Chapter 164: The Six-Line Mirror is Activated, and a Great Battle is About to Begin!
"That's right!"
"Rou'er's bloodline has already reached the Void Rank, and your Black Crow is too, right?" Gu Jiancheng smiled and asked Cai Kun.
“That’s right.” Cai Kun nodded.
His black crow was a gift from the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts, and its bloodline was extremely high.
"In that case, let's go."
Gu Jiancheng smiled and then had Cai Kun carry the Valley Master of Hundred Beasts on his back.
He then followed Su Qiang and left the cave.
After explaining the situation to Yunshuiyao, she had no objections.
It's just a drop of essence blood, nothing special.
If we could bring the Hundred Beasts Valley under the wing of the Taiji Sect, that would be the best outcome.
Thus, Su Qiang led everyone to prepare for the forbidden area behind the Hundred Beast Valley.
Inside a mountain cave, Gu Jiancheng and the others also saw the ancient mirror floating in mid-air.
This ancient mirror is covered with monster totems.
It looks like it's at an extremely high level, possibly even reaching the level of a semi-sacred artifact.
Beneath the ancient mirror lay a group of weak and listless demonic beasts.
"Now all the sick demon pets are here. With the help of the Six Lines Mirror's aura, they can barely slow down the spread of the poison."
Su Qiangwei gave a bitter smile.
But he also knew that this was nothing more than a slow death.
"These monsters..."
Looking at the dying demonic beasts before her, Bai Rou'er couldn't help but feel saddened.
"These demonic beasts were bred by my Hundred Beast Valley using the Six Lines Mirror over a hundred years; they were not captured from the demon race."
"There is a very small chance that the Six Realms can advance their bloodline."
Su Qiang explained.
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Bai Rou'er herself was a demon, and the beast-taming sects of the human race almost all forcibly controlled demons as pets, making them the type of sects most hated by the demon race.
Animals like Hundred Beasts Valley, which breed their own demon pets, are very rare.
“That’s right. In our Hundred Beast Valley, the demonic pets are like our children. Otherwise, my father wouldn’t have fainted because of Uncle Old Ox’s death.” As Su Che spoke, he summoned his Wen Jinxiu.
However, this golden roe deer was only the size of a palm, timidly clinging to his arm.
However, according to the Divine Eye of Insight, Wen Jinxiu possesses a trace of the ancient divine beast Pixiu bloodline. Although it is very thin, it is still enough to place it among the Void-level bloodlines.
However, Wen Jinxiu's comprehension is not as extraordinary as Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Qingchen's; he still cannot transform into human form.
Su Qiang also summoned her demon pet, which was a purple-eyed calf that was not yet an adult.
Its cultivation level was similar to that of the late stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm, and it had also taken human form.
The calf, however, was not so shy, strutting through the crowd with great excitement.
"This little calf is quite cute!" Su Wanzhi and the others said with a smile.
"Niu Niu, don't you have any manners?"
Su Qiang gave a cold rebuke, and the calf obediently returned to her back.
"Then let's begin!"
Gu Jiancheng extracted a drop of essence blood from Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Qingchen.
Bai Rou'er and Hei Ya also forced out a drop of their own essence blood.
Su Qiang fused the six drops of essence blood together, raised her hand to form a hand seal, which transformed into a blood pattern and was sent into the ancient mirror above her head.
hum!
In an instant, the ancient mirror shone with holy light, like the rising sun.
An intensely bright light instantly filled the entire cave.
The intense gaze even made Gu Jiancheng and Yun Shuiyao feel a little startled.
This Six Lines Mirror is truly extraordinary!
Even Gu Jiancheng discovered that the holy light emanating from the Six Lines Mirror contained extremely rich demonic essence energy, an opportunity that demonic beasts could only dream of!
Under the illumination of this holy light, the toxins within the demonic beasts and the main body of the Hundred Beast Valley were gradually broken down and cleansed.
It has to be said, the Six Lines Realm is truly formidable.
"This essence blood power is incredibly strong!"
At this moment, Su Qiang also gasped and exclaimed, "This is the first time that the Hundred Beast Valley has emitted a semi-saintly radiance since obtaining the Six Lines Mirror. With this, even demons can cultivate within it, and their cultivation will skyrocket!"
"Let them stay here and cultivate!"
Gu Jiancheng asked Bai Rou'er to take care of the two babies, and then the others left.
At least the Six Lines Mirror has solved the biggest problem for the Valley of Beasts. Now all they need to do is figure out how to get through the sect's promotion ceremony the day after tomorrow.
"So, in other words, all three second-rate sects will spare no effort to attack the Hundred Beasts Sect at the grand ceremony the day after tomorrow, right?" Cai Kun asked, raising an eyebrow inside Su Qiang's cave.
Su Qiang nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. They are all henchmen of the three holy lands. Whoever can replace Hundred Beast Valley as the fourth first-class sect can completely take control of Wolong City."
"Thus, we can control the entire Wilderness Domain!"
"Control the Wilderness Domain? What do you mean? Isn't the Domain Lord Yuchi family very powerful?" Cai Kun said with a strange laugh.
"That was right after you left. The Wilderness Domain is no longer what it used to be. Although the three holy lands will not send any top experts, they are constantly infiltrating."
"Although the Yuchi family has the blessings of their ancestors, this generation is really disappointing."
Su Qiang sneered and said, "According to the rules of the Supreme Holy Dao Palace, all four first-class sects can challenge the Yuchi family. If the Yuchi family loses, then this Desolate Domain will truly change hands."
"This desolate region isn't very large, so why are the three holy lands so concerned about it?"
