"You should know what to do, right?"

"I will immediately seal off this place and forbid any demons from setting foot here."

The Purple Demon immediately unleashed its demonic energy, enveloping the cave within a radius of a thousand feet.

A glint of light flashed in Gu Jinzhao's eyes as he continued, "Seal that crack in half an hour."

"To prevent Shi Youming from being defeated, those two first-rank human race members broke into Cangyou."

The [Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun Formation] has already been set up, and now it can be activated as soon as the Azure Desert Hunting Ceremony begins.

Of course, at that time there would be no need to enter the Nine Netherworlds again.

With just the array plate in hand, one can control the great array.

During this period, no accidents can be allowed to happen.

In particular, Shi Youming must not be allowed to enter Cangyou, otherwise all previous efforts will be in vain.

As for the Demon Lord, it is unknown how many years it will take for him to awaken from his slumber.

Gu Jinchao naturally didn't need to worry about this matter being exposed.

With that thought in mind, he turned to leave.

Zi Mo was somewhat puzzled: "You want to go back to Kyushu?"

Even if the Earth Demon possesses a human's body, it cannot isolate its immense demonic energy and will be easily detected.

Given the hatred that the three races of humans, demons, and monsters in Kyushu harbor towards the demon race, they would certainly spare no effort to annihilate such a powerful demon race once they discover it.

"I possess a treasure that can conceal my demonic aura."

"They can't detect my presence..."

Gu Jinzhao left only one sentence before turning around and rushing back in the direction he had come from.

Before long, they returned to the Misty Swamp.

Seeing him appear unharmed, Yuechu'e finally felt relieved and slowly went to greet him: "How are you?"

Gu Jinzhao smiled and handed over the array plate: "The great array has been set up!"

"When the Desert Hunting Ceremony begins, Madam can revive this formation!"

Yuechu'e took the array plate and solemnly put it into her storage ring. A charming smile bloomed on her beautiful face: "I'm sorry to trouble Young Master Gu with the affairs of the Moth Phoenix Clan."

If it weren't for her, Gu Jinzhao wouldn't have needed to get involved in this mess, much less risk entering the Nine Netherworld.

Gu Jinzhao grasped that soft, boneless hand and chuckled, "I'm really not used to your politeness, Madam!"

"You..."

Yuechu'e gave him a charmingly reproachful look, and was about to say something when a kind and pleasant voice interrupted her.

"I hope I haven't disturbed your romantic rendezvous?"

Chapter 375, Heavenly Mother: "Did I disturb your romantic rendezvous?" [Part 2] (3K)

"I hope I haven't disturbed your romantic rendezvous?"

Gu Jinzhao and Yuechu'e both looked up when they heard the familiar voice.

A graceful figure, dressed in a moon-white long dress and wearing an ice-carved mask, slowly emerged.

"The Heavenly Mother?"

Gu Jinzhao was filled with doubt.

In the original storyline of the game, the battle of divine senses between the three first-rank beings should not have ended at this time.

Once he emerges from the Nine Netherworlds, the rift will be completely sealed by the Purple Demon, severing the passage between the Nine Provinces and the Nine Netherworlds. At that time, the Netherworld and the Heavenly Mother will lose their target, and the war will finally subside.

But now, the Heavenly Mother has appeared here.

Something has clearly changed!

As if sensing something, Yue'e transmitted her voice, saying, "This is a projection manifested by the Heavenly Mother using Daoist principles, not the presence of that divine thought in person."

Gu Jinchao pondered, "So, it was the Heavenly Mother who discovered the changes in the Nine Nether Rift and descended here with her Daoist aura?"

The red lips beneath the ice sculpture mask of the Heavenly Mother moved slightly, her voice still kind and gentle: "You two need not be nervous, I have no ill intentions in coming here."

"I just want to make a deal with you two."

Gu Jinchao looked slightly puzzled. "What kind of deal does the Heavenly Mother want with us?"

The Heavenly Mother spoke softly: "I possess a secret realm, within which grows a Yin-Yang Harmony Flower."

Upon hearing this name, both Gu Jinzhao and Yuechu'e's eyes flickered.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Flower, a celestial and spiritual treasure!

The [Harmony Pill], made primarily from this flower, can greatly increase the success rate of a second-grade cultivator attempting to reach the first-grade Harmony Heaven and Earth realm, making it a peerless treasure.

The Heavenly Mother continued, "You two only need to enter the secret realm and retrieve this flower for me."

"Once this is done, your obstruction of my acquisition of the [Prison Dragon Vein] will be wiped clean."

"Of course, you two may also refuse."

"But at that time, I will not be so polite to you, or even the entire Moth Phoenix Clan."

Upon hearing these threatening words, a chill ran through Yue'e's eyes.

Gu Jinchao pressed down on the beautiful woman's soft hand, signaling her to calm down: "With the Heavenly Mother's power, why doesn't she go and fetch it herself?"

The Heavenly Mother gently shook her head: "This secret realm was left behind by a being who had stepped into the half-step super-grade realm. In order to help his Daoist partner break through to the first grade realm and seek the Great Dao together, he devoted all his efforts to cultivating this Yin-Yang Harmony Dao Flower."

"It's a pity that on the day the spiritual flower matured, her Daoist partner's lifespan had ended, and the Great Dao had come to nothing."

"In his despair, he sealed the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower along with the secret realm, leaving it for someone destined to find it."

"If I were to force my way in, not only would the secret realm collapse and be annihilated, but the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower within would also vanish into nothingness."

