Not long after Xu Ying and the others left, they saw the shapeless flesh finally forming into a human, even the torn clothes on his body were restored.

The crown on his head was also the same as before.

This is the characteristic of a celestial demon. A celestial demon will remember all the characteristics of the physical body, and even if it is damaged, it will be restored.

He walked towards the almost flattened mountaintop, but suddenly stepped on empty space and almost fell.

The young man in feathered clothes looked down and saw that he was missing a leg.

His clothes were torn and the crown was shattered. It took too much "cultivation" to restore these things, which resulted in him not being able to recover his leg.

The young man's body was filled with black energy, and his left leg split into two, becoming much thinner, but he didn't mind and arrived at the mountaintop.

He sniffed hard, it was the scent left by Zhu Chan.

The scent of this elixir was fatally attractive to him, tempting him to go and prey on it.

On the other side, a ray of sunlight shone into Bei Chenzi's eyes. Bei Chenzi weakly opened his eyes, Xu Ying, Zhu Chan, and Da Zhong looked at him with concern. When they saw him wake up, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bei Chenzi is fine!"

Xu Ying smiled and said, "I said that the old man has his own destiny, and it turned out to be true."

Zhu Chan flattered, "Lord Bei is a great warrior who fought against the celestial demon, brave and unparalleled, loyal to the heavens! Anyone who hears about Lord Bei's deeds will give a thumbs up and praise his loyalty!"

Bei Chenzi struggled to sit up, panting and said, "I guess I'm getting old. When I fought desperately with the celestial demon, my divine consciousness was disrupted by his blood and qi, causing my divine consciousness to go astray and fall into a coma..."

He suddenly pushed Xu Ying, Zhu Chan, and Da Zhong away, bumped into Da Zhong, and jumped off the head of the snake, shouting, "You bunch of bastards, I won't sacrifice myself for you anymore!

"Thump!" A muffled sound came.

Wan Qi was on the road and heard the sound and quickly asked, "What happened? Xu Ying, what happened?"

Xu Ying leaned down and looked down with the help of the black horn of the snake. He said, "The old man jumped down from your head. I only helped him treat the internal injuries of his five organs. His divine consciousness, Empty Silence's domain, and Hidden Scenery Transformation were all shaken, making it difficult for him to concentrate his mind. That boulder fell on the wall of the abyss and rolled for a long time before finally falling into the abyss.

Just when he couldn't hold on anymore, Da Zhong swayed and flew down, with the mouth of the bell facing upwards, catching him and slowly flying out of the abyss.

Da Zhong landed on the head of the snake, and Bei Chenzi rolled out of the mouth of the bell, his body weak, panting heavily.

Just now, he was desperate, thinking that he would fall into the abyss and die. At this moment, he was rescued and almost cried out.

He had an inexplicable fear of the abyss. When he was young, he had seen countless powerful cultivators try to explore the abyss, but they all disappeared without a trace. The abyss had become his nightmare.

Xu Ying praised, "Lord Bei is loyal and worried that we will sacrifice ourselves. After jumping into the abyss, he returned."

Bei Chenzi snorted, "Loyal my ass! I can't escape. If I could, I would have abandoned you bastards long ago!"

He vented his anger on Xu Ying, no longer polite, and cursed loudly, completely abandoning his previous demeanor.

He treated the internal injuries of his five organs, and his divine consciousness, Empty Silence's domain, and Hidden Scenery Transformation were all injured. He couldn't use his mana, so he fell down when he couldn't fly."

Wan Qi was startled and quickly stopped, "Which way did he jump? Left or right? On my right is the Abyss of Yin and Yang..."

"To the right."

Xu Ying looked down hard and finally saw Bei Chenzi. He saw the white-haired old man fall into the abyss about a hundred feet, fortunately landing on a protruding rock and not falling into the abyss.

If he fell into the abyss, even immortals would find it difficult to save him, and Xu Ying would have to find another "enthusiastic protector."

Bei Chenzi felt dizzy from the fall, and there were noisy voices coming from the abyss, as if countless trapped demons were whispering to him, disturbing his thoughts and making it difficult for him to concentrate.

Bei Chenzi was filled with fear and tried to stimulate his mana, but he couldn't gather any cultivation. Panicked, he shouted, "Xu Ying, save me-"

Suddenly, the rock loosened and slipped down.

Bei Chenzi exclaimed and barely activated his divine consciousness. He grabbed the cliff with one hand and Xu Ying's arm with the other, preventing himself from falling into the abyss.

