Inside the Demon Emperor Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and awe-inspiring.

The Black Bear King led a group of demon soldiers, who neatly bowed in respect, paying homage to Wu Yu seated at the main seat.

"Your Majesty, an urgent message has arrived from the clansmen at Dragon Ridge. The demon bear, which has been dormant in Black Wind Gorge for many years, has awakened and been demonized due to the erosion of Demonic Qi. It was originally a Level 5 Great Demon, and now, after demonization, its strength is almost approaching Level 6, posing a great threat." At the behest of the Black Bear King, a demon soldier stepped forward and reported in a deep voice.

"Is there anything else?" Wu Yu slightly raised her eyebrows, gently nodding her head, and asked faintly.

Another demon soldier continued to report, "In the vicinity of Phoenix Mountain, Demonic Qi is rampant. Over a dozen demon beasts have been demonized, and they are fighting among themselves. It is estimated that within a few days, a Level 5 demon beast will be born. Fortunately, these demonized demon beasts have not yet spread outward."

"As for the situation at Old Hei Lin, the demonized demon beasts appeared not long ago and have already been eradicated by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, without troubling our clansmen," another demon soldier added.

The group of demon soldiers reported the situation of demon beasts' demonization in various parts of Ten Thousand Demon Country one by one. After listening, Wu Yu's expression remained unchanged, seemingly without any worries.

"Your Majesty, if the demonized creature in Black Wind Gorge is not stopped, it may lead to catastrophe. Please allow me to handle it," the Black Bear King stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said.

"There is no need for you to intervene in this matter. Just perform your duties of inspection well," Wu Yu glanced at him and said indifferently.

"As you command." The Black Bear King hesitated slightly but eventually nodded in compliance.

Wu Yu slightly raised her eyes and looked at the group of demon soldiers, softly saying, "Regarding the demonization of demon beasts, you only need to sincerely pray to the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor, and the Demon Emperor will naturally protect you."

Her voice was soft yet full of power, seemingly possessing a certain magic, gradually calming the initially anxious demon soldiers.

"As you command!" the group of demons responded in unison.

After the demon soldiers retreated with the Black Bear King, Wu Yu slowly got up and stepped into the inner chamber of the grand hall.

There stood a black statue towering solemnly, the embodiment of the Nether Moon God.

Wu Yu looked at the statue with a complex expression, clasping her hands in front of her chest and began to sincerely pray.

Her Vow Power slowly infused into the statue, and soon after, she received a response from the Nether Moon God.

Feeling more relieved after receiving the response, Wu Yu continued praying, steadily generating Vow Power.

A moment later, a projected image appeared in her mind.

In the image, deep within Black Wind Gorge of Dragon Ridge, the nearly Level 6 demonized bear demon was instantly slain by a massive green sword light that appeared out of nowhere, dying a miserable death.

"Thank you," Wu Yu expressed her heartfelt gratitude after seeing the image, exhaling gently.

Then, she quietly continued to pray for another hour before lowering her clasped hands.

At this moment, a stream of light appeared beside her, forming the figure of the Great Sun Glaze Flame.

"It seems you have indeed let go of the Demon Clan's dignity. Remember the time you even fought to the death, yet now you ask for his help without any hesitation," the Great Sun Glaze Flame spoke with a hint of mockery in the tone.

In response, Wu Yu's expression remained as calm as water, faintly saying, "As long as I can protect the Ten Thousand Demon Country and shelter my clansmen, I am willing to pay any price."

The Great Sun Glaze Flame sighed upon hearing this and said no more.

At this moment, Wu Yu lightly turned her wrist, and a blue jade piece appeared in her palm.

On the jade piece, golden characters the size of rice grains emerged one by one, forming a directory of Spiritual Medicine.

After glancing at it, she communicated with the clan members.

Soon, a demon soldier hurriedly arrived, holding a purple square box.

The Spiritual Medicine listed on the directory was inside the box.

Wu Yu once again approached the Nether Moon God Statue and prayed sincerely.

A moment later, golden and silver lights gathered to form a Light Gate.

Guided by an invisible force, the purple box flew into the Light Gate and disappeared.

Seeing this, Wu Yu's expression remained calm, as if she had long been accustomed to this.

...

Inside the Stealing Heaven Tripod, Yuan Ming stood quietly beside the White Jade Lotus Platform.

He waved his hand lightly, as if plucking strings in the void, and the purple box appeared dreamlike before him.

At this moment, his aura was as heavy as a mountain and as vast as the sea, and his cultivation had evidently reached the pinnacle of the late Dharma manifestation Stage.

Twenty years ago, with the power of the gray statue, he finally found the Earth Element Stone and placed it within the Array of the Stealing Heaven Tripod.

Since then, the Divine Skill of the Stealing Heaven Tripod to transmit items was restored.

Beside him, on the other side of the White Jade Lotus Platform, stood a statue identical to the statue of the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, continuously receiving Vow Power from the Demon Clan.

As early as fifty years ago, under Yuan Ming's wise governance, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals had attained high prestige. Wu Yu voluntarily sought out Yuan Ming and expressed her willingness to worship the Nether Moon God.

For such a submission from a Dharma Phase Cultivator, Yuan Ming gladly accepted and agreed immediately.

Since then, Wu Yu led the Demon Clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Country to provide Yuan Ming with Vow Power, striving to restrain the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, avoiding conflicts with the cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Yuan Ming promised to protect the Demon Clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, ensuring that the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals would not target them.

Yuan Ming did not harbor much malice toward the Ten Thousand Demon Country. Although he knew they had previously colluded with the Demon World and the Three Realms Sect, they had now been abandoned by the Demon World and could not become a significant threat, so he did not dwell on it.

