Prologue

Legend has it that when the world was first created, there were twelve spiritual veins in the world, which were the source of all living things. Seven of them fell in the ancient land of Xianyuan on earth. Therefore, the luck of the world was the most prosperous, but ordinary people often could not practice cultivation. As a result, over time, the world became a place where demons ran rampant.

Until ten thousand years ago, a strange man suddenly appeared in the world, calling the wind and rain, and doing everything humanly possible. In just seven days, all the demons retreated, and he passed on the art of moving mountains and filling the sea, which was omnipotent. Later generations respectfully called him the Green Emperor.

In the ten thousand years since then, countless people have entered the world to cultivate immortals, and the ancient land of Xianyuan has ushered in an unprecedented prosperity. However, the good times did not last long. Perhaps because of the long period of comfort, people have long forgotten the dark days of their ancestors ten thousand years ago. Today, the various factions have become fame-seeking and profit-seeking, and intrigue.

Perhaps it is because all things in the world are balanced by yin and yang, and prosperity will inevitably decline, and decline will eventually prosper. Three hundred years ago, the demon sect flourished and suddenly invaded Xianyuan Middle Earth. Several major demon sects joined forces and almost killed all the sects of the Xianyuan Ancient Land, causing the entire Xianyuan Ancient Land to flow with blood.

At the critical moment, the Xuanqing Sect located in the middle of the Xianyuan Ancient Land saw seven mysterious lights on the mountain rushing straight to the sky, as if a thousand feet of rosy clouds shone brightly in the world, and then seven people came down, just seven people, like the reincarnation of the Qing Emperor, each showing their magical powers. Within ten days, they pacified the demon bandits in the world, and several major demon sect leaders were finally defeated and fled.

After that, the Xuanqing Sect became famous and became the leader of the righteous way in Xianyuan Middle Earth. The name of "Xuanqing Seven Venerables" was known to everyone. But three hundred years later, the demon sects seemed to be ready to move again, and there was a faint trend of a comeback...

...

It was late autumn, and the cold wind was blowing at the foot of the mountain. In this wilderness, there was a bit more solemn and murderous meaning.

Thirty miles west of Xuanqing Mountain, there is an ancient village with more than 400 people living there. However, overnight, it became a ruin, filled with turbid demonic air. More than 400 people died overnight.

Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded, and three sword lights suddenly flew from the sky, turning into three people, and landed lightly on the pile of rocks outside the village.

The three people had extraordinary auras, and the first one, the woman in green, was the most awe-inspiring. She held a jade flute in her hand, and the whole person was like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman descending to the earth. When she stood there, she added a bit of vitality to this desolate mountain.

There was also a man in green and a woman in red behind them, but the cultivation of these two people seemed far inferior to that of the woman in green in front.

"The turbid air here is unusual, be careful."

The woman in green concentrated her finger and made a stroke. As she spoke, two green rays flew out from her fingertips, instantly covering the two people behind with a layer of protective true essence.

"Thank you, Junior Sister."

The three entered the village and saw the collapsed houses and bloodstains all over the ground. It was a horrible sight. The man in green said angrily, "The demons came for me, Xuanqing, but they killed innocent people here, adding hundreds of wronged souls. It's really hateful!"

"Whether it was done by those demon sects, it is still unclear. Junior brother should be careful about what he says."

"Shh..."

Just as the two were talking, the woman in green suddenly made a gesture to silence. Only a burst of intermittent sounds came from the east village. The three walked quickly and came to the corner of a collapsed wall. They heard the faint cry of a baby under the wall.

The two people behind were both startled. This place was shrouded in turbid demonic energy. Not to mention the baby, even an adult man might not last more than three quarters of an hour. What's going on?

While the two were puzzled, the woman in green had already brushed away the broken wall with one palm. They saw a baby in the corner of the wall. However, the thick turbid air around it had already invaded the baby's internal organs, and it was obvious that it would not survive.

The woman in green leaned over and picked up the baby. Due to the invasion of turbid air, the baby's face turned a little purple. It was a one-month-old baby boy, with a blood jade tied around his neck, which looked a little weird.

The woman in red came over and said hesitantly, "The turbid qi has entered the samadhi. I'm afraid he can't be saved. Moreover, even if he survives, the turbid qi has already invaded his samadhi. Who knows, in the future..."

The two were shocked to see that the junior sister was silent. The man in green said anxiously, "Junior sister, you must not do this! Master said that you have a catastrophe coming. If you consume a lot of immortal essence at this time, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, the woman in green had already condensed immortal essence, and with two fingers, she pointed at the baby's eyebrows. The two were secretly shocked. It was too late to say anything else.

To remove the turbid qi from the baby's body, you can only use immortal essence to draw it out. To extend the baby's life, you can only use immortal essence to exchange for life essence. They know that with the junior sister's Taoism, it is not difficult to bring one person back to life, but saving this baby at this moment is more difficult than saving ten thousand people!

