Demon's Diary

"Real Pellet State intermediate stage"

Hearing this, Jia Lan took a breath and was extremely shocked.

It had only been less than 50 years since Liu Ming entered the Evil Ghost Way, and he was able to break through 2 realms one after another. This was no longer a matter of aptitude.

Once he successfully advanced to the Real Pellet State later stage, this situation was absolutely rare even in the long histories of the Taiqing Sect.

"The operation to clean up Hellish-Insects is basically over, but this area is still a bit dangerous. Junior sister apprentice, why don't you return to the sect with me first?" Liu Ming said as he glanced in the direction of Taiqing Sect.

"En, that's fine, but I have to send a message to Master first, so that she won't be worried." Jia Lan finally suppressed the surprise in her heart. She obediently agreed, then she took out a white talisman, said a few words to it and waved it. The communication talisman turned into a white light and flew toward the distance.

Seeing this, Liu Ming smiled and wrapped themselves in black air before dashing into the distance.

2 hours later, above the Piaomiao Peak, the inner door of Taiqing Sect, a black light flashed from a distance. It flickered for a few times, then Liu Ming and Jia Lan were revealed.

On Piaomiao Peak, it was empty at the moment.

"This time I sneaked into Sunset Peak under the orders of Sect Master Tian Ge. Although the mission has been successfully completed, I still have to report to him personally." Liu Ming said softly.

"I understand." A trace of reluctance flashed in Jia Lan's eyes, but she still nodded.

On the way back to the mountain, Liu Ming had already explained his mission to Jia Lan in general. Anyway, the operation was over, so there was no need to keep it secret.

Liu Ming nodded to Jia Lan, then he flew toward the main peak of the Taiqing Sect.

Jia Lan watched Liu Ming's figure quickly disappeared into the distance, then she sighed and walked toward Piaomiao Peak's main hall.

…

Not long after, Liu Ming came to the square in front of the main hall of the Taiqing Sect. Just as he landed, the voice of Immortal Tian Ge came to his ears.

He hurriedly walked toward the side of the hall.

After 10 minutes, in the inner room of a side hall with a size of more than 30 meters. Immortal Tian Ge sat upright on the main seat, and his face also filled with a faint joy.

"Liu Ming, you really lived up to everyone's expectations. Not only did you successfully complete the mission assigned to you by sect, but you also lured away a Celestial State Hellish-Insect?" Immortal Tian Ge sipped his spiritual tea and said with a smile.

"Sect master has given me too much credit. I was just helping with my insignificant strength." Liu Ming said modestly, not mentioning that he not only lured away the Celestial State Hellish-Insect Clan, but he even killed him.

After all, the fact a Real Pellet State intermediate stage could kill a Celestial State was a bit too shocking.

"Since this has been done, we will naturally not treat you badly." Suddenly, a deep voice came.

There was a fluctuation in the side hall. A black space fissure suddenly appeared, and a young man in gray clothes walked out of it slowly.

"Greetings, Grand Elder Xuan Yu." Immortal Tian Ge bowed.

"Greetings, grand elder." Liu Ming also bowed respectfully.

Grand Elder Xuan Yu waved his hand calmly, indicating them to cut the courtesy, then he walked to the main seat and sat down.

After Immortal Tian Ge waited for Grand Elder Xuan Yu to sit down, he also sat down on the side. Liu Ming just stood below.

"Liu Ming, this time you sealed the Hellish-Insect Clan's space tunnel, which contributed a lot to this operation. I heard from Tian Ge that this mission is an esoteric disciple trial that he arranged for you. Now that you have completed this matter, from now on, you are a member of the esoteric disciple of our sect." Grand Elder Xuan Yu said calmly.

"Thank you, Grand Elder Xuan Yu!" Liu Ming bowed in joy.

"With your merits, an esoteric discipline reward is not enough. I have prepared something special for you." Grand Elder Xuan Yu took out a crystal clear jade box from his sleeve unhurriedly, then he threw it out casually.

After the jade box turned around in the space, it landed firmly in Liu Ming's hands.

Liu Ming hesitated for a moment and opened the jade box, only to see a pair of palm-sized emerald wings lying inside. It looked like cicada wings. It was crystal clear and was emitting a faint green light.

The cicada wings were engraved with some strange spirit patterns that he had never seen. There were streams of air flowing back and forth from both sides of the cicada wings, which made it seem extremely agile.

"This thing is called Cicada Crystal Wings. It is a flying magic weapon that I used in the early years. You should keep it for self-defense." Grand Elder Xuan Yu said.

"Cicada Crystal Wings!" Immortal Tian Ge at the side was shocked when he heard this.

"Nephew Disciple Liu, you are blessed. This Cicada Crystal Wings is an extremely rare flying treasure. It is forged made of a large piece of cicada crystal stone with wind attribute and various precious materials. Once it is activated, the wings will ignite themselves to provide a speed burst. The speed is so fast that no one below the Mystic Comprenhending State can catch up. Except for some space teleportation treasures, it is hard to find a flying treasure that is faster than the Cicada Crystal Wings. Even among the Celestial State cultivators, this item is an extremely rare life-saving thing." Immortal Tian Ge turned to look at Liu Ming and said with an exclamation.

