Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

The world spun around in a flash of white light.

Finally, the two appeared on an altar.

The altar was carved with obscure and difficult-to-understand symbols.

A crimson energy barrier surrounded them.

The altar was empty, but a bright red stone pillar stood in the very center of it.

Several red crystals are inlaid on the stone pillar, and it seems that the luster of the crystals has gradually dimmed over the years.

A lifelike red and blue dragon is wrapped around the stone pillar.

The moment the two stepped into this place, the demonic dragon's pair of blood-red demonic eyes stared intently at them, its pupils moving as if they were alive.

It was as if a living, monstrous dragon had been forcibly embedded into a stone pillar.

Beneath this stone pillar, a human-shaped skeleton leans against the ground with its head bowed.

At the same time, it held two spirit pearls in each of its hands.

A crimson spirit pearl emitting a faint red glow.

A red and blue spirit pearl radiating red and blue energy.

"really....."

The moment Chu Yang saw the red and blue spirit orb in the old man Chi Yuan's hand, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

If that's the case, then it all makes some sense.

Lin Xi followed Chu Yang cautiously as they walked over.

"These are the remains of Elder Chiyuan?"

Looking at the skeleton, Lin Xi also noticed the two spirit orbs in its hand.

A crimson spirit pearl.

A red and blue spirit pearl.

Within these red and blue spirit orbs, a dragon's shadow could be faintly seen.

"This crimson spirit pearl should be the Crimson Origin Spirit Pearl, containing the power of the Crimson Origin and the legacy of the Crimson Origin Elder."

"Then what are these red and blue spirit orbs? Why are they here?"

Lin Xi vaguely sensed that this spirit pearl contained extremely pure ice power.

This power perfectly complemented her magical abilities.

If I absorb it, my strength might break through.

However, this spirit pearl seems to contain not only the power of ice, but also another strange power.

Lin Xi's hand involuntarily reached for the red and blue spirit orbs.

However, just as her hand was about to touch the spirit pearl, a large hand swiftly grabbed her wrist.

The force gripped her wrist tightly.

"Don't move!"

A cold voice came from beside her, and Lin Xi turned her head to meet Chu Yang's fierce gaze.

Its ferocity was tinged with a hint of coldness.

It was as if if Lin Xi continued to act recklessly, they would act decisively without hesitation.

Lin Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she obediently withdrew her hand.

"I won't move..."

Chu Yang glanced at her coldly, released her wrist, and snatched the red and blue spirit orb into his hand.

Instead of retrieving the Crimson Spirit Pearl immediately, he picked up the Red and Blue Spirit Pearls.

As soon as the spirit pearl fell into Chu Yang's hand, the demonic dragon statue on the stone pillar immediately turned its blood-red eyes toward Chu Yang, its eyes surging with bloody light.

Chu Yang glanced at the stone pillar.

"Didn't you just ask why the power of the external celestial laws dissipated?"

"It was created to suppress the demonic dragon before you."

"A demonic dragon?!"

Following Chu Yang's gaze, Lin Xi looked at the stone pillar behind the skeleton.

On that stone pillar, a ferocious red and blue dragon was vividly depicted, its blood-red eyes fixed on Chu Yang.

Even without meeting those dragon eyes, Lin Xi could feel a chill.

Chu Yang continued to explain:

"Legend has it that during the lifetime of the Crimson Elder, he captured an Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon, but the dragon's bloodline was too powerful, preventing him from killing it."

"So he thought of completely killing him by breaking through to the Saintly Realm."

"Before breaking through, he forcibly separated the body and soul of the Ice Dragon, using the altar's restrictions to seal the body inside this stone pillar, while sealing the soul inside the spirit pearl to achieve balance."

"However, he did not expect that he would be tricked by the Ice Evolution Demon Dragon when he broke through to the Saint Realm, which ultimately led to his failure to transcend the tribulation."

"So, on his deathbed, he arranged for this Crimson Origin Ruins to seal the Ice Dragon within, where it remained for hundreds of years."

"Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon?!" Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise.

The Ice Dragon's bloodline is exceptionally high, second only to that of divine beasts.

One can reach the Great Emperor realm upon reaching adulthood.

Unexpectedly, the old man Chiyuan forcibly sealed such a demonic dragon here.

"So your ultimate goal is to come here for this Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon?"

"I'm just here to stop some unnecessary things from continuing to happen."

"The remaining energy of the Crimson Sea of ​​Fire and the Crimson Dharma Image will gradually dissipate, and at that time, the soul and body of the Ice Dragon will reunite."

