Deep within the Black Mist Mountains, Qu Zhuang and Liao An felt tense.
Their only hope now was that Lin Yuan would fear the Azure Alliance and refrain from completely turning against them, thus sparing their lives.
However, Lin Yuan rely glanced at them before releasing the demonic tree seeds and initiating parasitism.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An were elders of the Azure Alliance, sixth-rank experts, barely eting Lin Yuan's standards for "parasitism".
Moreover, as high-level cultivators of the Azure Alliance, they possessed even greater "parasitism" value.
Buzz!!!
Two grayish seeds plumted down.
After perfecting the parasitic effect, the demonic tree seeds appeared even darker, with a vague circulation of inexplicable soul power.
"Not good."
"He intends to parasitize us."
The emaciated elder, Qu Zhuang, imdiately deduced Lin Yuan's intentions upon seeing the situation.
As elders of the Azure Alliance, having fought on the battlefield against the evil gods for many years, they were familiar with several thods commonly used by those extradinsional evil gods.
Among them was the ability to parasitize. Although human cultivators parasitized by it would beco dull-eyed and stiff in movent, they would inherit most of their forr combat power and beco ferocious and fearless.
Most importantly, it had a psychological impact on cultivators from the Azure World.
Forr comrades, now parasitized, would turn into fierce attackers with grotesque appearances, tearing at them.
"It's useless."
"Even if you parasitize , you won't be able to hide it for too long. If we disappear for too long, the Alliance's strong will surely be alerted."
Liao An struggled while roaring softly.
At this mont, they were resisting the parasitic ability of the demonic tree seeds with difficulty.
"Not able to hide it for too long?"
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly without elaborating further.
Qu Zhuang, Liao An, and other elders of the Azure Alliance were only familiar with the parasitic ability of the ancestral demonic tree. However, Lin Yuan was not the ancestral demonic tree. After decades of consumption and constant improvent under the Unrivaled Insight, the parasitic power of the demonic tree seeds might be much stronger than the ancestral demonic tree.
In this regard, one could just look at the seven demonic beast kings beside them.
From beginning to end, Qu Zhuang and Liao An had not noticed that the demonic beast kings had already been parasitized, thinking that they had simply submitted to Lin Yuan.
Crackling sounds.
The demonic tree seeds quickly rged into the brows of Qu Zhuang and Liao An.
After a brief struggle, the two sixth-rank elders imdiately stood up and bowed respectfully to Lin Yuan. "Master."
"Successful?"
Lin Yuan carefully sensed it.
Confirming that the demonic tree seeds had completely rged into the depths of their minds.
"Speak. Why have you co to the Black Mist Mountains, and how is the situation in the battlefield against the evil gods?"
Lin Yuan asked casually.
The Monkey King had already reported to him that these two Alliance elders had co under the orders of the Azure Alliance's master to recruit the demonic beast kings here and launch a counterattack in the battlefield against the evil gods.
However, Lin Yuan wanted to inquire about the specific details.
"Master, the master of the Azure Alliance has determined that the extradinsional evil gods are in an extrely weakened state. Therefore, he intends to launch a counterattack and completely destroy the battlefield against the evil gods."
"For this reason, the master of the Azure Alliance has decided to mobilize many of the world's resources, such as the demonic beast kings of the ten major mountain ranges, as well as certain war machines and so on."
"These resources, many of which can only be activated by vice-masters, so this ti, the master has sent the twelve vice-masters and the elders of the protectorates into the world of the Azure."
"To quickly gather many resources and launch a counterattack."
Liao An spoke respectfully, explaining in a low voice.
After being parasitized by the demonic tree seeds, their original essence had not died, but had been "replaced," so many mories had not been affected.
"I see."
Lin Yuan nodded. He naturally understood the reason why the ancestral demonic tree had fallen into an extrely weakened state.
"Are you saying that now the twelve vice-masters of the Azure Alliance, as well as the elders of the protectorates, are all in the world of the Azure?"
Lin Yuan seed to have thought of sothing, asking.
"Yes, master."
Liao An and Qu Zhuang looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, then."
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, looking pensive.
"Since that's the case, after you two leave, bring one or two more elders over."
Lin Yuan said.
Currently, the number of demonic tree seeds he had had soared to three hundred, so he could still parasitize more.
Outside the Black Mist Mountains, Qu Zhuang and Liao An transford into streaks of light and flew out.
"Master wants us to bring other elders back. Which one should we bring?"
Liao An thought to himself, glancing at Qu Zhuang.
Although both of them were elders of the Azure Alliance, in terms of connections, Qu Zhuang was definitely much stronger than him.
"I have a candidate in mind."
"You co with ."
Qu Zhuang nodded and imdiately flew towards another of the ten major mountain ranges.
