I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

After killing the five demon lords, Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his back on the mountaintop, gazing towards the desolate region.

After waiting quietly for a while, and seeing no unusual activity from the direction of the desolate region, he finally turned around slowly and stepped away.

The mastermind behind the great battle that attacked Yong Kingdom seemed to be the five demon lords. After the five demon lords perished, Wu Ming continued his journey, patrolling along the border of Yong Kingdom. At each battlefield, he would kill a large number of demons and capture several demon emperors. After traversing the entire border, he had already captured more than twenty demon emperors!
Such commotion finally alerted a demon saint from the demon race, who cast his gaze from afar in the depths of the desolate region.

Wu Ming showed no fear, only his eyes flickered as he met Wu Ming's gaze across the distance.

After a long time,
The aura of the demon saint quietly dissipated; he neither appeared nor entered the territory of Yong Kingdom.

This made Wu Ming slightly regretful. Now he had enough confidence to protect himself when facing the existence of a Demon Saint. He wanted to compete with a Demon Saint to test his strength. However, as far as he knew, there was an agreement between the Great Jin Holy Land and the Northern Wilderness Demon Clan that Demon Saints could not enter the human realm, while Dao Saints and Martial Saints could not enter the Wilderness.

After all, once one reaches the level of becoming a saint, every move they make carries the power to move mountains and fill seas. They can cause enormous destruction with a casual action, and even the aftershocks can kill millions of lives. Therefore, neither the demon saints of the demon race nor the Dao saints and martial saints of the human race are willing to start a holy war in the Northern Wilderness.

Battlegrounds for those who are called saints are often located in large shattered realms, where there are many ancient ruins, abundant resources, and a stable enough world to allow them to attack each other without restraint.

As for immortal beings, they are basically legends in the world. They rarely appear in the world and spend most of their time traveling and exploring in the depths of the void. The great battles that break out usually take place in the deep void and have little impact on the present world.

Swish.

Without attracting the attention of the Demon Saint, Wu Ming completely suppressed the demonic calamity that had affected the Yong Kingdom. He then went to a city and handed over all the more than twenty demon emperors he had suppressed to the King of Yong Kingdom.

He had cultivated in Yong Kingdom in his early years and used many of Yong Kingdom's resources in the Hidden Dragon Academy. His spot in the Hundred Kingdoms Prodigy Battle also came from Yong Kingdom. This can be considered his way of returning the favor to Yong Kingdom. Even if a seventh-transformation demon emperor-level being is killed directly, his whole body is full of treasures and is quite valuable, not to mention the more than twenty that were captured alive.

Whether it's suppressing them in the Demon-Locking Tower and extracting their blood day and night as spiritual materials, or trading with the demon race to exchange for some more precious rare items, it's all a huge resource for the Yong Kingdom.

“Junior Brother Wu, if it weren’t for your help, I don’t know how many more people in Yong Kingdom would have died or been injured. On behalf of the millions of people in Yong Kingdom, I thank you.”

In the city, the King of Yong was visibly excited. He personally descended the steps and bowed to Wu Ming.

As a monarch, it is naturally impossible for him to bow to anyone easily, even someone who has made unparalleled contributions to the Yong Kingdom. However, Wu Ming is now a Grandmaster of the Eight Refinements and Eight Bloods, capable of expanding the borders and establishing a kingdom on his own. He is already a figure who stands shoulder to shoulder with the founding monarchs of many small countries. Therefore, the Yong Kingdom monarch's bow was naturally performed with great openness.

Back when Wu Ming returned to Jingye City last time, he knew that Wu Ming had completely surpassed him, and it was only a matter of time. However, when that day really came, and Wu Ming simply made a move to sweep away the border demons and resolve a major battle, he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration. He was truly a genius like a dragon. Although he came from Yong Kingdom, he only made a fleeting glimpse of him before disappearing without a trace.

"Senior brother, there's no need for that."

Wu Ming didn't let the other party keep up the bow. He took the initiative to help him up and said, "Yongguo is my birthplace. I once accumulated knowledge and enlightenment here. Now that I am in danger and need help, I will do my duty without hesitation."

The two walked into the hall and had a brief conversation before Wu Ming took his leave.

But at that moment, the King of Yong sent something to Wu Ming.

It was a bluish-green jade bead.

Just as Wu Ming was slightly taken aback and was about to ask about its origin, the King of Yong Kingdom immediately explained, "This was left by Grandmaster Liu, who told me to give it to you after you have reached the eighth level of refinement."

What Liu Muyuan left behind?
Or was it something given to the King of Yong after he voluntarily revealed his true cultivation level?

"Thank you for your trouble."

Wu Ming was slightly taken aback, but without much thought, he immediately accepted the gift and thanked the King of Yong.

Liu Muyuan was his former master. Although he seemed mysterious and unpredictable in the past, and his strength was more than just a grandmaster, he was very likely a great grandmaster. But now, when he faces anything related to Liu Muyuan, he is much more indifferent.

Whatever secrets Liu Muyuan may have, he can now face them with composure.

soon.

After leaving Yong Kingdom.

After a brief examination of the cyan jade bead, Wu Ming deciphered its secret and learned a message left to him by Liu Muyuan. After a moment of silence, he shook his head.

"If that's the case, it's not surprising."

Liu Muyuan was indeed a grandmaster of Daoist arts who had reached the eighth level of Yuan Shen refinement. The identity of 'Liu Muyuan' was the body he had reincarnated and possessed. He had only been cultivating martial arts step by step, and had always tried his best to hide his Daoist powers.

