The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

"What do you want to do? I am willing to accept you as my subordinate because I see that you practice the ancient barbaric method. Don't you trust me? Do you have to go to the Zhenyan Sect to investigate? I have already told you that the ancestor of the Zhenyan Sect has not completely perished. Not only will you most likely gain nothing if you go in, but you will also be used by them and dragged into the struggle between the Samsara Palace and the Heavenly Court."

Xuyang glanced at Yin Nuer indifferently, but in his heart he was recalling the fairyland chapters that he had read intermittently in his previous life. He remembered that when Han Lao Mo came to this time in the later life, the ruins of Zhenyanmen had been "half-born" for more than 10,000 or 20,000 years, attracting many forces including local forces to come here. Could it be that without his intervention, the "half-born" node was created by the three-tailed silver fox and Shi Kaiqian?
Then he couldn't let Yin Nuer in. What if she went in to play the dungeon and alarmed the giant hand under the abyss of evil spirit, attracting the attention of the ancient or modern body? With his unpredictable cultivation of the Avenue of Time, what if he could use the great magical power of reversing time and discovered that he, Jiuyanlong, was here?
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, Xuyang does not want to take the risk and must eliminate this possibility.

Since the flapping of the butterfly's wings has already disturbed the overall situation in the fairy world, it might as well completely change the situation. Anyway, Kimozi has been summoned by Miro, and when he was advanced, some kind of deal must have been reached between the master and the disciple.

"Please allow me to report this to you, my lord. It's not that I don't believe your judgment on the Zhenyan Sect. I am indeed one of the few people in the clan who can practice the ancient barbaric method. If I didn't have an important responsibility in the clan, I would be able to listen to your teachings by your side. This is such a great opportunity, I'm afraid the clan leader would be happy to see it happen!"

Yin Nuer seemed to be getting more and more anxious. After some hesitation, she had no choice but to tell the truth in order to convince Xuyang to let her go.

"But the ancestor of my Sky Fox clan went out to seek the opportunity of harmony with the Dao tens of millions of years ago, but encountered an accident and disappeared in the True Immortal Realm. His whereabouts have become a mystery. Our clan has lost the pillar that supports the sky, the position of the True Spirit King is missing, and our strength has been greatly reduced. Our sphere of influence has shrunk seriously, and we have to deal with the attack of the Heavenly Court. The current Sky Fox clan leader is unable to do it alone, so he sent ten clan members above Taiyi, including me, to search for the whereabouts of the ancestor. I am burdened with a heavy responsibility and cannot serve you at ease. I hope you will have mercy on me and let me continue to explore the many secret places in the True Immortal Realm. According to the clan leader's speculation, the ancestor is likely to be trapped in the major immortal prisons or famous secret places in the immortal world, Slave."

At this moment, Yin Nuer's beautiful face suddenly shook, her anxious words stopped abruptly, and she looked blankly at the right side of Xuyang!

I saw a tiny Tai Chi diagram of black and white emerging from the empty space where no one was. It twisted and turned into a ball of gray light and shadow. A green-haired old man holding a green radish pipe appeared like a ghost in the light and shadow.

"Why did you come out? What if Miro is watching here? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

Xuyang nodded with a surprised smile.

"Tsk! With me here in person, no one can spy here. Besides, since the old monk dared to plot against you, the friendship between him and me will naturally disappear. From now on, we will just be strangers facing the Heavenly Palace together. Don't worry about him!"

The Taoist Xuanwu was still upset about the destruction of his previous incarnation. He explained with a hum and then asked the stunned Yin Nuer calmly, "Who is the current Sky Fox Clan Leader? By the way, you should know me, right?"

"You, you, you! You are the Xuanwu Saint with the Taoist name Jiuyuan! Among the eighteen saint statues in the Holy Spirit Hall of our clan, there is a golden statue of you! You are still alive! The Silver Fox slave of the Sky Fox clan pays homage to the Saint! Woo woo woo~! Saint, please have mercy, please show mercy and help the Sky Fox clan! The current clan leader of our clan has a taboo name of Liu Qing. The clan leader once said that he went to the Four Symbols Star Yuan Sect in the former Great Beidou Fairyland to seek the Tao, and I have a boy who studies Taoism under your tutelage! I have been worshipping you as a half-teacher all these years! Woo woo woo~! Please, for the sake of our fate with the clan leader, show my fox clan a clear way!"

Yin Nuer seemed to see hope. She knelt on the ground devoutly, sobbing and kowtowing.

"Liu Qing. Oh! It's the handsome six-tailed fox! No wonder I've heard prayers from the Savage Fairyland over the years. I thought some small tribe in the wilderness thought I was dead and was performing random sacrifices! I was in a deep sleep before, and I was annoyed by the noise of these sacrifices, so I blocked them out! According to what you said, it turned out that it was Liu Qing who built a shrine for me! Ha, didn't this rebellious son curse me to die early?"