The Ten Thousand Beast Mountains.
Another one of the ten major mountain ranges of the world of Azure.
Outside the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains stood a middle-aged man.
"These demonic beast kings are taking their ti. They've received the master's decree and still say they need to prepare."
This middle-aged man, nad Bian Bo, was also one of the elders of the Azure Alliance.
This ti, he had co to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains to convey the master's decree, ordering the demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains to launch a counterattack in the battlefield against the evil gods.
Just as Bian Bo and the others were getting impatient.
Two streaks of light suddenly appeared not far away.
"It turns out to be Brothers Qu Zhuang and Liao An."
Bian Bo swept his gaze over and imdiately smiled and went forward to greet them.
"Brother Bian."
The thin elder, Qu Zhuang, smiled.
"How is it? Are these demonic beast kings cooperating?"
Qu Zhuang inquired.
"Cooperating?"
"With the master's decree, would they dare not to cooperate?"
Bian Bo sneered, "But these demonic beast kings are too slow. They say they need to prepare for a while."
"Just them?"
Qu Zhuang raised an eyebrow.
"What do you an, Brother Qu Zhuang?"
Bian Bo sensed there was more to Qu Zhuang's words and inquired.
Qu Zhuang and Liao An exchanged a glance and whispered, "Brother Bian, as you know, the two of us are in charge of the Black Mist Mountains."
"Yes."
Bian Bo nodded.
"We went to issue the decree to the demonic beast kings of the Black Mist Mountains. So of those demonic beast kings were quite astute, voluntarily offering treasures and asking us to take care of them on the battlefield."
Qu Zhuang said.
"Such good fortune."
Bian Bo's face filled with envy. The demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains lacked such foresight; they didn't even offer benefits, let alone a few kind words.
"Hahaha."
Qu Zhuang chuckled proudly at this.
"I wonder what treasures the demonic beast kings of the Black Mist Mountains offered?"
Bian Bo asked, sowhat curious. Seeing Qu Zhuang's expression, he was sure the treasures were exceptional.
"Earth Milk."
Qu Zhuang said in a low voice.
"Earth Milk?" Bian Bo repeated, slightly puzzled.
"Million-year Earth Milk."
Qu Zhuang added.
"Million-year Earth Milk?" Bian Bo's eyes widened. That was a precious treasure, especially for sixth-rank cultivators like them; it could have a rejuvenating effect akin to bone washing and marrow cleansing.
"Unfortunately."
"Million-year Earth Milk cannot be preserved or carried. Liao An and I absorbed most of it for nearly half a day, but we couldn't continue absorbing it, so we had to co out."
Qu Zhuang shook his head.
"Yes."
"Million-year Earth Milk is a true natural treasure. Once it leaves its birthplace, it dissipates rapidly."
Bian Bo nodded. This was common knowledge in the cultivation world.
But in the next mont, Bian Bo realized sothing.
"Brother Qu Zhuang, are you saying there's still so million-year Earth Milk left?"
Bian Bo asked tentatively.
"Not just so."
Qu Zhuang shook his head. "By the way, Brother Bian, do you want to absorb so? It's a rare opportunity."
"Thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang."
Bian Bo was overjoyed.
"But, I need to wait here for the demonic beast kings of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains."
Bian Bo hesitated.
"That's no problem. Liao An, you take Brother Bian to the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains, and I'll wait here. How's that?"
Qu Zhuang patted his chest.
"Alright, thank you so much, Brother Qu Zhuang."
Bian Bo was moved. Brother Qu Zhuang was such a good person; he not only inford him of the million-year Earth Milk, but also waited here for the demonic beast kings.
"Go ahead."
"Our relationship will beco even closer in the future."
Qu Zhuang waved his hand.
"Of course."
Bian Bo nodded affirmatively.
At a verdant lake, an elderly man with a goatee stood quietly, gazing at the water.
"Four hundred years ago, when the extradinsional evil gods appeared outside the world, many forces in the Azure World were shaken. Among them, the Xuanwu Beast King, known as one of the Four Holy Beasts, was sleeping here." (Basically a huge turtle)
The goateed elderly man's thoughts fluctuated.
He was a guardian of the Azure Alliance, a peak sixth-rank expert. This ti, he had entered the Azure World specifically to awaken the Xuanwu Beast King.
"En?"
At this mont, the goateed elderly man glanced into the distance.
"Uncle San, it's , Uncle San."
A figure flew over swiftly, and it was Bian Bo.
"Little Bo."
The goateed elderly man nodded slightly.
As a high-ranking mber of the Azure Alliance, the goateed elderly man naturally occasionally lent a hand to his offspring and descendants.
Bian Bo was the most promising among his offspring and descendants.
