Celestial being

"Is this the Yinhun Flower?" Yuan Ming moved, flew into the abyss, carefully picked off the small flower, and then handed it to Xiying.

Xiying took the little flower, looked at it carefully, then nodded and said: "Yes, this is the Yinhun flower we are looking for, and it is old enough. Next, I will go into seclusion to refine the Nine Yin True Soul Pill, you wait. How many days do I have?”

"Do you need my help?" Yuan Ming asked.

"No, the refining of the Nine Yin True Soul Pill requires special techniques and cannot be passed on to others." Xiying shook her head.

Yuan Ming knew in his heart that this should also be a restriction set by Mingyue Palace, so he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately opened the Shura Palace and let Xiying go in and retreat on his own.

He himself thought for a while, and with the help of the Tiantian Cauldron, he contacted Fairy Yunluo who stayed in Baidi City.

"Yun Luo, how are you doing with your practice of One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Spirits?" he asked directly.

Fairy Yunluo was practicing at this time. When she heard Yuan Ming's voice, she quickly stopped her practice and responded: "Reporting to the Lord, the progress is going well. I have been able to refine the Yuqing clone."

There are three realms of One Qi Transformation into Three Purities, namely Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing. Each time you reach a realm of cultivation, you can create a clone.

"Oh? What about the progress of the others?" Yuan Ming was delighted when he heard this and asked again.

Before he left Baidi City, he appointed Fairy Yunluo as the general manager of Baidi City, responsible for overseeing everything.

After teaching the magical power of One Qi Transformation and Three Purities, he also asked everyone to report their cultivation progress to Fairy Yunluo regularly so that he could keep track of the situation.

"Reporting to the Lord, the progress of the other Taoist friends is not ideal. Currently, I am the only one who has the deepest understanding of this method." Fairy Yunluo replied, with a hint of asking for credit in her words.

Yuan Ming was not surprised. After all, it had not been long since he taught the technique. It was already rare for someone to be able to cultivate a Yuqing clone.

"It seems that you are quite compatible with this method, and your future achievements are limitless. For the next time, you can put other things aside and concentrate on practicing this method. I will find it of great use." Yuan Ming ordered.

"Yes." Fairy Yunluo nodded in agreement and continued to practice.

Yuan Ming ended his communication with Fairy Yunluo, and then he lightly twisted a stick of black incense and carefully inserted it into the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron.

The next moment, his consciousness merged into Fairy Yunluo's body like flowing water.

Time flowed slowly in silence until Yuan Ming pulled away from Fairy Yunluo's body. He opened his eyes and immediately looked inside his dantian.

I saw a blue rune mark floating quietly deep in the Dantian. Although the mysterious aura it exuded was slightly lacking and the color was slightly dim, it exuded a unique brilliance.

This is the Seal of Yuqing. It is the mark that Yuan Ming condensed after using the body of Fairy Yunluo to practice the magical power of turning one qi into three pure states to the realm of Yuqing.

Yuan Ming retracted his inner gaze with joy, made a hand seal again, activated the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and established contact with Qiu Nu, who was also staying in Baidi City.

He did not talk to Qiu Nu, but quietly used the method of transforming the three pure states with energy, projecting the jade clear seal in his dantian onto Qiu Nu's body through the air.

Then, he raised his hands and pointed them, lightly pressing them between his eyebrows, while whispering the incantation in his mouth.

The next moment, a ray of green light shot out from the back of his head, fell beside him, and gradually condensed into the appearance of Qiu Nu.

Feeling the Dharma aura emanating from Qiu's female clone, Yuan Ming couldn't help but smile.

With Qiu Nu's clone, Yuan Ming came to the place where the World Tree was located. With a thought in his mind, Qiu Nu's clone took the initiative to step forward and raised his hand to aim at the innate bitter bamboo growing under the tree.

In the palm of Qiu Nu's avatar, a blue spiritual light cut through the void like a shooting star and landed accurately on the bitter bamboo.

Under Yuan Ming's gaze, the innate bitter bamboo grew at an alarming rate, and the years also increased rapidly.

At the same time, Yuan Ming also clearly felt that his life span was passing at an alarming speed.

This is because all the lifespan costs consumed by his clones when they use magical powers must be borne by him.

Yuan Ming had already expected this.

He is already at the peak of Dharma cultivation, and with the World Tree as his natal spiritual plant, his lifespan is exceptionally long, with enough to last thirty to forty thousand years to withstand such consumption.

What surprised him was that when he used Aoki Mysterious Light with Dharma cultivation, the ratio of lifespan exchange also changed.

Under Yuan Ming's precise control, Qiu Nu's clone finally consumed his 10,000-year lifespan, successfully increasing the age of Kuzhu to an astonishing 180,000 years.

Then, Yuan Ming used the magic formula to disband Qiu Nu's clone, took out the Soul-Destroying Sword, and chopped off the upper half of the innate bitter bamboo with a single wave.

Soon after, Yuan Ming found Xi Hezi, handed the bitter bamboo into her hands, and said:

"Xihezi, I have found the hundred thousand-year-old bitter bamboo you want."

