Journey to the head

The true dragon king who turns the oceans upside down.

Hearing this name again, Lu Qian concentrated even more. The more he understood and the more he came into contact with, he unknowingly became closer to those legends, far surpassing most of the cultivators in this world.

Lu Qian also became increasingly aware that the shadow of the Heavenly Sovereign was behind many events in this world.

The Lord of Life and Death once warned himself:
"Any cultivator should not try to peek into the secrets of heaven. The more you try, the more harm it will do you!"

"The Yuanchen Realm is not that safe. Many Heavenly Monarchs have their own forces and tentacles."

But ever since the incident at Miaofa Tianjun's temple, it was as if a switch had been turned on, and I would always be constantly involved in people and things related to Tianjun.

In the past, it was the foundation-building stage, and now it is the golden elixir stage. Even though being involved in the Tianjun incident has brought me many benefits until today, I must always be vigilant. I am just a small, insignificant mortal cultivator, and if I am not careful, I will be wiped out if I am not careful. I must not be complacent.

Seeing that Lu Qian was listening attentively, Ji Yunrou said slowly: "The twists and turns here need to be explained from the beginning."

"The 'demon race' that humans talk about is actually a false concept. Jackals, tigers, leopards, pigs, cows, horses, sheep, and even plants, trees, bamboos, and rocks can all be infused with the sun and moon, and can be enlightened by spiritual energy and cultivate into demons. Are they the same race?"

"Can wolves and sheep love each other? Can lions and tigers coexist peacefully? It's just that when facing the huge and powerful human race, the monsters have to join hands to protect themselves, and it seems that they have formed a united front."

"So the so-called 'demon tribe' actually does its own thing and is not subordinate to each other. Everyone has their own traditions and beliefs."

"Over time, people with extraordinary talents and amazing luck gradually ascended to become immortals. Races with similar bloodlines, characteristics, and habits gradually banded together to become a unified race, and they all worshipped a Heavenly Sovereign in order to seek the protection of the True Immortals."

"For example, most of the aquatic creatures and scaly creatures in the sea worship the True Dragon Lord who turns the oceans upside down."

"Of course, even among such a group of people, there are differences. It can be said that there are small circles within the big circle, and there are small groups within the small circle."

Lu Qian was filled with emotion after hearing this. These alien races were at an absolute disadvantage, but they still could not integrate into one. No wonder they could not escape the fate of being swept away by humans. But this was also determined by the race itself, just as Ji Yunrou said, wolves and sheep cannot sit at the same table, and lions and tigers cannot sit at the same table. It is really destiny.

In this way, human beings are truly blessed with natural talents and are the darlings of heaven and earth.

To put it another way, at any time, division is the original sin, and only unity can bring hope.

"And the native underground races, or generally called the Hundred Underground Races, originally revered the Fifth Heavenly Sovereign who was born as an underground native, had extraordinary talent, overcame all difficulties, and finally ascended to become an immortal—"

"Endless and infinite Hou Tu Tianjun."

"After the True Immortal Disaster started, both sides played chess and used all kinds of tricks."

"In order to weaken the power of True Dragon Lord, one of the leaders of the Twenty-Three Heavenly Lords, Hou Tu, who is in the Ten Heavenly Lords camp, tried to lure out the snake tribe under True Dragon Lord."

"This lure was not completely successful, but some of the snakes still defected to Hou Tu Tianjun."

"After the Ten Heavenly Lords lost their power, this part of the snake tribe could only follow Hou Tu Heavenly Lord into the depths of the earth. After tens of thousands of years, they eventually became the blind snake tribe today."

"Wait a minute." Lu Qian couldn't help but interrupt, "The Infinite Heavenly Lord Hou Tu is now underground?!"

"It's called underground, but actually the entrance to Hou Tu Tianjun's heaven is underground, that is, in the holy city of the underground demon country. Of course, I heard that this entrance has long been invalid." Ji Yunrou explained, "But I'm just a new demon, so I don't know the specific situation."

Lu Qian nodded. After the Luotian Immortal Forbidden Tent was lowered, the immortals were not allowed to come to the mortal world. The heavens and the Yuanchen world were also directly blocked. Even the Miaofa Tianjun, who had countless means, was helpless. The Tianjun who was in charge of the Thunder Prison and monitored the life and death of all realms had to pay a huge price. There was no reason for Houtu Tianjun to be exempt.

"The blind snake clan also paid the price for their betrayal. They were hated and cursed by the True Dragon Lord, and forever lost the qualification to evolve into the dragon clan."

So that's why this is the reason why no matter how skilled the big and small blind snakes are, they cannot transform into dragons.

