Chapter 56: The Final Destination of Daji from the Conferring of the Gods War, A First Glimpse at the Situation in the North Sea Continent

Yushu Mountain.

The grass and trees are lush, the blue stones jagged. Clouds and water ripple, a scene of freshness and elegance—the warm sun shines as the cries of cranes drift from afar, echoing incessantly in the empty valley. To the ear, there is an indescribable chill.

A Cave Abode occupied by a cuckoo in a magpie's nest.

Inside the small garden.

Qingshe stands to one side, quietly watching Fang Longye, who is lying on a Vine Chair, holding an illustrated scroll and reading it carefully.

A moment later, Fang Longye looks up at her and chuckles: "What? Still angry that I didn't help you take revenge?"

Qingshe shakes her head: "Not at all—"

She then adds: "At first, I thought you, Great King, had taken a fancy to her, but now it doesn't seem like it—"

"Oh? You thought I took a fancy to her just because she is beautiful? Or is there lust in my eyes?"

Fang Longye sees her burning gaze.

He immediately rubs his nose and says: "Fine! Even if it is because I like beauty. However, some beauty! Is not to be touched—"

He reaches out to gather the surrounding flower dew, condensing it into a crystal-clear blue ice flower, and hands it to Qingshe: "Just like this ice flower, it is beautiful, but if you touch it, you will have a piece of flesh torn off."

"It seems you find it strange that I kept her after seizing her treasures and occupying her Cave Abode?"

Seeing her bow her head, Fang Longye shakes his.

This is a matter of perspective.

Sometimes, a person's height of growth truly depends on their perspective.

"Have you never heard of the Conferring of the Gods War?"

Qingshe is silent.

"What about Daji and Zhou Wang?"

"Oh, Great King, it's not as if you don't know that my knowledge in this area is indeed shallow. Just tell me straight, don't keep me in suspense!"

"No wonder you were eaten alive by others—"

Fang Longye shakes his head helplessly and immediately casts a ray of light, carrying various pieces of information, which surges into Qingshe's mind.

"So that's how it is—" Qingshe opens her eyes, her face full of surprise.

"I didn't expect her to belong to the 'second generation' you mentioned to us before?"

"A second generation whose family is ruined and dead doesn't count as a second generation." Fang Longye shakes his head.

Previously, before actually arriving at Yushu Mountain, what Fang Longye thought was actually very simple: kill the demon and seize the treasure!

The key lay in that all-penetrating glance. It wasn't that he had taken a fancy to the fox demon, but that he had seen that Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart within the fox demon's primordial spirit.

Being both a Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart and a fox demon naturally made him, a transmigrator, let his imagination run wild.

Although he only guessed half of it right—he had originally thought this fox demon was the reincarnation of Daji, but he didn't expect her to be just a descendant of Daji's lineage.

However, he guessed the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart quite accurately; it was indeed that of Bi Qian.

Looking at the various secrets revealed by the fox demon on the scroll.

"Hmm, that's not right either; at least she has a great-grandmother who ascended to heaven to become a Star Lord. Even if it is a very distant great-grandmother." Fang Longye denies it to himself.

According to the fox demon, the strange treasure known as the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart was refined by Daji after she gouged out that sage's heart from Bi Qian.

According to the deductions made by Daji before refining it, this strange treasure could clear the mind and sharpen wisdom, greatly enhance a cultivator's comprehension, and assist in one's own cultivation of the Dao.

Hmm, this predecessor Daji indeed did not deduce wrongly. Unfortunately, there is always a slip in a hundred plans. After this strange treasure was refined, she discovered that it was directly cursed by the fortune of the Human Dao, possessing a drawback specifically targeting the fox clan.

For any of the fox clan who use this to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, every time they ascend a realm, the Human Dao will inevitably descend a portion of Humanity Karma.

One can only say that after racking her brains, in the end, she refined this strange treasure in vain; it can be called a loss outweighing the gain.

Yes, it is the fortune of the Human Dao, not the fortune of the Human Race. Otherwise, with the authority and means Daji had in the Shang Dynasty at that time, she could have completely found a way to remove this drawback.

This shows the weight a sage occupies within the Human Dao.

And because of this, during the Conferring of the Gods War, although she performed great service for Nuwa, she still did not transcend the Calamity in the end.

However, what deviates from Fang Longye's memories of his past life is that Nuwa did not deceive her; she did attain a righteous fruit.

Who dares to say that the Divine Dao is not a righteous fruit?

Moreover, she is ranked as one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the fifth mansion of the Eastern Seven Mansions: Heart Moon Fox.

Unfortunately, during the Conferring of the Gods War, she offended too many people.

