Chapter 47 The Immortal Emperor of Three Tribulations! Nanming Emperor Zun

"Senior Chen Guang." Elder Baohu reminded rudely, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you haven't produced the Chaos Spiritual Stone yet. When you borrowed money before, didn't you mortgage three ninth-grade spiritual veins?"

"If we go to auction, we can sell at least 1,300 Chaos Spiritual Stones. After paying back the loan, interest, and commission to the auction house, we will still have dozens of Chaos Spiritual Stones left."

Taoist Master Chen Guang's face turned dark, he couldn't help but slap the handle of the chair, and shouted angrily: "Bao Hu boy, how dare you!"

Elder Baohu was not frightened, and continued with a smile: "Guishen Palace's use of spiritual veins as collateral to borrow money is a contract signed in black and white, and it is evidenced by the seal of Guishen Palace. Now you still haven't It is reasonable and reasonable for our Shenbao Palace to auction off the collateral to withdraw the funds, and this lawsuit will make sense no matter where it goes."

Even though Chen Guang was at the peak of Taoism and at the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor, he could easily suppress his treasure gourd, but he was not embarrassed at all.

The business of Shenbao Palace is spread all over the Immortal Realm, how can he be an easy-going person who can be manipulated by others?

Taoist Master Chenguang was speechless for a moment.

His hand on the handle of the chair slowly tightened, the expression on his face became uncertain, and there was a hint of dejection in his eyes.

If Wuji Palace was still in its heyday, it wouldn't be a big deal whether it was three ninth-grade spiritual veins or a divine elixir of creation. But now, it is difficult for a penny to kill the heroic man.

When Wuji City fell, the ancestors of the shrine who retreated were in such a hurry that they only had time to withdraw more than seventy ninth-grade spiritual veins. After that, due to the loss of the Immortal Emperor's inheritance, the Wuji Palace declined rapidly. In just one hundred thousand years, the original more than seventy ninth-grade spiritual veins were sold and lost.

When it was passed to Taoist Master Chenguang, there were only thirty-seven ninth-grade spiritual veins left in the palace.

During the 80,000 years that Chen Guang was in charge of the Wuji Shrine, the entire shrine system became increasingly unable to make ends meet, and six ninth-grade spiritual veins were sold off to make up for the shortfall.

Are we going to lose another three pieces now?

During his tenure as Taoist Master Chenguang, he lost a total of nine ninth-grade spiritual veins, which is simply the most prodigal in history!

If not, your descendants will poke you in the back!

However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Taoist Master Chenguang forcibly suppressed the urge to beat Elder Baohu, and said in a low voice, "Let's do this. Elder Baohu will stay in my palace for a while, and let me think of a solution first."

"Forget it, then I will wait for you, senior, for three months." Seeing his appearance, Elder Baohu didn't push him anymore.

After all, Taoist Master Chenguang is a half-step Immortal Emperor at the peak of the Hunyuan Realm. He does not dare to push too hard. What if the other party is so angry that he does something irrational?

Elder Baohu stood up, bowed to Taoist Master Chenguang, and then left with his disciples.

Taoist Master Chenguang was left alone in the living room of the shrine, sighing and looking sad.

If the spiritual veins are not auctioned this time, will the holy pictures be sold? Selling Hunyuan Lingbao? Or even, want to sell Taoist books?

But those are the foundation of Wuji Palace. It is easy to sell them, but it is difficult to take them back.

Moreover, if the Wuji Palace wants to revive the mountains and rivers, what can it do without sufficient combat power? Without sufficient strength to support, how can we maintain our foundation?

No, we haven’t reached that stage yet, and we must not sell our foundation.

Although Taoist Master Chenguang had a headache, he still tried his best to start raising money.

It's a pity that Wuji Palace is short of money. It's a shortage from top to bottom! The shabby smell of poverty fills every corner. Many Taoist masters and Daluo Jinxian are living in poverty. In order to maintain their practice and inheritance, they have sold everything they can.

