Chapter 581: Farewell to the Holy Bird of Mulan
In Xiaoji Palace, Ye Changsheng met Bai Mengxin. She was the second person in the human world to advance to the stage of godhood, besides Wen Siyue.
It seems that she was able to advance to the Divine Transformation stage with probably a lot of help from Bai Yaoyi. After all, these two are sisters.
Of course, this is also closely related to her own outstanding qualifications. Otherwise, even if she was given more resources, she would not be able to break through that level.
After all, Bai Mengxin is someone who can cultivate to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul by relying on her own strength, unlike Senior Sister Chen and Xin Ruyin who are purely pulled up by Ye Changsheng.
Since she was able to break through to the divine realm in the human world, Bai Mengxin naturally weighed much more in Ye Changsheng's heart.
This girl has outstanding talent. When she goes to the spiritual world in the future, it will not be a problem for her to advance to the realm of refining emptiness. There is even a slight possibility for her to achieve fusion.
It all depends on how much resources Ye Changsheng can give her.
The Xiaoji Palace force headed by Bai Mengxin is undoubtedly the strongest sect in Dajin now, so Ye Changsheng asked her to come forward to summon the Nascent Soul cultivators of Dajin.
During this period, he dealt with some level nine and ten monsters in the human world, and also looked for a few people.
Although this is just a lower world, there are indeed some hidden dragons and crouching tigers in it.
Not to mention Ye Changsheng, who came from the spiritual world, nor those incarnations of the ancestors of the demon world who had long disappeared, in this lower world, there are still some gods-level beings who are free and easy.
For example, a certain Mulan sacred bird, or another example, a certain Tianlan sacred beast.
In fact, there are more than just these two incarnations of this type hidden in the lower world. When Ye Changsheng came down to the lower world this time, he vaguely noticed quite a few of them.
However, he did not seek these people out one by one. His target was only two people, one was the Tianlan Holy Beast, and the other was his old friend the Mulan Holy Bird.
If such beings deliberately want to hide, it is not easy to find them in the human world. However, Ye Changsheng has refined the true blood of the five-colored peacock, so he can use it to sense the existence of the Mulan sacred bird.
…
There is an inconspicuous hill in a grassland in the northwest corner of Tiansha Continent. On the top of this hill, there grows a strange tree that shines with five-colored light.
Its branches are dark brown, but the leaves that grow on it are all colorful. The tree is not tall, only about three or four meters, but the diameter of the trunk is about ten meters.
Few people come to this hill on weekdays, so the locals of Tiansha Continent have no idea that there is such a peculiar ancient tree here.
What they didn't know was that on this ancient tree, there lived a peacock whose entire body was crystal clear and looked like colored glaze.
The body of this peacock is light blue, but its tail has five feathers of five colors, which looks quite strange.
The peacock usually lies on the tree with its eyes closed, motionless, while five-colored light continuously flows into its five tail feathers from the ancient tree, nourishing these five feathers.
But on this day, the peacock, which had not opened its eyes for hundreds of years, suddenly opened its eyes, and its eyes, shining with dreamy light like colored glass, looked towards the grassland in the distance.
In the vast grassland, a figure was walking slowly from the distant horizon. It was a tall human man. He seemed to be walking slowly, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, but in the blink of an eye, his figure had already come down the mountain from the distant horizon.
After seeing the man's figure, a look of shock and disbelief suddenly burst out in the blue peacock's pupils.
More than a thousand years have passed since it came to this world. During this not-so-long period of time, it has rarely had such emotions and it is basically impossible for it to be too shocked by anything.
After all, it's just the Netherworld, what's so surprising about it?
But today, the peacock could not remain calm. An indescribable shock burst out from its eyes. When it saw that figure, it was as if it had seen a ghost and could not believe it!
It stood up from the tree. At this time, the slender man had appeared in front of it. With a warm smile on his face, he said lightly:
"Fairy Mulan, are you all right?"
"Is it really you?" There was still a hint of disbelief in Mulan Shengqin's gem-red pupils, and his voice trembled slightly.
After a flash of five-colored light on her body, a woman wearing colorful clothes and with a stunning appearance appeared in front of Ye Changsheng.
