The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 49: The Journey of the Demon Tribe (4.5k)

After dealing with the trivial matters in Lingxu Cave Heaven, Zhang Shuo informed Ye Fan that they could go to the demon tribe to complete the plan.

Ye Fan and the others were very happy when they knew about this. After all, if this could be accomplished, they would be able to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources, which would undoubtedly be a timely help for the three people who were in urgent need of cultivation resources.

Before heading to the demon tribe, Zhang Shuo first discussed various plans and the roles each of them would play with Ye Fan and the others.

This time when he goes to the demon tribe, Pangbo has to pretend to be a high-ranking figure of the demon tribe, that is, the ancestor-level figure of the Qing Emperor's lineage - King Qinglian, who is a second-level saint lord of the immortal platform.

Ye Fan and his companions play the role of Pang Bo's subordinates, and are the talented people who are prepared to be vigorously cultivated. After all, Ye Fan and Li Xiaoman are both very talented, especially Ye Fan, who has an ancient holy body. Of course, he cannot say to the outside world that he has an ancient holy body, but can only say that he has a special physique.

The key point is the role that Zhang Shuo is going to play. Zhang Shuo plays a sealed genius of the Qinglian lineage, who chooses to be unsealed and come out in this era when the great world is about to begin. And he is accompanied by a sealed saint and a great saint weapon to protect Zhang Shuo.

It was impossible to understand from the memories obtained by Pangbo that the Qinglian lineage is now too withered, and the one with the highest cultivation level is the Qinglian King - the one pretended by Pangbo.

Now Yan Ruyu has obtained the emperor's weapon, the Chaos Green Lotus, but without a strong person to wield it, even if she possesses the emperor's weapon, it will be difficult for her to have much say among the demon clan. At most, she can get some respect, and there are even many people who covet the emperor's weapon.

But respect is useless. Resources and voice are the most important. However, the Qinglian lineage now has no strong people, only a name. However, this also gave Zhang Shuo and Ye Fan an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhang Shuo randomly selected a lucky elder from Lingxu Cave Heaven, drew a drop of blood from the Demon Emperor's heart, and injected it into the elder's body to help him simulate the breath of the demon clan.

Afterwards, he re-refined a broken holy weapon that Zhang Shuo had obtained, used the elder's body as the formation base, the holy weapon as the formation eye, and a large amount of source as energy, and arranged a large formation in his body so that he possessed the aura of the fourth-level saint realm of Xiantai.

Together with the Great Sage Weapon that Zhang Shuo had fully refined, he now had a saintly protector who possessed the Great Sage Weapon. Although it was just a mere shell with an aura, it was enough to scare people.

The preparations were basically completed. Zhang Shuo took Ye Fan and the others and set off according to the location agreed upon by the demon tribe and Pang Bo.

Zhang Shuo used his divine power to take Ye Fan and the other three to fly on the divine rainbow to a valley far away from the State of Yan. Zhang Shuo got the location information from Pang Bo and flew directly there.

They landed in front of a big mountain. It was filled with clouds and mist, and the forests were dense and lush. There was a special aura of vigorous vitality all around. Zhang Shuo understood this very well, because this was the vitality of the Chaos Green Lotus bloodline.

The crowd passed through the fog and came to the entrance of a valley. In front of the entrance stood a stone tablet with "Qinglian Valley" engraved on it.

In Zhang Shuo's perception, the valley was arranged with formations and source techniques, but they were not very profound and easy to crack. It seemed that the Qinglian lineage was really in decline.

Pangbo took out the token and soon a divine rainbow came to the entrance. It was a young woman who came in front of everyone, holding a token similar to the one in Pangbo's hand: "Lord Qinglian King, welcome back!"

"Well, take us into the valley. Where is Princess Yan Ruyu? If she is in the valley, take us to see the princess first."

"The princess is waiting for you in the valley. We'll take you there right away. But who are these people?" The young maid looked at Zhang Shuo, Ye Fan and others with some confusion.

