There are seven peaks in Taihua Mountain, among which Yuxiao Peak has the least disciples and is very quiet.
Especially after the Demon Lord left Taihua Mountain, Yuxiao Peak was placed under martial law. Except for some peak masters and elders who could pass through the restrictions and enter Yuxiao Peak, the rest of the disciples were not allowed to enter.
Speaking of the restrictions on Yuxiao Peak, Luo Jianqing was puzzled. In his previous life, Yuxiao Peak had set up so many restrictions to keep out enemies because it wanted to protect the Nine Lotuses Heaven-Taking Record and the Nine Lotus Venerable's natal jade lamp. But now, the Nine Lotuses Heaven-Taking Record no longer existed, and the Nine Lotus Venerable's natal jade lamp had gone out when he ascended. Why would these restrictions be necessary?
Under Luo Jianqing's curious gaze, Xuan Lingzi explained the reason while making tea for himself and his disciple.
These restrictions were not left behind by the descendants of Yuxiao Peak. On the contrary, they were set up by Venerable Jiulian himself.
It is said that thirty thousand years ago, Venerable Jiulian and Mo Qing, the seventh son of the Mo family, became close friends. They traveled together in Xuantian Continent. Although they both had the ability to ascend to heaven three thousand years ago, they had not yet achieved the ascension.
Because the relationship between these two people was so good, there was a rumor circulating on Xuantian Continent at that time:
"Zen Jiulian of Mount Taihua and Mo Clan's Patriarch Mo Qing are close friends."
Jiulian had always scoffed at this statement, and Mo Qing was helpless. The two of them had a very good relationship, but they were really just friends and had never done anything that crossed the line.
It all started when the two of them traveled to the demon realm and met the demon king Cang Ruo.
At that time, the Xuantian Continent's foremost cultivator was Venerable Jiulian, and the foremost demon lord was Demon Lord Cangruo. When the two met, it was natural to determine who was the true number one in Xuantian Continent.
The two fought for a full ten years. In the end, Jiulian was seriously injured, but he defeated the Demon Lord Cangruo and became the number one in Xuantian.
From then on, Jiulian, Cangruo, and Moqing became friends. Cangruo allowed Jiulian and Moqing to rest on Dragon Island. At that time, in addition to Cangruo and Zisong, the remaining sixty-two of the sixty-four demon lords also arrived on Dragon Island, each determined to challenge Jiulian. Jiulian easily defeated them, but unexpectedly, one demon lord fell in love with him.
So within a few days, Zisong Demon Lord found Jiulian and wanted to ask Mo Qing to leave, but Jiulian said frankly, "Is there anything that cannot be said in front of Mo Qing? He and I are like brothers, there is nothing I need to avoid him for."
Demon Venerable Zisong hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "Three months ago, my sworn sister fought against you. I wonder if you still remember her. Her name was Lingjia. You should know her character. Among my demon clan, Demon Venerable Lingjia has a gentle temperament and beautiful appearance. She is also the younger sister of Demon Venerable Mingjia, and holds an exceptional status in the demon clan."
Having said this, Demon Lord Zisong stopped talking, but Venerable Jiulian was stunned for a moment.
This kind of matchmaking, even between these top powerful people in the world, is... a bit embarrassing.
Venerable Jiulian still had some impression of Demon Venerable Lingjia. As Zisong had said, Lingjia was a gentle beauty, even known as the most beautiful woman in the demon race. Unable to directly disrespect Zisong, Jiulian didn't immediately refuse. Unsure of what he was thinking, he actually asked Mo Qing for his opinion on the matter after Zisong left.
Mo Qing was watering a magical herb with spiritual energy. A faint smile graced his beautiful, elegant face, as if even the sky would fall, it wouldn't change. He looked up at Jiulian, whose fair face, framed by the sunlight, appeared gentle and indifferent. He whispered, "You've always been so casual. I don't think you mind the distinction between humans and demons. A few days ago, Lingjia shared her experiences with me about raising magical herbs. She's truly a good person."
Jiulian was speechless for a moment.
No one knew what kind of conflict the two had during that time. All they knew was that three days later, Jiulian and Mo Qing left Dragon Island and returned to Yuxiao Peak. From then on, they set up ninety-nine eighty-one barriers on Yuxiao Peak, and the two rarely left.
Later, Demon Lord Cang Ruo went to Yuxiao Peak to ask for an explanation for Lingjia. "You left so abruptly without saying a word. Jiulian, even if you don't like Lingjia, you can't just leave without saying goodbye. At least give her an answer!"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Jiulian raised his sword, intending to send the guest away. However, Mo Qing gently stopped him with his hand, smiled, and walked up to Demon Venerable Cangruo. He said, "Jiulian and I have become Dao companions. Cangruo, please apologize to Demon Venerable Zisong and Demon Venerable Lingjia on our behalf."
Demon Lord Cang Ruo was dumbfounded.
From that moment on, everyone knew that Yuxiao Peak's master, Venerable Jiulian, and Mo Qing, the patriarch of the Mo Clan, had become a Taoist couple. They remained together for a thousand years, shielding their relationship from prying eyes with restrictions. Later, Mo Qing ascended to immortality first, and Jiulian escorted him to the immortal realm before ascending alone. Together, they left Xuantian Continent.
Jiulian and Mo Qing were indeed gone, but they left behind many restrictions on Yuxiao Peak. They left behind a way for future generations to unlock these restrictions, but later generations thought: with these restrictions, they could just block some dangers and use Yuxiao Peak as the last barrier of Taihua Mountain.
Therefore, later generations not only did not remove the restrictions, but added more restrictions on top of the restrictions, making Yuxiao Peak as solid as a rock.
Hearing these words, two figures suddenly popped up in Luo Jianqing's mind. One, dressed in a green robe, was elegant and beautiful, with a beautiful face; the other, holding a sword, stood with unparalleled handsomeness and a formidable aura. This ending couldn't be better for Jiulian and Mo Qing, though Luo Jianqing didn't understand why the two would eventually become Taoist companions. After all, they had been just friends in their previous life...
Luo Jianqing thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we add two more restrictions?"
