Chapter 1002: Chapter 641: Dixiu’s Pact (Part 2)

The bamboo forest also houses the Chi Bear Race.

Though I accidentally entered their territory, the Chi Bear Race is very friendly.

I have a deep impression of that place, and after leaving the bamboo forest, I encountered the Dixiu Tree."

Fu Jianzhou pondered: "Do you mean that Master and Junior Brother ventured from the Kunlun Realm to Within the Celestial Realm in the Ashen World?"

Bai Lan: "Provided that this tree grows in a specific region."

Fu Jianzhou nodded silently: "And we also don’t know if the geographical environment of the Ashen World is the same as our continent."

Meanwhile, beneath the Dixiu Tree.

Welcomed by the lush branches, Du Yu landed beside a woman at the mountain’s peak.

"Master Qing." Du Yu greeted respectfully.

"So leisurely?" Yang Qingqing meditated with her eyes closed, speaking casually.

Du Yu: "..."

You woman!

I came to see you, but you found fault with that?

Yang Qingqing opened her eyes and saw her disciple’s murmuring expression.

She couldn’t help but smile slightly: "I came here to spend time with Dixiu, why are you looking for me?"

Oh~

You still know to accompany your own demonic plant?

Du Yu looked at the woman before him: "Master Qing, do you remember what you said to the Jade Gourd when we left Gourd Mountain back then?"

Yang Qingqing thought seriously for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, with a hint of self-mockery.

"I once promised the Gourd Spirit that I would take you to visit it eventually." The woman gently sighed.

It has been a year and a half since they parted last.

She has to admit, she indeed forgot because she was busy.

Over the past year and a half, Yang Qingqing’s life has undergone drastic changes, she is no longer the leisurely university teacher she once was.

To be precise, the change in her Demon Taming destiny traces back to the moment she took Du Yu under her wing.

Du Yu sat down: "So, Master Qing, do you want me to bring greetings to the gourd?"

The woman nodded gently: "Okay."

Du Yu: "Or, Master Qing can greet it personally?"

Yang Qingqing shook her head: "Gourd Mountain is unlike other Bottomless regions; it is a military stronghold, no unauthorized persons can enter.

Since you have the opportunity, help me bring greetings."

Du Yu, however, was not willing to give up, and boldly showed his cards: "Master Qing still needs an auxiliary Spiritual Artifact for cultivation."

Finally, someone showed their sly intentions.

Yang Qingqing looked seriously at her disciple: "The existence of Gourd Mountain concerns Great Xia’s plan to train Demon Spirit Soldiers.

I cannot disrupt the overall situation for personal gain."

Du Yu pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Yang Qingqing’s eyes softened, speaking lightly: "I know you mean well, I understand."

Saying words of thanks would feel distant, yet she truly felt grateful in her heart, filled with emotion.

For a moment, Yang Qingqing’s already self-mocking smile grew even more meaningful.

Having such a resourceful disciple, always thinking about herself...

How could her Demon Taming destiny not change?

Under the tree, there was silence.

Yang Qingqing waited patiently for a moment, then sought: "Du Yu?"

"I understand." Du Yu nodded, "Rest assured, Master Qing, I won’t ruin Great Xia’s plan to train Demon Spirit Soldiers."

Yang Qingqing softly said "Mm," but couldn’t shake the feeling that her disciple’s words had deeper meaning?

As it turned out, Yang Qingqing indeed understands Du Yu very well.

She could detect a hint of truth from her disciple’s mere words.

Yet Du Yu’s thoughts were deeply buried, not intending to share with anyone.

What if...

I cut down the Cold Tree at Gourd Mountain?

Without the Cold Tree’s interference, the Twin Tree Realm would be free from disturbance, the Jade Gourd could be completely liberated, and the Divine Tree can still release Spiritual Qi!

"Off you go, take care." Yang Qingqing spoke to send him off, "If needed, feel free to find me in the picture anytime."

"Yes." Du Yu’s figure slowly floated up, "By the way, Master Qing, Senior Brother Fu has returned to the Sea Realm, just outside under the Shatang Tree."

Yang Qingqing nodded, watching Du Yu leave.

As Du Yu emerged from the scroll, he found his senior brother still standing in front of the painting.

"Junior Brother, your sister just told me something." Fu Jianzhou spoke, recounting Bai Lan’s old stories.

"Oh?" Du Yu listened, amazed.

Bear in mind, during Bai Lan’s time with Great Xia, was when the Human Race and Beast Race were at the height of their fierce battle!

Yet under such a grand era backdrop, the Chi Bear Race remained friendly towards the Human Race?

It seems the Chi Bear Race didn’t participate in the battle either?

What a race!

In the Demon Taming Continent, where the Human Race and Beast Race fought fiercely, determined to eradicate each other,

the Chi Bear Race refused to join the war, choosing to stay away from the turmoil.

But when the Youhan Realm invaded the Ashen World,

The Human Race and Beast Race might not have been prepared yet, but the Chi Bear Race of that world had already emerged from the mountains!

And rushed straight to the front lines of the battlefield!

The Chi Bear Race in both worlds, their tribal civilization and racial traits, seem to perfectly align.

Meaning, the Chi Bear Race is not without combat ability, but they clearly know who the true enemy is!

To make such a decision is not simply about tribal culture or racial wisdom; surely there is a Prophet involved... Wait!

Prophet?!

Du Yu was stunned, feeling enlightened!

The Chi Bear Race on the Ashen Continent must have beings like Yinsuo.
