Chapter 8: Ruan Ci Obtains the Sword

Ruan Ci Obtains the Sword

"The universe comes and goes, the cosmos divides into clear and turbid. The world we live in is called Langhuan Zhou Tian, which is one of the Great Heavens. There are countless Great Heavens in this universe, projecting onto the celestial canopy as stars. Right now, if you look up, the starry universe you see is the projection of those Great Heavens onto our Langhuan Zhou Tian."

Xie Xie Yan Huan fought a battle here with three Nascent Soul cultivators, and the spiritual energy rolled wildly, having long since stopped the rain. He smoothed the cliff face with a wave of his hand, turning the bluestone into a beautiful jade pillow, and looked up at the stars in the sky with Ruan Ci, pointing them out. Ruan Ci asked, "Great Heaven, Zhou Tian, why is our world called Zhou Tian? Is it because we were born here?"

"Not so." Xie Xie Yan Huan was so arrogant in front of those cultivators, but he was very patient with her. "This brings us to us cultivators. Song Guo has had no one cultivating the Dao for seven hundred years, and the tradition has long been broken. If it were in the Central Continent or the North Youzhou, those great cultivation continents, even the common people in the market could talk about this with relish. Langhuan Zhou Tian can be called by the word 'Zhou' because we are under the protection of the Supreme Profound Clear Dao Wonderful Primordial Grotto-Yang Dao Ancestor. A Great Heaven protected by a Dao Ancestor can be called a Zhou Tian. If there is no protection from a Dao Ancestor, it will be invaded by Heavenly Demons from outside the domain."

Ripples suddenly appeared on Xie Xie Yan Huan's face, making people feel dizzy when they looked closely. He laughed, "My Formless Heavenly Demon Art is an art that can only be practiced within the Zhou Tian. In a Great Heaven, let alone practicing, even if you only have such a thought in your heart, the Heavenly Demon from outside the domain can use that trace of connection in the dark to occupy your mind in an instant, causing you to gradually turn into a demon, and finally break through the void and merge into that chaotic void that is neither Yin nor Yang, neither bright nor dark. Think about how difficult it is for a person to control their own thoughts, and you will know the difference between a Great Heaven and a Zhou Tian."

Ruan Ci tried to think about it and also felt terrified. From the changes in the capital until now, it had only been a day or two, and she had already seen too much death, and had even considered how she would die. In her view, the deaths of her Ruan family relatives, and even that Liu Yin, were not the most terrifying. At least that person had a result in their life. If, without knowing or feeling, 'I' had already perished, and there was still a shell living like a walking corpse, that would be truly desolate and terrifying.

"Then, how many Dao Ancestors are there in our universe?" she asked curiously. "If there were enough to protect all the Great Heavens, that would be great."

Xie Xie Yan Huan laughed, "How could that be possible."

He was in his male appearance at this time. Seeming to sense Ruan Ci's sense of strangeness, he turned back into his daughter's appearance and touched Ruan Ci's head. "You have a kind heart, but there are countless Great Heavens in the universe that are born and perish, yet there are only seventy-two Dao Ancestors. The Zhou Tian that a Dao Ancestor can protect is ultimately limited, so how can they take care of them all? Look, that big star in the Northern Sky star field is flickering, shining brightly and beautifully. Do you see it?"

Before this, Ruan Ci had almost never been outdoors at night, and even the opportunities in her life to truly step outside the eaves were very few. Of course, there was no talk of stargazing. Even this starry universe was fresh to her. Looking toward the north, she saw thousands of stars, flickering and uneven. For a moment, it was difficult to see the one Xie Xie Yan Huan mentioned. She self-taught, wiped her forehead, and only felt her eyes brighten. When she looked again, she really saw that the stars in the sky were distinct, and there was indeed a big star in the north that was shining incessantly. "I see it. Is this a Great Heaven without the protection of a Dao Ancestor?"

