What I care more about is the power behind the Shadow Demons. The entering Holy Realm Shadow Demon in Ningluo Realm can be ignored, but with a Venerable Realm popping up now, it’s not a level that common Shadow Demons can have.

When it’s over, top experts from Donghua Immortal Palace might directly intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crux of the matter was, at the Venerable Realm’s level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already surpassed what a Domain Master like Li Lingyin could handle on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Domain Master, she was only at the peak of stepping into the Holy Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were to fight a Venerable Realm Shadow Demon, that would be akin to simply \"handing\" herself over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Lingyin can’t participate in this, how could he, Li Jing, get a share?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wouldn’t do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He need to think of a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he reveal to everybody that he can identify Alien Species?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This probably wouldn’t work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Immortal Domain is boundless; there are countless talents and extraordinary people. There are certainly some who possess the ability to recognize Alien Species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Donghua Immortal Palace is to get involved, finding someone with a similar ability wouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, Emperor Donghua could simply find Emperor Beiming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless if the matter was related to Emperor Beiming, when it comes to the Shadow Demon, if another Emperor comes to you, Emperor Beiming certainly can’t refuse to offer assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous non-human and non-living Alien Species in the Northern Immortal Domain cohabitate with the Shadow Demon Clan in the same Earth Realm. If they were asked to locate the Shadow Demons, it would be an absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deliberation, Li Jing could not figure out a good solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary reason was that he can’t really go solo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All signs indicate that the Shadow Demons active in the Eastern Immortal Domain are a \"large group.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There isn’t just one Shadow Demon, and the group might be mixed rather than purely Shadow Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the present, he could barely handle one Venerable Realm Shadow Demon, let alone the large group of Shadow Demons lurking in the dark?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in thought, a child-like voice sounded nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, what is the situation? Is there a problem with the master of Star God Temple?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the voice, Li Jing automatically looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What caught his eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a palm-sized, chubby little figure, dressed in a bellyband, with two braids at the back of her head, standing before him, looking at him with gem-like big eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glimpse of this little figure, Li Jing was startled, then furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Tong, what is...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exquisite little figure had features vaguely similar to Tong Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this alone was not enough to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou, after all, is a grown beauty. Who knows what she looked like when she was young?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within the Immortal Music Palace, the only one who would come to ask about the master of Star God Temple was Tong Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Li Jing’s question, the little figure answered with a child-like voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a divine secret method of external incarnation that I learned by chance. I’ve only learned the basic principles, enough to manifest my incarnation to this level. I don’t usually use it as it is somewhat embarrassing. Now that my real self is entertaining the master of Star God Temple and the three elders, it’s perfect for...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Li Jing curiously poked her chubby face and then her belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ran over here because she was concerned about the issue with the master of Star God Temple, but Li Jing just started playing with her here, which was a bit too much really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beginner-level external incarnation was incredibly adorable. Even when she first learned it, she loved to play with it. However, there is a difference between her playing with it herself and being played with by another person, especially a man, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping back half a pace, Tong Rou pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, behave yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously unpleased, Li Jing apologized with a sheepish smile and denied any further \"improper acts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Tong Rou in front of him now was indeed somewhat interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, she was trying to display a sulking expression, but only managed to pout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her little expression could utterly melt a person’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, a rugged man, suddenly understood the meaning of \"an old man’s maiden heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resisting the urge to grab Tong Rou and play with her, Li Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The issue with the master of Star God Temple is significant. But he wasn’t replaced by the Shadow Demon. The Shadow Demon was hiding in his shadow. The one that came with him to the Immortal Music Palace is in the Venerable Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his explanation, Tong Rou’s incarnation’s cute little face showed different expressions. Then she turned to look at the meditating Li Lingyin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her glance over, Li Jing explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve discussed the relevant issues with Lingyin. She’s now using her primordial spirit to go consult Emperor Donghua in the Donghua Immortal Palace, and I estimate she won’t be back for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he extended one hand onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou saw this, frowned, looked at him for a moment, and then reluctantly jumped into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing lifted her up and then asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s the situation in the Sky Music Pavilion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no problem at the moment. Fatty Wang has made a name for himself in vocal music, and it’s also one of his personal hobbies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou said, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, we’re merely discussing the path of vocal music; he hasn’t shown any ...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing interrupted, handing over a spirit fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a spirit creature the size of a palm, like Ling Ling, it would certainly be happily chewing on the spirit fruit by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not Tong Rou!