Chapter 54

In the vast, bottomless pit, the Palace Master of the Shuiyun Palace burst forth in a fury, her robes disheveled. Surrounded by the power of the laws, she was about to tear Mu Sheng to pieces. Yet, upon seeing Mu Sheng’s current condition and the state of the world around them, even she showed a look of surprise.

An imperial decree had arrived from the capital city—Yu Mingche was to hurry out to receive it. Mu Xiyun dared not delay and quickly summoned Duor to come assist with changing clothes and grooming.

Many were unaware that timing was crucial for cosmetic procedures; during periods of bad fortune, especially in years plagued by disasters and illness, one must never undergo such treatments. Why? Because medical accidents are prone to occur.

“Song Ziming, since you’re looking for cultivation resources, then don’t leave. Stay here at my Yangxi Gate. We have plenty of cultivation resources, but you must join us,” Autumn Cicada said with pride.

He rose from his seat and sat beside Su Ning’er. Seeing this, Nan Wuyue set down her cup and followed suit.

The story was gradually unfolding. The world’s spiritual energies were merely the beginning; stronger waves were yet to come.

The Sea East Green, having become the Demon King, was twice as large as the Vermilion Bird. Though slightly weaker than the Vermilion Bird, compared to Ji Xuanqing and the others, it was by no means inferior.

“You find it for me!” Shen Congjie put her down. Tian Tian stood up, looking around at the black and white shirts.

Yet the fact was, two years ago they were at the same level. How could the gap have widened so drastically in such a short time?

Guests did not want to see, simply because they did not wish to frown or get involved with this person in any way.

One could see a silver nebula spinning rapidly. At its center was a crystallization of ‘existence’—neither matter nor energy, but something in between. It was the absolute steel core containing 98% of Joshua’s body’s material and energy.

The deliberately lowered voice could not carry far in the torrential rain, but all the soldiers remained disciplined, quickening their pace amidst the downpour.

The era of viral fame had passed, yet some veteran actors still enjoyed criticizing newcomers, claiming their acting was poor, while boasting about their own hardships in the past.

Netizens stood up for Huizhong, praising the company’s personnel reforms. Otherwise, Huizhong would have been burdened by a group of idlers, dragging down what had been China’s rare top multinational company, turning it into a global joke.

The threshold to becoming a director was lowering, yet to truly become one, you either had to be exceptionally talented or a writer or host with millions of fans. Otherwise, who would pay you any heed?

Bai Meimei spun around, her feathered attire and short skirt fluttering in the wind, revealing glimpses of spring beneath, making the young man named Ye Xiao blush and remain speechless.

Joshua shook his head. This kind of ‘emotion’ possessed no intrinsic power; it was merely a catalyst, igniting the potential within a person.

There is an ancient saying, “Without judging the times, both leniency and severity are mistakes.” The father erred by failing to discern the times, upholding a rather illusory spiritual ideal prevalent in Chinese society—something I believe was unnecessary to defend.

If it were ordinary people with such favorable conditions, they would eagerly agree. When faced with choosing between life and the allegiance of nearly two thousand extraordinary cultivators, anyone would know what to do. Yet Li Feng’s choice surprised them all.

By the time Yuan Zhen turned back to call him, Yuan Cheng had already disappeared, causing Yuan Zhen to cover her mouth and laugh quietly.

After traveling for a long time, a trembling sound, like the heavy footsteps of a colossal creature, suddenly echoed around them. Judging from the vibrations, the beast must be enormous. Both instantly became alert. Moments later, towering stone figures over ten meters tall came lumbering toward them.

“If your mother doesn’t recognize you, that’s fine. I recognize you,” Ling Shaofeng’s deep, melodious voice came through the receiver.

The creature seemed to notice something, perhaps because it was no longer as agile as before, or because it had become like a normal person. Instead of bursting forth from the water’s surface, it swam toward the shore and landed there cleanly and decisively.

Miao Miao, having waited a long time without news from him, was about to put away her phone and take a nap when suddenly, another message arrived.

She was the top ghost-handed thief in the Huaxia nation, skilled in poisons. She had just stolen a sapphire from the world’s largest marketplace, only to die unexpectedly.

One had to understand that the young spirit eagerly wished for him to come take her every day. Suddenly, being stopped from doing so led Gu Yixuan’s mind to spiral with wild thoughts.

By the time Zhou Jing and Gu Jinzi finished watching the fireworks, found the children, and brought them back to the palace, it was already late.

“I never sought glory. I only want to live peacefully with my husband, Tian Ge.”

Li Yang pressed his finger to her lips, then nodded in agreement. Ye Jiao gently bit his finger.

Beside him, the Six-Eared Macaque silently shifted two steps aside, closed his eyes slightly, folded his arms, and said no more.

This Fiend Blood Ancestor truly lived up to his title. Simply by absorbing the blood energy of others, he could enhance his own strength. But it seemed his lifespan was nearly at its end, reliant on this method to sustain himself. Even so, he could not continue like this for much longer.

“Is there a problem?” Yi Tianyun did not explain anything to her. This was the battlefield, especially since Yu Qingling had just tried to kill him—why should he show mercy?

The disciple was too frightened to conceal anything and hurriedly revealed all he knew, including the secret codes used for communication among the disciples of the Evil Sect, as well as the gathering of all sect members at Beisheng Prefecture to rebuild the Evil Sect.

Ye Cuo displayed his strength so forcefully that they all began to believe his background was extraordinary. Otherwise, he would never dare to kill a rhinoceros demon beast.

The story continued to unfold.
