Chapter 11 The Only Person Who Firmly Believes in Her

Tianmen Mountain is a place of spiritual beauty and abundant spiritual energy, the most abundant place in the cultivation world.

But this world is like the Tai Chi symbol, where there is yang and there is yin.

The Chaos Realm is the place of extreme Yin.

The first rule of the Tianmen Sect is: Tianmen Sect disciples are not allowed to step into the Chaos Realm. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without exception.

The Tianmen Sect has been established for a thousand years. During that time, only the most vicious and evil demonic beasts and monsters were thrown into the Chaos Realm. Apart from that, no one has ever truly entered the Chaos Realm.

Or rather, no one who goes in can come out of it.

"The Realm of Chaos"

The three blood-red characters were carved on the stone tablet, with the words "Forbidden Area" below standing out prominently.

Ye Li grew up in the Tianmen Sect, but this was her first time visiting the Chaos Realm Forbidden Area.

Tianmen Mountain enjoys eternal spring, but once you approach the Chaos Realm, all plants wither, dark clouds obscure the sun, and not a single bird flies by, creating a stillness that makes one uneasy.

Ye Li suddenly remembered a rumor she had heard that the reason why no plants grow in the Chaos Realm is because an ancient evil spirit is imprisoned there.

He would gut and devour any of the monsters and evil spirits that were thrown in.

Ye Li looked up at the entrance to the barrier. The towering bronze pillar enveloped the Chaos Realm, its body engraved with countless runes.

Each copper pillar was connected by chains, and a cold wind blew up the yellow talismans pasted on the chains, making the paper rustle.

Black mist gathered, resembling the gates to the underworld.

Ye Li stared ahead, her expression grim.

With Dahei's fate unknown, she's determined to venture even into the underworld!

The moment I stepped into the Chaos Realm barrier, it was as if I was caught in a vortex, and the world spun around me in an instant.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she felt a bone-chilling cold.

The sky stretched endlessly, devoid of sun or moon. An endless expanse of snow lay before the howling wind, whipping up snowflakes that seemed to seep straight into the bones.

Ye Li shivered from the cold.

The next second, her body froze.

Cold? Why would she feel cold?

Not only was I cold, but my body also seemed to be acting strangely.

Ye Li looked down and everything went black.

It was literally black. Looking at her jet-black wings, Ye Li was speechless.

Is this... Big Black?

She tried to stand up, her claws planted on the snow, and her wings shook, dropping black feathers.

Could it be a case of possession and resurrection?

Could it be that Big Black is already...?

Ye Li immediately used her divine sense to investigate. Although Da Hei's demonic spirit was weak, it was still there.

She breathed a sigh of relief and tried to back out.

In a flash, she found herself standing on the snow, while the unconscious Big Black lay on the ground.

Remembering that she had made a pact with Dahei, she realized that perhaps it was because of this that her soul was able to control Dahei's body.

Since her soul was useless, she simply returned to Big Black's body. She was too terrified just now, and only after she recovered did she realize how badly Big Black was injured. Its wings were completely broken and it couldn't lift them at all. Its left claw was broken, making it very difficult for it to walk.

But she couldn't stop. Not only would she freeze to death, but if there really were some ancient evil spirits here, wouldn't Big Black, being so fat, become their food?

Even without evil spirits, there are at least eight or ten thousand ferocious beasts thrown into the Chaos Realm over the years. No matter which one Dahei encounters, he is likely to meet a bad end.

Strangely, Ye Li walked for a long time without seeing a single ferocious beast, or even a mouse.

Among those ferocious beasts that wreaked havoc in the region, there were many with the power to shake mountains and swallow seas. Could they all be dead?

Ye Li didn't dare to think too much about it and quickened her pace, finally finding a snow cave where she could take temporary shelter.

He opened Big Black's storage pouch, hoping to find some medicine, but all he found was a mountain of snacks, dried fruit and meat, wine and fruit drinks, and even a hundred or so duck legs.

