Chapter 1453 - 935: The Pilgrimage of All Beings

The originally tranquil Sea Realm gradually became lively with Yang Qingqing’s ascension.

The Dust Spirit Deer tribe, who usually stayed away from the world and disliked noise, had already left the Dust Spirit Garden early on.

They gathered in the Firethorn Courtyard, raising their deer heads to gaze at the holy manifestation on the high rooftop of Shatang Mansion.

Even the Celestial Cyan Porcelain, which lazily slept in Purple Marsh Lake, had flown to Shatang Mansion, circling high in the sky.

There were few living beings in the Sea Realm.

Although few in number, there were many kinds and of exceptionally high quality!

Dozens of demon beast Dust Spirit Deer, a Supreme Celestial Cyan Porcelain,

Demonic Plant Firethorn Tree, and a group of human disciples.

These creatures were enough to form a scene of "all beings worshiping a saint"!

Yang Qingqing’s demon soul repeatedly enveloped the heavens and earth, also enveloping the creatures coming to pay homage.

Every creature had its own thoughts, how could Yang Qingqing not be disturbed?

Yet, at this final moment, nothing else mattered.

Her demon soul flickered at an astonishing rate, becoming a saint was already inevitable!

"Boom!!!"

The small human race defied the heavens, ultimately attaining the Great Dao, causing the world to tremble!

Poor Du Yu, in the end, was still blown away by the fierce waves of energy.

This time, his Master Qing did not protect him.

"Hiss..." The dragon’s roar shook the soul, echoing through the Sea Realm.

"Nai!!"

"Nai~~~" Dust Spirit Immortal Deer raised its deer head, its melodious call spreading across the sea island.

The congratulations rang from the depths of their hearts.

When Yang Qingqing’s demon soul enveloped all beings, she could sense everything, and everything could sense her.

In the small human body, it carried an immensely powerful soul.

Contained within were her joys and sorrows, the partings she had experienced along the way.

Why do people cultivate?

For strength, for longevity!

To stand above millions of beings, receiving homage and admiration for all eternity.

Yet in her thoughts, rarely was there any longing for the future. Her heart contained only a dedication to the Demon Taming Dao.

This path, concerning the Lord of Mountains and Seas, naturally delighted and surprised the creatures of the Sea Realm.

And this dedication also carried Yang Qingqing upstream, step by step to heaven.

"Ah." Li Mengnan sighed softly, even her exhale carried a slight tremor.

She knelt on the ground, dazedly looking up at the Immortal Master.

In her sight, the woman on the Shatang Leaf slowly opened a pair of eyes.

Their radiant glow made the world dim in comparison.

This is... the grace of the Demon Taming Saint?

Li Mengnan was somewhat dazed, her mind a blank.

In fact, the other disciples were also somewhat dazed.

It’s not like they hadn’t seen a Demon Taming Saint before!

In the past war years, they had seen seven or eight of the Seven Saints of Great Xia.

However, no saint had ever shone as bright as Master Qing.

Radiance was merely a sensory impact.

All the disciples were extraordinarily powerful, not easily confused by superficial appearances.

What truly stunned the disciples was the coercive presence brought by Master Qing.

She sat there quietly, but it made people feel utterly insignificant.

Even Du Yu was not spared!

In this Sea Realm, only two beings retained some "color".

One was the Celestial Cyan Porcelain slowly moving in the sky.

The other was the majestic Ancient Wood Shatang Tree connecting heaven and earth.

Apart from these two, all creatures lost their rightful life color, seeming as insignificant as dust.

This?

Is it because Master Qing just became a sage and is currently at the peak of her state, her aura not yet settled?

Or, is she inherently unique?

Can’t even the Seven Saints of Great Xia compare to her?

Du Yu of course hoped Master Qing was the latter.

From the moment he first encountered Master Qing, he had looked up to her.

Since he had already admired her for three years, Du Yu didn’t mind looking up to her for the rest of his life.

Slowly, Yang Qingqing turned her head to look over.

"Well, well~"

Du Yu’s breathing slightly paused, and he immediately closed his eyes.

Little Fen Yang was right!

This king indeed had grown weary of living.

I admit, I spoke a bit loudly before...

It must be noted, Yang Qingqing’s beautiful eyes did not have any sharpness, nor intentionally oppressed weaker beings.

But at this moment, Du Yu still dared not meet her gaze directly.

Upon careful thought, it truly is incredible!

Half a month ago, Du Yu fully experienced Mengnan’s ascension, and in the face of the vastly powerful Xiongxiong, Du Yu was not this overwhelmed.

Why was the situation completely different with Master Qing?

The difference between humans and demon beasts is really huge indeed.

So...

Does defying the heavens really carry a higher prestige than following its will?

"Du Yu, how impolite~" Little Fen Yang teased, "Hurry and congratulate Little Aunt Qingqing on becoming a saint!"

Du Yu closed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Congratulations to Master Qing on becoming a Saint!"

The way he looked, he had a kind of "I’ll do it no matter what" vibe.

As Du Yu spoke, the disciples kneeling below in Shatang Courtyard also chimed in with their congratulations.

Only four people, but they had the effect of forty.

It wasn’t that their voices were particularly loud, but they were completely out of sync...

"Don’t force yourselves." A cool voice quietly emerged, not loud, yet resounding throughout the mansion.

With Master Qing’s order, the disciples fell silent and bowed their heads.

Only Lin Shiwei kept looking at Master Qing with eyes full of envy.

