Chapter 10 You're a slave too?!
"Void, do you have any scriptures that record the deeds of the Ruthless Great Emperor?"
In the Ji family's library, hundreds of thousands of years ago, Wang Xuan suddenly poked his head out from behind a bookshelf and asked Ji Xukong a question.
After discovering the genius Ji Xukong, Wang Xuan's status in the Ji family rose again, so he applied for a sinecure position managing the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion, and took Ji Xukong with him.
Compared to later generations, this place is hundreds of thousands of years closer to the era of the Ruthless Great Emperor, making many records more reliable.
"Ruthless Emperor? It should be Devouring Emperor, right?" Unexpectedly, Ji Xukong corrected Wang Xuan's mistake very formally.
"Uh," Wang Xuan was slightly taken aback. He stepped out of the bookshelf and looked at Ji Xukong, only to find that there was a genuine respect on his face.
"The Ruthless Emperor is merely a slander against the Devouring Emperor by later generations. In fact, among all the emperors with historical records, I believe the Ruthless Emperor is worthy of being ranked in the top three!" Ji Xukong said earnestly.
Huh! I never expected that you, Void, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be a potential slave!
They're even more loyal than I am!
"Before the Devouring Heaven Holy Land was destroyed, the title of Ruthless Emperor only existed among the common people and was not respectable!" Ji Xukong emphasized.
"It wasn't until the Devouring Heaven Holy Land was destroyed that some ill-intentioned holy lands began promoting the title 'Ruthless Man' to slander the Great Emperor!"
Ah yes, yes, yes!
Wang Xuan's expression was rather peculiar. The Void Emperor and the Ruthless Emperor were rare extremes among the emperors.
One fought his entire life in bloodshed, the other was obsessed with becoming an emperor.
But now, the young Ji Xukong actually holds the Ruthless Great Emperor in such high esteem.
"Because of mortal body?" Wang Xuan realized the key point.
Although Ji Xukong possessed extraordinary comprehension of the Great Dao of Void, he was merely a mortal, and even opening the Sea of Bitterness would be extremely difficult for him. This was somewhat similar to the ruthless... ah, I mean! to the Devouring Emperor.
Perhaps during a period when Ji Xukong was unable to open the Sea of Bitterness, the experience of the Devouring Emperor inspired him and strengthened his belief in cultivation.
"Three thousand years ago, there was a rogue cultivator who was born into a mortal body and wrote a biography for the Devouring Emperor."
"It is said that back then, in his search for traces of the Ruthless Great Emperor, he even went to the legendary Feathered Divine Dynasty and the ruins of the Devouring Heaven Holy Land, reconstructing many events from that time!"
Ji Xukong solemnly pulled a jade book from the bookshelf.
The Legend of Devouring Heaven!
Simple yet powerful, it records the traces that the rogue saint unearthed in history.
In later generations, the title of the Devouring Emperor almost disappeared from history, and this book, Devouring Heaven Chronicles, has probably also been lost to time.
"Brother, the experiences of this Ruthless Emperor are truly unprecedented; no emperor in history can compare to him!"
With a look of reverence and a serious expression, Ji Xukong began to recommend it to Wang Xuan.
Yes, "Amway" was the first word that came to Wang Xuan's mind. This young man, Ji Xukong, was clearly a big fan of the Devouring Emperor.
Is that correct?
That's right!
Wang Xuan's main body had already arrived at the capital of Yan. He landed in the most bustling market, concealed his aura, and walked through the market like an ordinary person.
"Golden thread dates, big and sweet."
"Crispy chicken wings, money back guarantee if you don't like them."
"Zhang's soup dumplings have thin skins, generous fillings, and are juicy and delicious. Come and try them!"
"Candied hawthorn berries, one skewer costs only one copper coin."
The sounds of various vendors hawking their wares filled the air, creating a vibrant, worldly atmosphere.
Wang Xuan was quite relaxed. Judging from the stories about the Devouring Emperor that she heard from Ji Xukong, her difficult childhood was unavoidable.
