Chapter 317 - 205: The Taoist Lord Becomes an Immortal_2
"If one can become Immortal, why not gamble on it once more?"
The Lord Emperor is indisputably cold-blooded, not unlike a devil, growing more devil-like by the moment.
The words of Qingcang just now, "He who cultivates the path without cultivating virtue is no different from a devil," seemed particularly appropriate.
He continued to speak:
"After the younger generation unified the Immortal Land, without yet employing human and material resources to search for the Immortality Pill, it actively presented itself to me, wishing to use the power of the dynasty to gather Spiritual Objects from all over the world."
Qingcang felt a faint sound stir beside his ear but paid no attention, gesturing for the Lord Emperor to go on.
"I realized there was something amiss with the Alchemy method, so I took action first, but unexpectedly, it escaped. You should know what happened next. Its false body escaped while the true body entered the cauldron, which I hadn’t considered. It wasn’t until the Heavenly Girl got the Immortality Pill and you didn’t resurrect that it dawned on me."
Throughout his words, the Lord Emperor was filled with boundless confusion and perplexity.
If it had not been the Heavenly Girl scaring me in disguise, then Qingcang’s refusal to rely on the Immortality Pill for revival was probably his last burst of radiance. Otherwise, the Daoist Sect would not have encountered the various tribulations it had faced.
But on the other hand, Immortals inherently have the potential to revive, so why have this last burst of radiance now?
