Chapter 51 The Power of Male Instinct and Celestial Bones, the Azure Dragon Awakens...
51
Some people's eyes can instantly shift from childhood to adulthood.
Miao Jue looked at the dust before him and picked it up.
This is a golden crow in its prime, fully grown, and rising to prominence.
He suddenly pecked you.
Her bright, sparkling eyes were still moving, and she licked her beautiful lips as if this bite was just an appetizer.
This moment serves as a reminder of the key—
Even birds are ferocious predators that fly high and low.
A peck suddenly changed the atmosphere, and the air swayed gently as they returned to their ancestral land.
After a moment of arrogance, Chen Jinshi finally tensed up and coughed twice.
He glanced down at her lips, then coughed twice.
Miao Jue rubbed her cheeks; the area under her fingertips was a little warm. She looked away and deliberately muttered in a low voice, "Some people, they've lost their hearts, how can they still be so arrogant..."
The man, who had been heartbroken, immediately perked up, his long eyes sparkling with interest: "Don't worry, little sapling, this is a male animal's mating instinct. Even if I lose my heart, liver, kidneys, skull, tailbone, flight feathers, and tail feathers, I can still be male—"
Miaojue angrily retorted, "Can't you curse yourself a little better?!"
She interrupted him, covered her ears, and ran to her older siblings.
The people behind him chuckled smugly.
His dark, long gaze followed her into the distance, past the last high wall of the maze.
Dust settled before him, and all he could see were scenes from their childhood: everyone crammed together among those small hills, with nothing to eat or drink, yet those were the best days of their lives.
But now, what he sees—
Fuji supported Yang Wu, while giving the other arm to Xian Ba. Zhu Jiu, a big guy, followed behind in a muffled voice, looking back to see if his brat had bullied anyone. Gui Liu and Ling Qi were arguing about whether swimming or flying was more important.
As far as he could see, most of them had returned; only the last bit remained.
He looked at the girl whose face was reddening as everyone asked her why, and chuckled even louder.
The person he once thought was the hardest to find, the one he thought could only be found by refining the Langhuan Destiny Seal, had returned to them as an even more powerful being. Wei Yi, was this all part of her plan?
He stared at Miao Jue's taut, slender back, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. He tapped his fingertips lightly beneath his sleeve, and ashes, like feathers, drifted down into his palm.
The sapling is dressed in new clothes.
He will knit her another one using the best he has.
When he was a child, he was always worried about this little girl who had fallen from the sky, because life was too long for a person born in the underworld, and she could only live for the time it took him to take a nap.
After reaching the Xuan Bone level, she was almost on par with the Netherworld Clan. Was this the only one she could think of?
...
Miaojue sensed the gaze behind her, but didn't turn around, silently looking ahead.
The entire Langhuan was in turmoil due to the shattering of the Heavenly Mandate Seal, yet at this moment they casually entered the inner ring.
Everything before my eyes was unfamiliar. The elegant pavilions and towers complemented the pure white maze, and even the ground was paved with white bricks and stones, untouched by dust for hundreds of years, echoing the principle of the immortal Langhuan who was untouched by karma.
From the moment they entered, the elegant houses with soaring eaves were surrounded by clusters of spiritual trees and flowers, enveloped in a misty, ethereal atmosphere. The doors were adorned with the snow wave totem of the Gongyu family, occupying the most spiritually rich spots, but the houses were now all empty.
The members of the Underworld Clan stared blankly for a moment.
These exquisite courtyard dwellings are a far cry from their animal-like lives, where they lived under the open sky. The dilapidated thatched huts and tiled houses that later became part of the village are worlds apart from what we see now. It's no wonder that Miaomiao has never looked down on them.
Xianba sighed slowly, "It's really changed a lot."
Miaojue looked around and saw that even though everything had changed, the ancestral land still stubbornly retained a subtle sense of familiarity for them.
The contours of the hillsides, the distance between the mountains, the direction of the streams, the softness and moisture of the soil—these imprints on the land cannot be changed.
This is her childhood, which she lost and then regained.
Chen Jinshi had somehow gotten close to Miao Jue's side.
Miao Jue had a question in her mind, so she covered her mouth and asked him in a low voice, "Back then, after you were born, the Dongfang and Gongyu families discovered that the flesh and blood of the Netherworld Clan could be used for advancement. Then, Second Brother led everyone away and hid, and that's how I happened to appear, right?"
Chen Jinshi held her hand with his fingertips and nodded casually: "Yes."
Miaojue looked puzzled: "Then why does this place feel familiar to me?" Logically, she should be familiar with their secluded place.
