Chapter 606 Me? A true local!
Silence.
"That's interesting."
Wang Yu was amused. He simply couldn't believe that this person would dare to do such a transgression without a reasonable reason.
but.
There's no time to ask now.
"Fellow Daoist Qingqing is a woman of unparalleled beauty. Why resort to such underhanded tactics? Why not come out and meet me openly?"
Situ Qiutian was startled. Although his face showed some panic, his eyes did not reveal any panic or helplessness, indicating that he was prepared for this situation.
"Hehehe~ Fellow Daoist, this little fellow absorbed the Flame Calamity Ginseng of Crimson Blood Palace. Tell me... why would such a rare and precious herb grow here?"
A whirlpool of fire appeared on the flat ground, and then the flames dissipated.
A stunningly beautiful woman, over two meters tall with incredibly long legs, emerged from the crowd. She had white hair, red eyebrows, and blood-red eyeshadow that extended into a bewitching arc.
She has a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and her skin is as smooth as cream, exuding a faint, vibrant aura. You can even see the capillaries under her skin, trembling slightly.
Similar to the subtle changes brought about by blood circulation.
His aura was as hot as the sun, which caused the ambient temperature to rise significantly.
Wearing a bright red neon dress, her snow-white thighs were exposed, and the groin area was particularly alluring, giving rise to countless fantasies.
A beautiful woman's head, a butterfly-shaped hair bun, kingfisher feather ornaments, and a golden hairpin with swaying ornaments.
It was truly like a painted skin, alluring yet sinister, captivating and seductive.
In terms of beauty, she was no less stunning than Xingyue, but she belonged to a different type of woman. She was truly a rare beauty in the world, so Wang Yu praised her as a woman of unparalleled beauty.
only……
The thought that the other party was a living, wise drought demon who had attained enlightenment from a corpse completely extinguished any impulses he felt, leaving only the appreciation for seeing beautiful things.
On the other hand...
Wang Yu glanced at Situ Qiutian.
"The Flame Calamity Ginseng?"
The latter quickly bowed his head: "Senior, it is true. The Flame Calamity Ginseng can only grow by absorbing the blood of the Drought Demon. It takes a thousand years to take shape and is a fifth-order rare treasure."
“This junior… wants to establish the foundation of his cultivation technique and obtain the body of the drought demon in one fell swoop. Only this spiritual object can help me.”
Wang Yu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he was in trouble.
Fifth-tier spiritual items are never cheap, let alone rare treasures. Although he intended to use Situ's connections to join the circle of powerful figures in the Mountain and Sea Realm, he had no intention of compensating him.
Moreover, this person may have problems.
The Flame Calamity Ginseng requires the blood of the Drought Demon to grow normally, and the chance of it being born in the natural environment is extremely small. It can only grow on the corpses of Drought Demons.
Such a probability is so small that it's almost negligible.
It must be the kind of rare treasure that comes along only once in a million years.
However.
Such a precious treasure, yet this Lady Qingqing seems in no hurry at all. Allowing a mere Nascent Soul ant to steal such a valuable treasure should have been done without any precautions.
Unless she was being held hostage, or even if the Flame Calamity Ginseng that Situ absorbed wasn't the Flame Calamity Ginseng he thought it was, it was a trap within a trap? A series of schemes!
Wang Yu felt troubled because he knew that this time he was probably involved in a conflict between the local powerhouses and the outside powerhouses of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which was really difficult to handle.
Hehehe~
Before Wang Yu could come up with an explanation...
Upon hearing Situ's explanation, Hanba Qingqing giggled even more.
"You're really something. Even zombies who've gained sentience want to become human again, but you want to be a zombie, and even a drought demon wielding power. Truly interesting, very interesting indeed!"
Legend has it that when a drought demon is born, the land turns barren for thousands of miles, which perfectly matches the conditions of this place. There is also a saying that when a water demon is born, a vast expanse of marshland stretches for thousands of miles.
