A pair of eyes quietly opened. He endured the pain all over his body, but did not make a sound. Instead, he closed his eyes immediately, then squeezed out a small slit and quietly looked at the surrounding environment.
After making sure that his surroundings were safe, he opened his eyes, raised his hands to cover his forehead, and kept recalling what happened before in his mind.
The Immortal Ascension Conference, the sacrifices, the summoning of the true demon... he could not remember what happened after that.
What exactly happened at the Immortal Ascension Conference?
"you're awake?"
Just when Ji Xiu was confused, a figure came from outside the cabin, holding a plate of grilled fish in his hand.
"Get up and eat quickly. This is fish grilled by Mr. Tu himself."
"Mr. Tu?"
Ji Xiu stood up from the bed, his eyes full of doubts: "Brother Ziji, what happened at the Immortal Ascension Conference?"
"well……"
Zi Ji sighed and came to Ji Xiu's side with the grilled fish: "You have been unconscious for almost a day, so you should eat something first. After eating, go to Mr. Tu and he will tell you everything."
"……good."
Ji Xiu didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks and started stuffing the grilled fish into his mouth.
Although he comes from a royal family, he is not a pampered person, so he naturally eats whatever can fill his stomach.
A roasted fish weighing one kilogram was stuffed into his stomach in just more than ten breaths.
After Ji Xiu finished eating, the first thing he did was look at Zi Ji.
His eyes were full of hope and desire.
Desire for truth.
"Okay, let's go."
Ziji put away the wooden plate and waved his hand: "But you have to be mentally prepared in advance. There are some things... If you can't accept it and it's hard to tell Mr. Tu, then senior brother will be waiting for you here in the cabin. Tell him
That’s good.”
"Okay, thank you, senior brother."
Ziji replied and rushed out of the cabin without looking back.
At this moment, the sky is dark, and the boat is sailing under the stars, facing the moonlight and listening to the evening breeze.
Yunze was sitting on the bow of the boat, stroking the guqin on his lap, looking down at the horizon, and playing a few notes from time to time, but no music was formed.
"Master."
Ji Xiu came behind Yunze, cupped his hands and said, "This is what we are..."
"Getting ready to go back to Tongtian Academy."
Ji Xiu frowned. With just this sentence, he vaguely guessed something.
Forget it if it's other monks, the mortal world will be cut off sooner or later, so there's no harm in leaving early.
But his parents were somehow related to him, so it was impossible for him to leave directly without saying goodbye to his parents after experiencing such a big event.
Unless...something happens at home!
However, he did not directly ask, but asked along the way: "Go back to Tongtian Academy? Mr. Tu, I haven't said goodbye to my parents and brothers at home yet."
"Your brother left first. He wanted to go back to the Immortal Mansion to report on his work. He said he would find an opportunity to come to the academy to see you in the future."
Yunze replied calmly.
This is indeed a fact. After he came out of Chengtian Palace, he rushed to Xianhui immediately and found Yu Xian who was still sleeping in Yehuan Tower.
This guy, such a big thing happened but he didn't wake up.
When Yun Ze just woke him up, Ji Shan also came to find him, and the two of them told him everything that happened in the Immortal Ascension Conference.
He, as an inspector with an inspection order, is obviously not qualified to handle this matter. At least he has to wait until he reaches the real Nascent Soul realm to be qualified.
One hundred thousand people, one dynasty, and three hundred and sixty-five so-called truths in the world.
This southeastern sky is probably about to experience a major earthquake!
Yu Xian did not dare to stay longer, and Yun Ze did not chat with him much. He just agreed that after the dust settled, Yu Xian would come to Tongtian Academy to find him as soon as possible.
Even if he can't come, he will still use the jade slips to communicate with him.
After saying that, Yu Xian immediately took Ji Shan to the nearby Xianfu office, and Yunze had no choice but to take Zi Ji and Ji Xiu to Tongtian Academy.
If he didn't go back early, he might not be able to withstand something if he encountered something else on the way.
When Ji Xiu heard this, he frowned visibly, and his tone couldn't help but become more panicked: "What about my father and mother? Are they still okay after such a big thing happened in Chengtian Royal City?"
We are still talking about this...
"well."
Yunze sighed and raised his hand to fall on Ji Xiu's head: "After you fainted, the magic circle shattered, the earth trembled, and the consciousness of the real demon emerged from under the Nine Netherworld, inducing ordinary people to kneel down and offer sacrifices, and finally broke the golden elixir.
, to become a demon baby.
All the people in Chengtian King City died, including your mother and queen. Later, a powerful Nascent Soul descended and killed the Demon Infant.
After I took care of the affairs of the Immortal Ascension Conference, I rushed to the palace. At that time, your father was the only one left alive in the palace.
