Chapter 915 Azure Wave Dragon Lord, Heavenly Evil Ancestor
"The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord has nine heads and four wings, three legs and ornate feathers, and its blood contains poison; it has nine lives but cannot die."

"If it were a simple one-on-one capture and killing, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord would have to put in a lot of hard work to kill it."

"For example, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord once tried to kill it by surprise with his supernatural powers, but unfortunately he failed. Since then, the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord has not been so easy to kill."

"Unfortunately"

Inside the Xuanqing Palace of Xiaopenglai, Jiang Sheng clicked his tongue as he looked at the message sent from the Nine Provinces Realm.

Sitting to the side, Tian Ming'an continued, "It's a pity that the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord ultimately perished at the hands of Fairy Suqin."

Jiang Sheng smiled and pushed the message in front of Tian Ming'an: "This is what I wanted to say."

"Heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river."

"Even the most outstanding individuals, one in a billion, are ignorant of the ordinary and think they can dominate the world with just a few moves. This is tantamount to inviting humiliation."

"Now, let's talk about the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord. He and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord are entangled in karma and are destined enemies. The victor ascends to heaven, and the loser is reincarnated."

"But who could have predicted that the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord would ultimately not be defeated by his destined enemy, but by the Fairy Suqin, who was completely unrelated to him?"

"Who would have thought that Fairy Suqin, who had never even seen the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, could so easily take his life with her Heavenly Qin Zhaoyin Bow?"

"Ming'an, you must remember this well: be careful in everything you do when you're out and about. Don't assume that everyone except those who have a grudge against you is a good person. Just like Jiufeng, who would have thought that Suqin Fairy, who was a complete stranger to the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, would make a move against you?"

Tian Ming'an nodded and said solemnly, "Master is absolutely right."

"In this world, there are countless people entangled in cause and effect. If you are not fully prepared for your own karma and the feelings of others, you will indeed face many dangers."

However, Jiang Sheng shook his head: "Wrong again."

"There is no such thing as perfect preparation in the world. Even the Pure Yang Dao Lord cannot be perfect."

"Although I don't like gambling, I dare to take action if I'm 70% sure of success."

"In this world, even with supernatural powers and magical treasures, one's chances of winning are only 70%; the remaining 30% depends half on opportunity and half on luck."

"If you truly want to be fully prepared, how can you seize your own opportunities if you are always hesitant and timid in the face of adversity?"

"Whether it's opportunity or luck, it's not that the more prepared you are, the better. If you don't have the courage to compete, even with the greatest opportunity and luck, you will hardly succeed."

"On the contrary, if you dare to compete, opportunities and good fortune will come to you."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's admonition, Tian Ming'an had some understanding: "Master, you used to tell us to be careful and cautious in everything we do, and to be fully prepared for everything we do."

"But this time, you've given us the courage to compete. Could it be that our opportunity has finally arrived?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Go and prepare well."

Tian Ming'an was thrilled and left to carry out the order.

After Tian Ming'an left, before Jiang Sheng could even rest, Kui Yue excitedly ran over: "Brother Lingyuan, I heard that the Nine-Headed Insect has perished?"

Seeing Jiang Sheng nod, Kui Yue couldn't help but laugh and say, "Good thing, good thing! With the Nine-Headed Insect dead, the myriad realms will be one less treacherous villain, and we can have some peace of mind in the future."

Seeing the overjoyed Kuiyue, Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Kuiyue, have you ever heard of the waxing and waning of Yin and Yang, and the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon?"

Kuiyue nodded.

Jiang Sheng continued, "In this chaos, yin and yang can never dominate; only when yin and yang are in balance can all realms be stable."

"The chaotic universe is like this, and so are all the myriad worlds."

"In all realms, there is no perfect Yang, nor is there perfect Yin. When Yang grows in a realm, Yin will naturally hide and accumulate strength to wait for its opportunity; similarly, when Yin grows in a realm, Yang will naturally accumulate strength to suppress Yin."

