Chapter 70 – The Gift of the Superintendent

The butterflies condensed into thin mist, lightly coiled and hovered, and after circling deftly above the heads of Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox for a few times, they transformed into the image of an old man with a long beard and long hair, and two fluttering sleeves in front of the two of them.

The Supervisor is positive!

Xu Qi’an felt both surprised and unsurprised at the same time, and hurriedly rose to arch his hand, smiling:

“I haven’t seen you for half a year. How are you, Supervisor?

“I was fretting about how to rescue you, or bypass the desert to communicate with you.”

His attitude was very humble. Although the supervisor was now only a “mere Divine Master”, it was Xu Yinluo’s nature to respect the old and love the young, just like the white john.

It was early winter when the Supervisor was in the gutter, and now it is late spring of the following year, close to early summer, almost half a year.

The Supervisor was standing with his hands in the air and chortled:

“Can’t you see that I’m at the end of my rope, so how can I be unharmed!”

I’m just being polite …….. Xu Qi’an habitually spat out the old silver coin in his mind, respectfully unchanged:

“What is your business here?”

As he asked these words, Xu Qi’an had the feeling of a showdown, and he had a premonition that the Supervisor was going to showdown with him, on this island.

As for the content of the showdown, it was mostly related to gods and devils, and to the future cataclysm.

As well as the subsequent organization, planning, etc. of the old silver coins.

The supervisor sighed:

“Do you know what this island is?”

“The God-Devil Ancient Battlefield, it’s filled with forbidden places formed after the fall of the gods and devils, littered with tattered spirit containment.”

The nine-tailed fox answered in Xu Qi’an’s place.

Supervisor Zheng nodded, “To be precise, this place is the final battlefield of the end of the gods and demons, as well as the beginning of the end of the gods and demons. The true reason for the fall of the Gods and Demons lies in the center of the island.

“Arak is on the island this time for an item on the island.”

Xu Qi’an and Nine-Tailed Fox subconsciously asked:

“What is it?”

The supervisor shook his head slightly and said:

“Something that cannot be described in words, and when you see it, you will naturally know what it is.”

The secret of the fall of the gods and devils is in the center of the island. Is it something? Wait, the descendant of the gods and demons on Silkworm Island told me that the ancient gods and demons went extinct because they suddenly went mad and fought against each other, finally ending the age of the gods and demons.

Didn’t say it was about fighting over something ah ……. Xu Qi’an frowned:

“Arakan didn’t come here to return to the top? To regain the strength of the Super Grade? Or perhaps that item can allow Him to return to the peak.”

It wasn’t quite what he had in mind.

Originally, he thought that Desolate had come all the way to Divine Demon Island in order to return to the top, accumulate capital, and counteract the three superpowers of the Kyushu Continent.

I didn’t realize there was a bigger secret involved.

“Restoring the peak is one of His purposes, and it doesn’t contradict taking that item.” The Supervisor looked around:

“Desolate is one of the most powerful gods and devils in the ancient times, possessing superb combat power, and in the chaos of the gods and devils in those years, he became the target of the gods and devils because he had made too many enemies.

“In the end, although he survived, his spirit was damaged and he was never again at his peak.

“He disguised himself as a descendant of gods and devils and went around killing people, and then he was driven out of the Nine States by the Daofather, but he never stopped slaughtering the descendants of gods and devils, in order to repair the mutilation of the spiritual essence and return to the superlative.”

Nine-tailed Skyfox asked:

“Devouring different spirit energies can repair one’s own spirit energies?”

She wasn’t too surprised, Arak had problems with his body and kept killing the descendants of gods and devils, two things she already knew.

“That is His innate divine ability, the devoured Spiritual Aura can be transformed into its own Spiritual Aura, thus repairing the cripples, in a sense, the essence of the Spiritual Aura is the same.” Supervisor Zheng looked towards Xu Qi’an and laughed:

“It’s a pity that divine and demonic descendants are too little use to Him, just like you, an ordinary Third Grade powerhouse is of no benefit to you. And you just want to advance to a half-step Martial God, but what He wants is to return to the Super Grade.”

Xu Qi’an’s heart fluttered:

“You just reminded me that throwing that bone was an attempt to force Him to absorb the spirit energy?”

