Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

If that's the case, wouldn't this life-or-death struggle with the Heavenly Sword God just be a stepping stone for other supreme beings?

"Sigh, this really isn't a solution. What's going on? Why can't we just break through directly? Even the physical body realm doesn't have so many hurdles to overcome."

Chu Mingkong chimed in with his own complaints. He naturally understood the logic behind Feng Ying's words, but now that he was "full," there was no point in worrying about the power on the ground.

Yun Nongyu pondered for a moment and then said:

"Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to make contact with the Lord of Snow River. It would be better for her to take over these powers than for the Buddhist sect or the Heavenly Demon Clan to obtain them."

The latter two are irreconcilable enemies, with absolutely no room for reconciliation.

Chu Mingkong thought about it and realized that this was indeed the best way. The sword given to him by the Lord of Xuechuan was also indispensable in the success of taking down the Heavenly Sword God this time.

Perhaps, we can use the power of the Heavenly Sword God as leverage to make her fully absorb her master's Dao Fruit and give up the idea of ​​erasing her master's feelings.

"That's a good suggestion. We should indeed make contact with Xuechuan Divine City, but for now, let's go back and reorganize things. There's an extremely yin aura here, so we don't have to worry about any bodhisattvas or arhats stealing our food."

After the plan was almost finalized, and confirming that there was no aura of any supreme being outside, the group left directly and swaggered away.

Now that things have come to this point, Chu Mingkong no longer needs to act in secret; he can even walk freely through the teleportation arrays in the city.

Chapter 236 The Embroidered Robe Travels Through the Night

Although it was a bit of a perverse act, at this crucial juncture, Chu Mingkong actually went all the way to Yanling City—he teleported there specifically, even though he could have gone directly there, he just made a special trip.

Back then, he was hiding here, and Chu Mingkong was extremely worried when these guards were checking the teleportation points of the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace.

He himself wasn't panicked, but he was afraid that his hideout had been targeted.

But things are different now. At least in terms of sheer intimidation, Chu Mingkong should be on par with supreme beings in the eyes of these ordinary cultivators...

It might be a tiny bit lower.

Yanling City.

A flash of light appeared, and a halo emanated from the teleportation array as several people emerged from within.

At this time of year, the flow of people was bustling, and cultivators were frequently coming and going. Especially after Jianba Mountain was renamed Jiba Mountain, cultivators who were training in the wild gathered in large cities to wait for more detailed information.

Chu Mingkong's situation is not simply a matter of a supreme being being shaken; it also symbolizes the challenge that the terrestrial realm has posed to the celestial realm.

In this first battle, Chu Mingkong, who hadn't even touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm, actually beheaded the Heavenly Sword God!

"Could it be that these demons from the lower realms can really take advantage of the pressure from the supreme beings and disrupt the situation in the Heavenly Realm?"

"I really can't believe that person from the lower realm is so powerful. He used to operate secretly in Yanling City, always sneaking into the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace. The guards were always slow to notice and couldn't catch him. With that kind of strength, why is he still so cautious?"

Such discussions seem to go on from day to night.

Even the guards stationed at the portal were so engrossed in the discussions that they failed to notice the several unfamiliar visitors.

"Ding--"

The sound of spirit stones falling into the payment box rang out, followed closely by a man's voice.

"Please locate the teleportation point in the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace for me. I'm about to set off."

Chu Mingkong's words went unnoticed at first, as the guards were focused on the nearby intelligence exchanges, afraid of missing any juicy gossip.

He subconsciously waved his hand dismissively:

"You can just choose your own spot, why do I have to do all this... Hmm? The Forbidden Area of ​​the Spirit Palace?"

The guard glanced at Chu Mingkong, but didn't recognize him. He then looked again at the spiritual energy map next to the teleportation array.

The forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace has actually been opened; that spot has lit up.

How could the teleportation point in this forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace happen to open at this exact moment? It can only be said that it was opened specifically for a certain person.

The guard swallowed hard, his fingers trembling slightly as he selected a location in the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace.

"You, you are...?"

Chu Mingkong ignored him, turned around and led the women back into the teleportation portal, heading towards the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace.

After confirming that he had completely left, the guard exclaimed in surprise:

"That Immortal Slayer, the one who defeated the Heavenly Sword God, has just appeared!!"

His voice wasn't particularly loud, but it was like a ripple of magic, causing silence to spread at an astonishing speed.

In a very short time, the entire city fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally spoke up and questioned the situation.

"You guard, was what you just said true or false? What is that person doing in Yanling City out of nowhere?!"

"Really? Look, the teleportation point in the Spirit Palace Forbidden Area is still lit up!"

"Really... Didn't someone want to go in and search for treasure and opportunities...? Who's coming?"

"I think you should seize this opportunity first. You're so close to the teleportation array, even the heavens might grant it to you!"

"Get the hell out of here."

......

