721: Chapter 721 Lu Xueqi and Biyao (100)

"I will investigate further to ensure no other Demonic Path members are lurking."

The Xuantian Sect Elder did not suspect anything: "Then please be careful, Fairy. We will head back first to deliver the news and have the various sects strengthen their guard."

After seeing them off, Fairy Yuehua returned to the stone platform. The Seal runes had stabilized and were temporarily safe, but she felt a trace of unease in her heart.

Was it truly a coincidence that the Demonic Path appeared in the God-Burying Abyss? Or were they also searching for the chaos green lotus?

"I must speed up." Fairy Yuehua no longer hesitated and continued downward.

After descending another thousand miles, the black mist had become so thick it was inseparable. Fairy Yuehua's Bright Moon Domain was compressed to just one zhang around her, and her spiritual power was being consumed rapidly. She had to frequently consume Medicinal Pills, but she had very few left.

"According to ancient records, the chaos green lotus should be somewhere nearby." Fairy Yuehua forced herself to stay alert and sensed carefully.

The chaos green lotus was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, completely out of place with its surroundings, so it should be easy to find. However, she searched for dozens of miles around and found nothing.

"Could the records be wrong?" Fairy Yuehua's heart sank.

Just then, the jade pendant on her chest suddenly grew slightly warm. This was the jade pendant Su Han had given her, which she always wore close to her body.

"This is..." Fairy Yuehua's heart stirred as she took out the jade pendant. She saw it emitting a faint glow, pointing in a certain direction.

"The jade pendant is guiding me?" Both surprised and delighted, Fairy Yuehua followed the direction indicated by the jade pendant.

The further she went, the thinner the black mist became, until it finally disappeared completely. A valley appeared before her eyes, filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, abundant with Spiritual Qi, forming a sharp contrast with the deathly silence outside.

In the center of the valley was a small lake, its water so clear the bottom was visible. In the middle of the lake, a green lotus bloomed quietly.

The lotus had nine petals and was entirely emerald green, emitting a hazy green light. At the center of the lotus were three lotus seeds, crystal clear and translucent, as if they contained endless creation.

"The chaos green lotus!" Fairy Yuehua was so excited she almost shed tears.

But in the next second, her heart sank.

Beside the green lotus sat a person. An old man with white hair and beard, wearing tattered Daoist robes.

The old man had his back to her and seemed not to have noticed her arrival. However, Fairy Yuehua could feel a profound and unfathomable aura emanating from him, even more terrifying than the Soul Transformation Old Ancestor of the Qingyun Sect.

"Junior Yuehua of the Qingyun Sect has entered this place by mistake. I hope Senior will forgive me." Fairy Yuehua bowed, her heart alert to the extreme.

The old man slowly turned around.

Upon seeing the old man's face, Fairy Yuehua's pupils constricted.

What kind of face was that? The left side was kind and benevolent, with an immortal air; the right side was hideous and terrifying, thick with Devilish Qi. One eye was clear as a spring, while the other was blood-red.

A body of both Immortal and Demon!

"Little child of the Qingyun Sect..." the old man spoke, his voice also incredibly eerie, sometimes clear and sometimes hoarse. "Have you come here for the chaos green lotus?"},{

Fairy Yuehua's heart tightened. Knowing concealment was useless, she said frankly, "Yes. My Junior Brother has been afflicted by a chaos demon seed and needs a seed from the chaos green lotus to save his life. I implore Senior to grant me one; I will surely repay you handsomely."

"The chaos demon seed..." A complex look flashed in the old man's eyes. "How many years has it been? Someone has stepped onto this path again."

He stood up, and only then did Fairy Yuehua notice that a thick iron chain was locked around the old man's right foot, with the other end vanishing into the bottom of the lake.

"Senior, this is..."

"Self-imprisonment," the old man said indifferently. "My Daoist name is 'Yin and Yang'; you may call me the Elder Yin Yang. Many years ago, I was just like your Junior Brother, afflicted by the chaos demon seed."

Fairy Yuehua's heart shook. "Then, Senior, you..."

