"The other three guardians are actually the same as you. They have not reached the Nine Patterns realm, and they have been lying all the time?"
Hearing Li Qingyun ask this, Ziya was obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is not a joke..."
Li Qingyun suppressed his laughter and said: "But... I obviously have more say in this matter than you..."
"Otherwise, do you think the three of them, before every competition, add an extra layer of barrier in addition to the barrier I released?"
Zi Crow was stunned: "You...you mean?"
Li Qingyun nodded heavily: "Yes, that's it. In fact, the three of them all lost when they fought with me just now."
"..."
Zi Crow was stunned for a moment, and then shouted excitedly: "Gah!"
"I know it! I know it! I know it! I'm not the best!"
"Hahahaha... they all have eight patterns! It's not just me who hasn't cultivated eight patterns in more than ten million years!!"
"Hahaha!"
"..."
Li Qingyun looked at Zi Crow with a speechless face: "For more than ten million years, the four of you have not cultivated to the Nine Patterns Realm. Now shouldn't you think this is a serious problem?"
"Why are you so happy..."
Zi Crow was stunned: "Serious problem?"
"Can it be said that the four of us are good at it?"
Li Qingyun's eyes twitched crazily: "Have you ever thought that it might be the reason for this technique?"
"Is there something wrong with the "Golden Fire Technique" that the Golden Fire Crow Patriarch gave you four to practice?"
Zi Crow blinked his crow eyes and said blankly: "When you say that...it doesn't seem impossible."
"So, maybe it's not that the four of us are too good, but that the Golden Fire Crow ancestor's technique is too bad?"
Li Qingyun nodded: "It's very possible."
"Oops..." Zi Crow covered his head with his wings, looking helpless: "How should I tell the three of them about this?"
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "If it's not convenient for you to say it, I can say it."
"well--"
Zi Ya let out a long sigh and looked at Lu Chuan with a serious expression: "Fellow Taoist, I don't know. In fact, there is a secret behind the practice of "Golden Fire Jue" by the four of us."
"Why is this?" Li Qingyun asked.
Zi Crow said: "Actually, we, the Crow Clan, do not belong to the Suzaku lineage, and have nothing to do with the Suzaku lineage. The real ancestral lineage should be the legendary Golden Crow."
"But... no one knows where the Golden Crow Ancestor is."
"Although the Suzaku lineage treats us and the Crow Clan quite well, our Crow Clan's strength is always weaker than the Suzaku lineage. The reason is because we, the Crow Clan, do not have a strong leader to create something that belongs to our Crow Clan.
Kung Fu.”
"The ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow, as the strongest person of our Crow Clan, naturally shouldered this important task. After a long period of research, he developed a set of exercises suitable for our Crow Clan, "Golden Fire Technique". This set of exercises
The method is practiced on the low-level Crow Clan, and the effect is very obvious. The low-level Crow Clan can also be as strong as the strong ones of the Suzaku lineage."
"The Gray Crow and I, as the stronger members of the Crow Clan, also shouldered this responsibility and began to practice the "Golden Fire Art" 13 million years ago."
"In just half a million years, the four of us have practiced the Golden Fire Art to the eighth level, but this last one... who knew there would be such a problem!"
Zi Crow sighed and said: "The ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow must have seen the status of the four of us, but it did not reveal the four of us. There is only one possibility."
"The problem is that it didn't find the ninth pattern either."
Li Qingyun looked at Zi Crow and nodded slightly: "Your speculation is extremely possible."
Zi Crow said again: "Under the bloodline of Suzaku, there are four powerful men: Sky-Swallowing Bird, Nine-Headed Bird, Chongming, and Bi Fang."
"These four strong men represent the four directions of devouring, evolving, light, and flame."
"To be honest, the ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow has cultivated these four avenues to a very strong level a long time ago, but for the future of the Crow Clan and the upper limit of its future, it chose to create a path belonging to the Crow Clan.
road."
"We thought we had hope, but who would have thought that such a problem would happen again..."
Zi Crow kept chattering to Li Qingyun.
But at this time, Li Qingyun seemed to be hit by something, and was stunned on the spot.
What Zi Ya just said kept echoing in his mind.
The four powerful men, Sky Swallowing Bird, Nine-headed Bird, Chongming, and Bi Fang, represent the four directions of swallowing, evolution, light, and flame... The Golden Fire Crow has already cultivated these four directions to an extremely advanced level.
, but for the future of the Crow Clan and the upper limit of its future, it chose to create a path belonging to the Crow Clan...
This... how similar is it to myself?
The avenue that I am practicing now comes entirely from the four powerful men: Demon Lord, Underworld Emperor, Saint Ancestor, and Immortal Emperor, and I have already made some small achievements in practice...
These powers are indeed very strong and can give you the strength to fight across levels.
but……
After all, these powers belong to the Demon Clan, the Nether Clan, the Saint Clan, and the Immortal Clan. They do not belong to you at all! Nor do they belong to the Spirit Clan!