The supervisor nodded:

“After He entered the island, He has devoured a certain amount of Spiritual Embodiment one after another, and has reached a bottleneck; if He continues to devour, He will need to fall asleep as a means of digesting the Spiritual Embodiment. He didn’t want to fall asleep, so He could only stop devouring.”

So it is like this, I said how is it possible for that bone to suppress the desolate ………. Xu Qi’an proceeded to bring the topic back on track and asked:

“What’s the deal with this Divine Demon Island? Why is it hidden in the Returning Ruins, and what is the reason for its recent surfacing.”

The two pointed ears on the silver-haired demon girl’s head instinctively branched out, but she didn’t notice it herself, staring intently at Supervisor Zheng.

“I can’t answer your first question!” The supervisor shook his head first, then said:

“As for the reason for its surfacing, you should already know that the fall of the gods and devils was the first great catastrophe, and now the second great catastrophe is imminent, and the reason for the former’s destruction is related to it ………”

Supervisor Zheng spoke in a flat and calm tone.

But Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox who had heard such a shocking secret had their hearts beating faster at the same time, even palpitating a little.

Xu Qi’an lowered his voice, his face unprecedentedly serious:

“That thing, it’s called the Great Havoc?!”

He had never been so close to the truth!

At the same time a strong curiosity welled up in his heart to know at once what was on the island.

The Superintendent nodded slowly after a slight pause:

“You could say that.”

Xu Qi’an felt that Supervisor Zheng hadn’t finished his sentence, but sensibly didn’t pursue it.

“No way!”

The nine-tailed fox shook her head and retorted:

“If that thing on the island is the so-called Great Tribulation, then the Compass God Witch God and the Buddha won’t just sit back and do nothing.”

Xu Qi’an looked toward the Supervisor, who was silent for a moment and laughed:

“The two cataclysms are different, that thing in the island is indeed the core and key to the cataclysm, but it belongs to the first cataclysm. And that time in the Age of Gods and Demons, there was no Gatekeeper.”

“What is a gatekeeper, and what is it guarding?” The nine-tailed fox asked the doubt in Xu Qi’an’s heart.

“When you arrive at the center of this island and see it, you will naturally know.” Supervisor Zheng said.

Xu Qi’an looked at the nine-tailed fox and saw a vein protruding from the vixen’s polished forehead, the look of an upset heart but forced patience.

Get used to it, warlocks are just so beat up ……. He silently spat in his mind.

This includes the Supervisor and his disciples, well, except for the mascot eaters and the unlucky ones.

“The key and centerpiece of the Second Great Tribulation is qi, right!” Xu Qi’an gazed at Supervisor Zheng.

“Exactly.”

This time, the old silver coin gave an affirmative answer.

“So the Buddha Witch God and also the Compassion God, the three Supremes, didn’t send anyone overseas?” Nine-tailed Fox asked indistinctly.

If the Supervisor Zheng sells her out again, when she returns to Kyushu, she will burn down the Stargazer Building with a single fire.

The supervisor was shaking his head:

“Aside from the Compassion God, the other two don’t know about the existence of this island, it’s a secret that only gods and demons know.”

I thought the superb omniscient ……… Xu Qi an tried:

“Supervisor Zheng, is that why you were deliberately sealed by Arak? Your real scheming is also the item in the center of the island?”

The superintendent sighed:

“I’m literally in the gutter and defenseless. Ugh, old age is old age ……..”

I’ll believe the hell out of you!

Xu Qi’an knew the taboo of the Heavenly Fate Master and didn’t get to the bottom of it, glancing at the Nine-Tailed Fox and saying:

“You came to me because you wanted me to stop Arai’s plan to snatch that item from the island.”

The supervisor nodded:

“If that thing falls into the hands of Desolation, all is lost.”

“Didn’t you say that thing was a product of the first great calamity and had nothing to do with the second great calamity.” The Nine-tailed Fox raised the bar.

Supervisor Zheng explained calmly:

“Just because it was the key to the first cataclysm doesn’t mean it’s useless, whether it’s the first cataclysm or the second cataclysm, the essence is the same, it’s just the way it’s done that’s changed.”

