Chapter 356 Guidance
With her annual leave over and the ominous prophecy of impending doom appearing, Shen Yao needs to intensify her training in the "Thirteen Forms of Godslaying."
Even with her extraordinary talent, she could only slay the Blood Demon with the power of the God-Slaying Blade.
The stronger her sword intent, the less backlash she suffered and the less she had to pay.
Two more months passed, and Huo Die, who had promised to return in two months at most, did not come back.
After setting up the fire array along the border, the stone gate to the Lishui Secret Realm opened on his return journey.
Bloodworms are constantly emerging from the Lishui Secret Realm, which must mean that the Blood Demon Seal has been damaged. Huo Die needs to go and check the situation, try to reinforce the seal, and buy some time.
After explaining to his daughter, Huo Die returned to Lishui Ridge and explored the hidden gems of Lishui with Jiang Qi.
Chu Yun went along as well, and as expected, Huo Die took Chu Yun as half a disciple.
Why is he only a half-apprentice?
Because of the rules of the Realm of Heaven, a Divine Lord cannot accept cultivators from lower realms as disciples.
Although Huo Die's true form is a plane god in the tenth realm, he comes from the seventh realm.
He can only accept beings from the seventh realm as his personal disciples.
Now that I've taken Chu Yun under my wing, I can only use half of his name; we can't address each other as master and disciple.
They also cannot adopt Chu Yun as their godson because his bloodline level is not high enough.
They recognized Shen Yao as their daughter because she was originally the reincarnation of a god.
Salted fish has the bloodline of the Azure Dragon, a divine beast, so salted fish is naturally qualified.
Therefore, Huo Die could only offer Chu Yun some guidance as an elder, and could not help him too much, with many restrictions imposed on him.
But for Chu Yun, this was already an extraordinary opportunity.
Jiao Zun Hai Mu communicates with Shen Yao every five days, always starting with "Are you there?" and ending with "Let's contact each other again next time".
The communication was very official, consisting of three questions each time.
How is the goddess?
Have you had any contact with unfamiliar cultivators?
When should we go kill the Blood Demon?
Shen Yao's reply was simple: everything is fine, there has been no contact, and the cultivation technique has not yet been completed.
For two months, Hai Mu never asked where she was hiding, but the merfolk who came ashore were secretly searching for her like crazy.
Fortunately, the mermaid still has some reservations and has not yet spread the prophecy of disaster far and wide.
Their plan was to first take her portrait and search for monks who had seen the fairy in the painting, offering a high price for clues.
Tu Xiaoxiao returned to Longyuan City.
When the newly promoted Demon Lord of the Tu family returned, Longyuan City organized a grand welcome.
The city was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and people paraded through the streets scattering flowers. The citizens cheered and congratulated them, giving Tu Xiaoxiao a grand welcome.
Tu Xiaoxiao, who originally wanted to return to the city discreetly, regretted announcing her return time in advance.
He specifically instructed a few of his close brothers and sisters that they could simply meet up for a meal when they had some free time, without any welcoming ceremony.
He readily agreed when we communicated, but when he arrived, he still made such a grand spectacle.
The heads of various families and their elders, and even the Demon Lord of the Dragon Family, personally came out of the city to greet them.
Tu Xiaoxiao's temples throbbed as she saw the large troop outside the city in the distance.
The main reason is that with all this respectful hospitality, he will inevitably have to stay in Longyuan City, visiting each person in turn to return the favors and make it take him a long time to return to Chongcheng.
He wanted to go back as soon as possible to stay with his wife.
Although the Chongcheng branch sect is located deep inland, the sea monsters cannot reach it.
But things can change. My father-in-law went to the Lishui Secret Realm, and the Chongcheng True God Sect branch has no Venerable Cultivator in charge. There are likely more than two Demon Venerables on the Mermaid side.
The number and level of cultivators in the sea are far greater than those on land. If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Dao, preventing sea monsters from leaving the sea, the continent would have been occupied by sea monsters long ago.
Chongcheng is protected by a square array, so there is no natural wind.
Shen Yao lay on the rocking chair, looking at the transparent but visible top of the boundary in the air, and couldn't help but sigh: "Jiang Ming, actually I used to hate the Fangyuan Array Boundary."
"Seeing the tightly sealed barrier makes me feel restricted. Moreover, entering and leaving the city always involves being checked, which is very troublesome. Inside the barrier, there is no wind or rain, so I can't experience nature and it's very boring."
Jiang Ming lifted the jade pendant hanging outside her rocking chair: "And now?"
Several strange birds landed on the top of the boundary. The birds had long beaks and red feathers and walked back and forth on the top of the boundary.
