The painter scholar looked at the place where Old Man Qiankun disappeared with a complicated expression, and fell into silence for a long time.

Finally, he sighed softly and said to himself: "That's all. I've paid back everything that needs to be paid. Just for your sake, I, Cen Danqing, and Xuanmen will be clean from now on."

After the painting scholar finished speaking, he felt a strange feeling all over his body, and vigorous power continued to pour into his body.

The painting scholar's expression changed, he was going to advance to the imperial realm!

But he didn't have Tao Fruit in his hand.

When the scholar Danqing was about to go out to search for the Tao Fruit, he suddenly found that the obstacles in his body had disappeared and the transformation of power was extremely smooth.

Rumble! ——

The Tribulation-Transcending Thunder struck down without any warning.

The painting scholar couldn't think too much and concentrated on dealing with the thunder disaster.

After the thunder tribulation was completed, he successfully advanced to the imperial realm.

"Why did you advance to the next level without taking Dao Fruit?" the scholar Danqing said softly, his gaze falling not far away.

The painter scholar quickly remembered what Old Man Qiankun said before.

There are no restrictions.

So it was Qiankun who did it!

At this moment, the painter's face turned extremely ugly.

Originally, Old Man Qiankun passed the inheritance on to Chu Qianji, but what he faced was the end of his body and soul.

However, Old Man Qiankun is in the realm of a saint and has a soul. As long as he has a trace of his soul, he still has a glimmer of hope.

But now it's not possible.

All the vitality belonging to the universe has disappeared.

Even if he later attains enlightenment and becomes the Lord of Time, he will not be able to find traces of Qian Kun in the long river.

Qiankun used his own body and soul to disappear in exchange for Chu Qianji not being punished by heaven, and successfully promoted to the saint realm.

He also used his body and soul to eliminate the evil spirit, making his future advancement path smooth.

The road to promotion is smooth...

Even as a Zhenwu Emperor, he couldn't imagine it.

This is originally a good thing and is more rewarding than the success of enlightenment.

But now he couldn't be happy at all.

Guilt and remorse flooded into his heart instantly, taking over his thoughts and emotions.

He couldn't help but wonder if the ending of Qiankun would have been different if he hadn't targeted Xuanmen like that...

The ends of the painting scholar's eyes turned red, making his already gorgeous red phoenix eyes look even more beautiful.

It's just that there are emotions in these beautiful eyebrows that no one can pry into.

------

Two figures broke into Qianque Pavilion silently.

When they stepped inside, they saw the scholar Danqing standing there motionless, looking in extreme pain.

"Xiaowu, oh no! We seem to be late, the Xuanmen Sect Master is gone." Dongji Yuanzun said through the barrier.

"Yeah." Diwu turned around and was about to leave.

Dongji Yuanzun stopped Di Wu and said: "Xiao Wu, wait a moment, I will check what happened before."

Dongji Yuanzun started to look back in time.

In an instant, the expressions on his face were brilliant. Because the expressions changed so quickly, he almost suffered from facial cramps.

"Xiao Wu, Xuanmen is really as despicable and shameless as it was back then!"

Hearing Dongji Yuanzun's voice, Diwu looked at Dongji with questioning eyes.

Dongji clicked his tongue twice before explaining: "The master of Xuanmen was in the realm of a saint before he died and disappeared. My time retrieval is useless to him. However, I can see many things clearly through the perspective of a painting scholar."

Why! ——

Dongji sighed, frowned, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Xiao Wu, compared with the painting scholar, I finally understand why Cang Xuanji fell into the trap of Emperor Qiong Ling."

After Dongji finished speaking, he recalled the past and came to a terrible conclusion.

Since ancient times, no one can escape the trap designed by Xuanmen.

Only when the last trace of value is squeezed out will it stop.

"Xiao Wu, Xuanmen's routines are interlocking and airtight. Even if you are outside, you may not be able to see them clearly. People who are in the situation can't get rid of them. We should stay away from Xuanmen people in the future. Far away?"

"What happened?" Diwu asked coldly.

Dong Ji reacted and said to Di Wu: "Xiao Wu, can you guess the identity of the painter scholar before? I guarantee you can guess it."

"Could he be the Zhenwu Emperor?" Di Wu asked suspiciously.

The first time he met the Danqing scholar, he doubted his identity.

It's a pity that the other party has nothing about Emperor Zhenwu except his face.

Dongji nodded and said, "Yes, he is the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu. The reason why he is like this is all because of Xuanmen."

"Before Xuanmen, there were those who rebelled against the gods. They cooperated with Zhenwu to deal with the gods."

"Zhenwu succeeded in killing the god, but was stabbed in the back by Xuanmen. Not only did they stab him in the back, they also made full use of him."

"This group of Xuanmen ancestors used forbidden techniques to tie Zhenwu with them. They used Zhenwu's luck and opportunity to step up to the top."

"And Zhenwu's luck is getting worse and worse, and he himself is aware of the problem."

"So Zhenwu began to regularly kill the Xuanmen sect masters to regain some luck and opportunities."

"But Zhenwu's road to revenge cannot be accomplished overnight. He can only regain some luck by killing the sect leader."

"The ancestors of Xuanmen have thought of this a long time ago and deliberately divided the luck and opportunities of Zhenwu into countless parts to ensure the prosperity of Xuanmen for generations to come."

"But the master of Xuanmen is always killed, which will definitely stagnate the development of Xuanmen."

"The ancestors of Xuanmen have seen this in the long river of time, so they have the chess piece Qiankun."

"Everything has been arranged for Qiankun since he was born."

"When I was young, I was a free and easy casual cultivator, and I met Zhenwu. A young man with high spirits and a pure heart, his actions moved Zhenwu, and the two got to know each other and cherish each other."

"Zhenwu is a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. When Qiankun made friends with him, he was not from Xuanmen and he treated him sincerely."

"But the good times didn't last long. Qiankun received the news that he was the heir to Xuanmen."

"Qiankun is controlled by the rules of Xuanmen, and Zhenwu cannot be told his true identity."

"And the Xuanmen sect leader Zhenwu is about to kill happens to be Qiankun's master."

"This time Zhenwu went to kill the Xuanmen sect leader on time. Qiankun blocked the sword with his body. Zhenwu finally couldn't bear to kill Qiankun and let the Xuanmen sect leader go."

"However, the two of them have gone from being good friends to becoming strangers."

"At this time, Zhenwu's luck has been restored to some extent."

"In fact, Qiankun is also innocent. He was selected by Xuanmen since he was born, and was later sent to get close to Zhenwu. At the right time, he was taken back to Xuanmen..."

"Qiankun probably felt guilty for Zhenwu. When he was about to die, he did not hesitate to die as a martyr just to remove the forbidden technique left on Zhenwu by his ancestors."

"Thus, Zhenwu's freedom is restored, and blessings are given to him, making the path of Zhenwu cultivation smooth."

"This time, Zhenwu was buried in guilt."

"You see for yourself, he is probably very regretful and guilty now. With this guilt towards Qiankun, even if Zhenwu still wants to target Xuanmen, he will be merciful."

"Sacrificing a universe made Zhenwu give up regaining his own destiny, and also made him forgive the entire Xuanmen. If I were not an outsider, I would not be able to see this drama so thoroughly."

After Dongji complained, he felt a chill. Even if he came forward to remind Zhenwu of such a scheme, it would be of no avail.
