Celestial being

"Reincarnation Demon Lord!" Kong's pupils narrowed, obviously he was quite afraid of this name.

"It's just a clone. Even if it has the true meaning of reincarnation, its power is limited. As long as we deal with it properly, it shouldn't cause too much trouble." Mu Taoist said calmly.

"Of course I don't care, this is what you should have a headache for." Kong curled his lips and said.

"This matter really gives me a headache. Now I need to summon people to help immediately, but this will take a certain amount of time. The most important thing now is to activate the Tianhong Formation and protect the other eighteen cities in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range. Yuan Xiaoyou, this is I can only leave the matter to you. You only need to support me until my people arrive. During this period, I will prohibit anyone from approaching Baidi City and will not expose your secrets. After the matter is resolved, I will give you a satisfactory reward. ." Taoist Mu nodded and said seriously.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming was moved in his heart, but then he shook his head and refused: "Thank you, Senior Mu, for your kindness. It's just that my junior's strength is low, so I'm afraid I might miss something important."

"Young friend Yuan, are you worried about being coveted by others after the Tiantian Cauldron is exposed? In fact, there is no need for it. Now that this matter has been known to me, you can't hide it. In this Izumo world, the old Taoist me is eyeing People have never been able to escape." Mu Taoren didn't seem surprised by his rejection and said with a smile.

Yuan Ming was shocked. He didn't expect that Taoist Mu would know the existence of the Tiantian Cauldron!

He secretly thought that perhaps it was due to the magical power of Wanmu Lingxi mentioned by Senior Kong that he was eyeing him as soon as he set foot on Zhongzhou Continent.

"Don't worry, since I promised to take good care of you, I will never break my promise. As long as you agree to this, I will not only ensure your safety, but also give you sufficient remuneration and status." Mu Taoist continued.

Yuan Ming frowned, hesitant in his heart.

He knew that the value of the Tiantian Cauldron was extraordinary, and once it was exposed, it would definitely arouse the covetousness of countless people, but the situation in front of him forced him to consider the possibility of cooperating with Mu Taoist.

Just as he was hesitating, Sora's message rang in his sea of ​​consciousness: "He didn't lie to you. Mu Taoist's tracking methods are famous among the Mahayana monks in the Izumo world. The person he wants to track must not leave Izumo. boundary, otherwise there would be absolutely no possibility of escape."

"Senior Kong, you want me to agree to this, right?" Yuan Ming asked via voice message.

"That's right. This Mu Taoist has a gentle temperament, is powerful, and lives a solitary life. He doesn't argue with the world. If you cooperate with him, you will still be safe. Besides, isn't there me?" Kong said in a deep voice.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he thought silently in his heart.

The existence of the Tiantian Cauldron has been known to Su Wu, and sooner or later it will spread throughout the world. Maybe it is not a bad thing to be connected with Mu Taoist at this time.

"Looking at Yuan Xiaoyou's cultivation, he is already extraordinary, but it is a pity that he has not yet found a place to settle down. The Tianhong Formation is the cornerstone of the stability of the Izumo Realm, and there is no room for failure. If I can sit here, there will be no need to guard the formation. Yu, Old Taoist, I recognize that you possess the mysterious Heaven-Stealing Cauldron. Moreover, Old Taoist solemnly promises that from now on, the entire Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range can be controlled by you and let you run wild." Taoist Mu seemed to have understood what Yuan Ming was thinking, so Continue speaking slowly.

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel shocked.

Although he has not been in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains for a long time, he also understands the vastness and endless potential of this place.

If you can take it into your palm, it will be more convenient whether it is practicing Dharma body or collecting aspiration power. The benefits are self-evident.

However, Yuan Ming is also well aware of the responsibilities and risks behind this promise.

From the conversation between Sora and Kido Ren, combined with the various information previously discovered, we can know that the next war between the Izumo Realm and the Demon Realm is not far away. If I really accept this important task, I am afraid that I will face more Unpredictable challenges and dangers.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Mu Taoren was not in a hurry to urge him. He just stood quietly and waited for his answer.

The breeze blew by, blowing Yuan Ming's hair and clothes, and also stirring the waves in his heart.

In this ancient and mysterious mountain range, he seemed to be able to feel a powerful force surging, as if calling him to meet the challenges and opportunities of the future.

After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Ming slowly raised his head, his eyes reflecting Taoist Mu's leisurely and content figure.

He took a deep breath and spoke calmly: "Since Senior Mu is so kind, if I continue to shirk it, I am afraid that I will be a little ignorant."

A gratified smile appeared on Mu Daoren's face: "Okay, okay. Speaking of which, the former owner of the Tianding was also acquainted with me."

After hearing this, Yuan Ming felt a hint of surprise in his heart: "Do you know Senior Xia Jie?"

Immediately, he felt a shiver in his heart, thinking that Mu Taoren had a good relationship with Kong, and it was reasonable to know Senior Xia Jie.

Taoist Mu gently twirled his beard and slowly recounted a past event: "Not only did we know each other, he was even half of my disciples. I think back then, when Xia Jie found the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron from the Wentian Secret Realm, there was a It was me who helped him break the extremely difficult seal."

