Chapter 1122: Chapter 703: Supreme Duel?
Disappearing smile technique?
Du Yu watched as the woman’s expression grew serious, and he immediately said, "Don’t worry, Master Qing!
When we returned from the Ashen Continent last time, the Void Axe had already marked the coordinates at the Dixiu Tree.
This time when I go to the Ashen Continent, I’ll head to the wilderness, not the Bottomless Kunlun or the Cold Beast Camp."
His words gave Yang Qingqing some reassurance.
She and Du Yu had been exiled on the Ashen Continent for more than half a month and knew the condition of the Otherworld Continent well.
Although the wilderness is also dangerous, it’s far less so than regions like Bottomless Kunlun or the Cold Beast Camp.
But the question is... why go there?
"Nai~" Bai Yujing seemed a bit anxious, feeling that her mistress was quite serious.
She cautiously observed for a while, then lowered her snow-white deer head, gently touching her mistress’s shoulder.
Yang Qingqing casually asked, "Can you wield the Void Axe?"
With one sentence, Du Yu was completely deflated.
She stroked Bai Yujing’s cheek and questioned, "Hmm?"
"I... uh." Du Yu stuttered, saying, "I’m a Spirit Master·Great Success Stage."
Over the past few months, the Divine Tree had bestowed Du Yu’s Shen Cang Acupoint with extremely abundant Spiritual Qi several times.
This Spiritual Qi was used for casting spells with the Void Axe, and Du Yu, as the "container," naturally absorbed and digested a lot, gaining considerable benefits in the process.
However, the Spirit Master·Great Success Stage, this stage, still couldn’t support Du Yu in wielding the Void Axe.
According to what the Void Axe had said before, Du Yu would need at least to be at the Third Level·Spirit Master stage to barely swing the axe blade once.
Yang Qinqing turned her head to look at the remorseful Du Yu: "Why go there, give me a reason."
Du Yu said, "I received some insights at Bamboo Shadow Thunder Pool, and I need to validate them on the Ashen Continent."
Hearing this, Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but slightly frown.
This reason seems quite legitimate?
Du Yu struck while the iron was hot, "Master Qing, I’m just going to the Bamboo Grove of the Ashen Continent. According to the Dixiu Tree, its location is not far from the Chi Bear’s Courtyard.
I promise to return after the visit and not stay too long on the Ashen Continent."
Yang Qingqing fell silent, saying nothing.
All around, there was silence, only the rustle of Dixiu Leaves.
Little Di Xiu reached out a branch, placing the leaves in the woman’s palm between her and the deer’s head, seemingly vying for attention.
Just as Du Yu was about to break the silence, Jia Rong Grass leaned in.
Two blades of grass settled on the master and disciple’s shoulders, and an ancient voice spoke in unison, "Jiang Feng has advanced to Demon Taming Emperor."
"Oh?" Du Yu’s eyes lit up, Senior Sister finally advanced?
He immediately suggested, "Let’s go, Master Qing, shall we go and see?"
Yang Qingqing rolled the Dixiu Leaves in her hand, "Have her come over."
Jia Rong Grass: "Yes."
Du Yu: "..."
Thinking about it, it makes sense. How could there be a reason for the Master to visit?
Moreover, this Master Qing is just an ordinary person, making travel somewhat inconvenient.
In fact, Yang Qingqing hadn’t thought much; she just wanted to spend more time with the Dixiu Tree.
Yang Qingqing toyed with the leaves in her hand and suddenly asked, "How’s your relationship with Elder Langao?"
Du Yu was startled, not knowing where this question came from.
He pondered for a moment, and said, "Elder Langao has guided me a lot, and I’ve owed her a great debt of gratitude.
I’ve thought about it for a long time and still don’t know how to thank her; the elder told me that we’ve formed a good bond, and she also said..."
Yang Qingqing: "What?"
Du Yu scratched his head, "When I left, Elder Langao also said she would be waiting for me at the Huangtu Temple.
I was puzzled at first about why I would visit again, but it seems it might be for Senior Sister."
Yang Qingqing slightly raised her eyebrows, "Are you planning to take Jiang Feng to the Huangtu Temple?"
