After hearing Ouyang Zhao's request, Ling Yun broke his silence.

Well, we have to go to the East Emperor Realm.

Come to think of it, it's quite a coincidence.

Now that he had learned the dragon language and had a drop of Yinglong's blood for Ah Jing to use, all the prerequisites for disguising himself as a dragon had been met.

By the way, I also got the dragon cultivation method from the Jinghu Palace, and took on the task of helping Yinglong find his daughter...

Why is it a daughter again? You bastard fathers, can't you keep a good eye on your daughters?

Ling Yunpo sighed and could only say goodbye to Brother Haizi, then turned and left.

When he returned to the edge of the valley, he saw the Guan family's ancestor and a group of people, waiting there eagerly.

Seeing that he still returned empty-handed (instead of holding the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword), everyone showed obvious surprise, but also a subtle sense of comfort.

"Sorry, ancestor." Ling Yunpo said with a bow.

"It's okay." The Guan family's ancestor could not hide his disappointment, but still asked gently, "What did Ouyang Zhao say?"

"He said he had two conditions." Ling Yunpo replied.

Everyone: ...

The Guan family ancestor's originally disappointed face suddenly burst into an extremely wonderful ecstasy:

"What did he say?! Oh, right! Wait, wait a minute..."

He quickly dragged Ling Yunpo away, and when they were far away where no one could hear him, he asked Ling Yunpo alone:

"What did he say? Two conditions? Tell me in detail, and I will never break my promise."

"The first condition is that he must be a human and cannot be someone with ulterior motives." Ling Yunpo explained.

"Of course." The Guan family's ancestor said without hesitation.

"Ancestor, the one in the sea of ​​fire said that if someone is heartless and only thinks about himself in everything, he is a person with ulterior motives." Ling Yunpo continued.

Guan Family Ancestor: ...

He might as well just say "Get lost, Jueqingliu".

"Ancestor." Ling Yunpo asked curiously, "I only know that because of the incident with the last Sun and Moon Sword Master, there is a strong tendency within Shushan to oppose the Questioning Love School. But in that era, why did the last Sword Master who practiced the Questioning Love School hate the Absolute Love School so much? Could it be that the two schools were already at loggerheads at that time?"

The Guan family's ancestor looked at him deeply, then revealed an intriguing expression and said:

“This is a dispute over orthodoxy.”

"Taoism?" Ling Yun broke the silence for a moment and asked, "Senior Sister Guan told me that it probably involves the Dao Heart."

"It's not just about the heart of Tao." The Guan family ancestor said calmly, "Do you know that immortals also have different levels?"

"Ancestor, are you referring to the Earth Immortals, Heaven Immortals, Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals?" Ling Yunpo asked seriously.

"That's right." Guan Family Patriarch twirled his beard and said, "In the early ancient times, there weren't actually so many levels."

"Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals together make up the immortals. Earthly Immortals are immortals who have practiced with their primordial spirits after their physical bodies have been extinguished. Since they had defects in their physical bodies, they were not considered immortals at the time."

"Later, the methods of becoming a celestial being were gradually perfected, and the term 'celestial being' came into being."

"The so-called 'Path to Heavenly Immortals' means that if one's cultivation realm has not reached the Golden Immortal threshold, but one does not want to give up the physical body, then one must sever the three corpses in the spirit and soul, thus alleviating the burden of ascension from another direction."

"The upper corpse likes finery, the middle corpse likes delicious food, and the lower corpse is thirsty for desire. If you kill these three corpses, you will no longer be able to see beauty or ugliness, or taste flavors. All desires will disappear, leaving only a pure desire to seek the truth."

Ling Yunpo listened carefully and thought, isn’t this psychological castration?

So the essence of being a celestial being is to be castrated to become an immortal, right?

"Who doesn't want to become an immortal on the road of cultivation?" The Guan family's ancestor sighed, "Since there is a way to become a celestial immortal, there must be people who cannot reach the golden immortal realm and strive to move in this direction. This is the origin of the 'Jueqing Style'."

