Chapter 27: Ji Meng
After Hengming found the answer, he felt a little helpless: "It turned out to be just a beast lord who escaped the pursuit because of luck. The beast calamity has long passed. Killing him will not bring any merit or luck. It's a waste of effort!"

But looking at Qiongqi who fell into a deep sleep, Hengming still felt a hint of joy in his heart.

Regardless of whether the calamity of ferocious beasts has passed or not, the fate of Qiongqi as the lord of ferocious beasts cannot be changed. Now that the other three lords of ferocious beasts and the king of ferocious beasts, Shen Ni, have died, this Qiongqi can be said to be a natural-born leader of the ferocious beasts.

Hengming vaguely felt that even if he obtained a top-grade innate spiritual treasure this time, its value would still not be as great as this Qiongqi.

The ferocious beasts were once the protagonists of the ancient times. Even though they are now close to extinction, the evil spirit is inextinguishable, and the ferocious beasts will appear again sooner or later. This Qiongqi is really something to talk about.

A thumb-sized fragment flew out from Hengming's body. It was the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation that he regarded as more important than his life.

The three thousand great ways within this fragment are very incomplete, but there are three great ways that are complete, in addition to fate, there are reincarnation and the earth.

"I will use the power of reincarnation to cleanse Qiongqi's soul, and finally use the power of the earth to shape his body. This way, he can be completely controlled by me. Why does it feel a bit like Lingzhuzi Nezha? Forget it, let Nezha be Nezha, but I have to wait until I become a Daluo Jinxian before I can use fate to simulate reincarnation and the magical effects of the earth. This is still assisted by the fragments of the Jade Disc of Good Fortune that contain these two complete laws of the avenue. Otherwise, I dare not guarantee success."

Hengming made up his mind and didn't want to use Qiongqi as a tool to open up space. He just opened up a lake in a corner of the Fate Island and pressed Qiongqi under the lake.

Although the ferocious beast was transformed from the evil spirit of the demon's corpse, it also originated from the earth. Therefore, in addition to the evil spirit, the power of the earth can also allow the ferocious beast to slowly recover.

However, Fate Island drifts with Heng Ming all day long. The land veins on the island are scarce and it is a truly barren land. Therefore, the recovery of Qiongqi requires downgrading several levels. Perhaps after a few thousand Yuanhui of recovery, Qiongqi will be able to open his eyes.

Hengming captured a ferocious beast lord and was delighted. He continued to move towards Mount Buzhou.

It is not known whether Hengming's luck finally showed its power or his act of capturing Qiongqi was praised by the Heaven, but in any case, his gains along the way were very rich. Although he did not obtain any innate spiritual treasures, he did obtain two innate spiritual roots.

A low-grade innate spiritual root, the Binghuo fruit tree, and a medium-grade innate spiritual root, the Qingxin purple bamboo.

The fruits of the Binghuo Fruit Tree are like red apples and look like apple trees. Eating them is helpful for comprehending the laws of the great way of fire. The effect is only useful for those with the cultivation level of Xuanxian and below. With Hengming's current cultivation level, eating Binghuo Fruit is helpful for quenching thirst.

As for the Qingxin Purple Bamboo, it is not edible. As the name suggests, Qingxin Purple Bamboo can relax the mind and keep it clear. Once planted, it can automatically turn into a purple bamboo forest. Hengming likes this effect very much. After all, looking at such a large purple bamboo forest makes people happy.

He even picked some bamboo leaves himself and weaved them into a cushion. Although it had no offensive or defensive function, it at least looked pretty. It allowed him to enter a venue where others would not have to sit on the ground, and it also showed off his status.

"It seems that my luck has really turned. I have obtained two innate spiritual roots at once. It seems that my luck is not bad."

Hengming was very satisfied with the result. With these two innate spiritual roots in place, the foundation of Fate Island would be further enhanced.

If they were just ordinary fairy trees and divine flowers, then planting them would naturally consume the foundation of Fate Island, that is, the earth veins. However, innate spiritual roots are different. The innate spiritual roots themselves are a blessed land and an alternative innate spiritual treasure.

Without seeing Zhunti Jieyin refine his own body, the Bodhi tree became the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and the bitter bamboo became the Six Pure Bamboos, each of which was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. They did not have the Qiankun Ding on them, and could not transform the acquired into the innate, relying on the power of the innate spiritual root itself. Therefore, planting these two innate spiritual roots will increase the foundation of the Destiny Island instead of decreasing it. Unless it is planted on the divine soil of higher quality than these two innate spiritual roots, some divine soil will be consumed, such as the earth's fertile soil, the essence of Wu soil, and the essence of Yi soil.

Just when Hengming was in a good mood and wanted to move forward, several divine lights suddenly flashed across the sky.

One of the snow-white divine lights was leading the way, followed closely by several pitch-black divine lights, and from time to time one or two shouts or curses were heard.

"Qing Tu! How can a mere nine-tailed fox like you be qualified to control the innate spiritual treasure! Hand over the Nine-Link Jade Ring immediately!"

"That's right! The Demon God Ji Meng has already issued a decree that anyone who can offer enough sacrifices can be taken to the Sun God Palace for training. I advise you not to ask for trouble!"

"Now even your fox clan's ancestor, the first nine-tailed fox in the world, Qingqiu ancestor, has long been subservient to the Ji Meng demon god. You coveted the spiritual treasure without permission. Even Qingqiu ancestor will be punished by Ji Meng demon god because of you! How can you bear to let the fox clan suffer with you!"

"We are all part of the demon tribe. As long as you can give up evil and do good, we won't make things difficult for you!"

Voices of threats and inducements came from the black and white divine lights, but without exception, they all wanted to capture the snow-white divine light beam.

A pleasant voice came from the snow-white divine light in front. It was crisp and pleasant, but it could not hide the anger in it.

"You wolf monsters take advantage of the weakness of my fox clan and come to Qingqiu Mountain to rob my sisters from time to time. Now you want me to hand over the magic treasure. This is absolutely impossible! You are monsters, but I am not! I am a fox! The ancestor is willing to surrender, but I never said I surrendered. At worst, I will throw this magic treasure into the mountains, rivers and seas. The magic treasure will disappear on its own. Can you still deduce the secrets of heaven?!"

There were bursts of wolf howls coming from the black and white divine lights, followed by voices that were obviously a little angry, but there was nothing they could do.

What Qing Tu said was correct. The spiritual treasure is naturally obscure. Unless it is calculated by the legendary Taiyi Golden Immortals, they will not be able to recognize that it is an extremely precious innate spiritual treasure in the world even if it is thrown in front of them.

But even if they can't snatch this magical treasure, they will grind Qing Tu to dust!

"A manhunt? I didn't expect that I would encounter this." Heng Ming watched this scene with great interest. With his level of cultivation, he naturally couldn't tell that these people were just immortals, the next level of Xuanxian.

However, what these wolf demons and foxes said did surprise him a little.

"The Sun Palace, Ji Meng the Demon God, is the prototype of the Heavenly Palace about to appear?"

Hengming's gaze gradually became distant. Being in the ancient world, he had never been careless for a single day. Even though he came from the so-called afterlife, he had never underestimated any great god.
