"White Tiger King, White Tiger Manor Lord, I apologize for disturbing you." Lu Yao had no major grudges with White Tiger Manor and was not here to seek revenge, so his attitude was very polite.
The old White Tiger King laughed heartily and declared boldly, "The Palace Master of the Eight Views Palace is so young, yet he has already achieved the status of a King by severing the Dao. He should be the number one person on the ancient Ziwei Star!"
"You flatter me, White Tiger King," Lü Yao said politely.
"Come, enter my manor. There are immortal wines and spiritual fruits. Please, Fellow Daoist Lü, taste them." The old white tiger initially thought his son's words that the master of the Eight Views Palace was comparable to a half-saint were unbelievable.
But upon seeing him, he realized that even though the person was standing right in front of him, his divine sense had no effect on him, as if the person did not exist.
This greatly shocked the White Tiger King, who realized that the master of the Eight Views Palace probably resided in the Divine Forbidden Zone and that his true strength exceeded the realm of Immortal Three, at least having one foot in the Saint Realm.
Although the White Tiger Clan is a demon clan, this manor is extremely elegant, unlike the rugged and desolate mountains and sacred peaks outside.
Upon entering the manor, the White Tiger King led him into a unique garden, where fairy flowers bloomed everywhere, lush greenery abounded, clear springs gurgled, and the primordial energy was so rich that it turned into tiny droplets that clung to the leaves of ancient trees.
Three tables were set up around a pond, and the White Tiger King and the White Tiger Manor Lord invited Lü Yao to take a seat. This seemingly simple family banquet featured extremely peculiar wines, which contained the essence of gold.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Lü."
The White Tiger King raised the bronze goblet.
"It would be impolite to refuse." Lü Yao didn't stand on ceremony and drank it down in one gulp. Immediately, his throat burned, and a burst of golden essence exploded in his lungs, scraping against the inner walls of his internal organs.
"Good drinking capacity!" Old White Tiger King and White Tiger Manor Master cheered, and immediately downed their drinks in one gulp. With a "smack," they placed the empty wine vessels on the table, causing many dishes to jump.
After a long while, Lü Yao refined the wisp of golden essence within his body, put down the bronze wine cup, and exclaimed, "Good wine."
The White Tiger Manor Lord clapped his hands and laughed heartily, "This wine is brewed from the refined gold energy beneath my White Tiger Ancestral Land. That refined gold energy is extremely volatile and cannot be touched by anyone but a king. But since it has received praise from the Eight Views Palace Master, all this hard work is worthwhile."
After listening to his son's boasting, the old White Tiger King looked at Lü Yao and asked in confusion, "I wonder what brings you here, Lü Yao?"
Judging from Lü Yao's attitude, he didn't seem like someone who had come to settle scores.
After Lu Yao placed a piece of savage beast meat on Xiao Nannan's plate, he met the White Tiger King's gaze and noticed the confusion and wariness in the other's expression.
He immediately said gently, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry. I have only come to ask a few questions. Once I have the answers, I will leave."
"Oh?" The old white tiger put down his chopsticks, indicating that he was all ears.
Lu Yao cleared his throat and asked directly, "I have heard that in the ancient times, the White Tiger Clan had an ancestor who attained the Dao and became an emperor. I wonder if you know anything about this?"
Old King Baihu pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "I don't know about this matter."
"Is Baihu Manor a native clan of the Ziwei Ancient Star?" Lü Yao asked curiously.
If it were an ordinary demon tiger, it would make sense if it obtained an opportunity to evolve into a demon saint.
"No, that's not it. According to our clan's records, our clan migrated from beyond the borders in ancient times," the White Tiger King explained. "But that's too long ago. I don't know exactly when we arrived. There are only a few words about it in our clan's ancient books."
The White Tiger Manor Lord continued, "The clearest records in our clan are of what happened after White Tiger Manor; everything before that is vague."
This is troublesome. Lü Yao's heart skipped a beat.
He originally thought that the White Tiger Manor's heritage was not left by the White Tiger Daoist, but if it came from the depths of the universe, he should have heard of the White Tiger Scripture. Who would have thought that not a single record of it was left behind.
"I wonder why you are inquiring about this matter?" the old White Tiger King asked.