"Correct. This Great Heaven is currently fighting incessantly with Heavenly Demons. The war has probably reached its most intense moment. Cultivators and Heavenly Demons are fighting for the fortune of the Great Heaven. Within a thousand years, there should be a result." Xie Xie Yan Huan also felt some emotion. "Since I started cultivating the Dao, it has been the most eye-catching in the northern night sky. The struggle of ten thousand years has finally reached the day when a winner is decided."

For Ruan Ci, ten years was already a huge number, and a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years were even more unimaginable. She looked up at the north, thinking that these stars were all Great Heavens, and inside there were countless living beings, at this very moment performing their own stories. She could not help but feel a sense of longing, and also felt that it was indescribably terrifying. Beyond the longing, she could not help but feel hurt. The world was vast, the stars were tiny, and they were full of people, while she was just the most ordinary one among them. This point made people feel a little sad.

"You are not very happy, which is also natural," Xie Xie Yan Huan saw what she was thinking and said leisurely, "When I first started cultivating the Dao, I heard my master explain the origin of heaven and earth to me, and I was also very unconvinced. The world is so big, and there are so many capable people. It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up. I, Xie Xie Yan Huan, pride myself on my intelligence, but I never thought that among these Great Heavens, I would be just the most ordinary one. This is the most common kind of obstacle to knowledge, and it is often the first hurdle that cultivators of our generation encounter."

"Then how should one overcome it?" Ruan Ci asked curiously.

Xie Xie Yan Huan looked at her, shook her head, and laughed, "This has nothing to do with you. You cannot sense the Dao rhyme, and you are destined to have no fate with cultivating the Dao in this life. For you, recognizing that you are just one of the common people is actually not a bad thing."

She stretched out her hand and said, "Look at me carefully again."

Ruan Ci used all her eyesight to look over, only to see five-colored brilliance dancing wildly in heaven and earth, and a stream of black Water spirit falling from the sky. But these spiritual lights were repelled within a few feet of Xie Xie Yan Huan, and even Ruan Ci was invisibly protected by her. Only the colorless flowers kept falling into her hands, merging into her body and disappearing. Xie Xie Yan Huan's fingers gripped slightly, like a long whale drawing water. In the heaven and earth by the cliff, all the colorless spiritual flowers were absorbed and surged into her palm. Her fingers, like warm jade, became brighter and brighter.

When the light seemed to reach its limit, Xie Xie Yan Huan slapped her palm toward her. The brilliance turned into colorless spiritual flowers and flew to Ruan Ci's front. Ruan Ci reached out to catch it, but saw the brilliance shatter, pass through her palm, and turn into flowers again, falling into the beautiful jade turned from bluestone.

"This is the Dao rhyme of the Dao Wonderful Primordial Grotto-Yang Dao Ancestor. The Dao fruit of the Grotto-Yang Dao Ancestor is about to mature, and the Dao rhyme fills the Zhou Tian star field under his jurisdiction, resisting the Heavenly Demons from outside the domain." Xie Xie Yan Huan said lightly, "This universe was created by the Supreme Clear Profound Jade True Mysterious Five Elements Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor. All living beings in this universe can cultivate the Dao, with differences in aptitude. But in Langhuan Zhou Tian, if you cannot sense the Dao rhyme, you cannot control spiritual energy. In the words of South Zhuzhou, it means you have no spiritual roots."

Ruan Ci suddenly realized, and was not very surprised. Xie Xie Yan Huan nodded and said, "You thought correctly. Your aptitude is not much worse than your brother and sister, but they can sense the Dao rhyme, so they are self-taught and naturally cultivate talisman power, while you can't do it no matter how hard you try. It's not that you are inferior to your brother and sister, but in Langhuan Zhou Tian, an infant can be close to the Dao rhyme as soon as they land. If you cannot sense it, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot change or twist it. You have no way to cultivate immortality."

These two days had been overwhelming, and after experiencing so many bizarre things, if Ruan Ci said she had no longing for such a fairy life of flying high and calling the wind and rain, it would be a lie. But after all, she had grown up in Song Guo since she was a child, and two days of experience were not enough to smooth out more than ten years of experience. Ruan Ci felt a little lost in her heart, but it faded in an instant. She nodded and said, "Oh, I see! And then?"

