Chapter 1554 Internal and External Troubles
It is said that the former Queen Mother of the West had saved Fu Xigui's life and helped him achieve enlightenment.
Before the Queen Mother of the West died, she asked Fu Xigui to find the reincarnation of the next Queen Mother of the West. Fu Xigui then traveled around the world and looked for a needle in a haystack.
Finally, God helped those who worked hard, and Fu Xigui found Yao Qiong.
Yao Qiong also lived up to expectations and successfully passed Dai Sheng's test.
In theory, Yao Qiong would be the next Queen Mother of the West.
But at this juncture, an accident occurred...
According to the inheritance of the previous Queen Mother of the West, once the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West is found and passes Dai Sheng's test, Dai Sheng will help this person improve his cultivation.
No matter what the previous cultivation was, it would become a demon baby overnight!
What's more, even if it was a human body before, once it passed Dai Sheng's test, the Queen Mother of the West would become a demon baby, not a Yuanying.
In other words, to become the Queen Mother of the West, you must first give up your human identity!
After the demon baby is accomplished, the Queen Mother of the West can completely control the Dai Sheng, and then through the Dai Sheng, completely control the entire Western Wilderness Demon Realm!
At that time, the Queen Mother of the West will be the real - the Lord of the Western Wilderness!
But when it comes to Yao Qiong, her cultivation cannot be improved!
Unable to accomplish the demon baby, it is impossible to control the Dai Sheng, and it is impossible to succeed to the throne smoothly!
In name, Yao Qiong is the Queen Mother of the West; in fact, she is not yet!
This is what Lin Donglai called: the worst Queen Mother of the West in history!
After listening to Fu Xigui's words, Xiao Mian looked at Yao Qiong with a smile.
This girl is really miserable!
But isn't it even more miserable?
If the Queen Mother of the West cannot succeed to the throne smoothly, who can I find to discuss major issues?
No!
The Queen Mother of the West must succeed to the throne!
The Western Wilderness Demon Realm must be taken!
At that moment, Xiao Mian had made a decision.
"Brother Fu! In order for Yaoqiong to succeed smoothly, besides the cultivation level that must reach the demon infant realm, are there any other obstacles?"
"This... there are so many things to do, Brother Xiao, let's talk while we walk?"
Fu Xigui's implication was to invite Xiao Mian and his party to Kunlun Mountain.
Xiao Mian had this plan in mind. Now that Yaoqiong, the heir of the Queen Mother of the West, is on the Huofu, Xiao Mian naturally has to go to Kunlun Mountain.
It's just that Fu Xigui's hesitation made Xiao Mian realize that things were unusual.
I'm afraid that the problems facing the Western Wilderness Demon Realm are not just Yaoqiong.
Fu Xigui didn't want to say it clearly, so Xiao Mian didn't ask any more questions.
There is always a chance in the future.
At this moment, the group headed straight for Kunlun Mountain.
It is said that from this day on, no more demon cultivators from the Western Wilderness came to the door.
Xiao Mian was too lazy to pay attention to it, and just closed himself off.
He wanted to see who could hold back longer!
On the third day, Fu Xigui couldn't hold it back any longer...
He came uninvited and visited.
"Brother Fu! What's wrong? Are you used to being on my Huofu?"
"This... Not bad! Not bad!" After hesitating for a moment, Fu Xigui turned and said, "What did Brother Xiao say last time? You came to the Western Wilderness Demon Realm on the orders of Long Mu of the East Sea?"
"Yes!"
"What's the matter?"
"Senior Long Mu, ask me to pass a message to the Queen Mother of the West!"
Having said this, Xiao Mian kept silent.
The implication is that this message is to be passed to the Queen Mother of the West!
How could Fu Xigui not hear the hidden meaning? He pondered for a moment and sighed.
"Brother Xiao! To be honest, the Western Wilderness Demon Realm is in trouble both internally and externally!"
"Oh? Is this true?"
"Alas! I am ashamed of the Queen Mother..."
After a long silence, Fu Xigui finally opened the conversation.
Before the previous Queen Mother of the West fell, the Western Wilderness Demon Realm was united.
However, when the Queen Mother of the West fell, before Fu Xigui found Yao Qiong, the absolute imperial power suddenly became absolutely empty, causing people to change their minds.
Yao Qiong's situation was special, and people's hearts were even more unstable.
Fortunately, there were many old ministers and old subordinates left by the former Queen Mother of the West in the Western Wilderness Demon Realm. They naturally respected the Queen Mother of the West and supported the orthodox faction.