If you want to become a truly strong person, become a deity, become an emperor, or even surpass the emperor level and become a big shot like Suzaku, you must create your own path!
At this moment, Li Qingyun realized.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He suddenly burst out laughing.
It turns out that what I have been thinking all along has been wrong.
No matter whether you use a combination of the Demonic Avenue, the Ghostly Avenue, the Holy Light Avenue, and the Immortal Avenue, or find a way to merge these four avenues into one avenue, it is all wrong!
None of these are suitable for you!
What is truly suitable for you is to create your own path!
The path that belongs to the spiritual world!
The Spirit Race should have its own avenue!
Everything became clear and clear, Li Qingyun felt as if his mind had been opened, and he felt happy looking at everything.
At this time, Ziya on the side was telling Li Qingyun about the painful past of belonging to the Crow clan, but when he heard Li Qingyun suddenly laugh, he immediately looked at Li Qingyun with a look of astonishment:
"Fellow Daoist Li, are you looking for trouble?"
Li Qingyun waved his hands quickly: "Hahahaha... No, no, I just suddenly remembered something happy."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The veins on Zi Crow's forehead bulged, and he said fiercely: "Friend Daoist Li, I advise you not to be so arrogant. Our four guardians are no match for you, but our Golden Fire Crow ancestors can deal with you at will."
Li Qingyun: "Hahahahaha...Okay!"
Zi Crow: "...Forget it, just laugh."
…
…
A quarter of an hour later, Li Qingyun regained his composure, stopped laughing, and said seriously to Zi Crow: "Fellow Zi Crow, I actually deeply sympathize with your Crow clan's experience, and at the same time I am impressed by your Crow clan's strong spirit.
move."
"So, can you recommend me to meet the ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow?"
Zi Ya on the chair looked at Li Qingyun helplessly: "I don't believe you."
Then he turned around and turned his back to Li Qingyun without speaking.
Seeing this, Li Qingyun stepped forward and said: "Well... I laughed like that just now. It was purely accidental. What the main Taoist friend said was so good. It touched my practice and made me understand a great way, so I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"
"Fellow Taoist, please calm down."
As he spoke, he said to King Zheng Guoguo who was standing in the distance: "What are you doing standing still! Come and persuade the Purple Crow Protector, the most powerful of the four protectors!"
"Ah! Yes!" The King of Zheng State immediately stepped forward, preparing to persuade Zi Crow together with Li Qingyun.
But at this time, Zi Crow tilted his head slightly and said: "There is no need for this. Although I am the most powerful among the four guardians, I am not that indifferent."
"If you want to see the ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow, you must get the consent of our four guardians. Therefore, it is useless for me to agree on my own. Four people are needed together."
"Then you call the three of them back. They should not have gone far yet." Li Qingyun heard this and said directly to Zi Crow.
"Are you sure that all four of us will agree?" Zi Crow asked.
"Of course." Li Qingyun nodded.
"Okay!" Zi Crow activated the messenger magic weapon to send a summons to the outside world, summoning the other three guardians to return.
After another half an hour, the other three crows returned and sat at the table.
Zi Crow looked at the other three crows and said: "Three of you, this fellow Taoist Li Qingyun wants to ask to see the ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow. This matter requires the four of us to vote together."
"Now, let's vote on this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gray Crow took the lead in raising his wings and said: "The ancestor of Golden Fire Crow seems to be in retreat now and should not be disturbed, so I don't agree."
Red Crow also nodded: "I don't agree either."
Pink Crow: "Yes, if you disturb me during the retreat, there may be problems."
Zi Ya said to Li Qingyun: "Look, I just said that in this situation, there is nothing I can do even if I agree."
Li Qingyun looked at the other three crows and said at the same time: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell you that you have not broken through the Nine Marks?"
As soon as these words came out, the three crows looked a little shaken, but they all immediately sent a message back:
"Fellow Taoist, you accepted my storage bag. If you break the contract, you will owe me karma."
After saying that, they immediately looked away and looked elsewhere. Obviously, they didn't like Li Qingyun's tricks.
"well--"
Li Qingyun let out a long sigh: "It seems that you are trying to be tough but not soft..."
Then he stood up, with terrifying spiritual power surging around him.
The next moment, the demonic incarnation, the underworld incarnation, and the holy incarnation appeared in three directions at the same time, with murderous intent.
When the four crows saw this, they immediately trembled and looked horrified.
Li Qingyun said calmly: "You have two choices now."
"The first one who continues to disagree will be killed by me and your Crow Clan will be annihilated."
"Second, honestly introduce me to the ancestor of the Golden Fire Crow."
"Don't think I don't know. It has been in seclusion for 9.99 million out of 10 million years at this level. Is it because of this that it doesn't see anyone?"
