Huaiye nodded: "Of course I've thought about it, and I've thought about it for a very long time. Apart from those whose lifespans are nearing their end, not everyone wants to take such a risk. And the reason for this is a plan made by the Immortal Clan."
A-Jiang did not interrupt him.
Huaiye continued, "Actually, the true form of the fox demon is sealed in Baiyujing, but the place where the accident first occurred was not there."
"Did some other demon accidentally break a seal? What would happen then?"
"Several hundred years ago, a Phantom Spirit Palace appeared near Qingqiu. It was later wiped out by the Daoist sect. It was at this time that everyone realized that the seal on Qingqiu had been broken. They searched the Phantom Spirit Palace but found no trace of it. It wasn't until a Nascent Soul stage array master studied the seal that he discovered something strange about it. If the seal's array were to operate for a thousand years, the tail of this demon fox might be able to transform back into a complete demon fox."
Ah Jiang felt a little dizzy. Could it really be like that?
Huaiye continued, "This is why those people dared to defy the world and break the seal on the Nine-Tailed Fox."
Ajahn blurted out, "They want to create a nine-tailed fox themselves?"
Huaiye nodded.
A-Jiang let out a breath. These people are really wildly imaginative and audacious!
"How many seals have been broken so far?" Ajahn asked him.
Huaiye frowned and said, "There should be five locations, with the Nine-Tailed Fox occupying three and the new Nine-Tailed Fox occupying two."
A-Jiang inhaled: "So now the Azure Lotus Sect is extremely important. Both sides want that tail?"
Huaiye said, "Compared to other places, the seals here at the Qinglian Sect are probably like something lying on the ground waiting for someone to pick them up."
Ajahn remained silent.
Huai Ye looked at her in surprise and said, "What, doesn't Master want to go back to protect the sect?"
Ah Jiang smiled and said calmly, "With my current level of cultivation, I can't be of much help staying there. My master might even have to take care of me. It's better to improve my strength outside and do my best to contribute."
Huaiye nodded and said, "I didn't expect that Master, despite his young age, would be so insightful."
"By the way, is it so easy for you demons to achieve enlightenment?"
Ajahn asked, recalling what had happened earlier.
"I must thank my master for his guidance."
Huaiye bowed respectfully before saying, "In fact, it is extremely difficult for us wood spirits to cultivate, much more difficult than for ordinary demon beasts. We have no lineage, and unless we encounter a great opportunity, we can only cultivate spiritual awareness. After that, we can only stay in one place day after day, without anyone to teach us. Before we can take human form, we rely almost entirely on instinct to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This is a level of tedium and difficulty that humans cannot imagine."
"For ordinary people, a single insight about the Tao can be passed down from word to word and gradually become widely known, but then they no longer pay attention to it. However, when such a sentence comes to us, it is as if it has a majestic power, which makes us feel awe and allows us to better feel the truth in it."
Ajahn nodded, understanding his meaning. It was like comparing a land in a long drought to a place with favorable weather; the significance of rainwater was different for them.
"Is this why most of you demons, after cultivating into human form, are willing to come down to the human world to play?"
Huaiye nodded and said, "That's the main reason. However, human culture is too rich, and many demons have forgotten their true nature and gradually become lost."
Ajahn nodded in agreement. Many animals are content as long as their primal desires are satisfied, but humans seem to be born wanting more, and she doesn't know why.
Seeing that A-Jiang had finished packing, Huai-Ye summoned his flying shuttle and prepared to continue his journey.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Huaiye stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I haven't decided where to go yet."
"Weren't you going to Tianyu City to visit relatives?"
Huaiye was a little curious. Had she changed her mind?
Ah Jiang has been thinking a lot these past few days. If Linglong and Xiaopang aren't in Tianyu City, then there's no point in going back. But she still wants to visit her grandmother.
"How about this, you walk me part of the way, and I'll walk the rest myself."
Huaiye escorted Ajiang out of the Qinglian Sect's territory, thus avoiding possible surveillance, and was mostly relieved. He then departed on the clouds.
Ajahn first found a quiet, secluded place and set up an isolation array to test his summoning spell.
She took the golden book out of the void and infused it with spiritual power.
The golden cover glowed, and the heads of the two monsters on it lit up.
Two humanoid monsters appeared in front of her.
"Owner."
"Owner."
Two three-meter-tall guardian beasts knelt before her, offering their loyalty.
A-Jiang was very satisfied and much more respectful than the first time.
Next, summon the spirit beasts from the Lotus World: Xionglan, Qingniao, Luanniao, Fengyihu, Jiayuwang, and Sanweiyaohu.
After summoning these spirit beasts, A-Jiang felt his spiritual energy being consumed very quickly and that he probably couldn't maintain it for long.
Moreover, she could sense that Ao Yin and Jiao Duan were consuming the most spiritual energy.
Sure enough, although his body had changed a lot, summoning a guardian beast of this level was still a struggle.
"And then there's the Red Dragon. If we can't summon him when we're in danger, all the effort we've put in will have been for nothing!"
Ajiang recalled his summoned beast, tore off the isolation array, and sat down under a big tree to think.
"My master said that the current cultivation system is not suitable for me, and that I should develop my own bloodline power, which is more suitable for me."
"However, currently the method of bloodline cultivation is only known among the high-ranking members of the demon race; there are no detailed records of it among the human race. This will depend on my own destiny."
"This is probably why my master sent me down the mountain to gain experience. Only through continuous exploration and experimentation can I learn how to use my own power."
