Become a fairy alone

Only in the Immortal Realm has the alchemy tradition been passed down in an orderly manner, with a constant stream of alchemy talents. In addition to normal healing and cultivation needs, elixirs have developed into many other aspects.

They even developed various celestial wines based on elixirs, whose effects were no less than those of ordinary elixirs.

Lu Xiaotian's Five-Tone Immortal Bamboo Brew has a significant effect on many immortals' cultivation techniques or enhancing their immortal bodies. However, for Du Fenghu and Zi Xuanshuang, it is mostly just a matter of tasting it. At the same time, after drinking the immortal brew, the mysterious immortal sounds resonate in their bodies, which can bring a unique experience to their primordial spirit.

Chen Yang and Du Fenghu talked for a long time, from their fight at the Marquis's mansion left by Cao Xier's father to their many experiences afterward.

When it came to entering the Demon Realm, Du Fenghu's face was initially cheerful, but later it turned painful, and he was unwilling to continue the conversation. Although he had avenged his great enemy, the dead could not return.

Du Fenghu's skeletal body looked empty, as if it had lost its soul, leaving only a shell.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have already risen to the rank of Heavenly Dragon, one of the strongest in the entire realm. Do you know that there is cause and effect and reincarnation in this world?" Du Fenghu looked at Lu Xiaotian with a hint of expectation.

"Life and death cycle, cause and effect reincarnation? I don't know, maybe it exists." Lu Xiaotian was stunned for a moment.

He had similar doubts, which he had since he met Hongyue, and this was not an isolated case.

Lu Xiaotian was always preoccupied with the situation and had no time to delve into its intricacies. However, the powerful emperors were said to be able to coexist with heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon. For those lower-level beings, they could be considered immortal. But when a calamity of heaven and earth breaks out, who can truly achieve immortality?

Even the once-powerful Supreme Heavenly Dragon has long since passed away, and it was inevitable that the Ancient Demon Emperor would fall to the Earthly Emperor realm. Whether he can save his life depends on his own luck.

"Speaking of which, I also encountered two acquaintances of Fellow Daoist Lu in the Demon Realm. Their situation may not be good. They were forced into Bone Flame Mountain by the powerful under Yin Bone Ancestral Demon. My strength is weak. Not to mention Yin Bone Ancestral Demon, even the powerful under his command are no match for him."

"The enemy still has an endless army of demons. I can't even reach the edge of Bone Flame Mountain, let alone find anyone inside. With Fellow Daoist Lu's current cultivation level, doing this would be a piece of cake," Du Fenghu said.

"Who is this acquaintance?" Lu Xiaotian asked.

"One is Cao Xier, who should have become a ghost. I don't know how she ended up in the Demon Realm. Accompanying her is another person who also has some connection with you. She is Qing Li, a disciple of your junior brother Luo, who calls you senior uncle."

The two women met. Qingli's cultivation was higher, roughly equivalent to mine. Cao Xier's cultivation was weaker, but she had some good fortune and obtained a Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade. I don't know how she refined it into her body, but when she unleashed it, her combat power could barely reach the level of the Primordial Spirit Ghost Body.

However, this thing has many potential problems. With your abilities, Fellow Daoist Lu, you might be able to resolve them. If you had arrived any later, you probably would have been able to save Cao Xier but only collect her corpse.

"Cao Xier has fallen into the ghost path? Qing Li?" Lu Xiaotian was full of surprise. Back then, he fought a great battle with Du Fenghu in the Marquis's mansion left by Cao Xier's father, and he also saved Cao Xier in the chaos of the battle.

However, Cao Xier's aptitude was relatively ordinary. Although Lu Xiaotian later gave her some pointers, he did not actually take her as his disciple.

Aside from Chi Lin, who was unable to embark on the path of immortality in the early stages, Lu Xiaotian's disciples were mainly Xiang Hua and Yu Xiaoqiao, who came later in life.

In Lu Xiaotian's view, with Cao Xier's aptitude, it would be difficult for her to go very far on the path of cultivation. Even entering a higher-level plane like the Spirit Realm from the Crimson Abyss Continent would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. She should have perished long ago, and he had indeed forgotten about her later.

Unexpectedly, Cao Xier had another opportunity to enter the Ghost Path and even cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which was truly beyond expectation.

The approximate location of the Ancient Demon Emperor has been determined. The injuries in the emperor's body will not heal for a while, and the occasional leaks of his aura are like a guiding light for Lu Xiaotian.

As for whether to take action immediately, there are advantages and disadvantages for Lu Xiaotian. On the one hand, the Ancient Demon Emperor has escaped back to his lair, giving the other party a little more time, which is definitely not enough time to heal.

