Celestial Clan
This left everyone speechless. Back then, Second Baldy fell in love with a woman from the Heavenly Divine Mountain, but they were separated. Shi Hao, Huo Ling’er, and the others looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.
“Back then, that old thief wreaked havoc in Heavenly Divine Mountain, destroying spiritual medicines, stealing holy medicines, coveting my clan’s divine treasures, and deceiving my father. He has committed all types of crimes, yet today, he still dares to speak such nonsense. Capture him!” Fourth Master roared.
Several experts rushed over from behind him, about to capture that strange hairless bird.
Second Baldy glared at him and said, “Stop. Aren’t you going to ask your aunt? If you disrespect me and break her heart, you’ll have to apologize to me in the end.”
That was truly a huge gossip. The people of the Heavenly Divine Mountain all began to mumble, and the few people who rushed forward slowed down. Even the Fourth Master didn’t feel all that confident. Even though he was extremely angry, he didn’t dare to act recklessly. What if he made a mistake?
“Yun Canghai, Kong Qiuji is here. You really are putting on airs. Aren’t you going to come down the mountain to greet me?” Second Baldy spoke. At this moment, there was a type of indescribable aura. He raised his head and roared toward the mountain.
“This old thief…” Yun Xi couldn’t remain calm. She found the bald bird horrible. She had long heard of such a scoundrel, and now, he actually called her grandfather by his name.
The great mountain was majestic, and multicolored clouds scattered down. A divine rainbow rushed over, scattering down an expanse of holy radiance. Clouds and mists dissipated, and an elder landed on the ground.
Shi Hao was familiar with the man. Back then, he had fought a great battle against this elder in the Void God Realm, won the armguard, and gave the man a good beating. Right now, he couldn’t help but smile.
Yun Canghai was a supreme expert of a generation, so his spiritual senses were naturally extremely powerful. He immediately saw Shi Hao’s expression. The brat was here again. The past was too unbearable to recall!
He really had the urge to kill Shi Hao, end things once and for all to cover up the experience of being beaten up. Otherwise, his heart would race every time Shi Hao blinked.
Of course, what he had to face now wasn’t Shi Hao, but rather to silence Kong Qiuji.
“Isn’t this the all-powerful Great Hoodwinker who looked down on the wasteland region back then? Kong Qiuji, what happened to you? Even your feathers fell off. I still remember the Peacock Supreme back then. He had an imposing appearance and was heroic. How did he end up in this state?” Yun Canghai said.
Second Baldy sneered and said, “What do you know? I am undergoing rebirth. Once the divine feather regenerates, I’ll be a divine existence. My divine appearance will be matchless and blind your.”
“Heh heh, after hiding for so many years, I thought you would have been reborn when you came out this time. When you fled into the Hundred Shattering Mountains back then, it was also a type of courage that was truly admirable,” Yun Canghai said. He looked at the other party, and then his face sank slightly. “You’ve already lost all of your cultivation, yet you still dare ascend to Heavenly Divine Mountain. Aren’t you scared that I’ll sacrifice you alive?”
“If I was scared of you, then I wouldn’t have come. Without me, would you all be able to study that formation thoroughly? Don’t tell me that you can. Without the formation diagram, you’re still far from it!” Second Baldy said proudly. He stared at the Heavenly Divine Mountain’s supreme expert with a face full of disdain, saying, “You all want to leave this realm. Did you even ask me? If I don’t let you leave, do you think you can?!”
When he spoke, his voice was extremely loud. He shot Yun Canghai and the others with a look of disdain, carrying a type of domineeringness that made everyone tremble.
“You…” Fourth Master was unsatisfied. That legendary evil peacock had returned and was berating his father in front of everyone. That was so arrogant, and he found it a bit hard to endure.
“Brat, don’t be reckless. If you don’t believe me, ask your father if you’ve pooped on my arm.” Second Baldy shot him a look, not seeming to care at all.
Damn it! Fourth Master was already middle-aged, and his status in Heavenly Deity Mountain was extremely high. He had great dignity, yet right now, the veins on his forehead were jumping. He felt like he was going crazy. Could the bird not be so unscrupulous? Regardless of whether it was true or not, he repeatedly brought it up in front of everyone, including the younger generation. That was so mean.
