Chapter 144 Lunar Auspicious Silver
Chapter 144 Lunar Auspicious Silver
Fang Shui's identity was fabricated by Fang Qing at will, and he had no background or origin.
But if his identity as "Fang Qing" is discovered, he still has relatives. If there is some method in this world that can trace his lineage, it is possible to catch him red-handed!
Upon realizing this, Fang Qing couldn't help but feel a chill.
But to ensure their own safety, why exterminate the entire Fang family?
It seems impossible to make it.
Moreover, the sudden massacre of a large number of mortals is also a flaw and a huge cause and effect that can be easily deduced!
The supernatural powers and perceptions of the Purple Palace are truly wondrous and extraordinary.
"Therefore... maintaining the identity of 'Fang Shui' is still quite advantageous to me."
"Last time, I didn't reveal my identity or methods... but that's how I avoided a huge risk."
Upon realizing this, Fang Qing felt much more relaxed, as if he had passed through a tribulation.
"I won't go; you can go in my place. If you want to talk, you can just say it to yourself..."
Fang Qing said to Sangji.
"The Venerable One is indeed incredibly powerful!!"
Sangji almost prostrated himself in worship again.
Fang Qing was speechless, picked up the invitation and casually played with it: "Silverware? That's interesting..."
"The sun favors gold, and the moon prefers silver; this is quite common."
Sangji answered matter-of-factly: "If Your Excellency goes to the top of the Great Snow Mountain and sees the 'Great Sun Revolving Temple,' you will know what true splendor is, with gold bricks paving the ground and gold leaf covering the walls... There is also a cloud-piercing golden roof, which shines with golden light when the sun rises in the east... And in the Blue Bird tribe, they love silver ornaments."
"Oh?"
Fang Qing became interested. This Sangji was indeed a direct descendant of a legitimate Golden Core sect; his knowledge was a treasure trove.
He immediately decided that he could talk to Daoshengzhu more during the trip.
Sangji then announced his departure from seclusion and walked out of the seclusion room with Fang Qing to summon the other four Mingzi.
Sangji's cold and fierce gaze swept around, and he said in a rough voice, "This time I am going to the Northern Bluebird Tribe to attend the ceremony. Miaofeng and Qingjing will accompany me, while Miaoshui and Miaoshan will stay behind... Fangshui has other plans."
"yes!"
Miao Fengmingzi was overjoyed and raised her voice several decibels in agreement. After looking up, she gave Fang Qing a provocative glance.
"This person... does he think that Sangji not taking me is a sign that I've fallen out of favor?"
Fang Qing was speechless, too lazy to argue with this slave's slave.
Xiao Huanhai, Taibai Island.
Since they had decided to attend the ceremony, they couldn't just wait until the appointed time to set off; Sangji didn't have that much influence, so they had to go at least several months in advance. Fang Qing casually made up an excuse to leave the temple and then came to hide in Xiao Huanhai.
For a peak-level demon in the Purple Mansion realm to obtain the Golden Proof is such a momentous event, who knows how many twists and turns and schemes lie behind it? It would be safer for him to cultivate on Taibai Island for a few more years first.
"Sanchi, can you hear me?"
He sat cross-legged in his cave on Taibai Island, using the Dao Sheng Pearl to transmit messages.
"Great Power, Venerable One!"
Inside the Wusheng Temple, Sangji prostrated himself again, responding devoutly in his heart.
"Could our conversation be detected by supernatural powers?"
Fang Qing asked the most crucial question.
"No..." Sangji immediately replied, "The Venerable One's thoughts did not originate from the spiritual platform, but rather from the golden mouth of the one and only secret deity deep within my heart. It is a path far superior to 'silent meditation' and 'silent meditation'... Even if faced with the supernatural power of the Purple Palace to hear people's hearts, it would definitely not be heard... Moreover, those Purple Palaces know that we, the direct disciples of the secret path, worship the one and only secret deity, and are filled with great fear in our hearts, so they would not dare to eavesdrop on us at all..." "So I was just ignorant and fearless back then?"