This big black thing...

Ye Li tried to use magic, but unfortunately, humans and birds are not compatible, and she couldn't put together a decent duel.

Suddenly, something occurred to her.

She focused her mind and flicked her chicken claw, sending a cluster of blue flames landing on the ground.

It was the endless fire she had previously drawn back from the Abyss of Despair.

Strangely, the fire, which was clearly orange-red from the outside, had turned blue.

Never mind!

Orange or blue, a good fire is one that can keep you warm!

Once she warmed up, she managed to find a bottle of pills hidden in a corner of her storage pouch.

This bottle is because she added a sweet herb when she was making the medicine, and Dahei would eat it like candy whenever he had nothing to do.

She downed a whole bottle, hoping to win by sheer volume.

After settling Big Black in, Ye Li withdrew from its body.

She looked around, and for some reason, the place gave her a strange feeling.

It felt like... there was always a pair of eyes watching her.

Before leaving, Ye Li looked at Da Hei and silently vowed: I will definitely take you out of here.

However, the moment Ye Li left the Chaos Realm, the air above the Endless Fire began to hiss as if it had become tangible.

After a long time, a tiny crack, the size of a pinhole, appeared in the air.

At the same time, the blizzard formed a hurricane, and space was torn apart and distorted by an unknown force.

In the center of the Chaos Realm.

A pair of golden eyes suddenly opened.

-

Ye Li was dazzled by the morning light as soon as she left the Chaos Realm.

There was no day or moon in the Chaotic Realm, and she only realized she had been inside all night when she came out.

Fortunately, since she was a spirit, she didn't feel tired.

She first went to Shuiyunmen to see if Huang Guang had any new moves.

As soon as I stepped into the Water Cloud Gate, I heard a loud shout.

Are you going or not?!

Ye Li was startled by the loud voice. Looking inside, she saw that the woman who was shouting was tall and strong, and she was yelling angrily at the Water Cloud Sect elder.

The elder of Shuiyun Sect was furious. "Nie Hongye! You unfilial disciple, how dare you speak to your master like that! Besides, it was Qingyu Zhenren who left the sect, not me. Why are you smashing my house!"

The area around Nie Hongye was a scene of utter devastation. She pointed her sword at the elder of the Shuiyun Sect, "I don't care! I spent a year in seclusion just to defeat Ye Li in the sect competition. What am I supposed to do now that she's been expelled from the sect! You bring her back to me!"

She shouted as she frantically used her newly formed Golden Core stage spiritual power to demolish the house.

The elder of Shuiyun Sect had just dodged a falling tree when he turned around and almost tripped over a rolling water vat.

He barely dodged her, then exclaimed angrily, "Now that Ye Li is gone, you're number one! Why are you still looking for her?!"

"A first place that doesn't defeat Ye Li is soulless! I want Ye Li!"

"But she has already been expelled from the sect!"

"I don't believe it. With her mother hen-like personality, she's as respectful to Master Qingyu as she is to her father. How could she possibly abandon that brood of chicks from the Lotus Sect! Someone must have framed her!"

"..."

Ye Li was taken aback by the confident tone.

This was the first time since her death that someone had unconditionally believed in her.

Ironically, those who stood firmly by her side were not her fellow disciples whom she considered family, but her long-time rivals.

A warmth crept into Ye Li's heart, which had been aching for days, and she felt a pang of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have beaten Nie Hongye so badly when we competed before.

Last time, I think she even burned her hair...

After Nie Hongye's rampage, the elder of Shuiyun Sect finally gave in, "Alright, alright! I heard that Ye Li distributed the talismans in the Mist Camphor Forest. A group of outer disciples are going there for trials the day after tomorrow. You should go with them too."

"You old fool, why didn't you tell me sooner!" Nie Hongye threw down the vase in her hand. "What are we waiting for the day after tomorrow! I'm going right now!"
