"Perhaps, Ying Xiao doesn't think so."
Zhang Dongyun said calmly.
Ao Kong fell into deep thought when he heard this.
He looked up at the Daoist robe. "There's a problem. If Mo Li really found the Nine Suns Pearl, where did the pearl go? Why was this Daoist robe left at the bottom of the sea? "
Zhang Dongyun said, "We can slowly investigate some details. For us, the most important thing is to know what Ying Xiao wants to do."
He had specially checked Chen Chaoyan's soul.
There seemed to be something special about it.
As a result, Chen Chaoyan only had some intuition left. She was still unable to awaken the wisdom of her previous life.
He just didn't know if the person who did this was someone else or her previous life's Daoist Mo Li.
"Mm, maybe we can use this to fish out Ying Xiao, that coward." Ao Kong Slowly nodded.
Zhang Dongyun smiled calmly. "He won't be able to escape."
Ao Kong nodded. Then, he closed his eyes and stood quietly on the spot. He didn't speak or move.
Zhang Dongyun saw this and didn't call out to him. He just watched quietly.
After a while, Ao Kong opened his eyes and said, "Boss, I'm going to go into seclusion again."
Zhang Dongyun asked, "It seems that Ying Xiao has given you more motivation."
"A little inspiration."
Ao Kong said, "I should be able to clear some of the barriers that I was thinking about previously."
Zhang Dongyun waved his hand. "Go ahead."
Ao Kong nodded. After bidding farewell to him, he went to find Mr. Dark Cloud.
Zhang Dongyun saw this and knew what the other party wanted to do.
Ao Kong was still the same as before. He waited for his daughter, Ao Ying, and Chen Chaoyan to return from the East Sea. He guided his daughter and He Sanyang in their cultivation. Then, he went into seclusion.
On the other side, the Flying Snake Meteor came up to Mr. Dark Cloud eagerly. "Sir, is there any task suitable for me to do recently?"
He raised his tail. Mr Dark Cloud already knew what he was thinking.
"Not bad. You still know that you have to strive for meritorious service in order to be rewarded."
Yun Xing's appearance changed.
The gigantic Flying Serpent shrunk its body and transformed into a human. It was a tall and skinny man who appeared to be about thirty years old.
Yun Xing was already a Ninth Realm Demon King. If he wanted to transform into a human, it would be easy for him to do so. Moreover, there would not be any abnormalities on his appearance, which would make others realize that he was not a real human.
The man cupped his hands toward Mr. Dark Cloud and said, "I'm not insatiable. I just want to improve my cultivation and strength so that I can do more things for Chang 'an and make more contributions. I hope you'll forgive me."
"Even if you did the deed of mending the heavens, you can forget about the flesh and blood of that Constellation Realm Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird," Mr Dark Cloud said calmly.
Yun Xing was a little embarrassed. "Yes, sir."
"The current you can't afford it."
Mr Dark Cloud glanced at him. "You should at least become a Demon Emperor before you can consider it. Otherwise, the power of stars contained in its flesh and blood is enough to blow you to death."
Yun Xing quickly said, "I was too eager for success. Please forgive me."
Mr Dark Cloud looked at him. "You want to improve as soon as possible so that you can work for Chang 'an?"
Yun Xing nodded. "Yes, sir. I'm telling the truth. If it weren't for Chang 'an, I would have been hunted down by that Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird. If he found me, I would have become his food instead.
Besides, it was also because of Chang 'an that I was able to purify my bloodline and become a Flying Serpent. I also reached the Demon King Realm and the Demon Emperor Realm in such a short time. "
Mr Dark Cloud said, "If that's the case, I have other ways to help you become a Demon Emperor as soon as possible. After all, you've already devoured the flesh and blood of that Starlight Realm Great Peng Bird. However, although this method can speed up the process, it's extremely painful."
Yun Xing hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth. "Sir, I'm willing to give it a try!"
There was a huge gap between a Demon Emperor and a Demon of the first nine realms.
In order to become a Demon Emperor as soon as possible, Yun Xing decided to give it a try.
If he could become a Demon Emperor and absorb starlight into his body, he would at least be able to protect himself against most opponents.
Especially now that he had purified his bloodline and become a Flying Serpent, if he could break through the ninth realm and reach the tenth realm, he would at least have a chance to escape from the eleventh realm Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird.
Mr Dark Cloud looked at him and smiled. "Not bad. You're worth teaching."
After that, he raised his hand and pointed at Yun Xing in front of him.
Then, a red spot of blood bloomed between the eyebrows of Yun Xing, who looked like a tall and thin human. It was as if Mr Dark Cloud had poked his head open.
Yun Xing was stunned. Then, without a word, he fell to the ground on his back, motionless, as if he was dead.
After a while, his body suddenly started to twitch violently.
Then, he could no longer maintain his human form. He rolled and turned back into a winged Flying Serpent that was a hundred meters long.
The Flying Serpent rolled restlessly. The black scales all over its body kept opening and closing. Then, a large amount of blood seeped out.
The giant serpent opened its mouth and let out a long, painful hiss.
