Chapter 71: Reflections on the Past
ten cities. Exhausted from the fighting, I collapsed. Thankfully, my soldiers saved me. Upon recovering slightly, on our journey back to camp, he took up his spear and walked away. His brothers trie...A deep forest, solemn steles, the eerie and mysterious world of Ape Dream (Yu Meng Ji), with a sense of mystery pervading it all.
Chai A Si was startled and became alert as well.
I always felt that the shadows in the woods were off, like the gloom cast by a fallen dragon.
The demon clan and the dragon clan are mortal enemies!
Although everyone says that, finding the dragon clan's trace should be something we rush towards.
Alas, my own strength is insufficient. To be of use to the demon race, I must remain. Perhaps the best course of action is to distance myself as much as possible.

Even if one despises the Dragon Clan, they must still admit their strength.
Though the Yaozu are a diverse race, with thousands of different types and skills, their strengths and weaknesses are ultimately discernable.
No matter how it's ranked, the Dragon Clan is at the very top. Even Chai Si doesn't have the confidence to face them.

Look at that cowardly appearance of Meng, he's clearly not up to the task.
"Young Master Yuan, perhaps we should hurry" Chai A Si suggested softly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yuan Meng nodded slightly, his voice soft. "It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's mainly because we're short on time."
The two demons tiptoed past the stone marker silently.
I've also gone through that time.
The last Demon Emperor of the ancient times had already sacrificed himself in the process of pioneering the demon realm. His family perished along with him.
After that, there was no trace left. In this world, only one hundred and eight Demon Life Treasure Beads remained, marking the establishment of this stable new world.
With the death of that ancient Demon Emperor, he sacrificed his own kin, paving the way for his designated successor.
The new Demon Emperor ascended to the throne, rising from adversity and leading his people through a tumultuous period. He rallied the demon race and steadied their fortunes during those uncertain times.
That was the ancient times recorded by the human race.

Since then, the ruler of the ancient imperial city has changed hands four times.
What Yu Zheng fought for back then was the position of the third-generation Demon King after the opening of the demon realm.
He was the one who lost to the statue that still stood in Taigu Imperial City, presided over the "Wuling Blood Battle", and was known as the strongest demon emperor since the new era - Emperor Yuan Xi.
>
That battle, the most glorious in the history of the Yaozu's new world, nearly drove the human race back to the mortal realm. It once changed the course of the entire interspecies war, turning the Yaozu from defense to offense.
To compete with Emperor Yuan Xi, one must possess a grand vision and immense courage.
“Dragons were originally demons”, is a historical fact, and also Yu Zhen's political program back then.
Imitating the history of a thousand years ago, when all nations fought against demons. It can be said that they learned lessons from the destruction of their glorious era and united all possible forces to counterattack humanity.
But ideals are always plump and alluring, while reality is always gaunt and skeletal.
Although the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
When it comes to the specifics, like the "return of the dragon clan," things are far from simple.
To the demon clan, both the human and dragon clans are mortal enemies. Which side is more hateful is a matter of debate.
This means that today, the human race dominates the world and surpasses all other races. Only because the demon clan and sea clan are oppressed as weaklings have they formed a basis for cooperation.
To enable the return of the Dragon Clan, the first issue to address is the lack of trust between the Demon Clan and the Dragon Clan.
For the demon clan, they had already been betrayed by the dragon clan once. How could they hand over their vital point again
As for the dragons, they also knew full well how deep that ancient wound was.
How can they possibly believe that the demon clan is truly sincere in their cooperation, instead of harboring ulterior motives and planning to strike after the tiger and wolf are exhausted
Yutian infiltrated the mortal world and traveled to the Cang Hai Sea. As a peerless powerhouse of the demon race, his life and death pushed this matter forward by a huge step.
I have to say, this is an incredibly courageous act.
A common man takes life and death lightly, acting impulsively in anger. Showing off his bloodlust for a moment isn't true bravery.
