"The formation is too difficult..."

"This old lion is really cunning and treacherous. He actually built another layer of demon formation under the ground veins."

"If you don't know enough about the demon race's formation, you may trigger the characteristics of the formation..." During the ritual, Emperor Dongyue frowned and used his own spiritual power to calm the formation that was about to riot. Then he turned around and looked at Qi Wuhuo who was sitting cross-legged and deducing the formation, and said, "Boy, do you understand the demon race's formation and method?"

The young Taoist said, “I only know a little.”

Qi Wuhuo only knew part of the basics and cultivation methods of the demon race from his good friend, the Tiger Mountain God.

Emperor Dongyue frowned and said, "This is not something that can be accomplished with just a little bit of knowledge."

"Among his own foundation, the Buddhist and Taoist formations, as well as the earth vein formations, which are the ones he is least good at, are already so difficult, not to mention the demon foundation formations that he has practiced for ten thousand years. You should take a break for a while, and don't force it. Even if you can't reverse this formation, finding this ritual is already much better than I originally expected."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Qi Wuhuo's shoulder, helping the young Taoist to break free from his current state.

Then he said: "If you continue to deduce, you will waste your soul and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"Now just relax and be at peace."

The young Taoist exhaled slowly, his forehead was aching slightly. Such a huge and complicated formation would consume a huge amount of energy to deduce, it was terrifying. Under such circumstances, if he forced to deduce it, he would not be able to find the flaws, and he might even make mistakes due to exhaustion.

Qi Wuhuo nodded.

He originally thought that he would have to memorize things that he could not understand at the moment.

But the old man did not continue to talk. Instead, he let go of his previous temper and said in a gentler tone, "Don't worry about memorizing those things today. I have thought about it for a long time. Your foundation is solid enough and you know many kinds of magical powers, but you are still lacking a special magical power. I have one here that I can teach you."

"It may be difficult to learn, but I hope you can get the basics of this magical power within a month."

He recited ancient words.

The young Taoist didn't understand what he meant, so the old man asked him to stretch out his hand, and then the old, powerful, wrinkled hand was placed under the young Taoist's palm, and then a mellow Qi rose up. The young Taoist's eyes lit up slightly, and the old man whispered:

“Words and sounds are the original mantras.”

"Repeat after me."

"Holding my name of Mount Dong..."

!!!!!!!

The young Taoist's pupils contracted as he looked at the old man in front of him who was taller than himself even when he was sitting cross-legged.

The old man had experienced countless battles and fights. His eyes bore the marks of time, but he also had the calmness of an old wise man. He said, "This is just a magical power, just like borrowing the power of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods. That's all. Don't think too much about it, kid."

"Just follow me."

The young Taoist looked into the old man's eyes.

Qi Wuhuo actually already knew the old man's determination.

The old man also knew that the child in front of him had seen it.

But they just looked at each other calmly. Finally, the young Taoist spread his palms and chanted:

"Hold [you] the name of Mount Dongyue..."

The old man looked at the child from Jinzhou lovingly, and did not correct his recitation, but continued:

"Protect the common people."

"Protect the common people..."

"Tread on the yin and yang, split the dusk and dawn." "Tread on the yin and yang, split the dusk and dawn..."

The old and clear voice echoed here, and a seal's light slowly emerged in the palm of the young Taoist. This was not the seal of the mountain god of Dongyue, but another kind of characteristic. It was an incomparably heavy mountain, a heavy earth god, and the purest path walked by the emperor named [Dongyue].

The old man withdrew his hand, and the seal spread out in the palm of the young Taoist. He said, "This seal has a magic seal."

"Be sure to remember this."

"It may be difficult to master, but in the next twenty days or so, I will take you to feel the movement of Qi once a day. With your talent, you will definitely be able to learn it, even if it's just imitation, understand?"

The young Taoist sensed a heaviness in the words.

The calmness and ethereal aura of immortals are real, but carrying heavy burdens and moving forward step by step is the persistence of earthly gods.

Only when you see all living beings can you know yourself.

Only at this time can you see all living beings.

It is not like this. It does not touch the original mind and is not [seeing].

It's just like water flowing over the ground, wetting it briefly.

The young Taoist finished the formation for today, and after gaining some insights, he returned. There were still twenty-four days left before the Green Lion ritual, and the progress of changing the formation was only one-tenth. However, this one-tenth had almost exhausted the young Taoist's mind, and his attainments in formation had already far surpassed his past self.

When Qi Wuhuo returned to the yard, he saw Huang Yao again.