"After all, if you are indifferent to desires from the very beginning, then when the time comes, it will be easy to just cut it off with a single blow."

"So it means 'preserve the laws of nature and eliminate human desires', right?" Ling Yunpo understood it immediately.

"That's right." The Guan family's ancestor nodded and said, "To reach the Golden Immortal realm, how difficult is it? Both the Golden Pill and the Fetal Immortal must be of the highest quality. If one of these is not satisfied, then there is no hope at all."

"In other words, if one cannot become a Golden Immortal, then the lower limit of the Jueqing School is higher than that of other schools."

"Earthly immortals have to go through tribulations every ten thousand years, but celestial immortals don't. This alone is enough to attract most cultivators to the path of ruthlessness."

“Some cultivators who originally had partners or families later realized that they had no hope of becoming Golden Immortals. In order to sever their ties early, they even killed their wives and children, giving the Jueqing School an extremely bad reputation.”

"Ouyang Zhao would have such a prejudice mainly because of that era. The impression left by the Jueqing School was indeed unbearable."

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion." Ling Yunpo thanked him sincerely and said:

"Then Ouyang Zhao's second condition is to confirm the status of Yin Xiaojing who returned to the East Emperor Demon Realm that year, and his posthumous child."

Upon hearing this, the Guan family's ancestor's face immediately stiffened.

"He wants us to go to the Donghuang Demon Realm to investigate the whereabouts of his wife from one hundred thousand years ago?" he asked with a gloomy face.

"That's right." Ling Yunpo sighed, "He claimed that this was the source of his obsession."

"What's even more troublesome is that he is unwilling to disperse the Sun's True Fire because he is worried that we will snatch the Sun's True Sword."

The Guan family's ancestor was so angry that he laughed:

"What does he mean? If we can pass through the Sun's True Fire and enter the East Emperor Demon Realm, why don't we just take the sword and leave?"

He simply pulled Lingyunpo up, passed through the bushes and wasteland gravel again, came to the boiling spring, and asked loudly:

"Ouyang Zhao! To go to the East Emperor Demon Realm, you must go through the gate. If you don't disperse this Sun True Fire, how can we get through and find the whereabouts of your wife for you?"

After a while, a voice came from the sea of ​​fire:

"I don't care."

The ancestor of the Guan family almost vomited blood. What Ling Yunpo said was indeed true!

"I am Ouyang Zhao's obsession." The voice in the sea of ​​fire said, "He wants two things: to confirm the whereabouts of his wife, and to ensure that the Taiyang Zhenmei Sword is not entrusted to the wrong person."

"These two points must be accomplished at the same time. As for how to achieve them, I don't know. I am just an obsession. I have only inherited Ouyang Zhao's memories, personality and emotions. I don't have the ability to think in complex ways."

"That should be reasonable!" The Guan family's ancestor was furious. He had finally passed this checkpoint that he had been thinking about, only to find that it was a dead end. How could he not be angry?

"With your conditions, no one can do it even in a million years, let alone a hundred thousand years!"

"No, I believe he can do it." said the voice in the sea of ​​fire.

The Guan family's ancestor was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted - this guy was talking about Ling Yunpo.

"From the moment I saw him, I knew that he was the key I had been waiting for a hundred thousand years." The voice in the sea of ​​fire said, "Beyond that, I can't say anything more."

The Guan family's ancestor turned around expressionlessly and gave Ling Yunpo a look.

Ling Yunpo cooperated by making a confused expression.

"Okay." The Guan family's ancestor had no choice but to give up, "Then leave it to him."

He turned around indifferently, took out the Qingling Divine Pearl from his sleeve and threw it directly to Ling Yunpo.

"Thank you, ancestor." Ling Yunpo said quickly, "But this result is still unsatisfactory..."

"Stop talking." The Guan family's ancestor was discouraged and walked out of the valley, sighing and saying:

"Let's stop here for now to find the sword."
