Chapter 1249 - 782: On the Matter of Ceasing to Be Human

After properly explaining everything, Du Yu held Little You Ying and retreated to Lin Shiwei’s side.

While watching the Firethorn Tree undergo special training, he asked, "How’s Aunt Su?"

"She’s doing well," Lin Shiwei said softly. "My dad arranged a place, and the Demon Pets are getting used to living there. The Maple Trees have also been planted in the new Paradise."

Du Yu’s face lit up with a smile, "Seeing the Maple Trees again must have made Aunt Su happy."

"Yes, she’s very happy," Lin Shiwei smiled as well.

The trip to the new home in the provincial capital left Lin Shiwei with many feelings.

She had always believed that the purpose of increasing strength was to destroy enemies and protect those around her.

But when she used the world’s top Spiritual Artifacts to transport the Maple Trees to the new Demon Pet Paradise, her mother’s joyous smile gave the girl another answer.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of Demon Taming.

Whether it’s for battle or for protection, isn’t the ultimate purpose the joy and smiles of certain people?

Thinking this, Lin Shiwei turned to look at Du Yu.

On his face, the girl saw the smile she desired.

Clean, pure.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a surge of turbulent energy emanated from Du Yu’s body.

The two were initially startled, but soon Du Yu’s expression turned to joy.

In the Forehead Acupoint, Hu Xiaoyan was stretching languidly, her five long tails swaying gently, incredibly beautiful.

Little Fen Yang appeared in front of Xiaoyan, reaching out with little hands to hug the fiery red fox head, "Xiaoyan is amazing~ You’ve grown again!"

"Ying~" Hu Xiaoyan moaned softly, full of enjoyment.

"Xiaoyan is about to level up," Du Yu explained to Lin Shiwei.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" The Divine Ghost Firefly immediately scattered flowers, holding a big torch while circling Du Yu.

In great spirits, Du Yu laughed, "This guy, never misses a single chance, huh?"

The Divine Ghost Firefly flew up and down, bouncing around, "Xiaoyan! Xiaoyan! Xiaoyan!"

"Alright, come back for benefits first, celebrate later," Du Yu grabbed the "cheerleader," pressing it into the Xuanji Acupoint on his chest.

He looked ahead, "You two train well, no slacking!"

As the branches of the Firethorn Tree swayed, Du Yu immediately flipped his hand, activated the Mountain and Sea Bell, and took Lin Shiwei to the Mountain Realm.

He directly descended towards the Peak of All Mountains, plunging into the Jia Rong Grass, and immediately began to meditate.

Compared to the human race, the leveling process of Demon Pets is undoubtedly smoother.

Even though Prince Yan was advancing from Demon General·Minor Success Stage to Great Success Stage, it only took a few short hours.

With a surge of dense Fire Demon Breath, the beautiful Demon Fox within the Forehead Acupoint kicked open the threshold of the Great Success Stage and rushed in with a bang.

"Ying!" The moment the promotion succeeded, Hu Xiaoyan left the acupoint and fell into Du Yu’s arms.

Similarly, Little You Ying also darted out, continuing its unfinished grand celebration.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" Flame Runes spread out, surrounding the person and the fox.

Not only did You Ying circle around itself, but it also spun the Rune Ring on its body...

"Ying~" Hu Xiaoyan placed her little paws on Du Yu’s chest, lifting her fiery red fox head, her amber fox eyes gazing at Du Yu.

So tender, seductive eyes like silk.

Du Yu: "..."

Truth be told, spending every day with the beautiful Demon Fox, he should have developed some "tolerance."

But the problem is, this little vixen is just too enchanting!

It’s simply unfair!

How can there be such a beautiful fox in this world...

Seemingly aware of Du Yu’s thoughts, Hu Xiaoyan felt aggrieved, "My lord~"

Du Yu raised an eyebrow, "Demon, shut up."

