Chapter 195: 1 Change the Sky
Qingqiu, this mysterious and ancient land, is now shrouded in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Countless powerful beings from the demon world gathered here to celebrate the demon clan’s grand ceremony.
The venue for the ceremony was located at the central altar of Qingqiu, a circular platform built of huge ancient jade.
The jade emits a soft green light that spreads out like ripples, making the entire secret realm look like a dream.
The altar is surrounded by ninety-nine stone pillars carved with mysterious runes and demonic spirit patterns. The runes glow with golden light, contrasting with the green color of the jade.
In the sky, colorful auspicious clouds spread out like brocade, with colors changing from light to dark, from light pink and purple to deep blue and green, like a paint scroll overturned by the gods.
Strange birds flew across the colorful clouds; their cheerful calls intertwined with the faint sound of drums, playing a prelude to the ceremony.
Below the stage, demons from all over the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons gathered together.
There are giant bear monsters wearing heavy armor with ancient defensive runes engraved on them;
The graceful snake demon was dressed in colorful gauze, with charming light flashing in her eyes;
The agile cat demon moved flexibly among the demon group, its fur glowing with a strange luster, and it looked around curiously.
The monsters of all races were either standing or sitting, all keeping quiet, their eyes full of awe.
There are not many rules on the scene, and there are no strict restrictions on the coming and going of people, but every five hundred years, the leaders of the demon tribes from all over the place will come as scheduled, and invisibly, a set of etiquette has been formed that everyone silently abides by.
The male protagonist Mo Xuan, played by Yan Congsheng, was in a state of being demoted to the mortal world and was specially taken care of by his fiancé and brought back to the demon world.
She only had her memories left, and her divine powers had not yet recovered, but she had inherited all of the temperaments of the immortal emperor's son and the mortal prince. While her fiancé was out on business, she left Fenglinque.
Along the way, Mo Xuan discovered something very strange. All the monsters he met on the road were migrating in almost one direction.
He secretly used a set of small spirit-peek spells and obtained information from a rat demon.
Qingqiu was born!
The closure of the mountain for hundreds of years may be just a period of seclusion for the old monsters in the immortal clan who have lived for a long time.
But Mo Xuan was the newborn prince of the Immortal Clan, and he was only three hundred years old. Since he was born, he had never seen anyone from Qingqiu attending any of the Immortal Meetings.
Among the geniuses of their generation, there were no young talents from the fox clan to compete with them.
As soon as the news of Qingqiu's birth came out, both the immortals, demons and nearby monsters felt that a great event was coming.
Because the restrictions of the ceremony were relaxed, as long as they did not disrupt the order, it would be fine even if they were discovered. Many geniuses from the Three Realms disguised themselves as little demons to blend in, or they found friends from the demon clan to enter together.
Mo Xuan couldn't help but think of the time when she was an offensive fox fairy in the mortal world.
He had never seen a mortal kingdom worship a deity that was a demon, let alone a fox demon known for its cunningness!
Although he had no memory of the fairyland at that time, the arrogance engraved in his bones would not change easily. Mo Xuan felt uncomfortable at the time and was a little disapproving.
He was not stupid enough to say anything in front of the emperor. He just whispered a few words of dissatisfaction on the way out, and his half prince heard it.
Thus, the news of his disrespect for gods spread out, and that night his father came to the East Palace with the ugliest expression he had ever seen. He pointed at his nose and cursed him without caring about the emperor's demeanor.
The mother begged desperately and knelt on the ground several times.
After the incident, he was punished to copy scriptures in the Fox Fairy Temple for five months, and this is how he escaped the disaster.
Five months was enough time for him to memorize every detail of the jade statue.
At the same time, he also learned from the scriptures about the origin of the fox fairy and their dynasty.
A hundred years ago, Huang Taizu was a poor scholar during the Tianyi period. Later, relying on his talent, he passed the imperial examination and was appointed as a seventh-rank official. He served as a senior official in the county and wanted to realize his ambitions, but in fact, he was constrained everywhere.
While returning to Beijing to report on his work, Taizu was framed and his carriage rolled down a cliff. Before he closed his eyes, he occasionally saw a sky-blue fox passing by with a flower in its mouth.
In his dream, he saw a tall fox carrying him to a mountain spring and feeding him the magic herb in its mouth along with the sweet spiritual spring water.
After waking up, Taizu miraculously fell from a hundred-meter cliff and remained intact.
From that day on, Taizu firmly believed that he was the man of destiny chosen by God. He was already extremely talented, and after this battle, he soared to fame.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, who in the capital didn't know the story of Emperor Taizu's fox carrying a flower?
The fox became a symbol of good fortune in the dynasty. When Taizu was alive, many noble families wanted to present a blue fox to please the emperor, but they could not find one throughout the country.
