Chapter 277: Emperor Qing was deceived
"May I ask why you came here today, Your Highness?"
Emperor Qing recovered from his shock and asked in a flattering tone, "If Your Highness the Saint Son can use me in any way, I will certainly cooperate with you to the fullest."
"You are really good at talking. No wonder that stupid woman Ye Qingmei was fooled by you and didn't even know how she died."
The corner of Emperor Qing's eye twitched slightly, and he quickly argued: "Your Highness, there is another hidden meaning in this matter..."
[Damn it! Could it be that this guy is still thinking about his old relationship with Ye Qingmei and wants to avenge that woman?
If that is really the case, I will never surrender. Even if he is the Holy Son of the Temple, I will drag him to be buried with me. 】
Xiao Feng, who had taken Emperor Qing's thoughts into his ears, patted him on the shoulder with a cold smile and said, "Alright! There's no need to quibble. This Saint Son knows better than you what kind of person you are.
Moreover, I am not that stupid woman like Ye Qingmei. With your strength as a mere grandmaster, you are not qualified to die together with me.
Who do you think gave Ye Qingmei those cultivation techniques she brought out from the temple?
Even Ye Qingmei has a Wu Zhu by her side. Do you think that this Saint Son doesn’t even have a Grand Master by his side?
Or do you think that this Saint Son only has one Heavenly Thunder Magical Weapon? Don't you know that you have already been locked by dozens of Heavenly Thunder Magical Weapons? If you make the slightest movement, you will be shot in the head and killed."
Although Xiao Feng's tone was calm, every word he said was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for Emperor Qing to breathe and causing a layer of cold sweat on his back.
Only then did Emperor Qing realize that Ye Qingmei was nothing compared to Xiao Feng. Even though he was already a grandmaster, he still felt insecure after hearing what Xiao Feng said.
"But you don't have to worry. This Saint Son will not cause you any trouble because of Ye Qingmei's matter."
Seeing that Emperor Qing's face turned pale with fear, Xiao Feng changed the subject and said, "Although Ye Qingmei was my favorite maid in the past, I hate treacherous people the most. Even if you don't kill her, I will send someone to kill her."
Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Don't worry! This Saint Son entered the mortal world this time just to borrow the earthly energy in the mortal world and survive the earthly tribulation!"
"Red Dust Tribulation?"
When Emperor Qing heard this unfamiliar name, he couldn't help but reveal a curious look.
"Xu Chu, come and explain to him what Red Dust Tribulation means."
"I obey my orders."
Xu Chu first bowed to Xiao Feng, then turned to explain to Emperor Qing: "This world can be roughly divided into two parts, the mortal world and the immortal world.
The spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin and not suitable for cultivation, so it was allocated to mortals to live in.
The world of immortal cultivation has rich spiritual energy and is more suitable for immortal cultivators to live in. The temple you are talking about is the entrance to the world of immortal cultivation.
Immortal cultivators can be divided into five realms from low to high, namely the Qi Refining stage, the Foundation Building stage, the Dan Formation stage, the Nascent Soul stage and the Spirit Transformation stage.
Even the weakest cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and his strength is far superior to that of ordinary warriors, which is what you call a Grand Master. Originally, there were no immortal cultivators in the mortal world, because to become an immortal cultivator, not only do you need a matching cultivation method, but you also need to have spiritual roots.
Only those with spiritual roots can absorb and contain the power of heaven and earth, and thus further control the power of heaven and earth."
[I see! No wonder after so many years, there are still only four Grandmasters in the world. It turns out that in order to break through to the Grandmaster level, one needs to have spiritual roots.]
After learning many secrets of the world of immortal cultivation from Xu Chu, Emperor Qing's heart was filled with confusion, and many problems that he had been unable to figure out before were solved.
Although Emperor Qing did not accept many disciples, Ku He and his companions accepted quite a few disciples, including some with extraordinary talents, but no new grand master was born.
Moreover, Emperor Qing’s talent for cultivation can only be considered average, far inferior to peerless geniuses like Haitang Duoduo, but he somehow became a grandmaster.
Combined with what Xu Chu just said, it is obvious that for cultivators, spiritual roots are far more important than cultivation talent.
Those mortals who were born without spiritual roots could never become grandmasters even if they practiced until death.
"In addition to being much stronger than ordinary warriors, the biggest difference between Qi Refining cultivators and ordinary warriors is the difference in lifespan."
Xu Chu said slowly: "The upper limit of the life span of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can reach 150 years, and a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can increase his life span by another 150 years, and can live to 300 years old.
As for cultivators in the Jindan stage, their lifespan can reach up to 500 years. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, they can be considered big shots, enough to influence the rise and fall of an immortal cultivation family.
His Royal Highness the Saint Son is a cultivator at the peak of the Jindan stage. He only needs to survive the calamity of the mortal world to break through to the early Yuanying stage.
The life span of a cultivator in the Yuanying stage is as long as a thousand years. In the world of immortal cultivation, they can be called the patriarch and dominate a region.
His Royal Highness the Saint Son's master, the Holy Lord of our Temple Sect, is an unrivaled powerhouse at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
As long as the Saint Master's cultivation level advances a little further, he can break through to the legendary God Transformation Stage, and then ascend to the God Realm, and live as long as the heaven and earth."
[Ascending to the divine realm, will one live as long as the heaven and earth? I didn't expect that there are so many realms above the Grandmaster. I must find a way to get the cultivation techniques after the Qi Refining Stage.]
After learning that cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage could achieve eternal life, Emperor Qing developed unprecedented ambitions in his heart.
The more powerful a person is, the more afraid he is of death, and Emperor Qing is no exception.
For Emperor Qing, who has already stood at the pinnacle of power in the Qing Kingdom, what could be more attractive to him than eternal life?
"With His Royal Highness the Saint's talent for cultivation, he only needs to practice in seclusion for another 20 to 30 years before he can naturally break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Xu Chu then said seriously, "It's a pity that the Saint Lord is about to ascend to heaven. At most, he can only suppress his cultivation for another three to five years before he breaks through to the Spiritualization Stage and ascends to the God Realm.
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Holy Son only sealed most of his own cultivation and entered the mortal world as a mortal to train himself, using the mortal energy of the mortal world to hone his Tao heart. Only then will he have the hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage within three years and inheriting the position of the next Holy Lord. "
[No wonder the aura emanating from this guy is so weak, he only looks like a sixth-rank warrior. It turns out that his cultivation is sealed.]
The fooled Emperor Qing couldn't help but start to imagine it in his mind, and then pretended to be concerned and asked: "Your Highness, your cultivation is sealed now. What should you do if you encounter danger?"
