"Senior Brother Qingque, am I progressing too fast in my cultivation? The books say it usually takes thousands or even millions of years for ordinary people to reach the Nirvana Realm!" Yaohua tilted her head and looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes full of doubt.
Qingque said with a smile, "It's because our Yaohua is extremely talented, so that's why your progress is so fast. Hurry up and sit in meditation to cultivate. You'll soon be able to break through."
Yaohua nodded and sat cross - legged in the valley rich in spiritual qi. The spiritual qi flowed smoothly into her body, and she broke through the realm.
A huge phantom of a fire phoenix emerged from behind her body and flew towards the clouds.
In the Cangling Hall of the Celestial Realm.
Chongming, who was in seclusion, shuddered all over. "Yaohua, is that you?"
He immediately pushed open the hall door and walked towards the direction where the aura came from.
At the same time, Qingque showed a nervous look and quickly cast a spell to disperse the huge fire phoenix.
Yaohua asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, don't you like the vision I transformed?"
"No." Qingque's eyes flickered, and he came up with a perfect excuse. "It's just that Master has many enemies outside the valley. If your vision attracts others' attention, it will also draw those enemies here."
"So that's how it is!" Yaohua suddenly realized. "I originally wanted to go out and have a look after the breakthrough. Now it seems better to go out less."
Qingque showed a gentle smile. "Our Qingque Clan has a technique of shape - shifting. I can teach it to you. By then, after changing your appearance, no one will recognize you, and you don't have to worry about enemies seeking revenge."
"Senior Brother, you're so amazing." Yaohua said admiringly.
Outside the valley, by the time Chongming arrived, the vision had completely disappeared.
Just as he was looking around, he saw a familiar figure.
It was Zhao Wu.
When the latter saw him, hatred immediately flashed in his eyes. "You still have the nerve to come?"
When enemies meet, their hatred burns.
Zhao Wu resented him for killing Yaohua so easily and directly cast a spell to attack him.
Chongming was not to be outdone. His cultivation was naturally higher than Zhao Wu's, so within less than ten moves, Zhao Wu was defeated.
He placed his sword across Zhao Wu's neck and then silently withdrew it. "For Yaohua's sake, I won't kill you."
"Spit! You're not even worthy of mentioning her name!" Zhao Wu said fiercely. "Sooner or later, I'll make you pay with your life."
"Don't you notice that the contract mark on your body is still there?" Chongming asked calmly.
Zhao Wu was stunned. "After her body died, the contract mark should have been completely erased... Wait, you seem so certain. Have you found out that she's still alive?"
He immediately reacted. "I knew it! Why else would her aura suddenly appear here... Tell me quickly, where is she? Did you hide her?"
Chongming thought for a while. "On the jade hairpin Yaohua gave me that day, there was a wisp of her divine soul left. Moreover, she had reached the Nirvana Realm of the Phoenix Clan, so there was a chance for her to be reborn. So..."
He briefly told the whole story.
"So you don't know where she is now either?" Zhao Wu's face darkened again. "She might have been stolen by someone during the rebirth. It's all your negligence."
Bitterness flashed in Chongming's eyes. "Anyway, we should cooperate to find her now instead of killing each other."
Although Zhao Wu was reluctant, he agreed.
Suddenly, a paper crane flew from the horizon, carrying a message from the God - Lord.
Zhao Wu leaned over and took a look, his face full of disdain. "Zhaoyue's subordinates keep harassing the Celestial Realm and the remaining clans from time to time? And you still need to step in? The God - Lord is in charge of the power now. Can't he even handle such a thing? I advise you to just seize his position and then announce it to the Three Realms and let everyone work together to find Yaohua!"
Chongming shook his head. He couldn't do such a thing.
After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Rong Chu and Lu Ran, asking them to assist the God - Lord in dealing with this matter.
"Senior Brother, I seem to hear voices outside." Yaohua said curiously. "Who are they? Are the enemies coming?"
Qingque nervously looked at the water mirror in front of him and casually replied, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. I've set up a secret formation outside. Even if the enemies come, they won't be able to find this place."
Sure enough, Chongming and the others didn't notice anything unusual and decided to look for Yaohua in other places.
Yaohua urged, "Then, Senior Brother, come and teach me the shape - shifting technique quickly. I want to go out and play!"
Qingque thought for a while and said, "The east of the valley is the territory of the Wolf Clan. You need to be extremely careful. They are naturally cruel, and now the Heavenly Demons keep harassing them. After being infected by the demonic qi, their tempers become even more irritable. Maybe I'd better teach you this technique next time."
Yaohua shook her head like a rattle. "No, no. I just want to learn. I won't go out after I learn it. How about that?"
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and seven days had gone by.
On the night of the full moon, the wolves showed their original forms one by one, howled at the moon, and absorbed the power of the moon.
At this time, two figures appeared.
Rong Chu came in front of the Wolf Clan leader and said seriously, "An official from the Cangling Hall is here to deliver a message. The Demon Clan will come here today. They may be up to no good against the Wolf Clan. Please make preparations in advance."
While the Wolf Clan leader was still skeptical, a vicious voice suddenly sounded. "Kill!"
The deputy leader stretched out his sharp claws and grabbed at him, grinning evilly. "Give me your life!"
At the same time, the Heavenly Demons appeared one after another, and the demonic qi filled the air.
In the chaos of the battle between the two clans, Lu Ran was struggling to kill the enemies when he suddenly ran into a tall Heavenly Demon figure.
The Heavenly Demon was gnawing on a wolf's arm and attacked him sinisterly.
He was beaten back step by step. The Heavenly Demon swallowed the last bite of flesh, and its aura soared. It then launched a violent demonic qi bomb at him.
"Ah!" He was sent flying and let out a scream.
The Heavenly Demon let out a strange laugh. "The flesh of an immortal must taste even better~"
Lu Ran was in great distress. The Heavenly Demon was too strong. Several of his bones had been broken, and he couldn't move at all. Was he going to die here today?
Just as the stinky saliva of the Heavenly Demon was about to drip on his face, a flame burned the demon.
A young girl in green clothes appeared in front of the Heavenly Demon, her eyes bright and cunning. "Haha, I didn't expect the people outside and the Heavenly Demons to be so weak."
Then, she released flames and burned the Heavenly Demon to ashes.
Lu Ran's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude. "Little Princess, so you're not dead!"
"What little princess?" Yaohua turned around and tilted her head to look at him. "You've got the wrong person. I've never been a princess."
At this time, a system voice slowly sounded in her mind. "Beep, the system has been successfully rebooted."
"What's that voice?" she asked suspiciously.
Lu Ran shook his head. "Little Princess, don't be joking. Everyone will be very happy if they see you back. By the way, where did you go when you left?"