After reading it, Mo Xuan sneered unabashedly in front of the jade statue.
What spirit fox? Could it be that Taizu was looking for an excuse to claim destiny in order to seize the throne?
Now that his memory has returned, Mo Xuan speculates that this legend might be true. The fox that Taizu saw back then was probably the youngest son of the Qingqiu Demon Emperor, the eighth-generation prince of the fox clan.
As everyone knows, Qingqiu was closed because of the emergence of such a genius.
There are also different talents among the monster race. Those who are innately powerful and possess ancient bloodlines are divine beasts, while those who are ordinary creatures through cultivation are monsters.
Among them, those who achieve enlightenment by extracting spiritual energy are called demon fairies, while those who plunder the essence and vitality of others are called monsters.
There is also a mysterious group among the monsters. They are born with talents that are close to the Tao in a certain field.
In the Three Realms, even the rampant demons dare not provoke them, they are auspicious beasts.
Only a very prosperous race will give birth to a auspicious beast. The auspicious beast is connected to the fortune of the race, and auspiciousness will appear when the race prospers.
If you rashly provoke the auspicious beast, you will suffer a terrible backlash of luck, which will affect the entire tribe, so almost no one will care about this kind of Buddhist creature.
For example, the nine-clawed golden dragon in the dragon clan, the blue phoenix that brings peace to the world when it is seen in the phoenix clan, the five-colored unicorn, the Pixiu that feeds on wealth and brings in fortune, and the Bai Ze that drives away evil spirits and knows everything in the world...
It is conceivable how powerful the bloodline of this fox prince, who is a combination of a divine beast and a auspicious beast, is. Even after a hundred years of seclusion, he still makes the geniuses of the three realms fear him.
However, even though this young man is not good at fighting, no one dares to offend him.
His mother is a rare auspicious beast with healing abilities. It is rumored that a thousand years ago, a beloved of the Immortal Lord Fallen Drinker was injured by the Demon Lord, and when she died, only a pile of bones and a remnant soul were left.
Duyin searched all over the three realms and finally arrived at Tushan. He knelt holding the corpse for three years before he finally begged Yaoli to come out of the mountain.
The legend of the rebirth of human flesh and bones made the three races of immortals, demons and monsters tacitly avoid the Qingqiu area when they fought.
Many people speculated that this young man might have inherited his mother's abilities and was a well-deserved fox fairy.
Thinking of this, the lustrous jade seemed to reappear before his eyes. He could not remember much about his life on earth for just a few decades. His mother who treated him so well was one, and the fox fairy was the second.
Mo Xuan knocked the rat demon unconscious, pulled out one of its hairs, and with a flash of his body, he disguised himself as an inconspicuous middle-aged man in a gray robe.
Following the migrating team eastward, there were more and more monsters along the way. His divine power was weak now, and he could not feel how many non-monsters were mixed in with them.
Squeezed in the tide of monsters, Mo Xuan frowned uncomfortably, but in order to take a look at the legendary fox fairy, he pinched his nose and chose to endure it.
As expected, they were all creatures that were born from eggs, covered with fur and horns, and their aura was very mottled.
"Dangdangdang——"
When the heavy bell rang, Mo Xuan only felt his chest shake, and his heartbeat gradually became in sync with the sound waves that were slowly spreading out. In order not to be forced to kneel down in embarrassment by the overwhelming pressure, he had no choice but to sit down on the cushion.
A dark mass of people tilted their heads, and all the fairies, whether they had ears on their heads or long horns, were in a posture of worship. Among them, the young man who was a few steps behind was obviously from a not so good background.
The scene was silent. Mo Xuan, who possessed immortal blood, could vaguely see the golden power of faith permeating the sky.
The void above the Lingyuan Pool in the core area of Qingqiu began to twist and rotate, forming a huge vortex of spiritual power.
In the vortex, bright green light shone brightly, and in the light, a majestic fox figure flashed by.
Mo Xuan's sharp eyes saw the flawless white fur, like the purest snowflakes, emitting a soft halo.
The vortex of spiritual energy became stronger and stronger, and the light became brighter and brighter.
A strong light suddenly flashed, and the light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire Qingqiu.
"Look!" A bird monster looked up at the sky in astonishment.
Above the clear sky, there was a faint reflection of a pair of eyes, accompanied by a crisp cry, as if some invisible force had awakened this sleeping ancient land.
At this time, the water in Lingyuan began to boil, splashing and turning into water curtains rushing towards the sky.
The water curtain formed a gorgeous rainbow light under the refraction of sunlight, and the sky bridge spanned the sky above Qingqiu.
The people of the fox tribe knelt on the ground, tears of excitement and awe in their eyes.
They knew that the young master would lead Qingqiu to a new glory. He was the hope of Qingqiu and a treasure bestowed by heaven to the fox clan.
