901: Under the Purple Fire Mountain, the mysterious furnace

“Ah?”

The three Elders of Jade Maiden Mountain were stunned, what was happening?

“Ying and I are already Dao Companions.”

Mo Liyue stepped forward and linked arms with Chu Ying, leaning intimately and ambiguously into his embrace.

Seeing this scene, the three widened their eyes in surprise.

But then, a wave of ecstasy rose within them.

“So that’s how it is! You should have said so earlier!”

“Li Yue, you must get along well with Young Master Ying. Although you are young, you must learn to take care of others.”

“Young Master Ying, if Li Yue has done anything to displease you, please be more forgiving.”

“We will return to Jade Maiden Mountain now. From now on, Li Yue, you can follow Young Master Ying. We will transfer your position…”

The three quickly gave a series of instructions and arrangements, their faces beaming with joyful smiles.

Nothing else, it was simply because Jade Maiden Mountain could ally itself with such an immensely powerful and terrifyingly peerless figure. This was absolutely a blessing for their Jade Maiden Mountain!

Even offering these Twin Moon Myth twin sisters was no problem at all!

With such a powerful expert, capable of slaying Nine Tribulation Peak cultivators, as their backing, Jade Maiden Mountain would stand unshakable in the Deeper Starry Sky!

Before, they had been wondering how to get closer to Young Master Ying, as merely having those four Daughters of Luck seemed insufficient.

But now, it was enough!

“…”

Mo Liyue hadn't expected them to be so excited. She sighed softly, speechless, feeling that her former Junior Martial Uncles had now become worldly… Afterwards, Chu Ying and Mo Liyue first led the three Jade Maiden Mountain Elders out of Purple Fire Mountain, and the three also teleported out of the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm without hesitation.

Entering the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm required going to the entrance, but leaving did not; one could directly teleport out by communicating with the Heavenly Dao rules of this place, provided one could successfully communicate.

For example, if one were within Purple Fire Mountain, or other special Secret Realms, entangled with the existences and powers within the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm, then one would be unable to communicate and teleport away.

In a sense, the Heavenly Dao rules of the Tian Yuan Ancient Secret Realm were “alive”.

After sending the three away, Chu Ying and Mo Liyue returned to Purple Fire Mountain.

“They’re gone. Is Li Yue no longer reserved?”

Chu Ying looked amusedly at Mo Liyue, who had leaped up onto him.

“I don’t need to be reserved.”

Mo Liyue blinked her gentle yet noble autumn water eyes, and softly, shyly said, “You are the most powerful Prodigy in this world, powerful beyond description. If I were reserved, what if I accidentally let you run away?”

“I’ll stick to you even if I have to cling.”

Chu Ying was torn between laughter and tears upon hearing this. “Where would I run to?”

“Since Li Yue is now my Dao Companion, I will definitely take you with me from now on, including Yan Yue.”

“Besides, I haven’t even ‘eaten’ you yet, why would I run?”

Mo Liyue’s cheeks flushed, looking incredibly beautiful and shy, “When do you want to ‘eat’ me? I’m ready anytime.”

“Hehe, it depends on my mood.”

Chu Ying smiled playfully. Indeed, powerful strength made a difference. Of course, he was not only powerful but also an unparalleled Prodigy… The Dark Nightmare Flowers within Purple Fire Mountain were continuously cleared by Chu Ying as the two went deeper.

They also found other special spaces sealing Heavenly Demons.

Naturally, Chu Ying cleared all of them. It was everyone’s responsibility to kill Heavenly Demons.

The number of immortal leaves obtained from killing Heavenly Demons was also quite considerable.

When another three hours passed.

Chu Ying and Mo Liyue had already reached the deepest part of Purple Fire Mountain’s bottom, and all other areas and spaces had also been explored by the two.

“What’s at the bottom?”

“I feel like an even more terrifying Heavenly Demon might be sealed here. Chu Ying, you must be careful.”

Mo Liyue showed a worried expression; she had a dangerous premonition.

“Mm, trust me.”

At the deepest part of the ground, a mysterious Three-legged Furnace floated. This furnace was completely black, exuding an ancient and terrifying aura, as if any surrounding power was being devoured.

Mysterious Demonic Patterns were engraved upon it, filling this furnace with a profound demonic power, making one desire to possess it yet also be extremely wary.

It was clearly visible that the furnace’s location was a Formation, and it seemed to be the Formation’s eye, the core of the Formation.

And this Formation sealed a Well Cover that was already overgrown with Dark Nightmare Flowers, various terrifying Demonic Vines, and monstrous creatures baring their fangs and claws!

It was as if opening this Well Cover would unleash an endless stream of Demonic Creatures.

“This furnace…”

Chu Ying’s gaze was deep and profound as he stared at the strange furnace, because there was also a bizarre face pattern on the furnace, half-smiling, half-crying.

If he remembered correctly, he had seen this pattern on his early Demon Seed Sword, and Xi Yao’s Devouring Sword also had this pattern.

And undoubtedly, the Devouring Sword was the Ancient Celestial Empress’s personal sword, and the Ancient Celestial Empress cultivated the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill.

Then this furnace… “It was most likely created by the Ancient Celestial Empress, and perhaps it’s also related to the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill. This is a good treasure!”

The reason the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill was hunted down once it appeared was not because it was despicable, but because it was too terrifying.

If this Demonic Technique were obtained, it would cause great chaos in the world, and countless people would die.

But the Ancient Celestial Empress’s original intention in creating it was not to deal with the Human Race, but to guard the Heavenly Court and deal with external enemies, enemies of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and enemies from beyond the Universe.

“This furnace must be obtained!”

His intuition told Chu Ying that he absolutely could not miss this furnace.

“Chu Ying.” Mo Liyue gripped Chu Ying’s arm; she was very nervous.

“Don’t be afraid.” Chu Ying gently patted her shoulder, wrapped his arm around her waist, and held her tightly in his embrace.

The Immortal Demon Heavenly Dragon Sword floated beside them, ready to deal with any sudden situations.

To obtain this furnace, they would inevitably break the Formation, and then the Well Cover, covered with various Demonic Creatures, would be breached, and inside would likely be the source of the Heavenly Demons in Purple Fire Mountain.

“Heavenly Demons, I can still kill them with side effects…”

Chu Ying’s eyes flickered.

The next second, he reached for the black furnace, which exuded Demonic Qi yet was also immensely majestic and awe-inspiring.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The furnace instantly emitted a violent roar, as if warning Chu Ying.

“I will slay what you have sealed!” Chu Ying spoke with firm resolve. At the same time, his powerful Immeasurable World Origin covered it, and Heavenly Dragon Sword Qi also swept out.

As if sensing Chu Ying’s determination and conviction, the trembling furnace calmed down, and wisps of majestic Demonic Path Qi flowed out.

Now Chu Ying was a hundred percent certain that this furnace had a direct connection with the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill and the Ancient Celestial Empress, perhaps even created by her.

“Acknowledge me as your master, and I will help you slay the Demonic Creatures you have sealed!”

Chu Ying let out a deep shout, his power completely covering it.

More and more majestic Demonic Qi flowed out from the mysterious furnace.

Finally, a peerlessly beautiful female phantom, so ethereal and traceless, so transcendent, inviolable, and beyond blasphemy, quietly emerged from the furnace.
