"This... this!" Ye Chen coughed dryly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"You promised her that you would love her forever." Xuan Nu flashed her beautiful eyes.
"Don't make trouble, I never said that." Ye Chen adjusted his clothes and moved his little brother.
"My spirit is in your body. I remember what she said before her death more than two hundred years ago. Your tears were clearly shed for her." Xuan Nu smiled lightly, raised her hand to brush Ye Chen's chest, and took the photo A ray of fairy light appeared, which was her spirit, which had been integrated into Tianji Dan in the past.
"Let's find it later." Ye Chen scratched his head, stepped out, and logged into Xutian.
Xuannv smiled and followed her, with some hope in her heart. She hoped that it was not Ji Ningshuang but her who was in Canglan Realm, even though Ye Chen was in a confused state at that moment.
The two of them, like fairy light and divine light, walked across the sky and passed through the quiet and peaceful night.
Ye Chen put on a black robe and a ghost mask, and once again used Zhou Tian to cover up the mystery.
Xuannv, on the other hand, simply disguised herself as a man, looking handsome but scumbag.
Ye Chen took a look, his eyes were very strange, what's wrong with these Dachu women? They all like to dress up as men, Ji Ningshuang likes it, Hongchenxue likes it, and even Xuannv does this.
Shaking his head and melon seeds, he casually cast a celestial light into the immortal light, which penetrated into Xuannv's body and covered up the opportunity for him. The world was too chaotic, so adding a layer of protection was not a bad thing.
Near dawn, they landed in front of an unknown ancient city.
This ancient city is already quite old, covered with the dust of time, and may have experienced wars. There are still traces of swords, swords and halberds on the city walls, each of which bears witness to the vicissitudes of life.
"Eternal City." Ye Chen glanced at the stone tablet standing in front of the ancient city, then took out the map and checked it. He found this city, but his expression became a little exciting.
"Why this expression?" Xuan Nu couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.
"It's a bit ridiculous, see for yourself." Ye Chen directly handed the map to Xuannv without explaining.
Xuannv took it, glanced at the map, and accurately found the location of Eternal City, but her expression became wonderful, "No... Isn't it Zhongzhou? How did you get to the Southern Territory."
"The evil spirit is worthy of being a great god in the prehistoric era. He really has great supernatural powers." Ye Chen exclaimed and clicked his tongue, "Zhongzhou is thousands of miles away from here, but he can be sent here in one piece. It's awesome."
With that said, he walked into the ancient city, thinking to himself that the evil spirit had brought him to the southern region. He didn't know where he would take Ji Ningshuang, and maybe he would lose it to her.
"Did you hear that the ancient ruins in Zhongzhou collapsed?" As he pondered, there were discussions on both sides of the street. "I heard that more than 90% of the people who went in died."
"Collapse of ancient ruins?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, stopped at a tea stall, found a seat, and ordered a pot of tea. The discussion here was the hottest here.
"The ruins collapsed, I know about it." At the table next to him, a bearded man rolled up his sleeves, spittle flying all over the sky, "I heard that there are damn evil spirits in the ruins, and everyone who goes in to hunt for treasures is... When it is swallowed up, the entire sea of red lotus karma will be dyed red."
"Those who can be killed are all ruthless characters, including the Nine Immortals of the Imperial Family, the Sons and Goddess of the Nine Ancient Tribes, the Central Emperor Xizun, the Southern Emperor and the Northern Sage, and the Phoenix Son of God." A wretched old man was unwilling to be left alone, but he sighed, "Only It’s a pity that the Holy Body and the Eastern God are nowhere to be seen.”
"Speaking of the Holy Body, he is the monster." Everyone at the table grinned. "Three years ago, outside the ancient city of Donghuang, everyone thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he was still alive in this world, and was causing trouble everywhere in the ruins. He also defeated the Immortal Clan Godson, what a damn surprise.”
"I have a feeling that the Holy Body is still alive." It was the wretched old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks again, stroking his old beard with a meaningful look on his face, "His life is very tough."
"It seems that a lot of things happened yesterday." During the discussion, Ye Chen took a sip of tea, "The ancient ruins actually collapsed. Is it also the work of that evil spirit?"
"What are your plans next?" Xuan Nu said, filling another cup for Ye Chen.
"I'm not going anywhere, I need to stop for a few days." Ye Chen said one word, and a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. There was also weak thunder and lightning in the blood, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Another divine punishment?" Xuan Nu's eyes were full of worry, as if she knew Ye Chen's current state.
"It doesn't matter." Ye Chen wiped away the blood, but frowned slightly. She vaguely remembered the evil devil's words. The reason why he and Ji Ningshuang were allowed to have sex was because they were both punished by God.
Since waking up, he has felt that the power of the Heavenly Punishment has become much weaker, and it is completely within his tolerance.
He understood that this must be related to the relationship between him and Ji Ningshuang. Their divine punishments canceled each other out in the relationship. He was extremely sure that Ji Ningshuang's divine punishment was also much weaker.
In this way, the evil spirit helped them, but he didn't think the evil spirit's purpose was that simple. She was a demon who never did normal things, so there must be a deeper meaning.
He needs a retreat to completely suppress the Heavenly Punishment, and he also needs time to understand the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique passed down to him by the Demon Cauldron Spirit. It is a heaven-defying immortal method, and its true meaning is as vast as the sea.
