Chapter 567 Ups and Downs
Half an hour later.

Shi Han carefully took out seven spiritual flowers of different colors and looked at Judge Cao and Chen Yuan nervously: "They are all here."

Judge Cao nodded slightly, wrote something in the Book of Life and Death, and then raised his pen to point out a black and white spiritual light.

The spiritual light passed over the sky above the seven spiritual flowers, drawing out seven pink clouds of spiritual aura that merged with it and transformed into a spiritual body.

"The living are bright, returning to their old ways."

He spoke softly, the power of the underworld began to take effect, and a cold wind blew over the Yellow Springs.

There were howlings of evil ghosts from inside the Ghost Gate, as if they were dissatisfied with someone who was able to return to life by taking advantage of the situation.

However, Judge Cao turned a deaf ear to it and used the judge's pen in his hand to guide the spirit towards Wu Qing'er's body.

The spirit fell and immediately merged with Wu Qing'er's corpse.

Taking back the judge's pen, Judge Cao closed the Book of Life and Death and returned to the gates of hell:

"Fairy Wu's life and past memories have all been enlightened into that spirit."

"But the newborn spirit is not the original owner. The Yuan Mei spirit body no longer exists. The cultivation must start all over again. The two Taoist friends need to take good care of it."

"Also, if Fairy Wu wants to travel back and forth again, she can no longer stay in Yuelingtian, otherwise she will attract the jealousy of the Yin spirits in this world. Take her away as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Shi Han hugged Wu Qing'er's body, which was beginning to warm up, and nodded repeatedly, with mixed feelings of sadness and joy in his eyes as he said:

"Thank you, Judge Cao! Thank you, Judge Cao!"

"Thank you Judge Cao for tonight."

Chen Yuan bowed and watched Judge Cao return to the underworld.

Turning his head, he looked at Wu Qing'er who was held in Shi Han's arms.

Wu Qing'er also slowly woke up and looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "Is it over?"

She spoke in a light and casual tone, as if she didn't know that the real her was dead.

"It's over, come home with me."

"No, she is mine. I will take her away from Yuelingtian. I will protect her with my life!"

Shi Han hugged Wu Qing'er tightly, making Wu Qing'er, who no longer had any cultivation, blush.

But Wu Qing'er's tone was still gentle, and she stroked Shi Han's face and said:

"Then you can come home with us."

Shi Han looked down at her, tears falling uncontrollably, and subconsciously obeyed her and said, "Okay, I'll go home with you."

As she spoke, she noticed that Wu Qing'er's face had turned red as she was hugged by her. She realized that Wu Qing'er no longer had any cultivation, so she quickly let go of her and said:

"Qing'er, how are you? Did I hurt you?"

Wu Qing'er looked at her helplessly, then stood up from her arms and rubbed her arms and said:
"You almost strangled me to death."

"I'm sorry, I have some healing medicine here, please take it quickly."

Shi Han took out the pill and carefully placed it in front of Wu Qing'er.

Looking at her licking dog look, Chen Yuan felt inexplicably emotional and sighed:

"Besides Lord Cangmu Dragon, where else in Yuelingtian is there a cross-border formation?"

Shi Han frowned and looked at him, then hesitated for a moment and said:
"I'm going to go back to Fire Maple Mountain first, pack some things, and then leave with you guys."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, transformed into the True Fire of the Sun, and moved towards Huofeng Mountain with them.

Half an hour later, the formation on Huofeng Mountain started to work. Shi Han took one last look at the dojo, then turned to look at Chen Yuan and said:
"Where did you come from? If you want to go back the way you came, do you have to follow the same route you came from?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Go to Demon Emperor Heaven."

"Demon Emperor Tian?"

Shi Han raised his eyebrows, and then realized that they were transferred from Yaohuangtian to Yuelingtian.

After all, Chen Yuan has a pure and spiritual aura, and Wu Qing'er is a human, so it is unlikely that they are from the Demon Emperor Heaven.

