Fang Xing had unintentionally placed the red dragon into the Thunderous Pool of Creation, which coincided with the Taishang Orthodoxy's request.
In the distance, a ninety-nine feet tall black altar appeared at the end of the world. There was a small path that led to the top of the altar.
On both sides of the altar, there were ninety-nine feet tall black statues that overlooked the people on the path. There were a total of nine statues, four on the left and four on the right. The ninth statue was at the top of the altar, beside the stone platform. Although it was just a statue and had been there for countless years, the statue still exuded a terrifying aura. Its expressionless stone eyes stared coldly at Fang Xing, who was walking on the path.
"Why does this feel like I'm choosing a son-in-law?"
Fang Xing felt goosebumps as he was stared at by the statues. He could not help but look at them, wanting to see if he could climb up the altar.
However, this thought only lasted for a moment before it was dispelled. The Taishang orthodoxy was too strange and he no longer had anything to rely on. Moreover, he had already reached the end of the ninth stage. Therefore, it was better for him to be more obedient and follow their rules. In any case, this was the Taishang orthodoxy and there were many tests. He couldn't possibly kill the disciple that was chosen in the end, right?
Fortunately, nothing strange happened all the way to the top of the altar.
"Pass on my Scripture, inherit my fate, receive my Dharmic Sword …"
When Fang Xing stepped on the last step, a faint voice rang in Fang Xing's ears. On the stone platform in the middle of the altar, there was a painting, a scroll, and a book. As the voice rang out, the golden scroll in the middle of the stone platform slowly flew up. As if it was being held by an invisible hand, it floated in the air and slowly arrived in front of Fang Xing.
"Err … Then I won't hold back?"
Fang Xing felt a little strange, as if countless eyes were staring at him.
However, the treasure was right in front of him, he had no choice but to accept it. He was on tenterhooks as he slowly extended his hand towards the scroll.
Boom!
Just as Fang Xing's finger came into contact with the scripture, heaven and earth suddenly changed.
The land beneath his feet, which seemed to be independent of the Heavens and the Earth, suddenly began to crumble and crack. The earth quaked and the mountains shook.
It was as if time was flowing in reverse and the surrounding scenery faded away. This Danger Star Underworld suddenly became rich with life, filled with dense immortal energy. And above the altar, the nine statues seemed to come to life at this moment, turning into vivid and lifelike figures. Each of them had the demeanor of a transcendent being. Their sleeves fluttered in the wind as they looked at Fang Xing with praise. Their lips and teeth moved slightly, as if they were recounting some long past events …
It felt like an instant, but also like thousands of years. Fang Xing's mind rumbled and fell into a dead silence.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes. When he looked again, the altar was still the altar, and the statue was still the statue. It was like a dream.
It was as if many things had appeared in his mind in an instant.
It seemed to be a memory, yet it also seemed to be some comprehension. It carried an indescribable sadness and even a trace of despair.
Fang Xing was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he sat down cross-legged and adjusted his thoughts.
His body did not have the seed that the Taishang orthodoxy planted in him at the seventh level. Therefore, he did not have any sense of belonging to the Taishang orthodoxy. From his point of view, those complicated and sad memories were useless. He did not want his soul to be affected by these things. From these complicated memories, he had to pick out the things that were useful to him. That was the right thing to do …
"Taishang Dao Scripture … So it is the Taishang Dao Scripture …"
After a long time, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes. He lowered his head and seemed to see a scroll in his Dantian.
This scroll was the scroll that was placed on the stone platform. Now, it had fused with his body.
The scroll was named "Taishang Dao Scripture". It was the cornerstone of the Taishang orthodoxy.
To put it simply, this was what Lady Lotus wanted him to search for in the Ultimate Ruins. It was also his first great fortune.
The scripture was simple and simple. There were only a few hundred words, but they explained the Great Dao. However, it was not something that could be comprehended in a short period of time. Fang Xing only skimmed through the content once and temporarily put it aside. He then looked around. On the stone platform in the middle of the altar, the golden scripture had disappeared. However, there was still a painting and a jade book quietly placed there, waiting for him to reach out and pick them up.
He reached for them. Fang Xing flipped through them and muttered to himself, "Three great fortunes, so it was referring to these three great fortunes …"
After a long time, he jumped up and stuffed the painting and jade book into his storage bag. Then, he cupped his hands at the statues.
Two golden wings appeared on his back. Fang Xing flew far away in an instant.
"Could it be that all of this is part of that lass Lian's plan?"
The moment before he left, Fang Xing thought to himself. He felt a sense of dread out of nowhere.
Only when the golden wings on Fang Xing's back flapped and flew away did a wisp of black smoke slowly appear on the altar. This wisp of black smoke lingered in the air for a long time before it slowly turned into a middle-aged man in a black robe. He did not look old, but his eyes were filled with the traces of vicissitudes left behind by time. His figure was also illusory, hovering between reality and illusion as he gently sat on the altar.
"He is actually not the person we are looking for. He is too far from it. He is not the person inside or out!"
The man spoke softly and said with some disappointment.
Behind him, the statue standing at the top of the altar laughed and said, "But he is indeed here!"
The man in black smiled helplessly and said, "That is why I did not agree to leave those flaws on the Path to Heaven from the beginning!"