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside other reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is merely her external incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t it be her main self that eats the fruit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, that’s not the point here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Li Jing tried to \"tempt\" her using a cheap spirit fruit shows what kind of mindset he has.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying a word, Tong Rou reluctantly played along with him, took the spirit fruit, and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for being a woman...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong Rou is damn good at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xie’s dedication to her is not just out of lust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason is that Tong Rou is not only exceptionally beautiful but also understands how to be a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appears distant yet within reach, giving people the sense that they might have a chance with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing is commonly seen in ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the master of the Immortal Music Palace, it is necessary for Tong Rou to possess such \"professional abilities\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving everything aside, Li Jing noticed that Tong Rou was chewing on his spirit fruit and, assuming that she had been \"bought over\", he casually poked her chubby cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this, Tong Rou had a numb expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a big issue in front of them, Li Jing was actually in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, he seemed to be in high spirits about her external incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When facing her true self, who was as beautiful as flowers and as gentle as jade, why didn’t she see him being so excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Li Jing had his fun, he didn’t overdo it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Essentially, he just thought that Tong Rou’s external incarnation, which appears polite and gentle in front of others, was quite entertaining and didn’t invest much thought in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having taken advantage of Tong Rou, Li Jing told her about the Shadow Demon’s communication with him from the Star God Temple’s master’s shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Tong Rou was in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What it indicates ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Li Jing and Li Lingyin could think of, she could also think of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Jing hadn’t been mistaken as the Shadow Demon, which led the Temple to believe that the Immortal Music Palace had been infiltrated, she and the elders accompanying the Star God Temple’s master might have been in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the presence of a Venerable Realm Shadow Demon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would unquestionably be the perfect time to strike in the Sky Music Pavilion, where seal restrictions exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished with her spirit fruit, Tong Rou wiped her mouth and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The external incarnation brings away a part of the main body’s power, I need to return there first. Just in case, I should quickly find an excuse to leave the Sky Music Pavilion with the elders. It is too risky for us to face a Venerable Realm Shadow Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining, she turned around and hopped away, leaving behind an adorably cute figure before instantly disappearing out of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was momentarily stunned upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much else that puzzled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tong Rou’s external incarnation was somewhat eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived before, Li Jing was thinking and didn’t take notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now when she left, there was not a trace to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing couldn’t understand how she left or determine from which direction she went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only the fur can reach such a level, how handy would it be to understand its core essence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s a chance, perhaps I can ask Tong Rou to teach me the technique for an external incarnation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be a skill gained from a boundary breakthrough, or perhaps even a second breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the last time when Li Lingyin used her Primordial Spirit Leaving the Body to go to Donghua Immortal Palace to \"report\" on Chen Tang city’s situation and quickly returned, this time Li Jing had to wait for more than an hour before she slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barely holding in his patience for her return, Li Jing said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did Emperor Donghua say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon being questioned, Li Lingyin replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The emperor attaches great importance to this matter and said he would come to Cangming Realm himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is indeed quite severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"large group\" behind the Shadow Demon can potentially threaten the whole Eastern Immortal Domain, hence the Donghua Immortal Palace does need to take it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t seem necessary to alarm the Emperor himself, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not like there are no other powerful beings in Donghua Immortal Palace. Is it necessary for the Emperor himself to personally come to Cangming Realm over such a trivial matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the bewildered look on Li Jing’s face, Li Lingyin hesitated before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor said... he wanted to meet you in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To meet him... he doesn’t object to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s still not sure if Chen Tang City is being treated differently due to the orders from the Emperor himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could have a face-to-face meeting, he could ask about it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this is too sudden...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Emperor Donghua came, reaching the Thirteenth Realm Shadow Demon in the Immortal Music Palace would be a piece of cake.

Not to mention he’s no match for the demon, the Emperor might want to capture it alive for thorough questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Li Jing asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When will he arrive approximately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin responded and added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor is visiting in user mode and will likely conceal his identity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded at her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Emperor Donghua wouldn’t arrive outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention it could alert the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s arrival would inevitably cause a stir in the whole Cangming Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without giving it too much thought, Li Jing said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tong Rou just came by.