"Yes." Du Yu nodded repeatedly, "Over there, there’s a Supreme·Mud Po Goddess Sculpture stationed, which is more beneficial for Senior Sister Jiang Feng’s cultivation.
Moreover, Senior Sister Jiang’s main focus is also the Mud Po Goddess Sculpture, I introduced her to Elder Langao, and in the future, if Senior Sister has any questions, she can seek advice."
Yang Qingqing quietly watched Du Yu, her eyes somewhat complex.
The disciple never hesitated to help his own, he said it, and he always did it.
For Jiang Feng, this is a great opportunity!
Think about Great Xia Seven Saints·Feng Wuheng, who had no clue about the Supreme Level and ultimately had to humble himself to visit Du Yu.
And look at Jiang Feng!
She just became an emperor and is already set to be positioned next to the Earth Element Sainting Demon Tamer and Earth Element Supreme by Du Yu.
The fate of people is indeed different.
It’s good this way; Xiaofeng has suffered too much, and meeting Du Yu is a turning point from suffering to sweetness.
"Master Qing?" Du Yu softly called, a bit unable to read the woman’s expression.
Too complex, indeed.
Well... it was probably comfort.
Yang Qingqing gently spoke, "Your return visit, maybe not for Jiang Feng."
Du Yu was a bit confused, "Then what’s it for?"
Yang Qingqing raised her head, gazing at the swirling dark clouds in the sky, "Kui Chou once said, only by defeating it head-on can you sign a contract with it."
Du Yu’s heart twitched, "Master Qing, do you mean?"
Yang Qingqing: "Can you invite Elder Langao?"
"Goodness~" Du Yu grinned.
No wonder!
Just now, Master Qing inquired how my private relationship with the elder was.
But... does this king’s face have such weight?
Yang Qingqing smiled at her disciple, through his reactions, deducing his thoughts.
She spoke, "Since Elder Langao clearly stated she would wait for you at the Huangtu Temple, maybe the elder has seen something, so go give it a try."
"Hmm..." Du Yu extended a long nasal sound.
Mud Po VS Kui Chou?
Just thinking about it is exciting!
Yang Qingqing looked up again, gazing at the dark clouds, "If we have Kui Chou’s help, I will feel more at ease if you go to the Ashen World again."
Not only for going to the Ashen World, but also for when my disciple clears the Bottomless, and cuts down the Cold Trees, I can be more at ease.
"I understand." Du Yu nodded heavily, "I will go ask Elder Langao in a moment."
Yang Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, her disciple’s strength was growing stronger, but he remained as obedient and well-behaved as ever, which brought her considerable comfort.
A lively voice echoed in Du Yu’s mind, "Are we going to let Mud Po and Niuniu have a fight?"
"That’s right." Du Yu was a little excited, "Who do you think will win?"
Little Fen Yang answered matter-of-factly, "If the fight is in the Mountain Realm, it would definitely be Niuniu who wins!"
"Oh, right!" Du Yu slapped his own forehead.
The Mountain Realm is the domain of the Ancient Niuniu, here it can have the wind when it wants wind, and rain when it wants rain.
Kui Chou had also clearly stated that fighting in another Supreme domain was purely looking for discomfort!
Wouldn’t bringing the Mud Po Goddess Sculpture into the Mountain Realm just be asking for a beating?
Hmm... Master Qing’s Jiangshan Map should be able to accommodate the Ancient Niuniu, right?
"Master Qing." Du Yu turned his gaze to Yang Qingqing, "If this challenge is successful..."
Yang Qingqing: "..."
Challenge?
Is that how you describe a battle between Supremes?
Du Yu: "This fight can’t take place in the Mountain Realm; it has to be in your Jiangshan Map."
Yang Qingqing naturally understood the reasoning and nodded in agreement, "No problem."
"No way, Master Qing’s Jiangshan Map is too beautiful." Du Yu mumbled, "We could go to Mengnan’s Peach Blossom Realm, there’s plenty of barren land there."
A clash of Supreme levels, could it be a small commotion?
