Chapter 367: A Corner of the Future, Demon Ancestor's Ambition

The Demon Ancestor came quickly and ran away quickly.

Only the confused gods of the immortal sect were left.

Even everyone has their own confusion.

Master Chengkong was still staring at Qingjingzhu, and the unlucky Tongming was still looking at the collapsed hilltop of his own home.

Chief Master Mingde looked towards the direction of the sea, as if wondering why the Great Free Demon Ancestor was running so fast and why he felt frightened.

The great hero Xie Qingxue seemed to be frightened. She first looked at the Qingping Sword with a deep gaze, then looked up at the stars in the sky that had not yet dissipated, blinked her eyes, and showed a rare look of helplessness.

Zheng Fa was also... um, should I say especially, confused.

He turned around and looked at Yan Wushuang behind him. Yan Wushuang raised his head, acting as if nothing had happened, which was a poor performance.

Zheng Fa turned his gaze away from Yan Wushuang and stared at Xie Qingxue who was looking around in the light curtain. No wonder she was the eldest senior sister of Tianhe Sect - her acting skills were much better than your silly junior brother.

You said so, right, Tianhe traitor...Xie Qingxue?

Just at that moment, when Xie Qingxue mobilized all her spiritual power and completely awakened the Qingping Sword, Zheng Fa and the sword had a momentary connection.

And in just this moment, he saw a story full of forbearance and silence that lasted for an era.

He had some feelings in his heart that he had no place to vent, so he could only ask Yan Wushuang a question in the Jade Book of Creation: "Does your Tianhe Sect have five veins?"

"Why are you asking this?" Although Yan Wushuang pretended to be stupid, he responded quickly. However, he added, "The rumor you heard is a bit old. The five veins existed a long time ago. Now there are only four veins, and one vein has disappeared."

Disappearance?

"Was the extinct lineage created by the third disciple of Tianhe Reverend?"

"How do you know?"

There was confusion between the lines of Yan Wushuang's reply. Apparently not many people in Tianhe Sect knew about this kind of history, let alone it being circulated in Xuanwei Realm.

Qingping Sword told me.

In the Qingping Sword, he saw a face that he had seen in the projection of the rocks. That face was pointing the sword at his master in the last years of Master Tianhe.

In his last years, he often looked at the dark night, gently stroked the Qingping sword, and remained silent year after year.

Zheng Fa did not answer any more, his eyes moving back and forth between Xie Qingxue and Qingping Jian.

He kind of understood why this sister was so talkative.

Such a past event will weigh on people's hearts, becoming heavier and heavier until it drives them crazy.

Zheng Fa watched Xie Qingxue walk into the Nine Mountains Realm and sighed softly in his heart. There were some things that Xie Qingxue didn't dare to say, and it was not appropriate for him to say them.

Xie Qingxue showed no signs of abnormality at this moment. She put away the Qingping Sword and looked at Qingjingzhu curiously, her eyes as puzzled as Master Chengkong's.

Master Mingde was puzzled and looked at Xie Qingxue and said, "Fairy Xie, why did the Demon Ancestor escape so quickly?"

Xie Qingxue shook her head, as if she was also confused, and just said: "I think he is probably afraid of the Qingping Sword."

“Qingping Sword…” The head of Mingde looked at the Qingping Sword in her hand, and thought of the scene of the great changes in the world just now. He couldn’t help but show some envy on his face, “Thank you, Fairy. The power of your sect’s sword is really amazing.”

Xie Qingxue lowered her eyes, and she seemed unhappy. Master Mingde felt strange in his heart - what kind of temper does Fairy Xie have? She doesn't like to be praised? But he still changed the subject: "I think this Great Free Demon Ancestor's cultivation has not recovered to its former state. With the Qingping Sword and the Qingjing Bamboo, he is probably afraid of accidents."

This conjecture caused everyone to nod their heads, but Zheng Fa felt a little confused - it seemed that in the eyes of Master Mingde, the Great Free Demon Ancestor was not so strong now?

The head monk Mingde seemed to see through his doubts, and he took the initiative to explain in a gentle manner: "Although Dao Fruit is powerful, it also has its own levels. The power of Dao Fruit involves a lot, but there is one key point..."

Zheng Fa listened carefully, and heard the head monk Mingde say, "How many people practice this fundamental Dafa?"