After all the effort, he just dug out hundreds of Chaos Spiritual Stones.

It's no wonder that if the entire Wuji Palace had not been poor for too long and all the major forces had borrowed everything they could, why would he use his ninth-grade spiritual veins as collateral for loans?

Just when Taoist Master Chenguang was worried about how to raise the remaining Chaos Spiritual Stones.

The guard in front of the temple reported that the deputy master of the Nanming Temple - [Ancestor Ji Yan] came to visit.

Ancestor Jiyan?

Taoist Master Chenguang frowned.

He had no friendship with Ji Yan, so why did he come to visit him at this time?

However, Ancestor Ji Yan is as powerful as Chen Guang, and he is quite prestigious in the entire fairy world.

What's more important is that the Nanming Temple is in full swing, and even a deputy hall master at the level of a half-step Immortal Emperor is much richer than Chen Guang.

No matter what, he had to see this side.

He immediately ordered someone to invite him.

Soon, a tall and straight old man with beard and hair as red as fire walked into the reception room.

Although he is old, he still walks with the steps of a dragon and a tiger. He is majestic and has a powerful aura like a patrolling tiger.

Behind him, there was also a handsome young man with outstanding temperament.

As soon as the people arrived, the hearty laughter of Ancestor Ji Yan rang out: "I have taken the liberty to come to visit. I hope Master Chenguang Palace will not blame you, don't blame me!"

"The presence of Vice-Master Ji Yan in our Wuji Shrine has made our palace shine. I'm not too late to welcome him. How can I be surprised?" Taoist Master Chenguang stood up to greet him politely and enthusiastically.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the host and guest took their seats one after another and served tea.

Ancestor Ji Yan then pointed to the young master beside him and introduced: "Master Chenguang Palace, this is one of the quasi-gods of our Nanming Temple, Mr. Mingzhe."

"It turns out that this young master is the Son of God Mingzhe." Taoist Master Chen Guang immediately showed a business smile that made people feel like spring breeze, and praised him like a warm spring breeze. "Sure enough, as rumored, he has outstanding style and magnanimity. He will definitely be a pillar of the immortal world in the future. Talent."

Taoist Master Chenguang understood that this quasi-god son of Mingzhe was a bloodline descendant of Ancestor Jiyan, and he had always been very precious to him.

It's just that compared to the other quasi-god son in the Nanming Temple - Mr. Yunhe, he seems to be a bit inferior.

At the same time, Taoist Master Chenguang was filled with emotions.

The Nanming Temple has easily cultivated two quasi-gods in this session, and their food and clothing are extremely luxurious, and the clothes they wear often cost hundreds of Chaos Spiritual Stones.

But to cultivate a quasi-goddess in his Wuji Palace, he needs to borrow money like selling iron.

The difference between them is sad to think about.

"Haha~~" Ancestor Ji Yan felt comfortable being patted by Taoist Master Chen Guang, and a slightly proud smile appeared on his face, "Although Mr. Mingzhe is not bad, his talent is still worse than that of your Xinglan Goddess It’s half a chip off.”

"What the hell! My Xinglan's qualifications are dull. If she doesn't push her all the time, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle her big job." Taoist Master Chen Guang said calmly and politely on the surface, but he immediately felt a little wary in his heart.

Ji Yan brought Mingzhe over, and what did he mean by mentioning Xinglan again?

"Hahaha, brother Chen Guang is too modest. Xinglan can be ranked fifth on the Shenying list. How can he be an ordinary person?" Ancestor Ji Yan smiled boldly.

Suddenly, his face straightened slightly, he looked at Taoist Master Chen Guang and whispered: "Brother Chen Guang, I accidentally met the [Elder Baohu] of the Divine Treasure Hall before and heard him complain about the loan. I wonder if this is the case. ?”

Taoist Master Chenguang's face turned slightly dark, and he couldn't help but complain to Elder Baohu.

