"Bai Yin, my younger sister?" "What a rare guest. I only returned to this Longevity Ancestor Land a few days ago, and I thought it was those people from past years coming to trouble me, but it turns out to be you, Bai Yin, my younger sister." "We haven't seen each other for a millennium, have we? I intended to seek you out at the Penglai Sea after entering the world, but some trivial matters delayed me. I hope you don't mind, younger sister." Although the words were simple, for some unknown reason, every word Tao Qian heard felt like a spring breeze. He wished that the gateway in the void was real, allowing someone to step through and accompany this woman, or perhaps, like those small foxes, become her offspring... This thought was truly disgusting and bizarre, coming without reason, yet it arrived nonetheless. As Tao Qian frowned, a record formed in his mind: [Currently under the influence of "Chaos Charm Sound"... immunity possible.] [This charm sound belongs to Da, the direct disciple of Emperor Wa. This fox demon attained this charm sound extraordinary power through Daoist Transformation, requiring no mana source qi depletion; it is entirely solidified on her lips and tongue, and as soon as she speaks, she can charm the mundane world. If a cultivator's mental state and cultivation are insufficient, even at the Daoist Transformation Realm, they will be charmed, unable to resist.] [This charm sound most effectively restrains the Human Emperor's Dao, and if cultivation is lacking and exposed to Human Dao Destiny for long periods, upon hearing this charm sound, one's heart soul is at any moment on the brink of falling.] ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩 After seeing the record, Tao Qian sighed again: "Indeed, cultivators who have attained the Daoist Transformation Realm, whether human, demon, or devil, are all daunting to contend with." "Such extraordinary power doesn't even need spellcasting to activate; it's already solidified on her lips and tongue... Tsk tsk, has this woman entered the world for people like Yu Yanshi, perhaps?" As he pondered complex thoughts, the fox god-like Da spoke again. "Good sister, I know your nature. If there's nothing wrong, you'd only wait for me to come find you; you'd never actively call upon me." "So tell me, have you encountered some trouble?" "Could it be that the Spirit Treasure Sect members dare to humiliate you?" As she reached this point, the nine heavenly-reaching fox tails behind her began to swirl wildly. Yellow clouds swelled, blocking the sky and sun. Green smoke erupted, shredding the void. Her soft and furry fox body suddenly split open, accompanied by a tearing sound, and numerous mysterious, fierce fox eyes opened. Her anger immediately revealed the terror of the Daoist Transformation Realm. Even though it wasn't her true body entering the world, even Tao Qian knew she couldn't see him, yet he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. "If it were just to fight her avatar within the Longevity Realm, I could defeat her." "But if it were her true body, I'd not only be defeated, but might also end up subservient to her." While Tao Qian made his judgment, the rather slow-reacting Bai Yin finally responded. Compared to Da, this good aunt was not adept with words and didn't want to engage in excessive pleasantries. She only lazily perched there, then directly replied: "Sister Da, don't speak recklessly. My master is the Spirit Treasure Sect Master; who in the Penglai Sea would dare to bully me?" "The reason I sought you is twofold. First, I learned you returned to the Ancestor Land, and I use this token to speak with you. Second, I have a matter I'd like to ask for your help with." Upon hearing the second sentence, Da seemed to be smoothed over, her nine tails drooping, and those terrifying fox eyes closed one by one. Only one pair remained open, wide-eyed with amazement, saying repeatedly, "Sister, quickly tell me, with our sisterly bond, it's not just one matter—I'll agree to a hundred, a thousand things if need be." This promise was indeed overflowing with sincerity. Tao Qian also realized that Aunt Bai Yin was waiting for this sentence. Without giving Da the chance to speak further, she directly said: "Very well, Sister Da is still Sister Da." "It's nothing troublesome, just that I heard you just returned and used Emperor Wa's token to command the [Mountain and River Map] to heed your call." "Though that treasure is just a painting, its artifact spirit is also a spirit of the Human Dao, holding great prestige in the Longevity Realm, well-acquainted with many in the Emperor Wa Palace, and having connections with the Ancient Three Saint Emperors and other dignitaries. Your actions, sister, are really too rash." "Better to heed my advice, retract your orders, and don't trouble that treasure further." When Bai Yin finished these words, Tao Qian immediately saw that on the other side of the portal, the fox god Da's expression froze. Her eyes held not anger, but bewilderment and confusion. She clearly couldn't fathom why Bai Yin would