"I want to find the whereabouts of the White Tiger Ancient Scripture." Lü Yao did not hide anything. This branch may not even be the descendants of the White Tiger Ancient Emperor. Knowing that he was looking for the ancient emperor's scripture, they would not have any objection.
"White Tiger Scripture... White Tiger Ancient Emperor." The White Tiger Manor Lord murmured, reciting it two or three times.
He looked at his father, Old Wang the White Tiger, who slowly nodded.
The White Tiger Manor Lord looked at Lü Yao and said, "If Fellow Daoist Lü is looking for the White Tiger Scripture, I do have some information, but its authenticity is uncertain, and you will have to verify it yourself."
Lü Yao replied, "Please speak, fellow Daoist."
"My clan has an ancient text that records a legend; fellow Daoist, please judge for yourself whether it is true or false." The White Tiger Manor Lord didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly:
"Ten thousand years ago, there was a legend that there was a divine cave on the ancient road of the demon race, left by the White Tiger ancestor. Later, a human powerhouse attacked the ancient road of the demon race, entered the divine cave, and left three years later."
The demon experts entered and found only stone walls with their writing scraped off, suggesting that some ancient scriptures had been destroyed.
After listening quietly, Old King Baihu looked at Lü Yao and said, "This is just a record of fragments. It would be remarkable if you could believe even a fraction of it. That happened hundreds of thousands of years ago. Whether that divine cave was left by the ancient White Tiger Emperor is hard to say."
Lu Yao raised his glass and said gratefully, "Even just a few words have helped me a lot."
.......
Lu Yao took Xiao Nannan to the Taiyin Divine Sect again. The Human Emperor Cave was still closed, and the old madman was still in seclusion.
There were quite a few cultivators nearby, of varying levels of cultivation. Some wanted to become disciples of a sage, while others wanted to find divine artifacts and scriptures in the old land of Taiyin. They were all trying their luck.
"Big brother, isn't Grandpa the old madman coming with us?" the little girl asked.
The seniority was all over the place, but the root cause was that Ye Fan shamelessly called the old madman "big brother," so Lü Yao had no choice but to follow suit.
Lu Yao replied, "Don't worry, he still has unfulfilled potential here. Let's leave first."
Ultimately, Lü Yao decided to go to Earth to try and find the whereabouts of the Lingbao Scripture.
He wanted to know what changes would occur when the three scriptures of the Three Pure Ones were gathered together, according to legend.
His Dao body is only in its embryonic form. To perfect it, it must rely on the complete inheritance of the three ancient celestial beings.
"I'll go to the Taiqing Sacred Realm again." Lu Yao went to the Taiqing Sacred Realm and put away the Eight Views Palace. This palace was made of extraordinary materials. When he attains enlightenment in the future, he can refine it again and use it as a Daoist temple.
He also saw the small altar, about ten feet long, beneath the Eight Views Palace. He pondered for a moment, but ultimately chose to return to the Sun God Cult.
Upon returning to the Sun God Cult, he met with Li Zhengyang and the others. Without much formality, Lü Yao directly announced his departure.
“Since you have made up your mind to go to the depths of the starry sky, how can we stop you? We wish you a speedy attainment of the Dao.” Li Zhengyang spoke sincerely, and the other clansmen were also filled with gratitude.
With confirmed news, the ancient kingdom of Fusang in the East China Sea is now deserted, with no trace of the Golden Crow, and it is likely that they have truly returned to their ancestral star.
This was a favor bestowed by Lü Yao upon the Sun God Cult, so much so that even the saints of the Golden Crow Clan abandoned their desire for revenge.
"Even after a thousand miles of farewells, there will come a time for parting. So please don't see us off any further." Seeing the more than a thousand clansmen following closely behind, reluctant to leave for a long time, Lu Yao was also moved.
"Everyone, let's disperse." It was only after Li Zhengyang and Li Zhengyue persuaded them that everyone returned to the Divine Court.
Looking over, Lü Yao saw Li Zhengyang, the current leader of the cult, the leader's wife, and Li Wan.
The former vice-leader is still unconscious, but his condition has stabilized. Li Wan's younger brother, whose cultivation is too shallow, is in seclusion and has no one to inform him of his benefactor's departure.
As for Xiao Nannan, Chi Jiao, Li Tian, Yan Yixi, and the old national teacher, Lü Yao put them into the Chaos Gourd.
