Fairy, please don't do this!

"That's more interesting."

Excitement flashed in Gu Jinzhao's eyes, and he dashed forward in a blur!

When the True Yang Sword Technique was activated, the sword intent was like a blazing sun, with rolling heat waves surging and dissolving the surrounding demonic energy instantly.

The Mirror Demon remained unaffected, his Crimson Sky Sword also radiating crimson light as he engaged Gu Jinzhao in battle.

Whatever move Gu Jinchao makes, the Mirror Demon will replicate it, even with greater force.

He was not surprised and remained calm in the face of the situation.

The Mirror Demon doesn't just refer to that giant bronze mirror; from the moment you step into the sixth level, you've been in a world within the mirror.

Within the mirror world, the mirror demon can replicate not only its opponent's cultivation level and techniques, but also their magical artifacts.

What might be a nightmare for others is no challenge for Gu Jinzhao, who is experiencing the sixth cycle of his life.

After all, in the real world, he is a game content creator known for his technical skills.

To be even slightly injured by a boss like Mirror Demon, whom we have already thoroughly figured out, would be an insult.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the Mirror Demon's body flew backward, smashing through several bronze mirrors before crashing heavily to the ground.

"impossible!"

He clutched his chest, his face contorted in rage, his body crisscrossed with sword wounds.

Why is it impossible?

"Who told you to insist on competing with me in skill?"

Gu Jinchao swung his sword, Chixiao, and the True Yang Sword Intent swept across the area, annihilating the life force of the Mirror Demon. All the blood-red bronze mirrors on the sixth floor shattered in response.

With the same equipment and the same cultivation level, even with buffs, how could they possibly be a match for a pro gamer like him?

After defeating the Mirror Demon, Gu Jinzhao walked straight to the largest bronze mirror without stopping.

Where the mirror shattered, a pitch-black vortex slowly emerged, surging and churning with demonic energy.

A fierce roar echoed from the distorted space, as if a powerful demon was trying to break free, but was firmly suppressed by the great formation within the Demon Suppression Tower.

This is the Nine Nether Rift.

Because of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the demons cannot cross the line.

If a powerful demon forces its way in, the Demon Suppression Tower will shake, attracting powerful members of the Qingyun Sect to suppress it.

The monsters on the first to sixth floors of the tower are all fish that escaped from the cracks.

In the game, Wan Qingsong destroyed the Demon Suppression Tower, causing the rift to expand rapidly, allowing demons to swarm out, and leading to the destruction of the Qingyun Sect.

An Wanxi was sealed in a hidden space between the Nine Netherworlds and Qingzhou.

The reason why the Nine Nether Demon Clan kept attacking this rift was because they were attracted by the dense demonic energy emanating from her body.

They thought it was a member of their own kind who had been sealed off.

Little did they know that if they truly helped them break the seal, an even more terrifying nightmare awaited them...

Chapter 24, An Wanxi: "Would you betray me?"

As Gu Jinzhao stepped into the space between the Nine Netherworlds and the Nine Provinces, the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless darkness.

There are no mountains or rivers here, no sun, moon or stars, only boundless darkness!

In the void, a huge bronze coffin floated silently.

Ancient array patterns were engraved on the coffin, which transformed into eight thick black iron chains, as thick as dragons, extending out and firmly rooted in the eight directions.

"Eight Desolate Demon Suppression Formation".

Looking at the large formation before him, Gu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow.

This formation has eight array patterns, which transform into eight chains corresponding to the eight trigrams, subtly aligning with the rotation of the heavens and containing sixty-four variations.

Each broken chain of array patterns triggers one of the eight hexagram transformations, which then regenerate.

To break the chains, one must follow the sixty-four transformations of the hexagrams and strike with sixty-five swords, causing all eight chains to snap simultaneously at the same moment.

Otherwise, the entire formation will reverse its orientation, turning into a deadly situation!

Gu Jinzhao's mind raced through the strategies for breaking formations in the game, and his spiritual power surged suddenly, causing the Crimson Sky Sword to emerge.

The sword's edge, like a rainbow piercing the sun, suddenly illuminated the entire dim little world.

The first sword strike was aimed at the Kanshui Chain to the due north.

Sparks flew, the chains trembled violently, and the incantations on them flickered wildly, but in the end, they could not withstand the sharpness of the semi-divine artifact and a deep gash appeared!

Before the sword strike was fully retracted, Gu Jinchao flipped his wrist and delivered another fierce horizontal slash.

The second sword strike is the Qian Tian Chain from the northwest.

The third sword strike is a chain of thunderbolts from the due east direction.

The fourth sword, the Genshan Chain in the northeast direction.

Each sword strike left a gap of consistent depth on the corresponding chain.

Gu Jinchao's figure was as fast as a ghost, and the Chixiao sword in his hand was only a blur of afterimages flying around. Countless sword beams poured down like a sudden rain.

Until the sixty-fifth sword was swung, all eight chains collapsed, and the ancient coffin crashed to the ground.

"Luckily, I have a good memory, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to break through this formation."

Gu Jinzhao let out a long sigh of relief, withdrew Chixiao, and then slowly stepped forward, placing his hands on the coffin lid and pushing it open forcefully.

A face so beautiful it was almost otherworldly came into view.

She had long, narrow eyebrows, a high, straight nose, and full, red lips.

Especially her peach blossom eyes, which were extremely captivating, with a touch of crimson at the corners and rare dark purple pupils, but her gaze was empty, as if she had lost all her charm.

