Chapter 603: The Spirit Dragon's Past
Elder Luo Du and the others had witnessed Qinchuan's capabilities. Although they did not understand how Qinchuan knew the details of the White Tiger Demon Swallowing Formation, they ultimately believed that they had not come for the Golden Buddha Mountain heritage.
Since Qinchuan was not willing to talk much about his background, Elder Fu Hu did not press the matter further, but he felt especially grateful towards Qinchuan, particularly Ye Xuanji.
"Elder Fu Hu," Qinchuan asked, "you just mentioned that the scriptures and magical treasures of the Golden Buddha Mountain's heritage of tens of millions of years were taken away by the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, Heavenly Sword Gate, and Supreme Xuanhuang Sect. What happened exactly?"
Qinchuan recalled what Elder Fu Hu had said earlier.
He was not concerned about the Heavenly Sword Gate or the Supreme Xuanhuang Sect; he just wanted to know what had happened in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, which after all, had been one of his pawns in the past.
"To my knowledge," Qinchuan said casually, "Emperor Ye Xuan of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land is a modest and elegant man, who should not have done such things."
"If Donor Qin knows of Ye Xuan, then why does he not know about the changes in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land?" Elder Fu Hu curiously looked at Qinchuan.
Ye Xuan was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, and this young man was barely over ten years old. How could he know of Ye Xuan? Moreover, to be aware of Ye Xuan and yet unknowledgeable about the Spirit Dragon Holy Land's change of circumstance.
This matter had caused a huge uproar in the Heavenly Mountain Domain of the Nanchi Continent back in those days, and any surviving cultivator would know about it.
However, he soon came to a realization. If Qinchuan knew about their Golden Buddha Mountain's Mountain Protection Array in such detail, it was not surprising for him to be aware of Ye Xuan's existence as well.
"I would like to hear more," Qinchuan said with suspicion.
"The origin of this matter dates back eighty thousand years, to our Buddhist Little Spirit Mountain World," Elder Fu Hu said, letting out a long sigh. His eyes were empty as he looked towards the peak of the Golden Buddha Mountain, where the passage to the Little Spirit Mountain was located.
He seemed to be recalling past events, and after a long pause, he returned to his senses and continued.
"Eighty thousand years ago, the Little Spirit Mountain World of our Golden Buddha Mountain suddenly closed off. You should know about this, Donor Qin?"
Qinchuan nodded. He knew the whole story; it was due to Venerable Lingxu angering a supreme being. That mysterious supreme being's punishment led to the decline of Golden Buddha Mountain for eighty thousand years.
And it was indeed that being's punishment that triggered Golden Buddha Mountain's downfall.
"Actually, just before the closure of Little Spirit Mountain eighty thousand years ago, a scantily-clad woman with a strange aura emerged from the passage of the Little Spirit Mountain."
Qinchuan's expression turned solemn. The woman who came through the Little Spirit Mountain passage was a ghost clan woman being pursued, who should also be Ye Shiyi's ancestor. However, Elder Fu Hu and his group did not know that she was a member of the ghost clan.
"Does this woman have something to do with Ye Xuan?"
Through Ye Shiyi, Qinchuan already knew that they had had a child together, but he still asked as such.
"Indeed," Elder Fu Hu nodded. The woman had later become Daoist couple with Ye Xuan.
He did not continue talking about the woman and Ye Xuan's relationship, instead, he went back to discussing the Golden Buddha Mountain incident.
"Our Buddhist Holy Land has always prohibited the entry of women. Naturally, when such an odd woman emerged from the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, she would be interrogated.
That day, my senior brother Fu Ci, who was the strongest among us brothers and had already reached the Supreme Saint Late Stage, approached her to ask questions.
Before my senior brother could get close, the woman suddenly lashed out, severely injuring him.
In the Buddhist Holy Land, such unruliness could not be tolerated, and a fierce battle broke out between my brothers and her.