That is to say, it must die to the end ……… The essence of the two cataclysms is the same, so why is there a change before and after? Is it because of the appearance of the Gatekeeper? Xu Qi’an said helplessly:

“But you saw what happened just now, the State Lord and I were no match for Him even if we joined forces.”

Supervisor Zheng’s tone was unhurried:

“What do you think is the most important thing about fighting Arak?”

Xu Qi’an didn’t even think about it:

“It’s the power to whack him with one punch.”

Supervisor Zheng said angrily:

“It’s the ability to escape!

“Crude martial artist.”

Crude martial artist …….. The nine-tailed fox on the side chimed in with a mouthful.

“With your current battle power, it’s not enough to fight against Desolate, and you’re not trying to defeat Him, but to snatch that item from His hands, so sneak attacks and sneaking away are extremely important. So ……”

The Supervisor paused, looked around, and laughed:

“You need the power of this space.”

This space they were in was filled with fragmented and constantly moving spatial forces.

“First, I’m going to give you a magic weapon!”

After saying that, Supervisor Zheng extended his right hand and grabbed it into the void, and ripples appeared in the space that were visible to the naked eye, like the surface of a calm water being broken.

The Supervisor was fumbling for a moment and grabbed something out of the void.

The thing looked like a clear glass ball, and inside the ball was a pitch-black vertical pupil, with twisted veins extending out from the edge of the vertical pupil.

“An eyeball?”

Xu Qi’an guessed that it had been transformed from the spiritual embodiment of that God-Devil back then, and was of the same nature as the fire-attribute vertebrae.

Supervisor Zheng ignored him and turned to the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, his idle left hand making a grabbing thing towards her.

The nine-tailed fox only felt a pain in her head, and her hair felt like it had been pulled hard.

Then, she saw her tuft of white hair being ripped off by the Supervisor Zheng, flying lightly towards the bad old man.

A small handful of silver-white hair drifted towards the glass ball, and the moment it touched the glass ball, a blinding, burning flame rose from the Supervisor’s palm, and the two items quickly twisted, like iron embryos melting.

They blended together, intertwined, and finally became a hand rope.

The bracelet was woven from silver-white hair and strung with a glass bead the size of a thumbnail, which contained dark vertical pupils, but without the blood.

The supervisor was tossing his hand rope to Xu Qi’an, saying:

“Drop your blood and recognize your master!”

However, any magic weapon that needs to drop blood to recognize its owner is at least a supreme divine weapon, and unusual magic weapons belong to the category of tools, and tools can be used by anyone without recognizing their owners.

A supreme divine weapon was born.

If Senior Brother Song saw this hand of Supervisor Zheng’s alchemy, would he cry with envy ……… Well, he might also despise it, thinking that such alchemy has no soul …….. Xu Qi’an took the hand rope, forced out a blood bead from his finger belly, and with curiosity and anticipation, smeared the blood bead on the glass bead.

After a few seconds, he managed to make “contact” with the artifact and mastered its functions.

This was a magic weapon with a single efficacy, it only had one ability, and that was spatial transformation.

Of course, single does not mean simple, space conversion has a variety of operations, such as teleportation, such as space cutting, such as picking up objects in the space, etc..

Spatial cuts couldn’t harm Desolate, but Xu Qi’an could teleport Him to a faraway place by cutting the space He was in.

However, this move can only be achieved through sneak attacks, and once the opponent is on guard, they only need to move quickly to break the move.

“With it, the certainty of the tiger’s mouth is indeed greatly increased.” Xu Qi’an said.

The superintendent, however, shook his head:

“No, you’ll hardly be able to take a tiger’s mouth in His face in your normal state, and you’ll still need a strong enough helper to create opportunities for you.”

He looked to the nine-tailed fox.

The latter frowned continuously and grunted:

“I can’t do it.”

She had a feeling that after the lesson she had just learned, the next time she saw Arak would be the first time He would kill Himself first to clear away the flies in her way.

The supervisor was looking at her with a smile:

“The place where the Green Hill Fox fell is also on this island.”

This meant that the remnants of the Green Hill Fox’s spirit embodiment would also exist.

I remember that the spirit of the nine tailed sky fox can be inherited, and the spirit of the same clan can be plundered by each other The opportunity for the fox spirit to advance to the first grade has come ………. Xu Qi’an rejoiced and looked sideways at the Nine-tailed Fox.