In reality, they are all realistic descriptions of the power of the two.
He noticed the phrase "holding power".
Could it be that faint aura of the Dao of Flames is the innate authority of this drought demon? After all, even among the ultimate evolutionary types of zombies, drought demons are special, carrying the connotation of natural disasters.
For a moment, he couldn't help but think of the Yin Emperor's position of the Yama Emperor's Sword. This position and the concept of natural disasters belong to the same category, but there is no Daoist authority to arise from it.
Therefore, the power that Wang Yu displayed was not much different from that of an ordinary fifth-grade high-quality spiritual treasure.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
While pondering.
Wang Yu stepped back, completely exposing Situ Qiutian, showing no intention of protecting him. Sometimes, there is more than one way to achieve one's goal.
Upon seeing this, Situ's face turned deathly pale.
His knees buckled.
He knelt down on the ground and banged his head against it repeatedly.
"Your Highness Qingqing, this matter is the idea of the Cloud Mist Mountain's Venerable Xia. She wants to provoke you with the life of a junior so that you will burn down Yunzhou."
"Although I had no choice, I am not entirely stupid. I suspect it is related to your quota for the ascension channel."
oh?
Wang Yu rubbed his chin, feeling that things were getting more and more interesting.
There are even more theories about this ascension passage.
It seems that the numerous minor worlds under the Cangmang Immortal Palace are more interconnected than he imagined, unlike the closed-off Ice Prison Realm.
Thinking about it, it makes sense.
The Celestial Palace rules over countless worlds, but only nine peak upper realms can accommodate the existence of immortals. The ultimate goal for countless ascendants is the Nine Realms, each with a True Immortal in charge.
The entire vast Immortal Realm is the territory of the human race. These minor worlds are closely connected under the guidance of the upper realm's legal lineage, which is very logical.
If there are quotas for the ascension path, the power struggle involved will not be limited to cultivators in the lower realms, according to previous statements.
This Lady Qingqing even ascended to heaven through a special route, which shows that she is highly favored by the upper realm's lineage.
As expected.
Upon hearing Situ's words, Qingqing's expression turned serious, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Burn Yunzhou? It was just a threat, do you really think I'm a mindless, vengeful corpse?!"
"This... I don't know."
Situ Qiutian prostrated himself on the ground, trembling all over. His fear seemed genuine, but Wang Yu did not sense any fear in him.
This perception was only recently awakened.
Wang Yu suspected that it was because he had consumed too much of the Heavenly Demon Essence that his Innate True Demon Body showed signs of developing a third innate supernatural power, giving him an extremely strong perception and innate affinity for all negative emotions.
He hasn't figured out exactly how to use it yet, but intuitively, this ability might help him create the most suitable cultivation method for himself.
"That vile woman, Xia Zun, can't even get an ascension spot herself, yet she dares to plot against me. Truly, ignorance is bliss."
Qingqing muttered a speechless complaint and flicked her finger.
From her slender, jade-like fingers, a power filled with scorching heat and the aura of natural disaster shot out, directly knocking Situ Qiutian unconscious. His nascent soul was also blinded by the power of disaster, truly falling into despair and fear.
She then turned to Wang Yu, who was acting as if a grand opera was about to begin, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you're not from around here, are you? What's your name?"
“Fellow Daoist Qingqing, what makes you say that? I am a native of the Mountain and Sea Realm, my home is in... Huaguo Mountain, Yunzhou.”
Seeing Wang Yu's confident and determined expression.
Qingqing looked suspicious.
"Really? But what exactly is this Flower and Fruit Mountain?"
"It's just an unnamed mountain valley. It's probably been occupied by other cultivators long ago. But what connection do you, Fellow Daoist Qingqing, have with this Venerable Xia? If you're willing, I, Wang, can act as an intermediary to resolve things between you."
Wang Yu could lie without batting an eye.
