The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 55: Meeting the Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor, Should I Kill the Prince of Heaven?
Ning Qingyi couldn't predict good or bad fortune, but the only thing that connected him to Yao Chi was the Western Emperor Scripture!
The words of the Saintess of Yao Chi, coupled with Ye Fan's warning this time, made it very likely that the fact that he had practiced the Western Emperor Sutra was exposed, thus implicating himself.

Ye Fan's character is attested by the original work. Even though his experiences are different, he is still a heroic figure. Therefore, he will never betray himself, otherwise he will passively expose himself.

"The Quasi-Emperor of Yaochi..."

Ning Qingyi had a guess in mind and used the Fuxi Bagua to calculate. Sure enough, he figured out that this matter was related to Yaochi Quasi-Emperor. He calculated again and got the Tai hexagram.

"The Qian hexagram is on top, and the Kun hexagram is below, representing the harmony between heaven and earth, symbolizing the prosperity and success of all things."

He pondered for a moment, then calculated again, and came up with a negative answer.

"The Fu hexagram is Kun on top and Qian on the bottom. Heaven and earth are disconnected, and all things are blocked. When heaven and earth are disconnected, yin and yang are out of harmony. This is a very ominous hexagram."

This completely different hexagram was not because Ning Qingyi's Tianji technique was not practiced well enough, but because the matter involved a quasi-emperor, which led to the hexagrams being wrong one after another.

"Forget it. When an enemy comes, I will fight him; when water comes, I will block it with earth... I have a magical weapon to suppress myself. The magic of heaven is ineffective against me. If things go wrong, I will hide in the sky. Even the Quasi-Emperor can't do anything to me."

Ning Qing made up his mind.

At this moment, Yao Yuekong led the way, and the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi also walked lightly with lotus steps into an inner hall of Tianyao Baoque. Many young heroes who followed also entered the inner hall.

Soon, a maid came over with a graceful figure.

"Mr. Ning, the Young Palace Master asked me to invite you to come along." The maid said respectfully.

Ning Qing nodded and followed him into the inner hall. He glanced around and found that Ye Fan was actually sitting at a table relatively close to the front. He simply walked over and sat down next to him, which immediately attracted everyone's surprised gazes.

Especially the big black dog sitting alone on a table on the side, rolling its eyes and looking at Ning Qingyi with ill intentions.

"Everyone..." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi began to greet each other.

Ning Qingyi raised his cup and asked with his mind, "Why are you walking with the Saintess of Yaochi?"

Ye Fan smiled bitterly, sighed deeply, and replied: "After parting with you, I inquired about many secrets about Yuan Tianshi, and finally made up my mind to go to the Northern Territory and find Yuan Tianshi's whereabouts according to the clues you gave me."

"Oh, it seems that you have taken this path." Ning Qingyi sighed, but if you think about it carefully, it is difficult to cultivate the Holy Body. If you don't have a big force to rely on, becoming a Yuan Tianshi is the best way.
Ye Fan was a little confused and thought that this clue was given by you.

"I went to the Northern Territory and, following the clues you gave me, I accidentally came across a Zhang family stone stronghold. They were being robbed by bandits at the time, and I rescued them. Later..."

According to Ye Fan's narration, he got the help of Zhang's stone fort and obtained the secrets of the former Yuan Tianshi. Then, relying on the remaining stone clothes and the imperial weapon in his hand, he finally stepped into Zishan.

"That day, the Beginningless Bell and the Undying Heavenly Sword clashed..."

Ye Fan seized this opportunity and rushed into Zishan. On the way, he saw the last words of many peerless figures and even met the awakened peerless God King Jiang Taixu.

"Jiang Taixu, known as the best attacker in the past five thousand years..." Ning Qingyi asked.

"Senior Divine King is indeed a remarkable person, and I have gained a lot." Ye Fan paused here, then continued: "After parting with Senior Divine King, I finally found the Source Heavenly Book. At this time, the Quasi-Emperor of Yao Chi and the Wu Shi Zhong returned to Zishan."

