Chapter 667: The Best of Both Worlds
Good news frequently came out of the central holy mountain of the Ancient Beast Mountain, first the immortal phoenix united with the Qianqian to trap a holy beast remnant soul, and after refining it together, it gave the Tiangang Spirit Ape, and the Tiangang Spirit Ape successfully fused the bones of the Tianluan White Ape and began a formal transformation journey; γ
In the next six months, Xi Ze and Bei Ming successively gave birth to a demi-saint, Nanhuang gave birth to two third-order demon venerables, and the demon beasts in the four territories all had different harvests.
It is expected that after a few years and more than ten years of continuous training, it will be enough to bring more breakthroughs.
For a demon beast with a lifespan of thousands of years, just a dozen years is a trivial matter at all.
The huge achievements allowed the four holy beasts to see the hope of the recovery of the Ancient Beast Mountain.
Tang Yan continued to swim in the Beast Mountain, enjoying the beautiful scenery, accompanying the moon shadow, and of course completing his own growth and transformation.
"Sister Moon Shadow, we've already traveled all over the Beast Mountain, do you want to take a look outside with me?" Tang Yan hugged Moon Shadow and sat at the end of an ancient tree in a swamp forest in Xize, admiring the gorgeous beauty unique to the swamp.
Moon Shadow leaned on Tang Yan affectionately, grinding her ears and temples, shaking her ears playfully, teasing Tang Yan's nose: "I don't want it." β
"We're both married, and you're afraid I'm going to abandon you? I want to take you out into the outside world, where there's more fun and exciting things to do, and there's a lot to eat. β
"Mother said that there are a lot of bad people out there, they are hypocritical and scary, and they will hurt Moon Shadow. Moon Shadow took Tang Yan's hand, hooked her fingers happily, and played with the 'heart-to-heart seal' handed over by Tang Yan. "My father was killed by them, and my mother made Moon Shadow swear that she would never leave the Ancient Beast Mountain. β
Tang Yan was a little helpless, it has been eleven months since he got married, it was a rare time of peace, allowing himself to complete his positioning for the future, his mood was sublimated and precipitated, and his strength was comprehensively consolidated and improved, and the Black Water Grasshopper was successfully promoted to the second-order Martial Venerable Realm.
But he doesn't want to stay any longer, he can relax properly, but he can't let relaxation become forever.
He still has a lot of things to do, including the unification of the Dayan Mountains, including the revenge of King Ling of Zhou in the southern part of the border, and the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Catalogue' that has been preserved in his arms for a long time.
Tang Yan didn't want to make Moon Shadow sad, so he hoped to take her away, and put her in the golden lock when she was in danger, and go around together when it was safe.
"Are you trying to leave?" Moon Shadow suddenly pursed her lips and turned around Tang Yan, looking at him with a pitiful look.
"I want to take a look outside, and come back after a while, I'll be with you, and we'll be together. β
"Isn't it good to live here? It's quiet, it's happy, it's free of worries and bad people. β
"If you want to be happy all the time, you must keep trying new environments and making new friends. β
"But Mother said that there are all bad people out there, and no human will treat Moon Shadow seriously. They will arrest Moonshadow, they will sell it, they will bully Moonshadow. Moon Shadow leaned on Tang Yan's arms, pouting unpleasantly.
"That'...... All right...... We'll continue to stay in Beast Mountain, and when you want to go out, you will bring it up, and we'll leave again, okay?"
Moon Shadow didn't show a happy expression, but continued to be silent.
"Just because I didn't say anything just now, I promise to accompany you, don't be upset. Tang Yan secretly thought that she was going to change her strategy, and from time to time she would tell Moon Shadow some novel stories outside, the little girl would definitely not be able to hold back, and I believed that in a few months, she would take the initiative to ask to go out to play.
When the time comes, Moon Shadow insists on her attitude, and Nine-Tailed Tmall has no choice.
Moon Shadow was silent for a moment and muttered, "The day before we got married, Mother told Moon Shadow that when you ask to leave again, I can take you to her." β
"The Great Sage said that?"
"But Moon Shadow still doesn't want her brother to go. "Moon Shadow and Tang Yan have been together for eleven months, not only did they get tired of what they expected, but they became more and more attached, and they didn't want to separate for a moment.
Tang Yan and Moon Shadow left Nishizawa and returned to East Kuiling Mountain.
The Nine-Tailed Tmall was cultivating inside the Holy Mountain, and it didn't come back until half a month after getting the report.
"Thank you. Alone in the bamboo building, the first sentence of the nine-tailed cat's mouth made Tang Yan feel flattered.
"Why do you want to thank me?" Tang Yan did not show the physique of a demon beast, but faced the Great Sage with a real appearance, which was a kind of calmness and attitude. Now that you're married to Moon Shadow, it's time to make a little more sincere statement to Moon Shadow's mother.
If it was a year ago, Tang Yan would not have shown it, but now, he is very calm.