In the center of the deep vortex, the spatial fluctuations of the secret realm spread along with the sound of the bell.
Suddenly, a pair of slender, white hands slowly stretched out from the dark depths of the vortex. The five fingers were slender and long, and each finger looked like a carefully carved jade.
Her fingertips gently pushed away the mist lingering in the vortex, revealing the fox fairy dressed in an extremely gorgeous blue-white robe, with intricate divine patterns embroidered on the robe with gold and silver threads.
Each line contains mysterious power, and the lines flow slowly and sparkle with his movements.
The raised corners of his eyes are hidden in an indifferent look, his eyebrows are like distant ink, slightly raised, and his narrow and long eyes are like deep pools, with a green light flowing in the bottom of his eyes.
The evergreen tassels under the imperial crown's tassels gradually fell with the wind. On both sides of the long steps leading to heaven, there were kneeling demon fairies as far as the eye could see.
The fox fairy walked past the crawling Mo Xuan with the Nine-tailed Bell of Linghui Huanyue in her hand, and the Evergreen Tassels entangled her with it. Mo Xuan's heart was beating uncontrollably, and she looked up without paying attention to Yueyue.
Unfortunately, he only had time to see the silhouette of the rosy skirt and moon-shaped bridal robe, but he could see the shape of the artifact clearly.
The Huanyue Bell is round in shape, with nine small and lively fox statues surrounding the edge of the disc. The foxes have different postures, some are neighing with their heads held high, some are resting on the ground, and some are looking back...
Each one is carved so lifelike that it seems as if it will come to life at the next moment.
With every step taken, the Fantasy Moon Bell would vibrate and echo with every step.
While climbing the ladder, the fox fairy reverently held up the sacred artifact slowly and just above his head. Amid the dumbfounded expressions of the little demons, at that moment, it was as if an invisible giant hand suddenly pulled down the curtain of the world.
The darkness was like a surging tide, sweeping in from all directions with overwhelming force.
The sky was quickly filled with darkness. The original azure color was replaced by the inky black night. The overpass that was clearly visible just now was also ruthlessly swallowed up by the darkness, and no trace of it could be found.
The Fantasy Moon Bell is made of Fantasy Moon Crystal, which appears transparent and colorless during the day and seems to be shrouded in mist inside. At night, it emits colorful light.
The runes on the bells will begin to flash violently as spiritual energy gathers. The fox fairy shakes the phantom moon, and the sounds from the main bell and the small bells combine to form a special frequency.
"Hey... I heard that the sound of the fox tribe's sacrificial instruments can penetrate the barrier between the real world and the spirit world, and have the effect of communicating with the upper world. I don't know if it's true or not..."
"Why do you worry so much? Only the high-ranking members of the demon clan can know these divinations. Even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with you."
Those who were talking were all newly born demons. They had never participated in a grand ceremony before and it was their first time seeing the power of a divine weapon. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
The closer the demon fairy is to the front row, the more serious his expression is.
Mo Xuan struggled to turn her gaze away from the fox fairy. She was indeed icy and had bones and skin as pure as jade. She was even colder than jade statues!
Mo Xuan originally thought that the rosy-faced flower demon at the Flower God's Temple was already stunningly beautiful enough.
He didn't expect the fox fairy to be even more beautiful. Even though he had seen countless beauties, it was hard for him not to keep his eyes on that clear figure.
He did not listen carefully to the whispers in the space, and all his attention was on the fox fairy.
It would be fine if it was the previous face, but Mo Xuan is now wearing the face of a rat demon.
Staring at him like that was as disgusting as it could be. The fairy nearby moved away in disgust to avoid getting into trouble.
This disrespectful rat is so shameless and rude!
Immortal cultivators silently recite each other's names, and those with strong spirits can sense it.
The Rat Demon King who was sitting above frowned, and suddenly turned his head to look at the area where there was some commotion.
At a glance, the furrows between his brows became even deeper.
He saw through Mo Xuan's disguise at a glance, but he didn't understand the background of this thing. It was neither a demon, fairy nor monster, with a complex aura, and it seemed that there were restrictions on its soul and body.
It's just that his strength is pitifully weak, and I guess he has some background.
However, as a demon fairy who had reached the level of a demon king, the Rat Demon King could not stand others disguising themselves as his people and bringing disgrace to the reputation of their rat clan.
He waved his sleeves, and Mo Xuan's feet fell into the air and he lost consciousness.
As he closed his eyes, the fox fairy, who had gathered the moonlight with the Fantasy Moon Bell, stroked the runes covered with silver light, glanced at Mo Xuan who was falling from the clouds, and his barely audible sigh disappeared in the wind.
The love calamity that swept across the three realms...is finally here.
