Chapter 1555 Birth Feather
Let us say that in the main hall of the Queen Mother Hall, there is a throne in the middle, which was set up for the Queen Mother of the West.
Because of this matter, another dispute broke out in the Queen Mother's Palace...
King Lan Ling used the excuse that Yao Qiong had not yet become the Queen Mother of the West to disapprove of Yao Qiong sitting on the throne - this reason was not arbitrary.
But it was Yao Qiong who spoke astonishingly.
"If you don't want to sit down, you won't sit down! What's the big deal! No big deal - I stand and you sit down! It's too tiring..."
"You are the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, and you have passed the Hoopoe test to become the Queen Mother of the West. It's just a matter of time, how can you be so negligent?" Fu Xigui said this, and King Lan Ling said strangely: "A matter of time? I am. I don’t think so! She has been in charge of the hoopoe for many years, but she has been unable to unite the demon baby! I ask you: When will she become the Queen Mother of the West?”
"King Lan Ling! Are you trying to force the palace!?"
"I don't dare! I just tell the truth!"
"That's enough! Don't you think it's embarrassing to see the special envoy in front of you?" After a shout, King Qingluan turned to say: "The special envoy and his entourage are tired from coming from afar. I'm afraid they have to rest early. There are other people waiting, so please leave first. Come on! I’m here in the Queen Mother Palace!”
King Qingluan was originally the transformed form of Qingluan under the throne of the former Queen Mother of the West.
He has always been responsible for guarding the Queen Mother Palace and is loyal to the Queen Mother of the West.
Even among the several great demon kings, King Qingluan's combat power is astonishing.
Moreover, this is the Queen Mother's Palace after all, and King Qingluan has the duty to protect it.
King Qingluan issued an order to expel guests, and all the demon kings had to leave.
"Thank you Aunt Qing!"
"It is my duty to protect the Palace of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the West. How can I thank you? Return to the West! You can take Yao Qiong to rest first!"
"……,yes!"
Before leaving, Fu Xigui nodded towards Xiao Mian.
That means King Qingluan is a trustworthy person.
Xiao Mian understood it well and saw that King Qingluan had successfully arranged Hemerocallis and others. Xiao Mian was not in a hurry. He knew that King Qingluan would come to him.
In front of the Queen Mother's Palace in the previous episode, King Qingluan seemed to be making things difficult for Xiao Mian, but in fact, he brought out Dinghai Mian, which ended the farce.
It's a lot easier to have this big demon king guarding the Queen Mother's Palace...
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, Xiao Mian was alarmed.
Then I saw a pocket-sized Qingluan, the size of a palm, flying into Xiao Mian's wing. The clear light spread across the room, and turned into the Qingluan King in blue palace clothes, belatedly arriving.
"It's Qingluan's fault for disturbing the special envoy's rest!"
"Senior, you're being polite! If you have anything to say, you might as well say it!"
"Senior Long Mu, do you know the current situation of the Demon Realm in the Western Wasteland?"
"I don't know!"
"Really? So the special envoy is not here for Yao Qiong?"
"It wasn't originally, but it is now!"
"Xi Gui must have mentioned to you the current situation in the Western Wasteland Demon Realm. To break the situation, Yao Qiong must gather the demon infants as soon as possible. Does the special envoy have any ideas?"
"Not yet!"
"..."
Xiao Mian's answer made King Qingluan fall into silence.
"I want to know about the new Demon Lord. I didn't see him just now!"
"good!"
King Qingluan spoke eloquently in a few words...
Demon Lord Mo Xiao!
This is the name of the new Demon Lord.
When the former Queen Mother of the West was still alive, Mo Xiao was already the ninth-level demon king, and the youngest among the ninth-level demon kings.
The entire Western Wasteland Demon Realm knows: Demon Lord Mo Xiao has a bright future!
Before Queen Mother Xi died, she severely punished Demon King Mo Xiao for a trivial matter.
It is said that the Mo Xiao Demon King suffered a serious injury and has been in seclusion to heal his injuries.
Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise that Mo Xiao Demon King took the last step.
When he came out of seclusion again, the Demon King Mo Xiao had become the Demon Lord Mo Xiao!
At the same time, Yao Qiong has been unable to successfully gather the demon babies, so she cannot use the hoopoe freely, and her deterrence against the demons in the Western Wilderness has plummeted.
Some people with ulterior motives gathered under the command of Demon Lord Mo Xiao.