Today she was dressed in tight clothes, with a sharp and casual look. Only when she looked at the grinning little Pengcao who was hiding behind a pillar at least ten steps away from her, did she soften her temper a little. She took out all kinds of snacks, piled them on the table, and stretched out her hand to call the little girl over. The little Pengcao almost exploded with anger.

I felt slightly relieved when I saw Qi Wuhuo coming over.

Huang Yao glanced at Qi Wuhuo and greeted him casually: "Oh? The busy man is back?"

Qi Wuhuo looked at the woman in front of him, and said in a gentle and calm tone: "The girl comes here every day."

Huang Yao put down the snacks, leaned against the red railing, casually threw a handful of bait into the lake in the valley, watched the koi carp tumbling to grab the food, and smiled nonchalantly, "If I hadn't come here, the Green Lion might have suspected what you were doing. I came here to find Xiao Pengcao as an excuse, saying that I come here every day to chat with you."

"I'm helping you cover up."

"Even if you don't trust me, you should at least give me some respect."

Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes slightly and said, "Would you like to come and take a look at the little puff grass?"

"However, it is interesting that the [Demon King's Messenger] wants to prevent the Great Sage of the Blue Lion lineage from coming out to help me."

Huang Yao glanced at the young Taoist with his golden eyes, smiling:

"You just noticed it when my name is so prominent?"

The young Taoist said, “Perhaps the name is just a deceptive thing.”

"I just inferred it. There are still six Great Saints left in the demon race. If the Great Saint of the Blue Lion lineage breaks through today, the other Great Saints may not come. But if the Demon King wants to get the title of Demon King and unify the demon race, it is impossible for him not to send an envoy here."

"Oh? Then why don't you think I am the Demon King himself?"

"The demon clan great saints are not of the same clan, and there are many murderous conflicts between them."

"What the Demon King needs is to check and balance the other great saints and maintain the current balance of the demon race. Therefore, he cannot appear here, and the Demon King will not express his goodwill so directly and easily. An envoy, an envoy of high enough status, a blood relative of the Demon King, or a great saint who respects the Demon King, is the best choice."

"The fourth Great Saint of the demon race, who knows the secrets of heaven, claims to be a descendant of Bai Ze's lineage."

"The Saint of Yao."

"Am I wrong?"

Huang Yao's eyes had a dark golden light, and he said, "Interesting."

"So, you're here to confront me?"

Qi Wuhuo said, "I'm just curious, why did you choose to help me... or rather, just sit back and watch my actions." Huang Yao said lazily, "Help you? Don't be so self-indulgent. You're not a little weed, why should I help you?"

"I'm not helping you. I'm just delaying the Blue Lion's breakthrough."

Qi Wuhuo said to himself: "Delay?"

Huang Yao dropped a handful of bait, looked at the koi carps tumbling, and said calmly, "You are right. Among all the spirits, different forces have been formed with several great saints as the core. They are killing or fighting each other. The Demon King wants to recreate the grand scene of the demon race eight thousand years ago."

"He has the skills, the strength, and the ambition, and he also has a reputation that surpasses everything else in the demon race."

"Everything is in line with the premise of the Demon King unifying all the tribes."

The young Taoist said: "But another demon tribe also has these."

Huang Yao laughed and said, "Yes, Blue Lion, you also have a strong foundation, domineering tactics, and your own philosophy in your way of doing things. You can usually chat and laugh with any creature, and you are cheerful and heroic. Once you make a decision, you will be calm and resolute. You are a tyrant who will kill innocent creatures in order to maximize your own goals."

“What a pity…”

"If he breaks through again in five hundred years."

"You will become the next generation of Demon King."

"And now, His Majesty the Demon King has just subdued the other Great Saints and become the [Emperor]. The Great Saints of various tribes only obeyed him out of appearance, but they still have their own determination. It takes time to slowly grind down the arrogance of these Great Saints. At this critical moment, another heroic and domineering hero appears."

"And this hero will have one of the strongest foundations in the world. He is also a hero who once led a clan to rise. He has connections with both the Heavenly Court and the Buddha Kingdom."

"Integrate the various tribes, attack the human world, occupy the mortal world, and then attack the heavens against all odds."

"We must recreate the glory of the ancient times and build the Demon Court."

"Do you think it would be a good thing for two heroes like this to appear at the same time?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "If someone with such a personality and character appears, he can lead the demon race to achieve prosperity."

"The appearance of two will only cause internal strife among the demon race and exhaust the heroes of the entire race."

Huang Yao snapped his fingers and said with a half-smile, "Smart, so now you have a choice between revenge as a Taoist and breaking the path of the Blue Lion's breakthrough; or you can be a strategist in the human world and allow the Blue Lion to rise, and then sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and the internal consumption of the demon clan."

