Before, on the ground, Deng Chanyu had sensed that this underground space was hiding an ancient dragon of considerable level.
The other party's concealment techniques are very high, and if it were not for the fixed enmity between the Dragon and Phoenix clans and the proximity, she would not have discovered it.
The causes and effects in the Primordial Chaos are intertwined in a very complex manner. Considering the requirements of the First Kylin, there is an 80% chance that she is certain the one who abducted the daughter of the First Kylin is the deluded dragon hiding here.
Although the person has managed to survive the initial battle between the Dragon and Phoenix until today, even if it's just by enduring time, they have managed to reach a considerable level. However, this person has been hiding here for countless eons, and even if we consider that their past strength was ten times greater, their current strength may only be able to manifest five times.
Deng Chanyu did not have much fear and entered the underground celestial city with a few people.
As they walked along, they saw many floating celestials in their robes, with mediocre cultivation, and most importantly, they had no sense of vigilance. Facing Deng Chanyu and the like, several passing celestials thought they were new comers and smiled at them kindly. Moreover, a couple even invited them to their home for a visit.
Nezha eats softness and not hardness. If these celestial beings take out swords and knives, he can happily kill from the east to the west of the city. However, at this moment, facing smiling faces, he feels somewhat uninterested: "There seems to be nothing interesting here?"
He wanted to engage in a great battle, but the result was? All there were here were a group of celestial beings with incredibly peaceful personalities and no trace of aggression.
He wouldn't be afraid of a thousand such enemies.
Deng Chanyu analyzed for them, "They should be survivors from some past calamities. Following the principle of 'not seeing the darkness under the lamp,' they have hidden in the central plains of the He Luo region. They have excavated and established an underground realm celestial city there, as a place to retreat from the world."
The immortals of the Huaxia have always been pursuing leisure. When Zhongliuquan, the master of Lu Dongbin, ascended to heaven, he wanted to take him along. However, Lu Dongbin said he would not go to heaven for the time being, "I must help all sentient beings and only then will it be too late for me to ascend."
Many celestial beings, after gaining the initial ability to live forever, just lie down and stop practicing.
They don't want to take office in heaven or endure suffering in the cycle of rebirth.
Originally, their attitude was very calm. Add to that the wave after wave of Primordial Calamities, and the Big Dipper Immortals were said to die at any time. This frightened many celestial beings, resulting in a large number of them hiding from the Celestial Tribunal and hiding from one another. The total number of celestials and the number of registered celestials are completely out of sync. These people will also consume heavenly and earthly vitality of the Primordial Chaos, yet they have no contribution to make. As time goes on, this has become a significant burden.
Deng Chanyu expressed understanding, as she would have also laid low if she had not been directly involved in the calamity upon her arrival.
There is no reward for reporting from the side of Heaven, and it's not worth being the bad guy.
"We are willing to offer some spiritual materials, but please do not reveal our whereabouts, and those who choose to hide here are all pitiful people who have been abandoned by this murky world." A voice that sounded very gentle rang out from a distance.
Deng Chanyu's spiritual awareness had failed to detect the other party. She turned back to look and saw a female goat standing silently under the tree.
The mother sheep had pure white fur, delicate horns, and eyes that were not filled with much hostility, but instead, they contained a sense of entreaty and expectation. This seemingly abnormal mother sheep kept her posture low, and she was connected to the earth's pulse, blending in seamlessly. She managed to evade Deng Chanyu's inspection as a Taoist Immortal of the first level.
"Ugh, it's so boring!" Nezha buried his head in his hands, looking disappointed. He originally thought he would face a formidable enemy, but to his surprise, this creature looked as soft as could be.
The Qiongqi's behavior was somewhat peculiar. He seemed to have the intention to charge forward and kill the mother goat, but his body was trembling uncontrollably. This tremble was so mysterious that even he felt bewildered.
Deng Chanyu spoke with a certain implication, "Pitiful? These secluded immortals are dedicated to freedom and only know how to demand from the heavens and the earth, never offering anything in return. What is pitiful about that? Does that mean they all possess the merit of opening heaven? As for you, if you're pitiful, then wouldn't your father who has been buried under a mountain cliff for countless eons be even more pitiful?"
Nezha blinked his eyes and carefully looked at the mother sheep, "Does this guy have deeper roots? I can't tell from the outside!"
He took a deep breath and really didn't smell anything unusual.
The gentleness in the mother sheep's eyes disappeared, replaced by anger and a battle intent after her identity was exposed.
"That's good, just like that, that's right!" Nezha was overjoyed. The mother sheep did not look at him, but instead stared fixedly at Deng Chanyu.
"We just want to find a place to hide away, is that wrong?"
Deng Chanyu waved her hand, "That has nothing to do with me. I am doing a favor. You can go back and talk to your father. I advise you to surrender. You can't win against me."
"Never!" The mother sheep roared with anger. Her form changed dramatically, from a seemingly docile goat to a Qilin covered in thick scales, standing ten feet tall, with swift hooves.
Generally speaking, a Qilin, such as the water and fire Qilin that Tongtian Master stored in his Wutong Zhuo, each one controls an element. In the Western world, including Buddhism, they don't talk about the five elements, but rather believe that the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind are the foundation of the world.
The Qilin race resides in the West and are the earliest spiritual beings that advocated for the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind in the Primordial Chaos.
The general Qilin can only control one element, and the extent to which they can control it depends on their own abilities.
At the moment, this Qilin not only has a stronger physique, but the scales naturally engrave a significant number of divine inscriptions. Her four hooves directly step on the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind. This undoubtedly proves her innate bloodline talent.
In the Primordial Chaos, Qilins are now considered auspicious animals, but it was not always so. The Qilin in front of them is incredibly fierce.
She roared loudly, and the wind element accelerated her own speed, while the earth element strengthened her defense, the fire element increased her offensive power. The water element even split itself in half from within her body, forming two water Qilins, adding to her original form, and charging towards Deng Chanyu from three directions.
As Deng Chanyu's attention was caught by the Qilin, the ground beneath everyone suddenly split open, and a colossal dragon with a length of over a hundred zhang emerged from the core of the earth. The dragon's scales were brown, and its horns resembled those of a sheep, with spiral shapes that spiraled upward. The horns were thicker than those of ordinary dragons, and its claws remained as sharp as ever.
The giant dragon roared excitedly, "Lady, step back! Let me catch this rascal!"
The Qilin scolded, "Don't waste time talking! Attack together!"
Nezha was so excited he almost jumped up, picking up the fire dragon spear and shouting, "Teacher, let me handle this! Let me handle this!"
Qiongqi roared loudly, the human side of him overwhelming his animalistic side, allowing him to temporarily break free from the Qilin's intimidation over the animal tribe.
The three Zha Qinglan also drew their long swords. They belong to the flying bird tribe, and their enmity with the Qilin is ingrained in their blood. When the Qilin showed its fangs, they would naturally respond accordingly.