For example, King Lan Ling, who claimed to be extremely resourceful, chose to take sides early.
There are also many other demon kings who, openly or covertly, support Mo Xiao Demon Lord.
If the situation cannot be broken as soon as possible, the Western Wasteland Monster Realm will fall apart!
On one side is the royalist faction represented by Yao Qiong.
On one side is the anti-emperor faction headed by Demon Lord Mo Xiao!
Once there is a complete break, the Western Wasteland Demon Realm will fall into civil war.
Too busy to take care of themselves, they talk about spiritual warfare.
"Then Demon Lord Mo Xiao, is there anything you are determined to obtain?"
"This... special envoy, what do you mean by this?"
"Just know yourself and the enemy!"
"If you say you are determined to win, there is indeed one thing!"
"What?"
"Benming Feiyu!"
The natal feathers are the means used by the Queen Mother of the West to control the demon cultivators of the Western Wasteland in the past dynasties.
In addition to the hoopoe, the Queen Mother of the West also has a treasure, the Phoenix Feather Clothes!
This phoenix feather coat is not made of phoenix feathers.
Every demon cultivator in the Western Wilderness must pluck out one of the most beautiful natal feathers from his body and offer it to the Queen Mother of the West when he has passed through the catastrophe of transformation.
The colorful natal feathers were refined into phoenix feathers by the Queen Mother of the West.
With the Phoenix Feather Clothes in hand, the Queen Mother of the West can give orders to the demon cultivator of the Western Wilderness - if she fails to obey, the demon cultivator's body will also be severely damaged when the natal feathers are destroyed.
This is a method of control similar to that of a hostage, passed down through the ages.
Even the current Demon Lord Mo Xiao once plucked out a jet-black tail feather and presented it to his predecessor, the Queen Mother of the West, when he passed through the catastrophe of transformation.
This fundamental fate is that Ling Yu is in the hands of Yao Qiong, the Demon Lord Mo Xiao, and he is throwing a rat weapon.
This thing is naturally something that Demon Lord Mo Xiao is determined to get!
There is also speculation among the demon kings that if Demon Lord Mo Xiao obtains this fundamental life feather, I am afraid that it will be the time when he becomes violent and launches an attack!
After listening to King Qingluan's story, Xiao Mian was silent.
After a long time, Xiao Mian spoke again.
"Is this natal feather always in the hands of the Queen Mother of the West? Is there any chance that Xihuang Demon Cultivator can get his natal feather back?"
"……,have!"
Saying this, Qingluan Wang Su turned his hand, and an extra piece of green feather appeared.
"This is my natal feather! Before the death of the former Queen Mother of the West, she realized that the demon realm of the Western Wasteland was about to change greatly, so she showed mercy and returned my natal feather to me. Only then did I become stronger and protect the demon kingdom. The Queen Mother Palace is complete!"
When Xiao Mian heard this, his eyebrows moved.
It seems that this King Qingluan is indeed the confidant of the former Queen Mother of the West.
Otherwise, why would she be so devoted to her duties if she had already obtained her natal feather?
"Given by the Queen Mother, this is one of them!" Looking at Xiao Mian, King Qingluan seemed to have guessed Xiao Mian's intention. He took a deep breath and continued: "There is another way, and there is also a chance to regain the feather of his life. Then It’s the battle for the feather!”
"The fight for the feather?"
"In the Demon Realm of the Western Wasteland, feathered demons are rampant. Our demon tribe has always respected the strong, and also attaches great importance to the cultivation of future generations of demon cultivators. Therefore, every once in a while, there will be a competition between the new generation of demon cultivators. , this is the battle for the feather!"
"What is seizing a feather?"
"The winner of the battle to seize the feathers can request the Queen Mother of the West to redeem any of the life feathers on the phoenix feather coat!"
"I see……"
Those who are qualified to participate in the battle to seize the feather are all seventh-level demon cultivators.
This stimulated those demon kings of the eighth and ninth levels to constantly spur their subordinates to improve their cultivation in order to come out on top in the battle for the feather.
Although there is only one chance to redeem the feathers of one's life, the battle for the feathers gives these demon kings a hope after all.
Now, this is probably the only hope for Demon Lord Mo Xiao!
"Yes! King Qingluan! I still need your help in this matter!"
At the moment, Xiao Mian and King Qingluan had a secret discussion...
After hearing Xiao Mian's plan, King Qingluan was hesitant.