There are two reasons. First, Liu Muyuan had failed to break through to the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit Refinement, suffering a backlash and severe injuries. He had no chance to attempt the refinement again, and the injury to his Primordial Spirit was incurable, even worsening over time. After barely managing to possess another body and reincarnate, Liu Muyuan could no longer use the power of Daoist techniques; each use only exacerbated his injuries. Second, Liu Muyuan's failure to break through to the ninth level was not due to a lack of ability. If it were merely a matter of insufficient ability, his Primordial Spirit wouldn't have been almost shattered beyond repair. He was ambushed and attacked.

All of these secrets were clearly explained by Liu Muyuan.

He was a Daoist prodigy from the Great Yu Dynasty, who looked down on his peers all the way until he reached the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Refinement. While exploring a secret realm of shattered worlds, he accidentally obtained a supreme treasure, which made him ecstatic.

After all, even the Nine Refinement Dao Saints find it difficult to possess a supreme treasure. Even immortal beings would fight for a supreme treasure. For him to obtain a supreme treasure is a tremendous opportunity.

This treasure is not only powerful, but also contains a secret technique passed down through generations, which has almost completely opened up his path of nine refinements.

but.

One hundred dense and one sparse.

The methods of Taoist magic are varied and diverse. He failed to guard against a fellow disciple from the same sect in Dayu who used a side sect Taoist magic to detect the process by which he obtained the treasure.

His fellow disciple suddenly attacked him while he was in seclusion attempting to break through to the ninth level of cultivation. Not only did the disciple steal his most precious treasure, but the disciple also severely injured him, shattering his primordial spirit. If he hadn't also possessed an extremely valuable life-saving item, he would have perished on the spot.

The life-saving item was a 'teleportation token' he obtained from a secret realm, which could instantly cross realms. He used this token to cross from the realm of the Great Yu to the Northern Wilderness of the Great Jin, appearing in the territory of the Yong Kingdom. Then, he drifted with difficulty to the capital, found a family, and possessed their body to be reincarnated.

Since then,

He spent decades stabilizing his injuries and intended to return to the Great Yu, but he learned that his fellow disciple who attacked him was not only not punished by the Great Yu Holy Land, but was instead protected. In the blink of an eye, decades had passed, and he had even successfully broken through the Ninth Refinement and become a Dao Saint!
He himself was already a candle flickering in the wind, with no hope of his primordial spirit recovering, while his opponent was at the height of his power, becoming a Dao Saint and possessing a supreme treasure... Liu Muyuan was immediately disheartened and did not return to Dayu, but instead stayed in Dajin, wasting his days.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ming appeared in Jingye City, a border region.

What started as an experimental training program turned out to be an unprecedented display of Wu Ming’s exceptional talent. Even in the most sacred cultivation grounds of the Great Yu Dynasty, he would be considered a genius, and his talent only grew stronger as he cultivated.

In this situation, Liu Muyuan immediately devoted himself to cultivating Wu Ming. Although he knew that Wu Ming also had some secrets, he did not delve into them. After all, Wu Ming rose to prominence in Jingye City. No matter how big his secrets were, at most he might have accidentally obtained the inheritance of a Daoist master. Liu Muyuan, on the other hand, had experienced the ups and downs of acquiring a treasure and then having it stolen. Naturally, he had no interest in exploring Wu Ming's secrets.

After nurturing Wu Ming's rise to power, he lacked resources and found it difficult to help Wu Ming find resources. Therefore, he could only give Wu Ming his inheritance and the last of his treasures and send Wu Ming to the Hidden Dragon Academy to cultivate.

Wu Ming did not disappoint him. After entering the Hidden Dragon Academy, he rose all the way up, becoming the number one in the Hidden Dragon Academy. Finally, he stood out in the Battle of the Hundred Kingdoms' Prodigies, entered the Great Jin Cultivation Holy Land, and knocked on the door to becoming a Grandmaster.

After informing Wu Ming of all this information,

Liu Muyuan also explained his destination at the end. His life was like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished. He had returned to Dayu and wanted to use the information from that treasure in his last moments to see if he could cause some disaster for his enemy, which could be considered his final revenge.

However, Wu Ming thought this was probably very difficult. If Liu Muyuan's enemy was only an Eighth Refinement Grandmaster, then the news that he possessed a treasure could indeed cause him great disaster.

If one can break through the Nine Refinements and become a Dao Saint, then the situation will be different.

Dao Saints are indeed not qualified to possess a supreme treasure, but once they become Dao Saints, they can more or less come into contact with some immortal beings. Some Dao Saints are even disciples of immortal beings, such as the Qingming Peak Master who has an immortal master.

In this situation, possessing information about a priceless treasure is unlikely to cause any disaster; at most, it will only cause some trouble.

"The Dao Saint of Youling..."

Wu Ming murmured a Taoist name.

Although Liu Muyuan's message did not contain any instructions or tell him what to do, Wu Ming knew very well that Liu Muyuan's only request was to avenge his great enemy.

However, in Liu Muyuan's view, when this information fell into his hands, he had only reached the eighth level of refinement, and was still a long way from the ninth level. He only hoped that Wu Ming could help him kill Youling Daosheng when he reached the ninth level in the future, so that he could die peacefully.

Snapped.

With a slight exertion of his fingertips, Wu Ming caused the cyan jade bead containing the information to shatter and dissipate into dust.

He recalled the many pointers and gifts Liu Muyuan had given him.

"He is not only your enemy, Master, but also my enemy. I will send him to the Yellow Springs on the path to immortality." (End of Chapter)