"Thank you, Grand Elder." Hearing this, Liu Ming quickly bowed to thank him.

He had never had many ways to save his life, so this one was extremely useful.

"This thing is quite easy to control. You only need to sacrificially refine it to exert its maximum effect. However, the Cicada Crystal Wings is a consumable treasure. Every time it is used, it will burn and consume its own cicada crystal stone energy. If you exceed the number of uses, this thing will disappear completely. You have to use it carefully." The young man in gray clothes added slowly.

"Yes, thank you Grand Elder Xuan Yu for reminding me." Liu Ming replied in a respectful voice, then he immediately closed the jade box gently and put it away.

For him, being able to use it several times was more than enough. After all, he would not provoke those powerful enemies who should not be provoked for no reason.

"Although the invasion of the Hellish-Insect Clan is a catastrophe to the Middle Sky Continent, it is also an opportunity. If young cultivators like you can hone your mind in this catastrophe, it will be good for you guys." Grand Elder Xuan Yu said with a deep meaning.

"Yes, disciple will definitely do my best in this catastrophe." Liu Ming was startled, then he immediately said.

"Okay, it's good if you understand. Now that your body is full of spiritual power, you have already cultivated to the peak of the Real Pellet State intermediate stage. Your next step is to advance to the Real Pellet State later stage. In the Taiqing Sect, although there are many Real Pellet State disciples, it is rare that someone can progress as fast as you. However, your cultivation may not be stable for advancing too fast. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly." A smile finally appeared on Grand Elder Xuan Yu's face as he said a few more words seemingly casually.

Liu Ming was overjoyed when he heard this.

His master Yin Jiuling was only at the Real Pellet State perfect stage, which was naturally not at the same level as the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse.

Although Luo Hu had a lot of knowledge, he couldn't give Liu Ming any advice except that he was facing the big test of life and death.

Hence, he had to grasp this great opportunity. He immediately raised several questions about ordinary cultivation, and Grand Elder Xuan Yu answered them one by one.

After getting the answers, he suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He had a clearer thought on cultivation.

Listening to Grand Elder Xuan Yu's answers, Immortal Tian Ge at the side couldn't help feeling thoughtful.

"Right, I still have something to report to Grand Elder Xuan Yu and Sect Master Tian Ge…" Liu Ming suddenly remembered something while he was excited. He told the things about Mother Hellish-Insect that he soul searched from the Celestial State Hellish-Insect.

Immortal Tian Ge was shocked when he heard this. Grand Elder Xuan Yu's expression was very calm, and he said with confidence,

"I've already learned about this matter by soul searching other high rank Hellish-Insects. Regarding this Mother Hellish-Insect, the Mystic Comprehending State cultivators of the entire continent have begun to discuss countermeasures. You don't have to worry."

"Yes!"

Liu Ming was relieved when he heard the words, the Mystic Comprehending State of the Middle Sky Continent, at least had about 30. Once these powerful cultivators united, no matter how powerful Mother Hellish-Insect was, it should be nothing.

"Regarding the matter of Mother Hellish-Insect, you should not tell the others, so as not to cause panic among ordinary disciples. I think you should know how to measure it." Grand Elder Xuan Yu glanced at Liu Ming and warned again.

"Yes, disciple understands." Liu Ming hastily agreed.

In the following time, Liu Ming chatted a few more words with the 2 important figures of the Taiqing Sect, then he left sensibly.

As for the promotion to the esoteric disciple, Immortal Tian Ge stated that he would send someone to Fallen Serene Peak to do the handover.

As soon as Liu Ming left the side hall, Immortal Tian Ge's face immediately turned serious.

"Grand Elder Xuan Yu, regarding that Mother Hellish-Insect, do the elders really have a countermeasure?"

"How can it be so simple? I just said that to appease the disciple. According to our speculation, the real body of Mother Hellish-Insect has probably surpassed the Mystic Comprehending State, which is the legendary Eternal State. The Mystic Comprehending State Hellish-Insect that Mukong, Fengqing and I had spent a lot of effort to kill before was just an avatar of it. It can be seen from this that if its real body came, we will not be able to resist at all." Grand Elder Xuan Yu shook his head said with a wry smile.

"Eternal State!"

Immortal Tian Ge was naturally shocked by this!

"However, you don't have to worry too much. According to the comprehensive information we have so far, Mother Hellish-Insect seems to have not recovered from her previous injuries. In addition, her own spiritual power is too huge. Her real body can't descend to the Middle Sky Continent easily through the space tunnel. At most, she can only send some avatars. This way, we have more chances. About the Mother Hellish-Insect, Senior Fellow Apprentice Mu has already started contacting other sects to discuss it." Grand Elder Xuan Yu said.

"If all the big sects join forces, we may not be really afraid of these avatars of the Mother Hellish-Insect." Immortal Tian Ge frowned slightly after hearing this.

TL: Eternal State! Seems like they can't do anything to the real body except defending in their own continent…
