I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 153: The Great and Powerful Biyou Patriarch, Born in Ancient Times, Raises the Price

He referred to himself as "this seat" in a condescending and arrogant manner.

Lu Xizi, Lin Youzi and others were all feeling a little unhappy.

"My Jin'ao Island and your Lingjiu Great Wilderness are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and we have never had any intersection."

Taoist Xingxiu said calmly, "We all know the prince's intention, but our master has already issued a clear order that we monks are not allowed to participate in disputes between humans, demons, or even the secular world."

Lingjiu Territory is an area deep in the ancient world; there is a demon fairy and true saint stationed there, who is known as the leader of the bird-feathered demon clan. However, it is separated from Nanshan Territory by billions of mountains and seas, and the two families cannot even be in the same place.

Of course they knew why Huang Ling came here.

He was simply sent by the old demon Huanyue to invite the people of Jin'ao Island to come out and help.

Although the master has already issued a decree; we must temporarily stand on the side of the demon clan.

But this matter is not so easy to agree to.

In fact, Prince Huang Ling was not the first to come to Jin'ao Island this month.

The old demon Huanyue sent two groups of people to invite them, but they were both rejected by Jin'ao Island.

Not only the old demon Huanyue, but even the Five Elders of Beishan sent a famous Qi-refining master to invite for help in the battle, and also brought a large number of gifts.

But before he even entered the gate of Jin'ao Island, he was beaten back by Lin Youzi who was guarding Heishuipo.

The demon tribe heard the news and immediately raised the stakes, this time even sending a "prince" to invite them.

The reason why he rejected the invitation from the old demon Huanyue again and again.

Firstly, after many discussions, Taoist Xingxiu and his fellow disciples felt that the time to take action had not yet come; the fight between the Huanyue and Kunwu families had not yet become intense.

Secondly, they have new magical instruments and spells, and they need time to practice, adapt, and make some preparations.

Thirdly, even if the master has ordered us to help the demon clan, we can't do it in vain.

In other words, you can help, but you have to pay for it.

We cannot let those demon forces look down on Jin'ao Island.

We also have to give Jin'ao Island a reason to openly stand on the side of the demon clan.

"Someone, kick him out!" When Lin Youzi saw his senior brother speaking, he immediately waved his sleeves with disgust on his face.

"Wait a minute!" Prince Huang Ling waved his hand to stop the boy.

He thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Masters, even if our two families have no connection, I am here today to pay my respects to the elders of the demon clan as a member of the same clan. Is this how you treat guests on Jin'ao Island?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Youzi sneered: "Who is your fellow traveler? If I hadn't been taught by the Grandmaster Biyou and entered the Taiyi Xuanmen, followed the precepts and practiced Taoism, according to my temperament, I would have killed you, the evil beast who trespassed into the Black Water Margin!"

"Junior brother, shut up!"

Prince Huang Ling had a gloomy expression on his face. Thinking of the purpose of this trip, he could only suppress the anger and pride in his heart and did not flare up.

After a long while, Crown Prince Huang Ling took a deep breath, unclenched his fist, looked at Lin Youzi, and said with a fake smile: "The Taoist priest really has a good appearance."

Prince Huang Ling has seen how powerful these Jin'ao Taoists are. He knows that if he fights them head-on, he will definitely suffer losses and look humiliated.

What's more, the purpose of this trip was to persuade them to join the demon tribe in the war, so the fellow demons recommended Huang Ling, a man of good words and eloquence, to come to Jin'ao Island to invite them.

Huang Ling had inquired before coming here. Although most of these Taoists on Jin'ao Island were of demon origin, they regarded themselves as Taoists and called themselves Xuanmen. They all had unruly and strange personalities.

We need to impress people like this and invite them to come out.

It may not be enough to just show off power and force.

You also have to find ways to motivate them with words.

It turned out to be a water snake from the ravine that had cultivated into a human body. He wore feathered clothes and a star-shaped crown, and wore white socks and square shoes. From the back, he looked like an immortal. From the front, he had a snake head, and between his neck and cheeks, there were fine scales that had not yet shed.

"Haha, kid, when did I ever say that I am a 'human'?" Lin Youzi shook his head.