“Four, back off.” Yun Canghai spoke, not letting him take action.
“It really did happen?” Shi Hao was stupefied. He couldn’t help but mumble. His voice wasn’t that loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
Someone couldn’t help but snicker.
The Heavenly Divine Mountain was utterly embarrassed. Even Yun Xi felt a bit dizzy. Why was this evil peacock different from the legends she heard? Was there some hidden information?
“You scoundrel, why do you mock a child? You are still as unreasonable and unforgiving as before,” Yun Canghai said.
“Nonsense! It’s all your fault! You separated me from Menglan!” Second Baldy shouted.
The group of people from the Heavenly Divine Mountain pricked up their ears and listened carefully. It really did involve a great figure on the mountain, Yun Menglan.
Yun Canghai sneered. “If you hadn’t brought disaster to the spiritual medicines, stolen the holy medicines, and coveted my clan’s divine treasures, would we have chased after you?”
“Nonsense, I was just curious and wanted to explore a bit. You people obviously were jealous of my great talent,” Second Baldy shouted.
Everyone could tell that these were old grudges. Both sides had responsibilities, and no matter how they tried, they couldn’t clarify anything. In any case, Second Baldy wasn’t innocent, and the Heavenly Divine Mountain wasn’t either.
“Let’s go up the mountain and get to the bottom of this. I’ll go invite Menglan over,” Yun Canghai said, his eyes flashing with a crafty light.
Second Baldy immediately became discouraged and said, “Don’t invite her. How am I supposed to meet her in my current state? Let’s just sit down. I’ll come back to Menglan after I recover my heroic appearance.”
Then, he suddenly raised his head and said, “Yun Canghai, stop playing tricks on me. I’m not that forgiving. If you want to completely understand that formation, you’ll have to pay a high price.”
The mountain was tall and large. There was a bluestone path that was known to have existed since the archaic era. It was personally paved by a heavenly deity, and it led straight to the summit.
This stone path was covered in moss, and the winding path led to a secluded place. It gave off a feeling of searching for immortals. This was especially true for the spiritual medicines, spiritual birds, auspicious beasts, and other things that occasionally appeared by the side of the path, which added to the immortal aura.
“What a shocking medicinal field!” Shi Hao sighed with admiration.
When they approached the mountaintop, spiritual essence became rich, and all types of colors blossomed. There was a medicinal field that was full of spiritual medicines. It was full of vitality, and the medicinal fragrance was rich.
So many spiritual medicines could grow together because this was a spiritual field cultivated by an archaic heavenly deity. They laid down an astonishing formation to ensure that spiritual essence would surge. Apart from this, there was a spiritual spring that was enough to water and nourish this field.
This mountain was extremely large with a vicious bird region. There were many giant birds there, and every single one of them was several dozen meters to several hundred meters long. There were even a vicious beast region with overflowing baleful energy. The beasts roared from within the great formation, intimidating one’s soul.
The divine mountain was very impressive, and only the mountaintop was the most peaceful.
Yun Canghai brought everyone to a special region. There were two medicinal fields here and several thatched cottages. The aura felt otherworldly.
“Let’s have a chat.” The two arrived in front of a thatched cottage. They sat on a stone stool and began to drink tea. They seemed to have calmed down and stopped arguing.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao and the others walked to the medicinal field’s side and wandered about.
“Yun Xi, what does your clan’s holy medicine look like? Can you let us take a look?” Huo Ling’er asked. She was extremely curious.
Shi Hao, the Nine-Headed Lion, and the others nodded frantically. They also wanted to see it. They had long heard of the holy medicine’s great name, but they never saw it.
Yun Xi looked left and right, realizing that the important figures had all left. They were all angered by Second Baldy. For example, Fourth Master and the others went to seek confirmation from the older generation.
At first, she was in a bit of a dilemma, but in the end, she nodded, warning them that they couldn’t act recklessly when they went there. She warned Shi Hao to control the Emperor Butterfly. There was a heavenly deity formation there, and if they touched it, their bodies and souls would be destroyed.
This mountain peak was huge. Yun Xi brought them to another region and activated a formation. It was as if they entered another small world that was isolated from the outside world.