Xie Xie Yan Huan widened her eyes, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed. She stroked Ruan Ci's head and laughed, "Good, good, sure enough, it's the East Flower Sword Seed."

She handed the long sword in her hand to Ruan Ci for the first time. Ruan Ci hesitated and did not take it, so she took it back. This time she handed it over for the second time and laughed, "The laws that a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot change, I, Xie Xie Yan Huan, naturally don't have the ability to change either. However, I can lend you a sword. Although you cannot cultivate the Dao, you can cultivate the sword."

Ruan Ci had missed the opportunity before, but in fact, she had long been very curious. She reached out and took the hilt. The sword body was as light as nothing, and Ruan Ci lifted it up with a light lift. Besides that, there was nothing unusual. The scabbard was pure black, decorated with gold edges, but Ruan Ci held it in her hand and couldn't even feel the weight of the wooden scabbard.

She tried to draw the sword, but couldn't. The hilt and the scabbard seemed to be stuck together, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't separate them. She turned to Xie Xie Yan Huan and asked.

"Sister Xie, is this an empty shell?"

Xie Xie Yan Huan smiled, reached out, and Ruan Ci suddenly felt a sense of reluctance in her heart, as if she really didn't want to return the precious sword. She was secretly surprised, but she didn't mess up her actions and still handed the sword back. Xie Xie Yan Huan drew the sword from its scabbard with a 'tseng' sound, held it horizontally in front of her, and laughed, "Qingjun, your sword envoy this time is so bold, she actually looks down on you a bit."

But the sword body was like autumn water, the blade was not opened, and it was like an ordinary long sword, with nothing special to see. Xie Xie Yan Huan gently stroked the sword body, seemingly very lingering and reluctant, and said in a low voice, "You have to show some skills in a while, so that she can see your abilities. For the next ten thousand years, it will be her following you. Whether I can come back or not is hard to say."

After finishing, she shook the sword, and there was a long groan. Ruan Ci only felt that she was involuntary, flying upward with Xie Xie Yan Huan. In an instant, she broke through the air, passed through the clouds, and the mountains and rivers under her feet turned into a small point. The cities of Song Guo were just stars in the mountains and rivers. They were still rising rapidly, and Ruan Ci gradually saw the countries next to Song Guo, and even vaguely saw the translucent barrier above the countries. Xie Xie Yan Huan was injured and fell into South Zhuzhou, Song, Wu, and Chu countries laid out arrays, Song Guo's great array was broken, but Wu and Chu countries' arrays were still complete. Five-element spiritual brilliance fell above the arrays, and the black Water spiritual energy was sucked away by that layer of barrier, flowing and converging elsewhere, without a trace falling into Wu and Chu countries.

"Do we still need to go up!"

Going further up, the boundaries between countries were no longer clear, and only a very large land could be vaguely seen, surrounded by the ocean on all four sides, which should be South Zhuzhou. At this time, the lights of the human world could no longer be seen, and only spiritual energy could be seen rushing into the sky everywhere above South Zhuzhou. There were more than a dozen places where spiritual energy was shining brightly, its Qi like steam, its shape like a pillar, shining for ten thousand miles, like stars on the ground, competing with the sun and moon. Ruan Ci was dazzled and asked loudly, "Sister Xie, are those the major cultivation sects of South Zhuzhou?!"

Xie Xie Yan Huan laughed, "South Zhuzhou is just a countryside place. You should look to the north."

She still kept rising with Ruan Ci, but before she could naturally break through the air with her own spiritual energy, at this time she began to use magic techniques, and her body also released brilliance, constantly sparking with the denser five-colored spiritual brilliance. But Xie Xie Yan Huan was smiling and talking, seemingly having spare energy.

