Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

"Aunt Yan is here! Beat him up! Beat him up!"

"Yay, revenge! Revenge!"

"Go, Aunt Yan!"

As Azure Flame Blade Demon appeared, the surrounding cries stopped abruptly, and excited cheers instantly echoed through the space.

"Good boy/girl~"

The Azure Flame Blade Demon suddenly opened its mouth.

Mu Yun was immediately stunned.

Because she wasn't speaking Elvish, but Yanhuang language!

As soon as Azure Flame Blade Demon spoke, the surrounding area fell silent instantly.

"Hello, human friend."

Azure Flame Blade Demon showed no intention of making a move. He merely glanced at Xiao Du, who looked as if facing a formidable enemy, before turning his attention to Mu Yun.

"Hello there."

Mu Yun connected his mind to the spirit space and, after confirming that he could retreat at any time, finally felt relieved.

"Don't worry, I'm not the guardian of this level. I'm here only because of my personal reasons."

Azure Flame Blade Demon seemed to sense Mu Yun's tension and vigilance, and slowly began to explain.

"Buzz~~~"

As she finished speaking, the fog wall behind her suddenly rippled.

A moment later, a black shadowy Beedrill No. 9 flew out.

But this time, because it wasn't possessed by any unknown totem, it simply floated in place without moving.

"I am a guard of His Majesty the Holy God of Fire, and the guardian of this Phantom Realm. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Yan, just like those little guys."

The Azure Flame Blade Demon's voice was very gentle. If it weren't for its terrifying face and grim appearance, Mu Yun would have thought it was his neighbor's aunt.

"Aunt Yan!"

A master-level peak expert, she truly deserves to be called "Auntie".

Not to mention aunt, at her age, she could probably be his great-grandmother.

After all, Ghost-type Pokémon have very long lifespans.

"Since you call me 'Auntie,' consider this a small gift."

Azure Flame Blade Demon smiled slightly, and a ripple rose from the wall of mist.

Immediately afterwards, a fiery red gem flew out from the ripples and slowly drifted toward Mu Yun.

..............................

【Burning Orb (Top Tier): A special amplification-type treasure. Formed under the influence of a special power, it resembles a gem. When carried by a Fire-type Pokémon, it greatly accelerates leveling speed, speeds up the learning of Fire-type moves, increases control over Fire-type energy, increases the probability and duration of burn effects, and increases the power of Fire-type moves by 49%.】

..............................

A top-tier fire-attribute treasure!!

"Thank you, Aunt Yan!"

Mu Yun's eyes lit up, and his tone became more sincere.

This aunt is quite generous; she's offering top-tier treasures right off the bat.

"It seems you're quite satisfied with this gift."

Seemingly noticing Mu Yun's happiness, Cang Yan Ren Gui said with a smile.

"If you agree to do me a favor, I can give you a few more of these treasures."

"May I ask, Aunt Yan, what kind of help is it? My abilities are meager; I'm afraid I'm willing but unable to help!"

Although Mu Yun coveted these top-tier elven treasures, he knew exactly what he could and couldn't take.

Something that can trouble a master-level peak Pokémon must be quite extraordinary.

"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with strength."

Azure Flame Blade Demon seemed to have guessed Mu Yun's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Your Beedrill is very well bred. Even by my standards, it's one in a million. It's hard to imagine that this is an ordinary Pokémon without divine blessing."

At this point, Azure Flame Blade Demon's expression seemed somewhat wistful, as if he were lost in some kind of memory.

But she quickly regained her composure and continued, "If you don't mind, could you please release the other Pokémon?"

The other one?

Namikaze?

Mu Yun nodded and then opened Namikaze's Poké Ball.

This time, the power that had imprisoned the Poké Ball completely disappeared.

Clearly, this Azure Flame Blade Demon might actually be the master of this secret realm.

Almost the instant the gust of wind appeared, the flames dancing in the Azure Flame Blade Demon's eyes became even hotter.

She said impatiently, "Come on, attack this illusion!"

