The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 218: Fooling Yan Ruyu

After hearing Jiang Taixu's words, Liu Shan was a little confused as to why he suddenly mentioned the marriage.

On the side, Yan Ruyu, who had originally had a gentle expression, suddenly became a little ugly. She looked at the God King Jiang Taixu with an unfriendly look, not understanding what he meant.

The originally indifferent Princess Silkworm also turned cold in an instant, and a bone-chilling chill emanated from her.

Only Long Li was still looking at Jiang Taixu with a smile, waiting for him to continue.

"God King, why did you suddenly mention a marriage?" Liu Shan quickly stood up and walked in front of Jiang Taixu. Liu Shan was afraid that the Divine Silkworm Princess would get furious and attack Jiang Taixu directly.

Feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere, Jiang Taixu just smiled slightly. He had no hidden thoughts, so he said them in public. As for the consequences, Jiang Taixu believed that Liu Shan could handle it.

"Won't there be a big crisis in a few hundred years?"

"If the major holy places and noble families can unite and face it together, the probability of overcoming the crisis will be greater."

“Although the major holy places seem to get along well on the surface, they still have many conflicts of interest in secret. So once a crisis occurs, they will just be wary of each other, or even hold each other back. They will never join forces to fight!”

"So we need a middleman to connect all the holy places and noble families and find someone that everyone can trust. This way, when we face a crisis, we can all work together."

After hearing Jiang Taixu's explanation, Liu Shan thought for a moment and shook his head to refuse.

Although each of the major families has a strong foundation, this strength is nothing more than a source of energy to replenish their vitality in front of the Dark Supreme.

Even if all the monks joined forces, it would only be a dish that could help the supreme beings recover their energy.

"God King, once a crisis occurs, even if all the major holy places join forces, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist!"

Yan Ruyu and the Princess of the Divine Silkworm, who were standing by, heard the conversation between the two. Although they were confused, their emotions calmed down.

They also knew that Jiang Taixu had arranged a marriage for Liu Shan for some reason, so they all decided to wait patiently and listen to Liu Shan's explanation.

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Jiang Taixu was silent for a moment. He just wanted to increase his chances of winning, which seemed a bit unrealistic.

"The Yaochi Holy Land, Yaoguang Holy Land, Ji Family, and Jiang Family all have supreme imperial weapons, so there is meaning in joining forces."

If a marriage is really necessary, then it would only make sense for a holy land that possesses the ultimate imperial weapon. There is no need for marriage in other holy lands at all.

"The Saintess of Yaochi Holy Land is the next generation of Saint Master and generally will not marry outside the family."

"The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang Holy Land is Yao Xi. I can propose marriage for you."

"Among the younger generation of the Ji family, Ji Ziyue and Ji Biyue have decent talents. Which one do you like? I can help you out!"

"The younger generation of our Jiang family includes Jiang Caixuan and Jiang Tingting."

Jiang Taixu recalled and then mentioned the younger generations of the four holy places.

"Tingting?"

When Liu Shan heard Jiang Taixu mention Jiang Tingting, his brows frowned. In his impression, Jiang Tingting was still a little girl.

"Jiang Tingting is still a little girl, why is she being used for marriage?" Liu Shan was a little unhappy.

"What about Jiang Caixuan?"

"Jiang Yifei's sister?"

Liu Shan still had some impression of Jiang Caixuan, Jiang Yifei's biological sister. In the end, she was only in Beidou, but she also cultivated to the realm of Great Sage and had great potential!

Looking at Liu Shan who was thinking, Jiang Taixu also understood his thoughts.

When she heard Liu Shan and Jiang Taixu directly discussing the marriage, although she knew there were reasons for it, Princess Shencan was still in a bad mood. She didn't want to wait any longer, so she got up and left.

Although Yan Ruyu felt uncomfortable, she was still trying to endure it. Now that she saw the Divine Silkworm Princess leave first, she could no longer endure it. She stood up, nodded slightly to Jiang Taixu, and turned to leave.

Looking at the two girls leaving, Liu Shan felt helpless, but he could understand it. It seemed that he would have to explain it in detail later.

Jiang Taixu looked at this scene with amusement and didn't say much. This private matter had to be resolved by Liu Shan himself.

"What about the Ji family and the Yaoguang Holy Land?"

Ji Ziyue is Ye Fan’s wife, and Liu Shan has no interest in stealing someone else’s love. Liu Shan has never met Ji Biyue, so he cannot comment on her.

Yao Xi is also Ye Fan’s wife, and the Yaoguang Holy Land is the lair of a group of ruthless people. Liu Shan still has some entanglements with them that have not been resolved.

"Ji Ziyue from the Ji family and Yao Xi from the Yaoguang Holy Land both have a close relationship with Ye Fan. Ye Fan and I are friends, so does that mean we don't need to form an alliance?"

Although Liu Shan was interested in beautiful women, this kind of marriage of convenience was still awkward.

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Jiang Taixu shook his head helplessly.

"Marriage is just a means to ensure benefits. It is impossible to connect through two people!"

After hearing Jiang Taixu's refusal, Liu Shan became annoyed. Thinking of the two princesses who had just left, he was no longer in the mood to discuss the marriage with the God King.