Shenbaodian boasts all day long that it pays attention to the privacy of its customers, but it turns out that the so-called "privacy" means just saying yes to anyone you catch, right? Are poor customers no longer customers? Don’t you have any dignity?

There was also a slight displeasure in what he said: "Did Ancestor Jiyan come all the way here to make fun of the poverty of my palace?"

"Haha, brother Chen Guang, please don't misunderstand me." Ancestor Qi Yan said with a smile, "I came here this time because I have a great deal to discuss with Brother Chen Guang."

"Oh, Ancestor Qi Yan is here to pay off the debt of my palace?" Taoist Master Chenguang felt sad in his heart, and couldn't help but feel strangely angry.

"What's wrong with repaying the debt?" Ancestor Ji Yan laughed, "As long as Brother Chen Guang says a word, I will immediately repay the special money you borrowed for the Divine Creation Pill for you. As for other mortgage loans, it is not beyond negotiation. "

Faced with such a great good thing brought to his door, Taoist Master Chen Guang was not happy, but his face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes became a little more wary: "I believe that Ancestor Qi Yan is not a person who talks nonsense, so why not talk about it first? Your terms."

"Oh, tell the truth, I have a brat named Mingzhe who admires his noble disciple Xinglan in his heart. I have tried to persuade him many times to give up his fantasy, but he refuses to give up." Ancestor Qi Yan sighed helplessly. Sighing, as if he disliked the descendant of his own bloodline very much, "I couldn't defeat him, so I had no choice but to shamelessly propose to Brother Chen Guang."

Taoist Master Chenguang's face darkened, and he was almost reluctant to hit someone directly.

But even if he resisted the urge to hit someone, he was so angry that he couldn't even maintain the superficial politeness.

What a treasure is my Xinglan? That is the handsome young man ranked fifth on the Shenying List, and also the hope of entering Zhuanxu Shrine in the future. Ji Yan, you old dog is quite brave to think that with the repayment of those thousand chaos spirit stones, you want to force him to marry a disciple. Beautiful thought!

"Hmph!" Taoist Master Chenguang sneered, "I'm surprised that the Shenbao Palace has stopped taking loans early and won't take loans until later, but it wants to play this game at this time. It turns out that behind this, there are actually the head and tail of your Nanming Temple."

"It is natural to repay debts, so why should you rely on me?" Ancestor Qi Yan said with a smile, "If Brother Chen Guang can agree to this marriage, it will not only be a matter of a fortune pill, but also the rest of the loan. We can all discuss it one by one.”

"Such a loud tone? Even if you, Ancestor Jiyan, are the deputy palace master, you can't cover the sky with one hand and use so many resources to pay off my debts, can you?" Taoist Master Chenguang sneered, not believing his words at all, and waved his hand to call in the guards. , "Come, see the guests off!"

"Brother Chen Guang, please be patient. I haven't finished what I have to say yet." Ancestor Qi Yan waved his hand in a domineering manner and swatted all the guards out of the door. Then he looked at Taoist Master Chen Guang and said with a faint smile, "I don't know, Brother Chen Guang. Do you know how long my emperor’s life span is?”

Taoist Master Chenguang was slightly stunned, a little confused, but still said with a cold face: "Emperor Nanming has a longevity that reaches the sky. I heard that he is now 610,000 years old. Wait... are you referring to..."

"That's right." Ancestor Ji Yan said in a low voice, "My Emperor was promoted to the Immortal Emperor when he was 80,000 years old. He survived the third Immortal Emperor Tribulation as early as 170,000 years ago!"

Many outsiders with little knowledge think that once they become Immortal Emperors, they will be able to transcend reincarnation and live as long as the heavens!

Of course, this is true in theory, but it is only in theory.

After becoming the Immortal Emperor, Xuanwu monks need to face a greater challenge, that is - the origin catastrophe!

The power of this origin catastrophe is extremely terrifying. Compared with the [Chaos Purple Gold Thunder] that blasts wildly every day, it is like scratching an itch.

