She is Jianxiu

The man below the abyss did not speak, but simply opened his dantian and forcefully swallowed the profound light into it.

Looking at him now, one can see that from the waist down, he has completely merged with that chaotic form, with only his upper body retaining a human shape. However, his facial features are shrouded in a layer of murky mist, causing his eyebrows and eyes to change slightly, making it somewhat androgynous.

Cheng Xueying and the others, being outside the Divine Abyss, naturally became suspicious and puzzled by Huan Yuan's words.

He then focused his attention on his eyes, using his vision to penetrate thousands of miles, straight to the bottom of the divine abyss, only then did he realize what had happened.

Upon seeing this, Lü Shouyu trembled, his heart filled with dread, and he exclaimed softly, "Xiao Fu, it's you!"

Indeed, the person who has now appeared before everyone and swallowed the body of the Primordial Mother is none other than Xiao Fu, the patriarch of the Xiao clan, who has not shown his true form for many years. Lü and Su have known him for many years, which is why they were able to recognize his identity at a glance when his appearance had drastically changed.

Over the years, the Jinnan Xiao Clan has been making significant moves in the southern lands. As a result, Lü Shouyu and others believed that Xiao Fu's heart was in the southern lands and that he might be going to compete with Shi Rucheng. Little did they know that the other party would destroy his own cultivation and merge with the divine body of Yuanxia!
Thus, we must now discuss the origins of the primordial deities.

Long before the distinction between purity and turbidity, when heaven and earth were in a state of chaos, the first being born from the interaction of the two energies was named Heng, whom the divine court called the Primordial Mother. From then on, all the innate deities that appeared in this world were actually transformations of various parts of the Primordial Mother's body. Whenever a part of an organ or limb gave birth to a being, it was given a corresponding duty, and thus mountains, rivers, land, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning appeared in the world.

When the immortals attacked the gods, all the fallen deities did not die; they simply returned to the body of the Primordial Mother. Only then did the Daoist cultivators understand that because the Primordial Mother was a product of heaven and earth, she could not be truly eradicated by external forces. To completely suppress the Primordial Mother and prevent the restoration of the Divine Court, the only option was to reconstruct this realm using Daoist methods and establish a new order. The Three Thousand Worlds originated from this.

Huan Yuan's body was originally a fragment of the little finger of the Primordial Mother. What he wants now is nothing more than to reclaim the Primordial Mother's body to strengthen himself, thereby controlling the source of the realm and achieving the position of the master of the realm.

Therefore, Xiao Fu's actions were not simply about competing with him for the body of the Primordial Mother. Judging from the intentions he has shown today, he intends to abandon his Daoist body and enter the body of the Primordial Mother, and then replenish his previously damaged body by devouring the Universe.

Lu Shouyu felt a chill in her heart. Suddenly, she shifted her gaze and caught sight of several human figures within the chaotic image. She blinked, her breathing becoming labored. After a moment's thought, she was filled with horrified horror.

Beside her, Cheng Xueying and Su Zhaotang also noticed that spot, and for a moment, a chill ran down their spines.

Inside the Yuanmu's body, several corpses with different appearances were completely lifeless. Judging from their identities, they were none other than the patriarchs of the six aristocratic families: Jiang Ji, Zhou Chaonian, and others. No wonder that when Huanyuan made his move earlier, only Lü Shouyu and Su Zhaotang arrived. Now it was clear they had fallen victim to Xiao Fu's treachery!
Compared to outsiders, these people are genuine Origin Realm cultivators. Any one of them could be said to have a cultivation level that is heaven-reaching and earth-shattering. How could Xiao Fu possibly deal with them with his strength alone?

Lu Shouyu's eyes darted around, his thoughts fixed on the body of the Yuan Mother, thinking to himself, "I wonder if Shi Rucheng knows about Xiao Fu's plot. But if Jiang Ji and the others die, it'll probably play right into that old fox's hands..."

Xiao Fu, or perhaps the human form that had merged and coexisted with the chaotic entity after swallowing the Primordial Mother, probably didn't even realize that after taking this step, he could no longer be called a member of the Daoist sect.

Whether he swallowed Yuanmu or Yuanmu was swallowing him, it's hard to say for sure right now.

All they knew was that both of them viewed the Huan Yuan as a missing piece that needed to be filled, and that only by swallowing it back could they find a new path.

Therefore, suddenly, countless turbid energies emerged from Xiao Fu's dantian, resembling both numerous invisible hands and clearly defined iron chains, rapidly binding Huan Yuan's body!

The latter frowned, immediately realizing that he must not let this thing touch him. Otherwise, given the connection between Yuanmu and him, once he was bound by this aura, it would be difficult to break free.

Huan Yuan's form changed, and in an instant, he dispersed into countless streams of pure and impure energy, merging into the heavens and earth and shifting thousands of miles.

However, he did not expect that after Xiao Fu swallowed the Yuanmu, these methods derived from the Yuanmu would be somewhat ineffective in front of him.

Huan Yuan fled in disarray, intending to confuse Xiao Fu and avoid being bound by him. However, after his body was separated, Xiao Fu seized the opportunity, forcefully inhaling from his dantian and swallowing everything whole.

