According to Ming Yuanqing, the Golden Silkworm Gu cannot be raised by human hands, but is born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and every Gu worm has the potential to evolve into a Golden Silkworm Gu.
No wonder Chu Yang, the magician, said that replicating the Golden Silkworm Gu was very difficult...
It seems we have no choice but to find another way, to think of other methods, and to use some technology and ruthless techniques.
After achieving his goal, Chu Yang still left Ming Yuanqing with many Blood Bodhi seeds, using the same excuse he had given when he traded the Demon-Eating Gu with Zhao Ling'er.
Fearing that it would delay Chu Yang's cultivation, Ming Yuanqing had no choice but to turn this act of repaying the debt of gratitude into a transaction, but she left behind a promise.
No matter what it is, as long as Chu Yang needs the Bai Miao people, they will do their best to help him.
Ming Yuanqing personally escorted Chu Yang outside. Before leaving, she seemed to remember something and said softly, "If Daoist Chu urgently needs the Golden Silkworm Gu, he can go to the Ten Thousand Mountains south of Nanzhao Kingdom. There are many naturally grown Gu insects there."
"But remember to only move along the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains and not go too deep. There are the Black Witch Clan and the Sixty-Three Barbarian Clan there. They are fierce, warlike and very dangerous."
"But the most dangerous thing is..."
"Be careful!"
Before Ming Yuanqing could finish speaking, Zixuan rudely interrupted him, showing a tough attitude in front of Ming Yuanqing for the first time.
This was the first time Chu Yang had ever heard of the Hundred Thousand Mountains south of the Southern Frontier. This was clearly not a setting from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series; it must be a mix of other timelines.
What story involves the Ten Thousand Mountains?
Black Witch Clan?
Chu Yang suddenly remembered the Black Miao tribe, which was in conflict with the White Miao tribe.
For the first time, Ming Yuanqing showed a hint of apology on his face and nodded to Zixuan, saying, "This is the greatest taboo of the Bai Miao people, and it shouldn't have come out of my mouth."
Zixuan sighed, "If Daoist Chu wants to know, let's find a secluded place. This matter is not honorable for the Nuwa clan."
The two then left the Bai Miao settlement and did not return to the Nuwa Temple. Instead, they sat down in a dilapidated pavilion thirty miles away from the Nuwa Temple.
"Master Chu should also know that every generation of Nuwa's descendants has a Holy Maiden by their side. The position of Holy Maiden has been passed down for as many years as the Nuwa clan has been passed down."
"The significance of the Holy Maiden was to help the descendants of Nuwa grow up quickly, but thousands of years ago, there was a Holy Maiden whose talent and abilities were unparalleled in the world, and even the descendants of Nuwa in this era were far inferior to her."
"Gradually, that person became dissatisfied with the position of the Holy Maiden. She sought immortality, comprehended the Great Dao, and wanted to forge her own path. This is understandable; everyone has the right to choose."
"But her actions directly caused a split between the Bai Miao and Hei Miao ethnic groups. She led a group of Hei Miao people to the Ten Thousand Mountains and called herself the Black Witch Clan."
"She also stole a large number of treasures from the clan, causing the Nuwa clan to decline for a long time. Fortunately, she did not take the three most fundamental items: the Heavenly Serpent Staff, the Holy Spirit Cloak, and the Holy Spirit Pearl."
"She shouldn't have used evil magic in her pursuit of immortality, creating a monster that was based on the malevolent energy of heaven and earth. As long as it kept absorbing the malevolent energy of its natural enemies, it could grow stronger, just like the Evil Sword Immortal of today."
"The only difference is that malevolence is easier to generate than evil thoughts, especially in battle."
"It could even be said that as long as someone wants to kill that monster, he can obtain a continuous source of nourishment from it."
"Unlike the Shushan Sect Leader, who quickly realized his mistake and sealed the Evil Sword Immortal, that woman instead aided and abetted the evil, helping that monster to grow stronger."
"Until one day, she realized that the monster had become so powerful that she could no longer control it, and she felt despair."
"She returned to Miao territory, hoping to use the power of Nuwa's descendants to destroy that monster."
"For the sake of all living beings, the descendant of Nuwa agreed, and the two went to the Hundred Thousand Mountains together. However, at the critical moment of the mission, the woman actually developed feelings for the monster she had created and showed mercy."
"The operation failed, and the descendants of Nuwa perished as a result. The treasure was returned here by the Black Witch Clan. The woman was filled with remorse and could only seek another way to seal the monster."
"In the end, she used her own flesh and blood as a bondage to seal the monster in the Demon-Suppressing Stone Cave deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"That woman's name is Linglong, and the monster she created is called the Beast God by the people of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
It wasn't until the very end that Chu Yang finally understood what the story was.
Zhu Xian!
The ancient books in the Shushan Scripture Pavilion mentioned the Qingyun Sect, but Chu Yang had never seen the Qingyun Sect in person in the heart of the Central Plains, and he couldn't even find out any information about it.
There are no similar sects in the entire Central Plains, including Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple.
Over time, Chu Yang thought it was a misunderstanding, but he never expected to hear the story of Linglong and the Beast God from Zi Xuan today.
Linglong is actually a holy maiden from thousands of years ago!
Chapter 152. Leave Chapter 152 aside, I'll handle it!
152.
Chu Yang witnessed the power of a hodgepodge once again!
