Crow in the West, starting to evolve from the plundering entry

Chapter 365 The Legendary Holy Mother of Wudang
The sun chariot rolled through the sea of ​​clouds, with nine golden crow phantoms pulling the crimson-gold chariot, drawing a dazzling trail of light across the sky.

The man sitting in the carriage wore a sun-shaped crown and a golden crow-feather robe, his eyes shining brightly like two small suns.

He is none other than the now infamous Demon Emperor – Yu Qiye.

"Lishan."

Yu Qiye murmured, his gaze piercing through the clouds and landing on the immortal mountain shrouded in colorful light.

The mountain springs gurgle, exotic flowers and rare herbs bloom, and white cranes soar and monkeys offer fruit—truly a paradise on earth.

The divine chariot slowly descended before the mountain gate. As soon as Yu Qiye stepped out of the chariot, the spiritual energy of the entire Lishan Mountain seemed to freeze. The grass and trees bowed low, the birds and beasts held their breath, and even the flowing clouds seemed to solidify for a moment.

"I wonder if I could have a glimpse of the Old Mother of Lishan?"

Yu Qiye's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a great bell, echoing through the mountains.

Before he finished speaking, the clouds and mist in the mountains suddenly parted, revealing a staircase paved with white jade.

At the end of the steps, an elderly woman dressed in a simple Taoist robe slowly walked towards the top, leaning on a dragon-patterned staff.

Her face was kind, yet her eyes held a wisdom that had seen through the ages.

"I never expected the renowned Demon Emperor to be so young."

The Old Mother of Lishan looked on with admiration and even more astonishment.

"The only thing I can praise in front of you is that I'm a bit younger."

Yu Qiye was very modest. With one step, his whole body seemed to transcend time and years, heading straight for the mountain peak.

moment,

He had already arrived before the Old Mother of Lishan.

"With the Demon Emperor away, enjoying blessings in the Heavenly Demon God Court, how could he have time to come to this desolate wilderness?"

The Old Mother of Lishan said with a smile, gently tapping the ground with her coiled dragon staff. Instantly, hundreds of flowers bloomed in the mountains, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

Yu Qiye smiled slightly: "Mother, you jest. This Lishan is one of the Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens; how can it be called a desolate wilderness? Besides, I have important matters to discuss with you here."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Old Mother of Lishan, and she stepped aside, gesturing for the Demon Emperor to enter: "In that case, please, Demon Emperor, follow me inside for a chat."

Yu Qiye and the Old Mother of Lishan walked side by side. Wherever they went, Ganoderma lucidum sprouted from the ground and golden lotuses bloomed out of thin air.

Before long, they arrived at a simple thatched hut. Outside the hut was a stone table and stone benches, which seemed ordinary, but in fact they were all transformed from innate spiritual objects.

With a wave of her hand, the Old Mother of Lishan brought two cups of tea to the table. The fragrant aroma of the tea wafted out and condensed into the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, swirling in the air.

"Demon Emperor, please have some tea. This is Enlightenment Tea, brewed by me with the Three Lights Divine Water. Although it cannot compare to Tian Tingting's Jade Nectar, it has its own unique flavor." The Old Mother of Lishan took her seat first.

Yu Qiye picked up his teacup, took a sip, and praised, "Excellent tea! The Three Lights Divine Water is the essence of the sun, moon, and stars; Mother is truly generous."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yu Qiye put down his teacup, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

"Does Mother know about the Jie Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the usually kind-looking Old Mother of Lishan was suddenly taken aback.

She did not respond directly.

But everything is understood without words.

a long time,

"The Jie Sect has passed away, its influence will last for eternity."

With a sigh, a complex expression appeared on the face of the Old Mother of Lishan.

"As long as you are here, the Jie Sect will exist."

Yu Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly and said very sincerely.

"This"

The Old Mother of Lishan raised her eyes and looked up at the sky.

"I already know your purpose, but this matter needs careful consideration. If we fail at the last minute, it may lead to another great calamity."

"You can't afford it, and neither can I."

Listening quietly, Yu Qiye didn't seem to care much.

“Mother, you are all alone now, what do you have to worry about? Although I have a wife and children, the two saints of Buddhism are in the sky. Given my grudges with Buddhism, I will be settled sooner or later.”