“Because that’s actually the same place as here, but not on the same level,” Chen Jinshi explained in a low voice, squeezing her soft palm that could hold the universe, “...that’s the only ability.”
The brilliant idea elicited an "Ah!"
space…
Different dimensions within the same space.
Miao Jue felt a chord gently plucked in her mind, and she suddenly understood why Wei Yi had arranged things this way. Because she could divide space with the extreme points of the ice bones, she also thought of manipulating time in some way.
We must find her…
Where could this woman, who has arranged everything but never shown herself, possibly be?
Miaojue took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the dust-free hand.
She looked up and told everyone about her plan.
Three forms a group; the three earliest to be born from the ancestral stones of the Underworld Clan—the Unique, the Unparalleled, and the Azure Three—are also the three largest behemoths in the Underworld Clan. Only those of the same level can produce a similar resonance.
When the triangle is just a little off, they can find her through resonance.
This was a method that the male and female protagonists used in the original storyline, but now Long Aotian and Da Shengmu have completely gone astray, and even the system doesn't know how to describe them anymore.
“So,” Miaojue clenched her palm, the lush green flowing lightly between her fair fingers, “I want to bring Uncle Cang San back completely.”
It wasn't like it is now, with its dragon scales shattered and only its spirit remaining, but rather a thunderous azure dragon that could truly roam the nine heavens.
If she could accomplish this, then she had already grasped the One Will. Miao Jue's pretty face was filled with a calm and steadfast expression.
The people opposite, with their fox-like eyes, fish-like eyes, horse-like eyes, and panda eyes, were dumbfounded.
This was such a momentous event that everyone was stunned for a long time after hearing it. They stared blankly at their youngest girl, their first reaction not being excitement, but rather unease.
This was an act against the will of heaven, and its difficulty was beyond doubt. At least, none of them could have done it.
Such a huge matter, something that has never been done before... Even adults who have lived for so long cannot bear it, yet she is forced to bear it all alone?
Yang Wu was stunned for a long time before saying, "Miaomiao, your Heavenly Spirit Bone foundation is unstable and has just been completed. If it is not controlled properly, it may cause another violent disturbance, and your divine sense will also be damaged."
Miaojue shook his head and took her simple and kind hand in his.
She had always known about her taciturn uncle and gentle, peaceful aunt, but no one ever mentioned it.
Miao Jue gradually began to understand that each step was precisely calculated, and beneath the Heavenly Bone lay a century of time, perfectly aligned.
Chen Jinshi did not try to dissuade him, knowing it would be futile; this towering tree was determined to provide shelter for everyone, and no one could change its mind.
“All I need is for you to keep an eye on my surroundings,” Miaojue said.
Chen Jinshi lazily stepped forward, glancing at her sideways. "I'm watching."
Fuji's gaze remained hesitant and conflicted, "But what if you..."
"Hurry up!" Miao Jue looked up at the sky, seemingly directing all the parents, "We must get this done before Lang Huan resolves the Heavenly Mandate Seal."
The male and female protagonists may be given a cheat code by Langhuan at any time, or something even more terrifying than a cheat code—
There's no better time than now!
Chen Jinshi reached out and pushed Bu Er, and the Azure Dragon Soul slowly swam out from the side of the Qilin's neck.
Miaojue slowly closed her eyes, and the enormous growth rings and towering apical buds shone brightly within her sea of consciousness, illuminating her inner sanctum as bright as day.
Her green dress was fluttering in the invisible wind, while her snow-white profile remained calm, like a pine tree undaunted by the mountain wind.
This is the first time in a century that time has tangibly flowed through the Underworld.
For the first time, someone has vindicated those who suffered pain, torment, and resentment.
Miao Jue pursed her lips, slowly pushing the giant clock hand in her sea of consciousness—
Believe me.
Believe in the unique.
Believe in the protection of our ancestral land.
…
"But are we just going to let the Underworld Clan enter the Third Ring like this?!"
Within the Second Ring Road, separated by a wall, the Blue Sky and White Sun totem hangs prominently around the center. Upon closer inspection, it is composed of endless white ashes and crane feathers, resembling a pale, gloomy sun.
This is the gathering place of the Eastern Immortal Clan, located in the deepest core of the Langhuan Immortal Court.
"Do you think that after all this time, the wise ruler would simply allow these wicked beasts to trample on the Celestial Court?"
The one who spoke was a young immortal who looked remarkably like Dongfang Yaotian and was dressed in a magnificent white robe.
