591: Birthday

“Fellow Daoist, you are aware of the path my Junior Brother and I Cultivate. Therefore, I thought of finding the essence Bloodline of the Three-Eyed Spirit Clan, which had disappeared for countless years, and giving it to my Junior Brother to refine. With the assistance of the Three-Eyed Spirit Clan’s talent, it could help my Junior Brother stabilize his state of mind. His future achievements might even surpass mine, surpass Revered Master, and there would be a slim hope of achieving the Mahayana Realm.”

“However, later an unforeseen event occurred. During my search, I encountered a living Three-Eyed Spirit Clan expert. I was no match and was suppressed in separate locations by him.”

“Until I met Fellow Daoist.”

“After returning to the Ancient Kingdom, I only learned about my Junior Brother’s situation from a message sent by the Clan. I didn’t expect that he would Cultivate forbidden techniques and become like this. Ultimately, it is still my fault.”

“Fellow Daoist, I have an impolite request.”

Black Demon Dao Lord's expression was complex; this was the first time he had voluntarily spoken about these matters.

Mo Xuan listened, a burning flame of gossip seemingly igniting in his heart.

“Fellow Daoist, please speak frankly.”

Mo Xuan casually dispelled the burning flame of gossip in his mind, and with a serious expression, he spoke to Black Demon Dao Lord, his voice deep, authoritative, and imbued with endless Dao.

“I wish to ask Fellow Daoist to spare my Junior Brother’s life and have him suppressed within your true treasure.”

“In exchange, I am willing to obey Fellow Daoist’s command from now on.”

Black Demon Dao Lord stepped back half a pace, his face serious and earnest.

Now that the hidden danger was gone, he could have left freely, but with this promise, it meant entering the Qingyang Zhou Clan.

“Good.”

Mo Xuan looked at Black Demon Dao Lord with a hint of surprise.

He hadn't realized that Black Demon Dao Lord possessed such a broad mind.

He recalled that when they first met in the Qianling Dynasty, Black Demon Dao Lord exuded a very heavy aura of resentment.

He was like a completely different person now.

Well... anyone who was suppressed for such a long time would have their mentality explode... Mo Xuan muttered to himself.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your understanding.”

Black Demon Dao Lord’s expression relaxed slightly, and he bowed to Mo Xuan again.

At the same time.

Inside the ancient stele.

“How could this be...”

White Demon Dao Lord’s expression was dazed as he muttered to himself.

The conversation between the two passed through the stele and reached the ears of White Demon Dao Lord and Dark Star Dao Lord.

Memories began to surface from the depths of their souls.

“Senior Brother... why...”

White Demon Dao Lord’s mind was in turmoil. So, his Senior Brother had fallen to this state because of this...

“Hmph, Fellow Daoist White Demon, this is clearly a trick, a deception. Don’t fall for it.”

Dark Star Dao Lord snorted. He didn’t believe this nonsense. One must know that even his Senior Brother, Dark Moon Dao Lord, had things he concealed from him and didn’t let him know.

“Hmph, what do you know!”

White Demon Dao Lord’s face changed slightly, and he cursed angrily.

“Alright, alright, so it’s my fault now...”

Dark Star Dao Lord’s eyes showed pity. How did such a person Cultivate to this Realm?

Little did he know, in the Cultivation world, one strives for life, and the Great Dao is hard to find. If one is still struggling in the sea of suffering, how could they do this much for others?

Outside the stele.

Mo Xuan chuckled inwardly, and with a thought, the clan-guarding divine stele disappeared.

After the stele disappeared.

Mo Xuan glanced at Black Demon Dao Lord beside him.

“Fellow Daoist, my promise just now was not false.”

Black Demon Dao Lord’s expression became serious, and his tone became solemn.

What he had just said was seventy percent true and thirty percent false. Seeking the talent of the Three-Eyed Spirit Clan was not solely for his Junior Brother, but also for himself.

If he could obtain such a supreme Bloodline and integrate it into the Black God True Solution, his own strength and Cultivation would likely advance another level.

Mo Xuan nodded slightly.

Immediately, one person and one snake disappeared above the sea...

