Ming Long, or more accurately, Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas vanished before their eyes, leaving Wu Yu and group behind.
This was infuriating. This was supposed to be a joyous event but Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas had to upset the apple cart.
"Let’s split up to search for her. As long as we can find her, I’ll go beg Patriarch Bodhi for help to see if we could erase the soul of Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas away." This was the only solution Wu Yu could think of.
Luo Pin and others also understood the pressing nature of the matter. They nodded and headed out immediately.
"I’ll take a look at the Well of Eternal Life. If I see her, I will intercept her while informing you guys."
The Well of Eternal Life was the first place Full Moon of Nanshan had thought about. If Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas wanted to leave Mettle Sky, she definitely had to go through the Well of Eternal Life.
"Alright. Thank you."
Wu Yu nodded solemnly. After, he got up and headed out without hesitation to search in Mettle Sky.
He summoned his Somersault Cloud and used the In The Same Breath Mystique to constantly traversed through Mettle Sky. When using In The Same Breath, Wu Yu could cross almost half of Mettle Sky in an instant. Therefore, he was most appropriate to search from the exterior.
As for Ye Xixi and Luo Pin, they separated and started their search, hoping to find signs of Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas.
As for Full Moon of Nanshan, he went to guard where the Well of Eternal Life was. Once she showed up, he would intercept immediately. After all, the Mettle Sky was the territory of Patriarch Bodhi. It wouldn’t be easy for an ordinary person to leave.
The key was no one knew what tricks Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas had. The Saintly Lotus Frame was just created and her cultivation realm was no different from an ordinary immortal. How could she vanish before their eyes so abruptly?
Wu Yu was flustered. If Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas was determined to hide, it would really be difficult for him to find.
Even if she had hidden herself in Mettle Sky, she could hide for a long time. Wu Yu was quick but would still require a long period to search the entire sky palaces.
Unknowingly, several days had passed. Wu Yu still didn’t find any clue of where Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas was.
Nothing was heard from Full Moon of Nanshan as well. There wasn’t any sign of Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas in the vicinity of the Well of Eternal Life.
It was the same with Luo Pin and Ye Xixi. Reaping no results after several days of search, Wu Yu’s heart sank to the lowest point.
In the end, they could only gather back at the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars. They shook their heads, signalling they couldn’t find anything about Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas.
"This isn’t funny. What if Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas was to devour Ming Long’s consciousness?" Full Moon of Nanshan shook his head, furrowed his brows and really hope he had a way to help Wu Yu.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t think of anything under the current circumstances.
Just as everyone was like ants on a hot pan, an immortal message talisman reached them. Wu Yu’s heart tensed up as he quickly went through the contents of the immortal message talisman.
"It is from Ming Long."
After a quick glance, Wu Yu said, "She said she’s currently on the 7,199 level of Heaven, a level below our Mettle Sky. Her current state is that she’s sharing the body with the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord and they are basically equally matched. No one can do a thing to the other."
Whenever Ming Long gained control of the body, she would attempt to rush towards where Wu Yu was.
However, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord would quickly regain control of the body and directed her to a further place.
"Did she disclose where is her current location? Let’s head over to check now," said Luo Pin immediately.
"Yeah. She’s deep in the mountains one level of Heaven below us. I’ll rush over first as I’m a little quicker alone."
Wu Yu nodded and used In The Same Breath to traverse through space at the quickest speed.
Full Moon of Nanshan and the group waited anxiously. Shortly after, Wu Yu was back and was shaking his head. Clearly, he couldn’t locate Ming Long at all.
"It appears that before I get to her, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord had regained control of the body and left where she said she was."
Wu Yu shook his head and continued, "We could only wait for her to send us an immortal message talisman again. I’ll rush over at my quickest speed then and see if I can find her before the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord get control over her body again."
"Mm."
The group nodded. This was in fact the only option now.
Now, they just had to wait. On several occasions when Ming Long sent immortal message talismans over, Wu Yu rushed to the location she indicated immediately. Yet, when Wu Yu arrived, it was still the same as the first time. She was gone without a trace.
Wu Yu was able to get quicker each time but yet still couldn’t intercept the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord before she left.
After several times, Wu Yu understood. Considering that the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord and Ming Long was locked in a standstill, it was unlikely that Wu Yu could catch up to them.
This was because Ming Long and the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord were in a balanced state. Both parties couldn’t eliminate the other and therefore the situation where each party was in control would persist.

When Ming Long gained control of the body, she naturally wanted to get back to Wu Yu so they could find a way to expel the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.
However, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord knew everything about Wu Yu, including the fact that if she was intercepted by Wu Yu and sent to Patriarch Bodhi, she would likely be erased entirely. After all, Patriarch Bodhi was an elite immortal emperor in the sky palaces. No one knew what magical abilities he possessed.
Judging from the fact that Taiyi Zhenren could bring the dead back to life, one would never underestimate an elite immortal emperor.
"Ming Long and Nangong Wei...... Both are issues!"
Wu Yu was seriously bothered by the two issues.
First, it was about Nangong Wei and Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord. He had no idea how she was and what she encountered to have undergone the major and mysterious transformation.
As for the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, the issue was greater.
Although the issue with Nangong Wei was mysterious, it wouldn’t harm her even if Wu Yu disregarded the issue.
However, if the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord exposed everything about Wu Yu, it would become an extremely huge lurking peril. Everything about the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, the Eternal Emperor Tomb in the Demon Immortal Realm and many other matters weren’t known by any others in the sky palaces currently.
This was also what worried Wu Yu the most.
Obviously, Wu Yu was really worried about Ming Long as well. If Ming Long was erased by the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord in the Saintly Lotus Frame, Wu Yu would never let the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord get away. He vowed to make her experience all the pain and misery in this world.
On consecutive attempts, Wu Yu failed to arrive before the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord got away. Shortly after, Ming Long sent an immortal message talisman to him, instructing him to leave this matter aside first.
"Rest assured. I’ll handle the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord myself. Just wait patiently for your old mother’s return!"
This was the last immortal message talisman he received from her. After, she vanished completely, leaving Wu Yu with no other clue.
Clearly, Ming Long felt troubling Wu Yu to run around wasn’t effective at all. Furthermore, she would be wasting Wu Yu’s time. Since she made those claims, Wu Yu believed she had some confidence about them.
However, Wu Yu wasn’t expecting her to resolve the issue quickly.
Even if there’s a way to erase the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, it would probably take a very long time. Judging from what happened, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord seemed to be a little stronger and had control of the body for a longer period.
It wouldn’t help even if Wu Yu was worried about Ming Long. When Ming Long stopped contacting him, he had no ways to determine where she was.
Trying to locate where she was in the sky palaces would be far from an easy task. The area of the 8,000 Sky Palaces was too vast. There were also areas that were deserted and with few humans. If the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord chose to hide in those areas, Wu Yu might not find her even if he had searched for several tens of thousands of years.
With various matters weighing on him, Wu Yu couldn’t cultivate in peace. After all, the two issues had exhausted him greatly.
One day, he sensed an unbelievable event. That was the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which he had given to Taiyi Zhenren, seemed to be approaching him at extreme speed.
This gave him a scare.
How could the Ruyi Jingu Bang be returning to him on its own?
He walked out of the palace with doubts and happened to bump into Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi.
They noticed his weird expression immediately. Luo Pin was the first to ask concerningly, "What’s the matter? Is it that you have news of Ming Long?"
"No."
Wu Yu shook his head and continued, "I’m just feeling a little strange. Ruyi Jingu Bang seems to be on its way back to me. Is this a misconception?"
Although that’s what he said, he could clearly feel the familiar aura of Ruyi Jingu Bang getting closer and closer to him.
"What? Did I hear you wrongly?"
Full Moon of Nanshan was stumped. "Didn’t you give the Ruyi Jingu Bang to that scheming Taiyi? How could it return when it is in his hands? Old Wu, are you having illusions from over-worrying?"
If Taiyi Zhenren heard what he said, he would probably suffer? Fortunately, he knew everyone that was present and therefore wasn’t afraid Taiyi Zhenren would learn about it.
However, just as he was done speaking, a golden light shone from the sky. Immediately after, a golden rod descended and sank into the ground before Wu Yu with a bang!
Full Moon of Nanshan’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"It’s really back."
Luo Pin and Ye Xixi stood up and were equally astounded.
They couldn’t be more familiar with Ruyi Jingu Bang. This was an absolute treasure that Wu Yu had with him all the time in the past. It’s an paramount epochal immortal treasure that even elite immortal emperor like Taiyi Zhenren would covet.
Therefore, they recognized the golden rod before they eyes with a single glance. That was Wu Yu’s Ruyi Jingu Bang and they definitely wouldn’t recognize it wrongly.
"Oh shucks! Old Wu, did you tamper with it previously? This isn’t possible!"
Full Moon of Nanshan still couldn’t believe that the Ruyi Jingu Bang would return on its own.
