Baize only felt dizzy.

It was because of this reason that the Barbaric Beasts could not be eradicated, leading to the current devastation in the Immortal Domain, with countless deaths and injuries.

The Great Emperor Jin Shi was equally troubled: "Let's first consider where those three Beast King Bloodlines might be hidden by the Tiangui."

"There might be more than three," Sikong Jiu replied.

"Shut up!"

Baize replied instinctively.

Sikong Jiu also instinctively shrank his neck.

But remembering that he had reformed his body and his boundary had recovered to about sixty to seventy percent, he was no longer the pushover he once was. Sikong Jiu coughed and said:

"Divine General Bai, at least I am of the Emperor Realm, give me a little face."

"Would someone in the Emperor Realm get kicked in the butt?"

"..."

Sikong Jiu was speechless, almost storming out.

Take a look.

All of you take a look, this is the Heavenly Court.

Led by Xu Qingfeng bullying others, his Divine Generals under him are even better at insulting people, leaving no face at all!

However, Sikong Jiu's skin was thick as he said, "It's just that your Great Emperor is gone, if he were still alive, hey, I would definitely kick him back!"

Baize laughed.

Sikong Jiu also laughed along.

The Great Emperor Jin Shi had an odd look: "Daoist Qingfeng ate the Immortal Fruit, there is a slight chance he might awaken."

Immortal Fruit?

Sikong Jiu was stunned.

The Immortal Path had a problem, the Tiangui and Ruan Tang were stuck on it, how could they have picked the Immortal Fruit!

Suddenly.

Sikong Jiu took a sharp breath: "Could it be that the Immortal Path is like this because the Immortal Fruit was picked?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out." Baize nodded.

Sikong Jiu stopped smiling instantly, urgently said: "Then why hasn't he awakened!"

Baize explained the situation from start to finish.

Sikong Jiu was anxious, scratching his head, even going to the back mountain, yet still unable to awaken the deceased Xu Lai.

Though he wanted to watch Xu Lai all the time, Sikong Jiu did not do so, he went to the Immortal Domain.

Dealing with the chaos of the Barbaric Beasts could not be delayed.

Sikong Jiu needed to quickly find the Beast King Bloodline of the Barbaric Beast Tribe, or quickly enhance his boundary to step onto the Immortal Path and deal with the Tiangui.

However. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The Immortal Fruit had been picked, was the Tian Gui Yuan Yin really still on the Immortal Path?

Sikong Jiu left with a perplexed expression.

The Great Emperor Jin Shi continued to kill those high-boundary Barbaric Beasts, the more he could kill, the fewer people would die in the Immortal Domain.

...

The flames of war raged endlessly across the Immortal Domain, while the back mountain remained incredibly quiet.

In the beginning, Yu Guiwan and Ruan Lan still held onto the hope that Xu Lai might awaken someday, but after a long two months passed.

As hope gradually faded, only double the disappointment of shattered hope was left.

"Daddy, Yiyi has come to see you."

Xu Yiyi placed a jug of wine in front of the ice crystal coffin, then held her brother Ping'an's hand and went up the mountain to pick plums.

"Senior Sister, you must keep it a secret from Yiyi and Ping'an, if they find out my sister has already died, I'm afraid…"

Not far away, Ruan Lan bit her lip hard, unable to imagine how heartbroken the two nephews would be if they knew the truth.

"The Immortal Path has a problem, perhaps our junior sister and brother are still alive."

Yu Guiwan comforted Ruan Lan, speaking words she herself didn't believe.

"Sigh."

Ruan Lan rubbed her face vigorously, quickly catching up to the two nephews, forcing a smile: "Wait for me, I'll go pick too."

"Ping'an, run fast, don't let Auntie catch us."

"...Oh."

In the distance came Xu Ping'an's reluctant voice.

The breeze gradually rose.

Yu Guiwan sat in front of the grave, chatting with her father and the three junior brothers, talking about the past.