But things are always difficult!
Not long ago, the Western Wilderness Demon Realm welcomed a new demon lord!
This demon lord was a demon king under the former Queen Mother of the West.
This time, he successfully broke through to the demon lord realm, and his strength and ambition increased sharply.
As a result, some swaying bystanders also wavered to the demon lord and begged for mercy, but they were getting further and further away from Yao Qiong...
If Yao Qiong could not succeed to the throne smoothly for a long time, the Western Wilderness Demon Realm would be in chaos.
Such chaos was not allowed by Fu Xigui, nor by Xiao Mian.
There was no room for error in the counterattack on the spirit world!
"Brother Fu! I understand your difficulties! What do you want from me?"
"Brother Xiao, are you willing to help me?"
"To be honest! Before the journey to the west, I didn't understand why Senior Longmu asked me to come all the way to the Western Wasteland. It seems that Senior Longmu has already calculated that there will be such a disaster in the Western Wasteland Demon Realm, so he wants me to help Brother Fu to ensure that the Queen Mother of the West ascends to the throne, right?"
"Senior Longmu, you are very thoughtful!"
Xiao Mian's seriousness made Fu Xigui unable to distinguish between the true and the false.
"According to what you said: the demon lord has already achieved success, how can you and I shake it? The most urgent thing is to let Yaoqiong condense the infant as soon as possible!"
"How could I not know! But Yaoqiong this child..."
Frowning, Fu Xigui pondered in silence.
Yaoqiong, whose own cultivation is only the initial stage of the golden elixir, is it easy to advance to the level of the seventh-level demon cultivator in a short period of time?
"In my opinion: the problem still needs to come out to Dai Sheng!"
"You mean..."
"Can I take a look at the hoopoe?"
"This..., OK!"
Nodding, Fu Xigui called Yaoqiong, took out the hoopoe, and handed it to Xiao Mian.
When Xiao Mian took the hoopoe, he felt a slight electric current rushing into his body.
With a slight shock, the numbness disappeared.
But Xiao Mian turned the hoopoe over and over again, but he couldn't see any clues.
"How does this thing assess Yaoqiong's identity?"
"Bloodline!"
"Bloodline?" Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard it, and saw Yaoqiong take back the hoopoe, cut her finger, and drip a drop of blood on the hoopoe, and the blood was completely swallowed up instantly. Fu Xigui explained at the right time: "If it is not matching blood, the hoopoe will not swallow it!"
"From this point of view, the blood should be correct, but it may not be enough!"
"You mean-the purity or strength of the bloodline is not enough?"
"It should be!"
Xiao Mian's suspicion is not unreasonable.
The inheritance of the demon race relies on the power of bloodline.
However, the blood power of some demon cultivators is not strong enough, which leads to their inability to comprehend the blood inheritance, and they live a mediocre life.
Interestingly, among the descendants of these ordinary demon cultivators, if there is a strong enough blood power, by chance, they can reactivate the blood inheritance and restore the glory of their ancestors.
This phenomenon is called atavism.
Yao Qiong's current situation is quite similar.
Dai Sheng recognized Yao Qiong's identity, which shows that Yao Qiong's blood is correct.
But Yao Qiong could not get Dai Sheng's inheritance, which shows that the blood power is not enough.
This is not a question of whether it is or not, but a question of whether it is enough...
Although Fu Xigui understood the crux of the problem, he had no clue.
There is the hidden worry that Yao Qiong cannot inherit the strength of the Queen Mother of the West, and there is the external threat of the demon lord appearing out of nowhere and coveting the position of the supreme.
The Western Wilderness Demon Realm, internal and external troubles!
"This matter cannot be rushed, let's go back to Kunlun Mountain first and make a long-term plan!"
"..., this is the only way!" Nodding slightly, Fu Xigui paid homage to Xiao Mian in front of Yao Qiong: "Brother Xiao! I know you are always resourceful. If you can help the Queen Mother ascend the throne this time, it will be a great favor, and Fu will never forget it!"
"Brother Fu! Why do we have to be so sincere?" Helping Fu Xigui up, Xiao Mian said seriously: "The spiritual war is a catastrophe, and the world is in chaos. At this moment of life and death, the Western Wilderness Demon Realm cannot be in chaos, and the Queen Mother of the West must ascend to the throne. Xiao Mian, I have no choice but to do it!"
