Chapter 158: A Few Things About Red Boy and Taishang Laojun (Part 2)

Upon hearing the Earth Deity say this, everyone immediately understood.

The Jie Sect and Sea of Blood fortune on this Red Boy should come from the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan.

But neither the Bull Demon King nor Princess Iron Fan knew Samadhi True Fire. How did this Red Boy know it? And that aura of Six-Ding Divine Fire—this was truly curious.

"Earth Deity, do you know why this Red Boy knows Samadhi True Fire?" Ao Mo'ang suddenly asked.

Actually, he didn't hold much hope. After all, this was just a local Earth Deity, and the things he knew should be very limited. But what they never expected was that this Earth Deity actually really knew.

"Speaking of this Samadhi True Fire, this old one really does know a little bit." The Earth Deity said with a smile.

"Tell us, tell us!" Sun Wukong asked quickly.

"This Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire comes from the Flaming Mountain."

"Flaming Mountain? What kind of place is that?" Everyone was confused, because they had truly never heard of a place called Flaming Mountain.

"Flaming Mountain is a newly risen place name, existing for less than two hundred years. It is reasonable that the Immortals don't know about it." The Earth Deity smiled.

"Earth Deity, give us a proper introduction to this Flaming Mountain and the connection between this Flaming Mountain and Red Boy." Ao Mo'ang looked at the Earth Deity and said.

"This Flaming Mountain is rumored to have been formed because of Taishang Laojun—that is, the avatar of the Taiqing Saint. Years ago, for some unknown reason, the Taiqing Saint threw a fire brick from under his alchemy furnace to the current Flaming Mountain, which is how the current Flaming Mountain came to be.

Flaming Mountain is precisely Princess Iron Fan's dojo. When that place turned into Flaming Mountain, Princess Iron Fan happened to be pregnant, and then Red Boy obtained the divine ability of Samadhi True Fire." The Earth Deity explained to the crowd.

In Flaming Mountain, the water mirror in front of Pan Huang was playing the scene of Yang Jian and the others questioning the Earth Deity.

"This Earth Deity knows quite a lot!" Watching the Earth Deity talk eloquently, Pan Huang said with a smile.

In reality, among the five great continents, except for the Central Imperial Continent, the Earth Deities of the other four great continents had their own information network. Their information was the most well-informed in the Primordial World, so it was not strange to know such things.

"This Taiqing's reach is quite long. First reaching the human race, and now reaching the Sea of Blood and the Jie Sect. He is worthy of being the Taiqing Saint." Pan Huang said with a smile.

When Pan Huang spoke the name of the Taiqing Saint, Laozi in Chaos sensed it instantly. His expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"Previously, you ruined this monk's major affairs, and this monk did not pursue it with you. If you ruin this monk's major affairs again this time, then this monk will have to act against your Holy Court and the Ren Sect." Laozi said coldly.

In reality, Pan Huang had no intention of acting to ruin Laozi's major affairs. Previously, it was because it involved the human race, so he acted, but this time it had nothing to do with the human race, so he wouldn't be so idle.

Although he wouldn't act, he still had to eat the melon. In his past life, Pan Huang had seen people on the internet say that Red Boy was very likely Taishang Laojun's son. In this life, he already knew the relationship between the Yalong Great Immortal and Taishang Laojun, so regarding Red Boy here, of course, he had to eat the melon!

"Tell Minghe when the time comes. Otherwise, the Sea of Blood might be encroached upon by Taishang Laojun." Looking at the eloquent Earth Deity, Pan Huang rubbed his chin and said.

On the side of Dry Pine Stream, Yang Jian and the others had already learned enough about Red Boy's affairs, and it was time to leave.

Initially, their idea was to see if they could get some useful information from Red Boy's own mouth. They didn't expect to encounter such a capable Earth Deity who told them everything they wanted to know.

"That's roughly how it is. This Red Boy is the child of the Jie Sect's Kui Ox and the Sea of Blood's Asura. As for that Samadhi True Fire, this can continue to be dug deeper." After returning to the camp, Yang Jian and the others told Xuanzang and the others what they had found out.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzang and the others widened their eyes. They didn't expect this little child's background to be so big!

"What do you plan to do next?" Xuanzang asked.

"Next, of course, is to find out the relationship between Red Boy and Taishang Laojun. I always feel that this matter is not simple. This matter now involves the Sea of Blood, and the Sea of Blood is an ally of our Ren Sect. We cannot ignore it." Yang Jian looked at Xuanzang and said.

"Okay then, we will wait for you ahead." After thinking for a moment, Xuanzang said.

"Okay!" Dapeng and the others thought for a moment and nodded.

"Not bad, knowing how to take care of allies. In this case, I don't need to say anything more. With their abilities, they should be able to find out something, right?" In front of the water mirror, Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Husband, do you think it's possible that this Red Boy is Taishang Laojun's child?" Xihe suddenly asked.