After a monk is promoted to Immortal Emperor, he will immediately face the first source of catastrophe.

Only the Immortal Emperor who successfully survives the first heavenly catastrophe can obtain enough [Heavenly Emperor's Nectar] from the catastrophe to pour and condense the body of the Immortal Emperor.

After that, another 180,000 years will pass, and the second source catastrophe will usher in.

No matter where you are hiding, even in the forbidden area of ​​​​the Endless Abyss, the original catastrophe will follow you like a shadow!

If he cannot survive the original catastrophe, it will naturally lead to the embarrassing situation of Emperor Zun's death.

This source of catastrophe will come once every 180,000 years, and there is no way to escape or avoid it.

Therefore, the Immortal Emperor who has survived the second great tribulation of his origin is called the [Two-Tribulation Immortal Emperor], and is much better than the First-Tribulation Immortal Emperor who has just become an Immortal Emperor.

And the Immortal Emperor of Three Tribulations is naturally better than the Immortal Emperor of Two Tribulations.

The famous Immortal Emperor Nanming is the more powerful Immortal Emperor of the Three Tribulations. After all, he continues to practice and is about to usher in the fourth tribulation.

At present, the Supreme Immortal Emperor of Taishang Palace can steadily suppress him.

Taoist Master Chenguang's expression became more solemn after hearing Ancestor Jiyan's words, and he whispered: "I have heard something about the fact that Emperor Nanming is about to usher in the fourth calamity. But according to the rumors, Emperor Zun has enough confidence to survive the fourth tribulation and become the second immortal emperor of the fourth tribulation in our immortal world."

Some big forces with Immortal Emperors at their command will, at the right time, train quasi-gods as their successors to prevent the embarrassing situation of no one being able to inherit the Immortal Emperor's inheritance after an unexpected death.

Therefore, most of the quasi-divine sons in history were actually spare tires. Under normal circumstances, they had no chance to inherit the Immortal Emperor's inheritance.

But even so, these quasi-divine sons have equally great potential after being promoted to the Hunyuan Realm. Almost all of them are in the late Hunyuan Realm, and are even the seeds of the Half-Step Immortal Emperor. They will also be the backbone of major forces in the future.

Who among the powerful men at the pinnacle of the Hunyuan Realm, such as Dao Master Chenguang and Ancestor Ji Yan, were not quasi-gods when they were young? All of them are existences that dominate the Shenying List.

However, at another special moment, the role of the Quasi-God Son was infinitely magnified.

That is the Immortal Emperor of this force. He is about to face the Immortal Emperor Tribulation once every 180,000 years, but he feels that he cannot survive it smoothly.

In this case, the Immortal Emperor is very likely to pass on the inheritance to the contemporary divine son in advance, and they themselves will often choose to make a big deal before the catastrophe comes.

If this big deal can be successful, it will naturally make a lot of money. If not, then there will be no loss.

However, whether the Immortal Emperor's Tribulation can be overcome, and what the chances of surviving it are, are often only known to the Immortal Emperor himself.

Moreover, the time span between the two Immortal Emperor Tribulations is 180,000 years, which is longer than the entire lifespan of the Hunyuan Realm strong people. Hunyuan Realm strong people often have no way to intervene on such issues. .

Therefore, although Taoist Master Chenguang had heard about the news that Immortal Emperor Nanming was about to undergo a catastrophe, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, Ancestor Ji Yan suddenly mentioned this matter to him. Could it be that...

"Brother Chen Guang, Wuji Palace was once one of the top forces in the immortal world. You should know how difficult it is to survive the fourth Immortal Emperor Tribulation..." Ancestor Ji Yan lowered his voice and said extremely mysteriously. , "This is also the reason why our family is willing to put all our money into it. If Mingzhe boy can marry Xinglan, it will definitely strengthen his momentum, and the probability of winning the battle for the Son of God will be greatly increased."

"Once our boy Mingzhe successfully obtains the Nanming inheritance, what will the debts of your Wuji Palace mean? When he ascends to the position of emperor, Xinglan will be the emperor's concubine. At that time, it will be no problem to help your Wuji Palace regain its lost territory."