"This is why if the righteous path is too dominant in a region, the demonic path will surely produce a chosen one, and if the demonic path is rampant, the righteous path will surely have a savior."

"Between heaven and earth, among all things, there is never a complete dominance of yin and yang."

"Throughout the myriad realms, there are 365 major paths, countless causes and conditions, and all kinds of temperaments. Humans, gods, ghosts, and demons are all indispensable. The Nine Phoenixes are also an indispensable part of this chain."

"Now that the Nine Phoenixes are gone, another being that resembles or is similar to the Nine Phoenixes will surely be born."

Kuiyue thought for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "It seems I was too happy too soon."

Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Yes and no. To nurture a being that is the same as or surpasses the Nine Phoenixes, it would take at least a thousand years. After a thousand years, we will no longer be the ones to deal with the new Nine Phoenixes."

"In other words, a thousand years from now, our cultivation level will be so high that we won't care about the Nine Phoenixes anymore."

There are countless ways to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang; one can act in accordance with the trend or make plans in advance.

"If Fellow Daoist Kuiyue does not wish to encounter another person similar to Jiufeng, perhaps you could find the next Jiufeng, imprison him before he grows up, and lock away his future. That would be a viable method."

Kui Yue pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Sheng: "Can this method completely lock it down?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "It just makes it take longer to accumulate momentum and grow more slowly, just like putting a lid on a volcano. The volcano can't break through this lid for a while, but one day, the volcano will break through the lid, and at that time, the power of the volcano will be enough to destroy the world."

Kui Yue understood: "So that's how it is. I was wondering why a group of unheard-of geniuses would inexplicably emerge in the myriad realms every few years. This is the reason."

However, Kuiyue asked curiously, "Over the years, countless forces in the myriad realms have been suddenly destroyed or disappeared without a trace. All of them were heroes who rose from humble beginnings and overturned their respective worlds."

"These forces have been operating for so long, don't they understand the underlying principles?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head and said softly, "It's not that they don't understand the principle that it's better to guide than to block, but they are too focused on immediate gains and unwilling to consider the future."

"If one is obsessed with short-term gains and greedy, even if one can devour the sky, one will eventually be overwhelmed and die."

"In the end, people should act within their capabilities."

Do what you can.

Kuiyue pondered Jiang Sheng's words repeatedly, feeling that Jiang Sheng was implying something: "Brother Lingyuan, is there something you want to say to me, but you're too embarrassed to tell me directly?"

Jiang Sheng paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You're overthinking it. If there's anything I need to remind you of, I'll just say it directly."

Whether you listen or not, I've done my best, and there's no cause or effect involved. How much of what I'm trying to say in a roundabout way could you possibly understand anyway?

Kui Yue wanted to retort, but after opening his mouth, he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he left with his head down.

Watching Kui Yue's departing figure, Jiang Sheng smiled and shook his head. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he closed the door of Xuanqing Palace and turned to walk into the inner hall.

"The Crested Ibis Demon Lord has won, and the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord has lost. Among the feathered demons, there will be another being at the Integration Realm."

The Great Wilderness Realm.

Biboze.

Bibo Marsh holds an extraordinary position in the Great Wilderness Realm. It is not only the training ground for dragons but also the territory of phoenixes.

The Azure Wave Marsh, where dragons and phoenixes each occupy half, is a rare sight in all the myriad realms.

After all, who in the heavens doesn't know that dragons and phoenixes are incompatible? Yet, in the Great Wilderness Realm, the ancestral home of the demon race, there is a place where dragons and phoenixes coexist, which is quite novel. The Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord was born in the Azure Wave Marsh. Although his body is mostly symbolized by phoenix feathers, he does indeed have dragon blood in his veins.

Without true dragons and phoenixes, it would be difficult to give birth to a unique innate deity like the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord.

The master of Biboze is a true dragon, a Mahayana Dragon Lord.