When Chu Mingkong returned to the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace, the lingering worries he had when he left Jiba Mountain completely dissipated.

In reality, this forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace may not provide much protection, but a sense of security can always be given by a specific place, just like a blanket when night falls, where you feel protected from all evil once you cover your head.

"No one really dares to come in here. It's quite rare to leave a portal for those curious people."

The Asura King and the others were speechless at Chu Mingkong's perverse sense of humor. He actually went to Yanling City just to scare them.

But everyone was exhausted and too tired to even complain about him anymore, so they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Seeing this, Chu Mingkong completely closed the portal and gave up on his fishing scheme.

He followed the main group into the Ling Palace.

"Mingkong, you said you want to make contact with Xuechuan Divine City, so how do we do that? Can we just teleport there?" Yun Nongyu asked as they walked.

Having ventured out for some time, everyone now knows that even within the territories of various holy land forces, only certain areas are open to the public, while a more core area is only accessible to their own people.

Chu Mingkong and his group marched straight to Jiba Mountain, without even giving the sword cultivators time to report the situation, and arrived at their doorstep.

"Contact is inevitable, but I think we can rest first. Although the process of meditation and cultivation can be considered a rest, the mental fatigue should not have been relieved much. We can try to wait for the people from Xuechuan Divine City to come and make contact."

I think someone from them definitely has to come; after all, they made a bet with the Lord of Snow River before.

It wasn't really a gamble. In that agreement, he didn't need to fulfill any prerequisites. He only needed to shout "Help!" when he was beaten black and blue.

He was rescued, which is why he needs to work for the Lord of Snow River.

Now, he did use the power of the Lord of Snow River, but not to save his own life. Instead, he used it to eliminate the Heavenly Sword God through a game of strategy.

As expected, someone from Yukikawa Shrine will have to contact this side again.

"Anyway, that Ice Orchid Saintess can easily enter the Spirit Palace's forbidden area. We can just wait for her to come over herself. Let's go rest for now."

As soon as Chu Mingkong stepped inside, Ke Qing and Wan Xiangyu came to greet him. Wan Xiangyu had obviously been dragged there by the former.

Seeing that she had already come over, the tuberose took the opportunity to ask:

"Why are the people of Xuechuan Divine City able to enter the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace so easily?"

"Because Snow River Divine City also possesses the inheritance of the Illusionary Spirit Palace, even the core inheritance. If she wanders around the forbidden area, how could the spiritual plants here harm her?"

Master's wife, no, it's the dream body of the Lord of Snow River that spans two realms, that is clearly the same thing as the Dream Guide.

Tuberose is particularly concerned about the affairs of the Spirit Palace, as can be seen from her current willingness to be close to Keqing.

Upon learning that Xuechuan Shencheng also possessed the inheritance of the Spirit Palace, she asked again:

"Then why does the Snow River Divine City possess the legacy of the Spirit Palace? What is their connection to the past of the Spirit Palace?"

"I don't know about that. The Ice Orchid Saintess is coming over next; I'll ask her for you."

Chu Mingkong walked over and, rather irresponsibly, gently stroked the delicate lips of the tuberose.

In front of Wan Xiangyu, Sister-in-law Keqing seemed to take the initiative, just like her eldest sister.

She said:

"Alright, Mingkong must be exhausted, so stop standing here asking questions and rest first! If you want to talk, lie down and be comfortable before you do."

......

Meanwhile, the three holy maidens of Xuechuan Divine City began their journey to the forbidden area of ​​the Spirit Palace.

Chapter 237 Altar

I haven't had a truly restful sleep in a long time.

When Chu Mingkong woke up, he found several soft little creatures crawling on his body.

When I opened my eyes, sure enough, there were several little babies.

As the eldest sister, the cat, along with her pets Jiao'er, Meimei, and Gugu, climbed all over him. Those that couldn't climb any further would nudge his waist with their heads, while the little white fox was also nearby.

But she didn't dare to be as arrogant as the babies; she just stood by the bed and watched.

This little white fox has now become the babies' "playmate," basically spending all her time wandering around with the little princesses, and she herself is having a great time.

"Hmm? Why are there only a few of you? Are there no adults with the baby?" Chu Mingkong asked.

"Aunt Gu brought the babies over, but seeing that they were having a good time playing by themselves, she went to visit Sister Yongzhen for the time being."

The little white fox answered on behalf of the babies.

When Chu Mingkong woke up, he felt refreshed and invigorated. He had just accomplished something great, so he was in an exceptionally good mood.

He kissed each of the babies a few times, then asked the Queen Mother of the West for a few pills to give to little Zhu Yan as candy.

"Here, this is for you. You'll have to spend more time playing with the babies from now on~"

The little white fox was hesitant to accept the pills, even after Chu Mingkong shoved the bottle into her arms; she still looked uneasy.

The intense fragrance of the elixir indicates its exceptional quality and high value.