Mulan Shengqin transformed into a human form and looked Ye Changsheng up and down with eyes full of surprise, but she found that she could not tell the extent of Ye Changsheng's cultivation.
Although her body is only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, with her ability, even if a Void Refinement Realm cultivator appeared in front of her, she would be able to see his cultivation level clearly!
Could it be...
"Brother Ye...are you coming down from the upper realm?" Mulan Shengqin asked with his eyes wide open.
"Haha, apart from the upper realm, where else can Ye come down from?" Ye Changsheng laughed and asked back.
"If that's true, since you can come down from the upper realm, it means that your cultivation is at least at the Void Refinement Stage, right? Even I can't see through it. It seems that your strength in the upper realm has grown to a terrifying level!" Mulan Shengqin said with a complicated look on his face.
No matter how hard she tried, she never dared to think that Ye Changsheng's cultivation had reached the fusion stage. After all, Ye Changsheng had only been there for a few hundred years. How could it be possible for him to cultivate so quickly?
Although she has always felt that Ye Changsheng is extremely talented and his cultivation speed is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people, but in such a short period of time, it is relatively normal for him to cultivate to the middle and late stages of the Refining Void stage, and it is too outrageous to reach the Fusion stage.
Hearing the woman's guess, Ye Changsheng smiled, without further explanation, and said:
"I have inquired about some things about the demon race in the upper realm, and I finally guessed the fairy's identity. Is she the Peacock Demon King from tens of thousands of years ago?"
The demon race in the spiritual world is also a hodgepodge of races, composed of a large group of various races. Each of the seven most powerful royal families has more than five combined members. In addition to the seven royal families, there are also some powerful tribes among the demon race.
The Peacock Clan is one of them. Although this clan does not belong to the seven royal families, the Peacock Demon King back then was not inferior to the seven demon kings at all.
"Haha, it seems that Brother Ye has indeed learned a lot of things in the upper realm. Yes, I am indeed from the Peacock Clan!" Mulan Shengqin's eyes flashed, and he chuckled and said.
"Not only that, Ye has also been to the Feiling tribe and learned more about fairies!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
Upon hearing the three words "Fei Ling Clan", Mulan Shengqin's face finally changed, and he seemed a little bit unbelievable.
After staring at Ye Changsheng for a while, Mulan Shengqin smiled bitterly:
"I didn't expect that Brother Ye has already investigated my background so thoroughly. Since Brother Ye has even ventured into the wilderness, it seems that you should have already become a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage, right?"
"The next step is to advance to the fusion stage. I have some experience and precautions in the advanced fusion stage. I can talk to Brother Ye about it!" Mulan Shengqin seemed to have thought of something and said so.
When Ye Changsheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a playful tone:
"The fairy gave me the experience of fusion, it shouldn't be given for nothing, right? What do you want?"
Seeing Ye Changsheng's strange smile, Mulan Shengqin was a little confused, but she didn't think much about it and said with a smile:
"Nothing, I just want to make a good relationship with Brother Ye. If the Peacock Clan encounters trouble in the future, please help take care of it!"
Ye Changsheng frowned when he heard this, and after looking at her carefully, he said:
"I guessed that the fairy was in some kind of predicament, but I didn't expect you to have no confidence that you could come out alive?"
Mulan Shengqin shook his head and sighed: "If there was a hope of surviving, I wouldn't have cultivated this incarnation!"
After hearing this, Ye Changsheng did not ask her any more questions. He just chuckled and said:
"But I can't agree to the fairy's deal!"
"Hmm? What does Brother Ye mean?" Mulan Shengqin frowned slightly.
"I don't need the experience of breaking through the fusion stage!" Ye Changsheng said calmly.
When Mulan Shengqin heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter. She stared at Ye Changsheng, as if she had thought of something incredible. Her cherry-colored lips slightly opened, and her pupils suddenly shrank:
"You...you haven't advanced to the fusion stage yet?"
"Hehe!" Ye Changsheng chuckled and did not respond, neither admitting nor denying.
