Chapter 203: The Ambitious Tianqing Alliance Leader (Happy New Year)
Outside the world.
The leader of the Tianqing Alliance held a stone-like long sword, and invisible power radiated from the sword, blocking numerous attacks coming from all directions.
"Ant, you forced me into this."
In the distance, the Ancestral Demonic Tree roared in anger. Upon closer inspection, one could see a faint sword scar on the trunk of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
Apparently, in the recent confrontation with the leader of the Tianqing Alliance, the Ancestral Demonic Tree not only didn't gain any advantage but also suffered some losses.
"What can you do by forcing me?"
The leader of the Tianqing Alliance remained calm. The Ancestral Demonic Tree itself stood in opposition to the Tianqing World, and the two were irreconcilable.
"Since that's the case."
Countless black vines swayed from the Ancestral Demonic Tree. Vaguely, the space for millions and millions of miles around began to change.
"What is this?"
The leader of the Tianqing Alliance's expression changed slightly. The surging demonic power had become substantial.
"World Sword!"
The leader of the Tianqing Alliance gripped the long sword in his hand. With his strength, being able to contend with an extraterrestrial evil god for so long relied on the World Sword nurtured by the Tianqing World for countless years.
Although the World Sword was called a 'sword,' its defensive capabilities were also extremely terrifying. At least, since the invasion of the Ancestral Demonic Tree, the leader of the Tianqing Alliance hadn't suffered any severe injuries under the protection of the World Sword.
Of course.
The power of the World Sword was related to the proximity to the Tianqing World. The closer it was, the greater the power of the World Sword.
Conversely, the farther away, the smaller the power.
"This is my world."
The demonic power, filling the space for millions and millions of miles, quickly diminished. The space twisted, instantly moving the leader of the Tianqing Alliance to a close distance.
Then, the demonic power continued to interweave and collide, forming a world-like illusion.
"What is this?"
The leader of the Tianqing Alliance looked serious. Such a method had never been used by the Ancestral Demonic Tree before.
It could be foreseen that it was some kind of trump card of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
Boom, boom, boom.
The immense power of the demonic world began to crush down. The leader of the Tianqing Alliance, unchanging, wielded the World Sword, activating the power within to guard himself.
Far away.
The twelve vice-leaders of the Tianqing Alliance watched the battle between the Tianqing Alliance leader and the Ancestral Demonic Tree from a distance.
"Is the leader overconfident, letting us not intervene and allowing him to deal with the extraterrestrial evil god on his own?"
One vice-leader couldn't help but frown.
Indeed, the leader of the Tianqing Alliance was the strongest, wielding the World Sword, capable of exterminating evil and resisting all methods.
But that was an extraterrestrial evil god, a terrifying giant who almost broke into the Tianqing World single-handedly.
Faced with such an existence, no amount of caution was excessive. Actively giving up advantages and engaging in a one-on-one battle with the opponent, was it a bit foolish?
Although all twelve vice-leaders combined couldn't cause any harm to the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
At least, they could restrain the opponent and play a significant role when necessary.
"The leader naturally has his considerations."
"If I'm not mistaken, the leader is testing that extraterrestrial evil god, right?"
Another vice-leader said thoughtfully.
If the leader of the Tianqing Alliance joined forces with their twelve vice-leaders, the extraterrestrial evil god would probably not engage in a battle and certainly not go all out.
But now, with only the leader alone, the extraterrestrial evil god might have the intention to severely injure or even kill the leader, unleashing its full power.
In the midst of a full-scale battle, it would be easier to see through the opponent's true capabilities.
"Not good."
"What method did that evil god use to bring the leader in?"
At this moment, the twelve vice-leaders saw the Ancestral Demonic Tree surrounded by dark demonic power, and then the leader of the Tianqing Alliance was enveloped.
"The leader has the World Sword protecting him, so there should be no problem."
"Hey, the leader is completely taking risks. If something goes wrong, our Tianqing World will have no resistance against that evil god."
The twelve vice-leaders expressed their concerns.
Deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.
Lin Yuan was currently immersed in profound enlightenment.
The seven Beast Kings were guarding various directions of the Black Mist Mountains to ensure that Lin Yuan wasn't disturbed by any factors.
[Your extraordinary comprehension reverses the heavens, comprehending the 'Root of the Void,' perfecting the seventh-tier chapter of the Martial Evolution System.]
[Your extraordinary comprehension reverses the heavens, comprehending the 'Root of the Void,' perfecting the seventh-tier chapter of the Martial Evolution System.]
[Your extraordinary comprehension reverses the heavens, comprehending the 'Root of the Void,' perfecting the seventh-tier chapter of the Martial Evolution System.]
A large number of inspirations about the seventh-tier chapter of the Martial Evolution System were absorbed and utilized by Lin Yuan.
The many gifted abilities that the Ancestral Demonic Tree had released were also integrated into the Martial Evolution System by Lin Yuan.
For example, the 'Root of the Void,' a method that allowed survival in the void for an extended period, could greatly enhance the survival ability of a Martial Evolutionist in the later stages.
Other evolutionists, if they accidentally entered the void, away from the world and lacking an energy source, even if they didn't die from spatial turbulence, they would 'starve to death.'
However, a seventh-tier Martial Evolutionist, once they reached the marquis level, possessed a similar ability to the 'Root of the Void,' making it possible to survive in the void.
"The Martial Evolution System is unique, capable of accommodating myriad principles, like the body refinement lineage's fleshly divine abilities in the Immortal Dao World or the various gifted abilities of this Ancestral Demonic Tree."
"As long as it's suitable, everything can be incorporated into the Martial Dao."
Lin Yuan's thoughts surged, silently contemplating.
As long as the fundamental foundation of the Martial Evolution path remained unchanged, no matter how many changes occurred, it was still the path of Martial Evolution. It could still provide Lin Yuan's 'ultimate leap' with abundant resources.
"The Root of the Void has been completely absorbed."
Lin Yuan stopped his contemplation, feeling quite pleased.
"And then there's the Evil God's Gaze, a soul attack method. Given the evil and chaotic origin of the extraterrestrial realm, it's quite powerful, but in the main world's civilization, there are countless more potent soul attack methods than the Evil God's Gaze."
"The Demonic World."
Lin Yuan's expression became slightly serious as he began to comprehend the last resort of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
This ability consumed the Demonic Tree's origin, condensing vast demonic power into an illusory demonic world in a short time.
This illusory demonic world was similar to the inner world of an eighth-tier powerhouse.
Due to the inherent nature of the Ancestral Demonic Tree, it couldn't open up an inner world. Pure demonic power was too extreme. However, relying on its innate talents, it could achieve something similar.
"This kind of talent involves mysterious spatial aspects."
Various core spatial models floated in Lin Yuan's mind. The so-called spatial talents all revolved around spatial models.
The ability of the Demonic World to condense an illusory demonic world definitely contained spatial rules.
"Take it slow."
