After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Several floating fairy mountains crashed, several forests were dug out with huge trenches, and several mountain peaks turned into black crystalline layers.

There are also many places with meteorite craters.

It should be noted that when Zhou Yan went to Nantianmen and Lingshan before, he never encountered such extensive environmental damage.

The three of them went down the stairs to the very bottom and arrived at the mountain gate with the words "Jade Pool" written on it.

There is a soft barrier in front of the mountain gate, enveloping the environment of Yaochi like an egg.

However, because the Yaochi had been destroyed for quite some time, the outermost layer of restrictions was fine for prisoners, but Zhou Yan, Xiao Yanjun, and Lin Anru tore through the restrictions without much effort and arrived at the steps of the Yaochi gate.

"Wait a moment……"

As soon as the three of them stepped onto the stairs, Zhou Yan suddenly called out.

Little Yama looked at Zhou Yan from Lin'an.

Zhou Yan looked down at the dust on the steps.

“I can see the footprints left in these places.”

There were three pairs of footprints on the steps in front of the door: those of Zhongdou Xingjun, Lu Wu, and a guy who made Zhou Yan look a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Yan was taken aback.

"Were there actually three gods who came looking for Yaochi back then?"

Lin'an, who was standing at the very front, asked.

"Three? Which three?"

Zhou Yan said in a deep voice.

"Lu Wu, Zhongdou Xingjun, and... Jiutian Xuannü..."

Xiao Yanjun and Lin Anru felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

These three gods are all formidable characters, and now all three are trapped in this Jade Pool...

This Jade Pool is so terrifying! [0+. Seven;”: SOUSuO: How terrible?]

"but……"

Zhou Yan stared at the golden gate of Yaochi.

"I didn't sense much danger in this place. Perhaps when Zhongdou Xingjun, Lu Wu, and Jiutian Xuannv arrived, they had already eliminated all the dangers."

"In any case, let's follow the trail left by Zhongdou Xingjun and his group and see how it goes."

Zhou Yan suggested.

Lin'an tactfully gave up the front seat.

Zhou Yan lowered his head, followed the footprints to find the gate to Yaochi, and went inside.

Behind the gate of Yaochi is a meadow, and in the center of the meadow is a walkway paved with bluestone slabs. The walkway is straight and looks very strange.

The newly arrived Little Yama King glanced at it and chuckled.

“This walkway must have been crooked before, but Lu Wu straightened it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan looked at both sides of the road and noticed that even the length and width of the lawn were the same.

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh.

"How much suffering must Lu Wu have endured? How come such advanced obsessive-compulsive disorder didn't drive him crazy?"

Zhou Yan looked down at the marks on the bluestone slab. This Jade Pool had been silent for hundreds of years. Lu Wu, Zhongdou Xingjun, and Jiutian Xuannv were probably the only group of people to break this silence.

As a result, the marks on the ground have not faded for hundreds of years. When Zhou Yan looked at them, he found that the marks were extremely clear.

"Hey, I suddenly realized something." Search: 85♀*6※◎∠|｝‰陑

Zhou Yan looked at Lu Wu's footprints, then at the footprints of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"Lu Wu's body is in the golden ratio, and every part of his body conforms to the golden ratio."

Little Yama echoed.

"Nonsense, with such obsessive-compulsive disorder, how could you not optimize your body to its best?"

Zhou Yan then looked at the footprints of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and said.

"But my omniscience tells me that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is truly good; she is slightly plump and has a fleshy figure."

Little Yama was shocked.

"A slightly plump young woman! She's absolutely gorgeous."

Little Yama was grooming himself to look like a slightly plump young woman.

Lin'an, who was standing nearby, coughed.

Zhou Yan and Little Yama immediately composed themselves.

Lin'an was displeased.

"I'm also slightly chubby."

Zhou Yan didn't dare to reply, and could only lower his head and walk forward along the bluestone path.

After walking along the bluestone path, you will arrive at a palace area called Juxian Pavilion.

This palace complex appears to be a place for lodging and dining, with many courtyards, gardens, artificial ponds, and various sacred trees and plants.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and her entourage nimbly passed through the Gathering Immortals Pavilion and arrived at a flat area with obvious signs of battle and meteorite craters everywhere.

Moving forward along the crater, there are mountains that once floated in the air but have now crashed to the ground, followed by several sword marks that have cleaved the mountains in two.

The traces of the earth-shattering battle stretched for thousands of miles, causing Zhou Bayan, Xiao Yanjun, and Lin Anru, who had followed along, to frown deeply.

What kind of people are Zhongdou Xingjun, Lu Wu, and Jiutian Xuannv, these three true gods combined, that can fight them to a standstill, and even kill them all?

The traces of the battle stretched all the way to the front of the Peach Garden.

The Peach Garden was built on a mountaintop brimming with spiritual energy, surrounded by dozens of statues of divine generals. However, they are now all broken, with fragments of the statues scattered all over the ground like piles of garbage.

