She became a god

The Azure Phoenix, from the perspective of a Daoist couple, is of noble birth, possesses remarkable cultivation, is handsome, and has a gentle temperament, making her the dream lover of most cultivators.

But setting aside this perspective, someone who clearly has ability, family background, and ambition, yet willingly exiles himself for love, is naturally not liked by a cultivator like Wen Xichun who is devoted to the Great Dao.

Ye Qingzhou had also heard his mother, the Empress, use Princess Qingluan as a negative example to teach him a lesson, emphasizing that he should prioritize the greater good, consider the interests of his clan and future generations, and not ruin his life for the sake of petty love.

In fact, Ye Qingzhou did not quite agree with some of the parts about the Empress Dowager's reprimand.

But she knew there was no need to argue.

Before you have the ability to persuade the other party or ensure that you will not be influenced by the other party due to disagreements, all rebuttals and arguments are meaningless.

She had no desire for love or to have children, a sentiment her mother, the Empress, could never understand.

Ye Qingzhou could only stall, stall until the Empress gave up first, or stall until he had enough leverage to persuade the Empress to change her mind.

Returning home this time will surely be another ordeal.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhou smiled and looked at Wen Xichun, "Are you really sure you want to go and see the demon race?"

"nature."

"Alright, alright! But I need to let you know first, so you don't misunderstand."

Wen Xichun wondered to herself, "Is there something I don't know?"

"You said."

Ye Qingzhou's smile faded, and he became very serious. "Do you know why Yuantong initially disliked you?"

Pingcheng Heavenly Fire? No, if the answer were that simple, why would Ye Qingzhou bother to say it?

Could it be that he's afraid his former colleague will expose him?

However, she and Yuantong had promised each other that neither of them would reveal to Ye Qingzhou that the other was an assassin from Canghai Pavilion, so it was not appropriate to break their promise rashly now.

What if Ye Qingzhou was deliberately trying to trick her? Wouldn't she have fallen into his trap?

So Wen Xichun shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that."

"Do you still remember your near-death experience?"

"Does Yuantong think I'm unlucky?"

Ye Qingzhou said, "Although he is a Buddhist, he is not like those pedantic men of the human race. Rather..."

Wen Xichun had a premonition that Ye Qingzhou was about to reveal a fact she didn't want to hear.

"It's because you carry the aura of calamity. Others may not be able to see it, but Yuantong and I can see it, and the little panda clan members can see it too. This is because our clan has the Heavenly Connection Technique, and Yuantong possesses the bloodline of time and space. In our eyes, a cloud of calamity always hangs over your head."

No wonder Yuantong kept his distance from him at Canghai Pavilion; it turned out that he had already foreseen his ill-fated destiny back then.

"Do you know who will be shrouded in the clouds of calamity?"

Before Wen Xichun could answer, Ye Qingzhou continued.

"One type is the vicious and wicked, with immense karma; the other type is those favored by heaven and blessed with good fortune."

“We all know you are the latter. But even if you are destined for greatness in the future, it does not change the fact that you are currently plagued by misfortune. The clouds of calamity are overhead, and your tribulation may affect the surrounding living beings at any time, regardless of whether they are good or bad to you.”

“If you come back to the red panda clan with me, most of the people will avoid you. It’s not that they look down on you, but they don’t want to be implicated by you.”

After finishing speaking in one breath, Ye Qingzhou felt much more relaxed.

She looked up at Wen Xichun nervously, unsure whether he could accept this less-than-ideal fact.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xichun showed no sadness on her face, and only asked, "Are there any other living beings who can see the tribulation clouds above my head?"

“Those who are proficient in divination can certainly see a thing or two, but don’t worry, they must be divination masters of the sixth rank or above. Someone like my junior brother definitely wouldn’t be able to see it.”

Murong Yan: Senior sister, you're really something. You're just doing a commentary, but you also have to step on my foot.

Wen Xichun pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Zhouzhou, would your mother be willing to tell my fortune? I want to hear the truth."

“To be honest, you definitely can’t afford the price right now,” Ye Qingzhou said. “Since I gained sentience, countless cultivators have wanted my mother, the Queen, to tell their fortunes, but very few have actually come to visit. It’s simply because the price is too high, and they can’t afford it.”

