Chapter 206: An Unexpected Conclusion, Dominating the Celestial Blue World!
Chapter 206: An Unexpected Conclusion, Dominating the Celestial Blue World! (Happy New Year)
Deep within the Black Mist Mountains, Qu Zhuang and Liao An were tense and anxious. Their only hope now lay in Lin Yuan's fear of the Celestial Blue Alliance, hoping that he would spare them out of concern for provoking the alliance.
However, Lin Yuan merely glanced at them before releasing the Demon Tree Seeds to begin the parasitism process.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An, as elders of the Celestial Blue Alliance and sixth-stage cultivators, barely met Lin Yuan's criteria for 'parasitism'. Moreover, their status as high-ranking members of the alliance made them even more suitable candidates.
Buzz!
Two dull gray seeds descended.
The Demon Tree Seeds, enhanced by Lin Yuan over the years, now had a deeper hue and emanated an indistinct soul power.
"Not good!"
"He's planning to parasite us!"
The thin and elderly Qu Zhuang immediately realized Lin Yuan's intentions. As an elder of the Celestial Blue Alliance who had fought in the Foreign Demon Battlefield for many years, he was familiar with the tactics commonly employed by the Foreign Demon God.
One of those tactics was parasitism, which left the infected cultivators with a dazed gaze and stiff movements, but they retained most of their combat strength and became fearless in battle. More importantly, it had a profound psychological impact on the cultivators of the Celestial Blue World.
To see their former comrades and partners turn into ferocious and twisted attackers was a terrifying sight.
"It's useless," Liao An struggled and whispered fiercely. "Even if you parasite me, you won't be able to hide it for long. Our prolonged absence will surely attract the attention of the strong ones in the alliance."
At that moment, the two elders were desperately resisting the parasitic power of the Demon Seeds.
"Not able to hide it for long?" Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, not offering any further explanation.
Liao An and Qu Zhuang's understanding of the parasitic ability of the Demon Seeds was limited to their knowledge of the Demon Tree, the progenitor of the Foreign Demon God. However, Lin Yuan was far from being just the Demon Tree. Over the years, he had refined and enhanced the parasitic power of the Demon Seeds with his heaven-defying comprehension talent.
The parasitic effect was now infinitely stronger than that of the Demon Tree.
One only needed to look at the seven Beast Kings to understand this.
From start to finish, neither Liao An nor Qu Zhuang had realized that the Beast Kings had been parasitized; they believed that the Beast Kings had simply submitted to Lin Yuan's dominance.
Rustle!
The Demon Seeds swiftly merged with the glabella of Liao An and Qu Zhuang.
These two sixth-stage elders struggled briefly before standing up and bowing respectfully to Lin Yuan, calling out, "Master."
"Success?" Lin Yuan inquired, carefully sensing the Demon Seeds that had embedded themselves in the depths of their minds.
"Tell me, what brings you to the Black Mist Mountains, and what is the situation in the Foreign Demon Battlefield?" Lin Yuan asked casually.
The Divine Ape King had already informed him that these two alliance elders were sent by the Alliance Master of the Celestial Blue Alliance to recruit the Beast Kings for a counterattack in the Foreign Demon Battlefield. However, Lin Yuan wanted to gather more details.
"Master, the Celestial Blue Alliance Master is certain that the Foreign Demon God is in an extremely weakened state, so he plans to launch a counterattack to destroy the Foreign Demon Battlefield once and for all," Liao An replied respectfully.
"For this purpose, the Alliance Master has decided to utilize the various resources of the Celestial Blue World, such as the Beast Kings from the Ten Great Mountains and certain war machines," he continued.
"Many of these resources can only be mobilized by the Deputy Alliance Masters, so this time, the Alliance Master has sent all twelve Deputy Alliance Masters and the Guardian Elders into the Celestial Blue World," Liao An explained.
"The plan is to quickly gather these resources and weapons to launch the counterattack," he concluded.
After being parasitized by the Demon Seeds, their original selves had not truly died but were rather 'replaced', so their memories remained intact.
"I see," Lin Yuan nodded, already aware of the reason behind the Demon Tree's weakened state.
"Are you saying that the twelve Deputy Alliance Masters and the Guardian Elders of the Celestial Blue Alliance are currently in the Celestial Blue World?" Lin Yuan asked, as if a thought had just occurred to him.
"Yes, Master," Liao An and Qu Zhuang glanced at each other and nodded in confirmation.
"I see," Lin Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Since that's the case, after you two leave, bring one or two more elders back here."
Lin Yuan now had three hundred Demon Seeds at his disposal, so he could easily parasite a few more elders.
Outside the Black Mist Mountains, Liao An and Qu Zhuang transformed into streams of light and flew out.
"Master wants us to bring back other elders. Which one should we bring?" Liao An pondered, glancing at Qu Zhuang.