As expected! Without mentioning the factions and camps, and just using words to reason with him, the Taoist calmed down his anger. As expected, he has a strange temperament.

Huang Ling was thinking in his mind, pretending to be sarcastic: "Then may I ask, Taoist priest, why are you a wicked person on one hand, and a beast calling for your own kind on the other? Could it be that you were not born from an egg in the wetness, or covered with scales and horns?"

"No, I am neither a human nor an animal."

Lin Youzi raised his head and stood up, pointing at the ring on his forehead: "I am a Taoist priest. Since I entered the Tao, my master touched my head and gave me the precepts, which required me to cut off the six relatives, the six worldly things, the six dusts, and the six roots. I am neither a human, nor an animal, nor a fairy, nor a ghost."

"Okay, okay, that's a good way to put it, but it's a bit unfilial, disloyal, unjust, and unkind." Huang Ling clapped his hands, but his tone became more sarcastic.

All the younger disciples of Jin'ao Island glared at him angrily: "You..."

Lin Youzi waved his hands to stop his fellow disciples who were about to tear Huang Ling alive. He looked at Huang Ling and said, "What a joke! You are a demon, but you are also learning to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous like humans. How ridiculous."

"In the ancient times, the Three Sovereigns created laws and established rules, and the sages spread the scriptures and governed the world. The sages were weak as a chicken, but with just a word they could make tigers and wolves retreat, and all the tribes in the ancient world submit to them; billions of birds and beasts became enlightened and attained the Tao after hearing their preaching. How can I not be able to preach?" Huang Ling said with a smile.

As he spoke, Huang Ling took out a feather fan from somewhere and waved it around, looking very powerful, with a feather fan and a long scarf, and looking very dignified.

He doesn't look like a monster, but rather like a great scholar in the world.

Seeing that everyone on Jin'ao Island was looking at him in surprise, Prince Huang Ling felt very proud.

He was born into a prominent demon family and had a profound family education, but he was a true "cultured" demon.

Faced with Huang Ling's words, Lin Youzi's tone choked.

His eloquence was still a little lacking after all. He was frowning and thinking deeply, not knowing what to say or whether to lose his temper or get angry.

The senior brother Lu Xizi who was playing chess opposite him smiled and twirled his beard: "Since you say that we are disloyal, unkind, unjust, and unfilial, please tell me the truth. If you can't tell me the truth, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Jin'ao today."

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll offend you."

The yellow feather fan waved, and he spoke eloquently: "The sage said: All things in the universe, whether they are born from eggs or covered with fur and horns, are born from parents. Haven't you heard of 'black fish eats its young', 'lambs kneel to suckle', 'black crows repay their parents'... You Taoist priests who cut off your relatives and do not serve your parents are unfilial."

This means that after giving birth, the old mullet becomes blind and unable to hunt; in order to prevent the mother from starving to death, the mullet eggs will rush into the mother's mouth.

Crows will chew their food into pieces; spit out food to old crows that have lost their beaks, claws and teeth and are unable to move, and so on.

“Unfortunately, my parents had already died of old age before I entered the Dao;

When one’s spiritual wisdom is obscured, fortunately one is enlightened by the master and then one knows one’s own nature; parents are actually the master; the master’s kindness cannot be repaid even if one dies a thousand times, so one makes a great vow to become a monk and serve the master for life, which is filial piety…” Lu Xizi stroked the white beard under his chin.

"Okay; since you all are also from the demon race; facing the threats from human cultivators, Senior Huanyue, who is also from the demon race, has pleaded for help many times." Huang Ling nodded.

He looked around at everyone and said loudly, "You Taoist priests have repeatedly turned a blind eye and even taken the opportunity to kill the monsters to practice magic. Isn't this unkind and unjust?"

Taoist Luxi chuckled calmly, "Otherwise, although we are from the demon race, we have been practicing with our master. We have not received any favors from the demon race, nor have we practiced the demon race's methods. We have no connection with the demon races. Why would we take action?"

"Furthermore, we have learned the Qi Refining Method from our Master, and we have received great kindness from him. We are like bloodline disciples. If our Master wants to be a demon, then we are the demons. If our Master is a Taoist, then we are the Taoists. If our Master is a demon, then we are the demons."

