Mortals ask the immortals

When the figure in green appeared, the world immediately returned to normal, and the stagnant river of time began to flow again.

For the people on the flying boat and the dozen demons, it was just a moment of distraction before they discovered that there was an extra person on the scene.

The demons were shocked and stopped.

Looking at the man in green with a slightly frowned brow, the demon who seemed to be a dragon shouted angrily, "Who is making trouble?"

Duan Qing frowned and looked at the dozen demons, "Give Duan some face, and go back to where you came from, how about that?"

"Who do you think you are? Why should I give you face...!"

The demon who was a dragon hadn't finished speaking when his voice suddenly stopped. At the same time, red flames suddenly ignited on his body. Almost in the blink of an eye, the whole person was completely burned to ashes, and there was nothing left.

This sudden change shocked the rest of the demons!

After a while, the remaining demons finally reacted, and they fled back screaming, fearing that they would suffer the same fate as the Jiao tribe if they were a little slower.

The old woman and others on the spirit boat in front were shocked by this scene, staring at Duan Qing in the distance with wide eyes.

"Mom, do you think that man looks familiar?" The middle-aged beautiful woman whispered to the old woman.

The old woman stopped the spirit boat and looked at Duan Qing's back from a distance, a little unsure, "It seems... I feel like I have seen him somewhere!"

The middle-aged man stared at Duan Qing from a distance, his expression a little dazed, and a picture quietly emerged from the depths of his memory.

It was in his hometown, Qiaoshan Village, a handsome young man riding a stupid and strange donkey.

Thinking of the man and the donkey that left a deep impression on him, the middle-aged man subconsciously murmured, "Brother Duan...!"

Hearing the middle-aged man beside him call "Brother Duan", the middle-aged woman immediately reacted, and the memory that had been sealed for many years flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed.

"Junior Brother!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't hide her excitement, and hurriedly asked the old woman for confirmation, "Mom, do you think this person looks like Junior Brother?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the old woman immediately remembered the young man who had dealt with her in the Three Heavens. A touch of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly controlled the spirit boat to fly back.

It's a pity that before the spirit boat approached, Duan Qing's figure quietly disappeared between heaven and earth.

Looking at the place where Duan Qing disappeared, the middle-aged woman looked bitter, but also relieved.

Yes, the current Junior Brother is no longer a person of the same level as these ordinary cultivators.

The country bumpkin who didn't even know why he practiced martial arts has now grown into a powerful person that she looks up to!

...

Hundreds of miles away, Duan Qing inadvertently looked back in the direction of the spirit boat, and felt a lot of sighs in his heart.

I really didn't expect that I would actually float back to Tianming Star, and even met several old friends from that year!

After so many years, I don't know how Senior Sister Xue and Xiao Luzi and others are doing!

Duan Qing's mind was scattered, and he had the urge to go to Yaosheng Star immediately.

However, since he has arrived at Tianming Star, he must go to Xiaonanjie to worship his parents, and by the way, see if Sheng'er and Qingwu are still in the Three Heavens.

Thinking of this, Duan Qing looked at the sky to determine the direction, and immediately flew in the direction of Xiaonanjie.

Not long after, Duan Qing arrived at the first stop of this trip, the Three Heavens Island.

However, the scene in front of him shocked Duan Qing.

I saw that where the Three Heavens Island was originally located, there was only a vast sea, where there was no island!

The Three Heavens are gone!

After being surprised, Duan Qing frowned and used his left yang eyes to search. Soon, the figures of several demon cultivators entered Duan Qing's sight.

...

An hour later, Duan Qing let go of these demon cultivators who were only at the highest level of the spiritual life realm, and his mood was very complicated.

In more than two thousand years, such a big change has taken place in the Immortal Spirit Alliance!

About two thousand years ago, the demons and humans suddenly broke out in conflict and started a two-thousand-year struggle. Even the remote third-class planet Tianmingxing was not spared and was involved in the struggle between the human and demon races.

Sanchongtian Island had sunk in the first wave of conflict two thousand years ago. In the protracted war, not only did the Xiaonan Realm fall into the hands of the demons, but even the coastal line of the Middle Earth was almost occupied by the demons, and the people were devastated.

The Tiangong Sect and Wuxiang Sect, located on the coast, were destroyed by the demons more than a thousand years ago!

Today, the demons occupy most of the territory of Tianmingxing. The five major sects headed by the Shinto Sect can only defend the inland of the Middle Earth and barely compete with the demons.

Duan Qing was worried and had no intention of intervening in the struggle between the human and demon races, so he hurried to Xiaonanjie.

Today's Xiaonanjie is also very different from more than two thousand years ago. Most places have been submerged by the sea, leaving only a few high-lying places exposed outside the sea. The original vast land has become a group of scattered islands!

Duan Qing did not see any human footprints along the way, but he encountered many demons.

Following the direction in his memory, Duan Qing finally found Xiaoan Mountain.

At this time, only half of the Xiaoan Mountain was exposed outside the sea, and Xiaoan City and the surrounding Xiaoan River were submerged by the sea.

If Duan Qing had not grown up in Xiaoan City and was very familiar with the topography of Xiaoan Mountain, he would not believe that the small island in front of him was the former Xiaoan Mountain!

After some effort, Duan Qing finally found his parents' grave on the edge of a small island near the sea.

After staying in front of the grave for a day and a night and pouring out his sufferings over the years, Duan Qing quietly left the place where he was born and raised.

…

A few days later.

Xianlong Island, Xianlong Secret Realm of Xianlong Island.

Under a withered old tree.

“Brother Tree, we had a good relationship back then, and Duan said he would repay you. Today is the day for Duan to repay you!”

As soon as the words fell, Duan Qing’s face suddenly became solemn, and the power of the Tao burst out with all his strength, causing the long river of time to flow backwards.

As the long river of time flowed backwards, the withered old tree in front of him was rejuvenated, the dry bark on its body faded, revealing a golden tree body, and golden leaves grew on the branches, which was completely different from before.

At the same time, an unprecedented sense of crisis quietly floated in Duan Qing’s heart, as if there was a knife hanging on his neck, ready to fall at any time.

Before this sense of crisis reached its limit, Duan Qing quickly stopped using the Time Principle and was ready to release the Heavenly Thunder Body clone at any time.

Finding that the sense of crisis was gradually fading, Duan Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite depressed.

After he passed the Heavenly Tribulation that day, he discovered one thing, that is, his Time Principle would be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao when it was used by the Fairy Spirit Alliance, and its power was greatly reduced, far less than when it was in the Void Space.

Even if it was used excessively, it might cause the Heavenly Dao of the Fairy Spirit Alliance to reject or even kill it!

For this point, Duan Qing could only speculate that it might be because he comprehended the Time Principle in the Void Space, and to some extent was not recognized by the Heavenly Dao of the Fairy Spirit Alliance!

Fortunately, his original Fire Principle and the Thunder Principle of the Heavenly Thunder Body clone were not affected, and their power could be fully exerted.

Moreover, after passing the Heavenly Tribulation, he also obtained the corresponding Dao Principle Power of the Fire Principle and the Thunder Principle, which was mutually blessed with the Dao Principle Power of the Time Principle, and the power was greatly improved.

The most important thing is that his cultivation level also broke through to the middle stage of the Daoling Realm.

This can be considered a blessing and a curse.