The disparity between people was simply too obvious.

In her current state, even Du Yu had to be cautious around Yang Qingqing, yet Lin Shiwei remained fearless, observing closely.

"Thank you." Yang Qingqing gently patted the Firethorn Leaves beside her.

"Shasha~" The Firethorn Tree happily swayed its branches, and under its mistress’s command, slowly retracted into the Firethorn Courtyard.

The Firethorn Tree, now an emperor, stood over 60 meters tall, with incredibly lush foliage!

"Wow!" Du Yu let out a light exclamation.

As the Firethorn Tree retracted its branches and leaves, they swept past Du Yu.

Who knows if Brother Tree was saying hello or just brushing past intentionally?

"Jingling~ Jing~"

A crisp and pleasant bell sound rang out, and Du Yu suddenly felt his body tense up.

Immediately after, he was pulled from the dense foliage, flying uncontrollably forward.

Yang Qingqing’s hand slowly lowered, and Du Yu returned to Shatang Courtyard, landing among his fellow disciples.

"Myriad Tree Realm?" Yang Qingqing looked down at Du Yu, asking softly.

Du Yu responded, "We say it’s a myriad, but there are only a few realms we can actually visit."

Yang Qingqing: "Tell me about it."

"Master Qing, more than half a month ago, on the night we sent Chi Bear Warrior home, Saint Xu Feikong came to me."

"Oh?" Yang Qingqing was slightly surprised, and everyone in the Cyan Sect turned to look at Du Yu.

The name of the Seven Saints of Great Xia is famed.

But regarding Saint Xu Feikong, they hadn’t really interacted with him before, nor had they encountered him on the battlefield.

Du Yu continued, "Saint Xu’s experiences are different from what we imagined.

He also wants to protect the Twin Tree Realm, but when we were clashing with the Cold Tree, Saint Xu was traveling through the Otherworlds, seeking allies."

"Traveling through the Otherworlds?"

Du Yu nodded emphatically, "Yes, Saint Xu possesses great strength! Moreover, he is not from our world.

He hails from the Otherworld Continent, from a Twin Tree Realm that has already been invaded by the Cold Tree."

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in shock.

No one could have imagined that a Great Xia Saint wasn’t even from Great Xia?!

Yang Qingqing furrowed her brows lightly, "Did Saint Xu ask you to save his homeland?"

"That’s right..." Du Yu collected his thoughts and recounted the events to Master Qing.

As Du Yu’s words settled, Shatang Courtyard fell into silence.

After a while, Yang Qingqing spoke, "Do you want to go?"

Du Yu said solemnly, "This journey will surely let us gain a qualitative leap in strength! It will help me to better destroy the Youhan Tree!"

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing nodded.

It was undoubtedly a significant matter, but she agreed readily.

Du Yu kept his head down, not daring to meet the immortal master’s gaze, but he heard his master’s consenting voice.

He couldn’t help but feel overjoyed in his heart and immediately said, "Master Qing, how about we have a feast together?

Now that Master Qing has reached the peak of the Demon Taming World, such a big event deserves a celebration!

Just as well, I’ll invite Saint Xu, too—he’s in our Ancient Pine Tower City, waiting under one of the Twin Trees."

Without waiting for Master Qing to reply, Du Yu continued, "That night, I talked with Saint Xu all night, filled him with tea, and then he went out to sleep in the woods..."

Everyone: "..."

It had to be you, Du Yu!

Really bringing honor to our Cyan Sect~

Yang Qingqing looked at her disciple with mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation, "Go ahead, prepare, and come call me when you’re ready."

Traveling through otherworlds is certainly no joke, and indeed, we should discuss the different worlds thoroughly with Saint Xu.

Besides, Yang Qingqing also noticed the disciples’ discomfort and could use this time to gather her presence.

So her disciples wouldn’t be too intimidated to even raise their heads in front of her.

"Yes!" With a flip of Du Yu’s hand, Bell Shadow shimmered.

The group of disciples vanished without a trace, and Yang Qingqing, suppressing her thoughts, let out a slow breath.

She didn’t know if it was predestined by fate.

She just felt fortunate that when her disciple was about to embark on a journey across realms, she happened to become a Saint!

"Hmm?" Yang Qingqing turned her head to the left.

A stunning figure quietly appeared, the celestial cyan dress fluttering in the wind, breathtakingly beautiful.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain had a pair of elongated beautiful eyes, stood with her hands behind her back, and looked down at the human woman: "Congratulations."

Yang Qingqing nodded in friendly acknowledgment.

Celestial Cyan Porcelain smiled, "Now, we all know your secret."

Yang Qingqing also smiled; when she became a Saint, the Demon Soul flickered, and her Demon Taming Dao could indeed no longer be hidden.

She could also feel Celestial Cyan Porcelain’s shift in attitude.

Originally, Celestial Cyan Porcelain approved of Master Qing because of Du Yu.

Now, however, Celestial Cyan Porcelain genuinely felt satisfied with Yang Qingqing and more closeness toward this human woman.

Yang Qingqing looked up at the Supreme Saint: "We’re setting out again, and we’ll have to trouble Celestial Cyan Porcelain for protection once more."

Celestial Cyan Porcelain replied indifferently, "Wherever he is, there I shall be."

"Hmm." Yang Qingqing felt a bit reassured and suggested, "Du Yu has learned a new dish. Later, Celestial Cyan Porcelain, you could join me to taste it."

"Sure." Celestial Cyan Porcelain nodded lightly.
