Nie Kong stood in front of him with his hands behind his back. He was tall and imposing, but for some reason, Lin Fan always felt that there was an indescribable weird feeling about him.
Lin Fan came back from the fairy mountains overseas and came to see Nie Kong as soon as possible.
Tell him what happened in the fairy mountains overseas.
After finishing speaking, Nie Kong didn't respond. He just stood quietly with his back to Lin Fan.
No words were spoken and no movement was made.
Lin Fan felt something was wrong.
It seemed... there was a feeling of twilight, as if he was not facing Nie Kong, the master of the Kaiou Palace, who dominated the world, but a twilight old man.
Based on Nie Kong's cultivation, he is far from being "old" now, and can even be said to be in his prime.
The Great Emperor of the Northern Territory can be regarded as an ancient powerful man who has entered his old age. After all, he is older than Nie Kong and is an era earlier than Nie Kong.
Nie Kong was in his prime, full of energy and blood.
Why is there such an air of twilight?
The reason why Lin Fan can feel these things is also due to the Supreme Law. If he hadn't possessed the Supreme Law, he would not have been able to detect it even if he broke through to eternity.
Even Luo Wuji couldn't notice it.
Just when Lin Fan was confused, Nie Kong slowly turned around.
His appearance is still that of an elegant middle-aged man, but there is an imperceptible look of grayness in his eyes.
But it flashed by and disappeared quickly.
"Xiaofan."
Nie Kong spoke slowly.
"Yes." Lin Fan cheered up.
"The Great Emperor of the Northern Territory gave you an Emperor's Order?" Nie Kong asked.
"Yes, Lord."
Lin Fan said, holding up his hands, a token appeared.
It was the Great Emperor of the Northern Territory who gave him the token.
Seeing this, Nie Kong smiled slightly, seemed to be relieved, and said: "Xiaofan, do you know what this token represents?"
Lin Fan said: "The Northern Emperor just said that with this token in hand, some people will not dare to take action against me."
"Hahaha!"
Nie Kong laughed and said, "It's not wrong for you to understand it this way, but it's not enough."
"The Great Emperor of the Northern Territory is an ancient and powerful man of the older generation. He is a figure of the same era as my master. Almost all people of the same era as him have disappeared into the long river of history and turned into dust."
"Although Eternal has a vast lifespan, it is not immortal after all."
"The ancient and powerful men of the previous generation have reached the end of their lives one by one, and have withered and fallen."
"The Great Emperor of the Northern Territory is proficient in health preservation. The techniques he practices are endless. Although he is not outstanding in combat, he can maintain a long life."
A touch of sadness appeared on Nie Kong's face.
Eternal and eternal sounds awesome.
But after all, it is not immortality, and it is impossible to live forever.
In the end, they will all reach the end of their lives.
It's just a matter of living a few more years than ordinary people.
Speaking of which, it is quite helpless.
"Normally speaking, the average lifespan of the ancient powerful men is tens of millions of years, and the most is no more than 15 million years. However, the Northern Emperor has survived for more than 20 million years and is a truly long-lived emperor."
"During these long years, the Great Emperor of the Northern Territory has traveled around the world and helped many people. Some of the people he helped were lost to everyone, some died sadly, and some grew up and became Taoists.
The top strong man in the world.”
"For example, me, Xiao Yi, the leader of the Sword Sect."
Hearing this, Lin Fan was slightly shocked.
Unexpectedly, people as powerful as Nie Kong and Xiao Yi had all inherited the kindness of the Northern Emperor.
This actually reminded him of scenes from some online novels on Earth.
The immortals randomly helped some people, and these people later became gods and ancestors and achieved great achievements.
Nie Kong continued: "Therefore, in terms of personal connections, in the entire Taoist world, the Northern Emperor is ranked second, and no one really dares to claim to be the first."
"No one knows exactly how strong he is, but his connections are enough to make everyone fear him."
"This is also one of the reasons why Wang Sheng, Gu Nieqiong and the others dare not openly oppose the Northern Territory Emperor."
"In the past five million years, the Great Emperor of the Northern Territory has begun to keep a low profile, living in seclusion in the fairy mountains overseas, and has accepted three disciples. All three of his disciples hold an Emperor's Order. This is a struggle for status."
"And now, the Northern Emperor has sent the fourth Emperor's Order, which is the one in your hand."
"Although the Great Emperor's Token is not an eternal treasure, or even an eternal spiritual treasure, its material is special and its strength is comparable to the eternal treasure. It can withstand the attacks of eternal monks."
"Furthermore, the Emperor's Order means that the Emperor of the Northern Territory is standing behind you. Taking action against you is equivalent to taking action against the Emperor of the Northern Territory, which will make many people afraid."
"In addition, with the Emperor's Order in hand, you can ask someone who has received the favor of the Northern Territory Emperor to do something for you."
"For example, you can ask me to do something for you in the name of the Emperor's Order now. As long as it doesn't violate my principles or my true heart, I won't refuse."
Hearing this, Lin Fan was suddenly shocked.
The Emperor's Order actually has such an effect!
Lin Fan knew that it had strong defense and represented the protection of the Northern Territory Emperor.
What he didn't know was that the Emperor's Order could actually call on those who had been helped by the Northern Territory Emperor to help!
This... doesn't it mean there are a lot more free "thugs"?
Of course, Lin Fan would not rely too much on this, and he would not use the Emperor's Order if it was not necessary.
Those strong men received help from the Northern Emperor, not Lin Fan. Not to mention whether they still recognized the Emperor's order after so many years, even if they did, Lin Fan did not want to rely too much on it.
After all, one's own strength is the foundation, and using the Emperor's Order consumes the Northern Emperor's favor and face.
Nie Kong said again: "The emperor ordered you to keep it. It can save your life at a critical moment. The Northern Emperor didn't tell you this because he probably didn't want you to rely too much on foreign objects and cause problems with your own cultivation.
"
"But I know you better. I know you don't know how to do it, so I told you."
"When necessary, you can integrate your essence and blood into the Emperor's Order, and you can obtain information about all the powerful people who have received help from the Emperor of the Northern Territory. You can ask them for help at critical moments."
"I understand, thank you Palace Master for your guidance."
Lin Fan clasped his fists in thanks.
"It doesn't matter."
Nie Kong waved his hand with a smile, and then said: "Originally, I was still thinking about how to convince that guy, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about it. As long as you go there with the Emperor's Order, he will know what to do."
Lin Fan asked in confusion: "What did the Palace Master say?"
"Sword Sect."
Nie Kong narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "I have a letter of repair here. Take it with you and leave immediately for the Sword Sect to meet Xiao Yi, the leader of the Sword Sect in person."
"Then, take out the Great Emperor's Order and show it to him."
"He just knew what to do."
After finishing his words, Nie Kong raised his right hand and put his index and middle fingers together.
Between his fingers, there was a red-gold light flickering slightly.
Then with a slight tap of his finger, the light flashed and disappeared into Lin Fan's eyebrows.
