Chapter 1174 The Celestial Emperor, the First Emperor (Thanks to Lan Qiu Fourteen Who Isn't Fat for the Silver Alliance)
The Qi dynamic of the place of life-and-death reincarnation surged, representing the rotation and change between the purest Yang energy of life and the most pure Yin energy of death, two absolutely opposing forces. It was incredibly mysterious. The sound of the change between life and death almost had the rhythm of the Great Dao, making people unable to resist becoming immersed in it. But at this moment, even the profound sound of the Great Dao seemed unable to suppress the huge waves in their hearts.
At least, that's how Bai Ze and Kai Ming saw it.
They glanced at the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian who was holding the letter. The latter had been maintaining this state for quite a while. From the moment she received the letter and glanced at it, she had remained in her current state, quietly looking in the direction of the life-and-death reincarnation, lost in a daze.
Kai Ming nudged Bai Ze's shoulder.
He lowered his voice and said, "Hey, hey, what exactly is written on this letter?"
"How did this Dragon Daughter Xian just take one look and turn into this? She looks like she's sick."
Bai Ze played dead and said, "How would I know? She's at least in the first echelon below the Dao Fruit level, and she was a strong person in the Dao Fruit realm before. Even if she's fallen in rank now, I can't see through her."
"I don't know, I don't know."
Kai Ming was furious and couldn't help but jab Bai Ze in the side with his elbow, saying, "Aren't you supposed to be able to see clearly and understand everything?"
"Aren't you supposed to be born with knowledge?"
"Isn't it supposed to be that you know everything about everything in this world just by looking at it?"
"And now you're telling me you don't know?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Bai Ze was furious but still lowered his voice to retort, "What can I do? That person was a strong person at the Dao Fruit level. I, I can't even get my own cultivation method to listen to me. What can I do!"
"Right now, my cultivation method is watching me outside my door every day. If it weren't for you being here, I'd feel a chill down my spine!"
"Besides, aren't you 'Sitting and Seeing the Ten Directions'?"
"You're also at the Dao Fruit level. Now you don't even need the Ten Directions; the letter is right in front of you. Can't you see it?"
Kai Ming was speechless. "I, I!"
The two absolute experts in the Dao of Perception shrunk back there, pushing each other, trying to get the other to break the stiff and awkward atmosphere, but neither of them was willing to speak first, and they didn't dare to make too much noise for fear that the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter would notice.
"Alright, stop arguing."
A clear and calm voice came.
So Kai Ming and Bai Ze, who were pushing each other, fell silent.
They lowered their eyes and focused on their noses and hearts, becoming well-behaved.
They saw that the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter was still standing, holding the letter in her right hand. She raised it and finally threw the letter away, letting it spin and fall into the place of life-and-death reincarnation. In the end, like a candle that had been blown out, it burst out with scattered dim yellow light and then disappeared.
"Hey?! This!"
"Damn..."
Bai Ze and Kai Ming rushed out together, reaching out their hands, and then subconsciously withdrawing them.
They glanced at the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter and then couldn't help but look back at each other, both falling into embarrassment.
The Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian suddenly chuckled and reached out her hand. Immediately, the Qi of life and death in this abyss suddenly rolled and boiled. Then, the divine sword that had been forged burst out with bursts of clear and melodious sounds, and immediately tore through the Qi of life and death, breaking through the air.
Its color was intertwined with black and white, as if it were the reincarnation of life and death, the Yin and Yang energies complementing each other.
Life and death are major events, changing Yin and Yang. Even the gods and immortals who are already beyond life and death in the eyes of ordinary people, when they fall into this vortex of life and death, are trapped here, unable to transcend. The sword energy is entangled like silk threads, but it is also extremely domineering and violent. Even just placing it there already gives off a feeling of change and rotation, absorbing people's energy, spirit, and essence. It is truly an extremely strange divine sword.
"Send this sword to Wei Yuan."
The Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian tapped the sword, causing the divine sword to turn into a stream of light and fly directly in front of Kai Ming and Bai Ze.
Kai Ming and Bai Ze exchanged glances, strangely saying, "We're going to send it?"/
"I mean, aren't you going?"
Kai Ming knew he had let something slip the moment he said that.
He wished he could slap himself in the face, but he didn't move. When he looked up, he saw a look of loneliness on the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter's face. She said faintly, "Whether or not I should go is my own decision, but this sword should be sent back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kai Ming and Bai Ze could no longer see the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter's figure. She had already turned into a遁光 (遁光 dūnguāng - a streak of light formed by a cultivator when flying) and left.
The two of them looked at the divine sword slowly hovering in front of them, sighing complicatedly, and remained silent for a long time.
With their strength and authority, seeing the contents of the letter was, of course, not difficult.
As for whether or not they could resist reading it—
Perhaps there was someone who could resist the curiosity and not look at the contents of the letter.
But Bai Ze and Kai Ming were definitely not on that list.
The reason they were unwilling to break the awkward situation just now was because the environment and atmosphere made even Bai Ze, with his lazy personality, or Kai Ming, with his extremely jovial personality, feel very uncomfortable. Finally, Bai Ze patted Kai Ming and said, "You should send this sword back."
Kai Ming hesitated, "Me?"
Bai Ze rolled his eyes and carefully said, "I always feel like someone needs to watch over this place, right?"
"You're also related to the Kunlun Heavenly Maiden. This Dragon Daughter will get annoyed just looking at you every day. You should leave here quickly."
"Besides, your Nine Heavens Gate should be almost repaired, right?"