Mulan Shengqin had been in contact with Ye Changsheng for some time and had some understanding of his character. When she saw his attitude, she immediately knew that this person must have been a fusion cultivator, otherwise he would definitely deny it.
It took him hundreds of years to advance to the next level. This person is truly a monster. This is too outrageous!
Mulan Shengqin's heart was like a turmoil, with mixed emotions. He looked at Ye Changsheng with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.
But after a moment, she thought about it carefully and felt that if this happened to Ye Changsheng, it would not be unacceptable and it seemed to be reasonable.
After all, he is a monstrous character who cannot be understood by common sense.
With a faint sigh, Mulan Shengqin suppressed the shock in his heart and said with emotion:
"Brother Ye always brings surprises to people!"
"However, since you can't use the experience of advanced fusion, what about the experience of advanced fusion in the middle and late stages? The insights of breaking through this realm are much more precious than the experience of advanced . This is the most valuable thing I can give you at the moment!"
Mulan Shengqin raised the stakes. A cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage imparted his experience of breakthrough without reservation. This was indeed very exciting.
This kind of thing is sometimes even enough to attract a combined cultivator to work for him. For example, when the Three Emperors were recruiting subordinates, they would also offer such chips.
But Ye Changsheng just smiled and said nothing!
With her understanding of him, Mulan Shengqin immediately realized that something was wrong. She suddenly widened her eyes, her face turned pale, and asked in a trembling voice:
"You...you can't...already be..."
"Forget it, let me just say it straight. My cultivation is now the same as the fairy's original body. I am already a cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage, and I am only one step away from the Mahayana stage!"
“So the fairy’s previous experience of breakthrough is not of much use to me!” Ye Changsheng said with a faint smile on his face.
“How is this possible?!” After a cry of surprise, Mulan Shengqin was stunned and stood there motionless.
There was a long silence, and all kinds of complex expressions kept appearing on Mulan Shengqin's face, changing unpredictably. This time, her heart was really in turmoil, the kind that could not be calmed down for a while.
She could barely accept advancing to the fusion stage in a few hundred years, but reaching the peak of the fusion stage, wasn't that too much to ask?
Thinking back then, she had been waiting for the fusion for such a long time. In order to advance to the late stage of fusion, it took her tens of thousands of years. How could the late stage of fusion be achieved so easily?
As a result, the person in front of him has cultivated to this level in just a few hundred years. If Mulan Shengqin didn't know Ye Changsheng's character, he would have suspected that he was lying to him!
After a long silence, Mulan Shengqin finally sighed and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Ye, I just said that you always surprise people. Now it seems that I underestimated you. This is not a surprise at all, this is a shock!"
"Haha, fairy, what you said is true. Ye didn't mean to scare you on purpose!"
Mulan Shengqin's brows were furrowed all the time, and her face was gloomy, as if she was considering something. After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had made a decision, and her eyes became extremely firm.
"Brother Ye, when you are going back to the spirit world this time, why don't you take me with you?" She suddenly said this.
"Hmm? Didn't the fairy stay in this lower world to leave a way out for herself? Are you going to give up this backup plan now?" Ye Changsheng frowned and asked in surprise.
"It's not a solution to stay in this world forever. I still want to take another gamble!" Mulan Shengqin said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ye Changsheng showed a thoughtful look on his face. After looking at her deeply, he stopped asking questions.
"This is no problem. I came down to the mortal world this time to bring a group of people up with me!" Ye Changsheng agreed readily.
Upon hearing this, Mulan Shengqin hurriedly thanked him. She took a deep breath, her eyes flickering as if she was thinking about something.
"By the way, I want to ask the fairy about someone. Do you know the sacred beast worshipped by the Mulan people, their arch-enemies, the Tuwu people, who worship you?"
Hearing this question, Mulan Shengqin smiled softly and said lightly:
"Although that guy has concealed his identity very well, how can I not see his true identity? His true identity is the Cave Heaven Rat King, one of the seven demon kings of our demon race!"
"More than a thousand years ago, the incarnation of this Rat King came to the lower world just like me. Most likely, he was not sure that he could survive the next great calamity. We have met once in this world. Now he should also be a demon beast in the Spiritualization Stage!"