After the Netherworld Clan broke through the inner ring, they urgently retreated with the unconscious Gong Yuqiu and the severely injured Dongfang Yaotian. The most important thing now was to maintain the stability of the Heavenly Fate Tribulation.
The healing light of the Water Spirit Healer surged like waves onto Gong Yuqiu's body, but it had no effect.
"The chosen one's meridians are severed and his spiritual bones are also severely damaged."
"Young Master Dongfang is holding Fairy Gongyu tightly, so we can't use our rescue technique more directly!"
"Can the tribulations of fate and love still be overcome?"
The Heavenly Mandate Tribulation has been developing for over a decade, and its core is in the hands of the enlightened ruler Dongfang Qianye. However, all immortals understand one thing: the ability to forge the Langhuan Heavenly Mandate Seal is fundamental to "immortality."
Because every immortal's wish is to become an immortal.
Even after a hundred years of flourishing in the Celestial Court, even though they are separated from the mortal continent by the sea and have no karmic ties, even though almost everyone has already reached the high-grade Xuan level of spiritual bone.
But they are, after all, human.
Whether one can become an immortal depends entirely on the outcome of one's destiny and the tribulations of love.
Now that Gong Yuqiu is seriously injured and the Gong Yu family is in ruins, the perfect destiny requires the harmony of Yin and Yang, and the return to oneness. It is impossible to do without any one of the links.
The Dongfang family is large and prosperous, all of them young and handsome, bearing a resemblance to Dongfang Yaotian.
They were all children of the same person. Dongfang Yaotian had nine brothers, but only he was chosen to become the Chosen One.
The way these people looked at Dongfang Yaotian revealed an indescribable indifference.
The man in the white robe was Dongfang Yuanshan, who was his nominal elder brother. He held considerable power within the Dongfang family and was in charge of all matters, big and small, of the Celestial Court when the Emperor was not present.
At that moment, the face slowly emerged from the darkness and spoke.
"The only way now is to nourish it with the blood of the underworld to revitalize it, reshape its spiritual bones and meridians, and perhaps even gain enlightenment from it."
If all goes well, we might be able to complete our destiny tribulation ahead of schedule.
Gong Yuqiu already possessed innate Heavenly Spirit Bone, and everyone knew how to repair her spiritual bone.
It's just that no one was the first to speak out.
Dongfang Yehai, his third brother, chimed in, "Gongyu Fairy has a water spirit bone, and the only matching Netherblood is the Nether Six Ying Fish. It was the first one found by Nether Ten and has been by his side the longest. I'm afraid it will be difficult!"
Dongfang Yuanshan said silently, "In that case... we can only use the blood of the Gongyu family themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight murmur rippled through the crowd.
Before today, the Langhuan Immortal Court was divided between the Dongfang and Gongyu families, just as the Heavenly Mandate of Love was jointly forged by the two families. The head of the family, Gongyu Jin, was an ancestor who arrived in the Immortal Land at the same time as the enlightened ruler...
Within the Second Ring Road, immortals who were not from the Dongfang family all turned their heads in surprise.
Beneath the bright sunlight, the indifferent faces of the Eastern immortals, suspended high in the sky, seemed to convey a certain signal—
Gong Yujin has gone mad, Gong Yuluo is seriously injured, and most of the disciples of the Gong Yu family's immortal clan have been killed in retaliation by the Fire Qilin.
They have no choice now.
Some people present looked on with fear and quietly backed away.
When there were underworld beings, they ate them.
Before the existence of the Underworld Clan, they ate people.
“The head of the Gongyu family is no longer capable of fulfilling his duties, and the Langhuan Heavenly Mandate Seal absolutely cannot be harmed,” Dongfang Yehai said, cooperating with his elder brother’s subtle pressure. “Moreover, wouldn’t it be most appropriate to use her as a catalyst to repair Gongyu Qiu’s spiritual bones?”
"What you all may not know is that Patriarch Gongyu actually possesses a rare bone structure that combines ice and water."
As soon as the words were spoken, the immortals who had been retreating slightly suddenly pricked up their ears and moved closer.
"The Bone of Fusion, Third Brother, such a thing exists?" asked a young man from the Dongfang family.
"Yes, how come I've never heard of it before?"
"Could it be that the Dongfang family has already tried this secretly multiple times—"
"Please don't be anxious, everyone," Dongfang Yehai glanced at his elder brother's gaze, then subtly glanced in the direction of Zero Ring, before explaining with a smile, "We all know that there is a high-level suppression among the five elements in this world. The ice element is superior to the water element, and its attack power is incomparable. Naturally, some people are trying to break through this barrier..."
