From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

The treasure has already been obtained; there's no question of returning it.

and.

The Qilin Sky-Treading Boots are one of the treasures in the Qilin Immortal Mansion. The Taixu Mirror chose to take them out not only because of their ability to ignore all restrictions in the world, but also because of the information that the artifact spirit might bring.

The ancient imperial era.

At its peak, the Qilin clan was known as having three hundred ancient emperors, a power comparable to the number of true immortals in the entire universe today, so they were naturally familiar with each other.

The Heavenly Fortune Ancient Emperor was able to obtain an extremely high status in this group, and the Taixu Mirror also held a top position among these immortals.

That's why there's the saying about taming the spirit of the battle boots.

Now that Wang Yu had persuaded her again, the Immortal Spirit of the Void Mirror had no choice but to try to transfer a trace of her own essence to him, using the familiar aura of the other party to carry out a gentle awakening process.

as predicted.

In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, a soft hum, as if waking from a dream, came out. The auspicious cloud pattern on the combat boots lit up, and wisps of white smoke seeped out, condensing in mid-air into the shape of a little girl of five or six years old.

Her hair was styled in double buns, with a pair of small unicorn horns on her forehead. Her gorgeous and elaborate dress, along with her ethereal and misty fairy-like sash, made her look like a fairy.

This is the celestial spirit within the Qilin Sky-Treading Boots.

As soon as she opened her big, watery eyes, she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Taixu, when did you get back?"

Wang Yu watched with a look of astonishment.

It's a bit awkward for a little girl to call an old man "brother," but they are immortals, the spirits of immortal artifacts, and their ages cannot be judged by their appearance. They are all old monsters!
Taixu Mirror's face was full of complicated emotions: "Yun'er, times have changed. What exactly happened in that era? Why would Tianyun entrust such an important backup plan as the Qilin Immortal Mansion to the Dragon Clan?"

"This... I don't know either."

Xianling Yun'er scratched her head: "How could we possibly know about Lord Tianyun's plans?"

Taixu Mirror said unwillingly, "You are different from me. As a combat boot, your abilities have a great advantage in battle. Surely you haven't been on the battlefield? At least tell me who the enemy is!"

"The enemy, this..."

Xianling Yun'er frowned in thought, then looked at Wang Yu beside her, and finally shook her head and said, "I can't say. It involves the secrets of the Heavenly Dao. If I speak recklessly, it will most likely cause the great calamity of this era to descend ahead of schedule."

"In the end, it will be a bloody war that will affect the entire cultivation world. Just prepare accordingly. Whether you know it or not, it doesn't really matter."

"never mind……"

Taixu Mirror let out a long sigh.

"You should know the current situation of the Qilin Immortal Mansion, shouldn't you?"

Fairy Spirit Cloud turned her head away shyly.

He muttered to himself.

"She was awakened by Brother Taixu. She was asleep in the immortal mansion the whole time, how would I know what was going on inside?"

Taixu Mirror: "..."

He just wants some peace and quiet right now.

Wang Yu was barely able to hold back his laughter, so he quickly coughed to signal Taixu Mirror to get down to business.

"--well!"

finally.

The fairy spirit Yun'er, who possessed the Qilin Sky-Treading Boots, was persuaded. Although she was very unhappy about being stepped on by a strange man like Wang Yu, she couldn't refuse since it was the request of the Taixu Mirror.

However, she strictly forbade Wang Yu from refining her, and when the Taixu Mirror left in the future, she would also leave with it and would not stay by Wang Yu's side to serve him.

Wang Yu didn't care about this; since he was getting it for free, it was good enough that he could use it for a while.

The spirits of immortal artifacts are more intelligent than many cultivators, and their way of thinking is qualitatively different from that of artifact spirits. They also have self-respect and preferences.

The spirit of the combat boots doesn't like being stepped on.

That makes perfect sense.

However, the fact that he kept encountering these kinds of artifact spirits made Wang Yu question whether artifacts really needed to have spirits. He found that ancient treasures and secret treasures were much easier to use.

Treasures with spirits bring an extra layer of communication trouble, especially if they weren't crafted by the owner. Completely controlling the Ruyi is even more difficult and can be quite a headache.

After dealing with this little incident, I tossed the two items into my inner sanctum and let them chatter away.

Wang Yu refocused his attention on his goal.

The Cloud City of Yinglong Realm is a well-known place in the Ancient Demon Immortal Domain. It has a large number of powerful individuals and is the place with the best information network in the inner circle of the Ancient Demon Domain.

To make up for the incompleteness of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline, we must first find out what kind of dragon species those missing bloodlines are, since all dragon blood in the world originates from the Ancestral Dragon.

In theory, gathering all the blood of the true dragons would allow one to reverse the ancestral dragon bloodline. However, it is easier said than done. If the Myriad Forms Immortal Demon Body had not recognized the incomplete ancestral dragon bloodline, it would have been impossible.

Wang Yu wouldn't use such a method.