After a moment's thought, she said:
"There is a cross-border formation in the Nanming Sword Sect, and we have a good relationship. Let's go there."

Chen Yuan nodded without saying much. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, he and Wu Qing'er entered Shi Han's sleeve, and she went to negotiate with the Southern Ming Sword Sect.

The relationship between Nanming Sword Sect and Shi Han is indeed good. While waiting for the formation to be opened, Fanxu accompanied him throughout the process.

Ten days later, Shi Han stepped into the teleportation array and disappeared in Yuelingtian. The evil spirit that was originally spying outside the Nanming Sword Sect immediately dissipated.

When he arrived at the Demon Emperor's Heavenly Queen, Shi Han immediately shook Chen Yuan out from his sleeve and said:
"The rest is up to you. It's up to you to decide where to go."

Chen Yuan said seriously:

"You need to swear that if you go back with us, you will not leave again unless you ascend to the immortal world."

Shi Han didn't waste any words and spoke directly:

"I swear by my ancestors' blood that from now on, wherever Qing'er is, I will be there."

After saying that, she threw herself into Chen Yuan's sleeve. Regardless of what was happening outside, Chen Yuan did not delay and went straight to the Blood Crocodile Swamp clan.

When he came to the Blood Crocodile Swamp again, it was Qing Huang who greeted him again. After learning of his arrival, Yue Li hurried out of seclusion and rushed over.

After learning that Chen Yuan was here to borrow the cross-border formation, Qing Huang tactfully gave the two of them some time while he went to arrange for the opening of the cross-border formation.

After not seeing each other for several years, Yue Li's cultivation is still at the initial stage of Return to Void, but her aura has settled a lot.

After a brief reminisce, Yueli entwined herself around Chen Yuan like a boneless snake.

Unfortunately, Chen Yuan was not in the mood for pleasure at this time. He held her in his arms and said:

"When I go back this time, I will ascend to heaven soon."

Yue Li's face changed slightly, and then she forced a smile and said, "It is great that you can ascend to the immortal world..."

"Will you come with me?"

Hearing this, Yue Li's face lit up, and she hugged Chen Yuan's arms and said:

"Senior, are you willing to take me away?"

"So as to avoid regrets in the future." Chen Yuan said with a little disappointment.

Although Yueli didn't know what happened, she guessed something from Chen Yuan's tone.

At that moment, she gently held Chen Yuan's head against her chest, gently rubbed his temple and said, "It will be fine, it will be fine."

Chen Yuan had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but under Yue Li's gentle caress, he let go of the vigilance that had been on his mind since he was reincarnated as a fox.

At this moment, he seemed like an ordinary person in his previous life.

After a busy day outside, I fell asleep on the bed.

When he woke up, it was three days later.

The cross-border formation had already been opened. Yue Li accompanied him to the cross-border formation, tightened Chen Yuan's hand and said:
"Senior, I still won't follow you."

"what happened?"

Glancing sideways at the woman who had given him three days of peace, Chen Yuan felt somewhat puzzled.

"In the past three days, I asked my father to help me find out about the ascension."

"It is recorded in the Blood Crocodile Swamp that if one ascends alone, then the ascender will be able to pass through the thunder and ascend without much resistance and enter the immortal world."

“But if one brings relatives and friends along, the ascender will have to bear tremendous pressure.”

"And if she cannot ascend with the senior, it would be better for Yueli to stay in the Demon Emperor Heaven."

"Is there such a saying?" Chen Yuan frowned, and then said, "I will take care of this matter, you don't need to worry about it."

"Senior! The Blood Crocodile Swamp has been passed down for many years, and many people have ascended to it. These people have tried various methods, but in the end they could only helplessly abandon the people they were carrying."

Speaking of this, Yue Li said with a serious expression:

"Yue Li knows that she can't help you, senior, but I hope you will do what you can and not hurt yourself just to help others."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan no longer insisted:
"In that case, let's meet again in the immortal world in the future."

