Inside Yao Mountain.
Qi Yu walked straight ahead, followed by a large group of people.
Yue Zhiyin and the others walked silently beside Qi Yu. Except for Si Qing, Yu Zhen, and Li Yu, everyone else was pondering the same question.
That was…
After Qi Yu's confrontation with the little Heavenly Dao just now.
After Qi Yu forcibly absorbed the little Heavenly Dao's destiny and divine power, they, as the people closest to Qi Yu, were affected by Qi Yu's magic power. The dual memories in their minds disappeared, or rather, were restored.
With the restoration of these dual memories, coupled with what the little Heavenly Dao had just said… this gave them a doubt.
Because, according to the little Heavenly Dao's explanation just now, Ling Ruo was the foreign soul in the story of the Mother and Child Separating Divine Flower.
(The story of the Mother and Child Separating Divine Flower is in chapter 25. Those who don't remember can flip back.)
The Liu Yu Shang Shen and the daughter of the Qilin Saint Lord, whom she had possessed, was Qi Yu.
So now the problem arises.
The Qi Yu junior brother in front of them was not a woman at all, but a man.
Thinking of this, Qi Nian secretly glanced at Qi Yu out of the corner of his eye. Recalling his previous probes of Qi Yu, he was almost certain that Qi Yu should be a girl.
Yue Zhiyin suddenly remembered the previous Dragon Palace incident.
At that time, Qi Yu's original words were that she might have been so beautiful that she was indistinguishable between male and female, so the people in the Dragon Palace had mistaken her gender.
Now that he thought about it, was it really because Qi Yu was indistinguishable between male and female that her gender was mistaken?!
Why didn't he investigate further at the time?
It was too careless!
Compared to Yue Zhiyin and Qi Nian, who had already had suspicions,
Sui You, Chi Ming, Qi Yan, Ming Lou, Feng Mingxi, and others had never suspected Qi Yu's gender before, so they were all questioning their lives at the moment.
Qi Yu saw them walking beside him, their expressions changing one after another, and finally couldn't help but clear his throat and say:
"Before, when Ling Ruo possessed my immortal body, my immortal body was indeed female. But when I reincarnated as Yan Zhenjing, I chose a male form when I transformed, so I am male now."
"But then again, in my current situation, I can change between male and female as I please. You can do as you wish, whether you want to consider me a junior sister or a junior brother is irrelevant."
Qi Yu spoke indirectly, trying to avoid the main point.
Yue Zhiyin and Qi Nian exchanged glances. They had already seen through Qi Yu and knew she was definitely a girl, so they just smiled meaningfully and said nothing.
Sui You, Chi Ming, Qi Yan, Ming Lou, and Feng Mingxi were even more confused.
So, Qi Yu could be a junior sister or a junior brother now?
But Qi Yu was clearly trying to deceive them.
Even if one could transform into a male or female at will after becoming powerful, the initial form still had to be decided at the moment of transformation.
In other words.
Qi Yu said a lot, but in the end, he still didn't say whether he was male or female now?
This explanation was no explanation at all, it made no difference.
Si Qing quickly caught up with Qi Yu's pace and lowered his voice, "Sister, why don't you just tell them that you're disguised as a man? I don't think it matters much."
Qi Yu suddenly opened his fan and replied in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This is a long story, you wouldn't understand."
Si Qing looked confused.
Qi Yu sighed deeply in his heart.
Except for the identity of the male disguise as the owner of the Ten Thousand Volumes Library in the Demon Realm, most of her identities in other realms were female.
Once this disguise of being a woman disguised as a man was revealed, it would be difficult to keep her other identities hidden.
Alas, in short, once this disguise of being a woman disguised as a man was revealed, it would have far-reaching consequences.
How could she explain this to Si Qing?
Sigh.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu simply shifted everyone's attention from the question of whether she was male or female to another direction:
"This Yao Mountain secret realm is indeed beautiful, but it seems that apart from immortal herbs, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, there is nothing else strange. What is that divine bestowal?"
"Ah, I've heard of this." Feng Mingxi raised his hand, "It is said that the divine bestowal of Yao Mountain is the Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm."
Qi Yu's expression changed slightly, "Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm?"
The Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm might not be considered a great treasure for ordinary gods, but for cultivators in the mortal world, whether they were demonic cultivators or demon cultivators, the Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm was a precious item for improving their cultivation.
A cultivator in the late Golden Core stage of the mortal world, if they could obtain the Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm, could almost directly advance to the Nascent Soul stage and trigger the tribulation lightning, provided they absorbed it well.
For demon cultivators or demonic cultivators, the Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm could also help them advance.
Those with damaged immortal roots or innate immortal bodies could also obtain the qualification to become gods by consuming the Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm.
Oh ho.
Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized.
