Chapter 1040 Speculation

After a while, Xia Jie's spirit returned to his body, and Yuan Ming and Xi Ying also flew over and saluted Xia Jie.

"Congratulations, senior, on your advancement to the realm of ghost witch."

"No need to be polite." Xia Jie smiled slightly, without showing any complacency.

He raised his hand slightly, and the invisible soul power gently lifted Yuan Ming and the other two.

At this time, Xia Jie's aura was completely different from before, and there was a bright light in his eyes.

Yuan Ming looked at him and felt a stinging pain in his eyes, almost crying.

At the same time, Yuan Ming also felt that his soul power was constantly draining away, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

It was as if some unknown danger was lurking around, staring at him closely, looking for a flaw that could kill him with one blow.

Xi Ying seemed to feel the same pressure. Seeing this, Xia Jie did not say much, but the light in his eyes faded a little.

Suddenly, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying felt the pressure suddenly reduced and relaxed a lot.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized that the oppressive feeling just now was actually the soul domain effect formed after Xia Jie advanced to the ghost witch.

"The power of the goddess Mingyue has not been completely exhausted. I will continue to absorb it. But your strength is still shallow and your accumulation is insufficient. It is already the limit to be able to improve to this point. If you stay any longer, there may be a risk of losing control. You should wait outside the Ziyun Palace first." Xia Jie said.

Yuan Ming and Xiying did not refute. They just felt their own limits.

At this time, Xia Jie looked at Xiying with a flash of light in his eyes.

He raised his hand and a gray smoke suddenly emerged from Xiying's body and dissipated in the air.

"I have already solved the word spirit spell on you. Mingyue Palace will not suspect you. As for Xi Zhuangyuan and the others, I will deal with them. You don't have to worry about modifying their memories." Xia Jie said.

Xiying heard this and thanked Xia Jie immediately.

"Senior, are you planning to take this opportunity to impact the realm of witch god?" Yuan Ming hesitated and asked.

"That's right. The realm war is imminent. The demons are strong. Even if we have one or two more ghost witches, there is still a huge gap in strength and the chances of winning are slim. Only by achieving the witch god can we completely reverse the situation and defeat the demons." Xia Jie's face became serious.

"Is this move too risky? Senior has just broken through the ghost witch and has not accumulated much experience. With only the power of the Moon Goddess, I'm afraid..." Yuan Ming looked worried.

"There is no absolute chance of winning in the world. I know that the hope of success is slim, but as long as the hope is not zero, it is worth a try. If you retreat now, you will regret it in the future." Xia Jie shook his head gently, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.

"Senior, why take such a risk? Even if you don't try and retain your strength, you are not without a chance of winning in the future battle against the demons. Once you fail, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but everything may return to the starting point." Yuan Ming sighed, with worry in his eyes.

"The worst result is that the status quo remains unchanged. Besides, you and Xiying have both improved their cultivation because of this matter. Whether you succeed or fail, it is not in vain. When the war breaks out, all lives will be destroyed. If I can fight for a glimmer of hope for Chuyun with my own strength, this account is really worthwhile." Xia Jie laughed and waved his hand. A force sent Yuan Ming and Xiying out of Ziyun Palace.

The two stood not far away, looking at Ziyun Palace, looking at each other, with helplessness and admiration for Xia Jie in their eyes.

At this moment, a black light suddenly broke out from the depths of Ziyun Palace, surging out from the gap.

The sky outside suddenly became gloomy, and the rolling Yin Qi seemed to crush the purple light in the mountains.

The amazing breath fluctuations instantly spread throughout the Wentian Secret Realm, as if some kind of terrifying power was awakening.

"This movement... is too big." Yuan Ming said in surprise.

"Senior Xia Jie has just advanced to the ghost wizard, and is not yet proficient in mastering this power. Now that he is fully absorbing the power of the Moon Goddess, I am afraid it is a little difficult to control." Xiying's face was solemn, and her worry was evident.

"No, if this goes on, it will definitely attract the attention of others. If it is people from other realms, it is okay, but if the seventh-level monsters are also attracted, it will definitely affect the seniors. We can't just leave like this." Yuan Ming frowned and said.

"You are right. With our current strength, although we can't repel them, we can at least delay them for a while." Xiying nodded in agreement.

When Yuan Ming nodded, his expression suddenly changed. When he raised his hand, the Shura Palace appeared out of thin air.

"What's wrong?" Xiying asked immediately.

"The Dao-entering Pill is about to be refined. I have to go and see the situation. You stay outside. If there is danger, go directly to the Shura Palace. Even the seventh-level monsters can't attack." Yuan Ming spoke quickly and looked nervous.

After saying that, he flashed and flew into the Shura Palace, leaving Xiying to guard outside.

…

The hot flames of the Tiansha Fire Region danced in the air, as if even the air was distorted.

Youtian Fire Phoenix spread her wings and flew, her flaming feathers glittering in the sun, and she lightly returned to the place where she and Qingluan agreed to meet.

