When the great calamity of Heaven and Earth arrived, Ji Chuchu could probably be of some use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Celestial Demon Bloodline was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao also wanted to study it further later on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chuchu was also exceptionally sharp.

If my Divine Thought can’t find it, that can only mean one thing: the place where the Celestial Demon is sealed isn’t in the physical world!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the City God Temple existed somewhere between the Underworld and the physical world, a place only a Yin Spirit could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>back then, they had an invitation from the City God, which allowed them to find the City God Temple’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, to find this Celestial Demon Sealed Land, he would likely need a medium of some sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiao couldn’t help but look at Ji Chuchu, who was standing to the side. \"Come with me,\" he said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Yin Spirit left his body, manifesting in a physical form.
