Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever
304. Chapter 301 Green Bird? Qinghuang?
Great Love Peak.
With a wave of Yu Xian's sleeve, a black Beast Core covered in restrictions flew out.
"Monster Emperor of Death, your physical body has arrived."
The restrictions on the surface of the black Beast Core peeled off layer by layer, revealing the faint and fragile soul shadow of the Monster Emperor of Death, which looked like it could dissipate at any moment.
In front of the Beast Core, there was a normal-sized crow with black feathers, struggling and panicking, as if it had sensed its own fate.
The Monster Emperor of Death seemed a bit impatient. As soon as he saw the crow, the Beast Core swiftly entered the crow's body.
Instantly, a dense black light enveloped the crow, like a black cocoon.
The possession had begun.
Yu Xian didn't pay too much attention to it.
With the current state of the Monster Emperor of Death, possessing a weak Yellow Springs Crossing Crow with a diluted bloodline and cultivation level below the Monster General level, it was practically useless. If it could escape from his palm, he would write his name backwards.
But just in case.
Yu Xian pushed his palm forward, and a specially crafted Spiritual Weapon birdcage was already prepared.
"This time, I trouble Monster Emperor Yue to find the physical body of the Monster Emperor of Death."
Yu Xian bowed to the Golden Peng Monster Emperor beside him.
"If Monster Emperor Yue doesn't mind, you can stay in the Great Love City for a while. I have been cultivating here these days, and Monster Emperor Yue can accompany me."
The Golden Peng Monster Emperor knew that this was a benefit for him, but he pretended not to care and said:
"It didn't take much effort, but since Chairman Bai sincerely invites me, I will humbly accept."
He was willing to sign a hundred-year Spirit Beast contract just to be able to cultivate in the Great Love Domain.
Having experienced the benefits of this domain, the Golden Peng Monster Emperor wished to stay in it every moment.
Because the Great Love Domain not only resolved the bloodline curse on his body, but also had a certain catalytic effect on his bloodline. Even though he had already reached the Monster Emperor realm, his bloodline could still gain some enhancement.
Unfortunately, cultivation was a secret matter, and with important matters at hand, the True Monarch of Great Love was not willing to assist him in cultivation all the time.
Otherwise, if he could continue to cultivate in the Great Love Domain for a hundred years, he might have a chance to break through to the realm of High Grade Monster Emperor.
Yu Xian smiled and said, "Just exchanging and learning together. I have long been curious about the bloodline Divine Abilities of the Monster Race. I hope Fellow Daoist Yue can enlighten me."
The Golden Peng Monster Emperor felt that Chairman Bai's words were very pleasing to the ear.
Clearly, he was giving him benefits, but it sounded like he was seeking advice from him.
A smile appeared on his face.
"I dare not, I am honored to be able to enlighten Chairman Bai."
The two of them continued to flatter each other, and their relationship seemed to have improved a lot, without the tension they had when they first met.
After chatting for a while.
Yu Xian suddenly pointed to the little green sparrow on the shoulder of the Golden Peng Monster Emperor and said,
"Monster Emperor Yue, I find this little bird on your shoulder quite cute. I wonder if you can part with it and give it to me?"
"The honor is mine if Chairman Bai likes it."
The Golden Peng Monster Emperor gently took the little green sparrow standing on his shoulder and handed it over.
"It's quite a coincidence. I found this Yellow Springs Crossing Crow together with this little green sparrow. At that time, it was almost pecked to death by the crow. I don't know why, but I saved it."
But this little green sparrow is quite extraordinary.
Even though I, Monster Emperor Yue, am a majestic Monster Emperor and the ruler of flying beasts, this ordinary little green sparrow is not afraid of me.
Therefore, I suspect that it has other hidden bloodlines.
But perhaps due to my limited knowledge, it has been by my side for two months, and I haven't discovered anything. On the contrary, it has eaten a lot of good things from me.
If President Bai likes it, then I will borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give it to President Bai today. I hope it can bring some good mood to President Bai in the future.
Seeing how enthusiastic Monster Emperor Jinpeng was, Yu Xian was taken aback.
To be honest, he felt that this little bird was extraordinary at first sight.
He even thought of the Phoenix Demon Lord.
After all, this Monster Emperor Jinpeng, who could betray his companions, could also betray him.
The Spirit Beast contract can only be considered a gentleman's agreement.
For example, after Monster Emperor Jinpeng breaches the contract, he can use the power of the contract to severely injure him, but it would be difficult to take his life.
After all, methods like the Blood Soul Charm, which easily controls someone's life, even if he wanted to, he would need Monster Emperor Jinpeng's cooperation.
But for someone or a monster who has cultivated to this level, unless absolutely necessary, how could they easily entrust their lives to others?
And his main purpose was to experiment with his influence on Monster Emperor Jinpeng and gradually dissolve it within a hundred years. Naturally, he couldn't use overly harsh contracts to force Monster Emperor Jinpeng to reveal everything and expose himself.