In the Lesser Thousand Worlds, those who reach the Nascent Soul stage generally know each other or have had interactions with each other, since they cannot do without this circle if they want cultivation resources.
To avoid trouble, he did not conceal his cultivation level. His aura as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was like an abyss to others, so it was normal for others to give him face.
They have the confidence to say that!
Therefore, upon hearing his explanation, Qingqing completely abandoned her doubts about him and sighed.
“Since Brother Wang knows Xia Zun, he knows what kind of temper this vile woman has. A thousand years ago, when I saw that there were no Nascent Soul cultivators in Yunzhou, I enclosed a thousand miles of land and turned it into a barren wasteland, while cultivating and waiting for the queue at Xiaoji Palace.”
"As a result, this woman thought that I was arrogant because Yunzhou had no one to rely on. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage five hundred years ago, she started to oppose me at every turn and tried every means to ruin my ascension."
As she spoke, Qingqing became even more indignant.
"She originally couldn't influence the Little Extreme Palace's ascension arrangements, let alone cancel my spot, but this shameless hussy went so far as to form a romantic relationship with the Little Extreme Palace's Heartless Ancestor."
"Li Chunyi cultivates the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness, and his lineage belongs to the Immortal Palace's Dao of Forgetfulness."
"With a single, ruthless sword technique, he is unparalleled in his offensive prowess, and with that, a bond of love is formed."
"In the future, she will inevitably become the one who proves her love and achieves enlightenment, and die without a burial place. This vicious woman actually sacrificed herself for a moment of pride, which is something I just can't understand."
Wang Yu listened to the whole story but remained noncommittal.
That Venerable Xia could achieve the Nascent Soul stage, so he couldn't possibly be a fool. Since it was a tribulation of love and enlightenment, he would definitely have to wait until he broke through to the Dao Integration stage and condensed the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit before he could use it.
The more loving you are now, the better the future will be.
Wang Yu did not comment on the decision to exchange the future for the present, but all the laws in the world have their own mysteries. Li Chunyi, who was known as the Heartless Ancestor, wanted a high-quality Daoist partner to undergo a love tribulation.
And how can we guarantee that there are no Taoist practices that go beyond the bounds of emotion?
The disagreements and scheming involved cannot be explained in just a few words.
Another one.
Qingqing chose Yunzhou because she was taking advantage of the fact that there was no Nascent Soul cultivator to protect her. That's why she was so reckless in creating a favorable cultivation environment for herself by leaving the land barren for thousands of miles.
The eldest sister doesn't talk about the second sister; they're in the same boat.
He pondered for a moment.
Wang Yu replied, "Fellow Daoist Qingqing is a rare drought demon who has attained enlightenment. Your cultivation has reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. The Immortal Palace lineage behind you can see that you were blocked by Venerable Xia and were unable to ascend?"
Qingqing smiled bitterly and said, "She can't do it, and the Ruthless Ancestor Li Chunyi can't cancel my spot either, but he can postpone it."
“A thousand years ago, I descended upon the Mountain and Sea Realm when I was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. A thousand years later, I am still in the Mountain and Sea Realm when I am in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Do you understand the secrets behind this, Brother Wang? This grudge can no longer be resolved by you acting as a middleman.”
Wang Yu raised his eyes and keenly caught the key elements.
The Mountain and Sea Realm allows ascension even at the early Nascent Soul stage... Damn it, they really don't treat Ice Prison cultivators like human beings. So, he's met the requirements for ascension too.
He immediately changed his tone.
"Who are the people standing in front of Fellow Daoist Qingqing?"
The latter counted on his fingers.
"Zhao Mo, the Xuanhuang Daozi, is a proud disciple of the Kunlun lineage. Even before ascending, he was already regarded as a Daozi-level being. It is said that he possesses an innate Dao body and is said to have an 80% chance of entering the Mahayana stage. His aptitude is comparable to that of a True Spirit Bloodline."
