Chapter 446 A Strange Seed, The Sparrow Master's Ambition

The Xuanhuang Temple Master and the Yanwu Grand Venerable emerged from the void.

Gazing at Dao Yan and Huang Shigong before him, his expression remained unreadable.

Even powerful figures like Dao Yan and Huang Shigong felt uneasy, but more than anything, they felt guilty.

The first battle against Fenglingdao resulted in such heavy losses, and the two men are still deeply troubled by it!

After a long silence, the abbot of Xuanhuang Temple spoke softly:
"Let's go into the territory first and tell you in detail about what happened in the northern border region."

Upon hearing this, Yanwu Dazun turned and stepped into the realm.

Dao Yan smiled bitterly. He knew his master's temperament very well. If he scolded or beat him, that would be one thing, but if he remained silent, it seemed that his master was extremely angry!

Upon seeing this, Huang Shigong sighed. The abbot of Xuanhuang Temple was kind-hearted, but his silence just now also showed the anger in his heart.

Patting Dao Yan on the shoulder, the two followed Yan Wu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu into the realm.

within the boundary

In just a few dozen breaths, the flag bearers and Xueyan and the others had already cleared out several mountain peaks.

On the central main peak, the flag bearer is driving the Xuanhuang (a type of ancient Chinese chariot) to build the Taoist temple and residence.

After the matter was almost resolved, the flag bearer and Zizhen and the others gathered in the mountaintop plaza. With a thought, Zizhen retrieved Kunshan, who had been saved within the Dharma Realm.

Although everyone had anticipated the brutality of the Battle of Jiangbei Pass, they were still shocked by the appalling state of Kunshan!

Half of his body was bare white bones, with the skeleton growing wildly, resembling a thicket of thorns!

The other half of his body was a jumbled mess of flesh, tumors, fascia, and even disordered facial features.
Mixed with Kunshan's chaotic primordial spirit, these strange bodies, each with its own thoughts, struggled to break free from Kunshan's physical body, but were firmly suppressed by Kunshan's instincts.

"hiss!"

The flag bearer gasped and couldn't help but ask Zi Zhen:

"What on earth did you encounter?"

Zi Zhen sighed softly, about to reply, when a voice suddenly answered from above the square:
"This is the ultimate power of chaos!"

Everyone's hearts stirred, and they looked up at the sky, then bowed again in greeting:
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Greetings to the Master!"

Yanwu and Xuanhuang waved their hands simultaneously and said softly:
"Get up!"

During their journey into the realm, Dao Yan and Huang Shigong had already recounted the events within the northern border to the two of them in detail.

The two were also quite interested in that Ninth Young Master!

The moment they finished speaking, the two fell into the void. The Xuanhuang Temple Master stepped forward and pointed a finger at Kunshan's brow. A drop of golden blood flowed from the Xuanhuang Temple Master's fingertip and fell into his brow.

Kunshan's confused primordial spirit instantly became clear, and the abnormal changes in his flesh, blood, and bones stopped immediately!
A large amount of grayish-black gas rose from Kunshan's body; this was the chaotic power spread by the Ninth Prince.

Yanwu Dazun extended a finger, and these gray-black gases swirled around his fingertip.

"As expected, that so-called Ninth Young Master is related to the Sparrow Lord!"

Master Xuanhuang withdrew his finger. Although Kunshan's physical body was still in a miserable state, it was rapidly being restored to human form under the impetus of his primordial spirit.

Turning to look at the Great Venerable Yanwu, the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple asked softly:

"Are they the strange creatures born from the Black Sparrow God, who was appointed by the Sparrow Lord in earlier years?"

Grand Venerable Yanwu nodded thoughtfully, then murmured with some doubt:
"But weren't those monsters supposed to have died long ago?"

The abbot of Xuanhuang Temple, somewhat puzzled, echoed:
"Logically speaking, he should have died. In order to reduce the Black Sparrow God's alienation and backlash on himself, the Sparrow Lord urged the Black Sparrow God to give birth to offspring in an attempt to reduce the Black Sparrow God's power. Logically speaking, no offspring should be able to withstand it!"

After the Xuanhuang Temple Master finished speaking, he also took a wisp of chaotic gray-black power and carefully probed it.

After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said again:

"It should be close enough. It is indeed extremely similar to the chaotic power of the Sparrow Lord Black Sparrow God. It seems that the Sparrow Lord has explored a lot over the years!"

Xueyan and the others were somewhat confused by what Yanwu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu were saying!

Li Wushou, whose spirit resided within the body of the Purple True Daoist, was startled.

When the old beggar enslaved Zhu Liuli's primordial spirit, Zique, the name displayed on the spirit tablet of the Three Immortals Pavilion was:
"Son of the Sparrow Lord, the Glazed Sparrow God"

The old beggar then said something inexplicable:
"The Sparrow Lord has suffered quite a bit in order to break free from the shackles of the Sealed Spirit Path."

This coincides with what the Xuanhuang Temple Master and the Yanwu Grand Venerable said! So, in a sense, the Ninth Prince is also the son of the Sparrow Venerable, only he carries the chaotic power of the Sparrow Venerable?