So it was not surprising that Monster Emperor Jinpeng suddenly acted honorably, disregarding his own safety, and decided to sell his secrets to the Phoenix Demon Lord.
He even had some expectations.
The Phoenix Demon Lord was dedicated to promoting peaceful coexistence between humans and monsters, and had been doing so for thousands of years.
If the Phoenix Demon Lord learned about his abilities, he would definitely not want to kill him, but rather attempt to replicate his methods.
By then, it would be easy for him to become a guest of the Phoenix Demon Lord, and he might even have the opportunity to invite the Phoenix Demon Lord to become a Heaven Level member of the Great Unity Society.
With his current strength, it was not difficult to establish the framework of the Great Unity Society.
Adding the Phoenix Demon Lord would make the Great Unity Society even more worthy of its name.
However, at that time, he didn't know whether the Phoenix Demon Lord was a male or female monster.
Later, he learned from the dying Monster Emperor that the Phoenix Demon Lord, in order to resist the curse of bloodline, would rather undergo Nirvana rebirth than start a war between humans and monsters. This information further confirmed his speculation.
So when Yu Xian saw the Azure Sparrow, he immediately thought of the Phoenix Demon Lord.
Could this Azure Sparrow be the incarnation of the Phoenix Demon Lord?
But seeing how enthusiastic Monster Emperor Jinpeng was, he became uncertain.
If it really was the incarnation of the Phoenix Demon Lord, would he dare to give it away so casually?
He had been paying attention the whole time, and there was no direct or indirect communication between the Azure Sparrow and Monster Emperor Jinpeng.
Yu Xian took the little Azure Sparrow, touched its head, and felt its soft feathers.
"It's indeed not afraid of strangers, quite interesting."
"I heard that the true form of the Phoenix Demon Lord is a green phoenix with magnificent colorful wings. Unfortunately, this time, she is in a dire situation, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet her."
Yu Xian smiled at the little Azure Sparrow and said, "Then I'll call you Qingfeng. I hope that one day, you can also become a phoenix in the sky."
Monster Emperor Jinpeng laughed and said, "President Bai likes it. This might be a great opportunity for this little bird."
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, there was a loud noise.
The black cocoon in the birdcage exploded into black mist, and the black crow opened its eyes, devoid of any beastly nature, only deepness.
The black crow spoke in human language, "Yue Shan, you betrayed me, betrayed the Monster Race, and you won't have a good ending."
The first thing it did when it possessed the body was to refine the bone in its mouth.
Yu Xian smiled and said, "Dying Monster Emperor, no, now you are no longer a Monster Emperor. I should call you... Ya. It is said that this is the name given to you by the Phoenix Demon Lord, but you betrayed her."
The black crow sneered, "A good bird chooses its tree to roost on, and the Green Phoenix has shown favor to us. I do not deny that. But she is already a withered tree, ready to collapse at any moment. I am merely finding a new home in advance."
"There is a saying among humans, 'Water flows downwards, and people strive for higher ground.'"
"But Yue Shan, unexpectedly siding with a human True Monarch cultivator, has brought shame upon the Monster Emperor's reputation."
"Yue, you speak well, but now you are the one trapped in a cage, while I stand outside," the Golden Peng Monster Emperor sneered, without explaining further.
He would never share the benefits of the Great Love Law Domain with anyone else.
After all, there is only one Great Love True Monarch, and the power of the Law Domain is limited.
If one more monster knew about it, he would lose a portion of his benefits.
"Yes, might makes right, but you dare not kill me," the black crow cursed, "I have seen it already, the great army of the Monster Race will sweep through the world, destroying everything here. Your fate will be a hundred times, a thousand times more miserable than mine!"
"Enough noise."
With a thought, Yu Xian covered the birdcage with a layer of black cloth, blocking out all light and sound.
If it weren't for the fear of the Monster Emperor dying too quickly, he believed that the Monster Emperor in the Beast Core state would be a better Monster Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the Golden Peng Monster Emperor also thought of the Green Phoenix, who was about to undergo Nirvana, and his face darkened.
This time, he specifically went back to visit the Green Phoenix, wanting to inform her of the plans of the other Monster Emperors.
Although the Green Phoenix probably already knew.
But he was deeply grateful to the Green Phoenix, and if he didn't know, it would be fine. But since he knew, he had to remind her.
However, the Green Phoenix did not receive him, only acknowledging the situation he described.
He speculated that the Green Phoenix's condition might not be good, which is why she refused to see him.
After all, the previous Green Phoenix was very kind, treating them Monster Emperors as family and personally giving them names.
But now, with Nirvana approaching, her condition is a secret.
Even these Monster Emperors under her command are kept in the dark.
Just like the Monster Emperor who had already sided with the Mountain Moving True Monarch, the Green Phoenix didn't know which of her Monster Emperors remained loyal, so she simply didn't see anyone.
But Yue Shan was different, he had his own thoughts.