The eyes of the silver-haired Demoness, fiercely bloomed with luster.

The supervisor was asking with a smile:

“Is this deal satisfactory?”

The Nine-Tailed Fox took a deep breath to calm her inner excitement and murmured:

“If I can advance to the first grade and control the Nine-tailed Skyfox lineage’s innate aptitude, my grasp will indeed be much greater.”

Xu Qi’an asked:

“What is the natural aptitude of your lineage.”

What kind of natural aptitude needed to reach the First Grade Realm in order to be controlled?

“Nine-tailed Sky Fox, as the name suggests, is of course related to the tail.” The silver-haired Demoness’s smile suddenly turned a little complicated as she said:

“My mother was also a Nine-tailed Sky Fox, and she also had nine elders by her side, but none of them survived, do you know why that is?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, looking at Nine-Tailed Fox’s complicated expression, instinctively feeling that there was a pitfall here.

The silver-haired demoness phrased her words for a moment and whispered:

“Because foxes have nine lives! The nine elders died out before my mother died. When the Nine-tailed Sky Fox reaches adulthood, it will split into nine split souls and merge into its nine tails. This is the prototype of the natural aptitude.

“When I reach the First Grade Realm, the nine tails will go one step further, turning from a doppelganger into a double, whose role is to suffer death for the main body. In other words, at the First Grade Realm, I have nine lives.”

The tail suffers death for the body …….. Xu Qi An’s joyful mood suddenly disappeared and he said in a deep voice:

“That Dead Tail ……..”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox faintly said:

“Naturally, she is dead, but as long as her body remains intact, she will be able to grow a new tail every hundred years. But the newborn tail has no connection with the previous one, and as far as the previous tail is concerned, she is really dead.

“That’s why Nine Tails and I are known as master and servant, not sisters.

“If they are sisters, then they are bound to have feelings, and when they do, they are sad and just asking for trouble.”

Xu Qi’an was silent for a long time and said:

“It can’t be the Night Hime, the White Hime, the Kiyohime, or the Snow Hime.”

Four Ji he knows, the first two Ji not to mention, the last two also have a certain degree of affection, if the nine-tailed sky fox “must die”, Xu Qi’an can only ensure that these four Ji safe and sound.

“Yes!” The silver-haired demon girl gave her promise.

She was expressionless and appeared incomparably cold, but Xu Qi’an, who was familiar with her usual cunning style, knew that the Nine-Tailed Fox was not really emotionless towards the nine sisters, not really just a master and servant without any other affection.

It s still cruel ……. He exhaled slowly.

……….

The Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Garden, the gazebo.

Huaiqing, wearing a plum-colored palace dress, sat at the round table, pinching a white chess piece between her green fingers and frowning.

After a long while, she helplessly cast her ball and admitted defeat:

“It is I who have lost.

“I blame Xu Ning Banquet, after playing against him for a long time, my chess power has slipped badly, it’s true that near the ink is black.”

Wei Yuan, who was sitting across from him, had a gentle smile:

“Wasn’t His Majesty quite happy those days?

“The main thing also do not do, all day thinking and Xu Ning Banquet game, I thought that Xu Ning Banquet chess skill is high, let your majesty to see the hunt, rose up to compete and win the heart.”

He didn’t move to scan Wyvern’s dress, also after those days, Wyvern had gone back to wearing skirts.

The change of heart here is not enough to be told to outsiders.

Huaiqing was so smart that he naturally heard Wei Yuan’s jokes and flirting and said lightly:

“Wei Gong take the mother out of the palace at an early date, so as to save the future of the East Window, the historians in the history of the history of a mark: the power castrate Wei Yuan, the scourge of the palace.”

Wei Yuan said without changing his face:

“Your Majesty, Candle Nine of the Northern Demon Race, gave his reply the day before yesterday that he is not willing to participate in the so-called Great Calamity. If we continue to push, he will take the demon barbarians far away to the bitter cold land of the North Pole.”

Wyvern stopped short of continuing to hurt each other and sneered:

“He’s quite self-aware.”

The demon barbarians have completely withdrawn from the power stage of the Nine States, holding the mentality of lying down and losing the heart to fight for supremacy.