When one reaches the status of a wealthy son, they should "sit upright in the hall".

By the time Yu Zhen reached that level, he didn't need to do anything; he was already at the pinnacle of all realms. Yet, he still poured his everything into his political ideals.
No wonder he had been away in the Chaotic Sea for so many years, never showing his presence again, yet was still being sung about as a legend.
Yu Zhen led the dragon clan's return to the demon clan, but in the end, it was a failure. The details of what happened are not widely known. Perhaps the true history can only be found by delving into the depths of time.
Only the dream ape knows this for sure, history does have vague records. The dragon clan was indeed moved by what Yu Zheng said back then.
Even a few true dragons returned to the demon world with Yǔzhēn.
However, the current environment no longer allows for the return of dragons.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
If there really were dragons in this place, and you truly encountered one, I'm afraid you wouldn't even have a chance to say hello.
That is to say, in the present-day realm of Shenxiao, it is truly possible for dragon clans to exist.
So he followed his heart and stepped down the stairs of Chai A Si, taking each step with lightness.
From the perspective of a human, Jiang Wang, who isn't a demon nor a dragon, feels a different kind of grandeur when looking at this history.
Whether it was Yuzhen taking the risk, plunging into the vast ocean, and leading the dragon clan's return.
...or the tribe led by the Dragon Clan, retreated into the East China Sea, transforming into beasts. Since then, the dragons of the East China Sea have never again been seen in their demon forms.
All of this made him feel the grandeur of history.
A grand and sweeping tale, floating on the river of time.
No matter which segment you pick up, it has the magnanimous articles of that era.
For a thousand years, for ten thousand years, for millions of years, humankind has been vying with such a venerable opponent.
>
The ancestors of humankind held firm against such formidable foes, safeguarding human peace and consolidating their status as masters of the mortal realm.
Looking back on history, how can we not feel admiration for those who came before us
At this moment, Jiang Wang needed to think more about his current situation.
From the path of Zhu Dali and She Guyu to the path of Chai A Si and Yuan Meng Ji.
From the Fountain of Youth to the Mirage Dragon.
This so-called Shenxiao realm is far more complex than imagined. It's not merely a place for preserving martial arts transmission, it must have a much grander design.
This can roughly explain why so many celestial demons have been attracted and landed here.
For millennia, dust has blanketed this land, as if it had never been disturbed.
There is no stagnation here due to the passage of time, instead, it gives Jiang Wang a feeling akin to that of the primordial world.
Timeless and ever-evolving, growing freely.
Still water must have a source, there has to be some life within it.
The "source of life" in the Shan Hai Realm is a legend left behind by Huang Wei Zhen, a memory of the people of Chu, and a natural evolution for all creatures in the Shan Hai Realm.
...Huang Wei will truly return to the peak.
>
What is the "source of life" in the realm of Shenxiao
Could it be that feathered mythical being
He was no ordinary celestial demon to have been able to vie for the throne with the Demon Emperor back then.
Perhaps he was at the peak of his power as a celestial demon, perhaps he was already at the very top. Was he truly content to disappear without a trace Or is he watching this place from somewhere else right now
Jiang Wang repeatedly told himself, "I must think more."
Even if I am just a pawn manipulated by fate, even if outside this chessboard lies the overarching hand that controls all, even if my ending has already been decided by the one who plays the game.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Remember to also look up.
I have already understood that the Six Paths are one, and I know that several teams are actually in the same place.
It has already been determined that the divine lightning region must have "life source".
So, what is the connection between these six roads What is the source of life in the Divine Thunder Realm
Only by finding the answers to these two questions is there a possibility of finding a way out of the current impasse!
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This is difficult. But having a chance, even a slim one, is better than having no hope at all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The sky was faintly lit, and the forest was deep and quiet.
In the realm of Shenxiao, the sun and moon, as well as stars, are unseen.
