Chapter 38 The Power of the Qilin Seal
Chapter 38 The Power of the Qilin Seal
"Fellow Daoist Shuli, please rise quickly!"
Mo Yuan stepped forward and used his magic to help Shu Li up.
Putting aside her status as an illegitimate child of the Qilin clan, Shuli is a maidservant of the Queen Mother of the West, one of the rulers of the Immortal Court of Zifu Continent. It wouldn't be right to have her kneeling before him all the time.
If this matter gets out, and is deliberately fabricated by those with ulterior motives, they will surely accuse him of disregarding the laws and rituals of Heaven.
Mo Yuan's expression turned solemn. He slowly said, "I have inherited the ancestral legacy and occupy the blessed land of Qilin Cliff, but I will never use my title as the young master of the Qilin Clan to intimidate others. Fellow Daoist Shu Li, as a subordinate of the Queen Mother of the West, should not be so overbearing towards me!"
"During the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation, the three races fought each other, causing endless disasters. There were countless so-called bastards like Fellow Daoist Shuli who were abandoned by their races, and only a drop in the ocean were able to survive."
At this point, a look of emotion appeared in Mo Yuan's eyes.
If it weren't for the wonderful parents, the daughter of the Xuanhuang Qilin and the Zhulong, Shuli would never have been able to escape the calamity of the Dragon-Han First Tribulation, nor would she have been able to live a new life in the era of the Lich-Demon Great Tribulation.
With a slightly serious expression, he continued, "Since Fellow Daoist Shuli is valued by the Queen Mother of the West, it must be the Heavenly Dao's boundless mercy that has granted you a second chance. How could I possibly defy the Heavenly Dao's will?"
"I will help you wash away the backlash and curse of the Qilin clan's fortune. At the same time, if you want to acknowledge your ancestors and return to the clan, and identify yourself as a member of the Qilin clan from now on, then you may follow your heart."
The era of the Dragon and Han clans has passed, and taboos such as illegitimate births are all meaningless to him.
Since he can wield the Qilin Seal, the supreme treasure of the Qilin clan, and occupy the Qilin Cliff, which was transformed from the original Qilin, he can handle clan affairs as the young master of the Qilin clan.
Shuli's request was not unreasonable in his eyes, so why couldn't he grant her wish?
As for the promises made by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Mo Yuan did not pay too much attention to them. He had no intention of getting involved in the power struggle between the Purple Mansion Continent Immortal Court, the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, and the Witch Clan. Everything he did was in accordance with the Way of Heaven and the Dao Heart.
"Shuli is extremely grateful and thanks the young master!"
After seeing that Mo Yuan agreed, she was about to kneel and bow again.
At the critical moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stopped Shuli, for she understood Mo Yuan's intentions.
Then, Mo Yuan said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Shuli is someone valued by the Queen Mother of the West, and is also a close friend of Fellow Daoist Jiutian Xuannv. Why don't you stop calling me Young Master from now on, and address me as Fellow Daoist?"
If Shuli were a commoner, without the identity of a maid or servant of the Queen Mother of the West, he would accept the title of young master without any qualms. But now, forget it!
The purpose was to avoid suspicion!
"Shuli, let's do as Fellow Daoist Moyuan says."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was very perceptive, and she agreed on behalf of the hesitant Shuli.
After Shuli calmed down, Mo Yuan prepared to cleanse her of the backlash and curse of the Qilin clan's fortune. His aura became magnificent, and his eyes shone with divine light.
"Fellow Daoist Shuli, revealing your Qilin bloodline and your True Immortal Dao Fruit may cause you great pain in the process of washing away the backlash and curse, but you must endure it."

As Mo Yuan spoke, the colorful clouds and mist became even more dazzling.
His demeanor was dignified, and he possessed supreme holiness and virtue.
With a slight movement of his divine sense, an ancient and simple treasure seal flew out from between Mo Yuan's eyebrows. It hovered in the void, and the vast Dao charm it exuded distorted space and time, causing the birds and beasts in the Qilin Cliff territory to prostrate themselves in worship.
