When Luo Xue stepped into the central control room, Emperor Dugu had already sensed the immortal will emanating from her, but he didn't care.
No matter what the relationship between Luo Xue and the Nangong family is, it will not affect this transaction.
"I want to know what the casualty rate is for the immortals who have been fighting for many years?" Luo Xue asked directly.
This was a question she asked herself. Li Guijiao could only answer professional questions. Matters like testing Dugu Di's strength were all led by Luo Xue.
"... ..."
Emperor Dugu hesitated for a while, but after sighing, he said,
"About... 80%."
This is an astonishing number, which means that the current Xianlu Army actually only has less than 20% of its combat effectiveness at its peak.
After establishing the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, Emperor Dugu had been recuperating and had not continued to fight wars. The biggest reason was that the Immortal Army was severely damaged. The once invincible fleet could only rely on a few intact Immortal Armies to barely hold on.
Originally, Emperor Dugu didn't want to hand over his secrets so quickly, but after Luo Xue pointed it out directly, he had already fallen into the trap of this deal.
"What about the completely destroyed Xianlu?"
Luo Xue pondered for a moment and asked again.
Each question was extremely harsh, like a sharp blade, piercing through Emperor Dugu's vital points.
But one has to admit that Emperor Dugu did not have the right to remain silent. This was the first time he had to bow his head in front of a Nascent Soul junior.
"Thirty percent, this thirty percent cannot be self-repaired." Dugudi calmed down and said, "The rest of the damage varies, but basically they can no longer be used in the short term."
"What percentage of the Xianlu Army did you bring this time? How many Xianlu ships like the main ship do you have? And... where did you get the Xianlu?" Luo Xue quickly threw out three more questions.
"I... I say, the questions you ask are really too sensitive. These are the highest secrets of the Great Qin Dynasty."
Emperor Dugu stopped pretending and said with a wry smile, "Also, the matter of obtaining the Immortal Slaughter also involves another very important secret of mine."
Luo Xue nodded to show her understanding, and then continued,
"Just tell me whether you will answer or not."
Emperor Dugu: "..."
This little girl just won't listen to any advice!
Emperor Dugu knew very well that Luo Xue was testing his bottom line and how much price he could accept.
Smart people don't need to say much, just a few words are enough for a confrontation, but now it is obvious that he is naturally at a disadvantage.
Unless he could offer Luo Xue a price that she couldn't refuse, what was missing from Luo Xue, who controlled the entire wilderness
Even if it's just a fragile control maintained on the surface, it's still control. At least the degree of control is higher than mine, isn't it
Emperor Dugu thought he had made sufficient preparations before coming to the wilderness, but he didn't expect that he was still one step behind.
He knows Luo Xue less than Luo Xue knows him, and this is his biggest failure.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Dugu finally made up his mind and said,
"I definitely cannot tell you the true situation of the Xianlu Army, but in exchange, I can tell you my most important secrets, including the origins of Xianlu."
The real combat power of the Xianlu Army is what Emperor Dugu relies on to maintain the Great Qin Xian Dynasty to this day. In comparison, secrets and origins are not that important.
If Luo Xue knew the true strength of the Xianlu Army, it would be equivalent to holding the lifeblood of Emperor Dugu.
She could choose not to tell anyone else, but once it was revealed, even just a few words, Emperor Dugu and the Great Qin Dynasty would face a catastrophic disaster.
When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. The only reason no one is pushing it now is because no one knows that you are going to fall.
The information that Emperor Dugu has revealed to Luo Xue now is already the limit. If there is more, the ancient clans and the secret opponents will be able to deduce all the situations of the Xianlu Army and formulate a plan to launch a rebellion.
"It will be all right."
Luo Xue nodded, and Li Guijiao, who was eavesdropping through a special communication channel, immediately pricked up her ears.
Gossip is human nature, not to mention that these are two girls who are most sensitive to gossip.
The most important secret of the Immortal Emperor of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, who is above all others. Just by hearing the title, one can imagine that this is a shocking gossip of the century.
"Where should I start... Let's talk about the origin of Xianlu first." Dugudi said softly, "Actually, you already know that, yes, the owner of Xianlu is indeed not me, I just got Xianlu from somewhere.
"But... the place where you get the Immortal Slaughter is not in this world."
Emperor Dugu directly acknowledged the fact without beating around the bush.
Even though Luo Xue had already guessed it before, her heart still skipped a beat when she heard the other party admit it himself.
It's very simple, in this world... there has never been a fairy boat.
Whether it is the ancient sects of the ancient times or the four regions of Kyushu, there is no trace of the immortal boat civilization.
The fall of the immortal boat that she witnessed did not exist in any memory of the ancient times.
All of this can only prove one fact, that the immortal boat is not a product of the universe.
Luo Xue looked up at Dugu Di and gazed into his eyes.
Dugu Di was also looking at Luo Xue. After a moment, he smiled and said, "You are much calmer than I thought."
"Because I have thought about this possibility." Luo Xue replied.
"This is even more peculiar," said Emperor Dugu, "I have never seen anyone in the universe turn their gaze away from the narrow space between heaven and earth and look into the depths of Guixu."
"Return to the ruins?"
It was almost the first time that Luo Xue heard this term, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Outside of this world is called Guixu, which means the place of origin and end, but nothing exists there."
Emperor Dugu waved his hand, and in an instant, Luo Xue seemed to be in deep space. The surroundings suddenly became nothingness, with only eternal deathly silence.
At this moment, the voice of Emperor Dugu sounded again.
"Guixu is like the ocean, all the worlds are like islands, and the universe is just the largest island."
