64: Returning to Buzhou Mountain

Because their observations were not that meticulous, they never discovered the changes in Old Ancestor Reincarnations Dao Field.

Ancestor Yin Yang was completely kept in the dark.

Seeing Ancestor Five Elements looking at him with a strange gaze, Ancestor of Reincarnation quickly looked away.

"Ahem, well, this poor Daoist was invited by Old Thief Hongjun at a great cost. Fellow Daoist, don't get the wrong idea."

Ancestor of Reincarnation explained, but it would have been better if he hadn't; his explanation only revealed more flaws.

Ancestor of Reincarnation's words felt like a guilty person giving himself away; even Yin Yang, who was kept in the dark, looked at him strangely.

Yang Mei and Five Elements looked at Ancestor of Reincarnation with "I understand" expressions.

"This poor Daoist made Old Thief Hongjun give me three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures and twenty high grade innate spirit treasures."

"Only then did I agree to leave seclusion and help Old Thief Hongjun through the Dao-Demon Conflict."

"Fellow Daoists, please look, this is the price Old Thief Hongjun paid."

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly strange, Reincarnation quickly took out the Spirit Treasures he had swindled from Hongjun to prove himself.

Little did he know, this act only led him into a self-justification trap; even Yin Yang looked at Ancestor of Reincarnation with disbelief.

Ancestor Yang Mei and Ancestor Five Elements crossed their arms, quietly watching Ancestor of Reincarnation's performance.

You sneaky old fox, you've given yourself away without even being questioned.

However, the fact that Ancestor of Reincarnation could pluck feathers from a stingy iron rooster like Hongjun truly shocked the three of them.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Yang Mei suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted.

Startling all the other beings present.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, what's not right? What happened to make you act like this?"

Everyone looked at Yang Mei with suspicion; why was he being so erratic and startling them?

Ancestor of Reincarnation was in the middle of pulling out the Spirit Treasures he swindled from Old Thief Hongjun to prove himself; holding a Spirit Treasure, he asked.

"What a huge loss! This poor Daoist has suffered a massive loss!"

"Why didn't I make Old Thief Hongjun pay Spirit Treasures to invite me?"

"Why did I agree to Old Thief Hongjun so easily back then?"

"I should have been like Fellow Daoist Reincarnation and made Hongjun give me several Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures."

"I've lost so much!"

Ancestor Yang Mei clapped his hands; at this moment, he wished he could give himself two slaps.

Why did he agree to Old Thief Hongjun so easily? He should have swindled more Spirit Treasures from Old Thief Hongjun.

Especially seeing Ancestor of Reincarnation continuously pulling out one Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure after another.

Ancestor Yang Mei regretted it so much his intestines turned green.

It felt like clearly seeing a chance to win the lottery but failing to buy a ticket.

He was so angry he almost spat blood.

What was even more infuriating was that the person with you bought one and won.

Yet, the most infuriating part was still to come: this person was showing off right in front of you.

And even making sarcastic remarks.

"Huh? Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, did you ask for nothing from Old Thief Hongjun?"

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, you didn't let Old Thief Hongjun get something for nothing, did you?"

"I understand, though. After all, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei has plenty of Spirit Treasures; it's normal for you to look down on those treasures of Old Thief Hongjun."

Ancestor of Reincarnation spoke casually, but this was the most infuriating part.

Xuan Qing was trying his best to hold back; it was really hard to suppress his laughter.

His Revered Master was far too mischievous.

This was rubbing salt into Martial Uncle Yang Mei's wounds, and then dipping them in iodine and giving him two more lashes.

"Ah! Stop talking, stop talking! This poor Daoist is numb from the loss!"

"Why didn't I think of it then? Damn it, I let that fellow Old Thief Hongjun off too easily."

Ancestor Yang Mei immediately put on a mask of pain, clutching his head to show how much he had lost.

Ancestor Five Elements and Ancestor Yin Yang were also trying their best to hold back their laughter.

But in the end, their self-control failed, and they burst into loud laughter.

After a round of heartless mockery towards Yang Mei.

