I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1293 - 497: Daoist Venerable Is in Trouble! He Is My Husband! (2)

Taking a deep breath, a gust of wind suddenly arose, and the sea of clouds within a radius of dozens of miles rolled in and was completely absorbed into him.

His lips lightly parted, and once again exhaled, a white airwave whistled like an arrow, piercing through several distant peaks consecutively!

Without using a single ounce of True Yuan, just relying on physical strength, to achieve such a degree is simply exaggerated to the extreme!

"The Innate One Qi transforms into the Primordial, flesh, and bones become mountains and rivers... A hundred apertures connecting to the starry sea, my body is the Great Luo Heaven!"

"This is the final realm of the Mixed Element Skill!"

"Through the transformation of Xuantian Canglong Transformation and True Dragon Blood, and now mastering the Primordial Undying Body, the strength of this body has surpassed the limits of the Human Race, almost a different species!"

Chen Mo’s lips curled up, revealing a satisfied smile.

Martial Arts cultivation has no shortcuts, only through countless trials and tempering can one step by step reach the Transformation Realm, requiring resource consumption of astronomical proportions.

But within him is the True Dragon Blood, energy nearly endless, equivalent to possessing a treasure mountain that, as long as continuously developed, his physical growth has no limit!

"Phew—"

Chen Mo regulated his breathing, retracting his aura.

Looking around his surroundings, the courtyard was empty and desolate. He calculated with his fingers, and his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

This cultivation had lasted five whole days, and the Daoist Venerable still hadn’t appeared, which was clearly unusual.

His mind delved into the Sea of Consciousness, attempting to communicate with the peach tree on the Spirit Platform, but still received no response. Moreover, he noticed that the leaves on the tree had begun to turn yellow, indicating that the Daoist Venerable’s Divine Soul was continuously weakening!

"Not good, Hong Xiu is in danger!"

The uneasy feeling in Chen Mo’s heart grew stronger.

Yet he couldn’t lock onto the location of the Daoist Venerable, not knowing where to find her.

"It seems necessary to first visit the Tianshu Pavilion to probe the situation, to see what has happened, but I don’t know the location of the mountain gate, I must find Zhi’er to have her take me to Fuyun Mountain..."

Chen Mo took out the bronze key, infused it with Primordial Qi, and the World Gate slowly opened.

...

...

In the Sky Scale Guard, Fire Department Court.

Li Yuan sat on the bench, bending over the desk sorting documents, with a mountain of files stacked in front of her.

Although she didn’t know why Chen Mo suddenly wanted to investigate a missing persons case, since Mr. Chen did so, naturally, he had his reasons, and as a subordinate, it was enough to be responsible for execution.

"But speaking of which, it’s been several days, how come Mr. Chen hasn’t returned yet?"

"Couldn’t have encountered some mishap... ptooey, with Mr. Chen’s strength, who below the First Grade could possibly harm him? Surely, he couldn’t always run into Ultimate Venerable Realm enemies, right?"

Knock knock knock—

Just when Li Yuan was lost in thought, the door suddenly knocked, and the voice of the Colonel sounded outside: "Households Commander Li, someone is here to see you, claiming to be a friend of Lord Thousand Households."

"A friend?" Li Yuan’s eyes flashed, putting away the documents, she cleared her throat and said: "Let them in."

"Yes." The Colonel responded.

A moment later, the door opened, and Ling Ningzhi, clad in a Moon White Daoist robe, walked in, raised her hand, and performed a Dao salute, "Greetings, Households Commander Li."

Li Yuan stood up to return the salute, inquiring, "Daoist Qingxuan, why have you suddenly come over?"

Ling Ningzhi softly said: "This impoverished Daoist has matters to discuss with Mr. Chen. I couldn’t find him at the Chen Mansion and heard from the lady that he hasn’t returned for several days, so I thought to come to the Government to inquire. Do you by chance know where he is now?"

"This..."

Li Yuan hesitated slightly, saying: "Mr. Chen is in seclusion. I can’t reach him either..."

"Seclusion?"

Ling Ningzhi’s delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

Recently, Ling Yishan’s condition suddenly worsened as if a candle flickering in the wind, possibly extinguishing at any time. Relying solely on the Life Continuation Pill was no longer sufficient, urgently needing the Creation Golden Pill to sustain life, but the master still hadn’t appeared, and the message sent to the Sect hadn’t received a response either.

Originally intending for Chen Mo to go to Tianlan Mountain to contact the master, unexpectedly, he also went into seclusion at this critical moment.

"What should be done now?"

"If this drags on, I’m afraid it’ll truly be beyond saving!"

Just as Ling Ningzhi was at her wit’s end, Primordial Qi surged in the court, and a World Gate appeared out of thin air.

