The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Xuyang did not keep the suspense. He stretched out his hand and waved it. Dozens of star tracks flashed in front of him, and two more figures appeared.

One of them was wearing a light blue Taoist robe and had pure golden pupils. He looked around with a blank expression. When he saw the floating green liquid, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. But then he saw the Taoist Xuanwu with a playful look on his face. His pupils shrank immediately and he said in a lost voice:
"Could it be the ancient Four Symbols Xingyuan Sect? The 'Zongzhen Xuanwu' is here?"

"Hehe! It's me! I was wondering who it was, but it turns out you're the one who usurped the throne and occupied the body of the ancestor Luohou. When your grandfather brought you to meet me, I seemed to have seen you from afar."

Taoist Xuanwu had a look on his face that seemed to be smiling but not laughing.

Xuyang's expression changed. He could see clearly from the opposite side that Taoist Xuanwu not only did not respect Shi Kongjie who was living in the body of the Immortal Puppet, but even showed some contempt in his expression.

"Uh, Shi Kongjie greets Senior Xuanwu!"

However, when Taoist Crab heard this, he just bowed with an awkward look on his face, not daring to show any resentment. At this time, his remaining soul of Daluo had revived from the core of the Immortal Puppet, and his mind was no longer dull. Naturally, he understood the implication of Taoist Xuanwu's words.

Xuyang also had some idea of ​​the reasons behind this. In the past year, Xuyang had listened to all the old stories from ancient times from the Taoist master Xuanwu, and had a general understanding of the whole story.

At the beginning, the Sixiang Xingyuan Sect chose to establish its sect in the 'Great Big Dipper Fairyland', the predecessor of the Zhouyuan Fairyland. Firstly, this fairyland was extremely close to the origin of the Zhoutian stars. Secondly, the Great Big Dipper Fairyland was adjacent to the Demon Realm. The ancient demon clan was a vassal of the ancestor Luohou, and could also be regarded as a branch of the ancient clan of the Wilderness True Spirit. The two sides had a very interdependent relationship, so they could unite and work together to fight against the Heavenly Court.

But the Crab Taoist, Shi Kongjie's grandfather, was too selfish and ambitious and had too many ideas. He saw that the True Spirit lineage was in a declining situation. Perhaps out of concern for the future or out of his own ambitions, under all kinds of complicated circumstances, he could not suppress his desire to become the Supreme Taoist Ancestor.

Unexpectedly, with insufficient accumulation and the Three Corpse Gods failing to suppress him, and with hidden dangers in a very bad state, he forcibly swallowed up the remaining origin of the ancestor Luohou in the 'Ji Lin Kong Jing', trying to advance to the Dao Ancestor of Space. Needless to say, the result was a failure!
His failure would not have mattered if he died, but not only did it cause infighting within the demon clan for the right of succession, but the Four Symbols Star Yuan Sect also lost its barrier and allies. The Heavenly Court no longer had any concerns, which directly led to the ultimate battle between the Heavenly Court and the Four Symbols Star Yuan Sect.

As for why the demons were fighting among themselves, we have to mention the inheritance system of the Shi family, the royal family of the demons!
The original name of the demon clan Shi's race was the ancient tribe of the wilderness - the Yeyang clan. They were extremely good at cultivating magic power and the laws of space. They were also born with strong bodies and unlimited potential. They were also suitable for imitating the Xuanxian method of the ancient giant ancestors. Their other kinds of cultivation talents were all considered extraordinary among the billions of tribes coexisting in the wilderness era.

But within the Shi family, only the head of each generation, that is, the lord of the demon clan of each generation, can practice the laws of space with justification. As for the reason, it is nothing more than a means of controlling the subordinates to prevent their own descendants from rebelling against their superiors and performing the tragic events of the "Xuanwu Gate Inheritance Law" of loving fathers and filial sons for the sake of cultivation resources and the positions of Daluo and Daozu.

Of course, there is also the reason that the cultivation of the three supreme laws is extremely difficult, and resources must be concentrated to fully support one person.