Xihezi's eyes lit up and he excitedly took the bitter bamboo and said, "Oh, that's really good. I never thought you could really get the 100,000-year-old innate bitter bamboo. Leave the rest to me. The pure hairpin refined this time, It will definitely surprise you!”

"Then I'll wait and see." Yuan Ming smiled.

Now that all the conditions have been gathered, he can only wait for the Dao-Entering Pill and Pure Hairpin to be refined before he can try to take that step.

Yuan Ming devoted himself to practicing again with a trace of expectation and anxiety.

…

Five days later.

Yuan Ming, who was practicing in seclusion, suddenly changed his expression, and his figure disappeared from the place like a phantom, and the next moment he appeared outside the seclusion room.

The door of the room opened slowly, and Xiying stepped out with a faint smile on her brows. The aura around her body surged, and she had obviously reached the late stage of Ming Wu.

Before Yuan Ming could ask, Xiying calmed down her excitement and said seriously: "My cultivation is sufficient and I can barely break through the limits of the curse. You need to remember the next words."

Seeing her solemn look, Yuan Ming immediately calmed down and said solemnly: "You say it, I'll listen."

Xiying took a deep breath, quickly formed seals with her hands, and touched her eyebrows lightly.

A gray light flashed in her eyes, and her voice was slightly difficult: "Go southeast, deep into the mountains, and look for Ziyun Tiangong!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a gray rune appeared between her eyebrows. The rune trembled slightly and made a deafening buzz.

Immediately afterwards, Xiying rolled his eyes and fell softly, falling into a coma.

"Xi Ying! What's wrong with you?" Yuan Ming hurriedly stepped forward, supported the fallen Xi Ying, and called repeatedly.

However, no matter how he called, Xiying showed no response. Only the gray rune between her eyebrows remained suspended, like an invisible seal, locking her consciousness firmly.

Yuan Ming's face darkened, and he tried to use his soul power to break the rune between Xi Ying's eyebrows, but no matter how hard he tried, the rune did not move at all, and Xi Ying remained unconscious.

He couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment towards Mingyue Palace, but this was not the time to pursue the matter.

So, he placed Xiying in Shura Palace and took Wang Fulong to fly towards the southeast of the mountain range.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Ming suddenly noticed that the purple light in the mountains became more intense.

He stretched out his consciousness and saw not far ahead, a group of dilapidated palaces standing among the mountains.

These palaces are all purple in color, but they are not made of mountain rocks. The bricks and tiles have a deep color, which is completely different from the crystal clear rocks in the mountains.

Looking around, palaces are scattered all over the mountains, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, criss-crossing and stacking up, making it dizzying.

You can imagine what a spectacular sight these palaces must have been when they were intact.

However, nowadays, most of the palaces are in dilapidated condition, and it is almost impossible to find any intact parts. The furniture in the palace is also in disarray and a mess.

Yuan Ming searched around the dilapidated palace, but found nothing of value and had to continue heading southeast.

He guessed in his mind that this might be the ruins of a sect in Wentian Realm.

Considering the scale of this palace complex and the strangeness of the mountains, Yuan Ming believed that this sect must have had at least one ghost witch ancestor sitting in charge.

And the Ziyun Tiangong mentioned by Xiying may also be inextricably linked with this ghost witch ancestor.

After flying for about half an hour, Yuan Ming suddenly saw a palace shrouded in purple clouds standing majestically on the top of a mountain in the distance.

When he flew closer, he found that there were countless murals painted on the outer walls of the palace, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not see clearly the contents of the murals.

If you stare at it for a long time, you may even feel an inexplicable dizziness.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the palace gate.

I saw four characters - Ziyun Tiangong - engraved on the plaque above the gate.

Yuan Ming led Wang Fulong to the door and tentatively stretched out his hand to push.

The next moment, a purple spiritual light suddenly erupted from the door, wrapping him and Wang Fulong in it.

Their eyes blurred, and when they woke up again, they were in a void space filled with purple clouds.

As soon as he entered this place, Yuan Ming felt that all contact with the outside world was cut off, as if he was in another world. This feeling is even stronger than the sense of obstruction caused by crossing the boundary barrier.

He looked around and saw that the surroundings were filled with ethereal purple clouds and smoke, with nowhere to settle.

Only far ahead, there is a wooden door suspended in the air, leading to nowhere.

Just as Yuan Ming was carefully observing his surroundings, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his hand to call out to the Shura Palace.

After a while, Xiying slowly walked out.

At this moment, the runes between her eyebrows were gone, her eyes were as clear as water, and her expression and behavior were the same as before.

"Are you awake?" Yuan Ming said in surprise.

"Well, thanks to you for finding Ziyun Tiangong, it seems that my judgment was correct." Xiying smiled and nodded, with a smile on his face.

"Can this place really isolate the restrictions set by Mingyue Palace?" Yuan Ming seemed to have some realization in his heart and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"That's right. Ziyun Tiangong is the natal spiritual treasure of a ghost witch. It forms a world of its own and has the effect of isolating the soul realm. The spiritual spell cast by Mingyue Palace does not directly affect me, but It's a remote restriction through some means. As long as I stay here, the spell can't touch me." Xiying nodded.

Yuan Ming frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "But if you leave this place, won't you fall into a coma again?"