"The Qilin Seal, a treasure of the Qilin clan's destiny!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's clear eyes suddenly narrowed, the runes within them abruptly freezing. A look of surprise appeared on her exquisite face, which then gradually turned into relief.
The supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Qilin Seal, has actually been obtained by Mo Yuan.
At this moment, some of the doubts in her heart began to be resolved. She understood why the secret of Mo Yuan being the young master of the Qilin clan was spread from within the Buzhou Mountain region. It turned out that Mo Yuan went to Buzhou Mountain thousands of years ago to find the Qilin Seal.
All the clues were sorted out, and the mystery surrounding Mo Yuan was finally solved.
However, she had a misconception that she still couldn't see through Mo Yuan's true nature.
"Thanks to the blessings bestowed by our ancestors and the favor of the Heavenly Lord, I was able to find this treasure of the Qilin Clan's destiny. If I want to help Shuli escape her suffering, I must use it."
"However, I hope that you two fellow Daoists will keep the matter of me bearing the Qilin Seal a secret and not mention it to anyone other than the Queen Mother of the West."
Mo Yuan looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and said softly.
The Qilin Seal is a treasure of the Qilin clan's fortune. Anyone who tries to possess this treasure will inevitably suffer a backlash from the Qilin clan's fortune, since they lack virtue and have shallow blessings. However, if they are targeted by the Purple Mansion Continent Immortal Court or the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, they will be in danger.
As the saying goes, the greatest treasures belong only to the virtuous!
With the Heavenly Dao's fortune and the power over Heaven and Earth held by the Celestial Court of Zifu Continent and the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, they were capable of taking risks to snatch the Qilin Seal from his hands.
That's why Mo Yuan said those words!
Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's expression turned solemn. She said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, we are not ungrateful people, and we will absolutely not tell any fourth person other than the Queen Mother of the West about this matter."
"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan is valued by two sages from the Chan Sect and the Human Sect. If we dare to reveal heavenly secrets, we may suffer a catastrophic disaster, and even the Western Kunlun and the Purple Mansion Continent Immortal Court will be affected."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden knew the seriousness of the matter.
In this day and age, let alone top-grade innate spiritual treasures, even ordinary innate spiritual treasures have probably been looted by various powerful beings.
In particular, top-grade innate spiritual treasures are limited in number, and once they appear in the world, even top-tier quasi-saints will be tempted, and those great Luo Golden Immortals will flock to them.
If word gets out that Mo Yuan is in charge of the Qilin Seal, there will inevitably be some ruthless villains who will try to take action against him. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Shu Li will keep their mouths shut.
They didn't want him to suffer a calamity and then lose his life because of this karma.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, I shall begin!"
Seeing the somewhat heavy atmosphere, Shuli activated her magic.
As her blood and qi surged within her body, two illusory figures appeared behind her. One was a Xuanhuang Qilin that was all-powerful and wielded the laws of Wutu, and the other was a woman wearing a Xuan Tian Nightfall dress with the original divine pattern of holding a candle and illuminating the darkness between her brows. She was the daughter of Zhulong.
In the blink of an eye, the two phantoms re-integrated into Shuli's bloodline. The Qilin bloodline within her body was entangled with dark black lines formed by the backlash power, while her Dao Fruit contained curse runes.
As we can see, although Shuli is a maid and servant of the Queen Mother of the West, the heavenly fortune above her head is rather dim. This is all because of the backlash and curse of the Qilin clan's fortune, which prevents her from attaining freedom.
"In the name of the young master of the Qilin clan, I will help you cleanse yourself of your karmic afflictions and restore your destiny!"
"Imperial Edict!"
Mo Yuan dripped a drop of his precious blood onto the Qilin Seal, and then the Primordial Qilin on the seal seemed to come to life, with the Qilin True Fire, formed from the Qilin's destiny, burning fiercely.
The next instant, a ray of seven-colored light landed on Shuli's head.
The bloodline within Shuli resonated violently, and the backlash force beneath her scales and within her body twisted and struggled like a living thing, while the curse runes trembled wildly.
Endless pain overwhelmed Shuli, but she did not utter a single word of pain.
Half an hour later, a bright aura of auspiciousness suddenly rose from Shuli's body. She had broken free from the backlash and curse and gained the recognition of the Qilin Clan's fortune.
