Uh—

Jiang Fan felt a bit awkward and said, "Child, how can you speak to adults like that?"

"I am your mother’s sworn brother!"

With a slight pout, Meng Chou muttered something to herself that was unintelligible to others.

Upon noticing the continuous emergence of black unknown liquid, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly cast a spell to restore the Mother Origin Cauldron to its original position.

Thus, she managed to plug the large gap.

She asked suspiciously, "How did you emerge from the sea spring?"

Jiang Fan regained his composure and looked at the sea spring in surprise.

"Meng Chou, I remember that your Sea Demon Clan would be polluted by unknown liquid leaked from the sea spring?"

Meng Chou nodded her snowy white chin and said, "Yes, there’s a strange force inside that precipitates within our Sea Demon Clan’s bodies."

"If not cleared in time, the body will undergo mutations."

"Just like Meng Kong, transforming from a great beauty into a mountain of flesh."

Saying so, Meng Chou expressed curiosity, "You emerged from the sea spring, could it be you visited the source of the sea spring?"

"What kind of place is it? Why does it flow with unknown liquid?"

Jiang Fan revealed a bitter smile, "I should have thought of that earlier!"

Previously, Xu Youran had inadvertently mentioned that the Human Clan would undergo changes by absorbing Yin Qi for a long time.

At that time, he thought about the Sea Demon Clan of Central Earth.

Now, the truth has come to light.

The Yin Qi from the Hell Realm seeped into the Vast Sea through cracks, and the Sea Demon Clan absorbed it for a long time, eventually leading to changes in their bodies.

Unknowingly, the Sea Demon Clan suppressed the Mother Origin Cauldron on top of the crack.

Jiang Fan felt somewhat emotional, not expecting that the sea spring troubling the Sea Demon Clan for countless years turned out to be a crack leading to the Hell Realm!

He briefly explained to Meng Chou.

Meng Chou was also left stunned, "This... is the root of our nightmare that has plagued us for thousands of years."

Jiang Fan took out a Hundred Spirit Pill and handed it to Meng Chou, saying:

"I once promised your mother that I would find a Spirit Pill to cure the physical mutation of your sister."

"Now, I have fulfilled that promise."

Meng Chou dumbfoundedly accepted it, showing a complex expression.

Jiang Fan said, "Then I shall take my leave."

"Please send my regards to your mother."

Meng Chou nodded, watching Jiang Fan fly toward the sea surface until his silhouette disappeared from view. He continued to gaze at the sea and sky in a daze.

After a long time.

A man and a woman arrived, having heard the commotion.

The man was remarkably handsome, and the woman was extraordinarily beautiful.

Standing together, the three had identical appearances, indistinguishable from each other.

The newly arrived woman, clad in a pink long dress, radiated a youthful aura. She ran to Meng Chou, who was crouching on the ground, and said:

"Mother, are you okay?"

Meng Chou... or rather, Yizhu Demon Emperor.

She touched the seaweed covering her body, a complex curve appearing at the corner of her mouth, and murmured:

"I’m fine."

"Mother just had a dream."

In her heart, she silently said, "A dream... where all the splendor fades."

Jiang Fan flew up to the sky above the Vast Sea.

The familiar air of Central Earth rushed toward him, filling him with delight: "Finally back."

The trip to the Hell Realm lasted only a few days, yet it felt as long as more than a month!

Under the blue sky, the rippling Vast Sea, fish leaping, and seabirds circling.

The carefree scenery made him feel dazed, as if he recalled something, looking left and right beside him, his eyes bore a hint of loneliness:

"No wonder Xu Youran and Yue Mingzhu asked him to move slowly in the Hell Realm, to appreciate its scenery."

"What they saw wasn’t just the scenery."

"They wanted to linger a bit longer in my memory before leaving."

"But I realized too late..."

With an empty heart, he wandered aimlessly across the Vast Sea.

He didn’t know how long it had been until a coastline appeared in his vision.

The mainland.

"I ended up walking back to the mainland." Jiang Fan shook his head, preparing to turn toward Taicang State.

Suddenly, he remembered something, he took out a Jade Box, inside it quietly lay a golden worm.

It was precisely the Heart Connection Worm extracted from the soul after proving the Divinity Transformation.

He sighed slightly, "I killed Demon Moon, I should give an explanation to Spirit Sound!"

"By the way, let’s thoroughly explore Spirit Sound’s background." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Even now, she remains unfathomable."

Back then, Spirit Sound’s single letter had the Heavenly Mechanism Elder run naked throughout Central Earth.

That was the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, an existence within the Divinity Transformation Realm.

How could Spirit Sound’s single letter possess such great deterrent force?

Could it be that Spirit Sound is also a Divinity Transformation Realm?

Nowadays, Jiang Fan himself is in the Divinity Transformation Realm and possesses numerous strategies, should be enough to contend head-on with this woman?

With this thought, he flickered away.

Baihua Valley.

Bubbling streams, lush grasses.

The mountain full of blooming peach blossoms, little spirit beasts running freely in the mountains.

The breathtakingly beautiful Spirit Sound, attired in snow-white clothes, sat under a peach tree folding a small white paper crane.

At this moment.

The clouds above the valley stopped their fluffy movement, as if painted onto the sky.

The babbling streams halted abruptly, little beasts maintaining their running posture, motionless.

Falling peach blossoms mid-air all froze in place.

Except for Spirit Sound’s fingertips, as delicate as jade, continuing to fold the paper crane nonchalantly, everything in the valley fell into a Time Freeze.

In the air before Spirit Sound, a phantasmal to real figure gradually appeared, a handsome young man, wearing a crown and dressed in a dragon pattern embroidered white robe.

With a smiling face, he bowed slightly, "Long time no see, my highness."

Spirit Sound did not look up, responded indifferently, "Having visited the Hell Realm, are you disheartened?"

The young man in the dragon robe maintained his smile, "I never had much hope. After all, just like me, your highness also requires the Void Ancient Tree."

"If the Hell Realm really had the Void Ancient Tree, where would I find an opportunity?"

"It would have been seized by your highness long ago."

Spirit Sound pressed her finger, folding the White Paper Crane neatly before gently lifting her bright eyes, glancing at him calmly:

"If you are disheartened, why not return to your Heavenly Court?"

The young man in the dragon robe smiled warmly, "Isn’t this visiting out of concern for your highness?"

"I wonder, how does your highness plan to endure the Dark Tide? Such a small world cannot withstand the tide’s destruction."

Spirit Sound tucked the White Paper Crane into her sleeve, saying, "The Heavenly Court is not easy either."

The young man’s smile gradually waned as he looked upward with a slight sigh, "That’s a divine disaster, besides the Divine Capital, who dares to claim they can resist?"

He once again gazed at Spirit Sound, admiring her breathlessly beautiful, otherworldly face, and said:

"Your highness, why not join me in the Heavenly Court?"

"If you and I unite, resisting the Dark Tide would be a breeze."

Spirit Sound’s serene gaze sharpened gradually, the light in Baihua Valley during the freeze grew dim.

The young man in the dragon robe smiled, "Why anger, your highness; I’m only considering your well-being."

"Your cultivation is about to be suppressed no more, once your aura leaks, Dao Slave will hunt you down relentlessly."

"And I, have a strand of Void Ancient Tree’s wood marrow within me; after uniting, it can help you suppress your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Spirit Sound’s lips curved into a meaningful smile:

"No need, I have a better method."
