Chapter 93
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi, and Sun Bu'er couldn't help but look at each other, shocked, as if they were being struck by infinite thunder.
They didn't expect there to be so many Earthly Immortals.
A mere Western Xia actually had five Earthly Immortals?!
Of course, if converted to Western Xia's population of over thirty million, but only five Earthly Immortals... even if there were hidden Earthly Immortals, it would be absolutely impossible to exceed ten.
Over thirty million people, no more than ten Earthly Immortals, one Earthly Immortal for every three million... it seems to make sense.
"Correct! The Earthly Immortal foundation of the Great Song is only more than that of Western Xia, not less!"
"It's just that the Golden Cabinet Alliance back then..."
Speaking of this, Huang Shang frowned and didn't continue, but changed the subject, "Of course, the reason why Western Xia's one ancestor and two ancestors didn't die, but instead proved themselves as Earthly Immortals, besides having national destiny, also has to do with the Great Wizard..."
Golden Cabinet Alliance?!
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang's heart moved, and he thought of the "Candle Shadow and Axe Sound," revealing a thoughtful expression, but he didn't say much.
Whether it was the Golden Cabinet Alliance or the Candle Shadow and Axe Sound, they were taboos of the Song State.
"Western Xia Great Wizard Siji, it is said that he can communicate with ghosts and gods, possesses ghost and god techniques, and by sacrificing national destiny and his own luck to the legendary ghosts and gods, he can prove himself as an Earthly Immortal!"
"And in order not to affect Western Xia because of the sacrifice of national destiny, every Western Xia King would choose to abdicate after sacrificing national destiny and his own luck!"
Huang Shang continued.
At this time, hearing Huang Shang's narrative, everyone finally understood that Western Xia actually had such a method of sacrificing national destiny and one's own luck to prove oneself as an Earthly Immortal.
If even Western Xia had it, wouldn't that mean other countries had it too?!
"Uncle, Dharma Body realm... what is that?!"
Just then, Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi asked a question.
"You haven't proven yourself as an Earthly Immortal, so logically, I shouldn't tell you now!"
Huang Shang glanced at Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi and then looked at Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, "However, Wang Wang Chongyang has already proven himself as an Earthly Immortal... so be it!"
"After proving yourself as an Earthly Immortal, there are the Dharma Body realm, Supernatural Power realm, Cave Heaven realm, and Shattering the Void!"
"Dharma Body realm: The Dharma image and the physical body merge into one, condensing a supreme Dharma body, giving birth to Dharma power!"
"Supernatural Power realm: Dharma power and martial arts artistic conception merge, the Dharma body and Dharma domain order merge, condensing supernatural power seeds, giving birth to supreme supernatural powers!"
"Cave Heaven realm: The Dharma domain is independent of the void, forming a whole, which is a Cave Heaven!"
"Shattering the Void: Breaking the rules of this heaven and earth, you can ascend outside the heaven and earth, which is Shattering the Void!"
"These are the four realms of Earthly Immortals!"
Huang Shang looked at Wang Wang Wang Chongyang, "If nothing goes wrong, your little disciple should have killed the five Earthly Immortals of Western Xia, and his combat strength has at least reached the Dharma Body realm!"
"Sunflower Ancestor, although he has entered the Earthly Immortal realm for many years, he has been slow to condense a Dharma Body!"
"Li Li Qiushui, one of the three elders of Xiaoyao, passed the heaven and earth tribulation and is an Earthly Immortal, but she should be like the Sunflower Ancestor, having not condensed a Dharma body, given birth to Dharma power, and not achieved the Dharma Body realm!"
"Western Xia's one ancestor and two ancestors, sacrificing national destiny and their own luck, communicating with ghosts and gods, and proving themselves as Earthly Immortals, are even weaker than Earthly Immortals like the Sunflower Ancestor and Li Li Qiushui! But the three of them working together, plus the weirdness of ghost and god techniques, are stronger than Li Li Qiushui!"
"And Western Xia Great Wizard Siji... this is an Earthly Immortal who has truly condensed a Dharma Body realm, and can communicate with ghosts and gods and use supernatural powers!"
"Even if I were to kill him, it would take quite some effort!"
"Your little disciple... how on earth did he do it?!"
Huang Shang was curious, shocked, and felt an indescribable sense of shock.
A Heaven-Man, who has not yet proven himself as an Earthly Immortal, can kill a powerhouse in the Dharma Body realm?!
Is there any reason left in this world?!
Is there any law left in this world?!
Huang Shang indicated he did not understand.
"Then what about the Great Song?!"
"Logically speaking, Western Xia has five Earthly Immortals, and the Great Song's foundation is only stronger than Western Xia's, not weaker!"
"Then why, after Li Li Zhangsheng killed the Song Emperor Zhao Ji, did only one Sunflower Ancestor appear?!"
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang asked suddenly, feeling a bit confused.
Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Sect, Wang Wang Chongyang Palace.
"Yes! Since the Great Song's foundation is far beyond Western Xia's, why did only one Sunflower Ancestor appear when the Song Emperor Zhao Ji died?!"
"This matter... I also want to know!"
"I thought Lin Lin Lingsu of the Golden Gate Feather Guest, Shenxiao Mansion, would take action! But he didn't!"
"I thought Master Master Konghai, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, would take action! But he didn't either!"
"I thought... but they didn't! There was only one Sunflower Ancestor!"
Huang Shang shook his head, his tone full of uncertainty.
