Chapter 228
Gu Shihan grabbed Yu Tong who was about to run away and asked, "Jinwu, tell me, why?!"
Jinwu looked at Xingbai and Yutong and said calmly, "Hundreds of thousands of years ago, a catastrophe occurred in the fairy world. Humans, demons, and monsters were forced to go into the water. This catastrophe lasted for a whole thousand years and was extremely tragic. Countless people were killed and injured.
Later, humans, demons and monsters joined forces. In order to save this world, the monk of merit blew up most of his magic weapons of light. The ancestors of the demon race's nine-tailed sky fox were born and raised by nature. They sacrificed themselves, along with high-level monsters of various races, true demons and monks of merit.
Only then were we able to suppress the invasion from the outside world, patch up the loopholes, preserve the fairyland, and protect the immortal creatures, of which my Golden Crow clan was one.”
"So that's how it is! Jinwu, why is it our race that was extinct?" Xingbai asked.
Jin Wu thought for a moment and said, "We can't say they are extinct. The situation was urgent at the time, and the ancestor of the Sky Fox clan, Jiujiang, proposed the method of dissolving the sea with blood to preserve the bloodline of the clan."
"Stop! Jinwu, what does it mean to dissolve the sea in blood? To preserve the bloodline of the race?" Yu Tong asked anxiously.
“This is a long story. Because of the catastrophe, a large number of cultivators, great demons, and true demons perished. Everyone should also know that it is not easy for the demon and monster races to give birth to offspring.
The method of melting the sea with blood is to let the fertile people in the tribe marry on their own, of course basically they can marry within the same tribe.
The fox clan is a huge clan, and each clan has its own strengths and weaknesses. Nowadays, the most noble bloodline of the fox clan in the fairy world is the nine-tailed fox. They can also be said to be the closest descendants of the sky fox clan, inheriting most of the abilities of the nine-tailed sky fox, but without the nine-tailed sky fire.
The Nine-Tailed Sky Fire is the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox's innate flame, and is ranked in the top three on the Strange Fire List. Without the Nine-Tailed Sky Fire, the Nine-Tailed Fox is no longer a Sky Fox, and the Sky Fox is extinct."
"I see, Jinwu, is it the same for our Fire Phoenix clan?"
“That’s true. The Fire Phoenix clan no longer has any pure Fire Phoenixes. It’s just that the existence of the Phoenix Fire has continued.” Jin Wu said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Jinwu, the heart of the world has been corroded. What should we do?" Xingbai asked.
"How to do it? There are only two ways. One is to replace the heart of the world, and the other is to purify the heart of the world!" Jinwu said seriously.
"Replace the Heart of the World? How is that possible? Where can we get the Heart of the World? The first point is impossible. As for the second point, purifying the Heart of the World, we have limited abilities and I'm afraid we can't do it!" Gu Jiahui said with a look of defeat.
There was a strange silence for a moment. Xingbai looked solemn after listening to Jinwu's words.
He used his magical powers to carefully observe the black silk threads, muttering, "My ancestors sacrificed themselves, they certainly didn't want to see the fairy world in this state now."
Gu Shihan stepped forward, "Xingbai, do you have any solution?" Xingbai turned around, "My blood may be able to temporarily suppress these black threads, but it is probably impossible to completely remove them."
"It's indeed impossible. Some people have tried methods that only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Once the suppression period is over, the rebound will be even worse than before. This is why no one dares to try it anymore." Jin Wu sighed.
"What should we do then?" Yu Tong asked anxiously.
"If you want to solve the problem once and for all, the best way is to replace the Heart of the World. It's a pity that that magical object is gone!" Jinwu said with a look of melancholy.
Xing Bai took a step forward and asked anxiously, "Jinwu, tell us, what is this divine object?"
"This is a long story. There was a female fairy in the human race named Qingchen. She had an object in her hand. If that object was still there, perhaps the heart of the world had already grown inside it. However, when Fairy Qingchen died, this magical object disappeared." Jinwu said in a low voice.
"Moonlight Bracelet?!" Xingbai blurts out.
"How do you know it's the Yuehua Bracelet? Who are you? And is Fairy Qingchen still alive?" Jinwu asked several questions in a row, bringing Xingbai back to his senses suddenly.
Xing Bai regained consciousness and said, "We once saw a trace of Fairy Qingchen's spirit in a secret place."
Everyone retreated, firstly to wait for Mo Yu and the others to come, and secondly to think of countermeasures.
"Hanhan, I checked the Moonlight Bracelet and found that the Heart of the World is indeed inside it, but it is still a little immature. It is not impossible to take it out, but I am afraid that the grade of the Moonlight Bracelet will be downgraded again, and I will fall into a deep sleep."
"Xingbai, is there no other way? Since it's a replacement, can't the replaced Heart of the World be put into the Moonlight Bracelet? You know, the Moonlight Bracelet itself has a purifying function. The Heart of the World that has been corroded over time can definitely be purified." Gu Shihan said thoughtfully.
"This... Hanhan, the risk of doing this is too great. Back then, Fairy Qingchen was surrounded and attacked because someone knew that the Yuehua bracelet was actually a small world. That's why she was coveted by others and ended up... Hanhan, we can't take risks! There are many people with high cultivation in the fairy world, and there are many ways to investigate. We need to be very careful."
"Xingbai, you are right. Even if we want to use the Heart of the World in the Yuehua Bracelet, we need to do it perfectly so that no one notices anything unusual!" Gu Shihan nodded.
"Xingbai, what are you mumbling about?" Jinwu paced over.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about how to remove the black thread on the Heart of the World. Jinwu, do you know what that black thread is?" Xingbai asked with his eyes rolling.
"You're thinking about how to get rid of something without even knowing what it is? You're too..." Jin Wu said in surprise.
Gu Shihan said with a smile: "Golden Crow, we definitely don't know?! You are guarding here, you should know a lot. Since we are going to think of a countermeasure, just tell us about its origin!"
Jinwu shook the few feathers on his body and said proudly, "Of course, those black silk threads... those black silk threads are a kind of dark silk thread, which is said to be connected to a certain place outside, which is the only way to maintain its continued existence and growth.
Perhaps the place it is connected to is too far away and too small, which is why it grows so slowly, otherwise the fairyland would have ceased to exist long ago."
"So, if we block its supply, it will not be able to grow?" Yu Tong said.
"In theory, it is possible, but how can we block it? The only thing in the world that can block it is probably the Yuehua Bracelet, but it no longer exists, does it?" Jinwu rolled his eyes at Yu Tong and poured cold water on her.
"So there's no way? You said that someone tried to suppress the Heart of the World before. How did they do it?" Yu Tong said.
“How to do it? It’s all about letting our blood flow. The blood of me, Jinwu, Phoenix, Qilin, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Bai Ze, Qingluan and other great monsters with divine bloodline. And it has to be the kind where nine numbers are combined into one. Over the years, I have let their blood flow twice, but I can only suppress it, not cure it. Perhaps the main reason is that we can’t cut off its supply.” Jinwu said dejectedly.
