I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 159 The Second Stage of Dharma Appearance
"The world is undergoing a dramatic change, and we don't know how the situation will develop."

Wu Ming gazed at the northern wilderness, muttered to himself, and after a moment of contemplation, he did not leave the city but instead rushed back to the Shenxing Division to take charge, preside over the overall situation, and maintain order in the city that had fallen into chaos due to the earthquake.

Currently, he is the only person in charge of the Censorate. No matter what happens in the north, he cannot leave his post without permission. At least until he receives orders from Liu Muyuan or Yan Yuntian, the order in the city still needs to be maintained.

After returning to the Censorate,

Wu Ming made a series of arrangements, ordering all forces of the Shenxing Division to take action, maintain order in the city, and investigate some of the damage caused by the earthquake. However, the damage was not too great, mainly because Jingye City was thousands of miles away from the central area of ​​the desolate land fissure. Even though this fissure was extraordinary, the power of the earthquake was not much after it reached Jingye City.

Wu Ming worked from day to night to restore order to the city. Afterward, he returned to his residence, briefly spoke with his parents, and then went back to his room.

Swish!
Wu Ming took a deep breath, and with a thought, his primordial spirit instantly left his body and disappeared into the earth.

When outside, he was unaware of his presence, but now that his primordial spirit had left his body and entered the earth, he could immediately sense that the power of the earth veins underground was in complete chaos due to the previous earthquake. The depths of the earth, more than ten feet below, were filled with chaotic earth evil energy. If an ordinary person came here, they would probably be deformed by the influence of the earth evil energy in less than a night.

However, Wu Ming was naturally not afraid of the power of the Earthly Fiends. In fact, the activity of this Earthly Fiends power was a good opportunity for him to cultivate the Earthly Fiends Yuan Magic Form. Originally, relying on those Earthly Fiends Yuan Sand, he had already cultivated the second level of the Earthly Fiends Yuan Magic Form to a high degree. Now, under this situation, he could obviously make a breakthrough in the Earthly Fiends Yuan Magic Form in one go.

Just do it.

Wu Ming did not hesitate. He did not stop at around ten feet, but went as far as possible into the depths. At a depth of about twenty feet underground, he opened up a cave and then formed a magic seal to absorb the power of the earth's evil energy.

His Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo was still the same terrifying form that resembled an infant, but with a blue face and fangs. However, its color was much deeper than when he had just mastered the first level, and the Earthly Fiend power it contained was far greater than it had been at the beginning.

hum! !

As Wu Ming's Dharma Seal solidified, chaotic and active Earthly Fiend Power surged in from all directions, flowing endlessly like a tidal wave. This caused Wu Ming to change color for a moment, and he had to do his best to maintain the Dharma Seal so that it could barely operate.

"Such surging earthly evil energy! This is ten times stronger than before!"

"However, it is estimated that it will only take a few days. After these few days, the earth veins should stabilize, and these earth evil forces will gradually dissipate and retreat back to the deeper underground."

Wu Ming took a deep breath, cleared his mind of all distractions, and focused all his energy on absorbing the Earthly Fiend Qi.

in this way,

Late into the night of the second day, the seal formed by his primordial spirit was finally withdrawn. The earthly evil power gathered in the earthly evil embryo had become so concentrated that it was almost impossible to suppress.

Wu Ming knew that the Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo's first level of bearing Earthly Fiend power had reached its limit. Reaching this point would allow him to attempt to cultivate the second level of the Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo. Without hesitation, his primordial spirit surged, and the seal he formed changed once again. In an instant, a new seal condensed.

hum! ! !
As the new Dharma seal condensed, the almost uncontrollable Earthly Fiend Power within the Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo finally erupted with a roar, forcefully shattering the outer Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo and enveloping it within, forming an irregular shape resembling silt.

"Congeal!"

Wu Ming pointed out, and the magic seal changed again. His primordial spirit and soul power surged, forcibly suppressing the surging earthly evil power. It caused the ever-expanding mud to gradually shrink and collapse inward, finally being squeezed into a fist-sized lump. Its texture also changed from loose mud to a stone ball.

Without hesitation, Wu Ming pushed his hands forward and unleashed three magic seals in succession. These three seals instantly took shape, fell into the interior of the stone sphere, and then combined with each other, radiating a dazzling light.

creak, creak

As the seal and the stone sphere merged, a teeth-grinding sound rang out. Accompanying this sound, the stone sphere began to further distort and collapse, gradually deforming until it finally transformed into a brand-new primordial embryo with a blue face and fangs.

This new Earthly Fiend Embryo is still in the same form as before, but a black horn has grown on its forehead. Originally it had four arms, but now two more arms have squeezed out from its shoulders, turning it into a six-armed form!
Finally, after the Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo was fully formed, Wu Ming withdrew his primordial spirit power. The Earthly Fiend Primordial Embryo trembled violently, expanded slightly, and then stabilized, ceasing its violent movement. It was then instantly absorbed by Wu Ming's primordial spirit.

"It's done."

Seeing this, Wu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

The Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Form, when controlled by the Fighting Word Technique, has a first level of power comparable to the second level. Now that he has mastered the second level of this form, what will happen if he controls it with the Fighting Word Technique again?

Can it be compared to the third level?
Perhaps not. After all, the third level of the Earthly Fiend Yuan Magic Avatar can only be cultivated by those who have refined their primordial spirit five times. It is a real power of five refinements. Such a leap may not be achieved overnight. But if the Heavenly Gang Thunder Yuan Magic Avatar is also fused with it, then it is hard to say.