After listening to Mu Taoren's narration, most of Yuan Ming's doubts dissipated, and he then asked: "How should this junior replace Hong Junzhu?"

"You only need to transform into the World Tree and pierce your roots deeply into your spiritual veins. We will arrange the rest for you." Mu Taoist explained with a slight smile.

Yuan Ming nodded in agreement and with a thought in his mind, the World Tree in his dantian merged with his body. After a while, he transformed into a towering giant tree, and its roots quickly spread in all directions.

The thick tree roots tightly wrapped the broken Hongjun stone pillar. The roots penetrated deeply into the ground and were closely connected with the spiritual veins.

Mu Dao muttered words, formed seals with his hands, and shot out two bright white lights, which were injected into the Hongjun Pillar and the World Tree transformed by Yuan Ming.

In an instant, Yuan Ming felt as if there was a connection between himself and the Hongjun Stone Pillar. The moment the roots of the World Tree connected with the underground spiritual veins, the rich spiritual power of the earth veins surged out like a tide, pouring into the broken Hongjun. In the stone pillars, the broken runes were lit up one by one.

At this moment, Yuan Ming felt as if he was integrated with the entire Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, and an indescribable and wonderful feeling surged into his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud "buzz" in his mind, and there seemed to be countless voices ringing in his ears at the same time. Excitement, shouting, roaring, praying, crying... various sounds were intertwined, constantly impacting his soul. .

These sounds were not unfamiliar to him, they were exactly the emotions contained in the wish. In the past, these wishes were borne by the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, but now they came straight to his body, and the number was far greater than before.

With the strength of Yuan Ming's soul now, under the impact of this majestic will power like the sea, he can't help but feel his soul trembling, his magic power surging, and it is almost impossible to maintain the transformed state.

But the World Tree is as stable as Mount Tai, not affected by the power of will at all.

The demonic energy inside the transformed World Tree has completely turned blue-grey. It has lost the healing effect of the immortal tree and the properties of the demonic energy can no longer be recognized.

The biggest characteristic of this blue-gray demonic power is that it is extremely stable, and no matter what kind of spiritual power is injected into it, it will have no effect.

Because of this, it can remain unmoved under the impact of will power.

Seeing that Yuan Ming could not withstand the impact of his wish, Kong immediately summoned the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron and controlled it to fly out and sink into the roots of the World Tree.

"I'll leave the outside matters to you." Taoist Kong told Mu Taoist, and then began to activate the restricted operation in the Tiantian Cauldron to guide the wish power in the earth veins.

Inside the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, the light of the white jade lotus platform suddenly bloomed, dazzling and dazzling. The formation patterns traveled around the cauldron like flowing water, and the entire altar also shone brightly, as if it were daytime.

The roots of the World Tree are now shrouded in a white light. This light is like a trickle, quietly flowing into the ground and connected to the spiritual veins.

In an instant, the colorful streams of light in the spiritual veins began to swim slowly. They were like gorgeous silk and satin, wrapping around the huge body of the World Tree.

These streams of light are exactly the wish power contained in the spiritual veins. At this moment, under the pull of the Tiantian Stealing Cauldron, most of them are sucked away and gathered in the cauldron.

As his willpower decreased, the impact Yuan Ming endured also weakened a lot.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

At the same time, Taoist Mu slowly came to the foot of the World Tree and sat cross-legged, his body as motionless as a pine tree.

Under his body, a cyan pattern appeared quietly. Along with a wave of imperceptible fluctuations, this pattern began to emit majestic power. Although it could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, it could be felt that it was spreading outwards.

Under the influence of this force, the broken Hongjun Stone Pillar seemed to have some wonderful connection with the World Tree.

Illusive light suddenly lit up from the stone pillars, and they converged into a pillar of light rising into the sky, penetrating the ground and reaching into the sky.

At this moment, this dazzling light pillar stood on the entire ruins of Baidi City, and it seemed to have become a new symbol of the ruins.

As the light pillar rose, the Tianhong Formation began to move again, and the flow rate of spiritual power in the underground spiritual veins instantly accelerated dozens of times.

The originally peaceful underground seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool at this moment, with spiritual power surging crazily in it, constantly nourishing the World Tree and Hongjun Stone Pillar.

At the same time, the situation in Yinshan City, thousands of miles away, was already in danger.

On the city wall, there are several shockingly damaged holes, which are the traces left by the monster beasts' crazy charge.

On the ruined walls, human and demon corpses lay intertwined, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Compared to the entire city of Baidi City that was destroyed and buried under ruins, the fighting in Yinshan City was even more brutal and bloody.

Most of the demon clan has already invaded the city, killing them wantonly and without any scruples.

Outside the city, there are still a large number of demon clans that are attacking the city. They want to take revenge for the long-term oppression and massacre.

The monks in Yinshan City suffered heavy casualties, and the rest retreated to the deepest part of the city, relying on the remaining restrictions to resist the attack of the monsters.

These restrictions are already in danger under the continuous onslaught of a large number of monsters, and may collapse at any time.
