Chapter 85: Demon Master Kunpeng
Baoan Hall.
Li Dan straightened his waist and bowed to the two.
Without waiting for the other party to return the salute, he walked to the side of the bed and looked carefully at Seeing Xiao Yu Yu on the bed, "Yue Tanxi, her fate... is really hard!"
He really couldn't say whether she was lucky or had a bad fate; he could only say "her fate is hard enough"!
Song Song Changqing looked up at him and asked suspiciously, "Li Official, are you here to find me, or..."
Shoujing Palace was in the Luodu Royal City, the residence of the Prince of Qinghe when he was a prince, and the Lacquer Garden Official was also a formal official of the Shu Kingdom.
So, did this Li Dan represent the Prince of Qinghe?
What did the Prince of Qinghe send someone to find him for?
And he had just returned to Tianmen Town, and he found him...
Li Dan looked at him with a playful expression and said, "At Flying Immortal Ferry, because of General Guan General Guan Huchen's relationship, you and Miss Yu became enemies, and the day before yesterday, under the guise of visiting, you ambushed and severely injured her."
Song Song Changqing pursed his lips; this was not the truth, but he understood that this was the only truth officially recognized now.
Li Dan added, "The General Guan family was reprimanded by the Marquis of Lord Lieyang because of the 'Little Imperial Consort Plan' and decided to completely sever ties with Miss Yu for the sake of both sides."
"What Little Imperial Consort?" Song Song Changqing asked.
"Until now, you still don't know why General Guan General Guan Huchen accepted her as a foster daughter? Sha barbarian Yu looks very much like the Marquis of Lord Lieyang's biological mother, Imperial Consort Li. It is said, like born of the same mother..."
Li Dan dragged a chair over by himself and told the general story of the "Little Imperial Consort" plan in a calm tone.
Song Song Changqing was shocked first, then suddenly realized, "So the Marquis of Lord Lieyang was angry because of this..."
"General Guan General Guan Huchen brought this upon himself, and it's far more than just the Little Imperial Consort plan. The General Guan Old Duck of Yingxiang Prefecture, he lives up to his name!"
Li Dan shook his head, didn't explain in detail, just stared at Song Song Changqing, and asked curiously, "What about you? What's going on? Is it really as Daoist Daoist Qingsong said, all your weird behaviors stem from the karma caused by digging up the Sha Dune dragon vein—you broke the dragon vein she raised, so you couldn't help but do something stupid this time?"
"I also heard that at Flying Immortal Ferry, Eight Immortals Shoot the Sun, she blocked Zhou Lang's flying sword for you?"
"Or, simply feeling sorry for her own kind, feeling indignant and unconvinced, insisting on making the General Guan family uncomfortable?"
Song Song Changqing was angry in his heart and mocked, "Adult, you not only know a lot, but your courage is also very big; this is Tianmen Town!"
"This is also the Shu Kingdom, I represent the King, represent the Prince!" Li Dan said indifferently.
Song Song Changqing was even angrier, "Fart Shu Kingdom, fart King of Shu, fart Prince of Qinghe, all are birds of a feather!"
"Truly have guts! I admire you, I truly admire you!"
Li Dan laughed and bowed to him.
Song Song Changqing kept a cold face and said nothing.
Li Dan wasn't embarrassed either, picked up the teapot on the table by himself, poured himself a cup, and said slowly, "Miss Yu's status is unusual, the General Guan family has given up, but the King and the Prince cannot just ignore it."
Song Song Changqing still remained silent.
Physician Min, who had been sitting on the side checking Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's pulse, finally reacted this time.
"Within three days, she goes nowhere; after three days, you can do whatever you want."
"Oh, the injuries are so severe that Divine Physician Min also needs three days to help her get out of danger?" Li Dan asked in surprise.
"Physically weak! She might not even wake up in three days."
——But within three days, it should be enough for the divine power hidden in the bloodline to complete its awakening... if his judgment was not wrong, if a second divine power really existed.
These three days he would help her cover up her aura.
The future depends on her own good fortune... sigh, he is just a physician after all.
Seeing Xiao Yu Yu never expected that Song Song Changqing would ambush her.
She even secretly guarded against Lady Wen.
Even if she acted like a spoiled child, making her feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, she still clung to Lady Wen, letting her show as much of the "Wind Yin Treasure Mirror" as possible. The purpose was only one, to improve the "Method to Destroy Mother Wen" as much as possible.
Not to mention the journey, her understanding of Song Song Changqing, and the relationship between the two.
In terms of strength alone, Song Song Changqing's realm is inferior to General Guan General Guan Huchen's.
Since she could kill General Guan General Guan Huchen using the "Tiger-Slaying Sword Intent" that targeted the flaws in the *Seven Killings of the Tiger Soul*, she could naturally kill him as well.
Therefore, she was careless and was ambushed by Song Song Changqing.
In that instant, she was extremely bewildered and furious.
But the next instant, her consciousness sank into darkness, and it kept sinking deeper.