When he saw me coming, he only said one thing to me and asked me to relay it to you."
In just a few words, Yunze told Ji Xiu everything that happened yesterday.
Although he is only seven years old now, he will always have to face all this.
Ji Xiu clenched his fists, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
He looked up at Yunze and asked in a low voice: "Father...what did he say?"
"Those who kill their father, kill their mother, and destroy their country are the demons of Jiuyou. If you succeed in your cultivation in the future, kill the demons for me and the people!"
Yunze informed Ji Xiu of Ji Lanshan's last words, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes: "This is your father. What I want to tell you at the end, do you understand what it means?"
"clear."
Ji Xiu lowered his head: "My father asked me to kill demons and take revenge, but he won't let me restore my country."
"As long as you understand."
What Yunze is most worried about right now is that this genius boy has never recovered after receiving the news.
However, judging from his previous reaction of not crying or making trouble, it is unlikely that he will recover after a setback.
This kid will either focus on the restoration of the country, or he will focus on training from now on, just to kill the devil and avenge him!
Nowadays, it seems that the latter is more likely.
Yunze rubbed his head gently: "Go back and rest. We are still half a month away from Tongtian Academy. It should be enough time for you to digest it slowly."
"No."
Ji Xiu raised his head, with tears still in his eyes: "Master, I want to learn something! The sooner I practice, the sooner I can avenge my parents!"
"You go back and rest today."
Yunze frowned slightly: "When you feel at peace, come to me to practice again."
"But Master..."
"obedient!"
"All right."
Ji Xiu responded, bowed and returned to the cabin.
Yunze looked at Ji Xiu's back and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The Ji Xiu in front of him looked very much like him back then.
Didn't he also want revenge at the beginning, and then he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality?
It's a pity that he is not Xiao Hanshi.
As far as teaching disciples is concerned, he is a pure newcomer. If he is a genius under normal circumstances, it would be fine. Isn't it just to solve the problems in skills and cultivation?
But Ji Xiu's current state and mood are obviously not right. If he is not careful, he may go astray.
He would not dare to lead him to practice in this state.
Even...he was still considering whether he really wanted to take Ji Xiu under his tutelage.
Four attributes of heavenly spiritual root, mutated soul!
For such qualifications, even if he were handed down from the Emperor himself, he might not have a chance to strive for them.
He is just a foundation builder. I am afraid that after he reaches Nascent Soul, he will still be worried about how to condense the elixir, right?
never mind.
Yunze shook his head and turned to look at the horizon again.
Let's wait until we get back to talk about these things. I'm afraid those emperors now have no intention of accepting disciples.
…
…………
In the southeast sky, above a small town in a certain country.
The evening breeze blew, swaying the lanterns on the eaves, and the dim candlelight flickered, reflecting on the corpses on the ground.
There is now no one alive in the entire town.
No, to be precise, there is no living mortal.
Each of them died in a highly consistent manner...kneel down, kowtow, and worship!
Just like those mortals in Chengtian King City back then.
At the edge of the town, several monks wearing dark purple robes passed by the corpses.
They all held a crutch made of forest white spines in their hands and walked in the same direction.
When they arrived at the center of the town, there were already people standing there who were dressed very similar to them.
The number is at least close to a hundred people.
But no one spoke, not even a sound.
As more and more dark purple robes appeared, the whole town gradually became lively.
The town that originally contained only corpses was soon filled with people, each one wearing dark purple robes and holding a forest-white spine.
Buzz!
It exploded with a trembling sound!
All the dark purple robes raised their heads and looked towards the center of the town.
I saw a trace of scarlet rising slowly, accompanied by everyone's gaze, and finally hovering under the bright moonlight.
The person was wearing a scarlet robe, and a huge hood completely obscured her face. Her specific appearance could not be clearly seen, and she could only vaguely tell that she was a woman from her figure.
There was no trace of curiosity in everyone's eyes, and they all stared intently at the crystal skull in his hand.
"The Holy Clan sends an edict!"
boom!
When the word "Four" fell, all the people in dark purple robes knelt on their knees and looked up into the sky!
A wisp of dark purple rose quietly, attaching to the crystal skull, and a purple cloud suddenly emerged from the empty eyes.
Dang~
A strange shaking sound slowly sounded, and everyone's eyes were filled with enthusiasm.
"Nine Netherworlds will appear! The Holy Spirit descends to the southeast!"
"Nine Netherworlds will appear! The Holy Spirit descends to the southeast!"
As the cheers gradually reached their peak, the purple spirit on the crystal skull also gradually receded.
"God bless me Southeast Xuantian!"
Seeing this, the scarlet-robed man raised his head high with both hands: "Welcome the true saint to come and transform me from this mortal world into a saint!"
"Welcome to the arrival of the true saint, who will transform me from this mortal world into a saint!"
