CHAPTER 610: CHAPTER 612 MOTHER-IN-LAW, YOUR SON-IN-LAW IS HERE TO PAY HIS RESPECTS!

The top of Li Mountain!

This place had been shrouded in clouds and mist for years, making it impossible to see what lay beyond from the outside.

Today, however, the clouds and mist churned, and a crystalline branch extended from within the fog.

The crystalline branch was surrounded by a misty aura, generating endless ripples.

After a long while, a woman’s voice echoed from within the Heavenly Dome.

"I understand, proceed according to the original plan."

The branch slowly retracted, and the cloud and mist once again enveloped the top of Li Mountain.

And when the branch retracted into the fog, a sound emerged from within.

Through the mist, one could see a Heavenly Pond.

The air within seethed, and at the center of the pond grew a crystalline tree!

It resembled a peach tree, yet its crystal clarity made it seem unlike any peach tree.

The branch that had just extended from the fog was from this tree.

"Chirp!"

With a soft chirp, a bird with long green feathers and a tail adorned with multicolored plumes flew up, emitting a rainbow-like glow.

It called out as it ascended from below, then perched on the crystalline tree.

"Senior, how did the Saint Mother respond?" the bird, standing on a branch, suddenly spoke.

A graceful female figure manifested within the crystalline tree.

Though she was exceedingly beautiful, she was embedded within the tree, like a person frozen in ice!

"The Saint Mother said she is aware, proceed according to the original plan," the figure within the tree replied.

The bird’s eyes shifted.

"Will he still be tested?"

"Yes."

The bird gazed downward and slowly continued,

"Then he’s in trouble! Venturing into Li Mountain without permission, the tree demons below won’t let him off easily!"

"Yes, I already sensed that the tree demons at the mountain’s base have surrounded him!" the figure within the tree stated.

The bird glanced sideways.

"Should we remind them to be lighter on him, after all, he did help the young lady cure her illness!" it inquired.

The figure within the tree pondered for a moment before speaking.

"We should remind them to go easy, avoid causing too much hostility! He is ultimately the young lady’s husband! He is the Saint Mother’s son-in-law!"

"Indeed, and his cultivation level isn’t high. Although he has a bad reputation, somewhat arrogant, he’s stirred up quite a bit of trouble, tarnishing his name, which the Saint Mother dislikes.

But if he were truly harmed, the young lady would be heartbroken. Let the tree demons teach him a lesson, just enough!" the bird followed, saying.

The figure within the tree shook the branches.

"Very well, I’ll remind them to ease up!

A simple suppression to curb his arrogance! To prevent future occurrences with the young lady, where his temper might make her upset!"

"Alright, Senior, you make the call!" the bird agreed.

The figure within the tree closed her eyes, preparing to use magic to transmit a message to all tree demons of Li Mountain.

Suddenly, her branch trembled, and she abruptly opened her eyes.

"Senior, what happened?" the bird, sensing the crystalline tree’s vibration, quickly asked.

The figure within the tree had wide eyes.

"I sensed a terrifyingly powerful force! This power far exceeds our imagination!!!" she said solemnly.

The bird’s eyes narrowed.

"Senior, where did such a powerful force come from? Has an expert entered our Li Mountain?"

"No, it’s just that one person!"

"You mean, the young lady’s husband?"

"Yes, it’s him! Oh no, I must warn the tree demons on Li Mountain not to obstruct him. Otherwise, they might be in mortal danger!" the figure within the tree began to act immediately.

The bird on the branch was astonished.

"The young lady’s husband? No way! He’s really that strong?"

Just then, it was taken aback.

Such a fright, as if a great crisis was approaching.

It hadn’t even reacted to what danger it was.

Whoosh!

A gust of strong wind roared by, lifting all its feathers.

It came so suddenly that all its feathers stood on end.

"Chirp!" it cried out in surprise.

It was then stunned by the scene before it.

In its eyes, on the Li Mountain before it, the landscape once completely concealed by lush trees now revealed a flat stretch dozens of meters wide to the east!

It was a wide path created by a force sweeping from the mountain’s base to the top.

The trees along the path were shattered to dust, floating in the air.

The terrible force even created a vacuum.

This power was so immense, shaking heaven and earth!

Even the cloud and mist, perpetually covering above its head, were pierced through.

It was impossible to tell how far it extended, only a vast, bottomless corridor could be seen!

"Se, Senior..." the bird called out.

The figure within the tree trembled slightly.

"I saw it!" she replied.

"Was it the young lady’s husband who did this?" the bird promptly asked.

"I... I don’t know. From the information, the young lady’s husband was, at most, at the Immortal Realm. But the power of this strike far surpassed the Immortal Realm! Even I couldn’t muster such a force!" the figure within the tree explained.

"Fortunately, this strike was only to clear a path. If it had struck Li Mountain..."

The consequences were unimaginable!

The next moment, Li Mountain trembled.

The tree demons beside the pathway moved their bodies.

Steadily giving way, until the path became even wider!

Some tree demons began moving their roots, heading toward the mountain peak.

"Sister Immortal Bird, Sister Immortal Bird!"

"Immortal Bird, someone is coming up, what should we do?"

"This person, by sheer strength alone, is comparable to the Saint Realm!"

Voices kept echoing as the roots approached.

On some roots, figures formed, eventually taking human shape!

One after another, they chattered away at the bird perched on the tree!

"I know, don’t be afraid!" the bird perched on the tree composed itself and said.

Don’t be afraid?

"Sister Immortal Bird, do you have a way to subdue him?" a small child with nine leaves atop its head asked.

The bird flapped its wings, transforming into a half-human, half-bird girl.

"No, but he should be the Saint Mother’s son-in-law, the young lady’s husband! Not an enemy!"

Should be!

She didn’t say it with certainty!

After all, in her eyes, the Saint Mother’s son-in-law shouldn’t be this strong!

Stronger than she could have imagined!

These words left the tree demons exchanging glances.

"When did the young lady get married?" a tree demon asked softly.

The bird cleared its throat.

"The Saint Mother doesn’t like this person, so she didn’t tell you about the young lady’s marriage to him. This time he came, the Saint Mother had planned.

For those on the mountain to humble him a bit, hoping he would be reserved and calm in the future, and worthy of the young lady, not cause her trouble!

But judging by these results, I think you all saw it!" she responded, looking a bit awkward.

The tree demons finally realized.

"This... Immortal Bird, who exactly is the Saint Mother’s son-in-law?"

The bird blinked its large eyes.

"Yang Yan, ranked among the top ten on the List of human and Gods’ Hatred, known as the Demon King of the world!"

The tree demons were taken aback.

"So it was him, no wonder the Saint Mother didn’t like him! But looking at the current circumstances, the Saint Mother might have no choice but to like him now!"

They all looked at the barren road stretching from below Li Mountain to its peak.

On the road, a figure walked toward them.

"Mother-in-law, your son-in-law has come to pay his respects to you!"