It was as if there were a bottomless abyss beneath her; she fell into it, plummeting toward the deeper, darker bottom.
Until she sank to the bottom of the abyss, where the endless darkness, endless ice, and endless water allowed her to wake up a bit from her muddled state.
"Where am I? This place seems to be..."
She looked around, becoming even more confused. "The ocean? Why am I on the seabed?"
The surrounding seawater seemed to have never experienced sunlight; apart from the darkness, there was only coldness.
But the dark and cold seabed gave her a kind of awkward comfort.
When her consciousness was muddled before, she had been very uncomfortable.
Now that she had fallen to the bottom of the dark, icy sea, she felt at ease instead.
It was a feeling of returning home, like a fish entering water.
This feeling stemmed from her body's instinctive reaction, which conflicted with her self-awareness.
Her body felt that this place was a paradise.
Her cognition, however, was: I am a human, and humans should not stay in the sea.
"I am not a fish; I want to go up, I want to leave this place~~"
This thought gradually coalesced in her mind, and it became stronger and stronger.
Then, a great tsunami and storm occurred in the dark, icy sea; the icy water parted to both sides, rolling up waves ten thousand zhang high. She left the dark, cold seabed, soared into the sky, filled the entire firmament, and pressed the entire ocean beneath her.
The comfortable and free feeling returned.
This time, it was not the comfort of a fish entering water, but the freedom of a bird returning to the sky.
She "tilted her head" and could see wings so huge they split the sky in two.
The black feathers on the wings were incomparably huge; if even a single feather fell, it could form an island on the sea surface capable of housing ten million people.
"I, have I become a bird again? What a huge bird..."
Then a question flashed in her mind: "Entering the water makes me a fish, ascending the sky gives me feathers; so what exactly am I?"
She began to feel confused again.
In her confusion, she plunged headfirst into the dark, cold seawater, feeling warmth and safety at the bottom of the ten-thousand-zhang-deep sea. With a light flick of her tail, the ocean stirred up ten-thousand-zhang waves, and the winds and clouds of heaven and earth changed color.
She leaped up again, "Ang~~~"
She flew up again without any hesitation, spread her wings, and flapped them gently, stirring up wild winds and tsunamis.
At this moment, the boundary between heaven and sea blurred. The world was like this, and for her, it was the same.
Of the Four Great Continents, Nanzhan Mount Buzhou is the center, and to the south of Nanzhan Mount Buzhou lies the South Sea.
To the east, it is separated from Li Dongsheng Shenzhou by the East Sea.
To the north, it is separated from Beiju Bai Lu Zhou by the North Sea.
To the west, it connects to Xiniu Hezhou at the northern corner, with the West Sea sandwiched between them.
But to the west of Xiniu Hezhou, there are still mountains and seas, and to the east of Li Dongsheng Shenzhou, there are also still mountains and seas.
At the northernmost part of Beiju Bai Lu Zhou, there is an endless sea named "Chen Beiming"!
Just as Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's consciousness sank into darkness, alternating between becoming a fish in the water and a bird in the sky, in the deepest part of the Chen Beiming Sea, a Kun fish, huge beyond compare and resembling a sunken continent, awoke from its slumber and moved slightly.
It had not wanted to move.
It had been motionless like a dead fish for countless myriads of years.
But it was too excited at this moment.
"Heavens, it has been four hundred million years (ps) since this old man injected that wisp of essence blood into the Zhang Kunlun Mirror, hehehe..."
It laughed, both sorrowful and joyful. "Four hundred million years, the seas have changed into mulberry fields countless times.
Mount Mount Buzhou has collapsed, and the Primordial World has shattered into pieces.
The Demon Emperor Di Jun has also fallen, and the Demon Court has truly lost its heavenly mandate.
My Demon Race, like the ancient races before us, has stepped down from the throne of 'Protagonists of Heaven and Earth.'
Even the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Zhang Kunlun Mirror, has been shattered into fragments and disappeared into the long river of time.
My child, you have finally been born, finally returned from time, and were born in this Primordial World... It was too difficult."
"Since you have been born as I arranged in my plan, that 'Grandmist Violet Qi,' the one that escapes the Heavenly Evasion, must have been activated within your body, right?
Hahahaha, the opportunity for this old man to achieve the Dao has appeared, and the attainment of the Saint's throne is right before my eyes!
My child, grow up quickly.
Strengthen your bloodline, display your innate supernatural powers, let this father pinpoint your location, and then..."
It swallowed its saliva, using all its strength to suppress the greed and ecstasy in its heart.
Then, it sent a faint voice transmission a million miles away, "Peng San, come here to see me."
A million miles away, on a continent near Beiju Bai Lu Zhou in the Chen Beiming Sea, an emperor wearing a crown threw away the half-eaten head of a human palace maid, leaped three thousand zhang, spread wings that covered the sky and sun, flapped them, and flew one hundred and eight thousand miles in a single bound.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Great Peng arrived above a dark, icy sea.
"Ang!!"
