Chapter 258
“Zhi Duo Shan ne?”
The myriad of demons seemed to awaken from a dream.
They realized that the great Peng demon king, who had just spoken, had vanished without a trace, disappearing silently.
The various demon kings and great demons couldn’t help but swallow hard.
Their gazes converged, and the kind-eyed monk Huai Kong chuckled, saying, “Old monk has a poor memory; even if I knew, I would have forgotten.”
“.....”
Is it any wonder that Huai Kong is said to possess great wisdom?
A moment of silence fell over the scene.
They could only heed Huai Kong’s words and go with the flow; who would dare to do otherwise? If Huai Kong locked them in his palm’s Buddhist realm and forgot about them, they might never escape in their lifetimes.
But who knew where the divine jade would ultimately land... no.
To be precise, would it be in the hands of the Ming Jiao clan or the Qing Luan clan?
Just then.
The divine jade in the light screen suddenly emitted a strange rumble.
To everyone’s surprise, before the young demons could ascend the solitary peak, the essence of the divine jade rose into the air on its own amidst the myriad of strange phenomena.
It cast down a beam of light.
And the one it enveloped was the girl who stood out like a crane among chickens.
“Is the divine jade ultimately choosing the Qing Luan goddess?”
Inside and outside the painting, all the demons held their breath, their hearts racing.
Some demons had attempted to sneak closer, but were instantly repelled by an invisible force.
Ying Bing felt a pull, sensing the attraction within the light. She didn’t resist but suddenly turned around.
There stood Xiao Li, the little dragon, smiling, with a slight smirk on his lips.
He felt helpless, thinking that this probably wasn’t his investment after all.
But he was happy because Bing Tuozi had received what was rightfully hers.
Hmm!
He had already sent out his Luo Wa...
Thinking of this, Xiao Li felt that this trip to the southern border was definitely worth it!
Ying Bing quietly watched the smirk on his lips, then looked up at the jade phoenix goddess she had pursued for so long, now so close at hand.
That day, the two of them had witnessed the fall of the jade phoenix together...
Just as she was about to make a move.
Suddenly, another beam of light projected down from above the jade phoenix goddess.
The target of this beam was none other than our unparalleled Tian Jiao.
Li Mo: “??”
What’s going on here?
Before he could react, the pulling force of the light surged dramatically.
The jade phoenix goddess gently trembled, drawing both of them upward, bringing the myriad strange phenomena even closer.
Their figures gradually became engulfed and confused by the phenomena, making it hard to see clearly.
It became increasingly difficult for them to even see each other.
“This doesn’t seem like the jade phoenix goddess I remember.”
What was once familiar was now shrouded in an unknown mist, and Ying Bing’s heart rippled, yet warmth suddenly filled her hand.
Looking at Li Mo’s profile, she felt an unprecedented tranquility, as if everything around them had slowed down.
Then, flickering lights danced, and the world turned upside down.
A strong sense of weightlessness made everything feel unreal.
Yet the warmth in her palm remained unwavering.
The gathered demons: ???
“How could the divine jade choose two demons at the same time?” Guo Jing said, bewildered.
Wu Da Meng let out a sigh of relief: “Thank goodness Big Brother Mo was also chosen by the divine jade; two selections are better than none.”
This meant that our Ming Jiao clan’s Tian Jiao still had a chance!
Could it be that the divine jade feared they would fight and cause collateral damage?
The more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
“But if that’s the case, we won’t be able to see what happens to them.”
“Right, we were already superfluous, and now we can’t even be spectators; we seem even more unnecessary…”
“Should we leave?”
“The exit to the Five Elements Realm is too far; it’s better to wait here.”
“If they face off alone, it’s going to be brutal. What if someone dies?”
Listening to the buzzing discussions.
Zhi Duo Luo’s lips gradually curled up, a smile returning to his face.
Let them fight; the more brutal, the better.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a divine object? Who wouldn’t fight desperately for it?
If he could successfully seize the divine jade.
Then he would undoubtedly be the foremost among the disciples of the sect!