"If it weren't for the Dao-born Pearl as a trump card, things would have been really bad..."
Fang Qing remained silent.
However, just to be on the safe side, let Sangji wander around a few purple palaces first before going to see the Dharma King.
Furthermore, one should try to speak as little as possible.
Several months later.
Sangji took Miaofeng and Qingjing with him and headed north.
The wars of ancient Shu seemed to have nothing to do with them. They traveled peacefully all the way to the royal tent of the Qingniao tribe.
The eight tribes of the demon race have a nomadic tradition, and the royal tent moved with the army. At this time, they had already moved south and arrived at a land with abundant water and grass.
Outside the scattered tents, enormous monsters sat or lay.
Most of the demons barely retained human form; the men were alright, but the women were mostly covered in silver ornaments.
Silver horns, silver crowns, silver hairpins, silver combs, silver earrings, silver pins, silver handkerchiefs, silver necklaces, silver collar ornaments, silver bracelets, silver rings... all piled together, shimmering with a cool, clear light.
"Master, what bloodline does this great demon, who is about to attain the Gold Saint realm, possess?"
Miao Fengmingzi asked a question; his purpose in being so attentive all the way was obvious.
Sangji initially intended to reprimand him, but a sudden thought struck him, realizing that the Venerable One also wanted to hear it, so he immediately spoke: "If you wish to prove [Bi Yue], then you must be a descendant of the Silver Crow..."
He further explained, "'The Phoenix Nurtures Five Chicks' refers to the Azure Luan, the Swan, the Hidden Eagle, the Roc, and the Silver Crow... The bloodlines of the eight tribes of the demon race are mixed, but these five noble bloodlines are the most awakened... Among them, the Silver Crow clan's constitution leans towards Taiyin, making them suitable for cultivating [Bi Yue 1...]."
Miao Feng flattered, "Master, you have such profound knowledge..."
Overjoyed, he thought, "My master still loves me after all. Before, when would he have explained things so kindly and in such detail?"
Sangji felt a surge of emotion and continued, "The phoenix is the master of [Winged Fire], which occupies the proper position of the virtue of fire, governing the balance of water and fire, and the wind's assistance in the fire's flames... Of its five offspring, the swan and the eagle occupy the water position, the roc the wind position, the blue luan the fire position, and the silver crow the moon position. Therefore, the Sanskrit scriptures also say, 'The blue luan obtains its purity, and the silver crow obtains its impurity!'"
On Taibai Island, in his cave, Fang Qing listened to the explanation, his expression puzzled: "A phoenix raises five chicks, and there's this kind of follow-up? But the birth of a silver crow residing in the moon phase seems a bit like the phoenix disliking the demonic nature within itself, giving birth to expel the pollution?"
"Garuda? Could it be the 'Garuda Myō-ō' of the Dainippon Wheel Temple?"
At this moment, Qingjing Mingfei noticed that her master was quite interested in talking and asked, "What is the meaning of the Wind Position? In this world, is there perhaps also a Golden Position?" Sangji smiled and said, "Look at the world, there is wind and thunder... naturally there are corresponding positions. If they are not manifest, it is either because they have not been proven by great beings, or because they have already been divided up by the various paths..."
Fang Qing, however, suddenly understood and gained a deeper understanding of his own lineage.
"【Ji Shui】has a good wind...【Yi Huo】also has wind. It's unknown whether the Dao Fruits related to thunder have been devoured, but the Dao Fruits related to wind have most likely been devoured, and the masterminds behind it are the Water Virtue and Fire Virtue True Lords!"
"It seems that there are indeed lineages even more worthless than the Water Virtue lineage, but they have simply disappeared..."
Just then, Fang Qing's heart stirred, and he quickly looked at the Dao Sheng Pearl.
"Haha... You little monk, you've analyzed the Luofeng Mountain inheritance so clearly in just a few words. You're truly remarkable and have the potential to reach the Purple Mansion realm... Miaofeng and Qingjing saw the void darken, and a person emerged from it as if ripples were spreading. He looked like a young man, but behind him was a circle of supernatural light, making him seem extraordinary. Several disciples followed behind him."
