Five Heavenly Immortals from the Tongtian Sect were given away for free.
They likely died with their eyes wide open, unable to comprehend that such a terrifying existence resided in the lower realm.
The Innate Eight Trigrams Formation concealed everything. The deaths of these five Heavenly Immortals did not trigger any celestial anomalies, remaining unknown to the outside world.
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm felt no ripple of emotion within. In her eyes, they were merely insignificant pawns.
She looked at the three demon immortal corpses on the ground, whose true forms had already been revealed, and commanded, "Clean them up properly. Master will be back soon."
"Got it!"
Tian Peng busily cleaned up the battlefield.
The celestial talismans and the trident that had fallen to the ground became his spoils of war.
This was a windfall, acquiring two immortal artifacts for free, and he was inwardly delighted.
Once Master returned, he would no longer be an abandoned orphan left behind. This truly made him excited.
As Tian Peng dragged the three demon immortal corpses away to clean them, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. That stone egg hadn't hatched yet. Would Master stew him too when he returned?
He immediately felt uneasy.
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm stared with its small, black gemstone-like eyes, a thoughtful expression on its face.
It murmured to itself, "Heavenly Immortals descending, causing widespread suffering. The Xuanling Realm is truly too chaotic. We must share some of Master's worries and thoroughly eradicate these cancerous growths to restore peace to the human world. Also, we must let those arrogant beings in the heavens know that the Xuanling Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Ghost Realm all belong to Ji. No one is allowed to covet them."
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm emitted a hazy halo, chaotic energy surging upwards, nine-colored radiance flashing incessantly, countless runes dancing, and terrifying Dao rhythm surging without end.
Immediately.
Crystal-clear threads emerged from the silkworm's body, spreading across the firmament like spider silk, extending into the boundless void.
They even entered the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm through the Demon Realm Gate and the Ghost Realm Gate.
This was the divine ability the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm had comprehended after its second transformation, setting up a net to catch all.
The Nine Tribulations Longevity Willow seemed to understand the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm's intentions. It swayed gently, its three thousand silk ribbons fluttering, countless laws colliding and interweaving, its unique aura as an Innate Spiritual Root spreading to every corner of the Xuanling Realm.
"Is the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm fishing, using the Nine Tribulations Longevity Willow as bait to capture all the descending Heavenly Immortals in one go!"
The Heaven Devouring Python, guessing the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm's true intentions, turned ashen-faced.
This move was simply too audacious.
There should be hundreds of Heavenly Immortals who had descended at this stage, many of whom came from renowned immortal sects that shook the heavens. If all these Heavenly Immortals were eliminated, how many immortal realm forces would be offended?
Although the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm was a defiant creature, it was currently just a silkworm baby that had only undergone two transformations. Did it truly dare to oppose all the heavenly forces, and where did it get such confidence?
Could it be that its master, the one named Ji Mo, had an immeasurable background?
The Heaven Devouring Python swallowed hard, not daring to imagine. Afterward, it was filled with regret. If it had known earlier, it should have yielded to that lecherous old Tian Peng and seized the opportunity to cling to Ji Mo's powerful leg. Its future would undoubtedly have been glorious.
Alas, it was too late.
"First, we'll flatten the Tongtian Pavilion, then slowly deal with those greedy Heavenly Immortals."
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm let out a cold snort, killing intent flashing in its pupils.
From this statement, it also indirectly confirmed the Heaven Devouring Python's guess. The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm indeed planned to hunt all the descending Heavenly Immortals.
A few breaths later.
Deep within the Tongtian Mountain Range, flames soared into the sky.
Volcanoes erupted inexplicably in that area, destroying a large portion of the mountain range.
No one knew that the Tongtian Pavilion, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years and had always been mysterious, was completely destroyed and forever buried in the lava.
Thus, those forces that had betrayed and sold out the Xuanling Realm were finally purged.
"An Innate Spiritual Root has appeared in the Southern Domain!"
All the descending Heavenly Immortals sensed the aura of the Nine Tribulations Longevity Willow almost immediately, their eyes revealing greed.
Even gods could not resist the temptation of Innate Spiritual Roots, let alone them.
"According to the news, that fellow named Ji is also in the Southern Domain. It's a perfect opportunity to kill Ji Mo and seize the Innate Spiritual Root."
Therefore, almost all the Heavenly Immortals took action, heading towards the Southern Domain with murderous intent.
A very small number of Heavenly Immortals chose to stay out of it. They had descended not to plunder, but to wander the mortal world and temper their Dao hearts. Their minds were relatively pure and not clouded by greed.
