The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Chapter 156 Millions of Years

“Your Majesty, since the day we were born, our Flame Butterfly clan has been a vassal of the Golden Crow Ancestor. The True Spirit Blood Oath is a tradition of our clan dating back millions of years.

In fact, the Black-headed Flame Butterfly clan has existed since ancient times. They were originally the spirits of heaven and earth living under the sun-blocking phoenix tree. They were nurtured by the original energy of the Golden Crow ancestor and the Nine Yang Extreme Flames, and only then were our clan born and grown.

But after the great war of true spirits a million years ago, the oath stone was shattered, and the ancestor of the Golden Crow disappeared from then on and never came back. Over the past million years, our clan has tried to communicate with him through sacrifices countless times, but has never received a response from the ancestor.

The former Flame Butterfly Clan was a tribe with several Mahayana masters, and they occupied a vast territory of billions of miles around this place. Since they lost the protection of their ancestor, they have declined to the point where there are only two transformed members left, and the only territory they retain is the ancestor's spirit cave.

A few days ago, a young member of the tribe went out to play, and was discovered by the Yaksha tribe team and captured. Qili showed her Dharma image and killed them, but accidentally let one of them escape. These days, I have been in a state of panic, fearing that one day they will break into my house."

Qi Meng told the story slowly and at the end, she patted her breasts lightly with her slender hands, with a hint of fear.

The beautiful young woman at the side also showed a lingering fear, and spoke with some resentment:

"Most of the original territory of the Yaksha tribe was taken from the Flame Butterfly tribe in ancient times! If the news leaked out, they would definitely wipe out the entire clan! It's all my fault. If Your Majesty hadn't come here today, the Flame Butterfly tribe might have been extinct in the near future."

Seeing the two beauties complaining, Xuyang smiled and comforted them:
"Haha, we have just killed several combined members of the Yaksha tribe. Even if they have other insiders, you don't have to worry about it in the future. Since this place is my villa, I will not allow anyone to offend or peek here again!

By the way, although these tribesmen below have not yet transformed, I just heard that most of their voices are tender and delicate. How come you don’t have any male tribesmen?”

The two beautiful women looked moved, and after looking at each other, they both lowered their heads and said, "The Flame Butterfly Clan was born in the extremely Yin reversal place of the Nine Yang Formation. All the members of the clan have the body of fire spirit, but the extreme Yang turns to Yin, and they are born female.

Qi Meng Qi Li is still in the body of Yuan Yin, and is willing to be a maid, serving the Lord with a willow-like appearance. Other members of the Flame Butterfly tribe are born with the ability to comb the fire veins, and are best at cultivating fire-type spiritual plants. They can also take care of the medicine garden for the Lord. I only ask for the Lord's mercy and allow us to continue to stay in the Extreme Yin Reversal Land to expand the population of the tribe."

Tao Yao hurriedly raised her foot and stepped lightly in the air, making a slight strange sound. The two big men Xuan Mu and Xuan Qi immediately understood, and they bowed to Xuyang and disappeared into the air, appearing far away under a phoenix tree thousands of feet away. With the fire spiritual energy that was almost overflowing there, they sat cross-legged and began to practice breathing and breathing.

Even if you don't enter the Golden Crow Cave in the tiankeng, just the area under the paulownia tree is an excellent spiritual place comparable to the Yanlong Mountains in Dragon Island.

Xuyang looked at the two of them with a burning gaze. Seeing that they were both covered in gauze and looked obedient and weak, willing to have whatever they wanted, he coughed lightly.

"En, Qimeng, you are so beautiful. Qimeng, please change to wearing a white dress from now on! I can't recognize you when you are wearing the same one."

Tao Yao had a strange look on his face. The fluctuations of spiritual power of each cultivator varied greatly. Even among people of the same clan, the difference could be seen at a glance.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qimeng and Qili were extremely delighted when they heard it. They raised their heads with blushes on their faces and both gave Xuyang a breathtaking bright smile. Qimeng even raised her hand and patted herself lightly, and she changed into a slightly transparent white gauze dress on the spot.