"Isn't this... the special envoy's plan too risky?"
"This is my original intention of entering the Demon Realm of the Western Wilderness. If I can make the best use of the situation, if I can lead the snake out of the cave, it will be a worthwhile trip!"
"What I mean is, if Mo Xiao really gets that piece of natal feather, who else in the entire Western Wasteland Demon Realm can control him?"
"Even if no one in the Western Wilderness Monster Realm can defeat him, there will always be someone in this world who can conquer him!" As he spoke, the Dinghai Mound in Xiao Mian's palm flashed away, which not only gave King Qingluan enough confidence, but also revealed it. own determination. While King Qingluan was silent, Xiao Mian continued: "What's more, as King Qingluan said, the battle for the feather is a competition between the new generation of demon cultivators. Demon Lord Mo Xiao can't do anything about it, right?"
"Having said that, I'll tell you the truth! In order to protect this Queen Mother Palace, I have tried my best to protect the Queen Mother Palace, and there are no outstanding disciples under my sect. The kid from Xigui is pretty good, but it's a pity that one of his cultivation levels is too high, and the other is not Human body!"
"Brother Fu's seven-tailed Qingluan is very good!"
"Xiao Qing? Yes! Xiao Qing is pretty good..."
"King Qingluan! Don't worry! Although the fight for the feather is inevitable, I promise: I will not give up the position of leader easily! To say the least, even if Mo Xiao can really take back his natal feather , I also want him not to dare to do anything!"
Xiao Mian was serious when he said this.
The stability of the Western Wilderness Demon Realm directly affects Duzun's plan to counterattack the spiritual world.
It would be fine if Demon Lord Mo Xiao knew the truth, but if he really didn't know the current affairs and tried to split the Demon Realm of the Western Wilderness, Xiao Mian wouldn't mind using the Dinghai Mound to suppress it!
Is the title of the leader of the Four Sea Demon Alliance called for nothing?
Soon, a news spread throughout the Western Wasteland.
After hundreds of years, the Demon Realm of the Western Wilderness will once again hold a battle for the feather!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Western Wasteland Monster Realm was in a state of excitement.
On the surface, the battle to seize the feather is to assess the overall level of the new generation of demon cultivators, but in reality, it is a game between the major demon kings.
But this time, there is something different.
Demon Lord Mo Xiao appears out of nowhere. Who dares to compete with him for his birth feather?
Some good people have even begun to speculate: If Demon Lord Mo Xiao obtains the fundamental life feather, his cultivation will definitely go further.
By then, will the structure of the Western Wasteland Demon Realm be turned upside down?
Of course, many people are skeptical.
Now that the Queen Mother of the West has not yet ascended the throne, Demon Lord Mo Xiao has risen strongly. In this situation where the leader is weak and the minister is strong, wouldn't he be asking for trouble by rashly launching a fight to win the feather?
For a time, the Western Wasteland Monster Realm was bustling with excitement due to the fight for the feather.
Even the demon kings finally couldn't hold it any longer...
In the Ziji Demon King's Mansion, Ziji Demon King and Ziyao's father and daughter are having a secret discussion.
"Father! Holding the fight for the feather at this time is obviously shooting yourself in the foot! How could King Qingluan and Fu Xigui be so unwise?"
"... Even my father can't guess the intentions of King Qingluan! However, this matter has spread throughout the Western Wilderness, and there is no room for mediation. For the current plan, we and the royalists can only try our best to win the feather in the battle. Keep up the good work and hope to come out on top!”
"Father! It's not that Yao'er has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige. It's really a battle to win the feather. It's not optimistic!"
As soon as Ziyao said this, even Ziji Demon King sighed softly.
The Purple Extreme Demon King faction is the royalist faction that supports the Queen Mother of the West.
Unfortunately, the prospects of the royalists are not very optimistic.
Except for the firm stance of the Blue Luan King, the other five great demon kings have either turned to the Mo Xiao Demon Lord, or are trying to protect themselves, or are wavering.
Among the remaining eight small demon kings, there are royalists like the Purple Extreme Demon King and anti-royalists like the Blue Wing King.
In the Blue Wing Demon King's mansion, the Blue Wing Demon King is also discussing this matter with his son Lan Yu in secret.
"Yu'er! What do you think of the battle for the feather?"
"Father! This is a God-given opportunity!"
