Chapter 394 Dream of a Thousand Autumns

"Back then, when the Meng clan was wiped out, I was still young. It was only through the desperate protection of an elder of the clan that I escaped from Qishan and came to the territory of Daxuan."

"However, that elder was seriously injured and has little time left. I am too young to control the family's treasure, so he hid it at the bottom of the pool in Qingxuan Temple."

Master Qingyu gazed at the deep pool before him, his eyes unreadable, and said:

"After the Great Xuan Emperor abducted me to the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, I took the opportunity to sneak into this place and activate the family's treasure in the pool, allowing it to absorb the true energy of heaven and earth and gradually revive its power."

"And I had already planned this. After receiving the inheritance from the Grandmaster of the Demonic Path tonight, I would take out my family's most precious treasure, but..."

At this point, Master Qingyu paused slightly and did not continue.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng looked thoughtful, while the big black cat stared at Master Qingyu warily.

The other party just rambled on and on, making it sound so real, saying that the treasure at the bottom of the pool was a family heirloom. So what was the point of searching for it at the bottom of the pool for so long?
What family heirloom? The big black cat didn't care about that; treasures like this belonged to those who were destined to receive them.

It doesn't care whether it belongs to the Qingyu Daoist family or not; once it gets its hands on it, it's its treasure.

"So the anomaly that appeared in the pool of Qingxuan Temple was also caused by you."

Li Musheng looked at Daoist Qingyu; this man was indeed far-sighted.

The opponent activated their family's treasure ahead of time, causing the Qingxuan Temple to gather the true energy of heaven and earth, deliberately attracting the three major demonic sects to activate their demonic energy here.

In this way, Daoist Qingyu not only obtained the inheritance of demonic cultivation, but also retrieved his family's treasures, which was indeed a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy.

Li Musheng even suspected that when Daoist Qingyu deliberately leaked the information about the Longevity Scripture to the Emperor of Da Xuan, it was all part of his plan.

Moreover, if Li Musheng hadn't intervened halfway through, Master Qingyu would probably have already gotten what he wanted.

At this moment, Daoist Qingyu sighed, looked at Li Musheng, and said:
"Although I was taken in by Qingyun Temple to learn Taoist magic from a young age, I have never forgotten to avenge my family. This led me astray and into the demonic path."

"But perhaps everything is preordained. My desire to become a demon and seek revenge was already going against the will of Heaven, so I can't blame you for this outcome, young master."

As he spoke, Master Qingyu took out a jade token from his robes and handed it to Li Musheng, saying:
"My foundation is now completely destroyed, and revenge is hopeless. However, this may not be a bad thing for me. After all, even if I were to retrieve my family's treasure, I would still be far from being a match for the other two major families on Qishan Mountain."

"As for this item, it is the 'Dream Jade' that has been passed down for thousands of years by the Meng clan. It is no longer of any use to me, so I will give it to you, young master, to help you control Meng Qianqiu."

Li Musheng glanced at the jade token handed over by Daoist Qingyu, then casually picked it up and examined it.

He discovered that although the jade pendant seemed ordinary, it was warm to the touch and possessed an invisible power that could calm the mind, making it peaceful and serene, and as stable as a mountain.

"This is indeed a treasure."

Li Musheng nodded slightly, but then immediately returned the jade token to Daoist Qingyu, saying:
"However, this thing is not very useful to me, and I don't need it."

As he spoke, Li Musheng raised his hand and grabbed at the deep pool in front of him. Instantly, the rolling true energy of heaven and earth transformed into thousands of threads that entered the pool, stirring up the waves of the entire deep pool.

Soon, a wisp of true energy suddenly rose up, coiled around a jade pillow shrouded in a seven-colored halo at the bottom of the pool, flew out from the surging surface of the pool, and then slowly drifted down to Li Musheng.

Upon seeing this scene, the large black cat's eyes lit up instantly, its bright green eyes fixed intently on the jade pillow floating in mid-air. It had been searching for a long time at the bottom of the pool but had never been able to find the jade pillow, while Li Musheng had simply made a move and retrieved the treasure, finally allowing it to see its true form.

In an instant, the big black cat involuntarily stretched out its paw, wanting to touch the hazy, colorful jade pillow.

However, the next moment, Li Musheng reached out and slapped it away, saying:
"Don't rush, let me study it for a while before you play with it."

As he spoke, Li Musheng grabbed the jade pillow and examined it from head to toe.

The Taoist priest Qingyu, who was standing to the side, stared at Li Musheng with a glint in his eyes.

Meng Qianqiu is a treasure passed down through the Meng clan for thousands of years. Even a Martial Saint cannot capture Meng Qianqiu's true form without the Meng Jade.

Li Musheng was able to do this so easily, proving himself to be someone who could suppress her single-handedly. She truly deserved her defeat.

"Young master, you may not know this, but the Dream Thousand Autumns is an ancient treasure with extraordinary power, far surpassing the divine weapons and artifacts on the martial arts rankings."

"Even a thousand years ago, the Great Qi Dynasty asked the God of War to take action, and the three major families used three extraordinary treasures to resist. Even the God of War, whose martial arts cultivation was as strong as that of the present day, was powerless to help, and the three major families ultimately escaped a calamity."

Master Qingyu spoke slowly, glancing at the Dream Jade in his hand, and said:
"Now that the Meng clan is gone, Meng Qianqiu is an unclaimed treasure. It is only right that it has fallen into your hands, young master."

"However, I must remind you, young master, that the treasures of Meng Qianqiu and the other two great families seem to be related to a secret from ancient times."

"Moreover, after I took Meng Qianqiu out of Qishan, the other two major families have never given up searching for him, which is a potential threat to you, young master."

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng stopped examining the jade pillow in his hand, turned to look at Daoist Qingyu, and said:
"You're quite honest, actually."

Even without Master Qingyu's reminder, Li Musheng knew that this extraordinary treasure was definitely a hot potato.

After all, after the two major families of Qishan destroyed the Meng clan, they couldn't possibly not want to eliminate any future threats. Moreover, the other two families would not be willing to accept the loss of such an important treasure.

However, once Li Musheng decides to take the treasure before him, all of this will be inevitable.

Master Qingyu may seem to hold no grudges, allowing Li Musheng to take her family's treasures, but besides being powerless to stop it, it was actually a calculated move.

Although she was no longer able to take revenge, she used the Dream of a Thousand Autumns to transfer the conflict between herself and the two major families onto Li Musheng.

If the two major families ultimately clash with Li Musheng over the Meng family's treasure, that would be exactly what she hoped to see.

However, Li Musheng didn't seem to care about this.

He could take the treasure before him if he wanted it, or discard it if he didn't, entirely according to his own preferences. The threats from the two ancient families would not interfere with his thoughts.

"What's the use of this? If it's not of any use to me, I'll give it away."

At this moment, Li Musheng examined the jade pillow for a while, and then asked Master Qingyu a question.
