Celestial being

However, Yuan Ming had no intention of paying attention to Luo Wanshan. He just said to Bishuirou: "Let Island Master Liu go back alive first. If he dies here now, things will be difficult to deal with later."

Bi Shuirou's eyes also flashed with surprise, and she nodded hesitantly.

"Then I'll trouble Island Master Luo and take Island Master Liu back with you. You have to be careful on the way." Yuan Ming turned to look at Luo Wanshan and said with a smile.

When Luo Wanshan heard this, his liver and gallbladder were about to burst. He quickly responded and left in a hurry with "Master Liu".

"Tomorrow, Fellow Daoist Bishui, I will ask 'Island Master Liu' to hand over all the affairs of Liulan Island to the deputy island owner, and he will claim to travel to the outer sea. For the rest, just ask Luo Wanshan to cooperate with you." Yuan Ming warned.

With his current level of cultivation, it is no problem for the soul crow to control the corpse, but the corpse will eventually decay over time, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan's great kindness is difficult to repay. Please accept my obeisance." Seeing how thoughtful he was, Bishui Rou knew that if she didn't have Friend Yuan in front of her this time, she would definitely suffer, so she quickly bowed down and paid homage.

If it weren't for the Taoist monk Xiying beside Taoist Yuan, she would have said all the words she promised her.

"You are Xiying's friend, and you are my friend. There is no need to be so polite between friends." Yuan Ming smiled and waved his hand.

Xiying, who had been standing aside without saying much, had a slight smile on his lips.

After Bishuirou also left, Xiying suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Fellow Taoist Yuan, you have put all your thought into this for fellow Taoist Bishui, you are really very thoughtful!"

"It's just so that we can get the fairy fruit smoothly." Yuan Ming was startled when he heard this, and vaguely felt that this did not seem to be a compliment to himself, so he said quickly.

Xiying didn't look angry. She snorted, turned and left, returning to her room.

Yuan Ming touched his nose, shook his head, and walked back to the house.

After closing the door, he took out the fragment of "Jin Kui's Beast Controlling Technique" again and looked at it carefully.

About half an hour later, Yuan Ming put away the remaining pages of the book again and began to close his eyes and concentrate, meditating on the subtlety of this technique in his mind.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and raised his hand to pat the spirit beast bag on his waist.

In a flash of lightning, Leiyu's figure appeared in the house and landed at Yuan Ming's feet.

Yuan Ming connected with it and immediately informed it with his spiritual thoughts that he wanted to practice the secret art of fusion with it.

When Lei Yu learned this, he was extremely happy and flew down on Yuan Ming's shoulder in cooperation.

Yuan Ming smiled knowingly, held the Heaven Stealing Cauldron in his arms, and immediately began to activate his magic power according to the content recorded in "The Art of Controlling the Beasts of the Golden Sunflower".

The soul-melting secret technique can usually only be performed between the owner and the spirit beast. The higher the tacit understanding between the two, the higher the success rate of performing the soul-melting secret technique.

Yuan Ming has been taking care of Leiyu since he was a child. They have a close understanding and a tacit understanding. With the help of the huge will power in the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, Yuan Ming can practice extremely fast.

After just two attempts, Yuan Ming quickly transferred his magic power into Lei Yu's body, building a bridge of communication between them.

Then, Yuan Ming let Leiyu fly away from his shoulders and put some distance between them.

It turns out that connection between them has not been broken, the bridge still exists.

When Yuan Ming saw this, he was overjoyed and immediately began to formally merge spirits, trying to introduce the demonic power in Leiyu's body into his body.

When he first tried it, Lei Yu noticed that the demonic power in his body suddenly surged out. He was a little panicked for a moment, flapped his wings uneasily, and walked back and forth in the room.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Yuan Ming saw this and quickly comforted him, which made him feel relieved.

After a few breaths, the feeling of demonic power flowing out quickly disappeared, replaced by a strange feeling that the blood and meridians of one person and one beast were connected to each other, as if they were one body.

However, the spiritual thoughts of Yuan Ming and Lei Yu still exist independently and have not been integrated into one, otherwise they would have the illusion that they are truly integrated into each other.

Soon, Yuan Ming was surprised to find that after fusing the spirit, his magic power became stronger and stronger, and it was already equivalent to the level of the middle stage of pill formation.

He could feel that with just a thought of his own, their fused mana and demonic power could flow freely in his and Lei Yu's bodies like running water, becoming one unified body.

"Let's go out and give it a try." Yuan Ming smiled and patted Lei Yu on the back, and each of them quickly left the yard.

Not long after, the two figures appeared on the sea outside the island.

On the dark sea, the waves rolled, and the moonlight reflected on the water, stirring up the sparkling waves.

Yuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made magic tricks with his hands, leading the thunderstorm into the fantasy space.

He stood on Leiyu's back, stretched out his arms forward, and spread his fingers.

The next moment, a golden electric light suddenly lit up in his eyes, and a thick golden thunder branched out into dozens of electric lights, as if weaving a golden light grid, covering the front.

The golden arcs in the void covered by the power grid beat violently and collided with each other, making bursts of thunderous sounds.