In the battle in the desolate sea, the opponent's Boundless Demon Blade dissipated into nothingness. He was injured by the sword intent that had fused with many laws and mysteries, and his primordial spirit was also seriously injured. It was impossible to heal him in a short time. He even suppressed his injuries and fled all the way back to the Demon Realm, and his condition will worsen for a certain period of time.

The only concern is that the enemy's lair might be similar to the Netherworld Abyss, possessing not only formidable defenses built up over countless years but also an extremely elite demonic army. Their combat strength far surpasses that of ordinary demon lord-level guards.

After he made careful preparations, it wouldn't be so easy for Lu Xiaotian to defeat him again. After all, the Ancient Demon Emperor was only injured, and his combat power was still not to be underestimated.

On the positive side, the Ancient Demon Emperor suffered a crushing defeat in the Desolate Sea, with his army almost completely wiped out. The news would spread throughout the entire Demon Realm without Lu Xiaotian even needing to make a fuss.

The Ancient Demon Emperor suffered repeated setbacks at his hands, and his current predicament of fleeing back to the Demon Realm to save his life is undoubtedly devastating to his reputation.

Let things continue to unfold for a while. As the demonic realms under his command break away and the ancient demon emperor's fortune is further diminished, even his core stronghold will inevitably be affected. As for the extent of the impact, we'll have to wait and see.

In short, just as Lu Xiaotian can find time to drink with Du Fenghu now, rescuing Cao Xier and Qingli shouldn't be a problem, and it won't even take long.

"I'll take Fellow Daoist Lu to Boneflame Mountain," Du Fenghu said, gulping down a mouthful of wine.

"No need, just tell me which direction it is." Lu Xiaotian didn't want to drag Du Fenghu into the vortex of this great battle.

Qing Li or Cao Xi'er had no choice; they were targeted by the so-called Yin Bone Ancestral Demon and had to be taken away. However, what he was about to do was extremely dangerous. With Du Fenghu and Zi Xuanshuang's cultivation levels, even the slightest impact would result in their death. Lu Xiaotian was unwilling to let them get too deeply involved.

"Well, with my meager cultivation, it's difficult for me to help Fellow Daoist Lu any further. It's good enough if I don't become a burden." Du Fenghu smiled helplessly.

"Friendship transcends cultivation levels. Perhaps one day, when Fellow Daoist Du's opportunity arrives, I will also have a chance to rely on you. I originally wanted to continue drinking with Fellow Daoist Du, but I'm afraid Qing Li and Cao Xi'er can't wait. Fellow Daoist Du, and this Fellow Daoist Zi, we'll meet again someday." Lu Xiaotian cupped his hands and said to Du Fenghu.

"Until we meet again, Dragon Lord." Zi Xuan Shuang was taken aback by Lu Xiaotian addressing her as a fellow Daoist, and quickly returned the greeting with a cupped-fist salute. "Du Fengzi, you actually know the Lord of the Dragon Domain? I've never heard you mention him before. It seems you two have a pretty good relationship."

"You're so stupid. You should have mentioned it to him earlier. Go to the Dragon Domain with him. Didn't you offend the Demon Lord Jiuyang? You only managed to find peace here after fleeing all the way, but that's not a long-term solution. Instead of hiding like this, you might as well go with him." Zi Xuanshuang kept nagging from the side.

Today's events truly broadened her horizons. That was the Lord of the Dragon Realm, an existence comparable to the Heavenly Emperor. His achievements from his rise to fame to the present are a legend that other beings can hardly match.

Yet the other party was able to sit down and chat with Du Fenghu calmly. In the strictly hierarchical Demon Realm, this was undoubtedly an eye-opener for Zi Xuanshuang.

"He's got a lot of trouble on his hands right now, so I won't add to his problems. Getting him to stop and have a drink with me is already a huge favor. Fellow Daoist Lu is still the same as before, he hasn't changed."

Du Fenghu smiled upon hearing this. His inner turmoil remained unresolved, but after drinking with Lu Xiaotian, he felt much more relaxed.

"Was he really at the same level as you before?" Although Zi Xuan Shuang had heard a lot about the two of them in the past, she still felt a sense of fantasy when she thought about it now.

“Strictly speaking, when we first met, his cultivation level was lower than mine, but his magic weapon was extremely powerful, and his combat strength was slightly stronger than mine. That was the closest I ever came to him. Later, the gap widened more and more. No one could have imagined that he would grow to such an amazing level.”

Du Fenghu was quite emotional when he spoke of it. As for himself, it was quite amazing that he had been able to go from a mere Golden Core stage cultivator to where he is now.

Let alone in the former Crimson Abyss Continent, it would be unimaginable even in the Spirit Realm. After learning about the current situation of Xiang Kuang, Xiang Qingcheng and other old acquaintances from Lu Xiaotian, Du Fenghu felt that their group had experienced a major breakthrough.