Zhu Liuli inherited more of the ability to enter the inner sparrow.

Thinking of this, Li Wushou couldn't help but feel alarmed.

In the understanding of Yanwu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu, Que Zun had previously tried to use the Black Sparrow God to give birth to offspring and inherit the power of the Black Sparrow God, thereby getting rid of its alienation and backlash!
But those strange creatures couldn't withstand the backlash and all died!
But now that the Ninth Prince is alive, there is another Zhu Liuli who is even closer to his original self, and who knows if an Eighth Prince or a Seventh Prince will appear later!

Does that mean that the impact on the Sparrow Master was not actually that great?

She's not that crazy, is she?

Therefore, the cooperation between Que Zun and Bulao Mountain was not a desperate move on the verge of madness, but a well-thought-out decision.
These two methods, although yielding the same result, represent entirely different meanings.

If it is well thought out, it means that the Sparrow Lord has full confidence in the invasion of the Central Domain!
The unknown confidence of the Sparrow Master made Li Wushou frown.

What is in the open is not scary, but the unknown is what makes people wary!

His mind was in turmoil, but after a long while, a thought struck him and he came to his senses.

The old beggar and the abbot of Xuanhuang Temple seemed to be talking about the same thing, but also seemed to be talking about different things.
The "shackles of the Sealed Spirit Path" are not merely the influence and backlash of the Black Sparrow God on the Sparrow Lord.

Judging from the situation of the Ninth Prince and Zhu Liuli, the way the Black Sparrow God gave birth to offspring has already reduced its backlash against the Sparrow Lord!
Logically speaking, if the Sparrow Lord only wanted to get rid of the influence of the Black Sparrow God, he would not need to start a war between the two regions or cooperate with the Immortal Mountain.

This is a losing proposition!
So what could be more important to Mahjong and more willing to do than this?
After much thought, Li Wushou had only one answer.

That is the ultimate vision of the Sealing Spirit Path:
Harmony with Heaven and Earth!

The Sparrow Lord also desires to unite with the Dao of Heaven and Earth!
Or perhaps, the Sparrow Master wants to become an immortal!
Only in this way can we explain why the Sparrow Lord, though not insane, insisted on breaking ties with the Central Domain, and was even unafraid of the potential danger of the Fubo Domain joining the encirclement.

So what exactly did Bulaoshan promise Que Zun?
Could it be that the Great Celestial Venerable and the Earth Mother Venerable can really help the Sparrow Venerable break free from the shackles of the Sealing Spirit Path and go further?
Li Wushou did not believe this.

If the Great Celestial Venerable of Immortal Mountain and the Earth Mother Venerable have this ability, why don't they do it themselves?
Judging from the current situation, the Immortal Mountain should be quite familiar with the method of sealing spirits.

So what exactly is it?

And it shouldn't just be a promise!

Would someone as powerful as the Sparrow Master really make such a fuss over a mere promise?

Especially considering that Mahjong Master isn't as crazy as everyone thinks!
The sacred realm of Yanyang Mountain is sealed with the spirits of heaven and earth; the nine young masters of the northern border are also sealed with the spirits of heaven and earth.
These scenes, rather than being an attack by the Fengling Path, are more like the Sparrow Lord's experiment!

Li Wushou's mind stirred; he vaguely grasped some of the Sparrow Lord's thoughts, though he was not yet clear about them.

If his guess is correct, the Sparrow Lord should soon make his next move.

Moreover, this action is much larger than the situation in the Northern Frontier Pass and the Holy Realm!

He still needs to delve deeper into the Sealed Spirit Path to confirm a few things!

Having realized these things, Li Wushou calmed his mind.

At this moment, the Great Venerable Yanwu and the Abbot of Xuanhuang Temple were rewarding Wu Xia and Daoist Zizhen. Because the two were his disciples, the Great Venerable Yanwu was in a better mood.

Li Wushou could see things clearly; although Yanwu and Xuanhuang were extremely angry, they were still in a state of restraint.

Neither of them even disturbed the Dao rhythm to fill the Dao rhythm of Yan Yang and Xuan Huang Qi, nor did they help Dao Yan and Huang Shigong reverse the world of the Sealed Spirit Dao.

This further solidified Li Wushou's previous assumption:

Before the coordinates of the Sparrow Lord's Sacred Domain are determined, none of the three will personally intervene!

They paid no attention to the scene of Yanwu Dazun and Xuanhuang Guanzhu revitalizing the morale of the Central Region.

He was not worried about the future potential of the Central Region.

As Zi Zhen had previously stated, in addition to the teams that had already gathered, the follow-up teams from the Central Region were on their way.

Having learned from the experience of the Northern Frontier Pass, the two leaders of the Central Region will likely make their next offensive more appropriate and meticulous.

However, the outcome is hard to say.

Li Wushou must quickly learn about the situation on Fengling Island.

Only in this way can the situation be secretly balanced, allowing the outcome to develop in the way one desires.

Composing himself, Li Wushou focused intently on the situation with the Golden Bee Spirit.
