Ao Yuan Captured, a Qilin Visit
In the Mount Buzhou region, on a wondrous peak and valley called Phoenix-Perching Mountain, Fuxi and Nuwa, after bidding farewell to Houtu departing Houtu, finally returned to their cave.
Having endured the entire journey, Fuxi finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you lead an outsider to Purple Jade Mountain, sister? We all know that Fellow Daoist Bu Chu's cultivation is low. If the Witch Clan is domineering and engages in acts of force and robbery, wouldn't your actions be harming Fellow Daoist Bu Chu?"
Nuwa smiled and said, "Brother's concerns are not without merit, but they are somewhat unnecessary! Although this is our first meeting with Houtu, I can see that she is gentle and quiet, not the domineering and unreasonable type. Moreover, our Daoist Temple are all located in the Mount Buzhou region. If she wants to do something to Fellow Daoist Bubu, she must consider us! Fellow Daoist Bubu is also gentle and unassuming, and unwilling to leave his Purple Jade Mountain. Apart from a Merit Supreme Treasure, he has nothing else of value..."
"Don't we still have those Spirit Treasure we refined for him?" Fuxi frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask again, "Why is my sister so unwilling to help you, fellow Daoist?"
Nuwa laughed and said, "Brother, why do you say that? Although you were born in the final form of the eighty-one stages of the Great Dao, there is still a trace of bloodline in your body that is similar to ours. It is not wrong for us to regard you as our younger brother. Does an older sister need so many reasons to help her younger brother?"
"Treat him as a younger brother?"
Upon hearing this, Fuxi frowned. He initially wanted to say, "Let's not," as he didn't want a younger brother to compete with him for his sister. However, he worried that Nuwa would be angry if he said it. After all, during their long travels, they hadn't found anyone whose bloodline was even slightly similar to theirs.
Moreover, Wu Chu was indeed quite special. Not only did he possess a bloodline similar to theirs, but Nuwa was also able to sense this and travel thousands of miles to meet him.
Although they initially thought it was their lucky break... in a way, the trip to Purple Jade Mountain did indeed bring them quite a few gains.
However, Wu Chu gained more than he gained. Their friendship was secondary; the most important thing was the arrival of Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, which solved his cultivation problem.
The arrival of Fuxi and Nuwa not only solved his storage problem, but also, together with Hong Yun and the others, resolved the potential threat of the Dragon Clan.
At least Ao Yuan won't bother him again until he's investigated the matter thoroughly.
Time flew by, and countless years passed. Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had been guests at the Dragon Court of the Eastern Sea for many years before leaving the Eastern Sea to continue their travels to the south.
Ao Yuan, who had been fooled by Wu Chu, headed towards Mount Buzhou after leaving Purple Jade Mountain to continue investigating the death of his brother.
Many years after Fuxi and Nuwa returned to Mount Buzhou, Ao Yuan finally learned that a creature had indeed presented a dragon head to the Qilin Clan as a gift. The pair of white dragon horns on that dragon head are now being used as decorations and are hanging in one of the Qilin Royal Clan's Main Hall!
Upon further inquiry, Ao Yuan learned about Tianmu Daoist. Hearing that Tianmu Daoist Temple was not far from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Ao Yuan immediately understood.
It's believed that his younger brother's trip to Purple Jade Mountain might have resulted in him either not encountering the Purple Jade Mountain's master, or encountering him but failing to obtain the Spirit Root, and possibly being injured and then ambushed by Tianmu Daoist Purple Jade Mountain. After all, in a direct confrontation, his brother wouldn't have been so easily killed by Tianmu Daoist, who was at the same cultivation level!
Therefore, his vengeful anger was directly directed at Tianmu Daoist and the Qilin Clan. However, the Qilin Clan was also quite powerful, and the Qilin Royal Court was located at Mount Buzhou, the center of the world. Although the dragon Dragon Clan was also very powerful, they were too far away to reach them and could not do anything to them for the time being. So he decided to find an opportunity to get rid of Tianmu Daoist first.
Wu Chu's initial decision to shift the blame eastward, diverting the Dragon Clan's hatred for Purple Jade Mountain to Tianmu Daoist and the Qilin Clan, was merely an attempt to buy time.
After all, some of Fellow Daoist Tianmu's leaders knew that the Azure Dragon had once been at Purple Jade Mountain.
But he never expected that in just this short time, Ao Yuan would have already uncovered the 'truth'.
Of course, what Wu Chu didn't expect was that Ao Yuan didn't even last until he found Tianmu Daoist to take revenge before he was captured.
Those who captured him took him to Western Mount Sumeru and transformed him into the first demonic dragon in this Primordial World... Of course, that's a story for another time.
When Ao Yuan was reborn, it was a long time later.
On this day, Wu Chu didn't remember how many years he had been in this world. He only knew that after the little stars on the 365 most important acupoints in his body were lit up like Little Suns, his 'Divine Flower' was also activated.
The Three Flowers 'essence, energy, and spirit' gathered at the top of his head, radiating auspicious light that made his body appear like crystal and his mind like a clear mirror. His whole body seemed to have a crystal-clear feeling, and his Primordial Spirit grew significantly.
It must be said that with prolonged cultivation, those distracting thoughts do gradually diminish. Even with Yibao, the Phone Sprite that occasionally teases him, and the Little Fox who sometimes exudes fox-like charm, the erotic thoughts in his heart have still decreased considerably.
With the enhancement of his Primordial Spirit, he became even more adept at cutting off those frivolous thoughts.
Aside from his cultivation level, he had also completely refined the Dragon-Scale Armor that Fuxi had crafted for him. After being refined, the Dragon-Scale Armor emitted a blue light.
When magical power flows into the armor, a vortex of countless tiny vortices appears on its surface. When spells strike it, most of their power is neutralized by these vortices.
When the armor is in the air, its surface forms a vortex; when it enters the water, its surface forms a whirlpool, creating a halo-like effect that makes the armor even more magnificent.
On this very day, the Illusion-Breaking Bell, which had long been refined by Little Moon Spirit and hung in the Main Hall, and which was silent in the wind, suddenly emitted a series of clear tinkling sounds.
The Little Fox's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Wu Chu looked up at the Illusion-Breaking Bell and heard the Little Fox excitedly tell him, "No senior, no senior, my grandfather has arrived, my grandfather has arrived..."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wu Chu's face. He thought to himself that after all these years, he still hadn't taken this Little Fox as his disciple. Could it be that the old fox Qingqiu Chen had come to interrogate him?
Thinking this, Wu Chu took Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox into the air, activating the Guardian Formation Purple Jade Mountain. From afar, he extended his hands in greeting and said, "Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar! Qingqiu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Qingqiu Chen, dressed in a greyish-white robe, paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter, returning the greeting. "Thank you for welcoming me, fellow Daoist. How have you been? Have you been well since we last met?"
The two bowed in mid-air, and then the old fox introduced the middle-aged man who had come with him to Wu Chu, "This is from the Qilin Royal Clan..."
The middle-aged man bowed and smiled, saying, "I am Feng Wu, from Qilin Cliffs. I have never met you before, Fellow Daoist. I have long heard of your name in Qingqiu; it is truly renowned."
Wu Chu returned the greeting to the middle-aged man from Feng Wu, repeatedly saying he dared not accept such a thing. Then, he glanced subtly at the old fox beside him, as if asking: What is the meaning of this?
But the question he asked was, "Is the surname of the Qilin Clan 'Feng'?"
