My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1368 Witness
The stone tablet of the Demon Sect's forbidden land collapsed, and the Ninth Heaven Steps appeared. As long as they stepped onto the Ninth Heaven Steps, they would be able to escape the constraints of this small world.

Zhou Xing and A Xue set foot on the nine-layer heavenly steps. Each layer of the heavenly steps corresponds to a love tribulation. They encountered various illusions along the way, including betrayal, separation, life and death... but they always hugged each other tightly and faced it together.

At the seventh level, Ah Xue revealed her true form. Her clam shell turned into a palace and swallowed up the pursuers. Zhou Xing took the opportunity to rewrite the sect's rules with a Confucian pen, giving them a glimmer of hope.

Finally, they arrived at the ninth level of thunder tribulation. Ah Xue knew that this was the final challenge. She used the blood contract of all demons to help Zhou Xing condense the Demon Sect's Supreme Seal, and then she shed her demon bones and turned into a mortal.

Zhou Xing looked at Axue, his heart full of emotion. He broke the gate of heaven with a sword, wanting to leave this world with Axue. However, the iron law of heaven still existed, and the man and the demon were finally separated by a golden light.

Axue left behind half a pearl earring, which was the testimony of their love. Zhou Xing looked at the earring and secretly vowed in his heart that he would find Axue.

A hundred years later, Zhou Xing became the head of the Haoqing Sect. He never forgot Axue and was always looking for a way to break the curse of "the difference between humans and demons".

By chance, Zhou Xing found the clam shell left by Axue in the forbidden area of ​​the sect. He opened the clam shell and found a jade slip of their nine reincarnation memories. Zhou Xing couldn't wait to read the information in the jade slip. Every time he read the memory of a lifetime, his body would become ten years younger.

When reading the ninth life, Zhou Xing finally understood that the real calamity was the "must love and hate each other" trap they set for themselves. It turned out that every reincarnation of theirs was a test for themselves, and only by breaking this trap could they truly be together.

Zhou Xing decided to reverse time and space and return to the cold pond where they first met. He used the magic sect's secret technique to activate the clam shell, and with a flash of light, he returned to that familiar place.

At this time, the young scholar was coughing up blood and fell down beside the cold pond. Zhou Xing watched this scene, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. At this time, a clam spirit with a pearl in its mouth floated up from the water. The clam spirit slowly approached the scholar, and a bloody pearl fell from its shell.

Zhou Xing smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "This time, I'll say 'I'll marry you' first." The clam spirit Axue raised her head, tears in her eyes, and smiled. From then on, they broke the curse of heaven and lived a happy life in this small world. And their disaster also came to a perfect end in this two-way love.

Zhou Xing only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and then a strong suction force pulled him into a strange world. When he steadied himself, he found himself standing on an ancient street surrounded by antique buildings. The pedestrians on the street were all dressed in ancient costumes, with different expressions.

Zhou Xing was full of doubts. At this moment, a strange memory flooded into his mind like a tide. It turned out that the world he was in was an ancient world where demons and ghosts were rampant. He was a demon catcher. He had learned the art of demon catching from his master since he was a child. He was also well-known in the Xuanmen.

Just as Zhou Xing was digesting these memories, a panicked cry suddenly came from not far away. He looked closely and saw a huge wolf demon chasing a girl on the street. The wolf demon was agile, with exposed fangs, and exuded a terrifying demonic aura. The girl being chased was slender and staggering, obviously exhausted.

Zhou Xing didn't have time to think about it. He immediately drew out the peach wood sword from his waist and rushed forward with a loud shout. He held the peach wood sword in his hand, chanted something, and performed the Xuanmen Demon-suppressing Technique. The peach wood sword flashed a faint light under the sunlight and stabbed at the wolf demon.

Seeing someone blocking its way, the wolf demon roared angrily and turned to pounce on Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing dodged flexibly and then swung the peach wood sword to engage in a fierce fight with the wolf demon. With the blessing of the Demon Suppression Technique, the peach wood sword was swung with great power every time, and gradually, the wolf demon began to show signs of defeat.

At this moment, the girl suddenly turned around, and a strange light flashed in her eyes. Zhou Xing vaguely saw a circle of silver lines flashing in her eyes. Before he could react, the wolf demon suddenly seemed to be controlled by an invisible force. Its body trembled violently, and then it fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a corpse.

Zhou Xing looked at the scene in front of him, his heart full of doubts. He walked to the girl and asked cautiously: "Who are you? How did you do that just now?" The girl raised her head, her eyes full of fear and fatigue. She said weakly: "Thank you for saving my life, sir. My name is Ling Xue, I am just an ordinary herbalist, and I accidentally encountered this wolf demon."

