Yun Yang understood at once.
It seemed that the nine people in front of him were led by the East Celestial Palace's He Buyu, who was guarding this pass.
He Buyu looked at Yun Yang with an inexplicable expression and said, "You have the Fox King's Token in the Demonic Realm. It should be able to protect your life. However, there is still something to consider, and that is … to guard your heart. "
Yun Yang nodded. "Please enlighten me, senior."
"The customs and practices of the Demonic Realm are very different from those of the human realm. The great cultivators of the Demonic Race often have the ability to change their forms and are best at bewitching people. Although your cultivation base is high, you are still a young man after all. Moreover, your vital Yang energy has yet to be broken and you are full of vigor and vigor. You are most easily bewitched by beauty. You have to be especially careful about this. A single misstep can cause you to suffer for eternity. Be careful. "
Yun Yang accepted it humbly. "Yes."
He Buyu thought about it and still felt uneasy. "Young friend, if you don't mind, I can imprint an Immovable Foundation Seal into your soul. It can ensure that you are not tempted by anything. Your heart will be as steady as a rock and as immovable as a mountain. It's even better than the Spell of Frozen Heart."
Yun Yang thought about it and said, "There's no need for that. If I am tempted, my soul will be unstable when I return. Seniors can just kill me directly. This trip to the Demonic Realm is a cultivation experience for this junior. Only by experiencing it personally can it be considered a personal treasure. If I really can't make it through, then it's my fate and I have nothing to do with anyone. "
He smiled confidently. "If you need to rely on others to protect you for everything, I believe seniors wouldn't have become peerless experts who can control the safety of the world."
He Buyu's eyes were filled with admiration as he said, "That's right. You have such a temperament. I am the one who worries too much."
The other elders also showed admiration in their eyes. "That's good. Cultivators don't have so many concerns. If they are overcautious about everything in the world, how can they be decisive?"
The Fox King slept for a full six hours.
During these six hours, the other nine elders gathered at the side to drink tea. They didn't even talk and were collectively silent.
Looking at the rolling green tea leaves in their cups, each of them seemed to be deep in thought. The rising fragrance of the tea reminded them of something. All of their souls seemed to have gone far away, and their eyes were filled with boundless blankness.
Yun Yang felt a little embarrassed as he watched, saying in a low voice, "Seniors, why don't you go home and have a look when the next shift happens? Staying here will always make you feel lonely. It's true that it's lonely at the top, but it's too bleak and lonely."
Su Yunshui chuckled and murmured, "Home? How could old farts like us have a home … "
The others smiled bitterly at the same time.
"Now, we are most envious of the Wu brothers and their entire family … After so many years, not only are their brothers and sisters still alive, but there are also more than ten of them. Even their father and mother are still alive and living comfortably … That is truly a blessing …"
Big Brother Wu smiled sadly, "My parents are still alive, and they are living a good life. The Wu Family is a big family, and it is a fact that we have a lot of people. There were thirty-one of us brothers and sisters … Now, there are thirty-two of us. Each of us has our own fate. Each of us has lived for a long time, and this is also a fact. During that period of time, we did enjoy all of your envy, and this is also a fact."
"However, great families have their own sorrows … There will always be those who are slightly less gifted … Starting from about seven thousand years ago, some of us brothers finally started to fall … Every few hundred years, we have to send one away. After another few hundred years, when the scars have slightly healed, we send another one away … You guys are done once and for all, there's only nostalgia and memories left, but we … we are destroyed again and again …"
"Just five hundred years ago, there were still ten of us. Now, the tenth is lying on the bed … He's hanging on for more than a hundred years, dying countless times, but we've all been saved …"
"Do you know this feeling?"
"F * cking hell, you've experienced it a few times and you're already feeling terrible. What about us, including our wives, sons, concubines, and grandchildren, each of us has to go through it a thousand times on average!"
"No matter what happens to your descendants, they won't even blink. Our blood ties have faded, but we still have our brothers and sisters who are fighting for their lives!"
"This old fart actually says that he's envious of us …" Second Elder Wu snorted angrily. "Why don't we try swapping? Let's see if you can take a baby calling you brother! "
The other eight elders were silent.
Who would be happier?
This was a difficult question to answer!
Every family has its own problems. This was indeed a famous saying from ancient times, unchanging since ancient times!
Yun Yang sighed and recited softly, "Everyone says that longevity is good, but I want to ask what's good about it? After a hundred years of a young couple, who would look at them alone? Brotherly love is as vast as the mountains and seas, who would bear it once they die? Filial piety to their children and grandchildren, who would bury them when the soil is gone? Others reincarnate while I live forever, who knows loneliness? … "
"This is the ultimate state of longevity that the emperors, generals, and ministers yearn for … However, once one's state of mind is lost, it's no different from falling into the most torturous abyss of the human world …"
Yun Yang's words made the nine wise elders fall into silence at the same time.
