Even though there was a huge gap in their cultivation, they were willing to perform the salute. After all, Wang Gen's actions forced back the foreign army and saved the border tribes from suffering greater losses.
"Thank you for your courtesy, seniors." Wang Heng responded.
Afterwards, Shi Gu said goodbye and returned to the gate of the Imperial City to continue maintaining order. Wang Heng was received by several True Immortals from the border tribes.
Upon learning that he was here to meet their ancestor on the orders of the Wang Family Immortal King, several True Immortals did not dare to delay and immediately took Wang Heng deep into the Imperial City to the place where the ancestor was in seclusion.
Originally, the ancestors of several tribes had their retreats somewhere else and were not in the Imperial City at ordinary times. However, after the bloodbath in the Imperial City, they decided to move their retreats into the city and take charge personally to prevent the Imperial City from being lost and the lives of the people from being destroyed again.
Soon, they reached their destination.
These are several low mountains with different shapes. Some are covered with lush vegetation and full of vitality, some are full of flames and no grass grows, and some are wrapped in chaotic air and are extremely mysterious.
The retreat place of several Immortal Kings is of course extraordinary. As soon as Wang Heng stepped into the area where the low mountain was located, he felt a strong breath of the Tao, which can help people enter the realm of enlightenment more easily. If he stays here to practice, he will definitely benefit a lot.
After several True Immortals arrived here, they were all very cautious, for fear of disturbing the ancestor.
After sending out divine thoughts towards the low hills, they waited there with respectful looks on their faces.
Soon, there was a noise in the low mountain, and a voice sounded, very peaceful, yet also very vicissitudes of life.
"How is Brother Wang's injury?"
Wang Heng bowed to the hill and replied, "My father's injury is difficult to cure, but he is not going to die immediately. He can still hold on for a while."
Hearing Wang Heng's words, the Immortal King in the low mountain couldn't help but sigh.
The origin blood curse is so vicious that even if it can last for a period of time, it will be of no avail and will eventually lead to annihilation.
"We all owe your father our lives. If the blood curse targets any one of us, we will all perish.
Therefore, we made a promise to your father to protect you in the years to come."
Chapter 71 Seven Kings Protect the Way
The True Immortals nearby were all shocked when they heard this. Their ancestors - the seven immortal kings - were actually going to protect the same person.
In the whole world, apart from the biological son of the Wang family Immortal King, is there any other living being who enjoys this treatment?
Seven immortal kings are protecting the way. Who dares to touch Wang Heng in the future? Even if the immortal king comes, it won't work.
Wang Heng was deeply touched and stunned on the spot. His father said "shelter" instead of "protection". The former was about protecting his safety, but the latter was different. It meant to escort Wang Heng on his path to enlightenment. The two are incomparable.
On the way here, he was still thinking about the future injustices among ethnic groups in the border areas, thinking that he would help if he could, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.
Now, the seven kings want to protect him. This is a huge cause and effect. From now on, he will be in charge of the affairs of the ethnic groups on the border whether he wants to or not.
Before the dazed Wang Heng could respond, the chaotic energy on the low hill began to surge, the light of the avenue shone everywhere, and seven tall figures walked out of the chaotic energy and came in front of him.
They are the Seven Kings, the ancestors of the seven most powerful tribes on the border. In order to defend their homeland and protect it from foreign invasion and trampling, the seven have fought side by side for countless epochs and have already formed a deep friendship, like brothers with different surnames.
At this moment, the seven kings stood in front of Wang Heng, like seven chaotic sacred mountains, extremely tall and majestic. However, what they gave Wang Heng was not a feeling of oppression as heavy as a mountain, but a huge and unparalleled sense of security.
Imagine if an immortal king wanted to attack Wang Heng and cut off his path to success, but found out that there were seven kings standing behind him, how would this immortal king feel? He would probably put away his weapons immediately and reconsider whether or not to become an enemy.
"My child, you are Daoyou Wang's biological son, and we are of the same generation as Daoyou Wang. From now on, we will be your uncles, and you can call me Uncle Zhu."
A majestic figure walked forward, his body covered in flames, with a pair of Vermillion Bird wings on his back and a golden bone in his hand. He was none other than the Vermillion Bird King, the ancestor of the Vermillion Bird clan.
"Uncle Zhu..."
Wang Heng muttered, causing the Suzaku King to laugh and pat him on the shoulder.
"Haha, good. From now on, if anyone dares to touch you, just tell them my name and say that you are the nephew of the Vermillion Bird King. If they still don't know how to advance or retreat, your uncle Zhu will take action and make sure they die without a burial place."
