Chapter 637: Chapter 636: Qingqiu Highland, the Ox Demon King Reveals Past Events [Update 2]

"???"

The crowd looked at each other in confusion, not quite understanding why Yang Jian asked the Red-bottomed Macaque to explain, and yet it called for the Ox Demon King instead?

The Ox Demon King, who had remained silent in the crowd the entire time, seemed not very surprised when he was called upon, though a trace of helplessness appeared on his heavy face.

"I promised her..." the Ox Demon King sighed.

Seeing his expression, everyone was taken aback momentarily, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be related to Qingqiu?"

The Red-bottomed Macaque then enigmatically spoke, "Ten Furies drag the coffin, Nine Tails return, three lives birth and death, Qingqiu Highland."

"You are not mistaken, the ancestral ground of the Fox Race, Qingqiu, is indeed the Source of Life."

The voice of the Red-bottomed Macaque echoed through this world like thunder, deafeningly startling everyone present.

"Ten Furies drag the coffin, Nine Tails return..."

"Three lives birth and death, Qingqiu Highland?"

Shen Gongbao murmured, repeating the words of the Red-bottomed Macaque, and the term "Nine Tails" made him somewhat disoriented.

It should be known that during the Divine Enthronement calamity years ago, he assisted the human king Yin Shou, and it was the Nine-tailed Demonic Fox from Qingqiu that occupied the body of the queen, Su Daji!

And later, after he was suppressed in the North Sea.

It was rumored that another Nine-tailed Demonic Fox appeared in the world.

That one was Bao Si, who made King You of Zhou light the warning beacons for a smile from the beauty!

In truth, Qingqiu has always been a mysterious place, known by name but not by location.

But because of Su Daji and Bao Si, Qingqiu became an ominous place in the eyes of later Destiny Dynasties, a place that must not be associated with!

However, despite this, whether it was after the Divine Enthronement or before, those ancient strong figures never stopped searching for Qingqiu.

Why?

Simply because of the rumor Yang Jian mentioned.

Qingqiu is the Source of Life in the world, and everything in all worlds can find a glimmer of hope there!

Of course, Yang Jian also learned of this rumor from the mouth of the Red-bottomed Macaque.

The Red-bottomed Macaque is too ancient, no one knows how many eras it has lived through, nor is anyone present more knowledgeable about the ancient secrets of this world.

"So, is this true?"

"Does the ancestral ground of the Fox Race truly have the method to resurrect the dead?"

The crowd questioned the Red-bottomed Macaque, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"It is true."

The Red-bottomed Macaque gave a definite answer.

"I have witnessed those who died reappear in the world."

"Without exception, they all went to Qingqiu, but unfortunately, I have never been there myself and do not know how to find Qingqiu."

"Therefore, this matter requires him to speak."

The Red-bottomed Macaque still looked at the Ox Demon King.

Upon hearing this, everyone also turned their gaze towards the Ox Demon King.

Especially the Cyan Snake, she was extremely nervous, with anticipation and fear in her beautiful eyes, fearing that the newly risen hope would shatter.

"Ox Demon King, please assist us!"

Lin Heng spoke, his eyes heavy, his tone sincere, requesting the other party.

"Daoist Lord... I..."

The Ox Demon King looked troubled, lowering his head and said, "I promised her, I would never tell anyone about this..."

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng immediately said in a displeased tone, "Ox Demon King, don’t forget how you got out of the Exquisite Pagoda!"

Sun Wukong also advised, "Brother, times have changed. Since we are supporting the Daoist Lord, we must give it our all."

The others also began to persuade him.

But the Ox Demon King remained silent.

Until Red Boy’s voice rang out.

"Father, my mother has gone to Qingqiu, hasn’t she?"

This was a question, but the tone was frighteningly calm. Spending tens of thousands of years accompanying Bodhisattva Guanyin at Nanhai Luojia Mountain, Red Boy had transformed completely, now resembling a monk who had attained enlightenment.

"You... How do you know?"

The Ox Demon King looked at Red Boy in disbelief, his gaze incredibly complex.

"I guessed,"

Red Boy’s eyes glistened with tears, "In fact, mother had already said goodbye to me."

"Here." He smiled bitterly, flipping his wrist, a plantain fan appeared in his palm.

"Plantain Fan..."

Lin Heng beside him was taken aback, pondering.

At the beginning of the Dao Immortal Court’s establishment, to invite a Quasi-Saint to preside, he and Sun Wukong went to the South Sea, where they were surrounded by Six-Eared Macaque and Subduing Dragon, among others Arhats.

At the critical moment, Senior Jigong came with the Plantain Fan to assist.

After the battle ended.

Senior Jigong returned the Plantain Fan to Red Boy.

At that time, Lin Heng thought it was an act of convenience by Senior Jigong. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Now it seems that Princess Iron Fan had instructed it beforehand.

"Mother wishes to resurrect the clansmen, she must enter Qingqiu."

"So back then, father and the Jade-faced Fox did not abandon their wife and child, right?"

Red Boy said, with tears on his face, yet his smile was radiant.

The Ox Demon King’s nose twinged, a generation of Great Saints of the Demon Race, at this moment couldn’t help but redden his eyes.

He never cared about the world’s opinion of him.

He only feared his son resented him.

Originally, he had a happy family of three.

But because of the Jade-faced Fox, he left Flame Mountain, moving into her Thunder Mountain Moya Cave.

His leaving home caused the young Red Boy to change greatly in nature, going to Withered Pine Creek Fire Cloud Cave to proclaim himself king, resulting in his son being subdued by Bodhisattva Guanyin and taken as a child.

Although all of this, including being taken by Guanyin, was a plan by him and Princess Iron Fan.

But the Ox Demon King always felt that his son would resent him more because of it.

However, to his surprise, upon returning from Jambudvipa Continent, his son never complained about it.

Today, he even spoke of his own troubles.

This immediately dissipated all the grievances the Ox Demon King harbored.

Looking at the now sensible Red Boy, the Ox Demon King finally slowly spoke.

"As you said, your mother is the last princess of the Rakshasa Ancient Country."

"She bears the mission of saving her people, so she has always been looking for Qingqiu."

"But, the Qingqiu Land is historically mysterious, and the entrance is not fixed. So not to mention your mother, even some Saints do not know where it is."

"As for Princess Yumian..."

When mentioning her, the Ox Demon King’s expression became somewhat complicated. He paused for a moment, then continued, "As some rumors say, she indeed comes from the Fox Race in Qingqiu."

"But unlike Su Daji and Bao Si back then, Yumian was merely a poor fox who accidentally fell into the Immortal Realm."

"Leaving Qingqiu is easy, but entering again is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Yumian is not a Nine Tail, after falling out of Qingqiu, she couldn’t return by herself."

"So, she had to find a way."

"Thus, she targeted me, or rather, your mother."

Ox Demon King said, "Because only the Rakshasa Race can break through all barriers in the world and enter any place."’
