"My understanding of him is actually not very deep. Stealing the Heaven Cauldron is considered his final work. Because of this, in my eyes, he is a gray-haired old man, and this may be his true appearance."
Sora continued to recall the past.
When Yuan Ming listened to Kong's narration, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable respect in his heart.
He suddenly thought of a question: "So, if he placed the body here, doesn't it mean that the Stealing Heaven Cauldron is actually his coffin?"
Kong nodded slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Maybe, I can't guess his real intention. But one thing is for sure, although he has passed away, this body still has a trace of mystery. You just need to
After bowing respectfully before him, you can ask him any question and he will answer it for you. But the premise is that you must make corresponding efforts as reward, otherwise he will not speak."
Yuan Ming was stunned when he heard this. This method of obtaining answers made him feel a little familiar.
He looked at Kong thoughtfully, and Kong seemed to have guessed his thoughts and smiled faintly: "Yes, I used his power to answer those questions of yours."
Yuan Ming did not look down on Kong because of this, but felt grateful.
After all, without Kong's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to get help from this statue.
"Excuse me, where is the Wu Tu Yuan Stone now?" Yuan Ming thought for a moment, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully towards the statue.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Kong: "There is no need to ask him this question. I have promised you before that I will help you restore the Tiantian Cauldron. I already know the whereabouts of the Wutu Yuanshi, and it is in the Nine Kings Lake.
.”
Jiuwang Lake, this place name is not unfamiliar to Yuan Ming.
Although it is located in far away Zhongzhou, distance is not a problem for him now.
Since Kong had informed him of the whereabouts of the Wu Tu Yuan Stone, Yuan Ming had no need to ask again.
He thought for a moment and then thought of another question.
"Please help me point out the location of the monk or the spiritual treasure that contains the true meaning of the Water Emperor, the Earth Emperor, and the Gold Emperor." Yuan Ming respectfully made a request to the statue.
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue in the palace suddenly moved.
It slowly raised its head, and two faint spiritual lights suddenly lit up in its empty eyes, shining directly on Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming suddenly felt a feeling of being watched by a mysterious force, and was shocked.
However, what surprised him even more was that at this moment, the Hunyuan Dao Seal in his Dantian suddenly started to operate independently, emitting a faint light.
"The future achievements of this method are immeasurable. You should practice it for a long time." The statue suddenly spoke and pointed at Yuan Ming's Dantian.
Yuan Ming was shocked in his heart and hurriedly used his spiritual consciousness to check, but found that there was no life on the statue.
"Senior Kong, are you sure he is really dead?" He couldn't help feeling confused and turned to look at Kong.
"There is no way he is alive. I saw him die with my own eyes, and I personally completed the last step of transforming his body into a statue. There is no way there is a mistake!" Kong also showed a shocked expression at this time.
Yuan Ming looked at the statue in front of him with surprise and uncertainty in his heart.
Although he had doubts about whether the person who made the Heaven Stealing Cauldron was still alive, there was indeed no life on the statue, and he could never be wrong about this.
After all, he carries the World Tree and has an extremely keen sense of life.
The statue did not seem to notice the surprise of Yuan Ming and Kong, and continued to respond mechanically to Yuan Ming's questions.
"Your question requires a thousand Wish Power Pills as a price to get the answer." The statue's tone was cold and stiff, without any emotion.
Yuan Ming frowned when he heard this.
Since the establishment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the number of his followers has increased significantly, and the generation speed of the Wish Power Pill has also accelerated a lot, and one can be condensed in almost a day.
But the consumption of the Wish Power Pill is also huge.
In order to improve the strength of the Ming Yue cultists, he had previously invested almost regardless of the cost, but now he only had over a hundred Wish Power Pills left in his hand.
"Can you be accommodating? Or just tell me the location of a monk who contains the true meaning of the emperor?" Yuan Ming asked hesitantly, secretly thinking about how to collect these one thousand wish power pills.
The statue was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about Yuan Ming's request.
After a long time, it spoke again: "One thousand wish power pills can be paid in installments, up to ten years."
When Yuan Ming heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Wish Li Dan requires a lot, it is not impossible to complete within ten years.
He has decided to adjust Yuanlidan's spending plan immediately after returning and strive to fill the bill as soon as possible.
"There are twenty-seven monks or spiritual treasures that meet the requirements. The list is as follows..." The statue instantly sucked away the hundred wish pills in Yuan Ming's hand, and the light in his eyes flashed for a moment before giving him the answers he longed for.
come out.
Yuan Ming listened attentively and wrote down the information one by one the statue said.
He had to sigh that these thousand wishing pills were indeed not in vain.
The list provided by the statue not only details the specific location of each person or spirit treasure, but also comes with their general information.
