I Have a Golden Crow

Chapter 1094: Chapter 687: Backing?

It’s undeniable that Du Yu disturbed Kui Chou’s cultivation.

For such a long time, Kui Chou has been staying tranquilly above the dark clouds, probably always probing into the unknown areas beyond the rules.

Du Yu indeed disrupted Niuniu’s demon heart.

He bragged a lot, indicating that the Celestial Cyan Porcelain talent was extraordinary, that he found the path to the Supreme Domain within half a year, and even explored the mysterious field without restraints...

Du Yu boasted happily, but it made Niuniu envious and jealous.

Simply incurred the wrath of the bull!

If Du Yu doesn’t leave soon, he might really be kicked away by a bull’s hoof~

Returning to the Peak of All Mountains, Du Yu sought out Jia Rong Grass, the Mountain Realm God, and expressed his doubts.

Jia Rong Grass: "The support given to me by the Mountain Realm?"

"Yes." Du Yu rubbed a deep red grass leaf. "The Ancient Niuniu said it is the Mountain Realm that supports your sainthood; if you leave here, your strength would be greatly diminished."

Jia Rong Grass was silent for a while, then responded: "What my master said is true. This piece of land has given Jia Rong endless energy."

"The land?"

"The land favors me." Jia Rong Grass’s voice was aged, with a profound sense of history. "It continually provides me with nutrients, allowing me to absorb.

For hundreds of years, it was also the land that supported me, standing firm beneath these stormy clouds and thunder."

"Hmm." Du Yu pondered for a moment. "Jia Rong, have you ever thought about the path to becoming a Supreme?"

Jia Rong Grass slowly said: "Jia Rong doesn’t know whether we demonic plants can cultivate to become Supreme; Jia Rong’s talent is limited, always failing to grasp the essentials."

Du Yu: "Well, since you have this piece of land as support, why not start from here?"

Jia Rong Grass: "Please guide me, Master."

Du Yu certainly wouldn’t keep secrets: "Becoming a Supreme aims at becoming one with heaven and earth, integrating into the rules.

Every Supreme has their own domain, which can be a specific place or an abstract concept."

Du Yu wasn’t quite certain about that last sentence.

After all, the Supremes he saw, whether the Celestial Cyan Porcelain or Kui Chou, all had specific territories.

The reason Du Yu added "abstract concept" was because of the Empress Huangtu’s existence.

That Mud Po Goddess Sculpture is very spiritual!

With so many travelers from all directions coming to worship, the wishes people make, specific to people or events, naturally spread across the seas.

If the Empress Huangtu had only Langao City, how could she possibly oversee affairs from all directions?

Du Yu said solemnly: "The Mountain Realm has given you the qualification to become Supreme, the land has given you endless nutrients; if you can truly become Supreme, it will be here."

Jia Rong Grass murmured: "Become one with heaven and earth, integrate into the rules..."

Du Yu rubbed the grass leaves: "What is termed as rules, are the laws of nature. You say the land favors you, and all along, it has provided you with nutrients.

Now, try to integrate with it.

Try to see this Mountain Realm from its perspective, try...to become a part of the land."

Through his fingertips, Du Yu felt Jia Rong Grass’s intense emotional fluctuation.

Du Yu also wasn’t sure if Demon Soldiers and Demonic Plants could embark on the path to become Supreme.

But regardless, trying won’t hurt anything.

"Master, Jia Rong is enlightened." The aged voice again echoed in Du Yu’s mind, carrying immense reverence.

"I won’t disturb you any longer; I’ll go research with the Shatang Tree." Du Yu patted the grass leaves.

Saying that, Du Yu looked around.

A Mountain and Sea Bell contained the Mountain and Sea Realm.

These two realms stand apart from the mundane world, being places of unimaginable spirit and beauty.

The phrase "land of outstanding people and spirited earth" is just that.

The question arises, does each independent world outside of dust have the qualification to nurture a Supreme?

At least guarantee to nurture one, right?

Leaving aside Jia Rong and Shatang for now, at least the Sea Realm has the Qingci Saint, and the Mountain Realm has Kui Chou, the Supreme.

Both have come this far due to having an entire world as backing.

So, thinking about it...