In the end, he could not even make a "hiss" sound when he opened his mouth.
His body was limp and powerless on the ground. He could not move.
Mr Dark Cloud looked him up and down. Slowly, he nodded. "Not bad. You're a promising talent. Go down and rest. You'll have to go through this every day until your body is strong enough."
Yun Xing lay on the ground for a long time, still unable to move. But he could finally open his mouth and say, "Thank … Thank you, Sir …"
He took a long time to recover. He struggled to get up and then sank to the ground.
However, Yun Xing found that after one night, he was full of energy the next day. He had recovered his strength.
After carefully inspecting his body, Soaring Serpent Meteor discovered that his physical body and soul were indeed much stronger than before.
It was only a difference of one day.
Mr Dark Cloud's method was indeed effective. And it was a pleasant surprise. The effect was far beyond his expectations.
Yun Xing shuddered when he thought of what he felt the day before. He felt as if he had died once and now he was resurrected.
But in order to break through to the Demon Royal Realm one day, Yun Xing gritted his teeth and went to see Mr Dark Cloud again.
After Mr Dark Cloud allowed him to come in, he did not say anything and pointed at the serpent again.
So, the giant Flying Serpent was hovering between life and death again.
Every time he left, Yun Xing swore in his heart that he would never come back again.
Every time, he was close to death.
When other things were repeated too many times, people would gradually become numb.
But when things like this were repeated again and again, people would not become numb. They would only break down.
However, every time the next morning, Yun Xing felt that he was full of energy, and his strength was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, he would obediently go to see Mr. Dark Cloud again, and then continue to be drilled to death by him.
About half a month later, Yun Xing came again early in the morning. Suddenly, he had an epiphany and a feeling came to him.
He could do it.
So, the giant Flying Serpent immediately looked up to the sky and hissed silently.
A beam of spiritual light shot up to the sky, broke through the clouds, and went straight to the horizon.
Under the guidance of the spiritual light, the blue sky Slowly darkened, revealing darkness like the night sky.
Then, starlight suddenly shone in the darkness.
The starlight was attracted by Yun Xing's spiritual light. They fell from the sky and merged into his body.
Under the support of the starlight, Yun Xing the Flying Serpent felt pain at first, as if his body was about to explode.
But slowly, he began to get used to the support of the starlight.
He spread his wings and covered the sky. The black scales all over his body kept opening and closing.
Strong demonic energy flowed out of him and spread everywhere, shaking people's hearts.
People in the inner city of Chang 'an and even the first layer of the outer city had never seen the giant Flying Serpent, but they were all frightened by the demonic energy.
Yun Xing came to his senses and quickly restrained his demonic energy.
The spiritual light above his head disappeared. The night sky in the sky became illusory and then disappeared.
The starlight on his body disappeared, but Yun Xing the Flying Serpent only felt comfortable all over.
After bathing in the starlight, Yun Xing still felt that his demonic energy seemed to be more abundant than before, even though the starlight was gone.
He hurried to the Divine Pivot Hall and asked to see Mr Dark Cloud.
"Not bad."
Mr Dark Cloud nodded approvingly when he saw him, but there was no smile on his face. "But you were too complacent. You scared the people in the city."
"I was too complacent in the moment of joy. Please punish me." Yun Xing lowered his head. "Thank you for teaching me cultivation and making me what I am today."
After the joy, Yun Xing the Flying Serpent felt that it was unreal.
Less than a year ago, he was still in the Eighth Realm.
Most of the time, big demons in the Eighth Realm could be free and unrestrained.
But in front of Demon Emperors, big demons in the Eighth Realm were just food.
Of course, he also dreamed of becoming a Demon Emperor.
Back then, as the Earth Dragon, he had the bloodline of the True Dragon and the Flying Serpent. His cultivation methods were not weak. Yun Xing had the hope of becoming a Demon Emperor.
But how many years would it take?
A few decades, or a few centuries?
But now, he had broken through to the realm he had always dreamed of in less than a year.
Yun Xing felt like he was in a dream.
"You can stay in Chang 'an because of His Majesty's generosity. Thank Mr. Zhang for letting you be his mount," Mr Dark Cloud said calmly.
In addition to the guidance of cultivation methods and the flesh and blood of the Golden-winged Giant Peng Bird, Chang 'an had abundant Spiritual Qi, which was also the key to Yun Xing's rapid progress.
Yun Xing the Flying Serpent was willing to submit. "Thank you, His Majesty. Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
His breakthrough meant that there was one more Tenth Realm cultivator in the city.
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun saw this and nodded with a smile.
At the same time, he had another double blessing.
[City Lord has successfully dismantled and subdivided the law enforcement department in the city to fit the current needs of the city. Construction Task 8.1 has been completed. You have received 2,500 experience points for leveling up.]
Hearing the System's notification, Zhang Dongyun could not help but laugh.
Then, he refreshed the System's task list.
[Construction Task 8.2 — Expand the city and increase the population. The average literacy of the residents has decreased. City Lord, please improve the literacy of the residents and reduce the illiteracy rate to below 10%.]