"The Demonic World is the Ancestral Demonic Tree's trump talent. Even that extraterrestrial evil god only knows how to use it, not its essence."
"Even with my extraordinary comprehension, understanding this talent will still require a lot of time."
Lin Yuan pondered for a while and found that his progress was somewhat slow, but he didn't feel disappointed.
How much time had passed?
"I wonder what evaluation I can get for the Seventh Stage of the Martial Dao Evolution System from the Wisdom Goddess."
Lin Yuan felt a bit hopeful.
Now that Lin Yuan's perfection of the Seventh Stage had reached the Marquis level, there were still five hundred years left in the resident world before returning to the main world. There shouldn't be any problem opening up the Seventh Stage completely.
The Seventh Stage of the Martial Dao Evolution System contained a lot of Lin Yuan's efforts, primarily in opening up the internal world. Although Lin Yuan wouldn't explicitly state the possibility of opening up the internal world at this stage in the Seventh Stage of the Martial Dao Evolution System, with the immense computational power of the Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses, they should be able to deduce it.
Certainly, there were many limitations to opening up the internal world at the Seventh Stage, as Lin Yuan did. However, no matter how many restrictions there were, they couldn't hide the preciousness of this possibility.
If an evolver could open up the internal world at the Seventh Stage, it would be a revolutionary aid to oneself.
Not to mention combat strength, even if the internal world opened up was only a few miles in size, it could almost sweep other Seventh Stage evolvers.
Observing the natural operation of the internal world would also be of great help to evolvers.
In addition to the internal world, Lin Yuan had now integrated many abilities of the evil gods into the Seventh Stage. This allowed Seventh Stage Martial Dao evolvers to have countermeasures against various difficulties.
In the inner to outer regions of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
The King of Divine Apes, the King of Giant Elephants, and the King of Green Birds were patrolling nearby.
"The master is too kind."
"He actually asked us not to attack those ant-like humans."
The King of Divine Apes, the King of Giant Elephants, and the King of Green Birds, naturally, had been parasitized by the demonic seed and were absolutely loyal to Lin Yuan. They wouldn't have any improper thoughts.
"Indeed, with the master's strength, not to mention unifying the Tianqing World, it would be easy to occupy more than half of the Tianqing World. Yet now, he stays in the Black Mist Mountain Range."
The King of Divine Apes sighed.
The King of Giant Elephants and the King of Green Birds nodded in agreement.
As parasitized creatures of the demonic seed, although they behaved exactly like the original Monster Kings, they had an instinct for aggression and slaughter. This instinct came from the Ancestral Demonic Tree, and extraterrestrial evil gods enjoyed slaughter and invasion the most.
"Enough."
"Don't say such things in the future."
"If the master hears it, there will be punishment."
The King of Giant Elephants thought for a moment and reminded them.
Although they were currently at a distance from Lin Yuan, in the eyes of the several Monster Kings, the master was invincible. As long as the master wanted to know, nothing in the entire Black Mist Mountain Range could escape his notice.
"Eighth Stage."
While cultivating and enlightening, Lin Yuan was also contemplating the path to the Eighth Stage.
For someone like Lin Yuan, who had opened up the internal world very early, the biggest obstacle to advancing to the Eighth Stage was the Heart Demon Tribulation.
The Heart Demon Tribulation was unrelated to the physical body or the soul but targeted the mind and willpower.
So—
During the resistance of the Heart Demon Tribulation, external forces were basically useless. To smoothly overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation, one could only rely on oneself and the indomitable willpower.
However.
Willpower was also a very abstract concept.
The strength of willpower had no necessary connection with strength.
Of course, the stronger the evolver, the stronger their willpower would be.
But in the main world's human civilization, there were also indigenous people on certain wild planets with astonishingly strong willpower.
"According to the teacher, the so-called Heart Demon is a condensation of infinite resentment and other negative energies in the world."
"It is related to the fundamental rules of the world and only appears when an evolver reaches a certain level."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, recalling the bits and pieces about 'Heart Demon' mentioned by the Star Master of the Scarlet Kun Star.
Normally, the Heart Demon is an illusionary entity even more elusive than the soul, so even soul-defensive treasures cannot resist the effects of the Heart Demon.
Once a Seventh Stage peak evolver attempts to break through to the Eighth Stage, the Heart Demon Tribulation arrives, and there is no turning back. Because the Heart Demon is unstoppable, you cannot escape it. As long as you are within the world, there is no hiding.
"But I have the Door of Myriad Realms. Whether I can attempt to break through the Eighth Stage and face the Heart Demon Tribulation while traveling through worlds first."
"If I sense something wrong and find that I can't resist the Heart Demon Tribulation, then I'll escape and return to the main world."
"After all, can't Heart Demons also have the ability to traverse myriad realms? Can they follow me back to the main world?"
Lin Yuan pondered a clever approach, utilizing his own advantages to attempt to face the Heart Demon Tribulation in different worlds.
Outside the world, the boundless demonic energy formed by the Ancestral Demonic Tree suddenly tore open a crack, and a figure rushed out of the crack while emitting bursts of maniacal laughter.
"Hahaha, extraterrestrial evil god, with the protection of the World Sword, you can't kill me."
The Lord of the Tianqing Alliance controlled the World Sword and distanced himself from the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
"Damn it."
The Ancestral Demonic Tree could only watch helplessly as the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance moved away.
Originally, it suffered from source depletion, and now, it had used the extremely source-consuming 'Demonic World.' Plus, it had been struck countless times by the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance within the world. The current Ancestral Demonic Tree was extremely weakened and had no strength to chase and kill the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance.
Or to say, even if the Ancestral Demonic Tree had the ability to chase and kill, it wouldn't do so because it simply couldn't kill the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance.
Exhaling, the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance transformed into a stream of light and returned to the side of the twelve deputy alliance leaders.
At the same time, the Ancestral Demonic Tree slowly retreated and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Alliance Master."
"Alliance Master, are you okay?"
"That evil god didn't hurt you, did he?"
The twelve deputy alliance leaders immediately inquired with concern.
At this moment, the Lord of the Tianqing Alliance's aura was somewhat weakened, but his eyes were brighter than ever before.
This time, he took a risk, fought alone against the Ancestral Demonic Tree, and finally understood the Ancestral Demonic Tree's details during their intense battle.
"Weak."
"That extraterrestrial evil god is currently in a weakened state."
The Lord of the Tianqing Alliance's heart raced. The weakness he felt wasn't the result of some hidden card played by the Ancestral Demonic Tree; rather, it had been weak from before.
"The opportunity for my Tianqing World is coming."
The Lord of the Tianqing Alliance looked towards the twelve deputy alliance leaders, his spirit excited and full of confidence.

Chapter 204: Lead My Edict, Command the Ten Great Mountain Beast Kings (Happy New Year)
Several decades ago.