Jiang Wang silently used his long sword to draw a mark, recording that this was the fifth hour after six squads had set foot on the forest path.
The deeper you go, the leaves become a blood-like gradient of red, and white fluff drifts in the sky. It looks like scattered feathers.
There were indeed some feathers scattered about in between.
>
That was Hachimaru's demonic aura. Hachimaru's already shattered corpse, so meaninglessly scattered among the trees.
Xiong Sans thought, clutching the blood-dripping knife in his right hand and staring at his open left palm. "Ten years," he muttered to himself. "How many decades have there been in a lifetime"
Now he walked alone in the forest. For some reason, there was always the sound of feathers echoing in his ears.
"If I don't send the message, how can I possibly argue with you"
"I truly consider you my brother, and I share everything with you. But what do you think of me What have you done behind my back, do you really think I don't know You really think I'm stupid!"
“That attack back then, was that your doing too You orchestrated it all just to come out and save me, earn my trust, right”
"Having brought so many demon seeds here, what exactly are you planning to do"
"Bear Three Thoughts! From beginning to end, you only used me as a pawn!"
Here is the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
You are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unprincipled.
"Did you not expect it I truly possess the bloodline of Great Ancestor Yuzhen. My family has long made preparations for me. Upon entering the Shenxiao realm, I was immediately graced with a response! Today, you shall test my flawless Jade Body!"
"Bear Brother, Bear Brother! Let me go! Spare me this once!"
"Bear Brother, come, let's have a drink. This is what I stole from the old man."
"Hachiman is so big, he has no true friends. I'm really happy to know my older brother!"
Ten years.
Ten years is too long.
But the long time eventually comes to an end, just like this road beneath our feet.
>
Bear Three silently took out another black mask and covered his face again, smoothing over all the ripples in his heart. Then he continued walking forward.
Quack quack quack.
As you walk down the path in the woods, it comes to an end. Ahead, there is no bright clearing. Looking up, you see a winding path, steep cliffs and dangerous heights. The road disappears into the clouds, and the mountain peak is nowhere to be seen.
Here is the translation of your text:
The forest they had just been in seemed to be nothing more than a coil on the mountainside.
And they have been on this mountain all along.
What is outside the mountain It's not visible at the moment.
But here, right before our eyes, a clear spring can be seen.
The winding mountain path here encircles the spring, as if holding it in its embrace. It feels incredibly protective.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The spring gurgled, bubbling up with strange sounds.
The spring water is crystal clear, and there are mayfly larvae in it.
Though this water clearly has a source and living things within it, there is still a feeling of deathly stillness.
The clear water reflected a stunning beauty, Zhu Lanruo, with jade hands pressing the strings of her zither, sat beside the spring.
The Zhū zhēng stood behind her in silence, guarding.
The realm of Shenxiao is indeed more vast than I imagined.
It's not like a treasure chest or something, it's more like a vast world.
Bear Sansi felt a bit of emotion, but he just quietly held onto his sword.
No wind, no strings moved, no body stirred. But the killing intent was already afloat.
"I said this trial of the Shenxiao Realm wasn't very difficult at all! Along the way, besides a move of beauty enticing, there wasn't much trouble! Did the Great Ancestor Shenxiao test me with this Am I such a vulgar demon that could be captivated by beauty"
"That can't be! Your virtue is so lofty, your will so resolute!"
“A Si, you're a good person in every way, but just one thing, you're too honest! With your personality, it's easy to be ostracized!”
"In that case, wouldn't I be pledging my allegiance to Master Yuan As the saying goes, a wise ruler attracts worthy ministers. Only with your open-mindedness can you accommodate my sincere and straightforward words!"
The sound of laughter grew closer and closer.
Chai Si and Yuan Mengji, one shamelessly praising the other blindly accepting it, were talking and laughing like this, seeming to be on a leisure trip in nature as they walked out of the woods.