The Taoist Xuanwu took a sip of his green ivy pipe, smacked his lips and looked nostalgic, then asked, "Well, how is he now?"

"The clan leader just beheaded two corpses 50,000 years ago. Now he has advanced to the late Daluo stage. He is properly placing the beheaded corpses and stabilizing his cultivation." Yin Nuer raised her tearful face and said this after a slight hesitation.

The Xuanwu Taoist Master's expression turned a little ugly, and he sighed heavily with some frustration: "Alas~~! The Sky Fox Clan has lost confidence in the ancient barbaric method. Liu Qing's talent is relatively outstanding among the last few Sky Foxes, but he is also like Liu Qi, and has turned to practice the Three Corpse Way!"

Yin Nuer naturally did not dare to question the choice of the clan leader and the ancestor. She could only look forward to it and kowtow again: "Holy Lord, can you go back with me to meet the clan leader?"

"Huh? His wings have grown hard now! Do you still want me to go see him?" Taoist Xuanwu suddenly glared.

Yin Nuer was so frightened that he waved his hands at a loss. "No! I said something wrong. The clan leader just killed the second corpse and is not in a very good condition. He also has to deal with the army of immortals led by the White Bone Emperor in the Heavenly Court. It is really difficult for him to come to see you. The clan leader has said many times that with your help, the search for the ancestor will definitely be ten thousand times better than our stupid method of rushing around without a head! Please, Saint! The clan leader also misses you very much. If he knew you were still alive, he would be very happy! After the disappearance of the ancestor, our fox clan has become a half-vassal of the Bai Ze clan. It is too difficult to act as a vanguard to resist the Heavenly Court!"

The Xuanwu Taoist Master's expression relaxed at this point, and he ignored Yin Nu'er's complaints and said to himself, "Oh? Bone Emperor? It turned out to be him. He was also a member of the group that besieged the Great Beidou Immortal Realm. I fought him face to face for a few moves. His strength is considered strong among the ordinary Taoist ancestors. He actually went to attack the Sky Fox Clan again? It's really difficult for Liu Qing to deal with him!"

"You agree to it?" Yin Nuer was extremely surprised.

"We can reminisce about the past anytime, there's no need to rush. As for helping to find Liu Qi, there's no need for me to agree! And it's not convenient for me to show up and alert the Heavenly Court. We have our own plans." Taoist Master Xuanwu glanced at Xuyang, and suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"Why is that?" Yin Nu'er's heart sank when she heard that, and she had a bad feeling. Xuyang's expression changed, and he looked at Baohua, but they didn't say anything. Baohua also had a complicated expression, and she looked at Yin Nu'er as if she was looking at her past self. After the death of Huanyue Ancestor, she had not yet firmly established her position as the Ancestor, and she had to deal with the great disaster of borers, and she was also so anxious all day long.

"Because Liu Qi is gone! In addition to the law of illusion, his attainments in talismans are also quite good. When he came to visit me, I used the law of heaven and earth and his two souls to refine a pair of yin and yang Sky Fox Sound Transmission Talismans. He and I each collected one as a means of communication between the Great Big Dipper Fairyland and the northern wilderness tribes of the Black Earth Fairyland. As early as tens of millions of years ago, the fairy talisman in my hand had already shattered, which means that Liu Qi had fallen at that time!"

Taoist Xuanwu spoke expressionlessly the devastating news that made Yin Nuer's eyes turn black. This was the reason why Taoist Xuanwu did not want to have too many entanglements with the surviving clans of the True Spirits trapped in the north of the Black Earth Immortal Realm.

Among the so-called eight True Spirit Kings, there are only three true ancient True Spirit Kings still alive, Bai Ze, Youtian Kunpeng, and Mo Yan Pi Xiu. These three did not get along well with Taoist Master Xuanwu in ancient times. Originally, they were the True Spirit forces that were independent of the Taiyi ancestral temple. Only Liu Qi of the Sky Fox Clan was relatively close to Xuanwu, but now he is gone. The bridge for communication and alliance between the two sides has been lost.

Otherwise, they would not have parted ways. The surviving clans led by Long Feng and Xuan Wu established the Si Xiang Xing Yuan Sect in the Great Bei Dou Fairyland. Bai Ze and his lineage did not choose to follow, and the rift between the two sides had long been irreparable.

There is no so-called common hatred of the enemy. The position of advancing and retreating together is based on consistent common interests. The two sides cannot pee in the same pot.

The reason why Liu Qing and the others came to the Four Symbols Star Yuan Sect to seek the truth was that they had a master-disciple relationship with Xuanwu for a short period of time. It was also an attempt made by the True Spirit lineage in the north of the Black Earth Immortal Realm to hedge their bets and have the best of both worlds.

But something happened later, and Liu Qing and the others were soon summoned back. No one branch was separated out to practice the Four Symbols Star Yuan Gong, but most of the new 'pseudo-true spirits' that emerged from the clan switched to practicing the Three Corpses Dao, which was an active integration or submission to the Heavenly Court.

