I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 129: The First Transformation, Acquired Candle Dragon
Little Turtle Phoenix was depressed, lowered his head, and said sadly:

"Uncle Lion is dead too"

Zhou Mu's eyes widened. Jiuling Yuansheng? The legendary [Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun], the mount of [Dongji Qinghua Emperor]?

In astonishment, he comforted:

"Sister, I heard that Jiuling Yuansheng is a nine-headed lion. There are only eight heads here, so Uncle Lion should not be dead."

The sad little turtle phoenix counted them carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief:

"That's true. I wish Uncle Lion wasn't dead. I wish Uncle Lion wasn't dead."

She suddenly cheered up:

"Brother, can we find Uncle Lion? Uncle Lion can definitely open this broken pot!"

"Sister." Zhou Mu smiled bitterly: "Look at this heaven, does it look like there are people there?"

The little turtle phoenix hung its head again.

Zhou Mu tried to get closer to the lion's head, but the closer he got, the more frightened he became.
It had been who knows how many years since the lion's skull was broken, but it still had some power. It was fine if he stayed far away, but once he got close, he felt a chill all over his body.

When they were about a thousand steps away from the lion's head, they could no longer move forward.

This was already the limit of what Zhou Mu could endure, his body was covered with cracks.

"Unfortunately, can't try anchoring"

He felt a little regretful. If a creature of this level wanted to try to anchor, it had to be touched. But Jiuling Yuansheng, he should at least be an [Innate Creature], right?

Well, that’s not necessarily the case, but even if it’s not an innate creature, Zhou Mu probably wouldn’t anchor it.

At least it won't be anchored when there is only one change.

The reason is very simple. If Jiuling Yuansheng is not a congenital creature,

Zhou Mu felt that the other party must have climbed up to that realm and status step by step.
The seventy-two transformations can only transform one into an 'original' version of a creature - that is, one that has not been cultivated.

The benefits you can get are probably not as good as Jinwu or Zhulong.

Zhou Mu tried to bypass the eight lion skulls and approach the Taoist palace, but failed. The pressure range of the lion skulls completely covered the Taoist palace.

“That’s a bit of a pity.”

Zhou Mu regretted that the lion skull was in front of him, and that Taoist palace might be the residence of the Qinghua Emperor, or one of his residences.
There are so many good things in there!
Zhou Mu even had reason to suspect that there were more treasures inside than in that petty Tushita Palace.
"My cultivation is still too low. Even Master Zhou Tian may not be able to withstand this kind of residual power. It is impossible for me to reach the realm of immortality. Maybe I have to wait until I enter the realm of heaven?"

"or."

Zhou Mu glanced at the Candle Dragon Stewed with Golden Crow in the pot and his eyes lit up.

If I transform into the Golden Crow or the Candle Dragon, can I withstand the remaining power?

It may not work.

"Brother!"

Little Turtle Phoenix shouted at this moment:

"You can't get close here. Uncle Lion is very powerful. Even his head is very powerful. Where are we going to play now?"

Having been trapped in the dark pot for countless years, Little Turtle Phoenix was curious about everything and thought that A-di was taking her around to have fun.

Zhou Mu estimated the time, shook his head and said:
"Sister, I can't stay here for too long. I'll have to come and take you to explore the ruins of Heaven next time."

He wasted too much time in the kitchen.

Zhou Mu tried, but the little turtle phoenix could not be stored in the black gold bronze order at all. He didn't know whether it was because it was a living creature or because the grade of the "pot" was too high - he estimated it should be the former.

After all, the Tushita plaque can be put away, it will just damage the bronze order.

"what?"

Little Turtle Phoenix felt a little lost:
"Brother, are you going to disappear again? How long will it take this time?"

"Usually it only takes a few days, and no more than a month at most."

Zhou Mu consoled her, but still felt a little confused.

There must be the remains of other creatures in the ruins of Heaven, but there is no time to explore them one by one. So now, should I choose Jinwu or Zhulong?

After a moment's hesitation, he made a decision.

"When indecisive."

"You can ask the Grandmaster!"

Zhou Mu had an idea, took out the Qi Tian plaque, dripped blood on it, and thought of the secret.

Under the curious gaze of the little turtle phoenix, the Qi Tian plaque glowed, reflecting an illusory portal. Zhou Mu held the little turtle phoenix in one hand and the Qi Tian plaque in the other, and walked into it with a swagger.

………………

In the cave.

The old man yawned, and as usual, he picked his toes out of boredom, and then used the hand that had been picking his toes to pick his nose.

"Ok?"

His heart moved, and he looked sideways, and saw an illusory portal slowly extending and opening.

"Wow, after a few years, my 'I' finally found a new friend and a new disciple?"

The old man was refreshed and immediately transformed into a majestic figure, with golden light shining all over his body and accompanied by loud and resounding sounds.

