling face appeared in my mind.
"Hehe, it's rude, it's been so long, what are you doing with it. ”
The Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun smiled bitterly, and suddenly pinched a magic trick in his hand, and sacrificed a portal with a haunting immortal aura, "Young Master Xia, this is the gate of ascension that this seat has been guarding, and it will be handed over to you from now on." ”
"The Gate of Ascension?"
Xia Qing noticed at a glance that this portal was not simple, it was completely different from ordinary treasures, and if he really wanted to find something similar, it was only the Nine Ghost Sect that he had snatched from the hands of the Lord of the Hundred Ghost Sect, Yin Lao Evil. The Nine Ghost Gates gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, the ghost aura was gloomy, Xia Qing had never dared to look at it, but the Ascension Gate in front of him was different, constantly exuding a pure fairy aura, giving people a transcendent feeling.
"The territory of the Immortal Kingdom is very vast, not only limited to Wuzhou, but also includes the land of Kyushu such as Zhongzhou, Qingzhou and Guyue Prefecture, and in the outer world, there are also endless territories. Once, when the Immortal Kingdom was at its peak, a large number of geniuses ascended every year, coming to the Immortal Kingdom through the Gate of Ascension, and continuously replenishing the fresh blood of the Immortal Kingdom, which was the most glorious and powerful era of the Immortal Kingdom. But later, there were fewer and fewer people who ascended, and after the fall of the immortal kingdom, there was no more. No one still thinks about cultivating immortals, they all turn to the Tao of witchcraft, Buddhism, and even the Tao of demons. ”
Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun sighed, remembering the former glory of the Immortal Kingdom, and after a pause, his tone changed, "However, freedom is the ultimate pursuit in the life of all things in heaven and earth, and cultivating immortals is freedom." Although the immortal kingdom has been destroyed, the seeds of cultivating immortals are rooted in the depths of the souls of all things in heaven and earth, passed down from generation to generation, and temporary loss does not mean eternity. One day, the cultivation of immortals will rise again, Xia Gongzi, and you will be their guide at that time. ”
Xia Qing understood what Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun meant, and his forehead began to sweat, feeling that Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun was too exaggerated to take on such a heavy responsibility, "Immortal Monarch, I'm just a shepherd baby, and now I have just broken through to the Yuan Shen Realm, I don't know how to cultivate immortals, how can I be qualified to ......"
"No, Master Xia, what you can afford is also qualified. You don't have to do anything, just guard this Ascension Gate. Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun explained, his body was faintly darkened, and he seemed to be a little tired.
Xia Qing still shook his head, he always felt that the responsibility was too great, he didn't want to take on too much responsibility, he just wanted to continue to live his own days of cultivation and sheep herding, and have time to explore the ancient ruins or something, "Xianjun, I can't even deal with a little devil and can't protect myself, I'm afraid that I can't protect this Ascension Gate, in case it is broken or snatched away, then I will fail Xianjun." ”
"No, the Human Emperor Immortal Sword will protect you, and the Gate of Ascension is not so easy to be snatched away, on the contrary, it will become a big killing weapon for you. "Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun comforted Xia Qing, he had been prepared for a long time, leaving a trace of strength and will on the Human Emperor Immortal Sword.
"Immortal Monarch, then do you still have any talisman immortal weapons, or any powerful exercises? The younger generation is shallow in cultivation, and he is still worried that he won't be able to keep it. Xia Qing took the opportunity to ask for treasures.
"Little guy, you actually blackmailed to this seat, you are more cunning than the old fox at a young age, no wonder the Taifu will take a fancy to you. Anyway, meeting is fate, and I will pass on the seal of the deity to you. Cultivate well and guard the gate of Ascension. If you want to completely master the Ichthyosaurus Seal, you need to keep tempering, explore the immortal ruins scattered all over the place, find your own power, and by the way, see how stubborn and corrupt some people are!"
Ichthyosaurus Zhenjun stretched out his hand a little, and Xia Qing had an extra trick in his mind. The body of the Ichthyosaurus True Monarch became even darker, and when the cold wind blew, it turned into a little starlight and disappeared, and the sound came faintly from the void.
"Xianjun, wait a minute, Xianjun ......"
Xia Qing shouted, but there was no response, and the Ichthyosaurus True Monarch disappeared completely. It wasn't his deity who remained here, just a clone of his mind. The ground shook suddenly, and the immortal river above his head poured in with a bang, and before Xia Qing could understand what was going on, the gate of ascension flashed with white light, and disappeared with Xia Qing. Behind him, the Fish Dragon Cave Mansion was flooded by the river and ceased to exist.
