Chapter 778

"Young friend, stay!"

Buddha Master Zeng stood up suddenly, called out to Xu Que, and said in surprise: "How can you escape from the Xuanzhen Continent by leaving like this?"

Xu Que paused, turned around and smiled: "Buddha Master, who said I'm going to escape? I'm just going back to cultivate in closed-door cultivation for a while. In two or three years, I will return personally to take the Holy Emperor's dog life!"

Buddha Master Zeng was speechless.

Although he admitted that Xu Que was very powerful, he wasn't powerful enough to return and kill the Holy Emperor after two or three years of closed-door cultivation. Who would believe such an absurd thing?

However, he didn't care about this at this moment, but asked: "Young friend, even if you want to cultivate in closed-door, do you think there is any place in the Xuanzhen Continent where you can stay?"

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "You took away the Dao-Attaining Tree, the Holy Emperor will definitely be angered, but he won't be in a hurry to kill you. Based on my understanding of him, he will have great confidence to find you slowly and then take back the Dao-Attaining Tree! But you even took away his Imperial Palace, which is equivalent to letting the whole world know that you humiliated him. He will inevitably mobilize all his power to let the whole world hunt you down!"

"What's the big deal? At worst, I'll leave the Xuanzhen Continent!" Xu Que shrugged and smiled: "Buddha Master, let me tell you one thing, actually... I am from the Four Great Continents!"

"What?" Buddha Master Zeng was moved, incredulous: "You are from the Four Great Continents? This... how is this possible? Haven't the Four Great Continents been shackled for thousands of years? The original shackles were about to break, but they were strengthened again some time ago. How did you get over here?"

"It's the Long Life Hall!" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan said softly, and then waved her slender hand, and a small bronze ancient hall suddenly appeared in her palm.

When they returned from the Four Great Continents, this kind of Long Life Hall disappeared with them, directly entering Jiang Hongyan's body, like a life-bound immortal artifact, controlled by her!

"After I was killed back then, I was sent to the Four Great Continents by this hall. I was born and grew up on that land until the Void Refining Stage, when I unlocked the shackles from this hall and obtained the inheritance and everything from my previous life!" Jiang Hongyan said indifferently, her expression a bit complex, as if she was thinking of the killing in her previous life!

"So that's it!" Seeing the Long Life Hall, the Buddha Master's eyelids jumped slightly, and he nodded, "If this hall brought you back, then it's not surprising!"

"Yo, Buddha Master, so you also know the origin of this Long Life Hall?" Xu Que became interested and asked with a smile.

Buddha Master Zeng nodded, but soon shook his head and said solemnly: "To be precise, I only know half of the origin of the Long Life Hall, or even less than half. This matter should start from the Road to Immortal Ascension..."

In the Buddha Tower, the Buddha Master began to tell the origin of this Long Life Hall.

It was about two thousand years ago, when Buddha Master Zeng could only be considered a big monk, and the current Holy Emperor was just one of the princes of the Tongtian Kingdom!

That year, the Road to Immortal Ascension opened, and eighteen entrances appeared on the Xuanzhen Continent.

Human race, demon race, beast race, and heavenly beast race, no matter which group, all rushed into the Road to Immortal Ascension!

Legend has it that if you walk to the end of the Road to Immortal Ascension, you can find the key to becoming an immortal!

The young Buddha Master and the Holy Emperor and all the heavenly prides naturally entered it.

After experiencing countless dangers, they actually succeeded in walking to the end of the Road to Immortal Ascension, but were blocked by a stone wall!

No matter what methods they used, they couldn't break the stone wall. Later, they learned that the wall could swallow all spiritual power, and Dharma techniques had no effect on it. Only brute force could break it!

But among the few who could walk to the end at that time, there were no body-refining cultivators, so they chose to retreat, intending to go back to find body-refining cultivators and then come back to break the stone wall!

However, when they went back, the stone wall disappeared!

"Disappeared?" Xu Que was stunned when he heard this. Isn't this an upgraded version of the ghost hitting the wall? It just appeared and then disappeared!

"Correct, the road was still that road, but the stone wall disappeared, and in its place was a huge white jade palace!"

The Buddha Master nodded, his gaze falling on Xu Que with deep meaning, and smiled: "Young friend, the Imperial Palace you took away is the white jade palace we saw in the Road to Immortal Ascension back then!"

"Damn! No wonder..." Xu Que was stunned. No wonder an Imperial Palace could become an immortal artifact; it turned out to have such a big background, coming from a road that could lead to immortality!

And at this moment, the Buddha Master's gaze fell on Jiang Hongyan, and he smiled: "Back then, our group returned to the old road, and the Holy Emperor brought hundreds of body-refining cultivators, so the white jade palace was directly moved out! But under the white jade palace, we found another ancient hall, which is this Long Life Hall in your hand, and there was a stone coffin in the Long Life Hall, with a woman lying inside!"

"What?" Xu Que was shocked and looked at Jiang Hongyan, because Jiang Hongyan had also lain in that Long Life Hall!

But Jiang Hongyan was full of confusion and didn't understand.

The Buddha Master didn't sell it short and directly told the truth: "That woman was your mother! Back then, both the Imperial Palace and the Long Life Hall were brought back by the Holy Emperor. Not long after, strange things happened in the palace. The previous Emperor and the other princes died tragically one after another, and only the Holy Emperor survived alone and ascended the throne as Emperor. On the day of his ascension, your mother woke up from the stone coffin, forgot everything, and the Holy Emperor made her his Empress!"

Speaking of this, the room was already quiet.

Xu Que was a bit dumbfounded, and Jiang Hongyan was also full of loss, as if she had never heard of this past, and didn't know that her own mother had such a mysterious origin!

After a long time, she looked at the Buddha Master and asked: "Why did she die after I was born?"

"It seems you don't know anything!" The Buddha Master smiled, shook his head and said: "It's no wonder, with Old Man Ji's personality, it's impossible for him to tell you these things. Your mother didn't die, but left without saying goodbye and went to the Road to Immortal Ascension, and has had no news since then. Old Man Ji was afraid of losing face, so he announced to the outside world that she had passed away!

In fact, the only ones who know these truths are us old guys. Everyone knows each other's ugly secrets, but they are not willing to expose each other!"

Buddha Master Zeng told these past events as if he were talking about someone else's scandalous gossip, with a calm face.

Jiang Hongyan was moved. She heard a truth: her mother in her previous life didn't die, but disappeared on the Road to Immortal Ascension!

"Hongyan, if you want to find her, I will accompany you!" Xu Que saw Jiang Hongyan's expression and held her hand gently.

Jiang Hongyan shook her head: "The past life has actually not much to do with me. Even in my previous life, except for when I was born, I had never seen her once, it's just that some memories are still lingering! She stepped onto the Road to Immortal Ascension alone, which means she has already let go of everything, so there is no meaning for me to find her, and it won't change anything!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongyan looked at Xu Que and smiled slightly: "She has her own path to walk, and I have my own path I want to walk. It is enough to have you on the road!"

Xu Que smiled immediately, nodded and said: "Good, listen to you, then we won't go to the Road to Immortal Ascension to find her, let's go back to the Four Great Continents first!"

"No!" Suddenly, Buddha Master Zeng interrupted, "Young friend, this time I'm afraid you really have to go to the Road to Immortal Ascension!"