After hearing this, Zheng Fa was somewhat enlightened. You are just bullying the Great Freedom Demon Sect because there is no one there! However, he was confused again. At this point, he was really confused about what the Dao Fruit was.

But this topic seemed to involve many secrets, and Master Mingde was unwilling to say more. Instead, Xie Qingxue pointed at the Qingjing Bamboo and asked curiously, "Did you grow it?"

"Um."

“…”

Xie Qingxue had an expression on her face that showed she wanted to believe it but didn't dare to believe it.

At this moment, Master Chengkong was startled and suddenly said in a lost voice: "Then...Haori mulberry? No, Fusang tree?"

“It didn’t grow.”

Zheng Fa looked very honest and sincere.

Master Chengkong nodded, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved. He looked at Qingjingzhu and said, "This time, Leiyin Temple is going crazy."

Zheng Fa's face was also a little depressed. He had to take action, but the stronger Qingjing Zhu was, the more Leiyin Temple would care.

"Ha!" The head of Mingde snorted, "I, the Supreme Daoist, have not yet sought an explanation for his betrayal of the Five Sects' alliance. How dare he covet Qingjingzhu?"

"What's more, how can I, a person of great virtue, be bullied by Leiyin Temple?"

Who? Where am I from?

Zheng Fa blinked, feeling something was wrong, and looked towards the Mingde abbot.

The head monk Mingde looked at him with a kind smile on his face: "Chengkong may have told you before that my Supreme Dao has always been inclusive. You are talented and have spiritual plants and special skills, and you have made great contributions to my Supreme Dao!"

"If you join my Supreme Dao, I will guarantee you a position as the leader!"

Master Chengkong opened his mouth and said, "Master, haven't you always looked down on the cultivators from the Xuanwei Realm?"

Now this is happening too fast.

Although he was grumbling in his heart, he couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa expectantly. What Master Mingde said was also what he longed for -

If before he only valued Zheng Fa's talent.

Now... after accepting Zheng Fa, don’t we still have Qing Jing Zhu?

He went out with a broken bamboo and brought back a peerless genius and a complete bamboo. Who dares to say that he doesn't know how to do business?

He has made great contributions to the sect!

Xie Qingxue and other gods from the other three sects were also looking at Zheng Fa at this moment. There was a hint of fear on the faces of the gods from Yao Chi and Hao Rishan. Obviously, Zheng Fa bringing Qing Jing Zhu to join Tai Shang Dao actually made them feel quite pressured.

Zheng Fa glanced at Abbot Mingde and said, "Abbot... you don't seem to be very strong."

This is certainly not the main reason. Joining Tai Shang Dao may have some benefits for him, but he really can't see it now.

But the disadvantages are obvious! Not to mention the matter of Tianhe Venerable, he also has the Nine Transformations...Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method.

The bigger problem now is that a monk cannot betray his own legal system, and this iron rule makes him feel fearful.

He was actually a little confused about this matter. Zheng Fa hadn't figured out why this thing happened - and looking at the appearance of the Netherworld Immortal, didn't he seem to be full of energy?

He couldn't see the secret now.

The problem is, once you enter the Supreme Dao, you also enter the Supreme Dao lineage, and maybe you learn some secret method, becoming like the Great Sage Qingyun, and no longer having control over your life and death.

Don’t learn…

If I don't say it, it might arouse suspicion from others.

Then entering the Supreme Way is like going to college without studying and just skipping classes...it seems to have no meaning.

Master Mingde and others looked at him, and seeing that he was just silent and didn't say anything, they naturally understood.

A hint of joy appeared on the faces of Yao Chi Huashen and the other two, but there was also a hint of confusion.

Master Mingde looked at him deeply, and the smile on his face slowly faded, but he did not say anything else. He just slowly walked out of the Nine Mountains Realm.

Master Chengkong looked at his back, shook his head at Zheng Fa, and followed him.

Zheng Fa looked at the back of Master Mingde and smiled gently at Yan Wushuang who was worried beside him, as if he had expected it.

After all, he and Tai Shang Dao are not of the same kind. They can form a united front, but in Zheng Fa's heart, he has always been self-centered.

When he first entered the Jiushan Sect, he knew that he was incompatible with the Xuanwei Immortal Sect. Now that the Jiushan Realm has finally become his shape, he really doesn't want to get involved in the mess of the Xuanwei Five Sects unless it is absolutely necessary.

The obvious unhappiness of Master Mingde made the scene somewhat awkward, and everyone had nothing to say and could only say goodbye.

