In the month of slaughtering the planet, hundreds of millions of lives were killed on the day the order was issued. The entire Emperor Star was covered by a deadly aura, and ghosts were roaring unwillingly everywhere.
Liu Xun stood in the void, looking indifferently at the scenes below. The tragic deaths of these exotic creatures did not cause any ripples in his heart at all.
Fairy Lingyun appeared behind him at some point, and Liu Xun already knew her name: Xia Lingyun. Liu Xun sensed it the moment Xia Lingyun appeared, but he said nothing and just looked down calmly.
"You've changed." Xia Lingyun took slight steps and walked towards Liu Xun. It was obvious that she had inherited Meng Yan's true teachings. Her every move and gesture revealed her charm.
"No one can be consistent. The word perfect only exists in stories." Although he didn't know why Xia Lingyun appeared here, Wu Hao still answered calmly.
"I now believe what Master said." Xia Lingyun smiled sweetly upon hearing this, staring at Liu Xun's face and said. Liu Xun chuckled upon hearing this, and calmly looked at the endless ghosts below.
Seeing this, Xia Lingyun smiled and said, "Master once said that growth should not be about being worn away by time and setbacks, but about sticking to one's own path and expressing the unique philosophy in one's heart."
Liu Xun heard this, nodded, looked at Xia Lingyun, and smiled softly: "Why do I feel that your master is talking about me? And why do you say that I have changed?"
Xia Lingyun took a deep breath, looked at the boundless sky, was silent for a moment, and said: "It shouldn't have changed. Maybe Lingyun couldn't see through the Emperor of Heaven back then..."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Liu Xun turned around and asked with a puzzled look on his face when he heard that.
Xia Lingyun saw the puzzlement in Liu Xun's expression, shook his head and sighed, saying: "Perhaps that matter is a trivial matter to you, the Emperor of Heaven, but to Lingyun, it is a major event that changed Lingyun's life."
"Lingyun was originally from a family in the northern region of Zhongzhou. At that time, foreign lands had just invaded China, and we did not move in time. I remember that day very clearly. There was a foreign cultivator with earth-robbing cultivation, and he was chasing the Emperor of Heaven."
"At that time, Ling Yun heard from some old men who had practiced cultivation that although the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation was not as good as his, the foreign cultivator could not catch up with the Heavenly Emperor. In less than half an incense stick of time, the Heavenly Emperor would escape from the pursuit."
"But at that moment, the foreign cultivator became angry and attacked the innocent village below. At that time, there were almost no cultivators left in the Northern Territory. Those who could leave had left, and the remaining ones were all old people who had no cultivation and were unwilling to leave their hometown. Therefore, facing the attack of the foreign cultivator, they had no ability to resist at all."
"In the blink of an eye, two or three villages and thousands of lives were killed. Just when the foreign monk was about to attack our village, you, the Emperor of Heaven, stopped..."
"Although the village did not escape the fate of being destroyed afterwards, the moment the Emperor of Heaven stayed changed Ling Yun's fate. Ling Yun was rescued by a passing disciple of the Hundred Flowers Sect. When Ling Yun asked the sisters about the Emperor of Heaven's name, one of the sisters told me, don't worry, his name is Liu Xun, a person that even the Sect Master cannot see through."
"Ling Yun was still young at the time, so he couldn't remember the Emperor's appearance, only his name. During the time he practiced in the Baihua Sect, the Emperor's reputation in the outside world became increasingly famous, and he almost became the public enemy of foreign cultivators. In order to fight alongside the Emperor earlier, Ling Yun practiced harder..."
"Finally, when the foreign land was about to destroy China, all the hidden sects came out. When everything settled, you, the Heavenly Emperor, disappeared. Although many people said that you escaped, fell, and so on, Ling Yun knew in his heart that one day, you would still appear in this world."
When Xia Lingyun finished speaking, Liu Xun closed his eyes and searched for this memory in his mind. After three breaths, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Yes, back then I was just a little cultivator who was on the run every day. Not only did I have to flee to foreign lands, but even when facing China, I had to be careful. It was really a nostalgic time."
After Liu Xun finished speaking, he walked downwards alone and soon disappeared into the void, leaving only Xia Lingyun who was smiling there.
At the same time, in the Temple of the Gods, a magnificent hall...
A young man suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Tathagata, Emperor, the two of you should go and deal with the outside world. Emperor Star can no longer be saved, but the fate of the other seven ancient stars should not end."
"Amitabha, ancestor, does he need to be saved?" The fat monk called Tathagata said with a smile, holding the Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Put aside your idea of equality for all living beings. Do you still want to save him? Just kill him directly." The emperor had a murderous look on his face, with endless murderous intent flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that his ancestral planet was going to be destroyed, and he was unwilling to accept it.
"Don't have the intention to kill him. As for converting him..." The young man nodded and said, "Tathagata, you can decide for yourself. Although we cannot convert him completely, it should be possible to make him lose himself for a few hundred years! But you two must remember not to threaten his life! Otherwise... even I, the ancestor, cannot protect you now."
After the words fell, the young man looked solemn. Tathagata and the Emperor also frowned and nodded. Although they didn't understand why, they didn't ask.
After Tathagata and the Emperor left, the young Hongjun suddenly showed a solemn expression, looking at the boundless starry sky, and whispered: "You lunatic..."
Who on earth could make Hongjun so fearful? You know, even in the entire universe, Hongjun is almost invincible. In this mysterious temple of gods, he is the most mysterious overlord. Even the ancient supreme beings of China such as Dijun and Donghuang Taiyi are extremely afraid of Hongjun.
But now, Hongjun actually said such words! Crazy? If these two words were said by others, no one would think there was anything wrong, but facing Hongjun, who could make him call him a madman, then what kind of existence is that person? And what did he do to make Hongjun call him a madman!
Time flies, and a month has passed in an instant. Today, a month later, Liu Xun and five million other celestial beings are all standing in the void. The Soul Devourer also devoured the dragon vein of the Emperor Star, but disappeared. (To be continued)
