Chapter 1378 - 879: Yu Emperor?!

Within the Mountain Realm, silence prevails.

No longer do the myriad beasts roar, even the dark clouds in the sky cease their rolling, with no hint of thunder.

The Twin Trees stand sacred and serene, their lush branches showering down pear blossoms.

The fragrance wafts in abundance, lingering around the youth’s nostrils.

"Hoo~"

A circle of flame energy spreads out, gently swaying the Twin Flowers Waterfall.

At the edge of the Jia Rong Grass, a light green figure turns to and fro, with a somewhat astonished expression.

Advancement?

The demon breath energy between heaven and earth is indeed dense, yet Du Yu’s advancement does not trigger any earth-shattering noise.

Nor is there a vigorous process of demonic soul expansion and frequent manifestation.

So...

Under the astonished gaze of the woman, Du Yu’s expression also turned a bit peculiar.

Three days of painstaking cultivation did not kick open the threshold of advancement on the Demon Taming path, but rather, he easily made progress in the Spirit role.

Great Spirit Master·Initial Stage!

"Heh." Du Yu found himself both amused and helpless.

As a Paper Crane Disciple, Du Yu hardly encountered any thresholds on the Demon Taming path.

To Du Yu, Demon Taming did not face the problem of moving against the current.

This small boat named "Demon Taming" always anchored steadily in the center of the lake, as long as Du Yu was willing to exert effort, the small boat would set forth.

However, the small boat named "Spirit" drifted forward with the current...

Du Yu hardly needed to exert effort, it drifted with the stream.

Heaven repeatedly informs Du Yu in reality: The Human Race, should cultivate Spirit!

Look at the speed of your progress?

See, have I ever cast down celestial punishment upon you?

But the problem is, during this special period, the Fourth Level·Great Spirit Master does not meet Du Yu’s needs at all!

Spirit cultivation? No problem!

This king cultivates as such,

But let’s discuss, can you let me become the Demon Taming Emperor first?

"Ah..." Within the Spirit Ruins Acupoint, Spirit Soul·Du Yu sat at the entrance of the Shadow Gu Tower, sighing deeply.

Yes, this is Du Yu’s newly gathered Spirit Soul.

The process was incredibly simple.

After all, Du Yu possesses a Twin Tree.

During this time, his Spirit Ruins Acupoint, Shen Cang Acupoint, and Shenfeng Acupoint have always been filled with "Little Hemp Flower" Spiritual Qi.

In fact, not only are the acupoints containing the three Ancient Spiritual Artifacts filled with Spiritual Qi, but even the entire Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is saturated with Spiritual Qi.

This is fundamentally why Du Yu strides forward on the Spirit path.

Among the world’s countless people, they share one Kunlun Divine Tree.

Whereas Du Yu uniquely enjoys a Twin Divine Tree!

The Little Hemp Flower is no "branch," it is a tree seed born of the Kunlun Divine Tree, but in essence, it is the same level of existence as the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Hence, the so-called Spirit Soul is birthed within such terrifying volumes of Spiritual Qi.

Of course, also because Du Yu had experience gathering the Demon Soul, so when newly gathering the Spirit Soul, he appeared more at ease.

Recalling the hardship during the past years refining the Demon Soul, Du Yu nearly stomped his foot and cursed.

This damn...

Spirit cultivation treats me like a first love, Demon Taming torments me a thousandfold!

"Why does the master sigh?" By the entrance of the Shadow Gu Tower stood a tall silhouette.

The black mist woman donned a black mist coat, hands resting on a black umbrella, exuding her consistent noble and mysterious aura.

"Encountered some difficulties on the cultivation path." Du Yu sat on the threshold of the tower, elbow resting on knee, hand supporting his chin.

The black mist woman: "..."

Your Spirit Soul emerged like a Celestial Treasure Race being, birthed in a "whoosh."

Is this called difficulty?

"I’m referring to Demon Taming." Du Yu said helplessly.

It is worth noting that Du Yu appears to be conversing aloud, whereas in reality, he and the tower communicate through Spirit Contract.

The black mist woman admonished: "Master should temporarily avoid merging the Spirit Soul with the Demon Soul to prevent self-harm in cultivation."

"Okay." Du Yu nodded.