"I found the chaos green lotus, consumed a seed, reversed the demon seed, and cultivated the Chaos Dao Body," the Elder Yin Yang said slowly. "But I overestimated myself. Although the Chaos Dao Body is powerful, it requires a steadfast Dao Heart to control. My Dao Heart was flawed, and eventually, the balance between Immortal and Demon was lost, leaving me in this state."

He pointed to his half-immortal, half-demon face. "To avoid harming the world, I locked myself here. I no longer know how many years have passed."

Fairy Yuehua was silent for a moment before asking, "Does Senior know of a way to completely purify the chaos demon seed?"

"Consume a seed of the chaos green lotus, suppress the demonic nature with supreme will, and find a balance between the Immortal and the Demon; then one can achieve the Chaos Dao Body." The Elder Yin Yang looked at her. "But this method is extremely perilous; not even one in ten may succeed. Most are either swallowed by the demonic nature and fall into the Demonic Path, or their Dao Heart collapses and their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering occurs. Does your Junior Brother have such will?"

Fairy Yuehua thought of Su Han's clear and firm gaze and nodded heavily. "He does."

"Good." The Elder Yin Yang smiled, an incredibly eerie smile. "Then I shall give you one seed. But you must promise me one thing."

"Please speak, Senior."

"If your Junior Brother succeeds and cultivates the Chaos Dao Body, have him come here to see me." A deep light flashed in the Elder Yin Yang's eyes. "The path of the Chaos Dao Body is not easy to walk. I have some insights that might be able to help him."

Fairy Yuehua said solemnly, "If my Junior Brother succeeds, I will certainly bring him here to thank you, Senior."

The Elder Yin Yang nodded and pointed a finger. A seed flew out from the lotus pod and landed in Fairy Yuehua's hand.

"The journey ahead is dangerous. The Demonic Path has arrived, and if you return the way you came, you will certainly be intercepted and killed." The Elder Yin Yang took out another Talisman. "This is a Void-Breaking Talisman; it can help you leave the God-Burying Abyss directly. But it can only be used once. Take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Senior." Fairy Yuehua took the Talisman and bowed.

"Go." The Elder Yin Yang waved his hand and sat back down, no longer looking at her.

Fairy Yuehua crushed the Void-Breaking Talisman. A silver light enveloped her, and she vanished instantly.

After she left, the Elder Yin Yang opened his eyes and looked at the green lotus in the lake, letting out a long sigh.

"Another young person walking this path... I hope you can reach a different ending."

Qingyun Sect, Bright Moon Peak.

Two and a half months had passed since Fairy Yuehua left. In the stone hall, Immortal Master Yun Lan sat before the jade platform, eyes closed as he adjusted his breathing. In these two months, Su Han had awakened three more times, each time controlled by the demon seed. Fortunately, the Seal was there, preventing any major disaster.

But Immortal Master Yun Lan could feel the power of the Seal weakening. The chaos demon seed was growing stronger, and Su Han's periods of lucidity were becoming shorter.

"Junior Martial Uncle Yuehua, when will you return..." Immortal Master Yun Lan was anxious.

Just then, the light cocoon on the jade platform suddenly vibrated violently.

Immortal Master Yun Lan was shocked and immediately strengthened the Formation. But this time, the vibration was more intense than ever before, and cracks appeared on the surface of the light cocoon.

"Not good!" Immortal Master Yun Lan's face changed drastically as he poured out all his spiritual power, attempting to stabilize the Seal.

But it was already too late.

*Crack—*

The light cocoon shattered completely. Su Han opened his eyes; his pupils had turned entirely deep purple, demon patterns covered his body, and two hideous, curved demon horns grew from his forehead.

"Roar—!"

He let out a long howl toward the sky, and Devilish Qi surged upward, instantly breaking through the roof of the stone hall and soaring into the clouds.

Above Bright Moon Peak, demonic clouds rolled, accompanied by lightning and thunder. The entire Qingyun Sect was alarmed, and countless Disciples and Elders flew into the sky, looking toward Bright Moon Peak in shock.

"That is... Devilish Qi!"

"Bright Moon Peak? Why would there be Devilish Qi in Junior Martial Uncle Yuehua's Immortal Cave?"

"Could it be that Su Han isn't dead?" (End of Chapter)
