Zhu Xuanji held the light letter in his hand, yet it felt scorchingly hot!
Although he wanted to discard it, recalling his return to the Royal Capital to report for duty and the subsequent audience with the Monarch, the latter had directly ordered him to represent the Zhu Family of the Southern Bean Royal Family in dealing with the matters of the Lava Fairy Palace.
But Zhu Xuanji always felt that he was being pushed to the frontline by the Monarch, making contact with the Son of Destiny!
Zhu Xuanji gritted his teeth and laboriously opened the letter, scanning its content with his Divine Sense—
Esteed and wise elder brother Zhu Xuanji, greetings:
(Zhu Xuanji: Who's your elder brother? Stop calling that!)
Since our parting, the ends of the earth have separated us, communications sparse, days and months swiftly passing, feeling like an eternity. The grace and presence of elder brother remain indelible in my mory, never forgotten even for a mont.
(Zhu Xuanji: Why rember all this so clearly? Forget about !)
Recalling our tis within the Lava Fairy Palace, we sailed the sa boat and stood side by side. On the Mist Hidden Mountain, we weathered storms together and strategized; it was indeed the happiest ti of my life. Brother's profound strategies and carefree manner deeply impressed . Recalling those scenes fills with a warmth still fresh in my mind. To continue our forr connections would indeed be an opportunity bestowed by heaven.
(Zhu Xuanji: Who said we stood side by side? Weren't you plotting against ? This is not good at all! What does this kid want now? Seeking my help again?)
I have a small request. I have long heard of the National Cellar Love Wine from our Southern Bean Country, richly aromatic, indescribably exquisite—a worldly treasure. Though I have yet to taste it, my longing has persisted; I dare to ask elder brother to gift a jar, to quench my thirst for this fine wine, and perhaps also to rekindle so old sentints.
(Zhu Xuanji: Love Wine? This kid fancies drinking now? Take it, just take it, just don't bother .)
Moreover, there was once an ancient sage known as the Five Elents God Master. I am imnsely interested in him, yet my information is limited. Thus, I specially request elder brother to bestow so information, to dispel the confusions in my heart. Obtaining any tidbit would fill with gratitude.
(Zhu Xuanji: The Five Elents God Master? That's a big na; seems I've seen it sowhere before. Seeking information from ? Eyeing the archives of the Divine Hunter Office, huh? Smart kid, he asked the right person. Take it, you can have it too!)
I hope that in your recent investigations, your mind is as fast as lightning, penetrating mysteries. May all difficult matters be clear as day, and may all go smoothly, achieving success early. If elder brother finds the ti, I hope to invite you to the Ten Thousand dicine Valley. The scenery is enchanting, vegetation lush—perfect for drinking fine wine, reminiscing the old tis, and discussing new strategies.
Please take care, wishing everything goes well for elder brother, and hoping for an early reunion to share our grand aspirations!
This is sent with respect by
Ning Zhuo.
(Zhu Xuanji: Ten Thousand dicine Valley? Oh, there is a large sect called the Ten Thousand dicine Sect there. Asking to go to Ten Thousand dicine Valley? Ha, as if that would happen!)
Having finished reading the letter, Zhu Xuanji felt sweat forming on his forehead.
As for the Son of Destiny, the further he could stay away, the better.
Inviting him to the Ten Thousand dicine Sect?
Not going!
Never going!
The Love Wine and information about the Five Elents God Master, take them, all yours.
Just don't bother anymore.
"Wait, why does Ning Zhuo specifically seek information about the Five Elents God Master? What has he co into contact with now?"
"Don't think about it, don't think about anything."
"Why ddle with the business of the Son of Destiny?!"
Zhu Xuanji imdiately cautioned himself in his heart.
He was fully on guard, personally checked the archives, looked up records, and extracted all information on the Five Elents God Master, creating a Jade Slip.
He also utilized his connections to take out centuries-old National Cellar Love Wine from the royal treasury.
Finally, he activated the privileges of the courier station for transportation, sending these items at maximum speed to Ning Zhuo.