What really surprised Yuan Ming was that there were so many monks or spiritual treasures in the Izumo Realm who possessed emperor-level true meaning.
His original estimate of the number was less than ten, but now it seems that the actual number is more than twice the estimate.
Yuan Ming memorized the information one by one, then pondered for a moment and carefully selected the three easiest targets.
He looked at the statue again, with a respectful look on his face, bowed slowly, and asked: "May I ask, senior, what is so extraordinary about the "Hunyuan Zhen Gong"?"
The statue was like a dead thing, unresponsive.
The aura in its eyes quickly dissipated, as if it had never been awakened.
"He will not answer any more questions until you have paid one thousand wish pills." Kong reminded.
At this time, his expression also calmed down, and he lowered his head to look at Yuan Ming's Dantian: "Besides, this statue has a very high vision. Since the "Hunyuan True Skill" can cause the reaction of his corpse, it shows that this method is not trivial. If you want to answer this question
The problem is, the amount of Wish Power Pills required must be quite large."
Yuan Ming nodded. He also realized this. The question just now was just to test whether the statue would have any other special reactions.
Since the test was fruitless, he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart, turned around and left the hall.
…
The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters.
In a quiet retreat room, Wu Yu sat cross-legged quietly. She formed seals with her hands, her demonic power surged, and she ran her exercises with all her strength, trying to heal the injuries she suffered due to her failure to break through to the Mahayana.
In the retreat room, the light is soft and the air is filled with a faint aroma of elixir.
As time went by, Wu Yu's complexion gradually improved, but his cultivation still failed to return to the peak state of Dharma.
The failure to break through to the Mahayana caused irreparable damage to her foundation, and she knew full well that this could not be fully recovered in a short time.
She closed her eyes and pondered, feeling a little worried in her heart.
I don't know when she will be able to walk out of this solitary room again and see the light of day again.
And what will the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom look like at that time?
Just as she was sighing secretly, the door to the retreat room suddenly opened slowly, but no one came out.
This strange situation made Wu Yu's heart tighten. She immediately raised her demon power and watched the door warily.
"Who? Da Ri Liu Li Yan, is that you?" Wu Yu asked, a bit nervous in his voice.
There was still silence in the retreat room, without any response.
Her consciousness quickly scanned the entire retreat room, but she found no trace of anyone.
This strange sight made Wu Yu even more confused and uncertain, and she almost didn't dare to breathe.
At this moment, Wu Yu suddenly discovered that the Jumang Daozhu placed not far away had disappeared out of thin air, and was replaced by a white jade porcelain vase.
She was startled, and immediately cast a spell. The fox-tail shadow swept in that direction, but still didn't hit anyone.
The door to the retreat room slowly closed again at this time, and the soft sound was as harsh as thunder in Wu Yu's ears.
She stood up in an instant, walked quickly to the door, carefully checked the restrictions, and after confirming that they were intact, she looked back at the house.
There was silence in the house, as if nothing had happened.
Wu Yu knew clearly that Jumang Daozhu had indeed disappeared, and the white jade porcelain bottle was by no means an illusion.
She walked to the porcelain bottle and carefully used her spiritual sense to explore its contents.
I saw an elixir in the bottle, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. It was obviously a high-grade elixir for healing the foundation.
Wu Yu couldn't help but feel waves in his heart when he looked at the elixir.
She recalled the messages she had seen back then, and possible names came to mind one by one.
"Nine babies? Or..." she whispered softly, with an unclear expression on her face.
She knew that this elixir did not appear for no reason, and there must be a deep meaning behind it.
On the other side, Yuan Ming had already walked out of the Demon Emperor's Palace with ease.
He used the invisibility ability of the yin-moon body to leave there quietly without anyone noticing.
He was playing with the Jumang Daozhu he had just obtained in his hand, and he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Thinking of Wu Yu whom he had just met, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Wu Yu, who once put him under considerable pressure, is no longer his opponent after failing to break through to Mahayana.
He could have taken the Jumang Daozhu directly, but after thinking about it, he still left a bottle of root-healing elixir.
He knew that although Wu Yu's cultivation was damaged, her influence in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters could not be underestimated.
If she can recover her cultivation as soon as possible, she may be able to stabilize the situation in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom a little.
Nowadays, the demon kings of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are independent in their own affairs, with several factions attacking each other, and the situation is becoming increasingly unstable.
Although this kind of conflict is beneficial to the human race, Yuan Ming also understands that once the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom becomes too turbulent, it will inevitably affect the stability and output of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
Therefore, a turbulent but not so turbulent Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom is the best Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom in Yuan Ming's mind.
While he was imagining the future of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters in his mind, he quickly fled towards the nearest city.
The Jumang Daozhu, which contains the true meaning of the Wood Emperor, has been obtained. Next, he will go outside the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains to find several other targets obtained from the statue's mouth.