This woman was extraordinary. At that time, a dozen Supreme Saint Experts from our Golden Buddha Mountain attacked her simultaneously, along with the fully operational Mountain Protection Array, and still, they could only manage a draw with her, struggling during that critical moment.
The Spirit Dragon Holy Master, Great Emperor Ye Xuan, appeared in the grand hall, having captured the woman with a swift move of his hand.
At that time, Great Emperor Ye Xuan had actually been on his way to visit the Buddha Lord at the smaller Spirit Mountain but happened to witness the closing of the pathway to the mountain.
Seeing that he could not enter the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, he had no choice but to take the mysterious woman with him and hurried back to the Spirit Dragon Holy Land."
Fu Hu detailed the events of those years, and when he reached this point, he let out an inexplicable sigh.
"What a pity, such a shame!"
"What happened next?" Ji Huo'er was listening with keen interest when she suddenly saw Fu Hu stop speaking and eagerly asked, her eyes shining brightly.
"How did Ye Xuan and that woman suddenly become Dao companions?"
Fu Hu shook his head, deep in thought, "Why the two of them suddenly became Dao companions back then, nobody really knows."
"Ghost Charm Heart Method!"
Qinchuan pondered, he had already guessed the reason.
The females of the Ghost Race were naturally charming and exceedingly beautiful, and a majority of them practiced the Enchanting Technique. It was all too easy for them to cause others to fall into their trap, especially for the Human Race experts who had never encountered the Ghost Race's Charming Skill, making them difficult to guard against.
"After Great Emperor Ye Xuan became Dao companions with that woman, did his glabella turn dark, faintly bearing the mark of a black fox?" Qinchuan asked calmly without revealing his intentions.
"How does Benefactor Qin know?" A sharp glint flashed in Fu Hu's eyes as he looked at Qinchuan, curiosity shining in his gaze.
He continued to speak.
"That year, after Great Emperor Ye Xuan became Dao companions with that woman, he even came to our Golden Buddha Mountain to offer an apology note, expressing his regret for the woman's conduct in injuring someone.
Although at that time I was merely a minor monk in the Saint Realm, I could see with my own eyes that something was off with Great Emperor Ye Xuan. His glabella was dark, just as you said, which is highly abnormal for a powerful Great Emperor."
At this point, he paused again, "However, the mark on his glabella was not that of a black fox, but more like a pair of li-zhus."
"Li-zhus!" Qinchuan's eyebrows raised.
He thought to himself, "Could this Ghost Race woman have actually fallen in genuine love?"
The Enchanting Technique of the Ghost Race has two forms. When utilized against the Human Race, if a black fox mark appears on the glabella, it means that it is merely a seduction of the victim's soul to turn them into a puppet.
However, if a pair of li-zhus appear, it means that the user of the Charming Skill has truly fallen in love, and both parties have willingly submitted to it.
"What came afterward?" Qinchuan did not press further and instead asked to continue.
"The day Great Emperor Ye Xuan personally visited Golden Buddha Mountain to deliver the apology note was when we learned the name of that woman—Mo Yu.
Mo Yu and Great Emperor Ye Xuan became Dao companions and ten years later, their first child was born, named Ye Yu.
In the following thousands of years, the Heavenly Mountain Domain remained as peaceful as usual, with the Spirit Dragon Holy Land still maintaining a strong influence in this Great Domain. In fact, at that time, there were already quite a few Sect Great Emperors who, seeing our Golden Buddha Mountain's smaller Spirit Mountain world had remained closed, became restless and wanted to attack our Golden Buddha Mountain.
Thanks to Great Emperor Ye Xuan and Mo Yu's intervention during that period, our Golden Buddha Mountain lineage was preserved.
Originally, we all thought that things would continue smoothly until the gateway to the small Spirit Mountain of our Golden Buddha Mountain opened.
Three thousand years later, Mo Yu became pregnant with their second child, and it was also in that same year that a drastic change occurred."
