Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 457 Immortal

Seeing Bai Wuhou again, his appearance was very surprising.

It was obvious that they had just separated not long ago, and the protracted wheel battle should have left tens of thousands of scars on his body... However, that messy appearance with disheveled hair and ragged clothes seemed to have become a phantom that never existed.

Today's Bai Wuhou has a meticulous gray robe, a crystal-clear red jade crown, a face as smooth as jade, and an even taller and taller figure. In this small cave, he seems to stand tall and tall, making people unconsciously bow and kneel in shame.

Seeing Bai Wuhou looking like this, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile.

"It's full of ritual, Ming Zong. It's just a matter of using the few remaining mysteries of the old immortal law to make a momentary [rebirth]. Even the outfit has been changed into a brand new one... How much do you still have of that gray robe?" Exactly the same?”

Bai Wuhou ignored Lu Zhiyao's teasing, but relied on his tall figure to look down at his opponent, using every ounce of caution to scrutinize him to ensure that there was no possibility of surprise.

However, just when he had roughly come to a conclusion in his mind, he heard Lu Zhiyao change the subject.

"Speaking of it, I came from the three great real immortal families who secretly colluded to form a private immortal law. Almost everything your Bai family did was not what I expected, but...fourth uncle Bai Jingya, haha, your Bai family surprised me. Contributed a great joke. Seriously, before today, did Bai Cheng know his fourth uncle who was sympathetic to his adoptive father? He also said that he was estranged from his parents and was cared for by his fourth uncle... You can really bully someone into silence. Bai Cheng has always respected her biological parents the most and would go to their graves every year to pay homage to them. For hundreds of years, even if she didn't want to ascend to the immortal world, she still had this consideration. But now, her parents' graves should be buried. Have you already reconciled it? It’s a trick of forcibly distorting cognition. It’s very taboo for the person involved to get caught up in the situation and reveal flaws..."

Ming Zong remained silent, but frowned slightly, as if he was confused.

After a pause, Lu Zhiyao shook her head and said with a smile: "Besides, there is no need to expose this matter at all. I asked myself, even if Bai Jingya was really Bai Cheng's fourth uncle, wouldn't I have killed him that day? Haha, Of course I want to kill him. Judging from what he did in Yanwu, it is really cheap to kill him with a sword. And I am a mere mortal in Yanwu, killing a member of the real immortal family - although strictly speaking, Bai Jingya is just an ordinary person. Senior - it is tantamount to violating Bai Cheng's big taboo. As for whether the Bai family is her distant relatives or close neighbors, there is actually no essential difference. In the final analysis, the root of the conflict between me and Bai Cheng is not human rights and wrongs, but the stance of immortals. Since she finally made up her mind to stand on the side of Desolation, my break with her is inevitable. But... Ming Zong, I have a question. Since you can distort Bai Cheng's cognition, let her. If she recognizes her thief as her father, why not simply delete everything about me in her memory and treat me directly as the family's number one enemy? Wouldn't it be better if she doesn't fight to death? You are willing to completely break up with me, and you are still dreaming about persuading me to surrender... If I really surrender, I'm afraid you will have a headache. That's why Ming Zong, you, took advantage of Bai Cheng's departure and dressed up like a groom to block me. The intentions here are evil, because you can’t bear my surrender.”

Lu Zhiyao asked with a smile: "Do you want to ask me, since you already knew all this, why didn't you expose it on the spot? Because, since you dare to expose such an obvious flaw, you must have compiled a full set of background settings, etc. Let me argue. Your surname is Bai, but my surname is Lu. How can I compete with you for the right to say that Bai Jingya is her fourth uncle? You can make up as much evidence as you want. The evidence in my hand is just the memories of countless night conversations between the sisters during the Lingshan period, and they are just empty words, so why should I rely on them?"

Lu Zhiyao's question did not receive a response.

Bai Wuhou remained silent, but his right hand hanging by his waist trembled slightly, as if he was surprised by Lu Zhiyao's keenness, and also seemed uneasy about the accident that was about to happen.

