　　Xu Taiping looked at the Moon Shadow Stone in confusion, and then looked at Huang Que again.
　　“Take　a　look.”
　　Huang Que nodded with a smile at him.
　　This time, Xu Taiping placed his hand on the Moon Shadow Stone and injected a wisp of True Yuan into it.
　　After injecting the True Yuan, a ball of mist rose from the Moon Shadow Stone.
　　Soon, a scene appeared within the mist.
　　In the scene, a blood-covered youth, carrying the knife in his hand like a madman, charged towards opponents several times his number.
　　That’s right, this was exactly the scene when Xu Taiping, in front of the Lotus Temple that day, after activating the Du’e Asura Precept, fought against all the cultivators present alone.
　　“Did you give it to them？”
　　Xu Taiping asked Huang Que curiously.
“When we submitted the roster, there was no such thing as the Thousand Buddha Kingdom. There has never been an example of making up for it after the fact before.
　　Huang Que shook his head.
　　“However, in this Moon Shadow Stone, the last part of the scene is something that is not in other Moon Shadow Stones. I think it should be left by the cultivator who fought with you until the end.”
　　He reached out and gently held the Moon Shadow Stone, and the scene on the screen immediately came to the scene where Xu Taiping was fighting with a certain cultivator.
　　“I know who it is.”
　　Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping suddenly realized.
　　Although this last scene only appeared for a moment or two, Xu Taiping still recalled it.
　　“Who？”
　　Not only Xu Taiping, but in fact, Huang Que and the Nine Mansions also really wanted to know who exactly delivered this Moon Shadow Stone to Youyun Mansion.
　　“Among the opponents I encountered at Lotus Temple that day, the one with the strongest strength was not Nie Chen of Huangfeng Valley, but the disciple of Elder Duan, the former head of Tian Dao Sect, Shang Jiu.”
　　Xu Taiping did not hide anything from Huang Que.
　　After hearing this name, a distinct look of horror emerged on Huang Que’s face.
　　“This Shang Jiu is actually still alive？！”
　　he exclaimed.
　　“Still alive.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then said：
　　“At that time, he once said that he did not come from Zhenwu Heaven, but entered Thousand Buddha Country from Youyun Heaven.”
　　Upon hearing this, Huang Que nodded and said with a sudden realization on his face：
　　“So that’s the case. This Shang Jiu didn’t die, but went to Youyun Heaven.”
　　But then he immediately had a look of doubt and said：
　　“But why would he help you deliver this Moon Shadow Stone？”
　　Regarding this question, Xu Taiping actually had an answer in his heart. After all, that Shang Jiu had said when he was leaving that he should go to Wind Saber Valley in Youyun Heaven if he had the opportunity.
　　It’s just that this question concerns some secrets between Duan Tianya and Shang Jiu. Even out of respect for Elder Duan, he couldn’t tell outsiders.
　　“I　don’t　know.”
　　So he chose to hide this matter from Huang Que.
　　“Shangjiu’s actions have always been unpredictable, but no matter what, this matter is a good thing for you, for the Jiufu, and even for the entire Zhenwu Heaven.”
　　Huangque looked at Xu Taiping seriously again.
　　“So you’re afraid that I’ll die in the Seven Peaks Competition before going to Youyun Tian, right？”
　　Xu Taiping asked with a smile.
　　“To tell you the truth, Taiping.”
　　Huangque put his hands on the stone table and looked at Xu Taiping seriously and said：
　　“Within the boundaries of Zhenwu Heaven, the Jiufu can protect your safety. Even if your sect leader personally takes action to kill you, we can also invite Senior Ameng to protect you. But once you enter Qingxuan, we will be helpless.”
　　“Why？”
　　Xu Taiping was very curious.
　　“Because the Yunlu Mountain where your Qingxuan Sect is located is itself an ancient sword array. This sword array is called Shixian, with the seven peaks as the eyes of the array and the peaks of Yunlu Mountain as the swords, moving according to the will of the sect leader.”
　　“If it’s a disciple of this sect, it’s better. As long as you don’t break the rules, even the sect leader can’t manipulate the sword array to kill you.”
　　“But if it’s an outsider, even if it’s a God-refining Realm cultivator, it will still kill you without hesitation.”
　　“Even, I once heard the older generation of my Xiaoyao Sect say that there was once a Transforming Realm cultivator who broke into Qingxuan, and as a result, the Shixian Sword Array still killed him without hesitation.”
　　“Back then, when Amon asked Su Chan for a sword fight, he was almost killed by your Sword Array to Slay Immortals. After that time, he was locked up by the Pure Yang Sword Sect.”
　　“Over the years, outer sect cultivators, especially those in the Divine Refinement Realm, basically go around your Qingxuan.”
　　“So, if you go back to Qingxuan, we really have no way to help.”
　　Huangque shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
　　“So that’s how it is.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this.
　　Over the years in Qingxuan, he really rarely heard of foreign cultivators coming to Qingxuan.
　　“Taiping, listen to your big brother’s advice. Don’t go back to Qingxuan. Now start preparing to go to Youyun Heaven.”
　　“As long as you can participate in the Golden Scale Meeting, you will be the first person in five hundred years in True Martial Heaven. Even if you don’t make the list, you can still obtain the destiny of the Youyun Great Emperor. Your future is bound to be limitless.”
　　“I think even if Qingxiao were here, he would definitely persuade you like this！”
　　Huangque said earnestly to Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping could see that Huangque was truly thinking about him.
　　But in the end, he still shook his head and said：
　　“I really want to see the Golden Scale Meeting, but I won’t give up my senior brothers and sisters on the Seventh Peak because of it.”
　　“That’s a dead end！”
　　Huangque was so angry with Xu Taiping that he slapped the table again and again.
　　“The path of cultivation is long. Only by knowing how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and seek good fortune and avoid disasters, can one go further！”
　　He earnestly persuaded Xu Taiping once again.
　　“Brother Huangque.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile at Huangque, and then continued：
　　“I know better than anyone that to get to where I am today, apart from luckily obtaining opportunities, what I rely on is not seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and seeking good fortune and avoiding disasters.”
　　“But contention.”
　　“Contend with wolves, contend with changgui, contend with tiger demons, and contend with the disciples on all the mountains.”
　　“And now, if I, an ordinary mortal, even lose the courage to fight for my senior sisters and brothers, I will have lost the foundation of cultivation, and this path of cultivation will surely not be able to go far.”
　　After the journey to the wild, Xu Taiping already had a clear answer in his heart about which path of cultivation to take in the future – first fight for himself, and if there is spare energy, then fight for those close to him, and if there is more spare energy, then fight for the people of the world.
　　For example, if one day the demons invade the human world again, and he, Xu Taiping, has the power to fight, then he will undoubtedly do his part for the world without hesitation.
