Celestial being

Hearing this, Yuan Ming quickly raised his hands and replied: "Thanks to my seniors, I have had a first glimpse of the mystery of the Five Elements Dao Fruit, but if I want to completely condense it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

"You have good talents and are willing to work hard. It is not difficult for you to condense the Five Elements Dao Fruit. As long as you persevere, you will definitely achieve something." Hearing this, Taoist Mu nodded and encouraged.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior." Yuan Ming replied respectfully.

Mu Taoist nodded slightly, suddenly changed the topic, and asked pointedly: "However, if you want to break through the Mahayana realm, it is not enough to condense the Five Elements Tao Fruit. Do you have any other plans and preparations?"

Yuan Ming's heart stirred and he was about to answer, but his expression suddenly changed and he suddenly raised his head and looked to the northwest.

I saw that the originally clear sky there suddenly became colorful, and the endless five-color spiritual clouds covered the sky, as if there was a majestic power surging.

Mu Taoist also noticed the abnormality, frowned, and with a wave of his hand, he brought Yuan Ming's wooden clone to the sky.

I saw countless long five-color dragons in the spiritual cloud disappearing and appearing, rolling and entangled, causing the entire spiritual cloud to surging as if boiling.

And above the spiritual cloud, meteors, flowing fire and blue water and black ice complement each other, and the power of the avenue in the void collides with each other, erupting in waves of terrifying visions.

This astonishing sight also attracted the attention of other people in Baidi City.

Everyone flew into the sky one after another, following Yuan Ming and Mu Daoren, looking at the scene on the horizon from a distance, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

"Senior Mu, what is going on with this vision?" Yuan Ming turned to look at Taoist Mu and asked.

Mu Taoren looked deeply at the horizon and replied calmly: "This is someone trying to break through the Mahayana realm."

"Who? Is it the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.

"Who else could be there besides her? It seems that the failure of Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom's plan put a lot of pressure on her, forcing her to give it a try." Mu Taoist nodded and said.

"Senior, aren't you going to stop her? Having an extra Mahayana monk in the demon race is not a good thing for the human race." Yuan Ming asked quickly.

Mu Taoren shook his head and said calmly: "She is still a little short of a breakthrough to the Mahayana. What's more, the Tianhong Formation has not been completely destroyed. A hasty breakthrough will most likely fail. We don't need to interfere too much, just let nature take its course."

After Yuan Ming heard this, he felt a little more at ease.

At this moment, a burst of flower fragrance suddenly hit, and Nangong Xian'er flew behind the two of them, cupped her hands towards them, and said: "Senior Mu, Fellow Daoist Yuan, you are also here."

Mu Taoist nodded and asked casually: "How is the repair of Hongjun Pillar?"

Nangong Xian'er respectfully replied: "The preliminary repair has been completed. It is expected that in just one month, I will be able to piece together most of the Hongjun Pillars. After that, it will only take a few more decades of running-in before they can be completely restored." ”

"Well done. Once the Hongjun Stone Pillars are assembled, they will be able to communicate with the underground spiritual veins and assume the important task of maintaining the operation of the Tianhong Formation. At that time, you can also transform back into human form and no longer need to be suppressed in the form of the World Tree. "Mu Taoist nodded with satisfaction and said.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he felt happy and immediately raised his hands in thanks.

Although it is not a burden for him to transform into a giant tree and suppress it here, it is naturally a better choice to be able to restore his body.

Naturally, he would not express this thought verbally, but kept it silently in his heart.

Seeing that the report had been completed, Nangong Xian'er did not stay any longer. On the pretext that he still needed to take charge of the repair work, he took the initiative to leave.

After Nangong Xian'er drifted away, Mu Taoren suddenly asked: "What do you think of Nangong Xian'er?"

"Fellow Taoist Nangong is gifted and extremely intelligent. He is well-controlled in his dealings with the world and has the right sense of proportion. His cultivation is also outstanding. He can be called a generation of talents. In comparison, Sima Changqin is indeed inferior." Yuan Ming's expression replied as usual.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Mu smiled slightly, and then stated his intention directly: "Then do you intend to become a Taoist couple with her and cultivate the Tao together?"

When Yuan Ming heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and waved his hands repeatedly: "Senior, please stop making fun of me."

Taoist Mu shook his head and said seriously: "I am not joking. It is a matter of mutual benefit for you to become a Taoist couple with her. Her true body is the ancient rare flower Wangyouhua, which has the miraculous effect of assisting in breaking through the Mahayana. Now that she has become an adult, she has even mastered the magical power of Forgetting the Immortal Sound. This magical power can only be used once in a lifetime. If you practice with her twice, you will be baptized by the magical power, and she will be more confident in breaking through the Mahayana in the future. I can use the power of your Ten Thousand Trees to break through again. In this way, both of you and your wife can achieve the state of Mahayana. Isn’t it a wonderful thing?”

Seeing his serious expression, Yuan Ming knew that he could no longer put things off, so he sighed and said, "Senior, you don't know something. I already have a Taoist companion, so it's better not to mention this matter again."