Whispers rippled through the crowd, each person's gaze thoughtful and unfocused.
"The bone that is fused with ice and water stopped halfway through its advancement, which was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Patriarch Gongyu had profound inner strength and managed to save his life, but he also fell into madness and chaos."
The assembled immortals offered only feigned sighs of sympathy.
Having said all that, they all knew what it meant.
Gong Yuqiu, whose body was torn to pieces, was held blankly by Dongfang Yaotian. After a long while, he finally slowly raised his head.
There are many faces around him, all of which look a lot like him.
Seeing that he had regained his senses, Dongfang Yehai smiled and advised, "Yaotian, we know you're anxious, but we need to put Qiu Xianzi down first so we can treat her."
Dongfang Yaotian looked at the weak Gong Yuqiu in his arms, then at the people around him: "You want to save Qiu'er in this way?"
He paused, then suddenly a fierce wind howled: "Don't you know why she sacrificed herself?! She didn't want to see this cannibalistic Celestial Court, she didn't want you to forget the principles of humanity!"
The protagonist, Long Aotian, roared powerfully throughout the Celestial Court, as if he wanted to transform himself into a great bell to awaken them.
"And you, after devouring the Netherworld Clan, still want Qiu'er to eat her mother?! Are you even human?!" Dongfang Yaotian's eyes were bloodshot as he uttered the most chilling words from his heart.
However, there was no sound within the Second Ring Road, and the man in the Zero Ring Garden did not react at all.
Dongfang Yehai spoke first, looking embarrassed: "Yaotian, calm down. We know you've been outside for too long, so your thoughts have been influenced by the mortal world."
They are certainly not human.
In this celestial court, countless immortals cross the sea and leave the shore to become gods.
Dongfang Yaotian stopped roaring, his eyes wide with fury, and his arms around Gong Yuqiu suddenly lost their strength.
Gong Yuluo, forcing her way into the Second Ring Road, gritted her teeth and shouted, "Stop! How dare you—"
Dongfang Yuanshan easily shooed Gong Yulu away, then quietly landed beside her, speaking with elegance and composure: "Aunt Luo, don't stop her. You should be glad you have the Ice Spirit Bone."
After all, with your exceptional talent, if there weren't other ice-type characters in the inner ring, she would naturally be in grave danger given her current helpless state.
Gong Yulu raised her eyes with trembling hands, only now understanding what evil truly was, what real evil was.
Was the terror instilled by the colossal beasts that reached the heavens and the earth a hundred years ago evil? Was it evil that their flesh and blood could grant humans advancement?
When Gong Yulu staggered in, she saw the beasts arm in arm, supporting each other as they walked into the inner ring. They didn't seem to have blood ties like humans, and they didn't have the human relationships that humans have, so why were they more like humans...?
As Gong Yulu watched the entire Second Ring Road discussing the sacrifice of Gong Yujin's bones and blood to the Chosen One, the bell in her heart finally tolled, and the scythe she had wielded years ago struck her own brow—
But it was too late.
Dongfang Yuanshan bowed respectfully to Ling Huan from afar, seeking instructions from his lord, and then gently waved his fingertips.
He gracefully put his hands behind his back and told Gong Yuluo, "Actually, Father has prepared far more than you have imagined."
Dongfang Yuanshan's eyes were filled with worship for the enlightened ruler, gradually becoming fanatical. "Father, he will become a true god! The Underworld Clan? What are they? No matter how much they struggle, they are nothing more than grasshoppers in autumn, already prey on a plate—"
But right at this moment.
The dragon roars and soars to the heavens.
The Azure Dragon has appeared in the world.
…
A bolt of lightning struck Dongfang Yuanshan directly.
"Boom!"
The vast expanse of lightning, carrying the immense, primordial power of his ancestral land, cleaved his body into charred remains.
This power is far beyond what Langhuan's acquired Thunder God Tribulation could ever achieve!
"Big brother?!" Dongfang Yehai's eyes widened in disbelief, and Dongfang Yuanshan was crippled almost instantly.
But this was just the beginning. Then, hundreds of thunderbolts and lightning bolts fell like boulders crashing down within the Second Ring Road.
"What on earth is going on?!"
"Azure Dragon!?"
"How could he be like this? He was clearly already broken!"
"Aaaaaah!"
Miao Jue's face paled slightly as she looked up at the dragon soaring through the sky. Every single azure dragon scale had been restored to its original state, reflecting the sky layer upon layer, like thousands of mirrors, showing the blue sky and white clouds.
