Chapter 15: The Grace of Salvation

Cheng Chuyang agreed to the request of the coalition army, which was exactly what he couldn't ask for, and the elf clan could only agree to this request, but they asked the beast demon clan to release their clansmen, but Chu Yang and the six saint-level powerhouses of the beast demon clan all vetoed their request, Cheng Chuyang told them that the beast demon clan is one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Continent, and it is impossible for them to put the elven clansmen back, and the beast demon clan also very resolutely vetoed the request of the elf clan, but the beast demon clan promised that they would treat these elf clansmen well, and the elf clan had to give up the original idea when they saw that they couldn't do anythingIn this way, tens of thousands of elves and druids from the Western Continent became the allies of the Xia Yuan Kingdom, and they made great contributions in the previous wars in which the Xia Yuan Kingdom unified the entire Zhongzhou Continent, and finally when the Xia Yuan Kingdom completed the unification of the Zhongzhou Continent, the founding emperor of the Xia Yuan Empire, Cheng Chuyang, the tenth generation of Sun Cheng Tianjie, specially allocated a piece of land with an area of one million square kilometers in the south of the empire and handed it over to them to manage, so that they could help the empire Yongzhen in the south, and agreed that they could build their own country, and the country they established could be called the empire, and their supreme ruler could be called the emperor, but a power word must be added in front, It can be seen how much the Xia Yuan Empire favors these elves from other continents, and those elves who stayed in the grassland tribal alliance have also become a member of the grassland tribal alliance after 10,000 years of naturalization, so we will continue to talk about the above for the imperial prince to hope to be able to marry the elf girl, whether it is the empire or the elves, they are willing to contribute to this beautiful thing, but there is another obstacle between them, that is, the difference in the length of their lives is too far away, to be honest, I can only use the word far, the shortest life span of the elves is more than a thousand years old, And the eldest princess's biological mother's strength at that time was already a high-level elementalist and she was also a great forest ranger, as the name suggests, that is, any enemy in the forest is not their opponent, this is a young woman with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, so her lifespan is three thousand years old, if she can go one level to become an elemental sage and forest master, then her lifespan will be infinitely extended, and at that time she was only more than two hundred years old, this age is only equivalent to twenty-five or sixteen years old in the human race, but although Cheng Mingci at that time was a person with swordsman cultivation, it was not obtained in battle, but after countless high-grade pills fed, the actual combat experience can not be said to be none, but it is really not much, if it is normal, his lifespan will be more than a hundred years old, such a life span is great among ordinary humans, but compared with the elf race, it is simply boundless, so the elf clan invited out two ancestors, that is, the only one left to lead the elf clan to the Western Continent A saint-level powerhouse of the elf clan and a saint-level powerhouse of the druid clan, There are also five saint-level elf powerhouses who were later promoted in the war, one of them is a saint-level elemental master, and the other four are all saint-level elves, plus the druid saint-level powerhouse and the three druid nature saints who were later promoted, plus a hundred elemental sages and five hundred forest masters and five hundred druid jungle masters, they carry out a very ancient sacrificial activity of the elf clan together, which is called the Great Sacrifice of Life Balance, and they do not hesitate to consume their years of cultivation to sacrifice at least ten years of their cultivation to the goddess of life, so that the goddess of life can bless the two people who accept the great sacrifice of life, so that their lives can reach a balanceHowever, this kind of great sacrifice is very uneconomical for the elf side, because their lives will not increase because of this great sacrifice technique, and it may even decrease, but for foreign races, it is very beneficial, because no matter what, their lives will not decrease, but will increase, if the two sides are not very strong and have a very high status in their respective races, then it is impossible for the elf clan to perform such a great sacrifice technique, but fortunately, when the sacrifice is completed, Cheng Mingci's lifespan suddenly got more than three thousand years old, if the situation is normal, then he will be one of the longest life expectants among human beings, and it is not a saint-level powerhouse who has cultivated to the holy level, because this is the only time that the elf clan has done such a life sacrifice in the west or the east.

