Wearing a white gauze with long silver hair that is as bright as a galaxy, it is so familiar. It's like the daylight hanging high in the sky has come down to earth, its dazzling golden light making it impossible to look directly at it.
Jiang Yi felt a familiar aura and terrifying divine power.
Besides His Majesty, who else can use this kind of divine power
The previous ten-foot-tall monster was called the Brahma Silver Liger. It had existed in the Guyun Forest for thousands of years and was a human-like monster that had experienced several wars between demons and evil spirits. But it is obvious that even this kind of monster leader was contaminated by the Pond of Life and Death. While he was forced to receive the gift of the Demon Emperor of Life and Death, he also lost his mind.
After dealing with hundreds of large and small demonic beasts, as well as a group of black-robed demon cultivators, Jiang Yi already felt weak, and there was no doubt that she would have to fight another hard battle against the Brahma Silver Liger.
But Her Majesty the Empress... still destroyed the menacing monster leader with one blow.
"Your Majesty, you are not in the Western Desert..."
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"Let's leave this aside for now."
The temple empress tapped her toes in the void, and her delicate body slowly fell down.
Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment. She saw that Her Majesty's pupils were blood-red. Although she was calm and calm, she could not hide the faint anxiety in her eyes.
"Master Jiang... Where are the Holy Son and Tianqinxing?"
The Temple Empress said calmly.
Jiang Yi was slightly startled.
She still knew about the Holy Son, but Tianqinxing...she was confused.
"Back to Your Majesty, that day the bird star... I haven't found it yet. And the Holy Son fell into the pool of life and death and disappeared."
"And after that, the space changed, the pond of life and death withered, and monsters and cultivators arose... until it has been delayed until now."
She did not take the initiative to tell Yue'er unless the Temple Empress asked in person.
After Ye An fell into the pond of life and death, some mechanism seemed to be triggered, and the space was split, instantly separating her from Yue'er.
The Temple Empress listened quietly, her eyes slightly lowered.
She was silent for a moment and said, "Any other discoveries?"
Jiang Yi said: "I have a guess."
"Your Majesty, I have found a bit of the divine power of heaven in the Pond of Life and Death before. I don't know if it is a coincidence or a misjudgment..."
"However, when the Holy Son was swallowed by the Pond of Life and Death, my subordinates discovered a wisp of space fluctuations that connected to the Western Desert."
The Temple Empress nodded slightly and said, "Do you doubt that the Pond of Life and Death transported the Holy Son to the Western Desert?"
Jiang Yi hesitated for a moment, not fully confirming.
"I don't know..."
"If that's the case, Your Majesty... you should be able to detect the presence of the Holy Son in the Western Desert."
"Moreover, not every space fluctuation is related to the teleportation array. Even if it is a teleportation array, it does not mean it is the Holy Son."
She had many speculations in her heart and doubted the possibility of what the Temple Empress said.
However, there were too many guesses and conclusions, which were a bit messy, and even she herself was confused.
The Temple Empress' pupils were bloodshot, cold and indifferent. She sighed heavily, "That's all, don't think so much."
"I need to spend some time to clear out the nearby demonic cultivators. Palace Master Jiang, you... look for the trace of spatial connection."
As the master of the Sifang Palace, everyone has something they are good at. For example, the Master of the North Temple pursues the ultimate in swordsmanship, the Master of the Dongyue Temple is adept at making alchemy in the cauldron, and the Master of the Nanlin Temple, Jiang Yi, is proficient in space perception.
Of course, the Temple Empress can also know the fluctuations in space, but she still has to eliminate the root causes.
"clear."
Jiang Yi nodded slightly.
…
…
Wow!
Desert, oasis, a splash of water.
The cool water of the lake is refreshing and dissipates the heat.
Qi Xi jumped into the lake, forgetting to even take off his light white gauze, and immersed themselves in the lake together.
Moistened by the lake water, the white gauze clung tightly to her graceful and exquisite body, and the fair and delicate skin underneath was clearly visible.
Her delicate and beautiful face couldn't help but show a touch of comfort, and she no longer always had a calm and calm expression.
"Gululu..."
She dived under the lake water, blowing bubbles and feeling refreshed.
"Ye An, how did you find this lake?"
She breathed a long sigh of relief, her voice a little floaty.
"Fate is so wonderful. Who said I am the son of luck?"
Ye An sat next to the lake and coaxed and deceived him, "With just a few fingers, I can guess which direction the desert lake is."
Qi Xi: "...you know how to hide little secrets."
There were question marks all over her face, and she clearly didn't believe in the child of destiny.
Ye An was stunned for a moment, "How come you don't believe it anymore?"
Qi Xi rolled his eyes at him and snorted coldly, "I believe it."
In fact, this is just Ye An's guess. A mirage is equivalent to a reflection, which means that there is at least a desert oasis in this desert.
