Chapter 865: Chapter 865
The secrets described by Uncle Li Mei also have a time limit.
It depicts the female fairy "Yin Xuanmu," stopping on the day she rebelled from the Doumu lineage.
But Grandma Taizhen knew the subsequent secrets:
"Yin Xuanmu attempted to use the Three Corpses Secret Method to steal, yes, steal rather than surprise attack, to steal part of the divinity of the Moon God in Guanghan Palace."
"As a result, she was discovered and suffered a severe backlash, losing most of her life, and is now on the brink of death."
"However, if one truly wants to say farewell to old people, shouldn't they go to Doumu Palace? Why come here instead?"
At this thought, Tao Qian remembered the large group of Devil Demons and Evil Gods, descendants, and clan members that came earlier to trouble his father and daughter, and a sense of ominous foreboding grew stronger in his heart.
The reason he hadn't acted yet was because he hadn't felt any hostility or malice, so he let Grandma Taizhen deal with it first.
Sure enough, as soon as Tao Qian's thought dropped.
He saw that cold female fairy with a cat's head and human body, glowing with a cool light all over, suddenly lift her hand, point at the little fox slave in Grandma Taizhen's arms, and say:
"I came here partly because I knew Sister Taizhen was here, wanting to catch up with you, and partly for this little guy."
Yin Xuanmu had only half-finished speaking and couldn't get out the rest of the reason.
Before her, Grandma Taizhen was already in a rage, even though Grandma occasionally had a naive girl's temperament, she is after all the master of a mountain, a legitimate heir of the Doumu lineage, and the holder of the Great Abyss treasure [Haotian Divine Mirror].
In her anger, she immediately exploded with Source Qi Mechanism that made the entire Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint tremble.
In a trance, Tao Qian's eyes seemed to reflect a giant white cat as large as a star, with red flames rising between its brows, its pair of strange, spiritual pupils looking down on all beings, exuding majesty.
Along with a misty green divine light leaping out, the previously put away Haotian Divine Mirror reappeared.
Three years ago, the Haotian Divine Light, which once killed the Ancestor Emperor's son's avatar with one hit, burst forth again.
"Yin Xuanmu, shameless old woman."
"How dare you? How dare you set your sights on my good granddaughter's granddaughter, huh? Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"If you dare to utter one more reckless word, I, Yang Taizhen, will today plead with Doumu for a blessing, first entering the Daoist Transformation Realm, and then let Lord Haotian unlock the first level seal, and slash you, the old wicked woman, on the spot..."
As Grandma Taizhen roared, the Haotian Divine Mirror was also releasing divine light.
The power was enough to shatter a star.
But as it reached not far, it was blocked by another treasure.
Yin Xuanmu showed a helpless expression, and simply sighed: "Sister Taizhen still has that explosive temper, as her elder sister, I even can't finish my words."
After speaking, she reached out to take down the Immortal Ring hanging behind her head.
After throwing it out, it grew with the wind, exactly transforming into a moon bursting with Taiyin Divine Radiance, blocking the Haotian Divine Light.
About this ring, the Records of Strange Compilations also notes: Taiyin Moon Essence Wheel, an Exotic Treasure of the Doumu Yuanjun lineage, immersing a dying Taiyin Star deep in the Great Abyss in Innate Yin Qi for nine thousand years, was forged at the moment when its Source Qi Spiritual Resonance was at its peak. It was personally bestowed to the proud disciple Yin Xuanmu by Doumu, being her attainment treasure.
With such a grand origin, it is not surprising that it could withstand the Haotian Divine Mirror.
As the two Exotic Treasures fell into a stalemate, Tao Qian's face also turned indifferent, ready to act.
Hearing Grandma's words, Tao Qian realized that this "mother-in-law" indeed lived up to being an old female fairy; seemingly in the Ultimate Happiness Realm, she was actually hiding many cards, truly when enraged she dared to say she would cut even in Daoist Transformation Realm.
Previously playing with the little fox slave, she probably hadn't even used half her true strength.
But Tao Qian dared not allow Grandma to proceed, without much thought, he could guess that Grandma breaking through on the spot would likely come at an enormous cost.
"The Doumu lineage seems to lay significant emphasis on the Daoist affinity of caution."
"Previously Doumu said that if Yin Xuanmu persisted in bitter cultivation for nine thousand years, she'd likely achieve the status of Tribulation Immortal. Yin Xuanmu didn't listen, greedy for success and perfection, thus about to die and disappear." Chapters fırst released on 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
"Grandma Taizhen's 'Dao Path,' Doumu clearly also has arrangements, if Grandma breaks through on the spot, she will probably face the same cost as Yin Xuanmu did in the future, it truly wouldn't be worth it."
"If this Yin Xuanmu had arrived in person, it would indeed be extremely troublesome, and we would definitely need to ask the Sect Master and Heavenly Venerate to take action."
"But if it's just a projection avatar, even if she brought an Exotic Treasure, what's there to fear?"
Before the thought was finished, Tao Qian had instantly teleported to Grandma Taizhen's side.
At the same time, his body began to expand, in the blink of an eye ready to rival heaven and earth.
It was evident that he was casting [Spirit Treasure Secret Technique of All Things Return to One], ready to transform into a God Demon's body with just a single word of disagreement.
At this sight, Yin Xuanmu sighed once more.
Then, this female fairy made a startling move:
She actually reached out and put away the Taiyin Moon Essence Wheel before her, letting the mighty Haotian Divine Light shoot over, blasting half her body into pieces and grinding them to nothingness.
Only leaving a pitch-black cat head, eerily suspended.
Tao Qian and Grandma Taizhen were both momentarily stunned by this.