"Let's go see the princess first, and we'll talk about the details later." Pangbo said with dignity, not intending to explain anything to the maid.

Although the maid was Yan Ruyu's subordinate, she naturally did not dare to say much in front of Pang Bo, and hurriedly led everyone into the valley.

Once you enter the valley, you will see medicinal fields everywhere. Each field is managed by a demon clan member. In the front is a huge palace gate. Inside the palace gate, there are palaces, towers, mountain springs, waterfalls, corridors and courtyards. The crowd passes through many towers and corridors and arrives at the door of a palace. A woman in a skirt greets everyone at the door.

The woman in the lead was wearing a green palace dress. It was not luxurious but it made her look noble and gorgeous. She had a shawl with three thousand black silk threads, and her temperament was as pure as snow and as otherworldly as an immortal. There were many young girls from the demon tribe around her who had cute and charming faces, but they all paled in comparison to this woman.

"Junior greets King Qinglian. Congratulations on his new life." The leader was Yan Ruyu. As a princess of the demon clan, she didn't have to come to greet him, but King Qinglian was the only pillar of the Qinglian lineage and her elder, so Yan Ruyu had to show respect.

"Princess, you are too polite. Let's go in and talk first. My Qinglian lineage will have great changes in the future. Let's go in and talk in detail." Pang Bo said to Yan Ruyu with the words he had prepared in advance, and lowered his body slightly to let Zhang Shuo and the bodyguard go in first, and then went in with Ye Fan and others.

Looking at Pang Bo's actions, Yan Ruyu looked at Zhang Shuo with some confusion, thinking carefully about Pang Bo's intention.

Zhang Shuo now wore a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with faint dragon, phoenix and cloud patterns, a glittering belt, and an exquisite golden hair crown with pearls, which further highlighted the handsome boy's extraordinary appearance. His entire body was filled with a mysterious and profound aura of creation, which attracted Yan Ruyu to take a few more glances, and the maid beside him had shining eyes.

However, a charming and beautiful woman sitting on Yan Ruyu's right looked at Zhang Shuo deeply, and then entered the palace with Yan Ruyu.

When they arrived at the palace, Yan Ruyu sat on the main seat, with a beautiful woman waiting on the side, Zhang Shuo sat on the side of the second protector, and Pang Bo sat next to Zhang Shuo. Ye Fan and Li Xiaoman did not sit down but stood on both sides of Pang Bo.

"I'm sure the princess is quite confused. Let me introduce this young master. He is the pride of our Qinglian lineage. Now that the great world is about to begin, he has chosen to be born. The old man next to him is a protector of the saint realm."

As soon as Pang Bo finished speaking, Yan Ruyu and the beautiful woman next to him were shocked. At this time, Zhang Shuo also appropriately released the aura of the Green Lotus bloodline in his body, and the protector next to him also revealed a hint of holy power.

"This... this young man is actually the genius of our Qinglian lineage!" Yan Ruyu said in surprise.

"That's right, princess can also feel the blood aura of the young master, right?" Pangbo explained on the side.

Yan Ruyu could certainly identify the aura of the Green Lotus bloodline in Zhang Shuo, but this matter was too shocking.

"Junior Yan Ruyu greets you, sir." Yan Ruyu stood up and bowed to Zhang Shuo.

"Princess, you don't have to do this. I am just an ordinary practitioner of the Qinglian lineage. I won't take over the master's position. I just didn't expect the Qinglian lineage to be in such a bad situation now. I hope to cooperate with the princess in the future and revive the reputation of the Qinglian lineage."

Zhang Shuo expressed his good intentions to Yan Ruyu, saying that he had no intention of seizing power, but only wanted to revive the Qinglian lineage.

"Nowadays, the current situation of the Qinglian lineage is indeed not good, which made the seniors laugh at us. However, now that we have welcomed back the imperial soldiers, we can guarantee the inheritance of the Qinglian lineage in the future." Yan Ruyu said with some bitterness. The Qinglian lineage nowadays was indeed declining too much, which made Yan Ruyu feel a little bitter when facing the seniors who were sealed up in the clan.