Of course, the Spirit Soul and Demon Soul can coexist; at their core, they are Spiritual Qi and Demon Breath.

But given Du Yu’s current situation, dual soul integration is not feasible.

Because Du Yu’s Demon Soul is excessively robust, ahead of the Spirit Soul by nearly two major stages.

Once the souls merge, the newly emerged Spirit Soul might be incinerated by the Demon Soul...

Just like years ago, when the Shadow Gu Tower offered Du Yu the first wisp of Spiritual Qi, Little Burning Sun cautiously escorted it, afraid it might be evaporated by the passionate Demon Breath.

After advising Du Yu, the black mist woman spoke faintly: "Master Qing continually reminds the master to maintain a calm mindset, to avoid recklessness."

Du Yu felt a bit ashamed: "Mm."

Everyone understands the great principles, but truly achieving them proves challenging.

Du Yu differs from the Seven Saints of Great Xia; he is not the cold, indifferent, serene type of Demon Tamer.

He closely mirrors Cheng Feng, someone who cannot detach from worldly matters, willingly burdened by mundane affairs.

The sole difference is, Du Yu is a Paper Crane Disciple, innately gifted.

Whereas Senior Cheng Feng... mm.

The black mist woman lowered her head, gazing at Du Yu’s back: "Moreover, Master Qing never warns the master to steadfastly adhere to the Demon Taming Dao."

"Hmm?" Du Yu froze for a moment, turning around to gaze at the black mist woman.

Clearly, the Shadow Gu Tower does not wish to stand before its master with such a lofty position.

She knelt on one knee, meeting the young man’s gaze: "Perhaps Master Qing has unwavering faith in the master. Or maybe the master’s consistent performance has earned trust.

Yet, anxiety, worry, and other emotions ultimately cloud the master’s vision."

Du Yu furrowed his brow, looking at her.

The black mist woman: "Master must realize, pursuing this path is not primarily to become a Demon Taming Emperor."

Du Yu slightly opened his mouth.

Indeed! I was not pursuing Demon Taming to become an emperor!

Recently, on this Demon Taming journey, it’s like this king took the wrong path...

A sudden revelation!

Du Yu faced the woman with a solemn expression: "Thank you, Little Tower."

The black mist woman did not have precise features, only indistinct contours.

But on her face, Du Yu still saw a smile of approval.

Black Mist Woman: "Alright, master, go to the Void Axe, head to the Shenfeng Acupoint.

The Void is a purely spiritual artifact, its level is higher than mine and the Mountain and Sea Bell, and it can better nourish the master’s spirit soul."

Du Yu: "Yes, the level of the Void Axe is higher and purer."

He looked at the Black Mist Woman and continued, "But why was my spirit soul born in the Spirit Ruins Acupoint, born in front of the tower gate?"

The Black Mist Woman slightly lowered her head, showing a gentle smile, worth a thousand words.

Du Yu didn’t move, still sitting at the tower gate: "Go and refine the demon soul and demon breath for me."

The Black Mist Woman stood up: "Yes."

In theory, a spirit soul sitting at the tower gate is indeed a bit obstructive.

But the Shadow Gu Tower has long been fully repaired, its control over itself has reached the peak.

Even if there was a spirit soul blocking the tower gate, the Black Mist Woman could still properly send out the pure demon soul and demon breath, without affecting the master.

As for whether it can reach the level of the Void Axe, or go further, it depends on providence.

In this regard, the Shadow Gu Tower is quite confident.

As long as it continues to follow him, accompany him, and help him reach the pinnacle of the world... by then, it will also become a "divine artifact," gathering its own divine rank.

Spirit Soul·Du Yu fell into silence.

Meanwhile, within the Baihui Acupoint above, Demon Soul·Du Yu reached out and held the Little Golden Crow.

"Woo~" The Little Golden Crow was half-asleep and dazed, though disturbed, it wasn’t angry.

The little fellow affectionately rubbed against Du Yu’s palm, but unfortunately, Demon Soul Du Yu had no physical body.

"I didn’t set foot on this path of demon taming to become an emperor." Du Yu murmured in his heart.

"Hm?" Little Burning Sun Demon Soul popped out, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking at Du Yu in confusion.

Seeing her cute little appearance, Du Yu smiled and reached out to stroke her nose.

