Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 162
The courtyard is secluded, with a pond in the middle. Green lotuses are blooming on the water. A weeping willow is planted on the edge of the pond. Its leaves are crystal clear and full of energy, as if there is light.

The entire courtyard is also wrapped in a spiritual formation, isolating the disturbance from the outside world. When you look up, you can see the boundaries of the altar, so you must be careful at all times.

After traveling abroad in the past two years, Shen Qing also learned a lot about the Central Dynasty.

The royal family of the Central Dynasty, whose surname was Beitang, has ruled the four regions of China for more than [-] years. Even so, the throne can only be replaced by six generations.

This generation of holy emperors has only been on the throne for a few hundred years, and they have few heirs. There are only six in total. Beitang Shifeng is the eldest son of the emperor, and there is another prince below him. The other four are all princesses, all aged Not young, the youngest princess is nearly three thousand years old.

Except for the Holy Emperor, there are about a hundred other clan princes and princes with titles. Under normal circumstances, this is almost unimaginable for a royal family that has been inherited for more than [-] years.

Just because there is a family order restriction in the Beitang royal family, each person cannot have more than ten children, and the children of the Beitang family who are not from the lineage of the Holy Emperor will be deprived of their royal status after two generations, or they will enter the Demon Slayer Department. , or leave the Middle-earth, go to the land of the Four Domains, and live in anonymity.

Take Beitang Shifeng's generation as an example. Except for his own children, the children born to other brothers and sisters can no longer be regarded as members of the royal family. They basically all have the surname of Taoist couple.

As for fiefdoms, there is naturally no such thing. Every inch of land in the four regions of Middle-earth belongs to the Holy King of Nine Nethers, and the Central Dynasty is only in charge. This is the consensus of all living beings in the world. Even the Holy Emperor does not have the right to enfeoff. .

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Shen Qing leaned over and said hello. She did not feel any threat from Beitang Shifeng. This was obviously because his cultivation had reached the realm of transformation and his divine beauty was restrained. At first glance, except for those strange eyes, , almost no different from ordinary people.

As the commander-in-chief of the Demon Slaying Division, Beitang Shifeng's cultivation is naturally not ordinary. With a lifespan of more than [-] years, he has already reached the pinnacle of Guiyi and stands on the top of the world. He is even more terrifying than Zhao Yingnan.

During her previous travels, Shen Qing had heard many rumors about the prince. He acted absurdly when he was young, was lascivious, and had nearly a thousand beauties in his backyard at his peak.

When Beitang Shifeng entered the realm of Shen Zang, something seemed to have happened to him. Overnight, the prodigal son turned back, dismissed all his wives and concubines, and just settled down, not being close to women.

There are rumors that Beitang Shifeng attained enlightenment overnight and had a glimpse of the world of mortals, seeing the true meaning of spiritual practice. As a result, his character changed drastically. There were also rumors that the eldest son of the emperor had thousands of wives and concubines but no children. He was suffering from a hidden illness. There are even rumors that Beitang Shifeng was obsessed with a woman.

There are rumors floating around, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false, but the only thing that is certain is that Beitang Shifeng has indeed changed since then.

After he stopped flirting with women, Beitang Shifeng's cultivation speed was so fast that he finally opened 180 two places of divine treasure in his body, and then his spirit and form were unified, and he entered the true state of unity.

Not long after he entered the Guiyi Zhen Realm, he crossed two realms in the Northern Territory and beheaded a giant monster that was in the late sixth level and had lived for nearly [-] years. The battle shocked the world.

It was precisely because of this that the Demon Slayer Division was finally handed over to him.

After the current Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the position of prince naturally fell on his head, and no one in the court raised any objections.

The Holy King of Jiuyou had issued a divine edict to summon Beitang Shifeng as a divine general after his death.

From all this, it is enough to see what kind of person the Crown Prince is in front of him.

"Don't be too polite."

Beitang Shifeng waved his hand, without any pretense, nor did he look down upon Shen Qing's current cultivation level. His attitude was very gentle:

"Ying Nan has already told me your basic situation. Your Excellency is willing to contribute to the crusade against Jiuyou, with the world in mind. This is the blessing of the people of the world. Shi Feng would like to thank you."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. I am an ordinary person with dirty bones. I don't have much noble moral character, and I can't say that I can contribute to the world."

Shen Qing didn't answer Beitang Shifeng's words. She was not trying to save the world, but just for herself. There was no need to put money on her face.

Hearing this, Beitang Shifeng's expression remained unchanged and he glanced at Zhao Yingnan.

Zhao Yingnan understood, bowed his hands, and slowly exited the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned me suddenly. He must have something to discuss, so please speak up." Shen Qing got straight to the point.

This meeting was arranged by True Lord Qingyun, who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Beitang Shifeng suddenly wanted to see her, so he must have something to say.

Beitang Shifeng didn't beat around the bush anymore and said seriously: "I have no intention of exploring the secrets of your Excellency. I just want to ask one thing, how sure are you about killing Jiuyou?"

"Fifty percent." Shen Qing said without thinking.

"So high?" Beitang Shifeng couldn't help but be a little surprised, and it was hard to understand where Shen Qing's confidence came from.