The other members of the Stone Clan, in addition to practicing the other three thousand great ways, can only practice the extremely profound immortal cultivation method of 'Tiansha Zhenyu Gong', which is the true body of the Great Black Sky Demon Ancestor that Xuyang has seen. When practiced to the deepest level, one can reproduce a little of the aura of the ancient giant ancestor and grow twelve arms. The whole method can open up a total of 450 mysterious orifices.

Opening up the three hundred and sixty orifices means the physical body has reached Daluo. The technique that can directly lead to the physical body Daluo is barely considered a top-level Xuanxian technique in the fairy world. However, if one is not born with a strong physical body and mind, it is impossible to practice this technique. The old demon Han in later generations was able to learn this technique because he practiced the "Qingzhe Jue" and the art of refining the soul, and had twelve true bloods to cultivate the body of a true demon as a foundation.

And once the contemporary Demon Lord senses that his own state of invasion and assimilation by the Heavenly Dao is irreversible and has reached the point of being irreversible, that is, when he knows that he is about to die, he must follow the clan rules and start the stage of 'raising poison to seize the throne' for the princes. That is, the restrictions on practicing the laws of space are lifted. The contemporary Demon Lord and the Council of Elders will discuss and designate several of the most talented royal heirs to practice the laws of space. The most outstanding one within the limited time will be the next generation of Demon Lord!
As for the other members of the Stone Clan who failed in the competition, they would naturally extract the origin of the spatial laws from their bodies and infuse them all into the body of the winner using the secret technique of the Yeyang Clan. This cruel method of breeding would create a potential Demon Lord with the cultivation level of the peak of Daluo in a short period of time.

In addition, as princes, they have reached a very deep level in their practice of the 'Tiansha Zhenyue Gong' and possess extremely strong bodies. With the addition of the law of space, they are like a tiger with wings, and can immediately become a fighter that surpasses the level of ordinary Daozu.

In this way, the top power of the Stone Clan will be smoothly transferred and there will be no blank period. As for the losers, they will not be completely reduced to waste, because they themselves are Taiyi in the flesh or even Daluo in the flesh.

But because of Shi Kongjie's grandfather's desperate gamble, which unexpectedly failed, as soon as he died, the many great Daozu of the demon clan naturally split into factions around the few princes. Not only did the Shi clan fall into an extremely long period of civil strife, but the original strategic alliance with the Four Symbols Star Yuanzong, which was originally a strong support for each other, was also broken. The trend of Heaven's swallowing up all the realms could no longer be stopped.

Shi Kongjie also went through the "raising poison" stage, and was on par with Shi Kongyu, and almost became a reserve demon lord, but failed at the last step. The civil strife lasted too long, and the two sides had been grudges for a long time. Shi Kongyu wanted to cut the weeds and wipe them out, and Shi Kongjie was unwilling to depend on others. If someone had not intruded into the time and space tens of millions of years ago and Shi Kongjie had not escaped into the "Ji Lin Kong Jing" under someone's guidance, he would have been killed by now.

Therefore, to Taoist Xuanwu, the Shi family was a burden that ruined the good situation. Shi Kongjie also knew this. Facing Taoist Xuanwu's bad face, he had no temper at all, and dared not show it if he had one. He only had a Daluo remnant soul and a Golden Immortal puppet left.

The Taoist Xuanwu stopped paying attention to Shi Kongjie at this moment, and looked at the other side. There was a dark yellow illusory bottle several inches high, with all the facial features on the bottle wall. After studying it for a long time, he tightened the green bottle in his palm, looked at Xuyang again, and asked suspiciously: "Is this the Palm of Heaven Bottle Spirit? The Palm of Heaven Bottle actually gave birth to a bottle spirit? When did it happen?"

The ignored Shi Kongjie dared not speak out his anger, and looked at the Bottle Spirit with a sigh. He had been waiting in the Demon Source Sea for millions of years, but had never been able to see the Palm of Heaven Bottle and the Bottle Spirit. Now he finally got what he wanted, but the result was not what he wanted at all.