Wei Yuan put down his chess pieces, picked up the tea in his hand, took a sip, and said:

“In fact, the trend of the future, although the third grade Transcendent is an extremely strong combatant, but it is not beneficial to the overall situation, he does not want to get involved, so let him go. Just obediently make up the money and food owed to Da Feng.”

Wyvern asked, nodding in agreement:

“What’s going on over at the Witch God Cult?”

“There’s no movement, they’re waiting for the Sorcerer God to break free of the seal. Until then, there shouldn’t be any movement.” Wei Yuan said.

“What about the West?” Huaiqing asked again.

“According to the information handed back by the secret agent, the rich and powerful nobles in the western region have basically all left for Alanta. They believe that the Buddha’s presence in the world is meant to spread enlightenment to all beings, and that everyone will be able to attain the fruitfulness of the Buddha.

“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Wei Yuan laughed:

“If we are going to send an army against the Buddha, now is the great opportunity.”

“It doesn’t make sense.” Huaiqing shook his head, “What does Duke Wei think about this?”

Without thinking, Wei Yuan said:

“After Shenshu’s head has been recaptured, the Buddha Sect will not need to divide its energies to suppress it, and coinciding with the Great Calamity that is approaching, what does Your Majesty think, the Buddha will do next?”

Wyking was equally unthinking:

“Layout.”

Wei Yuan added:

“Therefore, this Dharma Assembly is the Buddha’s layout.”

Wyvern had long thought of this, and asked smoothly:

“So we’re going to find a way to sabotage the Dharma Conference?”

She agonized over the matter.

Xu Ning Banquet was not in the Central Plains, and the mainstay character Nine-tailed Skyfox was also absent, the battle power of the Great Fathers and the Southern Border was greatly reduced, even if Shenshu recovered his peak state and led the Great Fathers’ transcendent powerhouses, it would be impossible to defeat the three Bodhisattvas under the command of the Buddha.

Wei Yuan laughed:

“Sometimes, eating an enemy army doesn’t have to be a head-on confrontation. Cutting off food and reinforcements can push them to the end of their rope just as well, and Your Majesty must learn to look at things from a different perspective.

“We can leave the Dharma Congress behind and just think about what the Buddha, or the Supremes, want.”

Huaiqing’s heart fluttered and he blurted out:

“Qi Luck!”

Wei Yuan’s smile widened:

“Then, is it not possible to venture a guess that the Dharma Assembly is a way and means of gathering chi?”

Seeing Huaiqing frown and nod, Wei Yuan continued:

“Knowing the weakness of this enemy army, we can cut off the food.”

Huaiqing’s eyes lit up:

“How to break!”

Wei Yuan’s gaze abruptly sharpened:

“The Buddhist monks were limited and could not control the western regions of Noida or the multitudes of the people. And during the period when the aristocracy traveled to Aranda, the rule of the various cities in the various countries was bound to decline.

“What the imperial court wants to do is not to stop the Dharma Congress, but to seize this opportunity to support Mahayana Buddhism in secret, to divide the beliefs of the people of the Western Regions, and to expand the scale. Then it encouraged the people of the Western Regions to migrate to the Central Plains.

“Weaken the qi of the West.”

Wyking tersely sighed:

“A good planner should plan for the world.

“I will support Duke Wei with all the strength of my country.”

Wei Yuan laughed:

“Though Your Majesty is a woman, her vigor is far superior to that of all the kings.”

……….

Somewhere on God’s Demon Island.

Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox stood at the edge of a certain forbidden land that had to be, and he looked ahead at one twisting, illusory naked beauty and said sincerely:

“Please do let me accompany you.”

The silver-haired demon girl frowned as her ears were filled with woozy sounds:

“Don’t, I’ll just go in by myself, if I go in with you, my country lord’s body, which has been kept intact for five hundred years, will be in danger.”

Xu Qi’an didn’t have the good sense to say:

“Look at what you’re saying, who isn’t already intact.

“The color of a mere charm can’t tempt this Silver Gong.”

Shameless …… The nine tailed sky fox rolled his eyes and said:

“I was afraid that you would take this opportunity to molest my lord.”

The two fought while walking side by side, entering the zone where the Green Hill Fox had fallen.
