"And then what? Did Long Chengxiu's ordeal pass peacefully?" Qin Nan continued to ask curiously.
"That was really unsettling. I don't remember the past at that time, and I only got to know him because of his misfortune."
"What kind of calamity is he facing?"
Before encountering Mu Qiu, he was focused on cultivation and had no distractions. Although his cultivation level was high, he still faced a bottleneck.
When he first met Mu Qiu, he was fighting with Meng Zhang in order to break through his bottleneck.
It's a pity that his wish didn't come true. Even though Meng Zhang was nearly equal to him, they weren't really enemies after all.
Later, because of the late autumn, he followed Bai Yu's advice and, with Bai Jue's help, used Bodhi seeds to comprehend worldly affairs and cultivate his mind, and his personality became no different from it now.
After waking up, he bound Muqiu and kept her in the Dragon Palace for over two hundred years, so she probably didn't cultivate much.
But strangely, his bottleneck loosened, and thus his doom arrived.
"Then why did he come to the human world?"
"Because Grandpa Dragon gained enlightenment while living in the human world."
"Huh?" Qin Nan turned his head in surprise and saw Bai Moxuan, who had been fast asleep, blinking at him.
Qin Nan immediately turned over, wanting to pull Bai Moxuan into her arms, but Bai Hao pressed her down, and she ended up lying flat.
Bai Moxuan and Bai Hao leaned against Qin Nan on either side.
"And then what happened?"
"Later, Grandpa Dragon and Uncle Qiu traveled in the human world for five years. Grandpa Dragon suddenly attained enlightenment and faced the Heavenly Tribulation."
However, Grandpa Long is a dragon from the Mountain and Sea Realm, so he only began his tribulation after returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Uncle Qiu didn't know at first that Grandpa Dragon had come to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, so when Grandpa Dragon returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm to undergo his heavenly tribulation, Uncle Qiu thought it was a good opportunity and ran away.
"Huh? Did he find out later?"
"I know, he went to find Bai Shujin, and Bai Jue happened to be there. He asked him why he didn't accompany Long Chengxiu through his tribulation."
Upon learning this, he immediately returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, it was a bit late. Due to a calamity, Long Chengxiu had no choice but to go into seclusion for over a hundred years, and he did not see anyone.
Bai Muqiu guarded Long Chengxiu's pass for over a hundred years, until Long Chengxiu broke through and emerged.
"He's not running away anymore?"
“Run, why don’t you run? You’re so stubborn. You’ve accepted Long Chengxiu but you won’t admit it. Long Chengxiu just spoils you and lets you cause trouble.”
"Haha, that's just how Muqiu is."
"However, at that time, the Dragon Clan also encountered some trouble. A calamity beast was born in the deep sea bay at the end of the East Sea, causing chaos in the East Sea. At that time, only Xi Rou was stationed in the East Sea and suffered a lot. She was also proud and refused to ask for help, bearing the burden alone."
When Meng Zhang returned, Xi Rou had already led the sea creatures to clean up the battlefield and recuperate.
After that, Meng Zhang stopped leaving the East Sea for long periods and changed his ways.
After Long Chengxiu left seclusion, he no longer took charge of the affairs of the East China Sea, handing them all over to Xi Rou. He was only nominally in charge, occasionally taking action.
In late autumn, he preferred the human world, so Long Chengxiu accompanied him there.
"Well, to be honest, the first time I met him, when he came to the Qin residence, he was smoking, which really didn't suit his status."
"Oh, he also has businesses in the human world, but they are just a means of social interaction. However, he doesn't have to do it himself now, as divine beasts are favored by him and do things for him."
"Huh? What happened in Suzhou City..."
"He already knows, and naturally he has his own plans."
"How is Su Zhou now...?"
"Um……"
Bai Hao pondered for a moment, considering how to phrase it.
Bai Moxuan held Qin Nan's arm and looked up at Bai Hao. "Father, Dad won't interfere. Can Ranran tell him?"
Bai Hao glanced at the little cub, considered for a moment, and said, "Okay."
"Father, many, many people have died in Su Zhou now. There are many ghost messengers there, not only ghost messengers, but also ghost soldiers patrolling, and the wandering gods are constantly inspecting day and night."
However, all of this was planned by that uncle. He set up the formation to capture the vengeful spirits.
Not only in Suzhou City, but also in the underworld, there was a smuggling formation on the Yellow Springs Road, and many evil spirits from the underworld escaped and slipped into the human world.
The Kings of Hell in the underworld are currently dealing with this matter in a state of great difficulty.
In an attempt to resurrect the person he loved, the uncle used a bizarre forbidden technique. Originally intended to grant immortality, he ended up being half-human and half-ghost, and later shattered into many pieces. He then used a mirror technique to repair them.
However, the mirror is broken and is still with Uncle Qiu.
"Is he human? An ordinary person?"
"Yes, he was indeed just an ordinary person, but not entirely. He later learned Taoist arts and mystical arts, and could be considered a half-immortal."
The person he loved was just an ordinary person, unable to escape birth, aging, sickness, and death, and died young.
He used a secret technique to preserve his soul, finding him a body to resurrect him, but the aftereffects of this technique, which defied the laws of nature, were severe. Unable to bear seeing his beloved suffer to be with him, he tirelessly researched new methods. "Bai Hao replied.
"That person also wants to live?"
"Who would want to die if they could live? The instinct to survive is the instinct of all living things."
"That's true, but to kill innocent people so indiscriminately for one's own selfish desires, disregarding human life..."
"They're bad guys!"
Bai Moxuan raised his hand to answer.
Qin Nan smiled and pulled Bai Moxuan's small hand back under the covers. "Yes, he's a bad guy!"
Bai Hao couldn't help but smile as he watched the interaction between the two.
"They are indeed evil, but they will not succeed."
Their destiny was not yet over. Even if they passed away one after the other and entered the underworld to be reincarnated, they would still meet and fall in love again. This was their unwavering commitment in this life.
"It failed? Then what did Chunhu Fei see before?"
"It's just an experiment. It hollows out the living soul of a person, but keeps them alive. Then it fills them with the soul of a dead person, escaping the eyes of the ghost messengers and stealing the life force and destiny of others. This kind of thing can't last long."
"So they disappeared because they no longer wanted their bodies?"
"Yes, just like the ghost in the Painted Skin ghost, which can change into human skin, it changes into a different vessel."
"Where are they now?"
"At the heart of Su Zhou's formation, the true formation has not yet begun. Once activated, it will be a calamity."
"Can't be saved?"
"Fate is as it is, and cannot be changed at will."
"So, will many more people die?"
"Yes, it's unavoidable."
"Is there a solution to this disaster? We can't just let them harm more people, can we?"
"Yes, there is calamity, and with it comes the changes to cope with it. These changes occur in the human realm, where there are Xuanmen cultivators, as well as demon cultivators and immortal ghosts. The calamities of the human realm are to be faced by the people themselves."
"Bai Hao".
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"When I was an ordinary person, I lived in the human world for twenty-eight years, and I never encountered anything. You mentioned cultivators, ghosts, demons, immortals, and so on, but I never saw any divine beasts."
It wasn't until I met you that I realized what the world was like; before that, I always thought it was just an ordinary world.
"It also depends on luck. Some people will never encounter it in their entire lives, while others can't escape it no matter how hard they try."