At this time, the bottle spirit's pair of soybean-sized dark eyes also looked at the Taoist Xuanwu with doubt, and then looked at the long-lost Palm Heaven Bottle in his palm. After a while, he didn't dare to pull out the teeth from the tiger's mouth and do anything rash, and said dryly:

"Master Jiuyuan, you are a true spirit born during the time of the first Lord of Heaven. The Ancestral Dragon and the Black Tortoise Ancestor have both perished, but you are still alive. I originally thought you died in the battle to destroy the Four Symbols Xingyuan Sect."

The Taoist master Xuanwu frowned and asked, "Of course I am alive. Since the beginning of the wilderness, I am definitely one of the top three creatures who are best at keeping healthy. But why do you know me? I don't remember seeing you before!"

The dark eyes of the bottle spirit at this moment were filled with a frustrated expression of being imprisoned. He said with strength but without breath, "Of course I have seen you. When the Heaven-Holding Bottle was in the hands of the third generation ancestor dragon 'Weisang', I had already developed a vague spiritual wisdom in the Heaven-Holding Bottle. Although it has not yet fully condensed into a shape, practitioners have a photographic memory. Even after hundreds of millions of years, I still remember your appearance and aura."

"So that's how it is. It was the Ancient Dao God who helped you to be reborn, and it was also from you that I realized the Three Thousand Daos." The Xuanwu Dao Master's eyes suddenly showed a look of realization, but then he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stopped talking. After a little thought, he sorted out many of his previous doubts, and immediately sneered:

"I was wondering why the Ancient Dao God could comprehend that forbidden method. It turns out that the root of the problem is you. When the Heavenly Bottle was lost from Daoist Fellow 'Weisang' in a strange way, I'm afraid it was you who took the initiative to expose your aura and played tricks behind the scenes!? If my guess is correct, it was you who deliberately leaked your aura so that the fortune teller in the Heavenly Court could calculate it!
And you have this unwilling expression on your face. I'm afraid you had a lot of thoughts hidden in your mind when you were in Xuyangzi's hands before. Now that you've seen me, you know there's no turning back, so you act like this!"

Ping Ling's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately lowered his eyes feeling guilty.

The Taoist master Xuanwu ignored it and looked directly at Xuyang and said in a deep voice: "This kind of Xuanbao spirit that has the desire to protect itself and does not follow the master's wishes is the root of the disaster. It should not exist in the first place. Why keep it? It is better to destroy it once and for all!"

Xuyang's expression changed, but before he could say anything, Ping Ling became anxious and said in panic:

"It is the instinct of living things to reproduce and grow. All living things in the world have selfish desires. I am also a living thing, so I am no exception. How can you decide my life or death based on your selfish desires? Xuyangzi, when I allowed you to leave a mark in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs Immortal Forbidden Zone and recognized you as my master, you promised not to destroy me and that you would set me free one day!"

Xuyang curled his lips when he heard that, thinking that it was true that there was a promise, but the prerequisite was that he sincerely acknowledged his master. However, when the real thunder tribulation came, the bottle spirit seemed to be restless and wanted to cause trouble again. It was Shikong who rescued it. Moreover, afterwards, the bottle spirit was unwilling to let Xuyang be completely refined in the deep restrictions of the fairy ban. Of course, it was also for self-protection. Because if it was completely refined, the bottle spirit would lose its reliance on self-protection, and life and death would all depend on Xuyang's thoughts.

Xu Yang guessed afterwards that the bottle spirit was probably still alienated from his strange dream, and wanted to actively expose its aura to the heavenly aura under the true thunder tribulation cloud. It wanted two things. One was to let Han Li, the master of the Samsara Hall, sense it. It was just thinking of its old master, or it was fed up with Han Li's origin of the law of time! Once you taste the marrow, you will know the taste!

The second is that he wants to return to Gu Huojin's hands, because once the Three Thousand Dao God Array is activated and Gu Huojin merges with the Dao of Chaos, if the Palm of the Sky Bottle can absorb the power of chaos on the side, it will be able to completely burst the Palm of the Sky Bottle and truly transform into a complete spirit weapon. That is the same power as the Taoist Ancestor of Chaos!
Xuyang had no way of knowing whether there was an agreement between Ping Ling and Gu Huojin, but he guessed that there was probably one.

