Spring has arrived, and it's the season when fairies' hearts flutter with mortal desires once again.

"Strange things?"

Pu Genshuo rubbed his chin, and for some reason, he showed an expression that said 'I understand,' saying in a lewd tone, "So that's what you're asking about. I just heard Miss Murong from the Joyful Union Sect say that sales of books produced by the Joyful Union Sect have skyrocketed in the Linglong Holy Land recently."

"It looks like spring has come, and it's once again the season when Fairies' hearts are stirred by the mortal world. Since we're attending the ceremony this time, if we're lucky, we might even have an unforgettable romantic tryst..."

Speaking of this, Pu Genshuo couldn't help but feel a sense of longing, his expression full of excitement, as if he had already seen the beautiful female Cultivators of the Linglong Holy Land throwing themselves into his arms.

I've really lost my mind!

Qi Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to hit someone.

Before coming, he had hoped to get some useful clues from Pu Genshuo, but it turned out to be just listening to this guy's nonsense, a complete waste of time.

Qi Yuan cursed inwardly and was about to leave, but just then, Pu Genshuo's eyes flickered as he continued:

"There's another strange thing. I heard from my Little Grand-aunt that the Linglong Holy Land Grand Elder who broke through to the Mahayana Realm this time had already exhausted her Lifespan after passing the first round of Dao Tribulation. Logically, it should have been impossible for her to withstand the next two rounds of Dao Tribulation."

"At that time, the Linglong Holy Land was already preparing for the funeral, but that Grand Elder not only miraculously survived but also reached the Mahayana Realm in one fell swoop, directly becoming the Linglong Holy Land's fourth Mahayana Ancestors."

Beside them, Lu Changfeng also chipped in:

"It seems something like this has happened before. The Linglong Holy Land was originally at the bottom of the Seven Great Holy Lands, but over these tens of thousands of years, it's as if they've been cheating. Three Tribulation Crossing Realm Grand Elders in a row successfully promoted to the Mahayana Realm, and their success rate clearly exceeds that of other Holy Lands."

"Now there are already four Mahayana Ancestorss within the Linglong Holy Land; in terms of numbers alone, they are no fewer than our Taixuan Holy Land, firmly ranking in the top three among the Seven Great Holy Lands."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan frowned, and a suspicion immediately formed in his heart.

Mythical Beast!

According to Old Man Shi, that Innate Divine Beast is a Mythical Beast.

Perhaps the fact that the Grand Elder in the Linglong Holy Land, whose Lifespan was nearly exhausted, could successfully undergo the tribulation is inseparable from the Mythical Beast.

In the Primordial Era, the Mythical Beast was called an Auspicious Beast. Legend has it that as long as someone rides Him once, they can increase their Lifespan by two thousand years.

Although legends aren't necessarily true, there's no smoke without fire; the Divine Beast Mythical Beast's ability is highly likely related to Lifespan.

This was also the main reason Qi Yuan agreed to complete Old Man Shi's entrustment. After all, no one would think they have too much Lifespan. Isn't it great to gain two thousand years of Lifespan from one ride?

Even if it doesn't increase by two thousand years, adding a hundred or so would be fine. At worst, he could just ride it a few more times... Qi Yuan thought silently... Two days later, Linglong Holy Land.

Auspicious mists filled the sky, and heavenly flowers fell in profusion.

Outside the mountain gate, a seven-colored rainbow bridge used for welcoming guests stretched out, leading directly into the depths of the Holy Land.

The massive taixuan treasure ship sped across the rainbow bridge. Qi Yuan stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, casually taking in the various sights within the Linglong Holy Land.

What met his eyes was a range of majestic mountains bathed in rosy light, with countless tiered jade buildings made of glass towering into the clouds, a true scene of an immortal dwelling.

On the rainbow bridge, there were also various flying carriages, spirit boats, Magical Artifacts, and Yao Beasts carrying Cultivators from other Sects, converging from all directions.

Facing the mountain-like taixuan treasure ship, the flying vessels of these small and medium-sized forces would obediently keep their distance and yield the path.

"Hiss... What a grand display by the Taixuan Holy Land. It truly is a top-tier Sect of this world."

On an inconspicuous flying boat, a young Disciple looked at the majestic and massive hull of the taixuan treasure ship and couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration. "Even if we sold our entire Fenghuo Fort as a package, we couldn't afford to build such a towering vessel."

His companion also nodded in shock and asked curiously, "I wonder which big shot from the Taixuan Holy Land is visiting to cause such a grand procession?"

