Chapter 579: Chapter 180: The Struggle Between the Snake and the Bird

"Obviously, Shuo Yueying’s dragon transformation secret technique was obtained from Jin Yanhua. As members of the same team, King Jing and Jin Yanhua naturally help each other cultivate their subordinates. Shuo Yueying is the Dragon and Snake General under King Jing, and there must be the Human Clan warriors cultivated with the help of Jin Yanhua on her side."

"An Jing could see that Shuo Yueying was targeted so severely because he was a subordinate of King Jing, but he himself didn’t feel much about it, thinking it was just bad luck, still complaining."

"Although I’ve been unlucky for so long, it’s also a blessing in disguise," he said. "The Exalted Great Heavenly Demon beneath Broken Blade Mountain is the ’Bitter Silence,’ one of the four top Exalted Great Heavenly Demons that once swept across Embracing the Void. As for the one from the Hanhai Demon Disaster, ’Ai Xin,’ they’re a notch below but also a rare Exalted Great Heavenly Demon."

"Many may know about the former, but the latter should be unknown to anyone aside from Da Chen... Getting this information about the Great Heavenly Demon is a huge win for us!"

Even though Shuo Yueying was severely injured, he was quite excited at this moment.

For him, acquiring the information of a secret Heavenly Demon that no one else knows was a huge profit, to the extent that he could accept being seriously injured, on the brink of death due to Demonic Qi erosion, and having to undergo transformation multiple times.

At this point, Shuo Yueying looked at the Immaculate Wood, slightly puzzled, but still sincerely apologized: "Regarding the Immaculate Wood, it initially lacked Spiritual Wisdom, so I thought, since I left it with its main body and only used a few leaves to ripen it, and adjusted the environment of the Primordial Spirit Cave Heaven Ring with it, it can’t be considered exploitation, right?"

"After it awakened Spiritual Wisdom and continuously prevented me from exploring the Earth Vein and checking for Demonic Qi leaks, I was too anxious to advance, so I had to use it to deduce the Demon Core and refine the Golden Qi — Imperial Heaven Earth, I didn’t even take away the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus, this naturally formed Divine Weapon was left for it, it’s really not oppression!"

Shuo Yueying’s voice trembled with a sense of grievance; he truly felt he had done well enough.

— This demon is too young, it simply doesn’t understand that some fruits hanging on the tree will only drain nutrients, a case of good intentions leading to bad outcomes.

Hearing this, An Jing understood. In essence, Shuo Yueying’s mistakes were due to his youth; he hadn’t thought more deeply, just acted according to instinct and feelings, and then problems arose.

But in Embracing the Void, one cannot be too demanding indeed; many people who harvest Spiritual Objects don’t even spare the roots, let alone leave behind the ’fruits.’

But why the rush to advance?

Before An Jing could voice his confusion, Jin Yanhua next to him offered an explanation: "So that’s how it is, Shuo, it’s because of the mission in the Southern Wilderness, right? Ming Fei’s place indeed lacks manpower, and Divine Repository can’t be much help, so you want to manifest holiness quickly to lend him a hand."

"Yes, yes," Shuo Yueying nodded repeatedly: "The living beings at Ming Fei’s place are suffering terribly, one Demon Disaster after another is occurring, and the great calamity has already begun, there must be a force behind it... If we don’t manifest holiness soon, many major missions will be hard to accomplish."

Saying this, he even began to urge the others: "Jin, you should also manifest holiness soon. With your secret techniques, once you advance, you will probably reach the realm of ’Divine Eternal Truth’ (a higher state within Manifesting Holy)... Even if I succeeded in advancing, I wouldn’t be a match for you, but once you manifest holiness, you’ll be able to traverse the Great Void Shuttle Cave Heavens, and many things will be more convenient!"

"I am indeed considering it."

Jin Yanhua’s brows furrowed slightly, her Secret Technique ’Nine Tribulations Ascension’ could allow her to condense the Dao True Intent through the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. Once the Nine Tribulations were completed, she could even touch the fringes of what is known as [Daoist Eternal]. The main issue was that it was too time-consuming, and it required the protection of a large organization, else the period of weakness after transcending tribulations would be too dangerous, and such tribulations truly could not be endured by someone who wasn’t a dragon.

"Let’s just drop it."

By this time, the Immaculate Wood was also worn out. Jin Yanhua raised her hand, a gentle flow of Spirit Qi was sent forth, invigorating the little tree with a bit of energy: "I see you’re also tired from fighting, let’s call it a day for now. You were an outsider before, and Shuo did indeed act improperly, but he really didn’t harm your foundation. Now that you’ve joined Endless Heavens, you’re one of us. Later, I will have him sincerely apologize to you and make some amends for the Merit you’ve lost."

"Did you hear that, Shuo?"

Jin Yanhua’s words were not up for negotiation but commands directed at Shuo Yueying and the Immaculate Wood. However, the Immaculate Wood accepted her decision, shaking its branches as a sign of agreement, while Shuo Yueying didn’t need to be asked, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief: "Of course, don’t worry about it, Jin!"

Ultimately, since the Immaculate Wood had joined Endless Heavens, they would all be part of the same team in the future. These minor conflicts prior to joining the Endless Heavens would naturally be resolved if possible. If someone insisted on dwelling upon them, it would pose too great a harm to the team, which would be bad for both parties.

The Immaculate Wood was not dumb, just incapable of speech. Both a dragon and a half-dragon on the verge of Manifesting Holy spoke to it in good terms, and it had let off some steam already, so of course, it would stop while it was ahead.

"Eh, are there two newcomers at once this time?"

At this moment, a rather languid and coquettish voice rang out, accompanied by a silver-blue radiance, another figure appeared on the platform: "Looks like Endless Heavens also realized our shortage of hands and has started sending fresh seeds."

As the light receded, the figure materialized, revealing a lavish-looking young girl. She was petite with a pretty face and had flame-feathered hair that draped over her shoulders. The long ear feathers interwove with her sideburns, mostly covering her snow-white neck, and her eyes, bright with fiery golden brilliance, shimmered with a hint of spirited craftiness.

"Oh dear."

This young girl floated in the air, as if she had just woken up. Upon seeing Shuo Yueying, she covered her mouth with a dainty surprise: "Tuo Tuo Snake, what are you doing here? I thought with your long absence, you must have been flensed, dismembered, and chewed to bits by the Heavenly Demon, truly turned into a blob."

Shuo Yueying felt guilty toward the Immaculate Wood, and being a junior among juniors to Jin Yanhua, he was very polite to her and genuinely resembled a True Person of the Dao. However, when encountering this young girl, he lost his composure, jumping three feet high in retort: "Shut up, I am not Tuo Tuo Snake. In fact, you’re the miscellaneous fishy bird almost caught by a fish. What happened to helping me? I waited for you for three years, and this is how you treat me!"

"Ha? I didn’t help you?"

Upon hearing this, the Divine Bird girl raised her eyebrows, hands on hips, and retorted rather displeased: "Who provided the intelligence? Who delivered the resources? If I hadn’t helped you find the ’Nirvana Shedding’ Secret Technique materials, could your brainless snake self undergo so many moltings while staying in Northern Border? Truly, no good deed goes unpunished!"

"What I needed was for you to come over and help me personally, I wasn’t lacking materials!"

"Ha, what a huge and greedy heart. Miss I am busy fighting in the South and the North, when do I have the time to cross half the continent to help you accomplish your own tasks?"

When this snake and bird came together, they argued fiercely, with both turning red and heatedly debating, completely ignoring An Jing, the Immaculate Wood, and Jin Yanhua—one person, one tree, one dragon.