Ten Thousand dicine Valley.
Ning Zhuo, having received the information, was quite surprised.
He remarked to Sun Lingtong, "Old Zhu is a capable and righteous man; I didn't expect him to handle this so quickly."
"For him, it might be a small matter, but it's a great help to ."
"Hmm, I should properly thank him in the future, and seek his help again!"
Sun Lingtong then said, "Now, your performance in the Lava Fairy Palace affair as a Ning Family is crucial in determining whether Fire Persimmon Immortal City falls into the hands of the ng Family. This is extrely important for the Royal Family."
"Little Zhuo, now you are an important figure in the Ning Family, Zhu Xuanji will certainly take you seriously."
"It's just that I didn't expect that eventually, we and Zhu Xuanji would beco friends. The twists and turns of fate in this world are truly unexpected."
"But are you still skeptical about investigating the Five Elents God Master?"
Ning Zhuo nodded, hmming: "I have thoroughly read poetry and history, yet never heard of the na of the Five Elents God Master. Such a powerful figure must be a person from ancient tis."
"Living people have their lifespan, dead people have their netherworld-span. Life spans are limited, and so are netherworld spans."
"Logically, the ancient powers should have exhausted their millennia of netherworld-span by now. But I still feel the Five Elents God Master is vigorous and lively. This is abnormal."
"The biggest doubt is that after returning from the chanical Dragon, although I had sobered up from the alcohol, I still received the transmission of the Five Elents God Master's technique."
"I've ntioned this to Linghu Jiu, but he couldn't explain it either."
"There are many mysterious aspects to this. Receiving the transmission and obtaining the complete 'Five Organs Temple Spirit Divine Skill' seed too easy. Moreover, my advancent in the Five Elents Realm is even more valuable than this technique."
"I might be young and lacking experience, but I've spent fourteen years painstakingly planning the Lava Fairy Palace affair."
"Suddenly receiving such a significant benefit, to be honest, it makes quite uneasy."
Sun Lingtong shrugged, "What's there to be afraid of? Since you're not practicing this technique, and the Five Elents Realm is entirely yours—a tangible benefit."
"Lifespan in the Netherworld is limited, but how can we asure a great power like the Five Elents God Master with ordinary standards?"
"We are just two junior cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt stage, how could we possibly comprehend the mighty power of the Five Elents God Master?"
Ning Zhuo shook his head, "If we first conduct thorough investigations and understand the details, then in the future, I can study the 'Five Organs Temple Divine Skill' with peace of mind."
Sun Lingtong nodded, "Yes, being cautious like this is good. Let's see what the Jade Slip has to say."
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong both projected their Divine Senses.
All the intelligence regarding the Five Elents God Master was known to them.
As Ning Zhuo had guessed before, the Five Elents God Master was indeed a figure from ancient tis—
He appeared after the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, at the beginning of the Emperor Wu Era!
The Blood Slaughter Dynasty was the first dynasty in history.
A dynasty, that is an organizational force that unified the entire world and all its territories.
In the entire history of the world, there were only three dynasties. The Blood Slaughter Dynasty was the first.
At that ti, the Human Clan Cultivators were not the main protagonists, and the presence of demons and devils was the most prominent feature of the dynasty.
After the collapse of the dynasty, various forces around the world fell into strife and slaughter, creating chaos.
Only when a mixed-blood man from the human, demon, and devil clans ascended the imperial throne did the world regain much of its order.
This man was Emperor Wu!
Historically, he was considered the second emperor.
And so-called empires, historically recognized, also numbered only five. One of the criteria for an empire is that the Cultivation Kingdom must occupy at least eighty percent of the world's territories, having a huge influence, being the main body of the world.
The relationship between the Five Elents God Master and Emperor Wu was very close, both friends and foes.
He had unparalleled talent and a strong style. Before Emperor Wu ascended to the throne, he fought alongside Emperor Wu against their enemies, sharing a deep camaraderie.