The leader of the Cyan Alliance had faintly sensed the 'weakness' of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
However, at that time, he didn't dare to confirm, and it was impossible to determine whether the so-called 'weakness' displayed by the Ancestral Demonic Tree was intentional or not, a method used to lure him into a trap.
Holding the World Sword, the leader of the Cyan Alliance was almost invincible. However, the premise was that he couldn't stray too far from the Cyan World. Beyond a certain range, the power of the World Sword would be weakened.
If the Ancestral Demonic Tree had such intentions, the leader of the Cyan Alliance naturally needed to be cautious.
However, just a moment ago, during the fierce battle with the Ancestral Demonic Tree in the Demonic World, he used the perception of the World Sword.
The leader of the Cyan Alliance truly felt the weakness of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
Under the vigorous battle, coupled with the perception of the World Sword, the leader of the Cyan Alliance confirmed his judgment.
"Everyone, the opportunity for my Cyan World has arrived."
The leader of the Cyan Alliance breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the twelve deputy leaders around him, speaking seriously.
"Opportunity?"
"What opportunity?"
"Do you know what's going on, Leader?"
The twelve deputy leaders were initially worried, but seeing the leader's expression and tone, they became curious.
"Ancestral Demonic Tree."
The leader of the Cyan Alliance immediately spoke out his judgment.
"For more than three hundred years, the extraterrestrial evil gods forcibly opened a battlefield outside my Cyan World, dragging us into an endless war."
"Every moment, the powerhouses of my Cyan World are dying, but with the evil god watching, we have no chance to destroy that battlefield."
The leader of the Cyan Alliance's tone was heavy, and the twelve deputy leaders were the same.
For more than three hundred years of war, their friends, relatives, and offspring had all joined the battlefield, with most dying at the hands of the evil god puppets.
Moreover, as long as that battlefield existed, the war couldn't stop.
They did want to destroy the battlefield, and in doing so, the evil god would lose the premise of launching the battlefield. However, the strength of the Ancestral Demonic Tree was too powerful.
Even if the leader of the Cyan Alliance and the twelve deputy leaders joined forces, they could only barely contend with the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
However, now.
The Ancestral Demonic Tree was inexplicably weak, and the leader of the Cyan Alliance even had the confidence to confront the opponent alone.
With this, there was a possibility of destroying the battlefield and ending the war.
As for the Ancestral Demonic Tree? The leader of the Cyan Alliance didn't plan to kill it. It was unrealistic. He just intended to drive it away.
"But now."
"The opportunity has come, the opportunity to completely end the war has come."
The leader of the Cyan Alliance's tone was inspiring as he looked at the twelve deputy leaders, speaking word by word.
"End the war?"
The twelve deputy leaders were excited.
They all dreamed of ending the war, but for three hundred years, they had never seen any hope.
Today, listening to the leader's words, their hearts were all stirred.
"Next, I will use all our hidden reserves to launch a counterattack," the leader of the Cyan Alliance said. "If that evil god dares to interfere, leave it to me."
"You just need to occupy the entire battlefield and then destroy it."
"Yes." The twelve deputy leaders did not hesitate.
The evil god's battlefield was located outside the world, which should be considered the evil god's stronghold and rear area.
As long as this evil god battlefield is destroyed, the Ancestral Demonic Tree's attempt to invade the Cyan World can only rely on its own strength to directly impact the entire world, making it almost impossible.
With the current strength of the Ancestral Demonic Tree and the vigilance of the Cyan World's powerhouses, it is basically impossible for it to open a second battlefield.
In theory, once the evil god battlefield is destroyed, the Ancestral Demonic Tree will lose the ability to descend into the Cyan World.
"Issue my edict, command the ten major mountain beast kings, proceed to the battlefield, prepare for the counterattack," said the leader of the Cyan Alliance.
The invasion of the Ancestral Demonic Tree was met with the united force of the Cyan World.
However, in reality, before the war, many powerhouses, including the leader of the Cyan Alliance, had prepared for the worst.
That was the inability to resist the invasion of the Ancestral Demonic Tree, resulting in a frontal battlefield defeat.
The war situation would then spread to the world.
Because of this, the leader of the Cyan Alliance, even though he had experienced the worst conditions of war, did not summon the ten mountain beast kings.
The mountain beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges were the last resort of the Cyan World, used to prevent the war from collapsing and the puppets of the evil god from infiltrating the world.
At that time, the mountain beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges would exert their full strength, temporarily resisting the invasion of the evil god puppets in place of the defeated army of cultivators.
This had been agreed upon by the leader of the Cyan Alliance and the mountain beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges in a covenant established years ago.
In crucial moments, the mountain beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges must obey the leader of the Cyan Alliance's commands.
Of course, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing.
Originally, the mountain beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges were reserved by the leader of the Cyan Alliance as the last force of resistance.
But now, the leader of the Cyan Alliance intended to gather all available forces for a counterattack, and plans needed to be adjusted accordingly.
For example, these mountain beast kings were a formidable force, perfect for being used as the tip of the spear in the counterattack.
As long as the counterattack succeeded and the evil god was repelled, everything would be worthwhile.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
The twelve deputy leaders were enthusiastic and immediately turned back to convey the leader of the Cyan Alliance's orders.
In addition to the mountain beast kings, there were many hidden forces in the Cyan World, and each of these hidden forces required the authorization and command of the twelve deputy leaders.
The leader of the Cyan Alliance watched as the twelve deputy leaders left.
Next, to fully mobilize all the forces of the Cyan World, the vice leaders, guardians, elders, and other high-ranking members of the Cyan Alliance would travel within the Cyan World.
As for him, he needed to continue to hold the battlefield, preventing the final counterattack of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
"It's almost over."
The leader of the Cyan Alliance's gaze was deep as he thought to himself.
Outside the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Two streams of light descended.
"This is the Black Mist Mountain Range."
"I remember there are eight beast kings in the Black Mist Mountain Range. The strongest is the Giant Elephant King, who possesses the bloodline of an ancient divine elephant."
The two streams of light transformed into two figures. On the left was a thin old man named Qu Zhuang, an elder of the Cyan Alliance.
The Cyan Alliance had a total of one hundred and fifty-six elders, each of them having sixth-tier strength, belonging to the high-level power of the alliance.
On the right was a young man named Liao An, also an elder of the Cyan Alliance.
Unlike Elder Qu Zhuang, Liao An was relatively young, in his early three hundred years. He basically had not been born when the Cyan World encountered the invasion of the Ancestral Demonic Tree.
Therefore, Liao An had never been to the Black Mist Mountain Range. Most of his time was spent on the war against the evil gods, fighting countless ruthless and ferocious evil god puppets.
"Let's go."
"Let's go inside."
The lean old man, Qu Zhuang, introduced some information about the Black Mist Mountain Range to Liao An and then set off into the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Their purpose for coming here is to convey the leader of the Cyan Alliance's edict, ordering the eight beast kings of the Black Mist Mountain Range to go to the evil god battlefield and prepare for the upcoming counterattack.