Ye Fan smiled bitterly, he really didn't expect it.

The Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor actually had a special way to see through his ancient holy body. Not only that, he also discovered that he had practiced the Western Emperor Sutra! After asking himself and the Yao Chi Saintess many questions, he even speculated that it was Ning Qingyi who taught him the method.

"Interesting! I didn't expect to see another holy body practicing the Western Emperor Sutra after resurrection in this world." Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor's expression was difficult to read, as if he was talking about something insignificant. "But my sect's Emperor Sutra has been leaked. Since he is the Quasi-Emperor's successor, please bring him to see..."

"See you again..." Ning Qingyi was thoughtful after listening to Ye Fan's narration. Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor's attitude seemed a little strange. This was the reason for the uncertain hexagram.

"Boy, are you the one who practiced the Western Emperor Sutra?"

A huge dog head suddenly appeared in Ning Qingyi's field of vision. It turned out to be the big black dog from the next table walking over.

"This is the Black Emperor, who also appeared in the Purple Mountain. It seems that he has an unusual relationship with the Great Emperor Wu Shi. We must be wary of him." Ye Fan looked a little resentful, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

Black Emperor sensed the fluctuations of divine consciousness between the two, and a human-like suspicion appeared on his dog head: "Are you two saying bad things about me?"

Ye Fan's expression darkened, and he said, "Do you still think I will say something good about you?!"

The Black Emperor grinned and said, "Young man Ye, don't be ungrateful. Listen to what I and the Saintess of Yaochi say. Marry that innate Dao fetus and have children. If she gives birth to a Dao fetus with an innate holy body, you will have a child who attains enlightenment in your lifetime!"

The Black Emperor's laughter was very unscrupulous, but judging from the meaning of his words, it seemed that the Quasi-Emperor Yao Chi was trying to arrange a marriage.

"The innate holy body and the Taoist fetus? Does Yao Chi want to recreate the Great Emperor Wu Shi in this life?" Ning Qingyi also joined the discussion.

Black Emperor stared with eyes as big as copper bells. "It seems you've also heard the rumors about the Great Emperor Wu Shi. Indeed, if a child is born from a congenital Dao fetus and a holy body, they will have this kind of invincible physique. I heard that you and he are from the same place and are classmates. How about helping me persuade him?"

"The Innate Saint Body Daotai is indeed an invincible physique. I'm afraid that only the Chaos Body, or the Nine Divine Golden Holy Spirits, or the Immortal Elixir can rival it in the universe."

Ning Qingyi's words surprised Heihuang and made him serious.

"I heard you're the descendant of a Quasi-Emperor, and from a spiritual treasure lineage that's been passed down for millions of years. I was a little skeptical at first, but now I do." Black Emperor said, "There's only been one known case of a Chaos Body throughout history. The creation of a Divine Gold Holy Spirit and an Immortal Elixir is unheard of, but it demonstrates your extraordinary knowledge."

"Hei Huang, others may not know you, but I know a few things about you." Ning Qingyi said, "You are a puppy adopted by the Wu Shi Emperor in his later years, right?"

"What, you actually followed the Wu Shi Emperor!" Ye Fan was shocked.

Hei Huang was also surprised, and then he denied it flatly: "What are you talking about..."

"Don't deny it. My sect has a long tradition and knows secrets that many people don't know." Ning Qingyi interrupted him and said calmly, "In the past, the universe was about to usher in a dark turmoil, but there was no emperor in the world. Yao Chi had no choice but to summon the emperor's son Wu Shi. However, they didn't expect that the emperor Wu Shi would defeat the Golden Age and become voiceless, and he remained invincible all the way."

"The Green Emperor has his rivals, but the Wu Shi Emperor has dominated the world for a lifetime. Despite this, the Emperor still has a regret." Ning Qingyi looked at Ye Fan, who was looking leisurely and fascinated, and the Black Emperor who was with Rong Youyan. As expected, as long as you praise Wu Shi, the Black Emperor and you will be good friends.