Half a month later.

In the northern part of the Chaotic Sea, on Gui Zhou Island, atop Qingyang Peak.

Zhou Dingyang’s figure appeared at the peak of Qingyang Peak.

“Ancestor Yue, Ancestor Ren, Ancestor Yi, Grand-Aunt.”

“This is news from the Yaoguang Ancient Kingdom.”

After greeting the others, Zhou Dingyang came to their side, sat down cross-legged, and in private, he still addressed them by their seniority.

He handed over a spirit jade in his hand to them.

After Zhou Liyue took it, Zhou Dingyang continued to speak.

“This is news sent back by Xingqun through an envoy. Xingqun inquired with the Female Sovereign, and although Dao Lord Shenhui came from Supreme Heaven, one of the ten great immortal Sects, his talent was not exceptional back then. Therefore, he had already left Supreme Heaven and established his own Sect. However, after leaving Supreme Heaven, he seemed to have had a fortuitous encounter, which allowed him to break through to the Dao Integration Realm.”

“Although Dao Lord Shenhui wanted to return to Supreme Heaven, Supreme Heaven did not seem to recognize him.”

“The Female Sovereign also said that Dao Lord Shenhui’s lineage does not have a strong Foundation within Supreme Heaven and cannot influence Supreme Heaven’s will.”

Zhou Dingyang slowly finished speaking.

This was the benefit of having connections.

Otherwise, with the Zhou Family’s current shallow Foundation, such secret matters would certainly be impossible to know.

“No wonder the Divine Radiance Hai Clan didn’t send anyone to demand the person.”

Zhou Xiutong felt a sense of understanding.

After all, Hai Huaiyang, the direct Bloodline of the Hai Family, had indeed died at the hands of Futian Great Sage.

And Futian Great Sage was captured by the Zhou Family.

According to the usual behavior of major forces, when such an incident occurs, to maintain the face of the Sect or Family, they would naturally send strong individuals to demand the person.

However, the Divine Radiance Hai Clan had not sent anyone this time.

“In that case, there’s no need to worry.”

Zhou Liyue, Zhou Leren, Zhou Leyi, and Zhou Xiutong read through it, then nodded and said.

“There’s one more thing.”

Zhou Dingyang flipped his right hand and took out an invitation card with mysterious patterns from his Storage Pouch.

“This is an invitation card sent along by the envoy from the Yaoguang Ancient Kingdom. In thirty years, it will be the Female Sovereign’s six thousandth birthday, and she invites our Family to attend the banquet.”

As Zhou Dingyang spoke, he unfolded the invitation card, which was imprinted with the mark of the Yaoguang Ancient Kingdom.

Inside, golden characters shone forth.

“Since it is the Female Sovereign’s birthday, our Family naturally must go to offer congratulations.”

“And this, the gift, needs to be carefully thought out.”

“We can’t just send a pile of deep-sea source stones again.”

Zhou Leyi chuckled and shook his head, recalling Zhou Xiangyu’s somewhat resentful words after the Spirit Treasure Pavilion appraisal meeting.

“Haha.”

Everyone laughed in unison. Who could blame them, for in this Chaotic Sea, deep-sea source stones were the most abundant.

“That is natural.”

“Dingyang, you arrange this matter.”

Zhou Liyue smiled without speaking. Zhou Leren reached out and stroked a non-existent beard, and with the air of an elder, he instructed Zhou Dingyang.

Zhou Dingyang nodded, then put away the invitation card.

Thirty years was enough time to prepare.

Given the current relationship between the Zhou Family and the Yaoguang Ancient Kingdom, it naturally could not be treated as an ordinary matter.

“Birthday...”

“Revered Master, where are you now...”

Among them, Zhou Xiutong’s expression was slightly dazed. In a few more days, it would be her Revered Master’s birthday. Although her Revered Master never cared about such things, she remembered it.

“If only she could have left a few years later...”

Zhou Xiutong thought of the Divine Firmament World-Breaking Scroll she obtained from the Leiyan Cave Mansion. If she had the help of this technique, with her Revered Master’s talent, she might become a mighty being in not too long.