"The leader, with his extraordinary abilities, actually gained the upper hand against the foreign evil gods, having overwhelming advantages. Now, he is even preparing for a counterattack."
On the way, the lean old man, Qu Zhuang, couldn't help but marvel. When he first heard the leader's command to gather all the strength of the Cyan World for a counterattack, he was genuinely surprised.
"Indeed."
Liao An nodded.
"I hope that after repelling the evil gods, I can have a home."
Liao An couldn't help but say.
"That's easy."
"With your strength and status, after driving away the evil gods, you'll be a hero of the world. I don't know how many beautiful women will be throwing themselves at you."
The lean old man, Qu Zhuang, laughed heartily.
As they walked and chatted, suddenly, Liao An stopped.
Carefully observing his surroundings.
"What's wrong?"
Qu Zhuang, the lean old man, also stopped, looking at Liao An in confusion.
"Nothing."
"I just feel, is it too quiet?"
Liao An frowned slightly. "Although I haven't been to the Black Mist Mountain Range, I've heard that this is the territory of fierce and savage beasts. It shouldn't be this quiet."
Being able to become an elder of the Cyan Alliance at the age of over three hundred, Liao An had not only gained more opportunities due to the invasion of the Ancestral Demonic Tree but also had a certain intuition and instinct different from ordinary people.
He often sensed danger before it arrived.
"It does seem a bit quiet."
Qu Zhuang, the lean old man, nodded slightly.
"But it shouldn't have much impact. Perhaps the beast kings deep in the mountains have commanded the fierce beasts to leave this area?"
Qu Zhuang didn't think too much.
Although the Black Mist Mountain Range was the territory of fierce and savage beasts, under the invasion of foreign evil gods, humans and beasts had long reached a consensus.
They were allies.
"Hopefully."
Liao An thought for a moment and felt that he might be overthinking. This was the rear of the Cyan World, and while it might not be absolutely safe, it was still relatively secure. Bringing the vigilant mindset from the evil god battlefield here seemed inappropriate.
"Let's go."
"We should be close."
Qu Zhuang accelerated his flying speed.
Liao An followed behind, heading towards the depths of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just at that moment, a colossal creature, nearly a hundred yards tall, blocked their way.
This colossal creature was the King of Divine Apes, tasked by Lin Yuan to patrol the Black Mist Mountain Range.
"It is one of the eight kings in the Black Mist Mountain Range, called the 'King of Divine Apes.'"
Seeing the King of Divine Apes, Qu Zhuang, the lean old man, was not surprised but rather delighted. He turned to introduce Liao An.
"The King of Divine Apes?"
Liao An glanced up and nodded slightly.
From the momentum alone, the Monkey King surpassed ordinary cultivators who had just entered the sixth tier.
With its massive physique and innate abilities as a demonic beast, even a peak cultivator of the sixth tier would not dare to underestimate it.
"Monkey King, we are here by the order of the Alliance Master, commanding you and the other beast kings to go to the evil god battlefield," Elder Qu Zhuang, the thin old man, conveyed directly to the Monkey King.
"Go to the evil god battlefield?"
The Monkey King naturally wouldn't agree. At present, it only listened to Lin Yuan's commands, and the title of the Cyan Alliance Master meant nothing to it.
"Not going."
The Monkey King hummed.
"Not going?"
Elder Qu Zhuang was stunned, seemed to realize something, and patted his head.
"I almost forgot."
"This is the Alliance Master's order. Now you should go."
Elder Qu Zhuang took out a token with the words 'Cyan Alliance' on it.
The token was only the size of a palm but emitted an inexplicable fluctuation, making it impossible to be copied or replaced.
"Alliance Master's order?"
The Monkey King observed carefully.
Although it was parasitized by the demonic seed, it retained memories from before. It knew the significance of the Alliance Master's order.
It represented the highest authority in the Cyan World, and all beings, whether human or demonic beast, had to obey its commands.
However, this did not include the Monkey King.
The Monkey King only recognized Lin Yuan's commands.
"Wait here, I will contact the other kings."
The Monkey King closed its eyes and secretly contacted Lin Yuan.
In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Lin Yuan was still immersed in his enlightenment.
Since the Ancestral Demonic Tree released many restrictions on him, various innate abilities of the Ancestral Demonic Tree had awakened in Lin Yuan.
Without much rest, Lin Yuan had been analyzing and absorbing these abilities with his extraordinary comprehension, refining them, and integrating them into the path of martial arts.
"I didn't expect that when the Ancestral Demonic Tree lifted the restrictions, the abilities of the demonic tree seed would also improve significantly."
Lin Yuan sighed slightly.
The demonic tree seed was an ability naturally possessed by the subordinate demonic tree.
It could be obtained when the demonic tree reached a certain stage of growth.
Originally, Lin Yuan thought that the Ancestral Demonic Tree hadn't done much to influence the demonic tree seed.
But now it seemed that he had underestimated the Ancestral Demonic Tree's precautions against the subordinate demonic tree.
The most obvious manifestation was that after the Ancestral Demonic Tree lifted the suppression on Lin Yuan, he not only awakened many abilities of the former but also saw a substantial improvement in the demonic tree seed he already had.
This improvement was comprehensive. Lin Yuan, with his extraordinary comprehension, perfected the demonic tree seed, significantly enhancing its parasitic ability.
The one being parasitized was almost indistinguishable from its original state, capable of deceiving others.
Similarly, the perfected demonic tree seed limited Lin Yuan to summoning a maximum of one hundred seeds.
And now, the number of perfected demonic tree seeds Lin Yuan could summon had increased from one hundred to three hundred.
"Three hundred perfect demonic tree seeds. I don't have to be so selective anymore."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
So far, only seven beast kings have been parasitized by Lin Yuan.
As for others? Lin Yuan has no interest in those demonic beasts below the level of beast kings.
"Hmm?"
"Someone entered the Black Mist Mountain Range?"
Lin Yuan seemed to sense something and looked into a certain direction.
Currently, Lin Yuan's root system had spread throughout the entire Black Mist Mountain Range.
As long as anything happened within this range, it couldn't escape Lin Yuan's perception.
The two elders of the Cyan Alliance, the moment they entered the Black Mist Mountain Range, were sensed by Lin Yuan.
"Do those two have sixth-tier strength?"
Lin Yuan carefully sensed for a while.
After a moment.
Through the demonic tree seeds, the Monkey King sent back a message to Lin Yuan.
Saying that the ones entering the Black Mist Mountain Range were two elders from the Cyan Alliance.
"Two sixth-tier elders from the Cyan Alliance."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
What a coincidence! Just as he was thinking of finding new hosts, the elders from the Cyan Alliance came knocking on his door?
End of this chapter.
Chapter 205: Outer Domain Evil God is Right in Front of Us? (Happy New Year)
Black Mist Mountain Range.
The thin old man, Qu Zhuang, and Liao An waited in place.
