I don't know how much time passed, but just as Cheng Ling was immersed in that wonderful feeling, a strong force of repulsion suddenly broke out in the space. Before he could react, the next moment, his body appeared on the mountain of animal bones.
Cheng Ling stabilized his body, let out a breath, and clenched his fists slightly. The powerful power coming from his body made him overjoyed. Unexpectedly, helping the Nine-tailed Fox Clan decipher the forbidden area formation would yield such great rewards.
Now being promoted to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor is equivalent to entering the late stage of the Immortal Emperor. With his combat power that can usually cross a small realm to kill enemies, the entire Immortal World is no longer afraid. Even if he encounters Jiang Haoyang, he is sure to win without using Jinghong Bow.
In this way, Luochen Sword Sect no longer needs to be afraid. As long as he is still there, there will be no shortcomings in high-end combat power. If they meet the Wuji Sect, Songfengguan, or the Sea Clan monks in the future, let them see the sect’s background.
Just as he was thinking about the beauty, Xiyue's voice came from his ears: "Congratulations, you have been promoted to the Seven-Star Immortal Emperor."
Cheng Ling turned around and saw her smiling brightly, and beside her, Xie Feng stood with a happy face. With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Xie Feng, you have been promoted to the Six-Star Immortal Emperor."
Xie Feng also said excitedly: "Thanks to Brother Cheng, I broke through two stars in that space in one fell swoop and reached the level of a six-star Immortal Emperor."
Cheng Ling knew clearly that when he entered that space, Xie Feng could upgrade two stars in one go, but he only improved by one, and the resources consumed were almost several times that of the latter.
Xiyue smiled lightly and said: "If you only enter alone, you may be able to advance directly to the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor, but it is a pity."
Cheng Ling smiled slightly and didn't agree.
For him, even if he enters alone, he may not be directly promoted to the Nine-Star Immortal Emperor. On the contrary, it is better this way. Xiefeng is promoted to the Six-star Immortal Emperor, and he can reach the Seven-star with just a little more strength. In this way, Luochen Sword Sect has two With a Seven-Star Immortal Emperor in charge, the sect's strength will reach a higher level.
He glanced up and saw that the Fox Queen had not come out yet, so he asked: "Princess Xiyue, how long have we been staying in there? Why hasn't the Fox Queen come out yet?"
"You have stayed in the black hole for three years. Soon, at most, the queen mother will be able to come out in a month."
The two of them were shocked. They both said that there is no time to practice, but they didn't expect that three years had passed in just a moment. I don’t know what’s going on with the Luochen Sword Sect, but the issue with the demon clan has not been resolved yet, so I can’t leave easily. I have no choice but to wait for the Fox Queen to come out.
The three of them waited patiently on the Beast Bone Mountain. Fortunately, Xiyue's prediction was accurate. One month later, the Fox Queen appeared on the altar again.
Cheng Ling's eyes flashed blue, and he saw that her aura was much stronger than before, and his face was filled with joy. He glanced at Cheng Ling and the others and said, "Okay, it seems that everyone has gained something. Let's leave here first."
Cheng Ling got what he wanted and didn't refuse immediately. The Fox Queen presented a flying fairy weapon and invited the three of them to sit on it.
After only one day, they returned to the castle. Cheng Ling was secretly surprised. This speed was really fast, at least for a top-notch flying fairy weapon.
In the main hall, the two parties were seated separately. Cheng Ling had been thinking for a while and was about to speak, but the Fox Queen asked first, "Friend Cheng Xian, I would like to ask, what do you think of our demon clan?"
Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment and couldn't recover for a long time. He wondered: "Queen Fox, I don't know what you mean?"
The Fox Queen smiled and said: "Then let me put it another way, if the human race and the demon race are fighting, and if the fault is the human race, will you still help the human race deal with us?"
Cheng Ling said: "Since the fault lies with the human race, I will definitely not help them deal with the demon race. I will do my best to mediate and find ways to find the culprit and avoid unnecessary killings between the two races."
The Fox Queen's eyebrows jumped and she said, "Is this true?"
"Seriously! Cheng has always been clear about grudges and never made enemies for no reason. As long as people don't offend me, I will treat them sincerely."
The Queen Fox felt certain in her heart and said: "Okay! I hope you can remember what you said today. If it is false, even if I don't kill you in the future, someone will definitely come to kill you."
Cheng Ling smiled casually and said, "You can rest assured about this. Cheng ascended from the mortal world and has seen many incredible things. In my opinion, regardless of the monster race, demon race, or human race, since heaven allows them to exist , there must be a reason for it, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, I will not interfere."
"It's just that when I came here this time, I wanted to cooperate with the demon clan on some matters."
"Cooperation? How do you want to cooperate?"
"Zhongyuan Continent is full of chaos. Of course, there are conflicts of interest, but the most important thing is the extraterritorial races. The Fox Queen should have heard of the Mountain and River List. Cheng Mou participated in it back then, and has also seen those extraterritorial races."
"They are different from the original races in the fairy world. They only know how to fight and plunder, which is of no benefit to the creatures on the Zhongyuan Continent. Therefore, Cheng worked tirelessly to come to make peace, hoping that the demon clan would temporarily give up harassing Zhongyuan. Mainland, but together with the human race, we will jointly expel the extraterrestrial races.”