A rare solemn expression appeared on Bai Ze's face. "The Nine Heavens Gate is your Dao-proving treasure and also has the characteristic of 'Sitting and Seeing the Ten Directions'. Combined with Wei Yuan's authority of causality, theoretically, he should be able to find any living being within the Ten Directions. The last time it failed was probably because there was only one Heavenly Gate."
"Now that you've completely repaired the Nine Heavens Gate, hurry back and have him find Hou Tu."
"Hou Tu is the Virtue of the Earth."
"Now that Old Buzhou has been revived, if Hou Tu also returns, then the purification of the world will basically be secure. When the fighting starts, we'll be safer in the back."
Kai Ming finally nodded and sighed, agreeing.
Of course, it wasn't Bai Ze's words that convinced him.
In fact, there was only one reason why Kai Ming decided to leave—
There was no choice; he was from Kunlun.
Although what Bai Ze said was a bit far-fetched, the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian had a cold personality.
At least, she was very cold and indifferent to everyone except for that potter.
Such a person was unlikely to vent her anger on others, but the problem was that this cold and indifferent Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian also had an older brother who was originally half of her body and later separated, who, to some extent, was definitely not softer than Fu Xi, the broad-minded, never-holding-grudges Zhujiu Yin.
The Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian wouldn't vent her anger on others.
But the Dragon of Candlelight illuminating the Nine Netherworlds didn't recognize who you were standing with.
He might just beat you up without asking.
Gotta go, gotta go.
Kai Ming sighed and finally swept his sleeves, putting the divine sword with the meaning of [Life-and-Death Reincarnation, Trapping All Living Beings] into his sleeves, and then disappeared as well. Even Bai Ze couldn't see his踪迹 (zōngjì - trace) at the moment. Bai Ze patted his face and pondered for a while before walking towards the Qing-shirted Dragon Daughter Xian.
But he didn't get too close.
At this time, she should make her own decision.
But, would it be a final release, a letting go, a forgetting each other in the martial world?
Or would it be a direct wedding hijacking—
The corner of Bai Ze's mouth twitched.
Ah, this matter is too difficult to see through. Headache, headache.

Wei Yuan went to see the Heavenly Emperor and told him about the resettlement of the Heavenly Demon lineage, hoping to find a place in the Great Wilderness where the Heavenly Demon lineage could recuperate and integrate into the purified world. Di Jun also participated in that battle, so he naturally agreed to Wei Yuan's request without hesitation.
However, he also saw that Wei Yuan's physique had been greatly improved.
So, under the pretext that the Heavenly Demon lineage needed the guarantee of the Primordial Heavenly Lord to survive in the purified world, he fought Wei Yuan.
It was purely a physical sparring with fists and feet.
In the end, the Heavenly Emperor seemed quite satisfied, and although his expression was still cold and indifferent, it had a little more emotion.
"In this way, you finally have some of the aura of the Primordial Heavenly Lord of the Floating Dawn Jade Void."
"Not bad."
"With the addition of the Dao of Cause and Effect, the future may not be worse than the Floating Dawn Jade Void cultivation method."
Wei Yuan rubbed his wrist, feeling the pain of the counter-force from his fists and feet when he was fighting the Heavenly Emperor.
He could only say that he deserved to be the Heavenly Emperor; he had indeed dabbled in all kinds of fields. Even his physical body was an imperishable body of stars. In terms of hardness, it was almost second only to Old Buzhou Mountain. In terms of power, because of the blessing of the power of myriad stars and phenomena, it didn't have such pure hegemony but had more of a rhythm of sudden strength and weakness, and unpredictable changes.
Hearing this, Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and then he said with emotion, "Floating Dawn Jade Void, indeed, you still remember what happened back then."
The Heavenly Emperor said faintly, "Naturally."
"When you truly reach that level, you and I will fight again."
The Heavenly Emperor turned around and walked back to the height of myriad stars and phenomena step by step.
Wei Yuan suddenly said, "By the way, there's one more thing."
"I'm going to get engaged to Jue of Kunlun later. Di Jun, if you have time, would you like to come and have a drink?"
The Heavenly Emperor paused and said calmly, "If I have the leisure."
"You will."
Immediately, he turned into countless stars and dissipated, as if he was unwilling to say another word. Wei Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said loudly, "Then I'll be waiting for you? Whether you come or not, I'll always prepare a drink for you."
The voice spread far away but didn't receive a response. Naturally, he returned to the purified human world with Master Confucius and the Qilin.
The Heavenly Emperor was still sitting in the position between the clear and turbid, In fact, he didn't react to the arrival of the Heavenly Demon in the world of clear Qi. In the long years when this starry sky enveloped the earth, he had always looked down on everything on the earth equally with a way that was ruthless to the Great Dao, but full of affection.
He only took action when it involved the turbid world.
He recognized that good and evil were equal things and could look at all living beings equally.
There were both evil gods and good gods in the Great Wilderness, and in the long and distant time, these were just passing clouds. As for the Heavenly Demons, he only drew a small world and allowed this race, which was naturally good at attacking the level of the true spirit, to thrive in this small world.
Various races in the Great Wilderness often fought each other, and the Heavenly Emperor didn't care about these things in the past.
He would not use external forces to manipulate the development of these races themselves, nor would he impose punishment because of personal joy or anger.
But today, when he looked through the heavens in order to settle the Heavenly Demons, he suddenly discovered an abnormality.
In the Great Wilderness, there were many small kingdoms. The rulers of these small countries were either descendants of heroes or had the blood of gods and were more powerful. They had continued to exist in the Great Wilderness generation after generation. But now, large swaths of small countries had disappeared.
And in the scroll of the national records of the Great Wilderness.
Suddenly, there were large swaths of land connected together.
The Heavenly Emperor spoke peacefully, reciting the common name of these lands:
"【Great Qin】?"
