Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly frowned, looked at Emperor Xuanhuang in confusion and said, "Since you have this divine object, why didn't you use it to kill the Eight Emperors before?"
In his opinion, with such ancient artifacts as the Book of Life and Death, the Emperor could kill the eight Demon Emperors with one blow.
"Although I, at the expense of an immortal body, brought this netherworld life and death into the upper realm of the pure world when I descended to the mortal world, I cannot use this treasure in the upper realm of the pure world."
As Emperor Xuanhuang spoke, he picked up the carving knife and carved a name on the book of life and death, but the name was erased immediately.
"Why?"
Xu Taiping was very surprised when he saw this scene.
"When the Nether Book of Life and Death is in the upper realm, it cannot control life and death in the upper realm. When it is in the lower realm, it cannot control life and death in the upper realm."
"And when it is in the upper realm, it can only be controlled by people in the upper realm. When it is in the lower realm, it can also only be controlled by people in the lower realm."
Emperor Xuanhuang put away his carving knife and explained to Xu Taiping very seriously.
"I see."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt at ease.
"So, Great Emperor, do you want me to carve the names of the eight emperors in this book of life and death?"
He confirmed to Emperor Xuanhuang.
"That's right." Emperor Xuanhuang smiled and nodded.
After speaking, he gently threw the carving knife in his hand towards Xu Taiping, and then gently pushed the book of life and death made of bamboo slips forward, letting it slowly fall to Xu Taiping.
"Great Emperor, since you can kill the Eight Emperors so easily, why did you let me make a choice before?"
Xu Taiping did not pick up the carving knife and the Book of Life and Death, but continued to ask Emperor Xuanhuang.
"As long as you are not the Lord of the Netherworld, when you control this Book of Life and Death to seduce souls and kill people, you will have to pay a huge price to trade with the Book of Life and Death."
Emperor Xuanhuang said in a serious tone.
"What price?"
"The price can be your body, hair, and skin, your emotions, or your luck. But the specific price depends on the person you want to kill."
Emperor Xuanhuang replied.
"Can the luck I gained from the Golden Scale List be used to trade with this Book of Life and Death?"
Hearing this, Xu Taiping's eyes lit up and he asked again immediately.
In his opinion, the most valuable thing on his body is the luck given by the Golden Scale List.
"Of course." Emperor Xuanhuang nodded, "But whether luck can be used to kill those eight people, even I cannot say for sure."
"As long as it can be used for trading." Xu Taiping shook his head.
After confirming that the luck on the Golden Scale List could be used to trade with the Book of Life and Death, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Little guy, the luck of the Golden Scale Ranking, especially the luck you get as the leader of the Golden Scale, is enough to last until the day you ascend to heaven. Are you really willing to exchange for such a precious thing?"
Emperor Xuanhuang was slightly surprised to see Xu Taiping being so open-minded.
"Emperor Youyun once said that luck is earned." Xu Taiping shook his head vigorously, "As long as I still have my fists, I will definitely earn the luck needed to ascend to the sky."
"No regrets?"
Emperor Xuanhuang suddenly squatted down with his tall figure, as if an elder looked at a child, and made peace with Xu Taiping.
"No regrets!"
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.
In fact, in Xu Taiping's view, if he could use this to break Xuanhuangtian's situation, he would have no regrets even if he could never earn so much luck in the future.
"well……"
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanhuang suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Why are you sighing, Great Emperor?"
Xu Taiping asked Emperor Xuanhuang in confusion.
"I feel a little regretful?"
"regret?"
"If you had even the slightest hesitation in your answer just now, I would not hesitate to force you to carve the names of those eight bugs in the book of life and death. But now, I feel a little regretful."
Emperor Xuanhuang nodded slightly.
"Is it possible that if you want to carve the name of the Eight Emperors in this book of life and death, in addition to using your luck to make a deal with the book of life and death, you also have to pay other prices?"
Xu Taiping immediately noticed that there was something in Emperor Xuanhuang's words, so he guessed and asked.
"You are very smart."
Emperor Xuanhuang nodded, and then continued to explain to Xu Taiping:
"In ancient times, after the last Netherland continent in the hands of the Western Buddhist Kingdom was shattered by Jiuyuan, there was no Netherworld anymore in the world."
"Therefore, the souls of people who have been wiped out from the Book of Life and Death from then on, especially some powerful monks or monsters, will be sealed in the person whose name is engraved."
"From then on, the person whose name is engraved will be incarnated, plagued by misfortune, and become neither human nor ghost, nor demon nor demon, until all the sealed souls are refined."
"In this process, the body and mind will suffer endless pain like grinding on a millstone day and night, forever."
"Moreover, the stronger and more souls are sealed, the deeper and longer this pain will be."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Emperor Xuanhuang looked out the window and continued:
"In addition, if the soul you sealed is the Eight Emperors and their demons, from the moment you seal them, they will be endlessly hunted by Jiuyuan, and there will never be peace."
When he said this, Emperor Xuanhuang looked at Xu Taiping again, and then asked Xu Taiping again very solemnly:
"Even so, are you still willing?"
Xu Taiping was stunned and murmured to himself:
"The body is incarnate, and is plagued by misfortune. There is no one, no ghost, no demon, no demon..."
No matter how much he wanted to help Xuanhuangtian, he hesitated for a moment at such a terrible price.
"Little guy, if you don't want to, I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to help me bring a few words to Xuanhuangtian..."
"Great Emperor, please wait!"
Before Emperor Xuanhuang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Taiping.
"Great Emperor, please allow me to think about it for a moment, and then I will make a decision after I understand my intention!"
Xu Taiping solemnly requested Emperor Xuanhuang.
He wanted to think carefully before making a decision and think about whether he was really willing or unwilling to pay such a price to save Xuanhuangtian.
