In the southwest of the Nan Zhan State, in the depths of the Western Desert, there was a forbidden area.
This place was isolated by layers of great formations, making it impossible for cultivators from the outside to explore it. They also did not know how big it was. The internal structure seemed to be tens of thousands of miles wide from the outside, but there were rumors that within the forbidden area, there was a power of law that changed the space. In fact, the space inside was more than ten times that of what it looked like from the outside. There was abundant Spiritual Qi everywhere, so dense that it turned into rain, nourishing every inch of the land. Spiritual medicine and immortal nurseries were everywhere. It could be said that every inch of the land was a paradise that cultivators dreamed of, a paradise for cultivators.
And for thousands of years, this place only belonged to one family. Outsiders never dared to have the slightest intention to pry into it. Even though this area attracted more than half of the spirit veins in the Nan Zhan State, continuously supplying this place with Spiritual Qi, it was equivalent to robbing more than half of all the Spiritual Qi that belonged to the Nan Zhan cultivators. Even then, the Nan Zhan cultivators did not dare to say anything, they did not even dare to get angry, they just let it be.
All of this was because this place had a surname: Huangfu!
It was originally a great family in the Divine Prefecture. Later, it moved to the Nan Zhan, and played a supreme role in the demon-hunting battle of Nan Zhan three thousand years ago. It was a unique behemoth in the Nan Zhan, and it called itself the Hidden Emperor. It was a super ancient cultivation family that controlled the fate of Nan Zhan.
However, this supreme glory had slightly dimmed in the past ten years. Since the chaos in the Northern Region ten years ago, the prestige of the Huangfu family had been repeatedly attacked. First, the Great Snow Mountain successfully established itself in the Divine Prefecture, becoming the first orthodoxy established by a cultivator of Nan Zhan. It was known as the place where the fate of Nan Zhan was. However, Huangfu Zizhu, who was sent to the Divine Prefecture to discuss the establishment of the Dao, not only did he fail to do so, but he also angered Zhu Xiu of the Northern Region, causing the relationship between Zhu Xiu and the Huangfu family to break.
Later, Huangfu Zizhu was summoned back and imprisoned in the family as punishment. The five Yuanying Ancestors of the Huangfu family, who usually lived in seclusion by the Black Water Lake, also sensed that there was a change in the world. They woke up within a year, becoming the first generation in two thousand years where the five Ancestors appeared at the same time. After that, the five Ancestors issued decrees. For the past three thousand years, any Golden Core experts of the Huangfu family who were in seclusion or were sent to other regions to deal with family affairs were summoned back. Then, they issued decrees and recruited a group of Golden Core experts. For a time, the strength of the Huangfu family skyrocketed. There were many experts, and this was the tip of the iceberg.
Now, Huangfu Shentong, the Ancestor with the highest seniority among the five Ancestors, had brought three Ancestors, as well as many young talents of the Huangfu family and the eight groups of dragons to the Divine Prefecture to discuss the establishment of the Dao. They had not returned yet, and the progress was unknown.
In the ancestral land of the Huangfu family, there were still a considerable number of Golden Core cultivators, which made people feel even more depressed.
"Ancestor, there's news from the Divine Prefecture …"
In the center of the ancestral land of the Huangfu family, inside a black palace, on a vermilion corridor, a little child who had just been on duty at the altar of the family was holding the corner of his robe and stumbling toward the Hall of Dao in the middle of the main hall. The little child had white teeth and red lips, and his skin was like carved jade. His voice was shrill, and he was selected from ten thousand children. He was cleansed and his Dao Source was changed, so that he would forever maintain the appearance of a ten-year-old. He was called an immortal slave, and after serving the Huangfu family for a hundred years, he was allowed to be dismembered and reincarnated.
"What do you mean?"
In the Hall of Dao, an old man with wrinkled cheeks and a withered face opened his eyes and looked at the little child.
In this Hall of Dao, there were a total of ten old men sitting cross-legged. They were all existences who ruled over a region, but now they were on duty in the Hall of Dao.
