Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In every thousand-year bartie, whether it was the Spirit Sword Sect or the Demon Clan, there would always be a few unlucky people that were unable to display their full strength.
However, cultivators like Meng Ruyan who came from the Lower Realm would not have such a problem.
Although she was only a three-tailed silver fox now, her cultivation was only comparable to a Core Formation Stage cultivator. However, there were still a few decades before rhe thousand-year battle.
With Meng Ruyan’s current talent, she had a chance to reach the Nascent Soul Stage before rhe thousand-year battle.
To break through from Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage within a hundred years was not an ordinary heavenly pride bur an evildoer.
Originally, Meng Ruyan’s status in the Qingqiu Clan was very awkward.
Because she was half human and half nine-tailed.
As mentioned before, rhe average fox clan did not place much importance on the bloodline.
However, bloodlines are important to the nine-tailed fox, which was also the Qingqiu bloodline.
When they found out that Meng Ruyan’s mother had eloped with a human cultivator, the Nine-tailed clan decided to pur an end to rhis situation and prevent their bloodline from being exposed.
They started to hunt down Meng Ruyan’s parents.
Eventually, Meng Ruyan’s parents ran out and went to the Lower Realm.
It was just that during this process, they did not rely on their powerful strength to escape.
It was Meng Ruyan’s mother who destroyed her own cultivation and sealed her Nine-Tailed Bloodline in exchange for their safety.
Furthermore, Meng Ruyan s mother had promised that she would never be able to return to the Upper Realm.
Thus, the Qingqiu Clan let them go.
However, what the Qing Qiu Clan did nor know was that when they were hunting her down, Meng Ruyan’s mother was she was already pregnant with Meng Ruyan. Moreover, her sealed Nine-Tailed Bloodline had been infused into Meng Ruyan’s body.
However, the strong power of the bloodline caused Meng Ruyan to be unable to control it when she was young.
She needed to rely on a portion of external force to slowly guide rhis portion of power out.
After Meng Ruyan’s parents came to the Lower Realm, they settled down there.
The Great Xia Kingdom’s Ye Clan was one of the servants that Meng Ruyan’s mother brought to the Lower Realm.
This was also the reason why Meng Ruyan could use the identity of the Ye family to enter the Qingyun Sect.
The time between Meng Ruyan’s parents went to the Lower Realm to the time Meng Ruyan entered the Qingyun Sect was about 300 years, which was almost the interval between each Immortal Ascension Assembly.
The reason for this was that the Nine-tailed clan not only needed a large amount of nutrients to give birth, but they also needed time.
Normally, a hundred years was enough for a new little nine-tailed fox to descend.
However, because the spiritual energy in the Lower Realm was not dense enough and Meng Ruyan was a combination of a human and a nine-tailed fox, it caused a delay in her birth.
Because of the illness she had in her early years and the lack of nourishment in the Lower Realm, Meng Ruyan’s birth meant the death of her mother.
If she wanted to be born, she was destined to absorb her mother’s vitality.
If she were ar her peak, it would only weaken Meng Ruyan’s mother for a while.
Meng Ruyan’s mother, who had lost her cultivation, was already strong enough to support her birth.
However, with the birth of Meng Ruyan, her mother lost her obsession and eventually died due to childbirth.
Because of this, Meng Ruyan’s father took his anger out on Meng Ruyan. He felt that without her, Meng Ruyan’s mother would have lived for at least another 200 years.
Therefore, after Meng Ruyan was thrown into the Ye Family, her father disappeared completely.
However, as the servant of Meng Ruyan’s mother, and the fact that her mother had just passed away, the Ye Family had not forgotten their loyalty.
Therefore, the Ye Family not only treated Meng Ruyan as their own daughter, but they also nurtured her as though she was their god.
However, although the Ye Family came from the Upper Realm, Meng Ruyan’s mother left the family with nothing.
Her servants naturally couldn’t bring anything.
Moreover, Meng Ruyan had shown her extraordinary abilities since she was born.
Generally speaking, the Nine-tailed clan could only transform when they reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, Meng Ruyan was already a half-demon from birth.