Ruan Ci looked as told, only to see that beyond the vast ocean in the north, there were clusters of continents and clusters of countries, and there was spiritual light like illumination, connected like the sea, floating in the sky and covering the land, spiritual energy lingering and rolling, and all kinds of treasure light rushing into the sky. Just by looking at its Qi, one could imagine its style, prosperity, and majestic glory. Ruan Ci's mind was taken away by it, and she thought to herself, so there is such a place in the world, even the entire South Zhuzhou is considered a countryside place.

Xie Xie Yan Huan stopped her escape momentum in the air. Ruan Ci looked up, only to see that the five-colored spiritual brilliance was integrated here, no longer falling down, as if she had come to the source of spiritual energy. Looking down, even the Central Continent could not be seen clearly, and only a group of spiritual light surged up. This world was like an uneven sea surface. Beyond South Zhuzhou and the Central Continent, there were vaguely many continents floating on the sea surface, and there seemed to be many small whirlpools under the sea. When she looked closely, she couldn't see clearly.

"Those are many Grotto-Heaven small worlds attached to Langhuan Zhou Tian." Xie Xie Yan Huan sat cross-legged in the air, watching the direction of South Zhuzhou, seemingly waiting for something, and said casually, "Cultivators of Langhuan Zhou Tian can at most go to these Grotto-Heaven small worlds and cannot truly break the Great Heaven barrier. This place is the highest point of our Langhuan Zhou Tian."

"With cultivation like Sister Xie's, can't you get out either?"

Since Xie Xie Yan Huan appeared in the world, she had not used a sword, was bare-handed, and seemed to be able to do whatever she wanted in a careless manner. Ruan Ci looked at the five-colored chaos above, only feeling that Xie Xie Yan Huan could break it with a casual sword, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything even Sister Xie can't do?"

"You asked well. In fact, it is not difficult to break this spiritual energy barrier, but the difficulty is that the cultivation in Langhuan Zhou Tian cannot be brought out," Xie Xie Yan Huan said leisurely. "We cultivate by sensing the Dao rhyme. The Dao rhyme is the Dao Ancestor's aura, and the magic power is soaked in the Dao rhyme. But the Dao rhyme is only within the Zhou Tian. If you want to leave the Zhou Tian, you have to give up this cultivation and Dao method, not to mention magic treasures and spiritual weapons. Even this container for cultivating the Dao, the treasure raft for crossing the world, because it is difficult to avoid tempering the body when cultivating the Dao, has also been stained with the Dao rhyme, so even the physical body cannot be brought out."

Ruan Ci couldn't help but swallow her saliva. "Then, then what can be brought out?"

"A little true spirit, entering and exiting without hindrance, not stained, can naturally travel out. But if there is no treasure to protect the body, it cannot withstand the invasion of various harms in the void. In addition, Langhuan Zhou Tian has a deep foundation. It is a Great Heaven brought by the Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao Ancestor from the old universe. There are many Grotto-Heaven small worlds transformed from the Grotto-Heaven of the old universe's great powers. If it is a treasure of the old universe that has not been stained with the Dao Ancestor's spiritual rhyme, it can also be brought out."

Xie Xie Yan Huan drew the East Flower Sword and said loudly, "This East Flower Sword is the remnant sword of the Five Elements Dao Ancestor of the past. The Dao Ancestor held the sword to create the world, point out the clear and turbid, and create countless Zhou Tians. This sword is a spiritual treasure of the universe level. Even if the sword spirit has fallen and turned into thousands of sword souls falling into reincarnation, it is still a first-class treasure in the universe. It can naturally be brought out of the Zhou Tian."

This sentence was like a spark, falling into the air, suddenly igniting countless spiritual lights. When Ruan Ci looked down in horror, she saw that the Central Continent, South Zhuzhou, and even the far corners of the four directions all had eyes formed by spiritual light looking over. A spiritual toad appeared above South Zhuzhou, puffing its belly and making a sound at the sky. A giant holding a candle appeared on the Central Continent, and ghostly Qi turned into a snake on the Northern Continent, all seemingly looking at the ordinary long sword in Xie Xie Yan Huan's hand.