No wonder that little Heavenly Dao was so eager to bring Ling Ruo into Yao Mountain. It was to help Ling Ruo quickly recover her qualifications to become a god, become the Lord of All Gods, and become his Dao companion.
Understanding this, Qi Yu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around him, finally focusing his target on the highest peak of Yao Mountain:
"There are a total of four Myriad Spirit Pills on this mountain. If I'm not mistaken, three of them should be fake, and only one is real."
Li Yu frowned, "The Myriad Spirit Pill of the Immortal Realm is the most sacred. The fakes, which are disguised as the real ones, must also be disguised. They cannot be identified by appearance alone."
But besides looking at the appearance, there was no other way to distinguish them. If they tested them by eating them directly, cultivators who ate the fake Myriad Spirit Pills might go mad, or their spiritual meridians might reverse, leading to death by explosion.
"Alas, yes, so it's not simple. The reason why the sects in the cultivation world are rushing for it is probably because they want to take a gamble." The speaker was a handsome man with silver hair and eyes like glazed glass, who bore a seventy percent resemblance to Li Yu.
He wore a king's robe with a black and blue scaled hem, his silver hair was half-combed and tied back, and he wore a silver coronet on his head.
He looked handsome and elegant.
Yu Zhen was stunned for a moment, unable to react. How did such a thing suddenly appear in their group?
Qi Nian stared at the man and fell into thought, "When did someone else join our team? Who is this?"
"I am the former patriarch of the Qilin clan, Huaian Shang Shen." The man rolled up his sleeves, "I've been walking with you all the way just now. I felt a bit tired of returning to my original form, so I wanted to return to human form and float on the clouds. You were still picking the lingzhi mushrooms I left behind on Buzhou Mountain before. Why are you so surprised now?"
"Ah, you are the former patriarch of the Qilin clan, Huaian Shang Shen. Speaking of which, why does your human appearance look so much like my master?" Ming Lou stared at Huaian Shang Shen, then at Li Yu standing beside the Qilin, feeling that the two of them looked like they were carved from the same mold.
Especially the inherent nobility, which was exactly the same.
"Do we look alike?" Huaian Shang Shen hooked Li Yu's neck and leaned closer, "Do you want to know why?"
Ming Lou nodded innocently, "Yes."
"Because he is my son!" Huaian Shang Shen spread his hands, looking as if it were a matter of course, "He is my son, who else would he resemble if not me?"
Ming Lou was stunned, "You said Master is your son, then Master's wife..."
"Does this need to be asked?" Huaian spread his hands, "Since your Master is my son, your Master's wife is naturally my daughter-in-law."
After speaking, he pointed at Qi Yu and Si Qing, "These two are their children."
Qi Yu thanked his grandfather in his heart.
Thank you, grandfather, for not exposing my disguise as a man.
Huaian Shang Shen seemed to guess what Qi Yu was thinking and couldn't help but give her a look that said, "Isn't Grandpa the best?"
No one noticed the exchange of glances between Qi Yu and Huaian Shang Shen.
Chi Ming asked in a low voice, "I remember that in the mythological story behind the Mother and Child Separating Divine Flower, the father of the Qilin Saint Lord was the former patriarch of the Qilin clan, Huaian Shang Shen."
Li Yu, whose identity was revealed by his own father, nodded with mixed feelings, "Yes, it's me."
"Yes, it's him!" Huaian Shang Shen slapped out Li Yu's Qilin Saint Lord divine form.
Li Yu stumbled and glared back at him.
Sui You quietly looked at Yu Zhen, "Then, the Qilin Saint Lord's Dao companion… Liu Yu Shang Shen…"
Huaian Shang Shen looked at Yu Zhen.
Yu Zhen didn't need him to slap him; he changed back to his divine form himself.
Si Qing saw that his father and mother had revealed their identities. After a moment of thought, he quietly retreated, feeling that it shouldn't concern him.
Yu Zhen grabbed Si Qing's wrist and smiled, "This is the son that my Master Li Yu and I had in the Divine Realm before, and Qi Yu's younger brother, the God of War of the Divine Realm, Si Qing Shen Zun."
After speaking, he imitated his father-in-law Huaian Shang Shen's method and slapped Si Qing from behind.
He revealed Si Qing's Shen Zun divine form.
Yu Zhen felt refreshed.
Since they had both revealed their identities, they had to betray one of their children, the son or daughter, to reveal their identity with them.
The one who was forced to reveal his identity was Si Qing.
The unwilling Si Qing, who was forced to reveal his identity: "..."
He glanced at Feng Mingxi, who was hiding behind the crowd like a quail, and suddenly felt it was unfair. So, he pulled Feng Mingxi out and pointed at him:
"Before Mother resumed the identity of Liu Yu Shang Shen, she was not only the Dao companion of the Sect Leader of the Beiyuan Sect, but also the Demon Lord!"