Otherwise, he should have informed the Green Phoenix of the abilities of the Great Love True Monarch as soon as possible.
But he was afraid.
First, if he violated the contract, President Bai could kill him using the Spirit Beast contract.
Second, he was afraid that once the news leaked, it would attract the attention of other Monster Emperors. When the group of monsters arrived, even if he didn't die, he would most likely be severely injured. He might be one of the first to die.
The Green Phoenix was struggling alone, in a bad state, and her own safety was a problem.
He was grateful for the Green Phoenix's protection, but this gratitude was not enough for him to sacrifice his life.
The Golden Peng Monster Emperor, whose mood suddenly became low, bid farewell to Yu Xian and left.
Next, he would stay in the Great Love City as a human, using his cultivation level to ensure that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could see through his true identity. He didn't have to worry about being discovered.
...
After the Golden Peng Monster Emperor left, Yu Xian continued to observe the little green sparrow in his hand.
Just now, he deliberately mentioned the name of the Green Phoenix multiple times and pointed out the betrayal of the Green Phoenix by the Monster Emperor who had sided with the Mountain Moving True Monarch, just to observe the reaction of this little creature.
As a result, it remained clueless, as if it were truly just an ordinary bird, with extremely thin demonic energy.
"Whether you are or not, once you enter my Law Domain, everything will be clear."
Yu Xian's feet spread out a domain, and his entire body was enveloped by the domain's space. The peculiar power began to transform Qingque's body.
Qingque let out an urgent cry, and the blood energy within the domain began to penetrate its body.
Its size began to increase, its feathers became more glossy, its claws became thicker, its nails gleamed with a metallic cold light, and its eyes gained a hint of intelligence.
"Are you really okay?"
Yu Xian threw Qingque into the air, and it circled around before landing on his shoulder. It even extended its beak to gently peck at his hair, showing a very affectionate appearance.
"If the Phoenix Demon Lord can really achieve this level, I would accept being deceived."
Yu Xian touched Qingque's soft feathers and played with its beak, thinking this way.
Suddenly, he thought of something, grabbed Qingque's body and turned it over, then touched it with his hand.
"Mm, it's fine, it's a female."
It is well known that True Monarch Yu does not keep male pets.
...
Time returned to a stable order.
Although the beast tide continued, with groups of Demonic Beasts appearing from the demonic veins every day, the frequency had decreased significantly.
Moreover, these Demonic Beasts were just tools used by the Great Unity Society to promote their reputation and materials to reduce the cost of alchemy.
In the absence of the Monster Emperor, the Misty Shadow Daoist soldiers were invincible. They might not be able to defeat a true Nascent Soul Monster Emperor, but when dealing with a Demon King, it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
On the side of the Profound Yang Sect, they turned a blind eye to the September True Monarch's defiance of the imperial decree, without any countermeasures. It seemed that they had no way to deal with the September True Monarch, a high-ranking official.
But Yu Xian and Yue Jiu both understood one thing.
Barking dogs don't bite.
The calmer the situation, the more it was a harbinger of a storm.
It is worth mentioning that during the beast tide, the sects did not collect taxes.
After all, according to past practice, everyone was gathering to fight the beast tide, and the Spirit Field had no large formations to guard it, so it could only be left abandoned, waiting for the end of the beast tide to resume cultivation.
But now, with the Great Unity Society's army of soldiers patrolling all directions, most of the high-level Demonic Beasts had been dealt with.
The remaining scattered high-level Demonic Beasts could be guarded by the local powerful cultivators.
So, during the beast tide, taxes still had to be paid, but it was only half of the usual amount. After the beast tide ended, the normal tax rate would be restored.
As a result, in recent years, the Mingyue Heavenly City had intercepted over one billion spirit stones in tax revenue each year.
As for how this part of the tax revenue was used, it naturally came from the people and was used for the people.
The Great Unity Society had made great contributions to defending the territory, and the cultivators were constantly shuttling back and forth, exterminating demons for the people. How could they not receive some subsidies?
Yu Xian's support for four hundred pseudo-Dan stage cultivators breaking through each year also had something to do with these spirit stones.
There was still no movement from the Phoenix Demon Lord.
Although the dying Monster Emperor said that the Phoenix Demon Lord's Nirvana was imminent, for a Demon Lord, this "imminent" could range from a few years to several decades.
Their lifespan was indeed too long.
Take the Phoenix Demon Lord, for example. As a member of the Monster Race, they already had a long lifespan. Living for ten thousand years in the Venerable Realm of the Demon race was not a problem, and the Phoenix Demon Lord had the ability of the Phoenix Nirvana, making their lifespan even more terrifying.
So, in the blink of an eye, another five years had passed.
A gust of wind descended from the Da'ai Peak, transforming into the figure of the Golden Peng Monster Emperor. His face was solemn, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
"President Bai, it seems that this beast tide will not end."
PS: This chapter is short and lacks substance, but the time spent writing it is the same as before, so... I'm stuck with the story. (End of this chapter)