"It's a pity that Bai Cheng has always had doubts about such a prosperous and beautiful scenery, and he is unwilling to fully receive the gift of the Immortal Law, let alone integrate his own magical powers into the Immortal Law. As for such a great person, you originally planned to slowly figure it out. However, the situation on the frontline is changing rapidly now, and you can't wait for Bai Cheng to be convinced, so even if it will damage the integrity of Xianlu in the future, you can't wait to force Bai Cheng to submit. Unfortunately, Bai Cheng's force is never sweet. She has always been unwilling to ascend, but she has always respected the rules established by Immortal Ancestor Chicheng. Forcing such a rebellious child to integrate into your twisted new Immortal Law will inevitably lead to half the effort, so not only will the Immortal Law become more broken, but it will also deviate from the old law. , even Bai Cheng can't control it freely. You can only rely on some trick of recognizing the thief as the father, tricking and deceiving, to force her in front of me, and let her kill the girl I cherish, so that there is no room for turning around in the conflict between us. . In fact, it should be said that you have done a good job. Bai Cheng and I have indeed broken up, and Bai Cheng has indeed helped you fill in the key link of the Immortal Law. However, your weakness and incompetence has been exposed. The so-called Immortal Law of Heaven. , it’s just desolate, sad and ridiculous.”

Afterwards, Lu Zhiyao seemed to have expected Bai Wuhou's silence, and asked and answered: "Because you can't do it. Using the Immortal Law to forcibly distort the cognition of a true immortal is a power that can only be possessed after the Immortal Law is perfected. And you three aristocratic families have searched through the heavenly inheritance, but you have never been able to make the new Immortal Law in your hands inherit the orthodoxy and complete the merits. Therefore, you can only try your best to use folk remedies to supplement the Immortal Law and make up for it with thousands of good and supreme pure things. There are so many holes that people who are under the Immortal Law can't bear it, and their body and mind become deformed, and even their body explodes and they die tragically! The aura of the majestic palace is also polluted by evil poison, and Bai Cheng is your most cherished tonic of the Immortal Law. Her innate magical power is best at moving people's hearts through cause and effect. If combined with the fairy law in your hands that emphasizes the relationship between king and minister, father and son, and superior and subordinate, you can create a ruler who will never be easy, all living beings will be willing to be dogs and horses, and the world will be eternally peaceful. The prosperous age of the Immortal Family."

After hearing this, Bai Wuhou finally couldn't hold himself back and spoke for the first time.

"You are the pathetic and ridiculous person! What do you know about heaven, and what immortal laws have you seen?! A junior who has only been immortalized for only a hundred days dares to talk shamelessly and talk about the immortal laws. How ridiculous!? Do you know that this is a great catastrophe for heaven and earth? It is precisely because the old immortal law of Immortal Ancestor Chicheng is unsustainable, no matter how hard the immortals try to maintain it, it will eventually disintegrate! ? Either hold on to the broken law in your arms and linger on, hoping that everything will return to the time before the catastrophe, or you can act recklessly and use your magical powers to follow your own path like a prehistoric witch beast... Only the three great families are willing to join forces to reestablish the heaven and restore order. , laying the foundation for great achievements in future generations! Although this process is full of difficulties and obstacles, and even the immortal law is full of holes as you said, it is at least the only feasible way at the moment! It’s okay to be sarcastic and sarcastic, but now you are standing directly in front of the Immortal Law to destroy this hard-won order. The so-called extraterrestrial demon is nothing more than that!”

Hearing this, Lu Zhiyao raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Wow, Mingzong, you actually spoke? I thought you would keep the setting of the Silent Master throughout. After the previous battle at Feng Lake, you couldn't After careful recuperation, I was forcibly reborn, rushed thousands of miles to the Song Family Fort, followed Bai Cheng, and blocked me in this gap... Ming Zong, your intention is written directly on your face, and you want to take advantage of me When you are seriously injured and weak, it is best to kill with a quick knife. Any more time you waste may lead to more nightmares. So, what makes you change your mind and suddenly start debating with me? People, even if you die, you should know it well? Or, you suddenly no longer have the confidence to kill, and you need to chat with me more and find out more before you have the confidence to kill someone?" Bai Wuhou ignored these words. He continued to question: "You are extremely arrogant towards the Immortal Law of Heaven, and often scornfully call it barren and polluted. However, the laws you uphold are just castles in the air so far! You accuse the Immortal Law of building its foundation with mortal flesh and blood. And your ideal Isn’t it the foundation of the Desolate and Prosperous Age to be based on the corpses of immortals like us?”

Lu Zhiyao shook her head and said: "Although I don't want to talk nonsense...but regarding the concept, I must clarify: My ideal new era never needs the corpses of immortals, but only needs a soil that can accommodate all living beings to practice equally. Thousands of years later, Maybe there will be a truly prosperous time when everyone becomes an immortal.”