"How high exactly?"

"We need a mid-grade Earth-level spiritual treasure and a bottle of grade six pills."

"I truly cannot afford this price now. But if I were able to pay it, would Clan Chief Ye agree?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on my mother's mood."

Wen Xichun knew that this trip to the demon realm would likely not be able to answer some of her questions.

Although the most skilled diviner in the red panda tribe is not the tribe leader Ye Xingming, but Ye Qingzhou's great-grandmother.

However, no matter how confident Wen Xichun was, she didn't think that she, at the Golden Core stage, could impress a Mahayana stage cultivator to perform divination for her.

It seems that the only thing worth looking forward to on the journey to the demon realm is the few members of the Lu family.

"Those who possess the bloodline of time and space can see through the tribulations just like your little panda clan. Your two families are truly destined to meet."

“My great-grandmother thought so too. She told me that she agreed to let my father’s family come here back then because of this historical connection.”

Wen Xichun said, "The Little Panda Clan has the ability to see the tribulation clouds because of their bloodline inheritance. The Lu family may not necessarily have the ability to see the tribulation clouds because of their spatial spiritual roots. Does that mean the Lu family is more talented than the Little Panda Clan?" Or is it that Yuantong is hiding his true abilities, and he clearly has spatial spiritual roots but is keeping it a secret?

Wen Xichun didn't say the last sentence, but Ye Qingzhou guessed Wen Xichun's intention and frowned, saying, "It's probably because the Lu family's bloodline is highly pure, and our clan has also intermarried with other clans."

"The Lu family isn't internally integrated, so how much purer can their bloodline be than yours?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou's expression turned extremely ugly.

Wen Xichun vaguely sensed something was wrong. At this moment, Yuantong also came over. He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, I know you are indifferent to worldly affairs and focused on cultivation. There are some things I didn't want to mention again, but since Zhouzhou has already brought this up and you also want to know, I will tell you."

"If this is difficult..."

Although Wen Xichun was not good at socializing, he realized that he had brought up something he shouldn't have.

Unexpectedly, Yuantong waved his hand and said, "This matter is not exactly a secret."

Yuantong then recounted the bloodline of the Lu family, once the foremost family in Central Continent.

Millions of years ago, on the continent of Yunying, there stood many gods.

Among the gods, there are two god-sisters named Time and Space.

As the Heavenly Way continues to improve, the gods either perish or gradually leave this place.

Since time and space could neither perish nor depart, they decided to use the power of creation to create a race.

After the race was established, the gods of time and space were stripped of their intelligence and transformed into laws to perfect the Great Dao.

Due to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, the clan consists of only one woman and one man. They should have resided in the sky as divine children, but were banished to the land. Thus, they took "Lu" as their surname. The man is Lu Shi, and the woman is Lu Kong. They each inherited a portion of the laws of time and space.

The two were both siblings and husband and wife. They had many children, who intermarried and gradually expanded their clan.

During this process, the Lu family discovered that once they married someone from another family, the power of the spacetime laws of their offspring would be weakened. However, children born from marriages within the clan had pure bloodlines and high talents. Although they had some physical defects, these were not important in the cultivation world where strength reigned supreme.

Therefore, the Lu family has insisted on intermarriage within the clan ever since.

Perhaps it was because the Lu family's abilities were too extraordinary that women in the Lu family could only have three chances to become pregnant in their lifetime.

Moreover, unless they ascend to immortality, members of the Lu family have a lifespan of up to three thousand years.

Therefore, the Lu family's population has grown particularly slowly compared to other ethnic groups.

Until the Lu family was destroyed, the Lu family only had a few thousand members.

Most of the hundreds of thousands of people who were massacred in that year were affiliated families, sects, and servants of the Lu family.

Aside from the ancestors who ascended to heaven, two members of the Lu family survived: Lu Sinian and Lu Mingze (Yuantong).

"If we include Zhouzhou, there are now three people left in our Lu family."

Ye Qingzhou shrugged, "Don't drag me into this. I don't have the surname Lu, and I'm not even in the Lu family genealogy."

I don't want to live only three thousand years!