Last time he failed to find the fun, but he became the fun instead. This time, he must find it back.
Looking at the head sticking out from the illusory portal, the old man's face fell.

"You bastard!"

The remaining soul blew its beard and glared, the golden light faded away, and the loud sound disappeared:
"What are you doing here? Are you here to cause trouble?"

“Hey, hey, hey!” The little turtle phoenix said happily: “Grandpa Whitebeard! It’s been a long, long time since we last met!”

The remaining soul widened his eyes:

"Little girl? Why are you in Maitreya's golden cymbal?"

Zhou Mu was stunned. Maitreya's golden cymbal?
Maitreya?
Which golden cymbal is this pot???
He was stunned, and soon remembered the so-called golden cymbal - during the great calamity on the journey to the West, the Monkey King was imprisoned in the golden cymbal - a golden cymbal that even the twenty-eight constellations who came down to the mortal world were helpless to deal with!
"Grandpa Whitebeard, I was captured by the bad guys from your Heaven Palace!"

The little turtle phoenix said angrily:

"They stewed me. You didn't come to save me. If the Heaven hadn't collapsed, I would have been stewed to death. I would have been cooked through!"

"What's going on?" The remnant soul was confused, and then suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder it happened back then."

He remembered the rebellion of the Phoenix and Peacock on the eve of the doomsday. At that time, he didn't know why and wanted to make peace, but was slapped back.
It turned out to be the case.

The remnant soul looked uncertain and walked forward quickly:

"Little girl, have you been trapped here for more than 100,000 years?"

The remnant soul wanted to open the golden cymbal, but his hand was bounced away by the immortal array on the golden cymbal. He was even more stunned:

"Six Paths Killing Formation?? How could this be engraved on a golden cymbal! This, this, this."

Little Turtle Phoenix was confused, Zhou Mu frowned and asked:

"Six Paths Killing Formation? Master, what on earth is going on?"

The remnant soul's face turned pale and blue, and he waved his hands repeatedly:
"I can't say it, I can't say it, I can't say it."

His expression was distorted, and it took him a long time to calm down. The little turtle phoenix shouted:

"Grandpa Whitebeard, you can't do it either! You can't even open it! If it were Uncle Three Eyes or Uncle Lion, they would have opened it long ago!"

"Uncle Yuan must have opened it casually!"

The remnant soul rolled his eyes:
"You compare me with them? Why don't you compare me with this brat? And don't you even look at my current state?"

Little Turtle Phoenix then realized that Grandpa Whitebeard was just a remnant soul, and said in surprise:

"Grandpa Whitebeard, are you dead?"

The remnant soul rolled his eyes, took the little turtle phoenix from Zhou Mu, patted her head, and said with pity:
"Girl, you're lucky you're still alive. You're lucky you're still alive."

He glanced at the pot in Zhou Mu's hand and was stunned:
"Candle Dragon Stewed with Golden Crow? Did you bring it from the East Kitchen? You can't eat it. Are you trying to honor me?"

Zhou Mu scratched his head:
"I'm not eating it. I want to ask you, old man, should I transform into the Golden Crow or the Candle Dragon?"

"Change?" The remnant soul didn't understand.

Zhou Mu briefly explained:
"Of the seventy-two transformations, I have learned the first one, which allows me to anchor to an object and transform into another object. I can anchor to both of these, and I am wondering which one would be the most beneficial."

"Seventy-two transformations!" The remnant soul was shocked: "Where did you learn this from?"

Zhou Mu blinked:
"Master Yuding."

"???"

The remnant soul was even more confused:

"How could you see that he was wrong?"

He stopped talking abruptly, looked at Zhou Mu carefully, and said suspiciously:
"How on earth did you learn that?"

"It's really Jade Ding Zhenren."

Zhou Mu was helpless:

"But I didn't see it directly. I learned it through a past memory. In that memory, I also saw Yuanshi Tianzun, and Yuanshi Tianzun also talked to me."

The remnant soul covered his ears and roared:

"Don't say it, I won't listen! Don't say it!"

Zhou Mu blinked. Is this really that serious?
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you, but Master, you have to tell me which one I should become, okay?"

After making sure that the brat didn't continue talking, Canhun carefully put down his hands that were covering his ears:
"My dear little ancestor, I beg you, no matter whether you met the Yuxu or the Tusita, please don't tell me!"

He repeatedly stroked his chest. Although he was a spirit, he felt pain in his teeth.
"I still want to be alive again."

for a long time.

The remnant soul calmed down, looked at the Golden Crow Claw and Candle Dragon Meat in the pot for a long time, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"Although this Golden Crow is pure blood, it is also many generations away from the [Ancestor Golden Crow]." "Is the Ancestor Golden Crow Emperor Jun?" Zhou Mu was like a curious baby: "Is Emperor Jun God, is he Haotian?"

