"It's very complicated. It can't be explained in a few words!"
An hour later, the Hateful Clan had captured the three white-robed Golden Core Mahayana cultivators. However, Fang Xing stopped Hateful Tianning from announcing his return to the Bottomless Sinkhole. He only asked Hateful Tianning what had happened. Hateful Tianning thought about it carefully and did not insist. Instead, he looked rather worried and quickly explained what had happened after he left.
"Ten years ago, you left without saying goodbye. We didn't know what happened. The Evil Lord finally made a decision. He sent people out to look for you while carrying out his grand plan. He announced the birth of the Taishang Orthodoxy and headed to the Northern Region of the Divine Continent to join forces with the Land of Demons, the Oceanic Clan, and a few other forces to fight for the fortune of the Divine Continent. Things went smoothly. The Evil Lord, Daoist Zi of the Fengtian Clan, and Senior Linglong of the Baiyue Clan all broke through the Golden Core Realm and formed a Yuanying Clan. They were very powerful, especially the Evil Lord, whose cultivation was unfathomable. It was enough for him to complete the great task of establishing the Divine Continent …"
"However, although the overall plan went smoothly, there was still an accident. Seven years ago, the bloodline of Taihao appeared and actually found the Evil Lord. They requested to join the Taishang Orthodoxy. The Evil Lord did not know much about this bloodline, so naturally, he would not agree to their request. However, who would have thought that this bloodline would produce a decree to prove their identity as a clan …"
At this point, Hateful Tianning could not help but lower his voice. He paused for a moment before saying, "Descendants of True Immortals …"
"What?"
Fang Xing could not help but scratch his ears. The little monk Shinsyu also scratched his head in confusion.
Descendants of True Immortals?
There were countless Ascended Immortals in the Tianyuan Continent, and there were many clans that had True Immortals as their ancestors, alright?
Even the Qingqiu Clan had True Immortals as their ancestors, so it was nothing special!
Hateful Tianning's answer made Fang Xing understand a little more. The Evil Lord could not have been so scared after hearing that someone had True Immortals as their ancestors and foolishly agreed to join the Taishang Orthodoxy, could he?
If that was the case, then he would have to consider changing a manager!
He did not expect Hen Tianning to laugh bitterly at his reaction and said, "If they were the descendants of ordinary Perfected Immortals, it would not be surprising. However, the Vast Expanse Tribe is not so simple. Their ancestor's Immortal was …"
Her gaze darkened as she stared fixedly at Fang Xing. "One of the Ten Grand Supreme Deities!"
After a moment of silence, Fang Xing jumped and patted his shoulder. "F * ck!"
The handsome little monk raised his head in confusion. "Who are the Ten Supreme Immortals?"
Fang Xing couldn't be bothered with the monk. He was truly shocked. At this moment, he realized why the Old Heretic couldn't stop this clan from entering the Taishang Daoism. Damn it, their ancestor was actually one of the Ten Exalted Immortals. This was truly a righteous bloodline. It could be said that they were born with the qualifications to enter the Taishang Daoism. Not to mention the Old Heretic, even he couldn't stop them …
However, he had never heard of any descendants of the Ten Exalted Immortals …
Damn it, didn't Immortals have to abstain from sex like monks?
Why did one of them give birth to a child?
What kind of Immortal are you? Why don't you become a breeding donkey instead?
Hen Tianning did not think as much as him and said with a bitter smile, "They took out a decree to prove their identity. They are indeed the descendants of the Seventh Exalted Immortal of the Ten Exalted Immortals, Tai Hao. Moreover, their attitude was sincere. They said that their ancestor had left a decree saying that the Tai Hao bloodline originated from the Taishang Daoism and that they would forever be disciples of the Taishang bloodline. Now that the Taishang Daoism has reappeared in the world, they are not overjoyed and only wish to acknowledge their ancestors and contribute to the revival of the Taishang Daoism. Even the Evil Lord couldn't refuse such an offer …"
At this point, she seemed to recall something and suddenly laughed bitterly. She looked at Fang Xing and said, "Heh heh, speaking of which, the Evil Lord's greatest restriction is his status. Even the few tribes in the Sinkhole are listed on the Taishang Register, but the Evil Lord didn't leave his name. In terms of legitimacy, not to mention the Tai Hao clan, even we are more legitimate than the Evil Lord …"
At this point, Hen Tianning's tone was not without complaint. Fang Xing could only pick his nose helplessly.
What she said was true. Leaving one's name on the Taishang Register was to restrict the various tribes in the Sinkhole. Since Old Heretic was trustworthy, he naturally did not need to do something like leaving his Life Lamp behind. It was not doubtful whether the Tai Hao clan was legitimate or not. The Taishang Register was not blank to begin with. The first few pages were filled with runes, and each rune represented a former disciple of the Taishang Daoism or even a clan's bloodline. He did not pay much attention to it at the time.
