Chapter 27 Young Master of the Qilin Clan
Noticing Mo Yuan's expression, Hou Tu revealed a meaningful smile.
If Mo Yuan hadn't already been entangled in a master-disciple relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun and hadn't caught the eye of Taiqing Laozi, the leader of the Human Sect, she might have had a proper conversation with this junior of the Qilin Clan.
As Mo Yuan said, all living things have their own way of survival. Perhaps Mo Yuan is outwardly gentle but inwardly firm, inwardly principled but outwardly flexible. His Dao heart is extremely resilient, even more so than that of ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals.
Mo Yuan's ability to find his own path at the True Immortal realm and to persevere on it is an extremely rare existence in this primordial world.
Houtu then turned her gaze to the Primordial Mirror. She gently flipped through the pages, reading through the Chaos Era, the Creation Era, and the Order Era, before turning to the next page.
The more she looked, the more alarmed she became.
The Primordial Mirror has nine chapters, and each chapter encompasses a vast array of things. Could a true immortal have come up with such a thing?
"If this monumental work is completed, Mo Yuan may be able to directly attain enlightenment and become one of the best among quasi-saints, and the Primordial Mirror itself will also become a treasure of merit."
"This young friend seems quiet and unassuming, but he is actually more insightful than I imagined."
Houtu looked at Mo Yuan with a strange expression, pondering to herself.
In the primordial world, the most important thing is not just one's origins, cultivation level, and foundation, but also the ability to survive and continuously improve oneself.
Given Mo Yuan's personality, he would naturally be able to survive in such a precarious situation. Moreover, he has the potential to become a Quasi-Saint, making it worthwhile for her to forge a good relationship with him.
"This ancestral witch is not easy to deal with!"
Mo Yuan appeared harmless, but he was plotting how to escape.
no way.
Being with a quasi-saint like Houtu put him under immense pressure. He had to show respect as a junior, avoid appearing obsequious, and conceal his own sharpness.
I'm so tired, so mentally exhausted!
Heavenly Lord is the best; I have no secrets from him.
"Here you go!"
Houtu flicked her finger, and the Primordial Mirror flew back to Mo Yuan's side.
"It was wrong of me to test you just now. This is the Earth Core Jade Mother's Milk, which evolved from the depths of Buzhou Mountain's veins. I believe it can help you, so consider it my compensation!"
"And as for Rui'ai Valley, if you like, I can help you remove it from Buzhou Mountain!"
Houtu's tone softened as she spoke slowly to Mo Yuan.
A jade bottle floated in front of Mo Yuan, containing the Earth Core Jade Breast Milk. He had previously lamented that the Earth Core Jade Breast Milk in the pool had disappeared when he was in Rui'ai Valley, but he never expected that he would have the opportunity to come into contact with this spiritual liquid of heaven and earth.
In an instant, Mo Yuan felt a slight liking for this Ancestral Witch.
With a slightly serious expression, Mo Yuan replied, "This junior thanks the Goddess Houtu for bestowing upon me the Earth Core Jade Mother's Milk. However, I'll pass on Rui'ai Valley. This former blessed land of the Qilin Clan is not yet my destiny."
"Furthermore, I have already gained enough fortune in Buzhou Mountain. If I were to move Rui'ai Valley back to Qilin Cliff, it would seem that I am too greedy."
Mo Yuan carefully placed the jade bottle into the Qian Yuan Pagoda, then bowed to Hou Tu.
Asking Houtu to help him now would be owing someone a karmic debt.
When the ancestral witch Gonggong angrily struck Buzhou Mountain, and Rui'ai Valley became ownerless, that would be the best opportunity to obtain this blessed land, which could be called getting it for free.
Without even thinking, Mo Yuan knew which one to choose.
"I don't know whether to call you clever or cunning."
"Before leaving the Buzhou Mountain area, return the Battle Head Stone Talisman to Jiang Zhi. After all, you have a great reputation among the Wu tribe. With the Primordial Mirror that carries the will of Father God Pangu, even the Great Wu will show you some respect."
"Think about how upright and proud the First Qilin was during the Dragon-Han Calamity. Yet his successor, the current young master of the Qilin clan, is such a smooth-talking brat."