The little turtle phoenix also stretched his neck:
"Who is Di Jun?"

The remaining soul bared its teeth:

"Don't ask me. If you want to know, go and find out. But the ancestor Jinwu is not the emperor or the one you said. He is the tenth son of that person. The Jinwu clan is quite special. There are ten [ancestors]."

He waved his hands and said weakly:
"Now, I'm telling you, stop asking questions. I'm afraid you'll say something outrageous. You're not afraid, but I am!"

Zhou Mu sighed regretfully and nodded.

The remnant soul gently patted the little turtle phoenix's head, and the latter yawned and soon fell asleep.

Seeing this, he continued:

"Although the ten ancestors of the Golden Crow were born later, they are all innate creatures. The Golden Crow claw in your hand has been separated for countless generations. It is rare that it retains pure blood, but it has nothing to do with innateness."

After a moment's silence, the remnant soul estimated:

“If you use the supreme means of [Seventy-two Transformations] to transform into this Golden Crow, although your initial transformation may only be at the level of a great demon, you will be able to master the terrifying means of [Great Sun True Fire].”

Zhou Mu was curious: "This Golden Crow was born as a great demon?"

"What else do you want from a newly born creature? And if it were an adult, wouldn't it go straight into the fairyland?"

The remnant soul said unhappily:

"However, I don't recommend that you transform into a Golden Crow."

"Master, why is this?"

After a moment's silence, the remnant soul answered:
“By the outside world, I mean the human world. The first generation of the Ancestral Golden Crow is definitely gone, but the second and third generation innate Golden Crows are probably still around.”

"The Golden Crow clan is not born from mating, but is asexual. Pure-blooded Golden Crows are extremely rare, far less than dragons and phoenixes."

“Therefore, the connection between Golden Crows is very deep and extensive. If you were to transform into a Golden Crow in the great universe, I’m afraid those second- and third-generation innate Golden Crows would come looking for you right away!”

After a pause, the remnant soul said:
"Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you can use it to seize the resources of the Golden Crow Clan, but you can't explain how you suddenly came to this world, so I don't recommend it."

Zhou Mu frowned. The children and grandchildren of the innate ancestor creatures would indeed be innate level creatures.
Once I transform into the Golden Crow in the universe, the Innate Golden Crow will be able to sense it immediately and find me?
"Grandmaster, what level is the Xiantian Golden Crow?"

The remnant soul pointed at the sleeping little turtle phoenix:

"I'm not sure, but what I can be sure of is that the Xiantian Ancestor was born a demon saint, and although the Xiantian Golden Crow is the bloodline of the second or third generation, he was still born a true king."

“Moreover, after so many years, the innate Golden Crows are at least demon saints. There are still Daluo in the great world, and there is a high probability that there are innate Golden Crows in the Daluo realm.”

Zhou Mu keenly caught one point:
"Can Daluo still exist? Aren't there people above Daluo in the great world?"

The remnant soul hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly:

"I can't say it's not in the universe, but don't worry, it's definitely not where you are."

"Master, could you please stop being a riddle teller?"

The remnant soul was stunned for a moment, then understood what the riddler meant, and glared:
"I am just a remnant soul, how can I know so much? These are all inferences for you! Okay! Look at this!"

He pointed at the piece of candle dragon meat and his expression became serious:
"This, Zhulong, but not Zhu Jiuyin."

Just as Zhou Mu was about to ask a question, the remnant soul glared at him, glaring back at the question that Zhou Mu was about to ask, and then said:

"The Candle Dragons are not a single tribe, and they are passed down from one line to another. The first Candle Dragon was Zhu Jiuyin, a being above Daluo, who was responsible for the day, night, and four seasons in the netherworld. The many generations of Candle Dragons that followed were mostly Daluo as well."

Zhou Mu said confusedly:
"In the underworld, there are day and night, and the changing of seasons?"

"Ah."

The remnant soul nodded slightly:

"This should be a piece of flesh and blood from the last generation of Zhulong. If you transform it, it should only be at the level of a great demon."

Zhou Mu was even more puzzled:
"Is this also a big demon?"

"Zhu Long was not born as a Zhu Long. Except for Zhu Jiuyin, the others are all latecomers."

The remnant soul explained:
"This is more like a [position], a position that can change races. And unless it is an innate creature, the most powerful creature at birth is just a great demon."

"Great demons are in the realm of immortality, and one step further is the realm of heaven. This is the true [gap between heaven and man]. Post-natal creatures must practice to enter this realm."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu suddenly realized:
"I see. Then, can I transform into a candle dragon?"

The remnant soul thought for a long time and nodded slowly:
"You can transform. Although you transform into a Candle Dragon, the other Candle Dragons will also sense that there is one more Candle Dragon between heaven and earth - but it will not be a problem."