The Monkey King was not far away, in meditation. According to its intention, it was contacting other Beast Kings.
"Uncle Zhuang, I still feel something is wrong."
Liao An seemed to observe the surroundings and became more uneasy, as if there were invisible eyes secretly watching him.
This feeling was intense and usually only occurred when facing a life-and-death crisis on the Evil God battlefield.
Liao An had fought on the Evil God battlefield for two or three hundred years, but the real life-and-death crisis had not occurred more than ten times. Each time, relying on this special perception, he avoided danger in advance, preserved his life, and eventually earned numerous merits, becoming an elder of the Cyan Alliance.
However, now?
Even in theoretically absolutely safe places in the rear of the Cyan World, he felt this way?
Liao An found it somewhat unbelievable but couldn't help mentioning it to the thin old man, Qu Zhuang.
In fact, Liao An had this feeling right after entering the Black Mist Mountain Range, but Qu Zhuang didn't pay much attention to it.
"What's wrong?"
Qu Zhuang asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
Liao An frowned. He didn't know what was wrong. His sixth sense was just relentlessly warning him.
"Didn't they say all the Beast Kings are in the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range? Why is this Monkey King running out now?"
Liao An thought for a moment, glanced at the Monkey King, and casually made an excuse.
"This..."
Qu Zhuang fell into silence.
Why the Monkey King appeared here—the entire Black Mist Mountain Range was the territory of the Beast Kings. The Monkey King could go wherever it wanted; they had no control over it.
"Alright."
"You guys follow me in."
"They are also ready to meet you."
The Monkey King stood up, and its huge body blocked the sunlight, casting Qu Zhuang and Liao An into shadow.
Boom, boom, boom.
The Monkey King took big strides toward the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An exchanged glances.
"Don't worry, this is the Black Mist Mountain Range. Would those Beast Kings dare to attack us? Aren't they afraid the Alliance Master would punish them?"
Qu Zhuang reassured Liao An.
"I hope so."
Liao An calmed down and followed Qu Zhuang.
As time passed, the group got closer to the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
"This..."
Liao An's heart raced, and his vision blurred slightly.
Danger.
Danger.
Extremely dangerous.
Liao An felt every inch of his flesh trembling.
"How could this feeling occur?"
Liao An couldn't believe it. The last time he had this feeling was over a hundred years ago.
Back then, Liao An was only at the fourth rank, battling the puppets of the Evil Gods on the Evil God battlefield.
That was the first time Liao An experienced this premonition, and soon after, the true form of the Outer Domain Evil God descended, wreaking havoc on the battlefield.
"Outer Domain... Outer Domain Evil God?"
Liao An's scalp tingled. He couldn't believe that in the rear of the Cyan World, the same sensation as before the descent of the Outer Domain Evil God was occurring.
"No, I can't go on."
"We can't go any further."
Although Liao An himself didn't believe that the descent of the Outer Domain Evil God would happen in the depths of the Black Mist Mountain Range, his instinct from his body made him afraid to continue.
Even if he faced punishment from the Cyan Alliance or even lost his position as an elder.
Swoosh.
Liao An soared into the sky, fleeing wildly from the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
"What?"
The thin old man, Qu Zhuang, was a bit stunned.
He didn't understand why Liao An suddenly took such action.
"Running away?"
The Monkey King leading the way in front glanced at the frantically fleeing Liao An, extending its right hand to pat him.
Boom!
Terrifying power began to oppress the space. Although the Monkey King appeared extremely weak in front of Lin Yuan and had no resistance, it was dominant enough against outsiders. With a single slap, it severely injured Liao An, smashing him fiercely to the ground.
"You?"
Qu Zhuang didn't react for a while.
First, Liao An fled without any reason, and then the Monkey King decisively attacked, severely injuring Liao An with a slap.
"Monkey King, how dare you?"
Although he didn't know why Liao An did what he did, as an elder of the Cyan Alliance, Qu Zhuang naturally stood by Liao An's side.
Moreover, Liao An hadn't done anything, so why did the Monkey King act so ruthlessly?
"He's not dead, just injured."
The Monkey King looked down at Qu Zhuang and said in a buzzing voice.
"Injured?"
"Humph, in that case, let's go back to heal. When the injuries are recovered, we'll come back to announce the Alliance Master's orders."
Qu Zhuang fell silent for a moment, then got up and flew towards Liao An.
The sudden action of the Monkey King made him vaguely feel that something was wrong, combined with what Liao An had just said. Qu Zhuang felt that the Black Mist Mountain Range seemed different from before.
Although Qu Zhuang had never dealt with the Monkey King, as a Monster Beast King, his intelligence was no different from theirs, and he clearly understood what it meant to attack an elder of the Cyan Alliance.
Even so, the Monkey King still did it, which made Qu Zhuang somewhat frightened.
Two possibilities.
One, the Monkey King had gone mad.
Two, the Monkey King simply didn't care about the Cyan Alliance or its Alliance Master.
Only in such cases would it act so recklessly.
"Go back?"
"No need to go back."
"You can recover from your injuries here."
The Monkey King raised its head, looking at the thin old man, Qu Zhuang, from a distance.
"How?"
"Are you planning to leave me here to recover, Monkey King?"
Qu Zhuang sneered. Although his strength was inferior to the Monkey King's, it was only a matter of degree.
The Monkey King couldn't deal with him as it did with Liao An, severely injuring him with a slap.
Liao An was just a newly-promoted Sixth Stage, while Qu Zhuang had been a Sixth Stage powerhouse long before the invasion of the Ancestral Monster Tree.
"Give it a try."
The Monkey King directly took action, and a terrifying aura spread.
"As expected, there's something wrong with the Black Mist Mountain Range."
Qu Zhuang said word by word, as the Monkey King not only attacked Liao An but also intended to leave him completely in the Black Mist Mountain Range.
What was its intention?
"Break."
Qu Zhuang's aura suddenly soared, delivering a full-force blow that barely staggered the Monkey King.
Then, he shot into the sky, heading towards the depths of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
"Not good."
The Monkey King was about to step forward in pursuit.
"With your foolishness, you still want to chase me?"
Qu Zhuang turned his head and glanced. With his speed, he could quickly enter the outer area of the Black Mist Mountain Range, where he could contact other members of the Cyan Alliance.
"Black Mist Mountain Range, daring to commit such a heinous act, I will definitely report to the Alliance Master truthfully and crush you all."
Qu Zhuang's expression darkened as he made up his mind.
However, at that moment.
Buzz.
A black vine silently rose from the ground, lightly pulling, causing Qu Zhuang to pass out.
"Thanks for the master's intervention."
The Monkey King strode forward, slightly bowing towards the depths of the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Without that black vine, Qu Zhuang might have escaped.
After an unknown amount of time, Qu Zhuang and Liao An gradually regained consciousness.
"I, I'm not dead?"
The thin old man Qu Zhuang felt his thoughts turn into a mess.
