Both Hong Jin and Elder Gu chose to practice on the territory of the Lake Kings. After practicing, they would drink tea and chat with the immortal pets in the Miao Realm. They learned that the reason why so many immortals in the Miao Realm never left was because of the Emperor Miao.
Afraid that they would bully the local mortals, they immediately respected the Miao Emperor like a torrential river.
Elder Gu was extremely envious, while Hong Jin thought about the gap between himself and Yan Qingzheng. It seemed that Yan Qingzheng and Emperor Miao had the same ideas to some extent, so she could become a guest of Miao Realm.
.
I really can’t envy this kind of thing, because ideas can’t be faked, and even if they are faked for a while, the truth will be revealed over time.
However, he can change his philosophy. Hong Jin feels that he is still very aware of current affairs.
They drank together again that day, and this time Hong Jin secretly hid it in Najie and invited Kui's former subordinates to drink.
When they were half drunk, those people suddenly mentioned Kui. They didn't know the inside story. They just thought that Kui had done something wrong and was severely punished by Emperor Miao and was demoted to a mortal!
Only then did Hong Jin know why Kui was not in Miaojing.
He was no longer in the mood for drinking, and went around looking for Yan Qingzheng. He wanted to ask if there was such a reverse operation in the immortal world, to reduce the immortal to the mortal?
As a result, before Yan Qingzheng was found, he figured it out that only a strong person above the Immortal King could do such a thing.
Even if she becomes a mortal, she can still ascend to immortality if she continues to practice. It is said that Aoi's immortal roots have not been broken.
Hong Jin also believed that Emperor Miao was punishing Kui. After all, it was a bit harsh for a person who had been an immortal for a hundred thousand years to suddenly be knocked back to his original form.
They all thought that Aoi had been knocked back to the transformation stage, and that her cultivation level was enough to survive comfortably in the mortal world.
Just at this time, the person who went to King Xunhe to inquire about the information came back and said that Yan Xi and his wife had finished their training there and would move here to continue their training today.
Hong Jin laughed loudly and said, "Oh my, now we have to meet old friends!"
In the afternoon of the next day, Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue arrived. Hong Jin's expression changed, and the momentum of these two people obviously increased a lot...
"It seems that you have been training hard there." Hong Jin felt a little uncomfortable and felt a little guilty about his choice. Was he afraid of being unfriendly there, so he deliberately chose this place.
Look at this couple, they haven't practiced hard for many years. As long as they get serious, they will choose the most difficult environment and they will improve quickly.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Yan Xi took him to drink.
Although Hong Jin and Yan Xi were once love rivals, things have long since changed and the two can be considered close friends.
After drinking for three rounds, Yan Xi admitted that the two of them suffered a lot from King Xunhe, but it was not as hard as they imagined. Then he chuckled and said, "They gave birth to a good daughter!"
Yan Xi learned about those people's concerns from their subsequent conversations, and was dumbfounded.
At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of injury and suffering, but he was afraid of Nalan Lianyue's suffering. Now that these people did not dare to kill him, they had to deal with it cruelly, which satisfied his wishes.
Hong Jin thought of his wife and said with a wry smile: "I really envy you and your wife that you may be able to stay together in the fairy world in the future. Zhuo Jing and I... only have this life."
"Why do you respect Madam..." Yan Xi asked.
"Her talent can be cultivated to the middle stage at most. Let alone ascending, there is no possibility in the later stage. So we agreed from the beginning that we would not leave any heirs." Hong Jin said in a pretentious and carefree manner.
Yan Xi was silent for a moment. Everyone's choices are different and they will suffer different consequences.
He and his wife Nalan Lianyue had sincerely given up cultivating immortals, and then they got married and had children. Thinking of Yan Songzheng who was no longer alive, Yan Xi couldn't hide the pain in his heart.
He also needs to bear the consequences of his original choice. Even with the talents of the two of them, not every child can have immortal roots. Yan Qingzheng and Yan Songzheng are like two extremes. As a father, he
Love both, but cannot accompany both.
"My lady must have also realized what you are doing here and why. She should know everything."
"How could I not know that I would be in such a hurry?
Ascension through cultivation was also the result of her urging. She said she didn’t want me to delay my ascension just for a few decades. Besides, I was not only her husband, but also the master of the Ghost Sword Sect. Whether I could ascend or not would also determine the ghost’s ascension.
The future of the Sword Sect. She said, let me set an example for the disciples of the Ghost Sword Sect!" Hong Jin said, his eyes became moist. Although he liked Nalan Lian Yue when he was young and frivolous, but in the following years,
Here, he and his wife enjoy each other, and their relationship is extraordinary.
Yan Xi said: "My lady is of high righteousness."
Hong Jin burst into tears as he laughed: "She also said that she wanted to watch me ascend and treat me as if I had died first... She said that she did not want to be a widow and would find a young man to spend the rest of her life with..."
Yan Xi admired her: "Your Majesty, you are truly a hero among women."
"Well, I know she is! It's just limited to talent, otherwise her achievements will never be inferior to mine!" Hong Jin raised his head and smiled. He promised his wife that he would never shed a tear over this matter, so he had to hold it back.
"How has Master Hong Clan gained in the past few years?" Seeing that the topic was too heavy, Yan Xi had to find another topic.
"Yeah!" Hong Jin nodded seriously, "It's better than the outside world for decades!"
As he spoke, he became confused again: "When it comes to cultivation, I have already felt the calamity, but for some reason I always feel that something is missing..."