Unfortunately, his understanding of the dragon race was very limited, and he had no way of analyzing the bloodline of the ancestral dragon. He could only witness the real dragon with his own eyes and then use the secret method derived from the Devouring Dao Fruit to test whether his own bloodline showed any signs of desire.

Using this clumsy method to determine whether or not to devour the dragon species is a last resort.

After all, the Ancestral Dragon bloodline is undoubtedly among the top-tier immortal-grade bloodlines, even stronger than the Chaos Beast bloodline, so spending more time on it is worthwhile.

In any case, Wang Yu never relied on seclusion for cultivation.

He can just wander around; he'll still break through eventually. Keep the Dao Fruit storage area active and try to accumulate as many top-tier Dao Fruits of the Nine Mysteries as possible.

That day.

Wang Yu, who was going to the "Dragon Immortal Pavilion" in Cloud City as usual to collect information from all walks of life in the Ancient Demon Realm, finally found the opportunity he had been longing for.

Inside a private room on the seventh floor of the restaurant.

Several demons who had reached the Dao Integration stage were discussing matters related to the "Heavenly Dragon Assembly".

This grand event has a long history.

Organized by the Dragon Court, this event was specifically designed to select exceptionally talented individuals who were "outside the court," and those who ranked highly would naturally receive the Dragon Court's attention.

They might be taken as disciples or recruited into various departments of the Dragon Court.

The Tianlong Tournament has three tracks.

One track is for normal demon races, another is for dragon species or dragon-blooded demon beasts, and the third track is a competition of cultivation skills, all of which can be participated in.

It is worth mentioning that.

Many true dragon disciples from the Dragon Court will also participate in this Heavenly Dragon Assembly, supposedly to select those who will participate in the [All Laws Origin and Flow Assembly].

This grand event for all races is truly not far off.

The Demon Realm has already begun preparations. It is likely that various races in the Cosmic Sea will be holding selection competitions within their clans soon. Being able to represent one's own race in the competition is a great honor.

Moreover, it involves various secrets and historical events.

Those true immortal powerhouses will also personally intervene, which shows a higher level of importance than before, and will also inspire the fighting spirit of young prodigies.

What Wang Yu valued was the opportunity to screen dragon species on a large scale. Without having to participate in the competition, he could basically determine the type of dragon blood he lacked by simply watching the entire process.

They even went so far as to secretly mark those participating prodigies and hunt them down one by one afterward to complete the ancestral dragon's bloodline!
Make sure you have something in mind.

After Wang Yuwan disguised himself, he went to inquire about the qualifications to attend the "Tianlong Conference" and found that the simplest requirement was an invitation.

This conference is not a child's play, much less a monkey show.

Ordinary cultivators don't even have the qualifications to enter the sect; they must have a sufficiently prestigious status. For example, the city lord of Cloud City would receive three invitation letters from the Dragon Court.

Even watching battles requires cultivation level. For high-level cultivators, fighting within the realm is too inconvenient, and the damage caused is very troublesome to repair afterwards.

Therefore, these kinds of competitions are usually held in the void of the cosmic sea.

Conventional formations and restrictions are insufficient to protect everyone.

Therefore, having the cultivation level to avoid being killed by the aftershocks is one of the hidden requirements for spectators.

Given the vastness of the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm, even if only cultivators like the Cloud City Lord were invited, there would still be at least several million viewers.

Besides.

Participants can bring some relatives and friends, with a maximum of two to three spots. Wang Yu can forget about getting an invitation, but he can try to find spots for his relatives and friends.

The long-sealed identity of Ice Phoenix can now be revealed.

After a moment's thought.

He quickly came up with a plan. Although most of the Phoenix Clan were currently living in the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm and ignoring worldly affairs, there were also (pseudo) Phoenix Clan members in the Ancient Demon Realm.

The most powerful of them is called the Phoenix God Palace. Its master, Phoenix God, is a True Immortal who also cultivates the divine path. Under his command is Nine Phoenix Immortal, who has just broken through to the first stage of True Immortal at the beginning of the era.

This level of strength is far inferior to that of the Dragon Court.

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin were once top-tier true spirit races of equal renown, and their decline to this extent is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Out of respect for their respective ancestral spirits, the Phoenix Palace and the Dragon Court nominally have a cooperative relationship, but in reality, they are subordinate to each other. The Phoenix Palace has practically become a training camp for the harem of the Dragon Court's powerful figures.

Every famous dragon prodigy would choose a phoenix woman to be the head of their harem, and she could be called either the Dragon Queen or the Phoenix Queen.

Given this situation.

Wang Yu was certain that there were proud and ambitious members of the Phoenix Clan among them, so this "Heavenly Dragon Assembly" would be an excellent platform for them.

If he could offer some guidance...

It's not difficult to get a spot to watch the game.

In short, he's about to start showing off!

And so.

A new story begins.

…………

…………

"Young Master, are we really going to Yinglong Realm? If the Palace Master finds out, he will definitely imprison you. In the future, you won't be able to travel, let alone leave Fengshen Palace."