Speaking of which, the corners of her lips gently lifted, as if returning to ten thousand years ago.

While Yu Guiwan was lost in thought, she didn't see the slight twitch of Junior Brother Xu Lai's fingers inside the ice crystal coffin.

...

...

"What a glaring light."

Xu Lai saw blinding white light before his eyes, instinctively shielding, and when the light faded, his eyes turned red with tears.

Because he stood at the back mountain of the Heavenly Court.

Heavy snowflakes were falling from the sky, the Master was warming plum wine, Senior Sister Yu Guiwan was playing in the snow with three junior brothers.

He watched everything as a bystander.

"Like watching flowers on a galloping horse?"

Xu Lai sighed softly, thinking it was not so bad to see them all once more before dying.

But seeing his younger self running around behind Senior Sister and Senior Brother, Xu Lai's heart was full of nostalgia.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Yu Shouzong, who was warming the wine, spoke.

The bodies of the four brothers playing in the snow stiffened.

Seeing this scene, Xu Lai laughed, vaguely remembering that he, along with two senior brothers who hadn't done their homework, got punished with three months of confinement, and Senior Sister Yu Guiwan, who led the way, got six months.

It was the same in his memory.

After receiving the punishment for confinement, Yu Guiwan was very aggrieved and wanted to take the three junior brothers back.

At this moment,

The Master asked: "What is Xiaoyao (freedom)?"

Xu Lai raised an eyebrow, not remembering any additional test from the Master then.

"Father, leisure and ease, unrestrained and free, that is Xiaoyao," Yu Guiwan said.

"In my heart, there is freedom, and I am free," Song Zhongling stammered.

"Peaceful in heart, in mind, and in oneself."

After pondering for a long time, Qing Qianqiu cupped his fist in salute.

"Qingfeng."

Master Yu Shouzong looked at the very young little disciple: "You say, what is Xiaoyao."

"..."

Seeing the little disciple's face flush red and unable to say anything meaningful for a long time, Yu Shouzong smiled and waved his hand, indicating the disciples could go.

"Quick, let's go."

Senior Sister Yu Guiwan left quickly, afraid of being stopped again for examination by her father.

Once they were gone, Xu Lai stepped on the three-inch deep snow, step by step, and came to his Master.

Thud, he knelt down, bowing deeply.

"Master."

"Crackling"

In the courtyard, only the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard.

Xu Lai knelt for a long time, noticing that the Master's gaze never fell on him. Although disappointed, he knew it should be so, as this was not reality.

Until he sensed the world of memory gradually collapsing and disintegrating, only then did Xu Lai stand up, somewhat reluctantly looking at his Master, as if wanting to look a few more times.

"This world, is not so carefree indeed."

Yu Shouzong cupped the warm wine cup, the fragrance of plum wine wafting, his eyes blurred looking at the snow in the courtyard.

There.

There was a line of very deep footprints.

"Bang!"

Like the sharp sound of shattering glass, Yu Shouzong's body crumbled.

"Hu!"

Xu Lai suddenly opened his eyes.

This time, the memory scene was no longer in the Heavenly Court, but eating together at home with his wife and daughter playing on Mount Haitang.

Yet for some reason, Xu Ping'an was also there, though he clearly wasn't then, the little fellow smiling honestly: "Father."

Then the scene changed again, walking side by side with Yousu Qinghuan from the Nine-Tailed Qingqiu Fox Demon Clan, her eyes glistening:

"Xu Qingfeng, what are you looking at."

"Xu Qingfeng..."

"Xu Qingfeng!"

One memory after another surged like tides, different people calling out formed a terrifying sonic boom in his ear.

From initial reminiscence to later splitting headaches.

After an unknown number of scenes, Xu Lai once again opened his extremely heavy eyelids, then was dazed for a long time.

Because he found himself lying in an ice crystal coffin.