"Let's go, let's go in and see the birthplace of the Golden Crow." Xu Yang nodded seriously. As they went deeper into the cenote, the space at the bottom became wider and wider. On the stone wall of the cenote was carved a three-legged Golden Crow statue that was ten thousand feet tall. Surrounding the statue were dozens of densely packed shrines, all of which were filled with incense and candles made of twigs of Chinese parasol trees, slowly emitting green smoke. It seemed that what Qi Meng said was true, and the Flame Butterfly Clan had indeed never stopped worshipping the Golden Crow.

Continuing to fly downwards for tens of thousands of feet, they found themselves at the bottom of a lava lake thousands of feet wide. The heat waves were surging, and the void nearly a hundred feet above the lake was slightly distorted and blackened. From time to time, pillars of blazing white fire dozens of feet high rose from under the lake.

What was even more astonishing was that in the rolling lava and pillars of fire, there were an astonishing number of fiery red crystals floating. Each crystal had amazing spiritual energy and was extremely crystal clear. They were all rare, top-grade fire spirit stones, numbering in the thousands. Moreover, the color and purity seemed to be even more refined than the ordinary top-grade spirit stones in the outside world.

However, all of this was blocked by a layer of pure white light curtain similar to the Soul Binding Array. Above the light curtain, along the red stone wall of the sinkhole, there were many caves of different sizes. It seemed that the Flame Butterfly Clan usually lived in them.

Xuyang saw all this and couldn't help but look at the two delicate beauties beside him with some surprise.

"With such a blessed place, how come the Flame Butterfly Clan was almost wiped out? With so many top-grade Fire Spirit Stones, even a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure can be bought. And if we go deep into the lava lake below to practice, it shouldn't be difficult to advance to the Mahayana stage, right?"

Qi Meng bowed and said calmly:
"Your Excellency, please allow me to tell you that the oath we made under the phoenix tree just now was not meant to fool you!
We, the Flame Butterfly Clan, are extremely loyal to our True Spirit Oath. The Lava Lake is the residence of the Golden Crow Ancestor. Since the ancient times when our clan began to serve the Golden Crow Ancestor, we have never set foot in the Lava Lake. This was the oath that the Flame Butterfly Clan made at that time! We will obey it until our death!

Even after the Oath Stone was shattered millions of years ago, our clan never had the thought of offending the ancestor!
We are always looking forward to the day when the Golden Crow Ancestor can once again gather the essence of his true spirit from the spirit cave and be resurrected and reborn. This is also the mission of our clan to guard this place.

It was also because of the lack of communication with the outside world that there was no means to fight against the demons from outside the universe! Most of the predecessors in the past died tragically under the true thunder tribulation when they were trying to break through the bottleneck of Mahayana!
But there is nothing we can do about it. As descendants of the True Spirit Crow, we are coveted by many alien races and dare not show up in the outside world. If we had not sealed ourselves off in this place, the Flame Butterfly Clan might have died out a million years ago!
In the past hundreds of thousands of years, the cultivation level of us, the younger generations, has been getting worse and worse. Except for the previous Butterfly Queen who cultivated to the late stage of fusion and died in the great calamity, in my generation, the highest cultivation level is only the middle stage of fusion. She can't call herself the Butterfly Queen, but can only be called the mother of the clan.

A few days ago, after the Yaksha tribe appeared, some members of the tribe proposed to migrate with the entire tribe and find a remote place to live. I have never agreed. Fortunately, Your Majesty appeared, and I was no longer caught in a dilemma between the safety of my members and the oath of my true spirit.

Your Excellency and the Golden Crow Ancestor are both true spirits, so how to deal with the lava lake depends entirely on Your Excellency’s words.”

"You are really devoted to me, very good!"

Xuyang was shocked. Qimeng's few words told the bloody history of an ethnic group over millions of years.

If he puts himself in his shoes, he would definitely not agree with this kind of blind loyalty that means guarding a treasure mountain without using it, but if he were the beneficiary of this oath, Xuyang could only say: Very good!

Very good! You know how to handle things!

You know too much!