Before Xu Yang could make any comment, the Taoist Xuanwu shouted in a stern voice, "How ridiculous! The battles between the great ways and the tribes are extremely cruel, and the losers are left with nothing but corpses. You actually use the words of honesty and morality to make a fuss. You want to transform and take a step further, which is naturally beneficial to you, but you have stirred up the situation in the fairy world and caused the corpses of my True Spirit tribe to be buried for millions of miles! From the perspective of my True Spirit lineage, you are the source of the chaos and should not exist!"

The Taoist master Xuanwu became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and seemed to be really angry. The entire Bagua space was shaking, and the mountains, swamps, thunder, fire, and water were constantly shaking. The gray mirror on his chest flashed and shot out a divine light, shining on the bottle spirit and directly freezing it. Even though the bottle spirit subconsciously released the Three Thousand Great Light Array to recreate the earth, wind, water, and fire, it was useless.

Even the Golden Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix who were in retreat in the distance were awakened, and they were at a loss as to what had happened. Shi Kongjie, who was beside Xuyang, felt sad when he saw this, and hurriedly lowered his head, trying his best to suppress his presence. He was already disliked by Xuanwu, and he was afraid that Xuanwu would kill him and destroy him as well.

The Taoist master Xuanwu stared at Xuyang closely, as if he was waiting for Xuyang's consent to completely destroy the existence of the bottle spirit.

In panic, Ping Ling used several methods in succession, but they were all firmly suppressed by the second-grade mysterious treasure, Yin Yang Qian Kun Jian. However, it had no effect. He was already frightened out of his wits, and seeing this, he quickly shouted:

"Fellow Daoist Xu, help me! Please advise Daoist Master Jiuyuan! I... That's right! It doesn't matter if I die, but the Seven Lords of Heaven, Zhong Gu Huo Jin and Chen Tuan, recorded my aura into the Primal Chaos Spirit List. If I am wiped out, they will definitely feel it!"

The Taoist master Xuanwu followed closely and said, "Don't worry, even if Chen Tuan got the news, he would never be able to predict this. He doesn't have the ability to do so!"

Xuyang was also somewhat caught off guard, his expression changed. He didn't know that Ping Ling and the previous True Spirit lineage had such a "deep hatred". His original intention was to save some effort for Taoist Xuanwu and have two more helpers in refining the Creation Crystals.

But Xuyang knew that what Taoist Xuanwu said was right, the bottle spirit did have great ambitions, and it did not simply want to transform. If it wanted freedom, it could actually do it at any time. It could just give up the original power of the Palm of Heaven Bottle and reincarnate. It just wanted more, and it wanted to be strong without rules.

After Han Lao Mo and the Dao Ancestors destroyed Gu Huo in the future, Han Lao Mo could have merged with Dao, but he was bewitched by the bottle spirit and indoctrinated with something, and finally gave up! ?
Just like the Lord of the Samsara Palace, he gave most of his power to the bottle spirit. In the end, Han Lao Mo would rather be the Supreme Immortal with the peak of Daluo realm, and did not go further to pursue a higher realm.

And the bottle spirit became the biggest winner, transcending the world and leaving!

This meant that countless Dao Ancestors suffered heavy casualties and had fought for countless years, only to become supporting roles. In the end, it was actually a bottle spirit that achieved the greatest results. Xuyang could not help but think about this.

What's more, if Xuyang wants to make further progress in his Mother Qi Cave Heaven, he will definitely not hesitate when the time comes to swallow the Palm of Heaven Bottle!
But if we act now, it may provoke a strong reaction from the ancient or modern people, and they may very likely resort to desperate measures, engage in war and expansion, and speed up the construction of the Three Thousand Dao God Array.

This was something Xuyang didn't want to see, because his development time was already very tight, so he couldn't do this for the time being, but it would be nice to take the opportunity to scare the bottle spirit.

Thinking of this, Xuyang deliberately sighed and looked ashamed: "In this case, I have broken my promise, so..."

The bottle spirit was shocked. His life was in danger, so how could he dream of other things? He blurted out, "No more! I don't want the Heavenly Bottle anymore!" (End of this chapter)