In a few words, the two sides formed an alliance.
There is only one clause in the alliance: to help Yao Qiong ascend to the throne with all their strength!
At the same time, after a long journey, Huo Fuhao finally retired.
From a distance, a huge pillar stood upright in the sky ahead.
That is Kunlun Mountain!
On the top of Kunlun Mountain, another pillar soared into the sky, this is Jianmu!
According to ancient rumors, Jianmu is a sacred tree that connects the heaven and earth.
There is a tree with green leaves and purple stems, and its fruit is black and yellow. It is called Jianmu. It is 100 feet high and has no branches. It has nine thorns on the top and nine thorns on the bottom. Its fruit is like hemp and its leaves are like awns...
In the forbidden war ten thousand years ago, Jianmu was also unfortunately killed.
What remains on the top of Kunlun Mountain now is just a stump of Jianmu!
Even so, the entire Kunlun Mountain still bows down at the feet of Jianmu...
Even the Queen Mother Hall of the Queen Mother of the West of all generations was built at the root of Jianmu.
According to the tradition of the Western Wilderness Monster Realm, foreign monks who enter the Western Wilderness Monster Realm to meet the Queen Mother of the West must give up all means of transportation when they see Kunlun Mountain.
Relying on their feet, they can show their respect for the Queen Mother of the West by walking all the way.
Although the current Queen Mother of the West is known as the worst in history, she is still on the Huofu.
Even so, Xiao Mian invited everyone on the Fire Blessing to get off the treasure ship, put away the Fire Blessing, and walked with everyone on foot.
This kind of respect is respect for the Queen Mother of the West of all generations.
Yao Qiong will not be the Queen Mother of the West until she is recognized by Dai Sheng.
If the name is not right, the words will not flow. No wonder the undercurrents in the Western Wilderness Demon Realm are turbulent...
Although they walked on foot, the group walked fast.
At sunset, stepping on the afterglow, everyone climbed Kunlun Mountain.
Under the setting sunset, the Queen Mother's Hall was magnificent and shining.
At this time, many demon cultivators had gathered in front of the Queen Mother's Hall.
These demon cultivators all looked like humans, and they were obviously transformed demons.
A rough count showed that there were nearly a hundred!
This background is the highest combat power of the Western Wilderness Demon Realm!
The overall strength of the Western Wilderness Demon Realm is weaker than that of the East China Sea but stronger than that of Nanyan.
This can be seen from the top combat power:
Nanyan Demon Realm, there are ten demon kings;
Donghai Cultivation Realm, there are eighteen demon kings;
Xihuang Demon Realm, there are fifteen demon kings, among these fifteen demon kings, seven are ninth-level great demon kings, and eight are eighth-level small demon kings.
There has always been a saying in Xihuang Demon Realm, called seven up and eight down, which means this.
However, with the sudden appearance of that demon lord, this status quo was broken.
Not only that, Xihuang Demon Realm is the concentration of imperial power of the Queen Mother of the West.
Unlike the East China Sea Cultivation Realm, although the eighteen demon kings nominally worship the East China Sea Dragon Palace as the master, in fact, the heroes are divided and fight each other.
Xihuang Demon Realm is the world of the Queen Mother of the West.
This power gathered together is enough to be terrifying.
Now, this power has gathered in front of the Queen Mother's Palace.
The situation on the scene is quite tense.
Is this forcing the palace? ?
Looking at the high-level demon cultivators in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, Xiao Mian narrowed his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the situation in the Western Wilderness Demon Realm has become so corrupt.
Although Yao Qiong has not yet ascended the throne, she is the candidate for the Queen Mother of the West appointed by Dai Sheng. These people seem to be waiting for the Queen Mother of the West, but in fact, they may have ulterior motives!
As expected!
When Xiao Mian and his group arrived in front of the Queen Mother's Palace, someone suddenly attacked.
"Fu Xigui! You are a human cultivator, but you are taken in by the former Queen Mother and allowed to travel in the Western Wilderness Demon Realm. This is already a favor beyond the law. Now you have called your friends here again. Do you think the Queen Mother Hall is your private residence?"
"King Lanling! Don't slander me! The former Queen Mother treated me like a disciple and a son, and I treat the former Queen Mother like a teacher and a mother. The Queen Mother Hall is a place for the Western Queen Mother's lineage to practice in seclusion. How dare Xigui act rashly? Even the demon kings present would not dare to do so, right?" After a resounding speech, Fu Xigui turned and pointed at Xiao Mian, saying solemnly: "This is the special envoy of Long Mu from the East Sea. He comes to see the Western Queen Mother in accordance with Long Mu's decree!"