"Although I really want to accompany you all the way, I know that I also shoulder a mission." Seeing Ye Chen's silence, Xuan Nu pulled up her hair and smiled tenderly, "Give me your soul mark!"
"The world is in chaos, so be careful." Ye Chen handed over the storage bag, which contained many jade slips that sealed the immortal light of memory, as well as many magical weapons and source stone elixirs.
"Understood." Xuan Nu took it, slowly stood up, and then slowly leaned down, holding Ye Chen's face across the tea table, two red lips were printed on the ghost mask on Ye Chen's face, and There was a tender murmur, "I hope to see you again next year. You have a family full of children and grandchildren."
Everyone in the tea stall looked sideways, especially the bearded man and the wretched old man. Their eyes were straightened, and they stood up and shouted domineeringly: "Together."
The street was bustling, and Xuannv disappeared among the scattered figures, leaving only a trace of lip prints and a soft murmur, which were both hope and blessing. It would take many years to see her again after this departure.
Ye Chen smiled, drank the last cup of tea, left a piece of Origin Stone, and disappeared. If he wanted to find a quiet place for a short retreat, it would be a rest in the dust.
"A male cultivator kissing a male cultivator, it's so romantic." Looking at Ye Chen's leaving figure, the people at the tea stall behind him all clicked their tongues, "I just can't figure out what two men can do together."
"What kind of man is kissing a man? That person is probably a woman disguised as a man." An old guy stroked his beard seriously, "Even the Northern Saint is a woman, there is nothing in this world that cannot be ignored."
"Not to mention Northern Saint, I forgot that she is actually a woman." Everyone looked away and grinned again, "This world is really full of wonders. Is it popular for women to dress up as men?"
It's so lively here, Ye Chen has already found a small garden here and spent a hundred Origin Stones to rent it.
After entering the small garden, he set up a hidden barrier to completely isolate it from the outside world. In addition to these, there were many mysterious protective circles to avoid being disturbed by the outside world during the retreat.
After doing this, he sat cross-legged under the old tree in the garden, closed his eyes slightly, and escaped into the sky.
There were thunderbolts tearing apart on his body, and the divine scourge was destroying him. Although it was fierce, it was forcibly suppressed. The scourge was offset a lot, and it would not really endanger his life.
He sat there for three days, like an old monk sitting in meditation, without moving at all.
It wasn't until the night of the fourth day that he opened his eyes slightly, and two rays of light that seemed to be like substance shot out, bright and sharp, piercing through the void space, with a kind of kingly power.
At this point, he crushed the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Technique passed down to him by the Demonic Cauldron Spirit and studied it calmly.
It is a huge artistic conception. From the beginning of the demonic power created by engulfing the demon king to the perfection of the demonic power, it is all explained clearly and clearly, which is far beyond what Taixu Ancient Dragon can compare with.
His mind completely escaped, and among the falling leaves, his eyebrows sometimes wrinkled, sometimes relaxed, sometimes looked puzzled, sometimes smiled, and found opportunities in epiphany.
Mysterious magical powers are also Tao, as vast as the sea, as broad and profound as they are demonic arts, but they are more like immortal arts. The Devouring Heaven Demon Lord has found a new way to evolve this immortal arts to the extreme since its inception.
At some point, Ye Chen suddenly realized that the so-called Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique was not about swallowing the heaven and earth, but about swallowing oneself. It was not about swallowing other things, but about swallowing one's own body. This was one of its essences.
Nine days later, Ye Chen opened his eyes again, and he suddenly had an enlightenment, which revealed many of the true meanings of this method.
With the breeze blowing gently, he slowly raised his hands, and the sky-swallowing vortex appeared on the palms of his left and right hands.
He put his hands together, and the two sky-swallowing whirlpools merged together, swallowing the essence of the left and the right, and swallowing the true energy of the left. What he swallowed was his own power, and the power he swallowed was returned to himself.
During the engulfment and return, an indescribable cycle was formed in his holy body, and in the cycle, another power was subtly perfected: reincarnation.
"That's it." Ye Chen smiled, with the light of enlightenment shining in his eyes, "Swallowing the heaven and earth on the outside and circulating reincarnation on the inside, this is the true meaning of swallowing the sky. The demonic skill of swallowing the sky is indeed a heaven-swallowing creation."
"Thank you for the gift, senior." Ye Chen looked at his hands with a smile, his mood sublimating again.
This magic skill allowed him to see another world, the reincarnation of heaven and earth, and why all things follow some kind of reincarnation, Yin and Yang, Qian and Kun, cause and effect, life and death, right and wrong.
No matter real or illusory, there are rules, and two opposite things cannot escape reincarnation.
After truly understanding the true meaning of this method, he understood why the Red Lotus Empress dispersed the five small devil cauldrons in the heavens in the past. She also followed the cycle, which was the reincarnation of going and returning.
The empress must also be familiar with the Devouring Demon Technique and know its true meaning, so she uses this method to strengthen the imperial immortal arts in the hope of resurrecting the dead Devouring Demon Lord. This is an act that goes against heaven.
Now, the return of the Little Devil Cauldron can be regarded as the completion of a reincarnation. It has indeed given the Sky-Swallowing Demon Group hope of resurrection. However, the years of this reincarnation have taken too long, and it has been so long that even the female emperor has not waited. The regret of reincarnation is that time is ruthless.