After a pause, he explained:
"Zhulong is the god of Zhongshan Mountain. He is in charge of the day and night, the four seasons in the netherworld where the sun and the moon cannot shine. Zhongshan Mountain is naturally in the netherworld."

"And right now, the connection between heaven and earth is cut off. The heaven where the Heaven Court is located has collapsed, and the netherworld is also cut off from the world. Even if Zhulong or Zhu Jiuyin notices it, they cannot find it. It is considered safe."

Zhou Mu listened with great interest:

"Master, if I transform into a candle dragon, can I obtain the magical powers of the candle dragon? What is the power of opening eyes for day and closing eyes for night, opening mouth for spring and summer and closing mouth for autumn and winter?"

"can."

The remnant soul nodded:

“But it’s not entirely possible. Just like the Great Sun True Fire you obtained from the Golden Crow, it is far inferior to the Great Sun True Fire of the Demon Saint Golden Crow and the Great Saint Golden Crow. Its power is much smaller. The higher your cultivation level, the greater its power will naturally be.”

"I see."

Zhou Mu bowed to his master sincerely:
"One last thing."

He pointed at his sister who was soundly sleeping:
"Master, can my sister be brought to the great world through this cave in the plaque?"

"Your sister?"

The remnant soul was surprised, but did not ask any more questions. His expression became serious:
"Yes, but no."

"This little girl is very special. She is the legitimate daughter of the Ancestral Phoenix, who was born at the end of the Third Epoch. You should know that normally, the Ancestral Phoenix cannot continue to give birth to children in the Third Epoch."

Zhou Mu was stunned:

"That sister."

The remnant soul patted the sleeping little turtle phoenix's head with pity:

"She was originally the one who was to be afflicted with the catastrophe at the end of the Third Epoch. Like the monkey who was caught in the catastrophe, she was stewed in Maitreya Buddha's golden cymbal. The golden cymbal was engraved with the Netherworld's killing array, and then she appeared in the East Kitchen of Heaven."

The remnant soul sighed softly:

"I dare not think about what is behind this, but I know that if you bring her into the human world, something unexpected will happen. A big change, because in the final analysis, she is the one who will be afflicted with the final calamity."

Zhou Mu understood:
"For various reasons, the sister who was supposed to be in the doomsday just passed through the entire doomsday without any preparation. If she were to appear in the human world, perhaps it would lead to unpredictable consequences?"

"Yes." The remnant soul nodded: "Of course, it doesn't mean that the little girl will never be able to enter the human world in the future, but..."

After pondering for a moment, he continued:
"It's not impossible. If you are promoted to the seventh rank and choose a suitable position, you may be able to manipulate the will of heaven and earth to protect the little girl and cover her up."

Zhou Mu nodded silently and tried to ask his master many questions, but the remnant soul was no longer willing to answer.

"You are too weak now."

The remnant soul warned:
"Knowing too much will do you no good. Some things, when you know too much,

"You will also be 'known' by some living beings."

Zhou Mu was silent.

After a long while, he bowed to his master to express his gratitude and asked:
"Master, then I will leave my sister in the plaque, and you can accompany her, and she can also accompany you. Is it feasible not to take her out of the plaque?"

"can."

"That's good."

Zhou Mu let out a breath, then turned to stare at the Candle Dragon Flesh, silently activating the [Seventy-two Transformations] to completely anchor it.

The first transformation is Zhulong.

Acquired Candle Dragon.

After performing the ceremony again and putting down the Candle Dragon and Golden Crow, Zhou Mu quietly left the cave in the plaque and returned to a place not far from the eight lion skulls.
When the Qitian plaque was put into the Xuanjin Bronze Order, the dream began to distort and fall apart.

When the things in front of me became clear again, I was already in the stone temple.

"Are you awake?" the temple keeper asked softly.

"woke up."

Zhou Mu looked outside the temple. There was a full moon in the sky and the night was dark.

He took a deep breath:

"I'll show you something fun."

Zhou Mu jumped off the shivering old turtle and activated the [First Transformation] under Yang Niannian's curious gaze.

The next moment.

Under the stunned gazes of Yang Niannian and Laogui,

A creature with a snake body and a human face appeared out of thin air.

"Let me see."

Zhulong opened his eyes and spoke. The temple was filled with burning air. A hundred miles outside the temple, the moonlight faded, the dim sky suddenly brightened, and a spring breeze blew by.

"Let me see, what is my candle dragon body like..."

Zhou Mu smiled but didn't finish his words.

A terrifying will and gaze penetrated time and space and descended with a loud bang!

"Fuck!"

"Cheated!"

The terrifying will descended, and the moment the gaze fell from nowhere,

The night of the whole world faded away.

Its daybreak.
