Deng Chan Yu flipped through the book of the Blood Deity's divine skill, and sighed faintly.
Just like many of the inheritances from the third generation of the Celestial River are in a fragmented state, and many cultivation methods have missing elements, the Blood Deity's divine skill provided by Minghe is also heavily lacking, with key information only consisting of fragments, resembling but not quite accurate.
Following the practice, absolutely a problem will come up.
With the fall of the first generation of the Celestial River, it is impossible to completely collect this skill. The true Blood Deity's divine skill has been lost to history.
On the side of the third generation of the Celestial River, it is necessary to work together, modify and adjust based on the existing foundation. Deng Chan Yu, however, does not need to do that. She has no intention to learn this top-level divine skill from scratch, as it requires time not measured in days or months, but in years. Fortunately, she does not plan to learn this skill; she only refers to its ideas and looks for places worth learning from.
How to cut her third body, how to do it, that is completely baffling; this is truly a major bottleneck. Whether the Blood Deity's divine skill has any value to be learned from still needs careful consideration.
She enters a state that can be called divine travel to the void. She merges herself with the Dao and continues her cultivation while exploring the mysteries of the Blood Deity's divine skill.
At the bend of Kunlun Mountain, Bai He, with one hand brushing dust and the other holding a sword, shouted to the surrounding area: "Come out quickly! Don't let me say it twice. This is Kunlun Mountain. It doesn't tolerate rogues who act up here!"
He still has confidence. This place is already within the jurisdiction of the Yu Xū Palace. If there are any enemies, he can annihilate them with a mere thought through the great formation. If that fails, he can also call for the Yu Qing Dao Ren, who he regards as a formidable fighter.
But the results were something he never expected.
The grim-faced lantern emerged from the shadows: "Bai He, my junior, it's been years since I last saw you. It seems your temper has flared up quite a bit since then. Is there something wrong with your cultivation practice?"
"Teacher? How are you here in Kunlun Mountain? It was you who led me out earlier?" Bai He still referred to him as "Teacher" before the Chuanxiao, as he was higher in rank than him. All the second-generation disciples of the Chuanxiao, including Guangchengzi, addressed him as "Teacher" out of respect and distance. The Chuanxiao had never treated him as one of their own.
Bai He's words startled him as he began to regret. He knew about the things Yanlan had done, and because of that, he felt fear. How did Yanlan end up in Kunlun Mountain, and why did he bring Bai He out? What was his intention?
There were no signs of being controlled by the Chaos Demon God on Yanlan's body. With his Taoist air and graceful figure, his appearance was extraordinary, seemingly identical to when he was the deputy head of the Chuanxiao. But Bai He was well aware that everything was different.
He declared loudly: "Yanlan Dao Ren, even if the Lord Buddha is not at home, Kunlun Mountain also has someone capable of handling you! No matter what your scheme is, on the grounds of old friendship, I advise you to leave quickly!"
Yanlan smiled but remained silent. Three breaths later, when Bai He thought he would retreat, this guy suddenly struck out.
Although Bai He often performs errand and message delivery tasks, he actually does have some strength. It's just that in the presence of Yanlan, that bit of strength is as good as none.
The array of the Yu Xū Palace did not even have a chance to be activated, and there was no time to call on Yu Qing Dao Ren. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Yanlan didn't even use any of the bizarre means bestowed by the Chaos Demon God. He simply used a strike from his former Daoist Golden Deity Fruit to knock down Bai He, and with another move, he rendered the attendant unconscious.
Yanlan's daring act of forcibly seizing Bai He was certainly not without purpose.
When he joined the Chuanxiao, he offered his accumulated wealth from years of traveling the vastness of the universe as a token of his sincerity.
That meant confiscation, and from now on, all these spiritual materials and essence elixirs would be handed over to the Chuanxiao for handling. It was his heartfelt tribute upon joining the sect and becoming a disciple.
The pride of the Original Heaven Sage wouldn't let him take advantage, so he outright refused. Yanlan pleaded repeatedly, and eventually, a separate private room was established within the Yu Xū Palace to store these celestial treasures.
The Original Heaven Sage never cared about what was inside the private room. He never even looked inside. Although he didn't explicitly say so, these things still belonged to him, and the disciples of Chuanxiao would not touch a single item.
This gave Yanlan an opportunity, and both in name and fact, these treasures belonged to the Original Heaven Sage. Anyone else who wanted to look into them would have to pass the Original Heaven Sage's inspection first. This can be considered an alternative kind of "black box" under the light.
Now, Yanlan has come to retrieve one of the most precious items from among them.
Yanlan relied on the help of Chang'er Ding Guangxian as an inside man to "illegally enter" the Vast Expanse, and he was also filled with worry and doubt in his heart.
Yanlan had personally witnessed Hongjun and knew that the Dao Master's power far exceeded his imagination. He dared not ponder whether the Dao Master knew about his "illegal entry."
He moved swiftly, taking a drop of Bai He's essence blood from the heart, then struck several Yu Qing incantations with his hands. The array of the Yu Xū Palace slowly opened.
As the deputy head of the Chuanxiao, he was free to come and go from the Yu Xū Palace as he pleased. Now, however, he cannot enter without using Bai He as a bridge.
Once he gets inside the Yu Xū Palace, everything else will be easier to handle.
Yanlan had a clear objective and quickly found a precious mirror in his own private chamber.
This was an exquisite Primordial Essence treasure that he had stolen from the Western King Mother. It was called Kunlun Mirror.
The Kunlun Mirror contains a trace of regret before Pangu's fall. Pangu did not know if the decision to sacrifice himself for the Primordial Expanse was correct. Although he ultimately made a resolute decision, that trace of regret remained after he split heaven and earth. It was preserved and shaped into the Kunlun Mirror through the unique terrain aura of Kunlun Mountain.
This mirror had always been kept by the Western Queen Mother, as it contained a time force that was not under Hongjun's control. This time force came from Pangu, which was much older than Hongjun's becoming a saint.
The Western Queen Mother was also hesitant to refine it at random, so she just kept it there. But Yanlan got wind of it and stole it secretly.
Yanlan cunningly hid the Kunlun Mirror in the Yu Xū Palace, not only ensuring that the Western Queen Mother couldn't find any clues, but even if she did, she dared not come to claim it from the Original Heaven Sage. The matter was simply brushed aside without further mention.
Now, Yanlan wants to use the time force within the Kunlun Mirror.
He has three strategies: the upper strategy is to go back in time and rewrite everything, and who knows if he might also have the chance to become a saint.
Only after experiencing the chaos in the Primordial Wilderness can one appreciate the value of the Primordial Expanse. If given a choice, he wouldn't go to the Chaos even if he were paid a thousand times.
The middle strategy is to not become a saint but maintain the status quo, continuing to serve as the deputy head of the Chuanxiao.
The lower strategy is that he cannot change the past, so he can only abandon his past in the Daoist sect and try to become a time demon among the Chaos Demons.
Chaos Demons have never ventured into the realm of time, and They cannot understand its true essence. Yanlan voluntarily joined the decaying demons and proposed his own ideas, ultimately gaining permission.
There are too many unknowns with the lower strategy, and in fact, he does not want to take this path.