Its form is not the same as the lightning magical power displayed by Leiyu, but its power is even better.

"Fusing your demonic power with my magic power, the attack range and effect have been greatly enhanced." Yuan Ming said happily.

Thunderstorm chirped happily.

Then, Yuan Ming raised his palm and raised it high into the sky. Layers of dark clouds immediately gathered together and formed a huge black thundercloud, as if the sky was rolling over.

After trying these two magical powers, Yuan Ming was very satisfied, and then tried flying again.

When he mobilized the power of thunder and lightning to try to fly, a wing-shaped thunder pattern appeared on both arms at the same time. Then his whole body was wrapped in the power of thunder and lightning, and a distance of a hundred feet was passed in an instant.

Suddenly, a figure wrapped in an electric arc appeared above the sea in the distance, and then disappeared nearby, erratic and ghostly.

When he stopped, the wing-shaped thunder marks on his arms disappeared.

"Sure enough, with the spirit-melting method of Jinkui's Beast Control Technique, I can also use the magical powers of spiritual beasts." Yuan Ming was extremely happy.

Then, he called Hua Zhi and Three-Eyed Black Dove out and informed them about the soul-melting incident.

As a disciple of Yuan Ming, Three-Eyed Wujiu naturally had no objections, while Huazhi reacted enthusiastically and expressed his desire to try it first.

Yuan Ming completed the soul fusion with the two one after another.

He was very satisfied with the results of the experiment. The realm of these two guys was higher than that of Lei Yu. After Yuan Ming merged with them, his mana increased even more obviously, almost equivalent to the level in the later stage of pill formation.

Yuan Ming praised each of the three guys a few words, comforted them, and then took them back together with Lei Yu.

Afterwards, he was relieved of the illusion and returned to his residence with satisfaction.

…

In the early morning of the next day, the third round of selection began.

Among the remaining sixteen groups of islands, one promotion spot will be determined in turn, so today's competition is obviously more intense than the previous two days.

Excluding the groups of the four second-class islands, the competition contestants sent by the other first-class islands were almost all, all late-stage pill-forming monks.

I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional, but the first four games of today’s competition are all competitions between second-class islands. The four winning islands in the previous competition, Hanjing Island, Wuyun Island, Blood Swallow Island and Golden Lotus Island, are still the winners in this competition. the winner.

In the next dozen or so competitions, the first-class islands won with overwhelming advantage.

At a quarter of the afternoon, it was finally the last match, between Yehuo Island and Hongzhi Island.

The stunning performance of Hongzhi Island before made the onlookers from many islands have some expectations for this competition.

In previous competitions, there has never been a situation where a second-class island can challenge a first-class island. Therefore, except for the monks on Luoshan Island and Liulan Island, almost all the monks on the second-class islands are secretly looking forward to the sudden rise of the Red Army. Shibashima can make history in this conference.

They are unable to resist the unfair competition system, but it does not mean that they do not have grievances about it.

Most of the first-class island monks have nothing to do with themselves. Although they know that the possibility is unlikely, they still have a vague expectation to see the joke of Yehuo Island.

These complicated thoughts quietly changed everyone's psychological expectations, and a strange scene occurred. Most people in the entire venue actually hoped that Hongzhi Island would win.

When Xu Fu announced the start of the competition, Yuan Ming took the lead and landed on the martial arts stage.

After waiting for a while, the contestant from Yehuo Island came to the martial arts stage belatedly. As he arrived, the crowd of spectators couldn't help but burst into low shouts.

"It's him. He was actually sent by Yehuo Island."

"Cui Yu, Yehuo Island actually asked Cui Yu to take action. It seems that there is no suspense in this competition..."

"Tsk tsk, Yehuo Island is obviously afraid of losing, so it actually sent Cui Yu?"

…

All kinds of noises were heard.

On the stone platform in the square, many of the people in charge of the first-class islands also expressed surprise.

The person in charge of Hongyu Island looked surprised. He looked at Yan Xiang and asked, "I remember, didn't Cui Yu's nephew go into seclusion a month ago to attack the Nascent Soul Realm? Why did he come out to participate in the competition at this time?"

"He is dull in nature and has not yet succeeded in breaking through, so he took the initiative to participate in the competition to see if he could find an opportunity to break through in actual combat." Yan Xiang replied in an unhurried tone without squinting.

When everyone heard this, they all felt contempt in their hearts.

Who doesn’t know that Cui Yu is a direct disciple of the Lord of Yehuo Island, with excellent cultivation qualifications. He has reached the peak of elixir formation before he is two hundred years old. He is the most likely person on Yehuo Island to break through to the Nascent Soul realm before he is two hundred years old. of monks.

It is said that he is stupid in nature, and only a fool would believe this high-sounding nonsense.

Moreover, when it comes to attacking the realm of Nascent Soul, how can one know whether it can be broken after a month of retreat? It is common to need to retreat for a year and a half, or even three to five years.

Yanxiang must have seen the weirdness of Hongzhi Island's competition this time and was afraid of any accidents, so he called Cui Yu out of seclusion and temporarily participated in this competition to ensure nothing went wrong.