“This is the path of a Taoist, the path of a counselor.”

The young Taoist smiled and said, "Does the Bai Ze clan like people to make choices?"

"The rumors are true. I'm afraid you are not a descendant of Bai Ze."

Huang Yao smiled and said, "I do have Bai Ze's bloodline."

"But don't you think that the struggle and regret shown by living beings in the face of huge choices are quite pleasing? No matter which choice you make, you will regret it anyway..."

"Oh, with that expression of yours, do you mean to say that the Three Pure Ones will not allow the demons to do this?"

Huang Yao looked at Qi Wuhuo with interest and said, "But, have you forgotten it too?"

"The Three Pure Ones, including your teacher."

“They are not human.”

Qi Wuhuo looked at Huang Yao in front of him and said, "Really?"

"The mixed character of the blood of Fuxi and Bai Ze."

“But it’s like this.”

"Because he has insight into the secrets of heaven, it is normal for him to play with everything."

!!!

Huang Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the young Taoist in front of him, he smiled and said:

"Are you testing me because of my obsession with that little weed?"

"What a disgusting insight..."

"In order to avoid Blue Lion's suspicion, I acted very indifferent at first. He is very strong in the overall situation, but you are very calm and delicate. So, you got my information, and I also saw your steps. With Master Wuhuo's personality, do you want to negotiate now?"

"As expected, each of the disciples of the Supreme Master has a completely different style. They are more difficult to deal with than the disciples of the Jade Purity Sect who are all made from the same mold."

The young Taoist said calmly: "I want you to teach me the formation of the demon race."

Huang Yao looked at Qi Wuhuo and said with a smile:

"I am just a half-blood. I don't have the abilities of my ancestor Bai Ze."

“What you see is limited, and it’s easy to spot.”

"According to the situation, helping you will benefit both you and me, but unfortunately, another part of my blood doesn't like being led by the nose, so I refuse. What I like most is to see top counselors and wise men like you show this kind of expression. This is so pleasant."

Huang Yao did not see any anger on the young Taoist's face, so he smiled and turned back, saying: "I will help you delay the Green Lion."

"That's the biggest concession I can make."

"After all, my position is just to hope that he will break through a few hundred years later, rather than that he will die under your scheme."

"Even if you can't kill him, if you damage his foundation or something, I'll be in big trouble."

"You know why I came here, I know your purpose, you know my bloodline, I know your background, we can intimidate each other, it will be much safer, Qi Wuhuo, you are such an interesting person, how about you follow me to the demon court? The demon king wants to swallow up the world, the human race is also one of the myriad spirits, there is no longer a distinction between the human race and the demon race, we are ambitious, whip the world."

"He will definitely like your personality."

The young Taoist said calmly, "No need."

"pity."

Huang Yao looked at the young Taoist standing there. He was clearly in the game, but he felt vague and uncertain. He smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else. He just showed a bright and beautiful smile, waved at Xiao Pengcao, and then left slowly, saying, "Miss Siyou didn't take my pills. You'd better persuade her."

"Otherwise, she will really die."

Qi Wuhuo stood here, feeling peaceful.

Little Pengcao asked curiously, "Master...Wuhuo, are you in trouble?"

The young Taoist rubbed the little guy's head and said, "It's nothing."

The disciples of Sanqing have all experienced tribulations in the mortal world. Having gone through many tribulations, they realized that learning from a master is only the beginning and an insignificant part of their experience. The little guy was puzzled and just ate. At this time, Siyou looked at the elixir under the window with a complicated expression and struggled.

Suddenly, I smelled a burst of flower fragrance. I was slightly startled. I looked up and saw a head popping out from the garden in front of me. It was a handsome Taoist with a shaved beard. He smiled and said:

"Miss Siyou, I haven't seen you for a thousand years. Are you okay?"

And the little peacock flew and flew.

I found myself lost.

Although he had flown into the so-called holy land, he didn't know why it was so big, so--big! The little peacock almost felt dizzy. How could Aqi hide his aura so well and be so hard to find?

The little peacock felt dizzy, and while flying and searching, he suddenly didn't pay attention and crashed into a wall, and was knocked down. He felt dizzy and dazed, and when he looked carefully, he found that the person in front of him was not a wall, nor the air he sensed, but a middle-aged man in green clothes and with messy hair.

The Green Lion touched his chin, puzzled: "Hmm? This aura is from Jiu Ling?"

"That kid with the nine-headed lion."

"Did they find a female peacock as my apprentice's wife, and she gave birth to this weird guy?"