Ever since the chaos in the Northern Region of the Divine Prefecture ten years ago, the Huangfu family had not relaxed for even a moment, and there were many experts here at all times.
"Fourth Ancestor said … Great Ancestor personally issued a decree, ordering us to retrieve forty Blackwater Lake Essence from the bottom of the Blackwater Lake, as well as thirty secret manuals, six artifacts, and dried spirit essences. We are to send them to the Divine Land as soon as possible, without delay …"
The little child panted and reported a list of names.
"Forty Black Lake Essence …"
Hearing this, Zhu Xiu, who was in the Hall of Dao, was stunned and did not look good.
"The Black Lake Essence is the treasure of the Huangfu family. It came from the Black Lake, and only a hundred have been condensed in the past three thousand years. It has the ability to resist the Lightning Tribulation. Usually, the five Ancestors have used thirteen of them for cultivation. Ten years ago, the four Ancestors went to the Divine Prefecture and took another ten with them. There are only seventy-seven left in the family. This time, we are going to take forty. Is it …"
Hearing the words of the little child, an old Golden Core cultivator who was in charge of managing the Huangfu family's resources smiled bitterly. His tone was somewhat pained as he hesitantly said to the skinny Ancestor.
"Give it to them!"
The skinny old man was silent for a while before he said in a hoarse voice, "The Black Lake Essence can be regenerated. However, if we lose this opportunity to establish our Dao, or if we can't obtain the fortune we deserve, no one can say for sure if the Huangfu family can survive a hundred years later … Sigh, we can only blame that little devil for being too ruthless. He took the cauldron with one move and caused chaos in the Divine Prefecture. He even caused the Three Northern Dao to lose control of the Northern Region of the Divine Prefecture. The Taishang Dao remnant disciples, the Sea Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Sea Rogue Immortals invaded at the same time and seized control of the Northern Region of the Divine Prefecture. The Great Snow Mountain also established its Dao with the help of those tribes, but the Huangfu family has no place to stand …"
After listening to these words, the elders of the Huangfu Clan who held real power were filled with hatred and anger.
"At the end of the day, it's all because of that little devil. It's a pity that he has disappeared these few years and no one knows where he is hiding …"
Someone gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, we would have captured him and suppressed him at the bottom of the Black Lake!"
"Haha …"
The skinny old man shook his head and did not want to say anything more. In these ten years, he had acted ruthlessly too many times. Even with his status, he felt embarrassed. The Huangfu family and the Three Northern Dao had really put in a lot of effort to find that little devil. They even invited a true disciple of the Tianji Palace from the Central Region of the Divine Continent to deduce the location of that little devil. In the end, they still failed. There were already rumors that said that the little devil was good at hiding the secrets of heaven. Unless the Tianji Elder of the Tianji Palace personally made a divination, or the Lingshan Temple took out the Buddha's Meditation Scripture, no one could dig that little devil out from among the masses. And these two were not people that the Huangfu family could invite.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll go get the Black Lake Essence and arrange for people to set off in a month's time. We'll rush to the Divine Continent!"
The skinny old man sighed and made a decision. He was full of helplessness.
"In these ten years, the Huangfu family's thousands of years of foundation has been emptied by more than half. They are constantly sending out treasures, but this matter of establishing the Dao is still not satisfactory. I really don't know when such days will come to an end …"
Since the Old Ancestor had already spoken, the others could not do anything. They could only sigh and make arrangements.
"Old Ancestor, great news …"
Amidst the dejection, a voice suddenly came from far away. An old cultivator came back as fast as lightning.
"Mu Ling is back …"
Within the Hall of Dao, a few Golden Dan elders revealed looks of surprise as they looked outside.
All the elders of the Huangfu family with some ability had their own tasks. Some allocated resources, some suppressed riots. But this Elder Huangfu Mu Ling had ordinary ability. He was assigned to contact the various sects of the Nan Zhan to obtain the recognition of the various sects. Simply put, he wanted to compete with the Great Snow Mountain for the title of the legitimate Nan Zhan. Unfortunately, the Huangfu family had always been the hidden emperor of the Nan Zhan. It was not so easy for them to put down their arrogance. That Huangfu Mu Ling had been working for ten years without any results, and now his heart was cold.