The beautiful Demon Fox looked pitiful, leaning forward with her fox head, nuzzling Du Yu’s cheek, "Don’t be mean to me~"

Du Yu felt numb, unable to say any more words of scolding.

"Pfft... Haha~" Little Fen Yang burst into laughter, "Silly Du Yu, just got a sharp tongue?"

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!" The Divine Ghost Firefly continued spinning, sprinkling spots of firefly green starlight from the torch it held.

In the nearby grass, Lin Shiwei quietly watched this scene, her face adorned with a faint smile, looking at this warm moment.

Unexpectedly for Du Yu, the previously silent Shadow Gu Tower suddenly reached out.

"Master."

"Hmm? Little Tower?" Not having heard this unique voice in a while, Du Yu responded promptly.

"The Demon Souls in the tower have mostly been refined," the Shadow Gu Tower reported.

"Ah..." Du Yu tapped his forehead with a finger, how did he forget about this!

He should have absorbed more Cold Beast Demon Souls back at the Asa Battlefield.

Now that the Shadow Gu Tower has been fully restored to its peak power and has entered a cultivation phase—to further consolidate its defenses and enhance its power.

As a result, the Shadow Gu Tower requires a significant amount of Demon Souls, and the refining speed of the Demon Souls is incredibly fast.

"We’re soon going to clear out another Bottomless Abyss, and I’ll absorb more Demon Souls then," Du Yu continued, "In the meantime, I’ll train under the Twin Trees. Little Tower, you first use Spiritual Qi to strengthen yourself, okay?"

"Everything will follow Master’s arrangements," the Shadow Gu Tower replied.

Holding the beautiful Demon Fox in his arms, Du Yu turned to Lin Shiwei, "I’m planning to meditate under the Twin Trees, how about you?"

"Let’s go," Lin Shiwei nodded.

At the level everyone has reached, they can practice both Spirit Cultivation and Demon Taming under the Twin Trees without any issue.

If there’s help from Ancient Spiritual Artifacts, the effect would be even better.

For example, Lin Shiwei’s Black Python Robe that devours everything.

Similarly, Du Yu could also rely on such artifacts, but with the Shadow Gu Tower out of commission, he has to rely on himself for the moment.

Regarding the role of Spirit Master, Du Yu urgently needs to advance two more small tiers to reach the Spirit Master·Great Success Stage.

In this way, Du Yu can get rid of the embarrassment of only being able to swing his axe blade once.

Of course, the premise is that Du Yu is traversing within this world.

If he were to go to the Ashen Continent, the amount of Spiritual Qi needed would be much greater than in the Demon Taming World.

At this point, Yu and Wei began a focused cultivation mode and were also waiting for the call of the Great Xia Demon Spirit Squad.

It is said that there are no years in the mountains.

For this saying, Du Yu feels it more and more deeply.

Whether it’s Spirit Cultivation or Demon Cultivation, both are tempering the cultivator’s temperament, after all, people can sit for several days at a time, and no matter how restless one is, patience will gradually be developed.

As time moved to early December, everyone from the Cyan Sect had long since returned and gathered under the Twin Trees in the Mountain Realm.

It is worth mentioning that Senior Brother Fu was the last to return to the team.

Having successfully advanced to the Peak Stage of the Demon Taming General, he was full of vigor, and he brought something incredible with him—the Cold Lake Sword!

The Holy Soldier recognizing its master, none can obstruct it.

Moreover, Fu Jianzhou, under Master Qing, contracting the Cold Lake Sword, for this warrior who has done his utmost for Great Xia, the Great Xia Bookstore could not possibly obstruct Fu Jianzhou from contracting the Holy Soldier.

The only problem is...

In Master Qing’s wrist acupoint, there is a Mountain Fire Saber stored!

Enemies are fated to meet~

As for this saber and sword, Master Qing and the disciple with the surname Fu are rather troubled.

They also dared not let the saber and sword meet.

But always going on like this is ultimately not a solution...