"You said the emperor had some regrets..." Hei Huang was quite skeptical.

"It's not about becoming an immortal, nor is it about clearing out the underworld." Ning Qingyi looked at Hei Huang and said, "It's about wanting to save my parents. Am I right?"

"You actually--" Heihuang stood up in shock. Others didn't understand, but he had accompanied the emperor through his later years, so he naturally knew what Emperor Wu Shi was thinking.

"Are you still denying what I said now?" Ning Qing glanced at him.

The Black Emperor bared his teeth and could not help but walk around a few times, snorting and saying, "You'd better take care of yourself. The quasi-emperor of Yao Chi will not let you go easily." At the same time, the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi on the stage finally finished explaining her purpose, and then informed the news of the Peach Festival, and finally her face was solemn.

"I came to the Holy City this time to offer a reward to the world for the whereabouts of the Immortal Emperor's descendants. As long as you can provide useful information, Yao Chi will not hesitate to give you a treasure!" The voice of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi made the hall, which was bustling with cheers just now, suddenly quiet down.

A few days ago, the Immortal Emperor was just a legendary figure, but when the Heavenly Sword appeared and the Beginningless Bell was startled, everyone knew how respectable and awe-inspiring this ancient god was. Everyone had to think twice before getting involved in the struggle between Yao Chi and the Immortal Emperor.

The Saintess of Yaochi opened her red lips and said, "The Ancestor knows that the Holy City is rich in treasures. If you can provide us with Immortal Tears Green Gold, Yaochi is also willing to exchange it for other divine objects."

As soon as these words were spoken, the silent hall became noisy.

"The rumors are actually true. The Yao Chi Emperor Tower has been damaged." Someone said in surprise.

"Yao Chi actually dared to spread this news. Yes, a Quasi-Emperor who has recovered to the peak is indeed fearless in the world." The young master of Piao Miao Peak understood what Quasi-Emperor Yao Chi meant.

"Hehe, I'm just worried that some people won't want to see the Emperor Tower being repaired." Someone said in an inaudible voice.

The Saint of Yao Chi glanced at the reactions in the hall and felt a little worried, but when she saw Ye Fan, a bright light flashed in her eyes. She just hoped that Ye Fan's boast was not empty talk.

Ning Qingyi noticed the look Yao Chi Saintess gave Ye Fan, and his mind suddenly became clear. He said in a voice transmission: "Could it be that you told them that you are the descendant of Yuan Tianshi, and they asked you to cut the stone to find the Immortal Tears Green Gold as the price for practicing the Western Emperor Sutra?"

Ye Fan laughed dryly: "You are right."

Ning Qingyi was speechless. Is this the son of destiny? He had just obtained the Origin Heavenly Book and had escaped a disaster in a flash. However, this was also Yaochi. If it were an aristocratic family, it would be hard to say.

The Saint of Yao Chi quickly left the scene and invited Ning Qingyi, Ye Fan and Hei Huang to go to the stone archway of Yao Chi.

Ning Qingyi had already made up his mind and took Jiang Tingting to Yao Chi's stone archway in the Holy City. Along the way, Black Emperor circled around Jiang Tingting, his dog nose twitching from time to time, as if confirming something.

It wasn't until they entered the Yaochi garrison that the Black Emperor finally reacted. He was a little excited: "Could it be the legendary Taiyin body! The same physique as the former Human Emperor!"

Yaochi Saint Lady was also shocked when she heard this and looked at him deeply: "Brother Ning Dao has accepted a good disciple."

Ning Qingyi said calmly, "If a great sect like ours is passed down from generation to generation and the successor is not outstanding, he would have long since become a mere ripple in history. Yao Chi has been passed down for over 200,000 years, so I think they understand this principle."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chi Saintess sighed and said, "Brother Dao, what you said is very true."