At this time, the Huangfu family's situation was getting worse by the day. Why did he have good news?
While Zhu Xiu was surprised, he went out to greet him. He saw Huangfu Mu Ling descending from the sky with two metal chains. On the chains was a white-haired girl in white. He dragged her in as if she was a dead dog. Huangfu Mu Ling was a little proud and laughed heartily. "How lucky. I heard that a White Devil appeared in the northwest of the Chu region and refined a Life Spirit Pill, causing a thousand miles of scarlet land. Everyone was in a state of panic, so I wanted to kill this devil and bring glory to the Huangfu family. I didn't expect to reap such a great harvest. Old Ancestor, brothers and uncles, guess who she is?"
Zhu Xiu looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. Huangfu Mu Ling laughed loudly. "This girl is the direct disciple of the Great Snow Mountain's Sword Washing Courtyard. She was ranked first among the younger generation on the Ling Yun List, Sword Celestial Xiao Xue …"
"Xiao Xue?"
In the Hall of Dao, the powerful figures of the Huangfu family were slightly startled. They immediately understood the importance of this girl and stood up.
"A disciple of the Great Snow Mountain actually went to cultivate the Demonic Dao?"
"How dare the Great Snow Mountain claim to be the orthodox Nan Zhan and specialize in cultivating the disciples of demons?"
"It's fine if there's a little demon who doesn't shrink from any evil, but now there's a man-eating demon?"
"Haha, the identity of the White Devil has been revealed. The Ling Yun List is simply a joke …"
After a moment of shock, all the elders burst into laughter at the same time. The boulder that had been pressing down on their hearts also loosened a little.
Even the skinny Yuanying Ancestor revealed a trace of a cold smile. "This is a heaven-sent opportunity. Mu Ling, this girl's demonic aura isn't enough. Go suppress her at the bottom of the Black Water Lake and use the resentment of ten thousand spirits to help her become a demon. When we go to the Divine Prefecture in a month, bring her along. Haha, with this girl as a hostage, let's see if the Great Snow Mountain still dares to claim to be the orthodox Nan Zhan!"
Huangfu Mu Ling was immensely proud and immediately brought Xiao Xue to the back of the mountain. Hall of Dao's Zhu Xiu was also in a good mood.
However, it seemed that the Huangfu Clan, who had been down on their luck for close to ten years, was quite lucky today. Before the news had even passed, the little Xian Nu 'er ran in joyfully and excitedly stuttered, "Ancestor, great … great news … just now … a spy from our Huangfu Clan came back with news … that … that little demon Fang Xing, who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces, has appeared …"
The Hall of Dao was silent for a few breaths of time before it exploded with a loud bang.
"That little demon … where is he now?"
Even the skinny Huangfu Clan's Yuanying Ancestor couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
Xian Nu 'er rushed into the Hall of Dao and pressed her hands on her knees. She panted heavily. "It's … it's our Huangfu Clan that comes …"
"Eh … he came to the Huangfu Clan?"
This answer caused Huangfu Clan's Zhu Xiu to be slightly stunned. "Why does he dare to come to our Huangfu Clan? Is he courting death?"
Xian Nu 'er panted a few times and said, "He … he said he's here to annihilate our Huangfu Clan!"
"Annihilate our Huangfu Clan?"
This sentence simply made the Huangfu Clan's cultivators feel as if they had heard a heavenly book. How many years has it been since someone said such words to the Huangfu Clan? Or rather, how many years has it been since someone has gone crazy like this? Even the guy who forced the Huangfu Clan to the Southern Region back in the Divine Continent and the various clans in the Northern Demon Land who hated the Huangfu Clan to the bone didn't let go of such bold words …
However, the following words made the Huangfu Clan even more dumbfounded. After Xian Nu 'er caught her breath, she hurriedly said, "The cultivators who are loyal to our Huangfu Clan found him in the Ghost Smoke Valley in the northwest of the Chu Region. At that time, he was with Elder Mu Ling who captured White Demon. No one expected it to be him. According to the scouts, this guy's appearance has changed greatly and his cultivation is completely gone. If he didn't admit his identity, no one would have thought that he was the legendary demon. Now that he admitted his identity, he is already riding a green donkey towards the Huangfu Clan …"
"Mu Ling, what exactly is going on?"
