Chapter 1893: Chapter 1134: A Fortuitous Opportunity from the Heavens

"My master is dead. I want to find a new master," Flower Qing Pearl said.

Yang Zhenshan was stunned. "Your master is dead? Who is your master?"

"Huaqing Tree. Everyone calls him the Wanhua Demon Emperor!" Flower Qing Pearl hid nothing.

Yang Zhenshan was directly dumbfounded. "You’re saying your master is the Wanhua Demon Emperor?"

"That’s right!"

"He’s dead?"

"Mm!"

"Who killed him?"

"Chang Buzai!"

Yang Zhenshan took a deep breath. "Chang Buzai, Sect Master of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect?"

"Mm!"

"When?"

"Just now, about two hours ago!" Flower Qing Pearl looked at Yang Zhenshan, her expression very serious as she said, "Can you help me find a new master?"

Yang Zhenshan felt this impact was a bit too much.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor was dead!

This really was beyond what he had expected.

Not just a little, it exceeded his imagination.

Although he didn’t know the exact strength of the Wanhua Demon Emperor, he knew the Wanhua Demon Emperor had existed for ten thousand years already.

This wasn’t something others had told him, but something he had deduced himself.

Ever since communicating with the Five-tailed Vicious, he knew that there were many old monsters from ten thousand years ago in this world.

And the Wanhua Demon Emperor was not a normal Demon Cultivator; no one could explain his origin, and no one knew what race he was. So he was very likely one of those old monsters from ten thousand years ago.

The Flower Qing Pearl before his eyes also proved his guess.

What kind of cultivation and strength would an old monster from ten thousand years ago possess?

Golden Core Peak, or Half-step Enlightenment?

If he were only at Golden Core Peak, the Wanhua Demon Emperor shouldn’t have been able to cow all the myriad demons in the Wanhua Mountain Range.

Yang Zhenshan remained silent for a long time, finally digesting this news.

"What kind of new master are you looking for?"

"She’s right inside that great hall we were just in!"

"Inside the great hall?" Yang Zhenshan’s expression shifted slightly. There was only one person inside the great hall, and that was Yu Qingyi.

Aside from Yu Qingyi, there was currently no one else in the Longevity Hall.

Yu Qingyi was in seclusion, Yang Zhenshan was doing Alchemy in the Pill Hall, and there was nothing else to be done in the Longevity Hall. Red Cloud and Qingxia were in the Immortal Government handling affairs, and the others responsible for serving had all gone off to cultivate.

This fellow actually wanted Yu Qingyi as her new master!

"Why do you want her as your new master?"

"Because her attainments on the Path of Spirit Giving are the highest in the entire Wanhua Domain!"

"Path of Spirit Giving?" Yang Zhenshan suddenly understood.

The Path of Spirit Giving originated from the Wanhua Demon Emperor; he had verified this long ago.

What kind of new master a Spiritual Treasure wanted to find was entirely up to its own will.

It could choose a new master who had reached a certain height in some Dao intent, or it could choose a new master with no cultivation at all. It could even choose not to find a new master at all, and just find a place to hide.

A Spiritual Treasure is not a Spiritual Artifact. A Spiritual Artifact without a master will lose all its power and can only fall into slumber.

But even without a master, a Spiritual Treasure can still absorb Spiritual Energy, store power, and do whatever it wants—of course, on the premise that it doesn’t run into a Golden Core Cultivator.

A masterless Spiritual Treasure can indeed unleash formidable might, but compared to a Spiritual Treasure with a master, it is vastly inferior.

If it runs into a Golden Core Cultivator, it might very well be captured.

Once it falls into a cultivator’s hands, it loses its freedom.

That Flower Qing Pearl actually wanted to acknowledge Yu Qingyi as her new master greatly exceeded Yang Zhenshan’s expectations.

But the world is full of uncertainty; some things are just that unexpected.

Heaven-sent opportunity is not something incomprehensible.

As for stopping it.

What a joke—why would Yang Zhenshan stop it?

This is a Spiritual Treasure!

A genuine Spiritual Treasure!

Yu Qingyi had formed her core through the path of Martial Arts; her Golden Core was no different from that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator undergoing Core Formation.

Her Golden Core was round and flawless, and she had also comprehended Dao intent belonging to herself. Compared with a Fake Pill formed using a Nine Tripod Divine Pill, it was much stronger.

However, Martial Artists forming cores also had their drawbacks. The greatest drawback was that Yu Qingyi had no Lifebound Spiritual Artifact. She originally had no lifebound magic treasure, so naturally she now had no Lifebound Spiritual Artifact.

But if Flower Qing Pearl was willing to recognize Yu Qingyi as her master, then the shortcoming of Yu Qingyi lacking a Lifebound Spiritual Artifact would be made up. With Flower Qing Pearl’s full support added in, Yu Qingyi’s future path could be said to be boundlessly bright.

Golden Core Peak would no longer be a luxury, and Half-step Enlightenment would not be beyond reach.

"Recognizing a master is fine, but you have to wait a bit longer!" Yang Zhenshan’s eyes flashed as a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Wait for what?" Flower Qing Pearl asked in confusion, her manner adorably dazed.

She was an Artifact Spirit, an Artifact Spirit that had existed for ten thousand years, yet she was as ignorant as a toddler.

Just think about it and it makes sense.

The Wanhua Demon Emperor had stayed in the Demon Ruins for ten thousand years, basically never going out.

Flower Qing Pearl had always followed the Wanhua Demon Emperor, so naturally she had rarely gone out as well.

Simply put, she’d never seen the world—a wasted ten-plus thousand years of life.

"She’s in seclusion. After she comes out, I’ll take you to find her!" Yang Zhenshan said.

Flower Qing Pearl lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Alright!"

She had merely not seen the world; she wasn’t stupid.

One must bow to circumstances!

Falling into Yang Zhenshan’s hands, she had no ability to resist.

Although she couldn’t probe Yang Zhenshan’s cultivation, she could feel that the fellow before her wasn’t much weaker than her previous master.

Facing such a powerful existence, she didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

Thus, she obediently stayed inside the Pill Hall.

Yang Zhenshan was still doing Alchemy and had no spare energy to pay attention to her, so he just let her stay in the Pill Hall.

...

Wanhua Mountain Range.

The vast army of Ghost Soldiers crossed layer upon layer of mountain ridges, advancing all the way south. They soon entered the heart of the Central Mountain Area, which was also the heart of the Wanhua Demon Court.