"Wave, Air Blade, attack that black Beedrill!"

"Damn!"

The wind blades swept through, instantly shattering the black shadow Beedrill Nine into black mist.

"As expected, this power is very strong!"

Seeing the shattered phantom, Azure Flame Blade Demon understood.

"Child, what do you think of Ghost-type Pokémon?" Azure Flame Blade Ghost looked at Mu Yun.

"Ghost type? Elusive, agile, unpredictable, and incredibly powerful."

Mu Yun said.

Perhaps because he was reincarnated with memories of his previous life, even though he had lived in this world for another eighteen years, he still didn't feel any aversion or fear towards Ghost-type Pokémon.

On the contrary, if conditions allowed, he would love to keep one.

After all, Ghost-type Pokémon are still Pokémon, and Pokémon are simple and loyal creatures.

This applies even to Ghost-type Pokémon.

Otherwise, how could the Liu family of Changqing have become the number one ghost family in Changqing Province?

"good!"

Hearing Mu Yun's sincere tone, Cang Yan Ren Gui seemed to feel even better.

Would you mind hearing a story from me?

"I'm all ears!"

The voice of Azure Flame Blade Demon slowly rang out:

"Many, many years ago, the land was in chaos, and battle and survival were the inevitable themes for every life."

"Among them, there was once a Crimson Blade Demon who was determined to protect its clan. It was on the verge of death in a battle to defend its clan. Fortunately, this clan was a loyal follower of the Holy Fire God, and the Crimson Blade Demon was blessed by the gods at the moment of its death."

"She has been given a new lease on life!"

"She repelled the enemy, and the entire tribe survived."

"She was brave and skilled in battle, and gradually became a powerful warrior qualified to travel to the kingdom of the gods!"

"She was overjoyed, for the Kingdom of God was God's domain, the safest place in the world. There, her people would be freed from suffering and death from war, and she would be freed from endless strife."

However, this period of good fortune did not last long.

"Suddenly one day, God disappeared..."

"The flames of war have spread to the divine realm without warning..."

"The divine kingdom has collapsed..."

"But as the god's most loyal warrior, she fought valiantly, yet to no avail, and in the end, she could only hold onto the remnants of the divine kingdom..."

Azure Flame Blade Demon spoke with a sorrowful tone, the flames in his eyes seemingly about to freeze.

That overwhelming sense of sorrow filled the previously quiet space with soft, mournful sobs.

Mu Yun offered no words of comfort.

As a seasoned warrior, she may feel sadness or anger, but she will never be defeated by her emotions.

As expected, after a brief moment of sadness, Azure Flame Blade Demon quickly composed himself and continued his sermon:

"Through her efforts, and through the combined efforts of the Tanjiro clan, she successfully preserved this glorious land where the gods select their personal guards!"

"She waited and waited, waiting for the day when God would return and lead His most faithful people to restore His Kingdom!"

At this point, Azure Flame Blade Demon was speechless once again.

It's obvious that she didn't get to see it.

Otherwise, this story wouldn't exist.

As he was thinking, he heard Cangyan Rengui's voice again, this time her voice was gentle yet carried a trace of vicissitude.

"The Kingdom of God is God's domain; without God, the Kingdom of God is like a rootless duckweed..."

"So, I'm begging you for a favor!"

Azure Flame Blade Demon swung its arm, and the flames in its eyes suddenly flickered.

The next second, the solidified walls of surrounding clouds slowly dissipated.

An altar, resembling a high platform, appeared before Mu Yun.

The altar was not large, with only three tiers, round at the bottom and square at the top, with a bronze tripod-like structure in the center.

At this moment, there is a radiant ball of light at the center of the cauldron.

Flame ribbons drifted slowly across the surface of the sphere of light, accompanied by the occasional cries of phoenixes and dragons. Bathed in light, it was a truly magnificent and wondrous sight.

Beside the bronze cauldron was a brocade cushion, surrounded by large lush green leaves, and in the very center of the cushion was a bright red fairy egg.