The surrounding people's gazes instantly turned towards Elder Mu Ling.
"Eh … I don't know …"
This scene also stunned Elder Mu Ling. He was only concerned about capturing White Demon, who knew that the more important little demon was right under his nose?
Damn it, the merit that he had just made in front of the elder was instantly washed away.
"Just now you said … that little demon has no cultivation at all?"
The skinny elder didn't care about these minor details and asked in a deep voice.
Xian Nu 'er said, "The messenger said that there was no fluctuation of Dharma power in that demon, and he was almost killed by the aftermath of Elder Mu Ling's spell when he captured and killed White Demon. He was very lucky to survive, but I don't know if it's a disguise!"
The skinny elder rolled his eyes a few times and sneered, "It might not be a disguise. That little dog fought with the Pure Yang Demonic Son Song Guichan on the Worship Zen Mountain. Although he won by luck, Song Guichan is known as the number one among the younger generation in the Northern Region, how could he be easy to deal with? He probably also paid a great price. After that, he stole the cauldron and didn't show up for ten years. If it wasn't for the huge change, how could he bear it? Hehe, if that's the case, it makes sense. He most likely destroyed his cultivation, and that's why he hid his identity! "
At this point, his face turned serious and he said coldly, "This kid's appearance is really a gift from the heavens. No matter whether he said that he was going to provoke our Huangfu Family or not, we must capture him … No, what if he doesn't come? All elders, immediately give up all the tasks at hand and split into three teams. One team will guard the ancestral land, one team will go out and wait for that little demon outside the ancestral land, and the third team will set off immediately. We must find that little demon and capture him, in case he escapes! "
"Yes!"
All the cultivators of the Huangfu Family responded loudly with a shocking momentum.
There was an indescribable excitement in their hearts. Finally, it was time to deal with this little demon head-on …
Starting from when the Huangfu Family robbed the Sword Catacomb in the Mysterious Domain, then the Blue Cloud Sect tortured and killed Iron Like Madness, and then outside the Mysterious Domain, the little demon suddenly attacked and killed the Huangfu Family's Daoist with a single sword strike. Then, he went to the Pilgrimage Mountain and caused a huge mess. The hatred between the Huangfu Family and this little demon was too deep. It was not something that could be explained clearly with just a few words. This hatred was unresolvable.
For the past ten years, the Huangfu Family had never given up on looking for this little demon!
Now that he had voluntarily appeared, it was undoubtedly a blessing from the heavens for the Huangfu Family!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The formation was activated, and all the Golden Core cultivators were like fish swimming in the water, flying on clouds.
The colossal Huangfu Family was now fully mobilized because of a person's name.
While the Huangfu Family's Zhu Xiu was extremely excited because of Fang Xing, Fang Xing was leisurely riding a donkey.
"There are people watching us. This is not a good sign to exterminate a family …"
Fang Xing did not turn around and spoke to the donkey as if nothing had happened.
The donkey shook its big head and ignored him.
Wasn't this nonsense? Riding an ordinary green donkey, not to mention walking slowly, even if it ran at full speed, how fast could it be? The people following him were all Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm and above. They soared through the clouds, moving as fast as lightning. Furthermore, because they had heard of Fang Xing's name, they were shocked. None of them were willing to simply leave, and so they followed behind him. After walking for a while, more and more people began to follow him.
However, because of the deterrence of Fang Xing's name, no one dared to really chase after them. They just followed closely.