According to the sage's account, this emperor in history was a beggar in his childhood, wandering alone.
"Big brother... I'm hungry, please buy me a steamed bun, please, I'm so hungry."
Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was the cause and effect between the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and the Dao Fruit, but as Wang Xuan was walking through the market, a pair of small hands suddenly grabbed the hem of his clothes.
The little girl was wearing tattered, patched-up clothes, and her face was dirty, but her eyes were bright and clear.
"Nannan?" Wang Xuan squatted down and used his fingers to wipe away the dirt from the little girl's face.
"Big brother, do you know me?" the little girl asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"Probably, but it was probably many tens of thousands of years ago."
Wang Xuan said, and the little girl tilted her head, unable to understand the meaning of his words.
Wang Xuan wiped the little girl's face clean, then took her to a nearby steamed bun shop. He ordered two of each kind of steamed bun and watched her eat them.
"Big brother! You eat too!" The little girl cleverly divided all the buns into two portions, one for each of them.
"Okay, let's eat together." These buns were just ordinary to Wang Xuan, but they were an unparalleled delicacy to the little girl.
"Why don't you come with me, little girl? We'll live together and you won't go hungry anymore," Wang Xuan coaxed patiently.
"But...but, Nannan will never grow up, and her memory isn't good." The little girl, who was eating a meat bun, suddenly became depressed.
"Wouldn't that be even better? I won't grow any older, and I'll never die. I'll stay like this forever," Wang Xuan laughed.
As long as he diligently cultivates himself, time will not catch up with him!
For those who cultivate the Great Dao of Time, dying of old age is very shameful, don't you think, Xiaoyao!
"Really?!" The little girl suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Wang Xuan with curiosity.
"Of course! I would never lie to my little girl."
"Okay! Okay!" The little girl happily ate a big steamed bun in one bite.
Perhaps in the little girl's mind, this could be considered a kind of shared suffering?
Little monsters and big monsters should stay together!
Afterwards, Wang Xuan asked a maid to help the little girl wash and dress her in a fairy dress.
The little beggar boy turned into a little fairy!
"The little girl is so cute!" Wang Xuan pinched the little girl's cheek.
"Let's go, the whole world is our home!"
For the next period of time, Wang Xuan almost forgot about cultivation and traveled with Xiao Nannan to various secular countries.
However, during this process, Wang Xuan's cultivation level increased naturally.
That's how it should be for cultivating the Tao!
"Cough cough!" Qingxuan from 30,000 years ago coughed up blood.
"Your cultivation isn't very good," Wan Qing commented.
The two have managed to escape the pursuit of the powerful figures in Zhongzhou and have obtained many valuable items in the mountains of Zhongzhou, making rapid progress in their cultivation.
About half a month ago, Wang Xuan started to spar with Wan Qing from time to time.
As for the result, there's no need to elaborate.
Even though Wan Qing severed the Chaos Green Lotus's original form, some things cannot be changed; enlightenment and understanding the Dao are almost instinctive for him.
In every sparring match, Wang Xuan was utterly defeated.
However, with a Celestial King reincarnated as his sparring partner, Wang Xuan's progress was remarkably rapid.
"Huh? Big brother, why has your Void Handprint improved so quickly?" Hundreds of thousands of years ago, Ji Xukong looked at Wang Xuan in astonishment.
"I'm still not as good as you." Wang Xuan shook his head. Some time ago, he had already passed on the Void Scripture to Ji Xukong of this era.
The result is just like now, continuing to fight in vain, with his cultivation progress completely crushing him.
Ji Xukong's cultivation was inferior to his, but he was able to shatter Ji Xukong's Void Handprint every time.
According to Ji Xukong, the void has its own structure, and the void techniques and supernatural powers cast by humans can never be perfect; he can break them with ease.
Wang Xuan: ?
Why don't I see any void structure?
"This damn talent!" Wang Xuan gritted his teeth!
You guys forced me to cheat!
