Ye Qiu suddenly felt a bit nervous.
After all, the little white fox was a demon…
And she possessed cultivation at the Saint realm.
Moreover, that bed was so enormous, crafted entirely from spiritual jade, spacious enough for quite a lot of activity.
Ye Qiu feared he might not be able to withstand it.
He halted his steps, feeling somewhat afraid.
“What are you standing there for?” The little white fox turned back, seeing Ye Qiu stop, and urged, “Hurry up and come over!”
Ye Qiu said uneasily, “Well, actually, I am not ready yet.”
“What is there to prepare for? Listen to me and come here quickly.” Seeing Ye Qiu remain still, the little white fox grew somewhat angry and asked, “Ye Changsheng, are you still a man or not?”
These words provoked Ye Qiu.
You can doubt my character, but you absolutely cannot doubt my manhood. It is just sharing a room, who is afraid of whom!
Even if you are at the Saint realm, when the time comes, who exhausts whom remains to be seen.
Ye Qiu strode over boldly.
“That is more like it. So obedient~” The little white fox giggled, then walked to the bedside.
Ye Qiu’s heart tightened again.
It seemed she intended to make it real. Today, there was no escape.
The little white fox bent over, as if searching for something on the bed. Since her back was to Ye Qiu, a certain area appeared particularly rounded.
“From behind might not be bad either…”
Just as Ye Qiu’s mind wandered, there was a whooshing sound. The jade bed split in two from the centre, sliding apart to both sides, revealing a secret chamber below.
“Ye Changsheng, follow me quickly.” After speaking, the little white fox leapt down into the chamber.
Ye Qiu followed and jumped in after her.
The secret chamber was not large. On both sides stood wooden racks holding oil lamps that illuminated the space brightly.
Ye Qiu immediately noticed a square niche carved into the central stone wall, within which was enshrined a bowl-sized cyan lotus flower.
The cyan lotus was carved from spiritual jade, lifelike and vivid.
Below the cyan lotus stood a rectangular wooden altar, upon which rested an exquisite incense burner.
The little white fox picked up three sticks of incense from the altar, lit them, and reverently paid homage to the cyan lotus before inserting them into the burner.
At this point, she turned to Ye Qiu and asked, “Do you want to become a Great Emperor powerhouse?”
That was a needless question. Who would not want to?
Ye Qiu nodded.
The little white fox reached behind the cyan lotus and pulled out a yellowed secret manual, handing it to Ye Qiu.
Taking the manual, Ye Qiu discovered it was made from some unknown beast hide, feeling very soft in his hands.
There was not a single character on it.
“What is this?” Ye Qiu asked.
The little white fox smiled mysteriously, pricked her finger to draw a drop of blood, and let it fall onto the manual.
“Buzz!”
In an instant, light flowed across the cover, and four large cyan characters appeared.
Ye Qiu did not recognise a single one.
“This is ancient demon script. No matter, you will soon understand it.” As soon as she finished speaking, a line of small human characters appeared beside the four cyan ones.
Ye Qiu recognised these four characters.
Immediately, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, “The Great Emperor Heart Sutra!”
The little white fox said, “This Great Emperor Heart Sutra was written by the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor during his lifetime. It records his insights into becoming an emperor. This book is the supreme treasure of our demon clan. You cannot take it away, but you may study it here.”
Ye Qiu felt puzzled. How could the insights of the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor on becoming an emperor end up in the demon clan?
Could it be that the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor came from the demon clan?
He instinctively looked at the cyan lotus, involuntarily thinking of the golden coffin hidden in his right eye. He clearly remembered that when he arrived in the demon clan that day, a cyan lotus had appeared on the golden coffin, destroying the Yin-Yang Sect’s imperial artefact.
Did this mean the golden coffin in his eye was related to the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor?
“I know you have many mysteries in your heart. I can explain them to you.”
The little white fox said, “Originally, I planned to tell you after you reached sainthood, but after thinking it over, since this karma is already entangled with you, it is better to tell you sooner.”
“The father of the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was once a sage of the human race, while his mother was from our demon clan.”
Ye Qiu suddenly understood. “In that case, would the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor not be a hu…”
He held back the word “demon”, feeling that saying it would profane a Great Emperor powerhouse, and quickly changed his words. “I understand. The Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was of mixed blood.”
“Mixed blood?” The little white fox was stunned. “What does that mean?”
Ye Qiu explained, “Simply put, when two people from different races unite, the child born is called a mixed-blood child.”
“I see.” The little white fox nodded. “That is a valid explanation.”
“After the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was born, he carried half demon clan bloodline and half human clan bloodline.”
“Although he had a human physical body, the primordial spirit he cultivated was a cyan lotus.”
“Because his mother’s true form was a cyan lotus.”
“The Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor grew up in the demon clan from childhood. Upon reaching adulthood, he left to venture out into the world.”
“Possessing the supreme arts of both human and demon clans, he rose like a comet, unstoppable.”
“At the beginning, some human powerhouses believed him to be of the demon clan and wanted to kill him, but each time not only did they fail, they were instead captured by the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor.”
“The Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was very merciful. He did not repay evil with evil. Not only did he repeatedly release those who sought to kill him, but he also continually reasoned with them. With his magnanimity, he earned the respect of human powerhouses.”
“Those human powerhouses were all moved by him and no longer mentioned that the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was half-human half-demon. Over time, few people knew the secret of the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor.”
“Even today, the human race believes the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor was the last Great Emperor of their race, but they do not know that half of his bloodline actually belonged to the demon clan.”
“During his lifetime, the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor often returned to the demon clan and cared deeply for us. After becoming an emperor, he mediated conflicts between human and demon clans, allowing both to coexist harmoniously for a time. One could say that was the most beautiful era.”
“Later, the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor entered Immortality Mountain and never returned. The world believed he had perished.”
“Thus, our demon clan carved some cyan lotuses, which we regularly worship to commemorate the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor.”
So that was how it was.
The little white fox continued, “The supreme opportunity in Immortality Mountain, that is, the golden coffin in your eye, is related to the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor.”
“The last time I entered Immortality Mountain, I was actually going for that golden coffin.”
“According to ancient demon clan records, before entering Immortality Mountain, the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor visited the demon clan once.”
“He instructed an elder that if the demon clan ever declined, we could send someone to Immortality Mountain to seek the opportunity he left behind, to revive the glory of the demon clan.”
“Only, I never expected that coffin to choose you in the end.”
Ye Qiu asked, “What exactly is inside that coffin?”
“I am not sure.” The little white fox said, “Perhaps it holds the inheritance of the Eternal Cyan Heaven Great Emperor, or perhaps it contains his remains. I truly do not know what it is.”
“In any case, it will not harm you.”
“Ye Changsheng, if one day you can become a Great Emperor powerhouse, I hope you can help me revive the glory of the demon clan. Will you?”