As for Yi Qingwu, she had already been released back to the Moon Palace two days earlier.
He instructed Li Zhengyang to grant Yi Qingwu permission to enter the Sun Secret Realm for enlightenment.
Under Lü Yao's guidance, Li Tian and Yan Yixi barely grasped a trace of the Great Dao of the Wise Sword to Sever the Threads of Emotion, but ultimately could not see the whole picture.
But after so much hard work, he has already stepped onto the ninth small step of the second level of Sendai Heaven.
If the legendary artifact, the Goddess Furnace, were to exist on the ancient star of the Big Dipper, one could establish a sect and become a regional overlord.
As for the old imperial advisor, after much deliberation, Lü Yao decided to bring him along.
If there's no news on this trip, then let the old national teacher do some calculations; he's practically a walking compass.
Upon entering the Sun Realm, Lü Yao stepped onto the pebble path and continued forward without any pressure.
Finally, when he was twenty steps away from the five-colored altar, he felt a sense of pressure, because there was a trace of holy power present here.
But he was able to continue forward despite this wisp of divine might.
With ten steps to go, Lü Yao was plunged into darkness, endlessly cycling through the environment, accompanied by an overwhelming holy might. He was like a mortal drowning in the sea, struggling to breathe.
Fortunately, his body and primordial spirit were strong enough, far surpassing those of a Great Completion King, and he managed to move forward despite the tsunami-like holy might.
Finally, he stepped onto the five-colored altar.
Turning around, I saw several members of the Sun God Cult waving.
As for Li Wan, that little girl, she has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years. She is no longer the withered girl she was at fourteen, but has become full-bodied and has the appearance of a sun goddess.
In another year or two, she will probably be listed among the top ten goddesses of Ziwei.
At this moment, she was no longer the stubborn woman she once was. Her face was covered with tears, which streamed down her cheeks and onto her long, fair neck.
A long, fiery red dress stood quietly beneath the stone tablet, like a soaring phoenix, like a holy spirit amidst flames.
"We'll meet again eventually." Lü Yao added in his mind: I don't have Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, otherwise this little girl would be quite suitable to use it.
He left the Feathered Immortal Golden Immortal material bucket in his hand to Li Wan, so that if Li Wan could find some more in the future, she could forge a decent artifact.
To be honest, this young girl is extremely diligent in her cultivation, even surpassing Ye Fan, who is constantly being hunted down and in life-or-death situations.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have obtained the Ancient Sun Scripture and the Fusang Divine Tree. I could have cultivated diligently, and once I suppressed the darkness and chaos, your generation would have been able to enjoy peace at will."
The five-colored altar hummed, bursting forth with multicolored divine light, and spatial power continuously spread, enveloping Lü Yao.
The next second, his figure disappeared from the altar.
Li Wan disregarded her image as a princess of the Divine Court, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and murmured, "I will definitely catch up with you and fight alongside you one day."
Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhengyue looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
But Lü Yao owed the Li and Jiang families a life-saving debt, so it seemed there wasn't much truth to that statement. Lü Yao set off again, traveling through the universe, a place as desolate, dark, and cold as ever.
Fortunately, with many people by my side, it wasn't too difficult to get through.
As soon as he stepped into the void passage, Lü Yao released Xiao Nannan, Chi Jiao, and the others.
"Master, where are we going now?" The Crimson Dragon released the ancient war chariot, preparing for everyone to board.
But Lü Yao stopped him, and he took out the Eight Views Palace, which was the quasi-emperor's bedroom.
As everyone entered the main hall, Lü Yao controlled the Eight Views Palace to fly into the depths of the universe. Its speed was far slower than that of the old madman, but it was still acceptable.
"Go to the ancient star, a magical ancient star, which is also my hometown."
"Is this the Dao Lord's hometown?" Li Tian and the others became interested, as this was the first time they had learned about Lü Yao's background.
"I went from the ancient star of the Primordial Era to the ancient star of the Big Dipper, and then from the Big Dipper to the Purple Star." Lü Yao gave a general explanation, recounting his experiences over the past ten years.
The universe is desolate; besides spiritual practice, one can only reminisce about the past.
This trip to Earth won't last long, and the spiritual treasure inheritance that Ye Fan couldn't find back then has most likely been lost.
But Flying Immortal Star should give him some surprises.