Hearing this, the elder standing beside them lightly stroked his long beard and lectured in a solemn tone:

"I've told you before that there is always a heaven beyond the heaven and people beyond people. Don't be arrogant just because you have some cultivation."

"You should come out more to gain experience. Staying in the Sect all day looking at the sky from the bottom of a well will only make you as laughable as a frog at the bottom of a well."

Seeing the two Juniors looking like they had learned their lesson, the old man nodded and explained:

"The male Cultivator standing at the bow just now has nine special inscriptions on his robe, which means his status in the Taixuan Holy Land is extremely honorable. He is likely the Dao Child of Tai Xuan."

"Dao Child of Tai Xuan?"

The two young Disciples listened with longing. "A real man should live like that!"

Just then, cries echoed through the clouds as a massive carriage pulled by nine Auspicious Beasts whistled past.

This carriage was cast entirely from purple gold, its surface adorned with countless priceless gems and pearls, looking extravagant to the extreme.

The shark-silk gauze on the carriage was rolled up, revealing a handsome young man sitting cross-legged inside, wearing a lofty crown and a broad sash. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were half-asleep, yet he gave off an extremely dangerous feeling, as if one were facing a primordial beast.

"Dao Child of Ziyang, Ji Tianpeng! I didn't expect him to come too!"

After seeing the man in the carriage, the elder on the small flying boat's expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Senior Martial Uncle, didn't we just see the Dao Child of Tai Xuan?"

The young Disciple beside him asked in confusion:

"Why is your reaction so strong after seeing this Dao Child of Ziyang?"

"Sigh... there's something you don't know."

The old man sighed and said with a strange expression, "If the Dao Child of Tai Xuan or the Dao Child of Ziyang appeared alone, it wouldn't be much. But since the two of them appeared at the same time, it means there will definitely be a fierce struggle between them."

"What does this mean?"

As soon as these words were spoken, others in the flying boat also gathered around, listening intently.

"The oldest of the Seven Great Holy Lands is the Taixuan Holy Land. As the poem goes: Swords emerge from Liyuan, and the Dao begins in Taixuan."

"Back then, the Taixuan Holy Land dominated the world with unparalleled momentum, until two geniuses with peerless talent appeared in the same generation of successors."

"The strength of these two had been neck-and-neck since they entered the Dao, and neither would submit to the other. Later, to compete for the position of Sect Head, the two directly turned against each other and fought many times, but every time it ended in a draw."

"In the end, it got so bad that the Grandmasters of the Taixuan Holy Land had to personally step in and designate one of them as the Sect Head of the Taixuan Holy Land."

"The other person chose to leave the Taixuan Holy Land in a fit of rage. Because he had high prestige in the Taixuan Holy Land, he easily drew many Disciples who originally belonged to the Taixuan Holy Land to follow him."

At this point, the old man shook his head slightly with a look of regret:

"To avoid mutual slaughter between fellow Disciples, the former Grandmasters of the Taixuan Holy Land had to agree to let that person establish his own Sect, on the condition that he continue to recognize the Taixuan Holy Land as the orthodox lineage and not join the Demonic Path."

"Afterward, that person founded the Purple Sun Holy Land. From then on, although the Purple Sun Holy Land still acknowledges its Legacy from the Taixuan Holy Land, the relationship between them is very subtle."

"Although Disciples from both sides won't kill each other on sight, they will inevitably have a fight to determine who is superior."

"I see."

Everyone was enlightened upon hearing this; so the grudge between the two Great Holy Lands started like this.

At this time, a young man among the group asked excitedly:

"Senior Martial Uncle, in that case, if the Dao Child of Tai Xuan and the Dao Child of Ziyang were to fight, who would win?"

"The Dao Child of Ziyang, of course."

The old man replied without hesitation, "The Dao Child of Tai Xuan has only just taken the position of Dao Child; his cultivation is at most in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"And Dao Child of Ziyang, Ji Tianpeng is currently the one with the highest cultivation among the Dao Children and Saintesses of the Seven Great Holy Lands. It is said that when he broke through to the Soul Transformation, he drew down a hundred bolts of lightning, achieving the Hundred Tribulations Spirit Transformation, and his strength far exceeds those of the same rank."

"Even if he suppresses his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Realm, he's not someone the Dao Child of Tai Xuan can withstand!"

After hearing this introduction, all the Disciples on the flying boat nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with pity.

"To think it's the Hundred Tribulations Spirit Transformation; it seems the Dao Child of Tai Xuan is going to be thoroughly humiliated this time."