The Ye family knew that the Qingqiu Clan would not tolerate the existence of a half-human half-fox.
Therefore, they had told Meng Ruyan since she was young that she had to protect herself and tried their best to help Meng Ruyan find a way to hide her abnormality.
They send her to the Qingyun Sect as a Ye family substitute in order to make her look more like a human cultivator.
However, what the Ye Family didn’t know was that Meng Ruyan knew her parents well.
Compared to the Demon Clan, the greatest advantage of humans was their wisdom root.
As the spirit of all beasts, the human race gave Meng Ruyan outstanding wisdom.
When she was just born, Meng Ruyan was already able to sense the outside world.
Therefore, Meng Ruyan’s feelings were complicated towards her father who had abandoned her and her mother who had died because of her.
Meng Ruyan didn’t hate her father too much. She could even understand him.
Meng Ruyan knew very little about her mother.
Therefore, ever since she was young, she wanted to find out who her mother was and why she was different from others.
However, if she wanted to achieve these two things, she had to step onto the path of cultivation.
Although the Qingyun Sect was not the strongest among the five sects in the Lower Realm, it was the fairest to its disciples.
Therefore, joining the Qingyun Sect was the best choice for Meng Ruyan.
However, no matter how open-minded the Qingyun Sect was, they would not be willing to let a Demon Clan join their sect.
Moreover, the entire Ye Family knew about Meng Ruyan’s matter.
They might not know if the Qingyun Sect would find out about her background.
Therefore, at rhe last moment, the Ye Family chose to let Meng Ruyan replace Ye Tingyu.
After all, Ye Tingyu’s background was clean, so there was nothing wrong with it.
This was the reason why Meng Ruyan joined the Qingyun Sect.
As for why she had taken a fancy to Lu Yuan at that time, there was only one reason. And that was, Meng Ruyan… is attracted to good looks.
Or rather, this was not her speciality, but a common problem of the Nine-tailed clan carved into her bloodline.
Meng Ruyan needed someone to be a target of her released demonic power.
And this someone had to have a spiritual root that far surpassed ordinary people. This was the only way to help her suppress the excess uncontrollable demonic aura,
Lu Yuan at that time clearly fit this point.
This was because Lu Yuan had the most spiritual roots aptitude among the Qingyun Sect cultivator at that time.
In addition, he was the most handsome among all the disciples in rhe same period, so he naturally became Meng Ruyan’s choice.
Actually, if Lu Yuan hadn’t been there, Chen Yan would have fulfilled 10% of Meng Ruyan’s requirements.
The remaining 90% was that Chen Yan’s looks were not good enough.
The prejudice of the nine-tailed fox clan s choosing based on looks was really engraved in their bones.
In addition, the first person to discover this chaos spiritual mine was not the Spirit Sword Sect, but a cultivator of the Xuanyang Sect.
But in rhe end, the main body of the thousand-year battle became Spirit Sword Sect.
The reason was very simple. The Nine-tailed clan had said that the group of boors from the Xuanyang Sect were too ugly and didn’ t match rhe temperament of the Nine-tailed clan and asked for the Spirit Sword Sect.
In response, Xuanyang Sect flew into a rage and shouted that cultivators relied on their cultivation, not their looks. They wanted an explanation from the Nine-tailed clan.
In the end, they were no match for rhe Nine-tailed clan in terms of cultivation.
There was no other way. Xuanyang Sect, who were despised for their appearance, had to give up rhe chaos Spiritual mine and exchange it with the Spirit Sword Sect to negotiate with the Nine-tailed Clan.
Therefore, if one has good looks, it would be easy wherever they went.
The strength of Spirit Sword Sect was indeed good among the three sects, but it was only ranked second.
Xuanyang Sect was the strongest among the three sects.
Even though Xuanyang Sect’s strength was limited, they have been kicked out because of their appearance. The development of rhis matter could be said to be very magical.
As for why Meng would return to the Nine-tailed clan at this time, it had to be said from after she entered the Full Moon Mountain Range.
From the very beginning, Meng Ruyan’s goal in entering the Full Moon Mountain Range was not the Immortal Ascension Assembly, but to find the entrance her mother used to enter the Lower Realm …