The speaker was a close maid with red lips and white teeth, and her hair was styled in a drooping bun. Judging from her aura, she should be a peacock, one of the true lineages of the ancient phoenix clan.

However, in this day and age, this bloodline is not recognized much anymore. In the legend of the phoenix raising nine chicks, the peacock has a place among them.

The one he addressed as "Young Master" was the direct descendant of the Phoenix God Palace, "Princess Tianxiang," whose true form was a pure fire phoenix with top-grade true spirit bloodline and exceptional talent.

He was only eight thousand years old when he reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation.

Such prodigies may also have a chance to become immortals in the future, but this path is like a thousand troops squeezing onto a single-plank bridge. Without foundation and opportunity, the only outcome of forcibly passing the tribulation of immortality is death.

therefore.

Most of those true immortal seeds who are not from the pinnacle of their races are a joke; in history, there are no more than twenty who have succeeded.

A power like Phoenix Palace naturally couldn't provide Princess Tianxiang with a rare and precious item like "True Dragon Jade," which could weaken the tribulation of ascension to immortality.

Therefore, he was noticed by the True Dragon Dao Child of the Dragon Court.

Without any hesitation, the Phoenix God Palace Master cut off her hopes of cultivation, severing all access to resources and inheritances, and making her obediently become the harem mistress of a future dragon immortal.

She is not reconciled!

Therefore.

Upon hearing that an ancient secret realm had appeared in the Yinglong Realm, and that a powerful Phoenix Clan cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage was living in seclusion there, she couldn't wait to come.

This trip was motivated by the desire to seek help from this elder member of the same clan.

Some even hoped to become the other's disciple and be taught to escape their fate, but even the Phoenix God Palace Master, a true immortal, was willing to bow down to the Dragon Court.

What can this fellow clansman, who is at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, do?

Princess Tianxiang knew perfectly well what was going on; she was just instinctively trying to seize any opportunity, like a drowning person grasping at a straw—how could she be willing to let go?

What chilled her to the bone even more was that the restriction placed on her body by the Phoenix God Palace Master prevented her from even leaving the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm to join her clan in the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm.

"Further words are useless. If Cai'er is unwilling, then go back to that cage..."

The personal maid was speechless.

At the same time.

Wang Yu, disguised as "Feng Jiuge," sat comfortably in the secret realm he had temporarily created using the Qiankun Dao Fruit, waiting for his prey to come to him.

Furthermore, they used the Immortal Palace Token to investigate the secrets of the Ancient Demon Immortal Realm.

He vaguely remembered that the only pure Phoenix Clan force left was the one in the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm, which was why they were so united. This was inconsistent with the information he had gathered about the Phoenix God Palace in Cloud City.

Only then did he produce the Celestial Palace Token to confirm.

With his authority, he had the right to know almost all the secrets that the Vast Immortal Palace had discovered, except for top secrets.

Upon looking at it, I was immediately surprised.

The Phoenix God Palace Master ascended to immortality a long time ago, and is most likely a third-step True Immortal. Her true form is confirmed to be a Phoenix, but she is most likely a peacock who is gradually no longer regarded as orthodox.

No wonder they weren't accepted by the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm.

It's worth noting that they even recognize the "Golden-Winged Roc," which doesn't resemble a phoenix in appearance, but they don't recognize the peacock. This is most likely because there are too many peacocks, and most of them are weak and frail, their true spiritual bloodline not living up to their name.

That Nine Phoenix Fairy's background is even more bizarre.

It was a nine-headed phoenix!

You should know that nine-headed hydras and nine-headed insects are very rare in this world, let alone nine-headed phoenixes. These kinds of strange creatures cannot be seen unless they eat each other. Similarly, there is also a nine-headed dragon!

In other words, this Nine-Phoenix Immortal achieved immortality by eating his own kind. In this light, the Phoenix God Palace is a demonic den, no wonder it is not recognized by the Wutong Divine Tree of the Heavenly Fortune Immortal Realm.

The intelligence gathered by the Vast Immortal Palace has been accumulated over countless years. Although it has not been made public, it is by no means useless.

It's clearly meant to be used in critical moments.

Now that Wang Yu had learned of this, he was even more confident about his next plan.

It took less than a month.

The "Bamboo Sea Secret Realm" that Wang Yu created was filled with the sounds of nature every day. After he had dismissed the cultivators from the Yinglong Realm who came seeking opportunities, his reputation gradually spread.

Everyone knows that this secret place is where they live in seclusion and cultivate themselves.

There was no special opportunity, so the world changed very quickly, from bustling with activity when it first appeared to now being completely silent.

All of this continued until a specific being came to visit.

That day.

"I am Tianxiang from the Phoenix Divine Palace. I have come to pay my respects after hearing about your story. I hope you will grant me an audience out of respect for our shared kinship."

Mr. Wang, who was playing the zither to pass the time, suddenly had a bright idea.

The fish has taken the bait. (End of Chapter)