"Then what about the Great Song's Song Song Taizu, Taizong, and the emperors of all generations?!"
Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi asked.
After all, whether it was Lin Lin Lingsu or Master Master Konghai, they were outsiders; if outsiders didn't take action, then why didn't the emperors of the Song State take action either?!
Isn't it said that after sacrificing national destiny and one's own luck, one can prove oneself as an Earthly Immortal?!
The Great Song has been passed down to this day, through seven emperors: Song Song Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, Ren Sect, Yingzong, Shenzong, and Zhezong!
According to Huang Shang's statement, not counting others, just the Zhao royal family of the Song State should have at least seven Earthly Immortals!
"Song Song Taizu and Taizong disappeared! Zhenzong was incompetent in governing the country, and his own luck was insufficient. After sacrificing national destiny and his own luck, he didn't even reach the Heaven-Man realm! It's simply a joke to the world!"
"Yingzong died young... calculated this way, the Great Song actually only has three Earthly Immortals: Ren Sect, Shenzong, and Zhezong!"
"As for why they didn't appear?!"
"I guess it should be that the Sunflower Ancestor had already appeared, and they thought the Sunflower Ancestor could solve everything and kill a small Heaven-Man, but they didn't expect the Sunflower Ancestor to actually... die?!"
"Even the Sunflower Ancestor was beaten to death, so those who proved themselves as Earthly Immortals by sacrificing national destiny were even less of a match, so... they didn't appear!"
"After all, those who prove themselves as Earthly Immortals by sacrificing national destiny have combat strength far inferior to those who prove themselves as Earthly Immortals on their own!"
Huang Shang obviously had his own thoughts on such questions, "As for the Song Emperor Zhao Ji, twelve years ago he sacrificed national destiny and his own luck, wanting to prove himself as an Earthly Immortal, but was sabotaged by the Jin State, Liao State, and Western Xia, eventually leading to a backlash. Not only did he fail to prove himself as an Earthly Immortal, but his own true qi was also scattered, and he could no longer cultivate!"
"Logically speaking, the best way for the Song Emperor Zhao Ji was to choose to abdicate!"
"But just then, Lin Lin Lingsu met the Song Emperor Zhao Ji and said a sentence: Since the Song Emperor cannot cultivate because of the backlash of national destiny and luck, can't he also use national destiny to allow the Song Emperor to cultivate again?!"
"As soon as these words were spoken, the Song Emperor Zhao Ji felt it made sense, so he occupied the throne and was unwilling to abdicate!"
"Although the three royal ancestors, Ren Sect, Shenzong, and Zhezong, could force Zhao Ji to abdicate, doing so would inevitably cause national instability and even lead to the division of the Great Song."
"The three royal ancestors had no choice but to choose to compromise and set a fifteen-year period."
"But as time passed, the fifteen-year period drew closer, and the Song Emperor Zhao Ji became more and more urgent, so he squandered the Song Dynasty's national destiny and constantly let Lin Lin Lingsu research... who would have thought that before the reason for the Song Emperor Zhao Ji's inability to cultivate was found, Lin Lin Lingsu suddenly passed the heaven and earth tribulation and proved himself as an Earthly Immortal!"
"As a result, the Song Emperor Zhao Ji felt even more that Lin Lin Lingsu could find a way to solve the backlash of national destiny and allow himself to cultivate again, and he squandered national destiny even more unscrupulously."
"The three royal ancestors couldn't bear it anymore, broke out of seclusion, and warned the Song Emperor Zhao Ji; but the Song Emperor Zhao Ji still went his own way, and with the support of the two Earthly Immortals, the Sunflower Ancestor and Lin Lin Lingsu, the three royal ancestors had no way."
"Perhaps... this is also one of the reasons why the three royal ancestors didn't take action, after all, they wished the Song Emperor Zhao Ji would die so he would give up the throne!"
"As for why Lin Lin Lingsu didn't take action, it's impossible to guess..."
Huang Shang spoke slowly, telling the story of the Song Emperor Zhao Ji roughly.
"So that's it! There is such a contradiction within the Zhao Song royal family..."
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang and Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi were suddenly enlightened. The Zhao Song foundation is very strong, but the royal family cannot occupy the leading position and cannot unite the power of the Zhao Song Earthly Immortals into one.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, seemingly thinking about the reason why Lin Lin Lingsu didn't take action.
"Forget it! If we can't think of it, then forget it."
Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi exhaled gently. Regardless of what Lin Lin Lingsu was thinking, it didn't have much to do with him.
His current thought was to return to Peach Blossom Island.
"Since they went to Peach Blossom Island, I am also preparing to return to Peach Blossom Island."
Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi said this, feeling a bit impatient.
"Agreed!"
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang and Huang Shang nodded, having no objections.
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang wanted to bring his little disciple Li Li Li Zhangsheng back to the Quanzhen Sect and let him cultivate his character well and stop causing trouble.
And Huang Shang was very curious about Li Li Li Zhangsheng, and even more curious about how he would treat Feng Heng.
You must know that after he proved himself as an Earthly Immortal back then, he also went to Peach Blossom Island and found that Feng Heng's heart and vital energy were exhausted, and her flame of life was extinguished... simply put, her lifespan was exhausted.
Wang Wang Wang Chongyang still left Sun Bu'er to hold the fort at the Quanzhen Sect, while he himself, along with Huang Shang and Huang Huang Huang Yaoshi, headed to Peach Blossom Island.
