There was silence in the magnificent and ancient palace.
There are only two supreme figures facing each other, and there is a mysterious and inexplicable flow between them.
The majestic voice of the Immortal Emperor seemed to still echo in the ancient palace.
After a long time, Duan Decai sighed softly, as if he had made some kind of determination, and resolutely raised his head and looked straight into Zhou Luo's eyes:
"Without the protection of you, the Immortal Emperor, in this world, I am afraid that even if I practice diligently and practice hard, I will not be able to become an emperor. I will never forget this kindness."
"Since you are the Immortal Emperor and you are asking me, Taoist priest, I will definitely not hide it."
Seeing Duan De looking so solemn, Zhou Luo calmed down and said thoughtfully:
"Is it possible that you really remember the past of Ming Zun?"
Hearing this, Duan De slowly shook his head and took the initiative to explain:
"Although Ming Zun and I should be in the same body, even if I successfully attain enlightenment, I will still be myself as a Taoist and will not be affected by the old ghost Ming Zun."
Having said this, Duan De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, ever since Yu Dengxian accepted the legacy of Lord Ming in Dengxian Land, he has been worried, fearing that he would become the support for Lord Ming's return and lose himself.
Now that she has become a queen and has gained insight into more secrets, Duan De takes it more seriously.
Previously, he had been hesitant about telling the Immortal Emperor the secrets involved in becoming an immortal.
After much thought, Duan De finally decided to tell the whole story.
First of all, he was the one who dug out the Immortal Emperor in this life. Although he did not have much interaction with the latter, he was quite reassured by the character Zhou Luo showed;
Secondly, Duan De has noticed that the path opened by the Immortal Emperor is completely different. He must have his own unique way to become an immortal, and he may not like his method;
Thirdly, his method of becoming an immortal still has a lot to improve. If the Immortal Emperor can comprehend it together with him, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
Thinking like this, Duan De did not hesitate anymore and gritted his teeth and said:
"To be honest with the Immortal Emperor, this body has another life before me and Lord Ming. It is the first Heavenly Lord to attain enlightenment in the age of mythology - Heavenly Lord Crossing Tribulation, and those of us who first practiced were all Heavenly Lords Crossing Tribulation. Heavenly power!"
Duan De actually took the initiative to tell his origin, which surprised Zhou Luo. He nodded and said in a calm tone:
"The Emperor has already known this."
Hearing this, Duan De's eyes nearly popped out of his head, with a look of astonishment that seemed to say, "You know all this?!".
Seeing this, Zhou Luo smiled and used his Heavenly Skill a little, and soon Duan De's familiar aura filled the air:
"The Emperor of the Underworld has forgotten that I was once the Lord of the Underworld in the past, and had a great opportunity to obtain the complete Heavenly Tribulation Technique and the Underworld Sutra."
"Although the origin of Mingzun is mysterious, it is not traceable."
Duan De suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that the Immortal Emperor in front of him also wore a "waistcoat". Daofu Tianzun was very brilliant in the last years of the myth.
However, Duan De was not an ordinary person and quickly regained his composure.
Since the Immortal Emperor knew far more than he expected, it saved him a lot of time.
"In the past, the Lord of Tribulation buried his body, and his soul was extinguished. Nearly a million years later, his body channeled spirits and reappeared in the world, and he was the Lord of the Underworld."
"The cultivation level of Ming Zun is far better than that of the past Tribulation Master. In order to transcend, he created the Ming Sutra and the Source Code, and established the underworld to study the method of becoming an immortal."
"Although he succeeded in Nirvana transformation several times, in the end there was still no hope of becoming an immortal."
In the ancient palace, Duan De slowly told the secrets about the Tribulation Heavenly Lord and the Ming Lord, and the only listener was naturally Zhou Luo.
He knew in his heart that this was not Duan De's recovery of his past life memory, but a reasonable inference he made based on some clues.
Duan De raised his head with deep eyes:
"In the end, we all reached the same goal through different paths. Ming Zun decided to continue the path left by the Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Lord and determined the method of becoming an immortal in the ninth generation."
"Let the soul and the physical body die, and give birth to the seal of reincarnation. When the physical body in the future is channeled, it will be broken and re-established, and the practice will start from the beginning, and the cycle will start again."
"In the end, when all nine reincarnation seals are gathered, the nine generations will be united into one, and the mortal world will become an immortal!"
After the words fell, Duan De took the initiative to release the restrictions on his body, allowing the two reincarnation seals hidden inside to emerge.
Those were two sacred white haloes, which seemed to contain endless mysteries.
Although he already knew the general idea, Zhou Luo still sighed with emotion after hearing what Duan De said:
"The Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Lord and the Ming Lord are truly extraordinary!"
Hearing this, Duan De couldn't help but show a strange look on his face. He pondered for a moment before speaking:
"Taoist, I have something to ask the Immortal Emperor to clarify."
Zhou Luo didn't think much and just nodded.
"We have only one physical body, but what awakens in each life is a new soul, each of which is an independent entity."
"Even if I become an immortal in the last nine reincarnations, will it be every 'me' that has been accomplished by then, or is it just a wedding dress for the last person?"
To Zhou Luo's expectation, Duan De actually asked such a question.
He glanced at Duan De without any trace, and saw that the latter had a solemn expression, obviously he had asked this question a long time ago.
Shaking his head, Zhou Luo answered truthfully:
"I don't know either."
Even though he knew the future, he still couldn't be sure whether the one who finally became an immortal was another being with the memory of nine lifetimes, or whether they themselves merged into one.
Duan De was not surprised when he heard Zhou Luo's answer. After all, in the final analysis, the Immortal Emperor is just like him, he is just a person fighting for survival in the world of mortals.
Seeing that Duan De seemed quite depressed, Zhou Luo's eyes showed a strange light, and he said in a mysterious tone:
"but--"
"If the Emperor of Hades trusts me and is willing to let me explore the seal of reincarnation with my secret magic, I might be able to solve your doubts."
"This is true!"
Duan De's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.
"At least 50% sure." Zhou Luo said solemnly.
In fact, he was inseparable in his heart, but he was also worried that if he said too much, he would be disappointed.
Hearing this, Duan De grinned from ear to ear. He swept away the previous gloom and said with a red face:
"Fifty percent, five percent is pretty good."
"If I can really discern the way forward, even if it is impossible, I will give it a try, Taoist!"
"Immortal Emperor, just do whatever you want!"
Duan De was unexpectedly free and straightforward, and simply let the two reincarnation seals briefly leave his body and float in front of Zhou Luo's eyes.
Feeling that aura up close, even Zhou Luo was deeply touched.
Naturally, he was not sloppy, so he immediately sat cross-legged in the void and slowly closed his eyes.
I saw Zhou Luo's body glowing, and the five secret realms bloomed with fairy light.
Especially from his Taoist palace, there was a roar like the thunder of the gods above the nine heavens.
There were even scriptures all over the sky, runes branded in the void, and even the ethereal breath of reincarnation, which made Duan De, who was expert in this art, stand on his head.