"This is the most benevolent and righteous thing, so how can it be unkind and unrighteous?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Taoists on Jin'ao Island cheered secretly, and even Taoist Xingxiu looked at the second junior brother as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

He didn't expect that his second junior brother, who usually seemed to be calm and taciturn, could be so eloquent.

Prince Huang Ling frowned and was also a little surprised.

"Well, well, well, the Taoist priest is knowledgeable, his words are meaningful, and what he said makes sense."

Huang Ling was not discouraged. He changed the subject: "But as far as I know, there are five categories and ten types of races in the heavens. Ghosts are under the jurisdiction of the Great King of Hell, humans are under the jurisdiction of the King of Man, beasts pay homage to Yuan Si, birds pay homage to Zhen Huang, and fish and shrimps are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King."

"As far as I know, Patriarch Biyou is a golden silkworm. According to the rules, he should worship the True Phoenix and be under the jurisdiction of the Qin King. But now the Qin King's prince has summoned him, but he refuses to obey. Isn't this disloyalty?"

"Or, could it be that the Taoist priests of Jin'ao Island have given up and want to worship the Sixth Patriarch of Xuanmen?"

What this means is to find out indirectly which side Jin'ao Island will stand on.

If you stand on the side of the demon clan, then it's easy. Just negotiate how much blood you should pay and what price you should pay. As long as the demon clan can afford it, they will give it.

If we stand on the side of the human race, then we will all be enemies in the future and there will be no possibility of negotiation.

This time, although Lu Xizi was still confident, he did not answer rashly.

Instead, he turned his gaze towards the eldest senior brother.

Not only Lu Xizi, but Yu Chan and Lin Youzi were also secretly watching Xing Xiu Taoist's reaction.

As for which side to take, the people on Jin'ao Island had already made a plan.

But these words have to be said by the master or the eldest senior brother, because of their status, they cannot say them easily.

Taoist Xingxiu stared at the tense Huang Ling, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Huang Ling, even if you stand on Kunwu's side, my Jin'ao Island will not kill you again." However, Prince Huang Ling did not relax at all, staring into his eyes and secretly performing magic.

He planned to cast a spell and run away as soon as anything went wrong.

"What Prince Huang Ling said is true. Patriarch Biyou was born into a demon clan. Although we are from the Taiyi Xuanmen, we are not the Xuanmen of the Sixth Patriarch. We are Qi-refining practitioners of the demon clan's Xuanmen." Taoist Xingxiu said indifferently.

Jin'ao Island is located between two major forces and is now involved in the dispute between Zhaoyue and Yueyue, and is trying to fish in troubled waters; of course it has to take sides.

These words were already conveyed to Xingxiu by the second soul.

"The Xuanmen of the demon clan, so, the Taoist priests are worshipping the King of Birds?" Prince Huang Ling was pleasantly surprised, and unconsciously felt a little bit of pride coming from his noble bloodline.

If you stand on the side of the demon clan, you will of course be subject to their jurisdiction.

In the ancient times, there were countless monsters and tens of thousands of species; there were more than a dozen true saints, and the Huangling clan regarded itself as the leader of the birds in the West.

Naturally, he wanted to bring Jin'ao Island under his control.

"Otherwise, we cannot go to the six sects of Xuanmen, nor submit to the rule of the Human King or the Beast King. We are Qigong practitioners, a separate lineage from those overseas, and we are the Xuanmen of the demon clan. The Patriarch Biyou Tongtian is the Lord of Law and Taoism." The Taoist Xingxiu did not hesitate.

“This… May I ask how long is the immortal Master Biyou? How dare he say such a thing…” Prince Huang Ling took a breath of cold air, a little dumbfounded.

He did not utter the word "courage".

He finally understood the implication, which was that the Jin'ao Island Biyou Patriarch wanted to be on equal terms with the Six Religions Patriarchs and the Primordial True Saint, and even... have a contest with them.

