Lin Yueru was the first to raise her hand, excitedly saying, "I want to go! Hehe! If my dad knew I'd been to the God Realm, he'd probably never have the face to brag about his past adventures again."
"If he tries to intimidate me with his title as the leader of the martial arts alliance again, I'll ask him how the leader of the martial arts alliance can have never even been to the realm of gods. Just imagining his expression makes me want to laugh, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh, "What a loving father and filial daughter! Your father is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter like you."
Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to speak, Tang Xuejian suddenly stood up and said coldly, "I want to go too."
Jing Tian scratched his head and said, "Miss Tang, wouldn't you just be causing trouble? That Well of Gods and Demons sounds very dangerous, and everyone will have to take care of you."
Tang Xuejian, who was already furious, felt a surge of anger rise within her upon hearing this. She glared at Jing Tian and charged into the magic array without looking back.
"Hey, wait for me!" Jing Tian, holding the Demon Sword, anxiously chased after her. Tang Xue's martial arts skills were too poor; if she got lost inside, her chances of survival would be almost zero.
Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to leave, Chu Yang grabbed him and pulled him back.
"What are you doing, Brother Chu?"
"Come with me to the Nanzhao Kingdom to get the Water Spirit Pearl."
"Huh? Just the two of us?"
"Otherwise what? You don't necessarily want to take your whole family on a trip, do you?"
"But this is the only chance I'll ever have in my life to go to the realm of gods..."
"Who said that? You can also choose to cultivate diligently and ascend to immortality in broad daylight. I believe in you!"
After arguing with Chu Yang for a long time, Li Xiaoyao finally decided to stay, watching helplessly as the others entered the magic circle and headed towards the Well of Gods and Demons.
"Junior brother, your cultivation is now higher than mine, so I won't give you any more instructions. Just remember to take good care of Brother Li."
Xu Changqing glanced at Zixuan out of the corner of his eye, preparing to enter the magic array, when Chu Yang quickly stuffed a jade bottle into his arms.
"Keep these blood bodhi seeds safe; they could save your life in a critical moment. Don't be stingy with them."
Xu Changqing nodded and stepped into the magic array.
Chu Yang originally thought that Zi Xuan would follow, but unexpectedly she walked towards him instead.
"May I go to the Nanzhao Kingdom with you two?"
Only after Xu Changqing left would Zixuan show a sorrowful expression; she found it difficult to muster the courage to return to her homeland alone.
Like she once said.
This is the price!
The price one must pay for abandoning the mission of being a descendant of Nuwa for love.
"Xiaoyao, you make the decision."
Chu Yang sighed.
Looking at Zi Xuan, who looked as lowly as a sinner, Li Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and said, "Zi Xuan... senior, come with us to the Nanzhao Kingdom. Even if we made a huge mistake, it should be let by now."
Zi Xuan was in tears. "Thank you all."
Afterwards, the three of them flew away from Fengdu on their swords and headed to the Nanzhao Kingdom.
The Well of Gods and Demons on the other side.
Jing Tian finally caught up with Tang Xuejian. The two wandered around the Well of Gods and Demons for a while. Their anger subsided, but they couldn't find their way back.
Left with no other choice, the two continued to grope their way forward, but after only a few steps, they encountered a terrifying monster.
They were a group of monsters of various shapes, like pieces of broken things forcibly pieced together, which looked disgusting.
Tang Xuejian was startled. She forced herself to endure the nausea and pulled out her weapon, ready to fight back. Jing Tian raised the demon sword and stood in front of her, giving her a great sense of security.
However, the two men were outnumbered and soon found themselves in a dangerous predicament.
Fortunately, Longkui had a special connection with the Demon Sword, and at the critical moment, she led Xu Changqing and Lin Yueru to find them.
The group reunited and began to do their best to eliminate the monsters in front of them. After about 15 minutes, they put down their weapons and rested.
Tang Xuejian realized how much trouble she had caused everyone and bowed to each of her companions to apologize.
"I was in a rush just now, and there was a question I didn't get to ask everyone," Xu Changqing suddenly said, startling Tang Xuejian, who was apologizing.
"When we entered the Ghost Realm, did anyone see Junior Brother's physical body?"
Xu Changqing asked the question that he cared about very much.
"We didn't see it! We thought Master Chu hadn't gone down."
"That's right, I forgot to ask Master Chu about that just now."
"Could it be that Master Chu entered the Ghost Realm using his physical body? How is that possible?"
Hearing everyone's explanations, Xu Changqing already had his answer.
Junior brother... he really is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu!
