After Favorability Is Maxed

283 As Expected of Fairy Ling Hua
The Guihuan Elder walked to the front of Sheng’e and saw the mole on Ling Yu’s forehead. He thought for a while and said, “Interesting, interesting. It turns out that after the Nine Heavens Jade Stem transformed, it went to the Jade Mirage Sect.”

The Guihuan Python’s eyes were connected to the earth vein of the Heavenly Pivot. The Nine Heavens Jade Stem was neither plant nor jade, but it was also a part of a treasure of heaven and earth. In the tens of millions of years, it had been observed twice when it was born and transformed. However, this kind of birth and death was very common to him, so he only had a brief impression of it.

Although You Sui was the only God in Shangyang, it was not wrong to call Guihuan Elder a God with divine power. He had the vision of a God, and naturally, he had the mentality of a God. The nature of heaven and earth was like a child to him.

Now that he saw the Nine Heavens Jade Stem again, which had witnessed its birth and growth, he was instantly filled with joy and regret.

The joy and regret were self-evident.

The Nine Heavens Jade Stem was extremely pure. After transforming into a human form, it was naturally also extremely kind and bright. It was not afraid of filth, but at the same time, filth was its worst enemy. Under normal circumstances, it was immune to poison and evil. At the same time, it also had a purifying effect.

However, once the amount of filth absorbed by one’s body exceeded the limit, it would become a burden and wear down one’s cultivation. Xu Xinhong’s ‘Ten Thousand Maple Rivers’ was formed from his lifetime’s cultivation, and it was a Dao integration poison. It almost immediately reduced Ling Yu to its original form.

Originally, she had already officially entered the ranks of cultivators. With the qualifications of the Nine Heavens Jade Stem, it was not impossible for her to become like Ling Hua in time. However, now that her seven orifices were slowly closing, she was going to turn back into a hard rock. It would take hundreds or thousands of years before she could cultivate back to human form.

It was no wonder that life was so sad. This scene was no less than a life-and-death separation.

Ling Yu sharply sensed the ‘sight’ of the Guihuan Elder. She tugged at Sheng’e’s sleeve and mumbled, “Master, Master, why is he looking at me?”

Sheng’e helped Ling Yu up and touched her forehead as if she was a child. Then, he bowed to Guihuan Elder and said in a deep voice, “Greetings, Messenger. May I ask what private matter you have with me?”

In terms of seniority, the Guihuan Elder was probably more senior than all the people present added together. However, although the Sea Slashing Tower was extraordinary, it was not one level higher than the sects of Central Plains. There was no reason for it to be inferior. It was just right and appropriate to treat the messenger with respect and treat him as a peer.

Ling Yu hid behind her master and looked at the Guihuan Elder. She had the look of a timid, lively, and cunning little girl, but her appearance was already that of a 20-year-old girl, so she looked coy for no reason.

Guihuan Elder pulled his attention back from Ling Yu and nodded, “Originally, I had just come out of seclusion and Daoist Master wanted to send Jiao Su over. However, I calculated that the descendants of the Black Tortoise are now under the Jade Mirage Sect, so I took the initiative to ask to come as an envoy.”

Sheng’e was stunned. The bloodline of the Black Tortoise?

At first, he did not react. Ling Yu, who was behind him, had been pulling on his sleeve. Now that she suddenly tightened her grip, he immediately remembered.

Wasn’t the little girl that Ling Yu had brought back, Gu Chang, the descendant of the Black Tortoise?

As everyone knew, after the war between the human race and the demon race, the Saint went into seclusion and the four symbols went into hiding.

The Green Dragon’s lineage only had Dao Master You Su, who was trapped in the Sea Slashing Tower to suppress the demons.

The phoenixes that the Vermilion Bird gave birth to were still waiting to be reborn in the Nirvana Secret Realm. There was no trace of them.

The White Tiger had been taken away by the Saint to become a guard.

The remaining Black Tortoise actually hid in the city and combined with a mortal. His bloodline was diluted and there was no news of him at all.

The 28 Lunar Mansions of the Sea Slashing Tower were divided into four divisions, all of which were the followers of the Four Symbols. They followed the Daoist Master to continue suppressing the demons in the Yonghui Sea, but they still wanted to welcome their old master back.