"Azure Sea Abyss Dragon · Lan Feng, the posthumous son of a powerful demon dragon lineage expert, is slightly inferior to Zhao Mo in aptitude. However, his mother was once a true dragon Daoist partner who unexpectedly perished in the Azure Sea Realm. The specific reason is unknown."
"Eight-Armed Vajra, Bai Chengfeng, whose Dharma name is 'Tianlong,' is the reincarnation of a Buddhist disciple from Mount Ling. This person greatly admires sword immortals and gave himself the secular name Bai Chengfeng. However, he has an extremely strong talent in the Buddhist path of body refinement. He ascended to the Lion Camel Realm not through the channels of mountains and seas..."
"There are still eight people in line, and the ascension passage only opens once every hundred years, and can only send one person at a time. If I didn't have the body of a drought demon and a lifespan comparable to a true spirit of the same realm, I would have been waiting for a long time."
Qingqing's words revealed a great deal of information.
The Kunlun lineage is one of the top forces in the True Spirit Realm, while the Demon Dragon lineage uses human bodies to cultivate demonic arts, carrying some demonic blood, and is not a pure human.
However, the "Demon Immortal" among the Nine Immortals of the Human Race attained enlightenment as a half-demon, and his Daoist temple is called "Eastern Emperor Heaven," which rules over the "Heavenly Demon Realm," one of the Nine Realms!
It is on the same level as the [True Spirit Realm] and the [Lion Camel Realm].
In the vast Immortal Realm, the relationship between the demon race and the human race is rather delicate. Out of respect for the demon immortals, they are close allies, but in reality, they are more like a subordinate race.
In the boundless universe, there is not only one immortal realm.
Other immortal realms also have demons and humans, but the specifics are not described in detail even in the memories of the Ice Phoenix bloodline. It is only known that the Wutong Realm, where the Phoenix Clan lives, belongs to the [Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm]!
It is inhabited by a large number of auspicious and divine beasts.
The number of True Immortals on the surface is slightly more than that of Cangmang. Logically speaking, the True Spirit Bloodline is enough to give birth to a large number of Mahayana Divine Beasts, and there should be quite a few who become Immortals.
However, bloodline can be both a blessing and a curse. The bloodline shackles of a true spirit are much stronger than those of an ordinary lesser demon, having risen to the level of shackles of the laws.
To this day, only twelve of these fairy realms remain in the world.
Even today.
Wang Yu's perspective has broadened considerably, especially with the inherited memories within the Ice Phoenix bloodline, which have greatly aided him. Therefore, he was able to glean more information from the details revealed by Qing Qing.
He already had a general idea of the situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm. It was like a hub for ascension, where geniuses from more than a dozen nearby minor worlds gathered to ascend.
There could be many reasons, and it's difficult to determine at this time.
The ascension channel only occurs once every hundred years, and only one person is ascended each time. He suspects that the reason behind this is related to the consumption of resources.
Yes, it's about consumption.
Don't be fooled by the incredible power of the Wutong Immortal Tree back then, which could easily free many people from the Demon Prison with a single swipe of its leaves. That was because a true immortal used the power of the immortal tree to make the move.
For a normal ascension, would it really require the trouble of immortals?
The distances between worlds are unknown, the cosmic sea contains countless perilous and dangerous places, and there are also Void Beast tribes, making it extremely dangerous. Not to mention the threat posed by other races...
The safety of the ascension passage is therefore of utmost importance.
It should be understood that this is not a rule of heaven and earth, but a means of guidance set up by the human race. It is a way for immortals to forcibly integrate into the many worlds of the vast immortal realm with great supernatural powers.
Wang Yu also connected this to his Returning Moon Channel, which made him think it was related to the consumption. He couldn't ask Qing Qing about this directly, as he still needed to work harder to solidify his identity as a local.
After a moment of silence, Wang Yu spoke.
"Perhaps we could try to cut in line?"
"How so?"