His voice was so loud that it made the void buzz. The other six of the seven kings were already accustomed to his temper, even the True Immortal not far away was the same.
"Don't scare the child."
The ancestor of the Stone Clan walked out, glanced at the ancestor of the Vermillion Bird, and said this.
Then, he turned to look at Wang Heng and said earnestly: "Your uncle Zhuque is a straightforward person, don't be surprised, but his words are rough but his logic is sound. From now on, you are our nephew. No matter where you go or who makes trouble for you, you must remember that you have seven uncles to support you.
By the way, I am your Uncle Shi."
The Stone King smiled gently. From the moment he decided to protect Wang Heng, he treated Wang Heng as his own nephew and as his own son.
"That's right, I'm your Uncle Mu!"
"I'm your Uncle Qing!"
"I'm your Uncle Bai!"
……
The five kings behind him spoke up one after another and introduced their surnames so that Wang Heng could call them more easily.
Wang Heng is happy at this moment. What backup plan could be more powerful than the seven Immortal King uncles?
With the protection of the Seven Kings, he will be an honored guest wherever he goes. Even if someone is hostile to him, they probably won't dare to show it to his face.
This provided the most powerful support for him to travel alone to the fairyland.
"Since this is our first meeting, we uncles don't have much gifts for you. Take these little gadgets. You should practice well in the future and don't bring shame to your father's reputation." The Stone King spoke and pointed with one finger. A stream of light flew over and hovered in front of Wang Heng's chest.
These are some magical medicines, comparable to the ones surrounding the ancient tree of immortality in the Wang family’s Immortal King Medicine Garden. They are full of spirituality and powerful medicinal properties, and they are all related to the soul.
There is no doubt that the Stone King saw Wang Heng's extraordinary talent in his spiritual power, which is why he gave him these magical medicines.
In addition, there are many things related to the soul, many of which have become extinct and only exist in legends.
This was a very heavy gift, and the True Immortals standing by widened their eyes.
They realized that what their ancestor meant by "recognizing a nephew" was not just talk, but a sincere and real recognition.
Seeing that the Stone King had given out gifts, the other kings were not willing to be outdone. They piled up all kinds of precious medicines, magical ingredients, etc., which were dazzling.
Wang Heng felt a warm feeling flowing through his heart. He did not say any polite words. He showed respect to the seven kings as a junior and expressed his gratitude. At this moment, he also regarded these seven kings as his uncles from the bottom of his heart.
Afterwards, the seven kings communicated with Wang Heng and were very concerned about Wang Heng's future. When they learned that Wang Heng had overcome the dark curse with the help of his father and walked out a path of his own, the kings looked at each other and knew that this matter involved Wang Heng's personal secrets, so they did not ask more questions.
Next, they asked Wang Heng about his future plans and whereabouts, and got an answer that surprised them quite a bit.
"Immortal Realm? Do you want to follow the system of that realm?"
“The Dao Seed Method is not inferior to the Immortal Realm’s system, but you have been affected by the Origin Blood Curse, and the Dao Seed in your body may have also suffered a disaster.
There is no perfect ancient species that suits me, so it is indeed not appropriate to go the avenue planting method anymore. "Stone King sighed and roughly guessed the cause and effect.
"Unfortunately, we don't have any seeds suitable for you here. The perfect ancient species we found has already been fused with someone." The man surnamed Mu, Wang, shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, uncles. For my nephew, it doesn't matter where I go.
The cultivation path of that fairyland has created a number of extremely powerful fairy kings. It is extremely brilliant. My nephew has admired it for a long time, and I want to witness it on this trip."
"That's fine. The laws of the Immortal Realm are profound and extensive, with a long history and a great origin. You can also achieve great success by following the laws of the Immortal Realm.
However, going to the fairyland is much more dangerous than practicing in the primitive ancient world. Although we are there to deter you, there is no guarantee that some fairy king will take the risk and attack you. Moreover, in that realm, there are fairy kings who have grudges with us.
If you go to that world, you must be careful." The Bai surnamed Wang said seriously.
Wang Heng nodded solemnly. He would not move out the Seventh King unless it was absolutely necessary. A big tree is good, but it also attracts the wind. Everything has two sides.
“Wuzhong, Liudao and other tribes from the ancient world will arrive in this city soon to crown the border tribes as kings. This is a grand event and a major event worth remembering in this era. You should stay in the city and enter the fairyland after the crowning is completed.