Master Qing’s Jiangshan Realm, Mengnan’s Peach Blossom Realm, could both support at least one Demon Beast Saint?

"Hmm?" Du Yu, deep in thought, sensed something unusual beside him.

He turned his head to see the tip of a blade made of white bone, barely protruding from the ground.

Even though it’s a weapon, its posture and action clearly demonstrated its caution.

Du Yu chuckled: "Come on over."

The Lion Bone Scythe was afraid that its own actions might displease Du Yu, as its appearance signified "urging," which might invoke the master’s impatience.

Upon seeing Du Yu’s reaction, the Lion Bone Scythe felt as if it had received a great pardon, slowly emerging from the ground.

"I’ve found the bones you wanted," Du Yu said.

"Buzz~" The Lion Bone Scythe lightly vibrated, filled with delight.

Du Yu’s next words left the Lion Bone Scythe ecstatic!

Du Yu spoke: "They are the bones of a Dragon Race Demon Saint, the Dragon Bone."

"Whew~"

A dense death qi swirled, gray mist piecing together a silhouette with a cloak, kneeling beside Du Yu.

Du Yu smiled and shook his head.

The Lion Bone Scythe is different from other beings; it is a surrendered general, completely devoted.

Before it submitted, it was served by people from the Golden Lion Corps, knows the greatest etiquettes of human customs, and understands how to express gratitude and allegiance.

"Rise." Du Yu passed his hand behind him, "From now on, collaborate well with the Lynx, kill many enemies, and honor this Dragon Bone set."

"Buzz~" The Lion Bone Scythe lightly vibrated, with the gray-caped person beneath the scythe humbly bowing.

"Meow." As Du Yu extended his palm forward, the Desolate Silver Lynx opened her sleepy eyes, glancing around.

Just as she wanted to stretch, she noticed the Lion Bone Scythe, and her long tail immediately wrapped around the scythe’s handle.

Du Yu: "I’m going to get the Dragon Bone, Baojun, later you and the scythe blade assemble the body together."

"Mm." The Desolate Silver Lynx tilted its head, its long tail gently swaying.

The gigantic Lion Bone Scythe swung back and forth in the sky, emitting a powerful whooshing sound.

Du Yu patted the grass leaf beside him, "Jia Rong, lay out a large grass mat under the Celestial Gate."

"Yes!"

"Whew~" Accompanied by flickering bell shadows, Du Yu returned to the Sea Realm.

On the beach, he found heaps of giant dragon bones, and after piling them into a small mountain, he transported them all to the Mountain Realm.

With so many dragon bones, it was more than enough to supplement the body of the Emperor-grade Lion Bone Scythe.

"Baojun, pick the bones you like to assemble onto the Lion Bone Scythe," Du Yu transmitted in his mind, "You are its master."

The Desolate Silver Lynx’s sandy voice, full of magnetism, echoed in Du Yu’s mind, "I like the way you speak, keep it up in the future."

Du Yu: "..."

The Desolate Silver Lynx questioned, "Hmm?"

Du Yu replied peevishly, "Keep the remaining bones properly, when the Lion Bone Scythe returns to the Holy Weapon Realm in the future, we might need them."

Desolate Silver Lynx: "Aren’t you coming over?"

Du Yu: "I’m studying the Supreme matters with the Shatang Tree. By the way, after you’ve assembled the weapon, go play somewhere else, don’t harm the Mountain Realm Demon Beasts."

The Desolate Silver Lynx snorted and didn’t respond further.

With wind swirling around his feet, Du Yu flew over the Begonia Forest, his expression turning a bit strange.

Originally named "Lion Bone Scythe," should it get a new name after adding the White Jade Dragon Bone?

Dragon Lion Bone Scythe? Lion Dragon Bone Scythe?

Or Jade Dragon Lion Bone Scythe?

They all sound quite impressive and seem nice.

A melodious flute sound pulled Du Yu from his thoughts, and with intensified wind and fire beneath him, he swiftly flew toward the Shatang Mansion.

"Junior Brother!"

Just as Du Yu flew over the grand gates of Shatang Mansion, a delighted voice greeted him.

Senior Brother Fu was sitting cross-legged under the Shatang Tree, but not on the small pebbles, rather, on a smooth and warm jade stone path.