Seizing this opportunity, that cat head hastily spoke:
"Sister Taizhen, don't be angry, I'll let you vent with half of my body, the mistake from back then, I'll speak with you later."
"Tao Master, don't rush to take action, I've already observed your extraordinary skills from the shadows earlier, you truly are a once-in-a-millennium True Monarch of the Daoist sect. It won't take many years, even against my true self, you'd probably still have the upper hand... Because of this, I hope the True Monarch gives me, a dying person, a chance. I didn't come to harm your dear one, but to entrust my legacy and seek a small blessing."
After Yin Xuanmu said this, Grandma Taizhen and Tao Qian simultaneously made a move, but not to end it completely.
But instead, to cast spells and seek a sense of response.
Before long, there was feedback.
It is unclear what the situation is with Grandma Taizhen, but Tao Qian's request for the Heavenly Venerate's spiritual response unusually received a reply. Although only a few words, they made Tao Qian willing to give Yin Xuanmu a chance to speak.
These four words, Grandma Taizhen also received.
Seeing the two did not fight again, Yin Xuanmu, with her solitary cat head, breathed a sigh of relief.
Without bothering to restore her human form, she simply explained her purpose:
"Let Tao Master know, what Sister Taizhen said earlier was not wrong. I, Yin Xuanmu, have indeed reached the state of oil exhausted, lamp dried, facing death and the dissolution of my Dao."
"I attempted to compete with the Moon God of Guanghan Palace on my Dao path, overestimating myself and lacking skill, my death is not unjust."
"If I, Yin Xuanmu, were alone, death would simply be death, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, not a bad end."
"However, over the years I have accumulated much from my experiences in the Source Sea, have a large clan under me known as the 'Taiyin Cat,' and have compiled my life's learnings into the Great Book 'Taiyin Lingsu Moon Mother Scripture'... all of which seeks a suitable successor to entrust."
"Of course, I have a small wish, hoping that if a trace of my True Soul could survive the tribulations by chance, my successor could come to help me in the second life."
"Tao Master's noble daughter, born from the union of Spirit Treasure Miao Qi and Innate Yin Qi, is a natural cultivation seed, quite in harmony with the Dao path I practice."
"I am willing to bestow all my years of savings, hoping the True Monarch permits."
Now the onlookers remaining were only the Spirit Treasure Ten Thousand Immortals, most had come to the Star Aperture Secret Realm, crowding in the passage.
At this moment, hearing Yin Xuanmu's detailed explanation, they were all amazed.
What kind of blessing is this?
Just upon being born, a Daoist Transformation Realm female fairy comes, offering all her savings as a gift?
Though Yin Xuanmu is about to die from Dao struggles and is a failure.
But one must consider who she contended with, the Moon God in Guanghan Palace, who is an Innate God Demon.
How profound was her life's accumulation?
However, it seems there's also a need to worry about the traps within?
For all cultivation matters, there are prices to pay!
This iron law also applies in the Great Abyss Origin Sea.
Yin Xuanmu, knowing this, did not wait for Tao Qian's response after speaking, directly turning to look at Grandma Taizhen again.
Unashamedly, she revealed her scars:
"I know Sister Taizhen and the other sisters in the Immortal Palace still hold resentment for my past actions."
"I cannot argue, a moment's folly, I made a mistake, the karma of today is deserved."
"My bloodline, talent, are all top-notch, but my temperament is truly lacking, which was the reason why Elder Doumu made me toil for nine thousand years, hoping to grind away my arrogance, but alas, I realized too late."
"After leaving the Immortal Palace, I was also beguiled by the Three Corpses Demon Lord, completely straying from the Dao path."
"My only solace, the Three Corpses Demon Lord intended to lead my Heart Soul to the Demon Realm to make me his Demon Consort, when I lacked the means to resist, Elder Doumu personally bestowed the 'Taiyin Moon Essence Wheel' to manifest, blocking the Demon Lord and awakening my Heart Soul."
"That day, I also pleaded with Elder to allow me to return to the Immortal Palace to apologize."
"Unfortunately, not forgiven, I could only wander outside until recently, struck down by a blow from the Moon God, my Dao Foundation destroyed, with not many days left to live."
Having said this, Yin Xuanmu made another astounding move.
In the golden and brilliant cat eyes, a terrifying scene in a distant secret realm was suddenly reflected:
That, unexpectedly, was a broken, desolate yin-based star.
Inside, there was an extremely dark cave, where crouched a figure even larger than Grandma Taizhen's true form, an entirely black cat slave.
The state was indescribably miserable.
At that moment, Tao Qian found it hard to describe or delineate.
If forced to say, it would be "a mass of cat-shaped flesh and blood about to completely rot and melt."
In just one sentence, it reveals the terrifying predicament of this Yin Xuanmu.
This, too, explains Yin Xuanmu's current actions.
"Yin Xuanmu chose my daughter as her final successor, entrusting her life's work, aside from wanting to create good karma, trying to seek a glimmer of hope for reincarnation to have someone aid her in the future."
"In fact, there was another hidden agenda."
"This female fairy was indeed very arrogant back then, hence repeatedly committed great mistakes."
"Before her death and Dao dissolution, she wished to return to the Doumu Lineage, but unfortunately did not receive forgiveness from Doumu Yuanjun, not allowed to return."
"She was also wise, knowing how to use a roundabout tactic, attempting to reconnect with Sister Taizhen through my daughter."
"This life unreachable, the next life there is a big possibility."
"The intention of the Heavenly Venerate might be, if there are benefits unreceived, they are not taken for nothing."
"Just don't know how Doumu Yuanjun old master thinks? To accept, or not to accept?"
ps: Naming them Tao Bao and Tao Baibai is excessive, Tao Yaoyao and Xian Chan are quite good.
