Chapter 148 Three Lives, Three Worlds (16)
Only the bloodstains on the ground remain as a testament to the tragedy that once unfolded here.
Wangyou continued walking towards the place where there was life, and soon saw another complex array pattern. It didn't seem to be a later study, but rather an array pattern that existed innately.
Even with Wangyou's mastery of formations, there's no way to break it directly for the time being.
Wangyou wasn't in a hurry, so she simply sat down and began to study the array patterns on it. As for the little guy inside, whether it could hold out until she went in depended on its luck.
Cultivation knows no time, and the time spent studying array patterns became exceptionally fast. It took Wangyou three hundred years to finally thoroughly understand these forty-nine array patterns and finally open them.
This place is special; the walls are made of special materials and are decorated with many luminous pearls, illuminating the room brightly. Wangyou also saw a small silver fox coiled on the futon in the center, and above the futon was a portrait.
But this portrait is strange, because no matter how hard Wangyou tries, she can't make out the man's appearance in the portrait. However, since it is in the forbidden area of the Tushan Nine-Tailed Clan, it must be the Tushan Ancestor.
However, even the portrait left behind by this person is so mysterious that Wangyou, with her current cultivation level, cannot see through it. Comparing this with the current situation in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, a sentence popped into Wangyou's mind: "When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king."
Wangyou did not approach the little fox rashly, but instead bowed solemnly to the portrait. "Senior, I don't know if you have left any tricks in this portrait, but I have to make things clear. The Tushan clan was wiped out for some reason, and this little fox is the only survivor. Its aura is very weak now. If you have no objection, I will examine it!"
After saying that, the portrait did not react, and Wangyou did not say anything more. She just kept a close watch on her surroundings and then walked towards the little fox.
Fortunately, the portrait remained unresponsive, and Wangyou successfully picked up the little fox, which was barely clinging to life.
Wangyou took out the pills she carried with her and fed the little fox several at once. The little fox's aura was noticeably stronger than before.
I have to say, foxes are quite cute. Their fur is so fluffy and feels amazing to the touch. Plus, it has nine tails, enough for Wangyou to braid. It's just that this little fox has been alone for a long time, so its fur isn't as smooth. It needs to be taken good care of.
Wangyou carried the little fox around the small forbidden area, but found nothing useful. Finally, she walked up to the portrait again.
“Senior, I never do business at a loss. I performed the ritual to help the souls of your Tushan clan pass on, but there’s nothing of value left in the entire Tushan. After thinking it over, I think this painting of yours is the most suspicious. I need to see if there’s anything good behind it. I’m sorry to offend you!” Wangyou bowed and then reached out to take the painting down.
"You little girl, you're quite the impudent one!" As the voice appeared, a faint, ethereal figure floated out from the portrait.
"So he really is still alive!" Wangyou said, taking a step back and looking at the illusory figure.
However, Wangyou finally got a clear look at the man's face. As expected of a fox, his fox eyes were incredibly beautiful, and his appearance was absolutely stunning. Wangyou had never seen such a handsome person before, except for herself, of course.
"So you're a little girl from the Dragon Clan, but the aura around you feels a bit strange to me. It feels like you're from the same era as me!" the purple-robed man said, circling Wangyou for a while.
"Are you the founding ancestor of the Tushan clan, senior?"
"Yes and no, I am the ancestor, but I did not start the mountain."
"Oh, so you're still alive?"
"I died long ago, and now I am just a lingering remnant of my spirit. The calamity that befell the Tushan clan was foreshadowed, but I never expected to be betrayed by my closest kin. However, because of your appearance, my Tushan clan has managed to preserve a bloodline, preventing its complete extinction!"
"So, what are the benefits?"
"Ah, well, I'm an old man and I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep!" In a flash, the man disappeared.
Wangyou paused for a moment, but still didn't touch the portrait again. There was nothing else to it; her gains from those forty-nine array patterns alone were enormous.
Wangyou left the Tushan clan's territory without looking back, taking the little fox with her. After Wangyou left, the man in the portrait reappeared, completely hiding the entire Tushan clan's territory.
Wangyou took the little fox to Qingqiu to watch the excitement. Unexpectedly, today was the day the Heavenly Clan came to propose marriage. Crown Prince Ye Hua of the Heavenly Clan was also with a child, who should be the child from back then.
As for Bai Qian, although Bai Zhi and his wife gave her the potion of forgetfulness, Wang You still sensed the deeply hidden aura of inner demons, but it was unknown when it would erupt.
Perhaps because she had just come from the territory of the Tushan clan, Wangyou now felt that everything in Qingqiu was imbued with a bloody aura, and the entire Qingqiu seemed like a giant blood bag.
Wangyou rubbed her eyes, but there was still no change. Everyone in Qingqiu was covered in blood and black energy. Could it be that the backlash had begun?
But looking at the behavior of the Qingqiu family, it seems they didn't notice anything, or perhaps they created all of this themselves.
Wangyou felt her thoughts were a bit chaotic, so she decided to take a trip to the Celestial Realm. First, she went to see the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Good heavens, Donghua's magical power was reduced to less than one-tenth, and most of his original merits had also been lost.
Wangyou couldn't help but do some quick calculations, and all she wanted to do was spit in Donghua's face. In her eyes, the immortal still hanging in the portrait was nothing but scum.
This guy felt that if he crossed his name off the Three Lives Stone, he would no longer be able to reciprocate Bai Fengjiu's feelings. But he was cunning and planned to make up for Bai Fengjiu's feelings in the mortal world. Then, a perfectly good dynasty was destroyed a few years after Donghua's death because the monarch was incompetent and the country had no successor.
Then this guy came back and forgot about it, and then reincarnated his shadow into that Brahma Valley, creating something called Aranya's Dream, which turned Brahma Valley from having four distinct seasons into one with snow all year round.
This is something only a human being would do!
It serves this bastard right that he lost all his magical power and merits. But it's all for the best. Once Donghua has completely squandered all his merits, the pillar of the world will have to be brought back.
Thinking of this, Wangyou decided to still send a wisp of her divine sense to monitor Donghua, lest this guy cut out his heart to make a ring to prove his sincerity. If the pillar of the world is incomplete, it will still have an impact on the development of the world.
After doing all this, Wangyou still felt a little regretful. Donghua and the others clearly knew that Wangyou was a variable, and they may have sensed the difference, but they still let themselves get caught up in it.
They brought this on themselves, they deserve it!
Afterwards, Wangyou took the little fox back to her dojo. Now everything was ready, and she was just waiting for the right time. However, Wangyou always felt that she had forgotten the most crucial link.
After all, it's not something Qingqiu could accomplish by scheming to involve so many ancient gods.