"You really are a lucky guy …"
Fang Xing looked at the donkey's big head and laughed softly. "How long have you been carrying me since we came to Bohai Country? Almost seven years, right? Hehe, although I don't have any cultivation, the realm I once cultivated is not for show. You have been by my side for seven years. Even if you are just an ordinary green donkey, I'm afraid that you will gradually gain intelligence. Moreover, you are a divine mount with the demonic beast bloodline that Senior Brother Zhu specially picked out from the Bohai Country for me. … Of course, other than being a coward, I don't find anything special about you … "
"Snore, snore!"
The donkey snorted and completely ignored what Fang Xing was saying.
The more Fang Xing spoke, the happier he became. With a face full of smiles, he said, "I've been tossing and turning in the cultivation world for so long, but I haven't formally accepted a disciple yet. Now that I don't have much longer to live, I'll let you have it easy, you beast. I'll give you a chance. If you can perform to my satisfaction, then from today onwards, you'll be Fang Xing's eldest disciple.
The donkey's ears perked up.
Fang Xing took out a bloody elixir from the ivory tower and put it under the donkey's mouth.
"Eat it!"
The donkey hesitated for a moment. As if by nature, it turned its lips and bit into its mouth.
But Fang Xing was not finished. He took out another elixir and put it under the donkey's mouth again. The donkey ate it again.
After the elixir, there was another elixir fruit.
Although he had no cultivation, no one knew how many good things there were in Fang Xing's ivory tower.
Now, Fang Xing took out spirit medicines and elixirs that were enough to make a Golden Core Realm cultivator go green with envy, and he fed all of them into the donkey's mouth without holding back. It was simply more wasteful than feeding a pig. Fortunately, the cultivators behind him followed from afar and didn't dare to come close. Otherwise, if they saw what he did, they would definitely be enraged to the point of going mad, and they might even be unable to restrain themselves from making a move to rob him.
Even a great cultivator of the Golden Core Realm would have to slowly cultivate and refine such elixirs, let alone an ordinary donkey.
Moreover, Fang Xing fed it continuously. He fed it more than ten kinds of elixirs at once.
Gradually, the donkey's fur began to heat up. There seemed to be a blood-like aura seeping out from under its brown fur. Its nostrils also began to emit hot air. The aura was actually spiritual energy visible to the naked eye. It was bright red as if two flames were spewing out. Under such circumstances, the donkey's body was also trembling. Its four hooves swung and it walked faster and faster …
"Remember this mnemonic chant …"
Fang Xing was also somewhat solemn. He said coldly, "The Supreme Spiritualization Scripture … Swallow the heavens and devour the earth … Refine essence into qi …"
The donkey seemed to be resisting the incomparable pain, but its large ears perked up. It listened to every word of Fang Xing's. The strong spiritual energy in its body almost made it explode. It was experiencing the greatest calamity in its hundred lives, but it also encountered the greatest opportunity in its hundred lives. Gradually, its body trembled, and its blood, flesh, and meridians were experiencing earth-shattering changes.
"Every living creature has its own Innate Divine Ability. Beasts are even more obvious …"
After Fang Xing finished imparting the Supreme Spiritualization Scripture, his voice sounded again. "If even what I've done is not enough to activate your special ability, then it means that you are destined to have no fate with immortality. Go back to Bohai Country and be a donkey that lives for a hundred years!"
"Phew …"
The donkey spat out two red flames and shook its head in dissatisfaction.
The changes on its body seemed to have been locked in its body. It no longer showed itself, but its body trembled more violently.
"Di da da …"
It ran faster and faster, as if it was venting the excess spiritual energy in its body that was about to explode.
There seemed to be no limit to this speed increase.
From a jog at the beginning, it became a wild gallop. Its speed continued to increase, and the things on both sides retreated like lightning. In the end, the donkey suddenly cried out to the sky. It lowered its head, and its front hooves stepped up, and it charged up into the sky. Then, it stepped on the wind and clouds, and just like that, it ran up into the sky. It moved faster and faster, and gradually disappeared.
"What's going on? Is that donkey some kind of divine beast? Why is it flying away? "
"Oh no, we can't catch up. Hurry, hurry, hurry, go straight to the Huangfu family …"
This strange scene frightened the cultivators that were following behind. All of them turned pale with fright and rushed with all their might on the clouds.