Xie Xie Yan Huan swung the long sword and laughed, "Now, do you know why everyone is opposing me? This sword is the remnant of a congenital universe spiritual treasure, enough to suppress the fortune of the Zhou Tian. The major sects of Langhuan Zhou Tian have endless disputes, but there is only one thing that is beyond doubt—the East Flower Sword must never leave Langhuan Zhou Tian."

Ruan Ci only then knew that this was the kind of sword Xie Xie Yan Huan wanted to lend her. She said tremblingly, "Then, then you want to lend it to me, is, is it because... you still want to go out?"

Xie Xie Yan Huan raised her brows and laughed, "That is natural. How could I, Xie Xie Yan Huan, give up halfway on what I want to do?"

Ruan Ci thought, that is also because your magic power is profound, so you can be so willful. But if only a little true spirit breaks out of Langhuan Zhou Tian and cannot take away the East Flower Sword, then... then if you go out, can you still come back?

"If I can't come back, that is naturally a good thing for you." Xie Xie Yan Huan saw her thoughts and laughed, "This sword is lent to you. If the creditor never comes back, wouldn't it become yours? With this sword in hand, it is enough to roam the world. You naturally wouldn't want to return it to me."

Ruan Ci's shoulders trembled, and she said without thinking, "Borrowed things naturally have to be returned. If you lend me the sword, then when you come back in the future, I will naturally return the sword to you."

Xie Xie Yan Huan laughed, "What a childish word. Do you know that you cannot sense the Dao rhyme, cannot cultivate yourself, and can only cultivate the sword? Your entire Dao is in the East Flower Sword. As long as the East Flower Sword is there, one day you will be the top cultivator in the world. Once the East Flower Sword is taken back by me, your ten thousand years of cultivation will be lost—knowing all this, are you still willing to return it to me?"

"If it weren't for Sister Xie, I would have died last night." Ruan Ci shook her head. "Every day I live from now on is earned. We Ruan family members have always known how to repay kindness, and I am even less of a greedy person."

"What kindness is there between you and me?" Xie Xie Yan Huan sneered. "The great array of Song Guo was set up because of me, and the chaos was caused by the great array. When the array was set up, the water stored in Song Guo was limited, and the spiritual jade mines gradually dried up, triggering factional framing and squeezing. Your parents died when you were in swaddling clothes because of this. Your maternal grandfather, the Ruan clan, couldn't bear to see you wandering and adopted you, but in the end, they were exterminated because of a so-called Kun Pendant, which was also caused by me."

Ruan Ci had never known the truth of her life experience. Hearing Xie Xie Yan Huan say this to the end, her eyes could not help but fall on Xie Xie Yan Huan's cuffs, where there was a pattern the same as the Kun Pendant's pattern.

Xie Xie Yan Huan suddenly bent down and leaned in front of her. She was so scared that she took a step back. Xie Xie Yan Huan looked at her and asked, "Ruan Ci, do you hate me?"

At this time, the two were standing high in the gale. Even if Xie Xie Yan Huan did nothing and withdrew her magic power, Ruan Ci would fall straight down, so how could she survive? Ruan Ci had never been very brave, but at this question from Xie Xie Yan Huan, she didn't know why she wasn't afraid. She pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "Immortals and mortals are different. How can mortals judge the right and wrong of immortals? Perhaps the fall of the Ruan family was implicated by Sister Xie, but was the rise of the Ruan family also because of Sister Xie? The cause and effect from seven hundred years ago to now cannot be judged by mortals."

Thinking of the fate of the billions of people in the three countries of South Zhuzhou, which changed forever because of a thought from Xie Xie Yan Huan, she could not help but feel sad. She looked into Xie Xie Yan Huan's eyes and said firmly, "But we mortals have the face of mortals. Sister Xie could kill thousands of me with a wave of her hand, but before you do it, you don't believe me, but I have to say—'Borrowing and returning, although I, Ruan Ci, am a mortal, I also keep my promises. Borrowed things, no matter how precious, I will definitely return them.'"

Xie Xie Yan Huan looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Good, worthy of being the reincarnation of the East Flower Sword Soul. I believe you, mortal Ruan Ci. I will lend you this sword, and you will definitely return it."