Although Zhou Xing had doubts in his heart, he didn't want to ask any more questions when he saw Ling Xue's pitiful appearance. He looked at the wolf demon's body and felt that there was something strange about this matter, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. So, he took Ling Xue away from the scene and planned to find a place for her to recover first.

Since that incident, Zhou Xing found that Ling Xue always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally. Moreover, she would disappear every full moon night. Zhou Xing's doubts grew heavier and heavier, and he decided to secretly follow Ling Xue to see what secrets she had.

On the night of the full moon, Ling Xue quietly left her residence as usual. Zhou Xing followed her from a distance, and saw her all the way to an abandoned ancestral hall. Ling Xue paused at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and then slowly walked in.

Zhou Xing followed her carefully, hiding behind a pillar, quietly observing her every move. Ling Xue walked to the corner of the ancestral hall, squatted down, and muttered something. After a while, a golden demon pill condensed in her palm.

Zhou Xing was shocked. It turned out that Ling Xue was actually a demon! Just as he was about to attack, he unexpectedly read the prophecy on his jade pendant: "Double life disaster, love shakes the nine heavens." Zhou Xing was shocked and didn't understand what this prophecy meant, but he intuitively felt that this prophecy was related to Ling Xue.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning struck down. It turned out to be a thunder tribulation. Ling Xue was frightened by the sudden thunder tribulation, and she dodged everywhere in panic. Seeing this, Zhou Xing rushed out immediately without thinking too much, and used a forbidden technique barrier to protect Ling Xue.

Amid the roar of thunder, Ling Xue finally couldn't help herself and cried bitterly to confess her life story. It turned out that her mother was a human doctor. She was infected with the demon poison when she tried to save a wounded rabbit demon. In order to repay her mother's life-saving grace, the rabbit demon gave her own demon pill to her mother, and from then on her mother became a half-demon. Later, her mother gave birth to Ling Xue, and Ling Xue also inherited the blood of this half-demon.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Ling Xue after hearing what happened to her. He looked at Ling Xue and said, "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you." Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing gratefully, tears in her eyes.

In order to find out the truth behind all this, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue came to the forbidden area of ​​Haoqing Sect. There, they found a mysterious Thousand Worlds Mirror. Zhou Xing cast a spell to activate the Thousand Worlds Mirror, and pictures suddenly appeared in the mirror.

It turns out that the two of them have gone through nine reincarnations, and died in each life because of "the difference between humans and monsters". In this life, they came to this monster-catching world and need to overcome the double disaster of "killing sin and emotional barrier".

Just as they were immersed in the truth, the elder of the sect suddenly appeared. The elder looked at them seriously and said, "Ling Xue, the remnant soul of the ancient demon god is sealed in your body. You must stay in the sect and let the sect find a way to eliminate the threat of this remnant soul." Ling Xue was filled with fear and resistance after hearing the elder's words. She didn't want to be imprisoned in the sect, so she took the opportunity to escape from the sect. Seeing this, Zhou Xing chased after her without hesitation.

However, the sect had been prepared, and they activated the demon-binding formation, trapping Ling Xue in it. When Zhou Xing arrived, he saw Ling Xue struggling in pain in the formation, and his heart tightened. He rushed into the formation without caring about his own safety, and used his own life essence and blood as a guide to try to break the formation.

With Zhou Xing's efforts, a crack finally appeared in the demon-binding formation. At this moment, Ling Xue awakened to the form of a rabbit demon. Furry ears grew on her head and a tail emerged from behind her. She looked at Zhou Xing with guilt in her eyes and choked up and said, "I have finally become your demon-killing mission."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue and said firmly: "You are not a task, you are the person I have chosen." As he said that, he hugged Ling Xue tightly in his arms.

After Zhou Xing disobeyed his master's order and took Ling Xue away, he was labeled a traitor by the sect. He and Ling Xue fled all the way, but were constantly besieged by the sect's pursuers. In order to protect Ling Xue, Zhou Xing decided to lead the pursuers away alone.

He handed his peach wood sword to Ling Xue and said, "Find a place to hide and wait for me to come back." Ling Xue had tears in her eyes and said reluctantly, "You have to be careful." Zhou Xing nodded, then turned and ran in another direction.

However, Zhou Xing was surrounded by so many pursuers. He brandished his peach wood sword and fought desperately with the pursuers. But the number of the pursuers was too large, and he gradually became powerless. At this moment, one of the pursuers took the opportunity to attack him and drove the Soul Devouring Nail into his body.