"Rather than waiting to die, we might as well take a gamble." Upon hearing this, the old mother was also taken aback.

She hadn't expected Yu Qiye to have such awareness.

Is this considered a fight to the death with Buddhism?
"You're quite the hothead, aren't you?"

"If you're young and not full of vigor, what's the point of being young?"

Yu Qiye chuckled.

"but."

The Old Mother of Lishan changed the subject: "Since the Investiture of the Gods, my disciples of the Jie Sect have either died or scattered. The rest are either listed on the Investiture of the Gods or suppressed in the Nine Netherworlds. Even our master was taken away by the Dao Ancestor and is still trapped in the Zixiao Palace."

Yu Qiye's eyes flashed: "Why should Mother belittle herself? Although the Jie Sect has suffered a great calamity, how can its doctrine of 'seizing a glimmer of hope' be easily destroyed? Over the years, how many Jie Sect disciples have you secretly protected? Do you really think the world doesn't know?"

Upon hearing this, the Old Mother of Lishan's expression changed slightly, and she shouted, "You brat!"

“I know all this, and the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect have been entrenched for tens of thousands of years. They must have far more eyes and ears than I do, and they must know more than I do. Mother, you can’t hide it from me.”

Yu Qiye spoke earnestly.

"Why should I hide it? Even if they know, so what? I doubt they would dare to do anything."

The Old Mother of Lishan let out a cold snort.

"That's true."

With a slight nod, Yu Qiye also confirmed this point.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the Jie Sect is not as powerful as it used to be.

However, if someone wanted to completely destroy the Jie Sect, it would be extremely difficult.

Even worse, it could lead to devastating retaliation.

Especially that Tongtian Sect Leader.

If he gets angry, even the two holy monks of Buddhism will be splattered with blood.

Time passed slowly, and several days had gone by in the blink of an eye.

Yu Qiye has been staying in the Lishan Wonderland of the Lishan Old Mother for some time now.

Sometimes he would discuss Taoism with the Old Mother of Lishan.

Sometimes he would exchange skills with the Old Mother of Lishan.

However, to Yu Qiye's astonishment, the Old Mother of Lishan was not an old woman.

Or perhaps, the old woman was just a disguise.

After the Jie Sect suffered a major defeat, she disguised herself as an old woman in her sixties or seventies in order to better conceal her identity.

And now.
"Since we are going to see old friends, we should restore things to their former state."

Before she finished speaking, she gently slammed the dragon-carved staff in her hand to the ground. Instantly, the entire Lishan Mountain trembled, and countless spiritual energies converged from all directions, forming a cyan vortex around her.

The first thing to change was her frost-white hair. From the roots, the hair began to gleam with a dark luster, as if time had reversed, the silvery white fading away and being replaced by long, jet-black hair smoother than the finest silk. These black strands moved without wind, spontaneously forming a fairy-like bun in the air, with the rest of the hair hanging down to her waist, like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens.

The wrinkles on her face seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible hand, and her skin shone with a jade-like luster. The originally kind old woman's face gradually tightened, and her features became clearer—on her oval face, a pair of eyebrows slanted upwards towards her temples, and beneath them, her eyes seemed to hold stars, with a Taoist aura rising and falling in their flow. Her nose was like a hanging gall bladder, her lips like vermilion, and her jawline was as if meticulously sculpted by a celestial craftsman.

The simple Taoist robe decomposed and reassembled in the spiritual energy, transforming into a magnificent robe woven from celestial clouds. The sun, moon, and stars moved on their own on the hem, and the mountains and rivers of the land faintly appeared.

The light emanating from the jade pendant at her waist transformed into countless tiny necklaces, encircling her body, and each step she took brought forth a clear, ethereal sound of pearls clashing together.

Her originally hunched posture straightened out, revealing a slender and upright figure.

Her neck was as graceful as a swan's, her shoulders as sculpted as if carved, and her waist as slender as a silken thread.

The dragon staff melted and deformed in her hands, eventually solidifying into a jade ruyi shaped like a phoenix holding a pearl. The phoenix's eyes shone with spiritual light, making it seem almost alive.

The Old Mother of Lishan?

This is the real Lishan Fairy.

She is also the legendary Holy Mother of Wudang.