However, in the evening, Master Tongming came to the Nine Mountains Realm again.

"Master?"

Master Tongming took out two jade tubes from his sleeve and handed them to Zheng Fa.

"This is?"

"One is the treasure from my Tongming Mountain treasury, and the other is from Master Mingde... No, it's the treasure that Master Chengkong can give..." Master Tongming paused, "Master Mingde gave it to me."

Zheng Fa nodded when he heard this.

He had some understanding of the character of Master Mingde. This man attached great importance to the sect and was old-fashioned. But from the last incident with Hao Risang, it could be seen that this man always kept his word.

I think these two jade tubes are a way of repaying a favor.

As for why it is Master Chengkong’s jade tube… isn’t it because Master Mingde has no money?

"Take a look."

Zheng Fa took the jade tube and took a quick look at it. Most of the treasures in Tongming Mountain were common spiritual materials for cultivation. Their value was not particularly high, but there were many of them.

He looked at Master Tongming, who lowered his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "It's useless..."

“…”

Zheng Fa didn't know what to say, so he just looked at the other jade tube.

The number and variety of treasures in the jade tube given by Master Chengkong were much smaller, but each one was very valuable. Zheng Fa glanced at it and suddenly paused for a moment on the name of an item, then asked, "What is this incense rosary?"

Nowadays, the Fusang tree is in need of incense from all over the world. When Zheng Fa saw the word "incense", he naturally took it to heart.

“This…” Master Tongming really understood, “This is a rare treasure from the Leiyin Temple. I heard that it has miraculous effects on the cave world and is very valuable.”

After hearing this, Zheng Fa was secretly delighted: "I don't have any other requests from the Nine Mountains Realm, just these incense beads..."

Master Tongming thought for a while and said, "This thing is not taboo. I will ask Master Chengkong."

Zheng Fa watched Master Tongming go away, then turned around and saw Mu Qingyan slowly walking towards him.

She walked very slowly, taking one step and stopping two steps at a time, as if she was hesitating. When she saw Zheng Fa standing at the door looking at her, she seemed to dispel her hesitation and walked quickly to Zheng Fa's front.

"Master!"

Zheng Fa watched Mu Qingyan bend her knees and kneel on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Disciple, I have something to report."

Sure enough, the female disciple finally seemed unable to hold back and was about to speak.

Zheng Fa helped her up and brought her into the inner room. He pointed his finger at the Sun and Moon Bell and said, "With the Sun and Moon Bell covering your eyes, no one else in the Nine Mountains can hear you speak."

He was really curious about what secrets this woman had. She seemed to be worried all day long.

result……

"Rebirth?"

He looked at Mu Qingyan carefully, and thought of Lin Bufan again. How about you two chat first?

Mu Qingyan revealed the biggest secret in her heart. She seemed much more relaxed at this moment. She whispered, "Disciple, I dare not lie to you. The Tianhe Secret Realm is what I heard about in my previous life..."

Zheng Fa looked at her and didn't say anything for a long time.

As for the matter of rebirth, he also had some doubts in his heart.

It's not that he doubted Mu Qingyan. If this woman had a conspiracy, it would be better to give other reasons. This statement was too shocking. If she met someone else, she would probably be searched for the soul.

But is it really rebirth?

In other words, what is the so-called rebirth in the Xuanwei Realm? Zheng Fa listened to Mu Qingyan calmly and suddenly asked, "Do you have me in your memory of your previous life?"

“No…” Mu Qingyan was silent for a moment, then answered honestly, “I heard from the Hundred Immortals Alliance that the Jiushan Sect was the first to be exterminated by the Great Freedom Demon Sect. The three Yuanyings of the Jiushan Sect, along with Master Zhang, died in battle.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This... seems like something that Master and Senior Sisters can do.

It does have some credibility.

"Without me..."

This sounds quite strange. Logically speaking, without me, if the Jiushan Sect encountered the emergence of the Great Freedom Demon Sect, they would probably be wiped out.

This development makes sense.

But without myself, this so-called memory of rebirth would be greatly discounted, or at least not have such high value.

"Then why are you saying it now?"

Zheng Fa asked Mu Qingyan directly.

"I...want to take you as my master!"

"ah?"

Mu Qingyan's thoughts surprised Zheng Fa.

Mu Qingyan explained directly: "Although I had some opportunities in my previous life, I was displaced and never encountered a sect like the Nine Mountain Realm..."