Looking down, her hands and feet were each tightly bound by a chain engraved with demon-suppressing runes, her posture pitiful and lonely.

Gu Jinzhao was sizing up An Wanxi, while An Wanxi was also quietly gazing at the man in front of her.

This was the first time in a thousand years that she had seen the world outside the coffin, and the first time she had seen a living person.

He was an extremely handsome young man, with a face like jade, eyes like deep pools, and an air of elegance like a noble gentleman who had stepped out of a painting.

After a long silence, Gu Jinzhao finally broke the silence: "I want to make a deal with you."

An Wanxi's voice was alluring and seductive, yet her tone was icy cold: "What deal?"

Gu Jinzhao cut to the chase: "I will help you escape your predicament, retrieve your remaining three divine souls, and help you be reborn."

"And you must help me cultivate the Six Elements True Demon Technique."

An Wanxi said calmly, "Do you know that once I am born, the entire Nine Provinces will be plunged into turmoil?"

She did not question Gu Jinzhao's abilities; his ability to break the Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Formation spoke for itself.

As for who he is, and why he knows her identity and the place of the seal, none of that matters now.

Gu Jinzhao said frankly, "I bear a portion of the dynasty's fortune, which should be able to suppress the demonic nature within you."

An Wanxi looked at him, but gently shook her head: "The dynasty's fortune... cannot suppress the demonic nature within me."

Gu Jinchao frowned slightly.

In the game, he attempted to break the seal and release An Wanxi.

At that time, she was not corrupted by demonic influence.

Therefore, Gu Jinchao always believed that it was his own imperial fortune that had a suppressive effect.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

Could there be other secrets hidden within me?

As if to confirm his idea, An Wanxi narrowed her captivating peach blossom eyes slightly: "But I can feel... a special aura on you that can keep me from being affected by demonic influence."

Gu Jinchao pressed further, "What kind of aura is it?"

An Wanxi frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes: "I... can't explain it either."

Gu Jinzhao was silent for a moment: "In that case, can the deal be made?"

An Wanxi neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply gazed at him intently: "Would you betray me?"

She had no idea how many years she had been in that cold bronze coffin.

It may be a hundred years, or it may be a thousand years.

But those memories of betrayal remain as vivid as ever.

She was born in a small tribe of the Gu clan, and from the time she could remember, she lived a life of hardship, often going hungry.

But she once had a home, with a father and a mother.

An Wanxi once secretly vowed to make her parents live a good life, so that they would no longer go hungry and could eat meat every day.

Therefore, she cultivated diligently, yearning to become a true Gu cultivator.

Even though practicing Gu techniques requires venturing deep into the mountains every day, and being bitten all over his body by various poisonous insects and strange birds, he never gave up.

Then one day, my younger brother was born.

The younger brother, still an infant, was unable to speak, but the tribe's priests used secret methods to determine that he possessed top-tier cultivation talent.

However, the tribe was struggling to even have enough to eat, so where would they get the luxury of cultivation resources to support his growth?

An Wanxi's parents were unwilling to accept this.

They set their sights on their daughter.

Ordinary members of the Gu clan have Gu worms implanted in their bodies from a young age, which are then fed with their own blood essence, allowing the Gu worms to gradually integrate with their bodies, and then they learn the corresponding Gu techniques.

Gu are divided into six categories: power Gu, illusion Gu, shadow Gu, poison Gu, life Gu, and life Gu.

Those with abundant Qi and blood can cultivate the Power Gu.

Those with intelligent minds are suitable for being infected with the Soul Gu.

Those with agile physiques are suitable for planting Shadow Gu...

An Wanxi has a special physique, which allows her to contain six types of Gu worms at the same time. However, her aptitude for cultivating Gu techniques is mediocre, and even becoming a Gu cultivator is a luxury.

Just then, a female chieftain from a large tribe came to her door, took a liking to her physique, and offered to exchange cultivation resources and food for it.

An Wanxi's parents... agreed.

That was the first time she had been abandoned and betrayed.

The people who betrayed her were her father and mother.

Even so, An Wanxi harbored no resentment and silently followed the female clan leader away from that so-called "home".

The female clan leader brought out various kinds of Gu insects and used their blood to make Gu soup, which she soaked in day and night, claiming that this was the only way to activate the "Heavenly Gu Body".

The process was extremely painful, as if a thousand poisonous creatures were gnawing at her, torturing her until she was barely recognizable as human.

But An Wanxi gritted her teeth and endured it, eventually succeeding in joining the ranks of Gu cultivators.

It was at that time that the female clan leader recognized her, adopted her as her goddaughter, and passed on the "Six Elements True Demon Technique".

Chapter 25, By sealing this curse, you and I shall be husband and wife.

The Six Elements True Demon Technique is extremely powerful, enabling An Wanxi to possess the power of six kinds of Gu at the same time, but only those with a true [Heavenly Gu Body] can cultivate it.

And that's only the first condition!

The second condition is that one must devour demons, which are even more ferocious than Gu, in order to refine the Six Gu.

An Wanxi had no aversion to this; in fact, one could say she was eager to try it.

This is because the demon race is brutal and has always regarded the living beings of the Nine Provinces as food for them.

Her tribe had also been slaughtered by the demons.

After that, An Wanxi hunted down demons and used this opportunity to learn the "Six Elements True Demon Technique," and her strength began to rise rapidly.
