"Grandpa." However, he was not confused for long before he shook his head vigorously, looked at his grandpa seriously with his clear eyes and said:
"If you can't go where you want to go, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, or save the people you want to save, what's the difference between pigs and sheep raised in a pen?"
As he spoke, he shook his head vigorously, hugged his grandfather tightly and said with a trace of panic in his eyes:
"Grandpa, I don't want to be that kind of person!"
"I don't want Grandpa to do anything while you are suffering."
Recalling this, the tears in Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly flowed out of Xu Taiping's eyes as if they were uncontrollable.
"When I was a child, I always knew that I wanted to be a person as comfortable as that bird. Now that I have grown so many years and have strength that I didn't even dare to think about at that time, I have become like a coward. I don’t even dare to look directly at my own heart.”
Xu Taiping stood up slowly while muttering to himself.
Yes, what he had in mind from the beginning was to save people.
It's just that because of those many worries, he became timid and did not dare to look directly at his true heart.
"boom!"
As soon as he thought of this, a wave of soul that only a supremely powerful person like Emperor Xuanhuang could sense suddenly spread from Xu Taiping.
"What's going on? Not only did this kid not lose his moral integrity because of this, but he actually became more pure!"
Emperor Xuanhuang was very surprised.
Immediately, he stood up straight again and asked with curious eyes:
"Xu Taiping, have you made up your mind?"
"Report back to the Great Emperor, I have thought about it!"
Xu Taiping nodded vigorously, with no trace of confusion in his eyes.
"I am not being alarmist. Even if you can use the Book of Life and Death to seal the Eighth Emperor and his monsters this time, the price you will have to bear in the future will most likely make you unable to survive or die, and the road to immortality will be cut off from now on."
Emperor Xuanhuang reminded Xu Taiping again.
The successive changes that occurred in Xu Taiping made him suddenly cherish his talents, and even had the illusion that "it is not worth sacrificing Xu Taiping in exchange for the peace of Xuanhuang Tian".
That's why he thought about confirming with Xu Taiping again.
"Junior, you have thought carefully!"
Xu Taiping nodded firmly again.
This answer made Emperor Xuanhuang shaken again and said secretly:
"A junior who has not yet reached the Transformation Realm actually has a firmer Taoist heart than a Transformation Realm monk. He shouldn't be allowed to help Xuanhuang Heaven resolve calamities!"
Immediately, he took a deep breath, and then asked Xu Taiping in a deep voice:
"Little guy, can you tell me why you can make up your mind?"
Although he didn’t know why Emperor Xuanhuang was still asking questions, Xu Taiping finally decided to tell the truth in the face of the frightening power emanating from Emperor Xuanhuang:
"Reporting to Emperor Xuanhuang, I just want to make one thing clear. That is, I really want to help my friends in Xuanhuangtian and the people of Xuanhuangtian who live under the shadow of Jiuyuan."
"You just want to help, but you can pay such a high price for it?"
Xu Taiping's answer made Emperor Xuanhuang even more curious.
"Um."
Xu Taiping nodded, and then explained seriously to Emperor Xuanhuang:
"If you don't even have this bit of freedom, what's the point of me cultivating immortality? Become a pig, live longer, and live in a bigger cage than a pig or sheep?"
"Today's events have made me think clearly. As a junior, you may not be able to live forever if you practice cultivation, but you must never lose the word freedom."
"boom!"
Upon hearing these words, the aura fluctuations around Emperor Xuanhuang's body that had been restrained suddenly surged out uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, I heard him laugh heartily and said:
"What a good person, not for immortality, but for freedom!"
When he said this, he suddenly held up the Book of Life and Death and the carving knife with both hands and handed them to Xu Taiping. Then he looked at Xu Taiping with great solemnity and said:
"Fellow Taoist Taiping, from now on, the life and death of all monsters in this mysterious world will be decided by you."
"Today you dare to save the people of my Xuanhuang Heaven from fire and water for the sake of freedom. After that, I, Xuanhuang, will dare to bet on this true spirit body to give you a good fortune, fellow Taoist!"
Hearing this, Xu Taiping took the book of life and death and the carving knife from Emperor Xuanhuang's hands with firm eyes, then nodded vigorously, grinned and said:
"Since you said so, Emperor Xuanhuang, after the matter is completed, this junior will definitely come to ask for it from you!"
In Xu Taiping's view, if he could really help Xuanhuangtian survive this calamity, he would still be able to withstand it no matter how severe the fate given by Emperor Xuanhuang was.
"good!"
Hearing this, Emperor Xuanhuang first grinned, then waved his sleeves and shouted towards the outside of the tower: "From now on, the life and death of you and other monsters will be decided by Qingxuan Sect Xu Taiping!"
And with the wave of his sleeve, the people in front of the spiritual mirror who could only see the outside of Xuanhuang Tower finally saw the situation inside the thirteenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower.
…
"Is this Emperor Xuanhuang?"
"As expected of a true spirit, even the Haotian Mirror can't see its true form."
In Linyuan Hall, when the situation on the thirteenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower appeared in the shadow in front of them, even the people in Linyuan Hall couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
"Wait a minute, the black scroll of letters and the carving knife in Xu Taiping's hand, why do I feel familiar?"
At this moment, Wuji Immortal's eyes were suddenly attracted by the black letter and carving knife in Xu Taiping's hand.
As he spoke, he involuntarily looked at Fairy Lingyue opposite.
In his opinion, Fairy Lingyue, who knew Xu Taiping, must recognize this object.
However, what surprised Wuji Immortal and the rest of the hall except the chief minister was that a very rare look of horror appeared on Fairy Lingyue's face.
Immediately before anyone could ask questions, Fairy Lingyue pointed at the black slip in Xu Taiping's hand and exclaimed in a trembling voice:
"How could such evil things as the Book of Life and Death in the Netherworld be in Taiping's hands?!"