"God King, I'd better coax the two princesses first and let me think about it again." After saying that, Liu Shan left first.

Gently pushing open the door of the hall, Liu Shan saw Yan Ruyu still concentrating with her eyes closed. He smiled bitterly and walked gently to her side.

"Princess."

Liu Shan called Yan Ruyu softly and took her hand. After hearing Liu Shan's words, Yan Ruyu stopped pretending to sleep and opened her watery eyes, waiting for Liu Shan's explanation.

On the way here, Liu Shan had decided to tell Yan Ruyu about the dark turmoil. After all, the two of them would have to work together to deal with the Green Emperor who was trapped in the Yin Tomb.

"Princess, I told you before that the Green Emperor might not have fallen yet. Do you remember?"

Yan Ruyu was still waiting for Liu Shan's explanation, but she didn't expect him to suddenly talk about his ancestors.

Frowning slightly, Yan Ruyu still nodded.

"The Green Emperor was in his prime, but he disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, right?" Liu Shan began to change the subject.

"Since ancient times, anyone who has achieved the throne will have to face one thing, and that is lifespan!"

"Even if they become the strongest in the universe and rule the endless universe, their ultimate lifespan is only a mere 10,000 years. How pathetic is this!"

“So once they have achieved enlightenment, they will be respected by the whole universe, and the great emperors and ancient kings will pursue immortality, that is, becoming immortals.”

“The path to becoming an immortal is long and elusive. Although there have always been legends of becoming an immortal, all cultivators have never actually seen an immortal!”

"And the Green Emperor had a bold idea. Since there were no immortals in the world, he would create an immortal realm so that all cultivators could become immortals."

"hiss"

Hearing Liu Shan say this, Yan Ruyu was attracted and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Ancestor! It seems a little too fantastic!
"Are there really immortals in the world?" Yan Ruyu couldn't help but ask.

Although she didn't know why she asked this question, why did she ask Liu Shan?

"Yes! The four swords of Lingbao Tianzun in the legend have killed immortals. The Immortal Emperor of the mythological era is a creature of the immortal realm."

"Are they all legends?" Yan Ruyu murmured.

She was not satisfied with this answer. Although she was a cultivator, she had always been skeptical about the legendary immortals.

After all, immortals only exist in legends and have never been confirmed.

Looking at Yan Ruyu who was in confusion, Liu Shan gently picked her up and smelled her fragrance in his arms.

"The place where the Green Emperor is trapped is the Desolate Tower, which is the legendary immortal weapon!"

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Yan Ruyu instantly broke free from Liu Shan's arms and looked at him with excitement on her face.

Immortal weapon! Desolate tower! The ancestors really didn't die! Liu Shan didn't lie to her.

"Is the ancestor really trapped in the desolate tower? Then let's go and rescue him!" Yan Ruyu was very excited. If the ancestor could be rescued, the entire Beidou and the entire universe would change.

"We can even trap the Demon Emperor. Do you think we can rescue him?" Liu Shan shook his head and refused.

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Yan Ruyu's excitement disappeared instantly, and her body shook involuntarily.

Yes, our ancestor, as a great emperor, was trapped. How could these little monks rescue him?
"Then you said before that you wanted to rescue our ancestors?" Yan Ruyu looked at Liu Shan pitifully, hoping that he could come up with a good idea.

“Senior Gai Jiuyou, do you know?”

"Nine thousand years ago, the invincible Senior Gai Jiuyou from Zhongzhou?"

"Could it be..."

Yan Ruyu knew that Liu Shan would not suddenly mention Gai Jiuyou, and suddenly a guess came to her mind.

"Yes, Senior Gai Jiuyou did not die either. His cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor! However, due to his life span, he fell from the Quasi-Emperor realm again."

"I got to know him, and I helped him find a fruit that could produce the elixir of immortality. He is now transforming!"

"Only when he comes out, he can rescue the Green Emperor!"

After hearing what Liu Shan said, Yan Ruyu looked at him in disbelief.

Knowing that the ancestor is not dead, Gai Jiuyou is not dead, and being able to find the immortality elixir! These are too bizarre!

"Who are you and why do you know so many secrets?" Yan Ruyu couldn't help but ask!
Liu Shan knows too many secrets. These are all secrets! Even a monk who is proficient in divine calculations may not be able to calculate them!
Hearing Yan Ruyu's question, Liu Shan just shook his head slightly. There was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing Liu Shan shaking his head and not explaining, Yan Ruyu felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to force Liu Shan. After all, he had told her so many secrets.

No! Why did he tell me so many secrets?

Aren't you going to explain the marriage? Why are you going so far off topic?
"What does this have to do with the marriage?" Yan Ruyu was a little unhappy. He found so many excuses and the original matter had not been explained yet!

Seeing Yan Ruyu who was a little angry, Liu Shan picked her up again. Beautiful people are so cute even when they are angry.

Ignoring the struggle of the beauty in his arms, Liu Shan whispered softly into Yan Ruyu's ear.

"I'm not changing the subject. Just listen to me."

Liu Shan gently kissed Yan Ruyu's earlobe and felt a little delighted that this demon princess was so easy to coax.
