Chapter 176 The Key of Destiny
"What tree spirit?"
"Just like the beliefs of the human race," Qi Huai explained, "Qingqiu also has a similar existence. Qingqiu worships the Tree God located in the center of Qingqiu. Whenever something happens, the Qingqiu fox clan prays to him."
Last time you went to Qingqiu, I forgot to take you to see the Tree God.
Yun Fuzhao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your tree spirit isn't called the Bitter Love Tree, is it?"
Qi Huai was taken aback. "No. It's called the Bodhi Tree. What's the Bitter Love Tree?"
Yun Fuzhao shook his head, "It's nothing, I was just talking nonsense."
She looked at the large group of foxes behind him. Had he brought the entire Qingqiu here?
“I heard about it on my way here,” Qi Huai’s gaze fell on her wrist, “Is this the legendary dragon race?”
When Jiaoyu saw him, she angrily spat out a small blue fireball, which was about to touch Qi Huai's face when he waved it away.
Their relationship has always been strained.
Qi Huai was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue with it. "As expected of our Sect Master Yun," it laughed. "A mere dragon clan is nothing to us."
Yun Fuzhao waved his hand, "Oh dear, don't praise me, don't praise me."
Qi Huai knew her well, so he immediately went behind her and tenderly massaged her shoulders. "Everyone says that our Sect Master Yun is the number one genius in the cultivation world. Seeing you today, it's clear that the reputation is well-deserved. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her cultivation is also so formidable. What man in this world could possibly be worthy of you..."
Yun Fuzhao pouted.
No wonder ancient emperors loved treacherous officials; this praise is too much to bear.
The fox clan members behind Qi Huai looked at each other, none of them expecting that their usually stern and unsmiling fox lord would say such a thing.
Tang Xing was not surprised at all. Such words were commonplace for their Fox Lord. In front of Yun Fuzhao, it was not surprising that he would do or say anything.
“I’ve heard that the Boundless Sword Sect suffered heavy losses,” Qi Huai said. “We’ll stay here for a while to avoid any mishaps.”
Yun Fuzhao was short-handed, so he didn't refuse when he heard the suggestion, saying, "Everyone can stay wherever they like, just make yourself at home."
The fox clan looked at the Boundless Sword Sect, now reduced to ruins, and asked, "Where do we live?"
Yun Fuzhao then realized that they had just finished a great battle, with special effects flying everywhere, leaving craters and holes in the sect.
It even scared away many spirit beasts.
Yun Fuzhao coughed, "The inner peaks are fine."
After settling the fox clan members in, Yun Fuzhao began to settle accounts with his disciples.
This is no small matter. Nearly thirty inner disciples of the sect died, and even more outer disciples, nearly sixty people, died.
Their sect only had so many disciples, and after this ordeal, they were severely weakened. Not to mention those who were injured.
Yun Fuzhao was heartbroken.
It seems that recruiting new disciples needs to be put on the agenda.
Her pact with the dragons had almost spread throughout the Southern Continent, and she figured the Northern Continent must know about it too. She could use this excellent opportunity to poach more members from their ranks.
Not only disciples, but also elders.
Their sect has too few elders, and almost none of them are capable of handling things independently.
“Yun Fuzhao”.
Gokui walked towards her step by step. In just one month, he had lost a lot of weight. His cultivation level was reduced by half, but the oppressive aura emanating from him had not diminished at all.
"What did Lian Sheng say?"
“He prescribed me medicine,” Goque looked at her, “and if I follow his treatment method, I will recover in less than two months.”
"That's good."
Fortunately, her injury method was different from Qu Wangzhi's, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to keep up with the situation.
“I owe you a lot,” Goque said, taking out a white, crescent-shaped jade stone. “This is the key to destiny that Eclipse possessed. Now, I’m giving it to you.”
Key to Destiny?
What is this?
[Yun Family Team 5, Ziqian: Is it something like a human jade seal? With it, one can control the Eclipse Wolf Clan?]
[That shouldn't be the case. In the Eclipse Era, the strong are revered; this kind of thing is just for show.]
Seeing that even powerful beings didn't know, Yun Fuzhao became a little curious, "What is this used for?"
Gokui was taken aback. "You don't know?"
"I don't know. It seems that we don't have such a thing in our cultivation world."
Gokui shook his head. "No, you have them too. As far as I know, there are two, one in the Southern Continent and one in the Northern Continent."
This is interesting. Yun Fuzhao has been in the cultivation world for so long, and he has never heard any other cultivator mention it. If he didn't say it, Yun Fuzhao would have assumed it was unique to the eclipse.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Gokui added, "The Key of Destiny can unlock miracles, where ancient relics remain, burying the remains of ancient gods. These ancient gods were not ascended beings, but true gods born from heaven and earth. They appeared even before the dragons."
Yun Fuzhao had seen records about these gods, who were said to be the rulers of heaven and earth before the birth of all things.
If the dragon race is the overlord of the six realms, then the true god is the overlord among overlords.
I've heard of true gods, but they're not on the same level as us ascended cultivators. We can only be called false gods at best.
To be honest, I initially thought the upper realm was controlled by true gods, but after actually going up there, I realized I was overthinking it.
To be honest, Yun Fuzhao thought so too. If the Upper Realm isn't controlled by the true gods, then who is managing it?
[Yun Family Brigade 5, by Ziqian: There is no controller. The powerful beings of the Upper Realm are all doing well and do not interfere with each other.]
That sounds pretty liberating.
"Since you have the key, why don't you go take a look there?"
“Ten keys are needed to open the miracle, and the one I have is useless,” Gokui said. “Moreover, the location of the miracle is not very clear. Even if we collect all ten keys, it will take a lot of time to find the entrance.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Fuzhao understood. What was the difference between this and collecting cards to redeem prizes? No, collecting cards at least offered a slightly better chance.
"According to you, it seems like I'm not really using them." What's the difference between collecting all ten keys and climbing to heaven?
Moreover, according to him, there are two powerful cultivators in the cultivation world, and she felt that they were most likely in the hands of the Xuan Tian Sect and the Rebirth Palace. The Xuan Tian Sect was alright, but was the Rebirth Palace a place she dared to even dream of?
She should probably just wash up and go to bed early.
“There are many difficulties, but also many temptations,” Gokui said slowly. “If you collect all ten keys, you can enter the miracle and receive the inheritance of the true god. Ascension will not be a problem. If you observe carefully, you will find that in recent years, the number of cultivators who have ascended is very small. This is not only the case in the cultivation world, but also in the other worlds.”
That's true. Since she came to this novel world, she has only seen Qi Teng ascend to immortality. "If that's the case, why don't you cooperate, search for miracles together, and then enter that place together?"
"Impossible. Miracles are mostly rare. If we go together and find one, how will we distribute it? The relationships between the five realms are not as simple as you think. Everyone wants to have the inheritance to themselves. If one person can enjoy it, why share it with others?"
That's true. If they really went, who knows what kind of fighting would break out.
Yun Fuzhao: "Then give it back to me?"
Gokui stared at her for a moment, then slowly said, "Because I think you can. No one else could. Only you, just you."