In the last moment of his memory, all he saw was a pitch-black vine lashing towards him.
The sensation that vine gave him was far beyond what the Monkey King could achieve.
Facing a Monster Beast King, Qu Zhuang still had the ability to resist.
But when he saw that pitch-black vine just now, Qu Zhuang felt that from all directions, it was squeezing in on him—up, down, left, right, everywhere.
There was simply no way to evade, and no possibility of avoiding that pitch-black vine.
This feeling, Qu Zhuang had only experienced it when he met the Alliance Master of the Cyan Alliance, the strongest in the Cyan World, the one who wielded the World Sword.
It was a feeling of powerlessness and despair, as if an ant were looking up at the vastness of the heavens and the earth.
A peak Seventh Stage powerhouse.
A Seventh Stage peak powerhouse had made a move against them.
Qu Zhuang had just formed this thought in his mind when he completely lost consciousness and fainted.
"Where is this?"
Liao An, who was beside him, also woke up.
He swallowed his saliva and looked around in all directions.
This was an open valley, surrounded by abundant spiritual energy. If they were still in the Black Mist Mountain Range, it could only be the deepest part of it.
"Uncle Zhuang, what do we do now?"
Liao An also noticed that Qu Zhuang, who had awakened beside him, was equally anxious.
At this moment, the two of them, with fear in their hearts, discovered that their entire bodies, including their qi, blood, and souls, were all sealed, making it impossible for them to move even the slightest. The fear they felt can be imagined.
"Monster Beast Kings..."
Qu Zhuang raised his head and looked around.
Surprisingly, he found that in the distance on both sides, seven huge figures were standing respectfully.
These seven towering figures included the Monkey King they had just met, the Elephant King known to Qu Zhuang, and the Blue Bird King, among others.
All seven Monster Beast Kings from the Black Mist Mountain Range had gathered here.
What surprised Qu Zhuang the most was that these seven majestic Monster Beast Kings were all standing there respectfully, bowing towards the highest point.
Who?
Who could make Monster Beast Kings bow down so respectfully, even submissively?
Qu Zhuang couldn't believe it. Monster Beast Kings were proud creatures. They had noble bloodlines and always looked down on human cultivators.
Throughout the Cyan Alliance, the only ones who could make Monster Beast Kings lower their heads were the Alliance Master and the Deputy Alliance Masters.
However, even if they lowered their heads out of deference, it had nothing to do with submission.
With a sense of incredible fear and a hint of curiosity, Qu Zhuang followed the direction where the seven Monster Beast Kings were bowing.
Splash.
There was an ancient tree.
Its branches swayed, and black vines drooped.
Vaguely, an evil and ancient aura rushed towards them.
"What is that?"
Qu Zhuang was a bit confused. He vaguely felt that he had seen this ancient tree before, but he couldn't remember exactly when.
Or perhaps, he had remembered, but instinctively rejected it because the true identity of this ancient tree carried an unprecedented terror.
"Uncle Zhuang, it's an Outsider Evil God, an Outsider Evil God!"
The voice of Liao An trembled, instantly breaking Qu Zhuang's psychological defense.
Yes.
It was an Outsider Evil God.
This ancient tree was extremely similar to the Outsider Evil Gods on the Outsider Evil God battlefield, beyond the world.
In appearance, features, and aura, it was like a smaller version of the Ancestral Monster Tree.
But
How could this be?
The thin old man Qu Zhuang couldn't help but shiver in his soul.
If what they saw was an Outsider Evil God, then what was the significance of the Ancestral Monster Tree, who single-handedly dragged the entire Cyan World into the quagmire of war on the battlefield beyond the world? After all their hardships, fighting desperately on the battlefield against the Outsider Evil Gods, intending to keep them outside the world and fight for the survival of the creatures within the world.
But in the end, when they turned around, the Outsider Evil Gods had long entered the Cyan World?
For a moment, Qu Zhuang felt somewhat despondent. At this moment, he vaguely realized that the Cyan World was shrouded in despair.
"Outsider Evil Gods."
"No, you definitely are not an Outsider Evil God."
"At least, it's not the true body of an Outsider Evil God descending."
Just when Qu Zhuang felt as if all hope was lost, Liao An, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and stared fixedly at the ancient tree that the seven Monster Beast Kings were bowing to.
As Liao An's words fell, the seven distant Monster Beast Kings cast a glance at him.
Terrifying pressure descended, but Liao An remained standing, even if his legs were trembling.
After a long while, a massive mental fluctuation emanated from the ancient tree.
"Why do you say that?"
Lin Yuan looked down at Liao An and Qu Zhuang with keen interest.
Since arriving in this world, Lin Yuan had at most eavesdropped on the exchanges between human cultivators. However, he had never directly interacted with human cultivators.
One reason was to avoid exposing weaknesses. Humans were much smarter than Monster Beasts, and before his strength became invincible in the world, he naturally avoided contact with these intelligent beings.
Secondly, it was unnecessary. Lin Yuan could find out what he wanted to know through covert soul-searching, without the need for direct communication.
"Why do you say that?"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's response, Liao An's scalp exploded again. At this moment, he was sure that this smaller version of the Ancestral Monster Tree before him had specific consciousness.
"If you were the true body of an Outsider Evil God, there would be no need to hide within the Black Mist Mountain Range. You could have acted long ago, so why bother fighting with our Cyan Alliance outside?"
Liao An took a deep breath.
"Now, it's best for you to let us go."
"Both of us are elders of the Cyan Alliance, with high positions. This time, coming to the Black Mist Mountain Range to command the Monster Beast Kings, if we don't return for a long time, it will inevitably attract the investigation of other alliance powerhouses. As time goes on."
Liao An analyzed the pros and cons to Lin Yuan confidently.
"Lastly, although I don't know what relationship you have with that Outsider Evil God, as long as you join forces with our Cyan Alliance, when we deal with that Outsider Evil God, I will plead with the Alliance Master to spare your life."
Liao An spoke slowly.
Everything he said at this moment was based on his own speculations.
That is, the ancient tree in front of him is not the true Outsider Evil God from beyond the world.
Or, it is not entirely devoted to that Outsider Evil God.
Liao An had some basis for this conclusion: he and Qu Zhuang did not die instantly.
If they faced a true Outsider Evil God, the two of them wouldn't have had a chance to wake up, let alone negotiate conditions here.
Even if they were avenged by powerhouse from the Cyan Alliance later, they would be dead.
Time slowly passed.
Liao An and Qu Zhuang nervously waited for Lin Yuan's judgment.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 206: Unexpected Ending, Controlling the Cyan World! (Happy New Year)
In the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountain Range, Qu Zhuang and Liao An were tense.
Their only hope now was that Lin Yuan would fear the Cyan Alliance, hesitate to completely turn hostile, and spare their lives.
However, Lin Yuan just glanced at them and released the seeds of the Monster Tree, initiating the parasitic process.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An, as elders of the Cyan Alliance, sixth-level cultivators, barely met Lin Yuan's criteria for "parasitism."