"After hundreds or thousands of years, its strength will surely break through again, perhaps even becoming comparable to the Saint Realm."

"At that time, the surrounding area will be devastated."

"Therefore, during this period I will completely prevent its divine body from becoming one with its own and imprison it completely. During this time, I need you to protect me."

"You should understand that once the two tests dissipate, the rest of the challengers will rush in here together."

As he spoke, he also picked up the Crimson Spirit Pearl and sat cross-legged in front of the stone pillar.

He formed ancient and mysterious golden hand seals.

It was injected into the Crimson Spirit Pearl.

"I see."

Lin Xi nodded solemnly.

She understood that the birth of this Ice Dragon was no trivial matter.

Although it was difficult for her to stop those people from the Cangyun Sect, she could not back down at such a crucial moment.

"Since you're aware of this, then get ready."

Chu Yang gave Lin Xi a deep look before closing his eyes and concentrating.

Actually, the Ice Dragon is secondary.

The main purpose was to prevent Lin Xi from obtaining the Ice Dragon Pearl.

That's right.

In fact, the true beneficiary of the Ice Dragon Pearl was Lin Xi.

The Lin Xi from my past life.

In her previous life, after hastily leaving Qingyang City, she also chose to travel around Jinlan Realm for a period of time.

And so, she happened to encounter the birth of this Crimson Yuan Ruins.

In his past life, he only learned through hearsay that Lin Xi had broken into the ruins and taken the Ice Dragon Pearl.

I also felt the power of the Ice Dragon when I fought her.

However, this Ice Dragon Pearl not only contains pure ice power, but also demonic energy that affects people's minds.

Chu Yang didn't know if Lin Xi had absorbed the Ice Dragon Pearl in her previous life, which caused the Demon Face to awaken prematurely.

This even led to the creation of the Demon Mask.

But now that he's getting a second chance, he absolutely cannot let this happen again.

He wanted to stop Lin Xi from obtaining the Ice Dragon Pearl and completely eliminate any potential threats!

Perhaps only by constantly changing things can their fates avoid repeating the same mistakes.

The only thing that puzzles him now is...

In her previous life, Lin Xi was also only at the Core Formation Realm. How did she break through the Crimson Origin Realm and enter this place to steal the Ice Dragon Pearl?

"......"

Perhaps it was a method left to her by her master.

Chu Yang began to deal with the matter of the Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon.

Lin Xi stood guard to the side with a hint of trepidation.

At this moment, she was completely unaware that the opportunity that originally belonged to her in her previous life had been forcefully intercepted by Chu Yang.

Even if she knew, she probably wouldn't feel much heartache if she knew about the dragon's demonic nature.

After all, she is not Lin Xi from her previous life.

Shortly after Chu Yang closed his eyes and concentrated, the crimson primordial power of the entire space outside the altar surged into Chu Yang's surroundings.

The rich crimson light above the sky grew increasingly dim and thin.

"The energy of the Crimson Origin Dharma Image is getting weaker and weaker..."

Upon noticing the unusual change, Lin Xi summoned the Ice Phoenix Sword and became alert.

at the same time.

The system's voice suddenly rang in Lin Xi's mind.

[Ding! You are in danger and a mission has been triggered. Your choices will determine the outcome.]

Your current selected path is as follows.

[1. Protector Chu Yang's task in dealing with the demonic dragon]

[As the Crimson Seal gradually weakens, the Ice-Evolving Demon Dragon is about to be born. Chu Yang is currently dealing with this. You choose to protect him and join forces to suppress the demon!]

[Reward: Mystery Treasure Chest x1!]

[Note: This reward is related to the progress of the task; the more difficult the process and the longer it takes, the richer the reward.]

[2. Choosing to abandon Chu Yang and decisively fleeing]

[Because of the humiliation you suffered at Chu Yang's hands, you refused to submit to him and seized the opportunity to break free from his control!]

[Reward: 1 x Grade 4 Ice Profound Pill]

[Note: This option only temporarily removes control. Chu Yang will track you down using the Soul Cleansing Lock after he has dealt with the matter.]

3. They stubbornly resisted Chu Yang's orders and joined forces with the four major sects to deal with him!

[Reward: Painkiller x1]

[Note: This choice carries an extremely high risk of death, and the task of playing the fiancée will be terminated immediately. Please choose carefully.]

"......"

Lin Xi decisively chose one.

Swish swish swish—
