Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Emperor Wenchang turned around slowly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Master Wan Yu is here."

The old eunuch quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Emperor Wenchang ignored it and walked directly past the old eunuch and came to Zhao Mu.

"Meet Taoist Master Wan Yu!"

Emperor Wenchang looked very excited and bowed respectfully to Zhao Mu: "I didn't expect that I would actually be able to meet such an immortal figure as the Taoist Master in my lifetime. I am truly lucky."

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I'm just an ordinary monk, nothing."

"No, no, no. Hundreds of years ago, the Taoist Master single-handedly suppressed the great calamity. Such methods were simply shocking. Although I couldn't see it with my own eyes, every time I read those ancient books, I feel as if I was witnessing the grand occasion at that time."

"Haha, Your Majesty is so complimentary."

Zhao Mu smiled slightly and looked up at the palace. At the same time, Tantai Mingjue, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, happened to open his eyes.

"Sir, are you awake?" Emperor Wenchang said in surprise upon seeing this.

"Well, I'm awake."

Tantai Mingjue nodded and looked at Zhao Mu tiredly but pleasantly surprised: "Taoist Priest, I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. Your appearance is really the same as before."

"Is it?"

Zhao Mu smiled: "But your appearance has changed a lot. I thought I would never see you again after we said goodbye, but I didn't expect that you would live forever to this day, and you would also have a good level of cultivation."

"Taoist priest, don't be ridiculous. I am not immortal at all. I am just lingering on."

Tantai Mingjue smiled bitterly: "Hey, I have always relied on my intelligence, but I didn't expect that I was still greedy enough and ended up where I am now. If I had known this, I would never have pursued immortality back then."

Zhao Mu flew up and came to Tantai Mingjue.

He looked at the other person up and down and said in surprise: "Your state is very strange. You seem to be a Taoist but not a Taoist, and you look like a demon but not a demon. How did you get this level of cultivation? It doesn't seem like you came from cultivation?"

"The Taoist Master really has a good eye. To be honest, I don't know what I am now."

Tantai Mingjue sighed: "It is said that people's hearts are not enough and snakes swallow elephants. When people are poor, they want to be rich. After they become rich, they want power. After gaining power, they are still not satisfied. They still want to live forever and be the emperor for eternity. ,I am no exception."

"Back then, I was considered diligent and caring for the people. I made the country under the God Bless Dynasty rich and strong and the people strong. I was respected by the government and the public as a wise king."

"But I am not satisfied. I think that since I am a wise king, I should always sit on the throne. Especially during the great calamity of the country, I have witnessed the shocking methods of countless immortal cultivators. I am extremely envious."

"So I began to work hard to find a way to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots."

"At the beginning, I placed my hope on a technique passed down from my ancestors called "The True True Classic of One Hundred Tribulations."

Zhao Mu's heart moved. This "Hundred Tribulations of True True Classic" was created by this deity. It was passed to Tantai Mingjue's grandfather earlier and has been passed down in the Tantai family.

However, the "Hundred Kalpas True True Sutra" is not a true Taoist cultivation method, and it cannot allow people to embark on the immortal path.

At this time, I heard Tantai Mingjue continue to say: "The "Hundred Kalpas True True Classic" is said to have been passed down by the outer deacon of the Ziwei Dao Sect, Taoist Master Xuanchengzi."

"But although this technique can allow practitioners to condense their true energy and have strength beyond the realm of martial arts and heavenly beings, it cannot allow people to embark on the immortal path, so in the end I had to find another way."

"By chance, in a royal secret history of the Jin Dynasty, I discovered that the tortoise who ruled the country once opened an underground palace under Feilai Peak."

"Later, after many twists and turns, I finally found the portal leading to the underground palace in the palace. What surprised me even more was that every brick and tile in the palace actually retained a strong evil spirit. It must have been the entrance to the underground palace back then. It’s left behind by the God of the Kingdom.”

At this time, on Zhao Mu's shoulder, the turtle spirit the size of a sesame seed muttered: "Uncle Turtle, when I was refining the formation base here, the whole space was filled with mana. There was indeed demonic energy seeping into the ground and walls, but it should not be counted. Isn’t it rich?”

"It's not rich for you, but for Tantai Mingjue hundreds of years ago, it was extremely rich."

Black Dragon interjected.

"Too."

Turtle Spirit nodded: "I just didn't expect that he, a human, would dare to use my demon energy to practice. Aren't you afraid of being demonized?"

"Can't you see? There's something wrong with his body already." The black dragon looked thoughtful.

Tantai Mingjue continued: "I know that demonic energy is not a good thing for the human race, but I, who had already fallen into madness at that time, didn't care about it at all and immediately began to absorb the demonic energy."

"But what's surprising is that my body can actually assimilate the demonic energy in turn. Firstly, it's because of the "Hundred Tribulations Restore the Truth", which makes me different from a warrior. My true energy is not even worse than the magic power of ordinary monks. "

"Secondly, it's because I once had an immortal magic weapon sealed in my body. That magic weapon has been in my body for many years and has subtly changed my physique."

"The result of the interaction between the two is that after my body absorbed the demonic energy, I was not demonized, but became stronger and stronger."

Zhao Mu's heart moved. The magic weapon of immortality mentioned by Tantai Mingjue was naturally the Compass of Destiny.

After he obtained the Compass of Destiny, in order to eliminate the divine thoughts of Monk Zhenru, he used the Mortal Blood Spirit Extinguishing Technique to seal the Compass of Destiny into the body of Tantai Minjue's grandfather, and passed it down from generation to generation.

Finally, in the generation of Tan Tai Ming Jue, he took out the Destiny Compass, but he didn't expect that the aura of the immortal magic weapon would actually have an impact on Tan Tai Ming Jue's body.

Talking about these things one by one, there is really a sense of destiny that every bite and every drink is destined by heaven.

"After absorbing the evil spirit of the entire palace, not only did my strength increase greatly, but my life span was also extended a lot. I estimate that I can live at least three hundred years."

"But I was still not satisfied at that time. After all, compared with those Taoist masters who have a life span of thousands or tens of thousands of years, three hundred years is too insignificant, so I continued to look for ways to make myself stronger."

"At that time, the Heart Devouring Demon appeared."

Tan Tai Ming Jue said here, looking at the hunchbacked old man who was also sitting in the void opposite: "This person calls himself the Heart Devouring Demon. He is a demon from the outside world. He said that he can give me a longer life and a stronger cultivation."

"You said he is a demon from the outside world?" Zhao Mu frowned.

At the same time, the expressions of Gui Ling and Hei Jiao also became solemn.

The demons from outside the domain are enemies that will never stop fighting, whether for human cultivators or demons.

Hei Jiao transmitted the message: "No wonder I felt that this old guy was weird when I was in Linshui City. I didn't expect that he was actually a demon from outside the domain."

"Hmph, such a disgusting guy must die."

Gui Ling also gritted his teeth and said: "Chu Ying boy, no matter what, you must not let this old thing leave alive today. The demons from outside the domain are a disaster if they remain in the world."

"Don't worry, he will die today."

Zhao Mu said coldly.

Since the battle on Tree Island that year, after killing the tree demon, this is the second demon he has encountered.

I just don't know where these demons came from, and whether they have anything to do with the fake Buddha in the mysterious other world?
