Chapter 2084: Conflict of Holy Sons
The Nirvana of the Golden Crow Emperor brought about very serious problems. The Nine Treasures Liquor almost became a rare product, and the Emperor no longer had the heart to brew wine to make people drunk.

But Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that his Second Bridge of Heaven and Earth was damaged and he needed the Jiuzhen Wine to do some good.

The winery was eventually handed over to Zhang Xuezhou, who was left to handle it.

"Shali, chop harder and make it smaller!"

"Your Majesty, would you like to have another drink?"

"I can't drink any more. I feel dizzy after drinking this!"

The brewing of Jiuzhen Liquor came to a standstill, and the feather given to Zhang Xuezhou by the Golden Crow Emperor became the last demon feather.

Zhang Xuezhou sometimes wondered if Emperor Jinwu passed away because he mentioned that Taiyi Zhenren had been dead for many years.

This made him feel guilty for a moment, but if the Golden Crow Emperor could stop wanting to live because of a single sentence, then it could only be said that his current life had become a cage, and this way of dying was actually a relief.

For those who live long lives, time brings endless repetition and boredom.

The Emperor was once the Lord of Heaven. He was far superior to many others in both strength and character, and possessed a stronger ability to self-regulate. However, the mentalities and abilities of other gods, monsters, and spirits varied in depth.

Some of them left West Kunlun early to find a way out, some of them could not bear the suffering and left halfway, and some of them remained loyal and trapped in West Kunlun until they died of old age.

To outsiders, it is a holy place, but in reality, it is the prison that has trapped many great practitioners in heaven.

The Golden Crow Emperor, who could fly thousands of miles with his wings spread, could only soar in the small world of Kunlun Holy Land. He had already flown to the end before he could even finish warming up.

This is not much different from many wild birds imprisoned in cages. They find it difficult to survive after being imprisoned for a long time. Even if they appear intact on the outside and can communicate normally, their hearts are actually full of holes.

This is not a judgment made based on the pseudo-psychology that Zhang Xuezhou is familiar with, but the most intuitive feeling he has after interacting with many elderly people.

If there were no mental strengthening chapters, no longevity medicine, and no technological advancement brought about by the progress of the times, the people in the Old Age Mansion would still be a group of walking corpses, and would not continue to strive for benefits and look forward to the future.

This is true for a short life span of less than a hundred years, but the long life span of more than a thousand years for the great gods of Kunlun Holy Land, such as the Golden Crow Emperor, brings the torment of imprisonment dozens of times worse.

Even though these great gods have entered the realm of true self that is envied by the world, this cannot make up for the loss of the soul.

Zhang Xuezhou picked up a wet piece of wood, placed it firmly, and then called the water monster Shali to swing the axe to chop the wood.

"This axe is too... too heavy!"

Shali was panting and waving a long axe, but he had to respond when faced with the urging.

The long axe was ten feet long, and the axe head was as wide and thick as Zhang Xuezhou's chest. Its length and weight were not something that ordinary people could handle. Even Sha Li, who had revealed his demonic body, found it difficult to wield it. Zhang Xuezhou was unable to lift it at all, let alone use it to chop wood.

But this axe is one of the few things that can be used to chop wood.

Without the Golden Crow Emperor, although the West Kunlun Holy Land did not fall into the state of eating raw meat and drinking blood, the continuously burning fire obviously became more precious, and they had to cut down trees for firewood.

Zhang Xuezhou was collecting wood at this time, preparing to use the firewood to brew Jiuzhen wine after it was dried.

He went to Miaofa Palace to find Shali and King Jinchan to help, and took some highly concentrated Jiuzhen wine to present to King Jinchan.

After many twists and turns, Zhang Xuezhou has come to this point.

"Jiang Qi has entered the realm of supernatural powers in the past two days!"

In the Wanshou Pavilion of Kunlun Ruins, the emperor and empress took a sip from a cup of cold tea, while the emperor looked so lonely that he didn't even touch the tea.

He turned around and glanced at the emperor and empress.

“Although Zhang Xuezhou is in the realm of supernatural powers, his two bridges of heaven and earth have been damaged, and it is very difficult for him to reach a higher level of cultivation.” The empress said, “I know that you and Zhang Xuezhou have agreed to be master and apprentice, but Zhang Xuezhou doesn’t look like he can fight for a hundred years!”

"Ok!"