"Then how did you, a snake demon transformed from a human, become their saint inexplicably?"

Ji Yunrou smiled and said, "Master Lu, don't worry. I was just about to talk about this. The one-third of the true dragon blood you gave me can indeed increase my life span by fifty years. But after all, I don't have a natural spiritual root, and I have lost the blessing of the spiritual veins and the supply of the sect. It is really difficult for me to advance to the golden elixir in fifty years."

"What awaits me is most likely death from old age."

"So in order to save myself, I can only follow the secret method of Meng Chi to degenerate the blood of the real dragon into a snake, thus achieving the purest snake bloodline."

"A ray of blood from the supreme True Dragon Lord is enough for me to stand at the pinnacle of the snake clan, achieve the body of a holy snake, and become the descendant of the ancestral snake."

"The snake tribe has its own secret method of hibernation. As long as there is sufficient supply of materials during hibernation, the speed of cultivation will be halved but the consumption of lifespan can be reduced to a quarter!"

"I see." Lu Qian had roughly understood, but he still had some questions, "Because you have the body of a holy snake, you are honored as a saint by this blind snake tribe? Then what does it have to do with the centipede tribe? Why did they come to snatch you?"

"The centipede family is actually related to snakes and belongs to the scale family. I can be the saint of blind snakes, and I can also be their saint."

"My encounter with the Chen clan of blind snakes was accidental. Before that, I had no intention of joining the underground world. Later, Elder Chen Gu treated me with great courtesy, and I learned about the situation from him."

"Every five hundred years, the hundreds of clans underground will elect their own saint sons and saint daughters to enter the holy land to participate in the trial. The result of the trial will directly determine the status and treatment of this clan in the next five hundred years."

"The only requirement for being a Saint Son or Saint Daughter is to have pure blood, and I happen to meet this requirement."

Seeing that Lu Qian wanted to ask more questions, Ji Yunrou smiled helplessly: "I know what Sect Leader Lu wants to ask, but I don't know anything more specific. The underground world has developed for tens of thousands of years and is very mysterious. Meng Chi doesn't have any information in his memory."

"I don't know what the content of the trial is, or what results the trial will produce. I only know that the blind snake clan didn't get good results in the last trial, and now their branches are scattered everywhere, all looking for people with pure bloodlines."

"Each tribe can only have one Saint Son and one Saint Daughter. So theoretically, I, as the Saint Daughter, may have to compete with candidates found by other branches of the Blind Snake Tribe before I can take on the position."

"So strictly speaking, I am still just a candidate for the Saint."

They had been chatting for half an hour and had asked all the questions they could. Guessing that the blind snakes and centipedes outside were fighting fiercely, Lu Qian took a deep breath.

"Madam Ji, are you really determined to become the saint? We are not at a deep place yet. If we really follow the blind snake clan, we don't know how long it will take before we can see the sun again." Lu Qian said in a deep voice.

"Even if you become a demon, you can still find a place on the ground to practice meditation. If nothing else, as long as you are willing, I will take you out and will find a good place for you to hide."

"Besides, you once had the idea of ​​rebuilding the Shenjiao Sect, but now..." Ji Yunrou was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head: "I remember the kindness of Sect Leader Lu. But the past cannot be changed. I am now a demon body and cannot return to the human world. And because of Meng Chi, the ground is too dangerous for me."

She suddenly smiled and said, "In order to see the sun, you may not be able to see the sun tomorrow."

"Every bite and every drink is determined by fate. A blessing in disguise? After coming into contact with the underground race, I found that they have simple minds and simple logic, which makes me feel relieved."

"I think I have some skills, and it's easy for me to deal with these simple little snakes. Plus, with the body of the holy snake, I can realize my ambitions here and have a better development."

"Besides." She nodded at Lu Qian twice, "You're already tied up like a dumpling now. I still need to think about how to say a few good words for you so that you can get out of this situation successfully. How can you take me away?"

Lu Qian laughed and said, "How about asking Madam Ji to step back a few steps? The magic power is blind, please don't hurt Madam by mistake."

Ji Yunrou was startled. Suddenly, a breath of destruction that could break everything apart was rising from the white scale lock!

Five-colored light was blooming from under the white snake skin that was said to be indestructible even by an ordinary Nascent Soul.

The five-colored divine light surged up, breaking everything and revealing everything!

Ji Yunrou was horrified and hurriedly stepped back. With a hissing sound, the white scale lock was split in two before her dull eyes!

Lu Qian waved his arms, and the five-colored light disappeared. He had broken free from the seemingly invincible restraints and walked out with big strides!