But Gu Jiancheng, who was standing to the side, suddenly asked.
This was something he had always been curious about.
Although the Wilderness Domain is the border area of the three holy lands, it only has eighteen cities.
How come it's seen as a piece of fat meat by the three holy lands?
"You are new to the Holy Domain and may not know this yet. Although the Wilderness Domain is small, it is one of the oldest regions in the entire Holy Domain."
"Legend has it that there is an extremely ancient ruin hidden beneath this desolate region, but no one has discovered it until now. The Three Holy Lands have always suspected that the ancestral land of the Yuchi family holds the secret of how to open that ancient ruin."
“So, they’ve always had their eyes on it,” Su Qiang explained.
"Oh, there's such a legend?" Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this.
But could this legendary ancient ruin be the ancient holy land space where the Taiji Sect is located now?
After all, that ancient holy land was definitely a heaven-defying opportunity.
"Heh, it's just a legend. It's been so many years, and no one has ever heard of it being discovered!"
"But cousin, don't you also have a marriage agreement with the eldest son of the Yuchi family?" Cai Kun suddenly asked.
Back then, the Yuchi family, the Su family, and the Cai family were all top-tier powerful families in the Wilderness Domain, and they had arranged marriages between each other since childhood.
"Hehe, that young master asked me to be his concubine, but I didn't agree, so he broke off the engagement!" Su Qiang laughed self-deprecatingly.
"What? He broke off the engagement?" Cai Kun raised an eyebrow, then angrily said, "The Yuchi family has fallen to such a state, and they still dare to look down on my cousin? They even want my cousin to be their concubine?"
"Hehe, my Hundred Beasts Valley is in decline, so it's understandable that people look down on a rough woman like me." Su Qiang shook her head, then sneered, "However, if it weren't for Lan'er, I would really like the Yuchi family to disappear from the world."
"How is Yuchi Lan now?" Upon hearing this name, Cai Kun's expression turned somewhat strange.
"It's alright. After you ran away from the wedding, she was indeed gossiped about for a long time. Later, the Yuchi family found her a husband, and they've been married for over a year now. She said that her husband is very talented and is now ranked second among the younger generation of the Yuchi family," Su Qiang said with a smile.
"That's good!" Cai Kun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"So, no matter what, we must ensure that Hundred Beast Valley is not defeated at the sect's advancement ceremony the day after tomorrow?" Yun Shuiyao suddenly asked at this moment.
"It's very difficult to save it."
Su Qiang smiled faintly and said, "However, it doesn't matter. I will fight with all my might when the time comes."
"Brother Gu helped me heal my father, and now the demonic pets in the valley are no longer in danger. I am extremely grateful."
"No, no, no, helping Miss Su is just a small favor. I just don't know what the rules are for the sect's advancement ceremony?" Gu Jiancheng asked.
"The rules are simple. The ceremony has three levels, and all inner disciples can enter them. Between each level is a ranking battle between sects of the same level."
"If a non-ranking or second-rate sect wants to advance, they can simply challenge the next level."
"As long as you defeat all the disciples of a certain sect on the next level, you will be considered to have successfully advanced."
As Su Qiang spoke, her expression turned serious. "Actually, you are in the same predicament as me. You have offended the Thunder Sword Sect and the Drunken Gold Pavilion. Moreover, it is an unspoken agreement among the major sects to absorb the younger generation of the villains on the list. You have broken this agreement, and they will definitely target you the day after tomorrow."
"So even if Hundred Beasts Valley loses, it doesn't matter. At worst, it will become a second-rate sect. But what I feel guilty about is that I can't help you in any way."
"Miss Su, there's no need to say that!"
Gu Jiancheng stood up with a smile and said proudly, "You should prepare well. We will do our best to protect the position of Hundred Beast Valley at the sect's promotion ceremony the day after tomorrow."
"Farewell!"
After saying this, Gu Jiancheng cupped his hands in a smile and led everyone back to Wolong City.
"Sect Leader Gu?"
Su Qiang frowned, not understanding why Gu Jiancheng was so confident.
"Cousin, since Brother Gu has said so, he must be absolutely confident. Just wait and see!"
"I'll come see my uncle again after the sect's grand ceremony!"
Cai Kun smiled and left.
The top floor of Zuijin Tower in Wolong City.
"Young Master, we've only found a little bit of information. The Taiji Sect was just established in Yunchuan half a month ago, and its sect leader is named Gu Jiancheng. Other than that, we have no detailed information," the attendant from Zuijinlou said, bowing.
"Oh!? A force established half a month ago? I remember Yun Chuan City belongs to the Black Wind Sect, right? What's going on with your Thunder Sword Sect?" Qin Lang looked at a junior in thunder armor kneeling in front of him.
"Young Master Qin, the Black Wind Sect was wiped out half a month ago, but we were unable to deal with it because we were preparing for the sect's grand ceremony. Afterwards, I asked the Yellow Sand Sect to help me destroy the Taiji Sect, but unexpectedly..."
“That Taiji Sect is not simple!” the junior in Lei Jia hurriedly looked up and said.
"Heh, not simple? Do you think you can compare to my Blood Moon Sword Mountain?" Qin Lang sneered, then his expression turned ferocious as he said, "I have already contacted their second-rate sects, and we will besiege this Taiji Sect together the day after tomorrow."
"Your Thunder Sword Sect's plan remains unchanged. No matter what, you must take over Hundred Beast Valley!"
"Don't worry, Young Master Qin, we will definitely complete the mission the day after tomorrow!" The junior in Lei Jia's face flushed red, and he nodded heavily.