Those whose hearts were gouged out, eyes dug out, those subjected to the cannon-roasting punishment, those whose children were eaten, those who were eaten... there are many among them who were either third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect or sages of the Human Dao. Not to mention the Calamity Sect, which had absolutely no good feelings for her, an "evil queen" who specialized in holding them back from the rear.

And that is not the end of it.

The fox clan still has to settle the final account with her! With her own strength, she ruined the reputation of the fox clan, turning the fox clan from auspicious divine beasts into symbols of evil.

This sin is not something she can bear alone. Although she is on the Conferring of the Gods list and is to a certain extent immortal and indestructible, the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan has suffered a terrible fate. The Tushan Clan directly "expelled them from the fox registry."

Uh, actually, it just means Tushan Niangniang announced she would no longer protect them.

After that, what would happen?

For a race without a big shot to protect them, in this cruel Primordial World, the result is self-evident.

Zero-cost shopping—who doesn't like it?

From then on, the Qingqiu foxes scattered, becoming a legend.

And this fox demon named Hu Qiuyue is a descendant of Daji's lineage who inherited this strange treasure.

"Her great-grandmother, who is related by the thinnest of threads, already has so many enemies. Can she still look after this little demon?"

Fang Longye shakes his head: "Leave a line for others in your dealings, so you may meet again in the future. No matter what, she is still one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions."

Most importantly, no matter how down-and-out she is, she is still a figure who has seen Nuwa. Just for this point alone, her descendants are worth treating seriously.

"Besides, I can say things like this. You can listen to them, but you must never echo them. Who knows, she might be listening to every word and action!"

"Ah?" Qingshe is instantly frightened, her face turning pale.

"Alright, I'm teasing you." Fang Longye laughs.

"Ah, Great King~ You are so mean, you scared me to death!" Qingshe patted her chest, looking as if she were still shaken.

Then, Fang Longye straightened his expression and said, "Although I was teasing you, I only concealed the Heavenly Secrets this time; the principle, however, is real."

"You used to be very cautious, but after following me, under the influence of my lax words and deeds, you have inevitably become slack. This is not good; you must know that you are not me."

Qingshe said thoughtfully, "Understood~"

"Alright, you may withdraw first! Since we now have a general understanding of the situation in Beiju Luzhou, you must know how we should proceed next."

Qingshe bowed to pay her respects and withdrew.

Fang Longye lay on the Vine Chair, looking at the garden scenery filled with misty floral fragrance.

His primordial spirit sat upright in his sea of consciousness, surrounded by a web-like network, with various pieces of information turning into specks of light, circling at the nodes of the web.

Above, a crimson heart radiating seven-colored light surged with boundless divine brilliance, enhancing his speed of thought and greatly increasing his comprehension.

Even his perspective on things became more complete than before.

"With my contact with the big shot Hongyun, I must have already entered the eyes of the powerful beings of this world."

"Although I don't know if the powerful beings of this world can truly see through my Golden Finger, I imagine my anomalies have long been noticed by these beings; I hadn't thought of this point before."

"The Dharma connection I forged with the big shot Hongyun surely won't be shallow, otherwise he wouldn't have treated a small demon like me in such a way. Of course, it is also possible that it was my anomaly that drew his attention."

"For such a long time, those powerful beings haven't had any reaction. I suppose they have rationalized my anomalies. In short, for me, who has already entered the eyes of those powerful beings, maintaining my consistent abnormality is the best choice!"

Casting aside these thoughts, Fang Longye thought of the present.

With the subjugation of the fox demon, a mid-to-low-level local tyrant at the Loose Immortal Realm, he had gained a general understanding of the current Beiju Luzhou.

Beiju Luzhou is vast and boundless.

If one needs to divide the region, the core of Beiju Luzhou is undoubtedly the Beiming Ocean, the place where that big shot's dojo is located.

Next, the northern territories adjacent to the Beiming Ocean are mostly occupied by some ancient great demons.

Then comes the central region, which is the area where Yushu Mountain is currently located. The strength of the demon kings ranges from those at the Golden Immortal Realm down to those at the bottom of the Immortal Dao like the fox demon.

After that is the southern region, where humans and demons are mixed; there are hidden demon immortals and also sects. However, it is said that they are all evil paths that are not tolerated by the Buddhist and Immortal factions and are chased and beaten in other continents.

Further south is the number one dangerous place in the world today—the Buzhou Abyss.

That's right, from Mount Zhou to Mount Buzhou, and now to the Buzhou Abyss. The true core of the Primordial World, one wonders what kind of karma it has incurred.

This Buzhou Abyss separates the Four Great Continents of the world today at the center, forcing one to travel in a circle.

This is the general situation of Beiju Luzhou as known by the fox demon.

It can be said that the region where Fang Longye is currently staying is neither too high nor too low, just right for his current realm.