After a while, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the distance, rolling up a cloud of dust.

Youtian Fire Phoenix looked closely and saw Qingluan rushing in with a whirlwind. Behind it, a huge black cloud rolled, emitting a strong demonic aura, which was chilling.

Qingluan flew to Youtian Fire Phoenix and asked in confusion: "Why are you back alone? Where are the other monsters?"

Youtian Fire Phoenix sighed lightly and shook his head helplessly: "Don't mention it, those old stubborn people sneered at my proposal and were unwilling to join us at all."

At this time, a low roar suddenly came from the black cloud, and then a ferocious beast walked out of it.

It has a body like a goat, but its four legs are sharp claws, and its head is topped with two sharp bone horns. Although its face has no eyes and nose, its huge mouth is enough to make people fearful.

And under its armpits and chest, there was a ferocious human face, its eyes were as sharp as knives, and the flesh and blood of the prey seemed to be still in its mouth.

"Taotie, I never thought you would come to help us." You Tian Huofeng looked at the giant beast in front of him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Every time those plunderers come, I lose a lot of food. This time I will give them a stern lesson. However, I have agreed in advance that the bodies of those plunderers must belong to me, otherwise there will be no need to discuss anything. ." Taotie snorted.

You Tian Huofeng and Qing Luan looked at each other, and they both understood Taotie's temper, so You Tian Huofeng nodded and agreed: "The corpse is of no use to us, just take it."

The three beasts had just reached cooperation when suddenly, a powerful aura swept from a distance, making their hearts tighten.

They all turned their heads and looked in the direction of the purple mountains.

I saw purple air lingering above the mountains, as if something strange was happening.

"Someone has broken through? But the aura is not the demon calamity... it is those outsiders!" You Tian Huofeng's expression instantly became solemn.

Taotie laughed, with a greedy light shining in his eyes: "What are you afraid of? The three of us join forces, and we are afraid that a monk who has just entered the Mahayana will fail! Speaking of which, I haven't tasted the taste of a Mahayana monk, but I can have a good time today. vision.”

Qingluan also nodded, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Taotie is right, we were originally going to hunt these intruders. Now that their aura has leaked and their location has been exposed, it saves us a lot of effort. . Start now, don’t wait too long, lest things change.”

Youtian Huofeng and Taotie had no objections. The next moment, the three beasts rose into the sky at the same time and flew towards the purple mountain range.

…

In a dark valley, two monks suddenly rose into the sky, looking sharply at the purple mountains in the distance.

"Is this the breath of a ghost witch? How can it be so majestic?" The strong man wearing black armor with blood patterns said to himself doubtfully.

The energy and blood all over his body were like boiling lava, surging and surging, as if a scorching sun was hanging in the sky, and the aura of the most powerful sun was overflowing.

Under his feet, two blazing golden lights were like two lightning bolts, piercing the void. It was obvious that he was not relying on magic power, but relying on his own tyrannical cultivation to set foot in this world.

And standing next to him was Su Wu.

At this moment, his injuries have healed, and the aura of mana all over his body is surging like ocean waves. He has actually reached the state of Mahayana, and his every move reveals an indescribable majesty.

"This aura is indeed weird, and it is still getting stronger. Could it be that someone got some kind of unparalleled opportunity here?" Su Wu frowned slightly, doubts flashing in his eyes.

The big man in black armor chuckled, curiosity and expectation flashing in his eyes: "It's useless to guess, why don't we go over and see for ourselves to find out."

Su Wu heard the words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at his feet hesitantly.

But after a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and nodded: "The situation in the valley is relatively stable at present, and it won't affect the overall situation if you and I are away for a while. This aura is indeed weird, and the movement is so loud, if we don't go After some investigation, something might happen easily."

…

In the Shura Palace, the firelight shone brightly.

Yuan Ming walked into the hall where the waiter was, and instantly felt a wave of blazing fire coming towards his face.

In the hall, flames were woven like a fire dragon flying around the Zhoutian Exquisite Cauldron, creating a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

The waiter was currently suspended in mid-air, his eyes fixed on the exquisite cauldron, his expression extremely focused. Even the arrival of Yuan Ming could not distract him for a moment.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming knew that it was not appropriate to disturb him at this moment, so he turned his gaze to Kong, who was standing quietly not far away, and asked: "How is the situation? You called me, but is there anything you need my help with?"

"No, you just need to wait here for a moment. When the Dao Dan is refined and comes out of the cauldron, the breath of the Dao will escape. If you take the opportunity to absorb it, it will also be beneficial to your breakthrough to the Mahayana realm." Kong did not look back, but He replied calmly.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he understood in his heart, so he stopped asking any more questions and silently stepped aside.

Time passed slowly, and not too long passed. After about two sticks of incense, Yuan Ming raised his hand to make a secret spell in the air, and began to perform the secret technique of Fengtian.

As a stream of aspiration force was continuously injected into Zhoutian's exquisite cauldron, a hazy sound of chanting seemed to be heard in the void, making Yuan Ming clenched his fists nervously.
