If you want to choose the person who wants to live forever the most in this world.

The emperor is undoubtedly the one at the top.

Thinking about the history of Xia Fan's previous life, it is recorded that there are many emperors who want to live forever.

Pity.

Immortality is like an ethereal legend.

In the end, everyone was reduced to a pinch of loess.

However, the Qingwei world is different.

Immortality is no longer a legend, but something that can really be achieved.

As long as you meet the four major elements of cultivation, there is no misfortune to die on the way to practice, not to mention immortality, and there is no problem in living for at least 10,000 years.

It's in such an environment.

Instead, the emperor became a "short-lived" person.

Sounds incredible.

Not only the Yuding Dynasty.

Dynasties established anywhere could not escape the fate of a short life.

Because—

The birth of a dynasty is determined by the fortune of heaven and earth.

And the emperor is naturally a person of good luck.

Here's the problem.

Under the influence of dynastic luck.

Although the emperor was also able to practice, the results of his cultivation were very different from those of ordinary monks.

Every time an ordinary monk cultivates to a certain realm, he can prolong his life.

But after the emperor cultivated to a certain point, he could no longer make an inch, and immortality was naturally impossible to talk about.

Unless the emperor is willing to abandon everything and voluntarily give up the favor of dynastic luck, the emperor will never be able to live forever under the influence of dynastic luck.

There are two sides to everything.

True.

Dynasty luck can indeed hinder the emperor's cultivation.

But dynastic luck also had an unusual protection for the emperor.

There is a default rule in the spiritual world.

No cultivator was allowed to make a move against the emperor.

It is nothing more than that once he makes a move on the emperor, he will inevitably be counterattacked by the fortune of the dynasty.

In this way, even if you can survive by luck, there is no hope for longevity in the future.

What's more, the backlash of the dynasty's luck is not only a backlash against one person, but even affects one's relatives, friends and future generations to a certain extent, which is quite a bit of the flavor of the nine clans.

So much so that the cultivators were very jealous of the emperor's move.

The result is the same whether it is overtly or secretly.

Maybe it's a race difference.

On the contrary, the demon side will not be affected by the attack on the Terran Emperor.

If there is a human monk colluding with demons to kill the emperor.

In the end, the account will still be counted on the head of this human monk.

Again.

The emperor is not something that can be killed casually.

The emperor could not have results in the practice.

But that doesn't mean the royals are out of the picture.

Although members of the royal family were also affected by dynastic luck, the restrictions on cultivation were not as strict as those of the emperor.

Some members of the royal family in order to ensure a smooth practice.

Even at the expense of breaking away from the royal family.

There are even more heirs of the emperor who would rather choose to practice this path than become an emperor.

Everyone's pursuit is different.

Some people yearn for immortality.

Naturally, there were people who aspired to the supreme power of the emperor.

The emperor of the current dynasty has lived for more than 500 years.

You're welcome.

The emperor of the current dynasty can be said to be the most unlucky of the emperors of the Yuding Dynasty.

Soon after he ascended the throne, he encountered an all-out war between demons and humans.

This emperor is not a master of eloquence, at most he can only be said to be a wise king.

For five hundred years.

The emperor did not dare to relax all the time.

Unless he wants to be the king of the dead country.

After all, no one dared to guarantee whether the Jade Ding Dynasty would be able to successfully resist the massive invasion of demons.

Fortunately, he is still qualified in the position of emperor.

At least in the past 500 years, he has successfully preserved the Yuding Dynasty, and even achieved an unprecedented victory against demons in the Battle of Chihai during his reign.

Seeing that the demon side is about to set off a big battle to determine the future of victory or defeat again.

It's a pity that this virtuous emperor knew that his fate would not be long.

Maybe he can't wait for this big battle to come before he has already returned to Jiuquan.

“...... Has the Emperor already arranged his own funeral?"

Dou Yao pondered for a moment.

He didn't care if the emperor lived or died.

But what he cares about is that the emperor can't die at a critical juncture.

You must know that once the emperor dies, the entire dynasty is often plunged into short-term turmoil.

As Xia Mingyuan said.

The demon is likely to use this as an opportunity to catch the Jade Ding Dynasty off guard.

"Of course, if nothing else, in a few years, His Majesty will be ready to pass on the throne to the crown prince in advance. ”

Xia Mingyuan nodded and said.

"That's it......"

After speaking.

Dou Yao seemed to remember something, and suddenly laughed inexplicably.

"Brother Dou?"

Seeing this, Xia Mingyuan couldn't help but say with a puzzled face.

"Nothing, just a funny thing that suddenly occurred to me......"

Dou Yao waved his hand and smiled.

"I remember that the crown prince of the Yuding Dynasty is now more than four hundred years old, right? This prince has been in office for a long time, and the most important thing is that your emperor is still an old tree blooming, but he didn't expect to give birth to a seventeenth prince with an age difference of five hundred years in the end, even if he calls his father and brother Mrs. Grandma, it is not a problem. ”

"It would indeed be inconceivable if such a thing happened in the Nether Realm, but in the Qing Realm, it was something that was commonplace and commonplace. ”

Xia Mingyuan didn't think it was funny.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean anything, I just suddenly remembered that I had traveled to the Nether. ”

Dou Yao restrained his smile and said.

