Chapter 348 Farewell (Part )
Afterwards, Gu Yun and Shang Wenqing briefly discussed some business strategies in the Demon Realm. They decided not to let Shang Wenqing accompany them on this expedition, as the area was too chaotic and forcing them to engage in business would not be very meaningful.
I'll consider these things once I have complete control over the demon realm.
After greeting Shang Wenqing, Gu Yun did not linger and headed to Wentian Academy.
After having a few cups of tea with Han Tian, I went to see Hongxiu.
Hongxiu's cultivation speed is very fast.
In just a few months, he had already reached the peak of the mortal realm, only one step away from entering the Overlord realm. This is the initial threshold that distinguishes him from mortals and cultivators, and it is also the most crucial threshold.
To be honest, Gu Yun couldn't get involved in the subsequent cultivation process.
The convergence of the Emperor's will over life and death meant that Hongxiu could not grow up in a greenhouse environment.
Unless one relinquishes the Emperor's will regarding life and death.
However, as someone whose consciousness is closest to or derived from the rules of life and death, Gu Yun still has certain expectations for Hongxiu, but hopes that she can grow up faster.
The future could change drastically at any time.
As for Ji Ning, Gu Yun went to the Ji family to inquire, and Ji Xiao replied that the child had gone on a long journey to gain experience on his own, and he did not know where she was now. The last time they contacted each other was more than half a month ago.
After leaving them some life essence, Gu Yun stopped asking any further questions.
Including what I use myself.
Of the four hundred drops of life essence, only one hundred drops remain.
You can never have too much of this kind of thing.
...
While some people are carefree, others are worried.
In a bright and warm room, there was a feeling of entering a dark room, filled with an invisible gloom, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Sheena sat at an antique wooden table, her expression solemn, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the rim of a cup on the table.
"boom!"
A crisp sound of ceramic cracking broke the silence of the room.
Ultimately, the cup could not escape its fate of breaking into pieces.
Sheena's eyes were filled with irritation.
His face was incredibly grim as he stared in disbelief at the subordinate who had delivered the message.
The sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"It's been over a month, and that demon is still alive?!"
Her voice was filled with barely concealed shock and anger.
The truth was like a steel needle, piercing her heart.
She remembered clearly that the Heavenly Demon was hit by Sister Fu's power: withered wood, a terrifying power involving the rules of death. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hit, and if it had, it shouldn't have been able to live for so many days.
Unless this demon also has knowledge of these rules.
But how is this possible?
But according to the intelligence that has been received, the Heavenly Demon is still alive.
The demon race has some awareness of the existence of the Heavenly Demon.
When the Heavenly Demon is present, one feels as if their fate is out of their control, as if something is pressing down on them.
The feedback from the informant at present.
The Heavenly Demon has not yet truly died.
This was something she couldn't understand or accept.
"Who are you anyway?"
Who exactly is behind the Heavenly Demon?
Sheena frowned, her gaze sweeping out the window, where the sky seemed to darken in sync with her mood.
She could only attribute everything to the mysterious person behind Gu Yun.
This mysterious person must come from the upper realm.
In fact, the Elf royal family had long known that the Heavenly Demon and Canglan Star were closely related, and that Yunyin was very likely under the protection of the Heavenly Demon.
The reason they haven't taken any action for the past month is that they've simply been waiting.
Because she did not believe that any living being in the lower realm could withstand the erosion of the dead tree.
Now everything points to a possibility that is hard for her to accept—the Heavenly Demon may have already removed the corrosive influence of the withered tree, or may have the ability to stop its spread.
Sheena couldn't determine Gu Yun's current state.
But one thing is certain.
That means Gu Yun is still alive.
Taking rash action would only result in no return.
It's impossible for the entire Elf race to launch a full-scale attack just for Yunyin; the Star Alliance is very powerful.
But if only a few powerful individuals are sent to capture them, how could they possibly be a match for the Heavenly Demon?
A monster that can withstand Eve's attacks in the Nether.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
Sheena rubbed her silky blue hair, and for a moment she looked a bit like an old lady arguing at the market.
For the first time, Sheena considered giving up. The reason she was so persistent about the Illusionary Dream Imperial Will was not only because the Illusionary Dream Imperial Will had a high degree of compatibility with her domain, but also because the upper limit of the Illusionary Dream Imperial Will was very high.
The rules behind the Illusionary Dream Emperor's Will... are terrifying.
If we only consider compatibility...
The highest one is actually the Extreme Cold Imperial Will of the Star Alliance.
However, the Extreme Cold Emperor's Will is held by a hegemonic force within the Human Realm Star Alliance, making it very difficult to obtain the inherited Emperor's Will.
Sheena was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.
Despite being a celestial being who could command the wind and rain in the upper realm, he felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before in the lower realm.
...
Time flies.
In these few days.
Gu Yun accompanied Yun Yin and Bai Qing'er as they traveled and enjoyed the scenery of Canglan Star. Yun Yin liked Bai Qing'er very much, or rather, it was hard not to like Bai Qing'er's sensible and well-behaved personality. Gradually, Gu Yun also gave up the idea of leaving Bai Qing'er here.
He might as well follow along. He could even guide Bai Qing'er's cultivation along the way. Although Gu Yun knew nothing about it, Ye Ying'er and Xiao Li were there to help with the ins and outs of cultivation in the lower realms, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to teach Bai Qing'er combat skills.
During these few days of fun, Gu Yun experienced a rare moment of relaxation. Getting to this point from Earth was no easy feat.
They also took some time to visit Crimson Flame Star. One reason was to introduce Su Xiaoqian to Yunyin, and the other was to make a deal with the Crimson Flame Empress. In return, if Canglan Star ever needed their help, they would be available to help them in the future.
Finally, it's also necessary to say goodbye to Su Xiaoqian honestly.
This trip to the Demon Realm might be my last.
Unless it's the worst-case scenario Gu Yun imagined, which is why he sought out Empress Chi Yan, something unexpected must have happened on Canglan Star.
After all, Canglan Star is quite special now, being a star where humans and demons coexist relatively peacefully, but who knows what might happen in the future.
Normally speaking.
The next leg of their journey through the Demon Realm is to return to the Upper Realm.
During this time, Gu Yun did not forget about the growth of his soul power.
Although everything else has essentially reached a threshold, making it impossible to move forward.
But the soul itself has not yet reached the level of a saint.
My soul is quite special.
The soul is elevated to the same level as that of other saints.
When one's soul reaches the level of a saint, some qualitative changes should occur.
This won't take too long.
He absorbs soul essence at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
If we include the soul crystals we've absorbed.
There should be hope of reaching the Saint level before heading to the Upper Realm.