Yan Xi was not sure, so she guessed: "Is it because the Hong Clan Master cannot let go of Madam and the Ghost Sword Clan in his heart, and is not determined enough to ascend?"
Hong Jin gritted his teeth and frowned, thinking for a long time, then said dejectedly: "This...if this is really the case, what should we do?"
If the worries in his heart could be controlled by himself, it would be easier to handle. But how can a person's heart be controlled? He clamored all day long that he wanted to ascend, and was extremely anxious, but he was just eager to prove himself. As the master of the Ghost Sword Sect, he
I don’t want to be looked down upon by others.
Yan Xi saw that this was indeed due to worldliness, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Actually, regarding this point, I think the Hongmen should think more from the perspective of the noble lady."
"How do you say that?" Hong Jin, not good at using his brain, asked.
"Just like Master Hong said himself, you have reached the peak of your cultivation level, but you still can't sense the catastrophe. I can realize that you are bound by love and others can guess it. Think about what will happen to your wife?
Will she feel that her own existence has hindered your attainment of immortality? If she hears some more gossips...it is fortunate that your lady has a broad mind and a tenacious temperament, otherwise...it may lead to a catastrophe!"
Yan Xi's words were not alarmist. Hong Jin's expression changed drastically when he heard it.
He stood up suddenly, his mind was running rapidly, and he finally started to analyze seriously when it came to his wife.
Shaking his head slowly, he still couldn't believe his speculation: "No, it won't be...but...she has to be strong all her life. If someone talks nonsense in front of her..."
"No, I have to go back and take a look!" Hong Jin ran away in a hurry. Yan Xi stared for a long time before he was convinced that Hong Jin had really left like this.
Thinking of the reason for his sudden departure, Yan Xi couldn't help but frown: "No... I really guessed it!"
I quickly found Nalan Lianyue and was still worried when talking about this matter.
Nalan Lianyue smiled: "Two grown men, how come they got involved in this while talking!"
Yan Xi was stunned and hesitated: "Lian'er, in your opinion, Mrs. Hong is not like this?"
Nalan Lianyue sighed: "Only when a woman's head is filled with water will she choose to commit suicide for the sake of her lover's future."
"Oh? What's the explanation?"
"Since a woman is devoted to her husband, she definitely doesn't want her husband to suffer, right?" Nalan Lianyue said, looking at Yan Xi's reaction, seeing him nodding and continuing: "If an infatuated woman falls in love with a selfish man,
A man may choose to hurt himself in order to fulfill the other person. But Hong Jin is obviously not that kind of person. He and Mrs. Hong have a deep relationship with each other. If Mrs. Hong is determined to ascend in order to let him completely break away from the world, she will not commit suicide.
Because of Hong Jin’s temperament, if Mrs. Hong really did this, he would probably feel so guilty that he would give up his ascension, or even die!”
"That makes sense!" Yan Xi patted his thigh. He was always rational, so naturally he wouldn't do that.
Thoughts. But if it is a woman...it seems that he is narrow-minded. There are such truly sober people among women.
What I despise the most is the kind of person who sacrifices himself and is moved by himself. Sacrifice and dedication are just to fulfill his pursuit of noble morality, but leave the infamy and guilt to the one he loves deeply. How stupid! How annoying!
As expected, Hong Jin came back within a few days, smiling silly.
"She said, let me stop cursing her!"
A few days later, Hong Jin said, "I'm leaving. In three months, please come to the Ghost Sword Sect to see me off!"
Yan Xi nodded solemnly and promised to be there by then.
"If I really... no, regardless of success or failure, please Lian Yue accompany her." Hong Jin finally asked.
"Don't worry." Yan Xi agreed on behalf of Nalan Lianyue.
Two months later, the two finally decided to leave the Miao Realm. Yan Qingzheng was very surprised: "Why, my father has sensed a catastrophe now?"
"That's not the case. I just went to see off an old friend."
Yan Qingzheng just knew that Hong Jin was finally going to survive the catastrophe. It was said that the immortal energy in Yuling Realm had decreased over the years, and she could no longer feel the catastrophe of others.
"Then let's go back and see if Ruying has any spiritual weapons that can help."
"That's right... although Lord Hong has his own ninth-grade spiritual weapon, one more item can always provide more guarantee."
The news that Hong Jin was about to overcome the tribulation spread as he left the Miao Realm. Elder Gu couldn't sit still. To be honest, he felt that he was wasting his quota by coming to the Miao Realm to practice.
But he was reluctant to let him give up. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to observe the Tribulation at close range, so he said goodbye and left.
Yan Xi, Nalan Lianyue, Yan Qingzheng and Rong Che returned to Guiyi Sect, found a ninth-grade spiritual weapon suitable for Hong Jin from Nalan Ruying, and then set off for the Ghost Sword Sect.
It was Rong Che's first time here. Now he has entered the late stage of Xiantian, and finally he no longer enjoys the highest level of hospitality based on his title as Mr. Yan Qingzhenghusband.
Yan Qingzheng entrusted Yan Xi, as the representative of the Guiyi Sect, to give Hong Jin a sword to help him overcome the disaster.
He also proposed that he use it as soon as possible so that he can fully utilize the effect of the spiritual weapon.
Nalan Lianyue went to find Mrs. Hong, and it was the first time the two of them sat down and talked so peacefully.
"I know he can't trust me, so you don't have to come all the way. Regardless of whether he succeeds in overcoming the tribulation or not, I will stay at Ghost Sword Sect and guard him." Mrs. Hong's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about family matters, but
Nalan Lianyue heard an extremely firm belief from it.