I never dreamed that the two worlds would be connected in this way.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and asked, "Senior Zixuan, I want to know if there are any people on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Zixuan asked in surprise, "How do you know that there are living beings on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains? That continent is called Shenzhou."
really!
Chu Yang continued, "There should be sects similar to the Shu Mountain Sect over there..."
Zi Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, there are also cultivation sects over there. The largest of them has quite a connection with your Shu Mountain Sect."
Chu Yang wanted to press further, but Zi Xuan spoke first: "That's all I know. If you're interested, you can go back and ask Sect Leader Qingwei. He should be able to give you the answer."
"This past event involves the face of the Nuwa clan. No matter how wrong Linglong is, she is still the Holy Maiden. Her fate is intertwined with that of the Nuwa clan. I hope you know this and don't spread it around."
Chu Yang nodded.
Zi Xuan said solemnly, "With your skills, you can move freely in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Those so-called barbarians can't pose a threat to you at all. The only place you need to be careful of is the Demon Suppression Cave. Never go there!"
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured, I always do things with caution and never take risks."
Zixuan continued to instruct, "Make sure you memorize everything Mingyuanqing gave you before going to the Ten Thousand Mountains. The barbarians are not scary, but the poisonous creatures in the deep mountains are not to be trifled with. If you are not careful, not only you, but even Qingwei could be in trouble."
Chu Yang noticed something amiss from Zi Xuan's expression and asked, "Senior, are you planning to leave?"
Zixuan nodded dejectedly. "You've seen Ming Yuanqing's attitude towards me, so there's no point in me staying here any longer. I need to do something to atone for my sins."
Chu Yang cupped his hands in congratulations and said, "Congratulations on finally achieving enlightenment, senior. May I ask where you wish to go?"
Zi Xuan was silent for a moment, then said gently, "Just as you said before, I'm going to Yuzhou City to see Ling'er. I hope I can make up for the lack of affection I couldn't give Qing'er by doing it for her."
"That's good. I hope you have a safe journey and that your wishes come true."
Chu Yang expressed his heartfelt wishes to Zi Xuan, still believing that Zi Xuan had done nothing wrong in pursuing love, and that even if the Witch Queen Qing'er sacrificed herself, the blame should be directed at Bai Yue and the Water Demon Beast.
That's the real culprit.
Zi Xuan did not step into the Nuwa Temple again, but left without looking back. Although the Holy Spirit Pearl was severely damaged, she still had enough magic power to return to the Central Plains.
Chu Yang had already investigated before he arrived and found that Bai Yue was not in Nanzhao Kingdom at the time, so there was no need to worry about Zi Xuan's safety.
After watching Zi Xuan leave, Chu Yang entered the Nuwa Temple. Nuwa, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke.
"Young friend, thank you for your help to the Nuwa Clan. Both Zixuan and Zhao Ling'er have benefited greatly from you."
Chu Yang bowed and said, "Your Majesty is too kind. It is all my duty. The purpose of Shu Mountain is no different from that of the descendants of Nuwa. We are all here to protect this land."
"Besides, Your Majesty devoted yourself to protecting the human race and even died for it. Now it is time for your junior to repay you."
After saying this, Chu Yang felt a gentle gaze fall on him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the work."
Chu Yang nodded in agreement, sat cross-legged inside the Nuwa Temple, and began to deduce the cultivation technique, silently waiting for Li Xiaoyao to return.
A week has passed.
Suddenly, a bright light shone from inside the Nuwa Temple, and Li Xiaoyao's figure appeared from the light. He looked dazed, but gradually came to his senses when Chu Yang called out to him.
"How does it feel?"
"Like a dream..."
"I know you think you're dreaming, but the Water Spirit Orb in your hand is real!"
Li Xiaoyao was immediately startled!
Then, unable to resist, he took out the Water Spirit Orb and examined it closely. "I never imagined that the Water Spirit Orb was actually given to me by myself ten years ago. I even exchanged it for a wooden sword."
"I knew I had no memory of it from my childhood, so how did I end up with a wooden sword by my side?"
Chu Yang patted his shoulder and asked, "Goddess Nuwa told you not to try to change the future, but I think given your personality, you would never obediently follow her advice."
Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and said, "I did do something, but Brother Chu is still here, which means it was probably useless."
"You're quite self-aware. You think Nuwa doesn't know your thoughts? Everything was already predetermined!"
Li Xiaoyao sighed and said no more. In any case, he hoped that Zhao Ling'er would be happier.
"Let's go, take your Water Spirit Orb, let's go back to Mount Shu. Hopefully, things will go smoothly for Jing Tian and the others as well."
Chu Yang rode his sword straight into the sky, with Li Xiaoyao close behind. The two of them rushed back to Mount Shu at an extremely fast speed.
In this time travel, Li Xiaoyao has clearly become stronger than before, and it's unknown how much difficulty he encountered ten years ago.
Half a day later, the two were able to see the entire city of Yuzhou. Chu Yang didn't want to delay, so he took Li Xiaoyao directly to the location of the Demon Locking Tower.
Xu Changqing and Jing Tian were even faster than them, and were already waiting beside the elders.
The Sword Saint at the top of the tower saw the Water Spirit Orb in Li Xiaoyao's hand and was excited. In addition, Xu Changqing had collected four spirit orbs before, so he now had all five spirit orbs.