Although they were both elders of the Celestial Blue Alliance, Qu Zhuang's influence and connections far surpassed his own.
"I have someone in mind. Come with me," Qu Zhuang nodded and flew towards another one of the Ten Great Mountains.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain was one of the Ten Great Mountains in the Celestial Blue World.
Outside the mountain, a middle-aged man stood waiting.
"These Beast Kings are taking their sweet time. They received the Alliance Master's edict and still claim they need to prepare," the man named Bian Po, also an elder of the Celestial Blue Alliance, complained. He had come to deliver the Alliance Master's edict, ordering the Beast Kings of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to join the counterattack in the Foreign Demon Battlefield.
Just as Bian Po was growing impatient, two beams of light suddenly appeared in the distance.
"It's Qu Zhuang and Liao An," Bian Po recognized them and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Bian Po," Qu Zhuang smiled.
"How's it going? Are the Beast Kings cooperating?" Qu Zhuang asked.
"Cooperating?" Bian Po scoffed. "With the Alliance Master's edict, how dare they not cooperate? But these Beast Kings are taking their sweet time, saying they need to prepare."
"Is that all?" Qu Zhuang raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm?" Bian Po sensed there was more to it and asked, "What do you mean, Brother Qu Zhuang?"
Qu Zhuang and Liao An exchanged a glance and whispered, "Brother Bian Po, you know that Liao An and I are in charge of the Black Mist Mountains."
"Yes," Bian Po nodded.
"The Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains are quite sensible. They took the initiative to offer treasures and asked us to look after them on the battlefield," Qu Zhuang explained.
"Treasures?" Bian Po's face lit up with envy. The Beast Kings of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain lacked such insight; they hadn't offered any favors or even said a few kind words.
"Hahaha!" Qu Zhuang laughed proudly.
"I wonder what treasures the Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains offered?" Bian Po asked curiously, knowing that Qu Zhuang must have received something valuable to be in such high spirits.
"Earth Milk," Qu Zhuang whispered.
"Earth Milk?" Bian Po repeated, puzzled.
"Million-year-old Earth Milk," Qu Zhuang added.
"Million-year-old Earth Milk?!" Bian Po exclaimed, his eyes widening. This was an incredible treasure, especially for sixth-stage cultivators like them, as it could transform their bodies and bring about a new lease of life.
"Yes."
"Million-year-old Earth Milk is truly a heavenly treasure. Once it leaves its birthplace, it quickly dissipates," Bian Po agreed.
This was common knowledge in the cultivation world.
But the next moment, Bian Po realized something.
"Brother Qu Zhuang, are you saying that there's still some of the million-year-old Earth Milk left?" Bian Po asked cautiously.
"More than just some," Qu Zhuang replied with a shake of his head. "By the way, Brother Bian Po, would you like to go and absorb some? It's a rare opportunity."
"Thank you, Brother Qu Zhuang," Bian Po said, his face lighting up with joy.
"But I have to wait here for the Beast King of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain," Bian Po added, hesitating slightly.
"That's easy. Liao An, you take Brother Bian Po to the depths of the Black Mist Mountains, and I'll wait here for the Beast King," Qu Zhuang said, patting his chest confidently.
"Then..."
"Thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang." Bian Po was deeply touched by Qu Zhuang's offer, grateful for his help in both revealing the opportunity of the million-year-old Earth Milk and waiting for the Beast King in his place.
"Go on, go on."
"Our relationship will become even closer from now on," Qu Zhuang waved his hand.
"Of course," Bian Po nodded in agreement.
In front of a verdant green lake stood a goat-bearded elder, quietly observing the waters.
"Four hundred years ago, the Foreign Devil God appeared outside the world, causing turmoil among the powers of the Celestial Blue World. One of the Four Sacred Beasts, the Black Tortoise Beast King, fell into a slumber here," the goat-bearded elder thought to himself.
"Before the Black Tortoise Beast King fell asleep, it made a pact with the Alliance Master, saying that in the future, if there was a major event concerning the Foreign Devil God, it would offer its help," he continued.
As one of the guardians of the Celestial Blue Alliance, the goat-bearded elder was a peak sixth-stage cultivator. His current task was to awaken the Black Tortoise Beast King.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, the goat-bearded elder glanced towards the distance.
"Uncle San, it's me, San!"
A figure quickly flew towards them—it was Bian Po.
"Little San," the goat-bearded elder nodded slightly.
As a high-ranking member of the Celestial Blue Alliance, the goat-bearded elder occasionally provided assistance to his descendants, and Bian Po was one of the most promising among them.
"What is it?" the goat-bearded elder asked directly, as he had the task of awakening the Black Tortoise Beast King and couldn't afford to waste time.
"I have a good friend who went to the Black Mist Mountains to recruit the Beast Kings there for the battle against the Foreign Devil God," Bian Po said.