It let out an excited cry and descended at high speed. Just as it was about to hit the water, its thousand-zhang-wide body suddenly shrank into a black dot—a white-faced noble young master five meters tall.
Five meters tall and powerfully built, yet handsome in appearance, wearing luxurious brocade robes and looking high-spirited, he resembled a young master from the Central Plains.
"Master Demon Master, you have finally awakened!"
Falling to the seabed, he faced the giant creature that was larger than a mountain range, knelt down in excitement, his eyes turning red.
"Yue Tanxi, a great catastrophe in the human world is rising again, and I have had a premonition..." the Demon Master sighed.
Since it concerned the opportunity to become a Saint, he did not intend to let anyone know his plans.
Peng San immediately said, "A great catastrophe is indeed about to rise in the human world. The Great Qin's heavenly mandate is coming to an end, and the Human Emperor Ying Zheng wants to make a desperate gamble.
The world says he has passed away, but we know he must be playing a big game; his soul never went to the Underworld.
He also knows that we know he is playing a big game; it just depends on who is the better chess player in the end.
Hehe, I don't know how many people will die in this catastrophe, and how many Immortals and Buddhas will be involved.
But it has nothing to do with our Demon Race, and it won't affect the Chen Beiming Demon Master Palace."
"You think too highly of yourself!" The Demon Master snorted coldly, mocking, "Ever since we stepped down from the position of 'Protagonists of Heaven and Earth,' which change of human dynasty hasn't seen our Demon Race charging at the front as the vanguard?"
"Not necessarily..." Peng San muttered.
"Not necessarily? I ask you, what is the deal with the frequent demon infestations in the various vassal states of Nanzhan Nanzhan Zhonghua in recent years?" The Demon Master sneered.
Peng San lowered his head and said, "It is true that some descendants of the old Demon Court officials have entered the human world, intending to exert the remaining glory of their predecessors and revitalize the magnificence of the Demon Court.
But they are very smart and won't let themselves fall into danger; they all recruit wild demons to charge and fight at the front."
"Yue Tanxi, even you have this kind of thinking; no wonder my Demon Race is declining."
The Demon Master sighed and added, "Forget it, if you want to toss and turn, go ahead.
I called you here just to have you spread the word and call back all the demons with Kunpeng bloodlines.
Before this human catastrophe ends, all of you are to stay honestly in Chen Beiming."
"Master Demon Master, only the demons with Kunpeng bloodlines?" Peng San frowned.
The Demon Master said faintly, "If I tell the other demons to retreat to Beiju Bai Lu Zhou, will you listen?
Since you haven't listened many times, I will only gather my own clan."
"Master Demon Master, we can retreat now, but in the future, we might even lose Beiju Bai Lu Zhou."
Peng San was a bit excited and shouted, "Just thirty thousand years ago, during the Martial King's campaign against Zhou, the North Sea completely belonged to us, and a large portion of the land in the north of Nanzhan Mount Buzhou belonged to our Demon Race.
A mere thirty thousand years, placed in the Heavenly Realm or a Blessed Land, is only eight hundred years.
The northern lands all belong to Great Qin; two hundred years ago, Great Qin's warships crossed the North Sea and entered Beiju Bai Lu Zhou.
In the last few decades, the Human Emperor Ying Zheng has become even more insane, daring to establish commanderies and counties in the south of Beiju Bai Lu Zhou, and even wantonly enfeoffing vassal kings and establishing the 'Sixteen Yan-Yun States'."
(ps: *Journey to the West* clearly states that the Jade Emperor experienced 1,750 kalpas, each lasting 129,600 years, totaling 226.8 million years.
Before the Jade Emperor, it was the Demon Court.
Assuming the Demon Emperor Di Jun of the Demon Court had a higher cultivation than the Jade Emperor (this is obvious).
The Kunpeng Demon Master used the time artifact, the Zhang Kunlun Mirror, to send a wisp of his Kunpeng essence blood and the "Grandmist Violet Qi" into the river of time while the Demon Emperor was still present, before the Demon Court collapsed and the Demon Race was still the protagonist of heaven and earth.
"400 million years" was estimated this way.
As for why the Demon Master did this, it will be explained later.
But Seeing Xiao Yu Yu experiencing the "Kunpeng Transformation" is the "Gao Tianming" planned in advance by the Demon Master.
After all, the Demon Master Kunpeng is the chess player, and Seeing Xiao Yu Yu at this time is still an ignorant chess piece.
Honestly, with this pre-planned Gao Tianming, before Seeing Xiao Yu Yu awakens, she couldn't die even if she wanted to.
Or rather, the people of Shu and the Daoist boy Daoist Qingsong do not have the ability to break the Gao Tianming established by the Demon Master.
Li Dan's evaluation of her—that she has a "tough life"—is the truth.
As for the future... the Demon Master will certainly do his utmost to push the Gao Tianming he formulated to be fully realized.
Yue Tanxi, he calculated everything, but missed one point—voluntarily becoming Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's father, this is really... The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine, and one escapes.)