In that single breath, Huan Yuan realized that one-tenth to one-twelfth of his vital essence had already fallen into Xiao Fu's hands. If this continued, until most of his body was destroyed, he would completely become nourishment for Xiao Fu's Devouring of the Primordial Mother. Huan Yuan cursed Xiao Fu's despicable act and had no choice but to recall his vital essence to condense his body. Only then did he feel a force on his left arm. It turned out that Xiao Fu's aura had attached itself to it, penetrating his flesh like a bone-deep infection!

He was thus bound, and his heart jumped in alarm. He hurriedly tried to give up his arm to avoid being dragged down into the abyss by Xiao Fu, but before he knew it, his body was unable to move!
Just then, a loud laugh rang out from under the sky. The newcomer had white hair and beard, but his face was quite vigorous. His deep black eyes were fixed on the front, and although he was looking at Huan Yuan, his words carried a different meaning. He said, "Brother Xiao, how can such an opportunity be monopolized? Why don't you let your elder brother share a piece of the pie?"

Suddenly, he lowered his brows, chuckled softly, and then spoke to the other side, "Sect Leader Feng, now that things have come to this, why not show yourself and have a chat?"

The person directly opposite him, who appeared to be a refined and handsome Taoist, said with a smile, “Since Sect Leader Shi personally invited me, how could I dare to refuse?”

The two exchanged a glance, completely disregarding Huan Yuan. They merely gave him a fleeting look and said, "I am determined to have this man. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them all, lest you regret it later."

Feng Shi burst into laughter, tilting his head back at the person in front of him and saying, "Sect Leader Shi, you have quite the spirit, but the world is so vast, you alone may not be able to withstand it!"

Having said that, he reached out and tried to grab Huan Yuan, but Shi Rucheng, seeing this, immediately sneered and shouted, "Hong Can, why aren't you opening the cauldron yet!"

rumble!

rumble!

As the words fell, a muffled sound rose from the sea, as if from the depths of the earth, growing stronger and louder!
Suddenly, bang!
Then they saw that most of the East China Sea seemed to have exploded, revealing a whirlpool of white waves. A large cauldron broke through the waves, lifting half of its body out of the water. Inside, however, it was dark and murky, a scene that was hard to fathom.

Feng Shi's eyes flickered, a sharp glint flashing across them. He increased the force in his hand, pointing at Huan Yuan's body with his fingers, and cleaved open that piece of heaven and earth, grasping it in his palm.

Shi Rucheng narrowed his eyes, but while smiling at him, he slapped his palm against the cauldron. The force touched the cauldron and immediately produced a metallic sound. The world that had been sealed and imprisoned was thus dispersed, allowing Huan Yuan's body to be freed.

The latter was greatly shocked by this treatment. How could he not see that the Taoist cultivators in this realm had probably already set their sights on him and were now just waiting for him to enter the realm and break into this inescapable trap!
What he didn't know was that Daoist cultivators, unlike those in the Divine Court, were not inherently bound by a shared destiny. Cultivating in the Three Thousand Worlds required constant struggle to break through shackles and attain immortality. The Daoist cultivation methods that evolved from this and have been passed down through generations are no longer simply about following the laws of heaven and earth or conforming to natural principles.

Huan Yuan's attempt to suppress these thousands of Daoist cultivators by controlling this world was a misguided move from the very beginning.

He was still unwilling to give up and naturally wanted to struggle. Shi Rucheng saw through his thoughts and immediately raised his hand to press down, which fixed his body. Then he curled his five fingers and was about to move him into the cauldron.

At this moment, he felt a strong resistance from within Huan Yuan's body. He thought it was because the person was unwilling, so he focused his mind to force it. However, he failed to move the person several times and then realized the trick.

Beneath the Zhenxu Divine Abyss, Xiao Fu's face was contorted with rage, yet he clung tightly to Huan Yuan's arm, refusing to let Shi Rucheng drag him into the cauldron. He had anticipated that Shi Rucheng and Feng Shi wouldn't give up easily, but the whereabouts of the Heaven and Earth Furnace left by the Ancestral Master remained unknown, and he didn't know which of the two had it in their hands. Now, seeing this, it was indeed stolen by Shi Rucheng. Otherwise, with this cauldron in hand, he wouldn't have needed to personally enter the game and devour the Primordial Mother's body.

Ultimately, the Heavenly Furnace was also forged from a divine body. Xiao Xianyun acted discreetly and naturally dared not use it all. He only took a part of his body to forge the main furnace, while the remaining furnaces scattered outside, devouring the source of various small worlds, were transformed from the main furnace. Since the Primordial Mother's body inherently possessed the ability to transform into forms, it was not surprising that the Heavenly Furnace possessed this extraordinary ability.

Little did anyone expect that after Shi Rucheng stole this item, he had kept it hidden beneath the East Sea. Now, he was using it to compete with him for Huan Yuan's body.

Xiao Fu refused to comply, preferring to open his mind and merge more closely with the Yuan Mother, so as to use the latter's power to snatch food from Shi Rucheng's tiger's mouth.

The two men each occupied a spot, and when they were distracted, they first suppressed Feng Shi, who was spying from the side. However, the latter gave Huan Yuan a deep look, then raised his arm and pointed upwards. A golden rainbow light instantly pierced the sky, so fast that even Shi Rucheng was stunned.

The golden rainbow slashed down from above, severing something unknown. At noon, the golden sun, which had been high above the cauldron, suddenly plummeted westward into the southern sky and sea. A cry tore through the clear sky, and brilliant golden feathers nearly blotted out the sun. In an instant, darkness descended, blurring the distinction between day and night! (End of Chapter)
