Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 724 Meeting the Emperor
"The body of the machine?"

Hearing this, Gong Yu was slightly stunned and a little surprised.

After all, in his impression, this was not an area that his emperor had ever been good at.

Seeing the surprised look on Gong Yu's remnant soul's face, Gu Xu smiled and explained, "I went to Lingxiao Realm not only to rescue you, but also to visit the Mo Sect's Thousand Machine City. I also learned a lot of their puppetry techniques.

“If you find a corpse to help you be reborn, that’s not impossible, but someone else’s body is not as useful as your own, and the degree of compatibility will be worse, which will affect the upper limit of your future practice.

"However, this problem does not exist for a body that is tailor-made using mechanical techniques."

Gong Yu naturally understood the problem that Gu Xu was talking about.

However, when he looked at the emperor in front of him, whose appearance was completely different from before, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The Emperor was reborn in the Great Wilderness World, apparently in a new body.

But why is the Emperor's cultivation speed so much faster than before, and now he is approaching the ninth level?
Could it be that the Emperor's talent for cultivation is so amazing that even an imperfectly compatible body cannot stop his progress?
Gong Yu respected the emperor's secret and did not ask any more questions.

He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Everything will be subject to the Emperor's arrangements."

At this time, Gu Xu shifted his gaze to the residual souls of three powerful dragon warriors floating in the air beside him.

They all appeared in human form: one was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, one was an old woman with a kind face, and the other was a middle-aged woman with a plump figure.

Seeing Gu Xu's gaze fall on them, the three of them bowed and saluted, sincerely thanking the emperor.

They claimed that if the Emperor had not risked his life to rescue them, their souls would have long been turned into firewood in the "melting furnace" and burned out in endless pain. They also solemnly promised that if the Emperor intended to counterattack the Lingxiao Realm in the future, they would do their best to repay him for saving their lives.

Ye Huang, who was standing by, felt extremely complicated when he heard their words.

She knew that Gu Xu had become a great benefactor of the dragon clan. If it weren't for him, she would probably be the only one left in the dragon clan in this world.

Gu Xu looked at the three dragon warriors and said seriously, "With the existing materials and conditions in the Great Wilderness, it may be difficult to reshape the dragon bodies for you."

The white-haired old man said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about this. We no longer ask for a perfect body for this life we ​​have saved. As long as we can get a human-shaped mechanical body like Tianji Xingjun, so that we can serve the Emperor, we will be satisfied."

Hearing this, Gu Xu nodded slightly and waved towards the distance.

Eunuch Han Shunxi immediately rushed over and bowed his head respectfully, saying, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Take them to find Xiao Wanjun," Gu Xu pointed at the translucent residual souls in front of him, "Whatever kind of body they want, let Xiao Wanjun build one for them within her ability. With her current attainments in mechanical puppetry, it shouldn't be a problem for her to accomplish this."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving the order, Han Shunxi immediately led several remaining souls to the gate of Changchun Garden.

In Han Shunxi's perception, although these souls had no physical form and their breath was weak, they exuded a mysterious and awe-inspiring fluctuation of the Tao, which made him involuntarily feel awe.

"These people... must have been strong men of the same level as Your Majesty before they lost their bodies!" he guessed in his heart.

For a moment, Han Shunxi could not help but sigh at the breadth of his majesty's connections, as he was able to find several strong reinforcements for Daxia in such a short period of time - after these people successfully acquire new bodies, they will surely become the top combat power of Daxia, increasing his majesty's chances of winning the war with Taishang Haotian in the future. …………

After the few remaining souls left, the Taiping Sect leader Lu Qiuliang brought Feng Li and Xue Ying to Gu Xu.

"Meet the Emperor!"

The three of them bowed deeply to the ground and spoke respectfully in unison, their voices filled with awe and worship.

In the past years in Lingxiao Realm, they practiced the methods of the Emperor and understood his philosophy. When they were hunted down by Taishang Haotian and were repeatedly forced into desperate situations, the Emperor served as their spiritual pillar, supporting them to resist tenaciously amidst difficulties and obstacles.

It was because of these experiences that they were so excited today when they faced the Emperor himself, and it took them a long time to calm down.

Although Gu Xu's current appearance is different from the portrait that Lu Qiuliang had seen in the Lingxiao Realm.

But his extraordinary bearing and powerful aura, like a deep pool and a majestic mountain, left Lu Qiuliang and others with no doubt about his identity.

"You don't have to be so reserved," Gu Xu smiled and reached out to help them up. "In fact, we have already met in Lingxiao Realm. I am deeply moved by what you have done in the past and the hardships you have gone through."

Have we met?

Hearing Gu Xu's words, they felt that the Emperor's temperament had some subtle similarities with the "Meng Zhike" who died in Lingxiao Realm. The three of them were quite surprised. They searched through their memories, but could not remember that they had ever met this handsome young man.

As they thought about it, the image of "Meng Zhike" being struck by lightning on the floating island in Tiangong emerged in their minds.

At first, they truly believed what "Meng Zhike" said and determined that he was a messenger sent by the Emperor to the Lingxiao Realm to carry out a mission.

It was not until the death of "Meng Zhike" that they realized that his body did not seem to be the flesh and blood of a normal human.

At that time, they didn't think much about it, they just thought that "Meng Zhike" might have practiced some special skills.

They even felt sorry for the death of "Meng Zhike", thinking that from now on, the emperor would have one less powerful and loyal subordinate.

But at this moment, when they heard what Gu Xu said, they actually felt that there were some subtle similarities between the Emperor's temperament and that of "Meng Zhike" who died in Lingxiao Realm.

"Could it be that the 'Meng Zhike' is your——" Lu Qiuliang guessed cautiously.

"That's right," Gu Xu replied with a smile, "He is my clone. I think it is worth sacrificing him in exchange for your safe return."

Gu Xu's words made Lu Qiuliang's heart surge.

The emperor in front of him quietly overlapped with the majestic image he had imagined in his mind based on historical books and ancient texts.

The same ability to plan and win battles from afar, the same ability to lead by example and be deeply loved.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something important.

"Emperor, this is yours!"

He took out the "Yao Chi Palace" from his sleeve and presented it respectfully to Gu Xu with both hands.