"Yes! Yueli will definitely ascend to the fairyland and find senior in the future!" Yueli nodded, with a bit of longing and expectation on her face.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, let go of her and stepped into the cross-border formation.

He passed through a space passage of unknown speed and returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm. After roughly identifying the location, he went straight to the middle realm and entered the Heavenly Demon Palace.

With a thought, he returned to the White Jade Hall of the Heavenly Demon Palace, waved his sleeves to call out Wu Qing'er and Shi Han, and said:

"We are back. From today on, you will practice here."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Heavenly Demon Palace spirits and said, "Arrange a quiet place for them."

The Heavenly Demon Palace spirit responded, and in front of Shi Han's surprised gaze, it opened up a side hall:
"In this lower world, I am the only one who has such abundant spiritual power. Please don't let Chen Yuan down..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Chen Yuan said, and raised his chin to Wu Qing'er:
"You go first, I'll come find you later."

"It's mysterious, but your cave is really good."

Although Wu Qing'er has no cultivation now and her Yuanmei spirit body has been broken, her body is still a Return to Void body, so she can naturally sense the extraordinaryness of this place.

After she and Shi Han entered the side hall, Shi Han immediately moved out the bed she had prepared in Huofeng Mountain and set up restrictions around it.

Holding Wu Qing'er's hand, she said with a distressed look on her face:
"Qing'er, you were seriously injured when you went to help Chen Yuan. Let me help you practice."

Wu Qing'er had no memory of her death, but she also realized that something was wrong with her, so she didn't refuse: "Okay."

Inside the White Jade Hall, after the Heavenly Demon Hall spirit closed the passage to the side hall, he immediately asked curiously:

"After your trip to the outside world, you have achieved the Great Sun Divine Body. Could it be that there is something wrong with the formation spirit of the Fourth Palace?"

"has a problem."

Chen Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, and then the formation pattern of the Nine Palaces Yangshen Tongtian Formation appeared on his body, and the center of the fourth palace emitted a green light.

A green dragon flew out from it and transformed into a blue wood dragon.

After coming out, he did not look at the Heavenly Demon Palace, but bowed his head and said:
"Fellow Daoist Tianqu, I can't do anything about what happened before."

"I know that person didn't borrow your power, but he left a Dao mark in your body long ago, using the Dao mark to cause disaster. You are unaware and powerless."

Hearing that Chen Yuan was not embarrassed, Cang Mulong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said seriously:
"In fact, it is not impossible for Fellow Daoist Tianqu's confidante to completely recover."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows and then asked, "What tricks does Lord Long have?"

"I have lived for tens of thousands of years, and I am the essence of Jiamu. I have indeed studied some secret techniques regarding wood and plant creatures."

As he spoke, he sent a green spiritual light to Chen Yuan, and said with a serious face:
"Fortunately, the spiritual charm left by Fairy Wu enlightened the spiritual flowers. With this secret technique combined with the Wood Heart Nurturing Heaven Formation, we can continuously nourish and enhance its spiritual charm."

“Until her spirit body turns into a living soul, when this living soul enters the immortal realm of Fanxu Earth again, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will recall the traces and Dao rhyme it left behind, and then she will be truly reborn.”

After Chen Yuan digested the secret technique in the green light, his depressed mood finally became more cheerful, and he nodded repeatedly:

"Thank you, Mr. Long!"

"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Tianqu. After all, this matter was caused by me. If I can't help, I will feel uneasy."

Chen Yuan smiled, rubbed his face with his hand, and returned to his original appearance.
"I have never shown my true face to anyone, I hope you will not blame me, Lord Dragon. My real name is Chen Yuan, and I will rise and fall with you in the future."

"Thank you, Daoist Chen, for not abandoning me."