"Eh? Zhi’er, you’re here?"

"Great, saves me the trip to the Demon Suppression Department to find you..."

A large hand reached out from the World Gate, directly pulling Ling Ningzhi in.

Soon after, the portal closed, the air restored to silence, leaving Li Yuan standing dumbfounded on the spot.

"Wait, what’s happening?"

...

...

Ling Ningzhi felt her vision blur for a moment, and when it cleared, she found herself in the small courtyard atop Tianlan Mountain.

Chen Mo stood in front of her, his body bare, muscular, and as beautifully sculpted as a marble statue.

"Lord?"

Ling Ningzhi’s gaze lowered, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks as she whispered, "Why... why aren’t you wearing clothes?"

"Ahem, the situation was urgent, didn’t have time." Chen Mo took out a robe from the storage ring and put it on, saying, "I brought you here for a serious matter. The Daoist Venerable might be in danger; her Divine Soul is becoming increasingly weak..."

Hearing this, Ling Ningzhi’s expression immediately turned solemn.

There was no way Chen Mo would joke about something like this. Besides, she hadn’t been able to contact her master recently, and her heart clenched with worry!

Could it really be an unforeseen accident?

"But with the master’s strength, who could possibly harm her?" Ling Ningzhi asked in confusion.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "That’s exactly what worries me the most. Lately, I’ve been using Dragon Qi to help the Daoist Venerable suppress the repercussions, and her cultivation has been improving daily. Few in this world can oppose her unless..."

Ling Ningzhi pressed, "Unless what?"

Chen Mo said in a grave tone, "Unless the opponent is not from this world."

Ling Ningzhi was startled, her face changed dramatically, "You mean No Desire Buddha isn’t dead yet?!"

"No Desire Buddha was killed by the Empress herself; there’s no possibility of resurrection. It must be someone else..." Chen Mo’s eyes flickered as if he had thought of something, but he didn’t elaborate, shaking his head. "Regardless, we must find the Daoist Venerable first. Take me to the Tianshu Pavilion to see what has happened."

"Alright."

Ling Ningzhi took out the sect’s seal, infused it with Dao Power, sensed for a moment, and said, "Fifteen hundred miles to the southeast. Should we take the flying boat?"

"No need, it’s too slow."

Chen Mo urged the Dragon Qi, sensing the earth veins, and the mountain beneath trembled violently.

He reached out, wrapped Ling Ningzhi around the waist, stepped forward slowly, and their figures suddenly vanished!

Ling Ningzhi felt the scenery around her rapidly retreat, turning into colorful threads. Even though Chen Mo’s steps were slow, each one spanned nearly a hundred miles!

In less than the time it takes half a stick of incense to burn, they arrived at the foot of Fuyun Mountain!

This technique, while not quite crossing through the void, was not far off!

"The Lord’s strength has become even greater..."

Ling Ningzhi suppressed her astonishment, disengaged from Chen Mo’s embrace, took a few steps forward, and raised the signal high.

Moments later, the wind and clouds surged, the dense fog dispersed, and a stone gate built of white jade slowly appeared, with couplets carved on both sides: Tianshu determines the ultimate realm, Fuyun enters the immortal gate.

The brush strokes flowed like dragons and serpents, with an ethereal and transcendent charm.

Whoosh——

Two Daoist nuns dressed in black robes, long swords on their backs, flew out from the gate. Seeing Ling Ningzhi, they quickly bowed:

"Disciple Jing Yun, Qi Xuan pays respect to the Chief, Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate."

Ling Ningzhi nodded slightly and asked, "Is the master within the sect?"

Jing Yun nodded, "Chief, the Sect Leader has not left since returning from Qing Province."

"Hmm?"

Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo exchanged glances, their confusion deepening.

If the Daoist Venerable hadn’t left the sect, why was her Divine Soul continually weakening? Could a cultivation error, like going berserk, be the cause?

"Take me to the master now."

Ling Ningzhi stepped through the mountain gate, with Chen Mo following closely behind.

At this moment, Qi Xuan raised her hand to stop him, frowning, "Wait, you don’t look like one of our Mystic Sect’s disciples. Please halt, outsiders aren’t allowed in the sect, as per the Sect Leader’s rules."

"I am..."

Before Chen Mo could speak, Ling Ningzhi coldly said, "He’s not an outsider; he’s my husband and has the master’s approval. We’re soon to be married... What, do you have a problem with that?"

"H-Husband?!"

Qi Xuan and Jing Yun were stunned on the spot.

Connecting this with the rampant rumors recently, their throats tightened.

So this is the Chief’s ’rumored boyfriend’?

Facing Ling Ningzhi’s icy gaze, the two swallowed silently, lowering their heads, "Disciple dares not..."