And why the elves have to make such a sacrifice, the reason is very simple, because the grace of saving the clan more than 10,000 years ago, the elves and druids have not forgotten for generations, and an elf woman can tie the knot with a man of the human royal family is a very worthy celebration for both races and will be passed on as a good story, after marriage the two are very affectionate, Cheng Mingci at that time as an idle prince he spent almost all his time on his wife, and his elf wife was also unwilling to leave her husband for a moment, in the tenth year after their marriage they finally had their own children, that is, the eldest princess of the empire mentioned above, Cheng Xiuyi, you must know that it is not easy for an elf family to be able to give birth to a child after ten years of marriage, which shows that our future emperor His Majesty is much better than him in terms of fertility as an emperor, this news makes the empire and the elf empire very happy, the father of the emperor of the empire at that time, Cheng Xiuran personally gave the name Xiuyi, and enjoys the title and treatment of the princess, which is also unique in the history of the empire, because in the history of the empire, it is normal for His Majesty the Emperor to give names to boys in the clan, but there is only one girl, Not to mention that the daughter of a prince can enjoy the title and treatment of the princess, and the emperor of the Elven Empire at that time also gave the child the name of an elf clan, Norvia, this name means nature or life in the elven language, and also enjoys the title of princess and treatment, and His Majesty of the two emperors gave the name to this girl and let her enjoy the title of princess, it is conceivable that the two clans pay attention to this girl, not only that, at that time, the closed disciples of the two major religions of the Xia Yuan Empire, the head of the Zen Sect, the head of the Yunlong Shangren, and the head of the Wuliang Sect, Yuan Yangzi, all had to accept the princess of the new two empires as their closed disciples, You must know that these two are all saint-level masters, one is the great Venerable Shakyamitha of Zen (note: Zen is a foreign religion, in its birthplace is called Shakyamita Buddhism, in order to adapt to the habits of the Xia Yuan people so translated as Zen Buddhism) (Note 2 Venerable in Zen is the name of the saint) ( Note 3 Shakyamitha is the founder of Zen Buddhism, according to legend is a prince of a small kingdom, he once again saw the suffering of the people in a private interview, so he planned to use his life to eliminate suffering and poverty, so he founded Shakyamita Sect, that is, the Zen religion of the East, the title of Shakyamita Venerable is a title for people who have great cultivation and great ability in Zen Buddhism) The other is the sword saint of the Immeasurable Sect, and the two even did not hesitate to do so, and finally the child's mother came forward to dissuade the two, and then she came up with a compromise method, that is, the two masters taught the child together, so that the two reluctantly agreed, There is also the fact that the two empires sent a huge group of teachers to teach Her Royal Highness the princess, but the good times did not last long, on the day of Cheng Xiuyi's eighth birthday, the Xia Yuan Empire suddenly named Cheng Mingci as the crown prince of the empire, because several brothers above Cheng Mingci either died early or failed in the political struggle, and finally cheapened Cheng Mingci, the prince, but as the future successor of the empire, it is also one of his tasks to reproduce children, and the low fertility of the elves is a well-known thing, the two have been married for more than 20 years, and they are still a girl for a thousand acres, if it is a boy, the empire does not mind having an imperial prince with elf blood, even the crown prince and the emperor, but she is just a princess, although this princess is loved by the emperor and the subjects of the empire, but in the history of the founding of the country and the unification of the entire continent for more than 2,000 years, there have been one hundred and sixty kings and nineteen emperors, they are all men, there has never been a female ruler in the history of the empire, and the empire and the people of the empire do not intend to have a female emperor in the future history, so the empire came forward to ask the elf empire to persuade the princess to leave Cheng Mingci and her daughter, but Cheng Mingci resolutely opposed, he said that he would rather not be this prince, and even the prince will not be separated from his wifeIn the end, the emperor reluctantly agreed that if they could give birth to a boy when Cheng Mingci was still the crown prince, as long as one was fine, then the empire allowed them to continue to live together, and the empire didn't mind having an elf queen, but if they couldn't give birth to a boy, then the two people had to separate, and finally the two reluctantly agreed to this request under the pressure of their respective countries, so Cheng Mingci, as the crown prince of the empire, ran to the crown princess for a day, and even many occasions that should be attended by the prince were exempt, and finally even ordinary people knew that the crown prince and his wife made people together in order to be able to give birth to a boyThirty years later, when the emperor died Cheng Mingci ascended the throne, it was not his elf wife who stood beside him to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, but a noble woman of the human race, and his elf wife finally left him and returned to the elf empire to become an elder of the elf empire, it is said that the elf empire even nominated her as one of the candidates for the next emperor of the elf empire in order to make up for her, because the emperor of the elf empire is not hereditary, but elected by the imperial elf elders.

And the eldest princess of the empire, the daughter of the two of them, also quietly left the Xia Yuan Empire after her mother left, and came to Sanqing Mountain, where one of her teachers, Yuan Yangzi, cultivated, originally she planned to follow her mother to the Elf Empire to accompany her mother, but the Xia Yuan Empire resolutely disagreed, they thought that the eldest princess of the empire was so noble, how could she be in a foreign country? This is a desecration of the dignity of the Xia Yuan Empire, and Cheng Xiuyi is unwilling to stay in the palace every day to watch her father live with another woman, so she can only come to the teacher's side in the name of learning art to practice various spells and martial arts, and Yuan Yangzi's poor child's life experience has almost taught what he has learned in his life, and Cheng Xiuyi can be said to be the most talented one among the hundred disciples of Yuan Yangzi, before he spent ten years before his retreat, he taught all what he had learned to his disciple, during which her other teacher Dacheng Shangren also came to Sanqingshan and lived in Sanqingshan for a long time to teach her various skills, but there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and his two teachers are about to retreat to the stage of cultivating into gods.
