Chapter 12 (First Update)

The fragmented souls of the infant and the body of Mo Yu both resisted complete fusion and dissolution, and the will of the Netherworld could not afford to give up on the sacrificial offering already within reach. Such longevity, though not quite immortal, was seen by ordinary people as scarcely different from eternal life.

The next day, Ye Jin also awoke. Her injuries were not as severe as Qin Chong's, but lacking his extraordinary encounter, her recovery was much slower.

All cultivators of the Tianxuan Sect wore expressions of anger. Had they not already ceded Biyun Mountain? Some, growing impatient, had already drawn their magical treasures and spiritual weapons, ready to fight this old monster to the death if necessary.

On the third peak of Kuiniu Mountain, the Black Bull Immortal resided in his cavernous abode that spanned the entire mountain. Apart from the outer disciples who tended and maintained the peak, Mo Yu was his only true disciple. Thus, in the Black Bull Immortal’s absence, Mo Yu was the de facto master of the third peak.

The Azure Serpent King transformed into a streak of blue light, frantically lunging at Ji Ning again and again. Yet the flawless and perfect sword technique he wielded summoned the forces of heaven and earth in an unbroken, endless flow. Sword lights shone forth like mercury cascading, leaving no gaps whatsoever, causing the Azure Serpent King’s attacks to fail repeatedly.

Lu Feng nodded lightly, then exchanged a few words with Dao Songtian before departing.

Elder Twenty-Seven’s head flew off, his pupils still lingering with intense fear and a trace of bewilderment. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t fathom how Zhang Ye’s combat power had grown so formidable in just ten years of absence—he couldn’t even block a single strike.

The third reason was that Zhang Ye possessed a vast quantity of medicinal herbs to practice with. It could be said that Zhang Ye’s alchemical skills were forged through the sheer accumulation of countless herbs.

Lin Xuan sighed. Xu Xie had once been the foremost disciple of the Tianshan Sect, far surpassing him in talent, yet he had lived only a little over a hundred years.

The two exchanged no fewer than ten punches, when suddenly Flying Sister unleashed a ruthless move. Her right palm struck out and suddenly manifested eight identical palm shadows, each feeling genuine to Ye Feng, leaving him unable to discern or evade.

At that moment, as the black skeleton finished speaking, a deafening thunderclap echoed from the cave below, and a massive black silhouette dozens of meters long shot across the horizon.

Although Zhou Ziyan’s reasoning was sound, Xia Mingzhu felt saddened by how quickly he rejected the idea without much consideration. Yet she dared not show her disappointment too openly.

The five great commanders’ faces brightened. Their master’s Yang Thunder Pool was pure in its magical power and even possessed the divine effect of refining essence from impurities. Spending several days in the Thunder Pool was worth decades of painstaking effort. With such an opportunity, how could they not be elated?

“I also feel these monsters aren’t creatures of this world,” Rogue Bird said, recovering from his shock and nodding eagerly at Lin Fei’er’s words.

The speaker was Yang Nan, brimming with exuberance, showing no trace of the perilous ordeals he’d faced.

The former Xuantian Daoist Temple had been but a mere divine peak; where could it compare to today’s sprawling immortal mountain cave residence, magnificent beyond words?

But I can only bear it; I dare not vanish into the shadows. If I did, all arrows would turn toward Ling Xue, who would hardly escape then.

Just as Ling Tian prepared to rush forward to strike the wounded Yang Tianhua, his phone suddenly rang. It was from that girl, Kexin.

In an instant, the entire world turned overwhelmingly sinister. He was unwilling, his long howl laden with countless grievances and a bloody challenge.

Mu Qiu smiled without a word and sent two staff members to fetch boxed meals. Yet though they went, they returned flying.

“Brother Fei, what made you think to call me?” A hearty voice came from the other end.

On the field, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven far surpassed the Jade Border War God in martial skill, though his golden rod had been swung all over his body.

In the past, they had arranged several reshuffle battles between the third and second courts, but without exception, all ended in defeat.

Yet the longstanding problem remained: the true Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup hinged on that final spoonful of cooking wine. Without it, the entire dish would lose its soul and become merely a stew.

With a fierce stomp on the ground, Qie Yuan leapt high, launching another wave motion ball.

Though she had seen photos of her father before, she had never seen him in person. Now, meeting him for the first time since birth, the sisters burst into tears, overwhelmed with joy and emotion.

Ye Chen once again sat meditatively in his cell, channeling his internal energy and cultivating the unique martial arts recorded in the Mysterious Sect’s War God Manual.

The man leapt up to catch up with Ye Chen, reaching out for Ye Cheng’s veil, only to be repelled by a single move. Ye Chen then struck a palm hard into the man’s chest.

Though she did not go to the company herself, Song Yanyan’s mind remained fixed on work. She repeatedly asked Huo Shangning not to let her go, so she obediently stayed at home. Huo Shangning promised to inform her of everything, which eased her mind somewhat.

The ministers could hardly believe what they heard. Unexpectedly, this Sixth Prince was so adept at punishment—how fortunate they were to witness it!

The Soul Pacifying Bottle suddenly trembled, talismans appearing across its surface. Zhu Yuan and Huan Qing stared fixedly, and Zhu Yuan even let out an excited chuckle.

At this moment, Bai Huansheng completely ignored Wolf Fang’s objections, his dark eyes fixed unwaveringly on Qin Chuan.

She had once so desperately craved such attention, mistaking it for love and care. But perhaps none of it was real.
