"curse?"
Mu Qingxi was shocked.
I knew earlier that the Dongfang family is one of the oldest families in Dongzhou. Is it possible that such an ancient and powerful Dongfang family also has a curse that they cannot solve themselves?
"Yes."
Dongfang Nanmu continued to speak, his tone remained calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But what he said shocked Mu Qingxi.
"The ancestor of the Dongfang family came from the fairyland. He was a servant who was cursed and exiled by the fairy master."
Mu Qingxi placed the teacup in her hand on the coffee table, her mind now completely focused on Dongfang Nanmu's words.
"It is recorded in the clan that the Dongfang clan is the servant of the Immortal Lord, and their role is to perform divination for the Immortal Lord..."
From Dongfang Nanmu's words, Mu Qingxi learned about the sad history of the Dongfang family.
It turns out that the Dongfang family's painting technique is not simply an attack on calligraphy, its greatest function is divination.
However, this type of divination technique consumes a lot of energy, and a member of the Dongfang family cannot perform divination more than three times in his lifetime.
The Immortal Lord ordered the Dongfang family to divine one thing for him, that is, how to become a god.
This divination was truly against the rules of heaven and earth. Even the geniuses of the Dongfang family at that time suffered backlash and death because of this divination.
The Immortal Lord did not get any results.
Most of the Dongfang family members died because of this divination.
Becoming a god has become the Immortal Lord's obsession. He was not able to get an answer from the Dongfang family, which made him very angry. He thought that the Dongfang family was a group of useless trash.
He banished the Dongfang family to the underworld and cursed them.
Members of the Dongfang family can never ascend to heaven, and the higher their cultivation level, the faster they die.
What’s funny is that while the Immortal Lord was casting the curse, a member of the Dongfang family actually saw the opportunity to become a god.
That tribesman also died because of this divination.
The Immortal Lord got that hint of opportunity, but did not withdraw his curse on the Dongfang family.
As a result, the Dongfang family fell into a small world, Lingyu Continent.
When you arrive in the small world, the Danqing divination technique that originally allowed you to tell fortunes three times in a lifetime can now only be used once in a lifetime.
Therefore, after being banished to the small world, successive generations of the Dongfang family have been looking for ways to break the curse.
When they sense that their end is near, they will use their own lives to perform a once-in-a-lifetime divination technique to predict a future that can break the curse for their family.
In this way, the Dongfang family survived in Lingyu Continent for thousands of years.
It was not until the divination before Dongfang Nanmu’s great-grandfather’s death that he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
The result of the Dongfang family's painting divination technique is usually a painting or several paintings.
The result of Dongfang Nanmu's divination was a painting, a painting of ascension.
Having said that, Dongfang Nanmu took out the slightly yellowed painting.
I don’t know what plant the drawing paper is made of, but it feels as flexible as animal skin in the hand and has not been damaged for thousands of years.
As Dongfang Nanmu's pale fingers moved, Mu Qingxi saw the painting clearly.
In the painting, there is a bright glow of sky, and a woman in red is standing on a pillar-like platform, which seems to be rising slowly.
The woman tilted her head slightly, and above her was a passage shining with colorful rays of light.
Around her were coiled a golden dragon, a white tiger, a black turtle, and another, a three-legged golden crow...
"This!" Mu Qingxi looked up at Dongfang Nanmu. Her pupils were slightly dilated because she was so shocked.
Mu Qingxi was too shocked. Not to mention the mythical beasts that she was very familiar with, even the stone pillar was part of the plan she and Qi Nanzhao had just made ten days ago.
Currently, this stone pillar is still being secretly built inside the sect, and the stone pillar in this painting is exactly the same as what she and her senior brother had discussed!
"Yes, Qingqing, this is you."
Dongfang Nanmu's tone remained gentle and calm, as if he had known this secret for a long time.
He continued,
"My grandfather divined again before he died, and the result was still you. Qingqing, only you can lift the Dongfang family's curse that has lasted for thousands of years."
"Since the Three-legged Golden Crow appeared, I knew that the person the Dongfang family had been waiting for thousands of years had appeared. That person was you, Qingqing."
Mu Qingxi clenched her hands on the table; she was so shocked.
No wonder she felt that Dongfang Nanmu’s attitude towards her was very strange when she met Dongfang Nanmu for the first time the night before the Dongzhou competition.
Every subsequent show of goodwill made her a little wary, especially since her junior brother had reminded her to stay away from the Dongfang family.
It turns out that this was the Dongfang family's purpose.
"How can we lift this curse?" Mu Qingxi couldn't help but ask.
"Kill the Immortal Lord."
Dongfang Nanmu's tone was calm and indifferent.
But it hides the anger of the Eastern people that has lasted for thousands of years.
"Can I kill the Immortal Lord?"
No matter how confident Mu Qingxi was, she didn't think that a small shrimp like her who was about to ascend to heaven could kill the strongest human in the fairy world?
But Dongfang Nanmu said again,
"Qingqing, do you know the opportunity for becoming a god predicted by the Dongfang family's ancestor?"
"Why?"
Mu Qingxi had never expected that she would so easily get the method of becoming a god that the Immortal Lord had been seeking for so long from Dongfang Nanmu's mouth!
"Yes, full spiritual roots."
"What!?"
Mu Qingxi felt that she hadn't been so shocked in a hundred years.
"Yes, full spiritual roots. According to the speculation of several generations of the Dongfang family, God is beyond all things, but also in line with all things. Everything in this world can be classified into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time, and space according to the elements.
Qingqing, you have the qualifications to become a god."
Mu Qingxi understood many things at this moment.
Mu Qingxi once asked Ye Xuanmo why the Immortal Lord wanted to join forces with the Demon King to kill Ye Xuanmo for no reason.
Ye Xuanmo replied that the Immortal Lord was a madman and he wanted to obtain the spiritual root of time and space.
Although Ye Xuanmo did not have spatial spiritual roots, his demon talent allowed him to naturally comprehend the rules of space.
The Immortal Lord believes that the energy in the world is constant. If someone who comprehends the rules of space appears, the probability of him obtaining a spatial spiritual root will be greatly reduced.
In order to increase the possibility of obtaining spatial spiritual roots, the Immortal Lord will kill all humans, demons, and monsters who have comprehended the rules of space.
Ye Xuanmo is definitely not the first, nor the last.
It's just that Ye Xuanmo is the Demon Lord, and his strength is not inferior to that of the Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord is waiting for the opportunity to bewitch Ye Xuanjin and join forces with the Demon King to kill Ye Xuanmo together.
It turns out that the Immortal Lord did all this in order to become a god!
In this way, once Mu Qingxi, who possesses the spiritual roots of time and space, ascends to heaven, even if she does not have the relationship with Ye Xuanmo, she will be a thorn in the eyes of the Immortal Lord and a soul under his sword.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxi felt that even if it was not for the Dongfang family, nor for Ye Xuanmo, even if it was just for her own life, she and the Immortal Lord were in a life-and-death situation.
How scary! She hasn't ascended yet. Even if she does, she will only be a small earthly immortal. Is she going to become a direct enemy of the Immortal Lord?