As far as I know, there is a fellow immortal king who is also going to the immortal realm, and he can take you there." said the Stone King.
Wang Heng naturally had no reason to refuse, but he was wondering who the Immortal King that Shi Wang was talking about was going to the Immortal Realm.
Afterwards, the seven kings returned to the low mountains. Wang Heng also said goodbye and was led by several true immortals from the border tribes to a resting place.
"Senior, has Fellow Daoist Shi Jintian of the Shi Clan returned? I once met him in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea."
"Oh? Wang Zu knows Jin Tian? That's really a blessing for Jin Tian.
After the border battle ended, he came back and is now in the Imperial City. He will be allowed to meet the King later." The Immortal of the Stone Clan replied.
Hearing this, Wang Heng smiled and nodded.
This time, he was no longer modest or evasive, and he addressed the Immortal King as uncle and nephew. In terms of seniority, he was indeed much older than Shi Jintian. In the eyes of the True Immortals, this was like meeting an elder.
Soon, Wang Heng followed several True Immortals to his temporary residence, which was a magnificent immortal palace filled with the aura of the Great Dao and extraordinary momentum.
Not far away, there are more than one immortal palaces of similar specifications.
When Wang Heng learned that this level of palace was used to entertain guests from the Immortal King, he was flattered and even said that he didn't need to live in this kind of palace and could just live in any other one.
However, the true immortals insisted on inviting him in, and Wang Heng had no choice but to live in this huge immortal palace.
As you enter the fairy palace, a vast atmosphere of time hits you in the face, giving you a feeling of traveling through the long river of history. The carvings along the way record the major events that have occurred in the border imperial city in the past.
The ancient stone carvings and rough textures all tell of the primitiveness and glory of those times.
Wang Heng watched with great interest along the way, and only came to his senses when he reached the end of the palace.
At this time, the true immortal had already left, leaving behind a domino. If Wang Heng needed anything, he only had to activate the domino and the true immortal would come.
"The true immortal is always available upon call..." Wang Heng sighed, this kind of treatment is really too dreamy.
All this was brought about by his father. As far as the current period of time is concerned, without Wang Weng, what would Wang Heng be?
He came to the place for meditation and practice, sat cross-legged on a sacred wooden cushion, closed his eyes and rested, while thinking about the future direction of his practice as a "divine" body.
The system is naturally the system of the Fairyland. Although he has not understood the content of the Fairyland system, through the Perfect World, he can roughly imagine the direction of the Fairyland system.
When Shi Hao crossed the boundary to deal with the Rain God, he entered a depleted universe where a portal was sealed, which was suspected to be the way for the return of a creature who wanted to participate in the liquidation. At the same time, there was also the consciousness of a creature from the Fairyland.
He told Shi Hao that the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were already in the Dharma Ending Age. Strictly speaking, the laws circulating in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were passed down from the Fairyland. In other words, the laws of the Fairyland should be similar to the laws of this world, only that the Fairyland is vast and full of talented people, and geniuses appear from time to time, making changes and opening up new paths.
This has led to constant changes in certain areas of the system and the emergence of new branches, but in the general direction, it is still a law within the system and cannot be considered the creation of a new system of cultivation.
Only Shi Hao's Secret Realm Method can be said to have truly opened up a new system.
The so-called "opening up a new path" by the genius of the Immortal Realm is most likely similar to the fusion of Shi Hao's ten caves into one.
In short, the Immortal Realm system will not make people feel too unfamiliar. The current time period is the middle period of the Immortal Ancient Era, and the time when the Immortal Realm Law spreads to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is the end of the Immortal Ancient Era.
In other words, the current fairyland law needs to evolve for half an era before it can reach the form of the modern law of the chaotic ancient era. There is a relationship of sequence between the two.
When Shi Hao rose, the laws of the Fairyland had changed again, and were "upgraded" again on the basis of moving blood, cave heaven... and heading towards a new path. However, no matter how it changed, it was never able to break away from the root of the system, which was still the rough system created by the butcher's ancestors.
After all, there are too many hardships and disasters to go through in opening up a new system, and ordinary creatures simply cannot survive. You know, the rough outline of the fairyland system was jointly developed by a group of fairy kings, and it was very dangerous for them to face the disasters together, so you can imagine the difficulty.
Of course, all of this is Wang Heng’s guess, and the specific situation can only be verified after reaching the fairyland.
If the guess is true, then the modern law of the chaotic ancient era may become Wang Heng's advantage in foresight.