"Now I think the Square and Circle Array is a good thing."
Having lived among the demon and monster races for many years, Shen Yao had long ago discovered the benefits of having a square array.
She teased Jiang Ming: "If Chongcheng had had a square array back then, how easy would it have been for you to sneak in and take away the stone treasure?"
Jiang Ming sensed something was off: "Is Yao Yao blaming me?"
The rocking chair swayed gently as Shen Yao smiled and said, "I was a little annoyed at first, but you took good care of Shi Bao."
She quickly changed her mind and, as always, said in a quirky tone, "You're really suited to be a stay-at-home dad."
After saying that, she imagined Jiang Ming wearing an apron, holding a baby and cooking, and then she couldn't help but laugh for no reason.
If Jiang Ming didn't know she came from outer space, he would have seriously doubted whether she was mentally ill.
But because he knew this, whenever Shen Yao uttered strange words or chuckled inexplicably, he just wanted to delve into her soul core to see what was stored in her memories.
Jiang Ming's curiosity was too great; the more time he spent with someone, the more curious he became, and the more he wanted to travel to the outer heavens.
Having rested enough, the diligent fairy continued practicing her swordsmanship.
With the guidance of sword master Jiang Banshi, Shen Yao mastered the fourth move of the God-Slaying Technique, Pushing the Blade to Pierce the Soul, in just five months.
It took another two months to master the fifth move of the God-Slaying Technique, "Splitting Mountains with a Blade," to the intermediate level.
When wielding a knife to split a mountain, the key is in the act of wielding and splitting.
This sweeping motion requires a very high degree of wrist dexterity.
When raising the blade, instantly infuse spiritual energy, using a single-handed, double-handed, or alternating left and right slashing motions to leverage momentum and maximize the destructive power of the strike.
This move is so destructive that she basically practices it in the illusion.
The illusion is quite wondrous; no matter how badly you destroy it, the training ground outside remains perfectly intact when you emerge.
It's truly fantastical.
Four and a half months had passed since Tu Xiaoxiao left.
With everything arranged in Longyuan City, he prepared to return to Longquan Cliff.
Just then, the Demon Lord of the Dragon Clan suddenly arrived, granting him access and ordering him to challenge the Dragon Clan's Trial Tower...
Tu Xiaoxiao refused.
No matter how the Demon Lord of the Renlong family tried to persuade him, he remained unmoved.
Passing the trials of the Dragon Family Trial Tower will indeed bring immense benefits, and his cultivation level will be greatly improved.
But there's also a 30% chance of dying inside.
In the past, he would have been fine to take the plunge.
But now, all he wanted was to hurry back to Jinli Residence and stay in Chongcheng to protect Shen Yao; he didn't want to take unnecessary risks at the Trial Tower.
He has no mental obstacles, so his cultivation level rises slowly; there's no rush.
Anyway, he is very strong now. With the inner core of the Wood Spirit Beast alone, his physique and recovery ability are incredibly powerful.
I wouldn't dare say he's the strongest among the demon race, but there shouldn't be any demon lord of the same level who could kill him.
Even the third grandfather of Long San in front of me is no good.
Grandpa Long San, having failed to persuade her, stroked his beard and stood up: "If Xiaoxiao is unwilling to climb the tower, then let it be. Grandpa San has not had a worthy opponent for many years. Would my dear grandson be willing to spar with Grandpa for a few moves?"
The grandfather and grandson met at the Trial Tower Square, where the two demon lords fought fiercely, turning the world upside down.
Although their moves were fancy, they were both holding back and didn't really go all out.
After a clash of spiritual energy, Grandpa Long was at a disadvantage and fell from the sky, landing at the entrance of the Trial Tower.
Tu Xiaoxiao landed right at the doorway.
Grandpa Long San laughed with satisfaction: "Hahaha, Xiao Xiao has had exceptional talent since childhood, and now that she has become a demon lord, even Grandpa Long San is no match for her."
Tu Xiaoxiao said modestly and politely, "Not at all, it's all because of my third grandfather who's being so accommodating."
Grandpa Long San walked up to him and said, "Since you are going out of the city to gain experience again, Grandpa Long San will teach you another trick."
Tu Xiaoxiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Please enlighten me, Third Grandfather."
Grandpa Long suddenly transformed on the spot, his dragon tail whipping out and striking Tu Xiaoxiao.
The trial tower doors suddenly opened, and Tu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and pulled into the trial tower...
The trial tower doors closed quickly, and Grandpa Long's voice came from inside the first floor: "The trick that Grandpa Long taught you is called, 'Old ginger is spicier.'"
"My dear grandson, you're not cunning enough."