Chapter 278: Is the World Safe? This Battle is Too Brutal!
“This is... the past?”
If it weren’t for the cool little hand in his palm, Li Mo would hardly feel his own existence. The jade phoenix goddess, a being long lost in the realms, was evoked by the myriad phenomena, whether still existing or long since vanished in time and space, igniting boundless aura.
It also brought them a long-buried past.
Li Mo saw a figure coalescing from the gathered energy.
It was a figure indistinguishable from a mortal, dressed in garments woven from clouds and rosy hues, her face obscured, yet he could feel her compassionate gaze.
Before her lay a ravaged land, a dim sun that seemed on the verge of extinguishing.
The sun was about to go out, chaos was about to erupt, and the realms were in turmoil, as if they would completely perish in the final madness.
“This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made calamity.”
In the soft voice of the woman, there was an undercurrent of anger hidden beneath the calm.
“The realms cannot be without the sun.”
“I am willing to forsake my chance at ascension to illuminate all beings.”
From atop a towering divine tree came a sighing male voice.
It was a three-legged divine bird, faster than its words; by the time its voice echoed in his ears, it had already soared into the azure sky, crashing into the dying sun.
But how could its power sustain the eternal sun?
Thus, Li Mo witnessed a scene he had seen before in some extreme form.
Countless golden crows surged from the divine tree, one after another, tracing brilliant arcs across the dimming sky, rushing toward death to reignite the sun.
Crossing through long ages.
The divine essence that Li Mo had never truly comprehended now enveloped him in silence.
He also understood the reason for the sun’s sudden extinguishment.
A powerful being among the myriad races ascended, and in the process, stole the path of the sun that it had safeguarded.
It was not the only immortal who had plundered from the world that had nurtured it before leaving the realms.
‘Dao’ would slowly replenish itself, and the world would gradually heal.
But this was far slower than the rate of plunder.
And once ‘Dao’ was lost, all beings connected to it would inevitably perish, whether quickly or slowly.
The woman led her kin through the realms, witnessing countless events, her clan perishing before her eyes.
She preserved each true spirit as seeds, inscribing them within her ‘divinity,’ and over time, her consciousness became as clear as jade.
Unbeknownst to her, one day.
The woman gazed up at the moon, and one could sense her gentle smile.
She spoke words difficult to discern, yet their meaning was crystal clear:
“O beings of the future.”
“Is the world safe and sound?”
Whispering to the moon, she soon continued her journey, her silhouette gradually fading into the distance, until it became completely blurred and vanished.
The scene withdrew from Li Mo’s eyes, and he could no longer see the events of so many years ago.
Only a strange emotion stirred within his heart.
He slightly raised his head.
Before him was a radiant light, the very source of those phenomena—the jade phoenix goddess.
“Jiu Se Yuan Huang...”
“She left everything behind before ‘ascending to immortality’?”
Li Mo couldn’t help but ponder.
It’s also possible that she had never truly left the realms...
So the sun wasn’t transformed from the golden crows?
Back then, the sun was also a singular entity.
How could history record that the Emperor of Da Yu transformed into the great sun?
Xiao Li suddenly felt he had too many questions.
Is this something he should be considering right now?
Shaking his head, he glanced at his side, where Ying Bing was still lost in thought, clearly having seen the previous scene as well.
Hmm.
Ying Bing was indeed struggling to regain her composure.
She had never seen these things from the jade phoenix goddess before, and the difference from her past life was...
She gazed deeply at the figure beside her.
It was him.
........
Just as Xiao Li and a certain ice block were engrossed in their ancient movie.
The demons outside, unaware of what they had experienced and unable to see anything, had been staring blankly for a long time and decided to predict the outcome.
“Rational analysis.”
A great demon from the Bi Fang clan said:
“Luan Bing is incredibly fast, and her combat skills are something even we can hardly match. I think she has a good chance of winning.”
“Right, if she grabs Wu Mo and drops him from a height, he’ll definitely be in for a rough time.”
“But Wu Mo is strong and has great defense. Didn’t you see him clash head-on with the Li Hai Long Jing?”