When Taoist Mu heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the mark of the Thieving Cauldron on his arm, and he said no more.

In the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming's main soul also secretly glanced at Xi Ying who was practicing with his eyes closed.

Seeing that she was still immersed in practice and had no reaction, he was relieved.

…

Half a month later, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.

In the sky, the originally colorful spiritual clouds suddenly surged violently, and a dull hum came from the clouds, shaking the whole world.

Immediately afterwards, the five-color spiritual cloud collapsed and disintegrated like a torn brocade, turning into little spiritual lights and dissipating in the sky.

This vision instantly alarmed everyone in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.

Countless demons looked up to the sky, their eyes full of surprise and disappointment.

They all knew that this meant that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons' breakthrough had failed.

Deep in the Demon King's Palace, a group of sixth-level demon kings have gathered here.

When they saw the strange phenomena in the sky dissipate, most of their expressions turned ugly.

After all, if the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons can successfully break through the Mahayana, it will be an extremely exciting event for the entire Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

Among this group of disappointed demon kings, the Dianpeng King and the Flame Wolf King secretly exchanged glances, with a trace of imperceptible joy flashing in their eyes.

They didn't seem surprised by the Queen's failure, but seemed relieved.

At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air on the throne of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

It is Wu Yu, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons.

Although her figure remained unchanged from the past, there was a hint of exhaustion and loss in her eyes.

She looked around the demon kings and said calmly: "I need to practice in seclusion for a while. Before I leave the seclusion, the demon kingdom is locked down, and all matters will be discussed together by you and others, and the final decision will be handed over to the Great Sun Glazed Flame. "

After saying that, she turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the hall without waiting for the reaction of the demons.

The demon kings were stunned for a moment, and then started talking among themselves.

They speculated on how much the Queen had been injured and whether she could truly recover.

After all, failure to break through the Mahayana is a heavy blow to any monk.

After Wu Yu returned to the inner hall, she finally couldn't hold on anymore. She swayed and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pop" sound. The bright red blood stained her clothes.

Her breath quickly dropped, and her complexion turned pale, as if she had lost all vitality.

Her demonic power also weakened and fell, finally stopping at the level of mid-sixth level.

At this moment, she was no longer the powerful queen of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom, but a seriously injured and weak demon cultivator.

At this moment, the figure of Da Ri Liuli Yan appeared beside her and gently helped her up.

Her eyes were full of concern and worry, and her voice was trembling: "Are you okay?"

Wu Yu laughed miserably, shook his head and said, "At least he won't die."

Da Ri Liuli Yan sighed and said, "You still shouldn't take risks. How is your injury? How long will it take to recover?"

"It's useless to say this now. My breakthrough failed, and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons will probably be in chaos soon. I just showed up with force, which should be able to help you buy some buffer time. You have to use this period of time Try to recruit as many people as possible to at least limit the chaos to a certain level." Wu Yu shook his head and said.

Da Ri Liu Liyan was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I know this, you don't have to worry so much. Concentrate on your cultivation first and have a good rest."

Wu Yu forced a smile on his pale face and nodded.

With the support of Da Ri Liu Li Yan, she slowly walked into the retreat room, silently practiced her kung fu, and began to recuperate.

…

Time flies, and it’s time to say goodbye in a blink of an eye.

Nangong Xian'er and his party are about to embark on their return journey. With the last fragment of the Hongjun Pillar being perfectly assembled, Yuan Ming is finally freed and recovers his body from the form of the World Tree.

At the Baidi City ruins, the giant trees that once towered over the sky and blocked out the sun were gone, replaced by flowers and spiritual herbs all over the mountains and plains.

They bloom among the ruins, blooming with splendid brilliance, bringing vitality to the ruins.

Outside the ruins, Huaxian and others have packed their bags and are ready to set off.

However, Nangong Xian'er seemed to still be waiting for someone to arrive, with some expectation in her eyes.

On the high mountain in the distance, Mu Taoist's clone stood quietly, with his hands behind his back, staring deeply at the ruins of Baidi City, as if thinking about something.

Beside him, Yuan Ming stood silently, not daring to slack off.

Suddenly, Mu Daoren spoke, his voice low and powerful: "I have already reached an agreement with Binglan and the others. In the coming days, you will temporarily serve as the Lord of Baidi City, and at the same time be in charge of the affairs of the 19 cities in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains. "

Yuan Ming was not surprised when he heard this, and still replied respectfully: "Yes, senior."

Mu Taoren nodded slightly and continued: "Being the city lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains has a heavy responsibility. Although there are not many requirements, there is an iron law that you must strictly abide by."

Yuan Ming cupped his hands and said, "Senior, please clarify."

Mu Taoist's eyes were as bright as fire and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what happens, you must always guard Hongjunzhu and not leave the city limits without authorization. This is your responsibility and your mission. If you want to step down, you must ensure that everything is handed over properly. You can’t leave until the next city lord takes office.”