"Don't worry. My protector is at the saint level and possesses a great saint weapon. He is enough to maintain the dignity of the Qinglian lineage." Zhang Shuo smiled to Yan Ruyu.

"Great Saint Weapon, Saint Realm, that's really great." Yan Ruyu was already surprised enough when she heard Pang Bo say that this protector was at the Saint Realm. She didn't expect that there was a Great Saint Weapon at the Saint Realm that was enough to activate part of the Great Saint Weapon's power.

The major saints in the current Beidou are only at the level of great power, and the higher ones are only at the level of the king of the way of killing, and there is not a single saint. A saint holding a great saint weapon, or even a saint who can use an emperor weapon, brings a completely different deterrent force.

Yan Ruyu knew very well that the time had come for the Qinglian lineage to rise.

"By the way, of the two humans behind me, one is a genius with a special physique, and the other is also extremely talented and gifted in alchemy. They are our own people who can be trained as my special subordinates." Pang Bo also appropriately explained the situation of Ye Fan and Li Xiaoman to Yan Ruyu, helping the two to determine their future identities in the demon clan.

"Oh, one has a special physique, and the other has a talent for alchemy! They should be trained well." Yan Ruyu believed Pang Bo's words without a doubt, and when she learned that they were two talented people, she naturally agreed.

"I wonder what plans the young master has for the future, or what arrangements he has for the Qinglian lineage?" Although Yan Ruyu learned from Zhang Shuo that he would not seize power, after all, his identity was there, and he had a saint-level protector, so she should respect Zhang Shuo's suggestions.

"It's nothing. I just plan to make the news of my birth public first to restore the prestige of my Qinglian lineage. After that, all the decisions will be left to the princess." Zhang Shuo wanted to create a vest for himself through the Qinglian lineage to facilitate his actions. Although Zhang Shuo was not afraid of any force, if there was no force supporting him, the birth of a genius would cause a lot of trouble. This was the case with Ye Fan in the original novel.

"Of course. With the young master's help, the Qinglian lineage will be able to regain its reputation." Yan Ruyu would naturally not reject Zhang Shuo's suggestion. This would be beneficial to both her and the Qinglian lineage.

"I think the young master and King Qinglian are a little tired after the journey. Let the maid take you to choose a place to rest." Yan Ruyu made arrangements for Zhang Shuo, Ye Fan and others.

"Okay, we're a little tired after all the running around, so let's take a rest first." Zhang Shuo naturally noticed that something was wrong with Yan Ruyu, but he didn't point it out and just walked down the stairs she was walking on.

Afterwards, the surrounding maids took Zhang Shuo, the protector, Ye Fan, Li Xiaoman and others out of the palace, while Pang Bo stayed there.

inside the palace

"Ancestor, why haven't you heard of my Qinglian lineage and the geniuses sealed away before?" Yan Ruyu asked Pang Bo after everyone left.

“I was a little confused about this matter at first, but my ancestors left behind a token saying that it would be of some use when the great era is about to begin. Not long ago, after I successfully took over another person’s body, the token sent a message, and then I learned about this matter.” After saying that, Pang Bo handed a green lotus jade pendant to Yan Ruyu, which was prepared by Zhang Shuo in advance.

Zhang Shuo had long expected that Yan Ruyu would not believe it easily. Even with the scent of Qinglian bloodline, Yan Ruyu would still have some doubts in her heart.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo refined a jade pendant made of the Demon Emperor's essence and blood in advance, and infused some information into it. This information was encrypted based on the scriptures of the "Green Emperor Sutra". In this way, he could successfully deceive Yan Ruyu and gain her trust.

Sure enough, after Yan Ruyu took the Green Lotus Jade Pendant and felt the information coming from it, the doubts in her heart were completely resolved.

"I didn't expect that our ancestors would really seal off a genius and leave a protector. This is great! My Qinglian lineage is now in need of a strong person to take charge. With the help of that protector and the imperial weapon I just found, the current situation of my Qinglian lineage can finally change."