"I just can't figure it out: King Qingluan and Fu Xigui, knowing that the battle for the feather is not in their favor, why do they make such arrangements? Is there a conspiracy?"
"Father, this is wrong! From my perspective: Queen Mother of the West is a thing of the past after all!" Lan Yu has a handsome face, a tall figure, and a head of azure hair that shines like gems. He said in a deep voice: "Yao Qiong, that girl, has had the dai phoenix for several years, but has not been able to successfully condense an infant. There must be something wrong in some link. This kind of problem is probably difficult to eradicate. I believe that King Qingluan and Fu Xigui also know that Yao Qiong has no chance of becoming Queen Mother of the West, or in other words: Queen Mother of the West, it is impossible for her to reappear!"
"You mean..."
"The battle for the feather is just a step they found for themselves! Father, just think: this situation now Who dares to compete with Demon Lord Mo Xiao for his natal feathers? Once Demon Lord takes back his natal feathers, his strength will be even higher. Who can stop him? By then, those royalists and even Yao Qiong himself will probably retreat in the face of difficulties! The Western Wilderness Demon Realm is the world of Western Wilderness demon cultivators. Maybe it's time to change the master! "
"As you said, how should a father deal with it?"
"Father, just follow the rules! In the battle for the feathers, although the child also wants to stand out and bring glory to the family, the child's strength is there, which is comparable to that of Zi Yao, and I'm afraid it won't be able to reach that step. In the end, it must be a duel between the disciples of the great demon kings. Fortunately, there are no outstanding disciples under the throne of King Qingluan, otherwise, the child really thought it was a plan of King Qingluan. "
"...Okay! Just listen to Yu'er!"
At the same time, none of the major demon kings in the Western Wilderness Demon Realm can survive alone.
If we talk about the one who is detached from the world, it is the Mo Xiao Demon Venerable who is at the center of the storm!
However, with Mo Xiao Demon Venerable's current strength and status, even if he does not want to fight for the natal feather, there are still people who will help him fight for it.
Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha has always been a great thing!
No matter what, the entire Western Wilderness was in an uproar because of the fight for the feather.
At this time, Xiao Mian, on the contrary, stayed out of it.
With the permission of King Qingluan, Xiao Mian walked out of the Queen Mother's Palace and strolled around casually.
Although it seemed casual, Xiao Mian's goal was the ancient sacred tree - Jianmu!
There is no shortage of sacred trees in this world.
For example, the immortal sacred tree, the Fusang tree, the Bodhi tree...
The most famous one among them is Jianmu!
In Xiao Mian's fairy stone space, there are already Bodhi trees, Fusang trees and immortal sacred trees. If he can get the branches of Jianmu, it will surely be even more extraordinary.
Besides, Jianmu, as an ancient sacred tree, connects directly to the heaven and earth and is extremely large.
Although Jianmu has been broken, its roots are still intact.
Conservatively estimated, the diameter of Jianmu's roots is probably thousands of miles away!
Only in this way can the roots be deep and the leaves be lush, and can they reach the sky!
However, Xiao Mian circled around the roots of Jianmu, and all he saw was dead, not to mention branches, not even a leaf.
The whole Jianmu withered!
The Jianmu, which was supposed to be wood, weathered into a dead object that was neither gold nor stone.
It seems that Xiao Mian's wish to transplant Jianmu is going to fail...
Even so, Xiao Mian is not without gain.
Under the guidance of the Spirit-Seeing Eye, Xiao Mian found a branch.
Although this branch has also been weathered, it is extremely graceful.
It is nearly an inch long, as thick as a finger, as straight as an arrow, and as tough as bamboo.
What's more rare is that there is a tiny bud on the top of this branch.
Although this bud has completely lost its vitality, it contains a huge amount of spiritual energy, which is why it can be found by the spiritual eyes.
This thing is just what Xiao Mian needs, so Xiao Mian didn't hesitate to put it in his arms.
I think this twig has been here for thousands of years, and no one cares about it.
It's not that the thing is bad, but that no one knows the value of it.
Xiao Mian naturally won't be polite when he sees it.
For that twig, it's also an opportunity.
After getting this piece of rare treasure, Xiao Mian returned to the Queen Mother's Palace and met King Qingluan.
"King Qingluan! I wonder if there is any secret library in the Queen Mother's Palace?"
"Secret library? What does the special envoy mean?"
While King Qingluan looked suspicious, Xiao Mian had already started to talk nonsense...
