Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 287 The Candidate for the Great Dao Inheritance

At this moment, Donghua no longer had the heroic spirit of a peerless swordsman. Instead, he looked like an old man. Even for a simple action like reaching out to push the cup, his reaction seemed to be a beat slow.

Shuiyuexian reached out and took off the cloth covering her eyes.

The silk slowly slid down her face, revealing her pure and otherworldly appearance.

The next moment, she slowly opened her eyes, her pure white pupils revealed to everyone, and she looked towards the Sword Immortal Donghua.

Even if she opened her eyes, she couldn't see clearly. The whole world in her eyes was a bunch of colors, which was the "spirituality" of all things.

However, in her eyes, Donghua's body was two tangled masses of air, one black and one red. The black mist almost enveloped all the red, exuding a strong aura of death.

Shui Yuexian slowly closed her eyes, but did not tie the silk cloth back together: "You shouldn't have gone deep into the Well of Two Worlds."

Donghua Sword Immortal looked serious and shook his head, saying: "Since it is my turn to guard the Two Worlds Well, and a 'well blowout' occurred during my time of guarding, I have no choice but to take responsibility."

Shui Yuexian just sighed softly: "With the presence of the Anuyi tribe, you won't be in any danger even if you have just broken through to the Yangxian realm..."

"This means that the two boundaries can no longer hold on. We don't have much time left."

Donghua Sword Immortal interrupted her, a trace of anxiety and helplessness in his eyes.

Shui Yuexian was silent for a long time, then asked, "How long can you hold on?"

Donghua Sword Immortal did not say anything, but purple lines gradually appeared on his body.

The purple patterns on his body emitted a faint light, seven of them were shining brightly, while two were dim.

He said: "There are only seven Hongmeng purple lines left. I probably have more than a year. When the Hongmeng energy in my body is completely eliminated by the Huangdao energy, I will fall into madness like the gods in Lingyuan."

The Hongmeng Purple Marks are the Yuantai Purple Marks. Only those who have reached the Yuantai realm can receive the gift from Heaven in the Jiuzhou Realm and obtain the purple marks from the thunder tribulation.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi is the only force that can restrain the Wheel of Heaven in the Lingyuan Realm. This was the conclusion drawn by the first generation of national master after guarding the Well of Two Realms.

Shui Yuexian said: "I still have some enlightenment tea here, enough to sustain you for another half a year."

Donghua Sword Immortal shook his head and said, "I have been completely infected by the Zodiac Qi. It makes no difference if it's half a year earlier or later. The Enlightenment Tea can suppress the influence of the Zodiac Qi. Give it to other seniors."

Enlightenment Tea is very precious. For ordinary warriors, it is a sacred object that can instantly improve one’s understanding and assist in spiritual practice.

But Shuiyuexian and others have already become the best in the world, and the effect of the Enlightenment Tea is just a drop in the bucket for them.

Its real purpose is to suppress the influence of the Wheel of Heaven.

From time to time, there would be a "blowout" in the well of the two worlds, spewing out the ecliptic energy that permeated from the Lingyuan, and the ecliptic energy contained the power of the Wheel of Heaven. Because of this, those who stayed in Mount Xumi would be more or less affected by the power of the Lingyuan Wheel of Heaven, and in serious cases, they would become as crazy as the gods in Lingyuan.

It is precisely because Wudao Tea has such effects that the Astronomical Survey has been purchasing this tea all year round, and even offering a sky-high price of one thousand taels of gold for one tael of tea.

Donghua Sword Immortal knew that this tea was precious, and he knew that he would die, so he rejected the good intentions of the national teacher. Shuiyuexian did not say anything about his rejection, but poured herself another cup of enlightenment tea, held the edge of the cup with both hands, took a sip, and then said: "It doesn't matter, this thing will not be so scarce in the future."

Donghua Sword Immortal raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"

Shui Yuexian lowered her head and gently stroked the edge of the teacup with her fingers: "Because the Enlightenment Tea Tree is now in Zhao Qi'an's hands."

Zhao Qi'an?
Donghua Sword Immortal heard the name again and said with emotion: "Just based on this thing, it is enough to give him a place in Mount Xumi."

Shui Yuexian did not comment, and said: "I thought this Enlightenment Tea was a spiritual thing born from nature, but I didn't expect it was cultivated by the first generation of the national master. The first generation of the national master guarded the Liangjie Well for many years for Emperor Guiyuan. There was no record of this Enlightenment Tea tree in the notes he left when he left Daqian. It seems that it was the result of his later years."

She put the teacup on the table, picked up the teapot on the table and added water to the cup: "Although this enlightenment tea cannot completely eliminate the zodiac energy, it can suppress the influence of the zodiac energy. It's a pity that the first generation of national teachers did not live too long. If he was given enough time, he might really be able to study the method of pacifying the two world wells."

The Liangjie Well appeared at the beginning of the founding of the Daqian Kingdom, not long after the founding emperor Guiyuan ascended the throne. Nearly a thousand years have passed since then.

The reason why the Daqian Dynasty was able to last for a thousand years was, firstly, because Emperor Guiyuan sacrificed himself to protect the country, and secondly, because of the first imperial teacher Feng Xiao.

In terms of martial arts strength, the first generation of national master was even at the bottom among the first-grade Yangxian.

But he possesses the ability of "heavenly craftsmanship". Now, nearly half of the Thirty-Six Divine Weapons of Daqian are his work, and he devoted almost the second half of his life to the study of the Two Worlds Well. Even in his later years after retiring, he created such a magical creature as the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The notes he left behind regarding the research on the Two Worlds Well still play a crucial role in helping Emperor Tianwu, the Imperial Master and others suppress the Two Worlds Well. The notes are still on the first floor of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, and only a very small number of people can borrow them.

Now that Zhao Qi'an has mastered the cave where the first generation of national master died, perhaps... it may not be a coincidence.

Donghua Sword Immortal still shook his head and said: "Zhao Qi'an may not have much Enlightenment Tea in stock. Besides, I still have a year, which is enough time for me to find a successor who can inherit my 'Tao'."

Shui Yuexian said: "Now that your Hongmeng purple energy has not completely disappeared, and the Huangdao energy has not invaded the Niwan Palace, I can separate your spirituality and perform a reincarnation ceremony for you. Perhaps you can live a second life."

This... can be said to be an alternative way to survive.

But Donghua Sword Immortal sighed and said, "It's too late. Now it's imminent. Even if everything goes well, I don't know how long it will take for me to reincarnate and cultivate back to the first-grade Yang Immortal. Instead of doing that, it would be better to strip off my spirituality and pass it on to a powerful person in the realm of creation who is in line with my avenue. This will allow us to have another Yang Immortal fighting force as soon as possible. This is the best strategy."

He looked at Shui Yuexian: "It's not just me. Taoist Guan, the princes... they all have candidates for the inheritance of the Great Dao. The State Master and His Majesty should also make plans early."

Shuiyuexian remained silent.

She had originally set her sights on a candidate for the inheritance of the Great Dao, but unfortunately the other party rejected her.

As for Ah Man... no one in this world can inherit his "Tao".

There is no need for anyone to inherit.

Because if Ah Man died, no matter how much we did, it would be useless. No one could take over Ah Man's banner and carry the nine states of Daqian!