"It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The words of the ancients are truly insightful. It would have been difficult for any of you to have such good fortune. You probably benefited from the Dragon Lord's influence, and your luck was affected by him." Zi Xuan Shuang sighed.

Du Fenghu glanced at the other party. Although Zi Xuanshuang's words were unpleasant, upon closer examination, they seemed to contain a bit of twisted logic: those who achieve great things throughout history are always accompanied by great fortune.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near ink gets stained black, and one who stays near vermilion gets stained red." These people had some dealings with Lu Xiaotian, and naturally some of them were unlucky enough to perish. However, it is unimaginable that so many of them could advance to the primordial spirit body.

"This place is no longer suitable for us to stay. Let's leave quickly," Du Fenghu said.

"Where to?" Zi Xuanshuang asked.

"Return to the battlefield between immortals and demons!" Du Fenghu's tone was full of determination.

He had originally tried every means to escape the Immortal-Demon Battlefield, and finally broke free from his cage, only to encounter the greatest pain of his life. Now, all he wanted was to return to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and have a good time. What he needed was to vent his anger, not to be sheltered under Lu Xiaotian's protection.

*Puff puff puff.* A dozen or so firefly-like points of light flickered in the void. A pale-faced woman in green robes reached out and beckoned, and thirteen flickering points of light flew into her hand in succession.

The six blue flame bone demons that had just attacked them each had a small hole in their foreheads. After being severely injured, they lost power and fell onto the rugged and bare Gobi Desert.

A cold wind howled all around, stirring up sand and dust. Wisps of fire occasionally drifted by, and one of the distant wisps of fire seemed to be disturbed by the killing intent from before, and twisted unnaturally.

Suddenly, a white phoenix phantom sprang from the body of another woman with a withered face, pecking at the flame from afar. A small hole was pecked in the flame, from which a scream rang out, and the flame dissipated.

The woman, with a withered face and a ghostly appearance, said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Qingli, if this continues, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave. Let's split up and escape; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope."

"You think I still have a sliver of hope, but you yourself are doomed. Don't be silly. We're trapped in this Bone Flame Mountain. They've already activated a grand formation to trap the entire mountain area. You can't escape, and neither can I." Qing Li pouted.

"What should we do then? Are we all going to perish here?" Cao Xier said anxiously. "It's all my fault for being so eager for the treasure; otherwise, we would never have ended up like this."

"There's no point in saying these things now. You only swallowed the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade after asking for my permission. Their formation isn't omnipotent either. Let's continue playing hide-and-seek with them inside. As long as we don't let them surround us, I don't believe this formation can last forever."

Qingli snorted coldly. Although she said that, she was extremely pessimistic. However, it was true that separating from Cao Xier might not necessarily allow her to escape.

"Alright, they've already fought here, let's hurry up and leave." Cao Xi'er sighed.

Since she unexpectedly met Qingli, whose cultivation level was higher and who always put her first, it would be very difficult to persuade Qingli at this time. Moreover, even if they separated now, it would be difficult to truly turn the danger into safety.

The two quickly left the area, and in no time, dozens of bone figures appeared at the spot where the fight had just taken place.

"They haven't gone far, pursue them!" The leader of the Bone Demons spoke with murderous intent, following the faint fluctuations of the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade. However, after tracking for several hundred miles, a viscous aura suddenly appeared around him, which turned out to be a faint, flickering light.

"Hidden Flames in the Mist, how dare you!" The leader of the bone demons was furious. Just as he was about to make a move, the surrounding flames danced like butterflies, and thousands upon thousands of pale blue butterflies fluttered and danced, seemingly incredibly light as they approached the group of bone demons. With each flap of their wings, countless butterfly dusts were scattered down.

"Do you think that if we're trapped, we can only run away?" Qing Li appeared outside the swarm of butterflies, her face full of smiles as she looked at the dozens of bone demons inside who were already in a state of chaos.

"You are already surrounded. If you know what's good for you, surrender now and hand over the treasures to avoid death. If you continue to resist, be careful, or you will suffer a fate worse than death," the leader of the bone demons said coldly.

"At worst, I'll just end it all myself. My master never scared me before, do you think I'm easily frightened? Whether Xi'er and I live or die is a matter for later, you two won't live now."

Qing Li curled her lip, completely unconcerned by the threat. She stretched out her hand, and a Butterfly Shadow Thousand Nether Banner appeared. With a gentle wave, a dozen butterfly shadows flew out and disappeared into the swarm. They appeared inconspicuous, but under the cover of the butterflies, they quietly approached the bone demons, infiltrating their outer defenses. By the time the bone demons noticed, it was too late.