In the Dragon Palace of the Azure Wave Marsh, a figure hurriedly entered the main hall, ignoring the magnificent and rare crystal pillars and colorful coral forest on both sides of the hall, and knelt down and slid all the way to the feet of the Dragon King sitting on the throne.

A figure prostrated on the ground: "Dragon Lord"

The Azure Dragon Lord said calmly, "I know that my son is not very promising."

“He inherited his mother’s appearance, but the blood in his veins is mine. He just doesn’t have my composure and has only learned his mother’s impetuosity.”

The Azure Dragon Lord's voice was devoid of emotion; it was calm and deliberate, each word spoken slowly and deliberately, as if he were narrating something unrelated to himself.

The figure lowered its head, not daring to speak, and listened quietly to the Dragon Lord's narration.

"To be honest, I've always felt ashamed to have such a good-for-nothing son."

“A thousand years ago, I don’t know where he got the audacity to provoke the women of the Southern Fire God Palace. I begged Wan Longze to send the Southern Fire God Palace five hundred years’ worth of treasures, and then hung him up and whipped him for three hundred years before the Southern Fire God Palace finally gave up on the matter.”

“After this incident, I felt even more ashamed of him and that he was unworthy to be my son, so I imprisoned him in Biboze for seven hundred years.”

"Unfortunately, he still managed to run away."

"I am not surprised that he died out there. His death at the hands of the crested ibis was also due to the ill-fated relationship between the two of them."

The Azure Dragon Lord spoke slowly, his expression growing increasingly sinister: "But!"

"I can accept my son dying one-on-one at the hands of a crested ibis, but I cannot accept the involvement of Taoist practitioners!"

"What grudge does Suqin from the Kunlun Realm have against my son that she is so determined to kill him?!"

"That's my son. No matter how good-for-nothing he is, he's still my son, the flesh and blood his mother entrusted to me!"

As Bibo Longjun spoke, the pressure of the Mahayana Demon Lord, along with the dragon might of the true dragon, spread out, causing the entire Bibo Ze Dragon Palace to tremble under this terrifying pressure.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Evil Ancestor of the Left Divine Realm is the most unscrupulous, daring to kill anyone and do anything."

"Go to the Left Divine Realm and meet with Ancestor Tianxie on my behalf. Tell him that I, Ao Bo, am willing to use the accumulated wealth of the entire Bibo Marsh over the past five hundred years to ask Ancestor Tianxie to send someone to kill Su Qin!"

The figure hurriedly got up and left the Azure Wave Marsh, heading towards the edge of the Great Wilderness.

As the figure disappeared, a graceful and elegant figure walked in, revealing herself to be a dragon girl with two horns on her head.

The Dragon Girl looked at her father and said softly, "Father, this action will inevitably offend the Yaochi Holy Land."

"The Jade Pool Holy Land is not to be trifled with, and it is said that it has connections with the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School and the Heavenly Court of the Three Realms. If that Golden Mother Yuanjun were to become angry..."

Azure Wave Dragon Lord sneered, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. The murderer was from the Left Divine Realm. What does it have to do with my Azure Wave Dragon Palace?"

"If that Golden Mother Yuanjun insists on coming, then I don't mind asking why people from her Yaochi Holy Land can so rashly interfere in the karma of others. If her family can interfere in my son's karma, why can't I ask someone to interfere in the karma of her family's karma!"

"You allow her Yaochi Holy Land to be the first day of the month, but you won't allow me Biboze to be the fifteenth?"

Looking at the stubborn Azure Dragon Lord, the Dragon Girl shook her head helplessly.

The Azure Dragon King said indifferently, "I know you look down on your younger brother, but he is your blood relative. Both of you have my blood in your veins."

"I don't care if you keep an eye on that Pixiu clan brat, but your brother is dead, you can't stand idly by!"

The Dragon Girl remained silent, then bowed respectfully: "Your daughter will remember."

The Left Divine Realm, the Unorthodox Thousand Worlds.