"I can tell that Moon Shadow is happy. I can also see that you didn't break her body, and I should thank you. β
Nine-tailed Tmall's straightforward words embarrassed Tang Yan: "Great Sage, don't hide it, I'm going to ...... Leave for a while. I mean take the Moon Shadow with me, I have now reached the peak of the second-order Martial Venerable, and I can carry it a few times when I encounter the third-order Martial Venerable, and there is no problem in getting out. As long as you don't get into trouble, it's enough to protect the Moon Shadow. Since I am married to her, I will definitely treat her with dignity and do my best to protect her safety. β
"No, Moon Shadow won't leave with you. She has a very simple mind and can't adapt to the complicated world outside. You can take care of him for a few years, but you can't take care of him every minute, and you can't take care of him forever. Moon Shadow has a beautiful appearance and an orc physique, it is easy to arouse the covetousness of some wicked people, the gentleman is easy to hide, and the villain is difficult to guard, what if I am unfortunate enough to encounter the Demon Temple? I dare not take the risk, nor do I want to take this risk. β
Tang Yan was a little depressed, he didn't want Moon Shadow to be in danger, but he really couldn't accept living in seclusion in the Ancient Beast Mountain for a hundred years.
Nine-Tailed Lynx looked at Tang Yan: "I thought you would decide to leave after being promoted to a third-order martial honor." You are very talented, and you will definitely be able to make the cut for a maximum of five years. The Eternal Beast Mountain is rich in spiritual power and very quiet, making it an ideal retreat location. β
"The Ancient Beast Mountain is very suitable for retreat in all aspects, the outside world is full of dangers, and there is no spiritual power similar to the Beast Mountain, but ...... It will take me five years to break through in the beast mountain, and it will take me a maximum of three years in the outside world, or even just two years. β
"Oh??reason?"
"The martial arts I cultivate are not purely based on perception and devouring spiritual power, and I ask the Great Sage to forgive me. "Tang Yan has reached the peak realm of the second order, but he is far from the breakthrough Cheng DΓΉ, because the realm does not allow it, and if he wants to rely solely on the Enlightenment of the Collapse of the Heaven and the Hundred Buddha Seal Extinction Eyes, etc., the realm improvement is very slow. But if you can get a new Buddha seal and understand it, the realm ascension is enough to bring about a transformation.
That's why Tang Yan said such 'counterintuitive' words.
"Will I not allow you to leave? will you abandon Moon Shadow and run away from Nanhuang?"
Tang Yan smiled slightly: "What happened a year ago made the Great Sage see the joke, but I, Tang Yan, am really not the kind of ungrateful person, I hope the Great Sage can believe it." Since I'm married to Moon Shadow, I'll treat her sincerely. A hundred years is a bit long, but I ...... Try to ......"
Nine-tailed Tmall's cold and arrogant aura eased slightly: "You have matured a lot, I am not difficult for you, give you five years, and come back when the time comes." β
"Oh??, you mean ......"
"When the Immortal Phoenix recognized you as your righteous son, that is, the day before you got married, I expected that the Holy Lord would reveal the secret of the Moon Shadow to the Immortal Phoenix.
As a result, half a year ago, in the process of the Holy Lord and the Immortal Phoenix joining forces to capture the Holy Soul, it was really proposed. The Immortal Phoenix expressed his willingness to secretly cooperate with Dongkui to help Moon Shadow in the next sixth and seventh reincarnations. β
"And then?"
"Now that the secret of the Moon Shadow has been told to the Immortal Phoenix, you can now borrow the power of the Immortal Phoenix to gather the power of the Two Saints and let the Moon Shadow sleep peacefully. β
Tang Yan frowned slightly: "I still don't understand." β
"The first four reincarnations of the Moon Shadow are very difficult, but the fifth reincarnation is a rare joy. But in fact, we have discovered that for Moon Shadow, for us, a hundred years of joy is far more difficult than a hundred years of suffering.
A person can be miserable for a lifetime, but it is difficult for him to be happy for a hundred years. I've been thinking about it a long time ago to add a few buffer points to this centennial euphoria to make it easier to get through it safely. That is, let the moon shadow sleep for a period of time every few years, and this slumber is based on not destroying the cycle of reincarnation, and is conditioned by soaking in quenching body fluids to increase strength. But it was just an idea before, but now with the joint help of the two holy beasts, I am 100% sure that it will succeed.
In the first stage, let Moon Shadow sleep for five years, then wake up, spend five years of joy, let her sleep again, and reincarnate in turn. That's why I said give you five years, and after five years, you have to be in front of her the moment she wakes up.
If you can do it, I will let you go, if you can't guarantee it, I want to ...... The Immortal Phoenix will not allow you to leave the Ancient Beast Mountain. β
Tang Yan roughly understood the meaning of the nine-tailed cat, and secretly sighed, these old demons who have lived for nearly 10,000 years are really a bit perverted, they can come up with any kind of method, and what kind of mysteries can interfere with the solution: "Since the Great Sage is generous and considerate, how can I have a reason to refuse, in five years, I will definitely come back in time!"
"But I need to mix the potion, and you'll have to stay with Moon Shadow for a few more months until she really falls asleep, and don't talk about it in the meantime. β
"Great Sage, rest assured, I understand the severity. Oh yes, I ...... It seems like...... I haven't had time to change my words......" Tang Yan smiled, bowed to the nine-tailed cat, and cherished it: "The mother-in-law is on top, and the little nephew worships her." β