The Monkey King had asked the Emperor about Zhang Xuezhou before, and the Empress asked again. The Emperor had previously expressed the difference between "valuing" and "recognizing", and the Empress acted as a lobbyist because Jiang Qi had entered the realm of supernatural powers and had the same cultivation as Zhang Xuezhou.

Compared to Zhang Xuezhou, Jiang Qi is obviously easier to train, and Jiang Qi's fighting ability is indeed excellent, making him a leader among the younger generation of demon kings.

Under normal circumstances, a young genius would not be a big deal, but the emperor, empress and others really wanted to participate in a century-long appointment.

This was an idea they had had for a long time, and there were some plans involved.

“With the help of the Hundred Years Agreement, I can explore the depth of the holy places of various parties, with the help of the Hundred Years Agreement, I can try to crack the oath I made to Hongjun, and with the help of the Hundred Years Agreement, I can leave Kunlun. Is there anything else?” The Emperor asked calmly.

"Your Majesty can endure it in Kunlun, but others can't," sighed the Emperor and Empress.

"If you can't bear it, you can leave," the Emperor said, "My Heavenly Palace has already collapsed. I don't need them to be trapped here with me!"

"It's hard to bear," the Empress shook her head and said, "They have been loyal to you all their lives, so they don't want to be labeled as ungrateful in their old age!"

"These are all the shackles in their hearts. Only by removing the shackles can we find our true selves!"

The Emperor chanted aloud, indicating that the many gods in Kunlun Holy Land were not trapped in their bodies, but in their hearts.

If the gods could remove the shackles in their hearts, they could go anywhere in the world without being trapped in the sacred land of West Kunlun.

"If your majesty doesn't leave, they won't leave either," the Empress said, "So I'm thinking whether we can use Jiang Qi as the Holy Son to go to the Hundred Years' Appointment, so that we can investigate the truth and know the details of each place. If we can win the first place, we can invite all the immortals and gods to Kunlun for discussion, and then we can discuss and remove the shackles on us, that would be a perfect thing!"

The emperor and empress had obviously made two preparations. One was to investigate the details of the major holy places to see whether West Kunlun could survive the attack. The other was to hope that Jiang Qi could win a great victory in the Hundred Years Agreement, so that the lords of the holy places from all sides could negotiate and do things, such as inviting them to West Kunlun for talks.

But what she arranged conflicts with the Emperor.

Jiang Qi was just a big demon brought back by Cai Ma, and he was a wild cultivator from Kunlun Mountain, while Zhang Xuezhou was a student recognized by the Emperor and had a legitimate title.

The probability of the Emperor seeking to transcend and break free from his constraints was too small, which forced the Emperor and Empress to prepare other ways out.

Two days ago, the emperor and empress had no objection, and Zhang Xuezhou just acted as the Holy Son of West Kunlun.

But Jiang Qi has entered the realm of supernatural powers, which is enough to overturn everything.

The Emperor and Empress did not have the ability to train a cultivator to reach the realm of supernatural powers. Even though Cai Ma had followed her for decades, he still had not reached the realm of supernatural powers. This also shows that the realm of supernatural powers cannot be achieved just by wanting it.

Corresponding to this is the importance of cultivators in the realm of supernatural powers.

The strength of a newly promoted cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers is insignificant in West Kunlun, but if the age of this cultivator meets the hundred-year requirement, then things are different.

The emperor and empress also recognized Jiang Qi’s actual combat effectiveness.

She has seen a lot, and any cultivator with magical powers that she recognizes must be extremely powerful, qualified to suppress a region, and have the chance to win the championship in the Hundred Years Agreement.

"Have you ever believed that Zhang Xuezhou's ability is also outstanding?" The Emperor muttered in a low voice.

"he?"

The emperor and empress smiled in surprise.

She had seen at least eight thousand geniuses. The emperor and empress could see Jiang Qi's killing power, but they did not see anything outstanding about Zhang Xuezhou.

The other party didn't even pick up the black iron axe they took out for testing, so they had to go back to Miaofa Palace and call a little demon to help.

While other cultivators were busy practicing spells and martial arts, Zhang Xuezhou was busy chopping wood and making wine.

The contrast between the differences is too obvious, and it doesn't seem like Zhang Xuezhou has any chance of putting up a strong fight.

Of course, the emperor and empress had to say that Zhang Xuezhou had a good conscience. At least he still remembered the Golden Toad Dharma King. Not only did he not let the Golden Toad Dharma King do heavy work, he also let the old toad demon drink the emperor's Nine Treasures Wine.