The statue behind him said, "Even if we find a disciple who can really pass the nine trials, do you think he can do that?"
The man in black was slightly stunned. After a while, he gently shook his head.
In the statue, a certain soul laughed and said, "If that is the case, why not let him go?"
His figure was like lightning as he flew in the direction of the Taishang ruins. The stone bridge had already been built. Fang Xing did not spend much effort to step on the stone bridge and return to the ground of the Taishang ruins. At this time, Daphne was still waiting for news on this shore. He knew that Fang Xing had encountered danger. Seeing that he had returned safely, he was naturally a little happy. They rushed out of the Taishang ruins together. On the way, he asked about the gains …
Fang Xing only chuckled and said, "Very good!"
After being stunned for a moment, Daphne also laughed. He knew that the little bastard did not disappoint him and succeeded.
Fang Xing only gave a simple explanation about the crimson dragon, and he omitted the entire process. He simply said that the crimson dragon had its own fortune, and it was already in a deep slumber within the Lightning Pool of Creation. When it woke up, it was very likely that a dragon that had become an Immortal would appear in the world. Evil Roc King was regretful to the point of almost somersaulting down from the sky. Why didn't I save him with my true body earlier?
That was the Thunder Pool of Creation. Not to mention letting him sleep in it, just smelling it would be beneficial …
After beating his chest and stamping his feet, he knew that it was useless to regret. He could only go out with Fang Xing for the time being.
At this time, outside the Taishang ruins, the leaders of several tribes were sitting alone, looking at the ruins coldly.
"Everyone, that red dragon suddenly rushed into the Ultimate as if it had gone crazy. Could it be that the little demon is in danger?"
Luo Musang, the leader of the Alliance of Small Clans, said with a frown.
"Only someone with the red dragon's crazy personality would dare to wander around in the Ultimate. I think even if the little demon is in danger, it might not be able to return successfully. It might even die in there. What we need to be careful of is the person who has possessed the Vermilion Bird. When the Vermilion Bird was alive, it was only a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. But after that guy possessed the Vermilion Bird, his aura actually made me feel a little apprehensive. I don't think he will be easy to deal with. I'm afraid that even I can't take him down by myself!"
Luo Musang, the leader of the Alliance of Small Clans, said in a deep voice, his eyes flickering.
Granny Yao said coldly, "There's nothing we can do. That person has just possessed the Vermilion Bird, and his soul is not stable yet. Yet, he has such incredible abilities. It's already impressive that he can unleash fifty percent of his power. The four of us, Fangzheng, Linglong, and Fellow Daoist Fish Dragon of the Imperial Beast Clan make up a total of seven Golden Core cultivators. Two of us will deal with the demon that has possessed the Vermilion Bird, and four of us will guard against the red dragon. I alone will be enough to deal with the little demon!"
"Sigh, just be careful!"
Luo Musang sighed softly and said, "Our mantis stalking the cicada is straightforward and straightforward. With how clever that little demon is, he must have already guessed our plan. Furthermore, the Heaven Abhorrer Clan and the one who has possessed the Vermilion Bird have clearly raised their guard against us. It's impossible for us to launch a sneak attack. I'm afraid we'll have to face him head-on later. I hope you're all mentally prepared!"
Granny Yao laughed coldly and said, "So what if we're on guard? Fellow Daoists, we should have worked together to take down that little demon a long time ago. It's just that we're all wary of the red dragon, which is why we've delayed things to this point. Now is our last chance. If you don't want to return empty-handed, then let's capture that little demon. No matter what he gets, we'll split it evenly among us! "
At this moment, the phenomenon of the nine moons rising into the sky had already disappeared along with the Heaven Abhorrer Clan's soul. The layers of restrictive spells in the Primordial Ruins had also reappeared. However, with Fang Xing's Yin Yang Fiend Mirror and Daphne's experience, they managed to reach the edge of the abyss without any danger. Just as they were about to pass through the formation and leave, Daphne seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He paused and said, "Little demon, are we going to leave just like that? Although you and the people of the Dragon Seeking Clan had the leaders of those clans running around in circles, it's mainly because they know too little about the Primordial Ruins. That's why you guys managed to seize the initiative step by step. But then again, how many of those who are able to cultivate to the Golden Core Mastery realm are simple? Those old fogeys must be waiting for you in the outside world right now, preparing to seize your fortune … "
When Fang Xing heard that, he didn't even raise his head as he said, "I know!"
Daphne choked and said, "If you know, then why aren't you making some preparations?"
Fang Xing said, "I've already obtained the three great fortunes, and I'm thinking about how to form my Gold Core. Why would I have the time to fight with them? Besides, don't we have you? You're also an old monster who's been in this world for almost a thousand years. I've also found such a good body for you. If you can't even defeat those old fogeys, how can you still call yourself Daphne? "
Daphne was a little speechless. After a while, he said, "At least let me know what trump card we have to deal with them, right?"
Fang Xing said with a smile, "That's simple!"
As he spoke, he told Great Roc Evil King about the fortune he had obtained at the end of the altar on the Ancient Road to Heaven. Great Roc Evil King was taken aback by his words, and then he suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Good, good, good! Since you have such a trump card, leave it to this old man! Now that I have such a lifeline in my hands, if I can't take this opportunity to unify these clans, then I will have lived all these years in vain!"
