Above the Great Dao Chapter 1082 491: Lady Tushan

The Golden Dragon was in a daze, not yet clear on what had occurred. When his eyes finally focused, he discovered that the Immortal Elixir had been gnawed until only a bare stalk was left, while the leaves, flowers, and fruits had been eaten clean!

He was utterly shocked. Following the thieves' aura, he saw a few Qing Yang standing there dazed.

"The Immortal told to guard this treasure, to use it as a lifesaver when the Tribulation begins! Now it's been gnawed bare, what should be done?"

The Golden Dragon swooped down and grabbed those few Qing Yang.

The ram cried out, "It was the sheep from elsewhere, it's none of our concern! That Qing Yang went over there!"

The Golden Dragon looked where the ram pointed, only to see it was empty.

The Golden Dragon hung them up and beat them, resorting to severe punishnt, but the few Qing Yang cried about their innocence.

When the immortal of decay and growth returned and saw the Immortal Elixir gnawed to such a state, he couldn't help but rage, hanging and beating the Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon cried injustice, revealing the truth, and the immortal of decay and growth interrogated those few Qing Yang with suspicion, saying, "My Immortal Realm is my Harmonization Land, who could silently break into my Immortal Realm?"

He pinched his fingers and calculated, furrowing his brows deeply as he failed to deduce the identity of the thief who stole the Immortal Elixir.

"Strange, even their roots and traces have been wiped away, who dislikes so much?"

He looked at the Immortal Elixir and sighed in relief, murmuring, "Fortunately, the Elixir hasn't died. If carefully tended for a hundred years, it might grow back. If it had died, I'm afraid there'd be no cure for when the Tribulation begins!"

The Qing Yang burst out of the Pure Yang Immortal Realm and returned to the winding path, happily running towards the end of the road.

As he ran, he felt his body growing lighter and his steps lighter, as if with each step he could shed a body full of filth and burdens.

Before long, he reached the end of the road, feeling his body light, his Primordial Spirit robust, so light it seed to be about to fly away.

He looked back, suddenly stunned.

On this road, there were dozens of Qing Yang, each maintaining a running posture, with smiles on their faces.

All these Qing Yang were him!

Qing Yang was stupefied, not knowing what had happened.

At this mont, the road began to collapse and disintegrate, each Qing Yang on the road successively vanishing, swallowed by the Sea of Darkness.

Qing Yang hurriedly dashed forward, rushing into the light all at once, and when he stabilized his form, he found himself back in the Goddess Temple again.

He quickly bowed to Lady Houtu on the lotus platform.

Lady Houtu lightly raised her hand, smiling, "Do you know what the Immortal Elixir you ate is? This treasure was painstakingly found by the immortal of decay and growth, planted in his Pure Yang Immortal Realm, to save his life during the Tribulation. What you left behind along the way were nurous past versions of you that have died and could not beco immortal. Now, under the effect of the Elixir, you have transford, resurrected, and cultivated an Immortal Body."

Qing Yang was both surprised and delighted, once again thanking the Lady.

Lady Houtu said, "You ate the treasure of the immortal of decay and growth, extending your life, forming a cause and effect with him. What the future holds, I'm not sure. Be careful yourself."

Qing Yang was bewildered, not understanding the deeper aning of her words.

On the other side, the Heavenly Fox passed through the ring, arriving at the hills within. There, the green mountains were lush and the vegetation ancient, yet there were no signs of human life.

He transford into a burly Great Han, striding along and wandering among the mountains, puzzled in his heart, "Lady Houtu instructed to co here, to look for the nine-tailed Immortal Fox's tomb, perhaps due to so destiny. But how does one find it in this deep mountain forest?"

At this mont, he heard music emanating, distant and faint, the sound of the piano deep and profound.