Amidst the rubble of the divine general sculpture, the gate to the Peach Garden stands open, and a beautiful young woman sits cross-legged in mid-air at the entrance.

Zhou Yan and his two companions arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Peach Garden was located. They stared in disbelief at the signboard of the Peach Garden, and then looked at the young woman at the entrance.

Zhou Yan opened the young woman's profile page.

Name: Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady

Zhou Yan: "..."

Little Yama, who was next to Zhou Yan, tugged at Zhou Yan's sleeve.

"Is it that top-quality one?"

Zhou Yan smiled wryly.

"Hmm, it's the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. She's actually come all the way to the Peach Garden?"

Little Yama added a sentence.

"And he died."

As soon as Little Yama finished speaking, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was floating cross-legged in front of the Peach Garden, opened her eyes and looked down at Zhou Yan and Little Yama with lightning speed. Then she opened her mouth and said coldly.

　i￠＝∶＞〕♂iba search "Q: "Bai Ze..."

"...White-haired beast!"

This chapter has not been approved.

Upon hearing the words "white-haired beast," Zhou Yan's first reaction was to turn and run away.

My second reaction was that there was no danger.

The slightly plump young woman opposite, Jiutian Xuannv, was saying "white-haired beast" but there was no harshness or anger in her tone. Zhou Yan's sense of danger did not detect any danger from Jiutian Xuannv.

This suggests two things: either the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't actually intend to harm him, or the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had weakened to the point that she couldn't even harm this white-haired beast.

"Cough cough..."

The little Yama King in her loli form stepped out and stood in front of Zhou Yan. However, at this time, the little Yama King was short and could only cover Zhou Yan's chest and below. Zhou Yan's head was still sticking out of the little Yama King's head.

"You must be the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden?"

Little Yama bowed to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, seated cross-legged in mid-air, nodded silently.

Little Yama lowered his clasped hands and spoke again.

"I am the Ghost Emperor of the Central Underworld. Mysterious Maiden, do you know why I have come here?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden thought for a moment and then asked.

"The Magpie Bridge is broken; has it affected the human world as well?"

Lin Anru couldn't hold back any longer. She walked up to Little Yama and angrily addressed the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"Did you sever the Magpie Bridge?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden shook her head slightly.

"We have come to seek the Jade Pool and return to the Heavenly Realm. What are you doing, cutting off the Magpie Bridge?"

If Lin'an doesn't believe it.

"If you don't sever the Magpie Bridge, how can it break?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's tone was somber.

"Because the Magpie Bridge Fairy in the Jade Pool died."

Little Yama was curious.

"Mysterious Maiden, do you mean there are still living immortals in the Jade Pool, and then you fought for some reasons that cannot be told to outsiders, and then the Magpie Bridge Fairy died?"

The Mystic Maiden shook her head.

"The Magpie Bridge Fairy is long dead..."

Zhou Yan, Little Yama, and Lin Anru all showed confused expressions.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden turned her bright eyes toward Zhou Yan.

"Actually, you're the one who told me about this."

Zhou Yan pointed to himself.

"What should I tell you?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said sadly.

"Back then, the Weaver Girl descended to the mortal realm to fulfill her destiny and became a mortal to marry the Cowherd. However, she was married to the wrong person; she should have been married to the Magpie Bridge Fairy."

Zhou Yan: "Σ(゜ロ゜;)"

Little Yama: "(?_?)"

Lin'an Ru: "(?△?;?)?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not understand.

"Don't you understand?"

Little Yama hurriedly said.

"I understand, I understand. I was wondering how a farmer like Niulang could be worthy of a celestial being. So it turns out he's a celestial being undergoing tribulation?"

As mentioned before, in ancient times, demons cultivated by completing one cycle of tribulation.

In the words of the Daoist patriarch Ge Hong, a tree takes one thunderbolt as one tribulation, a beast takes one death as one tribulation, a fish takes one drought as one tribulation, and an insect takes one fire as one tribulation. A tree that has undergone twenty-one tribulations is called a demon, and a tree that has undergone thirty-six tribulations is called a demon ancestor.

Humans who cultivate can become immortals by passing through three calamities, six tribulations, and seventy-two lightning tribulations. The more tribulations they undergo, the stronger their supernatural powers and cultivation become.

The seven celestial maidens, being goddesses, would often descend to the mortal realm to manifest in different forms and undergo tribulations. Perhaps it was fate that brought the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl together, leading to their marriage.

Therefore, the Weaver Girl at that time was not a celestial being, but merely a mortal.

If Little Yama is not mistaken, after the Weaver Girl gave birth to two children for the Cowherd, she was captured by the Jade Emperor. This capture may just be a metaphor; the truth is that the Weaver Girl's human form died.

The tribulations of immortals arise in response to karmic conditions, and cease when those conditions are exhausted.
