He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

"Your Excellency, let's not wait any longer! Let's attack together! If we kill this Taoist, there's still hope for the restoration of the Worry-Free Realm!" Little Tree urged loudly from the side.

Xu Yi did not attack at this moment. He sensed that the old tree was in a bad mood, as if it had something to say.

"Hehehe, no need, no need. Senior, I think I should address you as senior."

"With your cultivation level, killing the two of us would be as easy as turning your hand, yet you've dragged it out until now. What is the reason for this?"

Old Tree stared at Xu Yi and voiced his doubts. This Taoist was really going too far. He could have killed them both in one fell swoop, but now it seemed that he didn't have any intention of killing them at all.

He didn't know what the Taoist priest wanted anymore.

"Senior, I am completely convinced. I am willing to do anything, even be your slave, just say the word."

"I'll do anything you ask."

The old tree stopped resisting and bowed. Although this way of life was not dignified, he no longer wanted to take a few more blows from the Taoist's strange supernatural powers.

To be able to absorb his supernatural powers out of thin air is simply too abnormal. Moreover, based on the old tree's many years of combat experience, this Taoist priest did not seem to have used his full strength.

He had witnessed the fact that it only took three sword strikes to kill the old pig. If he were to capture the old pig himself, three moves would be impossible; it would be too much to ask of him.

However, the fact that this Taoist could do it is enough to show that he has profound cultivation.

Is the Five Elements Gathering at the Origin really that powerful? The old tree was unwilling to accept this, so it wanted to live by another means. As long as it was alive, that was enough. As long as it was alive, there was hope for revenge, and as long as it was alive, there was a chance to make a comeback.

This is his current plan; he has already lowered his stance considerably.

"No, I don't want anything, I just want you dead."

Xu Yi grinned, no longer holding back, and thrust his sword forward, shattering the old tree's demon core. His supernatural powers dissipated, and the sky and clouds changed color, a sign of the fall of his supernatural abilities.

The secrets of heaven were concealed just now, and no changes were observed when Old Pig died, but those who are observant can still detect them.

At this moment, almost all the demons in the Worry-Free Realm looked up at the sky. Even the crow couple who were still fighting took a moment to glance at the sky. They were entangled and unable to leave. The Taoist magic of this bearded giant was quite powerful.

Not only that, the burly man with the bushy beard, fearing they might escape, specially set up a barrier to trap the couple.

"My life is over!" Black Crow roared, head bowed, unwilling but helpless.

...

"The Venerable One is dead?" Xiao Shu's pupils shrank suddenly. He dared not stay here any longer. This Taoist's strength was too strange. But could he really escape?

Xiao Shu didn't dare to think any further. He transformed into an arc of light and fled into the distance. He didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to run. If they caught up, that was fine. If they didn't, that would be the best, as it would save his life.

Sensing the passing of life, the old tree stammered, unable to utter a single word.

He seemed to see a revolving lantern of his entire life. In the beginning, he was just a sapling. It was a time of war, a time of constant struggle, bloodshed, and fire.

He grew up nourished by countless drops of blood, his sustenance being human corpses, which is why he has become the bloodthirsty creature he is today, and he loves to eat people.

This was his nature, not something he developed later in life. It was only after reaching the level of supernatural powers that this habit gradually changed. In order to get used to the intensity of supernatural powers, he had to slowly change many things.

Slowly, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. Xu Yi drew his immortal sword, and with a soft "plop," a large amount of green blood gushed out. His demon core was shattered, and his cultivation was beyond recovery. Xu Yi glanced at the old tree that had fallen from the sky.

He turned and charged at the sapling, but just as he was about to leave, the 'Ten Thousand Demons Record' in his arms flew out on its own and flew towards the old tree's corpse.

Xu Yi was startled. What was going on? This was the first time the catalog had behaved so strangely, that it could even move on its own.

The Myriad Demons Scroll drifted onto the old tree's corpse and began to absorb its nutrients and everything within it.

In just a few breaths, the old tree's corpse had become a dried-up mummy.

The catalog seemed to have eaten its fill and was quite satisfied, but it didn't return to Xu Yi's arms. Instead, it remained motionless in place.

Xu Yi was puzzled. He looked in the direction of the catalog, reached out and tried to pull it back into his arms. This catalog was his biggest secret. If others saw it, they would probably covet it.

However, this time the catalog was not as obedient as before. Xu Yi increased the suction force of his magic, but the catalog only swayed slightly and did not make any other extra movements. What does this mean?

This was the first time Tu Lu had disobeyed his orders. Xu Yi frowned and flew towards Tu Lu. Tu Lu was a spirit, and he was unaware that things seemed to be getting out of his control, which made him feel very insecure.

Xu Yi approached the catalog and grabbed it. This time, the catalog didn't break free; instead, it turned the pages, allowing Xu Yi to see its contents.

It was the old tree that had been eaten. It had been completely absorbed by the pictorial record, which in turn boosted Xu Yi's cultivation and granted him a supernatural power.

Xu Yi simply hadn't had time to understand, as he wasn't clear about the exact nature of his relationship with the catalog.

The catalog seemed to sense Xu Yi's doubts, and it turned to a blank page once again.

The text above reads: "Xu Yi, you are simply reclaiming what belongs to you."

"I will take you back to the past and help you uncover all the secrets."

Now it was Xu Yi's turn to be completely dumbfounded. He had only killed the great demon that the catalog wanted, so how did he trigger so many hidden quests?

"You said you'd take me back to the past? How long ago?"

Xu Yi has experienced too much to describe his experiences during this period. Since his trip to the Taoist Heavenly Palace, everything in this world seems to have begun to change.

No, it was that everything around him seemed to be changing.

However, Xu Yi couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was different.

Everything he experienced seemed to be guiding him to find the truth.

To search for the lost past? As the Azure Netherworld Ancestor said, now there is another record. They all seem to be telling Xu Yi that you were once a very powerful being, that you were once a very formidable person.

You were once, you were once, so who is real and who is fake? And who am I, Xu Yi?