She handed the East Flower Sword to Ruan Ci and asked seriously, "Ruan Ci, have you thought it through?"

Ruan Ci looked at this ordinary long sword, gritted her teeth, and took it from Xie Xie Yan Huan's hand. "Ruan Ci thanks Sister Xie for lending the sword!"

Xie Xie Yan Huan laughed loudly, feeling very happy. "Good! Then I'll wait for you to return it!"

This time was different from the last time. The East Flower Sword seemed to have a bit more weight. Ruan Ci's fingers touched the scabbard, and a chill flowed through. She looked around blankly, only feeling that she suddenly saw many things. The spiritual toad and giant on the continent below had quietly disappeared at some point, but it seemed that there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at her from far away.

She looked back, but only saw blurred figures standing at the peak of the continent. Ruan Ci could not help but shiver, thinking to herself, these must be the most outstanding cultivators of Langhuan Zhou Tian, peeking at the movement here. The East Flower Sword is a treasure of fortune. They will not allow Xie Xie Yan Huan to take it out. Now that Xie Xie Yan Huan has lent it to her, they are naturally very concerned about its whereabouts.

"But Ruan Ci, you must also know that this sword is a treasure of the universe, and there are many, many people who want it. If you want to live until I come back and return this sword to me with your own hands, mortal Ruan Ci cannot do it." Xie Xie Yan Huan stopped smiling and said slowly. She was not as considerate and close to Ruan Ci as she was before, but had more respect. "Only immortal Ruan Ci can do it."

"Immortals and mortals are different. The words spoken by mortal Ruan Ci might be broken by immortal Ruan Ci," Xie Xie Yan Huan said. "If that day comes, don't take it to heart. If you don't want to return it, then don't—what I want, I will eventually take into my own hands. It doesn't matter what others think."

Ruan Ci wanted to say something but stopped, and finally just shook her head. Xie Xie Yan Huan flicked her large sleeves, and a coffin fell out, trembling in mid-air, as if it couldn't withstand the blowing of spiritual energy. She stood at the head of the coffin and said loudly, "The time has come. Seven hundred years ago, the three countries set up an array to sever the spirit, and the Profound Spirit Water Brilliance has not been reconciled for seven hundred years. Now that the Song Guo array is broken, and Chu and Wu countries have withdrawn their arrays, the Profound Spirit is rolling wildly. It is the right time for me to break open the chaos!"

Following her words, two faint lights lit up in South Zhuzhou. Ruan Ci listened carefully and said in surprise, "Can you still hear the sound of the array breaking from so far away?"

Just as she was speaking, she saw the two faint lights combine with the water spirit dancing wildly above Song Guo, and in an instant, they rolled into a whirlpool, attacking from a high place, like a gale, blowing Xie Xie Yan Huan and Ruan Ci up and down. Ruan Ci danced and danced, and had to hug the treasure sword in her arms to feel at ease. A black shadow in Xie Xie Yan Huan's body took a step forward, its face vaguely the appearance of her male body. The black shadow suddenly came behind Ruan Ci, held Ruan Ci's hand from behind, and said softly, "You will definitely regret it, Ruan Ci. However, it doesn't matter if you regret it. When that day comes, you just need to know that I have already forgiven you."

Ruan Ci was involuntary, slowly drawing the East Flower Sword with the black shadow's movements, pointing to the sky. Xie Xie Yan Huan stood at the head of the coffin, looking back at her, her long hair and clothes fluttering in the air, wild to the extreme. She smiled slightly, "I like you very much, mortal Ruan Ci. I hope that when I come back, this sword can still be in your hands."

The black shadow laughed, "Let me help you, and let you see the true power of this East Flower Sword."

He was originally holding Ruan Ci's hand, helping her draw the sword and point to the sky. At this moment, he tilted his wrist slightly and said, "Receive!"