Heavenly Fox Hu Xiaoliang followed the sound of the piano, listening from afar as a woman's song accompanied the music, the song went:

"In Tushan, the jade shadow is encountered, The water-tar recognizes the immortal's grace. Spiritual contracts connect mountains and seas, To wed with clouds as gifts."

Then the song shifted, becoming sowhat mournful and plaintive.

"His heart pursues distant waves, Her shadow transforms into starry bonds. Nine tails sway beneath the moon, Alone she waits for a millennium."

Hu Xiaoliang thought, "The first four lines seem to say soone tad waters and passed through Tushan, eting an immortal woman. The two shared a mutual understanding and similar interests, thus using clouds as a gift to wed. But the latter four lines say this water-tar left Tushan to control the floods, and the immortal's heart turned into stars that never separated. She waited for a millennium under the moon at Tushan, yet never saw that water-tar again, feeling quite a bit of lancholy. Could it be, the one playing the piano is the nine-tailed Immortal Fox I'm looking for?"

He ca closer, and saw a palace among the mountains, built from piled white jade, without any impurities.

A fox maiden ca to welco him, saying, "The Lady knew a descendant would co and invites the young master to speak."

Hu Xiaoliang, having transford into human form, looked rugged and careless, and for the first ti being addressed as young master, felt unsettled in his heart.

He followed the fox maiden into the palace, finding the place filled with ancient charm, yet exuding yin energy, likely transford from a tomb.

The fox maiden led him through overlapping corridors and bridges to the inner depths of the palace, seeing layers of white curtains hanging there, obscuring his vision, vaguely perceiving a Lady sitting behind the curtains, playing the piano.

The fox maiden led him to sit down, and the music from the opposite end paused.

Hu Xiaoliang, feeling quite anxious and breaking the silence, said, "This junior rudely disturbed you, please forgive , Lady."

A rather lodious voice ca from behind the curtain, saying, "We are all family here, what is there to be disturbed about? Are you from the Qingqiu lineage, or the Xuanyuan Tomb lineage?"

Hu Xiaoliang's heart trembled slightly; the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox is divided into two lineages, one is Qingqiu, the other is Xuanyuan Tomb, and the Fox Clan outside regards these two places as their Ancestral Land!

But this legend is very ancient, and nowadays, seldom of the Fox Clan know about it.

"The junior is from the Qingqiu lineage," Hu Xiaoliang said.

"Qingqiu lineage? Then you are my descendant."

The Lady behind the curtain chuckled, "What business do you have here?"

Hu Xiaoliang recounted the matter of his impure bloodline and said, "Disciple has been spreading roots in the West Bull New Continent and is the Clan Leader of the Fox Clan there. Now, in a ti of crisis, I seek guidance from an expert, coming here to seek an opportunity."

The Lady said, "I see. With an impure bloodline, remove the mixed blood, and then the bloodline can be restored. I will pass you a thod to verify the Heavenly Fox path. Cultivate according to this Magic Skill."

After a while, a fox woman ca forward with a jade plate, on which lay a bamboo slip.

Hu Xiaoliang hastily thanked and took the bamboo slip.

Behind the curtain, the Lady said, "The high person who sent you, could it be Lady Houtu?"

Hu Xiaoliang didn't dare to hide it, "Yes, it is."

The Lady said, "Lady Houtu keeps adding tasks for . You may leave now."

A snow-white curtain ca rushing over, brushing past in front of Hu Xiaoliang. Once the curtain moved past, all around were verdant mountains and clear waters, with no sign of the White Jade Palace.

Hu Xiaoliang was startled internally, but felt reassured upon pinching his sleeve and finding the bamboo slip recording the Heavenly Fox thod still there.

He returned the sa way, and once back at the Houtu Temple, he gave thanks to Lady Houtu.

Lady Houtu laughed, "The place you just went to is called Tushan, and Lady Tushan is your ancestor. Since you seek, she will bless you."

Hu Xiaoliang said, "I have not heard of Lady Tushan's title, only that the family ancestor cos from Qingqiu."