Da Zhong said to Zhu Chan, "He's in a hurry." Zhu Chan nodded, "He's in a rage."

Xu Ying comforted, "Lord Bei, focus on healing. The celestial demon is not dead yet and is still chasing us. We still rely on Lord Bei to regain his strength and fight against the celestial demon."

"Fight against my ass!"

Bei Chenzi's anger had not subsided, and he continued to curse, "I, Bei Chenzi, have been glorious for three hundred years, witnessing the changes of the world, the rise and fall of dynasties. How many major events have passed before my eyes like fleeting clouds? I didn't expect to fall into the hands of you bastards today!"

Zhu Chan kindly reminded, "Lord Bei, I'm afraid only Xu Ying and Lord Seven are younger than you here. I don't know who the little bastards are."

North Star's heart was cold, thinking to himself, "That snake must be younger than me, but Xu Ying is definitely older than me."

He thought about how he had been running around in the mortal world for these years, working hard and enduring hardships. He had thought that after all the hard work, the good days were ahead of him. But he never expected to end up being devoured by a heavenly demon. He couldn't help but curse in anger.

After North Star finished cursing, Xu Ying said, "Old man, focus on your cultivation. By the way, do you have any healing elixirs? I remember some alchemy techniques for Qi cultivators that can produce elixirs to treat injuries."

"What's the use of treatment? Can we still not defeat that heavenly demon?"

Although he said that, North Star still took out some jade bottles from the realm of Empty Silence, poured out some elixirs, closed his eyes, and concentrated on catalyzing the medicinal power to heal his damaged primordial spirit and divine consciousness.

However, the injuries left by the heavenly demon, not only affected his physical body but also his Dao and the hidden realm of Empty Silence. These injuries couldn't be healed by elixirs alone. He needed to seclude himself and constantly contemplate to recover to his peak state. But now, North Star didn't have the opportunity to do so.

North Star sighed, feeling helpless, and said to Xu Ying, "If the heavenly demon catches up to us, we will undoubtedly die. I can't hold on for long, at most a few more strikes before being devoured by that heavenly demon. This bell won't work either."

Xu Ying looked at Da Zhong, who had already been repaired by Zhu Chan-chan, but his strength was insufficient to display much ability.

North Star said, "Now, I am also helpless. Either you throw this little girl into the abyss, or we all die together."

He looked at Zhu Chan-chan and said, "Perhaps, I can take a bite of this little girl, just one bite."

Zhu Chan-chan quickly hid behind Xu Ying and glared at him fiercely.

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Old man, there must be other ways, right? Let me think..."

He paced back and forth on his seven heads and suddenly his eyes lit up. He said, "Old man, you have lived from the time of the Martial Emperor until now, you must have many friends, right?"

North Star laughed in anger and said, "Are you asking me to deceive my friends? Let me tell you, in my line of work, there are no friends at all. Even if I want to deceive someone, there's nowhere to do it!"

Xu Ying's eyes flickered and he said, "Do you know of any dangerous places that can restrain the heavenly demon?"

North Star shook his head and said, "Those dangerous places would kill me even at my peak state, let alone now."

Xu Ying pondered and said, "Then is there any place where we can avoid the perception of the heavenly demon?"

North Star's heart moved and he said, "There is such a place."

He whispered, "There is a temple in a dangerous land. Where are we now?"

Xu Ying didn't recognize the geography, so he asked Wang Qi to carry them into the air. North Star looked around and said in despair, "We are too far away from that Ten Earth Temple. It is in Daozhou, and we won't be able to make it in time."

Suddenly, a phoenix tree standing on a strange peak caught their eyes.

North Star cried tears of joy and pointed to the mountain, shouting, "That's Mount Tongbai! There is a Green Phoenix Divine Tree on the mountain! Maybe Feng Xian'er is hiding there!"

Xu Ying, Zhu Chan-chan, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Qi descended from the sky, and they hurried towards Mount Tongbai. Flying in the sky on a sword consumed too much spiritual energy for Xu Ying, a huge creature, and crawling was more energy-saving and only slightly slower.

After a while, they arrived at Mount Tongbai, climbed up the mountain, and arrived under the Green Phoenix Divine Tree.

The phoenix flowers on the tree had already withered, and there were many green fruits hanging from it. Xu Ying's divine sense surged as he quickly scanned the divine tree but did not detect Feng Xian'er's aura.

However, Xu Ying didn't give up. He flew around the Green Phoenix Divine Tree on his sword, continuously striking the tree trunk, trying to see if there was another hidden realm within the divine tree.