Huang Ling was extremely shocked. Who is this... this Patriarch Biyou Tongtian? What magical powers does he have to be so arrogant!
Taoist Xingxiu smiled proudly: "Well, he once said that the Tao judged the universe, and he saw the two yin and yang give birth to the four symbols, and the heaven and the world were opened. Since ancient times, few people have known the Tao."

"Hiss...this!" Huang Ling looked at the auspicious Zizhi Cliff in the distance in disbelief.

Not only Huang Ling, but even his fellow apprentice brothers such as Lin Youzi were startled and took a deep breath.

Immediately, they looked at Xingxiu Taoist with shock on their faces, and then looked at Zizhi Cliff with reverence, fanaticism, and surprise.

The origins of the Master were extremely mysterious; as disciples, they did not know it, and had never heard the Master talk about it.

This is the first time I have heard of this origin.

They were all trying to figure out what this meant.

Tao judges Hongmeng, which means that a bit of wisdom is born in Hongmeng's innate nature, and should be regarded as a kind of innate Tao Qi.

See with your own eyes how the heaven and earth and all things were created and born.

He created the world and saved the world; that is, he came into being when the heaven and earth were created, and lived in the world. He has been a separate faction since ancient times, but he has always lived in seclusion from the world, and few people know his identity.

Good guy, good guy.

"Master, please stop lying to me. I haven't read much, but I know the names of the gods and demons in ancient times. I have never heard of the name of the Biyou Patriarch in ancient times..."

Before Huang Ling finished speaking, Taoist Xingxiu shook his head and interrupted: "My ancestor follows the wind and is formless and invisible. Although he was born early, before all the saints, he attained enlightenment and became famous late. How can you know?"

Huang Ling half believed and half doubted, then asked in surprise: "So, doesn't that mean that Patriarch Biyou has already achieved immortality? Is he a true saint?"

“I don’t know about this. I don’t expect that he has surpassed the level of a true saint or has cultivated a body that is indestructible.” Taoist Xingxiu’s face was full of fanaticism.

He really didn't know.

He only knew that his master had said, "From now on, when you go out, you will give yourself an identity."

He was thinking, with his master's extraordinary powers and immortal body, how could he not be indestructible?
Anyway, whether it is his fellow disciples or people who know him in the cultivation world, they all know that he, Xingxiu Taoist, has a loyal and honest face and is honest and straightforward.

Never tell a lie.

"As for the magical powers of my ancestor?"

Seeing that Huang Ling and his fellow disciples were all staring at him, Taoist Xingxiu decided to keep a low profile and waved his hand.

Suddenly, everyone came over.

Taoist Xingxiu said in a low voice: "Old Man, he can ascend to the clouds and travel around the sky, the void, the dark and chaotic world; he can dive into the abyss; with a single ray of divine light, billions of ghosts are reborn; where he points his finger, nine rivers and ten thousand feet of mountains split; when he exhales, dust and sand and stones fly all over the universe; he changes in a thousand ways, hiding his form and changing his appearance, even to the point of confusing you; he can command the emotions of the world, water, fire, wind, and thunder at will..."

"Good, good, good! So you have such great magical powers, which are not inferior to our Great Sage. No wonder you can be said to have opened up the Xuanmen lineage of the demon clan. It is my fault for being rude and impolite!" Huang Ling's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Having said that, he hurried towards the direction of Zizhi Cliff and bowed three times.

He never doubted that Taoist Xingxiu was bragging.

The three mountains and five peaks, the heavens and all the realms, especially the powerful ones, can all be calculated.

No one can fake the supernatural power of roots.

If you dare to brag a lot, you must have at least 80% confidence.

No wonder when I came, Patriarch Huanyue, who was of such a high status, gave me many warnings and told me not to act like the prince of the demon clan.

It is said that the Lord of Jin'ao Island is the reincarnation of a powerful ancient figure, who recently survived a severe calamity and achieved enlightenment.

At that time, all the demon elders, including the older generation Dao Miao like King Huang Xie, although they did not know the specific background of Tongtian Patriarch, all believed that they should view this Tongtian Patriarch as "Dao Miao".

And now according to what his disciples said, his following is not false.

Then at least compared with the status of my grandfather, the Golden Immortal Great Sage, it is not overestimated.