"Oh?" The Fox Queen frowned and said, "You do have a compassionate idea, but even if you expel the extraterrestrial races, the conflict between the human race and the demon race cannot be resolved. A battle will eventually begin, so why not take advantage of the human race's lack of skills? On this occasion, try your best to gain benefits for the demon clan?"
Cheng Ling frowned. This question was difficult to answer. It was also the biggest crux of the negotiation and could not be avoided no matter what. After pondering for a while, he asked again: "In that case, I have a few questions that I would like to ask the Queen Fox for advice."
"You ask!"
"What is a monster clan? Are all monsters in the world a monster clan?"
"You are right, but you are also wrong. Since the beginning of the world, there has actually been only one race in the world, and that is our demon race. But after hundreds of millions of years, it slowly evolved and several legendary powers appeared. "
"One of the great powers, her name is Nuwa. She saw that we were the only race in the world and was very lonely. She felt pity and created your human race. From then on, the human race and the demon race lived together in the world. between."
"In this way, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and ethnic groups such as the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan have emerged in the world. Because the living styles and beliefs of each ethnic group are different, countless wars have broken out over the past tens of thousands of years."
"We, the demon clan, occupy the heaven, and you humans occupy the earth. At this time, two powerful men came from the west. They spread heresy and sow discord between the clans, which eventually led to a war between the demon clan and the witch clan. .”
"This battle lasted for tens of thousands of years. In the end, the Witch Clan was defeated and almost wiped out. Only a few tribesmen were left in hiding and lingering. The Demon Clan was also seriously injured and its strength was greatly reduced. It was no longer the same as before. The grand occasion.”
"The two powerful men in the West wantonly beguiled the human race and the demon race, believed in their doctrines, and incited them to cause several wars within the human race."
"Those wars were too involved. Not only the human race, but also the demon race, the demon race, and the only remaining witch race were involved. At this point, the strength of each race was greatly reduced, and eventually the Western family was alone. It gradually took over the entire West.”
"After tens of thousands of years, due to the rise of your human race, we demon race were also driven out of the heaven by you and distributed in various interfaces of the universe."
"At this point, the various ethnic groups can no longer coexist peacefully. They refuse to give in to each other for their own interests and living space. The hatred between the various ethnic groups has remained to this day."
Cheng Ling listened quietly. Hearing the entire history of the demon clan from the mouth of a demon emperor was really shocking. Things like Nuwa's creation of human beings, the rise of Buddhism, etc. were previously thought to be myths and legends, a matter of belief or disbelief.
But the glory and decline of the demon clan and the rise of the human race are so heroic and bloody. It is conceivable that in the hundreds of millions of years of war, how many ancestors of the demon clan and the heroes of the human race have lost their lives.
He took a deep breath and said: "Senior, you demon race and human race can completely coexist peacefully. As long as we can understand each other and take a step back, the resources of both sides can complement each other, so why are they so clearly separated?"
The Fox Queen shook her head and said: "You think too simplistically. Monks and monsters often put interests first, so how can they stop and negotiate quietly. If you need our resources, just compress our living space. , and we can also use you humans to improve your cultivation. This is a deadlock that is difficult to resolve."
Cheng Ling's eyes sparkled, and he said: "I haven't been practicing for a long time, only five or six hundred years. Before, I didn't know what the purpose of practice was. It was just to improve my cultivation and protect my loved ones. "
"But now after listening to the words of the seniors, I think that the monk himself is not just for immortality, but also for improving the rights gained after his cultivation. He also has the responsibility to protect a race from being invaded and to ensure that the race is protected. Can thrive.”
"Therefore, I have decided. As long as I have the ability, I will do my best to eliminate the conflict between the human and demon races, so that the two races can no longer hate each other and stop killing!"
As soon as Cheng Ling finished speaking, a gleam of light appeared on his body, and his soul began to gradually sublimate. In an instant, his understanding of the way of heaven deepened. His words were like morning bells and evening drums, echoing in the air.
The Fox Queen looked at him in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face, and murmured: "As he says, he has been recognized by heaven. This son is absolutely extraordinary and cannot be an enemy!"
After a long time, the voice gradually disappeared, and Cheng Ling came back to his senses. He didn't know what happened just now, but he felt that his soul had improved a little, and his understanding of the way of heaven became clearer.
The Queen Fox said sincerely: "Okay, I believe you can do it in the future."
Cheng Ling took a long breath and asked again: "Does the great power in the West you are talking about refer to Buddhism?"
"Buddhism is just a branch of it. They are very powerful. They not only control Buddhism, but I don't know the depth of it. All I know are some memories in the inheritance, and many memories have already been Disappeared."
Cheng Ling nodded. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the words and deeds of the Buddha were surprisingly similar to what the Fox Queen said about the great power of the West. Furthermore, strictly speaking, the Buddha was also an extraterrestrial race, but it had gradually faded away over time in the fairy world. .
Regarding this point, he quite agreed with Jiang Haoyang's theory. The Buddha Sect was by no means simple and was probably the initiator of all conspiracies.
However, after listening to what the Queen Fox said, she only knew a rough and specific reason for the several battles hundreds of millions of years ago. Moreover, in the past ten thousand years in the Zhongyuan Continent, she had not heard of any major wars between the demon race and the human race. War, obviously in this fairy world, the power of the demon clan has withered too much.
