Facing Gu Mingyue's words, Prince Pingbian couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, his eyes revealing a hint of fervor.
"Good! I agree with you, I will immediately communicate this with the ancestor." Prince Pingbian said.
Unexpectedly, Gu Mingyue chuckled lightly: "No rush, the Divine Position is incredibly precious, yet obtaining it is not so easy. You want to acquire the Divine Position, but you must agree to my two conditions."
"Oh? What are these two conditions?" Upon hearing this, Prince Pingbian's originally fiery heart immediately calmed down.
"Firstly, once the old Prince Pingbian transforms into a Divine Dragon, he must be regarded as the supreme existence by my Yellow Heaven Dao, and my Yellow Heaven Dao will be considered to share prosperity and loss with Prince Pingbian's Mansion. In the future, Prince Pingbian's Mansion must fully support my Yellow Heaven Dao in spreading the Dao in the Northern Land without any hindrance. Of course, my Yellow Heaven Dao will also honor the laws of Prince Pingbian's Mansion; no matter the difficulties, my Yellow Heaven Dao will exert all efforts to support. With such conditions, I can explain to the Grand Celestial Master, asking the Grand Celestial Master to bestow the Divine Position." Gu Mingyue said.
Upon hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Prince Pingbian thought briefly and agreed, because once his family's ancestor transforms into a Divine Dragon and joins the Yellow Heaven Dao as a god, with the support of Prince Pingbian's Mansion, who devours whom is hard to say.
In time, the chances are great that Prince Pingbian's Mansion will devour the Yellow Heaven Dao, making Yellow Heaven Dao serve Prince Pingbian's Mansion.
That's a Divine Dragon!
Once transformed into a Divine Dragon, he immediately stands on equal footing with the Grand Celestial Master, becoming a master of the same level.
If he further uses the court's power to kill the Grand Celestial Master, his family, Prince Pingbian's Mansion, would have a great opportunity.
"I have no objections to this condition." Prince Pingbian nodded.
"Secondly, I want to invite the Crown Prince to retreat into the mountains with me for three years, joining my Yellow Heaven Dao." Gu Mingyue said, "I will personally take the Crown Prince as a disciple and establish the master-disciple relationship."
Upon hearing this, Prince Pingbian's pupils contracted; with his wisdom, he clearly understood this is directly taking a hostage.
But this is absolutely an opportunity for his Prince Pingbian's Mansion.
"Joining Yellow Heaven Dao is possible, but he cannot be an ordinary disciple." Prince Pingbian said.
"My Yellow Heaven Dao wishes to canonize the Southern Dipper stars, Beidou Seven Stars, to grasp the Law of Life and Death, comprehend the Life and Death Dao to extend the lifespan of noble families worldwide. I can directly assign him as one of the Southern Dipper or Beidou, as the future supreme Divine Spirit of my Yellow Heaven Dao, with a chance to succeed the leadership, control the entire Dao lineage, and become the future Celestial Master of my Yellow Heaven Dao." Gu Mingyue invested heavily: "Currently, the Southern Dipper Divine Position and Beidou Divine Position are about to be born, only lacking a bit of incense. If Prince fully supports Yellow Heaven Dao in spreading the Dao, the Divine Position can be nurtured within days."
Speaking here, Gu Mingyue said: "Also, my Yellow Heaven Dao has Divine Medicine that can help the Crown Prince repair injuries and restore appearance, returning to the pre-disfigurement state."
"Good!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Pingbian had no doubts, directly stood up and said: "Alright, I will go inform the ancestor."
Prince Pingbian appeared joyful; he had long been worried about Zhang Xiaohua's injuries. Zhang Xiaohua even developed a Heart Demon due to his injuries, which began to twist his entire mentality gradually. Upon hearing that Yellow Heaven Dao could repair Zhang Xiaohua's injuries, he was immediately pleased.
"However, the ancestral vein of the Northern Land still needs some concealment, lest the Inspection and Supervision Department sees any Xuanji, which would put us at a disadvantage. The Inspection and Supervision Department has the Qi Observation Technique!" Gu Mingyue added.
The two then talked happily, but Bai Cang beside them showed a grim expression, secretly murmuring in his heart: "This is not good! If Yellow Heaven Dao controls the White Bone Great Wall and the Northern Land, the Demon Race's southward move would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."
While Prince Pingbian's Mansion was harmonious, Zhang Chen and Zhong Xiang were busy in the cave. Finally, at a certain moment, Zhong Xiang stopped his actions and, looking at the flowing magma, turned his head to Zhang Chen and said: "It's done, reached the eighty-eight zhang eight you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen stepped forward, carefully examining the melted stone skin. The stone was now imbued with a jade-like luster, already transformed into the form of jade.
"This is the entrance to the Xun Wind Position." Zhang Chen looked at the jade stone wall in front of him, after a brief contemplation, manipulated the Fox Spirit to bring a chisel, then said to Zhong Xiang beside him: "Do not damage the jade stone, further melt an open space for me, follow along the jade stone wall."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiang said nothing more, carefully controlling the flames to melt the magma. After more than thirty breaths, a dozens-of-meters open space was melted out, and large areas of jade stone were exposed. Finally, Zhong Xiang noticed something unusual, seeing an oval-shaped stone suddenly appear at the jade stone wall.
Zhang Chen saw the stone embedded in the jade stone and was overjoyed, quickly stopping Zhong Xiang's actions and coming to the stone.
The stone was about ten meters square. Zhang Chen picked up the chisel, lightly chiseled, and saw the entire stone wall crumble. The stone wall was surprisingly thin as sandpaper.
With the stone wall falling off, a dark space emerged behind the stone wall. Zhang Chen looked up, due to the magma's fire light within the cave, saw the Eight Trigrams Furnace glowing with jade-colored luster, flickering with bright rays.
Zhang Chen, transforming into mist, entered behind the stone wall, then revealed his body, and with eyes scouting the entire underground space, couldn't help but praise: "Worthy of being the burial site of Ancient Gods and Demons, it truly is the Eight Trigrams Furnace."
Surveying the scene, he saw the entire underground space was about thirty meters square. The entire underground space was like an Eight Trigrams Furnace made of jade stone, and the previously chiseled stone wall was indeed one of the eight apertures within the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