Finally, when the turbid air in the baby's body was gone, the two people beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief. The baby's life was temporarily saved, but the junior sister had suffered too much damage today, and it was unknown how long it would take for her to recover.

The man in green sighed lightly, walked forward and looked at the baby boy who was already sleeping peacefully in her arms. The junior sister saved the baby boy today, and this cause and effect was established. In the future, there might be a bond. Could this baby be the junior sister's last earthly calamity...

The wind blew gently, and the woman in green looked at the baby boy in her arms. She is now one of the seven Xuanqing masters. She has always been indifferent to the life and death of mortals. I don't know why she insisted on saving this baby today.

Just as the three were silent, a cold wind suddenly blew in the northwest, and a bloody smell swept across the fields. The man in green and the woman in red were both shocked, "Who is it!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a 100-foot-long blood mist sweeping across the sky. In an instant, the entire ancient village was filled with dark winds, and the blood mist shrouded the air like hundreds of ghosts roaring. The shrill and sharp sounds were heard endlessly, making people's scalp numb.

Seeing the blood mist getting closer and closer, the man in green and the woman in red quickly took out their magic weapons and hit them. However, with a "bang", the two magic weapons were knocked back together, which in turn shocked both of them. He kept retreating, and for a moment he couldn't even stand firmly.

"Hahahaha... Xuanqing Taoism is just in name!"

A burst of sharp and ear-piercing laughter came from the blood mist. The man in green and the woman in red were both shocked. The person who came here was of great virtue and was probably no ordinary demon!

"You monster, you haven't shown yourself yet!"

The green-clothed woman's eyes turned cold, she held the baby in her left hand, and with a swipe of her right hand, a 100-foot green light suddenly shot out, with a roar, shaking the surrounding areas, and immediately dispersed the thick blood mist in the air.

When the blood mist dissipated, a person appeared in the low sky. The person had white hair shawl, blood-red eyes, and a heavy aura of blood on his body. The man in green clothes and the woman in red clothes immediately exclaimed in unison, "Nine Yin Blood Demon!"

"Ha ha!"

The Nine Yin Blood Demon raised his head and smiled, but his eyes fell solely on the woman in green clothes. He smiled sinisterly, "I haven't seen you in a hundred years, Fairy Miaoyin, you are very good at what you do..."

Fairy Miaoyin's eyes were as cold as ice, and she said coldly, "Xiao Cangtian, you came to my Xuanqing Mountain today, are you just throwing yourself into a trap?"

The Nine Yin Blood Demon laughed, "Do you think I want to come? I am..."

Looking at his appearance at this time, it seems that he is being chased by someone, so he strayed into the Xuanqing Realm. However, with this demon's behavior, everyone can't avoid it. Who has the ability to chase him? I'm just afraid something is fishy!

Fairy Miaoyin's eyes were cold and she didn't say anything. She swiped her fingers and sent out a sword energy of a hundred feet. In an instant, the situation suddenly changed. The Nine Yin Blood Demon was startled. He quickly started to use his magic power. A thick mist of blood immediately appeared. Shrouded in the vast surroundings, a dark wind blew up in the air, like the roar of thousands of ghosts, and the shrill sounds could be heard endlessly.

"Junior sister, be careful!"

The man in Tsing Yi was worried that his junior sister had suffered too much in rescuing the baby boy. At this time, the continuous movement of energy might damage her moral character. However, before he could finish his words, Fairy Miaoyin instantly turned into a ray of green light and rushed towards the Nine Yin Blood Demon. The two of them When they fight together, it looks like two bright lights, one red and one blue, intertwined in the air.

After half a stick of incense, the Nine-Yin Blood Demon was finally defeated. He shouted in a deep voice, "You forced me!" At the end of the sentence, regardless of his own backlash, he activated the Nine-fold Demonic Art again, killing the man in green and the woman in red. Zhen flew out.

"evil creature."

Fairy Miaoyin's eyes turned cold. Before she finished speaking, her whole body was enveloped by a hundred feet of green light. When her two fingers were put together, a cold green light condensed on her fingertips, like the edge of a sword, and she instantly pointed towards the Nine Yin Blood Demon. This move was like thunder. , unstoppable!

"Oops……"

The Nine Yin Blood Demon was shocked. The backlash in his body was already coming, and he could no longer dodge. With a "bang" sound, the finger hit him between the eyebrows. He was immediately shocked, blood rushed out of his mouth, and his whole body went to Then he flew out.

"ah--"

The Nine Yin Blood Demon was hit right between the eyebrows by the "Thirty-Three Layers Xuantian Finger", and he immediately became even more crazy. Two streams of blood flowed out of his eyes, and his appearance became extremely terrifying. Fairy Miaoyin was about to pursue him, but was struck by his blood mist. Shocked, he was forced back by the shock.

"Ling Yin! I will repay you ten times as much as you pointed out! Ah——"

The Nine Yin Blood Demon looked like he was going crazy. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned into a blood mist and fled to the northeast.