“Gosh, what dense spiritual energy, It even turned into liquid.” Flame Crow was shocked.
Spiritual springs gurgled here. Plants were abundant, flowers were in full bloom, and wondrous stones were everywhere. This was a holy land. Strands of multicolored light descended from the void, condensing into liquid droplets. It really was a spiritual liquid.
Everyone was speechless and was exclaiming in admiration.
“Are there many places like this?” Shi Hao asked.
“The spiritual essence isn’t as rich as here, but there are quite a few similar areas,” Yun Xi said. The mountain peak was divided into hundreds of such spaces by the formation as if they were all small worlds.
“This divine mountain is huge!” The Nine-Headed Lion sighed in admiration. What he saw along the way was only the scenery on the surface, but the true secret realm was covered by the formation.
When they entered the depths of this formation, even from far away, a wave of fragrance wafted over. Everyone’s expressions changed, and they couldn’t help but walk forward.
Then, everyone became alarmed. Their souls actually showed signs of leaving their bodies. That fragrance could nourish one’s soul.
“What kind of ancient medicine is this?” Huo Ling’er was shocked.
Everyone knew that they were about to see that stalk of holy medicine. It was definitely the fragrance it released.
Just like that, they traveled several miles. The fragrance became thicker and thicker, and they finally arrived. It was a lake formed from liquefied spiritual essence.
Apart from this, there were symbols flickering at the bottom of the lake, as well as a few divine stones between heaven and earth. They released their source aura, allowing that stalk of holy medicine to grow.
This was a lotus that took root in a small lake less than five hundred meters in radius. It was full of fragrance, and it was purple-gold in color. Even its roots were like this as if they were cast from purple divine gold.
“What kind of holy medicine is this? My soul feels exceptionally comfortable here,” Flame Crow asked.
“Soul Guiding Lotus,” Yun Xi replied. This holy medicine had lived for an incomparably long time and was priceless. Nothing could be exchanged for it.
The Soul Guiding Lotus was surrounded by sparkling purple light. Waves of purple multicolored light rose, creating a hazy scene. There were eight leaves in total, and the purple-gold flower had eight petals. Auspicious multicolored light blossomed from the center of the flower.
“This really is a treasure…” Shi Hao said with a sigh. Such a holy medicine’s effect was astonishing to the point of reviving the dead. Meanwhile, when refining pills, adding a bit could increase the medicinal effects by ten times.
Regarding using the entire stalk of holy medicine in pill refinement, normal people didn’t understand it at all. It was difficult for them to touch upon that domain.
“It’s rumored that in ancient times, this medicine received the care of a heavenly deity. It had a total of nine leaves, and the flower was also divided into nine petals. It was even more mystical, and its medicinal effects were many times stronger than now,” Yun Xi said.
“What? That’s incredible!” The Rainbow Luan was shocked.
“Yes. Later on, it was injured, and its true spirit was cut off, which is why it has degenerated into this state.” Yun Xi sighed.
“Eight leaves and eight petals already makes it a holy medicine. If it has nine leaves and nine petals, then what level of medicine is it?” Shi Hao was suspicious.
Right now, the Emperor Butterfly in his hair was about to revive, but he immediately stopped it. A heavenly deity formation was here, so it would most likely be dangerous to recklessly barge in.
Right at this time, someone outside the formation sent a message, inviting Shi Hao, Yun Xi, and the others to go over and leave this space.
After coming out, they once again returned to those thatched cottages. They saw Second Baldy fighting a group of experts alone, spittle flying everywhere.
“Well, you all came back. I’ve already told them everything. They realized that the formation was damaged, and that only the formation diagram I stumbled upon could repair it. As a result, they are extremely grateful to me,” Second Baldy said, not paying any attention to the group of people’s ashen expressions.
He looked at Shi Hao and said, “Brat, I’ve already found you a wife, this purple-clothed girl. She’ll be yours. Her grandfather happily agreed.”
“What…” Yun Xi was so frightened that her beautiful face turned pale. She had only left for a while. What happened?
“They owe me, so they have to pay me back.” Second Baldy acted cockily, not showing the Heavenly Divine Mountain any respect at all.