The first premise is that the oasis will not be too far away.
The second premise is that there will be life in the realm of death.
The third premise is that the Demon Emperor of Life and Death must be scientific... After all, the realm of death is a small world belonging to the Demon Emperor, and Newton and other scientific giants cannot control it.
However, it should be said that he has a good face, or that the Demon Emperor of Life and Death is really scientific, so he happened to be allowed to sneak through and find this desert oasis.
In this way, little Qixi can also rest for a while. Otherwise, too much water will come out... If it is over moistened, you will suffer from heatstroke.
"Speaking of which, little Qixi, when did you fall into the pool of life and death?"
Ye An asked: "Have I been unconscious for a long time?"
Qi Xi nodded and said calmly: "I don't know how many days... I actually forgot that it's very difficult to drag you around late at night."
"To be honest, if you don't wake up, I was going to throw you away to feed the demon cultivators."
Ye An: "?? How can you let it go? If this is the case, what will happen to your lower body... and your happy life for the rest of your life?"
Qi Xi: “…”
She pursed her lips slightly before saying, "So it's not that I didn't throw it away. I'll wait until you wake up."
There was a familiar coquettish tone, but it was unexpectedly inconsistent and unskilled.
I guess she felt guilty.
Ye An sighed and said: "When we go out, I will sleep with you next time we share the same bed to relieve my anger."
“…”
Qi Xi's expression was calm and his face was not red at all.
She just trembled slightly for a moment and said, "Don't say these words, it's a bit disgusting."
Ye An: "..."
This is not the level of meatiness or numbness.
And when did you become so calm
These two sentiments seemed to be heard by Qi Xi.
Qi Xi's face was covered with black lines. He sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Why don't you come down and relieve the fever? Wash yourself a little and at least drink some water. Maybe we won't find another oasis in the future."
Ye An was silent for a moment and then said, "Do you want to drink your bath water?"
Qi Xi: “…”
The side of her face twitched, and the look of helplessness on her face became even more intense.
But at the same time, there was a rare blush on her cheeks.
"You go over there."
She pointed to the other side of the lake and said, "Or wouldn't it be possible to use some spiritual power to remove the impurities in the water?"
Ye An clapped his hands and suddenly realized, "Yeah."
"Yeah...?"
Qi Xi couldn't help but feel helpless, "I don't know whether I should call you a fool or a pervert? I...I just saw your true face clearly today."
Ye An smiled happily, as if he saw her temper coming back, and simply continued teasing: "You just saw it clearly? What a pity, I wanted to say that there is such a good thing... "
"'That kind of good thing'...what kind of good thing do you mean?"
"Bath water."
Wow!
A handful of sand, a splash of water, and pieces of gravel all flew into Ye An's face.
Qi Xi's arrogant golden eyes were terrifyingly indifferent, and his eyes seemed to be examining the sinner.
"The crime of disrespect...should be executed!"
…
…
"How long have you been talking about us? You are not Her Majesty the Empress. You are still talking about these words of 'atonement' and 'disrespect'."
"If your master hears it, she won't be angry. She won't come here from Zhongzhou to beat us."
Ye An rubbed Qi Xi's shoulders.
The two of them soaked in the oasis lake together, enjoying the brief coolness and comfort.
If he were not in danger at this moment, he would only be able to rest briefly. Otherwise, with this ambiguous scene, it would be difficult not to misfire.
The setting sun dyes the sea of sand into blood.
The rays of sunlight hit the side of Qi Xi's face. She turned her back to Ye An, and her mysterious golden pupils were filled with moisture.
"It's quite whimsical...don't worry, she won't be angry."
Qi Xi said seriously, "You just need to listen to me quietly and don't be naughty."
Ye An was stunned for a moment, and even stopped rubbing his shoulders for a moment.
"Huh? Who told you to stop? Move quickly."
Qi Xi shrugged and said coldly.
Ye An continued to rub his shoulders, "I suddenly felt that you had become rigid."
"Is there any?"
"Not only that, I also noticed that your pulse is abnormal."
"...How did you rub your shoulders to check your pulse? Just tell me what's wrong."
"Your pulse...is called a stupid pulse. It can't be delayed any longer. Do you know if you need an infusion?"
"...What, what liquid?"
"Thinking of you all night."
“…”
She raised her head slightly, hummed a few times, and while enjoying the pleasant feeling of rubbing her shoulders, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Why are you so stupid?"
A sentence from her inner soul.
Ye An laughed awkwardly.
Sure enough, the modern memes about Blue Star in the previous life are of no use to people outside of Planet Earth.
But it's still really embarrassing... absolutely.
compared with him.
Qi Xi, with seriousness written all over his face, said calmly: "It's getting dark. If we rest for a while, we will spend the night. Be prepared."
Ye An asked: "What can I do to prepare?"