"Hard to say! But this possibility cannot be ruled out." Pan Huang thought seriously for a moment and said.

"I think it's very possible that Red Boy is Taishang Laojun's child." Xihe said.

"Why?" Changxi asked.

"This Bull Demon King is the mount of Tongtian Jiaozhu, the patriarch of the Kui Ox clan, and also the first Kui Ox in the world. This bloodline power shouldn't be low, right?" Changxi said.

"Indeed." Pan Huang and Xihe nodded.

"Let's talk about Princess Iron Fan. She is just a postnatal creature in the Sea of Blood. Although the Sea of Blood was purified by Ancestor Minghe, it should still not be comparable to the Kui Ox bloodline, right? Since that's the case, this Red Boy's appearance is somewhat inexplicable." Changxi looked at Pan Huang and Xihe seriously.

Pan Huang looked at Changxi with surprise. He didn't expect that Changxi, who usually looked silly, would have such a brain. It was truly rare.

"Right? If Red Boy were the Bull Demon King's child, he should at least have the characteristics of the Kui Ox clan, right? Bull horns? Or a thunder-attribute talent? But there are none. Although Samadhi True Fire is strong, it shouldn't be stronger than the Kui Ox clan's thunder-attribute talent, right?" Changxi was still analyzing.

"Indeed, looking at it this way, this Red Boy really might not be the Bull Demon King's child. In human terms, this Bull Demon King has been cuckolded!" Upon hearing Changxi's analysis, Xihe covered her mouth in surprise.

"Husband, do you think this Bull Demon King knows about this?" Xihe suddenly said.

"Why do you say that?"

"I know, because we have been in Flaming Mountain for so long, and we haven't seen the Bull Demon King. This Cuiyun Mountain is not far from Flaming Mountain, and we often see the small demons of Cuiyun Mountain. They say the Bull Demon King hasn't returned to Cuiyun Mountain for a long time." Changxi said with a smile.

"You two!" Pan Huang was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Let's watch first. We don't really know the specific situation. Let's see how Yang Jian and the others investigate." Pan Huang lay on the chair and said.

It must be said, the small temperature of this Flaming Mountain is really suitable for sunbathing. It is very comfortable.

On Xuanzang's side, after Xuanzang and the others left, Yang Jian, Dapeng, and Sun Wukong began to investigate. Ao Mo'ang was not with them; after all, Ao Mo'ang was not a member of the Ren Sect.

However, after Yang Jian and the others investigated, they found that they simply couldn't find anything in Dry Pine Stream. To investigate further, they had to go to Flaming Mountain and Cuiyun Mountain.

"Forget it, let's just honestly follow the main force. It's not like we're short of this bit of time. Once we reach Flaming Mountain, everything will be clear." Dapeng thought for a moment and said.

"Do we need to tell Ancestor Minghe about this?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Let's say something. Although this is just our guess, what if something really happens? It's better to say something so that Ancestor Minghe has a bottom line in his heart." Yang Jian thought for a moment and said.

After speaking, Yang Jian summoned the Howling Celestial Dog, which he hadn't summoned for a long time.

After the Howling Celestial Dog was summoned, it excitedly circled around Yang Jian. It hadn't seen its master for a very, very long time, so it was particularly excited now.

"Howling Celestial Dog, you go to the Sea of Blood to deliver a message." After playing with the Howling Celestial Dog for a while, Yang Jian touched its head and said.

"Yes, Master!" The Howling Celestial Dog nodded.

"Go." Patting the Howling Celestial Dog's head, Yang Jian said with a smile.

After receiving Yang Jian's order, the Howling Celestial Dog disappeared from their sight in a few breaths.

"Let's go." After the Howling Celestial Dog left, Yang Jian said to Dapeng and Sun Wukong.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

Soon, they caught up with Xuanzang and the others. Seeing Yang Jian and the others catch up, everyone quickly gathered around.

"How is it?" Princess Long Ji asked.

"To understand Red Boy's affairs, we have to go to Flaming Mountain and Cuiyun Mountain, and these two places happen to be on our scripture-seeking journey, so we are prepared to walk with everyone. Once we reach Flaming Mountain, we will go and investigate again." Dapeng looked at the crowd and said.

"That's fine, we are not in a hurry, we have plenty of time." After thinking for a moment, Xuanzang said.

"Not bad, not bad." Pan Huang nodded. He was very satisfied with the actions of Yang Jian and the others, especially the point of reporting to Minghe.

"Let's go, let's go to the Sea of Blood. There probably won't be anything happening here for a while. It will take quite some time for Xuanzang and the others to get here. Let's go to the Sea of Blood to sit for a while, and then go to the Women's Kingdom to take a look." Pan Huang stood up at this moment and said.

"Women's Kingdom?" The Changxi sisters were somewhat puzzled.