The battle that made the Five Elents God Master famous was against the Jiao Demon of the Black River. At that ti, the Five Elents God Master ventured alone into the Black River, turning it red with the blood of his enemies, and eventually fought the Jiao Demon for three days and nights, defeating it. With his strength alone, he swept away a major demon force, shaking the world.
The pinnacle battle of the Five Elents God Master was against the Blood Sea Demon Lord. He led a large army, besieged the Blood Sea for years, and ultimately trapped and killed the Blood Sea Demon Lord with the Five Elents Demon Extermination Array. After this battle, he was recognized as the top figure below Emperor Wu.
The last battle of the Five Elents God Master was the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Campaign. Emperor Wu led a large army, sweeping across the world, forcing the demons to gather at Ten Thousand Demons Mountain.
With the demon forces gathered, and Emperor Wu unable to overco them, the Five Elents God Master took command in the crisis and charged into the fray. His Five Spirits manifested, divine light soaring, engaging in a life-and-death battle with the demons.
In the end, Emperor Wu's army captured Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, reducing this once highest peak to ruins, and the Five Elents God Master also fell on the battlefield.
All of the above is from official history.
However, according to many clues collected by the Divine Hunter Office, summarized from archaeological findings, there is also an unofficial history.
The unofficial history speaks of a love triangle involving two n and one woman.
The two n were Emperor Wu and the Five Elents God Master, and the woman was Jingyu Immortal Princess.
In their early years, the forr two traveled the world together and t the latter, both developing feelings for her. But eventually, Jingyu Immortal Princess married Emperor Wu.
However, Emperor Wu had many wives and was focused on his great cause, neglecting the emotions of Jingyu Immortal Princess.
The Five Elents God Master and Jingyu Immortal Princess frequently t in secret, eventually being discovered by Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu then sched, causing Jingyu Immortal Princess to be captured by demons and taken to Ten Thousand Demons Mountain. The Five Elents God Master, without regard for his own safety, went to rescue her, and both ultimately died in battle there.
It is also because of this that, after achieving his great cause, Emperor Wu personally ordered the eradication of all records, attempting to bury the affair of the Five Elents God Master and Jingyu Immortal Princess in the river of history, unknown to later generations.
After reading, Sun Lingtong said, "So, that's the kind of man Emperor Wu was. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Ning Zhuo pondered, "No wonder I have not heard of this person's na before. On one hand, he is from ancient tis, and on the other hand, many records have been deliberately erased, leaving very little to be passed down."
The information was reviewed, but it did not explain why the Five Elents God Master still existed to this day, passing on his legacy to Ning Zhuo in the Netherworld.
"Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, Myriad Demons Cave, Ten Thousand dicine Valley, Ten Thousand dicine Sect... I didn't expect that this mountain valley was once the highest peak in the world. Once a sacred mountain where myriad demons gathered, now it is just an ordinary dicinal sect's headquarters. The world changes indeed," Sun Lingtong exclaid.
Ning Zhuo furrowed his brows tightly, "Sothing doesn't feel right, there seems to be sothing strange."
"Boss, I need to drink the Netherworld Wine again."
Sun Lingtong said, "You can drink, just stay away from the Spirit Hidden Willow."
"Of course, I know that," Ning Zhuo nodded.
He left the chanical Dragon and let Sun Lingtong steer it to a corner of the Cave Mansion, keeping distance from Ning Zhuo.
Ning Zhuo sat on the cushion, solemnly sipped the Netherworld Wine.
Nothing happened.
He took a few more sips.
All was calm!
Ning Zhuo frowned deeply, pondered for a while, then called for Hua Guzi.
"Young Master Ning Zhuo! You finally summoned !" Hua Guzi's eyes sparkled, extrely excited.
Ning Zhuo waved his hand, "Check this wine."
Hua Guzi used various thods to test it, eventually tasting a sip, and spat, "This wine is crudely made, the recipe is contradictory, it's fake!"
"Young Master, tell quick, who tried to fool you with this thing? I'll take care of him, avenge you!"