Xu Xiu belonged to the Black Tortoise Division. He naturally only had one purpose for asking about the Black Tortoise’s bloodline, which was to take him away and nurture him.

Sheng’e understood what Guihuan Elder meant and also understood that if Xu Su were bring Gu Chang to the Sea Slashing Tower and trained by the Black Tortoise Division, she might have a better future. However, Gu Chang was brought back by Ling Yu, and since she said that she would stay in the Jade Mirage Sect, she could not be allowed to go anywhere else. He shook his head and said, “I won’t hide it from you, Messenger. The child with the Black Tortoise bloodline has already paid her respects to the founder of the Jade Mirage Sect. I’m afraid we can’t let her leave with you.”

The Guihuan Elder was not easily convinced. He said, “The four divisions of the Sea Slashing Tower have been loyal to the old masters of the Four Symbols for 10,000 years. In terms of time, we’ve been loyal to them longer than your Grandmaster of the Jade Mirage Sect. Moreover, the Sea Slashing Tower is not a sect, but more like a disciple of the Jade Mirage.

Sheng’e smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. “I hope you can forgive me, Messenger…”

Guihuan Elder raised his Double Serpent Staff and said, “You should know the importance of the reunion of the Four Symbols to suppress the demon race, but I am not an unreasonable person. At the very least, you need to let me see the descendant of the Black Tortoise and explain the situation clearly. Let her make her own choice.”

With that said, Sheng’e could only agree, but he did not have much hope in his heart.

After all, the Sea Slashing Tower was famous. As long as one was an Immortal cultivator, there was no one who did not yearn for it. He could only hope that the child would take into account their old relationship on account of Ling Yu. Otherwise, Ling Yu would be very sad.

After talking about personal matters, it was naturally time to talk about serious matters.

Guihuan Eldersaid, “I’ve heard that the demon race has appeared in the Central Plains. I’ve also heard that Ling Hua was bewitched by the demon clan and betrayed the sect. This has been questioned by many people. The Daoist Master has always thought highly of this woman. He can’t bear to see her get covered in dust. Thus, he has given her special care and sent me here to help investigate. I’ll give her appropriate help.”

The people from the various sects looked at each other with surprise and amazement on their faces. Although they had guessed the purpose of the visit of the emissaries from the Sea Slashing Tower, but… As expected of Fairy Ling Hua, even the elusive Dao Master had to pay special attention to her!

The Heart Sword Sect’s representative was the most straightforward. He cupped his hands and said, “Daoist Master is wise, we will fully cooperate.”

The other sects echoed, and for a moment, the crowd’s voices were loud and full of momentum.

Vast Sea Palace Master’s expression changed slightly, but he immediately covered it up. However, he was cursing in his heart. Although the Sea Slashing Tower and the Jade Mirage Sect were allies on the same front line and should help each other, the Sea Slashing Tower had definitely put eliminating the demons first when facing the demons.

They had made a mistake by using the demon race as an excuse. However, this was the only crime that could greatly damage Ling Hua’s reputation. Otherwise, with her support in the Jade Mirage Sect, even if she had made a small mistake, there would definitely be a large group of people who would help her clear her name.

The most important thing was that, by right, the Sea Slashing Tower would not interfere with the affairs of the Central Plains. However, they did not know what evil wind had blown over them this time. Not only had they sent an emissary, but they had also sent someone at the Crossing Calamity stage to investigate. This was simply unreasonable!

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of the various sects were ready to leave. The disciples of Jade Mirage Sect began to clear up the scene. Vast Sea Palace Master was about to go back to recuperate when Sheng’e suddenly said, “Hold on,”

Vast Sea Palace Master turned around. After being a good person for so many years, his kind face revealed a cold expression for the first time. He said in front of everyone, “Since the Messenger has finished speaking, I have something to say as well. Vast Sea Palace Master has failed in his duty and caused the protection formation to fail. The first and second levels have fallen and countless disciples have lost their lives. This mistake will cost us significantly. He should be whipped a thousand times and face the wall for a thousand days. He should be stripped of his position as Palace Master and demoted to an Elder.”

He faced the Vast Sea Palace Master, who had a cold glint in his eyes, and shielded his disciple behind him. He said, “Do you have any objections?”

He had been old and muddled his entire life, from the weakest among his fellow disciples to the Sect Master who was powerless in the power struggle between the four palaces. He must… He must at least protect his disciple.
