Mo Yu Qilin left, knowing that he could not do anything to the other party alone.
Qing Xuan Daoist looked at Sang Tu in the flowers for two glances, and his mind recalled the Xuan Shan Divine Cauldron, which was also a top-grade spiritual treasure, a rare item.
He thought about it, but suppressed his unwarranted thoughts.
Sang Tu must have other spiritual treasures on him, but he couldn't take them.
Because the Qilin clan had sent someone, it must be a supreme being. He did not dare to play such small tricks and lose sight of the big picture.
After taking back the Nether River, the Nether River would be his own person. Then, wouldn't the three ultimate spiritual treasures of his own family also be his? These were not as attractive as the spiritual treasures of the unknown Sang Tu in later generations.
After waiting for over a hundred years, a ray of colorful light descended.
An old man walked into the Netherworld with curiosity.
Qing Xuan Daoist raised his eyebrows slightly. The visitor was the ancestor of the Nine-Colored Deer clan, Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan.
He had originally thought that the Qilin clan would send other supreme beings, but he did not expect it to be this person.
Although the Qilin clan publicly claimed to have only three supreme beings, including the two Qilin Kings, true experts knew that this was merely a cover-up by the Qilin clan.
After all, even though the Dragon clan had five supreme beings that had appeared, there were still other hidden supreme beings that were unknown.
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan was extremely smooth in his dealings, rarely offending any of the major clans. He was also a cultivator at the twenty-fifth heaven of Da Luo, and even the two Qilin Kings treated him with respect. Therefore, this old fox had a good reputation.
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan walked into the cluster of shoreless flowers, smiling and caressing them with his hand. Nine-colored light flickered, and as it entered the shoreless flowers, it appeared and disappeared, revealing profound creations.
He smiled and stood up, saying to Qing Xuan Daoist by the Stone of Three Lives, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to part with a flower and gift it to me?"
Qing Xuan Daoist stood up, smiled, and shook his head, "Every flower and water here is an object of the Earthly Way, not something I can easily give away."
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan was not angered by the refusal. He still smiled and said, "Then how about exchanging it for a treasure?"
Qing Xuan Daoist chuckled, "If you truly want it, you can go to the Vast East Wilderness's Guǎngzhī Plains. Beneath the Jianmu tree, there are also shoreless flowers, although there they are called Luosheng."
"Can I get one there then?"
"Naturally, you can," Qing Xuan Daoist said with a smile, "Your mercy in the Western Wilderness back then, asking for a flower, how could I refuse?"
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan quickly shook his head, "You mustn't say that. Back then, it was because of your great divine abilities that even I couldn't keep you, not that I intentionally did so. After all, the future ultimately belongs to your generation. My old bones are no longer capable."
Qing Xuan Daoist bent down and casually plucked a flower. After looking at it for a moment, he smiled, "I was reckless. Senior, please take him away."
The red flower in his hand spun, and a beam of light shot out, revealing Sang Tu, whose soul was still lost in enchantment.
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan's smile deepened, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your mercy. The Qilin clan will no longer actively seek karma with the Nether River from now on."
Qing Xuan Daoist nodded, "The words of an elder are always trustworthy. However, if Senior has the leisure, why not accompany me on a tour of the current Netherworld?"
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan looked surprised, but his eyes flashed with light, and he smiled, "Fellow Daoist's invitation, I am naturally willing to accept."
Qing Xuan Daoist smiled, "Senior, please!"
A path of shoreless flowers unfolded, blooming with blood-red flowers, extending towards the depths of the Netherworld.
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan put Sang Tu away with a flick of his hand and stepped onto the path of shoreless flowers.
Qing Xuan walked closer to Jiu Xuan with a smile, their distance shrinking from a hundred zhang to within one zhang.
The two of them strolled into the depths of the Netherworld, surrounded by the Yellow Springs River.
What entered Jiu Xuan's sight was that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Netherworld was already sparse, but another kind of spirit filled it. dafengwenxue.com
He opened his mouth and smiled, "Is this the legendary Yin Qi of the Ghost Way?"
Qing Xuan Daoist nodded, "Indeed, it is the Yin Qi created by the Ancestor of Ghosts. The source of all Yin is in Fengdu City, the realm of myriad ghosts. Would Senior like to go and see it?"
"No, no," Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan quickly shook his head, "This Ancestor of Ghosts was my adversary in the Qilin clan. But as an elder, it is not appropriate for me to openly bully a junior. I never expected that after he betrayed the Qilin clan, he would obtain such a great fortune with you."
Qing Xuan smiled faintly and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what?"
"Senior is currently in the depths of the Netherworld, where the myriad Dao does not exist, and the Earthly Way reigns supreme, capable of suppressing all Daos. Moreover, there is me, the master of the Earthly Way. If the Ancestor of Ghosts and I were to attack Senior, and you are walking on my path of shoreless flowers, aren't you afraid of capsizing in the gutter and being left here?"
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan heard the mention of the path of shoreless flowers. His footsteps on the flowers remained steady and confident. He did not ask if he would attack, but instead smiled and asked, "If you and the Ancestor of Ghosts were to join forces, what are your chances?"
Qing Xuan Daoist remained silent for a moment, "I'm not sure. After all, Senior hides his capabilities too deeply."
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan looked at him twice and said, "Although it is only a clone, it is so miraculous. Let me tell you, even if your true body were to come, with the strength of three people, the power of the Earthly Way, and that Jianmu's power, the chance of defeating me would only be one percent, and it wouldn't be a victory for you."
"Then what would be the victory?"
"If the Heavenly Dao or the Demonic Dao, or one of the Three Clans were to attack me simultaneously, then you would have a one percent chance of keeping me." Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan said as if joking, "I am only telling you this because I am within the Earthly Way."
Qing Xuan Daoist was shocked, but he still asked, "Senior's divine abilities are so vast, you must have been a renowned existence even during the era of the Fierce Beasts."
When Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan heard this, he sensed a different meaning and changed the subject, "I wonder how long this Yellow Springs River is?"
Qing Xuan, on the other hand, pressed on, "The Yellow Springs River is naturally not as long as the existence of the Nine-Colored Deer clan, wouldn't you agree, Senior?"
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan chuckled, but then cursed, "What a cunning young man."
He then quickened his pace, putting Qing Xuan behind him, with his hands clasped behind his back, he slowly walked and said, "Do you really want to ask?"
Although Qing Xuan could not see his expression, he could hear the heaviness and沧桑 in his voice.
"Yes, junior seeks guidance from Senior!"
This was the first time in the Netherworld that he referred to himself as a junior, his attitude being extremely sincere.
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan looked up at the sky of the Netherworld, stopped walking, and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said, "Alright, but you must promise me one thing."
"Please speak, Senior."
"This matter is not urgent. I will tell you when the time comes. It does not involve the conflicts between the Three Clans, you can rest assured."
Qing Xuan Daoist nodded, "Thank you, Senior, for considering me."
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan said indifferently, "Ask, today I will tell you everything I know."
Qing Xuan Daoist's heart leaped with joy and he asked, "May I ask when Senior was born?"
Old Ancestor Jiu Xuan pondered for a moment, as if recalling, and said, "It is difficult for me to calculate exactly how long I have lived. I only know that when I was born, Mount Buzhou had not yet fully formed into Buzhou."
Qing Xuan nodded, which meant he was born when Great God Pangu perished, making him one of the oldest living beings.
"Then, Senior, have you heard of a powerful being during the era of the Fierce Beasts named Tai Geng Ancestor, who was ranked among the Ten Great Supremes?"