Qi Xi yawned, "The demon cultivators are all dead, similar to the puppets made by the Crescent Sect."
"As long as you hide your aura and cover your body, they won't find anyone alive."
"At the same time, the demon cultivators will not attack their accomplices."
Ye An hesitated for a moment, "Are you talking about... the art of concealment? But little Qixi, there is no spiritual energy here, and the concealment technique consumes a lot of spiritual energy."
Qi Xi shook his head, "The emphasis is on the last sentence."
"Accomplice? I'm not a demon cultivator..."
Ye An retorted.
He was still frightened when he thought about what Jiang Yi said about the price of being a 'devil cultivator'.
When he fell into the pool of life and death, he choked on the water and inevitably drank some.
Maybe it will be a time bomb in the future.
Qi Xi sighed, "You are really stupid. I thought you were very smart, but in the end... huh, did you do it on purpose?"
Ye An immediately refused, "Why do you curse people every day?"
Qi Xi didn't seem to hear it, and his red lips slightly opened, "With regard to your proficiency in the power of the stars... you should be already familiar with it, right? Even the original Sifang Palace Master in the Crescent Sect is probably not as skilled as you."
"Using the power of the stars to transform evil energy, just a little breath is enough for us."
"It's enough to deceive the demon cultivators into thinking we are accomplices."
While suppressing spiritual power, using evil energy as a cover, even if it is just a little bit, in the eyes of the demon cultivators, they are one of their own.
After all, they are not big figures like the Evil Lord or the Demon Emperor, so the little soldiers can still handle them.
But Ye An complained, "How come you know everything about me? I thought I could hide the power of the stars from you."
“…”
Ye An withdrew his hand and stopped rubbing her shoulders. "There is a big problem with the power of the stars. I wonder if the small world has cut off the connection with the Jianmu Tree... Forget it, let's give it a try."
Qi Xi said softly: "Don't worry, the connection with Jianmu is special. Even if the space is isolated, the connection still exists."
Ye An was stunned for a moment.
He stretched his muscles, stepped ashore, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The spiritual energy in the body circulates slowly, and only a wisp of spiritual energy is drawn out to condense the power of the stars.
Sizzling…
Wisps of black mist dispersed, and a black mark gathered on his arm.
A familiar breath came into my heart.
If it is true as Qi Xi said, even if he is isolated from the outside world in the realm of death, the connection between the Jianmu Tree will always exist.
After suppressing the spiritual energy in his body, with just this black mark, he really looked like an evil clan.
"It does work."
Ye An couldn't help but be surprised, "Your Majesty is still Your Majesty, awesome."
Qi Xi looked calm and closed his eyes. Although he was speechless, he was obviously a little proud after being praised.
"I'll give you one too, and you should be able to get through tonight."
Ye An said: "Don't take a bath now, come up."
"Um."
Qi Xi nodded slightly and was about to get up and go ashore.
Suddenly, the water trembled.
Gulu gulu…
"Wait, don't move."
Ye An said suddenly.
A strange noise suddenly came from the center of the lake.
Both of them were startled by the strange noise and looked toward the center of the lake.
The water splashing on the calm lake gradually became more and more intense, as if something was gushing out of it.
At this moment, the dusk and sunset have ended, and only the last ray of light is left to cast on the earth. After a while, night will fall. At this point in time, there must be no surprises.
Could it be that some monster is about to emerge from under the lake
But fortunately…
When the dark stone tablet emerged from the center of the lake, both of them couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Stone tablet?"
Ye An stepped into the lake again and stepped forward cautiously.
The stone tablet in the lake is just a very simple mechanism.
It was actually the content of the written text that caught their attention.
The upper part of the stele is carved with a Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram. But what is surprising is that there is a small black spot in the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram.
In the lower part, there is a line of text about the coexistence of life and death.
"Life and death?"
"The Demon Emperor locked us up here just to teach us these philosophical principles... The old Mr. Demon Emperor has a serious intention."
Ye An's temporarily tense heart relaxed and he couldn't help but complain.
However, Qixi remained serious.
"No, no..."
"Life and death coexist..."
But he saw that Qi Xi was very excited, and his golden eyes were full of disbelief, "This is the trial illusion that is the inheritance gift of the Demon Emperor of Life and Death!"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, "What?"
Qi Xi immediately touched the Tai Chi Yin and Yang diagram on the stone tablet, stared at it for a long time, and then said with certainty:
"This black spot is where we are now."
"And this place is the direction we ultimately want to go. That's where there is a glimmer of hope."
"No wonder, no wonder why there are so many demon cultivators in the Realm of Death. It is not necessary. But if you think about it carefully, they may all be trialists who have accepted the inheritance of the gift of life and death. Who can find a way to survive in the Realm of Death? How can the demon cultivators That’s the most important thing for us!”
Ye An's face was full of doubts.
"If that's the case, how come we two humans were dragged in?"