The reason why the True Spirit forces of the eight True Spirit Kings sent outstanding disciples from their clan to join the Four Symbols Star Sect was just a struggle when they were indecisive and it was soon corrected.

But they never expected that the Heavenly Court would kill them all. Taowu, Zhuyan and the Mountain Giant Ape were soon besieged and killed by the Heavenly Army. Luohou's collateral descendant, the Zhenling Hunzhu who pretended to be King Luohou, also died.

There is only one great way, and among the three thousand great ways, the position of the ancestor of those common and easy-to-cultivate great ways is a tempting "piece of cake". When new forces join, they will definitely join the "cake-sharing" table. However, the laws cultivated by these true spirits are mostly innate and exclusive, and ordinary cultivators cannot easily get started.

This is equivalent to compromising under the trend of the Three Corpse Sect's expansion and conquest. However, new benefits must be taken, and the original advantages cannot be shared with the monks of the Heavenly Court. How can they be integrated and merged then?
From the perspective of the Heavenly Court, in the struggle for the position of the Taoist Ancestor, even between masters and apprentices or fathers and sons, who are linked by their sects, they have to be wary of each other, for fear of suddenly becoming the 'emperor emeritus'. Who would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others and share with their former enemies?

If a new force joins in dividing the pie, it will be tantamount to harming all the original Three Corpse Dao cultivators. Even if several of the Seven Lords of Heaven or the Supreme One nod in agreement, it won't work!
If the Heavenly Court really accepts this group of true spirits, it would mean that there would be another huge mountain in addition to the many factions such as Longyuan Fairyland, Jiuyuan Temple, and Fentian Fairyland. Would the Heavenly Court still be the same Heavenly Court?
"Alas, this is a life-and-death struggle for change. It's either you die or I die. How can we still imagine peaceful coexistence? How stupid!"

When Taoist Xuanwu thought about this, he felt complicated. He couldn't tell whether it was pity, sadness or gloating. He kept shaking his head and sighing.

Yin Nuer seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt. It took her a while to wake up from the shock and panic. She still couldn't believe the bad news and said, "But the clan's sacrifice to ancestor Liu Qi has always received a response. Although it is intermittent and sometimes it works, and the responses come from several places, it is obvious that he has not completely perished! We originally thought that he was dismembered and suppressed by the Heavenly Court and imprisoned in several immortal prisons!"

"Stupid! I can't think of that! After my original self dies, if the three corpses survive, they will naturally inherit most of the cause and effect of my original self. However, I only recognize the original Liu Qi. I will never recognize the aliens such as good, evil, and self! And maybe one of the three corpses took away Liu Qi's body and murdered my old friend! Since the last nine-tailed fox is gone, there is no need for me to visit you! Otherwise, why haven't I contacted you for countless years?"

The Taoist master Xuanwu sighed in boredom and lost interest in speaking. He gave Xuyang a look, and his figure became blurred for a moment before disappearing into the mustard seed of heaven and earth again.

Xuyang coughed lightly, and said in a gentle and persuasive way:
"The best ending for Patriarch Liu Qi at this moment is to be possessed by one of the Three Corpses. The Fox Clan has a great enemy outside the Heavenly Court, and is about to become a vassal of the Bai Ze Clan. Moreover, the clan leader has already converted to the Three Corpses Dao, which is no longer orthodox! However, the Sky Fox Clan in the north of the Black Earth Immortal Realm is not all, there is still a six-tailed Sky Fox in the world, and it has become my vassal, worshipping me as the Dao Master. Are you still stubborn and unrepentant?"

Xuyang was naturally referring to Lord Dayan, who had successfully merged his soul and flesh, perfectly transformed into the body of a six-tailed celestial fox, and practiced the ancient barbaric method, almost reaching the realm of casting souls with black gold. At the same time, he and Taoist Xuanwu co-created the "Lord Dayan Infinite Illuminating the Souls". Given time, he would be able to condense the Zhoutian Divine Mirror with the thoughts of one yuan and control the truth and illusion. He would surely be able to recreate the demeanor of the ancestor of the nine-tailed celestial fox, and it would not be impossible for him to surpass his master.

The fate of Lord Dayan was changed by Xuyang. With his extraordinary talent that appears once in billions of years, even Xuyang dared not to predict what realm he could reach.

This time, since Xuyang has met a little three-tailed silver fox, he must try his best to persuade it. If he can win over all the foxes who are still practicing the ancient barbaric methods, it will be equivalent to having a new sky fox clan. Otherwise, how can Dayan be called a clan alone?
"There is another six-tailed fox-sama?"

Yin Nuer was surprised and delighted. This time, she did not hesitate for long. She thought it through in a few breaths, prostrated herself and bowed again: "Greetings, Taoist Master!" (End of this chapter)
