This was the first time Yun Yici had ever seen Qingqiu at night.

They are now on high ground, but the noise of the city can still reach their ears.

Yun Yici saw that the city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was filled with joy, just like the human world during the New Year.

Strangely, the cloud beast flew neither in the inner city of Qingqiu nor in Bai Wu's demon king's mansion, which they had visited before, but rather upwards.

Gradually, the cheerful inner city receded into the distance, becoming a small microcosm.

Yun Yici watched as the clouds rose higher and higher, and the bright silver moon seemed almost within reach, while the cloud beast was draped in a layer of pale silver light.

She almost thought the cloud beast was going to take them to the moon.

Fortunately, the cloud beast began to fly steadily after reaching a certain altitude.

Yun Yici silently calculated the time. After flying for about half an hour, a vibrant green suddenly appeared in the night.

When the cloud beast stopped, Yun Yici followed Li Ji off the carriage, still feeling dizzy.

They are now in a completely different world.

The outer city is land, the inner city is in the sky, and unexpectedly, there is another layer above the inner city.

Yun Yici was full of praise for this. Looking around, he saw that the outermost circle of this place was clouds, and they were standing on a green field.

In the center of the green space, a lush, drooping, towering ancient tree stands.

Its crown was lush and its branches swayed gently. Yun Yici looked at it again and again, but could not tell that the ancient tree was about to bloom.

"Hey, are you looking at me?"

Yun Yici: Am I seeing a ghost??

She quickly looked around and saw that Wen Fuyue and the others had gotten out of their car. She also took in the surrounding environment.

Besides them, there were also many demon cultivators who had arrived earlier, mostly in pairs of one large and one small.

This group of people can be described as an anomaly.

Even the Tiger Clan Chief Li Zheng and his two children were there, but this time, Yun Yici noticed that the thin little girl had changed from wearing black to wearing white.

Upon seeing them, Li Zheng actually approached them and said to Li Ji with a forced smile, "What? Are these all candidates that the Snake Mother wants to recommend for the Moon Worship Festival?"

Yun Yici glanced at Mu Yunjian subconsciously. To her surprise, Mu Yunjian not only did not show any anger, but his expression was extremely calm.

Li Ji knew that Li Zheng was picking a fight because he was still upset about her previous rejection.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "I can bring as many people as I want, what's it to you?"

According to a saying that has been passed down from who knows where, during the main moon worship festival, the closer one is to the sacred tree when its flowers are in full bloom, the more likely they are to receive its favor.

Actually, the sacred tree rarely sees outsiders, and the priest said that letting it see young people would make it happier.

Therefore, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for Bai Wu to allow these foreign races into their holy land.

Li Ji still harbored a faint hope of going to the human race and intended to curry favor with Wen Fuyue and the others, so she told Bai Wu in advance that she would bring Wen Fuyue and the others here to take a look.

Bai Wu thought it wouldn't have much of an impact and would even give the divine tree something new to see, so she readily agreed.

After Li Ji finished speaking, she looked at the young man behind Li Zheng who shared the same hatred for the enemy, and said, "Did Clan Chief Li Zheng manage to secure the recommendation position?"

The two powerful demons were on the verge of exchanging blows when a fox maiden serving nearby saw this and quickly went to fetch a fox clan elder to mediate.

Yun Yici and his disciples, disregarding Hu Zheng, were all worried and concerned about Mu Yunjian's every move.

Throughout the entire process, Mu Yunjian kept his head up, and his calm demeanor earned him a higher regard from the emperor.

At this moment, Li Zheng was completely unaware that among this group of cultivators was a demon with whom he had a blood feud.

His attention was completely drawn to Li Ji.

If Li Ji were still temporarily serving as the Demon King of Jiuqi City, he might have given way a little.

However, after leaving Jiuqi City, Li Ji was no longer the clan leader, and even if she was outstanding, she had no right to recommend her juniors to participate in the Moon Worship Festival.

It's unclear what kind of luck it was, but they managed to persuade Shi Tian to give the Jiuqi City spot to a demon.

Yun Yici was listening to the well-dressed fox clan elder mediate the conflict between Li Ji and Li Zheng.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard a voice in her ear: "Why are you ignoring me even though you can clearly hear me?"

Yun Yici was truly astonished. She was certain she hadn't misheard; there was indeed a voice from beyond the heavens speaking to her.

And this time she heard it clearly; the voice sounded a bit like a young, innocent girl.

Even the newly transformed demons here all appear as young boys and girls; there are no little girls at all.

She thought of a somewhat unlikely possibility.

Yun Yici looked up at the divine tree in the middle of the green space and whispered to herself, "Are you a divine tree?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the leaves of the sacred tree swayed gently as if blown by the wind, as if nodding in affirmation.

The childish voice said, "I can only talk to Aruo. You are the second person who can hear me."

"The man next to you used to be able to hear me, but now he can't hear me anymore."

Yun Yici turned her head and happened to see Shen Huaichuan standing behind her. Shen Huaichuan's eyes were empty, but he was looking in the direction of the divine tree.

Yun Yici thought to herself, "Are you talking about Senior Shen Huaichuan? He encountered some trouble and his cultivation is temporarily suppressed, so he can't hear you."

"If there's anything you want to tell him, I can pass it on for you."

The divine tree said, "No need. The beginning and end of a relationship are inevitable. Since we can no longer communicate, it means our connection has ended."

Yun Yici was stunned for a moment, and many questions she wanted to ask the divine tree suddenly got stuck in her mind.

She couldn't help but think that if she could communicate with the divine tree through her thoughts, wouldn't the divine tree know everything she was thinking?

The thought had barely crossed Yun Yici's mind when the divine tree affirmed, "Yes, I know what you're thinking."

"You want to ask me how old I am? I don't know either. Anyway, I was here before these little foxes appeared."

"You want to ask me how I selected the demon cultivators to participate in the blessing ceremony? Actually, I see that each of you has a spot of light on you. Some people have very bright spots of light, some people have very dim spots of light, and some people have no light at all."

"I can't control my flowers; they're attracted to people who are very glamorous."

Yun Yici's thoughts had barely shifted when the divine tree laughed: "You want to ask if your senior brother has any light on him?"

"Among you all, you shine the brightest, followed by that man who once heard me speak, Little Phoenix, the young man in white carrying a sword..."

"As for your senior brother, there isn't one."

"Among you all, only he has no light, not even a little bit."

Yun Yici's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Mu Yunjian.

He was looking at the three chieftains of the Tiger Clan, calm and composed. Even when Li Ji introduced him to the three of them, he smiled gently and harmlessly.