At this point, Luo Xue understood that the so-called Guixu should be the deep space, just a different way of saying it.
Emperor Dugu was right. Few people in the universe understand the concept of deep space. Their eyes are always on the universe - because the universe is vast enough.
"So, you are from another island?" Luo Xue turned her head and asked.
“No,” Dugudi denied Luo Xue’s question again, “I came from... a raft floating on the ocean.
“I didn’t get Xianlu from anywhere, because I was born on Xianlu.
"My family, my past, everything about me... all exist on Xianlu. Xianlu is the meaning of my existence."
Luo Xue was finally shocked, but because her expressions were not synchronized, she looked more like she was stunned, because the true origin of Emperor Dugu was far beyond her imagination.
She even wondered whether Emperor Dugu came from a post-apocalyptic world, because the style of the fairy boat was indeed somewhat similar to the suspended tower.
But now it looks like... not.
The pre-human civilization in the post-apocalyptic world has not reached the level of being able to freely navigate in deep space, and it is even more impossible to settle the entire civilization in deep space like the immortal boat.
"Finally I can surprise you for once." Dugudi saw Luo Xue's expression and smiled slightly. "I was thinking, if you can remain unmoved by such a fact... I should doubt whether you are truly in the Nascent Soul stage."
"I... really didn't expect this." Luo Xue took a deep breath and said.
This also explains why there is no record of Emperor Dugu before he crossed the sea realm in the world, and he and Xianlu seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Because Emperor Dugu really appeared "out of thin air".
"So... the way Xianlu appears and disappears so mysteriously is to escape into Guixu? If he does this, won't the Xianlu Army on Xianlu be affected?" This was just a little curiosity of Luo Xue. She was very clear about the impact of deep space on living beings.
"Yes." Dugu Di nodded. "Even with the protection of the Immortal Slaughter, Guixu is still harmful. The lifespan of the Immortal Slaughter Army is usually only one-third of that of ordinary cultivators. If they enter Guixu all year round, their lifespan may be further reduced."
"And you?"
"Me? I was born in Guixu. As long as I don't step into the Immortal Slaughter, it won't have any impact." Dugudi said, "My people have lived in Guixu for countless tens of thousands of years. The horror of Guixu is far beyond your and my imagination. There are always some incomprehensible things about those who can survive in that place."
"... I see."
Luo Xue did not ask any further questions, even though she still had many questions.
For example, other members of the Dugu Emperor's clan, are there any other immortal boats in Guixu now, why did he come to the world to expand his territory... and so on.
But it is obvious that Emperor Dugu has a bottom line.
What he didn't mention proactively is his bottom line.
Luo Xue knew very well why she was able to gain the upper hand in this deal, but she also knew the consequences of crossing the bottom line.
Sometimes, knowing when to quit is a virtue.
"... I have to say, if you were just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator instead of the ruler of the wilderness, I would have wanted to become your close friend." Dugudi sighed, "It's a pleasure to chat with you. Sometimes it's not bad to talk about the secrets in your heart."
"Even the Emperor and Empress don't know?" Luo Xue was stunned.
"She... and the Nangong family are both complicated. I don't trust her and she doesn't trust me. We are husband and wife in name only, but not in reality. We are just partners who have cooperated for many years." Emperor Dugu shook his head.
It seems that the relationship between the Immortal Emperor and the Empress is far more complicated than people imagine.
Luo Xue thought to herself that she had gotten some gossip, but she still calmed down and said,
"I want to know some details about repairing Xianlu. One more thing, I have an additional request for Xianlu."
"I will give you a jade slip with the specific details later. As for your request, feel free to tell me. As long as it's not too excessive, I can satisfy it." Emperor Dugu nodded. As a transaction, he did show enough sincerity.
Because Xianlu is not only his weapon, but also the meaning of his survival, which is far more important than anyone imagines.
"I... want a small Xianlu." Luo Xue said through gritted teeth.
This was actually Li Guijiao's request. She was very interested in Xianlu. She was now using the puppet's analytical eyes to analyze it in the outside world. The more she looked at it, the more she couldn't let it go. She directly asked Luo Xue if she could get one to study.
Hearing this request, Emperor Dugu was silent for a while and said,
“To be honest, I... don’t want to hand Immortal Slaughter over to other people.
"But if it's you, maybe that Immortal Slayer can find a good home."

Chapter 211: She is my apprentice, my only apprentice
In addition to the Xianlu main ship where Luo Xue is now, there are actually many types of Xianlu.
These immortal soldiers with different functions form a whole formation, which is the complete combat effectiveness of the Immortal Slaughter Army.
Giving away a small Xianlu ship alone would not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire Xianlu Army. However, the Xianlu was originally a national treasure of the Great Qin Xian Dynasty and was of great significance to Emperor Dugu. It was almost impossible to get him to give it away.
Luo Xue was very clear about this, but since this was Li Guijiao's request, she still went ahead and raised it to Dugu Di.
Luo Xue was also surprised that Emperor Dugu agreed so readily.
"Don't be surprised. I have told you so many secrets. It's just a gift of a fairy ship to you. It's not a big deal."
Emperor Dugu seemed very satisfied with Luo Xue's expression at the moment. He smiled and nodded, "I will pick out a Xianlu later for you and your followers to take away. There should be no need for me to teach you how to drive the Xianlu, right?"
"No need."
Luo Xue shook her head.
Are you kidding? Even soldiers from different formations can skillfully drive the Xianlu after training, not to mention the formation master Li Guijiao.
The true principles of these immortal killings have been encapsulated, and users only need to follow specific steps to control them without having to be familiar with the formations.