"So it's Master Chen of Moyun Cliff! This humble monk pays his respects to the Master!"
Sangji quickly bowed and thought to himself, "This Sen Chen is a Grand Master in the late Purple Mansion stage, and it is said that he is skilled in divination..."
He thought this to himself, and seeing that Master Sichen showed no abnormality, he couldn't help but admire the Venerable's great power even more.
"No need for formalities. Since you are destined for the Purple Mansion, you will be on the table sooner or later... There's no need for so much politeness between us."
Master Sichen was very polite, which made the disciples behind him look at each other in bewilderment.
"Not at all, not at all. As long as I am not the Dharma King, I will always be a junior. I should show respect to all of you seniors!"
Sangji shook his head repeatedly, thinking to himself, "Venerable One, I have heard that Senchen is very concerned about saving face and is mean to Zhenen... His words cannot be trusted at all."
"What does 'serve on the table' mean?" Fang Qing asked again.
"In this world, the foundation of cultivation and the practice of Qi cultivation are merely minor. Once one ascends to the level of a Dharma King, everything will be different. Dharma Kings of the Purple Mansion will not easily engage in life-or-death battles, but will only use each other as chess pieces... Since it is just a game of chess, the players will naturally be more polite to each other when they meet."
Sangji explained it according to his own understanding, leaving Fang Qing with a vague sense of comprehension.
However, they openly humiliated him as if no one else was around, and Master Senchen didn't even notice, clearly because he really couldn't hear them.
Otherwise, how could someone with supernatural powers tolerate being humiliated by a lower-level cultivator?
"Ha ha……"
Master Guichen laughed heartily, clearly pleased with Sangji's flattery: "You monk are quite insightful... I originally thought that after you fulfilled your destiny, you would be eager to go into seclusion to try to break through, but I didn't expect you to be able to endure until now, avoiding the spiritual shock brought by the [Bi Yue] gold-certifying power regardless of success or failure, remaining calm and composed, not bad, not bad..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qing suddenly realized something.
Why did the Wuxiang Temple stop urging Sangji to observe the great demon's proof of gold last time? It turns out there was another reason behind it!
"The Purple Mansion breakthrough has caused strange phenomena to spread throughout the county..."
"When a great demon attains the Golden Realm, it involves a profound interaction with heaven and earth... The spiritual atmosphere of the entire world will be impacted. If this happens at a crucial moment of breakthrough, it will indeed be very troublesome..."
Sangji used this excuse to delay, so naturally no one would force him; otherwise, they would be suspected of framing him to die.
The two groups entered the royal court together, with Sen Chen leading the way and Sang Ji following closely behind.
A flash of silver light revealed two female cultivators adorned entirely in silver. They respectfully said, "Welcome, esteemed cultivator! My family has prepared a fine cave dwelling for you..." "You may leave now," one of them said. "I'm going to catch up with some old friends..."
With a flick of his sleeve, Si Chen vanished into the void.
Sangji obediently followed the female demon cultivator to a cave.
The cave dwelling was simple, just a large tent, but it was filled with spiritual energy, and sandalwood incense was burning.
"Master, please rest first, I'll go find some offerings..."
Miao Feng couldn't bear it any longer and was about to go out when a black-robed monk barged in, his eyes wide with anger, like a wrathful Vajra: "Sangji... why haven't you attained enlightenment yet? It seems your White Bone Path is no good. You'd better get back to the temple and let my 'Black Heaven Path' come..." "Who is this person?"
Fang Qing asked in confusion.
"Venerable Qilin, this person is named Tashi, and he comes from the 'Mahakala Temple,' the source of all dharmas, which enshrines 'Mahakala'..."
Sangji thought to himself, but a smile appeared on his face: "Tashi, my attainment of the Dharma King status before you is a result of my superior destiny and blessings. This is recognized by all the Dharma Kings. Do you dare to disagree?"