No wonder my junior brother's cultivation improved so quickly; it turns out it wasn't just due to the power of the Demon-Eating Gu!
Shocked. Shocked.
Xu Changqing seemed to have gotten used to this feeling of being entangled with reincarnation and destiny.
Jing Tian's previous incarnations were General Fei Peng and Prince Long Yang, and he had a love affair with Zi Xuan across two lifetimes.
It's not surprising that Chu Yang is the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor.
"When we get back, we still need to explain this to our masters..."
After a short rest, the group continued to explore the Well of Gods and Demons. With a sufficient supply of Blood Bodhi, any injury could be quickly healed.
There's no need to worry about getting injured. Every time Jing Tian engages in a battle at the Well of Gods and Demons, his cultivation level increases at a visible rate.
Fortunately, with Li Xiaoyao's masterpiece as a precedent, Xu Changqing wasn't too shocked. He could only sigh that the reincarnation of a god was indeed extraordinary.
Including Longkui, the five of them wreaked havoc inside the Well of Gods and Demons, making their way to the top floor. Here, they were guarded by numerous demon generals, no longer the strange and grotesque monsters they had encountered before.
No matter how fast Jing Tian and Xu Changqing progress, it will be difficult for them to break through the last layer of defenses.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Demon Lord Chonglou reappeared.
"Well done, finally you're starting to resemble Fei Peng." Chonglou didn't hold back his praise for Jing Tian. The faster the other party improved, the sooner the battle he was looking forward to would arrive.
"I've said I'm not Fei Peng, can you stop comparing me to that person?" Jing Tian looked exhausted. He had said it many times, but the red-haired monster in front of him still did whatever he wanted.
Chonglou ordered the demon generals guarding the passage to make way, and personally opened the road to the divine realm for them, as a reward for Jingtian.
Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru entered first, followed by Jing Tian and Long Kui.
Just as Xu Changqing was about to go in, Chonglou suddenly spoke up: "Among the six realms, only humans have feelings. Don't easily give up the people in front of you for the sake of the illusory path of immortality. What you have is something that both gods and demons envy."
Xu Changqing stared at Chonglou. He knew that this high and mighty Demon Lord liked Zixuan, but he did not expect that the Demon Clan would actually advise him to cherish their fate.
The normal storyline would be that the Demon Lord plots against him in every way possible until he and Zi Xuan are completely separated, and then takes advantage of the situation to break in.
What a strange demon, it even smells like a human.
"All destinies are determined by Heaven. How can a mortal like me control the arising and ceasing of destinies? I will remember the Demon Lord's heartfelt words today, but as for the outcome, I can only submit to the will of Heaven."
Xu Changqing bowed respectfully and walked into the magic array without turning his head.
Chonglou lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Is fate really that important?"
When Xu Changqing and the others entered the God Realm, Chu Yang and Li Xiaoyao also took Zi Xuan back to the old land of Nanzhao Kingdom. The three of them went directly to the Nuwa Temple.
The Holy Maiden who accompanied Zixuan has long since passed away, but in the main hall, to the side of the statue of Nuwa, her memorial tablet can still be seen.
Zixuan devoutly offered incense to the Holy Maiden, then knelt before the statue of Nuwa and began to weep bitterly.
She was repenting for the mistakes she had made over the years.
But Chu Yang didn't understand what was wrong with a person pursuing their own happiness. Was it just because she was a descendant of Nuwa?
"Brother Chu, where is the Water Spirit Orb? Didn't the Demon Lord tell us to come to the Nanzhao Kingdom to find it?"
Li Xiaoyao whispered in Chu Yang's ear, his movements resembling those of a dog thief for some reason.
"Can't you just ask openly? This is the Nuwa Temple, not the Moon Worship Cult."
Chu Yang pushed him away with a look of disgust.
Li Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "Who are you asking?"
Chu Yang cupped his hands towards the statue of Nuwa and said with a smile, "I beg Your Majesty to help him retrieve the Water Spirit Orb."
next moment.
The statue of Nuwa shone brightly, its warm orange glow illuminating all directions.
"Li Xiaoyao, I can send you back to the past, but you have to promise me that no matter what you see, you can't interfere."
Before Li Xiaoyao could even agree, he was enveloped in light and disappeared from Chu Yang's sight.
When Zixuan saw the goddess Nuwa appear, she cried even more bitterly.
Nuwa sighed, "Foolish child... truly a foolish child."
After worrying for so long, Chu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiaoyao being sent back ten years signifies the completion of the time loop, completely eliminating the possibility of a sudden change in the world.
