Chapter 560: Previous generations dig the pit, and later generations fall into it
"Grandpa Ba, did you ever cause trouble in the Demon Realm when you were young?"
"Of course not. I was always an honest person, at most just helping out with errands. The major mischief wasn't my doing."
"I heard that the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan are friendly towards humans. We should be able to visit, right?"
Lu Yang remembered meeting a Phoenix clan member selling blood to make Phoenix Blood Stones at Li Haoran's hometown. After revealing his identity, they were quite welcoming.
"You can go, but only if certain small matters remain hidden."
"What small matters?"
"As the saying goes, 'The dragon and phoenix bring prosperity,' symbolizing good fortune. Wealthy families like to use dragon and phoenix paper cutouts during weddings."
"Old Nine pondered that a wedding is essentially a couple announcing their union to everyone, so the dragon and phoenix in the cutouts should symbolize this union. It's just that people never get to see the real thing, so the cutouts aren't realistic."
"Old Nine dared to be a pioneer, secretly finding a dragon and phoenix couple, observing their union, and documenting it. He compiled the firsthand information into a book called 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' for future reference. Have you heard of it?"
Lu Yang: "..."
How could I not have heard of it? On my first day at the Scripture Repository, I found 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' hidden in a corner. I thought I had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
The senior brother at the Scripture Repository was puzzled too. 'Dragon and Phoenix Transformation' is a banned book, supposedly impossible to find across the continent. How did the Scripture Repository have a copy?
Turns out it was written by my master!
Judging by the reaction from the Dragon and Phoenix clans, they still don't know it was my master who did it, but who knows what the future holds.
"What about the Hakutaku clan?" Lu Yang had heard that the Hakutaku clan was neutral, often mediating and witnessing disputes among the demon race.
"The Hakutaku clan isn't much of a problem. Back then, a few of us caused some commotion in the Demon Realm and were chased down. In desperation, we disguised ourselves as the Hakutaku clan and escaped. Unfortunately, we were later spotted by a Hakutaku who insisted on taking us back. In a pinch, Old Eight asked him, 'Since the Hakutaku clan knows everything, do you know what you don't know?'"
"While he was pondering, we managed to escape. I heard that the Hakutaku who was questioned by Old Eight is now the clan leader."
"The Hakutaku clan is fair and kind. They've probably long forgotten about us."
"We just don't know if our portraits have been circulated in the Demon Realm."
"They probably haven't. We haven't heard of any geniuses from the Demon Realm, so they likely aren't familiar with the prodigies of Great Xia either. At most, they know a few names."
"Makes sense."
The two of them decided to head to the Demon Realm.
As cultivators, how could they fear challenges?
They went on a shopping spree, focusing on life-saving items, packed them into their identity jade tokens, and set off lightly on a flying boat to their old haunt—Demon Suppression Pass.
It was the eldest senior sister who had thrown them there initially.
The once-thriving wig industry at Demon Suppression Pass was now in decline. Without Lu Yang's antics, wigs were no longer needed.
They also no longer needed mosquito-repelling Dan pills; with their Golden Elixir stage aura, no mosquito dared approach.
A dense forest lay between Demon Suppression Pass and the Demon Realm, where Lu Yang had advanced to the Golden Elixir stage.
"Back then, those Golden Elixir stage demon beasts were quite a threat to us. We had to flee from Elemental Infant stage ones, but now, they're nothing." The two Golden Elixir eighth-level ancestors chatted and laughed in the forest.
Tall trees blocked the sunlight, and pairs of green eyes watched Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou from the dark underbrush, eyes filled with greed and bloodlust, danger lurking everywhere.
But when the two ancestors casually killed an early Elemental Infant stage demon beast, the hidden beasts retreated, realizing the futility of their plans.
Even when they entered the territory of Elemental Infant stage beasts, those with strong territorial instincts didn't dare show themselves, pretending not to see the two, silently praying nothing would happen.
Those who reached the Elemental Infant stage weren't fools. They had a clear understanding of themselves, knowing they were merely mixed-blood demon beasts with average combat power. These two had strength comparable to top demon race prodigies; how could they dare provoke them?
The forest no longer posed a threat to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
The two took advantage of the time before officially entering the Demon Realm to flaunt their prowess.