interfere in such an affair. Thus, she directly asked: "When did sister become familiar with that old painting, to even speak specially for it?" "It's impossible. I heard that sister joined the Spirit Treasure Sect many years ago and has been cultivating in the Spiritual Tablet Heaven Secret Realm, rarely even stepping out of the sect. How could she have any engagement with that ancient being mixed in the mundane world?" As the conversation continued, Tao Qian became increasingly certain of Aunt Bai Yin's extraordinary identity. Because when that "Da" who had entered the Dao Transformation Realm unconsciously uttered two sentences, she still wasn't annoyed, but patiently gave a detailed explanation. "Sister has been dwelling in the Spiritual Tablet Heaven for a long time, unaware of the changes in the world. Let sister explain to you." "To be honest, I returned to the Longevity Ancestor Land, firstly for refining the Dao and cultivation, and secondly to escape danger." "The current Great Abyss Origin Sea has become extremely perilous." "The Source Sea is boiling, Ten Thousand Gods are awakening." "All Heavens are unstable and could be devoured completely along with the worlds and life within, by the awakening God Demons at any time." "Only a few major worlds such as Longevity Realm, Mountain and Sea Realm, and Earth Immortal Realm, which are protected by All Gods, are temporarily safe. This causes countless Daoist Lineages and Clans originally scattered across All Heavens to embark on the return journey back to the Ancestor Land..." Upon hearing this, Bai Yin couldn't help but furrow her brows. She promptly intervened with a sentence: "As far as I know, sister had entered the Dao Transformation Realm a thousand years ago, and your cultivation is much stronger than mine." "With your Divine Power means, having returned to the Longevity Realm, who can still threaten your life? Why bother to trouble with those treasures?" Not saying it was fine, but once Bai Yin spoke, it seemed to directly provoke Da's worries. Her blue brows furrowed instantly, and she straight away lamented: "Does sister not understand the principle of changing times and shifting worlds?" "The current Longevity Realm regards the Dao Transformation Realm as merely a threshold, where even my original form cannot fit in." "Now that Daoist Lineages, Clans, God Demons, Immortals, and Devils from all parts of All Heavens are migrating in, coupled with the Human Clan Gods collectively driving the establishment of [Longevity Immortal Dynasty] in the Longevity Realm, it won't be long before the Dao Transformation Realm can enter the world, and it will be no longer considered strong." "Sister might have heard that sister once collaborated with that old adversary from Secret Demon Sect to harm numerous God Demons to prove the Great Dao. Though some old grievances have diminished, several enemies are still fixated on sister, and if I don't plan well, I might suddenly face disaster." "Moreover, sister's cultivated Great Dao is different from yours, requiring involvement with those 'Human Emperors' to achieve some accomplishments through their power." "Though it's not strictly necessary to acquire that [Mountain and River Map] for success, this treasure could save me some effort if it's willing to assist." "That old being indeed has many dependencies and great achievements over the years, but ultimately, they're from Emperor Wa Palace and cannot defy Emperor Wa's Token, so helping sister isn't out of the question." Da finished pouring out words filled with numerous secrets. Tao Qian and Bai Yin couldn't help but fall into silence. The latter was pondering how to rebut sister. Whereas Tao Qian, once again felt what "losing control" meant? Previously, he had entered the world to face calamities, roaming across provinces with painstaking efforts, enduring hardships, solving one Human Dao calamity after another, and ultimately achieving a great feat by crushing the Alchemist, defeating numerous mutated Emperors, and reforging the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique, allowing the Longevity Heavenly Dynasty to regain peace once more. Billions of people could live and work in peace, without worrying about Demon intrusion, fearing for their lives. Yet, how could he anticipate that within just three years, all would change? The Great Immigration across All Heavens! The brewing Longevity Immortal Dynasty! The Forbidden Technique will lose its effect! The Dao Transformation Realm can enter the world! At this moment, Tao Qian's emotions were very complex. Though his cultivation and Dao Heng were strong, he realized he might not be able to influence any situation if he reenters the world. Moreover, he couldn't even predict the future's good or bad. Just like when he previously saw the Ancestor Spirit Daoist change incessantly due to the great change in Human Dao, unbeknownst poisoned by Evil Poison. As both fell into silence, suddenly the round portal on the other end opened, and Fox God Da spoke again. This time, however, she addressed Tao Qian.
