Demon, come and cultivate for me.

Zhou Chu was startled by the thought that popped into his head.

If the Yellow Spring Stone that can never be climbed to the top and the eccentric gourd are both products of illusion, then...

Therefore, it is highly likely that everything from the moment one sets foot on Huangquan Ridge and sees the blue demon flower was a lie.

In other words, Zhou Chu was actually still at the entrance to Huangquan Ridge, trapped in place by the whispers of the blue demon flower.

"What are you thinking about? Come up here!" the taciturn man shouted down.

Zhou Chu nodded and continued climbing, his eyes fixed on the gourd above.

As he climbed, he silently calculated the distance to the silent gourd in his mind.

Once they were close enough, Zhou Chu suddenly attacked, grabbing the silent man's right leg and pulling him down forcefully.

I thought this move would be extremely risky.

Unexpectedly, with just a tug, the silent gourd was thrown directly from top to bottom.

Zhou Chu waited for a long time, but he didn't hear the sound of him landing, and he didn't even let out an instinctive shout.

He stared down, but couldn't see any trace of the "silent gourd".

"What are you looking at?"

A muffled voice came from above, and Zhou Chu's scalp instantly tingled.

Didn't he fall down? This illusion is too eerie.

He resorted to his old trick again, trying to catch the mysterious gourd.

But they ended up empty-handed.

The other party climbed up several rows in a row.

"Zhou Chu, what are you doing! Have you gone mad?"

The "silent gourd" spoke again, but this time it was a woman's voice.

Zhou Chu recognized the voice; it was Zhao Ji.

The man with the taciturn expression had a sinister look in his eyes and a strange upturn at the corners of his mouth. When he spoke, it was Xu Yuan's voice:

"I considered you a brother, why did you betray me?"

Zhou Chu climbed several rows to chase after the "silent gourd".

But the other party was obviously faster and always maintained a safe distance from Zhou Chu.

In the end, Zhou Chu gave up the chase.

The sky was already showing the first light of dawn, and the sun was about to rise.

Zhou Chu disregarded the taboo against using mortal techniques in this place, channeled his true energy, and unleashed the full power of his Dragon Elephant Fist, smashing it fiercely against the Yellow Spring Stone in front of him.

The blow was extremely powerful, and Zhou Chu was thrown backward by the reaction force, his body falling continuously downward.

The space below seemed to be an endless abyss, and Zhou Chu fell for a very long time without touching the ground.

Click~ Click~ Click~

A series of cracking sounds rang in my ears, and cracks appeared on the Yellow Spring Stone.

This was the first time Zhou Chu had used the Dragon Elephant Fist at full power after reaching the True Body Realm. He never expected its power to be so terrifying, capable of cracking such a tall and hard boulder.

He is still falling.

A nameless fear arose in my heart.

He began to fear that he would continue to fall like this into the void, never to reach the bottom.

The whispers of the blue enchanting flower echoed in his ears once more, mingling with the sound of the boulder cracking.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and he even forgot where he was.

Finally, he lost consciousness and passed out.

I don't know how much time had passed, but the muffled voice rang in my ears again.

"Wake up, wake up, are you really dead?"

Zhou Chu felt someone patting his face. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a blurry red figure, followed by the expressionless face of the taciturn man.

The silent man squatted down next to Zhou Chu, reaching out a finger to probe Zhou Chu's nose and check his breath.

Zhou Chu suddenly stood up and stepped back, shoving the taciturn man aside, and shouted, "Who exactly are you?"

"Of course I'm your partner, who else could I be?" the taciturn man chuckled.

"Playing tricks!"

Zhou Chu punched the silent man, and with a dragon's roar, a blue dragon shape shot out from his arm and headed straight for the silent man's chest.

The silent fellow reacted quickly, dodging the attack.

As a result, he only managed to dodge a vital spot. His left shoulder was hit by the dragon-shaped object, and his body flew backward for dozens of feet before he could finally stop.

Zhou Chu was secretly surprised. It seemed that this guy's cultivation was not low, as he was able to withstand this punch head-on.

He was about to unleash his second punch.

The other person suddenly knelt on the ground, pleading, "Spare me! Spare me!"

Zhou Chu ignored him and unleashed another Dragon Elephant Fist.

This time, the other person wasn't so lucky. He was punched in the chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Chu stepped forward to check on the man's condition and saw that the person impersonating Chi Dingzi was beginning to shrink.

Zhou Chu watched as the person shrank from large to small, eventually transforming into a flower.

It was a red flower with the same shape as the blue demon flower, and the patterns on the petals formed a woman's face.

"It really is a demonic flower!"

Zhou Chu was furious and reached out to uproot the demonic flower and crush it into mud.

This red, bewitching flower actually bent down on its own, bowing like a human:

"Spare me, spare me! I'll tell you how to get the Netherworld Blade!"

Zhou Chu stopped: "Speak quickly."

The red demonic flower twisted to one side, pointing directly at the Yellow Spring Stone.

"Do you even need to tell me? Of course I know it's on the Yellow Springs Stone."

"Look!"

Zhou Chu looked in the direction the demon flower was pointing.

The boulder was cracked in many places.

The largest crack emitted a faint blue light, much brighter than the blue light emitted by the blue demon flower.

"I know, go to hell." Zhou Chu uprooted the red demon flower.

The demonic flower writhed and cried out in anguish, "I've saved you so many times, why do you still want to kill me? From the moment you arrived here, you were under a spell. I saved you every time!"

These words made Zhou Chu stop.

Seeing that there was hope, the demon flower continued, "Don't kill me, I'll help you retrieve the Netherworld Blade."

"Why are you helping me?" Zhou Chu asked.

"because……"

Before it could finish speaking, Zhou Chu walked straight toward the crack that emitted a blue glow.

Because it won't be long before dawn.

The crack wasn't large, just big enough for Zhou Chu to squeeze through sideways.

The entrance to the cave was wet, and Zhou Chu easily squeezed in.

After walking a few steps sideways, the space in front of me gradually opened up.

Zhou Chu saw that not far ahead, a strangely shaped large knife was stuck on a stone platform.

The blue glow emanated from the blade, illuminating the entire space.

The demonic flower twisted in Zhou Chu's hand, and suddenly sharp thorns sprouted from its body.

The sharp thorns pierced Zhou Chu's palm, causing him to gasp in pain and instinctively drop the demon flower on the ground.

The demonic flower's evil scheme succeeded, and its body rapidly expanded, growing into a human form with hands and feet in an instant.

However, its body is still composed of flowers and stems.

It ran towards the stone platform before Zhou Chu could:

"Boy, prepare to die!" It stretched out its lush green vines, gripped the knife handle, and struggled upwards.

The embarrassing thing is that this Netherworld Blade, though it doesn't look big, weighs tens of millions of kilograms, and no matter how hard you try, you can't pull it out.

Zhou Chu sneered, leaped forward, and kicked the demonic flower away.

Then he casually picked up the Netherworld Blade.

Having learned from the previous experience with the demonic flower, Zhou Chu assumed the knife must be extremely heavy, so he used all his strength to pull it out.

However, this Netherworld Blade was even lighter than Zhou Chu's sword, causing Zhou Chu to stumble due to excessive force.

Seeing that things were not going well, the demon flower turned around and fled.

Zhou Chu quickly gave chase.