"I know," the goat-bearded elder nodded.
Each of the deputy alliance masters and guardian elders who had returned from the Foreign Devil Battlefield had been assigned specific tasks.
"Uncle San, guess what my friend found in the Black Mist Mountains," Bian Po said, glancing around cautiously.
"What did he find?" the goat-bearded elder asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"A Unity Flower, a ten-thousand-year-old Unity Flower," Bian Po whispered, his voice heavy with importance.
"A ten-thousand-year-old Unity Flower?" the goat-bearded elder's eyes narrowed.
For a peak sixth-stage cultivator like him, breaking through to the seventh stage required not only personal insight into the Grand Dao but could also be achieved by relying on external treasures like the Unity Flower, shortening or even bypassing the process.
As a peak sixth-stage cultivator, the goat-bearded elder dreamed of reaching the seventh stage, but his own talent wasn't enough. Without any unexpected events, he didn't think he would ever reach that level.
But now, he saw hope.
The Unity Flower.
If he could obtain that ten-thousand-year-old Unity Flower, breaking into the seventh stage would be a certainty.
At that time, with his past contributions and connections to the deputy alliance masters, the goat-bearded elder would become the twelfth deputy alliance master of the Celestial Blue Alliance.
"Is this true?" the goat-bearded elder stared at Bian Po, his eyes sharp. "Also, since it's a ten-thousand-year-old Unity Flower, why didn't you keep it for yourself and instead told me about it?"
Although the goat-bearded elder had provided Bian Po with a lot of help, when faced with an opportunity to reach the seventh stage, even a close relationship like that of uncle and nephew could turn sour, let alone if they were just ordinary friends.
"Uncle San, the eight Beast Kings of the Black Mist Mountains joined forces to monopolize the Unity Flower. I couldn't get my hands on it at all," Bian Po explained.
"That's why I came to tell you, Uncle San," he added.
"Why didn't you report it to the Alliance?" the goat-bearded elder asked.
"Report it to the Alliance? What benefit would I get from that?" Bian Po countered.
"It's better to tell you, Uncle San. Once you break through to the seventh stage and become a deputy alliance master, just don't forget about me," Bian Po said, his face reflecting his anxious thoughts.
"I understand now," the goat-bearded elder nodded slightly.
That explanation made sense.
It wasn't that Bian Po didn't want the Unity Flower; it was simply that he couldn't obtain it. If he continued to delay, the Beast Kings might end up consuming it themselves.
"Those Beast Kings are a bunch of useless idiots! We humans are at the forefront, fighting against the invasion of the Foreign Devil God, while those beasts are enjoying themselves in the rear!" the goat-bearded elder said, his anger rising. "The Unity Flower is a treasure that rightfully belongs to us humans, and they dare to monopolize it!"
"Little San, take me there. I want to see which Beast Kings dare to lay their hands on the Unity Flower!" the goat-bearded elder said, his eyes flashing with determination.
Without further delay, the goat-bearded elder and Bian Po headed towards the Black Mist Mountains.
As for awakening the Black Tortoise Beast King, it wasn't urgent and could be done later after obtaining the Unity Flower.
Several days later, on top of a tall mountain...
A tall man stood with his hands behind his back, a faint sense of awe surrounding him.
"This place seals one of the strongest foundations of the Celestial Blue World, an all-conquering war machine," the tall man said, a hint of emotion in his voice.
As one of the deputy alliance masters of the Celestial Blue Alliance, his status was second only to the Alliance Master. He alone had the 'authority' to activate this foundation.
"Deputy Alliance Master Gao."
"Deputy Alliance Master Gao."
"I have a major discovery to report."
At that moment, a figure quickly flew towards them—it was the goat-bearded elder.
"What discovery?" Deputy Alliance Master Gao turned his head slightly, his eyes falling on the goat-bearded elder.
Within the Celestial Blue Alliance, the goat-bearded elder was under his command, and the two had a relatively close relationship.
"I have a nephew who discovered traces of a World Armament in the Black Mist Mountains," the goat-bearded elder said, his voice lowered as he cast a spell to prevent others from eavesdropping.
Half a year later...
Deep within the Black Mist Mountains, twelve deputy alliance masters, thirty-three guardian elders, one hundred fifty-six regular elders, the Four Sacred Beast Kings, and ninety-three Beast Kings of the Celestial Blue World stood respectfully before Lin Yuan.
They answered all of Lin Yuan's questions about the secrets of the Celestial Blue World.
Lin Yuan looked down at the sixteen seventh-stage cultivators, eighty-eight peak sixth-stage cultivators, and one hundred ninety-four sixth-stage cultivators, his mind filled with mixed emotions.
"How did I, a spy sent by the Foreign Devil God, end up controlling the entire Celestial Blue World?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.
