Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 748: Lingxiao Realm Saint Chen Suhui
During the period after Gu Xu's clone broke into the floating island of Tiangong and was eventually killed by golden lightning, Taishang Haotian's life was not peaceful either.

Since the "Meltdown" was almost completely destroyed by Gu Xu, and several souls that served as the center of the formation were also rescued by Gu Xu, the daily operations and defense systems of the Tiangong Floating Island were almost paralyzed, and the floating island was on the verge of collapse.

In addition, Chi Shaoxian, the formation master of the Heavenly Palace, also fell into Gu Xu's hands and became his prisoner.

In order to prevent the floating island from falling from the sky, Taishang Haotian had to use his own powerful cultivation to hold up the entire Tiangong floating island so that it would still hang above the heads of the people and maintain its superficial majesty.

Afterwards, he recruited a large number of talisman masters and formation masters from the Lingxiao Realm, and with the assistance of Mo Men's leader Tian Xiang, he set about repairing the floating island's formation.

However, the power of the restored "Meltdown" was weakened a lot compared to before due to the lack of a powerful soul as the core of the formation, and many hidden dangers and loopholes were inevitably left in the formation.

"Anyway, now that I have mastered the authority of 'King', my control over the entire Lingxiao Realm is far greater than before. Ziwei will never be able to attack as easily as before," Taishang Haotian thought to himself, "When I successfully absorb the power of incense and advance to the ninth realm, Ziwei and his Great Wilderness World will be destroyed."

Whenever he thought of "incense", Tai Shang Hao Tian's heart, which had long since cut off all emotions and desires, would always be filled with a ripple of anger that was difficult to calm down.

The Tiangong Floating Island is now firmly suspended in the sky again.

But the sudden fall before that was witnessed by many people.

This scene made them realize that the Heavenly Palace was not like the sun and the moon, hanging forever in the sky—it would also be conquered and might fall one day.

This undoubtedly caused the power of incense controlled by Taishang Haotian to decline significantly over a period of time.

He had to resort to various means such as showing his divine power in front of people, bestowing grace and blessings, and using intimidation and inducement before the incense's popularity could gradually recover.

In addition, there is another thing that gives Taishang Haotian a headache——

There is a new disciple with an "immortal body" in Bixia Palace.

He had vigorously promoted in the Lingxiao Realm that the "immortal body" was rare in a thousand years, that he was the one and only chosen person by heaven, and that he was the incarnation of the great way of heaven and earth in the world. In this way, he established a supreme image in the hearts of the people of the Lingxiao Realm.

But now, a second "immortal body" has appeared in the Lingxiao Realm.

Things are rare.

The value of the "immortal body" was instantly greatly reduced.

All the propaganda that the Tiangong had carefully woven in the past to attract worshippers also seemed to have become a joke.

Tai Shang Haotian's first reaction after learning about this was to immediately eliminate this newly emerged "immortal body" and at the same time eliminate all those who knew about it to prevent the news from spreading further and spreading throughout the entire Lingxiao Realm, causing an uncontrollable situation.

But he soon realized that killing alone would not solve the problem.

First of all, he needs to face Ye Yuping, the Palace Master of Bixia Palace.

Although Ye Yuping was not the most powerful True Lord in Lingxiao Realm, Bixia Palace was a powerful force with a long history and deep foundation. The cultivators and people under her rule were very supportive of her, and she also had a wide network of contacts in Lingxiao Realm.

If you want to deal with her, you will inevitably push a large number of people to the opposite side.

Such an action would undoubtedly make others feel a sense of crisis, which would be detrimental to his continued absorption of the power of incense.

He can't rely on a dead, deserted, faithless Lingxiao Realm to advance to the ninth realm, right?

Furthermore, the two forces closest to Bixia Palace are Mo Clan and Yanling Clan.

Tian Xiang, the leader of the Mo Sect, and Huangfu Jiong, the patriarch of the Yanling Clan, are currently the most steadfast allies of Taishang Haotian.

When the "immortal body" triggered the phenomenon of promotion, the two of them must have sensed the fluctuations of the laws of the great way. This undoubtedly showed that the existence of the "immortal body" could no longer be concealed from the world.

Tai Shang Haotian pondered for a long time, and simply changed his strategy. He frankly announced to the world the appearance of the second "immortal body" in the world.

He named Chen Suhui the "Saintess" and ordered his monks to tell everyone that this was the successor bestowed upon him by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth after it recognized the great merits of the Emperor.

Even if he died in the process of fighting against foreign enemies, someone would be able to inherit his cause and become the new spiritual leader of the Lingxiao Realm.

Of course, Taishang Haotian actually scoffed at the term "successor" in his heart.

He is about to be promoted to the "Yujing" realm and live as long as heaven and earth.

As long as he exists, Lingxiao Realm exists; when he dies, Lingxiao Realm dies.

Why would we need a successor?

In order to appease Ye Yuping, he did not even take Chen Suhui to the floating island of Tiangong, but let her stay in Bixia Palace and practice with Ye Yuping.

Anyway, he now holds the power of "King's Landing", and everything in Bixia Palace is under his control. In addition to the power of "Longevity and Death", he can directly control Chen Suhui's fate. If he wants Chen Suhui to die, it is just a matter of his thoughts.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Bixia Palace is located on the top of the mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.

A winding path passes through the complex of buildings with carved beams and painted rafters. The surrounding pine forests sway slightly in the mountain breeze. The sound of pine waves is low and distant, interweaving with the gurgling sound of the spiritual spring in the distance.

Chen Suhui walked along the path towards the warehouse.

She has a slender figure, delicate features and a pale skin that appears almost transparent in the sunlight. The goose yellow dress she wears flutters gently in the wind, making her stand out in all her graceful glory, like a fairy out of a painting.

Several female disciples came towards her. When they saw her, they immediately stepped back to the side of the road, lowered their heads, bowed respectfully, and called her in unison, "Your Excellency the Saint."

They looked reserved and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

Chen Suhui nodded slightly, said softly "No need for courtesy", and hurried away.

However, her presence made these disciples seem even more restrained. Some outer disciples and servants even knelt down and kowtowed when they saw her from afar, with an almost pious attitude.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Suhui couldn't help but feel complicated.

When she first arrived at Bixia Palace, even though she was the palace master's direct disciple, she was still able to chat and laugh with these senior sisters and share their cultivation experiences with each other.

However, in their hearts, these people have already regarded her as the successor of Tai Shang Haotian.

There seemed to be a tragically thick barrier between them, and they could never go back to the past.

Only Chen Suhui herself understood that the title of "Saint" was nothing more than a heavy yoke that was put on her, making her tremble in fear and tread on thin ice every day.

After getting the pill, she returned to her meditation room.

Sitting on the mat, her fingers gently stroked the bracelet made of dogtail grass on her wrist. Her fingertips brushed across the rough grass stems, and her eyes gradually became dazed, repeating in her heart:

"His Majesty……"

However, His Majesty's voice could no longer be heard from the bracelet.