"Madam Ji." Lu Qian took a deep breath, "You still have a chance to regret now while the blind snake tribe has not yet returned."

After a pause, he said seriously: "Although you have transformed into a demon body, your heart is still human. I'm afraid you will have a hard time in the underground demon kingdom in the future."

"I'm going to go back now, do you want to come with me?"

Ji Yunrou stared at Lu Qian blankly. Although she covered her eyes with a white veil, Lu Qian could still feel the complicated gaze.

The next moment, Ji Yunrou suddenly burst into laughter, and instantly returned to her original seductive and charming attitude.

"Why, are you really planning to keep me out there secretly? Truth will come to light sooner or later. If Qingfeng and Nishang find out, I'm afraid your family will be in trouble~"

She leaned closer intimately, swaying her soft waist and pressing her cold fingers against Lu Qian's lips.

"Lu Lang, if I were a hundred years younger, I would probably be completely obsessed with you."

"It's a pity that I'm not getting any younger."

"I, Ji Yunrou, am not a canary that can be kept in a cage. I'm afraid Lu Lang can't give me what I want."

"So, my dear, stop here and don't say anything more."

Lu Qian looked at her deeply, and when he was about to speak, his consciousness suddenly moved.

"A snake demon is coming."

It came very quickly, but its cultivation was not high. He stepped back a few steps, and with his spiritual power, he picked up the white scale lock that was broken into two pieces on the ground, and wrapped it around his body a few times, disguising himself as being tied up before. As long as the other party didn't get close to check, it wouldn't be a problem to deceive the little demon with low cultivation.

Ji Yunrou also clapped her hands left and right, awakening the two pythons that had fallen into a dream.

This was a dream secret technique inherited from Meng Chi, so it was naturally extraordinary. The two pythons could not distinguish between dreams and reality, and they only felt that they were always monitoring Lu Qian. Lu Qian and Ji Yunrou only had a few simple conversations and did not speak again.

There was a sound of scales sliding, and a blind snake poked its head out from a hole in the stone wall, shouting anxiously, "Lady Saint, the battle is not going well, Elder Chen Gu asked you to retreat to the crack in the shell first!"

Ji Yunrou was startled and looked up: "What's going on? The overall strength of the centipede is obviously not as good as our Chen clan blind snake!"

"This time the centipede got an ice orb from somewhere!" the python said anxiously, "You know, we snakes are most afraid of the cold. That orb is filled with freezing air and thousands of feet of ice. Elder Chen Gu was intercepted by the other party's Nascent Soul, and it's difficult for us to even get close to it, let alone destroy it!"

"Anyway, Saint Lady, let's go! We will hold out for a while, and then we will retreat. We will meet again in the crack of the snail shell!"

The python shouted in one breath, then shrank back into the cave and rushed towards the battlefield again.

The two blind snakes on the left and right were a little panicked and swam over to persuade Ji Yunrou to leave quickly, while Ji Yunrou looked at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian pondered for a moment and made a decision: "If you want to be the Saint of the Blind Snake, I will lend you a helping hand."

"After this is done, I want Master Meng Chi's memories!"

Ji Yunrou nodded readily: "Deal!"

On the ground, the sun has already risen, and the mountains are covered with rosy clouds.

Under the jurisdiction of Yunshan Sect, at Banlanpo, a small immortal cultivation family is located, known as the Banlan Liu Family.

The Liu family is a Qi training family. Thirty-three years ago, they were a vassal family of the Yongcui Valley Foundation Building Sect under the Liyuan Sect of Sanshan County.

However, the Yunshan Sect defeated the Liyuan Sect and swallowed up a quarter of the land in Sanshan County with Mianlong Mountain as its core, and became the new owner of Yongcui Valley.

The eight Qi-training sects in this land were all worried and terrified when facing the new rule of the Yunshan Sect.

Fortunately, Yunshan Sect Leader Lu Qian ruled his subordinates with the kingly way and acted magnanimously. He directly took all these Qi training sects as subordinate sects of Yunshan Sect, and also issued laws for the subordinate sects, prohibiting subordinates from attacking each other.

From being a vassal of a foundation-building sect, they were promoted to subordinates of a large golden elixir sect. These small Qi-training sects would wake up laughing in their dreams. From then on, they each lived in their own territory, practiced hard, and comprehended the great Dao.

Liu He, the head of the Liu family, has now reached the state of perfection in Qi training.

As soon as he stood in the courtyard, he heard the hoarse and painful moans of a woman coming from the courtyard of his eldest son Liu Xi. (End of this chapter)