Houtu glanced at Mo Yuan a few times, her tone tinged with helplessness.
Before Mo Yuan could react, Hou Tu disappeared in front of him. He could only bow again and say, "This junior respectfully bids farewell to Lady Hou Tu."
"The young master of the Qilin clan?"
"I have received the inheritance of the progenitor, occupy the blessed land of Qilin Cliff, and wield the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Qilin Seal. I am indeed worthy of the title of Young Master of the Qilin Clan!"
Mo Yuan carefully considered Hou Tu's words, then grinned and slowly spoke.
But titles are just titles; he wouldn't actually travel or cultivate in the Three Realms with the wish of making the Qilin Clan great again and becoming the overlord of the primordial world.
All Mo Yuan could do was, within the limits of his own ability to protect himself, protect some members of the Qilin clan, or other auspicious mythical beasts with Qilin blood.
"It's time to leave."
"I not only want to visit the Wanhe Tribe, but I also want to go see the Panshi Tribe!"
"I wonder what the spirit medium of the Diwu Rock Tribe is like, and whether the human tribes within a 100,000-mile radius of Lonely Peak have truly been transformed!"
Mo Yuan absorbed the Primordial Mirror and the Five Virtues Brush into his body. He circulated the Earth Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture to absorb a massive amount of Earth Essence Qi, replenishing his magical power and bringing his spiritual energy to its peak.
After doing all this, he knelt and kowtowed to the earth veins of Buzhou Mountain, expressing his respect and gratitude to the great god Pangu, before leaving the space. A moment later, his figure appeared in front of Rui'ai Valley.
Looking up at Mount Buzhou, he could not see where its top was.
There was no need to continue climbing Buzhou Mountain, because with his cultivation level and foundation, he wouldn't be able to reach the summit.
As for seeking good fortune or opportunities, as he had previously told Houtu, he was already content and there was no need to be so greedy.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely reach the top of Buzhou Mountain."
"I wonder if standing there, I can touch the stars, face the thirty-three heavens of the demon race's Heavenly Court, and see the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven!"
Mo Yuan's thoughts were racing, and he secretly made a vow.
Then, without looking back, he headed straight for the Wanhe tribe.
Compared to the hardship and toil of climbing Buzhou Mountain on his way here, Mo Yuan activated the Primordial Mirror when he left, so he no longer had to endure any of Pangu's pressure. Therefore, he was extremely fast and left afterimages in the air.
In just a few months, he returned to the front of the Wanhe tribe.
"It's Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, the young master of the Qilin Clan!"
"Go and inform the war chief immediately!"
The patrolling blood shamans of the Wanhe tribe all showed their benevolent side.
soon.
Mo Yuan was then invited to the Wanhe tribe, where he sat with Zhi, Si Tubo, and Huai Heng. They drank bamboo tea that Mo Yuan had personally brewed and also tasted spiritual fruits such as Jade Marrow Vermilion Fruit and Nine-Aperture Stone Infant Fruit.
"Fellow Daoists, my identity as the young master of the Qilin clan must have been bestowed upon me by the Goddess Houtu!"
Mo Yuan was both amused and exasperated, and he asked the three of them for confirmation.
As expected, all three nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, you guessed correctly."
"The Goddess Houtu has issued a decree that no one of the Wu tribe may be your enemy, and you are granted the right to freely enter and leave Buzhou Mountain."
"Now, your status in the entire Witch Clan is probably higher than mine, the leader of the Wanhe Tribe. But as a result, you will definitely be hated by the Demon Clan. You need to be careful on your way back to Qilin Cliff."
Zhi looked concerned and began to explain to Mo Yuan.
Upon hearing Zhi's words, Mo Yuan's face darkened. He felt a sense of frustration, like someone who had swallowed a bitter pill but couldn't express their grievances.
In the end, they were still outmaneuvered by Houtu.
Being hated by the demon race is not terrible, but what he is most worried about is that the Chan Sect Saint and the disciples of the Chan Sect, such as Yu Ding Zhenren, will think too much and affect his overall situation of sticking to the Chan Sect Saint.
In short, he was afraid that the Sage of the Chan Sect and the Lord of Heaven would misunderstand him!
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing."