Ancestor Yang Mei, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Five Elements didn't stay long in Ancestor of Reincarnation's Dao Field before departing.

The three of them still needed to track Old Thief Hongjun to see who else he had invited.

Only the Revered Master and disciple, Reincarnation and Xuan Qing, remained in Ancestor of Reincarnation's Dao Field.

"Revered Master, your disciple has a premonition that my Opportunity lies in the direction of Mount Buzhou."

"Your disciple wishes to travel to Mount Buzhou; I hope Revered Master will grant permission."

Xuan Qing had no heart to stay and Cultivate in Ancestor of Reincarnation's Dao Field at this time.

He hadn't forgotten his most important task: to learn the Law of Reincarnation and then return to Pangu Hall to teach it to Sister Houtu.

Now that he had learned the Law of Reincarnation and obtained the reincarnation pearl and the seeds of the yet-to-be-born Reincarnation Purple Lotus.

He had already over-fulfilled his mission and had to return to Pangu Hall as soon as possible.

It would be best if he could teach the Law of Reincarnation to Houtu before she was born.

That way, after Houtu was born, she could naturally make rapid progress.

"Oh? You truly have good fortune, my disciple."

"Since you have sensed an Opportunity, then go on a journey to Mount Buzhou."

"I will not accompany you; I still need to enter seclusion to comprehend the mysteries of breaking through to the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable."

"These are three strands of my power, transformed into three hairs to bestow upon you."

"If you encounter a powerful enemy you cannot defeat, you may pull out one hair to strike them."

"Even a mighty being at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm would surely be reduced to ashes before this strike."

"My disciple, remember to use them with caution."

"Go now; an eagle must eventually leave the nest. I await your growth."

"What I can do is ensure you are not crushed by mighty beings."

"As for competition among peers of the same Realm, I will not interfere."

Reincarnation seemed to have known for a long time that Xuan Qing was leaving; he took out three hairs and planted them at the back of Xuan Qing's head.

This was equivalent to giving Xuan Qing three life-saving opportunities.

"Farewell, Revered Master. Your disciple will surely return as soon as possible to fulfill my filial duties."

"When I return, I will certainly give Revered Master a great surprise."

Xuan Qing was originally worried that his Revered Master would prevent him from going to Mount Buzhou or that his information would be exposed.

He didn't expect his Revered Master Reincarnation to be so open-minded; not only that, but he even gave him life-saving means.

This Revered Master was truly so good that there were no words for it.

"Go, my disciple, and do not neglect your cultivation."

Ancestor of Reincarnation sat cross-legged with eyes closed to Cultivate; with a wave of his hand, Xuan Qing appeared outside the Dao Field.

"So be it; everyone has their own fate. A young eagle must eventually spread its wings and soar."

"What I can do is prevent you from being crushed by Senior mighty beings."

Once Xuan Qing had departed, Reincarnation opened his eyes again, looked in the direction Xuan Qing had gone, and then closed them once more to resume his cultivation.

It seemed Ancestor of Reincarnation knew something.

But then again, in the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, one's abilities were in some respects even stronger than those of a Heavenly Dao Sage.

A Heavenly Dao Sage merely has their Primordial Spirit stored within the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to be resurrected quickly if killed.

If truly compared, a Heavenly Dao Sage simply cannot match a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

It wasn't very strange that Reincarnation, who had attained the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, saw through something about Xuan Qing.

After leaving his Revered Master's Reincarnation Dao Field, Xuan Qing activated the exiled immortal wings and rushed quickly toward Mount Buzhou.

Inside Pangu Hall, Taiqing suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward Xuan Qing's location with some confusion.

"Eh? What's going on? It's been less than ten thousand years; why is Xuan Qing already rushing back to Mount Buzhou?"

It turned out that as Xuan Qing was rushing back to Mount Buzhou, Taiqing sensed his movements in his heart.

Taiqing couldn't help but wonder; in less than ten thousand years, Xuan Qing shouldn't have even reached the Eastern Continent, right?

Why was he rushing back?