As long as the Ten Thousand Demon Country behaved themselves and provided him with Desire Power, he didn't mind protecting them.

In fact, Wu Yu's choice to side with Yuan Ming was out of desperation.

The Electric Roc King and the Flame Wolf King were dissatisfied with her rule and had treacherous intentions. Overthrowing her rule was imminent.

To stabilize the rule of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, Yuan Ming enticed and killed the Electric Roc King, Flame Wolf King, and Green Snake King, these three demon kings who were hostile to the Human Clan.

Originally, Wu Yu only intended to use Yuan Ming to get rid of the Electric Roc King and the Flame Wolf King, but Yuan Ming did not act entirely according to her wishes and also eliminated the Green Snake King.

This action significantly weakened the Ten Thousand Demon Country, making it difficult for them to stir up trouble in the future.

Since then, the Ten Thousand Demon Country indeed became much more low-key and behaved more honestly.

After leaving the Stealing Heaven Tripod Space, Yuan Ming arrived at the City Lord Mansion and summoned Wang Fulong.

He handed over the batch of spiritual medicine he had just obtained to Wang Fulong, instructing him to pass it to Dian Xiaosan, who was in seclusion refining pills, to refine a pill known as the "Five Elements Rejuvenation Pill."

This elixir significantly aids Nascent Soul cultivators in breaking through to the Returning to Void Stage.

In the main hall, Wang Fulong looked up at Yuan Ming seated high above, feeling a trace of awe in his heart.

As time passed, he did not feel that Yuan Ming became more approachable; instead, he felt that his majesty grew heavier and more unfathomable.

The Yuan Ming before him seemed like the embodiment of the source of all laws; just a glance made the mana inside him restless, as if Yuan Ming could absorb his mana completely with just a raise of his hand.

"With Fellow Daoist Dian Xiaosan's alchemy technique and these spiritual materials and spiritual medicine, they should be able to refine nearly nine elixirs. Soon, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals will have a few more Returning to Void Stage cultivators," Wang Fulong said with a slight smile after regaining his composure after examining the spiritual medicine Yuan Ming gave him.

"How many Returning to Void Stage cultivators are there in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals now?" Yuan Ming nodded and asked.

"There are currently 120 Returning to Void Stage cultivators, and 28 Dharma Phase cultivators," Wang Fulong replied respectfully.

Yuan Ming nodded slightly, gesturing for him to continue.

Wang Fulong carefully glanced at him, seeing that there were no other instructions, he continued: "At the Moon Sect, among the Soul Cultivators, there are 260 Soul Witches, 98 Illusion Witches, 22 Love Witches, 15 Sleeping Witches, and already four Spoken Witches."

Yuan Ming, upon hearing this, showed a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Over the past sixty years, he continuously distributed Vow Power Pills to the Nether Moon Sect members and mobilized vast resources to aid their cultivation; now, this force was quite considerable.

These soul cultivators were not ordinary believers; they had converted from being magic practitioners, and their strength could not be underestimated.

Yuan Ming was also aware that aside from White Emperor City and the Moon Sect, the situation of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals was very complex, with loose internal management and numerous problems.

It was currently relying on his powerful strength to suppress and prevent significant conflicts from breaking out within the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.

Should anything happen to him, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals might immediately fall apart.

However, Yuan Ming did not have high expectations of these people. As long as they could provide a stable flow of Desire Power, he would be satisfied.

He did not care too much about other matters.

"Is there any news about Xi Ying at Ming Yue Palace?" Yuan Ming suddenly asked.

Wang Fulong was momentarily stunned but quickly understood that Yuan Ming was inquiring about Xi Ying, and hurriedly responded: "Daoist Xi Ying is highly valued in Ming Yue Palace and has been in closed-door cultivation in a forbidden area for years. It is said that she has been designated as a candidate for Goddess by the Bright Moon Palace Master."

Yuan Ming, upon hearing this, couldn't help but frown slightly, a wave of worry rising in his heart.

Previously, Xi Ying had mentioned wanting to give him the Eighth Layer cultivation technique of the Moonlight Technique, but since then, Xi Ying had been out of touch, and even the cultivation technique had not been sent.

When he tried possession, he found that Xi Ying's Three Corpse Avatars were sealed, and Guoguo was taken away. His connection with Xi Ying had been severed.

If he hadn't learned from the Stealing Heaven Tripod gray statue that Xi Ying was safe, he would have already gone to Ming Yue Palace to demand her return.

Seeing Yuan Ming's grim expression, Wang Fulong couldn't help but feel nervous, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

He could feel Yuan Ming's mana affecting him more and more, almost unbearably so.

At this moment, Yuan Ming returned to his senses, noticed Wang Fulong's distress, and said indifferently, "You may go about your work."

Relieved, Wang Fulong bowed and quickly exited the main hall.

Looking at Wang Fulong's departing figure, Yuan Ming couldn't help but chuckle.

The reason Wang Fulong behaved in such a manner was entirely due to the power of the Five Elements Dao Fruit he cultivated.

This Five Elements Dao Fruit ranked among the top three Great Divine Powers, with extraordinary might.

Although he had already cultivated four Dao Fruits, the Gold Element Dao Fruit was not completed yet, so he could not fully suppress the oppression of the Five Elements Dao Fruit, resulting in its leakage.

With Wang Fulong's cultivation level, naturally, he felt immense pressure in his presence, and those with lower cultivation could not even get close.

Fortunately, the True Intent of the Golden Emperor was about to be fully comprehended, and by then he would be able to perfectly control the Five Elements Dao Fruit, preventing any uncontrollable pressure from occurring.
