Chapter 361: Donghuang Taiyi was stunned; what kind of monster was this that could fight so fiercely!
“What exactly is that demon?”
Not only was Fei Yan curious, but the other girls were also filled with questions.
Just what kind of entity was this that could cause so many generations of Grand Priestesses in Loulan to guard against it?
And why was it suppressed by the Chiyou Magic Sword?
According to rumors, the Chiyou Magic Sword contained terrifying power.
No matter how strong one’s will might be, as long as they wielded the Chiyou Magic Sword, they would be manipulated by this fearsome force.
At that point, it would not be man wielding the sword, but the sword wielding the man!
One could say that this item was an uncontrollable divine blade!
Even a sword with a spirit, like the Reverse Scale Sword, could not be compared to it.
Yet, this powerful magic sword was required to guard against that demon below.
Under the curious inquiries of the crowd, the Grand Priestess finally revealed the truth.
“That is the Chiyou Demon Spirit!”
As soon as she spoke, astonished voices arose around her.
“Chiyou?”
“Demon Spirit?”
The Grand Priestess nodded, “Exactly. Back then, Chiyou was not exterminated by the Yellow Emperor; his soul escaped to the Forgotten Land.”
The Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were figures from ancient times.
They were outstanding personalities of that era.
Both in terms of strength and the resilience of their souls, they far surpassed contemporary humans.
It was precisely for this reason that Chiyou could escape with his soul after his physical death.
However, he did not escape with his entire soul.
Rather, it was the most evil part of his soul that fled.
Fei Yan inquired, “Forgotten Land? Where is that?”
The Moon Goddess also spoke up, “Since you know where he is, why didn’t the Yellow Emperor eliminate him entirely back then, instead of leaving a future threat?”
Cutting grass and eliminating roots has always been the style of the Yin-Yang School.
So for the people of the Yin-Yang School, it’s either they don’t make a move, or they eliminate all potential hazards.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.”
The Grand Priestess sighed, shaking her head.
Continuing, she said, “That place cannot be entered by the living, which is why it’s called the Forgotten Land.”
At this point, Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess had begun to understand.
“A place where the living cannot enter…”
The Grand Priestess looked at them, her tone grave: “The Underworld!”
Gods reside in the Nine Heavens, souls enter the Spirit Realm, while humans remain in the mortal world.
This Spirit Realm is also known as the Underworld.
It is a place that humans can only enter after death.
According to legends, it was with the help of the Lady of the Nine Heavens that the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou.
However, his evil spirit escaped to the Underworld.
But this Underworld is not as people imagine it.
After the Battle of Fengshen during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the heavens and earth were severed.
The Three Realms were completely isolated.
Humans’ souls automatically enter the Spirit Realm after death.
Yet, Chiyou, a figure from antiquity, has become an anomaly trapped between the Spirit Realm and the mortal realm.
He has always sought to be reborn and regain control of this land.
However, the people of this age cannot withstand his energy.
Thus, there exists a vessel like Bai Xianwu.
So to be precise, Bai Xianwu was not cultivated as a fruit, but rather a new body prepared by Chiyou for himself.
The evil practices she cultivates are also techniques from ancient times.
However, now this body has been occupied by Li, becoming Li Wu.
“Boom!”
Just as everyone was still in shock, a violent explosion suddenly echoed from the ground.
The entire ground trembled.
Feeling such immense power, the Grand Priestess’s expression changed instantly.
“Quickly, stop them!”
If Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi continue fighting like this, they might truly break through the underground forbidden ground.
Once Chiyou’s demon spirit escapes, there’s likely no one in this world who could deal with him!
Although Chiyou in his soul state is much weaker than before, he is still not something the humans of this age can contend with.
Even armies would crumble before him!
After the Grand Priestess finished speaking, she no longer hesitated about the danger and hurried towards the cave created by Li Mo and Donghuang Taiyi.
Fei Yan and Li Wu followed closely.
The Moon Goddess initially wanted to rush over as well.
But upon seeing the rapidly stabilizing situation here, she decided to hold back.
She must stay above; if something unforeseen occurs below, she would be able to respond accordingly.
As for the remarkably strong Tian Ze and Wei Zhuang, she completely overlooked them.
This concerned the lives of Fei Yan and Li Mo; she trusted no one and would not place her hopes on anyone else.
This is the unique independence of the women of the Yin-Yang School.
Underground the palace, the environment was dim.
The air was thick with dust.
Only a beam of light shone down from the cave opening above, bringing a glimmer of brightness to the dark cave.
For Li Mo, vision wasn’t important at this moment.
He and Donghuang Taiyi were separated by several dozen zhang.
After exhausting themselves in their previous exchange, neither had moved.
Li Mo showed no signs of fatigue, but Donghuang Taiyi’s strength still surprised him.
From several dozen zhang away, Donghuang Taiyi was equally astonished by Li Mo’s power.
How old was he and how many years had he trained?
Li Mo was still so young and had trained for so few years, yet he could match him!
If several more years passed, wouldn’t he become completely outmatched?
Where did this young man come from?
In all these years, Donghuang Taiyi had seen many talented individuals.
But he had never encountered someone so astonishing!
Donghuang Taiyi, just like Li Mo, was also unruffled, not breathing heavily.
But it wasn’t because he had the upper hand in the last conflict; he truly wasn’t inhaling heavily!
This Donghuang Taiyi felt somewhat familiar to Li Mo.
Just like Bai Xianwu from back then!
It was as if he were already dead!