The Cangmu Dragon King bowed and then flew back to the center of the formation in the fourth palace.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Demon Palace Spirit at the side could not help but say:
"What on earth happened? Your emotions changed so much. This must have affected your mood."

Chen Yuan was excited at the moment, but he didn't have time to explain:

"I'll tell you more later."

As he spoke, he stepped into the side hall where Wu Qing'er and Shi Han were.

Shi Han, who was helping Wu Qing'er practice, opened his eyes, frowned slightly, looked at him and said:
"I'm helping Qing'er practice, don't bother me if there's nothing else."

"I just got a secret technique that can allow Qing'er to recall her past traces and Dao rhyme when she steps into the Return to Void. Then she can be truly resurrected."

Chen Yuan responded via telepathic transmission, and with his identity as the master of the Heavenly Demon Palace, he controlled the layout of this side hall.

Without any auxiliary items, the Mu Xin Yangtian Formation took shape, and the position of Wu Qing'er and Shi Han was the center of the formation.

Rich wood element spiritual energy poured into the bodies of the two, warming their vitality while also making Wu Qing'er feel a strong sense of comfort.

She opened her eyes subconsciously, only to see that the person in front of her had become Chen Yuan.

Shi Han was moved outside the formation and glared at Chen Yuan with dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Wu Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled evilly:
"You don't want me to serve you in front of her, do you?"

"No, it's just that my cultivation is higher than hers, so it's better for me to help you practice."

Chen Yuan smiled gently, and reached out to hold her soft hand, injecting warm spiritual power into her body, guiding the secret circulation of Qi in her body.

After the secret technique was circulated for a week, the center of the formation where the two were located suddenly glowed with bright green light, and green grass grew under them.

Shi Han bit his lower lip while watching from outside the formation. He didn't know what he was thinking about afterwards. His expression was filled with anger but also with a morbid expectation.

······
Four months later, Chen Yuan finally let go of Wu Qing'er's hand, pinched her cheek and said:
"You have returned to your Nascent Soul state, and your spirit body has transformed into a soul. Remember to practice this secret technique for seven weeks every day. It will speed up the recovery of your spirit."

"understood."

Wu Qing'er responded unhappily, then smiled evilly:
"Why don't you just practice dual cultivation with me? If you help me practice dual cultivation with your current cultivation level, wouldn't it be possible to help me return to the void in half a month?"

"No, your spiritual energy is too damaged. If you recover too quickly, your spiritual energy will not be able to catch up. It will be difficult for you to make any progress in the future."

Chen Yuan shook his head, comforted her with a few words, then stood up and left the formation.

He moved Shi Han, who had been guarding outside the formation, back to the center of the formation and secretly transmitted a message:
"Qing'er's soul is already alive, but her spirit needs to be nurtured by secret techniques and formations for three years. Don't try to force her to grow!"

"Got it." Shi Han responded through voice transmission, and then held Wu Qing'er lovingly and said:

"Qing'er, since he is not free, let me help you practice. I am also a Return to Void Great Demon, not much worse than him."

Wu Qing'er covered her mouth and chuckled, playing with her in the green grass in the eyes of the formation: "It doesn't matter, you can compare it next time."

Outside the Heavenly Demon Palace, the figures of Chen Yuan and Zhao Kuo appeared.

Looking at Zhao Kuo, whose aura had become much more ethereal, Chen Yuan said:
"I will ascend to heaven in five years. Do you want to go with me?"

"Did you feel anything?" Zhao Kuo asked with a look of surprise.

"Well, after all the ups and downs in my emotions, I suddenly felt something."

Chen Yuan nodded:

“However, with my background, if I want to suppress it, I can also imitate Senior Guishou back then and suppress it forcibly for a period of time.”

"Are you concerned about something?"

"Not yet, because I plan to take the people I care about with me to ascend."

"If that's the case, why suppress it? When the time comes, just ascend directly." Zhao Kuo's expressionless face showed a clear smile for the first time in a long time:

"But I can ascend on my own, so I won't go with you."