Yun Yang's words were not wrong at all. It was the truth.
In this world, no one could live without a partner – friends, brothers, lovers, children and grandchildren …
However, everyone present was the kind of people who could live until all their partners died and still continue to live for many, many years. It could even be said that as long as they were not killed, they could live forever …
Living forever in this world was not a form of torture.
Take the nine elders present for example. Their contributions to the human race were undeniable and undeniable, but it was not as if they had not absorbed a sense of duty from the heavy responsibility of protecting the human race. That was why their state of mind had never been dispirited.
They were all sensible people, so no one spoke when their thoughts were clear.
However, when they occasionally met the gazes of others, they vaguely cherished the moments just now.
Right now, only this group of old brothers could still gather together, talk, reminisce about the past, and walk on together …
They could no longer understand what the young people were talking about …
It was also because of this that Yun Yang's presence was no longer as harmonious as before with the elders' aura. The atmosphere grew more and more oppressive.
Just as the atmosphere reached its most oppressive and unbearable point, the Fox King opened his eyes abruptly, waking up coincidentally.
A gleam of loneliness flashed across the Demon King's eyes before he chuckled. "A bunch of old fellows are letting their imaginations run wild again. It's been so many years, every time I hear you talk about this topic, I feel like fighting to vent the anger in my heart! All of you are too senseless. What's the big deal about your little thoughts? At the very least, we won't die of old age in this lifetime. Isn't this already stronger than many people? "
The Fox King's words made the group burst into laughter again, the tense atmosphere dissipating.
The Fox King turned to Yun Yang. "Child, are you ready?"
Yun Yang lifted his head calmly. "I've long been prepared. I'm just waiting for senior's convenience."
The Fox King's voice returned to its usual indifference. "There's something you have to know. I've eaten your meal and drank your wine to repay your karma. The rise and fall of fate, it's all karma … I didn't mean to help you. Therefore, I can only send you in and protect you. However, when you go to the Demonic Realm, you won't get my help for anything related to it. You're not allowed to use my name to carry out any matters. Do you understand? "
"There's one more point that needs to be made clear. In the Demon Plain, there are no less than ten Demon Kings who are not beneath me in terms of cultivation base or status! "
"You can't afford to offend any one of these existences. If you act recklessly and offend them … then it's beyond the scope of my protection. I can't possibly become enemies with my clansmen for you."
The Fox King looked at Yun Yang, his gaze cautious. "You have to be prepared. Even with a little bit of my protection, there's still no guarantee that you can come back alive! If you regret it now, it's still not too late. I can give you another benefit to make up for what you've done. "
Yun Yang smiled and stood up. "Senior, let's go."
The Fox King smiled. "Good. Since that's the case, follow me."
Before his words echoed in the air, the Fox King waved his sleeves. Yun Yang felt his vision blur; he was no longer in the cave but was high up in the sky.
What greeted him was a blizzard of goose feathers. Looking around, it was a world of ice and snow; there was no other color between heaven and earth other than a vast expanse of silvery-white.
In this vast expanse of sky and earth, an immeasurable amount of demonic Qi soared into the sky, filling the firmament!
Amidst the whistling of the wind, Yun Yang felt himself being flung away by an immense force, his body tumbling in the air. The Fox King's voice rang in his ears at the same time, "Move freely from here. It's not convenient for me to leave the Bloody Soul's Mouth for too long."
The voice was still ringing in his ears, but the Fox King had already disappeared.
Yun Yang mustered a mouthful of mystical Qi and plummeted forty thousand feet down like a meteor. With a loud boom, he crashed into a pile of snow. When the snow shot up into the sky due to the impact, Yun Yang had already disappeared without a trace.
It was as if he had melted from the fall; there was no trace of him at all.
Somewhere far away …
The Fox King frowned.
He realized that Yun Yang's aura had truly vanished. Not only that, even the aura of the token he had given him had vanished as well.
"This young fellow is strange indeed. He has a lot of tricks up his sleeves."
The Fox King shook his head indifferently and sped back to the Bloody Soul's Mouth.
To him, today's incident was only a cause and effect, nothing more.
Now, the lake of his heart had regained its tranquility.
No matter what happened to Yun Yang in the future, it was no longer his concern.
What kind of storm could a mere token cause?
It did not matter anymore.
Besides, even if something did happen, who would dare implicate him?
