She became a god

As everyone knows, only the Lu family of Yingdu in the Yunying Continent possesses the spiritual root of time and space.

Upon closer examination, if a cultivator were to alter the spacetime of Dazhu Peak, then this senior must be related to Ye Qingzhou by blood.

Ye Qingzhou could easily guess the demons' little schemes. She smiled and said, "My father once said that there are four ways to change time and space: one is the Heavenly Dao, two is the gods, three is the Lu clan elites, and four is the master of time-space attribute magic treasures. If Dazhu Peak has really had its time and space altered by a powerful being with profound magic, I am very curious to know which category this senior belongs to?"

Ye Qingzhou spoke calmly and without the slightest hint of panic, indicating that this matter had little to do with her.

Little did she know that Ye Qingzhou's heart was already in turmoil. If Yuantong hadn't gone to the Nine Netherworld Secret Realm, she would have really suspected that Yuantong was behind this.

Besides Yuantong, who else in this world can possess both a spacetime spiritual root and a spacetime attribute magic weapon at the same time?

However, if this matter is indeed related to Yuantong, then her trip is perfectly safe.

Just play it by ear; if you need to run, then run.

"Actually, I'm more curious about Fellow Daoist Hu Ling than these things. The information you've provided doesn't seem sufficient as evidence for taking the initiative. If Fellow Daoist Hu Ling has any insights, please feel free to speak them; I'll be all ears."

Hu Ling glanced at Ye Qingzhou with a smile, "If I scare you, don't come asking me for candy."

Their words clearly implied that they viewed Ye Qingzhou as a cowardly and weak person.

In response, Ye Qingzhou said, "You're right, after all, life comes first."

"I have plenty of sugar, why would I need to trouble you, fellow Daoist?"

Hu Ling laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason the ghosts are targeting the Iron-Eating Beast Clan is because of the Flying Bamboo, right?"

Legend has it that consuming the leaves of the flying bamboo can give you wings to soar through the sky, and consuming its shoots can allow you to fly into the deep sky.

Unfortunately, this creature became extinct during the battle against evil ten thousand years ago.

However, judging from Hu Ling's words, the Iron-Eating Beast clan must have used some methods to make the extinct Flying Bamboo reappear in the Six Realms.

In front of the demons, Xuan Song knew that she would make a mistake if she said too much, so she simply admitted, "Yes, my clan has recently been fortunate enough to discover a young Flying Bamboo seedling."

Long Yi discovered the blind spot: "Since it's still just a seedling, isn't it a bit too early for the ghost to come knocking?"

Isn't that right? If the real goal was to return to heaven, they should have waited until the bamboo grew up before stealing the bamboo leaves. Why torture and kill the iron-eating beast?

Killing iron-eating beasts won't get you bamboo leaves, and it will also alert cultivators. Do these ghosts' brains rust after they die?

After listening to Long Yi's analysis, all the demons fell silent.

After a short while, Ye Qingzhou said, "You're right, they torture and kill iron-eating beasts just to exchange for bamboo leaves."

"If all the information we have is true, then the only motive that could induce them to kill the iron-eating beasts is to exchange for the leaves of the flying bamboo so that they can go home."

Long Yi was stunned. She hadn't expected that her casual remark would be taken seriously and analyzed by Ye Qingzhou.

"The question is, why do they think that killing iron-eating beasts will earn them bamboo leaves?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled slightly, "Regarding this question, I think Fellow Daoist Hu Ling and Fellow Daoist Xuan Song both have their own answers. Why don't you share them with Fellow Daoist Long Yi and me?"

Hu Ling spoke first, "In the cultivation world, time is not measured in years. When Fellow Daoist Xuan Song speaks of 'recent times,' do you mean a few years ago or several decades ago?"

Xuan Song sighed softly, "The three of you are exceptionally intelligent, having already guessed half of the matter."

Long Yi said with a stern face, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Song, we have all come here sincerely to help you. What is it that you can't say? Why do you have to be so secretive and make us guess?"