To recapture the lost ground and restore the former glory of Wuji Shrine, this can be said to be the obsession of everyone in Wuji Shrine, and Taoist Master Chenguang is no exception.

After hearing the last words, Taoist Master Chenguang was finally moved.

It's just that he is still reluctant to let go of his beloved disciple Xinglan, and is also afraid that she will be wronged.

After pondering for a while, Taoist Master Chenguang looked at Ancestor Ji Yan solemnly: "I already understand what Brother Ji Yan means. However, the matter is serious, so I have to consider it carefully."

"That's natural." Ancestor Ji Yan was very satisfied with his reaction and didn't bother anymore. He immediately stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, Brother Chen Guang should think about it, so Ming Zhe and I will say goodbye for the time being."

After that, he left with Mingzhe Shenzi.

Both of them are full of confidence. With the current poverty of Wuji Shrine, this is their biggest chance to make a comeback. As long as Chen Guang has a little bit of brain, he will not refuse.

However.

What none of them expected was that something that should have been a sure thing would go wrong.

A few days later.

A Taoist boat dotted with stars shuttled through the Tianhe River and hovered behind the Wuji Palace.

Then, a long corridor stretched out from the edge of the Dao boat, completing the connection with the shrine.

This Dao boat is naturally the Xinglan Dao boat of Goddess Xinglan.

After a long journey, Goddess Xinglan finally returned to Wuji Palace with Wang Shouzhe and his party.

As a result, as soon as Goddess Xinglan arrived home, she learned about Patriarch Jiyan and Son of Mingzhe coming to propose marriage.

"I don't agree!" Goddess Xinglan's eyes widened and she objected firmly, "Master, what kind of ruined revival plan is this? Mingzhe is not even as good as Yan Yunhe, how can I marry him?"

She returned with great joy. As soon as she settled in with Wang Shouzhe and other distinguished guests, she immediately came to the Master to ask for credit. She was ready to tell the Master the good news as soon as possible, but unexpectedly she was the first to hear the bad news from the Master.

"They are just a couple in name only. Even after you get married, you don't have to go to Nanming Temple. You should continue to stay in the temple and take charge of the overall situation." Taoist Master Chenguang comforted him well, "Xinglan, who said our Wuji Temple is too poor? , this is a great opportunity to turn around.”

"Does it make sense to be poor? Can you sell your apprentice if you are poor?" Goddess Xinglan was not angry to death.

Master is usually very reliable, why did he suddenly lose his mind?

"You think you want to do this as a teacher~" Taoist Master Chenguang was also helpless, "Look at Qingli girl, she is more than a thousand years younger than you, so she raided her supreme lair and made a huge fortune. fiscal!"

"Scared? Is there such a thing? How could Qingli girl be so bold..." Goddess Xinglan was shocked.

However, she soon realized something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at her master in disbelief: "Wait, master, do you dislike me?"

"Master doesn't dislike you. Master is just stating the facts."

"Okay, okay, raid the lair of the Supreme Being, right? I'm going to raid the lair of the Supreme Ming!"

"Come back here! I'm just talking... You girl, are you going to be so angry as a teacher?" Master Chenguang was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed Xinglan Goddess, "Okay, okay, okay, If you don't want to get married, don't get married. The worst case scenario is that you can go to the front line and find a fighting job for your master. Well, the war zone near the Wuyue Temple is pretty good. Now Qingli girl is rich~~ If you can't keep it all, you can give me a high price~~ "

"No, Supreme You must be crazy now. It's too dangerous for you to go."

Going to the battlefield means risking your life. Master, he is already quite old. Leaving aside those top temple forces, he should be able to live out his life at this age. Goddess Xinglan really doesn’t want Master to go. Take the risk.

But the money owed cannot be repaid.

Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes lit up slightly and she said, "I have a way, which may be able to solve the urgent need."