Among the five unorthodox sects in the myriad realms, the Left Divine Realm stands out as unique.

Not only is the Left God Realm full of evil sects, but the entire Left God Realm has also become insane and stubborn because of that Heavenly Evil Ancestor. It is perfectly normal for people in the Left God Realm to kill indiscriminately or even slaughter the whole place at the slightest disagreement.

The Left Divine Realm is less a heterodox world and more his paradise, the Heavenly Evil Ancestor.

With the sudden decision of the Heavenly Evil Ancestor to seal off the entire Left God Realm, no one has dared to enter or leave the Left God Realm in recent years.

But on this day, a figure appeared outside the Left God Realm.

Looking at the vast world shrouded in a gray haze before him, the figure swallowed nervously, then bowed deeply to the world before him: "This junior is Jiao Jiao of the Azure Wave Marsh of the Great Wilderness Realm, who, by the order of the Azure Wave Dragon Lord, requests an audience with the Heavenly Evil Ancestor."

Before he could finish speaking, a suction force suddenly appeared, pulling the figure straight into it, and then it vanished without a trace.

After a long while, when Jiao Jiao regained consciousness from the dizziness, he found himself in a cave mountain.

Inside this cave mountain lies another world, a vast space that has been opened up. A three-legged, two-eared, three-zhang-tall cauldron stands in the center of the cave mountain. Evil fire burns continuously outside, and inside, it seems as if some figure is scratching at the cauldron's walls.

Beside the large cauldron, a hunched-over, gaunt figure wearing a loose, tattered Taoist robe stared at him with a half-smile.

The figure had a strange appearance, with a withered yellow goatee. One of its eyes was cloudy, and the other seemed to be blind, yet it possessed the ability to see through people's hearts and nature, and to see clearly all things in the world.

Just looking at that figure, looking into those eyes, Jiao Jiao couldn't help but freeze in place, revealing all his thoughts and the whole story.

Even after all the secrets had been revealed, Jiao Jiao remained oblivious.

The gaunt, goatee-bearded old Taoist priest revealed a strange and sinister smile: "Good, good, you've come to set your sights on this old Taoist priest."

"They're really using this old Taoist priest like a knife."

"However, this matter is quite interesting, very interesting."

As he spoke, the old Taoist with the goatee casually reached into the cauldron and pulled out two figures. Looking at the two figures, who were burned beyond recognition and had lost their minds, the old Taoist with the goatee's cloudy eyes were full of disdain and disgust: "Compared to Buqi and Buguai, you are far inferior!"

"However, what can I do? I'm short-handed right now."

"You two, go to Zhuzhou in the Nine Provinces Realm, find a woman named Suqin, skin her, and send her to that dragon cub in Biboze in the Great Wilderness Realm."

As soon as the words were spoken, the two seemingly delirious figures jolted, then knelt on the ground, trembling as they replied, "Disciples will obey the Ancestor's command."

The old Taoist with the goatee waved his hand listlessly, then grabbed the two figures and threw them out of the Left Divine Realm. At this moment, he looked at Jiao Jiao, who was still standing there in a daze, and his eyes rolled as if he had a new idea. He then grabbed Jiao Jiao and threw him into a pool of blood.

"Soak it thoroughly, until it's fully soaked, then this old Taoist can use it to refine elixirs."

"In this world, everything can be used to make pills. Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Four Symbols, wind and thunder can all be used to make pills. The primordial energy and spiritual energy of heaven and earth can also be used to make pills. So why is it so difficult to make pills from people?"

As the old Taoist priest spoke, he took out a tattered Taoist scripture, examined it from all angles, and finally sighed:
How unjust is this world!

"Why do the Taoist sects of all the heavens and myriad worlds possess so many secret formulas for alchemy, while I, this old Taoist, have nothing?"

"We couldn't get the pill formula from the Qinghua Dao Sect, so using the pill formula from the Yaochi Holy Land isn't a bad alternative."