"Junior sister, how are you?"

The woman in red clothes hurriedly ran over, worried that the junior sister had suffered too much loss before, and now she was attacked by the Nine Yin Blood Demon on the verge of death, so she was afraid that something might be wrong.

"fine."

Fairy Miaoyin shook her head. It turned out that she was Ling Yin, one of the seven Xuanqing deities, "Sir Yaoguang". Her cultivation had already reached the level of a saint, and she was known as Fairy Miaoyin. The other two were her former senior sister Mei Jianyi and her senior brother. Jiangnan Liu's cultivation is far inferior to hers.

"Wait a minute, the direction Xiao Cangtian is going is... Oops!"

Ling Yin looked at the direction where the blood demon was escaping, his face changed slightly, and he immediately chased after him. However, just after chasing for more than ten miles, he suddenly let out a muffled groan. Jiang Nanliu saw her expression was different and asked, "What's wrong?" ?”

"It's okay... chase me quickly."

The three of them chased to the bottom of Xuanqing Hou Mountain. Night was approaching, and everything was blurry. They asked in confusion, "Did that devil run into this place?"

Ling Yin frowned slightly. Originally, she didn't want to alarm the other nobles, but the matter was so important at the moment, so she had no choice but to send her spiritual thoughts back to the mountain. Within a moment, she saw a few golden rays of light reflecting off the mountain, and she immediately restrained them. The formation blocked the entire Xuanqing back mountain.

The sky was a little darker again, Ling Yin was silent and concentrated, Xiao Cangtian would never break into the Xuanqing Realm without any reason. There must be something fishy about today's matter, so he could only go back and discuss it with the other lords.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and then glanced at the sleeping baby boy in Junior Sister's arms, "Junior Sister, you plan to... bring this baby back to the mountain, right?"

Ling Yin looked at the sleeping baby in her arms, and gradually fell into meditation again. She was silent between her brows, and said anxiously, "Master said that you are going to have a serious disaster. Saving this child's life today has already affected the world." You should understand most clearly about cause and effect. We cultivators must resolve all earthly causes and effects, otherwise..."

"I know."

Ling Yin's eyes were calm and he said slowly, "I will send him to Ningcun later and let Wu Niang raise him. In this life, he will have nothing to do with me."

After hearing this, the two of them finally calmed down. Ling Yin looked at the two of them again, "It's already getting late. You should go back first. There is no need to make any publicity about laughing to the sky for the time being." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned into a ray of blue light. Went in the direction of Ningcun.

Ningcun is at the foot of Xuanqing Mountain, not far from here. When Ling Yin arrived, it was already dark.

There were hundreds of families living in the village, and all of them had gone to bed early at this time. Ling Yin quietly walked into a courtyard and saw two small mud houses in the courtyard. One of them had the lights turned off, and the other one was still lit with candles.

Arriving in front of the house, Ling Yin gently knocked on the door twice. When the woman in the house saw someone coming, she immediately put down her work and came to open the door. When she saw that the person who came was actually Yao Guang Zun from Xuan Qing Sect, she was stunned. "Lingyin Shangxian..."

"Shhh."

Ling Yin made a silence gesture, and the two of them entered the house. Wu Niang was very panicked. Ten years ago, she had a relationship with the Yaoguang Master. What happened today has attracted the attention of the dignified Master of the Xuanqing Sect? Come to this small village in person?

"This child is..."

At this time, Wu Niang noticed the baby in her hands. Ling Yin explained the whole story clearly. Wu Niang was very happy after hearing this. She quickly took the baby from her hand and held it in her hands. Not willing to give up either.

Seeing her appearance at this moment, Ling Yin couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After a long time, Wu Niang raised her head again and looked at her earnestly, "Your Majesty... have you given this child a name?"

Ling Yin thought for a while, then looked outside at the bleak scene shrouded in night, and after a long time said, "Then my surname is Xiao, my given name is Chen, and my given name... I'll call her Yichen in the future."

"Yichen...Yichen, okay, okay!"

Wu Niang held the baby in her hands tightly, thinking in her heart, she didn’t know in which life this child had the blessing of being named by Lord Yaoguang. If outsiders knew that his name was given by Lord Yaoguang, Guang It is a name that will be respected by the world in the future, but I am afraid that this matter cannot be known to outsiders.

Ling Yin added, "Wu Niang, only you know about this. Don't let others know. When he grows up, don't mention it to him. Let him... live a good life in this world."

Wu Niang was stunned for a moment, but kept nodding her head, "Okay, okay..."

"Yes." Ling Yin nodded slightly, and finally took off the strange-looking blood jade from the baby's neck and put it into his sleeve. Before leaving, he said, "By the way, there is one more thing. Recently, There are often ferocious beasts in the back mountain. Tomorrow day, you tell the people in the village to try not to go there again." After saying that, he went outside, and a sword light disappeared into the depths of the clouds in an instant.