The light of the East Flower Sword flashed, piercing into Ruan Ci's eyes. In a trance, she seemed to see the stars transformed by Langhuan Zhou Tian roaming in the void, but the continents inside were clearly visible. Suddenly, in the four directions of the continents, from infinitely far away, it seemed that many voices were screaming at the same time, emitting from the sword body. Thousands of spiritual lights lit up everywhere in the Zhou Tian, like fireflies rushing to the fire, rushing toward the East Flower Sword, and in the blink of an eye, they all sank into the sword.

"Xie Xie Yan Huan, how dare you!"

Among the dozen or so people peeking at them, someone had already opened their mouth to roar angrily, the sound shaking the continent, turning into invisible sound waves rolling over. The giant holding the lamp on the Central Continent appeared again at some point, raising the lamp to shine on Xie Xie Yan Huan. Xie Xie Yan Huan looked up and laughed wildly, saying loudly, "What do I not dare to do?"

She waved her hand, and the black shadow held Ruan Ci's hand, raising the sword and sending it upward. The figures of the three twisted, and the sound waves and light waves passed through their bodies, but it seemed that they only broke a layer of illusion. The two magic treasure spiritual waves, the spiritual energy whirlpool transformed by the water spirit below, and even this sword, all struck the chaotic barrier. With a loud noise, a five-colored hole that kept twisting was broken out of the barrier. It seemed to be only a thin layer, but it also seemed to be several miles long, and the hole could not be seen.

Xie Xie Yan Huan carried her hands on her back, without hesitation, and took a step out. Her body was suddenly covered by a layer of extremely fine colorless flames. The flames twisted, setting her robes on fire. Every step Xie Xie Yan Huan took, the flames became more vigorous. The black shadow behind Ruan Ci let go of her hand, rushed toward the hole from afar, and appeared behind Xie Xie Yan Huan in a twist, hugging her. Black Qi erupted, contending with the flames.

Ruan Ci had no more support and fell down. The Mother-Child Yin Coffin had originally stopped there, but at this moment, it opened its lid, spat out the child coffin, flew under Ruan Ci, and supported her. The mother coffin shook slightly, and like the black shadow, it appeared at Xie Xie Yan Huan's feet in the blink of an eye.

Ruan Ci lay on the coffin lid and shouted, "Sister Xie—"

Xie Xie Yan Huan looked back at her, her face shrouded in a blue fire, without joy or sorrow, like a female corpse, bizarre and beautiful to the extreme. Ruan Ci was stunned, forgetting the words she was about to ask, and only shouted, "Why do you want to go out—"

Xie Xie Yan Huan's mouth twitched, as if to respond, but the blue fire was drawn by this, and the fire became more vigorous. Her figure was burned thinner and thinner, and together with the black shadow, turned into flying ash piece by piece.

The gale blew, and Ruan Ci was blown rolling, hugging the child coffin into the water spirit whirlpool. The scenery in front of her changed, and it was a mess. Vaguely, she could still see Xie Xie Yan Huan's figure, still wearing that purple male robe, flying forward. The hole was already in front, and she could vaguely see the Heavenly Demons rolling, peeking inside. The mother coffin lid slid open, Xie Xie Yan Huan formed a seal with both hands, and lay into the coffin. In a trance, it was the appearance of Ruan Ci first seeing her in the coffin.

The next moment, she opened her eyes again, smiled slightly at Ruan Ci, and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, Wang Panpan will take care of you."

"I'm going out this time to find something—"

The coffin lid closed, the jade coffin slid out of the hole silently, the five-colored passage twisted and closed, Ruan Ci could no longer see the illusion, and in the scream, she hugged the small coffin and the East Flower Sword, spinning and falling, her eyes went dark, and she fainted.

A few words of gossip: Sure enough, Little Xie is a popularity harvester just like I thought before. This text, Ruan Ci is of course the protagonist, and the story revolves around her, but I also have many charming characters in my mind, and their style will not be inferior. These cultivators with different personalities are also one of the driving forces for me to write this text!

In addition, the scene at the end of this chapter where Xie Xie Yan Huan turns into flying ash, her spirit enters the Yin coffin, and sails into the vast void is also one of the driving forces for me to write!