Gu Jinzhao asked in bewilderment, "Why is the Heavenly Mother so certain that my wife and I are the destined ones?"

"Because the master of this secret realm is human, and his Daoist partner is a demon!"

The Heavenly Mother's gaze fell upon the two: "I observe that the two of you are entangled in karma, and the red thread has been tied. Perhaps we can give it a try."

"Most importantly, to pluck the flower of Yin and Yang harmony, one needs a man and a woman who are in sync with each other."

Yue'e asked, "What if we fail to obtain the Flower of Union?"

The Heavenly Mother said calmly, "As long as you two do your best, I will not make things difficult for you, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or fails."

Gu Jinzhao and Yuechu'e exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

With the safety of the entire clan as collateral and the matter of the [Prison Dragon Vein] as the trigger, they seem to have little room for choice.

Gu Jinzhao replied in a deep voice, "We will enter the secret realm to retrieve the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower for the Heavenly Mother!"

The Heavenly Mother didn't say much, but simply waved her sleeve, and a stone tablet emerged from it, growing larger in the wind!

hum-

Ripples spread across the void, instantly transforming into a stone gate about three zhang high, within which a misty, ethereal atmosphere wafted.

The Heavenly Mother raised her hand in a gesture of invitation: "Please, both of you!"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath, gripped Yuechu'e's soft hand, and stepped into the stone gate.

As the light and shadow shifted, I found myself in a strange and wondrous world.

Beneath our feet was suspended in the void, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist.

Looking down, one sees an endless white plain, like a piece of plain silk spread out, stretching to the horizon.

Beyond the plains lie towering mountains and forests, their dark green canopies appearing exceptionally deep against the backdrop of snow.

Gu Jinchao sensed the extremely chaotic energy of heaven and earth, and his gaze narrowed slightly: "Something's not right here!"

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled groan came from beside him.

The stunningly beautiful noblewoman beside him trembled and plummeted straight down from mid-air!

"lady!"

Gu Jinzhao reacted quickly, and in a flash, he pulled her into his arms and gently landed on the ground.

But he could feel that the once warm and soft body had become icy cold, as if he were embracing a snow-capped mountain.

Gu Jinchao asked urgently, "What's wrong with Madam?"

Yuechu'e's face was as pale as paper, and her lips were covered with a thin layer of frost: "The yin energy in my body... I don't know why it has all turned into coldness."

As she spoke, her eyelashes and hair tips gradually formed tiny ice crystals, and she curled up in his arms, trembling uncontrollably.

Gu Jinzhao grasped her wrist, carefully felt it for a moment, and then frowned.

As Yue'e said, the yin energy in her body turned into a bone-chilling cold, freezing her internal organs and even stopping the flow of demonic energy and blood.

Gu Jinzhao dared not hesitate and immediately channeled his true yang fire to dispel the chill from her: "Why is the yin energy in your body turning cold, yet I do not feel any discomfort?"

Yuechu'e's mature and melodious voice trembled slightly: "It may be the Great Dao left behind by that half-step transcendent one, which merged with the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower... affecting the rules of the secret realm."

"Now only the 'yin' side has been revealed, and I am a woman, and my constitution is yin, so I am harmed by it."

"Young master is a man, and his constitution is yang, so he is temporarily unharmed..."

Gu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow, thinking that it was indeed possible.

Because the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower is a celestial and spiritual object that harmonizes Yin and Yang.

If the rules of the secret realm are affected by it, it will naturally have different effects on men and women.

"We must find the Yin-Yang Harmony Flower as soon as possible!"

Gu Jinzhao made a decisive move, carrying Yuechu'e on his back and flying swiftly towards the direction where the Yin and Yang energies were most concentrated.

During the flight, he continued to use the true yang fire to dispel the cold for her.

However, it took about half an hour.

The fog suddenly thickened, obscuring our vision with a white mist.

Gu Jinchao used his divine sense to explore the path, but found that the space seemed to be distorted and looping, and he had returned to the starting point.

He tried again, and found it was still the same!

Yuechu'e nestled on his back and softly parted her lips: "The sky is acting strangely, let's go down the ground..."

"it is good!"

Gu Jinzhao shared the same thought and immediately landed.

Once their feet were firmly planted on solid ground, they were no longer affected by the eerie fog.

He immediately carried Yuechu'e on his back, transformed into a streak of light, and sped forward.

The snow-covered plains stretched endlessly, and the mountains and forests were silent.

Gu Jinzhao had been running for an unknown amount of time, and the sky was gradually darkening.

The world, which was originally just slightly chilly, suddenly became swept by howling winds, swirling up frost and snow.

Even though Gu Jinchao was skilled in both martial arts and divine arts, possessed a strong physique, and had the protection of the supreme yang technique, he gradually found it difficult to withstand the power of heaven and earth.

On his back, Yuechu'e was covered in frost, like an ice sculpture, and even her breathing became barely audible.

"We can't go any further!"

Gu Jinchao found a sheltered mountain wall, pointed his fingers like a sword, and unleashed the True Yang Sword Intent!

boom--

A cave several meters deep was blasted into the mountainside.

He flashed in and unleashed the [World-Suppressing Tower] with a backhand.

The ancient pagoda floats above the cave entrance, casting a pale golden light that keeps out the raging wind, snow, and cold.

Inside the cave, there was finally a moment of peace.

Gu Jinchao gently placed Yuechu'e on a flat stone, took out a pill and fed it to her, using his spiritual power to neutralize the medicinal effects, and softly asked, "How do you feel?"