The severe pain from the Soul Devouring Nail almost made Zhou Xing faint, but he managed to escape the pursuit with his strong will. He endured the severe pain and came to a remote cave.

Ling Xue waited for a long time in her hiding place, but Zhou Xing did not come back, and she was very worried. She decided to go out and look for Zhou Xing. When she saw Zhou Xing who was seriously injured, her heart ached. She helped Zhou Xing into the cave and used her own demon pill to prolong his life.

However, the power of the demon pill was too strong for Zhou Xing, a human being, to bear. His body began to reject it, and his meridians felt painful, as if they were being torn apart.

In the severe pain of his meridians being shattered, Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and realized the prototype of "Chaos Art" with his mortal body. He practiced "Chaos Art" to try to reconcile the contradictions in his body. Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing's painful appearance, and her heart was filled with guilt and heartache. She cried and said, "If I can transform into a member of your clan, will we not hate each other?"

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue and said weakly: "No matter what, I will not give up on you."

Just when Zhou Xing and Ling Xue thought they could take a break, the remaining spirit of the demon god suddenly awakened in Ling Xue's body. It controlled Ling Xue's consciousness and devoured the spiritual energy of the three realms. Suddenly, the sky cracked and cracked, as if the end of the world had come.

After the sect learned of this, they immediately activated the Demon-Slaying Formation. Zhou Xing knew that this battle was unavoidable. Holding the broken sword in hand, he resolutely rushed towards Ling Xue.

Although Ling Xue was controlled by the remnant spirit of the demon god, she still had a trace of clarity in her heart. When Zhou Xing's broken sword pierced her heart, she deliberately deflected her heart meridian and avoided the vital point. At the same time, she poured the power of the demon god into Zhou Xing's body.

Zhou Xing felt the powerful power of the demon god in his body, and with this power, he forcibly broke through the limitations of his cultivation. A powerful aura emanated from his body, as if a god of war had descended.

Zhou Xing merged the spiritual power of the human and the demon, and slashed at the remaining soul of the demon god in the crack of the sky. His broken sword shone with dazzling light, like a meteor streaking through the night sky. In front of everyone's eyes, Zhou Xing slashed the remaining soul of the demon god with one strike.

However, this battle also cost Zhou Xing and Ling Xue a heavy price. The Heavenly Dao cursed them with "Eternal Separation of Humans and Demons", and a golden light enveloped them. When the light dissipated, Ling Xue gradually disappeared from Zhou Xing's sight.

Zhou Xing looked at the direction where Ling Xue disappeared, feeling grief-stricken. At this moment, he found that Ling Xue had left behind a half-bloody rabbit doll, and heard her last words before she disappeared, "Wait for me."

Three hundred years later, Zhou Xing has become the new headmaster of Haoqing Sect. He has been devoted to studying how to break the curse of "humans and demons are separated forever". By chance, he discovered an ancient secret realm.

Zhou Xing entered the secret realm with a glimmer of hope. In the secret realm, he met a rabbit demon who had been practicing for thousands of years. The rabbit demon had a natural silver pattern on its forehead, which was very similar to Ling Xue in his memory.

Zhou Xing's heart moved, and he asked the rabbit demon tentatively: "Do you remember Zhou Xing?" The rabbit demon was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. At this moment, Zhou Xing used the law of time and space to reverse time.

Time went back, and everything returned to the street where they first met. Zhou Xing looked at the familiar scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. At this time, the young man Ling Xue staggered over holding the herbs, and bloody star marks appeared on the backs of their hands at the same time.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, smiled and said, "This time, it's my turn to chase you nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times." Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with a shy smile on her face.

However, just when they thought they could start over, the iron law of heaven still exists. The two knew that their love still faced a huge test. But they have made up their minds that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, they will work together to overcome them, break the curse of "humans and demons are separated forever", and write their own legend.

Zhou Xing slowly woke up, only to find his surroundings extremely unfamiliar. He found himself in a dilapidated music studio, with dust and debris all over the floor. Confused, he stood up and paced around the room. He happened to catch a glimpse of his face reflected in the bronze mirror, which was very different from his original appearance. He looked at his hands again, and found that his fingertips were covered with calluses, which were obviously caused by playing the piano for many years.

At this moment, a young musician stumbled into the music hall and shouted anxiously, "Mr. Zhou, this is bad! The "Pozhenqu" that we carefully composed was seized by the chief eunuch, who said that he wanted to give it to the envoys from the Western Regions. What should we do?"