Perhaps in terms of power, it is still a step away from the level of the fifth level of refinement, or perhaps it can break through that threshold!

Just as Wu Ming was about to give it a try.

suddenly.

His expression shifted slightly, and his primordial spirit instantly rose, returning to the courtyard and re-entering his body. Wu Ming's physical body, sitting on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, stood up, pushed open the door, and walked to the front yard, where he greeted a figure in the main hall.

"Master Zhou, why are you here?"

But in the main hall, the person who had come to the Wu residence was none other than Zhou Huai'an, Wu Ming's former superior.

Time has passed, and Zhou Huai'an is still a patrol officer in the Shenxing Division, but Wu Ming has risen to the position of director. Although he is not in charge of the Night Patrol Division, his status and position are far above Zhou Huai'an's.

"Lord Wu."

When Zhou Huai'an saw Wu Ming, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He had indeed thought Wu Ming was a talented person, which was why he recruited Wu Ming into the Shenxing Division. But even at that time, he never imagined that Wu Ming's talent would be so outstanding. In just a few years, he had made earth-shaking changes and had even been promoted to a regional leader.

However, Zhou Huai'an didn't stand on ceremony. After a brief moment of reflection, he immediately became serious and said, "I've been sent by my superiors to deliver a message that you must leave the city immediately and go to the border stronghold."

"I see."

Wu Ming nodded and said, "There's no time to lose, I'll leave the city now."

With the situation in the north unclear and order restored in the city, and having mastered the necessary techniques, he naturally had no reason to hesitate upon receiving the order.

Now,

Wu Ming only asked Zhou Huai'an a few brief questions about the situation in the north. After learning that Zhou Huai'an was not very clear about it either, he did not linger any longer. He returned to the backyard, took out his Xuan Tie spear, tidied up briefly, and then went out.

Zhou Huai'an did not travel with Wu Ming, while Wu Ming also traveled at full speed, leaving Jingye City and heading straight for the border stronghold. Before long, the stronghold came into view. It was not much different from the past, except that there were many people inside the stronghold, and the vigorous and blazing blood energy was like a furnace. At a glance, there were no less than a hundred martial artists who had achieved the third blood coagulation gathered here.

Obviously,

The strange changes in the world caused the various patrol officers who were originally on the border to fight demons to return to the main camp and gather there.

Wu Ming arrived at Dazhai and proceeded to the central main village.

Inside the camp.

Yan Yuntian sat in the head seat, with several figures standing beside him, including Han Cheng and Yan Chuyu from the Demon Suppression Division, and Ling Zhonghan from the Cautious Punishment Division. Among them, Yan Chuyu and Ling Zhonghan had abundant blood and qi, and had both entered the fourth blood realm. Wu Ming was already aware of this, so he was not surprised to see them. He first bowed to Yan Yuntian.

"Lord Secretary."

Yan Yuntian glanced at Wu Ming and then said in a deep voice, "I won't waste any more words. The desolate region has changed, and the earth has cracked, forming dozens of natural canyons of varying depths, some of which are no less than a thousand feet deep. Under such terrain changes, many spiritual objects and strange things will be born and emerge. Now, you, Chu Yu, Zhong Han, and Manager Han will form a team and go down to explore."

"This earthquake has alarmed all directions. Not only our Jingye City's two departments and several major sects have arrived, but also Jingyu and Jinglan Cities have sent people. They are all in formation and moving in their respective groups. If you encounter them, just deal with them normally."

Speaking of which,

Yan Yuntian tossed a strange, cyan crystal to Han Cheng, saying, "This is a special talisman crafted by Daoist Ziyuan. If you encounter an insurmountable life-or-death crisis, you can crush this talisman to call for help."

"Chu Yu, Wu Ming, Zhong Han... This will be a trial for you. You will encounter monsters, evil spirits, and forces from other realms. All three of you are newcomers. I will have Steward Han lead the team. Steward Han will make the decisions in case of any problems."

After he said this, both Yan Chuyu and Ling Zhonghan glanced at Han Cheng.

Han Cheng was a senior leader of the Demon Suppression Division, with a prestigious reputation. He was also one of the strongest among the four-blood warriors. Although he had not yet achieved the unity of spirit and body, he was almost second only to the top experts. Yan Chuyu and Ling Zhonghan were both newcomers, so they naturally had no objections.

Wu Ming bowed slightly to Han Cheng, showing no objection to Yan Yuntian's arrangement. He could tell that Yan Yuntian took great care of his daughter, not only arranging for Han Cheng, a veteran expert, to lead the team, but also placing him, a master of Daoist arts, in the group.

Yan Yuntian may not know his strength, but having a Taoist master in the team is always much stronger than a team of pure martial artists. After all, Taoist masters, regardless of anything else, have a level of detection ability that is unmatched by martial artists.

Compared to these, it was some information revealed in Yan Yuntian's words that made Wu Ming thoughtful.

It seems that this earthquake has indeed had a significant impact. Even Jingyu and Jinglan, two cities adjacent to Jingye City, have sent some people to explore it. Although the earthquake only covers a range of two or three hundred miles, most of its area is in the real wilderness, and it is almost foreseeable that the demon race will also get involved.

In addition,

The depths of the underground are the most likely place for evil spirits to breed. It is said that the source of evil spirits is located ten thousand feet underground, which is called the Underground Demon Abyss. However, Wu Ming only saw it once in the files of the Cautious Punishment Division and had no other information, so he did not know whether it was true or not.