He had no reverence for the emperor.

But Xia Mingyuan, who is the head of the Demon Suppression Division, is different.

Not to mention loyalty.

At least Xia Mingyuan had the least respect for the emperor.

"I didn't expect that during the war with the demons, you still had the leisure to travel to the Netherworld. ”

Xia Mingyuan said lightly.

"I'm not someone who represses and binds myself. ”

Dou Yao said lightly.

He will choose to travel in the Nether.

It's nothing more than that today's Qingwei world is full of bloody rain.

As a Terran monk.

Dou Yao will inevitably be involved in this war that has swept the entire Qingwei Realm and is related to the survival of humans and demons.

He no longer knew how many demons had died at his hands.

It's been a long time.

He will inevitably feel tired and depressed.

This is a red flag.

If you suppress yourself for a long time and can't release it, the demons will quietly and unconsciously breed.

Therefore.

Dou Yao disappeared for a while.

During this time, he traveled to the Nether to relax.

This is a world where the aura is depleted and the martial arts are prosperous.

The former ascendants have left behind a series of myths and legends, and over time, I don't know how many thousands of years later.

When the aura of the world begins to dry up.

There is no monk in the world.

On the contrary, it was a different way to create a situation of prosperity in martial arts.

All this is in the eyes of Dou Yao, whose soul has descended to the lower realm.

The warriors of this world are like children.

The only thing that is commendable is the artistic conception cultivated by top martial artists.

Any martial artist who cultivates the artistic conception can affect the other party's mind to a certain extent, and even burst out with extremely strong physical potential.

Pity.

The other party's fight is still too childish after all.

As long as Dou Yao is willing.

He could kill the most powerful warrior in the world with a single look.

This shows the huge disparity between them.

In such a world.

Although Dou Yao can only exert one-thousandth of his strength.

But this one-thousandth strength is enough to make him a god in the eyes of the beings in the lower realm.

However, people in Dou Yao's realm do not have the vulgar idea of claiming to be the king and hegemonic in the lower realm.

It is said to be a distraction.

He's really distracted.

It's like a tourist going around and seeing every place in the Nether.

In a way.

He seems to be no different from today's Xia Fan.

It's just that they are at different heights.

Dou Yao can only play the human world in the Nether.

Xia Fan can play the world in the Qing Micro Realm.

This comparison is a verdict.

So.

Dou Yao can only be regarded as a low-profile version of Xia Fan.

Since I had an open and honest conversation with Meng Yu.

Xia Fan's life has not changed in any way.

Every day, he went to Chongwen Temple on time as usual, and when the time came, he went home from work.

And Meng Yu also returned to his original appearance, and he looked like he didn't care about anyone.

Occasionally, the two meet.

Xia Fan saluted, and Meng Yu responded with a bow.

And then...... And then there was no more.

Although some people felt strange about this, Xia Fan and Meng Yu were silent, and directly let these people go home.

Ordinary days passed day by day.

Xia Fan's colleagues around him have changed wave after wave.

After all, anyone with a little ambition is not willing to stay in Chongwen Academy for a long time, and every time during the Jingcha assessment, these people will move around, often waiting until the Jingcha assessment is over, even if they can't get a satisfactory official position, at least they can leave the ghost place of Chongwenyuan.

Over the years.

Xia Fan didn't know how many colleagues he had witnessed.

In the end, only himself and Meng Yu remained.

Xia Fan and Meng Yu are different.

Meng Yu belongs to people who can leave if they want to leave, and stay if they want to.

And Xia Fan seems to belong to the forgotten people.

In addition, he will not deliberately go to the camp, and it is normal that no one is promoted.

"Have you ever thought about leaving Chongwen Academy?"

Since that conversation.

Xia Fan forgot how many years Meng Yu hadn't taken the initiative to greet him.

Now Xia Fan's image has changed greatly.

is no longer the young image that once looked like a handsome son, but a middle-aged man full of elegant and bookish atmosphere, and even his ears and temples are slightly white.

And Meng Yu was still in good spirits, and he couldn't see any difference from the original.

this day.

Xia Fan was about to go home.

Meng Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Nope. ”

Xia Fan stopped and said softly.

"Do you know that Your Majesty is going to pass the throne to the crown prince?"

Meng Yu stood in front of a bookshelf not far away, seemingly casually rummaging through the books on the shelf in his hand.

"Yes. ”

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

"What do you think about that?"

Meng Yu continued.

"Does my opinion matter?"

Xia Fan did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Yes. ”

Meng Yu said in a deep voice.

"Eventful times are coming, and the curtain is about to open. ”

Xia Fan thought about it and gave his opinion.

"What do you mean by that?"

Meng Yu said directly.

"Soon you'll know. ”

Leave this sentence.

Xia Fan strode out of Chongwen Academy.

Following.

A shocking piece of news spread throughout the Imperial City.

The prince died mysteriously last night.