Just when everyone was secretly troubled and thinking hard for a countermeasure, on December 8th, the Great Xia Demon Spirit Squad contacted the Twenty-Ninth Bureau.

The military had already selected a location, in Xiangyang City, Ebei Province.

Seeing this place, Du Yu’s thoughts immediately became active. Isn’t Ebei next to Wanhui Province?

After completing the mission, might he detour to Fengyang City to find some Zhongli clansmen, and find a few fine horses to ride...

It’s just unknown whether this group of Zhongli clansmen is easy to talk to.

If this king shamelessly insists he has old ties with the Great Xia Seven Saints·White Horse Silver Spear, the Zhongli race might give him some face?

With such thoughts, Du Yu, Master Qing, and others arrived at the Ancient Pine Tower East City Camp and together boarded a military aircraft flying to Xiangyang City.

It’s really hard to imagine that Du Yu is going to chop Cold Trees.

Because while executing this world’s top-level task, his mind was full of big white horses...

If the Youhan Tree knew this, it would probably explode on the spot!

Your axe is about to chop onto me, but your heart is still thinking about others?

That day, in the afternoon, the military aircraft arrived at a military airfield in the north of Xiangyang City.

As the military aircraft decelerated on the runway and slowly came to a stop, Yang Qingqing was the first to stand up.

She looked at the disciples in the cabin: "Everyone prepare. It is said that this bottomless abyss was carefully selected by Great Xia specifically for us."

"How carefully selected?" Du Yu was a bit puzzled.

All along, it was Master Qing stationed at the Twenty-Ninth Bureau in single-line communication with the military, and the disciples were not aware of further details.

Yang Qingqing: "This bottomless abyss is relatively small in scale, with a depth of less than 2500 meters, and a pit mouth diameter of only about 4 kilometers."

Jiang Feng immediately spoke up: "Which means that Master Qing’s Jade Gourd can directly cover from the abyss pit mouth to the bottom."

Fu Jianzhou appeared slightly excited and looked at Jiang Feng: "In terms of width, Senior Sister Jiang only needs to create a half-side sand wall.

Most parts of the Jade Gourd can directly attach to the existing pit walls."

Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully.

"Ha!" Du Yu suddenly got up, enthusiastically, "What do you say? Shall we do a speed run?"

Li Mengnan, sitting in her seat, looked at Du Yu across the aisle, puzzled: "What?"

Du Yu suddenly laughed, gesturing at Li Mengnan’s left wrist: "How much did your watch cost again?"

"Why mention that." Li Mengnan felt a bit embarrassed, hadn’t I told you before, 260,000.

Du Yu: "Is it accurate?"

"Of course, it’s accurate!" Li Mengnan was very confident; she stretched her arm out as far as she could to place the watch by Du Yu’s ear, "Listen, not a second off."

"Tick tock, tick tock."

Du Yu grinned, is this the sound of the second hand moving?

No, this is the sound of money ringing!

Cling clang...

Du Yu leaned his head away: "Then time it, let’s see how long it takes for our team from start to finish."

Li Mengnan slightly opened her small mouth, only then realizing what Du Yu meant.

Did her second brother learn bad things from her third sister?!

How could you use such an ordinary tone to say such overbearing words?

All other Demon Tamers in this world, are scared to death even venturing into a bottomless abyss. That immensely powerful Youhan Tree is an unbeatable existence for humanity!

Yet under these circumstances, Du Yu is already thinking about a speed run?!

Tsk tsk~

Li Mengnan pouted and muttered softly: "No humanity left."

"Okay." Coincidentally, Yang Qingqing spoke, agreeing with Du Yu’s proposal, and her voice overlapped with Li Mengnan’s.

In an instant, the plane fell silent.

Li Mengnan only felt her heart suddenly stop!

Du Yu... you are simply a disaster!

Li Mengnan cautiously looked at Master Qing, only to see a face with a false smile and a high-cold demeanor.

For a moment, the girl’s face looked like a sad little bun, almost bursting into tears...