"What's the matter?"
The goateed elderly man asked directly.
He had the task of awakening the Xuanwu Beast King and couldn't afford to waste too much ti.
"I have a good friend who went to the Black Mist Mountains to recruit the demonic beast kings there for the battlefield against the evil gods."
Bian Bo spoke up.
"I know about that."
The goateed elderly man nodded.
After returning from the battlefield against the evil gods, the vice-masters and elders of the protectorates all had their own tasks to perform.
"Uncle San, guess what my friend found in the Black Mist Mountains."
As Bian Bo spoke, he cautiously glanced around.
"What did they find?"
The goateed elderly man asked with a hint of amusent.
"Harmony Flower, a millennium Harmony Flower."
Bian Bo lowered his voice and said solemnly.
"Millennium Harmony Flower?"
The goateed elderly man's pupils contracted.
For a peak sixth-rank expert to break through to the seventh rank, besides relying on their own enlightennt of the Great Dao, external objects like the Millennium Harmony Flower could also shorten or even bypass this process.
As a peak sixth-rank powerhouse, the goateed elderly man had dread of breaking through to the seventh rank. However, his own talent was insufficient, and if nothing unexpected happened in the future, he estimated that he would be unable to touch the seventh rank.
But now.
He saw hope.
Millennium Harmony Flower.
As long as he could obtain that Millennium Harmony Flower, stepping into the seventh rank would be a certainty.
By then, relying on his past contributions and his relationships with several vice-masters, the goateed elderly man would beco the twelfth vice-master of the Azure Alliance.
"Is this true?"
The goateed elderly man stared at Bian Bo, "And why didn't you keep the Millennium Harmony Flower for yourself? Instead, you're telling ?"
Although the goateed elderly man had provided Bian Bo with a lot of help, when faced with such a great opportunity to break through to the seventh rank, not to ntion that they were only uncle and nephew, even biological father and son might turn against each other.
"Uncle San."
"The eight demonic beast kings in the Black Mist Mountains have joined forces to seize the Harmony Flower, and I can't get my hands on it at all."
"So I ca to tell Uncle San."
Bian Bo said.
"Why didn't you report it to the Alliance?" the goateed elderly man asked.
"Report it to the Alliance? How much benefit can they give ?"
"It's better to tell Uncle San. When Uncle San breaks through to the seventh rank and becos a vice-master, don't forget about Little Bo."
Bian Bo's face showed a hint of fear in ti.
"I see."
The goateed elderly man nodded slightly.
This makes sense.
It's not that Bian Bo didn't want to get the Harmony Flower.
It's just that he couldn't get it at all. If he continued to delay, he would probably be swallowed by those demonic beast kings.
"These demonic beast kings are a bunch of useless trash. We humans are resisting the invasion of the evil gods on the battlefield, while these beasts are enjoying themselves in the rear."
"Treasures like the Harmony Flower naturally belong to us humans, yet they want to monopolize them."
The goateed elderly man was furious. "Little Bo, take over. I want to see which demonic beast kings dare to seize the Harmony Flower."
The goateed elderly man imdiately went with Bian Bo to the Black Mist Mountains.
As for awakening the Xuanwu Beast King, it wasn't urgent at the mont. It wouldn't be too late to do so after obtaining the Harmony Flower.
Several days later.
On a high mountain.
A tall man stood with his hands behind his back.
"This place seals one of the most powerful foundations of our Azure World, the war machine that dominates everything."
The tall man's expression was sowhat nostalgic.
As the vice-master of the Azure Alliance, second only to the master, only he had the "authority" to activate this foundation.
"Vice-Master Gao."
"Vice-Master Gao."
"We have a major discovery to report to you."
At this mont, a streak of light flew quickly.
It was the goateed elderly man.
"What major discovery?"
Vice-Master Gao turned his head and glanced at the goateed elderly man.
In the Azure Alliance, the goateed elderly man belonged to his faction, so their relationship was relatively close.
"I have a nephew who found traces of the world's weapons in the Black Mist Mountains."
After using a spell to prevent eavesdropping, the goateed elderly man lowered his voice and said.
Six months later.
Deep in the Black Mist Mountains.
The twelve vice-masters of the Azure Alliance, thirty-three protectors, one hundred and fifty-six elders, the four sacred beast kings, and ninety-three demonic beast kings all stood respectfully there.
They were listening to Lin Yuan explain various secrets about the Azure World.
Looking down at the sixteen seventh-rank powerhouses, eighty-eight peak sixth-rank experts, and one hundred and ninety-four sixth-rank powerhouses, Lin Yuan couldn't help but ponder, feeling a hint of emotion in his heart.
How did a lowly underling sent by an extradinsional evil god end up controlling the entire Azure World?
