Chapter 12: The Holy Emperor
"Okay, little one, I've finished what I should say, now it's your turn. β
"Me?"
"That's right, it's you, of course, I've said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, but I don't even know your little name, what's the matter?
Gu Shengsheng smiled skillfully, she already regarded herself as Ye Qing's sister, and she couldn't tolerate Ye Qing's refusal. Ye Qing could only smile bitterly, not knowing what his master Qi Xiuyuan would think when he saw the scene in front of him.
"Ancestor... gave birth to a sister, and the disciple's name is Ye Qing. Ye Qing looked at Gu Shengsheng's hateful eyes, and reluctantly changed his words.
"Ye Qing?" Gu Shengsheng looked at the young man in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"Then I'll call you Xiao Qing'er from now on, hehe. Gu Shengsheng said to himself.
Ye Qing was already accustomed to Gu Shengsheng's willfulness at this time, and knew that it was useless for him to oppose it, so he didn't want to waste his tongue, so as not to be teased by Gu Shengsheng in vain.
"Xiao Qing'er, didn't you just want to ask us about the inheritance of the Immortal Lineage?"
"Yes" Ye Qing nodded, after all, he didn't know where Qi Xiuyuan was until now.
"Xiao Qing'er, you must also know that the inheritance of our immortal lineage is very demanding, and it must be done by those who have come back from the dead. β
"Hmm. Ye Qing nodded, Gu Shengsheng looked at Ye Qing, and his slender willow eyebrows glanced slightly.
"Xiao Qing'er, how many generations are you now descending from the Immortal Lineage?"
"Yes ... Thirteenth generation. Ye Qing replied honestly.
"The thirteenth generation, Xiao Qing'er, do you know how long the inheritance of the Immortal One Lineage has been?"
Ye Qing didn't respond, he only knew that the inheritance of the immortal lineage was extremely long, but he didn't know how long it was.
"I am the seventh generation of the Immortal Lineage, and I have been separated by at least hundreds of thousands of years from the Immortal Emperor. Gu Shengsheng said lightly, as if he was talking about something very common.
"Hundreds of thousands of years, then?" Ye Qing was shocked.
Qi Xiuyuan once told him that the inheritance of the immortal lineage was hundreds of thousands of years, but now Gu Shengsheng said that the seventh generation of the heir and the immortal emperor were separated by hundreds of thousands of years.
Wouldn't the Immortal Emperor be a figure for millions of years to him?
Gu Shengsheng saw Ye Qing's doubts, and also added, "That's right, the immortal lineage is a million-year inheritance, Xiaoqing'er, you should also know that generally those who become emperors can have a lifespan of 10,000 years, and those who have not become emperors can have a lifetime of thousands of years, even if I have an immortal lineage based on immortality, the longevity is far beyond that of people in the same realm, and the restrictions on this are also very great, and it is very difficult to find people who are alive after death, even 10,000 years, 100,000 years." β
"It's just because I haven't found a suitable disciple, so I can only leave a legacy in this broken grass house, waiting for someone to come, but it's a pity that after so many years, I haven't waited until now for you to be such a successor. β
Gu Shengsheng's tone was a little resentful, it took hundreds of thousands of years to wait for Ye Qing to be such a descendant, and she was indeed a little difficult to accept.
"But why?"
Ye Qing was very puzzled, there were only thirteen generations of million-year-old inheritance, even if everyone was an emperor and lived for more than 10,000 years, it was impossible.
"The answer lies in our method of inheritance, which is the tomb. β
"The tomb?"
"That's right, the tomb. β
"The inheritance of our immortal lineage is not taught by a master like other sects, we only need to find someone who has survived to the extreme, and when we come to the grave, we can accept the inheritance of the Immortal Emperor. β
"So even if you can't find it, it doesn't matter, even if you run out of life and don't find a successor, as long as there are people who are alive and dead in the future, they can walk in front of this immortal house and come to this tomb, and the inheritance will naturally continue. β
"But can this also be considered a legacy?"
Ye Qing asked, after all, there may even be hundreds of thousands of years between the inheritances, hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, and it is likely to be a continuous inheritance. Is it really a legacy?
"Naturally, as long as you obtain the inheritance of the immortal lineage, you will consider yourself an immortal sect. The vein of immortality is naturally not broken. "Gu
Shengsheng said it as a matter of course, but Ye Qing was a little speechless, in his opinion, such a inheritance really can't be said to be inheritance, or it is more appropriate to describe it as an opportunity.
"Then, are we in that tomb now?" Ye Qing asked Gu Shengsheng.
Gu Shengsheng laughed, "Of course we are not in that grave, Xiao Qing'er, you are in my grave now." β
"Your grave?"
Ye Qing was surprised before he remembered that the smiling woman in front of him had been dead for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and it was because he worshiped her grave that he came here and saw her.
"Okay, Xiao Qing'er, after all the nonsense, it's time for us to do something serious. β
Gu Shengsheng smiled, her smile was really good-looking, even if Ye Qing had been teased by her for so long now, she would still be obsessed with her smile.
"Xiao Qing'er, although your master accepted you as a beginner, you were not a monk originally, just an ordinary child, how much do you know about cultivation?"
"I don't know much, but I used to hear the old people in the village say that cultivators are very good and can do everything to move mountains and reclaim the sea. β
Ye Qing shook his head, he really didn't know anything about cultivation.