Yan Ruyu was particularly excited after confirming Zhang Shuo's identity. She had been under a lot of pressure all along. As a princess of the Qinglian lineage, she knew that she had the responsibility of reviving the reputation of the Qinglian lineage.

Every time there was an internal gathering of the demon clan, when the leaders of the major demon forces gathered together, she, who was a demon princess on paper, could only receive hypocritical respect from everyone. All these made her deeply feel the difficult situation of the Qinglian lineage.

After much difficulty, they successfully brought back the imperial weapon, the Chaos Green Lotus. However, it was also coveted by various demon clans, some of which made no effort to conceal their greed.

With only the imperial soldiers' deterrence but without enough strong people in charge, it would be impossible to deter the major demon forces. Now, the arrival of Zhang Shuo and others is undoubtedly a timely help, and it also makes Yan Ruyu, who has been tense all this time, breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, Yan Ruyu decisively gathered her subordinates to discuss how to announce the information of Zhang Shuo's birth, so as to revive the reputation of the Qinglian lineage.

At this time, Zhang Shuo was following the charming and beautiful woman beside Yan Ruyu to the palace where she lived.

This charming young woman has a slender body, graceful figure, charming temperament, and a red mole in the middle of her forehead, which adds a unique charm to her.

When Zhang Shuo saw this woman for the first time, he knew that she was the charming Qin Yao in the original novel.

"Is the young master just born?" Qin Yao asked Zhang Shuo with a charming smile.

"As soon as I was born, I saw King Qinglian waiting for me outside, so I followed him directly here." Zhang Shuo knew that Qin Yao was testing him so he said what he had prepared in advance.

"Young master was unexpectedly specially sealed by the Qinglian lineage and preserved for the next generation. He must be very powerful." Qin Yao quietly approached Zhang Shuo while speaking and gently stroked Zhang Shuo's shoulder with her hand.

Zhang Shuo could feel a faint wave sweeping across his body. This wave was very subtle. If Zhang Shuo's perception was not amazing enough, he would not have been able to detect it.

It seems that this is Qin Yao's innate ability. Ordinary secret techniques do not have such an effect. This kind of fluctuation is particularly obscure. It does not seem to be acquired through training. It should be innate.

Zhang Shuo calmly displayed some strength, exposing part of his blood and divine power to Qin Yao's perception.

Qin Yao felt the majestic energy and blood force and the terrifyingly high-quality divine power in Zhang Shuo's body, and was deeply shocked.

"Is this the top genius who was specially sealed away? His strength is indeed terrifying. I can't defeat him with just my physical strength." Qin Yao thought secretly in her heart. She was very confident in her own perception ability. Even people who were much stronger than herself could not discover her talent.

"The birth of the young master is really great for our Qinglian lineage. The Qinglian lineage is now in a very awkward position among the demon race. The princess has worked very hard for the Qinglian lineage. Now that the young master is here, the burden on the princess can be lightened a lot."

Qin Yao suddenly praised Zhang Shuo and said some nice things, but Zhang Shuo knew very well that this was also a test.

"Now, I have learned a lot about the situation of the Qinglian lineage from King Qinglian. Princess Yan Ruyu is also very capable. I believe that even without my appearance, she can still lead the Qinglian lineage to rise."

Zhang Shuo humbly declined Qin Yao's compliments. He knew very well that Qin Yao had deep feelings for Yan Ruyu, and what she said just now was to test his rights over the Qinglian lineage and whether she had any special intentions.

Zhang Shuo naturally had no interest in the power of the Qinglian lineage. He was only interested in the Qingdi soldiers and certain people. As long as his cultivation was high enough, power would be within his reach.

The two had a pleasant conversation, laughing all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace prepared for Zhang Shuo.

"Then I won't disturb your rest today. The servants will bring up the spiritual food and spiritual wine that have been prepared for you. You can have a good rest now."

Afterwards, Qin Yao left the palace, presumably to return to Yan Ruyu. At this time, Zhang Shuo was looking at Qin Yao's back and thinking.