After the dragon's flight, amidst the rain, thunder, and wind, its form, as winding as ink, finally traversed freely through the sea of clouds a century after being polished into powdery mist to protect its enemy.
Cang San had no memory of the past hundred years. The Heavenly Bone Retrospection Power of the Wonderful Technique directly brought his entire dragon back to the past.
But he only saw everyone at the moment of his resurrection, saw Aunt Wu's tearful eyes, heard Fuji breathe a sigh of relief, and finally heard Jin Shi jokingly telling him to fight back at will—the Azure Dragon immediately flew into the sky and saw everything these villains had haphazardly built on their ancestral land.
The azure dragon descended in fury.
After staring at CCTV-5 for a long time, she finally quietly wiped away the tears from the wrinkles around her eyes.
Xianba held her shoulders and patted them gently.
Fuji stared blankly at the sky.
How could they have known back then that the little girl they carried back in the basket would bring them the antidote a century later?
"So, second brother, don't feel guilty."
Miaojue quietly adjusted her breathing while smiling, "After all, you were the one who carried me back."
Fuji's expression shifted slightly, a mixture of guilt and emotion appearing in his gentle golden eyes.
Some people were not happy to hear this.
He tried to assert his presence by shaking his head and swaying around Miaojue, coughing and sighing as he walked back and forth, but Miaojue ignored him.
She couldn't waste any more time, so she took a deep breath to ease the heaviness of the entire skeleton. "Second brother, take Eighth sister and the others to collect the bones now."
Now that Langhuan has been caught off guard by the Azure Dragon's lightning strike, it is the best time to collect the tiger bones.
As long as she can bring back Feng Si's bones, she is confident that she can revive him!
Now, Fuji's eyes showed more than just emotion.
Finally, Chen Jinshi, dissatisfied, dragged the girl back to him and wrapped his arm around her. "There's a limit to showing off. Going back a hundred years in a row, what are you trying to do?"
Her face was so pale.
Dust settled, but his brows furrowed deeply.
Fuji took a deep breath and walked in front of the crowd.
We can't let Miaomiao worry about them anymore.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the Qilin bone began to vibrate. Soon, the dragon bones in mid-air also emitted light.
The two points connect, and two of the top three ranks of the Underworld race appear in the world at the same time.
Pointing to that one and only—
Dust suddenly stopped, and the ashes behind him surged out, instantly condensing into vast, pitch-black wings that blocked the prying eyes from all around.
Of course, they're not the only ones searching for the sole location.
Dust settled, revealing a sinister glint in his eyes, ashes rising everywhere. Just as he was about to retaliate, he suddenly felt the person in his arms tremble.
Miao Jue suddenly lowered his head, covered his dantian, and his spiritual bones suddenly rebounded for a moment, instantly causing a burning pain.
The malice in Chen Jinshi's eyes vanished instantly, and he hurriedly bent down to hug her. "Overuse, is it that serious? I told you not to overexert yourself, I really get angry..."
Miaojue grabbed his sleeve tightly, her voice broken: "No...don't stop, block all the view, don't let him see the only spot."
System: "The male and female protagonists are back online, and the Destiny Seal has been repaired!"
I don't know how the repairs were forcibly carried out, but it must have been Dongfang Qianye who intervened.
Just then, the Langhuan Destiny Seal encountered trouble, which led him to discover... the anomaly nested within the Destiny Seal.
The power to reverse time is hidden within the tribulations of destiny!
If Dongfang Qianye can sever the Heavenly Fate Tribulation, he can obliterate the existence of the Time-Traveling Bone.
However, Langhuan has already developed to this point, how can it turn the fateful love tribulation into failure?
The balance on both sides is as thin as a spider's web.
"I can't see, don't worry, don't be afraid..." Chen Jinshi gritted his teeth and hugged her tightly, wishing he could melt her into his bones and blood, so that his blood could melt away her pain.
But she is the most unique sapling in the world.
Chen Jinshi kept nagging in her ear, "It's good that you found Wei Yi, she knows your spirit bone best..."
Sweat beaded on Miao Jue's forehead, which he constantly wiped away with his cool fingertips. The surging ashes almost covered the entire area, and no one could see the point where the Qilin and the Azure Dragon met.
Finally, the blazing fire and the azure lightning met, condensing into a line, which then shot in a certain direction, freezing for thousands of miles.
Where is the only one?
A profound understanding dawned on me, and as I gathered up all the dust, I looked up.
His gaze pierced through the ashes and smoke, crossed the sea to the west, traversed the continent, and saw clearly the point of destiny's end.
In the Tianyan Kingdom.
Where they came from.
Under the marriage tree...