And so they saw the mountain road ahead, the spring, and Spider Lanruo and Spider Zheng facing off against Xiong Sanshi. They could feel the murderous intent permeating the air.
Excuse me! Sorry!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Chai A Si made a bow: "Let's go back first, you continue!" He pulled Yuan Meng Ji and walked back.
"What are you doing What are you doing Draw your sword!" Yu Meng shouted, "Don't you see he's bullying my sister Lan Ru I can't just stand for this!"
Chai Ah Si grabbed Yuan Mengji's arm and pushed him forward: "The great undertaking is not yet complete, Your Lordship must not act rashly."
"Don't stop me!"
Chai A Si leaned in and whispered, "Xiong San Si is the eighth on the Heavenly Rankings."
The monkey king, enraged, turned back and said: "Wasn't there another demon we didn't kill on the road We can't let it harm the people! Come, let's go back and check."
Bear Sansi remained motionless, sword in hand.
The spider, if it had stopped spinning its web, would not have spoken. The spider, with a face full of disdain, watched this pair of lively jewels.
They turned back, but the way they had come was gone. There was only a deep forest, dark and mysterious, concealing who knows what.
Thinking about the possible existence of dragons, both Chai Si and Yuan Mengji found it hard to take a step.
“You're saying there's a possibility,” Chai Si returned with a smile, “We could just stand here and not bother you”
Who's there
At this time, a road lit up in the forest. The Taiping Ghost Officer with his double straight swords and She Guyu with his eight-section sword walked forward slowly, one after the other.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
also eased the awkwardness of Yuanmengji.
Look at these two who walked the same path. One has a calm demeanor, while the other bears wounds. It's clear that their strength is apparent.
Here's the translation:
That is to say, this Taiping ghost messenger is indeed a demon king stronger than She Gu Yu, an existence worthy of being named the new king on the Heavenly Ranking.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was the Taiping Ghost Messenger who spoke, his voice deep and his gaze unreadable.
Chai A Si chuckled, "I hope I'm not disturbing Brother Ghost Official's enjoyment!"
Toward the yokai competing here, He Chai Si's attitude remained as kind and approachable as before.
Because previously, no one could defeat the honorable master. Now, he can't be defeated by anyone.
He didn't feel like he was lowering himself. Opening up his perspective and standing on the peak in the future, that's called being a virtuous person!
Zhu Dali took a long, hard look at Chai A Si before saying anything. He continued walking forward in his usual mysterious way and stopped in front of the spring water.
She kept silent, taking slow breaths.
In the mirror world, Jiang Wang still ignored Chai A Si's response, hoping to keep the boy quiet. He silently observed his surroundings, guessing that this strange eye spring must be the Fountain of Youth. He wondered who would arrive next. According to Liu Dao Ben Yi's conjecture, if these paths are connected, then the arrival times of several teams should not be too far apart.
"Please, sir, go ahead!"
"Please go ahead, Buddha!"

“Still, let Young Master Lu lead the way.”
"Master Shǔ, you are too kind. Elder should go first."
“Actually, I’m about the same age as you.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A new path appeared in the forest, and two voices sounded on it.
Ratsugā and Rokurota, one with his Buddhist robes torn, the other with unkempt hair.
They kept a safe distance and stopped at the end of the road.
The road at the intersection is narrow, allowing only one vehicle to pass through at a time.
But none of them were willing to leave their backs exposed.
It can be imagined that along the way, they haven't had a shortage of dangers, and they haven't spared each other from treachery.
At this point, you push me and I push you, both of us refusing to yield.
“The fragrant sea of flowers has a renowned name far and wide, how can the young master Lu follow suit”
“Master of the Black Lotus Temple, a renowned ancient temple, how could he not be among the foremost”
"Please go ahead!"
"No, no, no! It's still you from before!" Zhū Dàlì said impatiently and angrily. "Otherwise, go back the way you came"
