"indecisive!"
Seeing that Chu Yang did not respond for a long time, Chonglou immediately summoned a teleportation portal to prepare to leave.
"Demon Lord, please wait. Please open the passage for us."
Xu Changqing clasped his hands in a salute, his gaze resolute, "Junior Brother will not be accompanying us on this trip."
Chonglou's expression softened slightly. "You do have some sense of responsibility."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "You've already told us the whereabouts of the Wind Spirit Orb, so what's the difference with the Water Spirit Orb? Tell us about it as well."
Chonglou said, "The Water Spirit Orb is clearly with you, yet you're asking me this? That's ridiculous!"
Li Xiaoyao stared blankly at Chonglou, "I don't even know what the Water Spirit Orb looks like—"
"Then go to the Nanzhao Kingdom, all the answers you seek are there!" Chonglou was too lazy to explain to him, and disappeared after leaving behind these words.
Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and said, "Brother Chu, what does he mean by this? How could the Water Spirit Orb be on me? Why is he sending me to the Nanzhao Kingdom?"
Chu Yang patted his shoulder, "Since the Demon Lord wants you to go, he must have his reasons."
Those words just now almost proved that the Water Spirit Orb was in Li Xiaoyao's hands ten years ago, and that he needed to use Nuwa's power to go back ten years to get the orb.
Seeing Chonglou leave, Yama breathed a sigh of relief and came over with Zhongpan and the ghost messengers, bowing respectfully to Chu Yang.
Chu Yang accepted the greeting with peace of mind, while outwardly maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
At this moment, even if Chu Yang denies being the reincarnation of the Fengdu Emperor, what difference does it make? If he were to reveal the truth, he would probably never be able to set foot in the Ghost Realm again in this lifetime.
Moreover, Yama was originally after Fengdu. If Chu Yang doesn't admit it, he will immediately lead his men to seize the sword, which will lead to another great battle.
If they can't defeat the Demon Lord, can't they at least bully these few mortals who are still cultivating?
After all, he is the ruler of a realm, so even if his strength is weak, it can't be that bad.
"The past is but a passing cloud. I am now just a mortal, so you shall still be in charge of matters in the Ghost Realm. I will not interfere, and everything will proceed as usual."
Chu Yang said calmly.
These words made Yama, the King of Hell, realize his mistake. A fleeting look of joy crossed his face, but it quickly turned grim. "What are you saying, Your Majesty? You are the true ruler of the Ghost Realm. I am merely acting as your trustee; I will return it to you sooner or later!"
"From this day forward, your status in the Ghost Realm will remain revered, and your decrees will be my orders. No one in the Ghost Realm will dare to disobey you."
The more confidently Yama made his vows, the less Chu Yang believed he was sincere; at the very least, the other party was still worried about him seizing power.
"Do you see—is there anything else you wish to instruct us to do?" King Yama carefully observed Chu Yang's expression.
"Send us back to the world of the living."
A moment later.
King Yama personally escorted Chu Yang and the others back to Fengdu City in the mortal realm, warmly welcoming the leaders to come down and inspect at any time, before disappearing.
The passage to the Well of Gods and Demons was set up by Chonglou near the city gate, and they saw the magic circle as soon as they came out.
"You're finally back!"
"Where's the Fire Spirit Orb? Did you get it?"
After waiting all night, Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru were excited when they saw Chu Yang and the other two, and they rushed over chattering excitedly.
"Nonsense! Of course I got it! Don't you know who I am?"
Li Xiaoyao took out the Fire Spirit Orb and waved it in front of the two of them, smiling with great satisfaction.
"Where is the Demon Lord? Did he make things difficult for you?"
Zixuan suddenly appeared and walked straight up to Xu Changqing, her eyes full of worry.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
It felt like watching a live drama.
Xu Changqing, as always, remained gentle and refined, speaking slowly and deliberately: "The Demon Lord did indeed appear in the Ghost Realm and even fought with us, but was ultimately persuaded to return to the Demon Realm by my junior brother!"
"He was persuaded to go back?!" Zi Xuan was extremely surprised; this answer was beyond her expectations. "How could that be? If he could listen to others, he wouldn't be the Demon Lord!"
Xu Changqing said with a complicated expression, "The Demon Lord only wants to repair the Holy Spirit Pearl. If my junior brother agrees to restore the Holy Spirit Pearl to its original state, he will no longer make things difficult for us."
Zixuan suddenly became nervous and said in a hurried tone, "There's nothing between me and him. It's his business if he wants to repair the Holy Spirit Pearl. I've never approached him or asked him for anything."
Xu Changqing said indifferently, "You don't need to tell me about the relationship between Miss Zixuan and the Demon Lord. That's Miss Zixuan's own business. However, the Demon Lord is, after all, a demon, and is extremely unpredictable. It would be best if you were to be more careful."
Zi Xuan clenched her fists, feeling a strange sense of grievance. She gritted her teeth and stared intently at Xu Changqing.
Everyone watched with bated breath, and even Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Xu Changqing, do you know who she is—"
Tang Xuejian panicked and jumped out to reveal the truth, but little did she know that Xu Changqing had already remembered everything. As a result, Jing Tian covered her mouth and pulled her to a corner.
Tang Xuejian, who was furious, vented all her anger on Jing Tian, her fists raining down on him.
Longkui appeared quietly, hugged Tang Xuejian tightly, and said, "Sister Xuejian, please stop hitting brother."
"All men in the world are the same kind of scoundrels, it's infuriating!" Tang Xuejian broke free from Long Kui's embrace, squatted on the ground, and angrily threw stones at each other.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Chu Yang coughed and smiled, "Before the Demon Lord left, he said that the Wind Spirit Orb was in the God Realm. However, to get to the God Realm, we need to go through the Well of Gods and Demons. He opened the passage for us. Anyone who wants to go can say so now."
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 world again, I'll ask him how the leader of the martial arts world 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's wrong, Brother Chu?"
"Come with me to the Nanzhao Kingdom to get the Water Spirit Orb."
"Huh? Just the two of us?"
"Otherwise what? You don't necessarily want to take your whole family on a trip, do you?"
"But I only have this one chance 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.
Just as 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."
Zixuan 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 extremely disgusting.
Tang Xuejian was startled. She forced herself to endure the nausea and pulled out her weapon, ready to resist. 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 our 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."
"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 as I am.
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 and the others—"
After a short rest, the group continued to explore the Well of Gods and Demons. With a sufficient supply of Blood Bodhi, any kind of 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 Jingtian. The faster the other party improved, the sooner the battle he was looking forward to would arrive.
"I've told you 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 mistake a person made in 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 bowed to 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.