"He dies or I die, these are the only two possibilities. Naturally, the probability is [-]%."

Shen Qing shook his head slightly and said: "His Royal Highness must also know very well that Jiuyou's strength has long exceeded the scope of the Guiyi Realm. On this star, even the true gods of the ordinary creation realm may not be its opponents. I It’s impossible to be sure of victory.”

As Shen Qing's understanding of the Red Blood Molten Star Formation deepened, Shen Qing became more and more aware of the terror of Jiuyou Holy King. With this layer of formation as the backing, Jiuyou could draw the power of this star at any time. For personal use.

In other words, to kill Jiuyou, you need to have the combat power to destroy this star. This is simply impossible to do without interference from outside entities.The heaven and earth environment of this star, due to the existence of the Red Blood Molten Star Formation, is destined to be unable to give birth to an existence in the Creation Realm. It is almost a dead end.

The reason why Shen Qing is somewhat confident is that she wants to follow the ancient method and open up as many divine treasures in the body as possible, so that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, and finally the divine form will be unified, and she will gain enough combat power to kill gods in the realm of unity.

As for the strength of Jiuyou Holy King, Beitang Shifeng, as the prince of the dynasty, knew very well that if Guiyi Realm had the strength to kill Jiuyou, the Central Dynasty would have taken action long ago.

"The growth and changes of all things in the world have their own laws. Your cultivation has advanced so quickly. In addition to losing your lifespan, you will definitely need certain conditions to support it. What can I do for you?"

Beitang Shifeng didn't say any more and directly asked Shen Qing what he wanted: "About this, I hope you will tell the truth, otherwise I won't be able to help you."

Shen Qing did not hide anything, and said concisely and concisely: "I want to kill animals to nourish my body."

"Killing...that's what it is."

A flash of realization flashed in Beitang Shifeng's eyes. At the first glance, he could see the evil aura hidden in Shen Qing's aura.

He didn't feel much about this request. The number of humans and monsters he had killed in his life had long been unknown. He had seen many evil techniques that really killed living beings and took away souls, and there was nothing surprising about them.

After all, for practitioners, swallowing other living beings to nourish themselves is not much different from swallowing the elixir of heaven and earth.

If it weren't for the fact that these techniques would have some flaws, he wouldn't even mind practicing them himself in order to kill the Holy King Jiuyou.

"This is easy to handle. I can submit a petition to grant you the title of Deputy Chief of the Demon Slaying Department. Then I will assign two True Lords to send you to the Northern Territory. The evil spirits there are endless and can be killed. I should treat you accordingly. It will help.”

Beitang Shifeng nodded slightly, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes: "These demons are violent and extremely difficult to capture alive. Otherwise, it would be easier to capture some demons directly and bring them to the Imperial Capital."

After saying that, he asked again: "How much time do you need to prepare?"

After Shen Qing pondered for a moment, he nodded and said: "Fake me for ten years, and I can fight to the death."

This ten years is an approximate estimate by Shen Qing. If it weren't for the effort required to accumulate energy, this time would only be shorter.

Moreover, Shen Qing was not sure about the final result. The sundial deduction had its limits after all, and it did not mean that it would help her remove the bottleneck. If the cultivation bottleneck could not be broken through, her lifespan might not last long, and it would soon be over. will be burned up.

She will stay in this era for more than 100 years and die early. No one knows what will happen.

Beitang Shifeng did not hesitate too much and nodded in agreement: "Within ten years, the Demon Slayer Division will fully assist you. As for Jiuyou Holy King, I will help you cover up. If you have any other needs, just ask."

After saying that, he slowly turned around and walked straight out of the courtyard: "I will make arrangements now and see you off tomorrow."

"How much does His Highness know about the Red Blood Molten Star Formation?"

Shen Qing hesitated slightly, but still asked the question tentatively. She wanted to know how much Beitang Shifeng knew.

Beitang Shifeng stopped, did not look back, and asked softly: "Why do you think the previous government rebelled?"

Shen Qing's heart was shocked. Just as she had guessed, the Red Blood Molten Star Formation was no secret to the ruler of this world.

Since you already know this, why do you still work for the Nine Nether Saint King?
Before Shen Qing could ask the question in his mind, Beitang Shifeng spoke again:
"Jiuyou once said that when the light of the stars goes out, he will take us into the universe and explore the realm of eternal life."

eternal life……

Hearing these two words, Shen Qing couldn't help but shake his head: "Will anyone believe this?"

As time goes by, even the Dao Ancestor has already become ashes in the wind. How can the Holy King of Nine Nethers do it?

"At least Jiuyou feels that someone believes it. There must be someone who really believed it in the previous dynasty."

Beitang Shifeng's eyes flashed slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes.

It is impossible for Jiuyou alone to take away all the creatures in the four regions of Middle-earth, not to mention that the Red Blood Molten Star Formation also needs enough sacrifices.

Shen Qing retracted his thoughts, no longer thought about it, and asked casually: "Has the prince ever worried about making the same mistakes again?"

"What you do will always come true, and what you do will always come. If you don't do it, you will die without knowing it. In this life, I am destined to die outside the sky."

Beitang Shifeng spoke calmly and slowly left the courtyard.