"Well, before you embark on the path of cultivation, sister, I will first tell you these common sense, your cultivation can be regarded as extremely precious, a great emperor personally told you the basics, why didn't I have such good luck as you back then, I met the rotten person of Changsheng, and my cultivation is all on my own. β
Gu Shengsheng complained, and then straightened his mind.
"The so-called cultivation is to take the qi of heaven and earth to nourish one's own body, the so-called gods in the world, immortals, and even demons and monsters, are generally an elaboration of cultivation, but the cultivation methods contained in it are different, but in the end they are all in order to achieve the purpose of cultivation, so the division of the realm in the cultivation world is roughly the same, at most, the name of the realm reached by different cultivation methods is different. β
Gu Shengsheng said with a smile.
"The cultivation realm of the world, starting from the initial humanity, forging the body, practicing qi, going to the palace, building dragons, passing through the underworld, and knowing immortals, and after knowing immortals, it is no longer an ordinary realm that can be distinguished,"
"Why?" Ye Qing asked
"After knowing the immortals, the monk needs to make a choice, and this choice will determine the direction of the monk's path after that. Gu Shengsheng explained with a smile.
"Ancestor, what is the choice?" Ye Qing was so puzzled that he even forgot about the title of Gu Shengsheng, and Gu Shengsheng did not correct him at this time, and continued.
"If a monk knows an immortal, he must decide the path he wants to take, cultivate the saint, or become an emperor!"
Gu Shengsheng's tone was serious, even if it was her, when she talked about this issue, her heart was excited, for hundreds of millions of years, but all monks, I don't know how many Tianjiao are difficult to choose on this road.
"Why, is there a big conflict between Xiusheng and Emperor Cheng?"
Gu Shengsheng didn't answer Ye Qing's question, she lowered her body and leaned in front of Ye Qing with her pretty face.
"Xiao Qing'er, do you know how many emperors and how many saints there are from ancient times to the present?" she spoke very slowly, as if she had deliberately slowed down in order to let Ye Qing hear clearly.
"Qing'er doesn't know. Ye Qing lowered his head, as if he was shy, and didn't dare to look directly into Gu Shengsheng's eyes.
"From ancient times to the present, there may be hundreds, but there are definitely only thousands, and although there are not many saints, there are at least tens of thousands. Xiao Qing'er, now do you know the difference between the emperor and the saint?"
Gu Shengsheng's eyebrows were shining, and she seemed very happy when she talked about this topic.
"Why, the Great Emperor is so much different from the Sage?"
"Xiao Qing'er, this is going to start with the difference between the emperor and the sage, the great emperor, the hero of all worlds, the king of heaven and earth, but whoever becomes an emperor is to go to the point where there is no one before and no one after him on his own path, in order to become an emperor. β
"And the Holy One, although in terms of the great realm, is similar to the realm of the Great Emperor, but he does not need to be invincible like the Great Emperor, and he can be called holy when he reaches the realm of holiness. β
Gu Shengsheng looked at Ye Qing seriously, as if he wanted Ye Qing to keep her words in mind.
"But, Patriarch, in the same realm, since it is so difficult to become an emperor, wouldn't they all choose the path of the Sage?"
Ye Qing asked, although he is old, he is only a seven or eight-year-old child after all, he is always naΓ―ve to think about things, and he can't help but think about simple things when he encounters difficult things.
"No, Xiao Qing'er, you are wrong, in fact, although there are not as many people who choose the Emperor Road as the people of the Holy Dao, it must not be said that there are few. β
Gu Shengsheng's tender index finger pointed at Ye Qing's eyebrows and chuckled.
"Why? If the realm is almost the same, then why do you still have to take this path?"
Ye Qing's tone was firm, and it was at this time that he was like a child, arguing with reason.
"Why? yes, why?" Gu Shengsheng didn't seem to be able to answer the question.
She thought quietly for a while, then slowly stood up, and left Ye Qing's body with a pretty face, Ye Qing also let go of her heart and exhaled deeply. For a moment, Gu Shengsheng seemed to think of something.
"Xiao Qing'er, I can't answer your question just now, but from a secular point of view, there are probably two differences between choosing to become an emperor and becoming a saint. Gu Shengsheng paused,
"First, the Great Emperor's combat power is much higher than that of the Sage, Xiao Qing'er, you have to remember that in the same realm, even if the Emperor faces hundreds, or even thousands, of the Sage, it will be fine, and he can even crush the Sage. β
Gu Shengsheng said with a smile. And Ye Qing was also surprised,
"Why?"
"Because the emperor reigns over the world and is invincible!" Gu Shengsheng did not answer in detail, but just put down a bold sentence.
Ye Qing's heart was shocked, and he now somewhat understood why Qi Xiuyuan was so proud when he talked about the Immortal Emperor to him, and why Gu Shengsheng was so proud of himself.
"The second point is to start with the people who choose to become the emperor, Xiao Qing'er, do you know why the road to the emperor is so difficult, and there are still so many people who choose it?"
Ye Qing shook his head, if he knew, he would not ask Gu Shengsheng such a question at all.
"Because of self-confidence!"
"Confidence?"
"Yes, self-confidence, but anyone who chooses this path is definitely a rare Tianjiao, even a demonic figure, and most of these people have an invincible belief, and they have no doubt about the result of becoming an emperor, and they have the belief that I am invincible! β
Gu Shengsheng smiled faintly, Ye Qing couldn't see the meaning, but felt a little weird.
