Chapter 1368 Dual Strategies
Xiao Shu was in a rare good mood, and gave Yun Xi a smile, saying:

“When I realized there was something wrong with my body, I chose to leave the ‘Divine Book Pavilion’. I knew very well that someone must have altered the ‘Wordless Heavenly Book’ to be able to tamper with us without being detected by the guarding priests.”

Yunxi glanced at the smug little book and said:

"There aren't many people who can modify the 'Book Without Words,' and modifying the 'Book Without Words' will definitely come at a price. Who do you think it is?"

Yunxi asked the crucial question, but Xiaoshu simply shrugged and said:
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. After the Immortal Realm returns to the Divine Realm, I will take you to the 'Divine Book Pavilion' so you can personally inquire about the 'Wordless Heavenly Book'."

Yunxi was somewhat dissatisfied with Xiaoshu's evasive answer, but she knew that Xiaoshu was tight-lipped and it was too early to discuss these matters, so she did not intend to press further. However, she would have Chanjia stay close to Xiaoshu.

Just then, she sensed a spatial fluctuation and said to the little book beside her:
"The Demon Emperor Huawu has come in person; there must be something unusual happening on Liao Ziqian's side."

Xiao Shu immediately got up to say goodbye, as he was going to see if any new information had been sent back.

A moment later, Chanjia, having received Yunxi's telepathic message, led the Flowery Demon Emperor and the Xunkun Demon King into the side hall.

After Chanjia withdrew, Yunxi waved her hand to set up an isolation barrier in the side hall, then looked at Huawu and said:
"What brings the Demon Emperor to Linyuan Pavilion to visit me?"

Hua Wu shook her head helplessly and said:
"Liao Ziqian caused some trouble at Chaos Cliff. I was afraid the situation would get out of control, so I wanted to go and investigate, but Xun Kun stopped me. He said that Liao Ziqian's soul had not been completely annihilated."

Xun Kun, standing to the side, flipped his hand and took out Liao Ziqian's soul lamp. Looking at the faint flame on the soul lamp, Yun Xi flicked out a merit point, which stabilized the weak flame again.

Hua Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but she still pressed for an answer:
"Ranxi, can Liao Ziqian's soul really hold out until the end? The evil god isn't stupid; what if he notices?"

She was always worried that Liao Ziqian's soul could not be completely hidden and might be completely devoured by the evil god, at which point they would be even more passive.

Yunxi knew that Huawu's worries were not unfounded, so she explained:

"Back then, Xun Kun and I sacrificed so much merit so that Liao Ziqian's soul would be devoured later. The longer he persisted, the more he could participate in the transformation of the demonic energy within his body, and develop an affinity with the transformed power, making it easier for him to control the new power."

The "Soul Refining Technique" that I taught Ziqian comes from the underworld. It can help him conceal his soul in the acupoints of his body, making the evil god think that he is gradually consuming the merit power in Ziqian's soul and exhausting his soul power.

In order to make Liao Ziqian persevere to the end, he had to sacrifice a part of his soul, making the evil god think that he had completely devoured Ziqian's soul and had complete control over his body. Only then would the evil god make his next move.

The weakening of the Soul Lamp is a result of Ziqian sacrificing part of his soul. Currently, things seem to be under control, and we should have faith in Ziqian.

After hearing Yunxi's explanation, Huawu's expression improved considerably, but she still frowned and said:

"Ranxi, do you think Liao Ziqian's remaining soul can regain control of his body?"

Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said:
“When Xun Kun and I were planning this, we considered this situation. So when the time is right, we won’t just wait for Liao Ziqian to fight the evil god for the body. Instead, we will force the evil god to give up Ziqian’s body on his own initiative.” “At that time, the evil god may go all out and may not necessarily break away from Liao Ziqian’s body.”

A sharp glint flashed in Yunxi's eyes as she said:

"Then he must be prepared to perish together with Ziqian's physical body. At that time, I will ask a senior expert to protect Liao Ziqian's remnant soul, so that he can have a chance to re-enter the Dao. This is the promise that Xunkun and I made to Ziqian, and it is also the way out we have found for him."

After hearing Yunxi's explanation, Huawu's expression finally softened, and she rubbed her fingers together, saying:
"The evil god is currently hiding in Chaos Cliff, and has caused such a commotion. Has there been infighting among them?"

Yunxi nodded and said:
"It's highly likely. After all, with our relentless pressure, the evil god is left with only a head and a wisp of a soul. It's impossible for him to restore his strength to its peak in a short time using Liao Ziqian's body."

But the evil god wouldn't follow the rules; he must have used even more ruthless methods to cause this commotion. Now Xun Kun can go check on the situation at Chaos Cliff. After all, failing to investigate anomalies would be very inconsistent with the Immortal Realm's response.

Upon hearing this, Xun Kun's eyes lit up. He cupped his hands in greeting, then flashed out of Lin Yuan Pavilion, tore through space, returned to the Demon Realm, and headed straight for Chaos Cliff.

Yunxi smiled and pushed a wine gourd in front of Huawu, saying:
"Relax, everything is still under control. Xun Kun is even more worried about Liao Ziqian's condition than you are. He hasn't dared to go into seclusion all these years because of this disciple."

Hua Wu did not reject Yun Xi's advances. She pulled out the stopper from the wine gourd, smelled it, and a look of intoxication flashed across her face. After taking a sip, her eyes brightened. She put the stopper back in and said with a smile:
"This agarwood and sunflower-infused immortal wine has a unique flavor and can also enhance cultivation. It's a wonderful thing, thank you very much."

Yunxi raised an eyebrow and said:
"This was brewed from the plant pets I collected. Because the required immortal plants were of very high age, it only made two gourds in total. Now that I've given it to you, I only have one left. Don't go around telling anyone."

Hua Wu smiled and agreed. She believed her words. After all, with her cultivation at the Immortal Emperor realm, improving her cultivation required more than just accumulating demonic energy. Her successful breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm was also thanks to the rise of the Immortal Realm.

Seeing that Hua Wu's attitude had relaxed considerably, Yun Xi changed the subject, talking about the cultivation situation of several demon kings in the Demon Realm. If the Immortal Realm wanted to return to the Divine Realm as soon as possible, the more people who could break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, the better.

The two were having a very pleasant conversation when Xun Kun hurriedly returned to Lin Yuan Pavilion and said to them:
"The evil immortals did indeed have internal strife, and a number of high-level evil immortals died."

Hua Wu immediately asked:

"What exactly is the situation with Xun and Kun?"

Xun Kun waved his sleeve, displaying the image he had seen in front of Hua Wu and Ran Xi, and explained:
“When I led my men to investigate, I did not deliberately conceal our tracks, giving Liao Ziqian time to leave. However, he must have been injured, so he did not have time to erase his traces before leaving, leaving behind these incomplete array patterns and a broken array plate.”

Yunxi and Huawu carefully examined the scene and analyzed the remaining information, ultimately arriving at an expected answer.

The evil god who possessed Liao Ziqian's remnant soul, in order to quickly strengthen himself and have the strength to fight against the five immortal emperors, extended his reach to Liao Ziqian's loyal followers. He first helped these people improve their cultivation and gave them plenty of benefits, and then unexpectedly took away their cultivation, allowing Liao Ziqian's cultivation to make a qualitative leap in a short period of time.

These evil immortals were unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom, so they attacked Liao Ziqian, causing such a commotion in their attempt to attract the attention of the demon realm's bigwigs. They succeeded, but they also ruined their own cultivation.