The entire Xuanling Realm was watching. The rumored Mr. Ji would soon face hundreds of Heavenly Immortals. Could this legendary figure continue his glory and write an invincible legend?
"I support Mr. Ji this time!"
"Unwavering support for Mr. Ji. Kill these bastards."
"Mr. Ji, forever the god..."
The beings who had suffered under the Heavenly Immortals placed all their hopes on Ji Mo.
They unhesitatingly stood on Ji Mo's side.
However, Mr. Ji was alone and weak. Could he withstand so many Heavenly Immortals?
Ji Hanhan, the hope of the entire village, was unaware of these matters.
With the dejection of losing the world's richest man, he finally returned to Baishou Town, back to his humble abode and courtyard.
This time, he had been away from home for several years. Fortunately, everything at home was well, and it seemed not much had changed.
"This is a humble abode, yet my virtue is fragrant! Sir, is this your home?"
Lin Mengmeng stared with her clear black and white eyes. She found the couplet at the door to be extraordinary, containing profound Dao rhythm. She seemed to have comprehended an unfathomably profound fist intent from it.
"The abode is humble, but I dare not speak of virtue."
Ji Mo's old face flushed slightly. He took Lin Mengmeng's small hand and pushed the door open, fearing that his student would laugh at his narcissism.
Lin Mengmeng, Xuan Yang, Wang Wujian, and Ao Ligai were instantly stunned by everything before them, looking around and exclaiming repeatedly.
The Ghost Fire felt an inexplicable sense of pressure and remained still, not daring to act presumptuously.
Huì Néng, Fan Jǐngxíng, Xuán'áo, Tiānpéng, and the Ginseng King behaved normally, feeling a sense of returning home. After all, they had long considered this place their home.
Finally being able to live with Mr. Ji again, their future days were bound to soar.
Little Tuan Tuan acted like a mischievous child, rolling in the vegetable garden, munching on radishes and cabbage with large bites, humming and giggling excitedly.
Then it discovered the large iron cauldron in the garden and pounced on it for a bite.
However, it couldn't bite it at all, and the pain made it bare its teeth.
"What a treasure! This will be Tuan Tuan's nest from now on!"
The Iron-Eating Beast immediately claimed the iron cauldron as its own. A divine artifact embryo serving as a nest was very fitting for its noble status.
Moreover, it could feel that this iron cauldron had been absorbing external energy and undergoing a transformation. It was a growth artifact, and once formed, its power would undoubtedly be astonishingly strong.
"The vegetable patch belongs to Tuan Tuan, the dragon fish belongs to Tuan Tuan, the Bodhi tree belongs to Tuan Tuan, and the Nine Tribulations Longevity Willow also belongs to Tuan Tuan..."
The Iron-Eating Beast wandered around the courtyard, its eyes shining. It felt that its unwavering loyalty to Ji the Cook was incredibly wise.
Then, it got beaten.
Its head swelled into a large lump.
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm's figure appeared above the lump, mockingly saying, "Look at this lump, it's big and round. It also belongs to Tuan Tuan. Do you want me to give you a few more!"
The Iron-Eating Beast, ambushed, had tears welling up from the pain. Just as it was about to erupt, it instantly forced a smile, its face full of flattery, and acted spoiled, "Sister Tian Can, Little Tuan Tuan was wrong. From now on, Little Tuan Tuan belongs to you."
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm nodded in satisfaction. Only then did it inject chaotic energy to smooth out the lump for Little Tuan Tuan, its elder sister demeanor perfectly captured.
"Oh, my little worm treasure has changed again."
Ji Mo, who was passing by, noticed the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm. He curiously picked it up into his palm to observe, marveling.
He remembered that it had initially been a small green worm, then turned transparent, and now it was a pale pink, quite magical.
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm was extremely excited. It was the first time its master had looked at it so closely. It was so thrilled, its heart rippling with joy.
However, in the next second, she was ruthlessly flicked away by Ji Mo.
"Wow, Wu Ji, you've done a great job! Not only can you lay eggs and guard the house, but now you can hunt and catch such a large three-headed wild game."
Ji Mo discovered the three demon immortal corpses, his mouth watering. He immediately abandoned the Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm and happily walked over.
A foodie, a foodie's soul. In Ji Hanhan's eyes, there was only wild game.
"Master abuses me a thousand times, yet my original intention remains unchanged..."
The Nine Transformations Heavenly Silkworm, feeling neglected, was full of grievances. It resolved that in its next transformation, it must not remain in the form of a silkworm. It would strive to transform into human form.