Bai Wuhou sneered: "Oh, I only need one! Maybe a thousand years later! After the great catastrophe, the immortal world will not exist, the old immortal laws will disappear, the immortal way has become like water without a source, and a tree without roots, even within the bodies of the immortals The immortal energy is always used a little less... The most advanced spirit-returning array in the world can only replenish the spiritual energy of the mortal world. If you use too much, it will gradually decline like you. You can only ascend to immortality for a hundred days, but you can still endure it. The world is full of turbid Qi, but what about those senior immortals who have long been unable to live without the Qi of Immortal Spirits? Their only way to survive is to use the Qi of the Imperial Court to nourish their immortal energy! It’s the life of an immortal! No matter how magnificent your beautiful scenery is, we can’t wait for you for a thousand years!”

Lu Zhiyao nodded and said: "So I said it is an ideal, and of course it is different from reality. But it is not that there are no ways to overcome difficulties. You can't do without the spirit of the fairy, and you can't stand the turbid air of the mortal world... You can think of a way For hibernation, you can refine preservatives for yourself, dehydrate yourself and roll them up for storage. Even if the immortal world does not exist and Kyushu is shattered, it is not impossible to find a beautiful refrigerator to live in for a thousand years. Okay. It’s just that you don’t want to. Of course, I understand your reluctance, but the sentient beings in Jiuzhou don’t want to be used as food for their survival.”

Bai Wuhou said angrily: "And who are you, a sentient being in the Nine Provinces? You have been high on the Lingshan Mountain since you have been practicing in the mortal world, inheriting the supreme Taoism left by the immortal ancestors, and you are not convinced by the turbulence of the world. Although you have been an immortal for only a hundred days, you can openly slander You have not been held accountable, and you have been favored by the immortal ancestors all your life, but now you stand on the side of the so-called sentient beings, isn't it shameless?"

Lu Zhiyao's face showed surprise: "It's rare to hear you speak in such a sonorous and powerful tone... You are right, I do not actually represent all sentient beings in Jiuzhou, and now I use the banner of sentient beings to oppose you and dig up your foundation... ...Partly because I disdain to associate with you, a bunch of losers who are doomed to achieve nothing. My ideal is certainly out of reach, but your so-called ideal is about to collapse. If Tianting falls again, there is no way that Jiuzhou Continent will be able to survive again!"

Bai Wuhou said: "If the immortal is destined to perish, then there is nothing wrong with being buried with Jiuzhou Continent. Even if there is only a glimmer of life, you should try your best to fight for it. This is the benefit of the immortal! You enjoy the benefits of the immortal and you should fulfill the responsibilities of the immortal. !”

Lu Zhiyao said: "Yes, I have benefited from the immortals all my life, and there is really no reason to betray the immortals. However, I have never felt that what I did betrayed the immortals. The question is, when did you become qualified to represent the immortals? ?”

Bai Wuhou asked in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to question our qualifications?"

Lu Zhiyao smiled and said: "What qualifications do I have? It's a good question, but before I reveal the answer, you might as well think about it for yourself. In fact, you have already made some assumptions, so you will continue to be with me. The conversation here is ridiculous, isn't it? I can give you some tips: think about it carefully, why did the Heavenly Court accept thousands of ascended people for thousands of years before me when I spoke nonsense and openly rejected the Immortal Law? Is there an exception like me? I interrupted the Bai family's strategy of occupying Fenghu, and it was almost a mortal enemy of the Bai family. Why are you the only one among the five elders to charge forward? Did a loose immortal really involve so much of your energy? Or, except for you, the other four old guys had a tacit understanding and deliberately sent the most unsociable Bai family member to physically detect mines? Going back to the original question, what qualifications do I have to question the qualifications of you old-timers?”

"You..." Although Bai Wuhou looked calm and his posture was as usual, the wavering inside was obvious!
At the same time, Lu Zhiyao's smile became more and more weird in front of him.

"Ming Zong, you have exposed your flaws."

In an instant, the Yao sword was unsheathed.

It was a dazzling sword light that did not belong to Lu Zhiyao at all. The power of the sword was like creating a new world, and it could overturn mountains and seas in an instant. However, the power of the sword was perfectly controlled, and not a single trace of the aftermath was leaked.

The light was extinguished the moment it bloomed, the Yao sword was unsheathed and returned to its sheath, and the gap in the Taoyuan was as silent as before.

In the cramped cave, only Lu Zhiyao's figure gradually changed into the shape of another person with the swaying of the glass lamp above her head.