After hearing this, Zheng Fa did not comment and just continued to look at Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan's next words made him nod.

"In my previous life, my disciple was only at the Nascent Soul stage at best. It was difficult for him to even reach the Spiritual Transformation stage, let alone fight against the Demon Ancestor."

These words seemed much more sincere than before.

This is the same as the fact that if you are handsome you can only date, and if you are rich you can get married... No matter how good the atmosphere in the Nine Mountains Realm is, or how harmonious the sects are, it would probably be difficult to impress someone like Mu Qingyan who has experienced great hardships.

Only by showing increasingly stronger strength in battle after battle can Mu Qingyan be made to reveal her secrets in the hope of gaining Zheng Fa's support.

"Will you take me as your master?" Zheng Fa thought for a while, looked at Mu Qingyan, and shook his head slightly.

"Master?"

"My cultivation is still low now, and I am busy with many things. If I want to accept a disciple, he must be at least in the Nascent Soul stage."

Mu Qingyan nodded and replied: "Disciple guessed it."

This is actually a common practice among talented people in the spiritual world. They don’t have enough time to make great progress in their early years, so few people accept them as disciples.

But since the Nascent Soul has a long lifespan, there is naturally plenty of time.

For example, the two lineages of disciples in the Jiushan Sect before were all disciples of Yuanying Zhenren and his lackeys.

"Also, I can only say that I don't reject you becoming my disciple."

Mu Qingyan looked up, as if she understood something, and asked with wide eyes: "We need... an exam?"

Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.

"Test... on what?"

"What you learned on University Island before, or will learn in the future..."

This behavior of not marking the key points before the exam, or rather marking a book of key points, made Mu Qingyan tremble her lips, as if she was a little scared.

"After all, you are the reincarnation of the Nascent Soul, and you have a lifetime of experience, and your head is full of secret methods..." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zheng Fa simply said slowly, "No, you can't even pass the exam better than other disciples, right?"

When Mu Qingyan heard this, she was really stimulated. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Absolutely not!"

Zheng Fa nodded with a smile.

He was also relatively optimistic about Mu Qingyan. This disciple had made a great contribution to the "Golden Elixir Project". In fact, in the project team, except for Madam Xuanhua, this person could probably be ranked in the top three. It can be seen that he really has something in his head.

If the theory of rebirth is true, then this person didn't have any master in his previous life, but he was able to reach the Nascent Soul stage. His aptitude, character and understanding are all excellent.

As for letting him take the exam, to be honest, Zheng Fa didn't think it was difficult.

Reborn, how can you not be a little bit more upright? After living two lives, if you can't pass the exams as well as others, isn't it shameful!

The only thing that worries him now is rebirth - but in this matter, it would be safer to put Mu Qingyan in front of him.

Mu Qingyan seemed relieved instead. At first, she found it unbelievable when Zheng Fa said he wanted to take an exam, but later she understood - this meant that the head of the sect did not look at her differently because of her secret.

This was of course beyond her expectations, but it was not a bad thing. On the contrary, it seemed to make her feel more secure.

She heard Zheng Fa ask again: "In your memory, what will the future Xuanwei Realm be like?"

Now that the Great Free Demon Ancestor has appeared and stirred up the situation, the saying that Dao Fruit is immortal makes Zheng Fa quite fearful - how many Dao Fruit people are there in this world? You know, the Xuanwei Realm has a very long history...

"Although I am at the Nascent Soul stage, I have always been a casual cultivator, trying to survive in the cracks between a few major forces. I don't know much about the realm above the Spiritual Transformation stage." Mu Qingyan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"How many major forces?"

“Dongzhou, with the Supreme Dao Kingdom and the Holy Land of Haori Mountain as the most respected, and there are also several major demonic lands.”

"In Xizhou, there seems to be the Leiyin Temple Buddha Land, and the Yaochi Heavenly Palace."

Zheng Fa listened silently. Based on these titles, the five Xuanwei sects might have had people who had achieved Tao fruit descend into the world to expand their influence. This might also be related to how many people practiced their fundamental Dharma.

But... what about Tianhe Sect? "Tianhe Sect..." Mu Qingyan's voice was a little low, "It's dead."