Soon, everyone entered the Tianzi Stone Garden of the Yaochi Stone Archway. Unlike in the past, today, not only the Tianzi Garden, but also the most precious gardens in the Stone Archway were deserted, with only Yaochi disciples stationed there.

As soon as we entered Tianzi Garden, we saw a woman in the stone archway with her back to us, looking at some stones.

"Ancestor." Yao Chi Saint said respectfully.

"Did someone bring it?"

The woman's voice was sweet, like the singing of an oriole, but Ning Qingyi felt an overwhelming pressure from it.

In front of him, the woman called the ancestor seemed to be integrated with the myriad ways of heaven and earth. Her ordinary words and actions were filled with surging fluctuations of the Tao.

"Brother Ning Dao has been invited." The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi replied.

"You're quite courageous. You've practiced my Yao Chi Emperor Scripture, yet you actually dare to appear in front of me." Yao Chi Patriarch turned his head and his voice became cold.

There is no doubt that this is a very beautiful woman with a slender figure and flying hair.

She didn't hide her figure like the Saintess of Yaochi. Her face was white as jade and had an indescribable charm. She was truly a peerless beauty. Her eyes, in particular, were used to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze, as if they understood everything.

"Greetings, senior." Ning Qingyi was very calm. Obviously, this was the Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor who had revived and returned to the peak.

"Tell me, how did you get the Emperor's Scripture? Did you secretly kill the successor of my sect? That's why you stole it successfully." The Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor's voice turned cold, and murderous intent gradually overflowed.

"Senior, you've misunderstood. While I was cultivating in the Northern Territory, I accidentally entered the old Yaochi site. There, where the Western Emperor had once founded his law, I attained enlightenment and luckily inherited the Emperor's Scripture." Ning Qingyi said truthfully, "It was a rocky mountain, and within it was..."

Ye Fan and the others were shocked when they heard Ning Qingyi's narration, especially the Saintess of Yaochi, whose lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief. Because if what she said was true, Ning Qingyi's talent was truly terrifying.

Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said, "Show it to me."

Ning Qing activated the Wheel Sea Spring, and in an instant, the true meaning of the Western Emperor Sutra floated in the Tianzi Stone Archway along with the rumbling sound of the bitter sea.

Among those present, except Jiang Tingting and Hei Huang, the other three had all practiced the Western Emperor Sutra. Stimulated by this true meaning, they actually resonated with it.

For a moment, in the Tianzi Stone Archway, the sound of the great Dao was endless, like an abyss or an ocean, deep and vast.

"It's different from the Emperor's Scripture, but I've grasped the true essence of the Patriarch's Great Dao. It can be said that I've captured his spirit without losing his form." A hint of surprise flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Yaochi Patriarch. "In the past, I also said that the Stone Mountain was where the Patriarch created the Dharma, and that if you're predestined, you might be able to obtain the Dharma. I never thought that someone could actually do it. It seems that you're also an unparalleled demon!"

"Senior, that's a big reward."

"However, although you obtained the destiny method by accident and taught it to others casually, you violated the taboo of my sect, so you now have three paths to choose from." Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor had a blank expression on his face.

"First, abolish the Western Emperor Sutra you practiced, and then destroy the related memories."

"The second is to kill the Emperor's heirs and then swear to never tell anyone about it."

"Third, to become a protector of my sect, you must also swear an oath never to reveal this to anyone else."

"Of course, there's a fourth rule. To defeat this incarnation of mine, all you have to do is swear an oath never to reveal the secret!"

These few words surprised Yao Chi Saintess, Ye Fan and others, because these words were not meant to be difficult, but too friendly. If it were the Ji family, they might have killed everyone.

"I understand. In that case, please enlighten me, Senior."

Amidst everyone's incredulous gazes, Ning Qingyi chose the most difficult yet the smoothest path.

"Okay! Let me see you, the successor of Lingbao Tianzun!" Yao Chi Quasi-Emperor showed approval on his face.