Under the Green Phoenix Divine Tree, the big snake Wang Qi suddenly said, "I know another way to survive. But this matter requires the old man's cooperation."

North Star frowned and said, "What can you, a little snake demon, do?"

Wang Qi said, "Xu Ying must have a seal inside his body. Sometimes, he will perform astonishing feats when the seal leaks and awakens part of his memories. I was thinking..."

North Star categorically said, "It's impossible! Don't even think about it!"

Wang Qi said, "If we don't take this step, we will all die here. North Star, what is the thing you most want to do in your life? Is it to be forced to watch that forever young boy? Don't you want to do what you really want to do?"

"A forever young boy?" Zhu Chan-chan suddenly remembered something and her face changed slightly. She quickly looked up at Xu Ying on the Green Phoenix Divine Tree and murmured to herself, "Could it be that the legend is true?"

She showed an incredulous expression.

North Star's face changed constantly as he also looked up at Xu Ying. He saw Xu Ying flying on his sword, continuously striking the bronze divine tree, persistent and unwavering.Wan Qi said, "Now, if you don't help him break the seal, we will all die here. The thing you most want to do in your life will never be accomplished. If you help him break the seal and eliminate the Heavenly Demon, you can just seal him again afterwards."

The giant snake slowly circled around Beichenzi, always staring at him. Its voice sometimes came from the front, sometimes from the back, suddenly from the left and then from the right, persuasively saying, "Only this way can we escape the current deadlock. You don't want to be a prison guard when death is imminent, do you?"

"At the moment of your death, when you look back on the most exciting thing in your life, it won't just be being a prison guard, will it?"

The giant snake coiled higher and higher around Beichenzi, its voice becoming more elusive, whispering, "Perhaps, perhaps fighting the Heavenly Demon will be the most exciting battle of your life.

Perhaps, helping Ah Ying break the seal will be the most divine act of your life."

"Enough!"

Beichenzi shouted angrily, his face gloomy, and scolded, "Little snake demon, you dare to try to bewitch me? Do you think my Daoist cultivation and Daoist heart, honed over three thousand years, are a joke?"

The giant snake, as if scolded, collapsed like water and slithered away in a dejected manner.

Beichenzi, majestic, turned his face, his expression fluctuating.

At this moment, Zhu Chan Chan said anxiously, "The Heavenly Demon is coming, it's nearby! What should we do?"

Beichenzi's face changed drastically. He took out a yellow robe from his Empty Silence domain, shook it fiercely, and the robe flew up as if worn by an invisible person. The robe rustled and flew away.

After sending away the yellow robe, Beichenzi took out an altar. On the altar was a shrine. The old man took out a peach wood sword and ascended the altar.

There were no gods enshrined on the shrine, but a paper talisman.

The characters on the talisman were bird-seal insect script, written with a golden pen, more complex than any bird-seal insect script Xu Ying had ever seen, carrying a natural Daoist charm.

In front of the talisman, a thick stick of incense was lit. The smoke rose straight towards the talisman and was absorbed by it. This stick of incense would take at least a year and a half to burn out!

Beichenzi ascended the altar, held the sword, and performed a ritual, paying respects to heaven and earth, muttering words in his mouth.

At this moment, a young man wearing a crown of victory feathers and a golden feather robe ascended Mount Tongbai and appeared before everyone.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Da Zhong protected Zhu Chan Chan and retreated, shouting loudly, "Ah Ying! Come down quickly!"

At the same time, Wan Qi shouted loudly, "Beichenzi, what are you waiting for? Do it!"

Beichenzi gritted his teeth, and with a swish, the peach wood sword in his hand stabbed out, cutting off the flame of the thick incense!

He held the flame on the tip of his sword, gave it a slight shake, and it immediately went out.

On the shrine, the incense fire was cut off, and no more smoke flew towards the talisman.

Suddenly, everything was quiet, and no sound could be heard.

At this moment, a breeze gradually rose, the wind grew stronger and stronger, rustling, all the plants were moving, and in an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky, coming from nowhere.

The sky and earth changed color, and the strong wind blew the Qingtong Divine Tree swaying in the wind!

"Crack!"

A huge thunderbolt fell from the sky, striking the Qingtong Divine Tree and splitting it in half!

The divine tree fell with a rumble, and a figure fell to the ground in the thunder and lightning, half-bent and half-squatting, slowly raising his head. It was Xu Ying. The lightning seemed to have turned into a pattern, flickering and jumping on his forehead.

He slowly stood up, and the dark clouds in the sky began to whirl wildly, and he was at the center of the vortex!
