After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

"Sister Yunshang is very good."

Hearing Ruo Chuqing's words, Shi Yan seemed to have thought of something.

The most important thing right now is to comfort the aggrieved Hua Xiangrong, and also... figure out how to defeat that Huale Tianmo.

Shi Yan sat in the chair and, under Hua Xiangrong's expectant gaze, pulled her into his arms.

The two sat facing each other. Hua Xiangrong sat on Shi Yan's lap, her little head buried in Shi Yan's chest, listening to the girl's heartbeat.

She rubbed against Shi Yan's chest, as if trying to cover up the fragrance Feng Manlou had left on him.

"Where's Yunyi?" Shi Yan asked, putting his arm around Hua Xiangrong's shoulder.

Just as she passed through the ripples, she seemed to see Yunyi's figure intersecting with her own.

He hasn't come back yet...

Shi Yan was very worried.

Hua Xiangrong simply turned her head away.

Ripples appeared in the air once again.

A cold-faced woman named Yunyi appeared barefoot before Shiyan. She set down the white jade zither she was carrying and bowed respectfully to Shiyan, saying, "Miss Shiyan—"

If Shi Yan hadn't been holding Hua Xiangrong, he really would have pulled Yunyi over and turned her around to check if she was hurt.

However, based on experience in the game...

Yunyi's clothes were intact and her complexion was good, so she should not be injured.

"Are you alright..." Shi Yan asked with concern.

Yunyi shook her head, "The sealed Huale Heavenly Demon..."

"It's alright."

Shi Yan looked at Yun Yi.

Yunyi... seems to know a lot.

She asked Yunyi directly, "Does Yunyi know anything about the Huale Tianmo?"

There's no need for me and Yunyi to go through all that trouble.

Based on my level of affection with Yunyi, I should just ask directly.

Yunyi would definitely tell herself what she could tell herself.

Yunyi looked at Shiyan, then nodded slightly, "That Huale Tianmo..."

at the same time--

Within the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, Sheng Nu, who was deeply moved by the arrival of all the important figures—elders, sect leaders, and key figures—at Little Sword Peak, also heard a similar answer.

"It is an otherworldly demon who signed a pact with the Lord of Loulan a thousand years ago."

“But…” A glint of tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and Yunyi’s right hand gently touched the strings of the zither.

"After the Lord of Loulan perished."

"He was sealed away by the immortals in the deepest part of the 'Great Void Secret Realm'."

Yunyi looked at Shiyan.

"Master Shi Yan..."

"You met her far too early...so early that we didn't even have time to warn you."

"You must bring the 'Soul of Exorcism' with you to the 'Secret Realm of the Great Void.'"

"A little Pixiu?" Shi Yan had already guessed that he had brought the wrong pet.

I should have brought the little Pixiu with me.

But... what can a little Pixiu do?

The little Pixiu is merely a "Soul of Warding Off Evil" at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Yunyi looked at Shiyan, as if she had guessed Shiyan's doubts.

"actually..."

"The 'Tai Xu Secret Realm' also has another name."

"It is..."

"The Tomb of the Pixiu".

"A Pixiu...tomb!?"

Hearing Yunyi's words, Shi Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Mm." Yunyi nodded gently, glancing at Hua Xiangrong in Shi Yan's arms.

Then he said somewhat heavily.

"That's where the little Pixiu's remains were buried."

Shi Yan fell silent.

I once thought that there must be some kind of inexplicable relationship between the "Secret Realm of the Great Void" and the little Pixiu.

For example, it might be the territory of a Pixiu, or a place similar to an 'elephant graveyard' where the remains of other Pixiu are buried.

But... that was actually the little Pixiu's own graveyard.

This was something Shi Yan never expected.

She glanced around at the cabinet in Yinghua City.

Thankfully... the little Pixiu didn't come to Yinghua Market today.

Although the little Pixiu's failure to directly enter Yinghua City will take up a lot of time, anyway...

Discussing her burial plot in front of the little Pixiu.

Shi Yan still felt that something was off.

“A thousand years ago… the Lord of Loulan… fed the demon with his own body, becoming the Demon Lord for all time.” Gazing tenderly at Hua Xiangrong in Shi Yan’s arms, Yunyi recounted the secret that Shi Yan had heard countless times before.

Behind Yunyi, Yunshang also changed from her silly and foolish appearance to an expression that was almost sorrowful.

Even Xiao Ruochuqing, who was learning to read while sitting in Yunshang's lap, sensed her older sister's unusual behavior.

The little girl hugged the kitten and gently tugged at Yunshang's sleeve a few times.

Yunshang simply hugged Ruo Chuqing closer to her and ruffled the girl's hair.

The teacher's words were clear.

Yunyi wouldn't bring up that past event without a reason.

"To feed the demon with one's own body?" Shi Yan instinctively grasped the essence of Yun Yi's words.

"Yes." Yunyi nodded gently.

"The Lord of Loulan fed the demon with her own body, and the 'demon' she fed... came from beyond the heavens... the Demon of Hualetian."

Yunyi's expression gradually became solemn. "Among all the extraterrestrial demons, they are almost the most dangerous beings, without exception."

"The Demon of Transformation and Joy, she is the lord of the Heaven of Transformation and Freedom."

"Besides the Lord of the Joyful Heaven, the Lord of the Noble Heaven, and the Great Lord of Liberty..."

"In the Outer Heavens, her strength is almost second only to one demon and above ten thousand demons."

"but--"

"She is even more terrifying than the Great Freedom Demon."

As if recalling the calamity of a thousand years ago, Yunyi's expression grew increasingly heavy, her eyes seeming to flash with the light of gunfire and blades, and she bit her lip.

“Compared to the Great Free Demon who has almost no interest in the mortal world... the Pure Color Mandala is full of desire for everything in the world.” Yunyi looked at Shiyan with a complicated expression, emphasizing the word 'almost'.

She doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.

"Whether the person in front of you is an incompetent cultivator at the Body Tempering Realm or a top-tier cultivator about to ascend to immortality."

"In front of the Demon of Transcendent Joy, they are nothing more than food for her."

The master understood Yunyi's meaning.

If we divide them according to the nine-square grid of factions, then the Great Freedom Demon mentioned by Yunyi should be [Neutral Evil].

And that pure-colored mandala... is the most terrifying [chaotic evil].

She is the destroyer.

He's the kind of guy who could turn the world upside down.

One has to admire the audacity of the Lord of Loulan, for daring to sign a contract with such a scoundrel.

At the same time... Shi Yan was also silently evaluating himself.

I don't think I'm doing much better myself.

It wavers between [Chaotic Neutral] and [Chaotic Good].

I am a genuine player.

The fourth natural disaster.

"After the Lord of Loulan perished... the Pure Color Mandala did not return to the Outer Heavens." Yunyi sighed softly, "Or rather..."

"She can never go back."

"To seal her away, the divine beast beside the Fairy of Yaotai—"

"The last Pixiu in this world chose to sacrifice itself."

"The entire 'Primordial Void Realm' is her body."

“Every chain that locks the pure color mandala is formed from her bones, blood, and scales.”