"Special envoy of Long Mu?"
In an instant, the attention of the demons in front of the Queen Mother Hall focused on Xiao Mian.
Long Mu has always been the leader of the Four Seas Demon Alliance.
In name, even the Western Queen Mother must be controlled by her.
The demon cultivators looked at Xiao Mian, and the demon cultivators also looked at the people behind him.
At the same time, Xiao Mian was also looking at the other party unscrupulously.
The top demon cultivators present were the fourteen demon kings.
Among them, there were six ninth-level great demon kings and eight eighth-level small demon kings.
The rest were all seventh-level transformed great demons...
Only the legendary new demon lord had not shown up.
Think about it!
A demon lord is extraordinary.
A demon lord is like a human heavenly lord, the pinnacle of the road of cultivation.
In terms of cultivation realm alone, even Long Mu of the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Ten Thousand Demon Kings of the Nanyan Demon Realm are only at the demon lord realm.
Even if Yao Qiong successfully ascends the throne and becomes the new Queen Mother of the West in the future, her cultivation is only at a realm similar to that of a demon lord.
The new demon lord avoided meeting, and it was obvious that he had other intentions.
The person who asked Fu Xigui was called Lan Ling Wang.
Lan Ling Wang, like the Purple Extreme Demon King, was an eighth-level little demon king.
Obviously, this was a bird that was pushed out by some behind-the-scenes mastermind...
Xiao Mian wanted to see: what tricks these birdmen were playing!
"Do you have any evidence, East China Sea Special Envoy?"
When everyone fell into silence, a demon king spoke calmly.
The person who spoke was about thirty years old, wearing a green palace dress, and seemed ordinary. The terrifying thing was that the cultivation level of this female demon cultivator was actually a ninth-level demon king!
Ninth-level demon king - Qingluan King!
Even Xiao Mian did not dare to act rashly for a while.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian smiled calmly.
Spreading his right hand, a dark weight appeared.
The setting sun shone on this weight, as if it was integrated into it.
One of the three treasures of the universe - Dinghai Weight!
How could Xiao Mian come to this Western Wilderness Demon Realm without preparation?
When the Dinghai Tuo appeared, although no one among the demon cultivators present knew this thing, under the pressure of the Dinghai Tuo, even the ninth-level demon kings were suppressed.
Fortunately, the Dinghai Tuo disappeared in a flash.
Xiao Mian just wanted to give the other party a warning, and stop when he saw the advantage, too much is as bad as too little.
As a result, the demons in front of the Queen Mother's Palace were startled.
The pressure from the depths of the soul just now was extraordinary.
Even if the former Queen Mother of the West was alive, she would not be so fierce and domineering.
The East China Sea Envoy, Long Mu's Secret Order, is indeed extraordinary!
So far, no one dared to doubt Xiao Mian's identity...
"The East China Sea Envoy is naturally qualified to enter the Queen Mother's Palace!" Qingluan King said, slowly moving his lotus steps to one side and making way.
With Qingluan King leading the way, other demon kings made way.
The remaining seventh-level transformed demon cultivators were naturally afraid to avoid her.
When the demons invited Xiao Mian to enter the Queen Mother's Palace, Xiao Mian did not move.
It was not that Xiao Mian was putting on airs, but that Xiao Mian wanted to let these Western Wilderness demon cultivators know: who is the future master of the Western Wilderness Demon Realm!
Turning to Yao Qiong, Xiao Mian bowed.
"How dare Xiao cross the line in front of the new Western Queen Mother? Before leaving, Long Mu specifically told Xiao: The Western Queen Mother is the master of the Western Wilderness Demon Realm! Don't be rash!"
Xiao Mian's words made those Western Wilderness demon cultivators who didn't take Yao Qiong seriously at all change color, and then their expressions were different.
After Xiao Mian's reminder, Fu Xigui also woke up.
This is a great opportunity for Yao Qiong to take advantage of the situation!
Accompanied by Xiao Mian, Yao Qiong, step by step, walked towards the Queen Mother's Palace!
Fu Xigui and Lin Donglai followed closely behind.
Xuancao and others were in the third row.
After that, there were all the big and small demon kings.
As for the ordinary seventh-level demon cultivators, they were left outside the Queen Mother Palace, and they didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Queen Mother Palace!