"You'll know when the time comes. This Women's Kingdom is a good place." Pan Huang smiled.

After speaking, they disappeared from Flaming Mountain. When they appeared again, they had already arrived at the edge of the Sea of Blood.

When Pan Huang and the three appeared at the edge of the Sea of Blood, Minghe perceived it immediately. He quickly stood up and came to the edge of the Sea of Blood.

"I have seen Fellow Daoist Pan Huang." Seeing Pan Huang, Minghe bowed and said.

"Let's not have so many formalities between us." Seeing Minghe like this, Pan Huang waved his hand.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist has come to my Sea of Blood today? I know that you generally wouldn't come if there's nothing to do!" Minghe said with a smile.

Minghe knew Pan Huang's personality, which was why he dared to make such a joke with Pan Huang.

"There really is nothing to do today, just wanted to come and see you. It's been a long time since I've been to this Sea of Blood, and I actually missed it." Pan Huang said with a smile.

Upon hearing Pan Huang's words, Minghe rolled his eyes. Only he could say such things; others avoided the Sea of Blood like the plague.

"Then Fellow Daoist, please. It just so happens that a new batch of Blood River Brew can be drunk in these two days. Let's have a taste then." Minghe looked at Pan Huang and said.

"No problem. In this regard, if I say I'm second in the entire Primordial World, no one dares to say they are first." Pan Huang waved his hand and said.

Just as Pan Huang and the others had drunk two cups of wine, the Howling Celestial Dog arrived at the Sea of Blood.

"Ancestor, the Howling Celestial Dog is outside asking to see you." The Blood Guard guarding the Sea of Blood walked in.

"Howling Celestial Dog? Why did it come?" Minghe asked with confusion, and then he looked at Pan Huang, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Cough, cough, cough, why is Fellow Daoist Minghe looking at me like that?" Pan Huang looked at Minghe and said awkwardly.

"This monk was right after all. Fellow Daoist really doesn't visit a temple without a cause!" Minghe said with a smile.

"Let the Howling Celestial Dog in." Minghe said with a smile.

Soon, the Howling Celestial Dog walked in: "Howling Celestial Dog has seen the Ancestor, has seen the Saint Master."

Upon seeing Pan Huang and Minghe, the Howling Celestial Dog was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed.

"Why aren't you staying by your master's side, and instead running to my Sea of Blood?" Minghe said with a smile.

"Ancestor, my master asked me to deliver a letter to you." As the Howling Celestial Dog said this, it took a jade slip from its bosom.

Minghe took the jade slip and only looked at it for two glances before his expression instantly turned gloomy.

"You go back and tell your master that this monk knows." Minghe said to the Howling Celestial Dog.

"This little one takes his leave!" The Howling Celestial Dog bowed to Pan Huang and Minghe.

"Fellow Daoist, you should know the content of the letter sent by the Howling Celestial Dog, right?" After the Howling Celestial Dog left, Minghe looked at Pan Huang.

"Hmm!" Pan Huang nodded.

"Is this true?" Minghe asked. Although he was asking, his eyes revealed a very certain expression.

"This is hard to say." Pan Huang shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Minghe, Xihe and I analyzed it before. Do you want to hear it?" At this moment, Xihe suddenly said.

"Tell me." Minghe nodded.

Subsequently, Xihe and Changxi told the process of their analysis in Flaming Mountain. Upon hearing their analysis, Minghe's expression turned gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Fellow Daoist came to my Minghe today, probably also for this matter, right?" Minghe looked at Pan Huang.

"There is this reason. You are taking the path of accumulating and then breaking out. With the merit and fortune accumulated by the Sea of Blood now, I dare not say much, but in about a thousand years, Fellow Daoist should be able to become a Saint. If you are intercepted at this time, Fellow Daoist probably won't have any hope again." Pan Huang looked at Minghe and said word by word.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!" Upon hearing Pan Huang say this, Minghe was very moved, because Pan Huang truly regarded him as a friend.

"What do you plan to do next?" Pan Huang looked at Minghe and asked.

"Wait until Xuanzang and the others reach Flaming Mountain before deciding. Fellow Daoist should have the same idea, right? Otherwise, Fellow Daoist wouldn't have come." Minghe looked at Pan Huang, and the expression on his face softened slightly.

Pan Huang came to the Sea of Blood, probably to persuade Minghe. If he didn't come, Minghe would have definitely asked someone to call Rakshasa Girl back after receiving the Howling Celestial Dog's letter, or sent someone to ask Rakshasa Girl, which would likely have alerted Taishang Laojun.

No one knew what trump cards Taishang Laojun had. After all, Red Boy had already been born. If Taishang Laojun were alerted, he would definitely use Red Boy to plot the fortune of the Sea of Blood. By then, everything would be too late, and Minghe's planning for so many years would be making a wedding dress for others.