"She said before in the Ice Elemental Forest that she had four children with Father. This is the second child born to Father and Second Mother when she was the Demon Lord in the cultivation world, the newly enthroned Demon Lord of the Demon Realm in recent years, Feng Mingxi!"
Qi Nian opened his mouth and looked at Feng Mingxi, "This, I never expected. So that Feng Sixian..."
"Feng Sixian is my third sister." Feng Mingxi was very calm about revealing his identity, "I have an elder brother named Feng Mian above me and a fourth sister named Feng Yunzui below me."
This series of major identity reveals triggered by Huaian Shang Shen made the air suddenly quiet.
Yu Zhen tugged at the corner of his mouth and looked at the dumbfounded disciples of the Beiyuan Sect, "The matter of my and your Master hiding our identities is really a long story..."
"My and your Master's restoration to divine positions happened hundreds of years ago when we were in the All Elemental Forest. At that time, we were in the Water Elemental Forest, and my Master and I suddenly fainted because of the return of our divine souls."
"Later, there were some minor setbacks, so my Master and I did not reveal our true identities and continued to preside over the Beiyuan Sect as before."
"As for the identity of the Demon Lord..." Yu Zhen scratched his head, "Before I regained my divine position, I had no memory of my time as Liu Yu Shang Shen. At that time, as the Demon Lord, I was afraid that your Master would dislike me, so I kept it a secret."
"I never told you about Mingxi's identity either."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere became even more bizarre.
Ming Lou silently calculated, so the current situation was:
Junior Brother Feng Mingxi is the new Demon Lord.
Second Senior Sister Qi Nian is now the Lord of the Demon Realm.
Senior Brother Yue Zhiyin is the newly appointed Dragon King of the North Sea.
Master Li Yu is the Qilin Saint Lord.
Mistress Yu Zhen is Liu Yu Shang Shen.
Junior Brother Si Qing is the son of the Qilin Saint Lord and Liu Yu Shang Shen, the God of War of the Divine Realm, Si Qing Shen Zun.
Junior Brother Qi Yu is the daughter of Liu Yu Shang Shen and the Qilin Saint Lord, the granddaughter of the former patriarch of the Qilin clan, Huaian Shang Shen.
After being possessed, she reincarnated as Yan Zhenjing and became their son, Huaian Shang Shen's grandson, and is now a demigod.
Ming Lou looked at this group of big shots and thought about his current status as the new patriarch of the Winged Tiger clan, and fell into silence.
Si Qing was silently counting his fingers.
So, if arranged by age, it would be…
Sister should be first.
He second.
Feng Mian, the eldest son of Mother when she was the Demon Lord, is third.
Feng Mingxi is fourth.
Feng Sixian is fifth.
Feng Yunzui is sixth?
Finding that his ranking was not at a disadvantage, Si Qing patted his little heart and felt relieved.
Sui You, as the Phoenix Lord of the Feng clan, looked at the awkward scene of everyone revealing their identities and quietly covered his own identity.
Chi Ming and Qi Yan looked up at the sky.
Qi Yu noticed the three of them looking at the sky and remembered the scene in the All Elemental Forest when she developed the spirit balls, and those clans came to ask for them.
Now that she thought about it, the Winged Tiger clan was called by Ming Lou.
Then, the Divine Witch clan and the Netherworld clan… were they from Chi Ming Senior Sister or Qi Yan Senior Brother?
Just as Qi Yu was thinking, a group of cultivators had gathered ahead at some point.
They were gathered around a bulletin board, looking at something.
Li Yu went over to take a look, then took down the notice and walked back with some surprise, saying to Qi Yu and the others:
"This should be the first level to enter Yao Mountain. The question is to identify ancient divine artifacts. The question also states that external help can be sought."
"Speaking of which, I remember that the Sect Leader of Yuqing Pavilion in the cultivation world seemed to know a lot about these rare treasures." Yu Zhen suggested to everyone, "The registration time for this first level is within three days. Shall we invite Sect Leader Yu to try?"
"I think we should invite Sixian to come over and bring the Lord of the Netherworld Treasury of the Demon Realm." Feng Mingxi suggested, "The Lord of the Netherworld Treasury knows a lot."
"Junior Brother Qi Yu also opened the Ten Thousand Volumes Library in the Demon Realm, so he knows a lot too." Qi Nian looked at Qi Yu, "Junior Brother, do you think it's better to invite the Lord of the Netherworld Treasury, or the Sect Leader of Yuqing Pavilion? Or should you do it yourself?"
Qi Yu came back to his senses and said with a composed expression:
"Oh? Me? I don't mind. You decide for yourselves. For me, it's fine to invite anyone."
After all, the three examples you mentioned are all me…