As for the Tai Hao clan, if their ancestor was really one of the Ten Immortals of the Taishang Daoism, they would be like the Dragon Seeking Clan and be considered a remnant disciple of the Taishang Daoism. In that case, Old Heretic was really an outsider compared to them. After all, he was just a supervisor …
Hen Tianning asked this question with the intention of inquiring, but when he saw Fang Xing's expression, he knew that it was true. He laughed bitterly and said again, "Because of this, the Evil Lord had no choice but to accept this matter. However, he had an agreement with the Tai Hao clan that he was only handling the Sinkhole's affairs on behalf of them. Even if their ancestor was one of the Ten Immortals of the Taishang Daoism, times have changed and the situation is no longer what it used to be. If the Tai Hao clan wanted to acknowledge their ancestor and become a true disciple of the Taishang Daoism, they would need the approval of the only successor of the Taishang Daoism. Their name must be imprinted on the Taishang Daoism's register.
"At that time, the Evil Lord was naturally waiting for you. Under such circumstances, only you had the right to deny them. Unfortunately, no one would have thought that in ten years, you would disappear without a trace and no one knew where you were. The Tai Hao clan also did their best when the Taishang Daoism was established and helped a lot. Even the Evil Lord couldn't say anything to them. Lv Fengxian stayed in the Sinkhole to cultivate and his relationship with the Baiyue clan and the Yueshou clan grew closer. As time passed, the Taishang Daoism had to have a Divine Son and you were nowhere to be seen. So, there were people who wanted to promote Lv Fengxian to be the Divine Son of the Taishang Daoism, but the Evil Lord forcefully suppressed it!"
"However, after that, more and more clansmen of the Tai Hao lineage entered the Sinkhole with the excuse of returning to their ancestry. They were willing to be part of the Sinkhole. This was a serious matter and the Evil Lord was in the Center Continent. Unless there was a war at the expense of the Sinkhole's destruction, there was no way he could refuse. At that time, other than the Fengtian Tribe who were indifferent and the Heaven Hatred Tribe who were against it, the Yueshou clan and the Baiyue clan had already supported them to enter the Sinkhole. Even if there was a real battle, we would most likely lose. Helpless, the Evil Lord could only accept it. At the same time, he secretly sent more people to find you. This was the only way!"
"Sigh, it was a pity that no one knew where you went in the past ten years. It was as if you had disappeared. The Evil Lord thought that with your personality, you would definitely cause trouble in three to five years at most. This would also give us a direction to find you. But who knew that you would be gone for ten years without a trace? And the Tai Hao lineage had sent many experts into the Sinkhole. They could be said to be the most powerful tribe in the Sinkhole. They also used the excuse of defending the Sinkhole to send people to various important places. However, they still kept a low profile and did not reveal their ambitions! "
"The biggest change was half a year ago. At that time, news of you suddenly appeared. It was a battle with the Huangfu family and the bloodline of the Huangfu family was wiped out, turning the Huangfu family's land into a demonic land. You also died in that demonic land. The Evil Lord was far away in the divine continent at that time. He immediately sent a message back to the Sinkhole and ordered people to verify it. However, a few people went, but they could not enter the demonic land. We don't know what happened, but not long after that, a strange donkey came looking for you. It was actually holding the name register that symbolized the orthodoxy of the Taishang Path in its mouth. However, after entering the Sinkhole, it was immediately captured by the Tai Hao lineage. When the Hentian clan and the Fengtian clan received the news, Lv Fengxian had already obtained the name register. He actually returned to the Sinkhole that very night, saying that he was going to send it to the divine continent's northern region to discuss with the Evil Lord how to deal with it!"
At this point, Hen Tianning sighed and said in a somewhat sorrowful tone, "In reality, we did not intend to stop him at that time. The arrival of that strange donkey brought news of your death. Coupled with the confirmation of the news we received, no one believed that you were still alive. After all, it is impossible for the Taishang Path to not have a Son of God. Our ancestor was the successor of the Taishang Path and he himself had obtained the approval of the incomplete decree in the ruins of the Taishang Path. Without a doubt, Lv Fengxian was the best candidate to replace you as the Master of the Sinkhole …"
At this point, she looked straight at Fang Xing and said seriously, "I'm not afraid of you blaming me. Now that you're alive, the Hentian Clan will naturally keep our promise and pledge our loyalty to you. However, if you really did not return, it would only be a matter of time before we pledge our loyalty to Lv Fengxian!"
At this point, Fang Xing had more or less understood the ins and outs of the matter. He did not comment on Hen Tianning's final confession. His face was as still as water and no expression could be seen on it. He only asked calmly, "Where is that donkey? Is it dead or alive? "
Hen Tianning said, "The Tai Hao Clan has spread the word that Lv Fengxian is the true successor of the Taishang Path. The divine donkey descended from the sky and delivered the Taishang Path's register and one of the three scriptures of the Taishang Path to Lv Fengxian. This means that the ancestors of the Taishang Path are protecting him. Lv Fengxian has now taken the register and left. However, the Tai Hao Clan has kept that strange donkey and it is said to be a divine beast. We rarely see it, but I believe that the Tai Hao Clan will not harm it in order to maintain this legend!"
"He has obtained the Taishang Spirit-transforming Scripture?"
Previously, after hearing that Old Heretic had not betrayed him, Fang Xing had been nonchalant as if he did not care about the Tai Hao Clan at all. However, after hearing this, his expression suddenly turned cold and he asked in a low voice.