Mo Yuan clearly perceived that the moment Shu Li became a member of the Qilin clan, the dragon bloodline within her was naturally suppressed by the Qilin bloodline, and her appearance transformed in the direction of the Qilin clan.
If Shuli were willing to shed the dragon bloodline within her, she could certainly reshape her body and become a true pure-blooded Qilin being, but doing so would be an injustice and desecration to her mother, the daughter of Zhulong.
What Shuli wanted was to gain the approval of the Dragon Clan or the Qilin Clan, so that her thoughts could be fulfilled, and not for any other purpose.
"receive!"
Mo Yuan reintegrated the Qilin Seal into his primordial spirit, a faint smile playing on his lips.
After obtaining the Qilin Seal deep within the Buzhou Mountain ley lines, he spent a great deal of energy refining three innate restrictions. Now, after helping Shuli cleanse herself of the backlash and curse, he feels he can refine two more innate restrictions.
Helping Shuli escape his suffering brought him a bit of good fortune.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan!"
Shuli and Jiutian Xuannv bowed simultaneously, their faces filled with gratitude.
Without the negative effects of the backlash and curse, and having finally resolved the knot in her heart that had been buried for countless years, Shuli was finally able to undergo the Golden Immortal Tribulation and attain the Golden Immortal realm.
Once it takes human form and is born, Shuli will be able to do more for the Queen Mother of the West, and then the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden will be able to relax more.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need for thanks!"
"Helping Fellow Daoist Shuli is nothing more than a small favor for me. It is also a good thing for me to be able to form a good relationship with the two fellow Daoists today."
"When I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go to Xikunlun to pay my respects to the Queen Mother of the West and thank her for taking me in all these years."
Mo Yuan did not boast of his achievements; he spoke kindly.
The Qilin clan had long since fallen into decline. If it weren't for the protection of the Queen Mother of the West, Shuli would probably have been corroded into bloody mud by the Blood Dragon Curse long ago, and tormented beyond recognition by the backlash and curses of the Qilin clan's fortune.
Even though Shuli was a maidservant of the Queen Mother of the West and had to take on the responsibility of being her mount, Mo Yuan saw this as the natural order of the world and her destiny.
Perhaps this is a bit of a double standard, but Mo Yuan really can't interfere too much with Shu Li.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan is in accordance with the will of Heaven and is respectful and courteous. No wonder he has won the favor of the Heavenly Dao and has also caught the eye of the Sage of the Chan Sect."
"This humble Taoist priest will convey your message to Your Majesty!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden stood up, made a Daoist bow, and spoke.
Having resolved Shuli's matter, she and Shuli should leave. After all, they had been by the Queen Mother of the West's side for many years and could not linger too long at Qilin Cliff, lest the Queen Mother of the West be left without anyone to serve her.
"Fellow Daoists, then we shall take our leave for now!"
After returning the greeting, Mo Yuan sent Jiutian Xuannv and Shuli out of the Qilin Cliff territory before returning to the top of Qilin Cliff to use his magic power to refine the two innate restrictions of the Qilin Seal.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mo Yuan has now refined a total of five innate restrictions. If he wants to refine them again, he will probably have to wait until he attains the Golden Immortal realm, or until he condenses pure ancestral energy in his eyes.
"The deep-seated hatred between the three clans is difficult to resolve. This is a grudge from past lives and also the general trend of the Heavenly Way. However, my Qilin clan will never again have such an absurd birth."
Mo Yuan looked up at the sky and said with a firm gaze.
For the next period of time, Mo Yuan devoted himself to mentally exploring the possibility of refining a third-stage golden pill. When he had some leisure time, he also planted some immortal herbs and spiritual flowers, which was quite leisurely and content.
During this time, he also saw a Golden Immortal Tribulation descending from the direction of Xikunlun. He realized that Shuli was undergoing the Golden Immortal Tribulation and that he had gained quite a lot of benefits from it.
"It's time to refine the Third-Stage Golden Elixir!"
After adjusting his own condition, Mo Yuan decided to begin refining the Three-Turn Golden Elixir.
