In a secret stronghold of the "Qing Ming" organization thousands of miles away, Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcism department, had been fasting for three days. He took a shower and changed clothes under the service of his servants. He changed out of the old crane cloak and put on a new one. A gorgeous brocade robe. The long hair that had always been disheveled was now tied high on the back of her head, and she wore a small black jade crown.
Compared with the past, it is a little less willful and free-spirited, and a little more solemn.
"Go and clean up, we're going to leave soon." Luo Chuan turned his head and ordered Shangguan Jin beside him.
"Master Chief, where are we going?" Shangguan Jin asked with some confusion.
"Go and welcome the emperor back." Luo Chuan took a deep breath. His eyes were full of complex emotions, as if they had penetrated thousands of years and spanned thousands of miles.
Emperor?
Upon hearing this word, Shangguan Jin frowned slightly.
A vague figure appeared in her mind. She felt that she had a very special relationship with this man. But even if she racked her brains, she couldn't remember who this person was or what he looked like.
There was a feeling of loss that lingered in her heart.
…………
Gu Xu is still on the top of Kunlun Mountain silently absorbing the memories of his "past life".
He saw himself lingering in the wild world as a remnant soul. He tried his best to hide his traces and prevent Taishang Haotian from knowing the fact that he was still alive.
He saw that in order to practice through tribulations and gain enlightenment, he sent his soul to different worlds, and the earth was one of them.
He saw that he had carefully formulated a plan for reincarnation - he made Luo Chuan his protector to protect him all the way; he hid a ray of obsession in the sea of consciousness in advance to guide himself after reincarnation. , to avoid taking the wrong path; with the assistance of Luo Chuan, he formed the "Qing Ming" organization as an assistance after his reincarnation...
"The emperor really has a plan!"
Vaguely, he heard a voice in his head.
He knew that the white-haired boy was teasing him again.
Gu Xu didn't want to argue with him now.
His thoughts sank into the world of consciousness, and he saw the tall and majestic Fengdu Gate standing majestically at the end of the road in the dark and cold underworld.
When that majestic power poured into the body, the resistance on the road to the netherworld no longer existed.
He spread his legs and ran towards Fengdu Gate at a brisk pace.
The gate of Fengdu towers into the clouds.
The thick black iron door was mottled with copper nails and carved with strange and complicated runes, exuding a chilling aura.
There are two huge stone pillars standing next to the gate, with reliefs of ghosts and resentful souls on them. The details on them are lifelike, as if they are coming out of the stone.
According to the practice books, if you want to step into this door and be promoted to the sixth realm, you must knock on the door with "Tao".
If the "Tao" understood is recognized by Fengdu's rules, the door of Fengdu will open on its own.
Gu Xu stopped in front of the black door.
"What is my way?" he asked silently to himself.
For other monks, it is extremely difficult to have a "Tao" that can knock on the Fengdu Gate.
But Gu Xu has too many choices.
The way of flames, the way of talismans, the way of time and space...
There is also the way of cause and effect, the way of destiny, and the way of soul that have just been obtained from the memory of "past life"...
Any path would be enough for him to step into Fengdu City effortlessly.
"I am reincarnated and practicing again. Of course it is much easier than practicing for the first time." This thought came to his mind inadvertently.
The memory of his "past life" told him that the "Tao" knocking on the door of Fengdu was crucial to his future practice and related to how far he could go in the pursuit of power.
Gu Xu thought for a long time and slowly stretched out his right hand.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he took his hand back.
The grudges he had with Taishang Haotian in his "past life", the terrifying vision of iron nets covering the ground and burning fire he saw in Chiyangzi Cemetery, and the golden thunderbolt cast by Emperor Tianxing all appeared in his mind again. within sight.
"Since I am destined to step into Guixu and take charge of the world," Gu Xu said softly, "then my promotion cannot be defined by anyone, nor does it need anyone's approval, not even by the Fengdu rules. .”
A loud noise shook the Netherworld.
Gu Xu kicked open the gate of Fengdu.
At this moment, he clearly understood the "Tao" he had chosen——
"Rebellion" and "subversion".
…………
"Bah bang bang!"
A burst of sparse applause came from inside the door.
"Well done! Finally you have a bit of the demeanor of your previous life!"
Gu Xu followed the sound and saw the white-haired boy nailed to the wall in the doorway.
At this time, the white-haired boy only had a nail on his right shoulder.
His body also became more and more transparent, as if the smoke would dissipate at any time.
Gu Xu didn't speak.
He stared at the spike on the white-haired boy's right shoulder for a long time, his eyes solemn and thoughtful.
"What's wrong? Are you curious about what your last authority is?" Noticing Gu Xu's eyes, the white-haired boy smiled and said, "Then I won't tell you anything.
"This last authority is called 'control'. It can control the stars above and the hearts of the people below. With it, the stars in the sky will move according to your will, and the people in front of you will be devoted to you and obey you unconditionally. All your commands.
"This is the 'Tao' you used to push open the gate of Fengdu for the first time in your previous life. It is also your biggest reliance on being able to dominate the upper world."
"To rule..." Gu Xu muttered this word silently in his mind.
He thought of the loyal Star Lords in his "previous life", of Luo Chuan who worked hard to plan his reincarnation, and of Chu Wuzong Xiong Tianxi who was willing to give his life just to break the ladder to the sky in Kunlun...
Emperor Ziwei has these loyal subordinates. Is it because of his personal charm or because of the "ruling" power he holds?
"After you pull out this nail, will I never see you again?" After a short silence, Gu Xu asked the white-haired boy.
"Yes," the white-haired boy nodded, "I will completely integrate with you, and you will fully awaken the power and memory of your previous life and become the real Emperor Ziwei."
Gu Xu took a step forward, but still hesitated.
"Stop dilly-dallying," the white-haired boy urged, "Don't you want to deal with Emperor Tianxing and break the prison of the wilderness? Don't you want to go to the upper realm and seek revenge from Supreme Haotian? You don't want to be A strong man in the realm of Guixu, would you like to see the scenery at the peak of power? Don’t you want to break the barriers of the world and go to a different world?"
Gu Xu took a deep breath and reached out to hold the spike on the white-haired boy's shoulder.
The moment the spike was about to leave the white-haired boy's body, their eyes collided.
The indigo blue pupils of the white-haired boy seemed to have become a vortex of starlight, making Gu Xu's thoughts sink into it and find it difficult to extricate himself.
"Authority: Dominance."
This word suddenly popped into Gu Xu's mind.
He knew that he had fallen into the opponent's trick.
But at this moment, he couldn't move and lost the ability to resist.
The white-haired boy stretched out his left hand, held his wrist with a smile, and together they slowly pulled out the spike on his shoulder.
"Do you really believe everything I said to you?"