"Come, Xiaoyu." Fu Jianzhou’s face donned a beautiful visage.

Du Yu, somewhat puzzled, landed.

Bai Lan controlled Fu Jianzhou’s hand, which fell on Du Yu’s head, gently rubbing it, "You will meet again, don’t be too sad."

"Don’t worry, sis, it just hurts a bit," Du Yu smiled, "The pain of breaking the contract is tough, but it’s fine now."

Bai Lan gazed at the young man feigning lightheartedness, her voice gentle, "Go have an ice cream cone."

Du Yu: "Huh?"

Bai Lan smiled gracefully, "You told me before, eating sweets makes you feel better."

"Ah." Du Yu remembered, he used an ice cream cone to comfort Bai Lan last time.

Seems it left a lasting impression; she still recalls the taste of ice cream.

"We’ll go have some together later. I’ll chat with the Shatang Tree first," Du Yu nodded, jumping up, "No need to stand up, Senior Brother, keep playing your flute."

"With the Celestial Cyan Porcelain gone, you can play freely, no one can stop you now."

Fu Jianzhou: "..."

Du Yu gestured a thumbs-up downward, "When we have cold drinks later, I’ll teach you a new tune."

"Sure," Bai Lan replied happily, softly.

After Du Yu finished explaining matters to the Shatang Tree, Li Mengnan and Lin Shiwei were already waiting under the tree, looking up expectantly.

Perhaps Senior Brother Fu had given specific instructions, neither woman mentioned the Celestial Cyan Porcelain matter.

Li Mengnan even clamored to go have ice cream cones with Du Yu.

"Go, go," Du Yu was shaken by the girl’s arm once and again, feeling like his body was about to fall apart.

It’s not like I won’t let you go out, why act like I’m imprisoning you...

Though Du Yu’s previous actions did carry a bit of an imprisoning flavor.

He had left quietly, and in a bad mood, and no one knew when he would return, leaving everyone to wait in vain.

"By the way, Mengnan, how’s your demon pet?" Du Yu tried to extract his arm, casually asking.

It’s been about half a month since she called Mr. Li about getting a pet, hasn’t it?

Li Mengnan: "The Ghost Firefly Candlestick? It’s already been contracted."

"Oh?" Du Yu blinked, "Ghost Firefly Candlestick?"

Li Mengnan nodded, "This demon pet was at the Mortal Level·Peak Stage when I got it, almost ready to upgrade to Earth Level.

I didn’t return here, and after contracting the Ghost Firefly Fire Types, I’ve been cultivating in the Peach Blossom Realm.

During those days, the little fire type ate a lot of Wind Peach Fruit and ascended to the Candlestick under the Wind Peach Tree!"

The Ghost Firefly Race has two evolution chains.

The first is: Ghost Firefly Fire Types → Ghost Firefly Candlestick → Ghostly Firefly Doll → Ghost Firefly Spirit.

As a wind and fire dual attribute demon pet, this evolution chain mainly focuses on wind with fire as support.

The second evolution chain is the one Du Yu has with his Divine Ghost Firefly, primarily focusing on fire with wind as support.

Du Yu quickly said, "Let me see it."

"Ah..." Li Mengnan’s expression turned bitter, "It’s disobedient and always runs away on its own. During missions, I didn’t dare bring it with me, so I left it in the Peach Blossom Realm."

"Ha." Lin Shiwei let out a light laugh, "You’re a Demon Taming General and can’t handle an Earth-level demon pet?"

Li Mengnan frustratedly scratched her head, "This little thing is both mischievous and timid!

Whenever I scold it, it gets all weepy and trembling, making me feel unsettled. I can’t treat it like the Imprisoned Race, abusing it.

If I leave it be, it keeps stinking me out, I’m really...ugh, it smells horrid!"

Du Yu also laughed, "If I call out Little You Ying, it will surely behave."

"Yes, I was thinking the same," Li Mengnan nodded repeatedly, "I planned to ask for your help after the mission, but then we went to the Dragon Palace, and you...uh.

After we have some cold drinks, I’ll take you to the Peach Blossom Realm, help me manage this child well!"

"No problem~"