"With the decree of the Goddess Houtu and your illustrious reputation among my Wu clan, the few remaining members of your Qilin clan will gather at Qilin Cliff to seek protection from you, the young master of the Qilin clan."
"Looking at the long term, it won't be long before you have your own team, and your status in this prehistoric world will be higher, and your safety will be guaranteed."
When Si Tubo looked at Mo Yuan's face, his mouth almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.
However, as someone who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, he still shared his views with Mo Yuan, pointing out the benefits involved.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse!
After the fall of the First Qilin, most of the remaining members of the Qilin clan chose to die in meditation, following their clan leader. Some also perished alongside the Dragon and Phoenix clans.
Their remnants and origins transformed into auspicious phenomena in the primordial world, and only a few members of the Qilin clan chose to survive, shouldering the hope of reviving their clan.
Having survived from the beginning of the Dragon-Han Calamity until now, even if they are bound by the shackles of Heaven's Dao, the constraints of karma and the sins of killing, their cultivation level is probably at least at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Most importantly, their knowledge and experience accumulated over countless years of cultivation can help Mo Yuan grow rapidly.
Not to mention that in this primordial world, there are many divine beasts bearing the bloodline of the Qilin clan. If they all choose to go to Qilin Cliff and be at Mo Yuan's command, the power of the Qilin clan can rapidly grow.
"Fellow Daoist Wuzhu is right. I didn't understand the implications and almost misunderstood the good intentions of the Goddess Houtu."
"Fellow Daoist Zhan Shou, this is your stone talisman, now returned to its rightful owner."
Mo Yuan shook his head and exhaled a breath of stale air.
It had both advantages and disadvantages, but it ultimately put him in a passive position.
After leaving the Buzhou Mountain area and losing the intimidation of the Wu tribe, he couldn't imagine how many demon soldiers and generals would be secretly watching him.
Moreover, he had previously killed Xuanzhizi, a demon from the Gu Diao clan, so this matter probably won't be exposed, right?
If this causes the human tribes within the territory of Lonely Peak to suffer calamity, then he will be tainted by karmic consequences, and his conscience will not be at peace with him!
Cause and effect, destiny, are the most profound and mysterious.
He was really having a hard time dealing with it.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, if you are afraid that the demon race might cause trouble in secret, then let Master Si Tu escort you back to Qilin Cliff!"
Zhi noticed the struggle in Mo Yuan's eyes and asked him.
"I appreciate Fellow Daoist Zhan Shou's kindness."
"I will be safe once I return to Qilin Cliff. However, I must set off immediately to Gujue Peak, where a human tribe needs my protection."
Mo Yuan decisively rejected Zhi's suggestion and then revealed his own plan.
If the Gu Diao clan knows what's good for them, then they shouldn't make things difficult for those human tribes. Otherwise, he will have no choice but to personally go to the Gu Diao clan's ancestral land and exterminate them.
With trump cards like the Primordial Mirror and the Qilin Seal, Mo Yuan has the confidence to do so.
At worst, if they are in a life-or-death crisis, they can force the Qilin True Fire of the Primordial Qilin to protect its master and burn the Gu Diao clan to ashes.
As for offending the demon race and attracting the attention of powerful figures in the demon race's Heavenly Court?
Mo Yuan wasn't so worried.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, then we will not keep you any longer."
"I wish you a safe journey, and I hope we'll have the chance to sit down and share a drink again!"
Si Tubo stood up, a look of reluctance on his face.
The situation in the primordial world is becoming increasingly turbulent. Even the powerful Wu clan members who are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level feel the crisis. He doesn't know if he will have another chance to meet Mo Yuan.
But in any case, they were all very happy to meet this interesting fellow Daoist.
"Fellow Daoists, we'll meet again another day!"
Mo Yuan spoke earnestly to the group, and then left the Wanhe tribe after they saw him off.
After decades of wandering, far from the Buzhou Mountain region and the territory of the Wu tribe, Mo Yuan's bloodline stirred slightly, and he could sense that some demonic villains were gathering towards him.
"The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease!"
"The demon race has forced me to unleash a massacre!"
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Mo Yuan's eyes as he lowered his head and spoke indifferently.
A certain killing intent within my body awakened at this moment.
