After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

However, what troubled Shi Yan the most was that loli who seemed to want to devour him whole. He actually recognized her and had even been swallowed by her before.

"A little Pixiu..."

Part 251 A Girl from the Outer Heavenly Demon Realm? [3K words per chapter]

A giant loli statue, seemingly smug and laughing with its hands on its hips and looking up at the sky.

To Shi Yan, it even seemed to carry a hint of smugness and mockery.

Looking at the white jade statue of the little Pixiu, Shi Yan, clutching Feng Manlou in his arms, felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

I think I probably brought the wrong pet.

Think about it too.

If the game really does have a pet system... then Feng Manlou's attribute would probably be [Wind Spirit Beast], which has the ability to help people escape.

However, the drawback is that, as an innate ability, the cooldown time for Feng Manlou to escape with people is much longer than the player's own movement speed.

Although it does have the effect of delivering a decisive blow in battle.

But... the enemy he was facing at that moment was the otherworldly demon that the "Fairy of Yaotai" had personally sealed away back then.

The way this thing fights is clearly unconventional.

Combined with Elder Long Taojia's tense appearance when he entered the Tongxuan state, he even took out the Poison-Breaking and Evil-Repelling Pill.

The attack methods of the extraterrestrial demons must involve some kind of vile mental pollution.

Mental pollution... you can't escape it even if you turn into the wind.

In contrast—

It's a small Pixiu.

In fact, Shi Yan didn't understand what a small Pixiu at the Foundation Establishment stage could do when facing the extraterrestrial demons.

We can't just swallow them whole, can we?

If it were truly possible to devour... even a thousand years ago, the "Fairy of Yaotai" wouldn't have gone to such lengths to seal that otherworldly demon here.

However... Shi Yan looked up at the huge statue of the little Pixiu.

I still think the 'pet' in Yunmeng Jihua is more likely to be a small Pixiu.

It makes sense when you think about it.

The full name of the little Pixiu is "the soul that wards off evil".

Although his cultivation level is only at the Foundation Establishment stage,... his name says it all.

In addition, the little Pixiu is a standard celestial mythical beast.

He has a good relationship with Shi Jiuzhou and Hua Xiangrong.

In Yinghua City, it was simply rampant and domineering. If it weren't for Yunyi watching over it, Yunshang would have been scared to tears by the little Pixiu several times a day.

The Yunmeng machine's reminder might actually be that you should bring a small Pixiu with you.

"Seriously... he can't even say things completely." Shi Yan seemed to be muttering to himself.

Actually, she knew it too.

It wasn't that Yun Mengji didn't want to tell him, but that at that time she really couldn't tell him anymore.

At that time, her life was already like a flower withering in the wind, and she could collapse at any moment.

At that time, Yun Mengji was probably thinking about how to help himself break the calamity of the "Great Array of the Rebellious Palace of All Demons".

Before your body perishes, remind yourself of those important things that cannot be ignored.

However... by the time Shi Yan returned to the Love Sea Demon Sect, Yun Mengji had already been taken away by her younger sister.

She never managed to tell Shi Yan which pet he was supposed to bring.

Shi Yan stroked the soft fur on Feng Manlou's back, making the kitten's fur sway back and forth.

She manipulated the [Sword Path Jade], heading straight into the depths of the "Great Void Secret Realm" to collect it.

Feng Manlou could only droop its body and tail helplessly, letting Shi Yan play with it.

Shi Yan held the [Sword Dao Jade] and the [Sword Guide] in his hands.

She was prepared to make a run for it if things went wrong.

Without thorough preparation, Shi Yan would not have casually offered his life.

At worst, I'll just go back to the Azure Lotus Sword Sect first.

In any case, judging from the feedback from the [Sword Jade], the seals within the Taixu Secret Realm are currently quite stable.

I'll just go back to Nanjun City and copy the little Pixiu over.

What's wrong with having a pet?

It's not a game, so why is there a rule that you can only bring one pet?

One can easily have a Pixiu on the left and a Fengmanlou on the right.

He could even have Xiaxia wrap herself around his waist and hang over him like that.

Master Yan has already entered the "Great Void Secret Realm".

Beneath your feet lies a mirror-like surface as clear as a lake, and everything around you has a touch of ink painting charm.

Not far away, a painted red plum blossom was in full bloom. Butterflies, out of season, landed on the red plum blossom canvas and occasionally flapped their wings.

Shi Yan is actually very familiar with this kind of scene.

The atmosphere was similar in front of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" during the "Sword Tomb" competition, except that the competition at that time was rigged and there were biased referees.

Shi Jiuzhou never thought about winning.

As a result, even Ming Zhongqing passed the test of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

Shi Yan looked around at his surroundings.

According to Qin Suhuai and the records in the [Sword Dao Jade], this is the surface of the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

This is the place where the disciples of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect used to train.

By paying a certain amount of spiritual energy, one can create an illusory body with a similar level of swordsmanship cultivation.

The insights gained from fighting against one's own illusory form are often exceptionally rich.

However... more than a decade ago, the "Tai Xu Secret Realm" underwent a strange change, and the disciples who came to challenge it were all troubled by their inner demons.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect then closed the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

But that's far from enough.

The influence of inner demons continues to spread.

Within the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, there are quite a few cultivators like Long Taojia who are locked into a high realm.

Unlike Long Taojia, they weren't facing imminent death. They could still cling to life for a while longer.

But that won't work.

If the future of a sect is locked up, what kind of development can we talk about?

Destruction awaited them.

In the past few days... there have been more and more cases of disciples going astray in their cultivation.

This is also why, besides the factor of immortal inheritance, the sect leader of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect trusted Shi Yan so much that he directly handed over a treasure like the [Sword Dao Jade] to Shi Yan.

There's still a chance to survive if we take a gamble.

If you don't fight, you'll definitely die.

Looking down, Shi Yan gazed at his reflection in the mirror-like lake.

Nothing has changed.

If I had to point out any change... it would be in my eyes.

She has a captivating and alluring charm.

On the contrary, it was Feng Manlou in his arms.

In the shadow beneath the lake, what lay in her arms was not a little kitten at all, but clearly the little cat girl who would sneak up on her day and night when she was not paying attention.

The catgirl huddled in her arms, her legs tucked in, and stared nervously at the lake.

Following the instructions of the Sword Jade, Shi Yan poured another portion of spiritual energy into the Sword Jade. She held the Sword Jade, stretched out her hand, and gently flicked it in front of her.

A yin-yang symbol in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting, shrouded in mist and clouds.

Shi Yan, carrying Feng Manlou, stepped into the Yin-Yang fish passageway.

moment--

The world spun around.

The whole world seemed to spin half a circle with it, and Shi Yan even felt his head shaking.

This is the world inside the 'mirror'.

Shi Yan raised his head.

It was the complete opposite of my dream.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, resembling the bottom of a lake filled with mud.

Beneath my feet... lies a clear, pristine lake, so clean that it reflects the sky.

but--

It's also slightly different.

The master said he could not find the chain.

This is because this is the outer perimeter of the internal formation of the "Tai Xu Secret Realm".

The location where the demons are sealed is even deeper inside.