Even though he had survived nine death situations and survived three disasters and entered the realm of Tongxuan just half a year or a year ago under the watchful eyes of the powerful beings in the heavens.

But these ancient figures, who reincarnated to cultivate the Dao fruit, were not restricted by any realm. It was possible that they could jump from Tongxuan to Daomiao in just a few days, and then quickly re-attain the quasi-Hunyuan realm that was indestructible from Daomiao.

After all, they achieved enlightenment in ancient times in their previous lives and practiced for more than tens or millions of years. They had great supernatural powers and mastered various ancient secret techniques and magic weapons. Their Taoism was especially high, almost as high as that of the Master of Hunyuan.

The shackles of the realm are like a joke to this ancient monster, and it cannot be overcome by common sense.

"It seems that the price we gave before was indeed underestimated. No wonder Jin'ao Island refused the meeting. How can the ancestor of my Yao family only give a few boxes of spiritual medicine..." Prince Huang Ling complained in his heart.

"If it were me, with my status as an ancient figure, I would have killed the first two waves of demons who sent boxes of spiritual medicine to invite me. This is simply a humiliation!"

"Fortunately, the old master Biyou seemed to be in seclusion, so it was his disciples who came forward, and they were kind and benevolent! Fortunately, we haven't completely offended this Jin'ao Island!"

"No, we have to at least add a few innate precious medicines. Even if we can't get the help of the Taoist priests from Jin'ao Island, we must not let them side with Kunwu!" Prince Huang Ling's eyes rolled around, and he kept calculating in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Huang Ling, if you have anything else to say, just speak frankly." Taoist Xingxiu patted him again.

Waking up the silent Crown Prince Huang Ling, he bowed slightly and said, "Masters, to be honest, I am here to ask you to come down the mountain to help me."

The Taoist priests looked disgusted and seemed about to refuse.

Huang Ling quickly added: "Of course, it is inappropriate for you Taoist priests, who have left home to practice Buddhism, to be involved in worldly affairs and kill people. Therefore, on behalf of Boyue Villa, I am willing to offer you some courtesy."

Taoist Xingxiu seemed to be interested when he heard this, and looked at him: "Oh? I wonder what kind of offerings can be made?"

"If any Taoist priest comes out to help us, we will give him a thousand-year-old elixir. No matter how many Taoist priests there are, every capable Taoist priest will receive this treatment. If...if the old master is willing to come out to teach us a thing or two, we will give him an extra innate elixir!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to lack interest, Huang Ling thought for a moment and coughed lightly, "Ahem, the old master has great magical powers and a high generation. If he comes out, we, the evil sects, demons, and independent people of the Three Mountains and Nine Waters, are willing to regard him as the leader of the Zhaoyue Fighting."

That is, if the second incarnation of the soul comes out, the old demon Huanyue will abdicate and be willing to be under it, with Jin'ao Island as the leader.

"Oh? You can make the decision on this too?" Taoist Xingxiu asked in surprise, seeming to be thinking about something.

"It can be done. Senior Huanyue is also a man of virtue. If the old master is really willing to come out of seclusion, I will agree on Senior Huanyue's behalf." Huang Ling said affirmatively.

"Haha, what a pity, my ancestor is not very interested in this; he has already gone into seclusion." Taoist Xingxiu shook his head.

“Ah… then…” Huang Ling looked surprised, but he had already expected it in his heart.

How could a senior of that rank, proud of his status, enter so easily?

"Then it's fine for all of you Taoist priests to come out of the mountains. What do you think?"

"No big deal." Taoist Xingxiu waved his hand and turned around.

The rest of the fellow disciples also cooperated well and immersed themselves in their own things. It seemed that no one had any interest in the thousand-year-old elixir.

"Then Master Yi, as long as you come out of the mountain, you tell me what etiquette you want. As long as the demon tribe has it, I will discuss and purchase it." Huang Ling said without hesitation.

"Before Master went into seclusion, he issued a clear order prohibiting our participation."

"But of course you can ask us to take action. I want the innate spiritual treasure!" Xingxiu Taoist finally turned around and said with a smile.

"What? Innate spiritual treasure!" Huang Ling's voice choked.