Plus, being high-ranking cultivators of the Cyan Alliance made them even more valuable for "parasitism."
Buzz!!!
Two gray seeds fell.
After perfecting the parasitic effect, the Monster Tree seeds appeared darker in color, with a mysterious soul power circulating faintly.
"Not good."
"He wants to parasitize us."
Seeing this, the thin old man Qu Zhuang immediately speculated on Lin Yuan's intentions.
As elders of the Cyan Alliance, they had fought on the battlefield against the Evil Gods for many years and were familiar with the various methods employed by the Outsider Evil Gods.
Among them was the ability to parasitize. Although the human cultivators parasitized by it would have vacant expressions and stiff movements, they would inherit more than half of their battle strength from their past life and become fearless in battle.
More importantly, it caused a psychological impact on the cultivators of the Cyan World.
Once comrades who fought side by side, now parasitized and transformed into ferocious enemies attacking them.
"It's useless."
"Even if you parasitize me, you won't be able to hide it for too long. If we disappear for too long, the Alliance's powerhouses will definitely be alerted."
Liao An struggled while roaring softly.
At this moment, they were resisting the parasitic ability of the Monster Tree seeds.
"Not possible to hide for too long?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly without explaining too much.
Elders like Liao An and Qu Zhuang from the Cyan Alliance had only limited knowledge of the parasitic ability of the Monster Tree seeds, mainly based on the Ancestral Monster Tree from the Outsider Evil God battlefield.
But Lin Yuan was not the Ancestral Monster Tree. The parasitic ability of the Monster Tree seeds, after being perfected over decades with his extraordinary insight, surpassed the Ancestral Monster Tree by far.
In this regard, just look at the seven Monster Beast Kings nearby.
Liao An and Qu Zhuang, from start to finish, did not notice that the Monster Beast Kings had already been parasitized; they thought the beasts had just submitted to Lin Yuan.
Splash!
The seeds of the Monster Tree quickly merged into the eyebrows of Liao An and Qu Zhuang.
After a brief struggle, these two sixth-level elders immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Lin Yuan. "Master."
"Success?"
Lin Yuan carefully sensed it.
Confirming that the Monster Tree seeds in their minds had completely merged, he asked casually, "Tell me, why did you come to the Black Mist Mountain Range, and how is the situation in the Evil God battlefield?"
Lin Yuan had already received reports from the Monkey King that these two alliance elders were here on the orders of the Cyan Alliance Master to summon the Monster Beast Kings and launch a counterattack in the Evil God battlefield.
However, he wanted to inquire about the specific details.
"Master, the Cyan Alliance Master has confirmed that the Outsider Evil God is in an extremely weakened state. Therefore, he plans to launch a counterattack to completely destroy the Evil God battlefield."
"For this, the Cyan Alliance Master decided to use many resources of the Cyan World, such as the Monster Beast Kings of the ten major mountain ranges and some war machines, among others."
"Many of these resources can only be activated by the deputy alliance masters. So, this time, the Alliance Master has sent all twelve deputy alliance masters and various guardian elders into the Cyan World."
"To quickly gather numerous profound weapons and launch a counterattack," Liao An spoke with a respectful tone, lowering his voice.
After being parasitized by the demonic seeds, the original essence did not essentially die; it was merely 'replaced,' so many memories remained unaffected.
"I see," Lin Yuan nodded. The ancestral demonic tree had fallen into an extremely weakened state, and Lin Yuan naturally understood the reason.
"Are you saying that the twelve deputy alliance leaders of the Cyan Alliance and the elder protectors are all inside the Cyan World?" Lin Yuan seemed to realize something and asked.
"Yes, Master," Liao An and Qu Zhuang glanced at each other, nodding in confirmation.
"That's interesting." Lin Yuan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful.
"In that case, after you two go out, bring one or two elders with you," Lin Yuan instructed.
Currently, the number of his demonic seeds had surged to three hundred, allowing for more parasitism.
Outside the Black Mist Mountains, Liao An and Qu Zhuang transformed into streaks of light, flying out.
"Master wants us to bring other elders back. Which one should we bring?" Liao An contemplated, looking at Qu Zhuang.
Though both were elders of the Cyan Alliance, in terms of connections and influence, Qu Zhuang undoubtedly surpassed him.
"I have someone in mind."
"Follow me."
Qu Zhuang nodded, immediately flying towards another of the Ten Great Mountain Ranges.
The Beastkin Mountain Range, also one of the ten major mountain ranges in the Cyan World.
Outside the Beastkin Mountain Range stood a middle-aged man.
"These beast kings, always dragging their feet. They received the Alliance Lord's decree and still say they need to prepare," the middle-aged man named 'Bian Bo' complained. He was also one of the Cyan Alliance elders.
This time, he came to the Beastkin Mountain Range to convey the Alliance Lord's decree, pardoning the beast kings and urging them to launch a counterattack in the war against the evil gods.
Just as 'Bian Bo' was getting a bit impatient, two streaks of light suddenly appeared not far away.
"It turns out to be Brothers Qu Zhuang and Liao An."
Bian Bo swept his gaze and immediately greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Bian Bo." Qu Zhuang, the lean old man, smiled.
"How's it going? Are these beast kings cooperating?" Qu Zhuang inquired.
"Cooperating? With the Alliance Lord's decree, dare they not cooperate?" Bian Bo sneered, "But these beast kings are too sluggish, claiming they need some time to prepare."
"Is that so?" Qu Zhuang raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm?"
"Brother Qu Zhuang, what do you mean?" Bian Bo sensed an underlying meaning and inquired.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An exchanged glances, speaking in hushed tones, "Brother Bian Bo, you are aware that we are responsible for the Black Mist Mountains."
"Yes," Bian Bo nodded.
"We went to convey the decree to the beast kings in the Black Mist Mountains. Some of them were quite sensible, willingly offering treasures and requesting our favor on the battlefield," Qu Zhuang explained.
"That's a good deal." Bian Bo looked envious; the beast kings in the Beastkin Mountain Range didn't have such insight, not even offering kind words.
"Hahaha," Qu Zhuang chuckled triumphantly upon hearing this.
"I wonder what treasures the beast kings in the Black Mist Mountains presented?" Bian Bo asked, curious as he observed Qu Zhuang's pleased expression.
"Earth Milk," Qu Zhuang whispered.
"Earth Milk?" Bian Bo repeated, slightly puzzled.
"A million-year Earth Milk," Qu Zhuang added two more words.
"A million-year Earth Milk?" Bian Bo widened his eyes. This was a valuable item, especially for sixth-level cultivators like them, as it could have a rejuvenating effect on their bodies.
"Unfortunately."
"A million-year Earth Milk cannot be preserved or carried. Liao An and I absorbed it for most of the day until we couldn't continue, then we came out," Qu Zhuang shook his head.
"Right."
