A beam of light appeared, and in a matter of moments it flew from the top of Tongtian Peak to the Rainbow Bridge at the foot of the mountain, clearly attracted by the thunderous roar of Lingzun.
Daoxuan stood firm, flapping his sleeves to disperse the wind behind him. As he looked around, he couldn't help but change his expression. Lingzun who had guarded the Qing Yun Sect for thousands of years was acting like this towards a stranger he had never seen before.
It appeared that Lingzun's actions were like a show of submission, but Daoxuan knew that it was just a way for beasts to express friendly closeness. In other words, Lingzun did not treat that person as a human.
Daoxuan's gaze shifted between Li Xiu and Lingzun, and his sharp mind had already guessed what had happened. It should be that this young man had the blood of a qilin, even if he looked like a fire-qilin with opposite attributes. But Lingzun, who had been guarding the Bishui Tan for thousands of years, had long been lonely and dull to the extreme, and now suddenly seeing a member of his own kind, how could he remain calm.
At this time, Zeng Shushu saw that even the Sect Leader was startled and quickly stepped forward to apologize and explain the situation.
After listening carefully to Zeng Shushu's story, Daoxuan had a shocked and suspicious expression on his face. He suspected that the young man must have been unaware that he possessed the bloodline of the Qilin before coming to Hongqiao. The Qilin bloodline and Lingzun must have had a mutual resonance, causing the young man's bloodline to awaken and manifest its unusual condition.
In ancient times, strange beasts were everywhere, each one powerful and unmatched. At that time, the human race was weak and could only struggle to survive in the cracks. Later, for some unknown reason, the beast race gradually declined and weakened, and it became difficult to find even one of them. As for the Qilin race, it was originally extremely rare, and it was thought that Lingzun, who was subdued by Daoist Qing Ye a thousand years ago, was probably the last Qilin in the world. Everyone in the world believed this to be true.
But now, unexpectedly, there was another young man with a Qilin bloodline who had come to Hongqiao and met Lingzun, and even awakened his bloodline here. Daoxuan couldn't help but think that this was a very coincidental occurrence, and the identity of the Leader of Qing Yun Sect made him even more suspicious of whether there was something fishy going on behind the scenes.
But a moment later, Daoxuan shook his head and gave up this idea. There was no other reason, because if this was a human's doing, the scale of this would be too large.
Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of Qing Yun Sect, Qing Yun Saint, was highly skilled in the art of divination. When he passed through Qing Yun Mountains, he immediately saw that Qing Yun Mountains was a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, so he climbed the mountain to focus on his cultivation.
Soon after, he found a secret cave deep in the mountain and obtained an ancient scroll with various methods and techniques, which were difficult and obscure, but had endless uses and great power.
Later, the ancestor of Qing Yun used this ancient scroll to cultivate and eventually established his own sect on this Qing Yun Mountains, but at that time, not only was he not in charge of the mainstream of the righteous path, but his reputation was also limited to this Qing Yun Mountain area. It was a true wilderness sect.
After that, for hundreds of years, the Qing Yun Sect failed to prosper due to various natural and man-made disasters. Instead, it became increasingly declining, and there was even a period when the Qing Yun Seven Peaks were occupied by common bandits and robbers, except for the Tongtian Main Peak. This shows how far the Qing Yun Sect had declined at that time.
Until later, in the eleventh generation of disciples of Qing Yun Sect, there was a talented and gifted young man named Daoist Qing Ye. Within a year of entering the Sect, he had already understood and mastered all of the Qing Yun Daoist practices, far surpassing ordinary disciples. Within two years, he had already reached the peak of Qing Yun's sect cultivation level. After 13 years of secluded cultivation in the Huang Yue Cave on the Tongtian Peak, he emerged with a cultivation level that was almost that of a true immortal.
After that, with the establishment of Daoist Qing Ye as the leader, the prestige of Qing Yun Sect quickly rose. In fifty years, it became the pillar of the righteous path, and in two hundred years, it became the number one sect in the world!
However, it seems that the luck of Qing Yun Sect was concentrated on one person, Daoist Qing Ye.
Although the sect continued to attract many talents with its reputation as the number one sect, there was no one as extraordinary as Daoist Qing Ye. The Qing Yun Sect gradually fell behind the Tian Yin Pavilion and the Fen Xiang Valley and began to compete with them as the three major cultivation sects in the world. Although it is still the number one sect, it is no longer a lone standout and had the momentum of being replaced.
Now that this young man carries the blood of a Qilin, he must be extremely talented and even unmatched in the current generation. In the future, he will certainly become a prominent figure in the Daoist community. Daoxuan, does not believe that any force would be foolish enough to let such a talented individual go to waste.
Furthermore, even if this young man is from a strange sect or even a member of the Demon Sect, he must still convert him to sincerely join the Qing Yun Sect, and in a hundred or ten years, with this child's qualifications and cultivation, it is not impossible for Qing Yun Sect to once again gaze upon the world and stand above the world.
Li Xiu also noticed that there was an extra person on the Rainbow Bridge, and in a hurry, he wanted to go forward to pay his respects. Just then, several beams of strange light flew in from various directions of the Qing Yun Sect. These were the other heads of the Qing Yun Sect Seven Peaks who had flown over.
Lingzun's status within the Qing Yun Sect is special, and in some aspects, even the Sect Leader is not as good as it. It suddenly let out a loud roar that shook several miles, which was not a normal thing, so the Heads of the various peaks naturally came to investigate.
All the beams of strange light landed on the Rainbow Bridge, and after the light disappeared, six extraordinary and majestic cultivators walked out. Zeng Shushu's heart tightened and he quickly went forward to pay his respects.
"Leader Brother, what's wrong with Lingzun? Is there a problem?"
The Head of the Fenghui Peak, Zeng Shuchang, saw his son Zeng Shushu here and knew that Zeng Shushu usually did not practice diligently and loved to mess around with those rare and strange beasts. Since Lingzun was acting so abnormally, he thought that Zeng Shushu had done something foolish and angered Lingzun. He was more concerned than other Head peaks, so he asked first.
The other Five Peak Heads were also puzzled and looked at Daoxuan, waiting for his answer. The incident happened on Tongtian Peak. Daoxuan should have arrived a long time ago, and there must be some discovery.
Daoxuan slightly waved his hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with Lingzun, it's just that..."
Daoxuan repeated what Zeng Shushu had said to him, and added his own guesses, and told them all to Zeng Shuchang and the others. After listening, everyone's gaze fell on Li Xiu, and they scrutinized him carefully. Li Xiu's originally puzzled face now had a few more traces of restraint, as if he had never experienced such a situation before.
After a few moments of silence, Li Xiu coughed and respectfully stepped forward, asking in confusion, "Junior Li Xiu. I have seen all of the masters. may I ask what happened to me? Why did I become like this?"
Seeing that Li Xiu, despite his strange appearance, remained calm and composed and was polite in his manners, Daoxuan and the others were impressed and felt inclined to accept him into their
Peak. At this point, they were weighing the decision in their minds.
Daoxuan repeated his guesses to Li Xiu, who was shocked by what he heard and remained lost in thought for a while, unsure of what to think.
"Li Xiu, now that your body has become like this, if you were to walk outside, you would likely startle the ignorant masses and they would treat you as a monster and try to kill you. It's better for you to stay in my Qing Yun Sect for a while and let's see if there is any way to help you return to your normal appearance."
Daoxuan stroked his beard, his eyes shining with an inexplicable radiance and smiled as he spoke.