It will inevitably be world-destroying, and will certainly make a mess of the seven-foot Jiangshan.
If the battlefield is set in the Peach Blossom Realm, then there’s less to worry about; besides the Mountain Temple area, the Peach Blossom Realm is nothing but barren mountains and ash lands.
Even if Niuniu explodes with all its might, we wouldn’t feel distressed~
"Master Qing."
"Master Qing!" A group of disciples rushed over, their greetings echoed continuously.
"Sasa~" The Dixiu Tree was extremely happy, ever since it settled in the Mountain Realm, its home hadn’t been this lively.
Yang Qingqing smiled and nodded, watching the disciples slowly descend.
Her gaze finally fell on Jiang Feng.
A 29-year-old Demon Taming Emperor, could indeed be considered extraordinary.
The most difficult point on the path of Demon Taming has never been about accumulating quantity, but breaking through that point of advancement.
In terms of talent, Qi Tian from the second team was a Demon Taming General·Peak Stage early on.
However, to this day, he is already 37 or 38 years old, yet still stuck at the Demon Taming General·Peak Stage.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qi Tian might never make further progress in his lifetime.
Even during the endless cycles of failure and disappointment, high-level Demon Tamers might have their spirits worn down, causing a regression in cultivation.
It’s a sad story, and these kinds of stories are very, very common, constantly unfolding on the land of Great Xia.
While it’s regret-worthy, it’s also something one gets used to seeing.
It’s hard to say whether this is Jiang Feng’s fortune or her misfortune.
That Bottomless pit, that unique Youhan Tree, are undoubtedly Jiang Feng’s obsession.
Jiang Feng’s strike not only smashed the Cold Tree Root but also opened her window for advancement.
With a dull thud.
Jiang Feng appeared before Yang Qingqing and Du Yu, and knelt down directly.
Du Yu immediately stepped aside.
He understood what his senior sister was thinking; the revenge for the murder of her parents, her brother’s revenge, and the revenge for her Demon Pet, all needed to be avenged, Jiang Feng’s actions at this moment were obviously intentional.
But Du Yu still hadn’t cultivated "divinity", and wasn’t accustomed to such grand gestures, his evasive movement was instinctive.
Master Qing, on the other hand, could rightfully accept this bow; after all, a disciple kneeling to a master is naturally rightful.
"Stand up." Yang Qingqing said.
Jiang Feng silently lowered her head, remaining silent.
Yang Qingqing opened her mouth but eventually retracted her firm stance.
She stepped forward, bent down, placing a hand on Jiang Feng’s head, "Your task isn’t over yet, there are many Cold Trees in the world.
You’re fortunate to be able to tear down Cold Trees with your own hands.
But there are many ordinary people in this world whose destinies mirror yours, they don’t have the ability to slay their enemies.
You can empathize with them, understand their hatred and pain, you can help them achieve their heart’s long-held wishes."
Jiang Feng pursed her lips, nodding lightly.
Beside her, Du Yu marveled in his heart.
What’s called a good master?
Patient and methodical instruction, teaching according to talent!
Having destroyed this Cold Tree, does it mean all is accomplished?
No, absolutely not!
At least Jiang Feng’s heart can’t think so.
Since Jiang Feng broke through the shackles of cultivation by eliminating her obsession, Yang Qingqing gave her a clear goal and instilled a new aspiration.
The people of the Cyan Sect assist Great Xia in leveling one Bottomless after another; it is the general trend.
Since such missions must be carried out, why not let Jiang Feng benefit from them repeatedly during the conquest?
After all, Jiang Feng is a Demon Taming Emperor, not a mere Demon Tamer Prentice or Demon Tamer Journeyman; it’s not as though absorbing energy haphazardly will lead to advancement.
A Demon Taming Emperor is quite a high level, further elevation reaches the human world’s Saint; naturally, there’s even more focus on cultivating the mind!
Yang Qingqing rubbed her disciple’s head, "Alright, get up."
Jiang Feng kept her head down, silently stood up.
Yang Qingqing: "Calm your emotions; later accompany your junior brother on a task."
Jiang Feng: "Yes!"
