Mysterious mirror hanging high

In an unknown remote valley in the Yunchuan region, Yuwen Baoge was half-kneeling on the ground, carefully carving a stone tablet with his natal golden spear.

Jing Yu stood behind it and looked carefully, only to see a few crooked big characters written on it: "Tomb of Old Li."

Perhaps it was because Jin Ge was not good at carving the words, or perhaps it was because Yuwen Baoge was devoted to spiritual practice and did not delve too much into calligraphy. These words were written horribly, as if they were the casual work of a few-year-old child.

Yuwen Baoge placed two pancakes in front of the tomb, sighed, and stared at the bluestone stele in front of him in a daze.

"Sir..." Jing Yu hesitated, "What are your plans next?"

Yuwen Baoge's voice was rather desolate. "I intend to return to [Xuandu Heaven]... My past cultivation was too smooth, and I neglected the cultivation of my mind. How can I achieve Divine Transformation at this rate? Forget about achieving a proper Divine Transformation, even a lame Divine Transformation like my ancestor is hard to come by."

"What about Yunchuan Territory?"

"What else can we do? Yunchuan Territory has fallen, and my Yuwen family has failed to hold the front line. The agreement with the Penglai righteous path is now dead in name only..."

Yuwen Baoge said dejectedly, "Although I have advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, compared to the Tiannan Demonic Path's northward momentum, I am still no match for them. Why should I wait here to die?"

Jing Yu said thoughtfully, "Sir, that's not the case."

"Qiu Dongxuan has disrupted Penglai. Now everyone in the righteous path of Zhongzhou is in danger. The Sword Pavilion, one of the three great pavilions, has been destroyed. The morale of the righteous forces in Penglai is unsettled. Now is the time to seek external aid. They will only need the support of the Yuwen family more than ever. There is still much room for cooperation between the two sides."

Yuwen Baoge was stunned: "Is it possible?"

"But it's a good thing for you to return to your clan and calm down." Jing Yu pondered, "It's a good opportunity to consolidate your cultivation. Once you have reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, you can travel. Aside from the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch, few in the world can threaten your life."

"However, before you return to [Xuandu Heaven], Xuan Jing has one more request."

Yuwen Baoge said, "Xuan Jing has saved my life time and time again, so why should I be so polite? If you have anything to say, just say it directly!"

Jing Yu bowed and said, "Xuan Jing has a relative who may be trapped in Shen Ding Tian. If it is your Excellency's turn, can you take Xuan Jing into Shen Ding Tian?"

Yuwen Baoge frowned and said, "This matter... I really can't help you!"

Jing Yu was stunned: "Why is this?"

Yuwen Baoge said in a deep voice, "You don't know that the Shending Immortal Dynasty is located high in the Shending Heaven. The eight most powerful families under its rule are the families of the Eight Divine Generals who founded the country."

"If it had happened a few thousand years earlier, it would have been fine. But now, one of the eight great families has openly rebelled against the Divine Cauldron Heaven, and two families have dwindled to dwindling numbers... Two families are superficially aligned with the Divine Cauldron Immortal Dynasty, but in reality, only three families remain diehard loyal to the Divine Cauldron."

"The Yuwen family has now fled far from [Xuandu Heaven] and has long been in a state of obeying orders but not instructions. The Shending Immortal Dynasty has long been dissatisfied with the Yuwen family."

Yuwen Baoge said self-deprecatingly, "I am the number one Divine Transformation Seed of the Yuwen family. If I bring you to Shending Heaven, I'm afraid the Divine Transformation old monsters of the Shending Immortal Dynasty's royal family will immediately arrest you and me!"

"I understand... Then could you please tell me how to enter [Shen Ding Tian]? Xuan Jing will figure it out on his own."

Yuwen Baoge gave Jing Yu a jade slip and warned him, "The Shending Immortal Dynasty has been implementing the [household registration system] for tens of thousands of years. Those without a household registration in Shending Heaven are considered [illegal households], making it difficult for them to move forward. Don't be impulsive."

At the end, he even said, "Xuan Jing, why don't you return with me to [Xuandu Heaven] to cultivate? It's isolated from the real world and absolutely safe there. Plus, there's no shortage of cultivation resources, which is enough for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. However, Xuan Jing still has a lot of things to do in the world. In addition, the Yuwen family is also short of someone to provide information in Zhongzhou. Xuan Jing now has some position in Zhongzhou, so he can serve as the eyes and ears..." Jing Yu declined politely.

"In that case, I won't advise you anymore."

Yuwen Baoge also left Jing Yu with a lot of cultivation supplies and life-saving methods, and then he cut through the void and disappeared without a trace.

Only Jing Yu was left sitting cross-legged in the valley, frowning and thinking hard.

"Hahahahaha!"

Yunding Tianjun's laughter echoed through his sea of ​​consciousness: "The Divine Cauldron Imperial Family is truly becoming increasingly degenerate. When I was still alive, the eight great families were still obedient. Now, thousands of years have passed, and I never imagined the situation has deteriorated to this point!"

"But that silly roe deer can no longer be relied upon. Apart from cooperating with me, what else can you do?"

Jing Yu secretly stroked the jade slip left by Yuwen Baoge and said abruptly, "Old Ghost Ying, we can cooperate, but you are a Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch after all. Once you recover your spiritual power and turn to the ghost path, how can I, a mere Jindan cultivator, be your opponent?"

"I can't trust you unless you swear a vow to your demons."

"That's natural," Yunding Tianjun said cautiously, "Only after you and I swear a vow to each other, will I be able to rest assured..."

"it is good!"

Jing Yu said simply, "The Inner Demon Oath is the most reliable guarantee in the world. We will make the most stringent one. If anyone violates it, the external demon will immediately invade the body and destroy the soul!"

"You're so cruel, kid! But I'll follow you!" Yunding Tianjun grinned.

The two of them finalized a watertight, flawless inner demon contract and swore an oath to each other. Only then did Yunding Tianjun feel relieved and finally revealed some real stuff:

"I will teach you a secret technique for sensing the blood of the Divine Cauldron over a large area. With this technique, you can sense the descendants of the Divine Cauldron Emperor active in the present world, as well as the core spies who have been implanted with the Divine Cauldron Emperor's blood."

"At that time, as long as we kill the other party and take his identity, we can sneak into Shendingtian."

Jing Yu looked at me with disdain: "Old Ghost Ying, is this the method you mentioned? I thought you could just secretly send me to Shen Ding Tian without anyone noticing."

"What's the big deal?" Yunding Tianjun said calmly, "Didn't that idiot say that? Without an identity, you can't even take a single step in Shending Heaven. If you don't have a verifiable identity, the inspectors will find out sooner or later."

The secret method that Yunding Tianjun gave to Jing Yu was not difficult to practice. Jing Yu only took a rough look at it and understood it clearly. He mastered it directly. Then he used the secret method, made a seal with his hands, and a bright red spot appeared between his eyebrows, flickering.

After a moment, Jing Yu opened his eyes and looked into the distance. "I've found someone... and the sensation is extremely strong, which means that this person has a very strong Divine Cauldron bloodline..."

"This person's direction is..."

"The territory where the Penglai demon tribe lives."

"One Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