"A million-year Earth Milk is a genuine treasure of heaven and earth. Once it leaves its birthplace, it rapidly dissipates," Bian Bo nodded. This was common knowledge in the cultivation world.
But in the next moment, Bian Bo caught on.
"Brother Qu Zhuang, are you saying there's still some of that million-year Earth Milk left?" he probed.
"More than just some," Qu Zhuang shook his head, "By the way, Brother Bian Bo, do you want to absorb some? It's a rare opportunity."
"Thank you, Brother Qu Zhuang!" Bian Bo was overjoyed.
"However, I need to stay here to wait for the beast kings in the Beastkin Mountain Range," Bian Bo hesitated.
"That's not a problem. Liao An, you lead Brother Bian Bo to the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains, and I'll wait here. It'll be fine," Qu Zhuang reassured, patting his chest.
"Then."
"Thank you, Brother Qu Zhuang." Bian Bo looked moved. Brother Qu Zhuang was such a good person, informing him about the million-year Earth Milk, and even waiting here for the beast kings.
"Go, go."
"Our relationship will be closer in the future," Qu Zhuang waved his hand.
"Of course." Bian Bo nodded affirmatively.
By a verdant lake,
An old man with a goat beard stood there, silently observing the lake.
"Four hundred years ago, when the extraterrestrial evil gods appeared outside the world, various forces in the Cyan World were shaken. The Xuanwu Beast King, known as one of the Four Holy Beasts, was sleeping here."
"Before the Xuanwu Beast King went to sleep, it made a covenant with the Alliance Lord, saying that in the future, if there were significant matters related to extraterrestrial evil gods, it could be awakened, just ask."
The old man with the goat beard contemplated, his thoughts fluctuating.
He was the protector of the Cyan Alliance, with peak sixth-tier strength. This time, he entered the Cyan World specifically to awaken the Xuanwu Beast King.
"Hmm?"
Just then, the old man with the goat beard glanced into the distance.
"Third uncle, it's me, third uncle."
A figure quickly flew over, and it was 'Bian Bo.'
"Little Bo."
The old man with the goat beard nodded slightly.
As a senior member of the Cyan Alliance, the old man with the goat beard occasionally offered assistance to his descendants.
Bian Bo was one of his more promising descendants.
"What's the matter?"
The old man with the goat beard asked directly.
He had the task of awakening the Xuanwu Beast King and couldn't afford to waste much time.
"I have a friend who went to the Black Mist Mountains to enlist the beast kings there and bring them to the battlefield against the evil gods."
Bian Bo spoke.
"I know about that."
The old man with the goat beard nodded.
Those deputy alliance leaders and elder protectors who returned from the battlefield against the evil gods had their own tasks.
"Third uncle, guess what my friend found in the Black Mist Mountains."
As Bian Bo spoke, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings.
"Found something?"
The old man with the goat beard smiled somewhat amusedly.
"He Dao Flower, a millennium He Dao Flower."
Bian Bo lowered his voice and said solemnly.
"A millennium He Dao Flower?"
The old man with the goat beard's pupils tightened.
A sixth-tier peak cultivator aiming to break through to the seventh tier, in addition to the need for personal enlightenment on the Dao, can significantly expedite or even bypass the process with the help of external items like the millennium He Dao Flower.
The old man with the goat beard, being a sixth-tier peak powerhouse, had always dreamed of advancing to the seventh tier. However, due to his insufficient innate talent, it seemed improbable unless some unexpected event occurred in the future.
But now, he saw a glimmer of hope.
The millennium He Dao Flower.
If he could obtain that flower, stepping into the seventh tier would be a sure thing.
By then, leveraging his past contributions and relationships with several deputy alliance leaders, the old man with the goat beard would become the twelfth deputy alliance leader of the Cyan Alliance.
"Is this true?" The old man with the goat beard stared at Bian Bo. "Also, since it's a millennium He Dao Flower, why didn't you keep it for yourself and instead tell me?"
Although the old man with the goat beard had received much help from Bian Bo, when faced with such a significant opportunity to reach the seventh tier, even if they were uncle and nephew, they might turn against each other.
"Third uncle."
"The eight beast kings in the Black Mist Mountains joined forces to seize the He Dao Flower, and I couldn't get my hands on it at all."
"So, I came to tell third uncle."
Bian Bo explained.
"Why not report it to the alliance?" The old man with the goat beard asked.
"Report to the alliance? How much benefit can they give me?"
"It's better to tell third uncle. When third uncle advances to the seventh tier and becomes a deputy alliance leader, don't forget about Little Bo," Bian Bo's face showed a timely expression of fear.
"I see." The old man with the goat beard nodded slightly.
This made sense.
It wasn't that Bian Bo didn't want the He Dao Flower; he simply couldn't get it. If this continued, those beast kings might devour it.
"These beast kings, a bunch of useless creatures. We, humans, defend against the invasion of evil gods on the battlefield, while these animals enjoy themselves in the rear."
"Treasures like the He Dao Flower rightfully belong to us humans, and they dare to think of monopolizing it."
The old man with the goat beard was furious. "Little Bo, take me there. I want to see which beast kings dare to seize the He Dao Flower."
Immediately, the old man with the goat beard and Bian Bo headed to the Black Mist Mountains.
As for awakening the Xuanwu Beast King, it wasn't urgent for the time being. It could be done later, after obtaining the He Dao Flower.
Several days later,
On top of a tall mountain,
A tall man stood with his hands behind his back.
"This place seals one of the most powerful foundations of our Cyan World, a war machine that dominates everything."
The tall man expressed a slight nostalgia.
As the deputy alliance leader of the Cyan Alliance, second only to the Alliance Lord, only he possessed the 'authority' to activate this foundation.
"Deputy Alliance Leader Gao."
"Deputy Alliance Leader Gao."
"We have a major discovery to report to you."
At this moment, a streak of light rapidly approached.
It was the old man with the goat beard.
"What major discovery is it?" Deputy Alliance Leader Gao turned his head, glancing at the old man with the goat beard.
In the Cyan Alliance, the old man with the goat beard belonged to his command, and the two had a relatively close relationship.
"I have a nephew who, in the Black Mist Mountains, discovered traces of world weapons."
After employing a technique to prevent eavesdropping, the old man with the goat beard spoke in a lowered voice.
Six months later,
Deep within the Black Mist Mountains,
The twelve deputy alliance leaders of the Cyan Alliance, thirty-three protectors, one hundred and fifty-six elders, four sacred beast kings, and ninety-three mighty beast kings all stood respectfully.
They directed various questions at Lin Yuan regarding the hidden secrets of the Cyan World.
Looking down at the sixteen seventh-tier experts, eighty-eight sixth-tier peak powerhouses, and one hundred and ninety-four sixth-tier experts, Lin Yuan fell into contemplation, inevitably feeling emotional.
How did a small fry sent in by an extraterrestrial evil god end up controlling the entire Cyan World?