"Eh?" Little Burning Sun blinked her big eyes, feeling that Du Yu’s gaze was so gentle.

Although, Du Yu was always gentle with her.

But at this moment, he seemed especially...

Little Burning Sun stared blankly at Du Yu, somewhat lost.

Du Yu gazed back at her, through those beautiful orange-red eyes, he saw a story.

The beginning of the story was in a downpour of a thousand paper cranes.

The end of the story... No, the story is still continuing, it hasn’t ended.

This part of the story shouldn’t have an end either.

Chopping the Youhan Tree, retrieving the Golden Crow Body, fulfilling the desire of reincarnation... none of these are the end.

On the contrary, they should be another beginning.

Isn’t that so?!

"Woo~" Little Burning Sun suddenly buried her head, pouting, and snuggled into Du Yu’s embrace.

From start to finish, there was no substantial conversation, not even a transmission of thoughts.

But in those few seconds of mutual gaze, it was as if everything had been said.

"Buzz!!!"

And just as the Little Golden Crow snuggled into Du Yu’s embrace, under the Twin Trees, a fierce wave of demon breath surged within Du Yu’s body.

Not far from the Jia Rong Grass, Yang Qingqing’s beautiful eyes shone brightly, her face revealing a faint smile.

Finally!

At last...

Yang Qingqing took a deep breath, gazing at the sky.

Though dark clouds gathered in the sky, her heart felt like the clouds had parted, revealing the sun.

As a Paper Crane Disciple, once Du Yu’s advancement window was opened, it never closed again!

Becoming an emperor was just a matter of time!

Meanwhile, in the distant western continent, kilometers west of Gossoxone Xiangcha City.

In the fairly open hilly landscape, Cold Beasts roamed the mountains and fields, their roars shaking the heavens.

Mists of gray floated in the air?

It’s hard to imagine that this is the Twin Tree Realm!

The Human Race and Beast Race Corps covered the sky, standing high in the air, stationed within the rolling hills, holding the line outside Xiangcha City.

"Rumble!!"

The ground suddenly trembled, a Bottomless Abyss abruptly opened among the mountainous wild, without any warning.

In an instant, cold mist soared to the sky, endless Cold Branches carrying Cold Beasts pierced out of the Bottomless Abyss.

"Moo!!" Dark clouds swirled in the sky, the sound of thunder and bovine cries resounded.

A giant ox head occasionally emerged from the dark clouds, driving thousands of thunderbolts to strike, with waterfalls rushing directly to the newly opened bottomless pit.

"Roar!!"

Above Xiangcha City, the Flowing Fire Suanni flapped its wings, roaring with majesty, becoming the absolute reliance of the Human and Beast Race army.

At the lion’s nose, a graceful immortal shadow stood.

Just now, she had a look of relief.

And now, as another Bottomless Abyss opened, her expression grew solemn again.

"Master Qing! Master... Master, Master Qing!" Fu Jianzhou swiftly flew towards the Flowing Fire Suanni, shouting loudly.

"What?"

Fu Jianzhou’s face was dirty and disheveled, but his expression was exceptionally excited.

He spoke, "Heaven, Celestial Cyan Porcelain! Celestial Cyan Porcelain has responded to the Shatang Tree!"

"Oh?" Yang Qingqing looked down at the disciple below.

Fu Jianzhou nodded repeatedly, loudly saying, "As per Master Qing’s orders, the Shatang Tree has been using Purple Marsh Lake to contact Celestial Cyan Porcelain.

Just now, a tsunami surged in the northern part of the island.

The waves reached more than ten meters high, and they arose without any wind! Even spilling over half of Purple Marsh Lake’s waters!

Such an anomaly must be the Supreme Cyan Porcelain responding to us!"

Saint of Flowing Fire suddenly said: "Celestial Cyan Porcelain, the ruler of the Sea Realm."

"Hm." Yang Qingqing appeared calm.

But her fingertips, due to the force with which her fingers were pinched together, turned slightly white.

Good, very good!

Du Yu will finally become emperor, and the Supreme Cyan Porcelain will return.

Yang Qingqing’s eyes were cold, gazing at the vast area of Cold Beasts, and the Bottomless Abyss that bloomed wildly, invading the world.

Youhan,

You might have to go more mad, step over our bodies faster, in a few days...

He will be coming.