Lady Houtu said, "Lady Tushan was wed to the Human Emperor who managed the waters, but back then, the Human Emperor was not yet the Human Emperor. After managing the waters, when he ascended the throne as emperor, he could no longer marry a fox woman. She waited in Tushan in vain for a thousand years, slowly harboring resentnt. When the Human Emperor established the Great Xia, in its last generation, a Nine-tailed Fox erged from Xuanyuan Tomb, transforming into an extraordinary beauty, leading to the downfall of Great Xia, thus avenging the ancestral grievances."

Hu Xiaoliang was dumbfounded, suddenly recalling sothing, and hurriedly said, "Lady, the place the junior just visited, could it be Huaxia Divine Continent?"

Lady Houtu smiled without speaking, gesturing for him to leave.

Hu Xiaoliang had no choice but to leave, focusing on studying the Heavenly Fox thod.

In the past few days, Chen Yindou has been diligently refining a wisp of Reincarnation Qi, Du Yiran studying Profound Yellow Qi, while Creation Little Five cultivated sitting on a lotus platform, and Chen Shi received an unexpected visitor.

Zhong Wuwang brought Great Dao Spring Water, handing it to Chen Shi, saying, "The Dao Spring Water is extrely rare, condensed from Immortal Energy into dew, the only Great Dao Spring in the West Bull New Continent, untainted by any Evil Qi, most precious."

Chen Shi fetched his old big pot used for dicinal baths, pouring the Dao Spring Water into it.

Zhong Wuwang's eye twitched involuntarily, restraining himself as he said, "This is the Great Dao Spring Water, most rare, the only Dao Spring, located in my Despair Slope..."

Chen Shi remarked with surprise, "You already ntioned this once."

He picked up Wu Qi's bones, placing them into the pot, then got in himself.

Zhong Wuwang watched Chen Shi sitting in the pot, his mouth twitching, saying, "The Dao Spring is extrely precious..."

"Do you want to co in too?"

Chen Shi hesitated, "My pot isn't big enough to hold the three of us."

Zhong Wuwang snorted, saying nothing more.

Chen Shi only felt that the Dao Spring was indeed extraordinarily magical; threads of unusual warmth drilled into his skin's pores, refining his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit, making him feel extrely comfortable.

Zhong Wuwang stood by the pot, breaking the silence, "I hear soone is cultivating the Old thod for Tribulation Crossing, is that person you?"

Chen Shi spread his arms, leisurely saying, "Yes, it's . But it's my outer body undergoing the Tribulation Crossing. I have already beco an Immortal with my Primordial Spirit, using the Immortal Light and Immortal Energy of the Immortal Realm to refine the physical body, transforming it into an Immortal Body, then I can Harmonize. You should know, once I Harmonize, this world will be greatly altered."

Zhong Wuwang thought of his Yin Yang Dojo, his heart trembling, "You are Harmonizing with your Incarnation, but the realm of your True Body is far inferior to mine. I will pave the way to becoming an Immortal using the New thod, far surpassing you."

Chen Shi leisurely said, "I have four major disciples, all Independent, whose Cultivation rivals yours. Perhaps before you beco an Immortal, my four disciples might already have beco Immortals."

Zhong Wuwang felt under pressure.

After a mont, he suddenly said, "The Heavenly Venerate was injured—by a knife wound."

Chen Shi's expression grew solemn, sitting up, said in a deep voice, "A knife wound? What kind of knife wound?"

Zhong Wuwang said, "A wound from the Yin Yang Qi knife. He took the Yin Yang Flask of the Immortal Artifact from my Despair Slope to treat the knife wound. The wound on back then was also healed using this Immortal Artifact!"

"So the Heavenly Venerate is blind in one eye!"

Chen Shi clenched his fist tightly and laughed, "I did it! It seems the Heavenly Venerate is not invincible after all!"