This incident made Zheng Fa's mind confused. Tianhe Sect was gone? But when asked again, Mu Qingyan could not explain the reason for this matter. She just said that this matter was a major event in the future of Xuanwei Realm. The major demon lands and even the four sects of Xuanwei seemed to be involved. When she was at a high level of cultivation, Tianhe Sect had already been destroyed. Most of the rumors were difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Zheng Fa had no choice but to put the matter aside, but he inexplicably felt that this matter might have something to do with Xie Qingxue.

In Zheng Fa's current view, the other things that Mu Qingyan was able to find out were indeed just a rough outline - after all, Zheng Fa was almost getting into the Daoguo circle now.

He asked a few more questions and found that Mu Qingyan knew the most about various secret realms and secret methods. This was consistent with her identity as a casual cultivator, but it was not that helpful to Zheng Fa now - until he thought of another thing:

"What about the Great Free Demon Ancestor?"

"There is no Great Free Demon Ancestor..." Mu Qingyan lowered her head and said something that surprised Zheng Fa, "There is only the Great Free Demon Emperor!"

Demon King?

…

Over the sea, the black moon reappeared, and the Great Free Demon Ancestor and the Netherworld Immortal stood in the void.

The Netherworld Immortal stole a glance at the Demon Ancestor's face, but heard the Great Free Demon Ancestor sigh softly: "Tianhe..."

These words stunned the Nether Immortal. He looked at the Demon Ancestor and finally understood why the Demon Ancestor withdrew so quickly.

Could it be that he sensed the aura of Venerable Tianhe?

"No, it's that sword..." The Great Free Demon Ancestor frowned and pondered for a while before he said with certainty, "There's something strange about that sword."

The Nether Immortal listened and became more and more confused. The Great Free Demon Ancestor obviously would not explain to him, but whispered: "Abi!"

A red fairy sword rushed out from the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of meters deep and stood quietly in front of the three people.

This immortal sword has a strange shape and an evil aura. The Netherworld Immortal felt a chill at the mere sight of it.

The next moment, a blood-red portal appeared in front of the three people.

At this moment, the Netherworld Immortal realized the innocence of the Seven Great Saints! He had never seen the treasure of the cave of the Great Freedom Heaven. Now that he thought about it, it was the Avici Sword.

This magical sword is connected to the Demon Ancestor’s aura, and seems to be the Demon Ancestor’s natal spiritual treasure. In this case, how can the Seven Great Sages seize the Great Freedom Heaven?

The Demon Ancestor took the lead and walked into the Great Freedom Heaven.

The Nether Immortal followed behind, but the residents inside had changed, but the atmosphere had not changed at all:

Thousands and tens of thousands of demons were mating, fighting, and killing each other in front of them, with blood all over their mouths and faces.

This familiar breath actually moved the Netherworld Immortal a little - in the Great Freedom Heaven, whether it is the human race or the demon race, they all seem to be angry and lustful, accustomed to fighting, and indulge in desires all day long, and the animal nature in them is sometimes greater than the human nature.

Now the Netherworld Immortal naturally understood that this was the influence of the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s Dao Fruit.

The secret door opened, naturally attracting the six demon sages in the secret realm to come. A sturdy demon god came from afar, shouting:

"Who comes to my Seven Holy Heavens?"

"Seven Holy Days?"

The Great Free Demon Ancestor chuckled, with anger hidden in his tone. He stretched out his hand and grasped the Avici Sword, without even looking at the six demon gods in front of him, he swung the sword, and the sky and earth in the Great Free Heaven turned into a bloody vortex, sucking in all the demons in the world.

Among the demon race, no matter whether they are gods or the group of demons, no one can escape, and they can't even fight back!

The Great Free Demon Ancestor stretched out his hand and five bloody flags flew out, slowly merging into one in the air and turning into a black flag.

He grabbed the flagpole and threw it into the whirlpool, whispering:

"Billions of demon blood prove my Dao fruit."

As he spoke, thousands of blood-colored patterns gradually appeared on the pure black flag. Among the patterns, there were mundane animals such as jackals, tigers, and leopards, as well as legendary beasts such as the Dapeng and the Xuanwu, and they were even more lifelike.

The black flag slowly fell into the hands of the Great Free Demon Ancestor. The Nether Immortal could feel that the Great Free Demon Ancestor was now several times stronger than before! "Saint Ancestor, this is..." he asked cautiously.

"The Banner of Ten Thousand Demons."

The Great Freedom Demon Ancestor's gaze shifted from the Avici Sword to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Demon King Dao Fruit!"
